Author's note:

I am so sorry for the long wait, seriously let me explain. Its my senior year I have exams, I have tennis, (I am actually good at it, number 1 varisity dude) anyway…yeah computer got infected with a virus so could not access internet for like 3 weeks. I have been having free internet for the last 3 years but then Comcast decides to do digital transition on me and it took another 2 weeks to convince my parents to get it on. Then I had to format my computer and all the saved files I placed on my ipod were corrupted…it was hell the last 2 months. But I am back with another chapter!! Only songstress because the other one's file is corrupted and I am currently working my but off to get it fixed. You may have noticed that there is no chapter 11, I didn't feel like renaming files so we are just going to jump on to chapter 12. Chapter 11 will be this recap of the whole story. Be patient because I am almost out of school and I can come back and start doing stuff again! Promise! Don't leave me!

CHAPTER 11 RECAP
Basically Rima Touya was a sold as a little girl to Senri Shiki, he was her master and in the first few years of her life she was very subservient to whatever he wanted. She developed a love for him that she knew would never come true. He leaves for some reason, I don't even remember and she is desolate for 6 years or so. Oh yeah I changed the age so she is suppose to be presently like near 17, but she looks young for her age of course. Anyway they are reunited and she runs into some difficulties like being kidnapped and forced to work in a brothel… this leads to some romantic situations but is it because he loves her or is it because she resembles his little sister??? GASP!! Its not really a big part of the story but just a side note there…anyway in the midst of all the fighting she is caught by a rogue vampire. Rima learns of their existence and is shocked when she finds out Senri is a vampire! DUN DUN DUN…and he attacks her…blah blah feelings and some more feelings…blah blah and then ta-dah forgiveness and thus here we are. That was chapter 11 for you… and she is tired of being useless…

One more note…
Yeah so thanks for all the reviews people, I am serious there were too much to account for , there are a couple of reviewers that I should thank for making me want to update everything again. OH yeah my email erased itself so I have to remember by memory, I think it was Georgiasakura or something close to that. I know it was a G. I am sorry for others too but seriously I can't remember all…anyway please review as usual and I hope you all don't hate me for my hiatus…seriously. 105 reviews…was not expecting that!!!

I stared into the window and examined myself one last minute before leaving the room. I can't believe that I had to sing for some extravagant party just so Senri and Takuma could meet their accomplices. They were making me work, and I hated this ridiculously expensive dress!

What made me upset about the whole thing was Senri offered my singing as payment for attending this party! Maybe it was just me but I thought that my singing was special to him and that only he would want me to sing to him. But I guess not!

"Rima, time to get out there!" Takuma cheered as I gave him a gloomy expression.
"I know that we should have told you sooner, but its going to be fun." He smiled.

I hate parties, there are just too many people in a room and it makes me sick. After attending Ayame's parties it made me sick to be out there again. This time there weren't a bunch of hungry men after me.

"Miss, may I take this dance?" he asked as he bowed.
I scanned him and noticed his similarity to Senri's blue eyes but his hair was a golden blonde.
Before I could answer Senri was already here greeting him.
"Aido, you're finally here," he shook his hand
"Yes , I was trying to get a dance with this lovely lady," Aido chuckled as he gave me a wink.
"Sorry, but she can't. She is working," Senri decided for me.

I wanted to reply back but kept it to myself.
"Now if the young lady wants a break then let her have one," Aido pushed the topic.
"We all have obligations," Senri responded.
"I am sure my father won't mind if she takes a break. Plus I think she wants to have fun and dance too" he said.
"Fine then I will dance with her," Senri answered angrily and took my hand.
"Wait but I-"
He led me to the ballroom and we tried to mix in with the crowd.
"You know, I don't really need a break. He was just saying that."
"It doesn't matter I don't want you dancing with anyone else here," he whispered in my ears when he pulled me closer.
We were so close that I could hear his heart beat.
"Why does it matter? Aren't I only a tool to this group," I said benevolently.

"Young ladies shouldn't be so bitter, it makes you age faster," he smirked as we continued to dance.
"Easy for you and half of the guests in here," I said sarcastically.
"Plus Aido is talking to Takuma right now, this is all business you know." He turned seriously.

For some reason Senri just seemed wearier, I don't know if vampires could be exhausted.
He stumbled a bit but picked himself up right away; he tried to play it off and pretend it was nothing.

"You seem tired, do you need a break?" I asked worriedly.

"Of course not, I am fine. Just a little tired." He pretended.

"Its okay if you take a rest you know," I suggested.
"If I do then all these vampires will try to eat you once I look the other way," he said as he held me tight.
"You don't need to protect me all the time that makes me look so weak. I don't want to be the damsel in distress, it sickens me." I reasoned.

"Talk to me about that when you are not a human. I just want to make sure that nothing will harm you."

The song ended and he had to stop when Takuma called us over. Afterwards he headed to Aido and another girl named Ruka. Her eyes were analyzing me and even taunting me.

"Takuma, does Senri look more exhausted then usual?" I asked out of concern.

He seemed hesitant to answer but gave me a pitiful look.
"He hasn't ingested any blood for almost a week now. That's astounding for a vampire but he also hasn't supplemented himself with any blood tablets." Takuma said quietly.

Talk that they were a vampire was almost like a taboo among us but I accepted their true identity.
"Why doesn't he just take some? Won't that make him all better?"

"I know but he is being stubborn right now, he is punishing himself for what he did to you. I didn't want to worry you and neither did he, but this is honestly killing him. He won't even drink mine, he really is troubled by his actions right now." Takuma sighed in relief after letting all the secrets out.

"Oh, I see."

I felt bad for putting him into such a situation and frowned.
"Hey lets not frown right now, I know you will do the right thing. It's not fair that we keep a lot of things away from you but don't worry too much okay?"

I nodded and went out on to sing a couple more songs.

…

"I am not going to judge you for your actions because you thought of this brilliant soiree. However I cannot overlook you bringing a human with you everywhere." Ruka scolded.

"Ruka, I am sure he has his reasons-"
"They are either selfish or stupid. Vampires don't need to mix in with them or else it will cause a calamity amongst the races."

"Ruka, you are going against you pureblood king's way. Kuran wants to both races to coexist." I pointed out.

She bit her lip and turned the other way.

"You let me do my business and you can handle yours no questions. I am doing this for a reason, don't judge or interfere with my choices." I warned her as I headed out to the ballroom. My mind wasn't settled and I felt dizzy. I don't know how much longer before my thirst for blood runs wild but those images of me scaring Rima makes me hate myself.

…

Why exactly did we have to leave the party early?" Senri said annoyed.
"Are you serious? Have you seen yourself, you're obviously worn out and tired, even for a vampire." I stated.

We continued walking towards the inn. It was quiet as we walked and the sky was illuminated by the stars and the moon. It was so peaceful and serene; we just wanted to enjoy this moment together.

"Rima, is there something that is bothering you?"
"No-no- nothing," I stuttered giving myself away.

"You know you're obviously hiding something."

"I want to help you. You and Takuma, I feel like such a burden because you are always there to protect me. I hate the feeling, I just want to be of some use," I said concerned.

We were both outside our rented room in the inn.

"What do you mean? You have remembered? There would have been no way to get into that party without you singing," he said obliviously.

"No, there's another way," I said as I opened the door and pulled him in.

"What are you doing," he asked frustrated as I closed the door behind me.

"I know that you have been short on those pills," I said as I pulled my hair away from my neck.
This is the only way I know I can help him, I don't want to be useless anymore. I need to do my share of the work.

"Please tell me your kidding," he laughed trying to pretend he didn't need it.

"You have been going against your nature by traveling by day and sleeping at night. I know that your body is having a hard time transitioning to a new schedule." I stated the facts and removed the necklace from my neck.

"This is ridiculous," he said as he tried to past me.

"Please just let me do this!" I grabbed him.

I looked into his eyes and held my grip on him.

"Let me do my part, I hate being the damsel in distress."

"You can do your share by going back to the partyand singing so we can get some money for our travels," Senri suggested.

"No, I want to help you. Please?"

He sighed and turned around and combed his hair with his hand.

"Aren't you scared from before? Why aren't you disgusted? I need blood to survive and I feel like a monster." He said grasping his heart.

"Because I have accepted what you truly are. I am not afraid-"

With his quick speed he had already tackled me onto the bed.

"Do you realize you are inviting a beast to devour your blood?"

"Do you realize that this beast has saved my life before?" I said as I sat up and moved my hair once again.

"But your not the same as all the other beasts," I replied stroking his cheeks.

"I am sorry," he whispered as his eyes turned a bright red as he placed his hand on mine.

It was coming; his lust for blood was too strong and I could feel the aura. He turned away ashamed before bringing me up to him.

One hand held my head as the other tried to move any stray hear near the neck. I was facing the ceiling and waiting for the fangs to pierce me. I felt his hot breath on my neck and the feeling of lips. I thought I heard him whisper sorry again before I felt the sharp fangs pierce into me. I could hear every sound he made while drinking the red substance. I held onto his back when I felt it was slipping away from his grasp.

The feeling of him draining my blood was different from before. I wasn't scared like I was last time.

After he finished he let go but I still held on, I wanted this moment to go on a little longer.

"Rima, what are you doing?" he asked as he let go.
"I am glad that I could help you." I said softly.

He decided to hold onto me also when I felt his arms wrap around me, he started petting my head.

"Thank you," he said

I think we both fell asleep after that event. I was exhausted and he finally let his body fall asleep. I felt safe and secure in his arms as we both finally relaxed from reality.

That's all folks…remember to review and I will add your name on the next chapter list! I promise!!!
