"Remeber, if any guy tries to rape you or mug you, pull this out and shoot them without any mercy! Got it!?"
I smiled and twirled the gun in my hand. "Totally!" I paused, remembering a moment between me and Zero.
What the hell dude!?" I attempted to knock the gun from his hand, but only ended up getting pushed onto the bed, him on top of me- grabbing my hand and placing it on the trigger, holding it up to his neck. My eyes widened.
"Shoot me. Before I turn into a level E." He demanded. "I want to die and I want you to kill me." Isn't he suppose to say this to Yuuki? My eyes widened even further and I quickly shook my head. Zero pulled the gun down and moved his hand down to my neck, ripping off the bandage. I flinched. "You heard it too. I know you did. The sound of me drinking your blood! You can't pretend that everything's okay. Not after going through something as awful as that." He ran his fingers across the bite marks.
"Zero, listen-" I began but was cut off. The jerk! The emo jerk! How dare he!
"I know I can no longer control the part of me that wanted your blood." Zero continued. "I'm afraid that this is going to happen again and when it does, I'll end up killing that person!" He pulled the gun back up to his chin. "So shoot me! Admit it! You're afraid of me now, aren't you!?" Uh, no. I'm afraid of shooting you, dumbass.
"No. I'm not-I'm not going to shoot you." I gave him a long hard look. Zero gave me a look and let go, dropping hte gun, getting off of me, standing up and grabbing his bag, and walked out the room.
"Then leave me alone." He left. Leaving me to lay there, on his bed, thinking about how everything was happening. Yuuki was supposed to be bi my Aidou, Yuuki was supposed to be bit by Zero, Yuuki was supposed to be on this bed in my place...Aidou should've told those words- altered- to Yuuki... Wait...Zero! I shot up and ran to the direction he went. Out on the courtyard he was, walking towards the gate to town.
"Zero!" I shouted, running as fast as I could. When I made it to him I did the only thing I could think of when I was close enough. I hugged him. He stopped walking and stood there. "You damn idiot! I don't care if there's a "Next time"! I won't let you hurt anyone else!"
"Amaya."
I ignored him and continued, ranting. "I'll personally beat you up if you try to hurt anyone else! You're my friend and It's my job to make sure you don't do anything reckless! And that means hurting people and yourself! So shut up, stuff it in your mouth, and eat it! And if you don't, I'll beat you up! I don't care what people think! I will do it!"
"Zero..." I whispered and shivered. You have no idea how weird it feels to have flashbacks!

"You are...Kuran Rido-Sama." Aidou exclaimed, looking down. Rido looked up and saw Aidou. He commented,
"I do not need any more appetizers, but you look to be something worth eating." Aidou froze. RIdo raised an arm up and ordered, "Come here. After all, you guys will not betray your "King" the Purebloods." Aidou's eyes glazed over, forced to obey, and made to step forward. I charged, Yuuki by my side, screaming and tackled him- catching him before he plummeted to his doom.
"Hanabusa you idiot! Wake up!" Aidou's eyes snapped open and gasped.
"Amaya! Wait!" He realized we haven't landed yet and that I just basically saved his life. I landed- not even noticing that I was off the ground till a few moments earlier. I set Hanabusa down and he fell on his ass. Yuuki stood protectively in front of us as she held her new bad-ass grim reaper weapon. I glared at Rido.
"Watch it ugly! You keep your dirty paws off my man or I will kick your god damn ass so hard you won't even remember who kicked you!" I screamed, holding a fiery fist up threateningly. Rido laughed and said,
"Such spirit. You're so much like Araiya it almost makes me want to cry. Key word, Almost." He said. "Now let me eat your bodies softly and let yourselves become a part of me. I'm so glad you both are here. I've been waiting for you both." He smirked at Yuuki and me. "The youngest and most energetic Pureblood Princess in this world. And the fiery Aristocrat daughter with Pureblood blood in her veins."
"Nice to meet you." I spat out.
"Are you Rido Ojii-Sama?" Yuuki demanded. His eyes scared me, Red and blue. I ignored the feeling.
"Alike." He said and immediately flew into Yuuki's face, making me scream in surprise. "You look like Juri."
"Don't touch me!" SHe screamed only to be slammed into a brick wall. I made to get up and attack but screamed when I was forced down by fucking blood whips.
"I've changed my mind." Rido said to Yuuki, face inches away from hers. "You will replace Juri and let me love you." Yuuki's eyes went wide and a small blush made it's way onto her cheeks. But her face quickly went into that of disgust and Aidou quickly pulled her away.
"Kuran Yuuki! Don't fall for it!" She glared at him.
"I'm not!" Aidou looked alarmed.
"Amaya!" He ran over and proceeded to help me get rid of the blood vine whip things. I struggled and grunted.
"Why am I the weak character who can't do anything but end up playing the role for the damsel in distress!?" I demanded, pissed off.
"Character-? How should I know!?" Aidou asked, breaking the blood. It snapped and I sat up, brushing myself off.
"Yuuki...right. The name that Haruka and Juri gave you. And...Amaya. Araiya and Jack's precious daughter."
"Amaya, Sempai, move back!" Yuuki demanded. "Let me defeat him! It's what I came here to do-!" She looked back surprised when we fell. Okay, here's what happened. She placed a hand on Aidou's chest- Aidou was holding me- causing him to fall backwards off the building. Taking me with him. We screamed.
We stopped screaming however when thunder sounded and a giant ass thing of rose vines appeared near where Yuuki was at.
MOON DORM
"Aiko." Shiki said and took out a box of pocky. Aiko grinned weakly.
"I...didn't even have to ask." The corner of his mouth twitched upwards slightly as he took out a piece of pocky and placed it in her mouth. Aiko smiled and sucked on the strawberry stick. Shiki then took one out for himself and ate, pausing when the building started to crumble. "What...the hell?" She wondered, looking up only to realize the whole Rido battle scenario must be going on. Shiki stood up and said,
"Aiko, sorry. It's too dangerous to stay here, so I'll have to carry you out, okay?"
Aiko let otu a gasp of pain when her shoulder brushed against his chest.
"Sorry."
"It's fine." She said quickly. Shiki cast her a glance slightly as he started to run out.
"Sorry. We have to hurry right now. We'll move a bit then exit through a window." He explained.
"Whatever...we can finish the pocky later."
"Alright." Shiki froze when his father landed in front of them- falling through the roof. Rido glanced behind him, seeing Shiki and Aiko. Shiki's eyes went wide and frowned determined when Rido aimed an attack at him. Shiki quickly dodged and ran.
AMAYA'S POV
"Wh-Why are you falling off the build-" He screamed as he was forced to the ground, Yuuki landing on top of him, standing. I flinched and muttered an,
"Ow." I looked at Aidou and asked worriedly, "You alright?"
"I'm fine." He muttered annoyed as Yuuki got off him.
"Oh...sorry Sempai."
"It's-It's okay...I tried to catch you but it failed..." He grunted and stood up, dusting off his uniform. "Kiryuu." He muttered, looking up at the fight. "As usual he fails to show the proper respect to Purebloods, huh?" AIdou then asked, "What where those things on his body!?"
"I think that was Bloody Rose." I answered. "It's shape changed, but it was able to stop Yuuki's Artemis." I explained. Yuuki looked at me confused.
"How's you know-"
"Psychic remember?" There was a silence and I asked Yuuki, "What's up?" She gave me an apologetic look before turning to AIdou asking,
"Aidou-Sempai, please take Amaya with you and cheer up the Day Class!"
"Huh!?" He asked, alarmed. My face was pissed but alarmed.
"W-What!?"
"Don't say stupid thing! Kaname-Sama told me to protect you!" Aidou argued. "I'm failing at the task but-!"
"But for normal Human girls, a situation like this is really frightening." Yuuki continued. She pulled on her best puppy dog face. "And the guys'll be freaking out, acting nervous, trying to eb the hero and get themselves hurt! Please! Only you two can do this! If Aidou-Sempai appears for the girls and smiles with his usual smile going "Don't worry! I'll protect you all!" And Amaya tells the boys to stop freaking out and that she'll let them protect her, then they all will stop freaking out! Right!?" I raised a hand, confused.
"Um, Hanabusa I understand, but me?" Yuuki face-palmed.
"Surely you noticed the looks the boys all give you!?"
"Umm...sure. Yeah, totally." I lied. She rolled her eyes.
"They all like you for pete's sake you idiot! You're one of the pretty Vampires! Suck it up!" I pouted and Aidou hesitated before grabbing my hand.
"Fine, fine! I'll do as you want and get out of here before he takes control of mind again!" He glanced behind him as we ran. "But don't go being careless and letting him flip your skirt or something! Otherwise Kaname-Sama will have my head!"
"Where the hell do you get these ideas!?" Yuuki demanded, raising her scythe threateningly. "I'll be fine!"
X.X
"Yuuki!" I called, running up to her and Zero- who seemed to be wrapped around by vines. "What happened-What are you doing!?"
"Trying to get rid of this damn gun!" She pulled and pulled, the gun wouldn't come out of Zero's hands. "It's draining his blood!" My eyes went wide and I immediately went to help. I glared and struggled- some of the vines catching on fire. In a matter of seconds the gun was out of Zero's hands and in mine. Zero screamed and clutched his arm as the vines moved out of his body.
"Zero!" I exclaimed. "Dude! Are you okay!?" I made to grab his hand to check but flinched and stepped back a little at the glare he gave me. "S-Sorry...if you're okay then I'll just be-" I pointed towards Yuuki and made to step back. Zero quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me forward, placing a hand behind my head as I slammed into his chest.."
"The Amaya I know..." He began quietly. Yuuki had a confused look, so I figures she couldn't hear us. "Is she inside you?"
"Y-Yeah." I muttered, face red and heart beating quickly. "She might vanish into the Vampire one though...but same personality, I think." I tried to explain better, voice a bit muffled, so I lifted my head up slightly. "The Vampire Amaya and the Human Amaya are one in the same. Basically, all the memories poured into me and I realized that I only wanted Hanabusa's blood." I just started saying the truth. Everything I thought and felt I said. "That I..." I honestly loved Hanabusa. I may not act like it a lot, but I do. I like Zero a lot too.
"Amaya, I..." My face heat up when he placed his lips close to my neck. "I only desired your blood, Amaya." I temporarily forgot about the manga. "I want it so much that it's unbearable. To the point that unless I drank from you until your life was in danger, I wouldn't be satisfied. Such a disgusting gluttonous greed." He whispered. I felt him bite down on my neck and pull back, blood dripping from his lips. We had a smal staring contest and I was more then surprised when he leaned down and kissed me.
Yuuki screamed from shock and I just blinked, eyes widening, heat beat going so fast I thought it would explode and face so fucking red you thought I was angry.
The kiss lasted for a whole of about 10 seconds.
"I have one last question." Zero said. I blinked. "Now that you regained your memories, are you rid of your fears? Your worries?"
"Minus heights? I believe so." I answered, trying not to freak out over the fact that I just got kissed by Zero. Isn't this technically cheating? Yuuki, I swear to god if you tell Aidou I will murder!
"Me too." He said. "I'm fine even if you are no longer next to me. I don't have anything holding me back now." Wait...I was holding him back? I'm confused. "I can relax and focus on accomplishing my objective." He let go, allowing me to back up a few steps. "Now go, Amaya. Go be with he man you can spend eternity with. But the next time we meet," He knelt down and picked up Bloody Rose. ", I will kill you, Amaya."
"Well in that case, "I grinned, finding the idea amusing. "I'll just keep running and never look back. That way you can live- so long as you have me, a Vampire Aristocrat with Pureblood blood running through her veins- to kill." He nodded and at the exact same time, we turned around and walked away. I looked at Yuuki and said, "Come on, Yuuki. We have to reunite you with yo brothah!"
I will never stop running. And I will keep running till the very ends of time. As long as I'm running, Zero can live. And as long as I'm alive, Zero won't die.
I stopped walking, confusing Yuuki, and fell to my knees, tears threatening to fall.
If you said you can find a way to live, in having an enemy to go after, I will do it. But..
"You said you were alright with it being like that, Zero." I whispered, tears falling. "How on earth could that be true!?" Yuuki knelt down next to me and hugged me, letting me cry into her shoulder. Jasmine... Because of you, I'll do anything to make sure nobody I love or care for will die but I... "I don't want to be enemies with you!" I screamed, muffled. Was that the only solution!? There could have been something else! I froze, remembering the kiss.
So that's what it was all about...
I'm sorry, Zero. I'm so sorry. But the Vampire me, not the Human me, is the real "me".
"That won't change." Yuuki told me, as if reading my thoughts. "And neither will the future." I stopped crying and blinked, looking up at her. I nodded and stood up, wiping away my tears. I've got no choice. I'll cover up the part that wants to cry and scream. Besides...
"Let's go see my fiance, eh?" I asked, grinning. She smiled and nodded.

Aidou slammed the doors open and shouted smiling, "Hi there! I beat up all the bad guys so you don't have to worry anymore!" Silence. "Huh?" He was confused. Seirin walked up and whispered,
"Stories have unfortunately spread." Aidou screamed and glared at her shouting,
"Don't sneak up on me like that!"
"They have realized, that we're Vampires." She finished.
"What?" Aidou asked and looked out at the students. "What's with those faces!? And to think for the first time I've saved humans for a reason instead of on a sudden whim!" He placed a hand to his head and scratched it nervously. "It's not like I did expecting gratitude or anything like that but uh..." He sighed, upset. "Whatever. I see now that you're only feeble creatures who can tremble in fear of everything."
"Aidou-Sempai!" Aidou looked over to see Sayori, smiling at him.
"Thank you. I was still a bit shaken from when you saved me in the room, so I couldn't properly thank you before." The blonde told him.
"Ah, your welcome." He said, scratching his face, still a bit nervous.
"Aidou-Sempai!" The girl with pig-tails that Zero saved before stood up and called out. "I've long thought there was something weird about you all!" She then pumped a fist in the air determined. "So I'm not going to be scared now all of a sudden!"
"Yeah everybody!" The female Dorm president agreed. Aidou blinked, recognizing her. A small burst of anger pulsed through him, remembering she was the same girl who treated Amaya like trash during break. "We were so suddenly attached to them before now! Are we going to turn our backs, just like that!?"
"DOrm president!" A girl exclaimed.
"It's not like the ones who attacked us are with them or anything."
"What's with that?" AIdou asked confused and slightly hurt. "You don't have to force yourselves." He sighed and closed his eyes. "Sorry but, we'll have to ask you to forget about everything. We'll erase your memories so-"
"No! Don't!" Another girl shouted. Aidou opened his eyes and looked up surprised. What?
"To forget everything?" The DP asked.
"No way!" Shino, the pigtail girl, shouted. "I don't want to forget! We're finally rid of the secrets!"
"Everybody who doesn't want to forget, please, stand up!" DP ordered. Aidou's eyes went wide at the fact that everyone wanted to remember.
"Hanabusa!" A familiar voice called and Pomegranates and Raspberries filled his senses. He turned his head.
"Amaya!?" He quickly wrapped his arms around her as she hugged him.
"Sorry!" She apologized. "I had to help Yuuki! Though Rido was technically ash by the time I got there-not the point! What's-why's everyone...oh yeah." She flicked herself in the forehead and flinched as she ended up cutting herself. "Ow..." Blood trickled down and the gls all watched as the wound healed.
"Amaya, you're in the Night Class now?" Yori asked, confused. Amaya blinked and looked up.
"Pretty much. It's so weird- too much white." She stuck her tongue out. "Not my style."
"So, you're a Vampire?" Another girl asked.
"Yep-Rawr!" Amaya shouted and grinned.
X.X Aiko's PoV
"Hey Wait a minute!" I groaned as Rima and Shiki's manager shouted at us. "It's bad enough you two made your poor manager drive you and some stranger somewhere in the middle of the night like this...I still might let that one pass, but..." Shiki ignored her and asked me,
"Are you sure you're alright?" I looked at him and nodded slightly,
"Pretty sure." I asked, face slightly red.
"No need to ask her every five minutes, Senri." Rima told him. "She's tough for a human."
"Thanks, Rima." I told her.
"-for you to tell me that you're going off into some remote forest to search for someone right now!?" The manager continued. "If you're not just joking around, I can't let this happen! I'm legally responsible for you as your manager, and I can't just close my eyes on this! Come back into the care, right now!" The three of us looked back at her and Shiki made me lean on him- even thought I said I was fine- but I wasn't complaining.
"But Takuma didn't come back yet." Shiki told her. I'm not really sure what happened to Takuma. I only watched the anime. Amaya did the manga. And yet...I feel as though we won't find him, just that he'll find us.
"A year has passed, and everybody has started walking to new places.
Amaya went with Hanabusa of course, Yuuki with Kaname. Aiko continued to be with Shiki and Rima.
And Zero went to who knows where.
But fret not, my dear humans. The adventure isn't even close to over.
I'm afraid...that it has only begun."
