Saya's POV

What's going through your mind, father? Is he here to spy on me or he wants to capture me? I can't shake off the worry and that bothers me. I hate not knowing something but it can't be helped. My father is a cunning man. After all I took after him. I look at my new history teacher and I have to say that he doesn't look a day older since the last time I saw him. My uncle. I can't believe father has sent his own brother to hunt me down.

It's been a week since Albert started teaching the Day Class and a week since I've done my best to ignore everyone around me. Aidou went back to cheerfully egging on the Day Class girls but I could still see the sadness in his eyes whenever he caught a glimpse of me. I felt really sad whenever I saw the pain I caused him but it's better like this. I don't want to put him in danger. The bell signalling the end of the day went off.

"Saya... Saya..." I could feel someone shake my shoulders and I looked up to see Yuuki. I'm so tired; I've been awake this week more than I've been asleep as I was trying to figure out what my uncle is planning.

"What's wrong, Yuuki?"

"You seemed to be lost in space and I got worried but we have guardian duties right now." Just as Yuuki said that, Albert came into the classroom and looked around till he spotted me. I got called over.

"Go ahead, Yuuki. I will come after I've talked to our history teacher." Yuuki listened to me and I went over to see what he wants.

My uncle led me outside and it wasn't long before we were surrounded by trees. I already knew this wasn't going to be a teacher-student kind of talk. More like a hunter-prey kind of talk. We finally came to a stop and in a flash my uncle was standing right in front of me, holding me up by my neck. I placed my hands on his hands that were around my neck and looked at him, trying to not show any weakness. He sure wasn't one for talks, just like I remember.

"Diane Aurora Von Asgard, are you ready to face your sins?" He was asking me however his grip on my throat wasn't getting any weaker. What's the point of asking me a question if you won't let me answer? I started to struggle in an effort to break free however this wasn't my brightest idea. My uncle got angry and punched me hard in the stomach while still holding me by my neck. Blood came out of my mouth and I was doing my best to try and not lose conscience. He gave me a smug smirk and I wished to punch that smile off his face.

Third person PoV

Just as the night class was about to head to their class, they could smell the scent of blood in the air and they all recognised it instantly. Aidou was quick to react and in an instant turned around and left towards the smell. The entire night class followed.

A certain level D vampire/hunter could also smell the blood and in a hurry went towards its direction, followed by a petite short haired girl. Zero took his gun in one hand and had a frown on his face, not like that was anything new.

The night class came to a halt as they got to the source of the smell and saw a man which they recognised as a day class teacher, holding Saya up by her neck. Shortly after the guardians arrived and they all froze in place as they didn't know what to do.

"Stein-sensei, what's the meaning of this?" Yuuki asked her history teacher.

"Oh ignore me. I'm just teaching my cute niece some manners." He tightened his grip on Saya and she flinched. Pain was now visible on her face.

"Let her go, you are going to kill her. What has she done to you?" Aidou shouted.

"To me, she hasn't done anything however she committed the biggest treason of all. We cannot overlook that. Now stay aside and let me do my job." Saya took advantage of her uncle looking away to kick him and free herself from his strangling. Albert was on the floor and Saya's heavy breathing was the only thing breaking the silence. In the next second Saya was flying towards a tree and the blow given by her uncle was so strong that she broke right through the tree and hit the next one behind it. She collapsed to the floor, her uniform got ripped at the back and blood was everywhere on her clothes.

Saya's PoV

Damn him. He really doesn't hold back. I'm still sitting on the ground with my back leaning against the tree. My wounds were starting to heal but blood was everywhere. I got on my feet and ran towards my uncle. He dodged my first attack however in a swift movement I was behind him and I kicked him in the same direction that he did. I must have kicked him too hard since his fall had to be broken by three trees. Damn, how do I explain that? Everyone in the night class was watching curiously including the guardians. They might as well bring the whole school for the show. My uncle stood up and started walking towards me. I found his actions weird and I wasn't sure if he was going to attack or what was his plan so I started to move backwards.

"This wouldn't be happening if you have just stayed where you belonged instead of mingling with that human. He is the core to all the sins you have committed." My uncle started talking and that was his mistake. I summoned some vines quickly and wrapped them around my uncle's limps, stopping him from moving around or attacking.

"And probably I would do it all again. He meant the world to me. I don't regret my actions. It's much better than living on this planet for an eternity alone. Go back to my father and tell him, if he wants to catch me then he better step up his game." The vines released Albert and he was too weak to fight as they absorbed his energy. He made an escape as soon as he was free and Saya finally relaxed. Aidou approached her and she relaxed in his arms.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I've been better but this is nothing new to me." Saya told him with a look of sadness in her eyes.

Everyone in the night class approached her, including the guardians. They were all staring at her back to see blood but no wounds.

"Where are your wounds?" Yuuki was the first to ask.

"They probably healed if you can't see them anymore."

"But how..."

"Don't act stupid. You probably noticed already that I'm not human from the fight I had with my uncle." I didn't feel like explaining stuff to her and at this moment her voice annoyed me.

"Why were they after you?" Ruka spoke at least.

"It's personal..."

"Personal or not, you put the academy in danger and from the look of it you will continue to do so. Now spill." Ruka said annoyed and everyone agreed with her, including Zero.

Saya sighed and nodded in defeat. "We should go to the chairman to discuss this matter. But let's allow Saya to rest for today. We will do the meeting tomorrow." Everyone agreed with Yuuki and left for their class. Aidou was about to leave but Saya stopped him.

"Stay with me..." Her voice was weak and Hanabusa could not believe his ears. In a heartbeat he was back by her side and took her in his arms. They were now standing in her dorm room. Hanabusa placed Saya on the bed and she was looking at him closely.

"Drink..."

"What?" Hanabusa was confused.

"You can smell my blood right? I can tell you're trying your best to control your thirst so drink."

"But... Are you sure?" Saya didn't reply but instead brought her neck closer to his mouth and he took it as an invitation.

After a while Hanabusa stopped drinking her blood and looked her in the eyes. "Why did your own uncle try to kill you?" She looked away.

"I will tell you the reason, after you know you can decide whether you still wish to be with me or not."

Saya started telling everything to Hanabusa and he listened to the whole story without asking questions or interrupting her. After she had finished telling her story to him she was waiting for his rejection but it never came. Instead he wrapped his arms around her tightly and held her. Saya wrapped her arms around him with equal force and tears of happiness started falling down her cheeks.

"Nobody knows the whole story, not even Kaname. I will tell them tomorrow in the meeting with the headmaster but I wanted you to be the first to know, Hanabusa." She told him while still holding on to him. Neither one of them seemed to want to let go.
