kasseybaby123:"omg this is an awsome story! o love it 1 bamillion times plz write more hmmm didnt the story say that vampires fight for mates? does this mean that Hikaru and Kaoru r gonna fight for Haruhi as there mate since shes now a female vampire..."
1.) love ur name! ^-^ 2.) love ur review 3.) ur review may have caught onto something :P
RoyalRaven007:"bwahahaha ^^ sorry for being scary but I don't like being left in suspense :) I did like that Hell is gone now. DEATH TO HELL! BWAHAHAHAHA :) and Haru-chan as a vampire that is very interesting. I would like to put in a request for more Kyoya, he has so much potential for an accidental bad guy ^^ or a bad good guy or just an interesting shadow character, either way if you could work him in more in the future I would be grateful :) congrats on another finished chapter! can't wait to read more in the future ^^ (hopefully soon future ;)"
It's always okay to be evil sometimes^-^ i mean look at me! im evil to my characters a lot :P... i agree to "DEATH TO HELL" i didn't like him much in the story either. I promise i will try to put a little more kyoya-ness into the story if i can. none in this chapter, but he will still exist! i promise!
Dark Inu Fan:"It seemed almost inevitable for Haruhi to become a vampire... But I thought that Hikaru would have done it... the trio have always been close, but now they have another reason to be even closer. Now that Hell is dead... will Haruhi go back to living with her father? There's really no feasible excuse for her to continue to stay with the brothers without revealing what they are and what really happened to her. Another question though: how are they able to deal with going to 'public' school (as opposed to home tutoring) and host club? Isn't it difficult with at least one of the girls on her period and the blood that that includes at all times? Keep up the good work, dark"
I agree it was inevitable, but things never go as planned now do they :P. And to the "Home-school vs. Public/Private school", it will be hard for Haruhi at first, but to the twins, they have been taught to ignore the scent of blood when it comes to humans. Some of the twin's Teacher will come back into play in this story for Haruhi for sure! ^-^ damn i gave more away lol
HikaHaru4ever: thx for the review
Meredith Sock:"You updated! Ni pah! (Rika's catch phrase from Higurashi no naku koro ni. It means, "Beam") Good job for this chapter! I'm excited to see Vampire!Haruhi. I wonder if she'll lose control like Hikaru in some chapters? I can't wait to see the next chapter! Don't forget your Two/to/too's: "It's to late," -Use "Too," not "to.""
THX FOR THE FIX. i get confused sometimes so yea... i will fix that ASAP and i may have to watch "No Naku Koro Ni" now :P
Dark robin hood:"Okay . I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE your story! Your ideas of the plot are actually really original which is super hard to do with anything vampire related. Soooo congrats on interesting me with your originality! You made it into favs with this story so great job . I really like your writing style . Now onto other stuff ... Seriously you are goin to give me a stroke every time you have a typo because sometimes I get so caught up in a story that I don't take the time to make sure of what you actually meant . But don't worry about it too much though because it's nowhere near as bad as others , and I'm an extremely weird person when it comes to grammar ... At least that's what my friends, teachers, and family say. But again the errors aren't big and should be easy to fix. Ok then. Second. I don't really know if awe is the right emotion for kouru at the moment he sees haruhi though . Maybe more worry , regret, or anxiety even. That's just my opinion though . For all I know you could have had a super good reson for showing him as awed. I'm almost done I promise. you say that the handle of Hell's whip was not made of silver so that it wouldn't burn him? You might have I seriously just don't remember though sorry . That was just one thing that kinda confused me . Okay I think that this is the last thing. Lastly. Was haruhi not wearing her contacts at the time. She was attacked ?Because that might interfier with her newly enhanced vision. Soooo yeah just wonder about that one . Oh wait there was more . This is a question . Were Hikaru and Kouru's eyes red when they found Haruhi ? 'Cause I think that they would be . Yeah just a random thought of mine. One more and I promise I am done. What exactly did Hikaru mean when he said that Haruhi must be a pure blood ? She was human at that point right? Or if she wasn't they thought that she was though right ? I actually am wondering what her " gift" will be though. Well I think that that is all . Can't wait till you post again . Keep up the fantastic work! Oh , and don't you dare drop this story . K well then post soon . Te iubesc
okay i will start this response with... "YOU ARE THE LARGEST REVIEW I HAD THIS CHAPTER! XD *gives an extra large, freshly bakes cookie*
Okay to business... Ik i have some typo moments or mix up of words. i write most of this stuff when im half awake because when im sleepy i get the most inspiration, which makes it kind of hard to fall asleep... you all see my dilemma in this... -.-
second:yes, Hells whip handle wasn't laced with silver, i think i put that in there but idk... im to lazy to check ^v^
third: haruhi was going to bed at the time, she had her contacts out but i didn't think it was an important thing to add at the time. sry to confuse you
fourth: i actually slapped myself for this... i didn't add about their eyes being red and i felt stupid for it. i tried rewriting that into the chapter, but it hasn't been successful yet, but i promise it will get in there some day.
Last thing: to answer you're question. Pure bloods are humans who's blood are cleaner and untainted by sinfulness and hatred. Haruhi is a pure soul and usually doesn't hate anyone. Pure bloods are harder to ignore for a vampire. It's like smelling fresh baked cookies out of the oven, sweet and impossible not to taste XD. Most pure bloods are turned into vampires at an early age, so its rare to find one at her age. Hope that was a good explanation for you. I was going to add it somewhere in the story, but i couldn't ignore the question. And I'm not going to give any hints to what her gift is. that i will not spoil for you all :P and i wouldn't dream of dropping this story that so many ppl have come to love! i would die first!
iAiko: Yes you have reviewed for this story once or twice. And I'm glad you have ^-^ and of coarse there will be more chapters! this story is FAR from over...
princess-alice-malfoy-granger: OMG another username i adore :P where did you think of it! XD I wont spoil anything! :P thx for the review tho
bbfan7410: I wont deny a fan :P i just hope ur heart keeps going even if it stops every so often :P
snowy-ray08: thx for the review
Finally done :P okay from now on i wotn do review responses unless they are worthy questions or comments. Every few chapters ill leave a long review response chapter. Hope i haven't given to much away in those reviews tho eheh ^-^" ill shut up now and let you enjoy my intense chapter.
Haruhi woke up and came face to face with red hair. She blinked and sat up quickly, looking at the source. It was Kaoru fast asleep and on top of the covers. Haruhi looked to her right and found Hikaru asleep as well, the blankets pulled up from the edge on the bed and over his legs but also on top of the blankets. She looked out the windows and stared out and pure night. The lights were off, but the room almost looked dimly lit. Hikaru groaned next to her and sat up slowly.
"Evening sleepy head," Haruhi said quietly, so as not to wake Kaoru. Hikaru glanced at her. He jumped and got off the bed. "Hikaru what's wrong?" He blinked and relaxed.
"Sorry I forgot what happened for a moment," he said a little guiltily. "Ah Haruhi, I'm sorry. If I had gotten there sooner..."
"Sorry for what?" she asked. She stood up from the bed and stumbled at the speed she went. Luckily, Hikaru caught her when she fell. "Oh right, I'm a vampire now." She righted herself and tried sitting back down on the bed slowly, and was thankful when she went a normal human speed. She rubbed her aching head and sighed.
"Hang on, I bet I know why your head hurts," Hikaru said, walking out without another word. He came back a few moments later with a familiar looking water bottle. "Drink it, your still young so it might be a few days before the craving gets any better. Drink slowly so you don't get sick."
"Where do you get this stuff anyways? And where do you hide it?" she asked, taking the bottle and deliberately sipping it. It tasted amazingly sweet despite how it used to taste to her as a human, and the scent was even worse to handle. A mirror on the other side of the room allowed her to watch her eyes turn into a lovely shade of red.
"Well, we have a hidden fridge inside our wall under the bed," Hikaru said casually. His expression then darkened. "And as for where. Well, it's always nice to have a Soul Parasite with sources and links to hospitals."
"Ah." Haruhi took another drink and shut the cap, cutting off the scent. She put the bottle down on the bedside table and stretched. "Hikaru, don't blame yourself for what happened. I was careless, I should have ran when I had the chance."
"But I'm the one that left you alone," Hikaru argued back. He sighed. "It was my responsibility to take care of you, and I was careless enough to leave you on your own."
"I wasn't alone, Kyoya was there and you did take care of me." He gave her a confused look. "You came back as quickly as you could have and stopped him from drinking me dry, and you left me the dagger too. There wasn't much else you could have done."
"I could have not been selfish and stayed with you," he said sadly.
"We both know you wouldn't have done that with the choice to go laid out in front of you," Haruhi said back. She stood up and hugged him. He tensed and she quickly loosened her grip a little; he relaxed immediately. "Quit blaming yourself. What's done is done and nothing can change the past. We just have to keep going with what we have left in front of us." Hikaru hugged her back finally. After a moment she heard rustling behind her.
"Awe, what a cute moment," Kaoru said groggily. Hikaru pulled away and scowled at Kaoru. She turned and saw him smirk at them. "Okay love birds back to bed."
"What?" Haruhi asked.
"It's night time, and any normal human would be asleep at this hour. Because you are still newborn you haven't been trained into the sleep schedule and normally sleep during the day," Hikaru prompted.
"And because we were up all night last night we need to re-train," Kaoru continued. "So we all need to go back to sleep, either that or stay up until 11 pm tomorrow."
"Trust us the first choice is easier," they both finished. Hikaru kissed her forehead and walked over to Kaoru. Haruhi blushed and watched what he was doing.
"Come on Kaoru, time to leave the lady to sleep in her own bed."
"No the bed is warm," Kaoru whined, grabbing onto the bedpost.
"Come on we are losing sleep," Hikaru complained, grabbing Kaoru's feet and pulling.
"No!" Hikaru continued to pull and Kaoru continued to hang on for dear life. The bedpost started tilting and creaking from the prolonged force. Haruhi sighed.
"Guys you're going to break it..." She was ignored. Haruhi sighed again, grabbed the blood bottle and walked out of the room. The arguing ceased and she heard the two of them peak out of the room.
"Haruhi where are you going," they called.
"The next room over," she replied, standing next to the neighboring door. "That way you guys can stop arguing and trying to break my bed. I'll sleep in here and you two can have my room for the night."
"Okay," Kaoru said without a second thought. He ran into the room and Hikaru yelled after him to knock it off, running into the room again. Haruhi sighed. With those two being as hyper as they are tonight, I'll never be able to get any more sleep. She stepped away from the door and continued to walk down the hall until she was almost out of ear shot of them. Turned out that was almost on the other side of the mansion. Wow vampires have good hearing. There would never be any private conversations in this house...
She went into the room and laid down on the bed. She turned over twice before slamming her face into the pillow with exasperation. She would never get back to sleep at this rate. She groaned and sat up again, making sure to go slower than her body wanted to go. She grabbed her blood bottle and went out on the small terrace. She started drinking the liquid in the bottle and almost couldn't stop herself from downing it like the first time. It tasted so warm and sweet, she couldn't stop drinking. Soon her headache was gone, and she was more awake than before.
She started to feel a little more than confined in the house. She looked down and first noticed that her vision was even more sharp and defined than before. The colors were visible even though it was a moonless night, and the wind carried all sorts of sweet smells. Then she saw the tree only a few yards from her window. She was only on the second floor, so she shouldn't get hurt if she jumped down. She wanted to run, surely there wouldn't be any harm in that. Just a little exercise to cure a case of cabin fever. She climbed up onto the edge of the terrace and looked over the distance again. Oh yea, I could make it. With that last thought in mind, she jumped towards the tree.
They had both finally stopped arguing. Kaoru had given up and they both had gone back to their own room. Hikaru was worn out from Kaoru's surprising energy. It happened whenever he used his power for an extended amount of time. Hikaru laid himself down on his bed and watched Kaoru ignore it and go for his laptop.
"Kaoru, we need to go to sleep," Hikaru sighed. Kaoru's shoulders slumped and he looked back at Hikaru.
"But I'm not tired. I'll take the harder route tonight and then catch up with you guys the next day," he responded, turning back to the screen. Hikaru sighed tiredly and laid back on his pillow.
"Man you are going to be a pain in the ass tomorrow," Hikaru muttered. Kaoru chuckled but didn't retort. Just as he shut his eyes, Hikaru heard a small rustle of a tree branch on the other side of the mansion. He shot up and saw Kaoru already standing. They walked to the window without giving thought to go slow and opened it wide. Hikaru was the one to look out, and saw a dark shape jumping down from a tree on the opposite side of the yard. Hikaru climbed onto the sill and motioned to Kaoru to follow before jumping down. He landed softly on the grass, not making a sound, and started heading towards the figure. Just as he heard Kaoru land, the shape took off towards the road.
"That's no ordinary burglar," Kaoru said.
"I'll follow him," Hikaru said. "Go check on Haruhi."
"No need," Kaoru said straight after with a surprised tone, pointing at the figure. Hikaru turned and saw the figure pass under a garden lamp. It was Haruhi.
"Oh no. Damn it no!" Hikaru took off after her. She took the corner into the outer streets and disappeared from view. Hikaru turned the corner and saw her far ahead. They didn't even pause in their pursuit. "Kaoru, can you slow her down?"
"I can try, but it will slow me down," her responded.
"No problem, I'll catch up to her." Kaoru nodded beside him; his eyes turned red and focused. He immediately lost momentum once he was tapped into his gift and was a few feet behind him before he knew it. Hikaru pushed his legs to go faster as Haruhi's figure began to disappear. At least she hasn't ran into any humans yet. We have to catch her before she gets closer to the main road.
Sooner than expected, Haruhi began to get closer to him. Did Kaoru actually stop her? Then a faint scent hit him, making him stop in his tracks. He smelled a familiar perfume that could never be mistaken when mixed with Haruhi's scent. Sure enough, not far from where Haruhi was standing, a small bar sat on the corner of the street with Ranka moving canisters of beer into the building.
Hikaru saw Haruhi struggle to take a step forward, and was immediately glad Kaoru wasn't tired yet. Ranka was bent down and setting a canister on the ground. Four seconds before he looks up. Hikaru broke into a sprint towards Haruhi, who was beginning to walk briskly. Ranka had removed his hands from the canister and was beginning to go upright. Haruhi was now jogging, and Hikaru was still a few yards away. Ranka stood erect and wiped his forehead, facing them with his eyes shut.
"Dad?" he heard Haruhi call as she approached the cross walk. Hikaru grabbed her waist and pulled her behind a parked car, just going out of sight as Ranka opened his eyes to see if someone had called him. He covered her mouth and pinned her to him so that she was faced outwards. The first thing he noticed were her fangs, and shivers went through his body. She was blood lusting, her fangs are completely grown out. Then he noticed Kaoru running up in a normal human speed, his eyes back to their normal gold.
"Ah, Hikaru. How are you?" He heard Ranka call.
"Actually sir, I'm Kaoru."
"Oh I'm so sorry Kaoru, I'm tired tonight so I didn't notice," Ranka said quickly. Yea right, both he and Kaoru thought. "How is Haruhi, and what is the update on the search? I haven't heard anything back from the police." Kaoru hesitated. Say nothing Kaoru. As far as the humans are concerned that monster is still alive and hunting Haruhi. Tell him nothing!
Kaoru gave Ranka a bright smile. "Haruhi is fine, in fact she's actually been very happy lately. Things have been very quiet around the mansion, so I doubt that man knows where she is. In fact, I bet you could even come over to visit it's so safe. " Hikaru gasped and Kaoru noticed his mistake and started laughing nervously. Ranka's face brightened.
"Really! Could I really come over and see my precious girl?" Ranka yelled happily, running across the road to Kaoru.
"Uh~, sh-sure you can. But we would have to make security changes and figure out when would be safest! It could take quite some ti-"
"How about this Friday? I have the day off," Ranka interrupted giddily, obviously not listening to Kaoru's failed attempts to dissuade the over-excited tranny.
"S-so soon? But I don't know if we will be out of town-" Kaoru stammered nervously.
"It's settled, I'll come by around four o'clock. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to work." Ranka gave a final happy wink and pranced back to the bar. Kaoru was froze to the spot, his eye twitching and his face giving off complete confusion and panic with one hand raised as if the gesture could change Ranka's mind. He was shivering slightly; his nervous laugh was back and was fearful as well, as if he knew how much of a beating he was going to get once they were all back to the mansion by his older brother.
Hikaru scowled and turned Haruhi to face him. "Now listen... You-." he stopped mid-lecture. Haruhi's eyes were shockingly brown and normal; her fangs bright and sharp on her lower lip. She looked at him in pure confusion and sanity. The same old Haruhi, with the adding of fangs, inhuman speed and blood lust. Wait, if her eyes are normal, then she wasn't lusting? "W-what are you doing out here?"
"I had a case of cabin fever. I felt like going for a run," she answered simply without hesitation.
"C-cabin fever?" Hikaru released her arms and stared dumbly at her, completely shell shocked. He didn't see Haruhi start to poke him and wave her hand in his face. It was just cabin fever? She wasn't hunting? Kaoru and I panicked... over a case of cabin fever?
"Yo, Hikaru." Haruhi snapped her fingers at his eyes and Hikaru blinked, bringing himself out of his confused musings. Her fangs were gone.
"Haruhi, stay right here. I'll snap Kaoru out of whatever your father has thrown him into and then we are going back to the mansion." Haruhi nodded to him and sat back on her knees. Hikaru walked over to Kaoru and stared at him. Kaoru didn't even seem to see him. Forgive me for this... Hikaru glared at Kaoru and brought his hand down on his face, knocking him over with the sheer force of it. Kaoru landed on his but, shaking his head and rubbing his face. "You moron, I said not to tell him anything!"
"I'm sorry he caught me off guard," Kaoru yelled. He groaned and rubbed his now red cheek. "Geez, you didn't have to slap me that hard."
"Well I think it's a just punishment," Hikaru responded, straining to sound calm.
"Punishment for what?" Kaoru asked meekly.
"For letting a human catch you off guard," Hikaru snapped, his pulse skyrocketing with irritation.
"Oh," Kaoru mumbled, standing up. "Sorry." Hikaru nodded, forgiving him. Then Hikaru stumbled to the ground as Kaoru slapped him across the face.
"What the hell was that for," Hikaru yelled, standing and rubbing his sore face.
"For letting your guard down around me," Kaoru snapped at him. "And thinking I would let you get away with hitting me." Hikaru's anger returned, his eyes burning with anger and his claws itching to come out. Kaoru blinked with surprised anger and went into a defensive pose, his claws coming out.
"And you think I would let you get away with hitting me?" Hikaru said to Kaoru with mock sadness. Kaoru's eyes turned red, sensing the challenge, and growled. Hikaru suddenly went still, shocked at the horrendous sound coming from his brother. My brother. My brother's eyes have killing intent in them. Would he really think on fighting me like this? Why is he so willing to fight me so suddenly? Wait, why am I so willing to fight him like this!
His anger drained, and he found himself backing away. He noticed that he was shaking, actually afraid of what was happening. Memories attacked him; his first breath as a vampire, his first sight of blood on his hands, the horrific moment of when he was first satisfied by drinking blood, and the day when his lust got the better of him...
The color in Kaoru's face drained, and his claws disappeared. Fear revealed itself in his golden eyes. He ran to Hikaru, who forgot how he had come to sit on the ground, and hugged him fiercely speaking apologize to him. Tear drops landed on Hikaru's shoulders and he felt tears run down his face in shame, hugging Kaoru close.
Haruhi sat staring at Hikaru and Kaoru. Both were sitting on the ground, crying and hugging each other. She was shocked to see what had just happened. She couldn't believe the hate that was in both of the twin's red eyes. At first she almost made herself get up and come between them. She almost had, but then the red in Hikaru's eyes disappeared and he backed away and falling to the ground. She had felt his fear, and was rubbing her arms the cease the shivers that had gone down them. He was afraid, shocked, confused and ashamed of himself.
She was shocked and confused herself, because at that moment she had felt the anger Hikaru had for his brother, and not only had she been terrified, but amused. She had wanted the fight; wanted to see them lash their claws at one another and she them shed each others blood. She had taken pleasure in the thought of it. And now she was more afraid of herself than of what she had just witnessed. She started shivering again, the feeling clawing up her throat and threatening to make her throw up the recently drank blood she had just had.
What is wrong with me?
