Chapter 14
A/N: Well folks, this is it. The last chapter of this story. In my poll I'll be deleting the story that I'll be doing next, which is A Harry Potter story with Harry bitten by a werewolf, and a vampire's mate. It shall also be an Anita Blake crossover, but don't worry if you've never read the Anita Blake books, I'll be explaining everything. For those of you that have, It will have Anita bashing and I'll be stealing several lines from the books. I'll be putting up the first chapter soon, and there will be a poll in it about the pairings. I'll tell you more in my first authors note in the story, so I'll let you get to the story now. Thank you everyone for reading, and don't forget to review dammit!!
The next week positively flew by but for one incident that shocked everyone in the Vampire Lord's household quite badly. An assassination attempt. Oh, it was, of course, expected for someone in his position, but it hadn't happened in so long that they had all ceased to expect them, and as such, were all quite unprepared for it when it actually happened.
You see, vampires are immune to all poisons except for one, the rarest of them all. Basilisk venom. And who would be able to get it? After all, the last recorded Basilisk was in Hogwarts around five years ago, and was killed by Andrea Potter.
But, none the less, the same timid serving girl that Andrea had smiled upon earlier in the week had either found some or had been given some, and had found that her hand 'slipped' over Kakashi's daily meal of blood.
Fortunately, she had forgotten about the vampire's frighteningly acute sense of smell. Kakashi had smelled it, and had been suspicious. He had never smelled Basilisk venom before, and if he hadn't already been suspicious of the serving girl, he would have very likely died that night. His way of dealing with her had Andrea rethinking her opinion of the Vampire Lord.
He had simply ordered her thrown out of his castle with no money and no belongings. Of course, Andrea had no idea that just beyond the castles gates a group of bandits waited, paid by Kakashi to rape and kill the former serving girl in the most humiliating way possible.
But after that life continued on in what passed for normal for them. Kakashi didn't press her for anymore sex, and he was kind and always had time to listen to her.
So, when at the end of the week Voldemort and his Death Eaters attacked the castle, emboldened by Dumbledore's death and Andrea's apparent abandonment of the Wizarding World, she didn't bother to wait for the dunderheads at the Ministry.
She viciously attacked him, and to her eternal surprise and wonder, managed to get in a lucky shot and killed his snake faced ass! The reptilian Dark Lord fell limply to the ground, blood gushing from the stump that once held his head.
Andy got sprayed by the blood and choked as some of it made it's way into her mouth. In her opinion it was like having a mouthful of those American coins, pennies.
Finally, unable to take anymore stress, the blood in her mouth being the last she could handle, she did the most feminine thing that she had done. Ever. She fainted.
And I don't mean simply passed out, I mean she did the full out swoon that you see in the movies. And just like in the movies, Kakashi was right behind her to catch her when she fell limply towards the ground.

Andy's eyes blinked open and she…coughed up a startling amount of phlegm and spat it out in a bowl placed by her bedside for exactly that purpose. When she was done she glanced around the room, grimacing when she saw Fudge.
He was not a pleasant sight to see when you've just woken up. But none the less, she listened as he spoke of Dumbledore's death, and while she was fairly indifferent on the inside, (after all, the man had pretty much whored her out) she managed to look properly sad on the outside.
However, had she known the plans for Remus Lupin, she would've reanimated his dead ass simply to kill him again. She was faced with her first true dilemma when Fudge said, "It is now that you must make your choice.
Do you wish to stay with the vampire's," here he sneered slightly, "Or come with us back to the Wizarding World?" When he finished he looked smug, like he know exactly what she was going to choose.
But she honestly didn't know what to choose. The vampires had been kinder to her than the Wizarding World had ever dreamed of being, but everyone she loved was part of said world. When she looked at Remus Lupin with a slightly desperate gleam in her emerald eyes he just shrugged as if to say, 'It's your choice'.
She bit her lip in concentration, but nearly bit straight through it when Fudge finally snapped, "Just make up your damned mind already!" Kakashi looked extremely pissed off, and moved to confront the pudgy man, but Andy just shook her head minutely at him, that small confrontation having made up her mind for her.
She looked at Fudge, and behind that irritated look was fear. Fear that she would finally decide to be selfish for once and leave the world that had been so cruel to her behind her. And his fear came true when she quietly murmured, "I think I'll stay with the vampires, if they don't mind."
The look she shot them was partially shy and they all realized, with very real shock, that her fight with and defeat of Voldemort had so firmly shaken her that all of her masks had shattered into thousands of pieces.
It was with a determined look that Kakashi decided that she was never going to need to rebuild her intricate masks ever again.
