Ok this was a very long chapter on of my longest by far. I am not going to waste your time by adding name of the reviewers because it gets long sorry. But I did respond to those who had questions and concerns about last chapter already so I hope everyone is satisfied. Yes I added who is talking so no one is confused in both of my stories. So please enjoy and don't kill me!

SHIKI POV

It was early morning and I had just vanquished another level E vampire.
"You have been really ruthless these past couple of days," Takuma smiled and shrugged his shoulder as he walked towards me.

"Well these miscreants just keep on causing havoc and its annoying," I said as I watched the vampire become dust.

"They have been increasing lately, just say it. You are getting angry now that your father has resurfaced after ten years," Takuma deducted.

"What have we been doing? We weren't even able to find out anything about him or his whereabouts, all we have been doing is playing school at Cross Academy for the last ten years," I gritted.

I felt a sudden pang in my throat and realized I needed blood.

"Come on its almost early morning; let's head back before those crazy girls maul you again."

"Oh, it was kind of fun and creepy how they were letting me body surf," he joked.

"I don't think that prefect Zero wanted to see that in the morning, he is also pissed at our existence." I said as I started to head back to campus.

…

Right when I entered the dorm room I immediately grabbed my blood tablets and chugged a couple to quench my thirst and sat passed out next to my bed on the ground.

"I think you are suppose to drink that with water," Takuma said offering me a glass.

"It can just dissolve in my system," I said as my throat stopped throbbing for blood and my eyes felt back to normal. Then I accepted Takuma's offer and drank all the water too with a couple more blood tablets.

"You seem more exhausted and tired after every mission," Takuma said worriedly.

"This is my punishment," I said bitterly.

Takuma nodded and threw me a brand new box of blood tablets. It has been ten years since I have seen her innocent smile and ten years since I broke her heart. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her and her existence.

"A punishment from Rima," I said as I pulled out that necklace that she had given back to me.

I imagined that she probably has her own family and what not and hope that she forgot me already. I think I made it pretty easy to but for me to get over her is so difficult. I remember my mom telling me that vampires needed their thirst to be quenched by the one they love and I didn't think it was possible for a human's to have the same affect.

"Come on Kaname is having a meeting about the recent level E's activities," Takuma said extending his hand out to me. I placed the necklace back in my pocket and got up to follow Takuma.

Kaname Kuran, our pureblood leader, has assembled many nobles and aristocrat vampires to Cross Academy. A school where humans and vampires have been coexisting as a way to show that the two races can live peacefully together; although the humans are oblivious to the fact that we are vampires.

It was split into the night class and the day class, night class as in vampires and humans into the day class and it showed that we could control our temptation to human's blood.

"He is going to reveal himself soon enough, I suggest all that are with the senate to watch out. You might be fighting some of your fellow classmates in the future," Kaname said with his commanding voice. I knew who he was looking at, me his half blood cousin.

There were a couple of those who were on the senate side at the school but mostly were for Kaname. However I have chosen to go after my father and go against my family who are with the senate. Takuma has also chosen to rebel against his grandfather and decided to be on Kaname's side.

"We have much to accomplish before the senate takes us on. I know the time is coming soon for when we have to fight hordes of level E vampires, remember that we reside at Cross Academy and that all humans here must be protected if they were to attack the school. After a few more orders and recommendations the crowd dispersed.

All that was left were the main nobles and I guess you could say Kaname's gang but that would have offended him.

It consisted of Ruka Souen a girl that has evidently fallen in love with the pureblood Kaname. Aidou Hanabusa, a loudmouth and I would like to say Kaname's number one fanboy. Then there is his cousin Kain Akatsuki, quiet guy that is always following Ruka and Aidou and trying to prevent a fight. Then just me and Takuma because we were in after Rido just as much as Kaname.

"So there are a few places that need to be checked out because of recent suspicious activities. There has been an increasing amount of reports of missing people after they go into a clubs. Usually it is just one person a night but it is still suspicious and I believe that the bartenders and servers are lying when they say they haven't seen the missing person attending the club according to my agents," Kaname said as he crossed his arm.

"So that might explain the increase of level-E vampires," Takuma pointed out.

Kaname nodded and continued," well then we should investigate each place tonight. I want Ruka and Kain to go together and Aidou and Takuma. I believe you can handle this on your own Senri, and I want you to go to this specific club he said handing me a folded piece of paper.

"You are all dismissed," Kaname finished.

…

A different person's point of view

The bar was filled with desperate men with a lot of money but no woman to accompany them. Then there were the numerous amounts of people who were sitting there watching me sing but not listening of course. With the little soul and heart I had left I began to sing and have them entranced and begging for more. Out of all these men only one lucky guy would venture backstage with me.

Preferably a young soldier with the potential to serve me and one full of money in his pockets; as I continued to sing I noticed one that seemed to have a lot of cash flowing in him as he kept ordering the most expensive amount of beer. I looked over at the bartender and he nodded and then I winked at the young fellow and beckoned him to come back when the stripper came in. Everyone sighed and was disappointed to see me go, but I blew kisses to them letting them know I would be back. I gave the stripper a dirty look to make her feel inferior even though what I was doing was worse than her.

The young soldier didn't even waste time once we were in the locked room. I felt his dry lips on mine and felt his hands searching for a way to get my dress off. He was faster than the usual ones and I had to slow him down. I pretended to enjoy his company as he pushed me against the wall and he liked hearing me making those sounds and took his mind off removing the dress. I noticed a ring rubbing against me and saw that he was married.

"Do you have children?" I asked in between breath as his hands found what held my dress on.

"No, just an annoying wife," he said as he pulled the strap to remove the dress.

"Wait," I said as I held onto the front dress and gave him a short but tempting kiss and gazed into my eyes. Shortly after he became void of all thoughts and stood there hypnotized.

"You're going to serve under me and only me," I instructed.

The soldier became entranced and nodded.

"Yes master," he said hollowly.

Right on cue a dark shadow appeared behind him and looked at me. The shadow bit into the human and turned him into a vampire. I grabbed his wallet and happy to see several hundred dollars in his wallet. Then that human turned vampire walked away knowing what his next mission was and headed out the door.

"That is your 10th human this week, and your 5th to add to your personal army," he said as he began tying my dress again.

"I can't have my maiden defiled, "the shadow said as he began to unbutton his collar.
"You deserve a reward for your hard work," and without hesitation I bit into him. I needed his blood; it was what kept me sane and alive.

"So desperate for my blood," he chuckled, "sometimes I wish you were yearning for it like a lover but then again you wouldn't have the strength or mentality to kill my dear son; the need to kill the person who gave you this curse."

After I finished I licked my lips clean and grabbed my jacket from inside.

"I am so desperate because this is a punishment from your son Senri Shiki."

…

Shiki's POV

"That is the 15th human disappearance this month," Takuma said passing the newspaper on to me.

"It's probably that same person that Kaname was talking about," I said pushing it aside.
"It can't be Rido, there must be someone doing the dirty work for him and he just transforms them into vampires," Aido deducted.

"So there is someone working as a decoy? I doubt it because all he needs to do is bite the human. Why go through so much work to get one human at a time?" Ruka interrupted.

"No, he might actually have a good point. There must be someone else working alongside with him. But the question is why does he need that second person?" Kain added.

"It doesn't matter at this point, we just need to accomplish our goals for tonight," Ruka said folding her arms.

"Once it is sun down we can head out," I said looking outside the window. Just another hour and we can head out.

Everyone left to get ready and then I pulled out the paper that Kaname had handed to me.
Evidently it was a flyer for a bar club. Why in the world would this be important to me?

…

After heading into the appropriate town I searched for the bar club

It was a karaoke bar and I noticed a lot of soldiers in uniforms. Humans can be so weak when it comes to the temptation of the opposite sex. I walked in and was filled with second hand smoke and the smell of beer. They were young men gathered at table yelling and retelling their war stories. Some complained about their wives and wanted to never come home. Currently there was a young girl dancing on the pole and looked at the time. It was almost nine and all of a sudden as I looked around the club became more packed. It seemed like everyone really wanted to watch the nine o'clock show, I took a seat at a small table and waited.

So far there isn't anything suspicious and the bartenders didn't look like they could vampires, they smelled too much like humans. One minute before nine people were cheering and yelling and chanting Reira. That name sounded so familiar, I know I have heard it from somewhere.

"Come on bring her out already, get rid of the stripper already!" they yelled.

This is amazing they would rather hear the singer then see the stripper?

The lights dimmed and then were aimed on stage, and then everyone became quiet. Out walked this eloquent young woman holding a mask. Her dark hair shimmered in the light and she took small elegant step to the center stage as she approached the mic. Her red dress flared at her legs and hugged her body showing that she was indeed a woman.

She removed her mask to reveal sparkling blue eyes that seemed all too familiar. I watched as she sang her song with her soothing voice, the way her face was so gentle. She resembled too much of her and my throat started throbbing for blood. My heart was racing for her and wanted her.

Reira wasn't Rima though; they aren't the same all I know is that they both sing. Why does my heart think they are the same then? Rima would probably be in her late 20s but this girl didn't seem a day over 16. She starts to sing and moving her hands in a sensual way. After one song she smiled at the crowd as she scanned the whole audience. I know I saw it but she had flinched for one second right after she saw me. I know she did but no one else would have caught it as she started to sing another song. After another one the crowd was shouting.

"Pick me Reira!"
"I will show you what a real man looks like!"
"Stop teasing I know you want me."

Similar taunts and calls continued as she smiled at them and just winked at them.
I wonder why she was picking people and thought to myself I better leave when I thought what it could possibly be. Looking at her anymore would have me thirsting to death as I got up from my seat.

"I pick you," she said pointing at the crowd and the stage light shined on me.

Crap I thought, I was trying to not to be picked too.

… I was led behind the stage into three halls. I followed behind as she walked ahead to the middle hall and opened a door.

She led me in and closed the door behind her and locked it. She flipped on the light and then pushed me away from her. I looked at her confused and then she proceeded to remove her hair. It was a wig; under that dark raven hair was her strawberry blonde hair.

"I never thought I would see you again Senri?" she said as her soft eyes became dangerous and hard.

"What are you doing here!?" I said shocked at what was going on. I mentally hit myself to how stupid I could be for not realizing who she was. Reira was her stage name when we were out in public a long time ago.

So many emotions flowed through me and I didn't know what to say. Here she was in front of me, the one that I have thought about every single day of my life and the one that stole my heart.

"Why do you care what I do? I am sure that you abandoned me 10 years ago," she said throwing her wig on a chair and combing her hair.

"What are you doing at a bar?" I asked frantically.

"Same question here? Are you that lonely without me," she laughed at me.

"You still haven't forgiven me," I sighed.

"What is there to forgive really, I already know that no one wants to be around me. So I am making people want me to be there even if it's only for one night," she said removing her jewelry.

"Why did you pick me?" I asked.

"Because I didn't feel like doing anything tonight now that I have seen you, you can leave now I have another show at 12. Seeing you made me angry and disgusted." She spat at me as she unlocked the door but didn't open it. She stood in front of the door smiling at me.

"Don't you want to leave?"

"Don't do this to yourself, how can you be such a..a-"

"A whore, slut, prostitute? Since when did you care about me and my life? I believe you left me to live life as I wanted." She said being sarcastic.

"That's not what I was going to say," I beamed at her.

"Then what?" she teased.

"Such a sad and lonely person," I said.

Her face became angry but then she sighed.

"Fine think of what you want of me", she opened the door and yelled into it, "Send in another one." A few seconds later walks in another soldier and he is smiling like a little kid.

"Well you can leave now; I get the feeling I won't be sad and lonely tonight," as she smiled back at him.

"I have been waiting a long time for my turn," he said wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Well you can go now?" Rima said as she looked at me with her devious expression.

RIMA POV

As expected from Senri he approached us and pushed the guy out and locked the door behind him

"You know you really hurt me when you left," I said trying to be serious.

"I know, I am sorry but I had-"

"I missed you a lot. Every day I tried to hate you but I ended up loving you even more," I confessed.

As expected he tried to comfort me and hug me, I gave him a hug back and started to cry. I wondered if these were true tears or fake ones. Was this the human side of me right now or my vampire side? I looked into his eyes and leaned in closer to kiss him. That was all it took for him to crack.

Senri leaned in and gently pushed me against the door and placed one hand on my face and the other one behind my waist. I proceeded to wrap both arms around him as he kissed me even harder. It has been so long since I have allowed anyone to be with me for this long. He picked me up and continued on the bed.

As much as I hated to admit I yearned for his body next to mine, my human side wanted more of him.

He pushed himself against me and kissed me passionately, he seem to also be desperate for my touch as his hands traveled all over me. I felt him kiss my neck and collarbone as it made me shiver.

I could see it in his eyes the blood lust; I decided to take my chance and asked him to stop.

"I am sorry," he said shaking his head and getting up.

"Wait," I said pushing him back down and started to kiss him again.

I stopped to see his blood lusted eyes, our faces were so close I could feel his hot breath breathing on mine. His hands slipped behind my back and forced himself on top. There he found what held my dress up and proceeded to remove it but then stopped and shook his head. He was resisting the urge to bite me at that moment.

I knew this was my chance to attack him but I couldn't pull myself to do it. This was what Rido was concerned about, whether or not I had the strength to attack him.

"Hey, what's wrong," I asked as I pulled him back and slowly unbuttoned his shirt and kissing him on the neck.

"What have you been doing these past ten years?" he said as he retracted from me.

This wasn't going according to plan.

In a desperate attempt I grabbed him and pull the material that held my dress on.

"When will you look at me as a woman and not some young child," I tempted him as I leaned in.

Both of our bare bodies next to each other, this was my chance. He was struggling to keep his blood lust from me. It was time he knew what I had been doing for the last ten years.

While his guard was down I bared my fangs and sank them into his neck. His immediate reaction was to push me off but he couldn't even move because of my powers.

After depleting just enough blood for him to live I sat up and retied my dress.

"What happened?" he said straining his voice.

I chuckled at him and licked my lips. His eyes were glaring red, he was well beyond thirsty.

My powers didn't last long as he grabbed my neck and forced me back down. It almost seemed like he wanted to kill me.

"Looks like my charm wore off," I chuckled.

"Who are you?" he growled as his hands tightened.

"Are you going to kill me," I asked placing my hands on his face.

"Don't make me repeat myself," he snarled tightening his grip.

"Don't you recognize me? I am Rima Touya," I smiled.

" It's impossible."

"If you were going to kill me anyway why not have some blood before I die. I can tell that you are famished," I called to him.

"You're not Rima, you are just in some disguise," he said vehemently.

"Really, you hurt my feelings for not congratulating me for tricking you so far," I laughed at his distraught state.

Senri couldn't take it anymore and sank his fangs into my delicate neck and began drinking it. He was desperate for it and making a mess as he wasted the blood that pouring out. But I could feel his tongue trying to clean the mess on my bare collarbone.

"Tell me that my blood satisfied your thirst for the first time in ten years," I demanded.

"No, it didn't. It tasted horrid."

"Then you must be lying because you have been punishing me for the last ten years. My thirst could never be quenched because of you. My master taught me that about you damn vampires. My master's blood has been partially satisfying. The fact that he is your father of course," I commented making him flinch.

I pushed him off and stood up in front of him.

"Go ahead and try to kill me with your blood whip. Kill me for working with Rido," I demanded.

He clinched his fists but didn't do anything to harm me.

"Well then I gave you a fair shot, the next time we meet one of us is going to die," I warned as I grabbed my wig.

"He is just using you, he will kill you!" Senri said angrily and grabbed me.

"I am aware of that, it doesn't matter to me if I am alive or not the next time we meet. If I die you will continue to suffer, if you die I will have no one to quench my thirst and wouldn't mind dying. All I want is revenge," I said as I headed to the door.

"Please remember next time we meet in battle, that I am not the Rima you knew. She died a long ten years ago when you abandoned her. She was the human side of me just let her go," as I bid him goodbye for the last time.

Shiki POV

I watched as her body disappeared into the night. I was shocked and paralyzed and unable to move. I watched her leave and there was nothing I could do about it.

She was a vampire; no matter how many times I played it in my head I didn't believe it.

That human I had loved was gone. How did Rido get her to work for him and how am I suppose to kill her the next time we meet?

Rima POV

"Someone seems angry," said Rido.
I walked into the room and tossed my wig and jacket onto the bed.

"It's nothing," I said as I combed my hair again.

"I can smell him, my dear son's scent," he chuckled.

"Like I said it's nothing," I smiled as I approached Rido.

"Doesn't matter to me, just see to it you are ready when the time comes that is if you still want revenge," he sneered.

"Of course I still want my revenge; we also need to move to another city. The men here are becoming boring," I said pulling out my hand mirror from the drawer.

"You truly are a beautiful creature, I can see why Senri-,"

"Don't mention his name to me. Any attachments and affections to him have been erased from my mind," I declared.

"For some reason I doubt it," he chuckled at me.

"He is my past," I stated

"I will leave you to your misery. You need to go ahead and leave this place anyway. It won't be long before Senri searches for you," Rido said as he disappeared into the shadows.

Shiki POV

I was back in my dorm room again and I laid on my bed, I looked at the necklace again as I dangled it in my face.

"You do still remember her and lover her," he said is such a joking matter.

"10 years, it's been that long. She should have had her own family and be living somewhere far away from all this vampire madness," I said gazing at the stone in the necklace.

"What are you talking about?" Takuma questioned as he dropped his manga books on his bed.

"It turns out that she's been working for his bastard of a father and our enemy," Ruka said crudely.

"Ruka," Kain hissed.

"She's working with our enemy. He is after our ruler Kaname Kuran," Ruka pointed the facts at me.

"Don't you think I know that? Why are you always on my case and stop dropping in my room when you feel like it, I hate that you are always condemning me and looking down on me. You know I am not responsible for my father's actions." I said trying to remind her we were on the same side, sort of.

"You need to accept she is just some human turned vampire slave to your father," She said trying to push my buttons.

I sat up immediately and gave her a fierce look and a burst of wind came at her cracking the door behind her.

"Ruka, stop it. You don't need to anger him," Kaname said in a calming voice yet his presence made it demanding.

"Kaname-sama I apologize but your cousin doesn't see what he is suppose to be fighting for," she said aggressively.

"Get this Ruka I am not pro-monarchy or pro-senate. I have my own agenda and would rather not be tied down by political factions and such. "

"You are just being selfish and inconsiderate," she grunted.

"Tell me Ruka have you been in love?" Kaname asked.

She was taken back from that question and began fidgeting and turning red.

"Oh I mean, no um..not really," she stuttered.

"Well, when you love someone it makes you different. You might become selfish and your judgment is clouded because you can only think of that person. When you love someone with all your heart you can't see their wrongs or flaws, only their beauty and perfectness. In your eyes they have done nothing wrong to the world, the world is the one that is wrong. When you feel like that only then could you realize how Senri and maybe even how I feel," he said sighing as he exited the room but the paused.

"Of course you also need to consider the consequences of your actions and be willing to pay the ultimate price of her happiness," he parted with the last bit of advice."

After Kaname exited so did Ruka and Kain, I placed the necklace next to my heart and tried to think of my next plan.

"I still can't believe that she is a vampire," Takuma said grimly.

"The next time we meet her I am not sure if I can face her," I sighed.

"It's not your fault you know," Takuma said as he looked outside the window.

"I still want to believe she is human but she would have been if I had-"

"But she's not, stop lying to yourself and think of what you can do to save her," Takuma suggested.

Sorry I am not that great in love scenes, in fact I am a little embarrassed to write about it. I am not into writing in detail their scene in bed. It's a little weird and I have already read some and they make me not want to write like that. Sorry I can't get into the whole lemon thing. Someone out there want to explain to me why it is called a lemon when they have super intimate scenes. I never really got that. Anyway that's just not my style but I can make heart- felt scenes though

Author's note

Ok so I have been receiving a lot of comments about Rima as a vampire. Well you all just found out she is a vampire and obviously Rido turned her into one not Senri. Just to clear everything up I am not basing my plot line to the original plot line, this story almost seems to be right where Kaname wakes up his little sister (not going to spoil it). Well it is but I am not making Rima into a noble vampire like she is in the original plot and they are not models or super geniuses. This story will not tell much about Kaname and little sister drama either because this is based on Rima and Senri's own problems. If you want to know more about them go read fanfictions dedicated to this pair and please don't bash on me for this. I want to write the story this way, you can go read another story if you don't like how I set it up. Thank you and I hope I did not offend anyone.

YOUR OPINION MATTERS

Ok so we have found out that she is a vampire right? Well as I was re-re-re-reading this story I figured the story could go two ways…I could have her born as vampire or as human. In my personal opinion I want to know what the readers would like I honestly don't know which one I want to do. Originally I had her born as vampire but then it seemed like the typical vampire knight story, but then having her born as human I have to go back and edit some parts and such so that other readers wouldn't get confused. I am at a roadblock here. What do you all think? It should be my own way but both seem so good though, or should I have two different versions of a chapter for the future chapters? It seems like a lot of work but I am willing to work for it! Tell me what you think because the sooner you tell me the sooner I can update and write more chapters! Thank you very much!!!
