Chapter 20

Previously:

I got up and changed for my next class and thought, 'I must do something in order to get out of this horrid mess. If my blood won't work because I still have human blood then maybe a pureblooded vampire's blood will.' I smiled, getting a great idea as I ran out the boys dorm to the next class thinking of how to put the plan in motion.

Light's POV

After putting my normal school uniform on I went to begin my Noble Etiquette class. I walked in and saw Setz. After signaling my servants to stand in the back with the other servants I walked over to Setz and told him to meet me by the *Sakura tree when the class was over. We sat down and waited for the teacher who walked in right after we sat down. He was a tall handsome ghost with aqua blue hair and red eyes. The moment I saw him I facepalmed my head to the table 'You've got to be kidding me. Hakadoshi? As if forcing me to drink his blood wasn't bad enough, he has to send clan members to spy on me!?'

Hakadoshi's POV

"Ok class, today we will be learning formal and informal speech and how to talk to different classes of individuals. Everyone get in a group of two; one person in each group will be the Superior, the other Inferior." When the students all got in groups I gave them each different conversations to say to each other. This when on for an hour. When the bell rang I felt a set of fiery eyes on me and turned around and saw Light with his two servants behind him. "Ah, Young Master Light. What can I do for you?"

Light's POV

Finally the bell rang. I told Setz to go ahead and wait for me at the Sakura tree as planned and I'd be there in a few minutes. Fully intended on confronting him, I walked over to Hakadoshi. After respectfully greeting me I finally snapped, the tribal marks appearing, "Don't give me that! Father sent you to spy on me didn't he? Hakadoshi, what does he want?"

Hakadoshi calmly responded, "Please calm down Young Master and remember that we're in school. Lord Tepes only wanted to make sure that you were fine." I knew it was a lie but I couldn't do anything about it now. After calming down slightly I stormed out the classroom and left to head out to the Sakura tree to meet Setz and put my plan into motion. I could sense multiple people watching me, maybe four or five. It was truly annoying.

I found Setz sitting by the Sakura tree and sat down next to him. I said, "Alright, listen. What I'm about to tell you might be hard to comprehend. You know I'm from the Resolute Clan right? And my father like yours is the clan leader. I don't know why but a year ago I did something reckless and as punishment, he locked me in a dark dungeon for a week and made me drink his blood. Ever since then, every week my throat gets hot and it seems only his blood can satisfy me. He said I have to drink his blood whenever he wants me to and I plan to put a stop to it. Please let me try to drink your blood to fill up a little so I don't have to drink his." Setz sat with a surprised expression on his face as I finish talking.

Setz's POV

I listened to Light's story, it surprised me. I never knew something like this could happen, the Resolute Clan was very secretive. Nothing was known about them except that their leader was one of the founders who helped create the world and guided the first generation vampires. His request was strange but it's not like I have anything to lose, except a few pints of blood that can be easily replenished. I sighed, "Alright we'll try it but not here. Let's go to the bathroom, after all this is all I can do for you in secret. We cannot interfere in other clan's matters even if we want to. C'mon."

I walked towards the bathroom with Light following closely behind me, oblivious to the fact that one of Light's father's werewolf spy was listening to the whole conversation and left to report the whole thing to his leader.

Light's POV

When we got into the bathroom I asked Setz to let me drink from his arm and told him it wouldn't hurt since we have small fangs as we're still kids and he agreed. When I tasted his blood, different emotions entered my head and I was relieved to find that his blood did not taste like mine and satisfied the thirst a bit. But I was also irritated because it did not taste like my father's which meant it would not completely take away the thirst for good. That also scared me because I knew I would have to drink his blood again, I was becoming more and more dependent on his blood. I would have to make sure to drink Setz's blood beforehand when I do.

Little did I know this idea would be the worst thing I ever thought of and when my father inevitably found out, my punishment would be worse than the previous one a year ago. When I was done I wiped my mouth and smiled, "I'm fine now. Thank you, I needed that. We should go to History class before we're late." We headed to our next class together.

Tepes POV

I was in the clan library reading when Shinoa, a female werewolf I sent to spy on Light, came in and respectfully bowed before me. I put down my book and gave her a look, acknowledging her. "Lord Tepes, I was watching Young Master like you asked and... well, he was talking to his new friend that he made named Setz and they were talking about you. They were also talking about drinking blood and he said if he could drink the boy's blood. I don't understa-" "ENOUGH! You're not supposed to understand Shinoa. Let the rest of the clan know, I'm going out for a bit to retrieve my son. He needs to be taught another lesson.

I saw her bow and I walked out the door and headed out of the mansion into an awaiting carriage and told the driver to head to Asxew, a plan formulating in my head.

Light POV

I was practically asleep the whole time during the last class, it was just to mind-numbingly boring. The last bell rang and I perked up and I thought finally time for dinner. I ran out and waited for Setz and Yuki who joined me and we entered the dinning the hall. As we were the heirs to the five noble clans, we sat down in a private section reserved just for us and were promptly waited on by servants. I sighed and ordered the special fish and chips. My friends followed and ordered the same with water. We ordered the basic mac and cheese for our servants who were able to sit at the far end of the table. We talked about the different classes as we waited for our food.

When the food came out we immediately started digging in. Everyone was engaged in a conversation as I told Yukie quietly about my father. He listened with a shocked look on his face and afterwards he said nothing. When we were done we headed to the boys dorm and we got cleaned up and ready for bed.

Little did Light know his father knew everthing that he did and was already on his way, preparing a punishment far more severe than forcing him to drink his blood..
