Yori and Yuki were just sitting on a bench in the park. They were sitting in the shade as they watched little kids play on the jungle gym, swings, teeter-totters. Yori turned her head to smile at Yuki.

"Don't you wish at times that we were still that young?" She asked Yuki with a soft smile, looking back at the cheerful, happy kids. Yuki returned Yori's smile as she nodded

"Yes, though we all have to group up sometimes. Still, it'd be nice to be little again; little kids get off easy for when they do bad things." Yuki responded with a small pout. Yori continued to smile as she guessed that Kaname punished her for sneaking out of the Moon Dorms. Yori giggled slightly.

"Sorry I got you into trouble the other day, Yuki." Yori apologized, talking about when she brought up her sneaking out of the Moon Dorms when Kaname was standing right behind the girl. Yuki smiled brightly at Yori.

"Don't be silly, Yori. Don't apologize for something that isn't your fault. I should have known Kaname onnisan would hear me." Yuki said, waving her hand to wave off the subject. Yori smiled softly at Yuki.

"Still, I shouldn't have asked, but I'm glade you aren't in trouble; you aren't in any trouble, are you?" Yori asked, thinking the other girl might be. Yuki hung her head a little and pouted. The girl's long, pony tailed hair flopped to the front of Yuki's face as she did so, making the girl look a little silly.

"Well Kaname is making the others keep a better eye on me. If they see me sneaking outside again, they have to report it to my brother." She said, raising her head to smile sheepishly at Yori. Her hair flopped back behind her when she brought her head back up. Yori gave her friend an sorry smile.

"Sorry about that, Yuki. Though I'm guessing you'll find out a way to get past everyone." Yori said with a small laugh. Yuki smiled and laughed with her, so much that some of the little kids in the park looked over to them. The girls stopped their laughing and blushed in embarrassment for drawing attention to themselves.

"Well, maybe we should head back to the school now." Yuki said as she stood up, stretching her arms up into the air. Yori sighed slightly, nodding, and stood up with her friend.

"Sure. This was a fun day. I'm glade we got to spend the day together." Yori said happily, giving her friend a tight hug. Before she could pull away, Yuki hugged back just as tight.

"Yes, I hope we can hang out soon again." The vampire girl agreed, letting go of Yori with a grin. Yori laughed softly as she followed her friend out of the park and the two were walking down the streets that lead back to Cross Academy.

As the two walked back, Yori got a slightly creepy feeling of being watched and followed. Yet, when Yori looked behind her, she saw no one there. Ether the person hid so she wouldn't see him, or Yori was just being paranoid.

"Yuki, do you have the feeling that we're being watched and followed?" She asked in a whisper incase they really were being followed. Yuki looked at Yori thoughtfully before nodded.

"Now that you mention it, yes I can." She whispered back before looking behind her. Yori looked also to once again see nothing. This seemed to really annoy Yuki since the girl glared and stopped walking.

"OK, who ever is following us, show yourself now!" Yuki yelled, startling Yori a little. She had seen Yuki get annoyed a few times before but this had to be the first time she saw the girl yell. Though, a moment later, a smirking man came out of the shadows. His eyes were a shinning ruby red.

"As you with, Princess Yuki." The man seemed to mock as he bowed slightly. The man seemed to have a high pitched voice and Yori could sense he was another vampire. The funny thing was she could since he was a vampire like she sensed with Zero, only she felt a whole lot more scared of this one.

Yuki looked even more pissed off as the man started to laugh insane like. The vampire girl seemed to curse as she glanced between the vampire and her friend. She knew this vampire was hungry so she had to protect Yori. Meanwhile Yori was looking at Yuki in confusion.

'Princess? What does he mean by that?' She thought as she looked at her best friend. Yuki was seemingly getting on rubber gloves before reaching for a silver rod that was strapped to her side.

"Get back!!!" The girl shouted, fling the rod in front of her, making lengthen in size as she placed the rod in front of her. The man tisked as he stepped forward.

"Sorry, malady, but I already have a master. Seeming as he is older then you, his power is stronger. So your order means nothing to me." The man said before turning his smirking gaze at Yori.

Yori shuttered slightly as she took a few steps back. Now she knew that this vampire was actually different than the kind Zero was. The same but at the same time different. He was probably human at one time like she had been but this vampire seemed to he nothing but evil.

"Well, don't you just look delicious." He stated, licking his lips before laughing insanely again. The vampire then got on all fours before jumping at her. Yori screamed in surprise, taking a few hurriedly step backwards. Though the silver rode Yuki was holding flung in front of Yori and hit the vampire in it's stomach.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH YORI-CHAN!!!" The young vampire seemed to scream in anger. As Yori looked at Yuki in shock, since she never saw her friend this angry before and it as hard to believe since Yuki was normally so nice, the vampire man flew back into a building, grunting as he impacted with it.

"YOU WITCH!!!!!" The man screeched angrily, baring his fangs. Yori looked at Yuki to see that she to was baring her own fangs.

"You got guts attacking me and my friend. I normally pity you once human vampires. It wasn't your fault after all. Although I will not allow you to continue hurting people that is precious to me." Yuki snarled, her brown-red eyes turning the same color as the X-humans. The man glared at Yuki and hissed.

Yori was scared but Yuki held her rode in front of her body, the vampire man eyeing it as if he feared it a little. Yori looked at Yuki to see her friend closing her eyes. Suddenly the ground shook a little and pieces of dirt rock rose from the ground before flying to the vampire man. He seemed to try to dodge the attacks but one rock went through his chest, killing him.

Yori was a little surprised when his body turned to a sandy dust. That was one of the things that didn't really make sense unless the vampire was over one hundred years old in human years. That way, when the vampire dies, their body zooms to the age it would be when human and turn to dust from being so old.

'While maybe this vampire really is that old then.' Yori thought to herself, still shaking from shock slightly, as she looked over to Yuki. The other girl finally looked like she was calmed down as she looked at Yori with a sad smile.

"I'm sorry Yori-Chan, I really am. You see, that man that turned to dust? He was a vampire and I'm no different. I'm the same as him; I'm vampire too." She said saidly, regretfully as she hung her head.

Yori could almost feel her heart break. She felt so sorry for Yuki and she felt sad that Yuki was scared. The girl knew her friend was also probably scared she didn't like her anymore. So Yori surprised Yuki with a tight hug.

"Yuki, you baka. I wouldn't care if you were a green, three eyed alien. You are still my best friend and that's how it is going to stay." She scolded gently. Yori didn't want her friend to be hurt and scared because of her. Yori heard Yuki sniffle as arms hugged back.

"Yori-Chan; thank you." Yuki said, burring her face into Yori's shoulder. Yori thought she felt herself get a little wet, though she didn't complain you push her friend away. She kept hugging Yuki, knowing her friend was sad and needed to be comforted.

As she hugged her friend, Yori frowned. Yuki had told her the truth about herself. Even if it was the fault an another attacking vampire; which Yori know knew really was a once had been human, thanks to Yuki calling him an X-human.

What Yori was really upset about was the fact that Yuki still told her the truth when she couldn't do the same. She wanted to tell Yuki more then anything about her supposed uncle attacking her but something stopped her. It was really unfair and made her want to cry along with Yuki.

Speaking of Yuki, the girl stopped crying and pulled away from Yori, smiling sadly while her face was wet with her tears.

"Come on, let's go back to school. I guess I have some explaining to do." Yuki said and Yori smiled softly at Yuki, nodding.

'Yes, I wish I could explain things as well.' Yori thought to herself as she and Yuki walked back to the school together.

Quick question; Should I stick with P.O.V's when I do different people's thoughts or is that a little confusing. Pleae tell me what you think
