Author's Note- How'd ya'll feel after that last chapter's ending? I just re-read it, and where Kaoru said "You will not succumb. You will not succu- Screw it!" I cracked up... Makes me sound self-centered doesn't it? Oh well... Hope you like it!

Note- Tamaki is serious in this one, mostly.

Disclaimer- I own nothing but my OCs, and the plotline.

Chapter 20

Tamaki's POV

My lead councilman stalked towards us, watching all of us with guarded animalistic eyes. Shit. Shit.

His eyes flicked to Haruhi and Komatsu. The beast rumbled within me, and I could feel Mori's too. But we both knew that if we let our beasts out, our soulmates would be lost. So we reigned them in, turning our attention back to Zhao.

"You dilute our noble line... You two sicken me. As do those traitors over there," Zhao growled. Haruhi tensed, and I saw the shield rising around all of us as Komatsu's eyes glowed green.

"Haruhi. Komatsu. No," Mori growled. I could tell it was already painful for him to talk, because when a were shifts, it's a excrutiating process. We can't speak at all.

"You let those... Abominations protect you? Our great leaders. Suoh-sama. Morinozuka-sama. You befoul our clan," Abraham said. I turned my eyes to the other councilman, and I felt Hani's soul shift. He was losing control.

"Mitsukuni!" Asuka snarled. The entire clan turned their eyes onto the fuming shifter. They all instantly sniffed the air, figuring out she was a wolf shifter.

"Imposter," The clan chanted. Save the few who picked the new way of life. Who accepted what the others could not.

"BE SILENT!" A voice roared. And of course everyone was silent. I cast a silent look over my shoulder, and saw Geoffrey, along with Wind stalking forward. The werewolves knew better than to mess with these powerful vampires.

"Leave our coven members alone! We are of different species, but we know when to lose the old ways," Geoff growled. Zhao stalked forward, and shoved his face into Geoff's. They glared at each other until Wind placed a hand on Geoffrey's chest to pull him back. When she pulled her hand away he grabbed it in his, holding onto it tightly.

Zhao looked down at their hands, and I growled at the smirk spreading across his face.

"Suoh-sama! You should learn from the parasites. At least they know how to keep it within the breed," Zhao sneered. I heard the wind whistling as something launched itself at Colonel/Councilman Zhao.

I glanced behind me, and snarled. Haruhi!

Zhao gasped as she landed on him, and I whirled back around to see him holding my life by the throat.

"NO!" Every part of me screamed, and I lost control. My beast took over, and I leaped at Zhao. He dropped Haruhi in horror, but I still didn't stop. He would die for his crimes.

"TAMAKI!" Someone shrieked. My logical brain recognized the voice, but I didn't know who it was, because my beast was in complete control.

I landed on Zhao, my elongated fangs sinking into whatever part of him I could reach. That part just happened to be his jugular. I ripped it out of him, and I felt a couple of different weights land on my back.

I ignored them and ripped out Zhao's heart. I rose to my feet, blood dripping from my mouth. I looked over my shoulder to see Hikaru and Kaoru dangling from my shoulders.

"Filthy parasites. Remove yourselves!" I hissed. My logical brain winced, but the beast still controled me.

"B-Boss?" Hikaru's eyes were wide.

"I said remove yourselves! NOW!" My hands reached back, their deadly black claws latching onto the twins' hair. And I threw them away from me.

I heard slight whimpering behind me, and I turned to see an unfamiliar face. I sniffed the air, and I realized the small boy was a werewolf.

He walked forward, and the wee tyke pouted up at me.

"W-Why did you kill my daddy?" He asked, his voice filled with childish confusion. My body froze, and the logical part of me finally took control again.

I turned, and saw what I had done to my Colonel. He was bloody, and there was no way you could recognize him. Everyone stood behind him, though the actual clan was farther back.

Kobayashi and Miharu were supporting Hikaru and Kaoru, who were both looking at me with some unknown emotion. Mori and Komatsu stood right next to each other, and he had his arm wrapped around her. Hani and Asuka stood with Ayumu, Nekozawa, Zephira and Kyoya, all of them watching me with disapointment. Ryoma and Momo kneeled next Zhao, both of them whispering an old werewolf prayer.

But the face that scared me the most was my love's. Tears streaked down her beautiful face, as she watched me. She sat cross-legged next to Ryoma, and I noticed he reached over to pat her head.

"Tamaki-senpai?" She whimpered softly, as she held out her hand to me. I stretched my hand out to her, but before I could apologize for what I had done, something stabbed into my back.

I fell just as Mori launched himself at who ever had attacked me.

Tamaki-senpai! NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoooooooo! NOOOOOOOOO! Tamaki-senpai!

And then the world exploded in light.

WOO

Author's Note- Woah... That was totally unexpected... I really wasn't going to have Tamaki get attacked. I was going to have him be standing, covered in blood with the wind blowing around him. But then it just decided to have a mind of its own... And you'll find out what the 'light' was next chapter!
