I watched him prepare and let out a whimper. This wasn't what I wanted! I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me and here he was. This wasn't fair!

I closed my eyes and looked away as Takuma lunged after Kaname, sword raised.

I was listening to the sound of clashing blades and grunting vampires when suddenly I felt myself being untied from the bed. Snapping my head towards my left leg I saw Kiyo grinning at me.

"You're boyfriend's a pretty good fighter," she giggled.

"He's not my boyfriend," I snapped.

"Yet," she smirked, finishing releasing me.

The second I was free I flew at her, pinning her to the floor with a growl.

"I told you NOT to come here! I told you to just go home! Don't you ever listen you stupid wolf demon!" I screamed at her, inches from her face as I couldn't help but let out a few tears.

Standing, I slowly made my way over to the pair. Standing at Takuma's side, I glared down at Kaname.

"Your family shall perish. You shall no longer be under the protection of my kind. Do you know what that means? All your power is gone Kaname. This ends here, with you and I. The last of my kind and you. Takuma, please hand me your sword." My words dripped with malice as I reached towards Takuma's sword….
