Chapter 21

Your Heart ..

Kaori's POV

.

.

Why did we agree to this? Oh, yeah because Sotoba Star High has sucky buses that go out and hit people, forcing her best friends to ask some blood lusting vampire to turn her into a blood lusting vampire herself in order to save her life.

I had never seen a vampire turning and I did not know what to expect, but this was Megumi. The girl that was like a sister to me, so it was like a dragger to my heart when Tatsumi leaned down and bit Megumi.

I winced, but knew I could not look away. A fact of the world I had been thrown into the second I first laid eyes on Natsuno, hit me, the world was vampires was not a pretty one. Thanks a lot Bella for filling my head with fantasies! Well, at least she got a happy ending…

And you're not? My inner voice asked. Megumi's gonna be safe, and…You got your Edward! My inner voice sang the last part. Had Tatsumi not been drinking Megumi's blood I would have blushed.

'I…do not!'

Sure, sure. Well, since I don't have to watch what comes next, I'll go. And with that my inner voice was gone.

Great…I'm totally alone and I'm talking to myself. I thought.

"You might want to look away for this next part," Natsuno whispered in my ear. Before I could ask why, Tatsumi took his fangs from Megumi's neck. He was breathing hard, as if sucking Megumi's blood this time was effort. I also saw his eyes were the same bloody red colour that Natsuno had yesterday. I shuddered, and fear ran through me. I just did what Natsuno told me not to do! Crap…

"Don't worry, it's okay." Natsuno whispered. "But, really, you should look away."

"If you say not to, then I will," I hissed rebelliously.

"Suit yourself," He said. Soon I learned, I wished I had not seen what happened next. In a fast movement—that I was sure was humanly impossible to be that fast!—and bite Tatsumi's neck.

I thought I was going to barf. Light headed, I started to fall backwards. Natsuno grabbed my shoulders and spun me away from the scene.

"What the Hell…" I grasped, falling against Natsuno. "Was that?"

"Blood exchange." He said simply. "The only way to turn a human is for the vampire to drink his or hers blood, and for him or her to drink an equal amour or more back any less would drive him or her to insanity—which for a vampire is a bad thing."

"Oh my…" I felt my face go green. "Eww. Remind me not to let you turn into a vampire."

"Who ever said I would?" Natsuno raised an eyebrow. I really wanted to get some place where I could not hear the sound of Megumi…drinking Tatsumi's blood. Since I could not just leave, I did the next best thing. Buried my face in to Natsuno's chest as far as I could, and covered my ears with the palms of my hands. Somehow the noise of…you know…was blocked out and replaced by a new one.

Third POV:

Natsuno blinked as Kaori borrowed her head in to his chest and cover her ears. Then he realized what she was doing, blocking out the noise—A noise that honestly made him fight off the hunger that was scratching his stomach, and the flames dancing in his throat. Kaori glanced up at him, her blue eyes puzzled.

"You…" She pressed her self back in to his chest and muttered something inaudible. But, with his super hearing, heard clearly. "You're heart…beats…" He could hear the blood rush to her face like a river. "I thought vampires were undead."

"Don't believe everything you read," He murmured. "Vampires' blood just pauses the aging process and improves most every sense—but doesn't not kill us." Even if we should be dead anyway. . . He added to himself.

Well, if Edward had not lived past his death he wouldn't have met Bella, would he? Natsuno's inner voice said. And you would have never met your Bella.

Natsuno did not answer. He truly knew better after 500 plus years not to answer his inner voice.

"I just thought…" Kaori trailed off. "That it would be…still or something."

"You think? Amazing," Natsuno smirked.

"Shut up and tell me when it's over…" Kaori muttered—her face green from the thought once again of what was happening with her friend.

He looked at Tatsumi, keeping his eyes from the blood. Vampire or no, he had not fed in a while—which was why it was so easy from him to show Kaori what a vampires red eyes look like yesterday—so the heavy scent of blood in the air did not help. Tatsumi met his gaze with a pained scarlet eyed look. Natsuno sent him a sympathetic smile. He knew it took a toll on a vampire to turn a human—he remember turning a human a few years before meeting Tatsumi for the fist time.

'It's probably be over soon…or you'll die' He mouthed, and Tatsumi smiled, then scowled as Natsuno added the last part with a smirk.

Just then, Megumi stopped drinking Tatsumi's blood and lean against him, eyes shut, and breathing deeply.

Megumi's eyes flutter open, and she whispered, "Thanks…don't ever bite me again."
