My Decision

I was standing in the middle of the hallway while Kasey was coming towards me. "What is it you want to talk about?"

"Well," she stood next to me, "I want to know what you think." I tilted my head in confusion.

"About what?" She looked up to me.

"About me…becoming a vampire." I was a little surprised to hear her ask me that.

"Oh… Well I don't really approve of it, but it's your decision. I can't stop you from doing it." I looked down at her to see something that almost made me jump. She had tears almost pouring out of her eyes. "W-wah! Wait, why are crying?"

"I just wanted to protect myself. I can't forget that time you saved me and you almost got k-killed." I patted her head.

"Don't worry. I've almost lost my life plenty of times." Then that made think. The time I saved Kasey. And the time I gave Eclipse his scar. It is true. I always almost end up being killed. I hugged her for that short moment. "I'm going to keep my promise." She looked up at me again.

"P-promise?"

"Promise to be there for you…no matter what." She let me go and smiled at me.

"Thank you. I guess I'd better get back to Angel-onee-chan and Star-onee-chan." I nodded. She walked away. Ha, I guess she really hasn't changed, that much.

"Sammy-kun!" I turned towards Negi.

"Yes, Negi-sensei?" He pointed at a now line at the haunted house. "Ever since you handed out flyers we're getting more people! Suge Sammy-kun!" I blushed a little and scratched the back of my head.

"It was n-nothing really." That's when I felt something on my shoulder. I jumped. "Ah!" There standing behind me was Mark. "M-Mark?" He smiled at me.

"Nice get up. You looked cute actually." I felt my blush darken. I shook my head rapidly.

"What's up?"

"Actually, we want to talk to you." He grabbed my hand and pulled me away. We? Who are we?

He kept pulling towards this café. There sitting down at a table was Viridiana, Yami, and Koyo. We walked over to that table. I sat in between Mark and Koyo. Koyo just kept staring at me.

"So, what's with the outfit?" I felt my blush coming back. Yami looked at me closer and so did Viridiana.

"Aw!" They both said in unison. I shook my head fast trying to get rid of my blush.

"Yes, I know what you all are going to say, but seriously why did you bring me here, Mark?" I turned towards him for an answer. He looked to the others.

"Well, Ko told us about the darkness and how you're seeing another you." I felt my heart ache for that moment. "Is that true?" I looked down, away from all their eyes.

"Y-yes, but I am fine now. Really." Mark lifted his arm up. He reached over for my necklace. "What are you doing?"

When he grabbed it something unexpected happened. My necklace got this dark orb around it and Mark's hand. It was black on the outside and red in the inside. My eyes got wide from the sudden shock. Mark then back away from it. The darkness stayed, but eventually faded.

"See," he said, "The darkness has grown since the last time I checked." I looked at him.

"The last time you checked?" He bit his lip. He slowly turned towards me with a guilty look on his face.

"Haha, well you see…I checked that time when I saved you from that rich girl. Um, Emily?" I nodded indicating that he was right. "I had a feeling that something might go wrong, so I checked."

"Wait," I spoke up, "Why are you all so worried about me? Shouldn't you all be happy that the darkness is winning?" Yami looked at me.

"Of course we're worried! We'd only be happy if we were under his control again." Right, Yami said before that Eclipse would make them do everything he says when they're fighting. Like puppets, that's how Yami described it.

"So, Sam, have you thought about what I told you?" I looked towards Koyo.

"What about?" He sighed.

"About accepting it."

"Oh! Um…well…" I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to lie that I didn't think about it. I've only thought about it that time he told me and right now. It's just that, I don't think… "I can go through with it…" They all stared at me once again.

"If all three of us," said Koyo, "Can make it through that, then I'm pretty sure you can. Not to mention you have the great Evangeline to help you get through it. There's also Negi! He's been the whole darkness thing." Viridiana then got up and stood behind me.

"I'll also be there. We still haven't finished your training!" She patted my head. That's true. I have all these people willing to be there for me. Wait, Master! Her fight! Oh no, Shadow and Eclipse's fight too! I completely forgot! I immediately got up.

"Eclipse and Shadow's fight…who won?" They all seemed shocked. I looked at Viridiana since she was right next to me. "Well?" She looked at me with sad eyes.

"Eclipse did. Shadow lost painfully." I felt my eyes get a little watery.

"What happened?" Mark got up as well.

"He did the same thing I did to Ben, but worse. Since Shadow has had darkness in him Eclipse made the darkness swell so much that it…might have injured some of his bones. I believe it was mostly his ribs, might have sprained his hand, and his heart." I clinched my fists.

"Is he alright?" Mark looked away.

"I asked Eclipse after he stepped off the arena and he said, 'I was holding back. He will not die. I was just trying to show him that the darkness within him will never leave,' so he's alive." I grabbed his shoulder.

"What about Eclipse? Did he get hurt at all?" Then Yami was the one to get up. She had her head down with her fists closed on the table.

"There was a deep wound in his leg where Shadow clawed him, but he healed. There were scratches and bruises, but that also healed. I sometimes believe that he really is immortal." Yami, she really does hate him.

"Don't worry. I was the one who gave him that scar. If I could do that then I'm pretty sure I can at least ruff him up a little." Yami gave me a small smile. I took out my phone to see the time. "Wah! Master's fight!" I started running towards the arena, until I heard footsteps at my side. I looked to see Mark and Koyo there. "What are you guys doing?"

"We wanted to see Evangeline in her fighting state." Koyo then turned to me to say something as well.

"Yeah, maybe I can get to know her after too." I looked at him confused. Get to know her? Wait is he interested in Master? Huh, didn't see that coming.

We later arrived to see I didn't think to see so soon. I was already at the railing with Mark and Koyo standing next to me. I was awe to see Kay flying across the arena only to fall off and pass out from the massive hit to the head. I looked up from him to see her just standing there with her arms closed. Evangeline…she seems…annoyed?

Her facial expression did seem like she was bored. When Kazumi was done with the countdown Evangeline walked off to the locker rooms. Scott came out to help Kay to the infirmary. I looked to see the guys shocked.

"Hahaha, your faces!" They both turned.

"How's our faces funny," asked Mark. I rubbed away the tears from the laughter.

"Cause, you haven't seen anything yet!" Their eyes got even bigger which made me laugh even more. That was until Karma stepped up once again.

"It's Sammy!" I stopped laughing and turned around to see a bunch of girls. I think there were some from when I let some take pictures with me. The one that screamed had blonde hair and was wearing a shirt that had something very disturbing on it.

It says ' The Sammy Rose Club'? Oh. My. God. Don't tell me they're fan girls? The shirt said that and also had a picture of me with my ears and tail while wearing my uniform. I'm officially scared now. "Can I help you girls?"

The one with the blonde hair spoke up again, "Well, we're trying to join a club that's well about you. We're here to do our initiations." I felt shiver go down my spine.

"What would that be," asked Koyo. I turned to him and shook my head. Why would you even ask?

"It's between getting an article of clothing from her or getting a kiss with a picture for proof." She said that with a really innocent looking smile on her face. I slowly got behind the guys. I don't like the way she said that. "Now, mind coming here Sammy?" All the girls gave a look that had something I never seen in the eyes of a girl, well maybe noticed, but it was lust.

So, I did the only thing I could do at that moment. Run. I flew pass the guys and the mob of fan girls and their lustful looks. I could hear their footsteps behind me as I ran away.

Why me? Why do these things only happen to me? I turned at a corner to and stayed there waiting. The girls kept running in the direction I was originally going.

I sighed with relief. "Nice job." I quickly turned around startled to see Koyo standing there. He had a relaxing smile on his face. He slowly walked up to me. "You managed to get away." I nodded.

"Yeah, thank Kami I did." I lay on the wall. Koyo then got right in front of me. He put his hands on the wall by both sides of my head.

"I want to know." I gave him a confused look. Does he mean about me accepting it?

"I don't really know if I should." He leaned in a little closer.

"What if I were there for you. Making sure that nothing would go wrong?" My heart kept pounding hard against my chest. I wouldn't mind that. Thing is, I feel different when I'm with Ko. I feel like I can…rely on him.

"Really?" I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Really."I tightened my grip a little more. I looked at him straight in the eyes. I was surprised to see that he didn't turn away.

"Thank you, Ko. I appreciate…it…" My words slowly faded, as our faces got closer. I could feel his warm breath hit my skin. He stopped an inch away from my lips.

"I promise. To be there…for you." I placed my forehead to his.

"You won't die on me either?" I saw him get a small smile on his face.

"Of course not," he whispered. That's when it happened. Our lips meeting together, I held on tighter to him while he held me by my waist. For some reason, my heart was pounding harder then it ever did around him.

Will Sammy be able to be there for Kasey when the time comes? Will Eclipse's gang and Viridiana be able to help Sam? Is Eclipse really immortal? Since when was there a Sammy Rose Club and who's controlling it? Wait, did Sammy and Koyo just kiss? You'll have to wait and see in the next chapter of the Wolf and the Crow!
