The video was released the day after kiku returned to school. She was walking down the hallway, when she noticed a group of vampires, fanged, looking pointing at her laughing. She shook her head, sighing, "Jerks…" She whispered.

She was heading toward the library, Hana and ai were meeting her there like usual. Coming around the corner, she nearly ran over hitomi.

"What the…" They nearly missed each other, "dammit…" Hitomi's face tensed as her phone hit the ground. She quickly picked it up, reaching over grabbing Kiku's hand.

"What is it…?" She furrowed her brow, stiffening her arm.

"To the library… Now…" Hitomi started moving quickly.

"Why…"

Kiku's eyes narrowed as two male fanged vampires made a beeline towards her; she could see trouble in their faces. They smirked, glaring at her moving quickly towards her.

"Back off…" Hitomi turned quickly, slamming her fist into the face of the first. His face contorted, blood and saliva filled the air, his body spun hitting the wall, and bouncing back she drove her knee into his groin.

"The library… Now…" Hitomi nodded, spinning around twisting the arm of the second, "crack…" Went his elbow… Crunch went his thigh bone as she slammed her heel into his leg.

Kiku rounded the corner, makoto smiled. Her arms hanging to her sides, a katana in each hand. She waited for hitomi, who laughed rounding the corner. Makoto shook her head, "you've got blood on your face…" She reached up wiping it off with her thumb.

"Four…" She chuckled, "like four could take me..." Mikoto sighed, shaking her head, "you have all the fun…"

Hitomi laughed kissing her quickly on the lips, motioning with her head towards the library.

Adelina was waiting at the door, Hana and ai looking worried, watched as she ran towards them, not knowing why. She pointed to Kiku's right, behind her three more vampires moved towards her, "what the…" She stopped, turning towards them.

"Kiku… No…" Adelina yelled, motioning for her to come to the library, "now…"

"But…"

"Kiku… Please…" She could hear Hana, her face filled with fear.

"Dammit…"

"Mine!" Mikoto yelled she slammed shoulder first into the three, their bodies tumbling, rolling, and hitting the concrete wall. Her arms wide, katanas gliding across the floor. One growled leaping up heading towards her, she chuckled and upward thrust too quick to see. The blade separated his head from his neck. His body quivered falling to the ground, exploding into dust.

Makoto narrowed her eyes as the other two still on the floor looked up as their friend turned to dust. The fight alarms never sounded as Adelina stood by it, smiling as her girls enjoy themselves.

Makoto quickly leaped landing next to them, she reached out grabbing the first of two, sliding them across the floor, "hitomi…" She laughed.

She snatched him, quickly lifting him up, driving her finger nails into his belly slicing him open to his sternum. She laughed, eyes glowing in a death's stare. She reached inside him as his face grimaced, grabbing, and pulling his heart out. The fine red mist filled the air as hitomi took a deep breath as the shower fell around her to the floor. Makoto had grabbed the last one by the neck holding him high off the floor, like a marionette with no strings. She squeezed, he tried to scream but his throat cracked, the sound of flesh tearing, and bone crushing as his head cocked then fell to the floor. A grotesque painting of blood and flesh on the wall. It ran down to the floor as his body evaporated to dust.

"Come… My girls…" Adelina waved, they turned rushing into the library.

They moved quickly to the back of the library to the cubicles. Hana and ai following kiku unsure why or what had just happened.

"Not bad for a couple of alphas…" Makoto smiled, patting hitomi on the butt.

Adelina slammed the door behind them.

"Show her…" She pointed to hitomi. She and Makoto were quickly undressing, stripped naked. They washed the blood from the flawless skin, releasing a satisfied sigh.

Hitomi leaned over as makoto wiped the blood off her back, opening the laptop.

A few quick hand movements and the video with sound played.

It was a video of her torture and rape being played over the bund Internet. They sat watching as kiku stared, listening to the voices and the screams being played. The Wolves rapeing her repeatedly, then Yuki lighting the blowtorch, the screams as she lay unconscious hung from the wall.

They could see her eyes brimming, her body shaking. it was one thing to have experienced it another for all to see it. Hana and ai quickly hugged her wrapping their arms around her waist. The tears falling as kiku shook her head.

"Enough…" Adelina slammed the laptop closed, "kiku…"

She didn't answer, staring at the close laptop on the table.

"I would love to tell you that it is going to be all right… These kinds of thing words are never enough…" Adelina shook her head closing her eyes.

"They just started broadcasting it…" Adelina sat down at the table. There was a knock at the door. Nita opened it, carrying a clean set of clothing for Makoto and hitomi.

She looked at kiku, her eyes glistening. She could see she wanted to say something but did know what to say.

"Gram…" She paused, looking at Adelina and then to kiku, "Gram said it's all over the bund… That Yuki's narrating it…" She sighed looking away embarrassed, "I'm sorry…" She whispered.

Kiku sighed, biting her lip. She understood why they had her run to the library. Any low-level vampire would now consider her weak, easy prey.

"They are not showing the rescue…" Hitomi was watching, listen to it through her earplugs.

"We know Ronan sent people in…" Adelina closed her eye shaking her head, "but everyone else…" She took a deep breath than exhaled.

"Where is Ronan…?" Nita's voice cracked, looking at everyone.

Kiku didn't answer, shaking her head, breathing heavy as her tears silently falling to the table.

"He had to go home to the village…" Hana spoke still holding kiku, "down south… Some… Something important…"

"Is ryou and megumi…still"

"Yes…" Hana nodded, "for the measurement party…"

Kiku closed her eyes, "I… I… Um…" She struggled to speak, looking around; she was worried to the point of being scared. Something she had not felt in a very long time. She inhaled, standing straight; her hand on Hana's head when the phone rang and there was a knock at the door. It was Adriene, Nita's gram.

"Adelina…"

"Yes…"

"Beowulf's is here looking for kiku…"

Adelina nodded, "okay…" She got up, moving to the door, sighing, "I will stall…"

She paused, pointing to hitomi and Makoto, "get rid of those clothes…"

"Kiku…" Adrienne spoke, looking at kiku with anger in her eyes, "we will catch the bitch and gut her..." She nodded her head leaving with Adelina out the door. Kiku hesitated answering the phone. She bit her lip slowly bringing the phone to her ear, "megumi…"

"Kiku…" Megumi's voice was slow, clear, and precise. She could tell they had seen the video.

"I don't know what to say right now…" She paused,

"Okay…" Kiku listened.

"But… Come home… Now…" Megumi exhaled taking a deep breath, "since she failed the kill you… She will now use you to undermine Ronan…" Kiku could tell that megumi was coming very angry and upset, "Doshi and Adelina know the truth…" She paused for a moment then continued, "They will assist you in any means possible… And I mean any…" Megumi sighed, "It will be all right, we will figure it out…"

"Bye... Megumi…" Kiku slowly brought the phone down, biting her lip closing her eyes. She knew how dangerous it was now. The hierarchy was in flux, the war had elevated her position now it was in doubt. She could see Beowulf coming through the computer lab.

"What's going on…?" Hana's voice shook, looking up at kiku.

"I don't…"

The door open, it was Camille and Hyunte.

"Kiku…" He smiled, "hi Hana… Ai…"

"Hello…"

"Could you come with us…?" Camille nodded.

"Why…" Hana wiped the tears from away from her eyes.

"The Princess wants us to escort you home…"

"We're sorry… Kiku…" Hyunte spoke with a sad smile on his lips, "we will get her…" He nodded his head.

Kiku nodded, she bit her lips, eyes filling with tears as her voice cracked.

"We will give you all the time you need…"

They stepped outside the door closing it standing in front.
