Chapter One

A groan escaped Ryo's cold lips, his head bobbed to and fro slightly showing his faint state. His body was cold and he felt almost drained, the strong hands holding him captive by his neck suddenly loosened his grip. Barely able to lift an eyelid Ryo's mouth was forced against what seemed to be a hand, a warm thick liquid pouring out. As if some kind of magnetic force drew him forwards, Ryo felt an unfamiliar hunger consume him. Hungrily he attacked the source, the substance running thickly down his parched throat.

Unbeknownst to him, a pair of sharp ivory fangs protruded where his canines should have been. Ryo's bloodied lips sealed them over the deep bleeding cut…

Lying limply on a hospital bed Ruki slept in the silence of the small room. Several tubes ran along her pale arms and a breathing mask was strapped securely onto her pallor face. A calm disturbed expression was washed over her almost elfin features, faint humming of machines reverberated soundly against the walls of the hospital room.

"How is she?!"

With a sigh the doctor answered while running a tired hand through his blonde hair. "We've managed to stop the blood flow and at the moment all she needs is rest. It's a good thing you've brought her in so quickly, any more loss of blood and she would have to be given a blood transfusion." (An: I know absolutely nothing of medical stuff sorry…)

Ruki's grandmother let go of her held back breath in relief. Her granddaughter was going to be alright. She wiped away the saltine tears streaming down her wrinkled cheeks. Seiko slumped into the chair beside Ruki's unconscious form after she walked in, resting her forehead against her granddaughter's tube hindered hand gently. Sniffling loudly she slowly closed her tired eyes as she decided to catch up on the many hours of missed sleep. It was morning now, the sun shining through the curtained windows of the hospital room but now Seiko Makino would rest. One thought past her blurring mind before she accepted the comfort of unconsciousness.

Where's my daughter at?…

Gorgeous silver gray eyes wandered out the window of his homeroom class, the voice of his teacher was becoming more faint as he drifted off to his own world.

I wonder where Ruki is? She's usually one of the first to get to class… "Jen! Jen!"

"Huh?" Jenrya snapped out of his reverie to find the annoyed face of his teacher.

The teacher sighed, "Well Mr. Lee, now that you are back to the real world I'd like you to recall the events in our week's novel, Beowulf to the class"

"Uh…right"

Aw man…
