I'm back and better then ever! Thanks for waiting, man I'm whiney when I'm sick. I notice this when I look back at that message I wrote! But please understand I have lots of things to do, like school, work and me time! But I promise not to make you wait to long for the next chapter! Everyone remember? Krista just made Quatre a half vampire, and someone is not going to be happy about it! Enjoy!

"Shhh..." Krista signed to Quatre as they sneaked inside the store. It was only a few hours since the incident had occurred, and they weren't quite ready to tell Mina or Duo yet. Quatre sighed in relief as he clicked on the lights, not noticing the figure leaning against the wall behind them. "Well, well, well..." Mina smirked as the two jumped back in fear. "MINA! When did you? I mean...How did you?..." Krista stuttered stepping in front of Quatre. Mina pushed herself from the wall and smiled, "Kinda late for just going on a walk, don't cha think?" Quatre gulped as well as Krista; sweat pouring down their face. "Uh...you see, well, that is..." Krista babbled trying to think of a good excuse. "There's no need to lie, I already know what you did." The smile from Mina's face suddenly vanished as her voice deepened. "Oh my God, she knows!" Quatre whispered to Krista trembling. Mina made her way towards them, her eyes never leaving the Detectives. "How could you even think of
doing...that!?" Now she was only an inch away from Krista's face. Krista tried to stop shaking, but she couldn't. Somehow Mina had figured out what she and Quatre did; so things didn't look good. Mina just glared at her, before forming a huge grin on her lips. "You whore!" Both Quatre and Krista fell to the floor with sweatdrops over their heads. "You haven't even gone out for a month yet and you're already screwing each other!" Krista finally pulled herself up, as a vein grew on her forehead. "EXCUSE ME?! I'm a whore?! I've been with one guy in my whole life and I'm a whore!? If anyone's a skank, it's you Miss 200 year old prostitute!" "WHAT!?" Mina screamed jumping at Krista's throat. The two tumbled to the ground, yanking at one another's hair. "Take that back you transvestite Geisha!" Mina cried putting Krista in a headlock. Krista grabbed Mina's arm and flipped her over, "You're such a whore, when the grocery boy asks paper or plastic? You just drop your pants!" Mina
leaped into the air and kicked Krista across the chest. "You're such a whore, you're just like a Circle K. Quickie in, Quickie out, and open 24-7!" Quatre watched as the two girls continued to beat each other up and throw insults. "Ladies, ladies please! You're wrecking my store!" Quatre pleaded hoping they listen. Duo suddenly walked in, "Good morning peoples! How is every...AHHHHHHH!" An axe came slamming into the wall, just missing his head. Mina ran to the display case and grabbed another one, "I won't miss this time!" Krista armed herself with a mace, and was swinging it towards her. "Bring it on hussy!" They charged for each other, but stopped as Quatre stepped between them. "ENOUGH ALL READY! I have had it, put the weapons back NOW!" Just like dogs, Mina and Krista whimpered and placed them back, as they held each other scared. Duo was shocked from Quatre's outburst, not once has ever seen him shout like that. Quatre cleared his throat and fixed his hair, "Sorry, I
didn't mean to yell." Mina realized what she was doing, and pushed herself away from Krista. "She started it!" Krista puffed her cheeks, "Excuse me?! You're the one who called me the whore, so you started it!" "I don't care who started it, just stop!" He snapped. Mina gazed at Quatre for a second, then did a double take. "Mina?" Duo spoke as he watched Mina storm towards Quatre. She stared directly into his eyes; his now light blue eyes. "You didn't." Mina said turning back and facing Krista, who just remembered why they were avoiding her in the first place. "Did what?" Duo asked confused. Mina snatched Krista's arm and flung her around so she faced Duo. "This fucking idiot made Quatre a vampire, that's what!" Duo glanced over at Quatre in denial, "Is this true?" Quatre lowered his head in shame, "I'm sorry, I was the one who made her. If there's anyone one to blame, then it's me, not her." "BULLSHIT!" Mina spat out. "You didn't put a fucking gun to her head, so she's much
to blame as you are!" And with that she threw Krista aside and slammed Quatre against the wall. Mina exposed her fangs as her violet eyes faded, "Do you like becoming a monster?! Do you like going day by day fighting back the urges to kill a human!? Do you fucking like it Quatre!? Huh, DO YOU!?" Quatre didn't answer her, and just turned away. "I'm outta here, you people make me sick. Wanting to become a vampire." Mina muttered as she walked out the door. Everyone stood there in silent, the only sound heard was the sound of a motorcycle screeching off. Krista rubbed her arm, and stepped towards Quatre. "She took that rather well, don't you think?" Quatre forced a smile, but couldn't help feeling ashamed for what he did.

Mina sped down the streets, ignoring everything around her. She stopped by the park and rested up against a tree. She gazed at the sun rising for the first time in years, "Beautiful, and I wasn't talking about the sunrise." Mina turned her head and came face to face with an upside down Duo, hanging on a tree branch. "What are ya, following me or something?" Mina mumbled as Duo flipped over onto the ground. "You seemed a little upset back there." Duo teased as he stood next to her. "No shit sherlock, damn straight I'm pissed off! How could he want to become a vampire? It's like asking someone to shoot you in the face! And what makes it worse is that idiot asks her to make him a half vamp! Blind leading the blind, HELLO! She hasn't been one for very long, plus she's not what we call a strong vampire! So why Duo? He's your best friend, yet I'm the one more pissed off!" Duo just chuckled, making Mina madder. "Yeah that was pretty dumb of him. But hey, that's his choice, not
mine." Mina crossed her arms in frustration, "So you're saying it's okay to make anyone a vampire now?" Duo laughed again, "No, not anyone. It's not like Quatre did it for an evil purpose, he did it so he could be with us. I'm not saying I agree with his choice of method, it's just there's nothing we can do now." Duo peered up at Mina who was pretending to yawn and look bored. "You sure talk a lot, like a pys..cho...cha..." "Psychiatrist?" "Whatever." They sat there, not saying a word to one another. Finally Mina spoke up, "I don't want to think about it anymore, so let's do something to get our minds off it!" Duo's cheeks turned bright red as she said that, "Do...something?" Mina grinned and came close to his face, "I have a wicked idea." Duo had steam coming from his ears as she came closer, "Let's do it." Duo gulped, "Do...it?" His eyes trailed down to her cleavage, which was also close to him. "Yes" She whispered, "Let's do it...Let's ice skate!" Duo suddenly broke into
millions of pieces, making Mina giggle. She dragged the boy down the hill and to the ice skating rink. When Duo came too, Mina had already rented out skates and was putting them on. "Mina, uh...I really don't know how to ice skate." Duo admitted feeling stupid. "It's nothing, it's like walking, with blades on your shoes. Now come on!" Mina snatched Duo's hands and dragged him onto the ice. Duo tried to keep his balance, but always fell on his ass. Mina came around and helped the bruised Duo to his feet, "Need some help?" Duo blushed and nodded, Mina smiled and placed her arms around his waist. "Now push your right foot forward, now your left." Duo did just that, but couldn't really concentrate with Mina holding him. Soon Duo could push off with out falling, "Hey I'm doing it! Mina look I'm doing it!" Mina gave Duo a thumbs up, but her expression quickly changed. "DUO LOOK OUT!" "What?" Duo was too busy looking back at Mina to watch the road in front of him, as he smacked
right into the wall. "BAM!" Mina shook her head and skated towards the unconscious Duo. "Idiot." She taunted. Duo pulled himself up and rubbed his swollen head, "I think I had enough beating for one day. Man I'm more bruised from skating then I am from vampire hunting!" They both started to laugh, making it hard for Mina to help Duo up. She lost her balance and fell on top of him, still laughing. Their eyes both met one another, and they instantly became silent. It felt like hours as they stared into each other's eyes. Duo felt himself pulling closer to her, as she did the same. A snowball suddenly smacked across Duo's head, and Mina instantly jumped up. She cleared her throat, "I'm gonna go and return the skates." Duo cursed under his breath wiping the snowball from his hair, "So close." He muttered looking around for the person responsible for hitting him. With no luck, he got up and dragged himself out of the rink. Up above, Heero wipes the ice from his hands and
disappears.
