Vampire Of Tokyo
Chapter 8

"Michiru...how are you feeling?" Haruka knelt down next to her, holding a glass of ice water in one hand, and two aspirin in the other. She set them down on the table next to her, lifted up a tired aqua head and sat under it. "Feeling better?" Haruka gently stroked her long aqua locks.

"Haruka, if I tell you something, do you promise not to get mad and want to kill me?" her tone was steady, almost as if she had been awake for a while. She felt her stomach chern as she heard Haruka let out a deep belly laugh.

"Of course, I'd never hurt you. What's got you so paranoid so suddenly." she slowly turned Michiru's face to look at hers. "Hun...why are you so pale?"

Slowly she sat up. "You say you won't hurt me...not even if I tell you I'm the vampire?" her eyes turned a crimson red, she was going to prove it, unlike in her dream where she was laughed at.

"Mi...?" Haruka backed herself to the corner of the sofa, stammering in shock, and utter fear of what she was seeing. "You...?"

"Yes Haruka, it's me that's been terrorizing Tokyo. That killed one of our best friends, just because of one little thing she said about our relationship." she forced her inner vampire back inside of her, she had proven enough. "Maybe I should be going." she picked up her wind-breaker and headed for the door, leaving Haruka alone, and shocked.

Michiru pulled her hood up, over her pale face after looking up at the night sky and getting a raindrop in her eye. She was thankful for the rain this time, now nobody she passed would know that she was crying. She couldn't face Haruka anymore. 'She'll kill me if I see her again. I planned to tell her someday, why does it hurt me so much inside?' she hugged herself as she walked through the now pouring rain toward her home.
