Chapter 2: Day Shift

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                Yuki hissed with venom behind his voice as his curtains were pulled wide open, letting the morning sun into his room.

                "Sorry Yuki, but I was ordered to come wake you up. Just be glad I didn't let Aya come to wake you up," said Shigure before he walked out of the room. Yuki slowly got up and got dressed. Before stepping outside he paused to put on a pair of sunglasses.

                "Yuki, what took you so long!?" snapped the orange haired boy as Yuki came walking up to him.

                "Shut up! Your kind is only supposed to speak when spoken to."

                "You ca—"

SMACK!

The boy took a step back as he brought his hand up to his, now red, cheek.

                "Kyo. That was your only warning. Next time I won't be so kind." Yuki said coldly as he walked past the boy.

                Kyo glared at Yuki's back as he began to follow him,

                "It wasn't my choice to come here! I didn't ask to become part of this cursed family! I didn't ask to become a vampire! I didn't ask to be cursed by a vengeful spirit! …I didn't ask to be a slave either."

Kyo ran into Yuki's back when he suddenly stopped.

                "Look. There she is…That's our target."

Kyo looked in the direction that Yuki was pointing to see a brown haired girl that was in her teens talking to a blonde yankee and a creepy black haired girl. The brown haired girl was walking in between the other two girls as they talked.

Kyo opened his mouth, shut it, and then raised his hand.

                "Yes?" said Yuki, turning back towards Kyo.

                "What's so special about her? Why is she our target?"

                "The only ones who will really miss her are those two walking beside her…and she should also have some good blood." 'That and it's Akito's orders…for some reason…'

                "She doesn't look too bright eith—" he put his hand over his mouth and Yuki glared at him.

                "If it's about the target, I'll let it slide. Let's go."

Kyo followed Yuki as they followed the three girls while staying on the opposite side of the street.

                "Do you really think so?" said the brown haired girl.

                "Of course! Tohru, you work and worry too much…you need to take a vacation or something."

                "Maybe…but Uo, what could I do?"

                That's a good question…" said Uo as she ran her hand through her blonde hair.

The black haired girl suddenly stopped walking but said nothing. Tohru turned around towards her and asked,

                "Hana? What's wrong?"

                "Someone's been following us…" she replied as she turned and looked at two boys in black across the street. One had on sunglasses while the other did not. Uo took a step forward and motioned with her head for them to follow her.

                "Oi! What's the big idea, following us around!?" she yelled, looking at Kyo.

                "Excuse me, but I believe this is a public sidewalk, is it not?" said Yuki, trying to sound as polite as possible while hiding his irritation at having to put on an act.

                "You two were clearly following us. You've been doing so for the past ten minutes ever since you came out from that street five blocks down." Said Hana, she seemed to be emitting sparks every now and then as she stared at the two boys.

                "What are you, some kind of psychic?" scoffed Kyo but he shrank back when he received a glare from Yuki as well as a disturbing stare from Hana.

                "Umm….Stop this, please!" Tohru meekly said as she came between her friends and the boys. The two boys jumped back a little when she did this.

"Uo, Hana, I'm sure they have their reasons for going this way. If they were following us or meant us any harm…don't you think they would've been behind us?" she said, turning towards her friends.

                "I guess…" started Uo.

                "We're going to be late to the movie if we stay here any longer…" said Hana in her monotone voice.

                "Ah! You're right, let's go!" shouted Torhu, "Sorry for the trouble!" she said as she bowed in front of the boys before running back across the street with her friends.

                "We'll have to hunt her down tonight…but we'll continue to observe her during the day, just in case a good opportunity presents itself." Yuki calmly said as he headed for a quicker route to the theater. Kyo followed reluctantly as he thought,

                'Whatever, just as long as I get to eat soon…'

                "I'm going to the bathroom, let me know what I miss," Tohru whispered to Uo as she slid out to the aisle and headed out the door. She went around a corner and nearly bumped into someone, but he had put his arms out and kept her from falling on him.

                "I'm sorry!" she said as she immediately bowed.

                "Watch where you're going from now on!"

She looked up with tears forming in her eyes to see who it was that she had bumped into…It was the orange haired boy from before.

                "Oi, don't cry! I…it was my fault in the first place…sorry." He looked down at his feet and she immediately felt better about this person.

                'Even though he's rude at first, I think he might be a really nice guy if you get to know him,' she thought before saying, "My name is Honda Tohru. We met back on the street…What's your name?"

                "Uh…Kyo…Sohma Kyo…" his stomach let out a growl, "Ah, sorry...I need to go get some lunch, see ya."

With that, he darted away from her before she could say anything else. He went into an empty theater room and found Yuki…feeding on a little girl. Kyo shuddered. He'll never get used to having to do that sort of thing for a meal…

When Yuki finished, he dropped the girl and went over to a corner of the room where he had a young woman (most likely the mother of that girl) tied and gagged. He pointed at her and said to Kyo,

"You will feed on her."

Kyo was about to say 'I'm not hungry' when his stomach growled once again. So he slowly walked over to the woman, bent down, and said,

                "I'm sorry..."

He sunk his fangs into her neck, his eyes began to glow as the warm blood began to run down his throat, and a single tear ran down his cheek.
