I really love this story, and well I know it's going really slow now, but I hope it picks up soon and you guys don't get bord with it.

Darkmaster2: Thank you very much. It means a lot to hear someone say that. :)

Chapter five: A breed!

(Why is it so dark? Where am I? Why can't I move?) Silver starts to panic and that wakes up Shido.

He tries to comfort her and says, "What's wrong Young One?"

"What happened? Why can't I see or move?"

He holds her still, rubbing her back in a very soothing manner. "Shhh, calm down, everything is alright. We are in my coffin. You fell asleep in my office so I carried you in here with me."

"Oh, um, sorry I woke you up. I, I got real scared, I thought that I was back under the gazebo."

"I told you before that I would keep you safe and I will. You don't have to ever fear where you are when you awaken because I will be right there next to you."

"Thank you Shido. That means a lot to me. I... I think... Um... I know... I know I just met you... But... Shido I... I think that... I think that I may love you."

Before Shido has a chance to reply the phone in his office starts to ring. He opens the lid, gets out, and goes to answer it.

Silver sits up. (Why did I tell him that? Now what am I going to do? He probably thinks I'm crazy or something now.)

He comes back into the room and says, "Young One we need to leave right now."

She gets out of the coffin and says, "What's wrong Shido? Who was that on the phone?"

He hands her shoes to her and starts to put on his own. "That was Yayoi. There has been a breed attack and the breed is still in the area. We need to go and kill it." Once he has his shoes on he grabs his coat and runs out the door.

Silver puts on her shoes and runs to get her coat. She meets Shido downstairs and they run to the scene and meet up with Yayoi.

"Good your here. The breed is in the building over there. We managed to corner him, but he's hiding now."

"Ok, I'm going to go in and kill it. Young One I want you to stay out here with Yayoi until I get back."

"But Shido-"

"No, I don't want you getting hurt."

"But I could help."

"No, please Young One. You are still so young and I don't want you to get hurt."

"If you give me a chance I can prove that I can help you."

"Next time you can help. I promise. Just let me teach you some things about being a vampire first."

"Fine have it your way!" She storms off across the street.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Yayoi, can you please go after her? I need to get the breed."

"Alright I'm not apologizing for you though. I'm only going to talk with her and tell her that you will be apologizing to her later."

"Fine, thank you." He goes in after the breed and Yayoi goes to talk with Silver.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Hey Silver, are you alright?"

"Yes Yayoi I'm perfectly fine."

"I don't think you are."

"Then why did you ask?"

"To see what you would say. I'm not here to apologies for Shido; I want you to know that. I'm only here to talk with you and ask you to hear him out when he apologies for himself."

"Ok, I'll listen to him. Tell me though, why did he do that? I mean he told me to stay with you when I could help him. I'm a vampire the same as he is. I have the same powers as he does."

"But you have not been a vampire for as long as he has. He's only worried about you. Can't you tell that?"

"I still don't like being treated like a five year old who can't even whip her own nose."

"He's not treating you like a child. Ok, I know that you have only known us for like a day, but you were asleep for a week and the whole time Shido was so worried about you. Every night he would take a glass of mine and his blood mixed to you trying to get you to feed enough so you would wake up. He loves you and wants to keep you safe that's all there is to it."

"He loves me?"

"Yes. Do you know how mad he is that someone just left you in that park to die?"

"I never thought of that. All I saw was that he was trying to treat me like I can't do anything by myself. Wait, did you say that he would take a glass of his and your blood mixed to me?"

"I did."

"Why would he use your blood? I thought that he drank from animals or something."

"No. I'm like his official blood donor. He'll probably want you to feed from me as well."

"I don't think I can do that. I could never hurt you."

"You won't, believe me. It's not as bad as it sounds. As long as you two don't drink to much I'll be fine."

"I still don't know about this whole thing."

Shido comes out of the building limping slightly from the huge gash on his upper leg.

Both Silver and Yayoi rush forward to help him. They both take one arm and lead him away from everything. Once a safe distance away Silver and Yayoi ask at the same time, "What happened Shido?"

"The breed got in a lucky hit. Nothing's wrong it will heal soon."

"Do you need any blood?"

"No, I'm fine Yayoi. Why don't you go back and finish your job at the scene with the NOS. Silver can help me home. I'll meet you there later when everything is settled."

"Are you sure? I mean I can drive you home and then come back."

"I'm sure. Besides I need to talk to Silver about something you told me a few moments ago."

"Oh, ok then I'll see you guys later." She leaves them and goes back. Once she is well on her way Silver helps Shido down the street.

"I'm sorry about before Silver."

"So am I Shido. We can talk once we get home though."

They make there way back the rest of the way in silence. Each thinking about what they have learned about the other and what they are going to do now that they know.
