Hey guys. Sorry it's a little late. I have a terrible headache that won't go away and it's been bothering me for about a week. Just keeps getting worse, nothing works. But I'll push past the pain and get this chapter up. But if it's not as good as it could be I'm sorry.

Anyways, I'll stop before I really start to ramble.

Chapter 4

Rin wasn't really paying attention as Miss Nekonome explained how she wanted everyone to join a club. Some bullshit excuse about how it would make them 'feel more human' or something. He wasn't really in the mood.

He had sent a letter to Yukio about a month ago asking about how everyone was taking his...'condition', and when the moley-four eyes wrote back? He said his time there would most definitely be longer than a couple of months. No one, not even Shiemi, was close to accepting his heritage.

So he wasn't really planning on listening in class today. Good thing the teacher only wanted to talk about clubs.

Rin sighed and layed his head on his hand. He didn't miss the questioning looks thrown at him by Kurumu and Tsukune. The Akashiya twins didn't notice, they were too busy having a silent conversation. About what? He didn't know.

He shrugged off the looks of confusion from his friends and turned his attention to the cat lady at the front of the classroom. He took in her tail and her ears, quietly thinking about how similar they were, and yet how different.

As soon as she dismissed the class, all of the students were gone. All except for Tsukune, Ura, Omote, Kurmu, and himself. As the others began to talk amongst themselves about what kind of club they wanted to join, Rin made his way to the front of the room to the dejected looking teacher.

"Miss Nekonome?" Rin asked as he walked up to her, the others glancing at him curiously.

"Yes?" she asked him in a defeated voice, but tried to look as perky as possible.

"I'd like to join your newspaper club."

The cat womans eyes widened, and she leaped from her desk. "Really!? Oh this is wonderful! The first meeting is tomorrow night after classes, I'll see you then!" and with that she was out the door, bouncing off the walls with excitement.

Rin was smiling. He had payed enough attention towards the end to know that the teacher had a club, and from the sounds of it, nobody wanted to join.

Even if newspaper wasn't really his thing, he couldn't let such a nice lady- literally a cat lady-be so disappointed and dejected. He knew what that felt like, he was feeling it himself at that very moment.

As he watched Nekonome bouncing down the halls, he barely noticed the last of the students walking up behind him.

"Seriously, Rin? We didn't even get to look around!" Kurumu shouted, lightly slapping his arm. Hey, she didn't know what Rin was, and she didn't want to accidentally hurt her destined one!

"What? Oh, it's ok, you guys go look. I'm not that into crowds." Rin responded, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm just gonna go for a walk around campus."

As Rin turned to walk off, he noticed Ura behind him. "Yes?" she asked as she noticed his gaze on her.

"Why are you following me?"

"Wanted to make sure you didn't get into any trouble." she said with a hint of slight mischief.

"Oh my God! The vampire queen does have a sense of humor! The world must be ending!" he joked back with a fake panicked look. "But seriously, why are following me instead of making sure Tsukune doesn't get your sister into more trouble?"

"It'll be ok. I warned Omote not to go near water, and I threatened Tsukune not to let her get into any trouble. I also asked Kurumu to keep an eye on them, and to take Yukari along for the ride. I figured I'd just join the newspaper club too, so I won't have to worry about trying to find something to interest me. If you can handle it, then so can I." Ura looked at his quizzical expression. "What? Didn't think I could think so far ahead?"

"No. Are you sure you're not just trying to spend alone time with me?" he asked mischievously while waggling his eyebrows at her suggestively. Of course, he was kidding, anyone could see that. But it didn't stop the faint blush from covering Ura's cheeks, which she quickly covered with a serious look.

"Be still my beating heart." she said with a monotone voice, making Rin facefault. Ura would never admit it, but the thought of being alone with Rin did made her heart beat just a little bit faster, and she briefly thought that maybe-

"I wonder what Kurmu thinks of all of this? Maybe she'll join the newspaper club too, since she's so convinced I'm her 'destined one.'"

Nope. That thought was out of her mind as soon as it was there. No way was she, a humble vampire, even thinking about possibly having feelings for a lowlife such as him! But.. was she sure he was a lowlife? No one had come close to figuring out what Rin was. For all she knew, he could be something almost as powerful as her. He does carry that sword everywhere- That's it! She could ask about the sword!

"Hey Rin? What's with the sword?" she asked. Rin stopped, and she briefly remembered the last time she asked about what he was, and was slightly nervous(although she would never admit it. She was a strong vampire ! She doesn't get scared damn it!) she had pushed whatever button she had before. Just as she was about to draw back her question, Rin opened his mouth, and she took a notice to his slightly sharp canines.

"It's a sword. It's not really important. Why?" she knew she had to answer this right, otherwise she would anger Rin again, like she had before, and she didn't want to feel that suffocating heat instead of this comforting warmth.

"No reason. I was just wondering why you always carried it around." she didn't say it as a question, just a statement. Maybe that would work."

"It's.. a family heirloom. Kind of." That surprised her, she didn't expect an answer. "No more questions, please." She could see the slightly pleading look in his eyes, and she knew it was time to stop, even if she didn't get very far.

She nodded at him, and he visibly relaxed.

They finally took notice of their surroundings, and they were quick to realize they were deep in the forest, barely seeing the academy anymore.

"We should head back. The others should've had enough time to look around by now." And with that, they were heading back the way they came.

Time skip

Ok, so, going on a walk? Not his best idea. When they got back, they caught up with the others before they had reached the dorms. They hadn't been expecting them to look like they had just fought a battle- because, as they found out, they had and Ura was pissed.

"You went near- no, scratch that- you went in water!? What the hell did I tell you right before I left! No water!" she shouted at her sister, and just as everyone thought she was done, she whirled on Tsukune. "And you. I left my sister in your care! You failed to keep her safe! How did you not know about water!? You're an imbecile! Why I oughtta-" just as she was moving towards him, someone was in front of her.

"Ura, calm down!" Rin said, but to no avail, Ura was so pissed she just pushed him out of the way. But before she could take another step forward, she felt it again. That bone crushing heat. It had replaced the warmth once more, and Ura knew she fucked up.

Alas, she didn't even have the time to freeze, because as soon as she pushed Rin out of the way, he was back. But he looked so much angrier. So much more feral.

"I said stop." The way Rin said it. It was almost as bad as when he had threatened Saizou. Almost. There wasn't as much threat, but it was still there.

Ura held her pride, although she did back down. "Fine." But she still had her anger. "I'm going for another walk. Alone." She added the alone because she saw Omote ready to tag along. And she marched off.

Rin was still in his defensive position in front of Tsukune, not letting his tense muscles relax until Ura was completely out of sight.

Everyone was staring at him, not knowing if he would be just as vicious with them as he had been with Ura. But, as he turned around towards Tsukune, they could see all anger was gone. Unknowingly, they all let out breaths they hadn't known they were holding.

Rin visibly deflated. "I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't m-mean-"

Before he could finish his apology, Kurumu was on him, hugging him like he was her life support. "Don't apologize! You stood up for Tsukune! That's amazing! It doesn't matter that you're really scary!"

Rin knew she was trying to help- he really did. But those words stung him so deep. That was the reason he couldn't go home, because he was 'really scary.' Unknowingly, Kurumu had just tore open a flood of feelings in Rin's heart. And he knew that if she found out she had hurt him, she would probably break, seeing as she believed he was her destined one.

Rin quickly pried her off of him, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw how deeply hurt he was, and lightly gasped.

"Rin-"

"No, Kurumu, it's ok. I just- I need to deal with something. I need to- I need to accept it. I'm.. I'm 'really scary' huh? Ok, well, I- I need to go." Before any of them could react, he was running off.

"Rin!"

"I'll be ok by tomorrow, I promise!"

Kurumu was standing there, not sure what to do. "Do you think it's true?" she turned to see the pink haired vampire. "Do you think he'll be fine by tomorrow?"

"I hope so."

Chapter four end

Ok, so I tried to add my own thing to the story, and I know it's not great or long, but I'm trying. I couldn't remember exactly how this episode went, and my headache was killing me, so I improvised.

Well, let me know what you think. Criticism is welcomed. Thanks for reading!

Laters!
