It was a long day for Katsu. Her mind kept going back to last night at the Moon dormitories. She couldn't believe that her father would tell Toga to do such a thing as make sure Zero wouldn't bite her. It was completely unlike him. The next time she went to town, the Suzuki pureblood needed to find a phone and call her father. She desperately needed to talk to the man.

Katsu sighed and leaned against the tree next to her. All day, she hadn't seen Zero. She didn't see him in the halls or outside patrolling the grounds. She didn't even see him when it was time for the switch off.

The brunette looked up at the sky. It was becoming quite dark. She quickly made her way to the classroom that Amaya was in. She knew that Toga was teaching them tonight. She had to hurry though. She wanted to catch him before he got into the classroom. The brown-haired pureblood was able to get to the hallway that led to the classroom in only a matter of minutes. She looked down the hallway. He was there and he was almost to the door. The brunette ran up to him and grabbed his brown jacket.

Toga looked over his left shoulder to see her there. "Katsu," he spoke up.

"Toga, tell me where Zero is," she asked him.

The black-haired hunter looked away from her, "You should be able to guess."

The brunette paused for a second, "You quarantined him, didn't you?"

"We had no choice, Katsu," Toga spoke as he got himself out of her grasp.

Katsu looked after him as he walked into the classroom; a sigh soon escaped from her lips. What on earth was she going to do?

In the classroom, Toga walked over to his desk. As he did so, he looked around at all the vampires. They were all looking at him. He set his book down on the desk and faced the class.

"I'm Toga Yagari. I'll be your temporary lecturer for this ethics class," he introduced, "Before we start for the night… Hello, vampires."

All eyes flashed bright red at the last part of his introduction before going back to their normal colors. Most of them were not happy or pleased with his presence. Their sense of danger rose.

"Yagari, that's the name of the number one vampire hunter right now," stated Ruka.

"So, it was you shooting last night," Aido commented.

"You all can relax. I'm certified to teach," Toga answered. His one good eye scanned all the vampires in the classroom. He finally came upon Amaya Suzuki.

Aido noticed this and turned to the raven-blonde-haired pureblood. "Amaya-sama, do you by any chance know this man," he asked her.

Amaya looked up from her book at the new teacher once more. She had to admit that she had heard of him but knowing him was completely out of the question. She had never met him before. Never even seen him before now. "I've heard of him, but nothing else," the ravenette finally replied.

"You're Amaya Suzuki, aren't you," asked Toga as he leaned against the chalkboard.

"And how do you know me," she questioned, standing up slowly from her desk.

"I know your cousin," he answered.

Katsu, Amaya thought to herself, Wait, if he's a vampire hunter and he knows Katsu, then maybe…

"Are you Katsu's master," she asked.

Everyone went quiet for a few seconds after she asked that.

"Wait, Katsu-sama's master," Aido finally spoke up, "What do you mean, Amaya-sama?"

The pureblood didn't answer him even when he turned completely around to look at her. She didn't dare take her eyes off of the black-haired man before her. She had to know and needed to know for she still didn't understand why her cousin went to him as a vampire hunter master instead of their own grandfather.

"Why, yes... I am," Toga finally answered.

Amaya sat down, somewhat satisfied with the answer she was given.

"Well now, what brings you here, teacher? Is it because one of us is on your list," asked someone behind Amaya. Turning around to see whose voice it was, Amaya saw it had been Kaname who had spoken.

"Well, hello, Kaname Kuran," Toga said smirking now, "Currently, my execution list is empty, but if you fall asleep during my lecture, I might just consider placing you on there."

Kaname smirked a little as well at Toga's little sarcasm. "Then, I guess I'll have to be careful, teacher," the pureblood prince retorted back, closing his book.

Amaya turned back around to face the board before the lesson started. It was long, but not too boring thank goodness; to be expected from an ethics class. From what she could see, some of the students before her tuned out midway through. Probably not a good idea.

"Well, are there any questions," Toga asked at the end of the lecture.

No one spoke up.

"Alright that will be all. Class dismissed." The black-haired hunter quickly felt something coming towards him. He took his book and placed it before his head. A sharp silver knife ran right through the book, just barely inches away from his head.

"I'll just keep this as a reminder of how I'll be teaching vampires from now on," he responded before he walked out of the classroom. Once Toga got into the hallway, he was surprised to see that Katsu was gone. He sighed. He had thought that Katsu would have tried to get Zero's location out of him after class, but apparently, he was wrong.

Katsu was outside leaning on a tree. She was looking up at the night sky, thinking things through. She sighed. She wanted to do something to help Zero without Toga knowing, but what?

The brunette caught the smell of a mountain lion just a few feet from the black fence that surrounded the school. An idea popped into her head as she thought about the lion. She remembered that some of her followers and even herself would sometimes feed off of animals to help them last awhile without fresh human blood. It could just work for Zero.

"But knowing him, he would think that was ridiculous," Katsu whispered to herself. She ran her hand through her long, dark brown hair.

What could she do to help Zero?

"Katsu," a deep voice to her right called.

She turned to the voice to see that her master was standing there. He had a small, lit cigarette in his right hand. "Oh, hey, Toga," Katsu replied kind of glumly.

"Look, if you want to go see Zero, then go to the Headmaster's guest room," Toga angrily told her. He knew that the woman had to be worried over the other pupil. It only made sense.

"No, it's fine. I'll see him whenever he gets back," Katsu simply replied.

Toga looked over at her, "What changed your mind?"

"I've just been thinking. That's all."

The male hunter sighed. "Well, I'm glad that you thought about it, Katsu," he told her honestly.

The brunette nodded. She looked over at the main building doors to see them open. The Night Class came out and started to walk down the path to the Moon dormitories. Katsu saw Amaya walking near Kaname. The two of them were talking to each other while leading the whole group back to the dorms. What they were talking about was a good question, but Amaya looked happy and that's all that concerned Katsu.

The brunette got up from leaning against the tree. "Toga, I've got to go. I'll see you tomorrow," she told him. She quickly walked back to the Moon dormitories, just before the Night Class members. Her goal? To reach the dorms before them.

Toga watched her as she left. He sighed deeply just before the Night Class walked past him. Most of them stared at him as he stood there. He shook his head slightly before walking back to Kaien's office.

Katsu knew perfectly well that the Night Class was behind her, but that didn't stop her from walking at a fast pace. She wanted to get back as soon as possible. She just kept on walking. She could talk to Amaya later.

The brunette quickly walked up the stairs, down the hallway, and to her bedroom. Katsu took off her red cloak and hood and set it on a chair that was near the windows. She ran both her hands through her long, brown hair again. Out of nowhere, her eyes turned bright red. Katsu could feel an overwhelming amount of power running through her blood.

What am I going to do, she thought to herself, It's starting. Before long…

The Suzuki pureblood shook her head to get rid of the thought. She couldn't concern herself with that. Right now, she had to take care of the overwhelming amount of power and stop it before it took control.

Someone knocked on her bedroom, startling the woman a bit. Katsu's bright red eyes turned back to their original black color.

"Hey, Katsu, how ya doing," asked Amaya through the door.

"I'm fine," Katsu quickly replied, "Why?"

"I just wanted to make sure that you were okay."

"Thank you, Amaya, but don't worry. I'm fine."

"Alright, if you say so," Amaya spoke before walking across the hall to her own bedroom. She knew something was wrong with her cousin and that she wouldn't tell her. She could tell from the way she first answered and the feeling in her gut as well.

The ravenette sighed deeply as she walked into her bedroom, closing the door behind her. She saw that the sun was just starting to rise outside. She walked over to the windows on the right side of her bed in order to close the curtains. Before she could do that, she saw a dark shadow run in the woods. She looked closer to see a dark gray wolf with golden eyes running into the woods. Amaya watched it for a while longer before it disappeared completely.

The ravenette closed her curtains before going to sit on her bed. There was something familiar about the wolf, but before now, she had never seen it before. Then why did it feel so familiar?

The ravenette gasped as a sudden painful headache appeared. Amaya placed both hands on the sides of her head. She gasped again when a vision appeared.

Just like before, she saw wolves attacking former humans. She watched as the same black wolf with tan paws and dark blue eyes was running towards several vampires. It tore off the heads of a couple of vampires in just a single bite.

The others, it tore into their chests, pulling their hearts out. The wolf came out of its fight with blood dripping down its black muzzle, staining it a red color as well. The black wolf howled into the air, telling the other wolves to keep going. It stopped after a few seconds before looking in front of it. Several vampires were coming towards it. The black wolf growled in response, telling the vampires that it wasn't afraid to kill them. Its tail was swinging back and forth; some of the hair sticking up.

A dark brown wolf and a pure white wolf came out of nowhere and attacked two of the vampires at the same time. They both quickly dug their teeth into the necks of the former humans. The brown wolf flung its brown head up and threw the former human at a tree, making it turn into dust immediately.

The pure white wolf instead ripped the head off of its prey. The former humans stepped back and growled lowly at the two new wolves. The new wolves growled loudly and snapped their jaws at the former humans. The former humans stepped back again. They hadn't expected the wolves to growl back at them. The brown wolf and pure white wolf attacked them without warning. They ripped the former humans' throats apart, spilling blood over the grassy ground.

Once the two of them were done, they both walked over to the black wolf's side. The brown wolf bumped its brown head into its left shoulder. It was asking if it was alright; at least, it had to be.

The black wolf snorted in response, telling it was okay most likely.

The vision ended there and disappeared along with the headache.

It's those wolves again, Amaya thought to herself, Why do I keep seeing them? It all doesn't make sense.

She stood up to change out of her uniform and into a pure white nightdress. Amaya immediately went to sleep once her body had hit the white bed. She didn't even bother to pull the covers over her body. She was that tired.

The very next day, Amaya woke up with very little sunlight coming through the curtains. She slowly got up to see what time it was. She had about an hour before she had to get downstairs to go to the main building.

The black-haired pureblood walked over to her bedroom closet and grabbed her white uniform. She dressed herself and brushed her long, blonde-streaked, black hair. She ran her right hand through her hair, double checking that all knots were out.

Amaya grabbed her books and walked down the stairs. She saw that a few people were already down there. They all bowed to her as she walked down the stairs. She nodded to them, telling them they could stand back up.

She walked over to the windows near the front door. A few minutes after she had started to look out the window, she heard someone call her name. She looked over to her right to see that it was the Kuran pureblood.

"Kaname, good morning," she said, a little surprised.

"Yes, good morning," he responded, "Did you sleep well, Amaya?"

"Yes, thank you for asking."

"Kaname-sama," someone called out, gaining Kaname's attention, "It's about time that we head out, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is. Let's go, everyone," Kaname commented.

Amaya followed the pureblood prince outside into the afternoon sun. As she was walking past the herd of Day Class girls, she noticed that Zero was back and handling the Day Class girls well.

How… When did he get back, Amaya thought as she walked past him.

She looked over to her right. Katsu was there and she had noticed the confused look on Amaya's face. Katsu quickly mouthed that she would explain later. Her cousin must have guessed that her expression was made from Zero's sudden appearance back. The ravenette nodded slightly before she passed her cousin. She continued on her way to the main building with the Night Class.

The night went slow for Amaya. She was bored in almost every lecture that night. She at least tried to pay attention to what was happening during the lectures, but her mind kept going back to the vision she had before she went to sleep. Before she even knew it, the lectures were over and everyone was going back to the Moon dormitories. Amaya was one of the last couple of people to leave the room. As she was leaving, she met up with Katsu.

"Katsu, please tell me… When did Zero get back," the ravenette asked.

"This morning and to tell you the truth, I don't know how he's feeling well enough to come back. I think for now that we should just leave him be for a little while," the brunette stated.

Amaya nodded, "Well, let's hope that idea works."

"I agree. Let's go back to the dormitories."

As they were leaving, someone stepped into their path. As the person turned to them, they saw it was a tall man. He had longish, black hair that covered his light-bluish eyes just a bit. He was wearing a long black coat over a dark black dress shirt. He was wearing worn-out jeans and white tennis shoes.

A deep growl grew in the brunette's chest.

The ravenette looked between her cousin and the man, confused as to what was happening before her.

"Why are you here," Katsu growled.

"I'm here to take you back with me, my dear Katsu," the man replied.

Katsu pushed Amaya behind her, intending to protect her if she had to. "I'm not going with you and that's final," she hissed.

"Well, then I guess I'll..."

He wasn't able to finish because he was tackled by a huge, dark gray wolf with golden eyes. The man flew into a tree, leaving him stunned for just a few seconds. The wolf turned to Katsu and Amaya. Those golden hues were kind and the wolf looked like it wasn't going to attack them, which was certainly good.

The wolf looked back at the man and growled deeply. It bared its sharp teeth at the man and with that, its tail began to rise upwards with hair sticking up. It was almost like it was saying that it wasn't afraid to back down. The dark-haired man looked to the wolf, still dazed from being flung into a tree. The wolf crouched down, ready to attack the man if necessary.

The man stood up from the ground. He was breathing hard. Blood trickled down the right side of his head. "Well, never thought I would see you again," he chuckled.

The wolf growled deeply as an answer of sorts to the man's comment.

The man looked over at Katsu, his light-bluish eyes fogged over just a bit. "I guess I'll see you later, my dear Katsu," the man spoke before he left.

The wolf immediately left after him.

Amaya tried to follow the wolf but was stopped by her cousin. "What are you doing?"

"We shouldn't go after them. Just trust me, okay?"

Amaya nodded.

"Alright, let's get going," Katsu stated.

They walked back to the Moon dormitories, finding they were the last ones to get there. Katsu stopped right at the front door of the dormitories when she had thought she had felt something.

The ravenette turned to her. "Katsu, what's wrong," she asked the older pureblood.

"I think someone from the Hunter's Association is out there. Go on ahead and go to bed," Katsu stated before she turned back, "I'll see you later." She walked back out to the woods. There waiting for her was the same man from before: brown hair and brown eyes.

Hunter's Association.

"I'm guessing that's another order for me," she asked.

"Yes, but it's also for your cousin Amaya," the man told her.

Katsu sighed and took the white letter from his hand. She read it over to see that there were two former humans that lived in some abandoned part of the town. That was one place that the young Suzuki noble did not want to take her cousin to on an order.

"Could I get someone else to help me instead of Amaya," she asked once she had read over the letter completely. She wasn't about to let her cousin endanger herself when her visions were getting worse.

"As long as that someone else is Yagari, do as you please," he answered.

The brunette nodded before walking to the main building. She walked up to the Headmaster's office. She hesitated at the door. She wasn't really sure if he actually would come with her, but she had to try, right?

She didn't want to take Amaya. Not yet anyway.

The Suzuki woman breathed in before knocking on the door.

"Come in," Kaien said from the other side of the door.

Katsu opened the door and walked into the room. She looked at one of the tanned couches that were in there to see that Toga was sitting there. He was already in his vampire hunter outfit. His rifle leaning against the couch.

"I got an order and they said I needed to take someone with me," she explained, "I was thinking that maybe Toga could come."

Kaien looked over at his friend. "So, what are you going to do, Yagari," he asked in a sing-song voice, "Are you going to help her?"

Toga sighed, defeated. "Alright, I'll go," he replied as he got up from the couch. The hunter grabbed his rifle before leaving with the brunette.

They were able to find the abandoned part of the town in only a few minutes. They were standing in front of a building that had some of its roof gone. Its windows had some of the glass broken. The outside of the building was covered in vines.

"Is this the place," Toga asked her.

"It appears to be. I can feel them inside," she responded.

"Alright. I'll go through the back and you go through the front," Toga slightly ordered.

Katsu nodded. She agreed with him that they had to split up in order to get the former humans separated.

Toga ran around to the back. He looked into one of the windows. He saw the former humans. They stood up and smelled the air. He knew that they could smell Katsu. Her scent had to be a lot stronger than his. The black-haired hunter watched as one of the former humans walked out of the room. He heard Katsu kick the front door down. After that he heard Katsu fire her gun twice, but he could feel the former human was still alive.

Toga decided that it was his time to act. He found the back door and also kicked it down. He turned to his left. Standing in the room to his left was the other former human. It growled lowly at him.

"Vampires are despicable beings indeed," he commented. Toga shot his rifle at the vampire. It moved just enough that the bullet grazed its left shoulder, but before the vampire could get away, Toga fired his rifle again. This time it was right at the former human's heart. Immediately, the former human turned into dust. He breathed in, relief quickly taking over him.

Unfortunately, it wasn't long before his moment was interrupted. Toga heard a loud crash in the front of the house. He quickly went over to see that Katsu was laying down on the floor. Dark red blood was dripping down from her limp body, starting to flow across the floor without a bit of hesitation. The black-haired hunter looked at the other side of the room. The former human had her sword in its chest and blood was starting to form a small spot there on his clothes. He watched as the vampire turned into dust and fell to the floor in a pile. Katsu's anti-vampire sword landed on the floor with a loud clang.

"Katsu," the black-haired vampire hunter yelled as he ran over to the pureblood. He rested one of his hands on her right shoulder. He shook her once, trying to get her to get up from the floor. She didn't budge.

Damn it, Katsu, you had to let your guard down, Toga thought.

He looked at the front windows. Pulled back to the sides of the windows were white curtains. Toga ran over to them and pulled one down. He ripped several, long pieces off to use as bandages. He wrapped the pieces around Katsu's right leg to hopefully stop the bleeding that was there. It would be just enough to help him get her to the academy. She would have to stay in one of the Headmaster's guest rooms to avoid being jumped on by many hungry vampires at the Moon dormitories.

Toga sighed softly. He should probably let her stay with him. He wasn't teaching any classes tomorrow, so he could keep an eye on her while she healed. Before he picked up the brunette into his arms, the hunter grabbed her sword and placed it in its sheath. He walked back to the academy with his young pupil still in his arms. Katsu's head was on his right shoulder. Her eyes were closed. She must have passed out from the impact against the wall.

Once Toga arrived at the academy, he made his way to the room he was staying in. He laid Katsu down on the bed gently so as not to move her injured leg too much. He took his rifle out of its holster before taking his coat off. Toga placed his coat over Katsu's small body. He just wanted to make sure that she wouldn't get cold overnight. The vampire hunter left the room to get some much-needed sleep on the couch.
