We can all just forget about that whole mix-up and just get on with our lives now

Januray 10th

"How do we break you out of your shell?" The Dark Lord said. The doll lay still on the tabletop. "Then you may find pleasure in just listening to what I have to offer." Nagini slithered around on the floor, hissing every once in a while. "I know all about you, you aren't just a toy, are you?" Voldemort laughed airily. "If you can lead me to what I want, I am willing to give you what you have always dreamed of. Do you still have nothing to say? All is not lost."

The Dark Lord said one thing, inside of his mind. "Legilimens." Tsumibito may have appeared to be so, but he was not a fool, nor was he weak. The Dark Lord would have never been able to enter his mind. At least, it would take more than just a few billion tries to break him.

"Aah, one skilled in Occlumency. Very well. I am in no rush, you can take as long as you like."


"Haruhi looks so scary lately!" somebody whispered

"Yeah, like he's killed somebody!" another whisper answered

"Or like he's the one who was killed and he came back from the grave!"

It was true. Haruhi's complexion was much pastier, her eyes looked soulless and dead. The way she walked seemed agitated, but it still had the same delicate grace from before. When she spoke to someone, she always sounded like she was about to murder them. Nobody even saw her eat anything anymore. She would always sneak away during lunch.

"Haruhi~" Hikaru and Kaoru said "You don't look so good."

Haruhi's response was a barely audible grumble.

"Seriously. Maybe you should get something from the cafeteria, the cooks are gourmet-"n Koaru said

"I know about your stupid gourmet chefs, Kaoru. I already have a lunch!" She snapped. "It's a damn good lunch too." she trudged out of the room. Even she felt that her reaction was a bit excessive, but there was no way she was going to apologize at this point.

"Can you believe her?" Hikaru asked

"Jeez."

"Those "iron-enriched" foods don't seem to be cutting it," Hikaru said, "It's like she's always on her cycle."

"You know.. we shouldn't just complain.. maybe we should check up on her.." Kaoru said, shrugging

"You go ahead, I don't want to get my head bitten off by her!" Hikaru told him.

"Why me?" Kaoru asked

"Because it was your idea. Go on, I'll be in the cafeteria."

And so, Kaoru began following Haruhi. She was walking very fast, and kept on turning corners. Kaoru had to hurry to be able to keep up with her. He didn't call after her, that would've probably just made her dash off. Haruhi was heading of toward the part of the school that was being renovated. The construction workers were there at night because the noise would "distract" the kids from their fun. Far away from her, Kaoru saw Haruhi go into a closet.

"What the hell.. why is she eating lunch in there?"

Kaoru walked very slowly towards the door, he heard Haruhi happily saying "Sweet heaven, thank you."

He turned the knob and opened the door, "What are you doing in here?" He asked. "Are you afraid that somebody's going to steal your lunch?" He found Haruhi, sitting on the floor, with half of a steak in mouth. Her eyes were wide. Kaoru opened the door wider to shine some of the light on her. Then, he paused, staring at the scene in front of him.

Haruhi, knees to her chest, her eyes glowing red. A very bloody piece of meat in her mouth. Not even normal, right from the butcher's bloody. It seemed unatural. The sudden stench from the meat that filled the closet and was thrown in his face made Kaoru stumble, using his legs to scoot away from the scene. "Ha-Haruhi, what's going on?"

"Kaoru..this.. this isn't what it looks like!" she said, coming over to him to help him up. She reached out her hand to him, coming closer to his own body, and that's when Kaoru lost it. Haruhi had fangs. He began to scream, and Haruhi tried her best to keep his mouth shut with her palm, and dragged him into the closet.

"Shh! Shh!" she hushed him. Eventually, his screaming turned into a steady rasping. Haruhi was trying to calm him down. His head rested on her shoulder, and she held him as he was crouching on the floor.

"Haruhi.. you.. you're a .. you're a.."

"Shh."

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry for touching you.. I'm so sorry for all of the jokes that me and Hikaru played on you, I-" Kaoru began to cry.

"Stop talking, you're making a fool of yourself."

He sniffled, and tried wiping away the tears. "I'm sorry for shining that light on you."

"It's not sunlight, you're fine."

"I thought.. I thought.. you guys.. only drank.. human-"

"Let's not get into all of those details, Kaoru. Besides, where am I going to get human blood from? Take it from one of you guys? No, it's easier with dead meat."

"Have you ever-"

"I haven't "sucked a human's blood", no."

"Humans.. everywhere.. and you.. oh god, Haruhi.. You're a vampire!"

"Shut up!" She cried out.

"Vampires aren't real though." He said stupidly.

"I didn't think they were either. Look at me."

"I'm so sorry." He whimpered. Haruhi was quiet for a few moments.

"It's okay." I am so effing screwed. She thought. If anybody, anybody, in her family found out about this, among other things, she would be the dead meat. "Kaoru."

"Hmm."

"If you tell anybody, I will kill you. Literally."

"I just have one request." Kaoru said. "Since.. that day.. I've never really been able to really show you that I'm sorry.." Haruhi stayed quiet, she didn't like thinking about "that day". Kaoru was shaking. Of course, anybody would, if they found out a close friend was a beast. "I read that.. vampires become weak if they don't drink blood.. and you've been a complete mess for weeks and.. and.."

"Oh Kaoru.. Kaoru no, I can't." Haruhi pushed him away from her. "I won't."

"Haruhi, please." Kaoru slid off his tie, coming closer to Haruhi. "It would give me peace of mind." He began un-bottoning his jacket, and he laid it neatly on the floor, far away from him. Then he took of his shirt and put it with his jacket.

"I'm not going to-"

"If your jacket gets bloody, it'll be a problem." Kaoru said, taking off her jacket for her. "Besides, you should relax." He loosened her tie slightly. Kaoru put his hand behind her head and brought her mouth close to him, where his neck and shoulder met. "Do it."

She had to admit, the scent was overpowering. "Why are you doing this?"

"That's what friends are for."

"Prick." she said. Kaoru knew that she was secretly relieved. Her eyes were half-lidded. She opened her mouth, and bit down gently, trying her best not to put him in a great deal of pain. He let out a small gasp, holding onto Haruhi for support. His fingernails dug into her upper-back. . Haruhi was in a state of euphoria, and didn't notice the pain.

After a while, Kaoru fell down on his back. Haruhi licked her lips and teeth clean of the blood, and her eyes stopped glowing red; she began to panic. It was then that she noticed that her shoulder was bleeding. Haruhi put her hand over Kaoru's wound, pressing down firmly. Kaoru was gasping for breath. A few drops of blood from Haruhi's wound traveled across her chest and onto her collarbone. A few more followed the trail, and gravity made the big drop fall, down, down into Kaoru's mouth. He stopped gasping, and started breathing very heavily, clenching his eyes shut. "I feel... different." He managed to say.

"Kaoru, are.. are you okay?"

His chest rose, and he sat, his arm around Haruhi's shoulder. He opened his eyes and looked at her.

"What have I done...?" Haruhi whimpered.

"I feel.. so.. weird." he said, before collapsing.


"I'm so sorry." Haruhi kept on saying. "It's all my fault." Tears streamed from Haruhi's eyes.

"I was asking for it anyway." Kaoru said, wiping her tears. "Then.. I guess... so that guy knows?"

"Yeah.. Harry knows." Does he know that I'm a vampire too?

"And..now I'm a..."

"Not fully yet, no."

"No?" Kaoru exclaimed, surprised. He was happy that he still had a little bit of humanity left in him.

"If you don't want to fully change, then you're going to have to control your temper." She said, staring at him sternly. "Don't bottle anything up, you might explode. Try to stay calm all of the time."

"No problem. In case you haven't noticed, I'm not Hikaru."

The two of them silently put on the rest of their clothes. Haruhi had quickly wiped of the trail of blood on her body so that it would not stain her shirt. (It was awkward, for both of them, being shirtless in the same room).

Kaoru's wound was not very harsh, Haruhi wasn't a messy "eater". It wasn't very high up, so it would be easy to hide.

"Kaoru."

"Hm."

"I'm sorry."

"Are you kidding? I get to live forever."

Live forever and watch all of your friends and family die, she thought. "Keep gauze with you, in case you do lose your temper." She said, finally. "You'll need it. I did."

"What?"

"Rolls of gauze. You can bite down on them from the pain."

"What?"

"For when the fangs come in." She said, Kaoru trailed his tongue across his teeth. Then, Haruhi opened the door. She took one step, then looked in horror at Harry who was standing in front of the door; fuming.

"What the hell," he said, anger in his voice "were you two doing in there for so long?" He asked. He was shaking.

"Harry, Harry I swear this isn't what it looks like!" She said, taking a step closer to him.

"Oh? So I didn't see you go into that closet all sneakily, with that kid following? I didn't hear sounds coming from in there? I didn't-"

"We weren't doing that!" She said hopelessly.

"Then what were you doing, huh?" He yelled. "This morning you were all pissy, and now suddenly you've brightened up?"

It was true, after the little feeding session, Haruhi looked much healthier than she did before. He saw Kaoru behind Haruhi, and his eyes widened. His blood began to boil, his heart began to pound. "You, you scum!" He screamed, running at Kaoru. He pushed him down and began to choke him. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from her? Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from her?" He bellowed. Haruhi tried to pull him away. Kaoru managed to kick Harry off of him, gasping for breath.

He tugged at the collar; revealing the bite marks. "Sorry for trying to save her life," His face began to twitch in anger. Deep breaths, Kaoru. Deep breaths. "You're an ass if you think that Haruhi would do that kind of thing."

"Kaoru!" Haruhi snapped.

"He tried to kill me, Haruhi. I'm sorry if my patience is spread a little bit thin right now. I just gave blood to help out his precious Haruhi, I risked my life, my humanity, and he thinks that I just spent the last 15 minutes inside of you." Kaoru then let out a small laugh, "Oh the irony, because you were the one with your fangs in me."

Harry stared at Kaoru, then Haruhi, then away from both of them. "You mean to tell me.. that you're.. a vampire.. too.." He said.

"Tch." Kaoru said, thinking that Harry was talking to him. "What a quick one. I've been one for only a little while and I've already been found out."

"Oh, um, I took the umbrella because, I, uh, don't want to get sunburned! I burn easily, and putting on sunblock takes too much time!"

"I already ate."

"Hey, be careful, okay? Promise? Don't get hurt. At all. Oh? Well, uh, you know, I'm anemic. The way I see it, you shouldn't "brag" about your blood."

"Why didn't you tell me before? I thought we already had this discussion?" Harry asked quietly, in English. "You never told me that that part of you was there."

"..It didn't come up."

"Didn't come up? It didn't come up when you breathed fire in my face? It didn't come up when you were crying about keeping secrets from me?"

"Harry I-"

"Let me talk, Haruhi! I'm sick of it! It's frustrating to know that every time something new happens it always ends with you still keeping secrets from me! I'm tired of it!" He said, before turning out of the room in a quick run. "Stay the bloody hell away from me!"

"Slow down! I want to talk to you!"

"I'm tired of talking to you!"

"Just listen then!" She said, starting to lose her breath. Harry stopped running, the both of them panting. He felt the heat in his face.

Haruhi took a deep breath, "I've known magic existed since I was a child. It didn't surprise me all that much when you told me about everything." She said quickly, bowing to Harry. He didn't look at her, and began tapping his foot impatiently.

"And? What else?"

She thought for a moment, then shut her eyes tightly. "My first kiss was with a girl, I made up that entire story about a kid getting gum in my hair, and I promise you- no, I swear to you, Kaoru and I weren't doing what you thought."

Harry sighed, and turned towards her. "I stole my cousins' 10th birthday money in the mail before any of my other family found it and paid a kid in my class to teach me Chinese. He was my only friend in grade school, and he moved back to China at the end of the school year, he left me a couple of books to learn."

Haruhi looked at him.

"I've nearly been killed loads of times, because there's a wizard out there trying to kill me. He's the one who killed my parents." He said this in a whisper, coming closer to her so she could hear.

Haruhi's jaw dropped.

"When I first saw you, I started doubting my sexuality."

Haruhi blushed.

"Come here, " Harry said, extending his arms out. Haruhi ran to give him a hug. They kissed. "You promise me, there is nothing else? I'm not kidding this time, I'll have a fit if something new pops up."

Haruhi looked away, pouting "I can't help it if something new just "pops" up, each one is triggered by a different emotion and state of mind. For the werewolf, it was curiosity, for the vampire it was rage, for the dragon it was "secrecy"." She mouthed the name of each one of the beasts. "And Harry, there's ...one more thing."

"..What?"

"You probably thought that it was all just a big joke, and I didn't really care at the time. Everybody thinks it's just a joke, that's why it's mostly family who knows how important he is to me. Hell, most of my family doesn't even know the truth about him, just that he's there."

"..What?"

"Harry.. my "doll", Tsumibito, he's alive."

Just then, Haruhi's eye began to glow. She was encircled in a great sphere of light, and Harry, once again, covered his eyes with his arm. The sphere disappeared, and a gust of wind blew through the hall. Harry uncovered his eyes, and his jaw dropped.

It is said that the beast lives for around a thousand years, dies, and is reborn. In many cultures, it has become a symbol of one's rebirth. At the end of each of it's life cycles, it sets itself on fire, and is burned to ash. Then, from the ashes, and infant beast appears, and grows into itself, once more.

The Pheonix.

Just as the Pheonix is reborn, Haruhi found herself to be "reborn" ( marked by her admitting her final secret) as a new chapter of her and Harry's relationship began to blossom. A chapter of trust, after so much arguing about the topic, the two could finally be open with one another.


Tsumibito was tired. Voldemort was skilled in wizardry, with decades of practice. Tsumibito wouldn't have been able to hold him off for longer, so, he tried a different approach.

The Dark Lord may have been skilled in Legillimancy, but Occlumency was not his forte.

A young, orphaned boy, all alone in the world, with no friends or family. He was different, and everyone knew it. His world was so full of people who despised that the boy grew to despise the world. He even hated his own parents. What kind of parents could leave their child in such a horrible place?

His heart grew stone-cold and warped. So young, yet he knew that those who opposed him had to be punished.

He was saved from his world, and taken to one where he "belonged".

But the one who saved him knew there was something different about him too.

He was accepted. He was cherished, and he was loved. There was no good in the world, there wasn't even "evil", evil which he just thought was the norm, evil which was what he grew up with. Everything was warped in it's own way. There was no good, no evil. There was only power. He grew with power. He craved only power.

He conned, he lied, he murdered.

He became powerful.

"Enough!"Voldemort shrieked. Tsumibito could no longer see inside of his mind. "My dear Nagini," he said "our guest needs some time alone to think." Nagini hissed at the doll, it almost looked like she was smirking. Pointing a bony finger at the doll, he said "I will not underestimate you again, boy. But let this be a warning to you, I can make you disappear from the world."

{Shall we leave him here now? He has no means of escape.} Nagini asked.

{No.. one of those find it most unbearable when accompanied by those who aren't "close enough" to it. He stays with us, at all times...} Voldemort answered. He picked up the doll and dropping it into a cloth bag. Tsumibito was by no means, alone, but he felt lonely as ever.
