Time to face the music

Janessa didn't like people. Well, not many people anyway. And in this world she knew she wouldn't like many people, after reading so much about them. However, it seemed as if she would make quick friends with Takuma, the Professor Toga, Zero and surprisingly enough, Hanabusa.

It was strange. In the manga she had always found Hanabusa Aido clingy and extremely annoying. It amazed her that they both had many things in common and that they made fast friends. However, she still hadn't forgiven him for calling her a tramp, adn was currently holding it against him.

Everyone had laughed at the boy when he burst into tears at the fact she was holding it against him. Takuma was the one who had found it the most amusing, Janessa had found that the boy had turned into some what an elder brother to her. The fact that it felt so right had frightened her.

In her entire life, Janessa had never been as close to anyone as she was to Takuma Ichijou. It had scared the living daylights out of her and now she had started ignoring everyone. She knew she was hurting the feelings of many people, but she didn't really care. She couldn't be close to anyone, it wasn't allowed, she refused to let anyone close to her.

Not since...

Well, she couldn't remember. But whatever had happened, it caused her to have a great fear of getting close to anyone. She refused to let anyone get hurt because of her.

Janessa froze, her eyes snapping open. She stopped walking, worring several of the people stood behind her. She couldn't hear them. All she could hear...Was him.

The cruel mocking tone. Laughing at her. Threatening her. she could practically hear the blood wrapping around his dark voice.

"I will kill you..."

"Your family will die because of you..."

"Will you watch me kill your family?"

"They will hate you..."

"I think I'll kill your brother first, you'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"You don't deserve to live you arrogant little brat!"

"Would you like to die at my hands...Janessa?"

"JANESSA!"

The girl opened her eyes, not realising she had closed them. She then realised she was looking up at the ceiling. Had she fainted? She didn't remember doing that...

She looked up to see the worried face of Hanabusa, his blue eyes close to tears. Janessa almost laughed, he liked crying over her, didn't he?

Sitting up slowly, Janessa groaned at the intense thirst that his her. Her throat felt like it was of fire! She would have started crying, but of corse, that just isn't in Janessa's character. She glanced at Hanabusa, her throat burning a little bit more at the slight movement.

"Hanabusa..."

She ignored the glares, mainly focused on the boy in front of her. She really didn't want to deal with petty teenage girls at this moment in time.

"You wouldn't happen to have a drink on you at the moment, would you?"

The older boy gave her a slightly stunned look, as if he wasn't expecting her to ask such a normal question. He suddenly started rummaging around in his bag, pulling out a water bottle with a slightly pink tint. He was about to put it back in his bag when Janessa snatched it from him and drunk about three quaters of the bottle.

Hanabusa stared at her in shock. She just drank almost a whole bottle of water with the blood tablet in without throwing up. No normal human could do that. You had to be, well, a vampire to keep the contense of your stomach in your stomach after drinking a dissolved blood tablet.

"Thank you Hanabusa. I feel much better."

That was a lie. She didn't. The burning in her throat was still there, still making her dizzy. And her senses... She could practically see, hear and smell everything, making it very difficult to concentrate on just one thing.

The blonde frowned at her, before picking her up in bridal style. Janessa didn't protest, but just rasied an elegent eyebrow at Hanabusa in curiosity and slight confusion. Aido seemed to understand, a light chuckle escaping him.

"I'm taking you to the infirmary. With the way your eyes keep flitting around, I have sneaking suspicion that you have a concussion."

Ah, so he had noticed. Janessa had wondered if it was obvious or not. But then again, when he wanted to be, Hanabusa was incredibly sharp sensed and smart, even for a vampire. It hadn't really surprised her when he had noticed.

"Do you need a hand Aido-sama?"

"Would you like me to carry your bag?"

"Is Janessa-sama going to be alright?"

Janessa glared at the teenage girls gathered around them, and it quickly got them to back off. It was strange though, they had never looked as frightened of her as they had at that very moment.

"Janessa look at me."

She turned her head back to Hanabusa, who sucked in a very sharp breath. She was absently wondered how that hadn't hurt his lungs, before she promtley blacked out again.

She heard THAT voice again. That voice ringing in the darkness of her mind.

"You are too powerful to remain a vampire, Janessa Ichijou..."

This was the one time she had the bravery to reply.

"I win this time... Rido Kuran."
