Momo: Okay, here's teh next chapter!

Kaname's POV

Yuuki, Kiryuu, and I were in Kaien Cross' office, discussing Hana's appearance. "You're letting a murderous bloodsucker like her in the school!? What the hell is wrong with you?" Zero exclaimed. "No offence Kaname-senpai, but it's not a very good idea to keep her in the school, and wasn't she the one that killed Hikari's parents?" Yuuki said/asked. "I have something planned, but she came here for a reason other than to harm Hikari, and I will find out what she wants before we permanently rid of her." I explained. "You should have told me first Kaname, I never would have sent Hikari off alone with Hana if I had known it was her." Cross said.

I turned to glare at him, but my senses were stopped short when the smell of blood flowed in the air. Kiryuu cold smell it as well, because he too was trying to identify the scent. My eyes widened slightly when I realized who's blood I was smelling. "Hikari..." I mumbled to myself in disbelief. Zero and Yuuki ran out the doors as I quickly followed.

Hikari's POV

Takuma still hadn't stopped yet. I felt my knees start to buckle, I probably wouldn't be walking much after this. He must not have had blood for a long time, considering the circumstances right now. I closed my eyes and hoped this would end soon.

"You lying son of a bitch!" a voice yelled. I heard a gunshot and a yell of pain. I felt Takuma's body pull back from mine, letting me fall to the floor. Luckily for me, someone caught me. "Hikari! Are you okay?" I slowly opened my eyes to see Zero, and boy was he pissed. "Yeah.... I'm alright." I mumbled. "Hikari! What happened!?" Yuuki screeched as she burst into the room and ran in front of Zero and I. "Uhhh..." was all I said as I looked toward Takuma. His eyes were green again, and instead of the usual happy glow to them, they were wide with terror. His face was also pale with the grim realization of what he had done.

I heard footsteps enter the room. I looked up to see a very displeased Kaname. I knew things were going to end badly. "Are you alright?" Kaname asked. I nodded my head in response. Kaname walked up to me and grabbed my arm so he could help me up. Both him and Zero hoisted me off of the floor and held me until I could balance myself. My attention turned to Takuma again. I suddenly remembered the gunshot and saw that he was holding his shoulder, which was bleeding heavily.

I didn't care about what he had done, I was worried about him. I walked towards Takuma, ignoring Zero's angry remarks.

I stopped in front of him, he didn't dare look up into my eyes. I gently placed my hand under his chin and lifted it up so he was looking at me. His eyes were shiny right now, it looked as if he was trying not to cry. "I'm not mad. I forgive you." I said.

Takuma's eyes widened and his jaw dropped in shock, he wasn't expecting me to forgive him. He nodded his head, confirming to me he understood. I smiled. "good."

Suddenly, I felt my legs give out and I fell foreword. I knew I wouldn't be walking for very caught me before I bashed my face against the hard kitchen floor. I was glad I didn't pass out again, but not being able to walk was a problem.

I heard footsteps walk up and stop in front of Takuma and I. Whoever it was, yanked me out of Takuma's arms and into theirs. I looked up to see a VERY pissed off Zero. "You said you'd never hurt her. She wouldn't be your next meal ticket. You lying bastard. Get near her again and I'll blow your brains out." Zero threatened coldly. I gasped quietly, Zero was overreacting. He had bitten me and Yuuki before and we still go near him. Then again, Zero hasn't been a vampire all his life like Takuma has. I guess he has higher expectations for Takuma.

I took one last glance at Takuma before Zero carried me out of the room, followed by a stunningly quiet Yuuki.

Takuma's POV

I'm a monster.... I bit Hikari without mercy. It's amazing she forgave me, but now Zero will kill me if I go near her again. That is, if Kaname doesn't first, seeing as I bit his niece. I watched Kaname walk up to me after Zero and Yuuki left with Hikari. "What happened?" he asked. I sighed deeply, choosing my words carefully as I spoke. "I got Hikari away from Hana, but she was slightly injured after the encounter. So I brought her here to make sure she was okay. She started coughing up blood and I tried to comfort her, but her blood ended up on my hand. The next thing I remember is someone yelling and getting shot." I explained. "I see. You lost control." he stated. I looked back down at the floor in shame. "I suppose I will let you see my niece again, but don't do that again." he said. My head shot back up and I gave Kaname a confused look. He was letting me see her? I don't know if I wanted to see her though. What if I hurt her again? "Lets get your shoulder looked at Ichijou." Kaname said as he pulled me to my feet.

Hikari's POV

I could move again after about ten minutes. Yuuki had left the room to go patrol again while Zero stayed with me. He was still enraged. We sat in silence until Zero punched the wall, making a hole in it. "What the hell was going on?" he asked. "Hana beat the hell out of me and Takuma saved me." "Yeah, then he almost sucks you dry." Zero retorted. I sighed, this was going to end in an argument. "He still saved me from someone who WANTS to kill me." " It doesn't matter! He damn near sucked you dry!" "Like you haven't tried either!" "I couldn't control it!" "Well neither could he! I don't see why you're getting so worked up over something he couldn't control." "He's been a leech all his life, I've only been one for four years! He should be able to control it better!" "So what!? He needed blood and he may have scared me, but that's no reason to threaten to kill him!" "What if he does it again!? What are you going to do then!?" I had enough. Walked pass Zero to the door. "I appreciate you caring for me, but mind your own business." I said coldly as I slammed the door behind me.

I stomped down the hall, completely enraged. There was a loud thud coming from the room Zero and I were in, he probably punched another hole in the wall. Why the hell did he have to act like such a child!? He's a vampire too, so he should know damn well Takuma couldn't control it and it wasn't on purpose! I am glad Zero cares, I see him as my brother and visa versa, but he was being a pain in my ass! No, I shouldn't think like that. Zero just lost his temper and needs time to cool down. I'd talk to him when we both were calm.

I walked back to the moon dorms and walked in. Nobody was there yet, but classes would be over very soon. I walked around until I found Takuma's room. Before I could knock, Kaname appeared beside me. "Checking up on him?" he asked. "Yes. I'm worried." "He's very upset. Good luck." Kaname then walked away, leaving me to my own business with Takuma.

I walked in the room to see Takuma laying down facing the wall with no shirt on and a bandage over his shoulder. I walked over to him while soundlessly shutting the door. I put my hand on his arm and shook him gently, making sure to wake him up if he was asleep. "I'm awake." he murmured. He turned around to face me, sitting up in the process. "How are you feeling?" I asked. "Like a monster." he replied. I scowled. "You're no monster. You acted on your natural instincts. You couldn't control it." "I know. But I scared you and I hurt you." "You only scared me because you caught me off guard and honestly, I didn't mind the pain." "I don't want to do that to you again." "Look, Takuma, if you ever need blood really bad, just ask." "You don't know what you're saying." "Yes I do. I'm offering myself." Takuma stood up and walked towards me, backing me into a wall. "Why would you do that?" he asked. "Because.... I care for you and I think I love you." I said softly. He remained quiet for a moment. "Really?" he asked. I smiled. "Do you think I'd lie about that?" He smiled as well while resting his forehead on my own. "No, I don't." he said. He leaned down and kissed me while wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me close to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back. I felt one of his fangs lightly stroke my lip, asking for entrance. I parted my lips, letting his tongue slip in my mouth. His tongue moved everywhere, exploring and memorizing everything it came in contact with. I felt his hands rub up and down my back as the kiss heated up. I let one hand tangle in his blond hair as my other hand couldn't help but explore his well-toned chest.

"Are we interrupting anything?" a voice asked. Mine and Takuma's eyes shot open and we both looked at the door to see Shiki and Rima smirking their asses off. We quickly separated. "Uhhh... nope." I lied, embarrassed that we were walked in on. "You might want to fix your hair and clothes." Rima teased while trying to stifle a giggle. I looked at Takuma. His hair was very messy, courtesy of me, and since he wasn't wearing a shirt, he really didn't have anything to fix but his hair. I looked down at myself. My hair was about as messy as Takuma's while my shirt was slightly out of place. I smoothed out my hair and shirt while Takuma hurriedly put on one. "Feel free to join us downstairs when you two are done making out." Shiki said. "That will be a while!" I heard Aido yell from the hallway. My eye twitched in annoyance. We were never going to be allowed to live this down.

We arrived downstairs to see most of the night class. Shiki, Rima, Aido, Kain, and "Natsumi". "What happened?" Aido asked. Oh, crap, I knew questions were going to be asked. "What do you mean?" I asked, playing dumb. "Why did we smell your blood and then a few minutes later, smell Ichijou's?" Kain asked. "Well, I got myself hurt earlier and Takuma was making sure I wasn't hurt. Then he lost control and... uh... bit me." I explained hesitantly. Everyone was extremely surprised. "So, how did you hurt yourself?" Rima inquired. Hana glared at me, threatening me not to tell. I looked at Takuma, who squeezed my hand slightly. Apparently he knew about Hana's silent threat. "I fell down the stairs when I was showing Natsumi around." I lied. They all looked at Natsumi with curiosity. "Yeah, she tripped and fell down the stairs. Then Ichijou-san came by and said he'd take care of her." she said. She was a damn good liar. I couldn't stand being in the same room as her.

"Well, I need to go so I can get a little bit of rest for classes." I said. "See you later Hikari." Takuma cooed. I blushed and turned around to walk out the door. "Don't fall on your ass as you hold back the crowd this time!" Aido called. I snikkered slightly. "Fine, next time I'll drag you down as lifee support and let the day class girls attack you." I yelled. I heard a few aughs before I walked out the door.
