Momo: Okay, this chapter has quite a but of violence and just a note for ppl who are wondering, yes, the evil Rido will be in this fic.
I was beginning to get worried. It had been about a week since Takuma bit me and Hana still hasn't made any attempt to kill me. What the hell was she planning? Zero was really pissed at me because of our argument and had been giving me the silent treatment. Every time I tried to walk up to him and apologize, he's walk away. Yuuki had been acting strange as well. She seemed less energetic than usual. She kept saying it was because she wasn't getting much sleep. Bull. SOMETHING was going on.
Our routine of holding back the animals today was slightly different. Kaname and "Natsumi" were no where to be found. I sighed a breath of relief, she would most likely be gone before the night was over. Gone or dead, I didn't care. Though I have to admit, I prefer dead.
I patrolled on my own this time, seeing as Zero was pissed at me and I couldn't find Yuuki. I heard a couple of yells come from one of the rooms. I climbed a tree and jumped onto a balcony where I heard the noise coming from. I looked in the window and noticed it was Kaname's office. Kaname and Hana were in there arguing. Whatever was being said in there was pissing both of them off. I got as close as possible to the window as I could without being seen and I listened carefully. "He will be back! You know it!" Hana yelled. "I'm going to kill him, just like I'm going to kill you." Kaname growled. "Oh? All this for that little girl? Isn't it hilarious that she doesn't remember who her own family is?" Hana teased. The window suddenly exploded. I was lucky none of the glass shards hit me, if I was cut I would have been busted. Judging from the sounds of it, they were talking about Yuuki because I sure as hell don't have any memory loss.
"Leave this school at once if you know what's best for you." Kaname said coldly. I heard a dark chuckle from Hana. "You honestly think I'm leaving without killing Hikari? I'd be disobeying orders." What the hell!? Orders!? Do I have a hit out on me or something!? "Leave my niece alone you witch." "You honestly care for the daughter of the Kuran your family practically disowned?" Disowned? I wasn't told that. "She wasn't disowned. Haruka and Juuri just weren't ecstatic about Tsuki's choice, but the night you killed them, I was visiting them to tell her what happened to our parents. That's why you were caught in the act." Kaname explained. A growl erupted from Hana's throat. "Why should you care!? She's not a vampire! She has the smallest bit of pure blood's blood in her, but it doesn't matter!" she yelled. "You're just angry at yourself because you actually listened to him and killed Tsuki, now you're blaming it on Hikari." Kaname said. He who? I felt the ground shake. It was time to go.
I jumped from the balcony and ran off, listening to their quarrel as I got farther away. Great, more things I didn't know. So, some bastard ordered Hana to kill my parents, and she went along with it and later regretted killing mom, so now she's following orders with killing me and she's going with it because she's blaming me for moms death. I gritted my teeth in anger. What else didn't I know!? I turned around and punched the tree behind me, leaving a slight hole in it. I winced in pain, tree bark against your knuckles isn't a pleasant feeling. I pulled my arm back and examined my knuckles. They were bleeding. "Shit!" I exclaimed. I heard a twig snap. I turned around and put my fists up, mentally cursing myself for throwing my dagger and leaving it.
"Who's there?" I called out. I felt a strong force push against me and knock me back about fifty feet into the woods and slam into a tree. I groaned in pain as I slid down to the forest floor.
I looked up to see Hana walking towards me with her eyes shining bright red. Ignoring my pain, I quickly got up and ran in some random direction, hoping to lose her.
Kaname's POV
The scent of Hikari's blood drifted in the air, which caused Hana to jump out to attack her. "Damn it." I mumbled to myself as I quickly walked outside, only to run into Ichijou. "What's going on Kaname-sama?" he asked. Obviously he smelled the blood as well. "We need to find Hana and kill her immediately. She's after Hikari." I explained calmly. Ichijou's eyes flashed red for a moment and then quickly back to green as he took out his katana and went in search of the two women. I walked into the woods and followed the scent of blood.
Hikari's POV
Branches whipped by, scratching my face as I ran. I didn't care, as long as I got away from Hana I didn't give a damn. I climbed high up into a tree to hide while shortly after I had sat myself down in the tree, Hana appeared. She wandered around with a spaced out look in her crimson eyes. "Hikari." she said in a sing-song voice. I shuttered, it was just like the nightmare I had a few weeks back.
She disappeared, but I wasn't taking my chances, I was staying in this tree until someone I knew I could trust came along.
I sat there for about five minutes, still not coming down for anything. Suddenly, I felt a warm breath on my ear. "Found you." Hana said darkly. I felt her long claws rip across my back, making me lose balance and fall off of the tree. I screamed in pain and fear as I fell. Luckily for me, I landed in a pile of leaves that the tree had lost, but the landing was FAR from soft. I whimpered in pain, hating how pathetic it was that I was in such a bad predicament again. I didn't want to feel like someone who constantly needed saved, I wanted to take care of myself. Hard to do that when your parents pissed someone off and they were killed, resulting in me being at the top of someones kill list. Not only that, but I was only a human, Not that I wanted that to change, I just wish I was as strong as one so I could fend for myself instead of ending up like this.
Hana jumped down the tree and landed gracefully on her feet a couple yards away from me. I looked around for a weapon, I wasn't going down without a fight. I felt around for something sharp until I found a thick and sharp stick. It would have to do.
I slowly stood up, feeling the blood rush down my back and my spine practically scream in pain.
Once I was on my feet, I pointed my "weapon" at Hana. She laughed so hard she had to caress her stomach. "A stick? Against a pure blood? You're foolish!" she exclaimed.
I felt anger rush through me, which resulted in an adrenaline rush as I ran towards Hana with my sharp stick in the air.
She stopped laughing and moved out of the way, but I quickly slashed sideways, cutting her arm a little. She grinned evily, knowing her wound would heal almost immediately. "Damn." I mumbled to myself. If I was going to do any damage, I'd need to hit something vital.
She lunged at me. I thrust my stick foreword, knowing I wouldn't be able to move fast enough to dodge. I felt my back smack into the cold hard ground. I couldn't help but scream loudly, feeling the gashes rip open more.
I felt something warm spread out on my top. I felt no pain around there, so I wasn't injured. "You little bitch." Hana murmured, coughing up a little blood. I pushed her off of me and saw the stick in her stomach. I Smirked and scooted back a little so she couldn't claw at me.
My luck ran out because she yanked the stick out of her gut, and there isn't even a word to describe how pissed she was. She stood up, wincing in pain as she did and walked towards me. I tried to crawl away, but I felt her hand grab my neck. The threw me with a lot of her strength, making me crash through a series of trees. I screamed yet again in pain. Those splinters are going to be hard to get out. Wait, what the hell am I thinking!? I might not live long enough to even worry about the damn splinters!
She crouched down low to the ground, ready to finish me off. I closed my eyes and prepared myself. I heard her nails clash against something metallic. "What the hell are you doing here!?" Hana yelled in anger. I opened my eyes to see Takuma, who also was beyond pissed. "I'm saving the girl I love." he growled as he swung his katana at her. I tried to smile, how sweet of him.
They fought on for a while, but unlike Hana, Takuma wasn't a pure blood, so most of the blood flying was his and I was really worried. "GO AWAY! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL YOU." she screamed as she threw her claws foreword, slashing him across the chest. "TAKUMA!" I screamed. He flew back and landed next to me, still conscious. I felt a sharp pain in my gut. I looked down to see Takuma's katana, Hana must have took it from him and thrown it at me.
I felt blood leak out of my mouth as I whimpered in pain. I felt around and felt Takuma's hand, then squeezed it tightly. "Hikari..." I whispered. His voice sounded strained and ragged. "Shut up boy. I'm already going to get in a lot of trouble if you die." Hana growled. She then walked up in front of me, raising her claws in the air. "Now die." she said darkly. I held my breath as she swung her claws down.
A hand suddenly shot out of the darkness and yanked Hana back by her hair, slamming her into the ground. I looked up to see Zero's face. "Z-zero." I murmured. "Just shut up and let me handle this." he said coldly. I leaned my head back and smiled. Obviously if he was saving my ass, he had forgiven me. Now if I live, I can freaking hank him later!
Zero had started shooting at Hana, but she was dodging most of the bullets. The ones that did hit her weren't doing too much damage. Plus there's the fact that she can heal quickly. "Screw this." I mumbled to myself. I reached my hand foreword and grabbed the handle of the katana. I pulled on it, trying to get it out of my stomach. I cried out in agony as I felt the blade slowly slide in my gut. Unfortunately I couldn't pull it out yet, it hurt too much.
"Get the hell out of my way!" Hana yelled as she literally bitch slapped Zero, making him fly past the tree I was pinned to. I heard him land on something with a loud crack. "Now I'm going to just hurry up and kill you with no interruptions!" she exclaimed. Jeez, talk about your psycho bitch. Before she could take another step towards me, someone trapped her in a bear hug and bit her neck, making her shriek. It was Kaname.
I knew he wouldn't be able to hold her for too long just by sucking her blood. I gripped the handle of the katana, took a deep breath, and yanked it out of my stomach. After whimpering and hissing in pain, I held the blade up in the air. "Kaname.... catch! I yelled while tossing the sword to him. He caught it and immediately stabbed Hana on the heart. Her eyes shot open in pain before they went dull.
Kaname dropped her lifeless body to the ground. "Thank god." I whispered. "Is everyone alright?" Kaname asked. "What the hell do you think? Hikari and her blood-sucking boyfriend are bleeding to death." Zero grumbled as he limped toward us. My vision started flashing in and out like a strobe light, making both my eyes and head heavy. The last thing I remember is someone picking me up and everything after that is completely black.
Momo: Okay, Hana is finally dead! But, is she the only one? Find out next chapter! :D
