Momo: Okay, this chapter is just nothing but shameless fluff that I have no excuse for. Enjoy!


I felt myself laying on something warm and soft. "Am I dead?" I mumbled. "No, if you were I'd pull you out of hell and kill you again." a voice said. I opened my eyes to see Zero standing beside the bed I was laying on. "What happened?" I asked. "After you passed out, Kuran and I carried you and Ichijou back." he explained. My eyes widened as I shot up into a sitting position. "Takuma! Is he alright!?" I exclaimed. Pain suddenly shot in my stomach and my back, making me lay back down. "Calm down, he's laying right next to you." Zero grumbled. I turned my head to see Takuma fast asleep. "How long have I been out?" I inquired. "A week and a half." "Holy shit are you kidding!?" "No. Your boyfriend woke up four days ago and he won't leave you alone for a second. It's annoying." I smirked in amusement. "I'm pretty sure him getting into a weeks coma for trying to save me pays off the time he bit me." I said "Whatever. I won't blow his brains out, but I still don't like him." Zero grumbled as he walked out of the room.

Ha! He knows I'm right, he just doesn't want to admit it.

I turned around and stared at Takuma's sleeping face. He looked so peaceful. I thought about what Zero said and smiled, he never left me at all.

His warm green eyes opened and stared into my blueish-gray ones. They widened once he realized I had finally woken up. "Hikari, you're awake!" he exclaimed as he shot out of bed, picked me up by my arms, and pulled me close to his chest as he swung me around. He pulled me back and held me in the air, a face-splitting grin plastered on his face. "I missed you." he cooed as he kissed me repeatedly. "I missed you too." I said while giggling. Takuma was adorable.

He finally sat down on the bed with me resting in his lap, his smile never leaving his face. "It's a good thing I woke up when I did, if I didn't you would have gone insane." I joked. He chuckled slightly. "Yes I would have." I grinned and snuggled close to him. "I'm so happy. I don't have to worry about Hana anymore and I don't have to wor-.... aw crap." "What's wrong?" "I forgot. Before the whole blood fest, I heard Kaname and Hana arguing and I heard someone was still trying to get me killed." A long, uncomfortable silence followed as we both thought about how long it would be before more unwanted pain and violence would come.

"Hey, lets not worry about that now. Lets just be happy everyone we care about is okay." Takuma said, breaking the silence. "Good point." I replied. I noticed he looked a bit weary. "Is something wrong?" I asked. "No, I'm just still recovering." he assured. Wow, he just gave it away. I hugged him close and set my chin on his shoulder. "You need blood, don't you?" I asked. I felt him tense up at the question. "Go ahead, I don't mind. It's the least I could do for you." I said. "Are you sure?" he inquired hesitantly. "I'm positive." I answered.

I felt him kiss my cheek and kept kissing down until he reached my neck and licked it gently. I felt his fangs sink in, but it didn't hurt. It felt more like a kiss instead of a bite. My mind wandered off to the last time he bit me. He was rough and scary then, but now he was gentle and loving.

When he was done, I felt him kiss the bite he had just made and bring his head up to look into my eyes. "Feel better?" I asked. "Yes, I do." he answered. He suddenly leaned foreword and kissed me tenderly. I closed my eyes and rested my hands on his shoulders as I felt him wrap his arms around my waist, making us both fall back on the bed. Relishing the moment, I tangled one hand in his hair as my other hand went up his shirt and traced the scars Hana had inflicted on his chest. Takuma on the other hand, tickled my sides, making me laugh as I felt his tongue dart in my mouth. I felt his hands rest on my stomach as he gently rubbed the scar where Hana stabbed me with his katana.

He pulled away and started kissing my neck repeatedly, making me sigh in content. I let out a small moan when he sucked on a sensitive spot. After he was done with my neck, he moved back to my lips.

"Ahem." someone said. "You've got to be kidding me!" I exclaimed as I turned to see who walked in on us this time. How awkward, it was my uncle. "Uhh.... Hi uncle!" I exclaimed uncomfortably. "I heard you were awake, so I came in to check on you. I guess I might as well have not come in if I didn't want to see my niece and my friend getting friendly." Kaname said with a small smirk on his face. I scowled. "Well if anyone in this academy had ever heard of a beautiful thing called KNOCKING maybe you guys wouldn't see so much." I grumbled. I heard Takuma start to giggle slightly. "Well, I suppose you want to be walking soon." Kaname stated. "Hell yeah! I'm sick of laying around in bed, I've been out for over a week." I replied. "You want out of bed already? I think you just crushed Ichijou's hopes and dreams." a voice called. What a shocker, Aido strolled into the room with an evil grin on his face. "I'm going to kick your ass one of these days." I grumbled. "Well, it's not my fault you're entertaining to make fun of." Aido said. I chucked a book at him, making it hit Aido right upside the head. "Bulls-eye." I muttered. Takuma burst into laughter upon seeing Aido's reaction. "That wasn't very nice Hikari-chan." he whined as he rubbed the back of his head. I rolled my eyes. "Hey, I said I'd throw Takuma at you, but I'm not strong enough yet and I'm comfortable with him right here."

Both Kaname and Aido rolled their eyes at my comment about Takuma. Hmmmm, if I say more stuff like that maybe they'll leave. "Oh! I have a message for both of you." Aido said. "We're listening." I mumbled. "Ichio wants to see both of you." Aido announced. "What?" Takuma and I asked at the same time. Why the hell would he want to see me? His grandson I could see because he was injured, but me? I have a bad feeling about this. "When does he want to see us?" I asked. "In a couple hours." Aido answered. "Are you serious? I just woke up!" I sighed. "Fine. What do I have to wear?" "Something formal. Try a dress or something." Kaname said. I frowned as I got up and stumbled to the door. "I don't have a damn dress." I growled in annoyance as I walked into the bathroom.

I quickly stripped down and looked in the mirror. There was a big scar on my stomach from the katana. I turned around to see if I had any scars from Hana's claws. Sure enough, there were four long claw marks on my back. I sighed deeply, it's gonna hurt like hell when the water hits the scars.

I turned on the hot water and tentatively stepped into the shower, hissing in pain as the water hit the marks on my body. I slowly got used to the pain and just let the hot water loosen up my tense muscles. This was very relaxing.

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me. "Aw crap." I said to myself. I woke up in Ichijou's room, so none of my clothes are here. I looked at the robe they had put me in and scowled. It was covered in dried blood.

I peeked my head out the door and looked around, making sure I was the only one in the room. No one was there so I slowly walked out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around me tightly. I looked around the room for ANYTHING to wear, but had no avail. My heart almost stopped as I heard the door open. "Hikari, I got something for...... you." Takuma's voice rang out. I slowly turned around, embarrassed with myself. His face flushed bright red and he tried to look away as much as possible. "Uh, I got you a dress." he said awkwardly while holding out the outfit. It was a long sleeved dark purple dress that looked as if it would come to my knees. "It's pretty. Thank you." I said as I took the dress.

He just stood there for a second. "Uhh... I'm just gonna go change now." I said as I darted to the bathroom. Nice, I'm officially the biggest idiot in the world now. Of course someone's gonna barge in, especially when you're in someone's room! I sighed and and readied myself for the "meeting."


Takuma's POV

I have to say I didn't expect Hikari to be standing in the middle of my room wrapped in a towel. After she sprinted back to the bathroom, I smacked myself in the forehead for my idiocy. I should have knocked before I entered, even if it was my own room. The worst part was trying not to look up and down at her slim body while she was standing there. Great, now I sound like a pervert.


Hikari's POV

I walked out in my new purple dress with my hair in a neat bun with two strands of curled hair framing my face. "You look beautiful." Takuma commented. "Thank you." I replied with a blush. We walked out into the moon dorm's foyer and saw Kaname standing there with Ichio. "Hello Takuma and Miss Takanashi." he greeted. I nodded in response as Takuma said hi back. We were led outside and escorted into a car. I sighed and couldn't help but have a bad feeling about this as the car started and went past the school gates.


Momo: Naughty Takuma... lol. Anywho, I have a favor to ask for anyone who can draw! My printer won't work and I can't ge my art work of Hikari on my profile for anyone to see, so if anyone wants to draw her and put it up, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Okay, cya next chapter!
