Momo: *faints at all the story favorites I got* I cam home to 7 emails for the last chapter! You guys are AWESOME! 3


Takuma's POV

I appeared in front of Rido and grabbed his neck before he bit Hikari. His eyes narrowed. "What are you doing?" "I won't let you drink from this one Rido." I snatched Hikari away from him as he smirked. "I see, so you picked a human, Take it from her parents, you're going to regret it." he said coldly. I was about to say something back until Rima interrupted me. "You idiot." she mumbled. Rido and I looked at her, both of us confused. "You let someone take over your body Shiki. You idiot! You're stronger than that, fight it!" she exclaimed.

His eyes went back to blue for a moment and I silently hoped Shiki would just come back. Instead he passed out and landed on the cold stone path. I sighed, how was I going to carry everyone!?

It took me a minute, but I finally was able to carry all three with Rima on my back, Shiki on one of my shoulders and Hikari in one of my arms. I was horrified though. Why did Rido try to kill his own niece. I know part of it has to d with he being a human, but he whispered something in her ear when he pulled her in. If she was calm, I'd ask her about it later. Though I'm pretty sure she won't be very happy with me after this.

I put Rima in her room and let one of the maids take care of her until she woke up. Next, I had to look for a room for Hikari to stay in, since I now shared a room with "Shiki."

"Ichijou? What's going on?" a voice asked. I froze in my spot and turned around to see a very confused Aido. I quickly threw on a smile so he wouldn't worry too much. "Nothing Aido. Hikari fell out of a tree and I found Shiki unconscious." I lied. Aido raised an eyebrow. I knew he'd find out I was lying. "Can Hikari stay with you?" I asked before Aido could interrogate me. "What!? Why not put her in your room?" he asked. "I'll explain later, just take her." I said while losing a little bit of my patience.

Aido sighed and took Hikari from my arms. "Great. Now I have to find bandages! Your girlfriend is a lint trap for trouble!" Aido complained loudly as he walked towards his and Kain's room. I exhaled in relief and carried Shiki to our room.


Hikari's POV

I slowly cracked my eyes open to see the ceiling right above me. I shot up as if I had been electrocuted. "What the hell happened!? Where's Rima and Takuma!? I that bastard" "Calm down!" a voice interrupted me. I looked over to see an annoyed Aido. "What the hell?" I asked in confusion. "Mind telling me what happened?" Aido asked. "You better not tell anyone." I threatened. "I won't." Aido promised. I sighed and leaned back a little. "Long story short, after I left I saw Shiki and Rima fighting, Takuma was there too. I hid behind a tree, hoping I wouldn't be spotted, but I blew my cover because I yelled when Shiki stabbed Rima. Then Shiki made the tree next to mine explode into splinters while I was freaking out with my hands over my mouth. He figured out which tree I was behind and destroyed it while slightly slashing me in the back with that damn blood whip.

Then he figured out who I was and Takuma called him Rido-sama. Rido pissed me off by teasing me about mom and dad, so I punched him. Lot of help THAT did me. Next thing I know, he's trying to drink my blood, so I elbow him in the gut. All that did was piss him off and he threw me into a freaking tree. If I had a nickle for every time I've been thrown into a tree, I'd be swimming in money! Then the last thing I remember his passing out when he was about to bite me."

Aido's jaw was about an inch from the floor by the time I was done. "Oh, shit! Did he bite me!?" I yelled as I jumped up and looked into a mirror.

There were no bite marks. I sighed in relief.

"When I saw you. Ichijou was carrying you and Shiki. If you want to find out what happened, ask him." Aido said. I frowned, not being very happy with Takuma at the moment. He could told me my evil great-uncle was in the school and gave me a heads-up!

"I'll look for him." I mumbled as I walked out of the door. I was gonna find Takuma and DEMAND answers.


I had probably walked around the whole damn dorm already and I still couldn't find Takuma.

I angrily walked into the foyer. "Where the hell can he be?" I muttered to myself. Ironically for me, he was sleeping on the couch. I rolled my eyes and walked up to him.

I started poking him. "Takuma? Wake up." I said softly. He mumbled something unintelligible and pulled me down onto his chest, trapping me in a hug. I groaned in annoyance. "Do I LOOK like a teddy-bear?" I asked sarcastically. "Mmm-hm." was Takuma's reply I scowled. "If you're awake, I won't know weather to smack you or kiss you." I grumbled.

Fate is a bitch, because Takuma switched positions to the point where I was a freaking pillow. The guy is heavier than he looks! "Takuma. Get off!" I exclaimed. It only got worse, you see, his arms were still around me and he was using my damn chest as a pillow. THAT'S why I'm annoyed.

His eyes finally opned, but he wasn't facing me. "Since when did the bed get so soft?" he asked himself while yawning. "Since you decided to use me as your personal pillow." I said, making him yelp in surprise. "Ah! You're okay!" he exclaimed with a smile. "Oh, crap, here comes another hug." I thought. And sure enough, he pulled me into a bone-crushing hug. "Air.... oxygen!" I gasped. He let go and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Gomen." he said. I rolled me eyes and smiled in amusement, he was such a goofball.

"I want to ask you about earlier." I announced, getting straight to the point. He frowned and looked at the floor. "I'm sorry about that." he apologized. "What happened after I passed out?" I asked. "I stopped Rido from biting you. He knows about us now, by the way." "Greeeeaaat." "Then Rima yelled something for Shiki, Rido lost control and passed out. So I carried all three of you back. "Wow, my boyfriend is superman." We both stopped to laugh at that comment.

"So. Why the hell are you hanging around with my evil uncle and why didn't you warn me about him?" I asked. Takuma sighed. "My grandfather is making me keep an eye on him. Plus if I don't, Kaname will kill him, which will kill Shiki. The reason I didn't tell you is because I didn't was you getting mixed up in this mess." he explained. "Hard to do that when you're his great-niece and he's a bastard-coated bastard with bastard filling." I retorted. He stayed quiet for a minute. "Okay. I should have told you, but I didn't want to worry about him hurting you." "You wouldn't have had to worry if you had told me in the first place. If you told me I would have stayed away from him." "I'm sorry." He looked so guilty. I quickly hugged him. "I'm not mad at you. I'm just stressed." I assured. He smiled at me. "Well. There aren't any classes tomorrow." he said. I rolled my eyes in amusement. "You're hopeless without me." I joked he laughed and pat the spot next to him. "Damn you. Who can resist that smile?" I asked, making him laugh more. "Definitely not you." he answered as he laid both of us down. "You're a pain in my ass sometimes." "But yet you love me." "....." I merely stuck my tongue out. He rolled his eyes and fell back to sleep with me next to him.
