Momo: I wish I could have seen the looks on your guy's faces when you all reviewed! Priceless! Anywho, enjoy ^^

Yuuki's POV

I ran into the school to find Hikari while Zero followed me after Rido disappeared. He better not do anything to her! "Hikari!" I called, hoping she would still be in the school. I ran into the room she crashed into. A few drops of her blood was on the floor, leaving a small trail to where she walked.

I followed the trail into a large room and saw that another window had been shattered and Rido's blood was on the floor. I followed both trails down the stairs and outside, where the path led into the woods. "Oh, no..." I mumbled to myself.

"Yuuki." I heard next to me. I turned around to see Kaname. "Kaname, do you smell that?" I asked. He nodded and looked towards the woods. I could sense there were two vampires in the woods. Wait, two? No, three. This didn't make sense. Before I could ask Kaname what was going on, he ran into the woods with a slight look of worry on his face. I looked at Zero and scowled. I heard what Hikari asked him on the roof, and I wasn't happy about it. "You know, you shouldn't hate her. Even if you don't help us, you still shouldn't hate her because she's Kaname's niece." I said.

I didn't give Zero time to say anything, I ran into the woods to help Hikari.

Takuma's POV

I cried out in pain as I crashed through another tree. I wasn't doing so good with Rido, seeing as he had Hikari's blood. I took a quick glance at her, she was unconscious, at least I hope she was. My attention was turned back to the fight and I quickly ducked before Rido clawed my head off.

I growled and swung my sword at him. He jumped back before I cut him too much and smirked. "I didn't think you could ever be so vicious. I guess You're jealous because only you should be drinking from her." he teased. I narrowed my eyes and jumped at him,swinging my sword down as hard as I could. He was caught off guard a little as I managed to slice his arm off. "Damn it!" he screamed. "You're going to pay for what you've done to her." I promised coldly.

He laughed evilly. "Why are you so angry? If either of you manage to live, she'll be a vampire and you won't have to worry about your dear grandfather being angry about your choice in a mate." I jumped at him and tried slashing him across the chest, but he quickly deflected with his good arm as his other one was quickly growing back. I pulled back and kept trying to kill him. He was starting to slow down a little bit, but not much.

I managed to slash his stomach, a little payback from when he stabbed me. He growled and the wind picked up violently. I flew back and slammed into more trees, feeling the debris from the impacts impaling me in different places on my body. I finally stopped and slid down one tree and coughed up blood that was congesting in my chest.

Rido walked up to me and picked me up by my neck and slammed me onto the cold, hard ground. He picked up my sword and aimed it at my heart getting ready to kill me.

Suddenly, his hand exploded in a shower of red.

Rido looked at his hand in shock as he turned around to see the cause of his hand: Hikari.

Hikari's POV

I wasn't going to let him kill Takuma. I was angry now, he hurt the one I love, and he turned me into a vampire. Now he was going to pay the price. "Leave him alone you fucking bastard." I growled, revealing my new fangs. He smirked and turned around to see me. "How long can you stand? You're legs are shaking, indicating that you're trying to stand. Or maybe you're thirsty?" he teased.

My eyes flashed red and I ran in front of him and punched him hard in the gut, right where Takuma managed to cut him. He flew back through a series of trees. Payback is a bitch, especially when he's thrown you into a tree before. He stood up from the debris and growled in anger. "Don't get mad at me. This was YOUR FAULT!" I yelled as I made the tree he as standing in front of explode. "After all, I can't control it." I added.

He was angry now, he disappeared and appeared behind me. I turned around and tried to claw at him, but he grabbed both of my arms and smirked. "What are you going to do now?" he asked coldly. I stared at him blankly and brought my knee up hard into his crotch. "I see that works on vampires too." I mumbled to myself as Rido fell to the ground in pain.

Taking advantage of the moment, I ran to Takuma to make sure he was alright. "Takuma! Are you okay!?" I asked worriedly. He looked at me and smiled wearlily. "I'm alright. What about you? I can tell you're exhausted." he said. I sighed. "Please don't wor-" I was cut off my a sharp pain in my chest.

Blood leaked out of my mouth as I looked down to see Rido's hand in my chest. "Hikari!" Takuma shouted. I hadn't expected Rido to recover so quickly. I bent my head back to see Rido's smirking face.

I started hyperventilating. He didn't stab my heart, but he was pretty close to it. "You weren't bad for a fighter, but now I need you to heal me up again." he said darkly. "Not again..." I whispered. "Take my blood." Takuma said. Rido and I looked at him, me in horror, Rido in curiosity. "Takuma, no." I muttered. I heard Rido chuckle. "You'd let yourself get bitten for her? You must be in love." he teased as he ripped his hand out of my chest and threw me to the ground next to Takuma.

He picked Takuma up by his shirt collar and immediately bit his neck. I winced upon hearing Takuma's small cry of agony. I tried to move, tried to stop it, but I couldn't move. The blood was spilling out of my body quickly. The most I could do was reach for Takuma's hand and squeeze it. I smiled slightly when I felt him squeeze back.

When he had his fill of Takuma's blood, he tossed him down next to me. Surprisingly enough, he didn't drain all of Takuma's blood, but he was unconscious and pale. Tears leaked out of my eyes silently as I looked at his pained expression. Rido laughed cruelly. "Neither of you taste too bad." he teased.

"RIDO!" a voice yelled as the ground shook violently and Rido flew back quite a few yards. I tried to shift my head, but I knew the voice anywhere. It was Kaname, and he was pissed. He walked up to Takuma and I and looked down at us. "You both fought well." he complimented.

"Hikari!" another voice screamed. Obviously it was Yuuki. I don't know any other girl in Cross academy who worries about me this much.

Rido stood up and charged at the both of them. I did notice that Kaname and Yuuki were fighting him better than Takuma and I did. They were doing fine.

Suddenly, I heard a gunshot sound in the air. Everyone stopped what they were doing as they stared at who fired the gun. The person started walking and stopped when he was in front of my face. I looked up to see Zero, who looked about as pleased as Kaname. I did my best to smile at him. He didn't hate me then.

Zero then started shooting at Rido, who was dodging the bullets. The weird thing though, was that bloody rose had thorn branches coming out of it. The same ones that saved me back at the academy. They rushed foreword and wrapped around Rido's arms and legs as Kaname then controlled the bloody rose more and wrapped them around his body more. Yuuki then walked up to him and stabbed them with her scythe.

All I could see was hs hand sticking out of the thorn branches and slightly carress a strand of Yuuki's hair. The branches then shattered and there was no sign of Rido.

The three of them ran up to Takuma and I. "I can't believe he turned you into a vampire..." Yuuki whispered. I couldn't answer though, my eyes were closed, but I was barely conscious enough to hear what was going on. "I see. Then we will not leave this academy yet. She will need proper care." Kaname said. "What about the other one?" Zero asked, most likely talking about Takuma. A silence followed. "I'm not sure if he'll make it, it can go either way for the both of them though, lets return them to the school quickly." Kaname answered.

Everything after that, was a painful black void.

Momo: Merry Christmas!!! Review soon and I might come out with more today! ^^
