Momo: Hehe I surprised you guys! Anywho, enjoy!
Takuma's POV
"What!?" I exclaimed, not believing what I had just heard. Hikari sobbed into my chest, but managed to choke out an answer. "Rido's my father!" she answered. I looked up at Kaname, who was staring at Hikari. "Kaname, why didn't you tell her?" I asked. "I didn't want to believe he did such a thing to my older sister." he answered sadly. I guess I couldn't blame either of them. Kaname's sister was raped, that would be hard to talk about. Then Rido turned Hikari into a vampire, tried to kill us both and almost succeeded, then she finds out her real father is the man who did that. I would rather have a vampire hunter for a father.
"Shh... lets go." I whispered softly to Hikari, who continued to cry. I picked her up and walked past the class, where everyone stared at us. "Ichijou!" Shiki's voice called out. He ran up to us. "What's wrong? Why is she crying?" he asked. Should I answer him? I doubt he knows. "Shiki... we found out something quite shocking." I started. He raised his eyebrow in curiosity. "And that would be?" he asked again. "Hikari's your sister." I mumbled. Shiki's jaw dropped and he stopped walking. I turned around to face him. "How could that be? Rido couldn't stand Tsuki. Not only that, but her father was a vampire hunter." Shiki murmured. "Rido... raped Tsuki Kuran." I explained hesitantly.
Shiki's face paled. He turned around and walked away from us. "Tell her I'm sorry..." he mumbled. I sighed, it wasn't his fault his horrible father did that. I just couldn't believe one could do that to family. I began to walk outside, but truth to be told, I was slightly unnerved about Kiryuu finding out about this. He'd probably see her crying, point his bloody rose to my head, and ask me what I did to make her cry. Then I'd have to explain all this again.
As if on cue, I heard a gun load and felt it against the side of my head. "Stop walking." Kiryuu's cold voice demanded. I sighed and stopped in my tracks. "What the hell did you do to make her cry?" he asked. Maybe I shouldn't think so much, I hate being right sometimes. "If I did this would she be letting me carry her?" I asked. He growled in annoyance. "Then what happened?" he asked. "Hikari found out Rido was her father, satisfied?" I growled, getting annoyed with him. His eyes widened. "I'll explain later, Kiryuu, right now she needs to be comforted." I said as I walked into the moon dorms. He never once tried to stop me.
I carried her into our room and gently set her on the bed. She curled up into a ball and lay down on the bed on her side. It was depressing to see her like this. I sat next to her and put her head in my lap. Silent tears streamed out of her eyes. "... A-am I a monster?" she asked sadly. I looked down at her shocked that she would ever ask something like that. "No, of course not!" I exclaimed. "My father is... what he did to mom..." she murmured as more tears flowed out of her eyes. I picked her up and hugged her. "I'm so sorry for what he did..." I mumbled. I felt her hug me back.
"Why did you say he was coming back?" I asked. "Because he said so in my dream... he's after me and someone else... it's not Yuuki, which confuses me because last time he was after her." she answered. I thought about it for a second. He wouldn't come after Shiki as well, he already used him. Rido can't stand Kaname either. I kissed her neck softly. "If he comes back, this time I WILL make sure he never comes back again." I promised darkly. She looked up at me with her big, teary eyes and nodded.
"I'm sorry to cause a scene like that... I just-" "Don't worry about it. You thought Takanashi was your father for eighteen years, it must be hard to find out your real father is.... well, Rido." I interrupted. She sighed and nodded again. "Oh, Shiki says he's sorry." I said, remembering Shiki was a bit upset as well. "What's he apologizing for? He has a sister now. It's not his fault his dad raped my mom." she mumbled. "I'm pretty sure he's alright with having a new sister, he's probably just upset that his father did something like that to his aunt." I explained.
"This sucks..." she murmured. "Well, the night class will be wondering what's wrong." I reminded her. She let out a groan of annoyance and exhaustion. "I don't want to explain this to them." she said. "I'll explain to save you the trouble." I offered. She looked up at me. "You'd do that for me?" she asked. "If it puts you through less pain and stress, of course." I answered. She threw her arms around me in a tight hug. "Thank you." she whispered. I smiled and nodded. "Well, I suppose I'll tell them now." I sighed as I got up. "Okay, I'm going to take a shower." she mumbled as she headed into the bathroom, not even caring to get her clothes. This must be so hard for her. I know it's hard for Kaname as well, but he should have at least notified her of his suspicions. I walked out of the door of our room to go explain to everyone what was going on, worrying about Hikari the entire time.
Hikari's POV
I stepped into the hot water and just stood there and let the water run down my body. I couldn't take this. In ten minutes, I found out so many horrifying things, it almost made me sick again. A part of me was mad at Kaname. He should have told me about it! I know mom was his sister and everything, but I had the right to at least know that Rido COULD be my father, even if he wasn't completely sure. Then again, if I was in his situation, don't know what I'd do. First your little sister loses her memories, then your older sister is raped and eventually killed, then you have to constantly worry about your niece and your sister. I would have probably killed myself if I were him.
I'm glad I have Takuma though. It makes me feel better that I don't have to explain this to everyone, it would just make this all harder to deal with. I'm glad that he's going to be there for me, it will make this discovery better to bear. Poor Shiki though, to find out your father did something else completely ruthless and horrifying. It isn't his fault though, I will have to speak to him later.
I'm afraid Rido is coming back though.... If he does, it's going to be hell for this academy, and it will be partially my fault, if not completely my fault. I sunk down onto the floor and pulled my knees to my chest, letting the hot water beat against my skin. I had to think about what I was going to do, how I was going to avoid everyone getting hurt or killed? If that happened because of me, I probably would kill myself. I could feel tears run down my face again. I laughed bitterly at myself, I'm pathetic. The time comes for me to make sure no one gets hurt because of me and all I do is cry.
Takuma's POV
"What!?" Aido exclaimed, not believing his own ears while the rest of the night class' jaws either dropped or their eyes just got huge. "You heard me." I mumbled, not really wanting to explain it again. "To think that bastard could have done anything worse than he's already done." Kain muttered. "So she's Shiki's sister?" Rima asked. I nodded. "Why didn't Kaname-sama tell her before?" Seiren asked. "He didn't want to believe it himself." I answered. "If he ever comes back, I'm going to kill him." Aido growled, referring to Rido. "Calm down Aido, I can understand you're mad, but we need to stay calm for Hikari's sake, she's emotionally unstable at the moment." I said.
Aido sighed and looked at the floor. "I still can't believe someone would do that to their niece." he muttered. "Where's Shiki?" I asked. "No one knows, we saw him run out to the moon dorms a while ago, he's probably in his room." Rima answered. "Hikari's going to want to speak with him, so I was just wondering." I explained. Everyone nodded in understanding. Now if I could find Kiryuu and explain to him so he wouldn't bother Hikari about it. "I need to go back and check on Hikari." I announced as I turned to leave the room. "Tell her we all feel sorry for her." Aido said. I nodded as I walked out the door.
I walked outside and stopped in the middle of the path. "Kiryuu, I'll explain what's going on." I said. Not two seconds later, he came walking out at stood in front of me with his arms crossed. "Good, now explain to me what the hell is going on." he demanded. "Kaname didn't want to tell Hikari that Rido raped her mom because he wasn't sure of Rido was her father or not, he confirmed today that he was. Then she broke down and I carried her back." I explained. He looked angrier than the time I bit Hikari and he shot me.
"I wish that bastard was still alive, just so I could kill him." he growled. "Hikari thinks he's coming back." I said. His eyes got wide and he let out a low growl. "If he comes onto school grounds again, let me know." he muttered as he walked off. That was easier than I though it would be. I then walked back into the moon dorms to check on Hikari.
When I walked into our room, she was nowhere to be found. "Hikari?" I called. I heard the water running in the bathroom. She was STILL in the shower? I walked up to the door and knocked. "Hikari? Is everything alright?" I asked. I heard nothing on the other end. "Hikari?" I asked again, a little louder. "Come in..." she mumbled. I sighed, put my hands over my eyes, and walked in. "Are you alright?" I asked. ".... I guess. You don't have to cover your eyes, you won't see anything." she answered. I pulled my and off of my eyes and blushed slightly. She just had her knees to her chest and was facing me, which she was right, I didn't see anything, but nonetheless, I was a bit embarrassed.
"The water must be freezing by now." I mumbled as I turned off the water. She didn't move a muscle when I did. I grabbed a towel and draped it around her shoulders. "Thanks." she whispered as she slowly stood up. My face reddened again and I turned around to give her her privacy. I felt her walk beside me and lightly lay her head on my shoulder. "It's alright you know." she said. Before I could ask what she was talking about, she hugged me yet again. "Thank you for being here for me. I love you." she mumbled. I slowly hugged her back, trying to get my mind off of the fact that she was only in a towel and pressing up against me.
"Come on, lets get you dressed." I said softly as I led her into the room. She looked blank, it was scaring me slightly. Was she thinking or what? I handed her a tank top and her shorts. I quickly turned around as I saw her towel start to slightly fall. She must have been in deep thought to not even care about what she was doing at the moment. After a couple moments, she passed me and sat on the bed, still blank. I sat next to her and put my arm around her in comfort. "It will be alright." I assured. She nodded slightly. I smiled and caught her lips with mine.
She slowly responded and wrapped her arms around my neck. "I love you." I whispered. "I love you too." she said.
