As Hazuki sat sipping her tea haughtily, Kouhei stared at her. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. This caught her attention.

"What's with you?" she asked annoyed.

"Hazuki, listen…" he started. Hazuki turned, her Neko Mimi twitching curiously, looking adorable. Kouhei scratched the back of his head nervously and Hazuki made a face.

"Well?" she prompted. Then Kouhei turned to actually look at her and he blushed.

"Uh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it Haz."

Hazuki cocked her head to the side and shrugged. She sipped her tea haughtily again and then stood.

"I'm going out." She suddenly informed him.

"Umm, ok. Where?" he asked scratching the back of his head again. Hazuki shoved her face inches from his.

"WHY IS THAT YOUR BUISNESS?" she demanded angrily.

"I'm not letting you go out alone, no matter what time it is!" he retorted standing.

"Well tonight is the full moon stupid so I'm going out before then."

"You're not finding a new slave are you?" Kouhei asked suspiciously.

"Why, do you want me too?" she snapped.

"I don't care!" he snapped back. Hazuki froze and tears welled up in her eyes. She spun around and stalked out of the room. Kouhei smacked himself in the head.

"Hazuki wait, I didn't mean that!" he called. There was no answer. "Well, she can't do anything till midnight anyways…or can she?! Hazuki!" Kouhei raced out to find her.

Hazuki wiped her eyes angrily. That no good jerk! Doesn't he remember what happened last time he said that?! Humph! Well, see if I care! I'll find a new slave, one I can rely on! Hazuki wandered into the street still wearing only Kouhei's oversized shirt as a pajama. She sat on the side of the fountain like last time and waited for a man to pass.

"Hazuki!" Kouhei called. Suddenly he saw her and she was not alone. Hazuki was sitting on the ground hunched over someone kissing them, and not as a vampire. "Hazuki!" Kouhei exclaimed angrily. He ran towards the two figures and they disappeared. Kouhei stopped short and realized he had been imagining it. Was that really what he was worried about? Not her finding a new slave, but being with that slave continuously? Kouhei shook his head of those thoughts and turned around. Then he spotted her again. "Hazuki?" the figure didn't move. It was watching a man walk closer to the fountain. Kouhei ran over to the figure. "Haz, is that you?" then the figure leaped.

"YOU IDIOT! You disturbed my hunting AGAIN! If you don't want to be my slave FINE! But don't interfere when I try and find a new one!" Hazuki pulled on the corners of his mouth again and Kouhei tried to pull away.

"Hazuki!" he grunted sounding more like Ha-u-ki. She ignored him and continued to pull. Then Kouhei reached out and grabbed her around the waist. Hazuki stopped pulling in surprise.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU JERK!" she shouted and began pulling again. Kouhei went and tugged the shirt she was wearing down lower and then the realization "hit" her like a pot. Hazuki leapt off and stared down at her feet with her hands up at her mouth.

Kouhei ignored her and massaged his jaw. "Jezz, Haz. You've got a pretty tight grip there." She didn't answer and he turned to look at her. "What-?"

"Thank you…" she whispered still looking at her toes.

"Huh?" Kouhei blushed. "Oh. Yeah. Well, I told you it was too short."

Hazuki nodded.

"Let's go home now Big Brother." She said.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" he asked.

"Huh?" Hazuki looked up and Kouhei grinned.

"A kiss?" he asked. Hazuki smiled appreciatively and hugged him.

Kouhei knelt on his knees and pulled his shirt away from his neck leaving it open. Hazuki smiled and bent over him. She gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek and Kouhei blushed bright red but didn't move. Then Hazuki bent over and sunk her fangs into his neck as gently as she could all the time thinking:

"Thank you Big Brother…"
