Bloodlust

Dreams

Classes had finally ended and I couldn't have been happier. I needed to get some sleep. My head felt like it would explode from all the thoughts that kept crawling through it about him. That's right, I wasn't going to say his name now. Him would do just fine. But he was a beautiful him.

It was like a never ending circle, the more I tried not to think about him; the more he popped up. I was starting to get flustered. I quickened my pace a bit, so I could hide underneath my covers to get away from him and all thoughts of him.

"Senri you're acting…odd today." I glanced to my side, finding Rima looking up at me with concern.

"What do you mean …odd?" I inquired, tracing my tongue over my dry lips.

"Well you haven't quite been yourself today. I'm not quite sure, just a bit more…lazy then usual, I guess." She almost laughed, but I frowned down at her.

"I'm just tired. I'll be fine tomorrow." I said, speeding up a bit more. I ended up being the first one back in the dorms. I headed for my room at once, diving into my bed at once. I snuggled against a velvety red pillow, slightly hungry. Turning over on to my back, I closed my eyes, my books lying somewhere next to my hand.

I saw him, he was walking towards me, slowly, seductively. He had me pinned on the bed, deliberately taking his time as he neared my face. My eyes went to his lips, and I felt myself go red in the face. His lips were almost on mine—

"Senri!" My eyes snapped open and I breathed deeply. I found Aidou standing in my rooms' door, watching me with a smirk on his face. "So what's up with you? I'm usually the tired one!"

The guy was too…nosey and loud. Very loud. "I didn't sleep well." I answered, quietly. He stood in the door for a few minutes, then left most likely bored of my company.

I looked up at the canopy that covered my bed, staring at the black designs as they mixed in with other designs. I thought back to my daydream…and shivered. Getting off my bed, I went straight to my bathroom.

I looked into the mirror, staring into my own blue eyes. I sighed, and then ran the tap, so I could splash cold water onto my face. After I finished, I got out of my bathroom, running a hand through my hair. I closed the door of my room, before striping out of my clothes so I could go to bed. I would eat tomorrow; right now I needed to get my mind off of the boy taunting my very soul.

I closed my eyes, afraid I would see him again. Opening them up, I went back to starring at my canopy. I turned to my side, so that I was facing the dawning sky. There was a knock at my door. I groaned, not wanting to get up. "Come in."

The door opened to reveal Takuma. Was here because I wasn't "myself" today?

"I'm sorry to disturb you Senri, but we have to go into town." He had a sympathetic look on his face. I sighed, getting out of bed.

"So, what happened this time?" I was at my closet, grabbing my green t-shirt, a pair of black jeans and a grey hooded sweater which I quickly got zipped into and soon enough I was standing ready before Takuma. (A/N: Yes I know he just changed in front of Takuma…but I'm quite sure they've done it before seeing as they live in the same dorm as each other. Besides you can picture Senri changing…)

"It's another Z-Vampire." He answered, smiling happily. I always wondered how he could possibly be a vampire…"

"I see…" I mumbled back, looking over his shoulder at the walk down the hallway. He stepped aside so I could get out of my room and we both headed towards the exit. As I walked, Takuma briefed me about the Vampire, he had almost killed two people now; luckily both survived.

He then got completely off topic and started telling me about a childhood memory…What does climbing tress have do to with this? I wondered. I had stuffed my hands into my pockets and walked a step behind Takuma. At least this will get my mind of off Zero…Damn it! I was thinking about him again! I scowled. This was getting to be too frustrating; I needed a little more freedom from my thoughts.

We stepped out into the chilly breeze of the on coming winter. I sighed, my breathe coming out in white puffs. It was amusing how that worked; I smiled softly before getting into the awaiting car. Takuma's tree climbing story had ended but he had started to tell me of how he had almost caught a rare butterfly once.

Really, how was this guy a vampire? The mysteries of the world.

In a few minutes we were in the city and Takuma and I got out of the car, umbrella in hand, since we would most likely get burned if we didn't bring one. I took in a deep breathe and almost immediately sensed the presence of the E-Vampire. It was coming from my right, and I began to walk in the direction, knowing Takuma would follow. A chilly breeze flew into my face and I shivered slightly. Maybe I should have gotten a coat…My hand around my umbrella tightened as the E-Vampires presence heightened.

"He's up ahead," Takuma whispered. I hadn't even noticed Takuma until now but he was walking right in step with me. I was in awe, this guy was amazing. Maybe he was a vampire…

"Mwahahaha!" We heard the coarse voice of a man up ahead and then a scream from a little girl. There was a clashing sound, a scream from the man, who was most likely the vampire. Takuma quickened his pace and before I knew so had I. We reached a deserted street, there stood…Zero Kiryuu. He had a metallic bar up against the E-Vampires neck, and was pressing him against a wall. A little girl no less than five sat crying near the other end of the street. Takuma slashed himself on the thumb with his bare teeth before producing a sword made completely of blood.

"Zero, move!" He yelled. Zero looked behind him, and quickly side-stepped before Takuma slashed the vampire in half. His corpse fell to the ground and Zero stared at it in anger.

"Hi!" Takuma smiled at Zero.

"Why did I have to come?" I whined, seeing as I didn't get to do anything. I could impressed Zero…

"You came in case I couldn't have killed him." Takuma smiled.

Zero stood silently. I glanced over at him, and caught him looking at me. I quickly diverted my gaze and started to walk over to the little girl. She was sobbing, tears falling out of her soft purple eyes like waterfalls. Her eyes reminded me of Kiryuu, damnit, everything reminded me of Kiryuu.

I slowly got down onto my knees to look at the little girl I smiled softly, "It's okay, he's gone now." She looked up at me with her large purple eyes, whimpered a bit and replied, "Really?"

"Yeah, he's gone, forever." I was surprised to hear the voice so close to my ear. It was Zero's, and he was seated right next to me. My eyes widened, and I tried very hard to conceal my red cheeks.

She stopped crying and smiled meekly. "Thank-you."

"It was nothing," I smiled, getting her to her feet. Zero looked up at me, getting up slowly. I stared at him before taking the girls hand. "Where do you live?" I asked her.

"If we leave the street through there, my house is right in front." She mumbled, looking down t her feet, blushing softly.

I smiled.
