Author's note- I'm somehow managing to get a lot of writing done lately o.O

Chapter 7

Yuuki POV

I bit down. My fangs easily broke skin, allowing the sweet crimson to pool in my mouth. It danced across my tongue and slid down my throat, sending energy through my body like a livewire. A soft moan was muffled by his neck as my eyes glowed a hellish red.

After a few moments I released my hold on his neck; my elongated fangs quickly shrinking back to a relatively human size. I snuggled up closer to him, curling up into a ball. One of his arms was wrapped around me as his other draped off of the couch.

Silence hung in the air for a few moments as thin rays of sunlight poured from the curtained windows. We'd taken to feeding from each other during the day, while the humans were asleep.

"How's your roommate Onii-sama?" I shifted so I could face him.

"Good. He doesn't talk much but he's neat." He added "Unlike a certain blonde" under his breath.

I giggled. "I heard Kain-sempai's roommate is almost as bad as Aido-sempai."

"Well then, I honestly feel sorry for him."

He paused for a moment. "Have you noticed anything strange about your roommate?"

I thought about it for a moment, taking into account all of the quirks I had noticed about Bella.

"An odd thing here and there. I think she might be becoming anorexic. She doesn't each much. I think it's just starting though. I mean, she still looks healthy. Well, other than the fact that she's as pale as a ghost. They all are actually, except for Jacob of course. Do all Westerners look like that?"

Kaname smiled, but his eyes had a calculating look to them. "No, some of them can actually have quite dark colourings. Have you noticed anything else?"

I shrugged. "Not really. She does have a weird obsession with contacts though."

"Contacts?"

"Yeah, coloured ones. They're all pretty much one colour in many different shades. Ranging yellow to black. I have no idea where she keeps them though. Most of the stuff in the bathroom is mine. She doesn't have much space in there."

Kaname continued to think. I waited patiently, wondering what was running through his mind. After a few moments I yawned and both of us realized how late it was.

"You should go to bed Yuuki. Spare Bella from having to deal with a cranky you in the morning." He chuckled.

I gave him a false glare then smiled; leaving with a "Goodnight Onii-sama". In the hallway I passed Seiren. A faint click could be heard as she'd entered the room I'd just left.

I couldn't help but jump to conclusions when I saw that Bella's bed was empty when I got back to my room; the wind fluttering weakly though the slightly opened window. Not after that conversation.

Bella POV

The scent hit my nose and my senses came alive. It was definitely a carnivore, the scent easily distinguishable from a herbivore. The fire in my throat flared, my bloodlust skyrocketing along with it.

The forest rushed by me in blurs of greens and browns. The only constant was Edward. The love of my life was slightly ahead of me. After the effects of being a newborn wore off he reclaimed his position of faster in the family. I'd myself of somehow been given the label of a terrible temper, one far-worse than the one of my human life. Jasper and Carlisle speculated it might've been the side effect of not behaving like a normal newborn. Lucky me.

Luckily for Edward there were two mountain lions, probably a pair of mates, and we wouldn't have to… Actually I don't know what we'd do if that had happened. None of us were getting much of selection when it came to predators these days.

A growl ripped through my throat, one loud enough to warn the beasts that we were closing in on them. They were best to toy with when they had some preparation time. Hey, it might sound cruel but it's a great way to release pent up frustration. When you live around Aido you end up with a lot of it.

Edward reached them first. He quickly separated one from the other, simply wrestling with it until he got into a position that wouldn't wreck his clothes.

I dodged swipes of the cat's paws, effortlessly fluttering about it. Its growls and snarls grew with annoyance and fear until it finally decided to lunge. I met it in the air; my arms encircling its neck as I swung my legs around it. Straddling was one of the best ways to feed and stay clean.

My jaws found its way through course fur and skin. The blood had the slightly bitter, unpleasant taste animals always carried with them (not that I've drunken from a human to compare it too), but soon the burn in my throat lessened. I let out a sigh at the relief.

Edward, like always, had finished before me, the carcass of his cat left unceremoniously on the ground. I dropped mine myself then turned to him. "Maybe a deer or something then we head back?"

"Sure love. We passed a herd on our way here."

I smiled as I took his hand. "Let's head that way then."

It had been an easy matter relocating the herd. I felt satisfied after finishing off a healthy doe (the more healthy the animal the better it tasted.). Edward had taken down a buck. He dusted off his clothes. "We should head back to the Dorm. We've been out here for quite a while."

I nodded. "Yeah. And your roommate seems so…observant. We don't want him noticing anything."

Edward grumbled something, low enough for me not to hear though, presumably about his roommate. We made our way back to the building, keeping a rapid pace. Before I jumped up to my window to swing myself in, we left each other with a good night kiss.

Lazy ass author is lazy and will not be looking over this chapter. I'll probably go back and clean up everything after the story's completed. Especially the prologue. I have to redo that shizzz.-.- I was hoping to get this out before Christmas but…yeah. X3 Hope everyone had a happy holidays!
