Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Black Blood Brothers characters. The characters I own are only Sydney, Del, Heather, Camilla, Anna, Alex, and Autumn.

Autumn's POV

This really can't be good. I hope I don't have to deal with Zelman. He may have been my favorite character in the show, but right now I really can't stand the guy. Mimiko started off, "So first of all, Heather will be staying with me since we seem like we should get along best." I looked over at Heather as she stood."Sure I guess. I was actually hoping I wouldn't get stuck with a guy." She walked to Mimiko and stood beside her. "You know, I think its best that we all stand by and stick with whoever stays with us." She said loud enough for everyone to hear. That's actually a pretty good idea. "That's right."Mimiko agreed. "Now next is Jiro. Jiro, you'll be staying with Del." She gave a large grin. Del returned that grin. Both Del and Jiro stood with smiles on their faces. Del took a moment to whisper something to Mimiko. I wonder... She then went back to Jiro.I could see them making conversation. Though to quite to hear. I figure that she's planning something.

"After them is Cassandra. You'll be staying with Camilla. This was one of those last minute decisions." I was kinda confused at her decision. I cocked an eye brow. 'Just how does that work?' I thought. They went next to Jiro and Dell and didn't talk at all. That's surprising. Usually Camilla talks up a storm. That should be an interesting pairing.

"Now you Kotaro will get to stay with your cousin Anna."Anna and Kotaro ran to each other in an almost 'television dramatic' type run. They hugged each other with Anna picking him up and swirling around in circles. His teddy greeted him as he landed. I could hear them talking about teddy bears and stuffed animals. I really don't get how Anna can get along with kids so well. I know that's her cousin, but even with other kids she's like their mother. It's almost inhuman how much she can tolerate them.

"Alex will be with Sei."Cain jerked his head up. He then followed Sei as he walked to Alex. "Wait Cain! You're not going with him! You have to stay with Sydney!"Mimiko shouted."No! I have to stay with Sei! I won't leave him alone with this man!"He was trying to get to Sei while Mimiko tugged on the back of his shirt. "But you'll be right next door!"When Mimiko shouted this valuable piece of information, he stopped trying to pull away. In result she fell backwards. She then stood up and wiped the dirt off her.

'Back to reality Autumn. Remember that annoying, arrogant, egotistical jerk that hit you in the head with his drink. Just focus on praying that you don't get stuck with him. 'Ah!' I glanced over to see whose left. Unfortunately, the only person left is Zelman. Man does my luck seriously suck today? First I get hit with a coke can and now this. Can it get any worse?"Question."I said standing and raising my hand as if I was in class. "Why did you put us two together?"Mimiko smiled and Del did the same. They dragged Jiro and Heather along so Mimiko and him were beside each other."Because you two look like you get along so well, and-""-and your favorite person from Black Blood Brothers is Zelman! So it fits!"They talked like annoying twins. I don't understand why those two didn't end up together. Although, only one of them could have come up with this and that person is Heather who was laughing, hard. The only one of the two that know who my favorite character is. Of course, I couldn't ever count out Del. No wonder she was whispering to Mimiko when she got up there. She probably told her to do this. Man she really annoys the hell out of me.

Zelman's POV

'What?' I thought almost choking on my own breathing cycle. 'Did I really just hear that her favorite out of everyone else was me? Oh she is never going to live this down.' I smirk. She jerked her head in my direction. She looked worried. I stood and slid my hands into my pockets. I pulled out a cigarette and snapped my fingers to light it. A smile danced across my lips. We then walked on straight and stood beside each other. "Nice to see you again, Autumn."I glanced over at her."Yeah, nice to see ya'." She kept her eyes closed and faced towards the now covered sun. She was purposely ignoring me. A small frown came across my face. I then shook off the enjoyment that was lost and looked at the sky behind me. 'How did I end up like this again?'

Heather's POV

Well this could become interesting. I'm going to have Mimiko Katsuragi staying at my home. Good thing my wish came true. Now I won't be stuck with a guy that my brother will embarrass me about. "So I guess we should go."I told Mimiko. "Yeah." She said with a smile. "I've had a long day. I am so tired." She said as she hung her head down. "Yeah, I know the feeling."I bowed my head in shame. Mimiko lifted her head then. She put her hand in a fist and said in the most confident tone she could," Let's go home everyone!" Everyone else just glanced over or smiled. Kotaro being the one who hopped onto Anna's back. We then all began to walk home.

Heather's POV

We made it to our neighborhood. And when I say 'our' neighborhood I mean it literally. We are the only ones who live here. It's really nice. The relative decision of calling it a 'neighborhood' comes from the fact that we live on the end of a huge amount of houses. We all are split up evenly. We have about ten acres or so each. I know that sounds like it could be a lot or a little, but for us it's a little. We come to each other's houses just about every day, so there are no fences between our houses. On one side of the road is first my house. Then beside mine is Anna's house. After that is Del's house. Autumn's house is on the end.

On the opposite side of the road there was first Alex. Then it was Sydney's house. Last its Camilla's house and a house getting built on after that. I wonder who's going to move in there. I doubt anyone would since we usually bring a stereo outside and put in our music. We party all the time. Since we are the only ones on this road of the large neighborhood, we can do whatever we want and it not disturb others.

I lead Mimiko to our house while the others do the same with whoever they're staying with. I turn around just before we walk into the house. "Shouldn't all of you watch to see what house each of you are at? I figure that you guys might want to know that much at least." I looked at Mimiko with a blank expression while unconsciously blocking the door. "No. I think we can pretty much tell." She looked over to her side and then behind her. "I'm probably the only one who really wants to know. But thanks for asking anyways." She smiled a large smile. I looked next door to Anna's house to see Kotaro scanning the area. Past that, Jiro is doing the same thing. I look past that and notice Autumn grabbing something away from Zelman. In front of us everyone is doing the same that Mimiko did. I guess we all had the same idea. I then walked into my house only to get a greeting from my little brother. He's only a year younger than me, but that just means that I have to deal with him at school too. Dad's not home yet. 'This is going to really suck.'

I go straight towards my room. My little bro blocking the way in."Move now." I ordered him. "Who's the girl?" He obviously forgot what I've told him a hundred times."I told you that we were going to have a guest over for a while! She is the girl who plays Mimiko on Black Blood Brothers! Do you not remember this?" I glared at him with my hands on my hips."Whatever." He said as he started to walk to his room which was only on the other side of the hallway. Our house isn't the biggest there is but it's not the smallest either. We walked into my bed room and I sat down on my bed. I pointed at the bed on the other side of my room. There was a desk beside it too. "Sorry about there not being too much room, but at least there is some room." She dragged her suitcase and the few files she holds to that side of the room. "It's fine. I'm used to small places." I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take this as a compliment or insult. 'I guess this arrangement could work.'

I hear the door open then close. Either dad's home or bro is just going outside. "I'm home!" I'm guessing that's dad. "Let's go introduce you to dad." Mimiko and I got up to go to the living room.

We made it in there and dad dropped his bag as he gave a confused face. "Whose she?" He asked. "Did everyone in this house forget?"

Anna's mom's POV

I was on my way home from work and traffic was horrible. I don't get how it can be this bad. I started to pull up in the drive way. 'I bet Anna's home with Kotaro by now. '

I figured we would take care of Kotaro since he is my cousin. I got out of the car and grabbed a grocery bag. We were out of milk and I figured that Kotaro and Anna might both want to have some chocolate. I bet I'm right. Kid's love candy.

I walked into my home. It doesn't look like Anna's set anything on fire yet. I walk into the kitchen and set down the groceries on the island. "Hey Anna! Kotaro! I'm home! How is it that we can run out of milk so fast?" That last part I ask myself. Anna comes running into the room with Kotaro at her side. "Hey mom! Guess what? Kotaro's here!" She pulled Kotaro in front of her for proof. Not that I needed it or anything. "Well that's great. Here you too." I reached into the grocery bag and pulled out a huge chocolate bar and a jar of peanut butter. "I thought we should celebrate his coming here." Anna's face lit up at the site of the peanut butter as Kotaro did the same for the chocolate."Thanks Mom!" Anna shouted as loudly as possible as she ran to hug me. I almost fell into the fridge since I was putting away the milk when she hugged me."Get off me before I beat you. Now let go." I had a hold on the fridge door frame."Sorry about that." She let go and ran to put the jar of peanut butter back in her room.

I looked at Kotaro."Now Kotaro, you should know that no one knows your all vampires. Right?" Kotaro looked at me with a big smile as he took a huge bite out of the chocolate."Yep!" He said that so loudly that I hoped Anna didn't hear. "Shh. Please be a little bit quieter. We don't want Anna to hear us."He then put a finger in front of his lips."Kay."He said in a hushed tone and really cute voice. I just wanted to hug him right then and there, but I bet that Anna has hugged him past the point of it hurting.

Anna came running back into the room."Does anybody else want to watch Black Blood Brothers?" She asked in almost a yell."No!"I shouted before Kotaro could say anything. 'Kotaro doesn't know he's the reincarnation of Alice yet. He doesn't need to know now.' Anna and Kotaro both looked at me strange."Then I guess me and Kotaro can watch it in my room. Although we won't be able to watch all of it since you only got me the first disc." Oh. I forgot about that."That's fine then."I put my hand on the island for balance. 'She almost gave me a heart attack.'"But don't worry Kotaro! We can just watch the rest of it on ."She smiled looking at Kotaro. I didn't catch what she said until seconds later."Wait Anna! Don't you remember? You've been grounded from your computer for until he leaves."Anna gave me a sad look."But Mom, you never said I was grounded." I tried to come up with an excuse."Well you are now!" She let go of Kotaro's hand and looked at me with an even more pitiful face."But mom, why?" She sounded like a little baby."Because I said so! That's why! Now stop complaining!" She hunched over as a sign of defeat."Okay…" She then walked over to her room with Kotaro.

Taking care of a teenage daughter could not be harder.

Autumn's POV

I stand in front of Zelman as he sits on my couch. He makes himself comfortable. Just before we came inside I had to tell him that he can't smoke in the house. When he said that he didn't care I snatched the cigarette away and threw it to the ground. Once he is sitting down and 'looks' comfortable, he looks up at me."What is there something wrong with me sitting here?" He takes out a cigarette. About to place it in his mouth, I take it from him."First rule, which I shall mention again, no smoking in the house! No smoking outside either for that matter. It's bad for your lungs." He looks up at me tiredly."Since when has that mattered?"I'm really starting to get annoyed now."Well it should."

I walk to the door and step outside to throw out the cigarette. Once I throw it out I walk back into my house. I gently shut the door behind me and then went to sit down on the couch opposite Zelman. 'How did I get in this mess?' I glanced at him only to see him sitting there and looking at me. He almost had a confused look about him."What?" I enquired."You said 'first rule' so I figured that you had more 'rules' to tell me."I'm kinda surprised he said that. It doesn't seem like he would ask about the rules since he seems to not like them."Well I guess there are some. No smoking, as I've already said. Try not to drink to many drinks in one day. We don't need to spend a lot of money since we don't have too much money right now. The only other thing I can think of is to stick to your room. Entry to my room or my mother's room is not permitted. Speaking of rooms, your room should be done by tomorrow. Sorry about the inconvenience but we didn't expect you to be here so soon." I was trying to be polite so obviously it didn't sound like I was."If you didn't know we would be here today than how did you know to wait for us at the school entrance?" I gave a blank expression."Well, the office called us of course." He rested back into the couch."I'm fine with that. I'll just sleep on the couch for tonight. It's not a problem."

We sat for a few minutes in silence. After what seemed to be ten minutes, the silence exited the room because of a, "I'm home!" coming from my mother."How was school today Autumn?"I lifted my head to look at her. "Fine. You?" She looked down at me."Unusually well actually. Oh! Is that you Zelman?"He looked up to her. She ran in front of him and looked down at his eyes."It must be you. There are those gorgeous red eyes of yours."She stood up straight and backed up a little as she smiled."Thank you Miss. Thomason."

"So did you get done cleaning your room of your things Autumn?" I tilted my head in confusion."What did you say?"She looked at me with an equally astonished look."You do remember that I told you to get your things to the guest room before our guest got here right?" This is news to me."But I thought that he was going to stay in the guest room since he is a guest after all." She then put her hands on her hips and spoke in a strict tone of voice."I told you that yesterday! Now listen to me and move the rest of your things."I looked at her with a almost tired look."Fine." I said as I started to walk into the hallway. 'Wait a second…'I raced back into the room and had to hold on to the edge of the couch for me to not run into Mom. "What do you mean 'the rest' of my stuff? You moved my things?"She smiled as she sat down in the place I was."I came home during my lunch break and moved most of it."I stood shocked."You went through my stuff. You went through….my stuff. Don't you need my permission to do that?"She just looked at me as she placed a hand over her collar bone."Honey, I'm your mother. It's the other way around. That is until pigs fly."I then stood straight and gave her a blank look just like I gave Zelman."Well there was that one time…""Just go clean your stuff out of your room!"I held my hands up in defeat."Okay, okay, no need to go postal on me. Save that for your co-workers and whatever guy I end up with."I turned and walked to my room, only to find a few scraps of things on the floor."How long is your lunch break anyways?"I stood at the door way to my room."Long enough!"I could hear my Mom shout from the living room. This is not going to be fun.

-Black Blood Brothers-Black Blood Brothers-

I got done getting my stuff put away. "Finally I'm done."I sighed in relief. I got up to go to the living room where Zelman and Mom defiantly are. I step out of the room and grab at the door…..huh? 'Where did the door handle go?' I turned around. The reminder that there is no door just popped in my head."Mom, were you planning on getting the door on here tonight?"I looked toward the general direction of the living room."Well since I got home so late I was planning on getting that done tomorrow."She spoke to me as she walked beside me in the hallway."What do you mean tomorrow? I'm going to have to get dressed in that time period and I don't feel good about that without privacy."She looked down at me and gave the most sympathetic face she could muster."Well if you're so worried about changing clothes than you can just change in the bathroom."Is she really saying this?"But the main bathroom is the only working bathroom."I yelled this in a whisper. I didn't want Zelman to hear this conversation."I'll work on it best I can tomorrow. You can survive until then."I looked at her with the only pathetic face I could possibly come up with.

We made our way to the living room. I sat down on whichever of the two couches were closer. Letting my head fall I sighed."What's wrong this time?" Unexpectedly that couch was the one Zelman was sitting at. I jumped at the sound of his voice. He really startled me."It's nothing. Just some issues me and Mom are having." I closed my eyes since it was already eight o'clock and I had to go to school tomorrow. I was so tired already. 'Moving those boxes is a real hassle.' I laid back and rested my head on the back of the couch with my eyes still closed. I felt like I was going to pass out right then and there. But what was that? Something kept the rest of my hair from coming back to me. I opened my eyes slightly and glanced over in the direction from which I think my hair got caught at.

To my side was a hand. It sat between me and some of my hair. The hand looked rather pale. I turned my head in the opposite direction. My eyes rested on a red head wearing a beanie and a track suit about a foot away from me. His arms lay rested on the back of the couch.

'Yikes!' I jump up off the couch and land on the other one after tripping over the coffee table. 'I have never done that before and never will again.' Once on the other couch I grab hold of my right ankle. I hit it on the coffee table and that caused my little leap. Zelman gave me a odd look."What was that all about?"I looked at him with an alert face. My face made of red."It's nothing. I just saw a spider. That's all."I sat up and rested one hand on my head and laid the other in my lap."Your face says otherwise." I winded my eyes a small amount when he said this."That's a strange thing to say."I gave a nervous laugh. 'Why was his face so serious?'

"So who's ready to eat?"Mom walked in the room holding a plate in each hand. I smiled at the site of her. The one person who would not make me be alone with him. She set the plates down and went to put her shoes on at the door. I looked in her direction."Where are you going Mom?"She looked at me and explained."Well I already ate on the way home, and I have to go to the store so I'll see you two later. If you want anything else later Zelman, than you can just ask Autumn. She knows where everything is. Since you're staying here you should get her to give you the tour of the house. Anyways, I'm going to go now so see you later."She then walked out the door leaving us alone. Never mind, she is in fact the one person who WOULD leave me alone with him. This cannot go well.
