A/N: So, I finished Chapter 7 about…. Two hours ago, but, I didn't get to post it yet since I'm at my grandmother's house and she doesn't have internet. I'm currently typing this sitting in a Lay-Z-Boy chair in her living room watching RED. Well, she's watching it, I watched it in February. I'm going to start Chapter eight now if you're all okay with it.

Ichiru wrapped his arms around Circe as they lay on his bed together. "I'm proud of you girl, I really am."

Circe smiled and snuggled closer to her cousin, "Thanks" after they got back from the session, Circe took a nice warm shower to get all of the sweat off of her. She hadn't even sweated that much on her move vigorous work outs. It had taken a lot out of her, and she was so tired. Yet, she still had to go on patrol later, so she and Ichiru were resting together. They didn't know where Zero had gone.

"Your hair is so soft. Just like Zero and I's. It glistens when it's wet also." Ichiru ran his fingers throughout her long hair. "Sit up and hand me the brush, comb, and hair band." He ordered, getting an idea

"But I'm so tired and warm and comfy right now." She nestled deeper into the blankets and closed her eyes.

"Just do it please." He begged.

"Fine." She got up and it looked like silver water ran down her back. Her hair had grown since she arrived, and know it was down below her butt.

When she went to lay back down, Ichiru pushed her up. "Sit up, I'm going to braid your hair just like I used to."

"Okay!" Circe smiled as Ichiru began to run the brush through her long locks. "You know, I don't remember much of anything when I lived her before. My only memories are from the States. I don't even know why we moved there in the first place. I hardly remember you guys, or them even mentioning other family. Did they get in a fight?"

Ichiru split her hair into three equal sections and began to work it into a tight braid at the base of the roots. "I don't remember. If they did, they never told us. I remember you though. I didn't even know you left. One day, after school, Zero and I went to go to your house and no one was there."

Circe frowned, "I wonder why. I wish I knew. Maybe if they never got in a fight, they would all still be alive." Ichiru was quiet as he got to the halfway point in her hair. He finished up quickly.

"Go, get changed out of your sweat pants and t-shirt and put your uniform on. It's time to go patrol." He patted her arm as he got up.

Circe and Yuuki tired holding the girls back as they tried to attack the Night Class. Circe laughed as Yuuki was stumbling around keeping balance. She was standing firm, that is, until a girl forcefully elbowed her in the ribs.

Circe took a quick breath and could feel a bruise forming. She dropped to the ground and wrapped an arm around her body. A few girls tried to run past her, but were scared when she growled "Stay the hell back you idiots. Don't you dare cause me to move, it will hurt me and piss me off. Trust me; you don't want me pissed off at you." She took another sharp breath from the pain.

"Circe? Are you okay?" Someone leaned down beside her and hesitantly rested their hand on her head. The girls around her gasped.

"No." She gritted through her teeth. It hurt mare every second, every breath she took.

"What happened?" The male voice beside her sounded worried.

"Ribs, bruised," A pain shot in her chest, "maybe broken."

"C-can I pick you up? You know who this is, right?" she shook her head. "It's Senri."

"Shiki," She tried to smile, but it turned into a grimace, "Yes, just... make it stop hurting."

Gingerly, the maroon haired vampire picked the girl up. All the Day Class girls around them gasped and cried out that their idol was touching someone who was not them.

"Kaname, help me." Shiki slowly walked over to the Pureblood. "She's hurt, they broke her rib."

"Is that Circe?" Aido yelled, "What did you idiots do?" he glared at the Day class students. Most of the Night Class was slightly protective of the girl. Kaname had wanted them to help her and get to know her, so they had become accustomed to her, even though she couldn't really stand most of them.

"Circe!" Zero ran over to Shiki, "Give me her."

"No!" Circe gasped in pain as she was jolted. "No more moving hurts too much. Just, take me inside."

"Senri, you can go with Kiryuu and take the girl to Headmaster Cross, we'll see you in a bit." Kaname lead the rest of the Night Class to the school.

"I think she shouldn't have a lesson Friday now." Shiki looked at Zero. "Look at all this progress she's made today alone. I held her hand, and now I'm carrying her."

Zero didn't answer.

Twenty minute later, Circe was taped up and pumped with drugs to help with the pain. Zero stood, trying to hold her up.

"Zero! Look….." she pointed at empty space. "ittsa a a a fairy!" there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" she screamed as she tripped her way to the door way and ripped it open.

"Hello Circe," Kaname held up the small girl as she fell again. "I just came to see how she was; many of the Night Class was worried about her, mostly Shiki and Kain, being how close they are to her."

Zero nodded to the vampire. "She'll be out of school tomorrow, no patrolling either. We don't want to leave her, but we don't know what to do."

"I can leave someone with her if you want." Kaname offered.

"No, we're giving her a break from vampires for now." Zero watched as Circe leaned against the brown haired vampire, something she would never do normally.

"OH MY GODS!" The men flinched as the young one shrieked "I LEFT THE OVEN ON!"

Zero walked over and scooped his cousin up. "We don't have an oven." He nodded to Kaname, "Thanks for checking on her." With that, Zero left for his room.

Ichiru opened the door to find a solemn brother and a seemingly drunken cousin. "Umm… what happened?"

"You didn't notice? Some girl broke her rib. She allowed Shiki to carry her to the Headmaster's. He taped her up and gave her some drugs to help with the pain. She's not going to school tomorrow, and now lessons till Monday." Zero walked over to his bed and set Circe down.

"When'd we get water beds?" Circe fell over sideways, hair covering her face. She giggled hysterically.

"Circe, how are you honey?" Ichiru carefully walked over to her as Zero went to get ready for bed.

"I'm mazin… I'm…awesome, Hell… I'm fuckin empic!" She reached blindly for him. "Come 'ere..."

Ichiru leaned over Circe, and she pulled him onto the bed with her. She curled up on his lap and fell asleep.

*SNAP*

"What was that?" Ichiru blinked wildly at his brother.

"I took a picture, you looked so cute." Zero smiled.

"You smiled! Circe didn't see it, she'll be so sad." Ichiru looked at the sleeping child.

"Here," Zero threw him the camera and smiled again, "Take a picture of it and show her tomorrow"

"Okay," Ichiru quietly put the camera on video and taped the conversation he was about to have with his brother. "Isn't she wonderful?" he asked

"Yea," Zero kept smiling. "I'm glad she found us. Now that she's been here for a week and two days, I can't imagine life without her. I love her."

"Me too." Ichiru clicked the camera off; he couldn't wait to show Circe in the morning.

A/N: Wow! That was the quickest I've ever written a chapter! I'm totally amazed! It also means double posts when this is put up. If you're finding the story kind of boring. Sorry! It's about to get a LOT better, I promise!
