Yuuyako's pov

I woke up and sat up slowly in my bed. I looked around and nobody was in sight, but when I turned towards my alarm clock, Kain was sitting up against the wall. I watched him as he sat there with his eyes closed and I sighed. I put my hand on his head and he didn't stir. I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. As I turned the hot water on, I looked at the mirror that I looked at countless times. The same crimson hair, dull green eyes, and the same face. The only thing that changed was the clothes for the seasons. I got undressed and took my shower, scrubbing my skin raw trying to get the invisible blood off of me.

Zero's pov

Yuki was out patrolling the grounds heading towards the Night Dorms to act as bodyguard for the bloodsuckers and I was on my way to the training room. I had just turned the corner of the hallway when I saw Yako's red hair trail behind her as she walked into the main training door. I waited for about a minute until I heard her punching one of the punching bags.

I peeked inside through the open door and I saw my friend punching and kicking madly at the designated sack. I couldn't believe what I saw.

Yuuyako was a calm and collected woman unless you pushed her buttons. She almost never lost her temper and here she was, eyes bright red with blood lust, moving at blinding speeds. She was in a state to where she could kill someone. I stepped through the door and stood there waiting for her to notice me.

I watched her as the sun set lower and lower, and I finally gave a sigh. I looked her over and she hadn't produced any sweat indicating tiredness, and her tank top was low enough in the back to show her tattoo. I got behind her and her elbow came back and I grabbed her arms. She stopped for a second but then grabbed my wrist and flipped me over and I landed on my back, looking up at her.

"Yuuyako, you need to stop." I whispered hoarsely. Her eyes went back to the dull green they became over the years but her pained expression stayed the same.

"I need to get out of here." she said, a single tear escaping down her cheek. I was about to say something but she let go of my wrist and walked right out of the door.

"Yuuyako, what the hell is going on?" I said, and silence answered my question.
