Chapter One

Zoey's POV

Things haven't felt normal for the last few months. It was almost as if killing Neferet brought forth a new wave of dangers. We had to be on our toes at all costs. I, on the other hand, had became the High Priestess of the Tulsa, Oklahoma House of Night.

Tonight, I had a rather short meeting with one of my friends, who just so happened to be a tracker. He was getting ready to leave on a trip to Japan to pick up a new person. He handed me an envelope and encouraged me to open it. Of course, he knew who it was already.

I could only stare at the paper inside. It really couldn't be, right? She was going to be coming to Tulsa. My best friend who had moved to Japan once she knew that I had became a vampyre. Haruhi Fujioka. Of course, we still kept in touch whenever possible. But, by Nyx, what is going on? I wanted to join in on going to meet her personally.

"Say, Eric, would you mind if I also come along on this trip to Japan? This person had been a friend of mine and I don't think that I could wait to see her until she gets here in a few days." I asked curiously.

"What about your duties as a High Priestess? You need to choose a new student soon to begin mentoring anyways." Eric responded calmly.

"Most of them can wait. As long as the students are by an adult vampyre they won't need me for a couple days. So, I can come. After all, I'll only be gone for three days tops if we have to stay there. But, hopefully she will come with us willingly and we can be back here before the second day. When are you having to leave?" I asked Eric again.

"Tomorrow. I can sense her hormones starting to change from here. Now, finding out where she would be would be the next problem." Eric muttered.

"Not to worry about that Eric. I know the two places she generally is. First place is at the school known as Ouran Private Academy. The other place is at an apartment complex. I want to go to the apartment complex first when we get to Japan. I need to speak with her father, then we can deal with Haruhi. Can we leave tonight so that we are there tomorrow?" I spoke lowly.

"That could be arranged. I presume you wish to have an hour's time to call your circle in to give them the gist of what is going on?" Eric told me.

"Basically. Not to mention to pack something other than this robe." I told him just before I dismissed him to go do the same. In that time, I had reached out with telepathy to each of my circle members to let them know that I was going to be out of the country for a few days on business. I politely reminded them to keep an eye out on the students. If anyone needed anything, to call me. If someone was changing, talk to Dragon. After all, he had done those ceremonies so many times, he would know what to do anyways. I had to tell them that there would not be any Dark Daughters and Sons meeting for the next couple nights too. I would let them all know when we could have one.

That took about half an hour's worth of communicating, so I took off to my quarters so that I could pack a pair of jeans and a t-shirt for when we landed. I also added in the special tattoo concealer to my bag, on top of all my other accessories. Twenty minutes after the end of the communication, I was back down at the front doors, waiting for Eric to show up. He showed up five minutes after I did. From there, we took a car that had tinted windows to the airport and onto the chartered plane from the Tulsa House of Night.

Haruhi's POV

Ugh! I don't know what has been going on with me lately. I have been feeling a bit sluggish. Much like I generally do whenever I have a cold. I really hoped that was not going to be the case. Maybe I could talk to Dad to see if there was anything I could get for this wannabe cold.

I found him in the kitchen, making breakfast. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling very hungry that morning either. Which was extremely unusual.

"Um, Dad. Do we happen to have cold medicine to stop a cold from happening?" I asked him.

He turned around to look at me and could do nothing but stare for a few minutes. I knew I looked like crap already, and I wasn't about to want to hear it.

"Honey, you don't look so swell. Are you sure you want to go to school today?" My father asked.

"Dad, I need to go in order to keep up my grades for this scholarship I am on, remember? I guess I will have to do without it. I will talk to you later, Dad!" I waved as I rushed out of my apartment complex to get to school.

The sun really hurt my eyes, even if the day was also slightly cloudy. Curses to not being able to afford a pair of simple sunglasses. So, I did the only thing I could think of. I picked up my pace a bit more than I was used to so that I could get to the school a lot quicker.

The day wore on, and I was really starting to feel horrid. I should have took my dad's advice to stay home. Oh well, too late now. I would have to suffer through club time too, before I managed to be able to go home. Club was closed for today, for some strange reason. Perhaps the twins had ran ahead of me again to let the others know. But, I was grateful.

I hadn't been there long, trying to get why we were closed for today out of my senpais. They claimed that we needed to have a cosplay meeting. Though, just as we were about to start the meeting, a boy possibly a year older than I, burst through the door.

"Haruhi Fujioka, Night has chosen thee!" After that phrase, my head hurt even worse, though my cold symptoms suddenly had disappeared.

"Ha~ru~hi! It has been awhile since I last saw you!" A girlish voice rang out. I couldn't place it quite yet, considering that my head still hurt like hell.

"Um, who are you and why did you say such a corny line?" I more than pointedly asked the male, while trying to figure out the other female. Her features looked familiar, yet they were that of a stranger's to me yet.

"It's just the way we mark our people. My name is Eric Night. I am here with our High Priestess." The boy named Eric was saying before I cut him off.

"High Priestess..Meaning…Zoey! It really has been too long. Congratulations on finally becoming High Priestess!" I squealed as I made my way to where the girl was before giving her a giant hug.

"Haru-chan, you know English?" Honey-senpai asked. I forgot that everyone in the room currently with me also knew some English.

"Why didn't you" Hikaru started.

"Tell us?" Kaoru finished.

"Yes, Honey-senpai, I know English. It's one of my native tongues, actually. The other being Japanese. As for why I didn't tell you, you didn't ask nor did the need ever arise. Zoey, do you have anything for a migraine? I was wondering about cold medicines too, but those symptoms disappeared rapidly once I got this marking that I won't see for awhile yet." I replied to my senpai and friends before I had switched back to English for Zoey. Though, I had spoke too soon since I had a cough rake my body.

"Haruhi, you really should come back with us tonight. You need to be inside the school. Come along now. Actually, give me a second. We need to cover up that tattoo away from the other human's eyes.
