Chapter 9

I don't want to sound like I'm nagging but PLZ PLZ Review! I want to know if I'm doing good or bad.

Oh yeah, Kaito's family past isn't excatly a happy one.

One day, his siblings just disappeared and Kaito never saw them again. This made his dad extremely protective of his only heir and groomed him to be King. Kaito hated this and began to grow the introverted and sadistic vampire in Chapter 1.

On with the show!

(I'm quite surprised that people actually read this.)

I could sense a ray of light piercing through the curtain of my "room" but that wasn't the thing that awoke me.

Avi mewed softly in my ear and nuzzled my nose. I must say, this cat seemed to make my life more enjoyable. If only I had her back then...

"OI! WAKE UP SHION!"

It's been a part of a regular schedule to hear that paranoid voice ring through my ears. If I didn't wake up, I'd get an uneccesary cold bath. And if I even slept through that, then I'd get slapped hard.

Apparently, little "Kuo-chan's" cooking ability was even worse than mine. Which was saying something, judging that I had never cooked a single meal in my "life". So to avoid potential food poisoning, I'd follow Miku to her school. Heh, she's SO easy to tail that even a the loudest human alive could follow her and she wouldn't notice.

Still, I couldn't help but feel this sensation inside my chest whenever she dropped something and bent down to pick it up. Oh, that's right. That's the exact same position before I feasted upon that delicious blood. But, did I really hurt her? Did I really...kill her? WHAT am I thinking? There's no way that I'm actually worried for her. After all, if I bring that up again, it'll only bring back bad memories for...AGH!

Damn this curse! Is this some kind of "after effect"? I cannot and won't live on like this.

Everytime I arrived at school, Miku would finally turn around to see me and say:

"Oh, Kaito? You came to school with me again? Well, I'm glad you came!"

This girl is something else. She would say those words to anyone else I bet. Some part of me wondered that if I was just a person (Or rather vampire) that recieved the same treatment as anyone would.

It took me awhile but finally, I gave into joining Miku and her "friend" for lunch. I could easily sense that the surrounding people were staring at us while Miku was completely oblivious.

I still hung the hood above my face and the sleeves still covered my gross mutilated hands. So basically, to any other human, I am the creepy loner that would join a girl for lunch. Luckily, Miku was kind enough (heck, she's too kind for her own good) to share her lunch with me. I'll admit, her cooking has improved a tad bit when she makes it for herself.

Or maybe she knew that she would share it with you. Some annoying voice piped up

Hush up. No one asked you. And I quickly shut that voice down.

"...hey Kaito, since you come here so often, how about you enroll Vocaloid Academy?" Miku broke off my thought.

"Why..." I started but then thought 'What else could I do? There's nothing to do at her house.' "..not?"

I braced myself for her reaction. She exploded with happiness and literaly tackled me with a hug. But she stopped when a certain blonde cleared his throat. Len's eyes narrowed at our "little" hug. Heh, is this human actually jealous? I smirked back at him, only to recieve and glare of pure hatred.

"Isn't it great Lenny? Kaito will be classmates with us!"

Len squirmed at that. He also looked really hurt but quickly sent a quick look that I translated into 'You may have won this time but I will win'. Wait a minute, win what? Miku? She is NOT a prize toy that you would just. The nerve of this human!

So you're defending Miku?

No. I am merely justifying my own words. Didn't I already tell you to get out of my head?

"C'mon Kaito-san! Let's get you enrolled!" Miku called happily.

I smirked at Len before heading after Miku.

We headed off towards of rather large office that seemed to be inhabited by one person, a "principle". Sigh, must humans be so what's the word? So, so, tight? They have too many rules, laws and several people that take charge. Well, in the vampire society, the monarchy holds power but it's the senate that keeps the troubles at bay. I never really wanted to rule, I just wanted to "live" on and be completely free. Apparently even humans aren't any different than us.

No. WE vampires are supreme and second to none! Don't you ever forget that!

"Um, excuse me sir. My brother would like to enroll this school." Miku said hesitantly. This was the first time I ever saw her like this, slightly nervous and not bubbly at alll.

A dark figure was sitting in a very large chair. I found myself shivering from his mere presence. Who is this guy?

"You know the regulations, Hatsune. He either must have a recommendation or take the test; what will it be?"

"I'll take the test, sir." I spoke for the first time. I had no idea where this sudden burst of energy came from. It was if I was still a vampire: confident and assured. (A/N: There's no way that he'd admit that he was a jerk and arrogant).

"Sing"

The sudden order caught me off guard. He wanted me to sing? Was this the test? Hmph, it's simply pathetic for something so trivial to be a test. Oh well, this'll be easy.

Or will it? I rarely, if ever, sang. Even as a vampire I only sang for her. Many girls, vampire and human would be bewitched by my once angelic voice. Now, I found my voice to be rusty, rough and slippery. Ah well, at least I'll try for Miku's sake.

Really? For Miku's sake? Are you sure this isn't for you?

Of course. I replied to the thought.

I started to sing the only song I knew, Meiko had taught it to me and would sing it everywhere she went. I suppose that she sang it so often that the song was now permanently glued into my head.

I started out slightly lower than usual but then gradually opened up in the song. I was actually surprised that my voice still mananged to make some magic.

Miku silently gasped at my little song. Heh, I bet that she had no idea that I could do this. I bet even the Principle was shocked at that too; I felt him shift uneasy in the chair.

"You pass, Kaito-"

"Shion" I finished before I could stop myself. But then again, it's not like humans know about the existense of such a surname.

"Kaito Shion. Now, sigh these forms and hand them in ASAP."

"If you don't mind sir, I shall sign them right here and now." I flashed one of my old smiles that my "other" self would grin on a regular basis. I could tell that both of the humans in this room recieved quite a shock at the sudden personality change.

Name: Kaito Shion

Age: (Heh, come to think of it, my age really was a mystery to all except my father and I) 17

The rest of the forms I filled with nonsense and what not. After all, the less that humans know me, the better. I'm only attending so that I could avoid Mikuo's cooking and maybe some fun in this dull human life.

"Shion, Class starts tomorrow at 7:30 sharp. Don't be late." I could tell that the dark figure was hiding a smirk, after all, I've done so many smirks that I could pratically sense them.

"Thank you, sir."

I probably edited this so fast that you wouldn't notice the "short version". Ah well.

Oh yeah, Kaito has 2 voices in his head: His human side and Vampire side. I think you can guess which is which.

Thanksies to/for the Reviews, Alerts, Favorites or just plain reading this and thinking "WOW! I hope this continues! What will happen next?"

Oh yeah, I'm a sucker for drama fics. (Why did I write that?)

Ciao~
