Yuki passed back in forth in the living room of Kaname's room, biting her thumb nail.
"Could there really be a vampire after her?" she whispered.
"Yuki, is something wrong?" She jumped. She hadn't heard him come in.
"I'm worried about Touya-Senpai," She said. "What is what Ichijo-Senpai is right, what if it is a vampire after her?"
"Yuki, calm down," Kaname told her, hugging her. "I won't lie, it might be another vampire, but it's just a suspicion. Take in mind it might also be an unstable human also."
"But if it is a vampire he won't stop right? Like Rido?" Yuki started to panic so much that she didn't notice the crack that formed in the window. "He was so obsessed with Ka-San that he killed Tou-san and-" the shattering of glass cut her words off. She froze, eyes wide.
"Yuki, you need to stay calmed," Kaname tightened his rip of her, reassuring her. "Everything will be fine. I promise."
"I…I don't want to loose another friend," Yuki gripped his shirt, tears forming in her eyes. When she was human, her and Rima weren't close, they only spoke of several occasions but afterwards Rima, along with Shiki, was one of the first people to help her establish the Night Class. Rima helped her adjust to life in the Moon Dorms along with Ichijo. She'd become a friend that she needed after leaving Yori.
"I know, Yuki," He whispered. "I know."
"Where's Kaname-Sama?" Aidou asked Akatsuki as they and the rest of the Night Class but it was Ichijo who answered.
"He said Yuki isn't feeling well so their both going to stay here," He said.
"But Purebloods can't get sick." Akatsuki frowned. "Are you sure-"
"It doesn't matter," Aidou interrupted. "If Kaname-Sama said his sister isn't well we shouldn't question it."
"If you say so." Akatsuki sighed. Then he noticed three more people missing. "Where's Ruka, Touya and Shiki?"
A depressed look came over Ichijo's face. It didn't suit him, a look that would suggest someone close to him had died.
"Ruka said that Rima refuses to come out of the bathroom. She look herself in there so Shiki went to help," He said quietly. " It's…it's happening again."
Aidou and Akatsuki exchanged worried looks.
'Rima…'
Suddenly, a familiar smell of blood filled the air.
Rima POV
I stared at the blood that dripped down my arm, mixing in the water from the shower head that laid that was still running. I hadn't even bothered to change out of my white skirt and black dress shirt.
I felt a bit of disgust in me when the small wound I made healed.
"…even if you are a Demon in Human form…"
"…It must be hard fighting your bloodlust, and not living the normal human life you've always wanted…"
'How did they know?' I thought. When I was little, after my father had died, I started hating being a vampire. Not being able to die easily, lusting for blood, living forever…I always hated it. I hated healing from wounds quickly. Hated watching the humans watching the human children playing outside in the sun, living normal lives…
"Rima?" there was a knock at the door.
I didn't answer.
'Just go away, I don't want you to see me like this' I though desperately.
Normal POV
Shiki waited for answer, but nothing came. He had sent Ruka away, mostly because it would cause her more pain if she saw Rima. Then again, with Rima's blood in the air like this it probably doesn't help anything.
"Rima, If you don't open this I'll break it open," he threatened. There was a pause. Finally a soft click was heard.
Taking and deep breath then sighing, he opened it and paled.
She was leaning against the wall, soaked. Cuts were healing on her legs and what he could of her arms.
He turned the water off before kneeling in front of her.
"Rima…" he whispered. She didn't look at him. She turned her head away, starring at the floor.
"I keep remembering when my father died. He hated being a vampire too." Her voice was quiet, and she didn't sound like herself. "That's why he killed himself."
"Rima," He held her face in-between his hands "He was weak, but you aren't."
"I feel weak," She whispered, tearing forming in her eyes. "I'm scared Shiki. I…I don't know what to do."Shiki felt a pain in his heart that hurt just as bad as when he realised he stabbed her when he was possessed by Rido, if not worse. He held her close to him, holding her close.
He felt her grip his shirt in response, shaking.
"I can't handle this Shiki," She whispered. "Everywhere I go…I feel like I'm being watched…I can't even go to a shoot without worrying that someone's following me…I can't take it…I'm scared…"
"Rima!" Yuki appeared in the door way, shock on her face.
"Yuki-Sama…" At the same time Shiki and Rima let go of each other.
"I-I smelt her blood and-" Tears formed in her eyes. She hurried over, falling to her knees and hugging her.
"It'll be okay," She said. "Don't worry everyone will help you Rima. We'll find whose trying to get you, and you'll be okay."
Rima's eyes widened slightly from shock.
"We're not alone anymore Rima," Shiki said quietly. "We have friends who will help us when we need...we seem to forget that alot huh?"
Rima didn't say anything. she just let Yuki hug her while her vision became blurry from the flow of tears.
With no leads leading to whose behind everything Rima's starting to break down and everyone around her is worried about what could happen.
