.miyuri-xandx-yuzuki. - You will find out who are they running from on later chapters. I hope you'll stick to this to find out. :D And the answers to Yu's question will probably answered in this chapter. If not, then the next. Or the next. Or if I won't tell it directly, I will give hints. :D

athanasiamikee - The rain scene is her dream. I'm sorry for not making it clearer. Damn me for forgetting the important details. X_X

Anyway, I really do hope that you guys will continue to read, review and support this fic. It really makes me happy.

Now, on with the chapter!

~ I don't own Vampire Knight...

~ And I made a mistake with the previous one. Nos, notre - Our ; Echapper - Escape. Damn me for forgetting things. Anyway, yeah.

Chapter 2: Nos Exécuter

Nos, notre - Our; Exécuter- Run

Drop... Drop... Drop... Droppp... Dropppp... Dropppp...

...

...

...

Mhmm... I don't want to wake up...

...

...

...

Please just let me sleep...

...

...

...

I don't want to wake up yet...

"Riki......" No... I don't want to...

"Rii-chan~!" Annoying...

"Hisakata Riki, wake up this instant!"

"Dammit!" This is why I hate mornings... My dreams are always put on a stop when I'm on the good part. Grr...

"I'm sorry. You just won't wake up that's why-"

"You have to pull my blankets from me and let me fall off the bed." I finished for him. Am I not allowed to sleep?

"Exactly." Rei said. This man is clearly a sadist... Since there will be no use for me to go back to sleep, I decided to just get up and get on with the day's activities. With this man around, there is no way that I'll be able to go back to sleep.

"So, what's our agenda for today?" I said, stretching my arms and my legs.

"Breakfast. Then back to our goal." He said. In case you don't know, I need someone who arranges the schedule. The task itself is pretty tiresome.

"Okie dokie! Let's go!!" The thought of breakfast is pretty appealing especially if you're thinking of sweet sweet stuff...

"Ice cream is unhealthy for breakfast." ...And Rei just loves to ruin it for me.

"Whatever." I said as I turned the door knob.

"Do you intend to go out only in your pjs?"

...Crap...

X-X-X-X-X

Nothing beats a good breakfast... Except a very preachy male friend who keeps on pestering you about your choice of food.

"Ice cream for breakfast is bad, you know. It's not good for the body. And it makes you fat!" Rei whined as we walked back to the inn.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Besides, I can always work out to keep my body in shape." I said. I guess we really don't have to walk that far because the cafe was just 5 houses away.

"But it's still not good for your health!" Rei said as he opened the door to the inn.

"Sheesh... You're being my mom..." I said.

"I'm only concerned." He said. "Care to get our bags while I check us out?"

"'Kay." I said. I don't really mind getting the bags. They're not that heavy anyway.

...

Okay. Remind me to not speak too soon. These bags are not heavy. They are like weights! I wonder how he can carry these bags? Damn it.

"Still alive?" Rei said, leaning against the wall.

"Duh..." I said, reaching the floor. Yay for floors!

"Don't you think it's a good work out?" He said, taking the bag from me without any trouble at all.

"How can you do that?" I asked.

"It's because of what I am." He said. Did I mention he's a freaking vampire? Well, now I did.

"Lucky you..." I murmured.

"No, I'm not." He said as he opened the door out of the inn. Well, back to work now.

X-X-X-X-X

"Look, Rei! I can see it! I can actually see it!! Can you see it?!" I said excitedly while (viciously) tugging at Rei's arm. Who wouldn't be excited when you finally reached the place you're going to?

"Yes, Riki. I can see it. Now, will you please PLEASE stop tugging my arm? I might lose it if you continue to tug it like that." He said.

"Sorry. It's just... We made it." I said, a smile on my face. It's already dusk and there are few people buying tonight's dinner. There are also kids running about the streets, playing their favorite game of tag. Women gossiping, men gambling. It was so long ago ever since I saw this kind of scene.

"Come on. Let's take a short cut." Rei said as he pulled me towards an alley. As we went farther, the sky above us turned dark and the people around us diminished until we are all alone. If I'm not with Rei, I would have cowered under my blanket.

"You know, it's really REALLY creepy here. How far do we still have to go to reach the place?" I asked.

"Probably 2 and a half hours if we won't take breaks." He said. Geez... Is he telling me that I'm holding us off?

"No. I'm not saying that." He said. Creepy mind reader.

A few more minutes passed, my senses told me that we were no longer alone and that we have someone following us. I guess Rei felt the same because one of hands went to his right side where his gun is located.

"You know, it's getting really creepy." I said. I am now officially creeped out now that we have someone stalking us.

"..." And to add the fact that Rei's being quiet, it's getting really creepy now.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

"Ouch." I muttered under my breath. Stupid people for leaving rusty metals hanging around.

"What' wrong?" Rei asked.

"I got wounded." I said.

"This is now officially bad." He said, his face being slightly shocked. Just lightly. You can rarely get this man to be surprised.

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked. Hey, I'm clueless right now...

"Level Es." He said. And just that precise moment, a good number of them appeared from our both sides. Well damn. This is really bad.

"Stay behind me." He ordered as he began firing shots at the Level Es who instantly attacked the moment their comrade turned to dust. Well, I hate being useless and I don't play the role 'damsel in distress' either. So why not help. I pulled out my sword from it's case and began helping Rei.

"I knew telling you off was useless." Rei said as he shot the Level E in front of him.

"Duh." I said as I cut the annoying Level E in front of me.

"Damn." I heard Rei curse.

"Why? What' wrong?" I said, completely giving my attention to him. Well, not really because I just killed two Level Es.

"I'm out of ammo." He said. This is now officially bad.

"Where's your sword?" I asked, cutting a Level E in half. Why are they not decreasing in number?

"I left it." He said, using his hand to kill the Level E. "We need to get out of here because it's pointless to kill them all."

"If I can only-"

"No. We are not going to do that." Rei said sternly.

"Rei, trust me on this." I said.

"I'm trusting you. It's just that the fact that-Look out!"

I whipped my head but I was too late. Way too late. Because all I can feel right now is a hand struck on my chest.

"Riki!" Those are the only words I heard before everything turned black.

Author's rambling area: Grr... I'm kind of disappointed with myself. It's kinda suckish so my apologies. *Damn brother for trying to kick me out. Not to mention that he's younger than me...*

I hope that somehow, this was worth reading.

And for those who are wondering where is Rido, he will appear on the later chapters because I'm following the VK plotline. And this is set at the beginning of VKG *When Kaname and Ichijou went to the council.

So, please review! :D
