Recap of Awkward Silence:

"Animal Blood?! Is that what you call vegetarian?! I could never feed off animal blood, even if it meant dying of thirst!" I exclaimed "Most of my entire family is in debt to an animal of some sort, so I could never hurt them, ever"

Yuuki's POV

I was so scared, for the Day Class and for Natsumi. It isn't fair on her. She doesn't want to hurt animals or people but with her vampiric nature it's the only way for her to survive. She doesn't seem to have very good luck at all. On the first day here she got a sprained ankle. On the first night she had an allergic reaction to the blood tablets. Her allergic reaction is so bad that she could even die if she had another blood tablet. After Dr Misotu's test were finished. He concluded that if Natsumi was to have a blood tablet ever again she would fall unconscious for a long time and in that unconscious state and in the few minutes after it she is extremely vulnerable. So vulnerable that if she has only 50% chance of living through it. That shocked us down to the core! Only 50% chance of surviving! Poor Natsumi, she was so brave, I don't think any of the other vampires could go through what Natsumi went through just then. It was even more brave of her to reject Kaname's third option. To become vegetarian (vegetarian isn't exactly the right word to describe it) by drinking animal blood instead of human blood. I still didn't understand what Natsumi said "Animal Blood?! Is that what you call vegetarian?! I could never feed off animal blood, even if it meant dying of thirst! Most of my entire family is in debt to an animal of some sort, so I could never hurt them, ever" So I asked her.

"Natsumi, what do you mean by that?"

"*Sigh* Yuuki most of my mother's side of the family has been rescued, helped or saved by an animal. Take my mother, Kitsune (fox) for example. When she was a little baby without a name, she crawled through the open gate of the back garden while my grandmother's back was turned. She was fascinated by the woods and kept on crawling until she was lost. That night a vixen found her on the way to the den, she ushered my mother to follow her, maybe it was just a strange coincidence but my mum followed the fox to the den anyway. The fox took care of her for two nights while grandma and grandpa were frantically searching for her. The next day grandma found her by a river that the fox usually drank at. She saw the vixen wrap her fluffy tail around the little baby and urged my young mother to drink like her. My mother saw grandma in the reflection of the water and recognized her. My grandma named the fox shunkashuutou (the four seasons) and she named my mother Kitsune after that fox. The next time Kitsune saw that fox she had four cubs which she named Kyuuka (summer), Aki (autumn), Fuyu (winter) and Haru (spring). Kitsune also planned to have four children in memory of shunkashuutou. I was the first out of the four, named Natsumi (summer beauty) in memory of Kyuuka. She planned to have three other children named after the four cubs, but before Kitsune had another child her husband, Rido disappeared"

Senri went pale and started going green, probably remembering how Rido used his body, I think. He half-choked "Rido Kuran is your father?" Natsumi looked puzzled but answered anyway.

"Yes, why?"

"That makes me your half-brother! I didn't know I had a half-sister. Rido is my father too…" he paused

"Well that would explain why we have such a similar hair colour"

"…But he wasn't a good man though. He killed Haruka, Yuuki's father. He attacked Yuuki when she was only five. He took over my body and started harming other students in Cross Academy. He did all that and more just to eat his princess, Yuuki"

"Why would he want to eat Yuuki???"

"To gain power and as revenge for Juuri choosing Haruka over him"

"Oh… I didn't know much about my dad he left us when I was six months old. I'm sorry about the mess he caused here"

"Oh that's ok, but just because your mother was saved by a fox you won't hurt an animal, even if that means dying of thirst"

"It's not just my mother, you know. My great grandmother had a pet parrot called Shimmer. It was the middle of the night and it was snowing" My head started reeling that seemed so familiar but I knew Natsumi wasn't talking about the night my memories started though "Her neighbor, Akemi was asleep when the heard a tapping on their un-curtained window, she looked through and saw the parrot Shimmer tapping on her window in the middle of the cold winter. She immediately thought something happened to my great grandmother. So she went to her house. Great grandma was slumped on the stairway, she was going up the stairs after her evening walk and she had a heart attack. Luckily for her though the neighbor called the ambulance and she was saved. The next day when Akemi returned to her home she found Shimmer dead outside her window. Shimmer had died of frostbite while trying to save my great grandmother. Throughout the Retasu bloodline animals lie, most of us inherit the close bond with animals like my awesome cousin Shirazuki and I"

All of us were totally moved by her stories, Shiki felt really bad "Ah, sorry Natsumi-san about questioning your decision to not drink animal blood"

"Hey! Don't feel bad about it"

"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO???" the chairman shouted.

"I'll be your temporary blood donor until we figure out what to do, I was one for Zero so I don't really mind" I said

"AAH YUUKI!!! YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD DAUGHTER!!!!"

"Calm down! Chairm- I mean daddy we still have a problem on our hands" I said as the chairman started crying, his tears reaching the floor.

Ooooh! semi-cliffie! Oh and that story about someone being saved by a parrot is actually true, only I think it was a budgie or canary not a parrot. Its true, I was reading about it in a book called 'Psychic Pets' coz I was someones house and there wasn't much to do besides read and I only found 2 books No# 1: Psychic Pets, No# 2: Angelina Ballerina *ugh*
