Hi all! I'm back with chapter 9. And as promised Slick Lemon/Look I'm NOT a taco (one of my school friends) gets her own character for helping me make my story make more sense, so here it is, the new character *drum roll* Tsuki. As I revealed in the previous chapter's author's note (oops) Takuma doesn't die. Anyway, read, reveiw and enjoy

Takuma's POV

She was here. I saw her. She had taken me, but I had managed to escape. She was still after me. Get a grip, I told myself, but I was still shaken. I had seen her lips curve into a cruel smile in that second that she had faced him. Sara Shirabuki. With her fine features, delicate pale skin, long wavy hair. Despite her stunning beauty she was dangerous, a threat. And she was not afraid to hurt people to get what she wanted. She had wanted to know the details of Kaname-sama's plans. Out of loyalty to my friend I didn't give it to her. She had punished me. But I escaped back to Cross Academy before she could hurt me further. The first thing I should have done on return was warn Kaname, but I didn't. I had completely forgotten, but seeing her had reminded me. It was rather similar to what happened a few years back. The main reason my grandpa had wanted me to go to Cross Academy was to spy on Kaname, to see if he was worthy of being the head pureblood for the senior council. Since there was only two in the Night Class back then, we became good friends so I stopped giving Ichiou the imformation on Kaname. The Night Class grew bigger with the arrival of the two cousins; Aidou and Kain, and their good friend Ruka. Then I was stepped up to vice dorm president (after Kaname) because I had been here second longest and well, he was a pureblood I was only a noble. But things were serious now, I thought I had lost her back in the cottage I was being kept at. But no, she had come here. She was still after me (and Kaname for that matter). And she was dangerous.

Natsumi's POV

We were at the Model Agency. Ichijou had just fainted after seeing this mysterious pureblood girl. I was too busy fretting to notice that Shiki and Rima had come back. They were wearing the latest designer clothing with a little make-up and they looked gorgeous.

"Oh, what happened to him?" asked Rima looking down at the blonde boy lying on the floor.

"Well, this pureblood girl walked past him and he fainted"

"Hmmm, well we better get him out of the way" she turned to a girl with strawberry-blonde hair "Tsuki (moon), you live close to here, can we take Takuma there? He fainted but it looks a bit more serious than that, see his twitching and mumbling in his sleep"

"Oh, poor guy, yeah we could take him to my house it's only a short walk away"

"Thanks" she said then faced me "Don't worry Natsumi, Tsuki knows what we are and she's fine with it"

So we walked down the streets taking turns to carry him. "Ok we're nearly there" said Tsuki as we turned the corner. As we got closer I started hearing voices, not very clearly, but nonetheless still voices. I could start making out some of the words now. Then I heard the different accents. Each type of animal had their own accent. I could hear a few horses and dogs, but mainly sheep and chickens. They were getting really loud now, the noise was filling up my ears. "Tsuki, does your house happen to be a pet shop?" I asked.

"No, quite different actually, it's a butcher's shop"

"A b-b-butcher's shop" I stuttered, starting to feel sick.

"Are you ok? You're starting to go green"

"Ah no, don't worry about me, it's him you need to worry about". The noise was unbearable now. "Shut up!" I shouted, at last there was a bit of silence.

"Err…Natsumi, why did you say 'Shut up'? It's practically silent around here" Shiki asked raising his eyebrow (any girl would have thought he was drop-dead gorgeous right now, except me, if I wasn't his half-sister I would though)

"Shiki, it's the voices, you know of the animals, well the spirits of them at least"

"So now you not only talk to animals, but you can talk to the spirits of dead ones. Right"

"I guess"

Tsuki opened the door. We came into a room with butcher knives and fridges. The noise was even louder on the inside, and I felt a lot more sick.

"Um…Tsuki, can we move into another room quickly, I'm feeling kinda sick"

"Uhh…sure. Are you vegetarian or something like that?"

"Genius Tsuki, who's ever heard of a vegetarian vampire" said Rima sarcastically.

We went through a door and came into a lounge room. We laid Ichijou down on a long couch (he was a bit too tall so we had to fold his legs over the armrest). We tried heaps of things to get him to wake up; we poured a bucket of water over his head, we yelled in his ear, we poked him. Then I decided to do something only a vampire would react to. I walked into the butcher area picked up a small, sharp knife and cut myself just below the elbow. I held my arm close to his head, hoping he would get my blood scent. He still remained asleep. Suddenly he lifted his head up and injected his fangs into the cut (unlike Yori, it didn't hurt Natsumi, well… she is a vampire and why would another vampire's bite hurt her)

"K-K-Kaname… where is he? Must warn…h-him" he said. His eyes were blood-shot and he looked crazy with worry.

"It's okay, Ichijou don't worry" I said gently.

"No…must warn…" he insisted

"Calm down, we'll let you see Kaname, if you must"

He nodded then fell limp again.

"Well, we better see Kaname. It sounds pretty serious, I mean with him in that crazy state" said Rima.

So we walked back to the Model Agency where the limo was. There was one thought in my mind, who was that pureblood girl? When we arrived back at Cross Academy we woke Takuma up and let him warn Kaname-sama, about what? I wondered

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

It was time for our classes. Thank god, Ichijou-senpai was better! We walked through the gates and the squeals came, as usual. It was important that I saw Yori-chan, I hadn't had my daily dose of blood yesterday due to the visit to the Model Agency. The rich blood scents wafted in as the fan-girls crowded around Aidou, who I was conveniently standing next to. I just couldn't take it anymore. The blood scent was so strong and I was really, really thirsty. I bit the girl standing next to me without realising what I was doing. Mmm… blood… type A…

"Natsumi-san!" came Yuuki's voice "What are you doing?"

I screamed as a bullet from Zero's Bloody Rose hit me. It was an extreme shock, like a bolt of electricity went through me. I took in my surroundings as I regained control of myself. All around me the girls were screaming and around them a ring of vampires had formed and they were already erasing their memories.

Yori's POV

(a few minutes before Natsumi's POV ends)

I was waiting by the classrooms after curfew when I heard screaming from near the Moon Dorms. At first I thought it was just the usual squealing and screaming from the fangirls.

"I wonder how Yuuki's going without me" said Zero who was supervising me today.

"Zero, is the screaming always this loud"

"You're right it is rather loud today. Let's check it out"

As soon as we got near there, Yuuki ran up to us.

"Zero, help! Natsumi's attacked one of the girls!"

Zero pulled out his gun. What was he thinking? He couldn't shoot her now, there were too many people in the way, and someone could get hurt.

"Don't shoo-" I yelled, but never finished because it was too late, Zero had already shot. It was really weird, the bullet went straight trough one girl and she didn't even notice but when it hit Natsumi she screamed in agony.

"Kiryu-kun, why did it do that?" I whispered "It didn't hurt one girl but when it came to Natsumi it-"

"Yori-chan, the Bloody Rose is no ordinary gun. I am a vampire hunter and this is my anti-vampire weapon. It will not hurt a human but it could kill a vampire, be glad that Natsumi's a noble, if she was a level E she would be dead by now"

"Oh" I never knew the world of vampires was so confusing, I probably would have been better of knowing nothing about this kind of thing. But I was too late to turn back now. I'll never be the shy, straight A, student ever again.

So did you like it? I hope so. Yes I did it! I didn't start the author's note at the bottom with 'Ooooh'. Anyway, Slick Lemon I hope you liked your character. Write to you soon, when Natsumi's mum comes to visit. Bye!
