Cindy: *face palm*
In the middle of the night Hikari woke up with that god damn question repeating in her head. ''Who is their leader...?'' Hikari muttered and turned around to face the wall. ''I'm not going to sleep tonight...'' Hikari sighed and looked over at Haruka who was sleeping peacefully. ''At least she can sleep...''
Hikari got up from her bed and silently walked towards the door and opened it. She silently walked down the hall and peeked down the stairs into the living room. ''I can't believe that grandma still let them stay here... Well at least all of them are sleeping.''
Careful not to wake the vampires up, Hikari went down the stairs and towards the kitchen to get some water. ''It's never been this scary to go out to get some water at night, now that there are vampires right outside the door.'' Hikari shuddered at the thought of one of them waking up right now, because in her theory vampires might have better ears than normal humans.
''Who is the leader and what does he want with us...?!'' Hikari silently cursed as she tried to find an answer to the question, but being the stupid person she was she got no clue at all. ''My brain won't work...'' Hikari silently banged her forehead on the table and didn't notice that someone came in to the kitchen.
''And what are you doing?'' Snapping her eyes open, Hikari jumped up from the table and almost hit her head on the wall.
''Oww...!'' Hikari hissed and turned around to look at... Otoya. ''I'm so glad that it was you and not Syo.'' Hikari sighed in relief and Otoya sat on the opposite side of her.
''And why exactly?'' Otoya asked and put his chin on the palm of his hand and gazed at Hikari.
''If it was him I would have turned out to be a meal by now.'' Hikari muttered under her breath and shivered at the thought of the blonde vampire piercing his fangs on her skin.
''But why are you up so early in the morning? You still got school you know?'' Otoya questioned and Hikari slumped down on the chair.
''It's not really any difference. I still sleep in class because of the blood loss.'' She mumbled.
''I didn't know that Syo would just go ahead and make you his meal though. He hasn't even drunk from Haruka.'' Otoya said with a light huff and crossed his arms.
''How does our blood taste anyway? Is it that good?'' Hikari asked and Otoya nodded.
''There are actually different ranks on your blood level and you and Haruka's blood are one of the rare types. So vampires do find it almost impossible to resist and makes it really hard to stop before killing you, which we would have probably done if we didn't make a contract.'' Hikari sat there on her chair and absorbed all the information Otoya could provide her. She had to admit, hearing all about this was kind of interesting although she is a meal herself. ''Well I'm gonna go back to sleep.'' Otoya said and got up from the chair. ''Oh, alright. Good night.'' Hikari waved her hand and Otoya went out of the door.
Hikari didn't realize that she had been so tensed the whole conversation and the moment Otoya went out of the door she slumped back down in the chair and took a deep breath. ''I'm still not used to all this vampire stuff...'' Hikari mumbled and hugged her knees and buried her face on her legs.
Hikari's head was spinning, she couldn't think properly. Well it's no surprise, she rarely thinks about anything.
''I thought you were awake.'' A voice came from behind her and she slowly opened her eyes.
''No...'' Hikari mumbled and shook her head, refusing to look up.
''If you keep looking down like that I will have to force you to look at me.'' The voice said with a hint of irritation, but Hikari sill wouldn't look up.
''No... Just go away Syo.'' Hikari pouted and Syo sighed.
''I'm hungry.'' He said bluntly and forced Hikari's arms to release her knees.
''L-Let go!'' Hikari yelped and despite trying her best to keep struggling, Syo was stronger than her so he easily got her wrists pinned to the wall and looked at with crimson red eyes.
''I thought I would be nice to you tonight, but I guess not.'' Syo smirked and leaned in to Hikari neck.
''S-Stop, Syo!'' Hikari whispered loud enough for him to hear, but Syo ignored her protests and licked a certain spot on her neck. Then without hesitation, Syo pierced his fangs into her neck.
''Ah...'' She moaned in pain. After the blood loss from earlier, Hikari couldn't push Syo away as he kept sucking her blood. Eventually Syo stopped and licked the blood that dripped down on Hikari's neck.
''No matter how much I get, I can never get enough of your blood.'' Syo said quietly with a satisfied tone and looked at Hikari who was covering her just bitten neck while licking his lips.
"Bastard...!'' She hissed and pushed Syo away and ran out of the kitchen.
After storming up the stairs to their bedroom, Hikari slammed the door behind her, making sleeping Haruka jolt upright.
''Hikari...? Is everything al—'' Haruka stopped mid sentence when she saw Hikari covering her neck and slumped down to the ground. Rubbing her eyes to be fully awake, Haruka got up and took out the first aid kit from her closet and went over to her younger sister.
''O-Onee-Chan...'' Hikari was on the verge of tears and Haruka smiled softly as she hugged Hikari while stroking her back.
''It's alright... Onee-Chan is here...'' Haruka whispered.
"I-I don't want this, Onee-chan! I don't want to be a food source!" Hikari sobbed and Haruka stroked her sister's back to soothe her.
After three minutes, the crying died down and Haruka slowly pulled away from Hikari and took a hold of the first aid kit. ''Let's get that mark hidden, alright? Then we can go back to bed.'' Haruka said with a soft voice and Hikari nodded silently.
Haruka cleaned up the wound and put a small band aid over it. ''I guess you have to wear that for a while to hide the mark...''
When she was done, Hikari got up and went over to her bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
The morning went quite smoothly to the girls' surprise. They had gotten out of the house without any further problems with the vampires. Haruka, being the worrywart she was, constantly glanced at Hikari who was avoiding eye contact with everyone.
When they got in the car and out of the vampires reach, Haruka slowly leaned in to Hikari's ear and whispered, ''Are you alright?''
Hikari nodded her head and looked out the window with a blank expression while sliding her fingers over her patched up neck. (She looks paler than yesterday, just how much blood does that vampire Syo drink?) Haruka thought and she bit her lip just by seeing her younger sister space out.
''Are you sure you will be alright?'' Haruka asked while the two of them walked down the hall which was crowded with other students.
''Yeah...'' Hikari replied still staring off to space.
Haruka slumped her shoulders in defeat when they reached Hikari's classroom and without further questions, Hikari went in, leaving Haruka alone in the hallway.
''There's no beating her, is there?'' A voice came from behind her and Haruka turned around. ''Ah. Rita-San...'' She mumbled and the calm expression on Rita's face became a frowning face.
''What happened?'' Rita asked and Haruka shook her head.
''Nothing, let's go to the classroom, alright?''
Hikari sat down on her seat by the window on the last row. ''I hate my life...'' She mumbled and went to sleep before class even started.
Several minutes later, Hikari was sleeping even when Huyga-Sensei came in and started class.
''Hikari...'' Someone poked her shoulder, but she ignored it and kept sleeping. ''Hikari...!'' The person kept poking her and she grunted and looked up a bit.
''Shut up, Ai.'' She hissed and went back to sleep.
''Hikari! Huyga-Sensei is glaring at you!'' Ai said and Hikari's eyes snapped open.
Looking up from her seat she was greeted by an angry Huyga looking at her while his right eye was twitching. ''Hikari... DETENTION!'' Huyga slammed the textbook on the desk and Hikari shrunk back in her seat.
''I'm doomed.''
''Of course you are.'' Ai said in his usual monotone voice and Hikari grunted.
''Shut up.''
''You're spacing out more, Haruka.'' Rita whispered from the front and Haruka snapped back to reality.
''Eh?''
Sighing, Rita looked around the room to check if Ringo-Sensei went outside before turning to face Haruka.
''Is something wrong? You can tell me if there is anything bothering you.'' Rita said with concern in her voice.
''I'm alright.'' Haruka said with a smile and Rita looked at her with a suspicious eye before shrugging it off.
''If anything's bothering you, you can tell me.''
''I will.'' She replied with a weak smile.
The rest of the day was alright for Haruka, but she did notice that Ringo-Sensei would glance at her every once in a while. The way he looked at her made her shiver, but she pushed the feeling away and concentrated on class.
''School is finally over.'' Rita said and stretched when she heard the bell ring.
''Yeah. I'm gonna go and get Hikari.'' Haruka said while rising up from her chair.
''Alright, I will come with you.'' Rita said with a smile and Haruka nodded.
''Thanks.''
They headed for class 1-A where they would hopefully find Hikari. Haruka and Rita waited outside for the students to come out, afterwards students swarmed out from the classroom, but there was no trace of Hikari. Haruka spotted Ai who was walking down the hall and she called out to him.
''Ai! Do you know where Hikari is?''
Ai turned around and looked at Haruka in the eye before going towards her. ''Hikari got caught sleeping in class again, so she got detention from Huyga-Sensei. She said that you should go first.'' Ai said and Haruka sighed.
''Again? Come on Rita. We will go home first.'' Haruka said while turning the opposite direction and walked down the hall with Rita.
Rita and Haruka went out to the school courtyard, but the moment they got out... ''KYAAAAAH!'' They heard girls screaming in delight and they turned to the voices.
''What's happening over there?'' Rita asked and Haruka shrugged her shoulders.
''I don't know. Should we go and check?'' Haruka asked.
''If we can come through that huge crowd. It looks like all the girls are gathered around there.'' Rita said and Haruka nodded.
''Come on, I'm curious.'' Haruka said with a smile and grabbed Rita's arm and dragged her to the crowd.
''W-Wait, Haruka! I'm not really good with crowds!'' Rita said and Haruka turned around.
''Me neither, but come on!'' Haruka smiled and Rita sighed in defeat.
About five minutes later they got through the crowd of girls and looked up.
''Oh no...'' Haruka mumbled to herself while Rita was clearly shocked.
In Rita's perspective she saw six very, very handsome guys smiling and talking with the girls. While in Haruka's perspective she saw six hungry vampires waiting for their meal.
''Rita... I think we can go now.'' Haruka said while tugging on Rita's skirt like her life depended on it, which it did. But holding on her friends skirt didn't help as Haruka got pushed towards the vampires by their newly made fangirls.
''EEK!'' Haruka yelped and closed her eyes, waiting for the impact, but she didn't feel any pain.
''Huh?'' Haruka slowly opened her eyes and looked up. ''Shinomiya-San...'' Haruka mumbled. Haruka shivered, feeling the glares right at her and dark auras gaining around the girls.
''What are you doing to Natsuki-Sama?!'' A girl said and Haruka sighed.
''Why are you here?'' She whispered for Natsuki to hear.
''To pick you up, what else?'' Tokiya said behind him and looked around.
''Where's Hikari?''
''Hikari got detention for sleeping in class.'' Haruka answered while getting away from Natsuki's grip.
''Who's her teacher?'' Otoya asked with a hard face and Haruka looked at him confused.
''Hyuga-Sensei, why?'' Haruka said and the others fell silent.
''Huyga? Like Huyga Ryuya?'' Ren said with a bit of anger in his voice.
''Yes...? Why?'' Haruka tilted her head to the side.
Masato gestured Haruka to come closer before whispering to her ear, making the fangirls glare at her with anger visible in their eyes. ''Hyuga is a vampire.'' Masato whispered and Haruka almost dropped her bag.
''What?!'' She yelped and the others nodded.
Without any hesitation, Haruka turned around and ran towards the school building.
"Haruka-chan?" Rita asked with concern as she ran past her.
''W-Wait! Haruka!'' They screamed ad ran after her, ignoring the fangirls who was clinging onto them.
Haruka raced down the hallway to find the classroom Hikari was in. When she finally reached the classroom she was already panting, this was not good for her poor health at all.
*THUD*
Haruka's eyes widen when she heard screaming on the other side of the door and furiously opened it. The moment she did that, Haruka dropped her bags on the floor and her face paled.
Right there in front of her eyes was almost a lifeless Hikari with blood running down her neck and dripping down to the floor.
''Ah... Hikari...'' Haruka shivered by the sight of Hikari and looked over at Hikari's Sensei who was licking his lips while blood was covering his suit.
''HARUKA!'' Otoya screamed when they reached her. He pulled her into his arms and put his body in between her and Hyuga-sense in an attempt to shield her. She was shaking like a leaf in fright.
The vampires looked over at Hikari who was barely breathing and then looked at Hyuga who was smirking and picked the girl by the collar. ''I believe you have failed in protecting this girl.'' Huyga smirked and carried Hikari in his arms bridal style. ''I think his highness will be pleased to receive this.''
All the guys eyes widened and Syo sprinted towards the vampire who easily dodged the attack he was about to give.
''I will deal with you later. For now I have to give our king his new toy.'' Huyga said and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared with Hikari.
''Shit.'' Syo cursed under his breath and looked over at the guys with crimson red eyes.
''H-H-Hikari...'' Haruka mumbled before collapsing to the ground.
''Haruka!'' The guys yelped in surprise and Tokiya sighed before lifting her up. Tokiya looked at the girl in his arms and wiped away a tear that rolled down her cheek.
''We will bring her back.'' He muttered and looked over the guys who nodded in agreement. ''Definitely''
