Authors Note:Hi everybody J Sorry for the late update, and I mean really late. I always get major writers when I write this story; it's a little embarrassing. Anyway, here's the new chapter.


Chapter 4

As Haruka laid in bed, with Muu-Chan keeping him company while Sugino was looking for clues to the vampire woman's whereabouts, he couldn't help but get more and more worried about Kantarou. He wanted to be sure that Kantarou was safe and that nothing bad was going to happen.

"Sugino, please hurry." Haruka moaned. And then Muu-Chan got right in his face, which annoyed him a bit. "Do you mind?" he asked, and Muu-Chan backed away.

Meanwhile, Sugino was in town asking as many people if they'd seen anyone who fit Kantarou's description, but with no luck. He was about to head back when he spotted a fortune teller and decided to see if she had anything that could help.

"Hello, sir." said a young woman, this is the fortune teller, "How can I help you?"

Sugino laughed nervously and then said, "This probably sounds crazy, but I have a feeling that someone I know is going to turn into a vampire. Do you have anything that can stop the transformation?"

"It's not that crazy." said the fortune teller, and then she went to look for what Sugino might need, "I hear stuff like this almost all the time. Here it is. Give this to your friend, and he'll be back to his old self in no time."

She handed Sugino a bottle with some strange purple liquid inside, which Sugino assumed was some kind of medicine.

"He and I aren't really friends, he's my friend's friend." said Sugino, "But thanks for the medicine."

"Your welcome." said the fortune teller, "Remember to only give him a cup. That's all he needs."

"What happens if he drinks more than that?" asked Sugino.

"He could get sick or die." she answered.

Sugino shivered at the thought, and said, "Yikes. Well, thanks again, see you around." with that he left.

Meanwhile, Kantarou was lying in the bed in pain as the transformation continued. He felt his teeth turning sharper, and his blood changing slowly.

Just then, the vampire woman, Ramia, came in to see him. She put her hand on his face and said, "It won't be much longer now."

"Don't touch me!" Kantarou hissed.

Ramia glared at Kantarou and said, "I'll touch you if I want to! You belong to me now!"

"No I don't." said Kantarou, "I belong with Haruka. I love him!"

"Is that so?" Ramia asked, smirking, "Well, that doesn't matter. Once the transformation is complete, those feelings will be gone." with that, she left Kantarou alone in the room again.

Kantarou nearly cried at what she had just said about his feelings for Haruka. He just couldn't believe it. He prayed for Haruka to get there in time before he forgot about his feelings.

Back in town, Haruka was just about completely healed when Sugino came in smiling. "Why the smile, Sugino? Did you find something out?"

"Well, first I managed to get something that might help Kantarou." Sugino replied, showing Haruka the purple stuff.

"That stuff?" asked Haruka, "What does it do?"

"According to this fortune teller that I got it from, it supposed to stop the transformation." Sugino explained, "All he needs is a cup of this stuff. If he drinks too much, he could get sick or die."

Haruka's face paled at the thought, "Did I really need to hear that?" he asked.

"I just thought I'd give you a heads-up so you wouldn't accidentally give him too much." said Sugino.

"Oh." said Haruka, "What else happened?"

"On my way back, I heard about an old mansion just outside of town." said Sugino, "I think that might be where the vampire lady is keeping Kantarou."

After hearing this, Haruka stood up and said, "If that's the case, then we'll have to go right away."

Sugino smiled and said, "I couldn't agree more, demon eater."

Haruka turned to Sugino and commented, "I thought you didn't like Kantarou."

"I don't." said Sugino, "But I know you love him. And if he means a lot to you, then I'm with you all the way."

Haruka smiled at the white goblin and said, "Thanks, Sugino."

"Hey, what are friends for?" said Sugino. And with that, the two goblins flew off to go rescue Kantarou. They hoped to get there in time; meanly Haruka hoped that, because he wanted to save the one he loved.
