Chapter 16

I strolled through the woods about to head back with Yuki and Zero. Hatchi was right beside me still sniffing the ground to find any more students sneaking out from their dorms. The night was quiet to quiet so I decided to sing to a parody of Fireflies. "There's vampires everywhere it's making me kind of scare, why the obsession of the living impair?" I sang. Hatchi tried to roll his eyes and I laughed. Soon enough of forgotten the next lyric.

The days seemed to go by pretty fast. Not a day goes by of not thinking of my mom. I never told anybody how much pain I was in. When I was much younger I would sleep in Zero's room if the nightmares would return and the nightmares wouldn't come. It was like Zero was this human size dream catcher. But I knew better, Zero had enough to take care of Yuki. I couldn't blame him. I was concerned for her too. Each day the dreams became more vivid than before. The dreams they were so much blood…I stopped myself. Hatchi tilted his head in confusion.

"I'm sorry what was next after that" I smiled bleakly

"AIDO LET GO" Yuki's voice echoed through the forest. Was that Yuki? Ah hell no if Aido's trying to drink Yuki's blood, he has another thing coming. Aido YOUR DEAD!

Me and Hatchi race to Yuki's aid. We found her with Aido. His fangs pierce Yuki's wrist slightly. The girls on the left fainted; thankfully Mio wasn't here to see. I punched Aido's face hard enough for him to hit the ground. Slapping was too girly for me. Punching fits me best. For some random reason the song of the fireflies parody came to my head.

"I really wish I knew why everyone so into

Twilight, Vampire Diaries and true blood, too" I sang to the song that was in my head. Aido gritted his teeth but I didn't care my mind was too occupied with the song. It was really catchy!

Aido dusted himself off the ground. His eyes a crimson red. "Yo, I think the dust got you pink eye. I don't want pink eye so back away." I said pulling out my mini shuriken.

Aido laughed harshly "What the hell is that a tooth pick."

"HEY, HEY, LEAVE MR. UCHI ALONE!"I shouted. I held Uchi close to my heart whispering comforting words that would ease his midget size.

Aido took long stride steps towards me with his hand in his pockets. "I would love to drink your blood Rin, but I'm more into the sweet type." He smiled using his ice powers to freeze our legs.

"Told you, he was gay, Yuki" I said.

"Why would you say that?" Yuki stammered.

"He likes stuff that's sweet and pretty, enough said" I grinned evilly. I was trying to tick him off as much as I can. Hatchi was behind him trying to maintain his snarls.

"How dare you, you call me that" He seethed.

"I got to be honest it's smart to flirt with the day class students to cover up your secret" I chuckled.

"THAT DOES IT YOUR DEAD." He shrieked. Now Aido won't concentrate on his surroundings. Aido was smart but in battle strategies he was stupid.

I gave Hatchi the signal which was lifting up my eyebrow. Aido took that as if I was being cocky about him being gay. His cousin Kain didn't noticing Hatch or if he did he looked aside it. Hatchi leaped on top of Aido's back. He mauled on his neck and Aido fell straight face down to the dirt. Aido somehow maintain to grab hold of Hatchi. He threw across him across until he hit the nearest tree. Hatchi let out a yelp of pain.

Did he just hit threw Hatchi? Hatchi tried to rise from the ground but his back paw as broken.

"Did you think that filthy mutt can hurt me? Sure it can scare the hell out of the day class student but it's just a rodent to us vampires" He grinned evilly.

"Aido" Kain warned but it was far too late. Aido's ice was starting to melt. The curse mark wasn't spreading, not yet anyways. It was only building up steam. I gripped Aido's collar and pulled him down to my level.

"You want to meet a really bitch, Aido" I snarled.

"Rin wait" Yuki said trying for me to maintain calm. But I can't he hurt my best friend. I felt Uchi the shuriken expand. Aido's eyes went wider. I lifted the weapon higher so I can chop of Aido's pretty little head off.

Hatchi howled loud causing me to drop my weapon and letting go of Aido. Zero came out with his blood rose pressing it against Aido's head. He wasn't scared of that although he should because that can kill him.

"It was just a taste" Aido playfully smiled. Wrong move dumbass. I let Zero take this part while I ran to Hatchi. His paw was twisted in a wrong way.

"Ha-Ha-Ha-tchi? Your going to be Okay" I stuttered. I never stuttered before in a long time. Zero was close to pulling the trigger until Yuki interfered pushing the gun up.

"IDOIT WHY DID YOU SHOOT" Yuki hissed.

"Damn" I breathed wishing Zero would have shot him.

"That was scary" Aido trembled.

"What the?" Kain said aghast at the mark the gun made.

"It's called the blood rose" Kaname said lurking out of the darkness with Takuma. Takuma saw me curled up with Hatchi.

"Rin are you" Kaname interrupted him

"You should be more careful Aido it was made to kill creatures like us" Kaname warned.

"Well than I'll take care of these fools. The chairman will need a full report" Kaname sighed deeply.

Takuma walk over to my side rubbing my back softly. "Is he okay"

Hatchi tried to growl but the pain caused him to only whimper. Kaname held Aido by the collar tightly "Is that okay Kiriyu"

"Just get them out of my sight" Zero replied. I already knew that Takuma had to leave and it made me really sad.

"See you around Takuma" I said. Kain received the same punishment as Aido and Yuki thank Kaname because he didn't do anything at all but slapping the vampire's hands.

Zero spotted me with Hatchi on floor. He probably didn't notice me at all. Well I don't care all I want right now is to take care of Hatchi. "Rin how's Hatch-"

"Fine" I said curtly. I lifted him without any effort. He gave a loud cry. Yuki's eyes widen "We need to take him to the vet."

"I'll fix it" I said.

"Right now, you need to get your wrist covered up before the vampire get even more excited" I scold. I knew I wasn't myself but I didn't care. My best friend was in extreme pain.

"Right" Zero sighed, taking a piece clothing to wrap Yuki's womb. He dragged Yuki to the infirmary. I held onto my tears until they disappeared to the night. I carefully walked to my dorm so Hatchi wouldn't feel too much pain on his leg. I grabbed some stuff that will make Hatchi fall asleep than I start to work.

I finally finished putting Hatchi a blue cast to match his blue eyes. A knock came to my door. The door was too far away for me to answer.

"Rin" Zero knocked once more.

"Eh" I slurred.

"Can I come in" He asked.

"Don't care" I responded.

"How's Hatchi?" He asked, closing the door behind him quietly.

"He's fine" I said stroking Hatchi's thick black fur. Zero stare down at Hatchi with astonishment. "You cast his paw"

"Well yah, you think I was going to let him suffer in pain." I said.

"I thought we could have run down to the vet and have them checked it out" He suggested at first.

"I doubt any of them would have been open" I shrugged.

"I guess your right" He sighed. He gazed around my room noticing everything was disorganize and unclean.

"Didn't the headmaster told you to clean your room" He question.

"Yah he told me that 4 years ago" I smirked.

"Same old Rin" He grinned somewhat.

"Yup anyway if that's all you need than you can leave" I said hopping onto the bed. I hated the awkward silence because I have a feeling the fireflies parody song was going to come back and I don't think Zero would want to hear that. He didn't budge nor said anything.

"Unless you want to read me a bed time story? As long it's not Cinderella because there's already like several of those" I said hoping that woke him up.

"I'd rather hear your story" He said.

"Sure" I said already have story in mind.

"You do know I'm not talking about an actual story" Zero sweat drop.

"Yah now I know" I muttered crossing my arms.

"What do you want to know?" I asked.

"How did you know vampires exist" He asked simply

"Next"

"What?"

"I said next, next question"

"Why can't you answer the question" He pressed.

"Because"

"Because why?" He growled.

"Why do I have to reveal my past to you? It's not like you're going to do the same?" I snapped.

"Fine…Um I have brother" He admitted sadly.

"Really? Is he hot?" I asked

"Rin" He hissed

"Joking" I said.

"Your turn" He sighed.

"I'm an only child"

"I thought Hatchi was your brother" Zero smirked

"Pftt I'm way hotter" I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, why did you run off yesterday during me and the headmaster argument" He asked.

"Flashbacks" I stated.

"What were they" He questioned.

"I already reveal something your next bucko"

"Fine…My family was slaughtered in front of me by a vampire" He said making the atmosphere intense.

"My mom was abused and killed by a close family member that was a vampire" I said.

Zero eyes widen "Your family is mixed with vampires?

"No he was recently turned."

"I think were done" I said pushing Zero out the door.

"Rin wait,"

"Hey, look I don't want to talk about it anymore okay, they already give me nightmares that can scare the bejesus out of me" I said trying to push the door closed.

"Fine I'll make them go away!" He said back.

"How are you planning doing that?" I laughed darkly continuing to push the door closed. Zero pushed open the door harder already squeezing his body through.

"I'll sleep here for the night" He said.

" So were going to have a slumber party" I said raising an eyebrow
