SLIGHT HEADS UP FOR FUTURE CHAPTER: ONE OF AMAYA'S VAMPRIE POWERS IS THAT SHE CAN GROW HER HAIR HOWEVER LONG SHE WANTS. COMPLETELY USELESS BUT WILL SERVE ITS POINT LATER ON.

"Aidou-Sempai's laboratory looked into these new blood tablets. They've found something that shouldn't be in there." Yuuki informed Sara Shirabuki, frowning deeply. Amaya continued, pointing accusingly at Sara,

"There's Pureblood blood in these tablets!"

"I see my admirers are in the room next door." Sara replied calmly, hands overlapping and resting on her lap, smiling innocently. Yuuki frowned,

"I wonder whose was used... It's certainly not mine."

"Indeed." Sara replied, her smiling growing even wider. "It's mine." Yuuki furrowed her eyebrows, exclaiming,

"Sara-San! You do realize how dangerous our blood is, right?" She questioned, using a tone that suggested that Sara Shirabuki was an idiot. She blinked in surprise when Takuma moved in front of Sara protectively. "Ichijou-Sempai?"

"Takuma?" Amaya questioned, surprised. Takuma did not answer, his bangs falling over his face so you could not see his expression.

"The blood I was born with and the power I hold," Sara began, blue eyes glinting. ",If I don't use it well, don't you think it's the same as dying?" She questioned. "Rather than someone using me, I'll be using my abilities to the fullest. Perhaps that something I can't do?"

"You're a damn idiot." Amaya stated bluntly, green eyes flashing dangerously as she growled. "You're being too damn arrogant and doing something people most certainly don't wish for!"

"Yes, that is something we can't forgive!" Yuuki agreed, crushing the envelope in her hand. "We will stop this!"

...Silence...

Sara burst out into giggles, her hand covering her mouth elegantly. "What you just said; are you talking about Kaname-San?"

"Hey, Yuuki-San." Sara began, looking at the brunette. "The secrets Kaname-San shouldn't have kept, if I told you about it, will both you and Amaya be my allies?" Amaya's fists clenched and her jaw tightened, her eyes narrowing dangerously. She didn't like Sara and that motion made it very clear.

Takuma had tensed, his forest green eyes widening.

Yuuki's eyes had widened and her face actually showed surprise, "Kaname's..."

Takuma quickly moved in front of Sara and gave the cousins a closed-eye smile. "Yuuki-Chan, Amaya-Chan, could you head back today? It seems that bloodshed is about to occur and it's rather frightening." Amaya blinked in surprise. Yuuki's eyes widened at the strange request.

Sara's eyes narrowed and she said with a warning undertone, "Takuma..." The male blonde tensed and bowed his head, closing his eyes again.

"Yes, my deepest apologies Sara-Sama." Amaya sighed and she felt the urge to burn something.

"It's fine, Takuma. Don't worry about us."

"Yes," Yuuki nodded in agreement. "I never even thought about bloodshed. But we can't just sit by and watch things happen. Just as you said, Sara-San, Kaname is doing things that are not allowed and although it saddens me to scare you, I've heard that he's given a notice saying that you were his next target." Her fists clenched angrily. "No matter what his secret is, I won't let him get his way."

"And my father...I don't understand why he's doing this, but we won't let him nor Kaname get away with this." Amaya growled, eyes squeezed shut as she grounded her teeth angrily together. Why was Jack doing this? Why is he trying to kill all the Pureblood, excluding Yuuki but including Aliza? What was going on with his head? He and Nagamichi were friends and yet he let Kaname... Amaya took a shaky breathe.

"You will protect me, right?" Sara questioned sweetly, her hand on her chin, fer index finger grazing lightly over her bottom lip. Yuuki's eyes were halfway closed as she replied,

"Yes..." She opened them all the way, determination burning in them. "As the authority of the Dorm Leader, I will grant you temporary protection in this dorm room, Sara-San." Yuuki turned to head back to the door where Amaya was standing, ready to leave. "So please, make sure you don't leave this room." Yuuki gave Sara such a sickly sweet smile, it even caused shivers to run down her spine slightly. She did not show any recognition for this however and Yuuki took a little pride in the fact that she made even a Pureblood woman tremble. Amaya hid a smirk as she opened the door and followed her cousin out of the room.

Hanabusa had a hand on his hip as he watched the two girls walk out of the room, unharmed. He let out an relived sigh, "You got out safely, that's good." He then looked at Yuuki and questioned, "Have you told her already?" Amaya closed the door as walked over next to Hanabusa, grabbing his hand and entwining her fingers with his, as Yuuki leaned against the door, frowning deeply.

"To be honest, I never really trusted Sara." Hanabusa gave her an incredulous look,

"You realize that she can probably hear you from the other side of the door, right?"

"After I first met her at the party, I never liked her." Yuuki admitted. Amaya shrugged and stated bluntly,

"I hate her guts." Yuuki and Hanabusa glanced at the girl, sweatdropping. But Yuuki had to wonder, what was Kaname's secret?

'Why is Dad doing all of this? Why did he let Kaname kill...' Amaya's throat went dry and her grip subconsciously tightened on Hanabusa's. The handsome, playboy blonde looked down at her worriedly, eyebrows furrowing.

Yori blinked and turned her head, seeing a student trying to climb out a window. He had wavy brown hair and was wearing thick rimmed glasses which covered up his blue eyes. Yori blinked again and questioned confused, "Class President? Class President, our class is over here." The boy glanced at the girl alarmed, begging,

"W-Wakaba-San! Please, overlook this!" Yori gained question marks above her head in a very Human-Yuuki-like fashion.

...very important time skip for the plot to continue...

"-I didn't think you'd want to go to the Night Class students dorm." Yori stated surprised. 'Kageyama-Kun probably had his memories of the Night Class erased like a few others...' She thought, staring at the boy.

"You too, why did you tag along?" Kageyama questioned, raising a brow. Yori blinked and replied easily,

"I want to visit some of my friends there." The boy was surprised.

"You have friends there!?" Yori nodded and smiled,

"Yup. Although Kiryuu-Kun is probably very aware of what is going on in there, he won't reveal anything to me." She explained. Kageyama sweatdropped,

"Kiryuu-Kun...indeed." He then recalled the memory of a red-haired girl holding the prefects hand and dragging him away somewhere, a long haired brunette girl following the two. "That guy has been hanging out with two Night Class students whom I've never seen before. I was taking my morning walk in the "Forest of Philosophy" when I saw the red haired girl, wearing the white uniform drag him by his hand. They were being followed by a dark haired girl, also wearing a white uniform. That's the Night Class uniform, isn't it? A color different from out black Day Class uniforms." The image of Yuuki repeated in his mind and it felt like something prodded at the back of his head, a tugging on his chest. "That white uniform...the waving long hair..." He placed a hand against his chest as he muttered, questioning no one, "Why does my chest ache when I see her? ...It's almost like a reunion with your first love."

"Kageyama-Kun..." Yori stated, surprised. Although the girl he was describing was Yuuki, could it be...? Yori placed her hands on both sides of her face, blushing at her next thoughts, 'Could it be that his feelings for Ruka-Sempai were so strong, that his memories weren't completely erased? That's so romantic~!' Yori was slightly touched. 'Maybe there are others like him?'

Kageyama saw something white out of the corner of his eye and turned his head, seeing a group of Night Class students munching on some blood tablets like drugs, leaning against a tree.

"White uniform!?" He exclaimed, causing the two students to turn their heads grumpily to stare at them. Kageyama gained stars around him as he smiled goofily, asking, "Um, I'd like to make an inquiry. You're from the Night Class, right? There's this long haired girl, do you know-"

Yori quickly grabbed his wrist, dragging him away stating, "Kageyama-Kun, we should go." He craned his neck to look at her surprised,

"Why!?" He demanded, alarmed. Yori was getting a bad feeling and that feeling was growing by the second.

'Kageyama-Kun...' She thought worriedly as she dragged him through the forest. Kageyama turned his head to glance back at the Night Class students, only to blink in surprise.

"Huh, they're chasing us." His eyes widened. "Ah, the long haired girl and the red head!" He exclaimed, causing Yori to stop walking. She paused and turned her head to glance at Yuuki, Amaya, and Zero. Kageyama pouted, "And Kiryuu." Yori tightened her grip on Kageyama's wrist, smiling slightly at the sight of the trio being back together, and tugged on his wrist and redirecting his attention to the blonde.

"Let's go, Kageyama-Kun. Hurry." The brunette nodded surprised and let the blonde drag him back to the Academy.

The Night Class students stared each other down. One of the two Vampires, Kukai, demanded, "Please step aside, Dorm Head-Sama." Amaya sighed in boredom and scratched the side of her head, looking at Yuuki and questioning,

"Want me to handle this? It's just two goonies." Yuuki sighed and nodded, cracking a small smile.

"Sure, go ahead. Just don't beat them with Luna." Amaya laughed.

"Sure thing, but I can't make no promises. Hear that, Zero?" She glanced up at the silver-haired prefect. "My job, stand back."

"Hurry up then." Amaya gained an annoyed look, going into chibi mode, as she glanced at him. She turned her head back to the Vampires, deeply annoyed. She stormed over to the two Vampires, the tips of her red hair catching on fire but no burning anything, and roughly grabbed Kukai's collar. The dark haired man exclaimed,

"Wh-!?"

"Why the hell did you do it!?" Amaya demanded, shaking the man slightly before pinning him to a tree. She was furious and even more of her hair caught on fire. "You were actually going to chase those two earlier-you wanted to chase Yori and the Class President, didn't you!? Don't tell you've forgotten the treaty!? Yours and Yuuki's agreement!? Are you really that stupid or is just because of these damn blood tablets!?" She released Kukai with one hand and yanked the tablets out of his hand, growling. She released the man and took a few steps back, shouting at him, pissed off beyond all reason, "If you can't uphold the treaty to not harm any humans during the Academic year, than why did you come to Cross Academy!?" She demanded. She then stormed over to the blonde, Tadase, and yanked his blood tablets out of his hand as well. She held them in her hand and focused all her fury on the blood tablet packets, seeing as that was what made her so angry, and lit them on fire, burning them to a crisp and watching as their ashes floated in wind.

"My tablets..." One of them muttered. Yuuki stared up at the two students and said,

"You forgetting such things was the cause of those tablets, wasn't it?" She then watched alarmed when the two Vampires charged at Amaya, biting into her right arm and left leg harshly. Amaya let out a small scream of surprise and instantly started to get dizzy. The process of blood draining from you is much faster when it's two Vampires who are biting you. "Amaya!" She cried out in alarm and gained a ridiculous, completely and totally insane idea that Amaya and Aiko would be so proud of. She bit her wrist, wincing at the pain, and then her other arm, tearing the uniform sleeve as she dragged her fangs across the fragile skin.

At the scent of Yuuki's blood, they released a rather dizzy Amaya, who collapsed on the ground on her knees, palms pressed against the grassy ground, and charged at Yuuki, biting her arm and wrist painfully.

"Ugh...I'm all tired now..." Amaya let out a yawn to prove her point and groaned, flinching, at the pounding in her head. Zero tensed instantly, the sweet scent of Amaya's blood floating around in the air. His throat started to feel parched and his mouth went dry.

Zero quickly pulled out Bloody Rose and pointed it at the two rouge Vampires.

"BRING THEM BACK!" Tadase screamed, pissed as he gorged down Yuuki's blood, only to relax slightly as the sweet and thick liquid gushed into his mouth and down his throat. The same thing was happening to Kukai. Yuuki let out a small grunt and glanced up at Zero, hearing him pull out the gun, and cried out,

"Don't interfere, Zero!" She ordered. She glanced back down at the two Vampires who were feeding off of her. "It's fine...check on Amaya." Zero's eyes widened and he was ultimately conflicted, but he decided to do as she said. He slowly walked over to the redhead who was still kneeling on the ground, the dizziness vanishing slightly as her blood rejuvenated.

"Hey...Zero." Amaya greeted weakly, cracking a weary grin. The prefect was unimpressed and the smell of her blood was starting to drive him crazy. His fist clenched slightly and his mouth was drier than ever. Amaya frowned, seeing this, and made a quick decision. She did it in the past so...what would be the difference? She lifted her hand up to her mouth and slashed part of her palm with her fangs, blood dripping down her wrist. She lifted her hand up to Zero and said, who's lilac eyes were wide with shock and slight anger, "You're hungry, right? I know how crappy blood tablets are, besides, we used to do this all the time-so what's the difference?" Zero's eyes narrowed and he replied,

"I'm fine." Amaya shot back immediately, glaring,

"No, damn it, you're not! I can see it clear as day, you're hungry! Besides, it's not like I'm human anymore, so therefore we wouldn't be breaking any rules! And, like I told you before, I won't let you hurt anyone else! I'd kick your ass if you did, now shut up, get down here, and drink my damn blood already before you snap and attack an innocent human!" Zero was frozen at that arguement and Amaya tried a different, going with the Fullmetal Alchemist theory instead. "Equivalent Exchange. I drank from you, you drink from me. There?" Zero slowly got down on one knee, glaring coldly at the green eyes girl in front of him.

He gripped her wrist tightly, listing her hand up to his mouth and growling, "Don't think this'll happen again." Amaya shrugged, used to this attitude.

"You said that before, didn't you?" Zero didn't answer, his lilac eyes flashing red, as he placed the cut against his mouth and buried his fangs into the palm of her hand, drinking her blood.

"Calm down." Yuuki told Kukai and Tadase, and partially to Zero as well. "Recall your old self." During this, flashes of Zero and Amaya's past flashed through their heads of all the times Amaya had Zero drink her blood when she was human and he a Level-E. "Remember the purpose of coming to this Academy."

Amaya started to feel dizzy again and Zero removed her hand from his mouth, wiping the blood away with his hand and not meeting her gaze. Zero had calmed down considerably, but was still craving for more of the ginger's blood.

Not long after, Kukai and Tadase removed themselves from Yuuki, her blood dripping down their lips and trailing their chins.

"Ah..." Tadase gasped and looked at the sight before him, and glanced up seeing Yuuki. He recoiled alarmed and horrified at what he had done. Kukai had done the same. The two Vampires knelt down in front of Yuuki, ashamed.

"How-How could I have...done such a thing!?" Tadase cried out.

"What ever the punishment is, we'll accept it-!" Kukai tried to say, only to have Yuuki cut them off, surprised and a bit alarmed at their reactions.

"No-No, it's fine! No punishment!" Yuuki was surprised that he plan actually worked. 'They've returned back to normal...because of my blood? If a Pureblood's blood caused this, then only the purest Pureblood's blood could reverse it.' She thought. She knelt down in front of Kukai and Tadase and told them, "It's fine. There's not going to be any punishment. Speaking of which, it's still day time, so head back to your dorms."

"But-" Kukai tried.

"It's fine." Yuuki told him, smiling gently. Zero and Amaya were making their way back to Yuuki by now. "I know you guys didn't mean it, so I don't mind." She caught sight of a spider with cerulean blue eyes crawling on Kukai's shoulder. She picked it up and frowned, taking note of it's eye color. 'Sara.' She thought as she stood, the spider quickly disintegrating into the wind. "Sara." She frowned deeply and turned to an emotionless Zero and a wounded Amaya, whose cuts were already healing-slowly, but they were healing. "Thanks for earlier, Zero-"

"Stay away from me, the both of you." Zero ordered, a distressed look forming on his face as the scent of pomegranates and roses filled his nostrils. He was still craving blood, to be specific, Amaya's blood, but that didn't mean he would be able to control himself so easily with fresh blood wafting in the air. He turned around and walked away, wiping off the access blood on his lips with his sleeve. Amaya clenched her fists, Yuuki grabbing her wounded arms. Unbeknownst to them, another spider with cerulean blue eyes was watching them.

Sara giggled from her room, gripping onto the leash she had placed on the Hanadagi Vampire servant, who was currently dressed as a maid. "So strange, those three." Sara leaned forward and whispered in the servant's ear, "If it were me, I'd instigate. I'm looking forward to how this situation will turn out." The servant gained a distressed look, exclaiming,

"Thinking about that again, just like towards my Master...Hanadagi-Sama was attacked out of the blue. Do you want to bring misfortune to others?"

Outside of the room, Zero approached Hanabusa, who regarded the prefect coolly.

"Kiryuu." He caught the scent of Pomegranates on Zero, the scent mixing with his own minty smell. Hanabusa frowned deeply, having a feeling that Zero drank some of Amaya's blood. It pissed him off to no end, this Vampire Hunter.

"If it's possible, I'd like to take watch over this room from you." Zero told him, voice low and slightly quiet. Hanabusa frowned, observing the prefect. His bangs were covering half of his face and his lilac eyes were half-lidded. He had the look of conflict and distress written all over his face.

BACK INSIDE THE ROOM,

"That's right." Sara told the servant, smiling sweetly. "Making disobedient people act according to my will...is my favorite thing to do." She stroked the dark skinned vampire servant's cheek and trailed her nails teasingly down her neck. "Just like you..." She removed her hand and headed over to the door, cracking it open enough to glance out at Zero. She smiled at him, "Thank you very much for keeping a look out."

Zero's arms were crossed as he coldly regarded Sara, barely casting her a glance.

"I have something important I haven't been able to tell Yuuki-San." She told the prefect. Sara then slid out of the room and walked up to Kiryuu, whispering in his ear. She pulled away with a smile on her face, leaving Zero to place a hand on his head in alarm. He then smirked and chuckled coldly, removing his hand slowly from his face.

"Even if you hide it, I'll definitely find them."

X.X

Yuuki placed her hands on her hips, tugging at the black prefect badge she was wearing on her arm, shouting,

"There is currently a routine items inspection going on right now!" She declared, causing the entire room of Vampires of glance up at her surprised.

"Those arm bands..." Rima noted, surprised at what Amaya and Yuuki were wearing.

Amaya grinned madly, cupping her hands over her mouth, shouting, "If you don't want us to tears this place down brick by stupid brick, then hand over all those freaking new blood tablets that you currently have in your possession!" And it all went to hell and back from there.

While the Vampires freaked out about having their blood tablets taken away, Aiko took the pleasure of casting a worried glance at Senri and quietly snuck out of the classroom.

"WAIT!" Yuuki screamed at the rampaging vampires. "PLEASE WAIT!"

"Yuuki, you're doing it all wrong!" Amaya scolded, holding a female Vampire's shirt collar. "You do it like this-STOP SCREAMING DAMN IT!" And slung the poor vampire over her shoulder, tossing her at Rima who caught her and slammed her onto the ground. Yuuki and a few others sweatdropped at Amaya's violent tendencies.

"Um, is there anything I can do to help?" Maria asked Rima, who was holding down the blonde haired vampire that was slammed over Amaya's shoulder.

"Hold her down here," Rima replied calmly, pressing down on the girl's back and sending a few bouts of electricity here and there throught eh girl's body to keep her paralyzed.

"Okay." Maria said and knelt down, holding the girl's legs. A boy with brown hair, Benjiro, charged at Yuuki angrily screaming,

"RETURN MY BLOOD TABLETS TO ME!" Yuuki screamed in alarmed and ran into the hallway, slamming the door closed and leaning against it panting.

"That was frightening-gah!" She grunted and gasped when the boy slammed his head THROUGH the door and bit down on her arm roughly, draining her of some of her blood. Hanabusa saw this and cried out in alarm,

"Hey-!"

"WAH! GET OFF OF ME BEFORE I KICK YO ASS, BIATCH!" Amaya screamed and yanked the Vampire off of her, grabbing a handful of his shirt and slamming him against the wall, right next to where Hanabusa was standing. He screamed and jumped five feet in the air, especially when the vampire's hair lit on fire. The Vampire screamed and patted the fire out, groaning as he fell against the wall.

"Tablets, give me my tablets!"

"Nevah!" Amaya declared dramatically, striking a pose only to be bombarded by Vampires and get bit ferociously. "Geh offa meh!" And the room just dropped ten degrees...

"She said, let her go!" Hanabusa growled, running over as fast as lightning and yanking them all off of her, only to have them bite him instead. "Ow, damn it, ow, ow, ow-let go!" Amaya helped pull them all off of him and he quickly froze their arms and feet to the ground. He sighed, running a hand through his hair and glanced back at Yuuki. He quickly charged at the Vampire, gripping the back of his shirt collar, and yanking him away from Yuuki, shouting, "Do you even know who she is!?" He demanded, "Let go!" The boy did so and when Hanabusa saw his face, he was a little more than shocked. The boy's expression was horrified.

"Eh? What-What have I done?" He questioned himself, hands shaking as Yuuki's blood trailed down his lips. He buried his face in his hands, "How could I have-!?"

"As I thought!" Yuuki declared triumphantly, blood soaking her uniform as her wounds healed up. Hanabusa blinked when Yuuki poked her head out of the hole in the door, determined, "Aidou-Sempai, let everyone drink my blood!"

"Let me go!" The girl Rima paralyzed earlier demanded, face pressed harshly against the ground. "Return my blood tablets to me!"

Rima sighed and placed her hand against the girl's shoulder, sending a few more volts of electricity through the girl and paralyzing her again. Rima stood as Maria questioned,

"Do I leave this person here?"

"Yes, because the Dorm Head and Vice Dorm Head said to suppress those who have gone ballistic." She watched as another Vampire moved into their general are declaring and demanding,

"WHERE ARE MY BLOOD TABLETS!?" Rima then remembered Aiko, who left during the very beginning of the scene, and realized her human friend could be in danger. Rima quickly glanced at Shiki and questioned hurriedly,

"Senri, you weren't affected by the Blood tablets, right?" Senri glanced up at Rima surprised but shook his head slowly.

"No, not yet." He squeezed the empty packet of blood tablets he was holding, the action going unnoticed by Rima in her worry for her human friend. "I think I'm fine for now."

"Aiko went missing, she's in danger because of the state everyone is in. Can you go find her? I saw her leave earlier, right before everything went ballistic." Senri looked surprised, but figured that was why he hadn't been able to detect her scent while everyone was rampaging around. Senri nodded slowly,

"Sure."

"I would come too, but I'm needed here. I can paralyze the others." Rima explained. Senri nodded again and made to leave the room, but not before Rima called after him, "Senri...Be careful." She wasn't sure why she was telling him this, but it was most likely because she didn't want him to attack anybody.

He had ate a whole sheet of the poisonous blood tablets after all. After seeing what they can do, she had every right to be worried for the man and human who she had come to consider as family. Senri calmly left the classroom, following the extremely sweet scent of candy that seemed to lead to the boy dorms.

"Aidou-Sempai, how's this side doing?" Yuuki questioned Hanabusa, who was holding up a vile of Yuuki's blood, which was almost completely empty.

"Ah, everyone drank. Honestly, because this is the finest of blood, I don't think any Vampire rejected it." Hanabusa replied, staring at the vile uneasily. Vampires from all around were horrified at what they had done and were making comments like,

"What have I done?"

"I-I can't believe I-"

"I...shit."

"Awesome!" Amaya exclaimed, pumping a fist in the air. Yuuki nodded in agreement.

"That's great! Alright! We must do this because blood tablets such as these are on the markets everywhere!" Yuuki took off, only to have the couple shout after her,

"Yuuki!" Amaya.

"Hold up." Hanabusa ordered. Yuuki paused and winced at Hanabusa's deadpan look. "It's not clear what proportion of it is on the market. If we do that, your blood will be drained entirely." Yuuki sweatdropped, while Amaya face-palmed at her cousin's stupidity. Yuuki gripped her healing wrist and said slowly,

"Yeah..." She dragged out the end of the word and placed some of her fingers against her chin. "If that really happened..." If Yuuki's blood was drained, she wouldn't be able to get more blood.

"If the other party is making use of blood tablets, we too should use the same method." Hanabusa though aloud, coming up with an idea. He smirked and glanced down at his fiance for a moment, who returned the grin, and then looked at Yuuki, asking, "Right?"

"Takuma...why where you watching us that long?" Amaya questioned the blonde, who was leaning with his arms crossed against a door, frowning.

"Ichijou?" Hanabusa questioned, frowning. What happened to the happy-go-lucky Vampire who loved mornings? What was with this depression?

"That's right!" Yuuki exclaimed in realization. "There's probably a pharmaceutical department at Ichijou-Sempai's Company, right?"

"It's precisely that pharmaceutical department that is producing the current blood tablets, right, Ichijou?" Hanabusa questioned, not bothering to use honorifics. There was a silence and Yuuki and Amaya were more than confused when Takuma regarded them coldly as he left the classroom. Amaya blinked confused.

"Takuma...?' She whispered, confused at his harsh actions. What happened to one of her best friends? The boy she and Aiko hung out with at the library and read all the manga that they actually ended up having to go to the Day Class library for the manga, only to head to town? What happened to the man she shouted she'd beat up if he left his briefs on the floor during inspection day? What happened to him? Clearly it was Sara's fault and Amaya cursed herself for forgetting the manga.

"What now?" Hanabusa asked Yuuki. "Stop the production?" Yuuki glanced at him confused, asking,

"What are you asking? We're going to continue with the production." Amaya blinked and looked around a few times, asking confused,

"Where's Senri and Aiko?" Rima was here, but the other two were gone...Huh, weird. Amaya dismissed the thought.

X.X

Senri followed the sweet scent of candy to the boys dorm and he was more than surprised when he found where the scent ended. Senri placed a hand against the door, pushing it open even further-as it was already cracked open when he arrived- and questioned,

"Aiko? What are you doing in my room?" Aiko froze from her spot beside his desk where he kept his blood tablets, a packet of the new poisoned blood tablet packet in her hand. Senri's throat parched slightly at the sight of long neck...His mouth felt dry and he could hear her blood rushing through her veins. The rhythmic beating of her heart... Her steady breathing and the scent of her fear when Senri spoke. She didn't expect to get caught. Senri's vision was tinted with red as he licked his lips, mouth extremely dry.

Senri wanted nothing more than to sink his fangs into her beautiful neck and have her extremely sweet blood gush into his mouth and travel down his throat... To feel her tremble underneath his grip as he drank from her, trembling and moaning in ecstasy as the sound of him drinking her blood reached into her ears... Senri bit his cheek hard enough to draw blood. It quickly healed though.

"S-Senri!? What are you d-doing here? I thought-I thought you were with Rima!" Aiko's lilac eyes were wide and her beat even faster. She snuck into Senri's dorm room to take all the poisonous blood tablets and give them to Amaya so she could burn them. She didn't want Senri to go ballistic like everyone once. She didn't think she would be caught.

"Give me the blood tablets, Aiko." Senri told her calmly, taking a step forward. He remained to keeping a far distance from her thought as he outstretched his hand towards the girl, palm open to receive the tablets. He felt...protective of the tablets. He felt like he needed them. Aiko pressed herself against the wall, taking a step back, and clutched the packet to her chest, shaking her head widely.

"No way, Senri!" Her split personality was starting to kick in. "These packets are dangerous! As a prefect I need to confiscate them-" Senri's usually calm and bored stone blue eyes flashed and changed into a dangerous blood red as he demanded loudly, charging at the poor girl and unable to control himself any longer,

"Give me the damn blood tablets!" He pressed Aiko against the wall, gripping her wrists tightly and pressing himself against, licking her neck slowly. A gasp escaped the brunette and her grip loosened on the packet, it falling and clattering against the ground. Senri paid it no mind however. He only wanted this blood. Her blood. Aiko's blood. Besides, he was far too gone to care about his actions anymore.

A dark red blush spread across Aiko's cheeks as her lilac eyes widened, realizing what Senri was planning to do.

"Senri, stop-!"

It felt like two inch-thick needles buried themselves into her neck. Pain flared through her body like a wild fire. She could hear Senri drink her blood and that sound alone caused her to shiver and make Senri tighten his grip on her wrists, digging his fangs even deeper into her neck.

It didn't hurt as much as it did when Rido bit her when he controlled Senri's body, but it still hurt. Well, it started to turn into a numb sort of feeling by now, really. She shivered at the feel of her blood leaving her body and a small moan escaped her, Senri having bitten down on a soft spot. She could feel Senri's lips rise up into a smirk against her skin and her face turned even redder. Aiko started to get dizzy and she opened her eyes, looking at Senri from the corner of her eyes.

"S-Senri...stop it." She protested weakly, feeling weaker by the second. Senri couldn't stop-he wouldn't stop. Not after so long of craving this girl's blood, this girl who plagued his thoughts everyday and made him crave her... He finally can- "S-Senri!" His eyes snapped open and the red hue quickly vanished, revealing the stone blue. He stopped drinking and pulled away from Aiko's neck, staring at her paler-than-usual form.

"Ai-Aiko..." Her blood was dripping down his mouth and smudged over his lips. He could feel it drip down his chin and could clearly see the blood trail down her neck and stain her hair. Her lilac eyes were wide as she stared at him, their eyes locking as they stared at each other. Senri slowly placed his hands on both sides of her face and lifted her head up slightly, entangling some of his fingers in her dark brown hair, staring deeply into her eyes. "I..." If Aiko was blushing before, she was as red as the blood staining Senri's lips by now. They were so close... Aiko swallowed. "I'm sorry." Aiko blinked dumbly and before she knew it, she tasted blood. Her blood.

Aiko's heart felt like it might explode, pounding so hard and loud, she was sure Senri could hear it. Senri pressed his lips against hers, moving his lips against hers in an attempt to response back. Tears pricked Aiko's eyes in relief and her shoulders shook slightly as she pressed back, loving every second of this. She didn't care if she could taste her own blood, the same blood that stained Senri's lips from when he bit her and drank her blood, he was kissing her and that was all that mattered. The man she loved was kissing her.

Okay, it happened once before last year, when Amaya and Yuuki were still human, when Yuuki accidentally pushed Senri on top of her when she was running. But they both agreed that a kiss doesn't really count if there's no feeling in it. So they forgot all about it. Well, Aiko didn't. She was so sure that Senri did though...

Senri pulled away and rested his head Aiko's shoulder, muttering, "I've always craved your blood...A few months after I knew you, I craved it so much I wouldn't be satisfied until I drank your blood until you were nearly dry." He took a slightly shaky breathe, relaxed all of the sudden. "I love you." And there's his blunt comment. Aiko's face burned as she stuttered, surprised and happy beyond anything,

"I-I love you t-too..." And the lightheaded-ness comes back.. "I'm all dizzy now... Good night." Aiko let out a yawn and went limp, falling against Shiki who wrapped his arms around her, her head resting against his shoulder.

Senri sighed in disbelief. Of course she would faint, right after he admitted his feelings to her. Then again, he did drink a bit too much of her delicious and addicting blood... He leaned down and licked the bite mark, causing it to close up. He then walked over to his bed and set her down, deciding to stay head over to Takuma and stay with him for now...He couldn't hurt Aiko like that again. He paused at the door and glanced down at the unconscious brunette who was lying on the blue sheets.

"...Sorry, Aiko..." And left, silently closing the door behind him.
