Sorry its been so long...I had to stop distracting myself to study for some major exams. I'll try to update more often. And thank you to all the people reading and reviewing my story.

Yuki and I were in the Headmaster's bathroom. She had the hairdryer while I had my damp towel over my wet hair and my toothbrush in my mouth. *SLAM* I saw in the mirror that Zero had just walked in. I continued to brush my teeth as the other two argued. 'What are you doing in here?' she yelled. He yelled back, 'Bite Me! The dorm showers are closed until dawn!' I rolled my eyes. Zero took off his shirt and said, 'It's not that I'd want you to look at you anyway.' Picking up the bar of soap, Yuki chucked it. 'Don't just come in and start stripping! Tsuki and I are still girls!' I spit out the foam from my mouth and started rinsing. Yuki stared at Zero with the evil eyes and said, 'You're thinking 'No, you're not!', didn't you? I can read your mind, jerk.'
'Yuki, I still need to use the hairdryer, you know.' She turned back to the mirror and continued to dry her hair as I started to rub mine with my towel. Zero leaned over her and sniffed. Yuki just cringed and said 'What?' As they talked I just realised something. Yuki was at least a head shorter than Zero. If you add another head, she'll be just as tall as him. I giggled and Zero and Yuki looked at me, with looks questioning my giggle. I just positioned my hand above my head and said, 'Look in the mirror.' I quickly sat up on the bathroom counter and steamed up the mirror above Yuki's head and drew in a finger face. 'Now Yuki is as tall as you, Zero!' I said with a small giggle.
Now Yuki and Zero were laughing. 'What? It wasn't that funny?' Yuki just pointed to her hair, the other hand clutching her stomach while she was laughing. I jumped off the counter and looked in the mirror. The towel had slipped off to reveal my hair, still messy from trying to rub it dry, looked like an oversize poodle.
We all laughed at my funny hair until I got my hands on a brush and brushed it out.

By the time I had heard the shower water finish running, Yuki was in the Girl's Dorm asleep. I sat outside of the Headmaster's Bathroom, waiting for Zero. I could hear him gasping, which is never a good sign. I quickly opened the door to see him sitting on the floor all tense. His hand was around his throat. I kneeled in front of him and I put my hands on his shoulders, forcing him to focus on me. 'Zero, calm down.' I kept repeating that until he was finally still. He was still gasping but he seemed in control. 'Zero?' He looked at me with a look of distress, sadness and fear on his face. Since he was dressed, I helped him up and took his hand in mine. In my other hand was Zero's uniform.
As we headed to the Sun Dorms, I saw the Headmaster looking out the window. Ours eyes met but I turned away quickly. I had to be careful. It seems he would have a fit any time.
We finally made it to his dorm. I rummaged through his pockets and found his key. I slipped it through the key hole and twisted the knob, opening the door. I lead Zero into his room and made him sit on his bed. His breathing was calm but his face was still twisted by the fear. 'Zero? Are you alright?', I asked softly. He didn't answer so I wrapped my arms around him. I could feel the shivers as he sat there. Soon his arms wrapped around mine, as if that was keeping him sane.
After a short while, he said, 'Tsuki, I'm fine now. Thank you.' I leaned back, releasing him. I looked as his face. It was a look of loneliness. I sat down next to him, leaning my head on his shoulder. 'You know I'll always be with you right?' He looked down at me with a slight look of comfort. 'That's what siblings are for. Now smile.' I lifted my hand and placed it around his mouth, trying to stretch it into a smile. He just pulled it off and smiled, for real.
'Do you realise what we're becoming?' he asked. I looked up nodding and I added, 'But is it necessarily bad? You could still protect Yuki as a vampire. Just as long we don't become Level E.' His head turned away as I said Level E. I cupped his face and turned it back so he was looking at me and I whispered, 'And we won't' Giving him a small kiss on the cheek, I stood up and waved. Then I opened his window and jumped into the window in the next building – my room.
As I pulled up the covers over myself, I just hoped that Zero was going to be okay.
