After all the years of living, she knew that one of the biggest tasks that a vampire had was to learn how to blend into the hoards of humans. Act like one until they believed you. It was the first and easiest rule. You had to enroll into their schools, their community programs, and their jobs to play the role right. Pick whichever role suited you best and play it with perfection.

Well, after all these years, she'd concluded that a student was the easiest role to play. Not too much work, easy prey, and her youthful looks helped her blend in perfectly. However, if she had to pick one big downside, it would probably be how long and dull the lessons were-especially if you'd seen the same ones at least a dozen times over.

Once again, Miyuki was being forced to sit down and "learn" the same math problem that she had seen from the last four schools she went to. It was boring having to sit and act as though any of this was new, but you grow used to these sorts of things-somewhat. The really annoying thing was having to take notes on it-or at least be as convincing as possible. But, as it was the rule, she had to play the role as best as she could. Besides, it was important that she act as though she were paying attention. After all-

"Shiki." Fuyu-sensei looked her in the eyes with an authoritative look. "Would you like to come up and write the answer for number seven?"

It was always odd-and a little gross-watching these humans look at her like a child when she was far older than any of them. Regardless, she put on her best respectful smile. "Of course." She got up to her feet and walked to the board-not walking too fast otherwise she'd come off as cocky. Effortlessly-but trying to make it look like there was some effort-she answered the question.

Looking back towards her teacher, she patiently waited for confirmation. As soon as he said "correct" Miyuki gave a slight smile and sat back down. She saw the glint of pride in Fuyu's eyes, and she knew that pride was pointed at himself for "teaching" her the lesson so well. Miyuki had to hold back a laugh when she noticed.

Of course she was able to answer the question easily; after all, she was paying so much attention in class.

This time, she had to have her hand go over her mouth-trying to make her look like she was trying to concentrate-because she couldn't hold back the smile that pulled at the corners of her lips. While these classes were excessively boring, there was some enjoyment to take from it, and it was how easy it was to read humans. There was little she needed to figure them out other than to simply watch them, it grew easier and easier by the years. Being able to read them with this much ease, brought to much joy it was hard to hide it.

...However, what little enjoyment she could find from her game of pretend was ruined-once again-by an irritating presence. She knew better than to look behind her, but she knew exactly where it was coming from. 'His name is Sakamaki something, right?' She listlessly thought in her head. It didn't take long to figure out the name of the other pureblood family that was also enrolled into the school, it also helped that they were fairly infamous.

Whoever he was though, Miyuki only cared about one simple fact, he was a very annoying classmate. He never talked to her, but she could always feel his presence drilling into her. She knew there was no point in even looking at him, but feeling this much anger from another vampire was stirring her own savage nature, and she didn't appreciate that.

Of course, it was natural for purebloods to not be very fond of each other's presence-call it a predatorial thing-but he was certainly pushing it. She could randomly taste his anger in class, and she knew it was pointed at her for some reason. 'It doesn't matter how much you hate sharing a territory, there's no reason to be this angry all the time! It's very distracting.' She complained in her head.

. . .

The ringing of the bell always felt like a breath of fresh air. Not only does she get a break from the mind numbingly boring lessons, but the Sakamaki-boy does not hesitate for a moment to leave. With him out the way, she can continue to enjoy her game in peace.

And, like always, her game naturally flocked towards her at the sound of the bell.

With her perfect smile, she looked up at the wide-eyed humans that looked at her eagerly. It had been three weeks, but she still hasn't decided on a group of "friends" yet, so everyone was still trying hard to get her to join one of theirs.

"Shiki-chan, can I missed the lesson from yesterday, can I see your notes?"

Of course.

"Shiki-chan, want to try one of the onigiri that I made?"

Of course.

"Shiki-chan, can you tell me where you got your notebook set from?"

Of course.

Each question and request came like this everyday, and it was so easy to please everyone. Just smile, look them in the eyes, and act as though you give a damn.

"Shiki-chan, do you want to eat with me and Maya-chan today? I have an extra meal coupon if you want to use it."

Miyuki had already thought over this the other night, and she knew what she'd be doing for lunch. She knew there was a pair of brown eyes staring at her longingly across the way, and she knew these eyes belonged to a very restless and insecure girl. 'I have been neglecting her lately after all.' With a single glance over, Miyuki was able to confirm what she already knew was the case.

"Sorry, I said I'd spend lunch with Tanaka-chan." Miyuki said with an apologetic smile, and then she looked over at the girl with dull brown eyes.

With her eyes bright with joy, she nodded eagerly. "Y-Yeah." With that, she took somewhat confident steps toward Miyuki-leaving her two friends without a second glance.

Miyuki just smiled up at her and got up on her feet to lead them both out of the classroom-after giving one quick wave to everyone. She could feel the looks of envy pointed towards Tanaka's back. At this point, everyone saw Miyuki as the shiny new toy of the class, and they all wanted to play with her. They were like children getting jealous over the one kid that got to monopolize the toy for the day.

She glanced up at Tanaka who nervously walked right next to her, and she could see the ghost of a smile at her lips. 'She's happy she's the child everyone has to envy for today. How cute. How predictable.'

"...Sh-Shiki-san?" Tanaka finally spoke up after a moment of silence between them. Miyuki only looked at her in acknowledgment. "...Why did you tell everyone you made plans with me?"

'Because you've been getting needy without me, haven't you?' "Because we haven't been able to spend a lot of time together." As she said this, she noticed Tanaka's face tinting a little red at the comment. Since the halls were empty, Miyuki put on a little grin. She moved closer and locked their arms together-making Tanaka all but jump at the contact. She could feel the human girl's pulse quicken at this touch.

Tanaka was a good five or six centimeters taller than Miyuki, but Miyuki was well aware of how much control this girl gave up under her touch.

"We haven't seen each other since last time have we?" Miyuki said with the ever so slight purr to her voice, but still retaining that 'perfect-girl' voice everyone in this school was familiar with-that everyone in this school was in love with. As she watched Tanaka shiver and become speechless under this turn of conversation, Miyuki slightly licked her lips. "Hey, Tanaka-chan, are you actually hungry?"

It took the poor human girl a moment, but she eventually shook her head "no."

'Well I'm starving.'

. . .

As soon as the bell rang for lunch, Subaru immediately headed towards the roof of the school. It was a normal destination of his on a normal day, but he'd been growing more and more eager to get the hell out of class as soon as he could.

He took a seat as his usual spot right next to the door-so that he could immediately tell any wanderers to scram-and he tried to calm himself down. His muscles felt tense, and his head was aching. It was inconvenient that he couldn't just teleport straight to the roof from the classroom, so he had to hear the very shit that was annoying the hell out of him as he walked out the class.

Even with the quiet night air, there was still the echoing noise of all the idiots in his class. "Shiki-chan, can you help me with the work sheet?" "Shiki-chan, do you want to have tea with us after school?" "Shiki-chan, what do you think of my new phone charm?" "Shiki-chan, do you want anything from the vending machine?" "Shiki-chan" "Shiki-chan" "Shiki-chan" just hearing it over and over in his head was making him tempted to make a hole in the wall.

It was getting more and more irritating every time he had to hear her name being called out in class. Even the teacher's voices saying her name were annoying. It wasn't even because of how often they said her name-actually, that was more than a little infuriating at this point-but it was also just the way they said her name. It's as though they were all fucking worshiping her by just saying her name. It was almost pathetic how much they were begging her for her attention, and how much they treated her like a treasure.

Taking in a deep breath, he felt his body loosen up somewhat, but he couldn't shake off that headache of his…

Just sitting in that class was a hassle. Every fiber in his being was reminded of what she was by just being that close to her. At first, her scent was too faint to really notice, but once he caught a whiff of it on the first day he could never run away from it. As soon as he saw her or felt she was near, he could already smell her right afterwards. It was the unmistakable stench of a pureblood.

There was just something so frustrating about the way that everyone's eyes were shining and glowing as they looked at her, when every inch of him was screaming what she was. She was a monster that would not hesitate to ripe any of those wide-eyed-idiots apart if she wanted to.

After another moment of fuming over this again, he just let out an annoyed sigh as he opted to lay down instead. 'Whatever, let them be swallowed up by her. Maybe they'll keep calling out 'Shiki-chan' 'Shiki-chan' even when she has them between her teeth.'

After a moment of the peaceful wind blowing away those annoying voices, he looked up at the black sky.

'As long as she doesn't try to touch her, nothing else really matters.' He told himself the same thing he told himself over and over. Yet, no matter how much he tried to reason with himself, there was still that burning need to rip off that head full of black curls.

. . .

"...Ahh!" She cried out, and immediately bit down on her bottom lip in an attempt to stop anymore noise from coming out. However, it was futile, and low moans and groans still began to pour out as her body was filled with ecstasy. Her face even began to darken at the shame of not being able to hold back her sounds of pleasure. "Mmnn! Nnn! Hahhh! Haahhhh!"

Miyuki couldn't help but grin at the sight. Tanaka was twitching and reddening all over more and more. Just to get more of a reaction, Miyuki began to quicken her strokes against the part she likes the most inside. From that, she struggled even further to conceal her noises, and she almost screamed.

Despite her constant struggle to hold herself together, Miyuki knew very well that it was this struggle that made the girl ever more aroused. The thought of anyone catching her on her hands and knees, her uniform in complete disarray, both of her breasts fully exposed as a pale hand relentlessly tormented them, and her panties pulled down for pale fingers-three to be exact-to penetrate her wet hole. 'This one can be quite a masochist.' Miyuki thought with a smile, as she pinched down on her darkening nipple.

With tears running down her face, and drool down her mouth, she slowly began to lose more and more strength. "Ahhh! Aaaahhh! Sh-Shiki-san! Mmmnnn!"

Miyuki couldn't help but huff out a little giggle to the sound of her name. She pulled out her fingers from the warm vagina-earning a needy whine from Tanaka-and flipped her over onto her back. She looked directly into those pale brown eyes as she smiled sweetly at the girl, and Tanaka shivered with desire. Miyuki, never breaking eye contact, slowly spread apart the girl's legs and tucked herself between them. Then, with no warning, shoved back in her three fingers into the already loosened hole.

Tanaka would have screamed out in pain in pleasure, had Miyuki not shoved her lips over hers. 'I suppose she earned herself a little treat.' A techniqued kiss continued on-lead completely by Miyuki-as she kept a quick and hard rhythm against the parts this girl desired to be touched. Miyuki broke the kiss and began to use her other hand to begin once again grope harshly on her breast.

Miyuki could feel it through the shaking of Tanaka's body, that she was getting closer to her second climax. So, with a grin, she began to press her face into the nape of her neck, and lightly rubbed her completely clothed body against hers. She began to leave little kisses and slowly lick at a part of her shoulder, and the hand that was playing with her breasts had slowly moved to caressing her arched back. When Tanaka-who has lost all will to try being quiet-finally found her release, Miyuki stretched out her fangs and bit down on the spot she was marking with her lips and tongue.

Tanaka was too lost in her after orgasm glow to notice the vampire enjoying her quick meal.

. . .

'Well that was satisfying.' Miyuki thought to herself. She was sitting comfortably on one of the chairs in the empty classroom, and was happily musing to herself as Tanaka was rushing to put her clothes back in order. Miyuki had her back to Tanaka, so she couldn't see her expression, but she knew Tanaka was trying to keep a smile of her own hidden. 'She really likes this attention I'm giving her doesn't she? Well, I am the most exciting thing in her life right now.'

Miyuki licked her lips in content as she felt refreshed after that feeding. Not to mention, it was nice that there was no hassle removing and putting back on her own clothes. That's why she always thought girls were easier to deal with, because there was no need to do anything other than to get them to the point of orgasm. Thankfully, she had plenty of experience to do just that without needing to put any strain on herself.

Finally, she glanced up at the clock, and noticed the time. 'It'd do me no good to be late for class.' She got up to her feet and looked over to Tanaka with a smile. "It's getting late, she should start heading to class." Tanaka flinched at the comment, and began to frantically try to flatten her hair down with her hands more. "Sorry, we didn't even get any time to eat anything."

Tanaka immediately shook her head in disagreement. "N-No it's fine…" Then she fidgeted with the buttons of her shirt as she tried to button them. "I-I'm really happy we got to spend time together at all today." There was a shy smile on her reddened face as she said this.

'I knew you'd say that.' "I'm glad you think so." Miyuki got up to her feet and gestured towards the door. And, of course, Tanaka quickly obeyed the gesture and rushed over-despite her uniform still being a mess. 'She not a complete mess, but it's certainly enough to draw attention. Well, knowing her, she might enjoy it a little- Shit!' She didn't notice it until she had already walked out into the hallway, the familiar scent that kept intruding on her.

She glanced over to her side-the opposite direction of the classroom-and she was met with those familiar narrowed eyes. Without even looking at him, she could tell he was mad, he was at one of those stages of mad that she could taste. Then, she felt a grip on her arm, and when she looked over she saw it was a now pale Tanaka as she looked at the Sakamaki boy with fear. Those brown eyes quickly looked down to the floor after a split second, and she was practically cowering behind Miyuki-despite being taller.

However, Miyuki couldn't blame her for her trembling. As soon as her hand gripped onto Miyuki, for some reason, his anger seemed to just increase. It was an overwhelming aura he was letting out, one that even humans would be able to feel. Tanaka's body was most likely panicking under the pressure of an unknown-but dangerous-presence.

Miyuki met with his eyes, and saw he was extremely mad at what he was seeing for some reason. 'Did he want to get Tanaka first? I doubt it, there's nothing all that special about her. Besides, I don't think he's really looked at her this whole time. All his anger is just pointed at me-for whatever reason.'

She thought in her head to just leave, but Tanaka felt frozen in place. She thought about waiting for him to leave, but he looked like he was enjoying being angry too much.

Finally, she decided to just try de escalating the situation, even though she never wanted to have to speak to this obnoxious ball of rage. She tried her best to put on a passive smile. "Sakamaki-san right? Are you also heading to class right now? The bell's gonna ring in any minute, so we should probably get going." 'Hurry up and leave.' She groaned in her head, but she tried to look calm to make this situation go by faster.

He just stared at her for a moment, and in that moment she began to wonder if he was incapable of talking. Finally, he opened his mouth, and what came out was more of a snarl than anything. "If you cared about being on time so much, then you shouldn't have wasted time on that." He especially spat on the last word, in almost complete disgust.

This got under Miyuki's nerves a bit-so much so she barely noticed Tanaka flinch under his words. 'What's his problem, I was only feeding.' Her eyes narrowed back in response, but she tried to relax her eyes again into a more friendly look. "You seem a little upset, did you not eat during lunch?" She partially meant this as a mock, but she was also trying to lighten the mood with a joke on common interest. "If so, would you like some of my food?" She kept her voice light and cheery when she subtly gestured towards Tanaka.

Miyuki was ready to insist that she was joking, but before she could the entire hall felt like it was drowning in an immediate wave of his anger-she began to wonder if Tanaka was at risk of choking on it. Then, it ever so slightly lightened, and he clicked his tongue sharply. Miyuki was a little lost on how to react, but he looked away from her and began to proceed walking down the hall-roughly bumping his side into her's in the process.

It wasn't until he was completely out of the picture that the air went back to normal, and Tanaka all but panted next to Miyuki-her body probably feeling all that unknown weight off her chest. 'She needs to hurry up and get it together, I don't want to be late just because of him.' "Are you ok, Tanaka-chan? You look like you saw a ghost."

Indeed, she still looked pale, and her eyes were distant. "S-Sorry. I-It's just that…" After she took in a few more ragged breaths, she slowly looked up at Miyuki with slightly moist eyes. "That was Sakamaki Subaru from class… E-Everyone knows he's kind of… intimidating… but I didn't know he was that bad…"

Miyuki-a little impatient-pulled Tanaka gently by the arm so that they could start walking towards the classroom. "So he has a reputation?" She figured as much, he sat at the back of the class and even the teachers ignored him.

"Kind of. Everyone's really scared of him because of all the rumors that he has a really bad temper and tends to lash out… I was scared he was going to try hurting us or something…"

'He certainly looked ready to start a fight with me, but I doubt he cared enough about you to lay a finger. Unless you got in the way or something-which I doubt you would.' Miyuki tried to forge fear of her own. "Really? I hope I didn't say anything too brazen to him."

Tanaka seemed to snap out of it some more to look at Miyuki with reassurance. "N-No, you were perfectly nice to him."

'Tell that to him.' As much as Miyuki was still trying to keep her expression calm, she was actually still fuming at that exchange.

. . .

"What the hell was with him?" Miyuki practically shouted as she yanked on the covers of her bed. She'd finished preparing for bed, and all the servants finished cleaning up her room. She was clean and comfortable in her yukata, but the memories from earlier were still getting to her. Her expression remained furrowed and annoyed as she crawled under the sheets. "I mean, I didn't even do anything! What the hell was there to even get mad about?" Then, she remembered how he practically exploded with anger when she offered him a taste of Tanaka. 'Come on! I was joking! Why did he have to take it so seriously? Did he not get it was a joke? Regardless, why the hell would that even bother him so much? It didn't look like he gave a damn about Tanaka anyways!'

Miyuki tossed over and over for a while as she got herself more and more upset over the entire exchange. The thing that really got to her was just that she saw no reason for his anger in the first place, and she felt like she was being pointed out as a criminal for no reason.

After finally exhausting herself over the matter, she just laid back and sighed. Her arm went up to rest on her forehead as she stared up at the ceiling calmly. "Whatever, let him get mad over whatever he wants, it's not like it's my problem." She tried to reason to herself in a calm voice. But, it did take a while longer for her nerves to finally rest.

She turned over on her side and her lids slowly began to close into some peace. After a moment longer, he thought instead began to trail to the other person that was with her at the time. 'Right, speaking of Tanaka… Let's see… it took about four days to make her this attached, it took another eight days to implement the idea of a 'romantic relationship with her, and it took another three days to establish a physical relationship with her. She's been pretty easy to manipulate, maybe she was already questioning her sexuality, or many the idea of having this kind of relationship with the new girl that everyone wanted just excited her that much. Regardless… Maybe I should start pulling away from her now, for good.'

Miyuki let out a tired yawn as she curled up more into her pillow. She knew it was going to be troublesome to try finding a new in-school meal to entertain her, but she can get by from the meals she got on the weekend-she never needed that much blood to begin with. Besides, when it was time to set aside a meal it was time.

Those plain brown eyes that desperately looked for Miyuki's attention flashed behind her lids for a moment, and she couldn't feel anything from them. "Eventually," she quietly whispered to no one in particular, "all toys have to be thrown away…" And, like that, she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
