it.” Yuki and Ruka had decided to go shopping for the Kuran feast coming up. Hanabusa had joined them, but went visiting other shops while they shopped for dresses.
“It’s beautiful. Yuki smiled. “We’ll take it. I hope Hanabusa bought enough food.”
Ruka scoffed. “He’d have bought enough cake, for sure. He can be such a pig sometimes.”
“Hey, I like cake!” Yuki smiled. Then shook her head. “But I see your point. Perhaps we best go rescue the poor shopkeeper he’s bargaining with.”
“Indeed.”
The girls walked out of the stall and headed down to the Bakery, and sure enough, Hanabusa stood pointing out box after box of cake and other confectionaries. Walking right up to him, Ruka wacked her hand against his head.
“Ow! Ruka! What was that for??” Hanabusa asked rubbing his head.
“Lord Kaname would be very unimpressed seeing the amount of sweets and lack of actual food you’re purchasing, idiot.”
He rubbed his head again. “I was going to buy some food next anyway. Cake’s food too you know.” Ruka raised her hand, making him wince. “Okay-okay!” He conceded. “Er, shopkeeper sir, that’s enough, thanks. Could we also place an order for some dinner delicacies you may have to offer?”
Yuki chuckled. “Okay guys, I’ll wait outside. Come out when you’re done.”
“But Lady Yuki, you shouldn’t be left alone!” Hanabusa protested, but it was too late. Yuki stepped out the door and left the two to finish their purchasing.
She took a seat on the public seats with a sigh. Hanabusa assured her all was well, but something had occurred when he went to check on them that he was hiding from her. Kaname knew what happened too; Hanabusa had told him. But they both kept it from her. She knew it involved Zero; she’d caught onto that much – but no more.
“Zero…” She sighed. “Maybe if I’m lucky, you will be the one to kill me. If it has to be someone, I’d want it to be you.”
Her ears perked up again as Ruka and Hanabusa stepped out of the shop and looked around for her. I guess, she thought, time will tell.

Humming a soft tune, Kaien had set about making breakfast. Zero and Keisha had had a fight. Although it seemed worse this time, he observed. Zero set about sharpening one of the hunter swords, while Keisha flicked though channels on T.V. and they hadn’t spoken a word since they gotten ready for school.
“You kids are awfully quiet today.” He voiced, putting out the breakfast. Zero paused for a moment, and then continued sharpening the sword.
“Just a bit sleepy still, that’s all, uncle.” Keisha replied, turning off the telly.
“Sleepy?” Kaien raised an eyebrow. “What time did you go to bed, dear?”
“Not late.” She replied moving over to the breakfast table. “Actually, I’m not that hungry. I should get going. I trust the students, but I should get there before the gates open. Bye, uncle.” She waved, picking up her bag and heading out the door. As soon as the door closed, Kaien turned to Zero.
“Zero…” He started sternly.
“Yes, it’s my fault and yes, I know I shouldn’t have said what I did.” Zero said with a sigh. “I better go too.” He said picking up his bag and walking out.
The door closed and Kaien shook his head. Kids.

Keisha had well and truly avoided Zero completely at school. He frowned, what he had said may have been wrong, but it certainly wasn’t that bad. Why was she being so…withdrawn? Usually he couldn’t get her to shut up. But now, as they walked to town, as Kaien insisted they do after school, she hadn’t uttered a word. The shops came up ahead, and she acted as if she had come alone. Walking straight into one of the grocery shops, she started talking to the shopkeeper, pointing out to certain items. Zero came to stand beside her. She didn’t acknowledge his presence.
“No, not that one!” She said, slightly leaning over the counter to point at the other loaves of bread in line on the shelves. “Those.”
Waddling over to where she had pointed, he plopped them into a bag, along with the other groceries and put them on the counter with a smile.
“That’ll be fifty dollars, miss.” He spoke. She nodded and dug out her purse. Pulling out a fifty dollar note, Zero handed it to the shopkeeper and picked up the bags. She looked like she was about to protest, but after thinking better of it; she pursed her lips and walked out of the shop. With a nod to the keeper, Zero walked out after her. She had taken what he said way too seriously. Even he was never this cold.
He looked around to see where she was, only to find her walking into another shop. He walked to the shop door, but then stopped. ‘Ladies’ Garments’, read the shop label. Shaking his head, he walked in; she had to have picked this next on purpose – knowing this is the last place he would want to go shopping. She breezed through the dresses and clothing before finally settling on two simple yet elegant dresses and three tops and two jeans. Zero sat down with a sigh as she went in to try the various items, growing more and more bored. She was taking longer just to get back at him – he knew it. In honesty she wasn’t the pink and fashion girly type, he knew that for sure; she was just annoying him. Good job indeed.
“I’ll take these.” She said to the shop manager, handing them over. She glanced at me lightly before turning away with a small smirk. “Now…for the shoes.” She said, loud enough for Zero to her. He groaned in annoyance. She was so damned…uh!
Finally she ran out of things to purchase, and took her things to the counter. Putting all the clothes and shoes and scarves and shawls and…whatever else into bags, they turned to look at us both.
“That’ll be 270.” The lady said with a smile. Zero sighed and pulled out the money to pay and grabbed the other bag, walking out of the store.
That’ll teach you, Keisha smiled. She was actually annoyed with shopping as well, but she assumed it was much worse for Kiryu. Good for her.
Walking back towards the house Zero glanced at Keisha. She still hadn’t spoken to him. He sighed; fine then, he’ll talk to her.
“Keisha, look…” He started.
“Save your breathe Kiryu.” She said cutting in. “Don’t want to hear it.”
Zero frowned. “Too bad then, because you’ll just have to.” He said. She didn’t fire back like she usually did. He sighed. “Look…I’m sorry about what I said last night. I—I shouldn’t have said that.” She continued walking without a word. He looked at her but then turned away with a sigh. “I never meant it to hurt you, Keisha. I was just…just a bit…” He sighed again. “I don’t know, angry? Upset?” Worried about you? He thought.
“You meant every word, Kiryu.” She said, keeping her gaze locked ahead of her. “I know.” Often when we spill over with emotion, the deepest feelings, and the truth, come out. He was definitely aggro over the top that time. And she had no doubt he meant every word.
“Keisha, I didn’t mean every word the way I said it…please, it’s not like I hate you or that you’re impossible to work with because you’re a nuisance. It’s just—,”
“Just stop it!” She said loudly. “Leave me alone, okay? I have to complete one term at least here; then I’ll be out of your hair for good.”
Zero stopped. “One term? What do you mean?”
She finally stopped and turned to stare back at him. “I called my father last night, and don’t worry; I didn’t mention you, and he agreed I can transfer to another school at the end of the term. You can just fly solo again after that.” She turned back and started walking again. Lord, she took it way too seriously, Zero thought. Staring at her walking ahead he contemplated if he would be happier if she left. Would he? He sighed, that’s not exactly what he wanted though. Clenching his jaw, he followed behind her. Why did he have to explode at her like that?! Are you happy now? A voice asked through his head. Shut up, he breathed.

The Feast


The silhouettes of two bodies could be seen in the dark room. A tall confident woman draining the blood from another vampire. They stood for a few more moments as she dug her fangs deeper until the second body dropped to the floor with a sigh.
“Lady Miena…” The figure released. Wiping her mouth she stepped out of the room. She’d had tasted better, she decided, but it was better than nothing. She walked into the bathroom, checking her dark dress carefully – good, no blood spill. It was a sleek dress, the straps of the dress hung low on her arms. She had on the most lustrous jewellery and kept her flute between the folds of her dress. Pulling out her flute, she cracked a smile; this would be a most interesting feast.
“Lady Miena?” Some knocked on the door. She sighed and opened the door. Kāos stood on the other side, she smiled.
“Kāos, is something the matter?”
He bowed down. “Rima and Senri seem to say they are…bored, of waiting outside. They wished to know when the departure will be.”
“Soon.” Miena waved off.
“Yes, my Lady.” He bowed again. “Are we going by foot or car?”
Miena frowned; she didn’t even need to walk – she could teleport; so could he. But then she nodded. “We’ll take the car.”
“As you wish.” He said. And with that, he turned and left. Miena smiled; Kāos had been loyal to her since she could remember. But that was because the Tori family had giving him shelter when no else had. How did Kaname buy the loyalties of the likes of Rima, Senri and Tamaki? She turned back to face the mirror. And it wasn’t just because he was a pureblood. Tying her hair up with a clip, she thought carefully. What was it about that man? What spell had he casted?
“Well Kaname, seems we’ll be talking soon enough.” She smiled. “I’m sure there’s much I could learn from you…and Yuki.”

Keisha stepped downstairs in a neat sapphire dress with white highlights and a slightly low cut neckline. It was simple, but looked fabulous. The folds of the dress reached down to her toes and she wore simple matching earrings and necklace, with her signature bracelet. She never took it off. Zero examined it closely this time. It was silver, with pale red and blue streaks knotted together. Small charms hung off it with various alien symbols. Tearing his gaze of the bracelet, he scanned her figure again as she breezes to the cabinet.
“Uncle Kaien?” She called.
“Yes dear?” His voice came
