"Give it up boy. You're a vampire. You're supposed to be a comrade, not a protector of some worthless, weakling human. In fact, you're supposed to be drinking her blood." he said smiling. But then he stopped smiling.

Ryuga's eyes went from his gentle, soft brown into a deep, blood-colored red. "Don't EVER call her a weakling"

The vampire smirked and said, "So the legend finally shows up. I had only threw your girl around for a little bit" He started to laugh.

"In a second you won't be laughing" Ryuga growled as his red eyes grew brighter in anger.

"Try me, I can kill you in two minutes"

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Ryuga dissapeared. The vampire looked around quickly but there was no trace of him anywhere. The vampire started moving towards Momoka again when all of a sudden there was a sharp, wet, breaking sound. Momoka gasped in fright as Ryuga was behind the vampire. His hand had completly punched through his chest. "Goodbye" Ryuga smiled as he took his hand out.

The vampire fell, dead. Ryuga licked the blood off his fingers, his red eyes fading into his soft, brown eyes again. "Are you all right?" he asked as he ran towards her.

"You... saved me" Momoka said losing consciousness.

"Why wouldn't I save you?" he said as he picked her up gently.

"They said you didn't care about me" she whispered with tears rolling down her cheeks before passing out.

"I'm here now. Don't cry, I'll take care of you" He whispered in her ear. Then he held her in a bridal way and ran as fast as a vampire can go to the hospital.

The next day, Momoka found herself in a hospital in Tokyo. Her doctor had told her a man came carrying her over here. He said they tried to help but the man wouldn't let him and that he carried her all the way to the room to where she was recovering at.

"You lost a lot of blood and the man was afraid you were going to die" The doctor said.

"He's my childhood friend, Ryuga." Momoka replied.

"I knew that face was fimiliar! He's the one who banished a demon at this hospital"

Momoka suddenly felt dizzy and asked if she had any medicine. The doctor gave her the medicine she needed.

"Now if you need anything else, call on the intercom please. I hope you get better now"

"Doctor"

"Yes Ms. Sendou?"

"Do you believe in... vampires?"

The doctor chuckled and said, "I'm not so sure about that". And with that, he left the room.

That night, Momoka took a sleeping pill and went to sleep without a problem. The doctor said if she could rest long enough, she just might get out of the hospital by tomorrow.

In her sleep, though, it felt like someone was watching her. So, just in case it was a vampire, she woke up and pointed a stake (which she had made during the following morning) at the person.

"Hey! It's me! Me! Remember?" the figure said with his hands in a surrender position. Momoka suddenly reconized the voice and dropped the stake.

"R-Ryuga?"

"R-Ryuga?" Momoka said in surprise.

"Calm down, or else they'll hear us" Ryuga whispered.

"What are you doing here?" She whispered.

"I came to see you,of course"

"Why?" Momoka asked. Then she had remembered the night before. She shivered at the scary memory. Suddenly she was being held by Ryuga, as if he sensed what she was thinking. "It's ok" he whispered softly "You don't have to be scared anymore. I'll be there to protect you. No matter what."

Momoka cried at those words and buried her head in his chest. Ryuga was a little surprised at first, then he relaxed and stroked her hair softly.

"So let me get this straight. You want to become guardians of hte school?" The Headmaster said while sipping his tea, "You do understand that you have to be up all night guarding this place do you not?"

"Yes sensei we understand" Momoka and Ryuga replied.

"Ok then. Its settled. You both start tonight."

Yes!

Ryuga saw her smiling and couldn't help but smile himself. Every time she would smile he would wonder if a rainbow appeared somewhere in the world.

12:00 midnight. It was going quite well, though Momoka got a little too tired and almost fell.

"You need to sleep. I can manage throught the rest of the night" Ryuga said calmly.

"O-ok." Momoka replied before drifting off.

Ah, her face looks so defenseless when she's asleep

Momoka woke up feeling wide awake. Where's Ryuga? She sighed I guess I'll go look for him She thought.

xxxx

Ryuga was on top of the school building, breathing hard. I can't control myself anymore. I need blood now. His eyes were blood red. He sniffed the air. Then he heard a voice from behind him.

"Ryuga?"

xxxx

Momoka looked at Ryuga. He didn't have his brown eyes. His uniform had turned black for some weird reason. And he gave Momoka a hungry look.

"R-Ryuga?" Momoka shivered while saying his name "Are you ok? I-" She was cut off by Ryuga who, as quick as lightning, held her against him.

Ryuga brushed her hair away, only showing her neck.

"Ryuga?"

She grew more frightened as she felt his warm breath against her neck. And before she could say anything, she felt his tongue licked her neck, making her shiver. She was able to see his teeth in his mouth, but what scared her the most was that he had two, razor-sharp fangs that were hesitating to bite her.

Then all of a sudden she felt them bite down on her neck, hard. She stood there as Ryuga drank her blood, stunned. When she came to, she heard the sucking sound he made.

"Ryuga! St-Stop it!" She screamed as she pushed herself away. She put her hand to her neck and stared at Ryuga. His eyes were a brighter blood red now, and his mouth was still open, licking the blood off his teeth. He had Momoka's blood all over his mouth and hands.

"Ryuga."

Momoka began to back away, but suddenly felt dizzy and fell, passed out.

'Ryuga.'

What have I done? What have I Done?

Momoka woke up to find herself in her bedroom. How did I get here? She looked at the clock. 5 a.m. She noticed a figure of a boy, sitting in a chair and his hands to his face.

"Ryuga? Is that you?"

The figure looked up. It was Ryuga. But why was there bloodstains on his uniform? And why was his uniform black? She then remembered what he did. Ryuga...was a demon.

"Momoka, are you okay? You don't feel anything do you?" Ryuga asked worriedly.

"No, I'm ok." She got out of bed and, for some reason, hugged Ryuga. He looked at her, surprised.

"Don't leave me, please" she whispered in his ear.

Ryuga's eyes softened. He hugged her back, along with letting her sit on his lap. She soon fell asleep in his arms, her head resting against his chest. Carefully he layed her on her bed. He layed down with her, falling asleep with a smile on his face as Momoka hugged him in her sleep.

Ryuga was the first to wake up. He looked at his watch. 8:30 a.m. He'd have to leave now, for he can't stand the light. He got ready to leave by going out the window. He took one last look at Momoka before jumping out the window.

xxxx

Momoka woke up just as Ryuga flew out the window. She had noticed his sweet smile before he left.

"Ugh! That test exam was sooo hard!" Mao groaned while stretching.

"You said it!" Mio, Shunran, and Raika said altogether.

"Well, we only have 5 months til' summer break" Mao said in a cheerful tone "This will be the last year in school before college"

"Hey Momoka? You ok?" Shunran asked.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm fine" Momoka sighed.

"Ok, class," Ikeda sensei said quieting the class "We seem to have a new student here. He will be joining us for the remainder of the year. Student, would you like to interdouce yourself?"

"Why yes" The student said. Momoka took a good look at him. He had black hair with broad shoulders like Ryuga. He seemed to have a red eye and a brown eye.

"My name is Akito. I'm glad to meet you all" He looked at Momoka, "Especially...you"

"M-me?" Momoka asked pointing at herself.

"Yes"

Everyone looked at Momoka. "Do you know Mr. Akito, Momoka-san?" Ikeda sensei asked.

"No, I don't"

"Well then, let's give a warm welcome to Akito, and let's start with our lesson"

Momoka sat down and looked out the window. She started to wonder where Ryuga was.

"AHHHHHH!" Momoka screamed as she sat up quickly in her bed, sweating and wide-eyed for she had a nightmare. She woke up ron-ron by accident.

"Momoka-chan, what's wrong?" Ron-Ron asked.

"Nothing, just-t go back to sleep"

"Ok" Ron-Ron fell asleep that quick 'cause he was that tired.

Momoka tried to go back to sleep, but she failed at that. Sighing, she went into the kitchen. As she looked out the window, two hands wrapped around her.

"Momoka, aren't you supposed to be asleep?" a voice said.

"I couldn't" she said. This voice wasn't father's or Ryuga's.

"Mabye I can help you with that" the voice said in an evil
