Here it is! Hope you guys enjoy! I'm really getting into this haha! Enjoy!

I stared at him waiting for an explanation. Ikuto sighed. "It's been five days. I need to go back. And I need the story." I stated. Ikuto sighed again but gave up on his silent act. "Alright. So you said you remembered everything?" He questioned. I nodded. He sighed and sat at his desk. We were in his room. It had been three days since my neck had been injured and it's been 5 days since I broke my wrist. I needed to go back to Tadase otherwise my family would be in danger because I would have "run away." Ikuto looked at me intensively. "Your wrist, you broke it because you fell down, correct?" I nodded. He sighed. "No, it was because my sister pushed you." He explains. I speak up. "But I only broke it because I fell after she pushed me!" He gives me a look and I quiet down. "We have more strength than you do. It also explains the marks on your neck and the weakened state my sister left you in. She was sucking your blood. And the teeth you saw and felt, they are all part of what makes us immortal." I stopped him then and there. He doesn't mean to say that they actually exist?! "You are telling me you guys are vampires?" I quiz. He nods. "Ikuto that's not right. I mean I read about vampires in books. It's simply not logical. They are mythical creatures, fiction!" I explain. He sighs and looks down. "I know it's hard to under stand but trust me. I am a vampire. And so is my sister and so is Rima. Miki is not. She is simply our maid." He explains. I sit there on the bed shocked. Vampires are real? And I was attacked by one?! "Won't I die if I'm bitten?!" Was the first thing that left my mouth before I had the chance to stop it. Ikuto laughs dryly. "No, we do not have poison on our fangs, though some vampires make poison to inject into humans to turn them. However us pure bloods can only turn a human into a vampire if we kill them or they are dead and we suck on them. It's rather hard to explain that part of the package but you figure things out along the way..." so... that means Ikuto was... I cover my mouth. Dead. He had died?! "You were turned?" I ask quietly. Ikuto's eyes lock with mine and I know it's a topic I am not allowed to talk with him about. I drop my head. "Sorry..." he stands up. "That's pretty much the gist of things. But you know... I can't have you telling people about us. It'll get complicated." He says. I stand up as well, worry making its way to my face. He's going to kill me? Or turn me?! He chuckles slightly. "I won't turn you into one of us." He relies. I relax somewhat. That doesn't necessarily mean he won't lock me up or kill me, or both... "you won't tell?" He gets serious. I stiffen under his ice cold gaze. Who would I tell? I have no one to talk to but Tadase and I don't even talk to him. "I won't tell anyone! Please trust me! After this I'm sure I'll be locked away..." I drop back to the bed. Tadase won't even let me go to the gardens anymore.... but as long as my family is safe I will give that up! "Amu..." Ikuto whispers. "I thought you were getting rid of her?" Utau's voice sounds from behind me. Panicking and getting scared I act on instinct and run over to Ikuto, hiding behind him. Utau rolls her eyes but Ikuto gets angry. "Leave Utau. This is no time for your amusement." He stated. She sighed and walked away. "It's alright Amu, I won't let her touch you ever again." I nod and let go of his arm. "Why did she attack me? It hurt so bad!" I touch my neck again, going over the small bumps with my fingers. I winced as I accidentally pushed too hard on one and ended up hurting myself. Ikuto and grabbed my hand, pulling it away. I looked at him as he reached forward and grabbed my neck. Gently he tilted my head back so he could examine my neck, moving my hair around as he did so. His fingers lightly brushed across the marks, leaving my body feeling tingly and my neck feeling hot. He pulls away. "They're healing nicely. Don't touch them too often or they won't heal correctly. Usually we only bite humans and drink a lot of blood to try and kill them. My sister was trying to kill you. My saliva saved you. My saliva has healing qualities in it but they only work on certain people." He states. "Why only certain people?" I question he gives a small smile. "That is a conversation for another time my dear." He bows and gives a smirk. I blush. "Shall I escort you home?" He asks. I nod and take his hand. "Yes please..." and with that we are off to the Hatori estate. Off to the house of horrors. He didn't take a carriage to the estate, rather he took me through a woodsy path. Walking a little bit behind him I thought for a moment. He is a vampire. His sister is a vampire and the girl called Rima, who I have yet to actually meet, is a vampire. Suddenly I trip over a log and fall to the ground, my butt hitting it hard. Ikuto turned to look at me. "Are you alright?!" He asked worriedly. I gave an embarrassed smile. "Ha yeah...." he then gives me his hand to help me get up. I smile, taking his hand and getting up. However I stop once I reach my feet, my body shivering. Something or someone is watching us. "Ikuto." I whisper, stepping closer to him. He backs up slightly, trying to keep his distance. I scoot closer. "Something is watching us..." I whisper into his ear. He stiffens and then sighs. "Kukai come out." Ikuto commands. Thus out comes a tall tan man, with brown hair and a wide smile. "Yo!" He greets. I cling on to Ikuto. Who is this guy?!
