"Fujisaki-san, are you alright?" Timid brown eyes peered at Yumeko's sluggish form.

"Ah, Furukawa-san, it's nothing to worry about. Just feeling a bit anemic today." Ibara Furukawa, the health rep that had been chosen at the beginning of the term; she was a quiet person whom Yumeko liked to hang out with sometimes.

To Ibara, the silver haired girl looked a bit paler than usual and she couldn't help but wonder if the second year idol was ill. She didn't think it was her business but as fellow girls, they should stick together in times of need.

Hearing Yumeko's response, the teen couldn't help but worry even more. "Um, maybe you should rest in the infirmary for now? You really don't look well."

Yumeko was touched that another human would worry so much about her. The only problem with that was, "Eh? Fujisaki-chan isn't feeling well?"

"Yumeko-san please take care of your health more!"

"My mother knows a great recipe that will-"

"This towel has been passed down throughout my family's generations that helps speed up-"

The door opened and closed, effectively shutting up the loud Yumeko fanclub. While she didn't have the whole school wrapped on her finger, a large number of people still did admire and look up to her; even if just for her looks.

"Oh? Fujisaki-san, is everything alright?" Everyone was crowded around Yumeko's desk, crowding the tired vampire; others saw her to be paler than normal, they thought she might actually be sick.

Ibara Furukawa stood up and while stuttering, relayed the message Yumeko had told her. "Um, sensei, it seems Fujisaki-san is feeling a bit anemic. Would it be alright to take her to the infirmary?"

Though looking reluctant, the teacher nodded, allowing the two girls to leave class. Yumeko would have to show her gratitude later on.

"I'm off back to class then, please rest up for now. Feel better soon, Fujisaki-san." Furukawa left Yumeko before the two even really conversed. What a studious pupil; 'Those types were always tasty.' Yumeko thought to herself.

Well, guess in human standards I do look a bit frail. Yumeko thought, laying down onto an open bed, closing the curtains to minimize the sun exposure.  She'd just stay here for now; a nap didn't sound too bad. A nocturnal being like her had it tough, needing to stay awake during the day so much.

"Yumeko, I know you're not asleep, wake up." A voice beckoned her from her slumber. She was so comfortable and while she wasn't someone to dream, she couldn't help but wonder why she felt so at ease. In a slow manner, Yumeko sat up and yawned. "Oh, Teru. It's you."

To Teru, her bland response made him frown. He couldn't ever completely understand her. He had gone to her class and hoped the vampire wouldn't run off like she tended to often. He'd only gotten word from Kurosawa, the one person he actually knew that Yumeko hung out with, to get her whereabouts only to find out said girl was in the infirmary.

He arrived, found a stool and waited for Yumeko to wake up. The elder Minamoto stared at her unconscious form. It wasn't ever that he had seen her sleeping like this; it made her look defenseless, weak, normal. Teru couldn't imagine her as normal, that was too weird.

She was awake now and that's all that mattered; she'd feed and he could be on his way back to student council duties.

He loosened his tie first before unbuttoning his school shirt. Maybe he should have grabbed his gym clothing first and changed into that. It was too late to think about it now.
