Chapter10

Once I was done I let her go, pushing her to the ground. She didn't make any move to get up however. Was she trying to make me feel sorry for her? I had no idea. And even if she did I had no intention of helping. I felt sorry for no mortal.

All except one. Momiji sohma. What was it about him that drew me in? Why was I so attracted to him? These thoughts never left my mind. Ever since I saw him. And each time I see him these feelings only increase.

"Know this mortal, you will never be safe. Not around me nor any creature of the night." I said looking down at her. She turned and looked at me when I spoke those words menacingly to her. Struggling and in pain she still turned.

"What about momiji?" She asked. It was then that the boy I had been trying to avoid showed up. And of course the only person he was worried about was her. That damn mortal. She was nothing. She had nothing. Yet he still went to her.

Why?

"Tohru are you alright? " he asked her holding her. She didn't hug back though. That was the only thing keeping me from killing her on the spot.

Irritated and worried I might do something to the boy I was attracted to, I forced myself to walk away. I hated her. With every fiber of my being. I hated it. She was on his mind. But he was on mine.

Guess we're just too different.

"Why? Why did you hurt her?" I heard his gentle voice speak up to ask me. I would've kept walking. No I should’ve. My mind said to walk away, that I'll regret it. However my body said turn around and answer the boy.

My heart was torn into pieces. Why? Because my body had acted before I had a chance to think it over rationally.

He was crying. For her. He probably hated me now. For hurting her. It was then that I knew. I knew that I would never be able to get close to him.

I watched haru get in between them and myself. 

Like that'll do something.

I saw Haru's eyes widen just a tiny bit. But that was enough for me to know. He saw something in me that I had not. He knew something about me that I had yet to figure out.

Scared, I disappeared. I ran back to the house with my vampire speed. I just wanted to be alone. So I went to Reiji's study. He was in there of course. However he was sleeping. It was perfect for me. It meant I'd be able to be alone. That's if that damn Yui didn't come barging in like she owns the place.

I just sat there. In one of his chairs thinking. Closing my eyes and feeling the gentle breeze cross my face. It felt good. Calmed me down. I was worked up because of him, of Haru. I was scared of what he knew. If I didn't figure it out soon then, well I didn't want to know what I'd do.

I was scared. At least I was strong enough not to let it show. I kept it all in. Normally I'd be in my room thinking about these things however they knew where it was and they slept in there. Thinking they were protected.

After this I was hoping that they would move to a new room. Hoping they knew they wouldn't be protected. That they wouldn't be safe.

Even so I knew that, that was a long shot. Them backing down? That wasn't in the boy's nature. Not even Tohru would. I knew she'd come. She wanted to ask me something but they intervened.

She'll come. I know she will.

*knock knock*

"Damn who is it now? Can't ever get a days rest." I mumbled out annoyed. I ran a hand down my face in frustration. It couldn't be them. Not yet. I hadn't even been in here ten minutes.
