He's just a kid but he already has his death planned out Ozaki thought this as he and the villagers hid in the shrine.

Though he is the same as them he different. While in his train of thoughts Ozaki looked back at the villagers, he thought of lots of things.

Then he thought of Seishin who betrayed everyone I guess this means we are sinners Ozaki chuckled at the dark joke he came up with, after all once the battle is over this means that those saved will kill the person

who saved them.

Seishin I hated this village too Ozaki looked at the hands he used to kill his wife but I realized sooner than you what I hated were the people not the place.

Ozaki thought of Ritsuko and the other nurses he had the feeling deep in his guts that they probably loved it way more than him.

I will not be lead astray like you Sieshin.

They heard shuffling in the background of the shikis who are preparing to attack Thank You Natsuno Yuuki.

On the last chapter: "An eye for an eye huh Shimizu?"- "Shimizu your father was bitten"

"Just like you made Kaori's father turn on his family I will your father turn on you.

Chapter 3

Megumi's gunshot wound healed, as Natsuno looked at her with a smile on his face.

Natsuno picked up Kaori again getting ready to leave making Kaori blush furiously, he stepped back and another man stepped forward. Megumi's eyes widened as she showed deep resentment to this "Yuuki-kun"

Megumi said with anger in her face "I do not care this—" Megumi's sentence was cut off by the loud sound of a gunshot.

Natsuno by this time disappeared leaving Megumi all alone in the forest with her father, though he didn't get far for he was still weak with all the energy he wasted and little blood intake.

"Kaori I will let you down here" Natsuno said as he left her in a small house, she looked at the small house with crosses on the door and a light with cross pattern surrounding the house "go in Kaori" Natsuno

ordered "you'll be fine in this place" he suggested.

Kaori looked at the place and the cross designs everywhere then to Natsuno who looked weary.

She gently grabbed him making sure she didn't squeeze too hard and asked "are you coming too?"

She tried hide her fear of Natsuno getting hurt while far from her but Natsuno thought she was frightened by him and said "not if you don't want me to" Kaori looked at the house again this time saying "should I

invite you to enter?" Not knowing that he was a special shiki.

Natsuno looked at Kaori noticing that she was basically telling him she was okay being in the same house as a shiki-no – she was ok being in the same house as him.

Being a special shiki Natsuno unlike Tohru he was not scared of crosses or holy things so he bluntly told her 'no need'.

They both entered the house but on the way of entering Natsuno hit the field protecting the house like it was a door being slammed in front of him making Kaori laugh.

Kaori entered first then but instead of immediately inviting him she went inside for a minute to grab a flashlight.

She flashed the light around a bit making sure no other shiki were there then said "Please come in Natsuno Yuuki" while blushing a bit.

Natsuno reluctantly entered giving a little blush and saying "yea."

As they walked in they noticed the place must have been some sort of shrine because there were lots of crosses and religious things lying around, Kaori thought that this was probably the reason Natsuno chose this

place.

They approached a room that looked like a study and entered it.

Natsuno noticed a strange book on the table and picked it up due to curiosity as Kaori left saying she's going to go find a bathroom.

She found one 2 room away and decided to take a bath in and a change of clothes, as she took a bath she noticed a shampoo bottle and decided to wash her hair seeing as the bottle-no, the place seemed like it

was abandoned sometime recently.

When she got out the bath tub she took a dress she had found in a drawer it was ruffled in front and had a second layer which was longer on the back in a red and black plaid design.

Since it was going to be cold Kaori grabbed black unattached sleeves she saw lying around and thigh high socks with plastic roses.

As Kaori passed the mirror she blushed at the outfit she had put on shook her head to get the image out than ran to Natsuno to ask him if he wanted to take a bath, Natsuno was resting looking even wearier than

before.

It didn't take long for Kaori to realize it was because he didn't drink much blood.

Natsuno was flashing in and out of consciousness looking at Kaori going to the kitchen then hearing something break and seeing her come out with broken glass.

Kaori kneed next to him as Natsuno blushed at the sight of her in such a pretty dress. Kaori rolled up the sleeves and carelessly grabbed the broken glass, then pricked her finger with it held it up to him and said

"you're hungry aren't you Natsuno?"

Natsuno looked away from the blood, from the smell and from Kaori. He grabbed her arm and told her "the weaker I am the easier it will be to kill me" Kaori looked at him in shock; she knew he was planning to rebel

against shiki but not die with them.

She went back into the kitchen but brought a plastic cup this time, she made an even bigger cut on her finder and added one in the palm of her hand than put her hand on the cup for the blood to pour into it.

She looked at him angrily and said "if you refuse this cup I will give another" Natsuno turned and held himself up with his hand as he looked at Kaori in pain letting the cup almost overflow with her blood.

Natsuno squeezed the hand he was supporting himself with and with the other hand snatched the cup of blood and drank in one gulp, he put the cup down and looked at the relieved Kaori then said to her "Akira is

alive" Kaori widened her eyes at the news " I will bring you to him tomorrow."

Kaori looked at Natsuno through the pain she spoke to him "will you come along too?"

Natsuno looked at the blood still flowing from Kaori's hand and dripping on the floor but in less quantity than before.

His shook his head 'no' and started to feel energy flow they stayed in silence until Kaori said "do you feel better" after all the paleness somewhat went away.

Natsuno realized that she must have still been in pain while sitting there smiling so he told her "thanks to you" with a sad smile.

Kaori became dizzy because of blood loss in this dizziness she started thinking 'what happened to Megumi-chan 'then accidently voiced out loud as she thought "now Natsuno-kun has a higher chance of living"

Natsuno caught her as she fainted and as she was unconscious with a faint smile told her "I thought I told you not to add 'kun' to my name."
