They quivered in fear and mostly excitement, my hands. While gripping onto the extra facts I researched about the pureblood Madoka Tsuji, I discovered from out of all the purebloods that I had defeated, he was going to be the strongest. This vampire had escaped from many Hunters before. Madoka had even escaped from my grandmother.

I smirked latching tightly onto the papers. I will achieve something that old hag haven't. Rolling over onto the futon large enough for two I perused the details about his hench men. This should be easy to handle, but... I don't know how much stronger they have become from since this information was released. Especially Madoka, I have to be extremely wary of him.

Getting up, I walked to the sliding door, wondering if the archives of my family possessed any information on him. Considering that he was once a prey of that grandmother of mine, there was a 90% possibility. If there was I could add this information what I got from the Hunter's Association with that.

Sliding the door across, I perceived the devil.

Her emotionless purple eyes that was slanted even more, because her gray hair was tightly pulled back into a bun. "I have heard about the mission you have received. Back out of it. It's a mission someone at your level can't handle."

"So dear grandmother of mine, tell me why you think I am incapable of such?"

"Don't question me child! I was the one who practically raised you, so you should obey me without queries! I know all of your strengths and weaknesses, you can't defeat him!"

"Mmm, I thank you for your concern, grandmother. I may not be able to defeat him on my own, but I will not be alone. Kaien Cross would be accomanying me. I think we should be able to handle him." I vocalized with my eyes never wavering.

"You stubborn child! Listen to keyword think. You are uncertain." She said. "Your time for hunting vampires must cease so you could bare this family the heir with Hakuto as your husband."

"Why are you suddenly bringing that up? Plus didn't I tell you, father and the other elders that I will not be marrying Hakuto!"

"Yes, you have told us that, but did we agree to your decision? You will be the next Head of this family and you must put great consideration in these things. Right now Hakuto is the strongest Vampire Hunter of this generation who stands next to the Vampire with No Fangs. He's the perfect match for you. There will be no argument." Grandmother started to walk off.

"I do consider those things. Hakuto and I are not for each other. For this family to survive, you must think of the happiness of each other!"

Her lavender eyes widened for a second, but quickly reverted. She turned around with a cruel smile bestowed upon her face. "You must banish such thinking, you foolish child. If you don't..." Her eyes looked filled with melancholy, but I must have been seeing things. She left.

I clicked my tongue, distinguishing that I had completely allowed her to change the topic. But I knew that I had to converse with father once again on that matter when he comes back. I sighed, running my fingers through my short red hair.

The minute I arrived to the archive, I went to pinpoint the files. Finding an orange with with his name on it inside of a dusty box, I felt a smirk slowly growing onto my face.

Found you.

With urging fingers, I opened it to find....nothing. What was going on? How come there was not a single thing within his file? Even his backstory could have been in here and I wouldn't mind. Then I turned around, hearing a yawn. Walking to it, I found my older cousin, Wataru with folders that was created, surrounding him.

"Taru." I called.

He glanced up at me, wiping a tired tear from the side of his lilac coloured eye. "That folder. The information vanished from them over fifty years ago. It was on the same death date as grandfather. I knew he was the last one who seen them. If you need them, I could write every single detail for you."

"Could you really? But wait what do you want, Taru? You don't do anything for free."

"You know me well, Rin. Get me a date with Hoshimi."

"Hah? Why can't you just ask her, yourself, lazy?" I asked.

"Because she loathes everyone within the Kiba Family except your mother and you. You especially should know that." He replied, picking up the folders around him. "I should be able to write up everything in about two hours. Do we have a deal?" Wataru stood, dusting his white shirt with the three buttons at the top unbuckled. It revealed slightly revealed his chest. He messed up his disheveled curly pearl black hair even more.

I bit my bottom lip then nodded. "Fine, we have a deal." From since I was little, without knowing about love, I knew how Wataru felt for Hoshimi. It was obvious, because he said everything that was on his mind. He wouldn't care if it may be insulting to you.

I immediately left to visit Hoshimi's apartment. The instant she opened the door, she stated. "You better not be hurt, because of some damn mission, again. Haven't I told you that I wouldn't patch you up even if you were bleeding to death on the streets?" Then she opened her closed eyes. "Oh. You're wearing your kimono, meaning that you aren't going on a mission for today." She circled around me, examining my body. "And you seem completely fine, expect for what Sao told me!" She snickered.

I felt heat rising to my cheeks.

"Oh my! You're really blushing!" She chuckled. "Mom, should have been here to see this!"

"Come on. Stop it, Hoshimi." I covered my hands with my face.

"There's nothing to be mortified about! I see why you like Kaien! I wish I was still one of the Association's doctors, so I would have noticed for you. Oh, come in. I was just in the middle of eating some cake. Have some with me. I know cake is your favourite treat."

Entering her apartment, I quickly took a seat an her round table. She placed a piece of scrumptious strawberry shortcake in front of me.

"So what will be your plan to get him?"

I choked, then grabbed the glass of water on the table, gulping it down. "What do you mean by that!"

"What do you mean by what I mean by that? You found out that you love him. Aren't you going to confess your feelings to him? And ask him how he feels about you too?" She used her fork to play with the cake on her plate then held out the piece for me.

I gladly accepted it. I answered. "I already know. His reply for my confession would be 'no'."

"How do you know that without even trying?"

"Because we only met each other during other Hunters' parties and through missions. Everything is casually about work, so there is no way."

Hoshimi sighed, shaking her head from side to side. "But even with that, you were still able to fall in love with him. And the main reason I think you were able to fall in love with him is, because he's stronger than you. But you could tell me if I am wrong."

"You could say that. For some reason deep inside my heart I want him to recognize me as a stronger Hunter then I was before; when I went on them missions with him before." For some reason my voice was extremely soft and warm. This was the first time I had ever told this to anyone.

I noticed that Hoshimi's smile had grew larger. "Really, I never thought you had this side to you. This side is really adorable. I mean from since we were little all you ever thought about was how to enhance your strength and knowledge. Try to get him to notice you even more in the mission you are going to have with him. Anyway why did you come here?"

"Wataru."

Her beautiful face immediately refashioned. "Wataru?" But something in her eyes that I had always seen when I mentioned his name, I figured it out. "What does the lazy Kiba want this time?"

"A date."

Her dark blue eyes dropped to the ground. There was a tint of pink spreading on her cheeks. "A date, huh? Who would want to go on a date with that, lazy Kiba?" She avoided eye contact, folding her arms over her slightly enormous chest. "So what did he promised you, to get you to ask me this?"

"I need some information on my next target, Madoka Tsuji."

"I see. That information should be able to have you a great deal if it's coming from that lazy Kiba. Since it's going to help you, I guess I could go on a date with him."

I was seeing things completely differently now. "Hoshimi could it be that you're a tsundere when it comes to love?"

Her hand smashed against her red painted wall, causing immense cracks to form. "Are you an idiot?! I definitely am not one! Just like the other Kibas, I loathe him! There is no way that I am in .... love with him?! Do you hear me Rin?! Besides, where did you learned that damn word!"

Yep, surely a tsundere. "I learned it from a japanese styled book called a manga. The genre was romance. And Hoshimi do you remember that my mother and I am a Kiba?"

She got up from her seat, her brown bang covering her eyes. Walking slowly, Hoshimi reached me. "You and your mother are completely different.....maybe that lazy Kiba is too." Her tone changed completely. "Rin you should know this."

"Don't worry Hoshimi. When I become the Head I will..."

She interrupted me. "You don't have to. Thanks to you and your mother, we survived. We like how our lives are now."

"Sorry, Hoshimi."

"What are you apologizing for? It isn't your fault."
