We walked into the main hall and I stood in front of Rigeki and Kaizuke.

"The rules are simple. After we cut off the power, you have to hunt for Naku by using all of your key senses. We have rigged the entire school so there's no escaping. The only way out, winning. Seems pretty simple right?" Kiru explained.

"One problem. You'll tell him where we're gonna be. You could communicate through a Necrocircle for all we know." Kaizuke stated in a cold tone.

"Then we'll stay in the teachers lounge and Naku can hide with the others." Kiru replied with a glare.

"Fine. But no cheats." Rigeki said before creating a dagger from his own shadow.

"Very well. Cut the lights guys." Kiru ordered the other teachers and they pulled down the breakers. "You have until sunrise... I suggest you start getting serious... That's about 7 hours away."

I ran through the hallways and hid wherever I could. Before long, an arm pulled me into a classroom.

"In here." Riuyo said before I could scream.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"You'll see." He smiled.

Riuyo pulled a bookshelf and walked through the wall behind it.

"Where is this?" I asked while following him.

"This is still inside the school. It's just the west wing of campus." He replied as we walked out and into the gym.

"Oh so you were all hiding here?! You guys are so predictable." I scoffed. "We should split up and activate those traps. That is... Unless you wanna stay here while I risk my neck for you guys."

"That's not such a bad idea. It could give me the chance to get back at Rigeki." Migeki managed to say.

"We could also have a chance of throwing Kaizuke off our trail. He was really close to finding this place last time he walked through the hall." Riuyo puzzled.

"Then let's go for it." I cheered as I start running through the halls.

"He's not gonna last long if he keeps acting recklessly." Shibaki sighed.

"Either that or he's made it this far by BEING reckless." Jinriu laughed.

I accidentally run to an intersection of the hallway and stop in the very middle.

"Hm... Left... Or right?... I wonder where..." I asked myself to see where I could find some traps.

As I examined the halls I heard the ground rumbling in the left hallway and I took a moment to see what it was through the windows. After the smoke cleared up, I saw Kaizuke walking out of the classroom and turning to the stairs in the hall and going up.

"Left." I said with a gleam in my smile.

I started following Kaizuke and activated any traps that would make him get closer to the others.

"Guys, I'm sending Kaizuke towards you... Don't fail me." I said to everyone through a communication spell.

"Are you gonna help us with him?" Kuriagi asked.

"Not really. I'm gonna look for Rigeki and then I'll be on my way towards you." I laughed.

"Awww, now it's not gonna be fun. You always liven up the fights." Shibaki pouted.

"Well... You know me... I always like a good challenge or two. That's why I'm gonna face them off at the same time. All you have to do is hold Kaizuke off while I lure Rigeki in." I laughed nervously.

"Smart yet crazy. I'll see what we can do." Jinriu chuckled.

Not long after that, I heard another rumbling sound. I closed my eyes and tried to figure out where it came from.

"I should take a left, then a right, then the left wing, take the right stairs, go up and..." I stopped when I sensed someone close," Rigeki here I come." I said while running away from the extra presence.

As I reached the stairs, I noticed that a lot of traps haven't been set off yet. It was really strange since that was the only way in and out of the area of the noise.

"Guys... He's in front of the gym... Waiting for you to come out." I shuddered.

"Then get your lazy ass over here. We need some help." Migeki shouted.

"I'm on my way... But..." I started.

"But what?" Jinriu asked.

"I'm being followed by someone other than Kaizuke and Rigeki." I whispered.

"Be on your guard. We'll hold them off while you get here. Just be careful." Riuyo panicked.

I started running back to the others but I quickly turned around and extended my arm to find Yukai standing behind me in shock as my claws left a small cut in his neck.

"Whoa! Chill Naku. It's just me." Yukai smiled.

The smell of fresh blood was intoxicating and I couldn't get it out of my head. I tried to back away from Yukai but I was drawn towards him.

"Y-you ok?" Yukai asked nervously.

Almost immediately after that, I pulled him so close to me that our noses almost touched. He tried to back off but my grip was too strong.

"R-... Run." I said while trying not to bite him.

"What?" He asked as his body trembled.

"It's... You... Your blood... It's dangerous to be... Next to me... Just RUN!" I growled as I felt my fangs growing.

My eyes turned as red as blood and Yukai started to run. I ran to the other side of the gym and saw everyone getting ready to fight.

"Blood. Now. Yukai is in danger." I said as I tried controlling my thirst.

"Here you go. We're ready to fight them." Riuyo said while cutting his wrist open so I could drink his blood.

After drinking some, Riuyo's cut was gone and I was able to control myself again. I took some chalk, crushed it into dust and started drawing Necrocircles all over the gym.

"That'll give us a chance to capture at least one of them." I said as I knocked down some chairs to make a lot of noise.

After a while, the gym doors burst open and we saw Rigeki and Kaizuke standing there. I was standing in the center while the others were hiding.

"You want me? You're gonna have to kill me." I smirked.

"That won't be long. You're all alone here." Kaizuke started.

"And there's no escape either." Rigeki added as he stepped inside the Necrocircle.

I smiled. "Mahi sa semasu." I whispered and the Necrocircle grabbed Rigeki and stabbed all of his acupuncture points.

"You insolent brat! You're gonna get the end of my blade for this!" Rigeki wailed in pain.

"Don't worry. I'll get him." Kaizuke assured him.

"By all means... Be my guest." I taunted.

Kaizuke ran towards me and stepped in a Necrocircle and I quickly reacted.

"Mahi sa semasu!" I yelled but Kaizuke was quick enough to dodge it and kicked me in my rib cage.

I was headed towards the newly activated Necrocircle but Riuyo stepped on it and took the spell for me.

"Keep going. Forget about me." He said as he tried to hide the pain.

I got furious and repeated the spell on the circles around me. As I finished activating the last one, Kaizuke found Kuriagi, Shibaki and Jinriu and used them as shields by tossing them to the activated circles.

"Ten minutes left! Hold him off!" Migeki yelled and got caught by Kaizuke.

"You traitor! You brought shame to the master! Now I think it's best if you die along with the hybrid Prince." Kaizuke snarled.

"No Kaizuke. He's my kill. You focus on the prince." Rigeki yelled as he tried to break the spell.

"Oops... Gotta hurry." I thought.

After that, I ran towards Rigeki and bit his neck doing the exact same thing that I did to his brother. I ripped off Rigeki's necklace and switched out the effects of the magic it had.

"There. That should do it." I panted.

Rigeki fell into a coma and Kaizuke grabbed my neck. I gasped for air but then the faint smell of blood filled the room.

"Y-Yukai?" I asked with the little amount of air I had left.

"Hey! Over here!" Yukai yelled to grab Kaizuke's attention.

"What's he doing here? Run it's not safe here!" Kuriagi managed to say as he ignored the pain of the spell.

When Kaizuke dropped me, I grabbed his left leg and flipped him over. He struggled a bit to get me to let go but I already pinned him to the ground.

"You go tell your master that I'm gonna go there and enjoy slowly cutting his throat open for what he did." I growled and said the spell again.

After he got captured, the time limit was over and Kaizuke disappeared from the gym and headed towards his dimension. I deactivated the Necrocircle on everyone and saw that Rigeki was waking up.

"Yukai..." I started walking up to him with my clothes covered in blood.

"You're bleeding!" Yukai pointed out.

" forget about it. This is nothing. See?" I raised my shirt and showed him my cut as it got smaller and eventually vanished.

"Wh-... What are you?" He asked in shock.

"I... Think we need to talk." I sighed.

"Naku, Rigeki is waking up. We have to go now." Migeki interrupted.

"I... I guess it'll be for another time then." I smiled and left.

Yukai stood up and grabbed my arm. He leaned over and saw that my eyes were a different color.

" I... Um... Well... I'll wait for you here. Monday perhaps?" He asked.

" I'm not making any promises." I glared and walked away but stopped at the entrance. "Maybe."

After that we all disappeared from the school and went to the house. I bursted in and I threw my stuff on the ground.

"HEY!!!!!!! WHERE ARE MY PUDDING CUPS!!!!!!!" I yelled when I opened the fridge.

"Someone get him his pudding before he throws a tantrum." Kiru ordered.

"Forget the pudding. I want cheesecake now. With EXTRA strawberries." I pouted.

"You heard the prince." Kiru chuckled.
