"So, you must be Kokichi Ouma," The man standing next to the principal in a kind tone. I could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't being genuine. There is no way in hell I would ever go anywhere with this man I have never seen before...because even if he was my father, I hate him, more than anything for leaving my mother when she needed support most...

"Yes," I said with a tight smile. I tried to give him a look to tell him I wasn't buying it.

Thud

I looked over to the principal and he was passed out on the desk...what the hell did he do to him? Better question, what the hell is he going to do to me.

"Ah Kokichi, I have heard so much about you." He said with the same smile. Except this time he wasn't trying to hide the malice he was hiding from behind it.

"Who the hell are you? And why do you claim to be my father," I said in a cold tone. He seemed to jump a bit at this.

"Of course I'm not your father! I came here for another reason, that being the reason why you have a bond with a vampire," He said with a smirk. I felt my face pale before I was able to quickly regain my composure as he started moving towards me. For every step he took I took one back...I have no idea what he is planning on doing.

"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to come off as unknowing. Because in this situation maybe it's better to deny that...because he didn't say Shuichi's name so he might not know that Shuichi is the vampire I am bonded to.

"You have his aura around you and you don't smell like a human would smell, you almost smell bitter...because he must have marked you," He said getting closer to me as I was getting backed into the wall...well shit.

"What if I did? Why does that concern a vampire like you?" I asked keeping my gaze locked on him. He looked down at me because he was taller than me...and probably slightly taller than Shuichi...Shuichi. Please if this gets any farther please say he will come...because sadly I can't take a vampire being a human and all...

"Because my sweet Victoria and I can be together for the eternities if I drink the blood of a bonded vampire and their own mate. Bonded mate I may add," He said showing his fangs. This is going to get ugly...I'm assuming if he bites the both of us maybe that could potentially damage our own bond, so at all costs I can't let him bite me.

He moved at me before I could say another word and wrapped his hand around my neck, quickly lifting my feet off the floor. My hands moved to hold onto his arm as I struggled against him. I can't let him bite me! Please let him go away, or maybe I could do something to get out of his hold?

"Gck," I groaned feeling my lungs begging for air. I was starting to feel numb. Before I felt all my senses numb completely I kicked him in the stomach with all my might...but it was useless.

"Don't struggle! It's only going to hurt a bit~," He said in a tone that made me feel a shiver go through my spine. He punched his other hand into my cheek making me turn my head abruptly. I know that is going to cause a bruise...as well as him choking me...Shuichi is probably going to blame himself for this as well...I hate that he always feels so guilty about these things.

I saw Shuichi from the corner of my eye. I felt some hope that he would be able to save me from this man....please Shuichi, I need you to save me! Please! I screamed but the words never left my mouth before,

"Shu...i...chi," I whimpered before he was by my side. Shuichi punched the man in the gut making him grunt before he fell onto the floor. I felt I was about to fall back onto the floor before Shuichi caught me in his arms and held me close to my chest. I felt a blush come to my face because of this, I wanted to get super embarrassed about this, but seeing the situation we are in at the moment...that wouldn't help. I need to be able to help in some way, and standing seemed to be the one thing I couldn't do because I just felt so drained...

"Shu..." I whispered, sounding hoarse. I felt him tense at this, I think he is mad about the whole situation...I mean I can't blame him, if I walked into the office to see this happening to Shuichi I would have been angry as well.

"What the hell?!" The man yelled getting back up before slowly moving his hand across his mouth. I saw after a moment...damn, Shuichi must have hit him hard...

"You shouldn't be able to punch that hard! I mean I'm a vampire damnit and you are a lowly human!" He yelled at Shuichi before I felt him flinch at those words. Ah, I should have realized this sooner, vampires have some heightened abilities than the average human...so it would make sense that Shuichi would be able to punch harder.

"Well, you get the hell away from my boyfriend asshole!" Shuichi yelled. He froze against me, I knew he must have figured something out. But I couldn't put my finger on it-

"Oh, actually I know who you are, Shuichi Saihara." He said with a smirk. I felt my body freeze. Wait a minute, how does he know that this is Shuichi? I have never seen this man before. Wait a minute- Oh my god, this must have been the man that changed Shuichi! I felt myself start to panic.

"I didn't think you would have found the human you were bonded to this quickly honestly." He said with a sigh as he put his hands behind his head. Oh my god...how did he know about the bond? Can he sense it from being a vampire as well?

"This can't be-"Shuichi started only to be cut off by the man's finger coming over his lips. Shuichi reflexively bit his finger, making him pull his hand away as he gently sat me in a chair behind him...I couldn't get the thought out of my head...why would he have bitten Shuichi in the first place...wait maybe that's why-

"Oh yes it can~ This makes it even better for me!" He said before laughing.

"What do you mean by that?" Shuichi asked, putting a hand to his chin. All I could do is watch them, because I was way too weak to move...as much as I would hate to admit it...I am going to need help to walk after this.

"Well if you to are bonded~ then all I would need to be reunited with my Victoria is to drink Kokichi's blood and take the bond from the two of you~ Then me and my love will be together forever" He said with a blush on his cheeks as he slowly came towards me and Shuichi again. Shuichi pushed him away pretty forcefully making his back hit the wall. So, I was right, if he does that he takes our bond away...I felt some tears forming in my eyes. Will that mean Shuichi won't love me anymore?

"W-well," He coughed out. "If you are going to be this stubborn then I have other ways~" He said before he left the office in a flash. I felt weak in the chair and tried to call out for Shuichi, but I could barely say anything before he turned around to face me.

He moved back over so he was kneeling in front of me. He then gently moved his hand to rest on my lap while grabbing my hand. His hand felt warm against my own and it made me feel safe. Because I had him with me now and I wasn't going to get bit by another... He looked into my eyes as I opened mine to look back at him.

"Hey Shu," I said with a small laugh. He gently smiled and cupped my cheek with my hand. I flinched at this action, probably because of the bruise on my cheek...and neck.

"Hey Kichi...I'm sorry," He said looking down. I moved my hand to his cheek before I leaned down to put my lips against his. I felt more relaxed at this feeling. I felt him smile against my lips before he moved his arms around the back of my neck. He slowly moved so I was standing over him kissing him. I tilted my head back and let myself relax in his embrace.

We held each other for a long moment. It was full of the longing Shuichi had for being apart from me, and the fear that was still bothering me...but it was more of the safety I was feeling in that moment with him. Being in our moment together.

"It wasn't your fault Shuichi," I said quietly, pressing my forehead against his own, before he pulled away from me.

"But if I was here before then you wouldn't have gotten hurt so I'm so-" I cut him off before he could finish apologizing. I planted a kiss on both of his cheeks before I smiled to myself.

"It wasn't thank you for coming when you did...I don't know what would have happened if you didn't," I said looking to the side, feeling a little guilty for not being strong enough to protect myself.

Shuichi looked down before he moved his head to my neck. I was confused by this before he nuzzled his head into my neck like a cat. I shuddered at the touch and gently traced a heart onto the back of his neck.

-Tomorrow is my math test...I know most of the material but I'm still worried that I'm going to not do very well, but I'm sure I will be alright! Thank you all so much for reading!-
