You were cuddled into Yui's side, it was cold in that room at night, at night. Shouldn't you be getting up soon?

"Ah!" Yui bolted up in the bed, breathing heavily and clutching her chest.

Yep. There we go.

You watched sleepily as Yui stumbled out of bed and through the door. Time to get up. Your mouth stretched open in a yawn as you stretched your arms in the air, maybe Yui needed a drink? Or what if she was sick? Her immune system could be being weakened by all the blood loss.

You leaped out of bed, planting your feet firmly, you stuck a fist in the air crying out dramatically. "If Shisutā is sick I will nurse her back to health!"

You heard clapping from the bed. Turning around slowly you felt like sweatdropping at the sight, as expected Laito was sitting on the mattress smirking at you. Why does he keep popping up?

"How sweet Omocha-chan~" He give you a pleading look. "Would you do the same for me?"

"NO!" You stamped your foot, blushing a bit at his. . . weirdness.

He placed on hand on his heart dramatically. "Now now Omocha, is that any way to treat your sensei?"

"YOU ARE NOT MY SENSEI! I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO PLAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS!" You left off the 'somehow'. At this point you went out into the hall, still in your plain white nightgown, with Laito trailing behind you for his own amusement.

"STOP IT!" You screeched when he started dangling you by your feet, not that he'd let you drop, and teasing you.

"What is with all this commotion?" Reiji demanded suddenly. Your eyes went wide as you saw him now standing in front of you.

Oh crap.

Laito disappeared, with you, leaving a very upset grey(?) haired vampire behind. You were now in the kitchen, sitting on the counter, with no vampires in sight. You sighed in relief and were preparing to hop down when the door opened. Kanato walked in.

Dang it.

"Eh, good evening Kanato-sama." You said after a moment.

"Good evening Ningyō." His tone was so polite. . . Right now.

You grew vaguely uncomfortable as he continued staring at you. "Well, was there something you needed?"

"Teddy and I are going to have a tea party."

"Uh, have fun!"

"I wasn't finished Ningyō, please refrain from interrupting me." His voice was so cool, you nodded silently. "And Teddy wished for you to be invited."

(AH HELL NO!)

"Err, well," You faltered before deciding to accept. "Please thank Him for me Kanato, it would be, um, my honor to attend!" You smiled brightly at him. He just turned and started walking away.

"Please follow me."

You jumped down from the counter and rushed out after him. "So, how did you find me so fast?"

"Your blood leaves a foul scent in the air wherever you go."

'Gee it's great to see you too.' You deadpanned and continued walking in silence.

"Here we are." Kanato opened the door to a room you remembered, there were toys and dolls in it, lending it a childlike air despite the gloominess of the atmosphere in the mansion. "You'll need to get changed before you attend." Your eyebrow twitched. "There's a dress over there for you Ningyō." Kanato smiled widely.

You grabbed the dress and walked into the bathroom. Mansions. You kinda wished you had one. Not this one! No. But some mansion. Groaning a bit at the fluffy, lacey pastel pink creation before you, you began shoving it on. Grumbling you exited the room.

"You look so cute Omocha-chan!"

"YOU!" You pointed at the offending, hat wearing, vampire.

"Sit down please Ningyō." Kanato said sternly.

You grumpily marched to your seat, plopping down with a pout adorning your features. The two vampires watched in amusement. Eventually Reiji came and told them it was time for school and they left with slight disappointment in all three parties. Maybe having tea with Kanato and Laito wasn't so bad. You changed back into your nightgown and hung the dress up carefully, then leaving to go back to your room.

Once there you changed clothes again and began work on your homework. It seemed like you had only been there for fifteen minutes, but when you broke away to get something to drink you had finished three chapters.

'Why couldn't it have worked like that in real life? Err, what?' You were somewhat confused by the thought that popped into your head, but disregarded it and headed to get something to drink. On your way downstairs you spotted Ayato on a couch. 'Is he sleeping?'

Suddenly he sat up, his eyes widening.

"Umm, Ayato-sama?" You asked, concerned.

He passed you as he ran up the stairs, you running along behind him.

"Ayato-sama!" You panted as he slammed the door to your room open, calling "hey!", "What is it?" Then you spotted something on a the mattress, you both walked forward and he picked up the silver cross. Staring at it you and he seemed to narrow your eyes in worry.

Where was Yui?
