DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN TUSKUNE OR MOKA

CHAPTER 1

10 YEARS AGO

"Tsukune!" yelled a familiar voice, "Are you going to push me or not?"

"Coming Moka," I called, and then ran over to meet her.

"What were you doing?" She asked curiously.

"I thought I saw someone I had seen earlier at my home when my mom and I left home so I could play with you."

Moka looked in the direction I was looking and glared.

"I don't see anyone. We have to finish playing before my dad comes back and takes me home."

Moka and I were friends since the first time we met in pre-k. Throughout the day we played tag, hide-and-seek, and took turns pushing each other on the swings. When we were both tired out I bought her and me a cherry flavored snow cone with the money my father gave me.

"Here you go," I said, trying to hand her the icy treat, but my footing caught something, dumping her cone all over her. My eyes open wide as she glared at me than I burst out laughing. Her face went as red as the cherry flavored food colouring. Unexpectedly her eyes lit up and she threw a hand full of melting ice into my face. Licking my lips I smiled at her mischievously. "THIS IS WAR!" I exclaimed. Back in fourth we threw ice at each other till we were sticky, red and cold. We stood facing each other huffing and puffing from the chase. The wind blew causing us both to shiver.

"I'm sorry Moka, are you going to get into trouble?" I said worried. Moka was gaping at me or at something behind me; however, once I looked over I didn't see anyone.

"Moka?" I said again now scared. I took a step closer, but out of nowhere Moka's dad appears. I jumped surprise.

"Sorry Tsukune, but it's getting late I should to take my daughter home. Look there's your mother now," he said pointing behind me.

I turned around and my mother was there. "Tsukune! What have you been doing to get all sticky like that!" my mother scolded.

"See you tomorrow Tsukune-kun!" Moka shouted as we departed.

"Bye, Moka-chan!"

I waved as my mother carried me away in the opposite direction. As I watched Moka leave her smile suddenly turned into the saddest I've ever seen her become. I averted my vision because the look scared me more than her getting in to trouble. I turned towards the spot where I thought I had seen that man from earlier. He was there, but all I could focus were his cold, dark eyes. I shivered and my mother's hand tightens around mine.

"Let's hurry and get you into something warm and un-sticky," she said sweetly. Once we got home there was already a warmed bath prepared and the air was thick with dad's cooking. My mouth watered and my stomached rumbled. My mother chuckled as I rubbed my hungry tummy.

"The quicker you take your bath the more you can eat."

I ran to the bathroom at the same time pulling my clothes off and jumped into the herbal bath. "Tsukune!" she yelled as a warning.

"Love you too Ma," I quickly washed the smell of cherry away, dried off, got dress, and was at the table in seconds. Dad had cooked rice balls, Raman, and squid. I dug in eating more of my usually portions.

"Slow down Tsukune; you're going to choke," said my father.

I grinned at him.

"It's not my fault your cooking is so good."

"He's right you know," my mother grinned.

I continued to eat till I was full. I thought I had eaten all of it, but dad said there was more in the kitchen. I pushed my plate away and sigh. Suddenly, there was a loud breaking sound at felt like it could shatter my eardrums.

"Tsukune, honey, quickly go hide!" My mother said urgently.

My eyes widen with fear and I took off. Breathing hard, I sat as quietly in my hiding place in the floor as I could. My frantic heart pounded against my chest. My mind raced to figure out what was going on. My mother had told me to run to my secret hiding place and stay quiet. Once I got there I heard a scream that sounded extremely like my mother's. A panicked sob threatens to escape my mouth, but I dared not to let out a sound. Suddenly, the sound of the footsteps shattered my confused thoughts and I stopped my breathing.

"Come out, come out, where ever you are little boy," the ominous voice taunted.

The voice was deep and unfamiliar. I could only imaging what kind of sick thoughts went threw his head. Desperately, I wanted to cry out for my dad, but what made me so sure he hadn't killed him too? I let out a gasp for air and right then, the man's feet stopped in front of my hiding place. I froze. Cold terror swept my body making it numb. The heavy footsteps started again and no longer could I see his feet. When I heard the door shut and held my breath a little longer to make sure he was gone, I let it out. With out warning, my hiding place in the floor smashed into splinters of wood cutting my face and arms. I gasped in pain. Strong arms wrapped around my neck.

"Clever hiding place. I would have never thought to look there. If only you had stayed quiet a little bit longer, you probably would have escape with your life."

I couldn't plead for my life. Already, my vision was clouding and my lungs burned for air. The guy's hair was blond and for a second I thought his eyes gleamed red and blood stained his mouth. The lack of oxygen was messing with my head so I'm not totally sure what I was seeing. The guy's mouth open like he was about to laugh but instead that mouth was headed for my neck. I started to panic from the confusion and my racing heart. One of his arms grabbed mine and pulled. I yelled out in pain before blackness took over my vision.

PRESENT DAY (6 years later)

"It's seems the blood poisoning is gone at last Tsukune."

I looked at the doctor in shock, "Really, just from these pills?"

I shook the empty bottle in front of him, "Yeah," he said snatching it out of my hands, "You don't need to take this anymore. You're body became accustomed to the pills for some time now, so it'll take about a week or so for the drug to stop attacking. Since there's no more poison in your system, the remaining drug still in you may attack your bloods cells making you anaemic until your body gets rid of it."

My shock turned into disbelief, "You've got to be joking."

"You'll have to come in tomorrow and every day until next week on Monday for your blood donation. If you skip even one day that night you may be dead."

"Well that's depressing," I said flatly. "May I go?"

"You can. I'll schedule you for 3:30 right after school."

I grabbed my bag and went out the door. "What did they say," said my Aunt.

"I don't have to take them anymore. He said the poisoning from that day disappeared."

"That's great, but why do you look so down."

"I'm going to become anaemic for a week, because the stupid drug has nothing else to attack. It's going to attack my blood cell until my liver can get rid of it."

"Oh, do you think you'll still be able to go to school," she asked once we were out the building.

"I honestly have no clue. All I want to do is get out of this snow and do homework," I said grimily.

"Well, I have to get back to work. I'll be home with dinner once it's time for me to leave," she said than kissed me goodbye.

I walked home thinking about that day of my parents' death. The police had said that they had found me bloody with my chest practically in shreds. That explained the creepy scar across my chest. The operators said that had caught an infection that poisoned my blood, until now. My parents were dead, and the police never caught the killer. I clenched my fist as anger swelled from within me. When I was on what was almost my death bed I wanted to see what the killers did to them, but my Aunt had begged me not to look. I did anyway. I had nightmares after the whole time I was hospitalized, and every time I woke up I cried. The pictures flashed in my head once again. My nails dug into my skin until I felt my skin break and blood welling up. I opened the door to my Aunt's place, heading strengths to my room. I collapsed on my bed. Rolling over I stared at the ceiling, not bothering to do the work I was supposed to be doing until my Aunt came home.

"Tsukune, are you awake?"

"Yeah," I said in the same position I was in two hours ago.

"Are you hungry?"

I set up as she came into my room with a plate of food. "Thank you." I said before she left.

"No problem Tsukune."

I ate, even went for seconds, and then got started on my homework. Before the night ended I started to feel anaemic. I groaned and gave up on my homework.

"Night, Tsukune."

"Night Aunty." The lights in the house went out, thrusting my room in darkness. I was lost in my own thoughts, as I always was. My Aunt would always tell me how happy a child I was before they died. Once a month I would visit their grave, but not anymore; the memories always threaten to make me sink into my own sea of emotions. When I did sink I would always think about killing the guy who did this to me.

My eyes grew heavy, but the anger inside me kept building and building. I fell asleep in my own rage, clenching a family picture.

The next morning I felt like I haven't eaten in days. It took a lot of effort to even get out of bed. By the time I was ready for school I was late. I tried to rush out the door, but my Aunt stopped, "No you don't. You need red meat and iron in your system." She handed me a plate with a thick piece of steak half way cooked on it.

I stared at her in horror, "I can't eat that! It's not cooked enough!"

She looked at what she had prepared for me then gave me a look.

"Fine, here's some money to get food on your way there and here's a note for your teachers about your condition."

"It's not a condition, it's a side affect."

"Get going before I have to drive you and embarrass you."

On my way I grabbed a really badly cooked burger- It was practically raw! I almost vomited on the side walk, but I kept it down and shuddered. This was not worth eating for a week. If I get parasites from eating all this crap I know who I'm blaming, I thought. I threw away the dripping wax paper and bought some gum to get rid of the after taste.

"Hey Tsukune, we missed you after school," said my friend Tanner.

"Yeah, I had a doctor's appoint," I said to him.

"What did he say?"

"I'm clean."

"From that infection you had from six years? You look like you could relapse into it any second."

"I'm just a little low on blood; I have to go get a transfusion after school. Meaning we can't hang out."

"Dude, that just sucks. Why not skip it, there's this party at an abandon factory across town. Completely isolated. No one would catch us drinking."

"I don't feel like dying today Tanner."

"You're looks beg to differ," he laugh and punches my shoulder. The blow was soft but my body was weak causing me to stumble and drop my bag. "Tsukune, I think you need that transfusion now and after school."

"I think you right. Did you bring your car?"

"I'm driving."

"Well your blood pressure is extremely low. Your friend did right for bring you to me. Stick out you arm please. Just relax and it will be over in 'bout thirty minutes."

He left leaving me with Tanner. "Man you look like shit."

"Thanks Tanner," I say flatly.

"You're in this because of that drug you've been taking since you moved here?"

I nodded, "I knew this was going to happen before hand. I just never imagine feeling this vulnerable."

Tanner just set back down shaking his head. Once he got bored he went to get us something to eat. After twenty minutes had past and he didn't come back I had already decided that I was going to punch the living day lights out of him for making me walk back to school.

"Well Tsukune, you look better already."

"I feel much better."

"Before we did the transfusion I took a sample for your blood. It seems the drug is disappearing quicker than I anticipated. You should be fine by tomorrow afternoon, but I want you to come in tomorrow morning and so we can do another transfusion."

"Thank you, as long as I don't have to eat half cooked meat anymore."

The Doctor pulled the needle out of my arm, cleaned the wound and put a bandage over it. "See you this afternoon Tsukune."

"I still have to come?"

"Yes; however, it won't take as long as this was. Maybe about fifteen minutes tops."

I sighed and left the room. "The car's the other way genius," came Tanners voice from behind me.

"You didn't get food did you?"

"For me, yes. You on the other hand, no. Sorry man, I got caught up."

"With what? You were in the hospital the whole time." He just smiled and I sigh again.

"Can we just get back before I'm kicked out of school? I've missed enough days with these visits. They have to be costing my Aunt a mansion."

Tanner and I made it just in time for third period. I handed my teachers my excuse throughout the day. Right after school, Tanner drove me to the party he had mentioned before.

"Where the hell are we?"

"Don't know, got the address from some stranger."

An image stirred in my memory. A guy staring at me as I looked over my mother's shoulder. I shook it away, not want to think about it.

"Hey, did you hear me?" I said.

"We're here."

Trees surrounded every inch of the area. The only building was a rundown factory. I could here a loud bass twelve yards away. "Is there anyone I even know here?"

"Yeah, me"

"Is there anyone you know besides me?"

"Just you," he laughed.

"So you know no one? What if this is not what it looks like?"

"Dude, Tsukune, you worry too much. You hear the music don't you?"

I sighed, knowing I was not going to like they way this was going to turn out. However, I didn't want to upset Tanner, so I went in anyway. The inside of the place looked like a night club. Two coloured lights flashed around heard of teenagers dancing to the beat. There was even a bar in the center of it. Tanner left me to join some random chick on the dance floor. I danced my way through the crowed to the bar. It took longer than I thought because I got caught up in the beat of the music and stared dancing longer than I intended. The air was filled with the smell and heat of the bodies around me. The pulsing music, the adrenalin and the sparked air was toxic combination. Once I was too hot and out of breath to continue, I headed to where I thought I was supposed to be going in the first palace.

"What will it be?"

I was about to say water until Tanner appeared on the seat next to me, "He'll have a Bloody Martini and so will I."

"I'm not drinking that."

"He can have water, I'll have his martini. So, are you having fun Tsukune?"

It took me a few seconds then it should have to answer. "Yeah."

My water came with his drink and I chugged my down. Tanner got me another bottle and this time I poured it over my hair. "Are you OK?"

"I'm fine, just hot." I went to the side and shook my hair out. Tanner smiled and laughs with approval and his dark eyes gleamed. I stared at him. Somehow he looked like something of someone. Before I could make the connection, he left the bar and disappeared into the crowd. I shrugged off the uneasy feeling in my head and went back to dancing. Somehow I was able to get for girls numbers and a kiss, but none of the girls had caught my attention like the one I was dancing with now. She had long pink hair, a kind face, a cross in hair, and green eyes. Suddenly my vision flickered, and her appearance changed completely. In place of that pick hair were silver locks. I couldn't hear the music anymore, but only her commanding ruthless voice.Do not give in.

I jumped back, bumping into a guy who was dancing behind me. He pushed me back. Causing me to be shoved into another guy. The girl I was really dancing with was nothing like the girl I apparently made up. I was already having trouble breathing again and the air was too thick. I pushed past the girl and found the door Tanner and I entered.

"I was wondering when you were coming out, Tsukune. I thought about getting you, but you looked like you were having so much fun." I glared at him; however, once his eyes grew wide I was wondering what was up.

"What are you staring at?"

"You're shirt, it's-it's covered in blood."

"What the hell." Once I became aware of the injury, the pain appeared. My vision began to blur and my knees buckled under me.
