Three days passed. I couldn�t sleep
the whole time. At least it rained those first two days, and I could occupy
myself by going out.

Shido had saved up quite a large
nest egg from the days when he ran a private detective agency specializing in
Breed-related cases. He often gave me gifts or spending money, so I took what I
felt to be my allowance. (Technically, part of the money was mine anyway, since
I used to help out around the office, too.)

�I went uptown and bought a new white dress.
Surprisingly, it didn�t make my pale skin too noticeable. I couldn�t wait for
Shido to see it, although I knew he�d tease that it was impractical and that I
would get blood on it.

The third morning dawned sunny,
confining me to the church. I spent the morning playing virtual games with
Satsuna, who was almost fully healed thanks to the herb-lore and numerous
�attentions� of the sisters. He�d just beaten me at a shooting game again when
we heard a commotion from down the hall. I stood up and went to the hall door.

I had to jump back as the door was
flung open and an unconscious vampire was carried through towards the intensive
care rooms. I glimpsed a gaping wound in his abdomen which was bleeding freely.

I went back to the couch and sat.
�They�ll have to feed him fast. He was losing a lot of blood.� It was then I
noticed that �Suna was paler than usual. He was staring at the floor, eyes
wide. �Hey, what�s wrong? Did you recognize him?�

He turned to me, bewildered.
�Didn�t you? It was Mikao.�

�Mikao?!�
I�d met him years and years ago when I was traveling. He lived at the sanctuary
at Kyoto. �What�s he doing here?�

�Suna had gotten over his initial
shock. �I don�t know, but that neck wound was serious!�

�Neck wound? I only saw the hole in
his belly.�

�He�s been bitten.�

I couldn�t breath. Bitten?! . . .
What vampire would bite another of his kind in violence? I was stunned. My mind
went blank of everything but disbelief and fear. And yet there was a trace of a
thought at the back of my mind that was starting to twitch.

Suddenly, the hall door burst open
again. It was the Father. He didn�t even spare a glance for �Suna and me, but
rushed on toward where they�d taken Mikao. I tried to follow, but he�d locked
the door behind him. My mind swirled with questions now . . . and that nagging
sensation that there was something I should be realizing.

We sat there in silence for a
while. It�s funny; when I was human, any extended silence petrified me, but when
I was turned, it didn�t seem quite so scary anymore �almost as if, now that I
had eternity, I could stand to wait for the next sound I would hear.

After a while, two of the sisters
came and offered to feed us. Because healing sapped so much of his strength,
�Suna was famished. But I still had that nagging twitch of a thought. I glanced
at the door where they�d taken Mikao and decided I wasn�t that hungry. I
politely refused and left Satsuna to enjoy himself.

I simply sat in the apartment that
afternoon, missing Shido terribly. It seemed that as each moment passed he was
farther and farther away from me . . . and something else was coming closer. A
shiver went down my spine.

�I tried to think of something else.

Mikao. It
was disturbing that he�d been bitten. I kept seeing the blank look in his eyes.
If he�d been human, I�d have thought him dead, the way those eyes had stared.
It was almost as if he wasn�t there at all.

�Who could�ve � would�ve � done that to him?

There was that nagging twitch
again.

What was Mikao doing in Tokyo
anyway?

Why wouldn�t that twitch go away?!

I sighed and shifted on the couch.
Although our apartment had no windows, I knew it was almost sunset.

Suddenly, I looked up. I wasn�t
alone. There was a presence in the room. I turned myself � made ready for
anything. I saw nothing but darkness. Something brushed my hair. I thought I
heard a low chuckle. I spun as I jumped up. I recognized the presence � it was
the same one I had felt coming closer and closer, as Shido went farther from
me. . . . But I knew it from somewhere else too . . . Behind me!

�Riho!� I
blinked, stunned, as the light poured in from the hall, flooding my senses
along with Father Izawa�s presence. I let out the breath I�d been holding.
Maybe he was what I had felt. I had not slept or eaten since Shido had left;
weakness always made me confused and jumpy. I returned myself to a human
appearance.

�Father, is Mikao alright? What
happened?�

He ignored my questions, frowning
more deeply than I�d ever seen him do. �Please, speak with me in my office,
Riho.� He turned and headed for the stairs.

I hurried after him. �Father? What ��

�Not here, please.� Something was
troubling him.

Mikao? �
It couldn�t be . . . Shido?
