My two Best Friends are a wolf demon and a Dark Angel?...cool

Black eyes peered at the small group in the hospitals waiting room. He turned back and motioned to someone.

“You know what to do.” he whispered his voice seeming to roll around and thunder in his throat, even as he whispered.

“Go for the one pacing, he looks more... hopeful.” He chuckled as amusement danced in his black eyes that slowly turned back to blue then turned and walked off, pulling a hood over his sandy brown hair that was tied into a low ponytail as he went. The dark haired beauty looked as her master walked away and then back thru the window and smiled wickedly at the pacing boy

"This is going to be easy" she giggled to herself and then turned and walked off.

~The waiting room~

Akira paced around nervously, his feet walking in a straight line, right on top of a crack.

“Do you think she’ll be ok?”

Michiro took in a shaky breath and then yawned.

“She’ll be fine Akira, she just needs to rest.” Michiro looked up at his friend.

“You know it’s supposed to be bad luck to walk on a crack.” Akira looked at him panicked and quickly stepped off of it. Michiro chuckled then began to laugh. Akira glared at him.

“It’s not funny.” he protested, trying to fight back laughter of his own.

“Ri-ght!” Michiro said, making it sound like right had two syllables.

“Seriously though, chill. It’ll be fine.” Michiro reaaaured him again. Akira smiled weakly.

“I guess, I’m just nervous you know?” Akira said as he looked down at the floor and shrugged. Michiro nodded his head in silence. He knew that Akira had felt something more for their little Niana and t wasnt hard to see. Michiro looked down at his hands and took in another shaky breath and let it out slowly once silence fell between the two friends

"So what happened to you and Momo?" Michiro asked cautiously. He knew that right now probably wasnt the best time to ask him about this months girlfriend while he was worrying about the one in the hospital bed that he so dearly wanted. Akira looked up at Michiro with shock in his eyes

"Why would you ask me about her now?"

"Because if I dont, Niana will. You know that"

"Yeah but I think this is more for your curiousity" Akira informed. Michiro just leaned back in his seat with his usual goofy smile

"You know me all to well" was all he said. Akira looked back at Niana's door and started to pace back and forth once again

"Momo left me tonight when I told her that Niana needed me" he said under his breath but he knew that with Michiros hightened senses, he heard what he said.

"What do you mean SHE left YOU?" by this time Akira had taken a seat next to Michiro and placed his head in hands and let out a frustrated sigh

"She told me that if Niana was more important to me than she was, then she was going to leave. Then she just kept on talking about how she is suppose to come first to me before any girl"

"What did you tell her when she said that?"

"I told her that no matter what, Niana came first and always will. No girl I date will ever be first compared to Nia" Akira admitted. Miichiro smiled down at his friend

"You know, when I got together with Kitara. I told her that Niana came first because she was my best friend and she came way before her. Kitara was fine with it and understood where i was coming from" Michiro explained. Akira nodded and looked up at the door again

"Why didnt she tell us sooner?"

"She didnt want to lose us"

"But if she just told us then, we'd be more comfortable with each other and there would be no secrets"

"I know but i also know where shes coming from and being one of her closest friends, you should too"

"I do understand. Its just that...."

"You dont think she trusts us enough?"

"I did feel that way at first but I dont anymore"

"Good" Michiro nodded his head and closed his eyes. Akira looked at his best friend and shook his head as a smile formed on his face. What a strange bunch their group was. But neither of them would change it for the world, that much Akira knew.

~Niana's room~

Niana sat up in her bed and looked out the window near her bed. She had woken up a little while ago and just couldnt close her eyes again. She had run her slender fingers through her now pink hair and sighed

"I have tried to hard to hide it and now they saw it" she whispered. She didnt want her two best friends to find out who and what she really was. It scared her and she figured it would scare them too but what Akira had pulled earlier in the night kept replaying in her head like a movie. She kept hearing him telling her that he was there for her. Niana closed her eyes and watched the movie play over and over again. His words were so soothing and calming. And even when the adults warned him of how dangerous she was, he sat there, holding her close to him telling him that he was there now. A tear had rolled down her cheek but was gently wiped away making her open her eyes again. Her father was sitting in front of her with a gentle smile on his worried face

"He risked a lot to make sure you were alright"

"I know"

"Then why did you shed a tear?" he asked. Niana looked away from her father and out the window. More tears welled up in her eyes but then she broke down. Closing her eyes tightly and shook her head as the tears fell freely

"He could of died.....And I would be the one responsible.....If only I had told them and If I had drank the blood before hand then none of this would have happened!" she cried. Jared had wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him as she cried into his chest.

"Im a monster daddy" she cried. Jared shook his head as he held her tighter to him. This was the one thing he never wanted to hear his daughter say. He didnt want her to think of herself as a killing machine. But here she was, falling apart in his arms calling herself a monster. He knew that no matter what he told her, she would still think about it constantly. Akira and Michiro could do the same and still nothing would change. She was going to get distant from them to keep them safe from her and then she'll eventually run away again.

"I wanted to bite him daddy. I wanted to hurt him. I was so scared"

"I know princess" he whispered as he gently rubbed her back. A tear had slowly slid down his cheek as she cried into his chest.

~Outside~

He had stood against the tree and watched as Jared held his daughter. A smirk played on his lips

"Just wait old friend, she will be mine and theres nothing you can do to stop it" he whispered. He had his dark haired servant starting on her project in the morning. While he plotted the rest of his revenge against Jared Ortaga.
