Shana pulled him inside the school, just in time as the bell rang.

They reached their classes.
"Shit just in time too." Sora said running over to his seat, sitting down.

Shana went over to her seat and sat down.

(Timeskip?)

((Yup! After school!))

Aki skipped out of class, smiling. "I'm so happy it over! Let winter break begin!"

"Finally." Arein said following after her,
Arci followed behind him.
Sora followed behind them, talking to Shana.

Aki smiled at Arein and Arci. "So! You guys want my parents to go pick you up from your house or do you guys want to come to my house? We will be leaving tomorrow morning so whichever is good for you."

Shana looked at Sora. "Last chance to just go on you trip with your family which will probably more fun than hanging out with me."

"We'll come to you!!" Both said quickly.

"I definitely want to spend it with you. Although i wonder if my parents will believe me when I tell them, I'm just gonna hang with a friend. They may think it's a random excuse I'm coming up with." Sora said.

Aki was a bit surprised when they both answered so quickly. "Um okay. You can sleep over if you want as well."

"Why would they think that? Don't they trust you enough believe you?" Shana asked.

"Sure." Arein said.
"Um, ok." Arci said.

Sora nodded. "Yeah my parents trust me completely. They just know I'd do anything to get put of this vacation. But maybe if I told them, that I just wanna keep you company and that'll make me happy. They'll believe me."

Aki smiled even more. "Great! So you guys can pack up and I'll give you my address for you to come to."

Shana nodded. "Okay. But...what of they get...the wrong idea?"

"Alright." Both said.

"Trust me they won't." Sora said.

Aki took out a pen and notepad and wrote her address on it before ripping it out and handing it to them. "There! Come whenever you're ready and we will have an awesome sleepover!"

Shana nodded. "Okay...I believe you..."

"Of your brother doesn't murder us." Arein said.
Arci elbowed him and took the paper. "Thanks Aki. We'll be there in about a hour or so!"

"Well! I gots to go tell my mom and dad, they're probably packing right now. Text me whenever you want a friend to chill with." Sora whispered to Shana handing her a red sticky note with his number in black sharpie on it. "See ya Shana." He said hugging her quickly. Then he pulled back and put an arm around his cousin. "Aight Aki. See ya" he said. He ruffled her hair then ran off at vampire speed.
"He's actually.....cheery...." Arci said.

Aki fixed her hair and nodded. "Yeah. He must be even more excited to get away from this school."
Shana blushed slightly. "Maybe..."

"Probably." Arein said.
Arci simply nodded.

Aki hugged Shana tightly. "Last chance to come with!"
Shana smiled and hugged her back. "No. I've actually got plans of my own. Message me when you get the chance."
"Of course!" She let her go. "Bye!" She ran off, a skip in her step.
Shana waved good bye to the two and walked away, humming.

Arci and Arein looked at eachother, and shrugged.
Arein set his skateboard down and hopped on. He helped Arci on behind him.
Arci sighed and held onto his shoulders.
Arein took off. "C'mon everyone else is happy. Besides you Arci."
"I hsve have my reasons." Arci said.

Aki rushed home and came rushing inside. "Daaaad! Where is Daisuke?!"

"In his room sweetie!" Russell called from the couch.
Sora rushed into the house, through the window. "Oh parents of mine!!!!"
Cc walked over and shut the window. "Honestly Sora. You're as bad as your father."
"Hey Mom. Where's Dad?" Sora said.
"Somewhere around the house. I just got home from work not even a minute ago." Cc said.
"Daaaaaaaadddd!!!" Sora yelled.

Aki smiled. "Thanks!" She rushed up the stairs and to their room.
Miki was sleeping on the couch with her head on Russell's lap. She slowly woke up and yawned "Aki's home?"

Jake appeared next to the window. "You called?"

"Yep." Russell said.

"Hey Dad." Sora said.
Cc jumped with a squeal. "God damnit Jake. I will never get used to this!" She stormed upstairs. And then came down in a red off short sleeved baggy shirt, that showed her shoulders and black leggings and flicked her husband's and son's foreheads.
"Hey! You're fault for marrying a vampire and having his baby." Sora said.
"You sound like your uncle. Anyways whats up?" Cc said.
"About that trip thingy." Sora said.

Miki nodded slightly, curling up in a ball. "Daisuke doing better?"

Jake raised an eyebrow as he rubbed his forehead some. "What about it?"

Russell nodded. "He seemed better when I check on him."

Sora rubbed his forehead as well. "I-i'm not gonna go. Don't murder me!"
"Ok sweetie. You're old enough to make your own choices." Cc said.
"That was a shocker. " Sora thought. "Really?"

Miki nodded. "Good..." She closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

"Yeah just tell us why not." Jake said.

Russell smiled and stroked her hair.

"I'm not lying when I tell you this. But my friend Shana, just....needs a friend to hang out with during vacation. And her best friend which is Aki, as you probably already know is going away with her family. So I volunteered....."Sora said.
"Awww. Sora that's so sweet!" Cc said.
Sora blushed. "Mooooom..."
Cc smiled. "Well I for one am proud of you for it. And it's an amazing reason."

Miki smiled in her sleep
Aki rushed downstairs and walked over to the couch. She saw that her mom was sleeping and decided to keep her voice down. "Um dad, can my two friends come with us on our vacation?"

Jake nodded. "Yeah. That really is kind of you." He rustled his hair with a smile. "Such a kind..." He sniffed him. And then again and his eyes went to his arm.

"Of course...who are they?" Russell whispered.

Sora hid his arm behind his back. "Um......thanks."
"Jake what's the matter?" Cc asked.
(Sorry didn't know you responded.)

"Their names are Arci and Arein. They are going to sleep over as well..." Aki said with a whisper.

Jake stared at his arms and sighed. "Nothing to worry about..."

Russell nodded. "Did you give them the address."

"I'm gonna go upstairs now." Sora said walking upstairs.

Aki nodddd. "Uh huh!"

Jake sighed and shook his head.

"Aight. Of course they can." Russell whispered.

"Jake?" Cc asked.

Aki smiled and hugged him, careful not to disturb miki. "Yes! Love you dad." She whispered excitedly.

"I smelled blood on his arm. His own blood. Fresh out of the skin. His a was bleeding at some point but why...I wonder." Jake said as he stared at the stairs.

"Love you too sweetheart." Russell whispered.

Cc gasped. "Wha-what?!"

Aki giggled and skipped up the stairs to get ready.

Jake nodded. "He didn't tell which means he doesn't want to talk about it but...." He sighed.

"O-oh..." Cc said.

"We should address this..." Jake looked at cc. "Right?"

Cc nodded. "Yes. We don't have a choice."

Jake nodded. "Okay..." He took a deep breath and headed upstairs.

Cc followed him up.

Arein and Arci reached their house just as their aunt pulled up.
"Aunty Geena!!!" Arci squeaked running over to her hugging her.
"Arcileenne you've gotten so tall!!" Geena said.
"Thanks for house sitting Aunty." Arein said.
"No problem. Arein you're still getting around on a skateboard?" Geena said.
Arein nodded.
"Not anymore." Geena said as the garage opened to show a blue and black Harley Davidson motorcycle and a red electric scooter.
"Scooter!!" Arci squealed running towards it.
"Awesome. I got my own motorcycle!!" Arein said.

Jake walked up to Sora's room and knocked. "Sora? Can we talk?"

"One sec!" Sora called putting the bloody blade down on his bathroom sink, pulling his jacket on, wincing in pain. Then he shut his bathroom door, locked it, and threw the key under his bed mattress then ran towards his bedroom door, opening it. "Y-yo?"

Jake grabbed his bleeding arm and squeezed lightly.

Sora winced in pain and bit his tongue. "St-stop it.....Dad.....what are you doing."
"Yumi!" Cc yelled.
Yumi suddenly appeared. "Yes ma'am?"
"Check his arm..." Cc said.
Yumi flew into Sora's jacket and into the sleeve, then came out. "There's a lot of marks and blood."
Cc gasped and covered her mouth.
"Yumi!!" Sora hissed.
"Sorry Sora." Yumi said sitting on Sora's shoulder hugging his neck. "But they're your parents."

Jake frowned at him and his eyes flashed red as he rolled up his sleeve to see. He frowned more. "Why are you doing this?"

Sora pulled his arm back. "None of your fucking business!"
"Sora!" Cc said.

"It is my fucking business! You're my son and I am worried about you! Why the hell are you do this to yourself?" Jake said.

"Go away!" Sora yelled.
"Sora!! Talk to us!!" Cc said.

Jake suddenly grabbed him by his shoulders and slammed him against the wall with his eyes glowing red. You are going to listen to us and tell us what is going on! We love you and want to help you. " even though his eyes were red, they looked worried and sad.

"Jake!!!" Cc said pulling him back.
Sora fell to his knees, looking down.
Cc sighed and kneeled down in front of him. "Sora talk to us..."
"I'm....a.....horrible....per-person­...­&qu­ot; Sora said.
