“Your grandmother?” Keiko blinked as she ate with Haru on the school rooftop.             “You’re going to meet her tomorrow,” he said, “We need to make sure you’re prepared.”             “What do I need to do?” she asked.             Haru answered, “I’m not sure you understand, Keiko-chan.

Cool night air surrounded Baba Haru as he stood outside of the gate to Keiko’s house.             “Goodnight, Haru-kun,” she said, “I’ll see you tomorrow.”             He waved, “Night, Keiko-chan. Make sure that Anzu doesn’t cause you any trouble.”             “You don’t need to worry about her.”             As Haru walked away, three heads poppedContinue reading “Chapter 9”

When the afternoon bell rang, Haru and Keiko got up from their desks and walked out into the hallway. A tall, lean second-year boy stepped in front of them. His mouth smiled, but his eyes didn’t. They seethed with arrogance.             “You’re Baba Haru, right?” he asked.             “I am, and you are?” Haru said.Continue reading “Chapter 8”

Keiko paced outside the gate to her house. She glanced around with worried eyes. “Haru-kun said he’d meet me here so we could walk to school together. I even got up early for it, but he isn’t here yet,” she sighed. “It’s probably nothing, but…” Loud caws caught her attention. Keiko’s head swung to theContinue reading “Chapter 7”

The noon sun drifted through clouds over the school rooftop where Haru and Keiko were sitting.             “Alright,” he said, “Let’s get started.”             “What are you testing for?” Keiko asked.             Haru answered, “I’m testing for two things: vampire blood and sidhe blood.”             “Sidhe?”             “Fairy. I would test for demon blood, butContinue reading “Chapter 6”

Baba Haru stood at the entrance to high school, the morning sun at his back.             “Well, the weekend is over now,” he said, “I wonder if Keiko will try anything or just ignore me?”             Footsteps caught his attention.             “There you are!” Keiko ran over, “You get to school later than I do.”Continue reading “Chapter 5”

Haru stood on a curb, waiting for Keiko to arrive. He watched the morning sun rise over the horison. His stomach grumbled. Haru looked at the time on his phone and saw that he had time to get something light to eat.             Haru walked into a fast food restaurant and walked up to theContinue reading “Chapter 4”

Classes had ended for the day and Baba Haru watched Mae Keiko as she left the classroom. The other students avoided her as she exited the room. Haru’s eyes turned cold when he saw this happen. He clenched his fist.             “They lined up to ‘protect’ her yesterday, but they’ve been avoiding her since. What’sContinue reading “Chapter 3”

A month and a half had passed since school started. Mae Keiko kept her arms close to her body as she walked to class. The students she passed gazed at her with admiration, only to turn away when she got closer.             A young woman said, “There she is. Keiko’s amaz…”             She was cutContinue reading “Chapter 2”

A pile of papers slammed Baba Haru in the face. He fell backward onto the sidewalk outside Yoko Oni High School. There was a group of angry students in front of him.             “What the hell?” he asked, “I was just giving you the papers you dropped.”             A girl answered, “You obviously took them!Continue reading “Chapter 1”
