Kaneko picked up a thick branch and dropped it upon hearing that terrifying yell. With shaky hands, the pale girl retrieved the branch and clutched it close to her chest. Her eyes wide in fear, darting back in the direction where both vampires were. Her feet didn't want to move, she was paralyzed with fear momentarily, but she knew that if she wanted to help Allen, she couldn't just stand there like an idiot. Kaneko took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, her feet carefully making their ways back towards the two vampires. The older one looked dead, but she wasn't sure if he really was or wasn't. What did a dead vampire look like? Don't risk it Kaneko Boa, you need to kill him yourself if you want to help Allen get better. You need to kill him. Go on, just do it already you idiot girl! Do it now! Her subconscious ordered her harshly. Right, Kaneko knew what she had to do. It would be easy, just a quick plunge of the branch and it would finally end. It would be over and she would have more of a reason to leave. Her hands gripped the thick branch and she positioned it right above the older vampire's chest, turning her head away, she raised the branch in the air then swiftly plunged it downwards towards the older vampire's chest. She didn't want to see it though, didn't want to witness herself kill anyone.

There was no sound, no scream. No signs of a struggle like she thought there would be. Slowly, she looked back down and let out a gasp. She had killed him! He was gone, only his clothes remained there on the ground. Her trembling hands dropped the branch onto the ground, she had done it. She had killed someone in order to protect Allen. She never thought she would ever kill a person for someone she cared about. She momentarily thought if this was what her father did when he was away from home.

Hot tears of fear threatened to spill down her cheeks but she held them back. She had to keep herself calm or else she would probably scream and she didn't need anyone coming to check what was the matter. Although she doubted anyone knew about this place. Allen's voice calmed her a little, the feeling of his hand on top of hers was so familiar, it slowed her breathing and helped her remain calm when she would normally be panicking. "It's...it's okay. He's gone now. He's never going to hurt you again Allen. Now....l-let's get you inside so we can grab some clothes before calling a cab." She replied, her voice just a tremble away from making her calm demeanor crumble away to show how truly scared she was. Her eyes were on the older man's clothes the entire time she spoke, then they looked towards Allen. "You're s-safe now."

Kaneko didn't dare step on the clothes laying on the ground. The thought alone was frightening. She only walked with Allen in silence, quietly thanking him for holding the door for her then stepped inside. "We can grab some clothes for you here a-and then walk to the park where I can call a cab." She said quietly. That was her plan, until she saw Allen that is. He was bleeding! "The cab can wait. Umm...h-here why don't you have a seat first." She suggested and pulled up a single wooden chair then helped him sit down. Kaneko quickly shut the front door and frowned. "Do you have any medical supplies here?" She asked him. It didn't really matter though, she just needed to stop the bleeding. "I'm going to take a look at the wound now, please remain still." Kaneko suggested quietly and carefully unbuttoned his shirt so that she could see how serious it was. It was very serious.

Okay well this could prove to be a big problem. Unless she ran all the way home and back. No, what if there were other vampires out there looking for her? What if they wanted to kill her or turn her into one of them? Kaneko shuddered at the thought. "The stitches..." She said quietly. "I'll be right back." She stood up and quickly ran up the old stairs to the study that acted as his bedroom as well. She remembered when she first was allowed into his home. Parts of the house were off limits, she still knew that. The study was just as he had last left it. Filled with all sorts of things. Things that he would probably need in the future. But first, the gauze. Her eyes darted around every little nook and cranny until she located it. Her hand grasped at it and she ran back downstairs to where Allen remained waiting. The stitched had to be redone, but she could probably just tie the ends of the strings together for a temporary fix. It was all she could do right now. She had no needle and thread of her own. "Okay...umm..." She tore off a bit of her shirt and walked to the kitchen sink. She turned the knob and wasn't surprised when hardly any water came out. What little water had wet the cloth, would have to do. Kaneko turned the knob back, shutting the water off and walked to Allen. "I apologize if it hurts." She told him as she knelt before him and carefully dabbed the wet cloth onto the bloody wound, carefully cleaning off the blood.

"Sorry, sorry.." Kaneko whispered, glancing upwards at Allen. He seemed so calm and collected despite what had happened. Maybe they could talk a bit to distract themselves from the events that took place outside. "You're a very good patient Allen." She said and smiled slightly. "Once I am done with this, I will step outside to retrieve your things alright? And you will wait right here until I get back. Then maybe I'll have you get some rest before we even think about going anywhere. Your health is my priority." Kaneko commented honestly. The blood was all cleaned up, and then the damp cloth was set on her thigh while her purse was opened. She rummaged through her things until she pulled out some hair tweezers. These would hopefully come in handy when re-tying the loose ends of the strings. This would probably hurt too. Probably. She used the tweezers to carefully grab on to a strand and gently pulled it, then the other, and she tied the ends together making a nice little knot. She did this to every stitch, it was a slow process but it would be worth it. Once they got to the new place, they could go to a hospital and get them properly fixed but this would have to do for now. "I'll have to buy a first aid kit when we arrive at our new....home." She said nervously. When she was done, Kaneko took the gauze and began to patch up the wound again. "There we go. Good as new. It's...it's not perfect but well...I did the best with what I had." She offered a weak smile then sighed. "I'm sorry f-for what happened Allen but I'm just glad you're okay. That you're safe from that man now." Kaneko said to him.

Kaneko smiled at his comment. "Thank-you. I try my best." She should have gone on to medical school and become an actual doctor, but her father.. Her life growing up was okay. She couldn't say it was terrible. She had been spoiled rotten and moreso after her mother left. Instead of going to medical school, she just went to get a regular job. Nothing fancy. Straight out of high school and into a waitress job. It was a good job, the tips were really what made the difference of a good day and a bad day. "I'll see if I can find you a clean shirt and I'll pack up your clothes as well. Your job will be to lay down and get some much needed rest. We can leave tomorrow if you don't want to stay here too long. Or later today. I prefer leaving tomorrow though. It would give you a chance to take it easy."

He was being too sweet, he had nothing to apologize for. What had happened was not his fault. He was the victim, not the culprit. Her hand gently caressed Allen's cool cheek, the warmth of her hand passing on to his cheek. "Allen, this was not your fault. You shouldn't apologize. You didn't do any of this on purpose. It was all that man's fault." She blushed when he kissed her hand. "He's gone and you're okay. I'm okay. We are okay and we are going to start a life of our own where hopefully no one can find us and bother us again. That sounds nice doesn't it?" Kaneko leaned over and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "You too are very precious to me, Allen." She whispered quietly.

Kaneko giggled, shaking her head. "I'm sure your room is just fine sir Allen. Thank-you for agreeing to stay until tomorrow. It's just that I worry your wound would possibly re-open again if we left right now. Perhaps by tomorrow it will be just a tiny bit safer." Perhaps it would be, perhaps it wouldn't make a difference. What had happened outside was tucked away in the farthest corners of her mind, it still sent shivers up her spine whenever she thought of it. The man had said he left to let Allen give in to instincts. That didn't make sense. If he wanted Allen to follow his instincts then why didn't he stick around and teach him? Well, that was a question that would remain unanswered. Allen was not like that man, Allen was not dangerous or terrifying. No. He was a familiar feeling to her. A feeling of safety, happiness. His voice calmed her nerves, simply holding his hand was enough for Kaneko to do anything for him. Even though his body was cold, he was the warmth in her life. The little glowing flame deep in her heart that filled her with ease when she was on the edge of breaking down. Her forehead rested gently against his own and a shy smile appeared on her face. He really was too kind to her. "I believe you, and I will make sure no one hurts you anymore." They would be okay. In a place where no one knew who they were, where no one from here could find them. Surely they'd be safe then. "Come now, let's get you in bed and tucked in. You need to rest in order to heal."

Kaneko realized just then that her shoes were outside. Another thing she would look for. But first, Allen needed to be properly tucked in and once she had everything she needed, then she could properly watch over him. "Alright, come along." Her hand held on to his own as her feet led her towards the stairs and up them. The floorboards creaked beneath their weight, but she was confident her foot wouldn't fall through. They were still pretty sturdy despite their age. It was strange, being back in here in this home. If it weren't for the memories attached to it and the fact that people could easily find them here, she wouldn't mind living here. Allen though, would rather be away from this place and she could understand why. Now more than ever. Once at the top of the stairs she turned to look at him. "Do you remember which way your room was located?" She asked quietly. His room, this would be the first time she'd ever see it. The first and last time.

Kaneko looked in the direction he was facing. The forbidden area, the place she had not been allowed to enter. Now she was breaking rules, she didn't want to take him there if he wouldn't be comfortable in there. Turning to face him, she looked troubled as if she were debating with herself. Regardless of where he slept, she'd have to go in there to grab his clothes. He looked troubled too. The way his head hung, his eyes lowered, he didn't want to go in there. "Allen, would you feel more comfortable sleeping in your study instead? We don't have to go in there if you do not wish to. We can hold it off for another day. We can go in there tomorrow if you wish it. But...if you wish to do so now just let me know. I just want you to be comfortable. When I first arrived here, I was told not to go that way and I don't wish to go there unless you are very certain that you are ready to go there." Kaneko realized she probably sounded like a mother talking to her child. It was unintentional, he was not a child.

Kaneko nodded even though he couldn't see her doing so. Okay, so his room was past the study. Okay, easy enough right? Right. Why was she freaking out? She was going to see a room she had never seen before, she coudln't help but be a little excited. It was like it was with anything really. Everyone either feared or became excited when it came to the unknown. It was like opening a wrapped up present that you had to hold off on for a few days. The anticipation was there. What would she see behind the closed door? Would it be a time capsule of a history long forgotten? Would there be parchment papers strewn across the floors with secrets all over them? Would she see photographs of what his life was like while he lived here? Okay, Kaneko was letting her imagination run a little wild. "R-right...okay then Allen." He voice was soft, her eyes vigilant. Her feet carefully treading the aged wooden floors. When they arrived at a closed door, she held her breath.

Her eyes widened as the door knob was turned and the door was opened, revealing a room in total chaos. Broken shards of glass were on the floor, broken lamps lay on the floor, cracked. Destroyed, unplugged. Again, Kaneko nodded, her eyes on the floor as she tiptoed around the glass to keep herself from cutting up her feet. Even if she did have socks, that wouldn't protect her from the glass sticking into her skin. So this was it. This was Allen's room... Wow! I wonder what it must have been like sleeping in here. Although...looking around it doesn't look like it was ever a happy occasion in this room. If these walls could talk, I wonder what stories they would tell. The bed itself looked comfortable though. Many questions littered her mind, but they were all locked away. She didn't want to ask questions about this. This was a part of Allen's life that he wanted to forget and she didn't want to be the one to bring it up again.
