to be so nice to me. I don’t deserve it, really.
Hanataro: No...
Rose: No, you need to understand. I’ve been nothing but trouble, pain, and idiocy my entire life for my family. Actually I caused my father’s death. You have no reason to be this nice, kind, and polite to me.
Hanataro stares with his mouth open.
Hanataro: I had no idea.
Rose: Please, just don’t. It doesn’t matter. I just ask that you don’t coddle me.
Hanataro: I wasn’t trying to-
Rose: I know. I’m sorry for getting mad there. I just don’t like it when people are like that to me.
Hanataro: Rose! I’m not being polite, just to be formal. I am polite because I want to act like a gentleman. If I did what you said, I would be acting like a complete @$$. I’m sorry, but I can’t do what you say. Anyways, this is who I am.
A tear flows down her cheek.
Rose: I’m sorry! That was really selfish of me.
Hanataro: No!
Hanataro wraps his arms around her, trying to comfort her.
Rose blushes wildly.
The door flies open and Rangiku jumps in with a camera.
Rangiku rapidly takes pictures of Rose and Hanataro.
Rose screams.
Rangiku: This is either true love or…
Hanataro: Shut up, Rangiku.
Rose: (thinks) Yeah, sure. A gentleman.
Rangiku: Ha-ha! You’re so funny!
Rose remembers that voice faintly.
Rose: Wait! You were…
Rangiku: Yep. I was Hana.
Rose balls up her fists.
Rose: I CAN’T TAKE IT ANY MORE!
Rose runs towards Rangiku.
Rangiku tries to move out of the way, but runs into a table.
Rose grabs Rangiku’s arms, and pins them behind her back.
She holds her arms with one hand. With the other she holds her neck out.
Hanataro puts a hand on Rose’s shoulder.
Rose calms.
Rose leans down to her ear.
Rose: (whispers) If it wasn’t for Hanataro, god help me I would’ve snapped your neck right here, right now. Be thankful.
Rose releases her.
Rangiku: YOU DON’T THREATEN ME!
Rangiku slaps Rose.
Blood sprays from Rose’s mouth.
Rose falls to her knees.
Rangiku: Disrespectful scum! You should be thankful! Vampirism is a great gift. There are millions out there who would easily give their life for an opportunity like you had. Think about that, little b****
Rangiku storms out of the room.
Rose curls up into a little ball, as blood leaks out of her mouth.
Rose: (thinks) Dad, I’m scared. Daddy, help me.
Hanataro dashes into the bathroom.
Hanataro takes deep breaths.
Hanataro tears off his shirt, and runs to the shower.
He turns the water on, and jumps in, with his pants still on.
He turns it to cold.
Cold water sprays him, and he continues taking deep breaths.
LATER BEFORE DINNER
Hanataro finally cleans up and comes out of the bathroom.
Rose is sitting on the floor staring at the wall.
Hanataro: Rose, it’s time for dinner.
Rose looks up and she has tears in her eyes.
Rose: I-I’m so sorry. I’m such a @$$. You are just trying to be kind to me, and all I do is push you away!
A tear runs down her face.
Hanataro: No, Rose.
Rose: I need you to listen to me. I’m so stupid. I push away any help I can get. Then, people make sacrifices for me, and I’m just… ungrateful. I don’t deserve you to be nice to me.
Hanataro: Rose, I want to be your friend. I don’t want you to push me away, like you are now when you’re saying this. Don’t deny it. You want to be my friend.
Rose: I do. I don’t deny it, but….
Hanataro grabs her hand and pulls her up.
Hanataro: Then, if you want to be my friend, and you don’t deny it, be my friend.
Hanataro hugs Rose.
Rose lets a tear fall on his shirt.
Rose lets go.
Rose: Thanks. I guess you’re right. I better get ready.
Rose grabs her bag that was in the room and drags it to the bathroom.
Rose changes then comes out.
Hanataro: Let’s go.
Rose nods.
Rose and Hanataro leave.
AT DINNER
Rose and Hanataro sit at a large table with many people also sitting on it.
At the very end of the table, Rangiku sits sipping a red liquid out of a wine glass.
Rose turns to Hanataro.
Rose: Is everyone here…?
Hanataro: Yeah, it’s all vampires.
Rose: And that red liquid…. Is it…?
Hanataro nods.
Rose gulps.
Rangiku picks up a spoon and taps it against her wine glass.
Everyone looks at her.
Rangiku: Well, I have an announcement before we begin dinner.
Everyone looks puzzled.
Rangiku: We have a new recruit. Please give a round of applause for Rose Myers.
Rose sinks into her seat as the vampires all clap confusedly and stare at her.
Hanataro puts his hand on her arm underneath the table.
Rose grabs his arm back.
Rangiku: Also, someone left a black Toyota Corolla parked in front of the building. Please move it, so that we can get the hearses in.
Rose: (thinks) Hearses?
Rangiku: Well, dinner is served!
Servants come out with platters with lids.
The servants set one platter in front of each person.
The servants take the lids off of the platters.
On the platter lays a packet filled with blood, like in hospitals.
Rose grimaces.
Hanataro slides his hand down to hers.
Rose’s face flashes with surprise and she looks down to avoid from being seen blushing.
Rose glances over at Hanataro.
Hanataro: (whispers) I don’t think Rangiku will let you leave grounds, but I’m allowed to leave temporarily. I can get you some real food, if you want.
Rose: (whispers) Thank you. I would appreciate that.
Hanataro nods.
A woman sitting on Rose’s other side sneers at her.
Woman: Why don’t you eat?
Rose: I-I’m not hungry…
Woman: That’s stupid, all vampires are always hungry! I bet you aren’t even a real vampire! I should erase your pointless existence, by snapping your neck right here right now!
Hanataro leans over Rose and gets in the woman’s face.
Hanataro: You should leave her alone Washira. She’s a new vampire. She doesn’t want any food now.
Washira: (woman) Humph...
Hanataro gets closer and bares his fangs at her.
Washira backs off.
Hanataro leans back to his normal place.
Rose grips his hand harder.
AFTER DINNER
Rose and Hanataro go back to the room.
Rose opens the door.
The two beds are gone, and there is a queen size bed there instead.
Rose: Seriously?
Hanataro: Rangiku’s going to do this until she feels she got her revenge for when you beat her.
Rose sighs.
Hanataro grabs his keys and hovers by the door.
Rose sits on the bed.
Hanataro: I…. uh… will be back later.
Rose: Thank you again.
Hanataro: No problem.
He leaves.
Rose flops back on the bed.
Rose: I’m so confused right now.
Rose lays there for a moment, and then sits up.
She pushes her hair to one side and stands.
She goes to the bathroom and changes into some pajamas.
Rose comes back out and lies on the couch.
Rose falls asleep.
ROSE’S DREAM
Rose is in the white room.
The mangled bodies are in the corner.
Rose turns around and Hanataro is standing behind her.
He smiles evilly and flashes his fangs at her.
Rose opens her mouth but no sound comes out.
Hanataro steps forward.
Rose wakes up to Hanataro shaking her.
Her eyes snap open and Hanataro jumps across the room.
Rose blinks, and he comes back over.
Hanataro: Your eyes. They-They were different colors. Ice blue and Blood red.
Rose: I’m sorry… did I fall asleep? What time is it?
Hanataro: Its only midnight. Vampires are supposed to stay up, so you will have to adjust your schedule.
Hanataro hands her a bag.
Hanataro: I didn’t know what you liked so I just got you a sandwich.
Rose: Thank you so much!
Rose takes the bag and pulls a sandwich out of it.
Rose takes an eager bite into the sandwich.
Rose eats the sandwich.
Hanataro: I know that I said you should switch your sleeping times around, but you need some sleep.
Rose yawns.
Rose: Okay.
Hanataro: You can have the bed.
Rose: Wait, there’s only the couch left I can’t let you do that!
Hanataro: Its either that or, having Rangiku giving us a rude awakening with a camera.
Rose: I can sleep on the couch!
Hanataro: No, Rose just sleep in the bed. I’ll find some way to have this bed moved by tomorrow.
Rose gives up and sleeps on the bed.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Rose wakes up and finds Hanataro’s arms wrapped around her.
Rose blushes wildly.
Rose looks in a mirror across the room and sees that he’s awake.
Rose moves closer into his arms and falls asleep again.
Hanataro smiles and lays his head on a pillow.
Episode 5

Rose wakes up and sees Hanataro asleep beside her.
Rose blushes and crawls out of the bed.
Rose sees a clock.
The clock reads 10:00AM.
Rose: I should go back to sleep, but I can’t.
Rose goes to the bathroom and takes a shower.
She changes into a black corset, a black mini skirt and combat boots.
Rose pulls her hair down, and it flows down her back.
Rose notices her hair has turned completely black.
Rose sighs and comes out of the bathroom.
Hanataro is sitting on the couch.
Hanataro jumps when he sees her.
Rose: Hi.
Hanataro: Hey.
Hanataro pats the spot next to him on the couch.
Hanataro: Come here. I have something to show you.
Rose comes over and sits beside Hanataro.
Hanataro opens a laptop.
He types a website into an address bar.
A gossip site pops up.
Rose: What’s this?
Hanataro: One second….
Hanataro clicks on a story.
A picture of Rose and Hanataro hugging pops up.
Rose: What the?
Hanataro: Read the article.
Article:
Emma Black was spotted hugging a mysterious boy at this training center in Japan. The source of this picture was anonymous, but the source says, “I just walked into the room with a camera and apparently something serious was going on, so I just took pictures because after all that was Emma Black!!!!” Now, many fans are already on their way to Japan to find Emma Black, and get that lifelong wanted autograph they wanted.
Rose: They never let go…
Hanataro: Rose, what’s going on?
Rose: Well before I explain that, I want to know why you were on a gossip site in the first place.
Hanataro: Rangiku sent me the link.
Rose: Oh ok. The truth is… when I was a child I was a professional singer and I had a lot of fans. Now that I grew up, not as many people want to listen to me. Still though, there are like thousands of fan boys who want to do me. It’s really stupid, and I just want a normal life. I guess that’s impossible now.
Hanataro: Oh. You know, if you wanted, we could escape here, and have a normal life.
