   Summary

   Vanitas likes to test his luck against curse-bearers time and time again, book in hand and overprotective vampire by his side. This time, however, he has to wonder:

   Where is that damn vampire?

   or,

   Falling in love is rarely a straight line, and having a concussion certainly doesn't help matters.
