Maki....
Her name was repetitive in my mind as I was still heading towards Ai-chan's residence. Looking down at the folder in my hands, I took a deep breath before looking up at the sky. It was brighter, but the sun didn't rise yet. I quickened my pace before, so why am I not doing it now? It's all because of her, Maki. I remember her, my past trainer. She taught me the good and bad things of being a messenger. And the position she's in right now is amazing. I've had feelings for her in the past, but now...I don't know. My heartbeat quickened for the billionth time, I stopped walking. "Maki..." The name escaped my lips. "Goto-san..." I smiled.
"Yes?" I paused, my train of thought was interrupted. I looked in all directions, but no one was here. Strangely, the voice sounded like Maki. "I must be thinking things." I whispered to myself, continuing towards my destination. I could hear footsteps near me, so I started walking faster. "Reina? Is that you?" The same, familiar voice asked me. I stopped in my tracks and looked up, I didn't even know I was looking down the entire time.
It's her...
"Nice to finally see you Reina." Maki greeted, baring her fangs. I could feel my cheeks burning. "Nice to see you again...Maki." I hesitated. "So, how are you doing?" Maki walked with me, looking at the folder. "Oh, so you have the Takahashi-Kamei case going on." "Um...yeah." I stammered.
"Why are you so quiet?" Maki looked at me with a concerned expression. "You talk a lot, I missed that about you." I stared into her eyes, not saying anything. I still held on to the folder tightly, which was a surprise. "Maki-"
"We've been distant," Maki interrupted me before I finished. "I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, and I'm happy to finally-" "I'm glad to see you too." I walked closer to her, our bodies touched. A gasp came from the both of us, my cheeks were turning crimson.
All of a sudden, Maki's lips collided with mine. I didn't expect it, but I liked it. I don't know why she did it though. "What I'm trying to say is, I've loved you for a long time Reina." Maki was unpredictable at times. My throat became dry, and I looked at the folder. Strange, I'm still holding this? I thought I was going to croak when I said these words, but I didn't. I looked into Maki's eyes and whispered,
"I love you too, Maki."
************************************************************************
The sun peeked out from the clouds, bringing in sunshine. Well, since I was caught outside after 9 PM, my parents allowed me to going on my date with Sayu. But I had to come back after I took her home.
My phone vibrated, and I picked it up. Checking the caller ID, I noticed that it was LinLin. What could she be calling me for? "Hello?" I mumbled, getting up from my bed and picking out an outfit for the date. "Koha, you have to come over to my house, it's important."
"Important? How important?" I asked quickly, getting a towel. "Just come over to my house." My eyes were big. "What time?" "How about...1 PM?" I looked at my alarm clock. It was 12 PM. "Okay, I'll be there." I replied, and I hung up.
I took my shower quickly and put on my clothes. I put my phone in my purse and ran downstairs. "Koharu, where are you going?" My father stood up, giving me a mean look. "I'm going to LinLin's house," I answered. "She needs help on something." That was a lie, but a good one! "But, you're not going to eat?" My mother was concerned. "No, I'm going to eat over at her house, bye!" I closed the door and headed to my destination.
I knocked on the door, and she opened it, greeting me. "Hello Koha." "Hi LinLin, um...so what is it?" I bowed, curious to know why she wanted me to come over to her house. LinLin took a few deep breaths to tell me. "Um..I have a date in two hours." I got up and walked to the door.
"I met someone." A smirk was plastered on my face when I heard LinLin say those words. "So, what's her name?" "Well, she saved me." Eh? What? "Save you from, what exactly?" I'm interested now. "From being killed by a creepy vampire." And she sounds serious too.
This must be the weirdest day of my life.

Rondo (Chapter Thirteen: Atmosphere)
"You look tired Reina, something on your mind?" Risa asked me, concerned. Well, of course something's on my mind. I've been sitting down like this for how long? And also, I have to face Yossie and Miki. Yes, them. "Um, Reina? Reina..." Risa kept shaking me until I had her full attention. She's going to give me a headache if she keeps doing that to me. "What?" I muttered under my breath. I was a little dizzy, and I made a mental note to myself:
Pay attention to Risa, or you will get dizzy.
Ai-chan's voice interrupted my thoughts. "Can you guys shush? My parents would kill me if they see you two here." She threw a pillow at us, and she laid back down. She was quiet the entire time we were here. "Well, is something on your mind Ai-chan?" I asked, throwing the pillow back at her. "I feel a little weak." she replied, putting the pillow to the side. Oh yeah, how could I forget?
I opened the window and climbed out. But before I closed the window, I asked, "Are you going to take care of her Risa?" "Yes, yes, Reina." Risa replied, stroking Ai-chan's hair. "Okay." I closed the window and jumped off of the tree branch.
The scenery wasn't pretty. The grass was damp, the streets were slippery, but at least the sidewalk was fine. Being the messenger sucks. I'm not late for anything when I have meetings with Yossie and Miki. They're always too busy whenever I arrive on time.
The black hue in the sky suddenly turned to a dark blue color. Okay, so maybe I am arrive a little later than usual, but Yossie and Miki won't mind it, right?" Trying not to panic, I started to take deep breaths. This was kind of helping until I got to the building. I took my last deep breath and went inside.
This time I didn't even bother asking for Yossie and Miki. The only thing I was focusing on was their office. I opened the door, seeing the two shuffling through papers and stuff and then looking up at me. "Tanaka," Yossie glared at me, her tone was loud. "Reina." Miki greeted, groping me. Crap, I'm going to be yelled at and I've been Miki'd. "Hi to the both of you?" I put on an innocent smile, trying to lighten the office since the atmosphere was a little awkward and dark.
"Anyway," Yossie shook her head, pointing to the seat across from her. I sat down in it, gluping. She can be scary at times, and you don't want to be scared of her. "Has Eri been fully recovered again?" "Yes she has," I replied, nodding. "She doesn't really remember a thing expect that she knows about us being vampires." Yossie and Miki looked down at a folder that was filled with information. "You do know that tracker demons tend to pick up more than that, right?" Miki asked me, sliding the folder on the table from their side to my side. "No, I didn't know that." I shook my head, reading carefully.
Name: Kamei Eri
Date of Birth: December 23, 1988
Bloodtype: AB
Class: Human
Aquantinces: Michishige Sayumi, born July 13, 1989, Class: Human; Takahashi Ai, born September 14, 1986, Class: Vampire.
10 PM: Kamei, possessed, was walking in the street toward the Takahashi residence until she noticed Takahashi, who was walking outside also. They bumped into each other, and then Kamei text Michishige on her cellphone, to which Michishige didn't reply. Kamei then called.....
"Where did you guys get this information?" I asked, curious. "Do you remember your past trainer?" My eyes stopped in their tracks as I tried to think of my trainer. I looked at Yossie and Miki, shocked. "Goto...Maki?" I managed to finally say her name. She tracks down all the information about these tracker demons now? I thought she was training another vampire! "Yep, she seems to have progressed as the messenger." Yossie smiled. Miki rolled her eyes, and muttered under her breath, "Whatever." "So Maki got all this information, but how?" Again, I'm always curious as to how things work around here. "You'll see when you get to be in her position." Miki replied. She was already getting sick of my curiousity. Why do humans say, 'Curiousity kills the cat'?
"Keep the information," Yossie returned the folder. "Niigaki and Takahashi need to know about this too." "Yes." I held the folder in my arms tightly, making sure that nothing falls out of it. "It's nice seeing you again, Reina." Miki emphasized my name before groping me. My eyes went big, and I turned around. Crap, I've been Miki'd again. Oh well, I'll live.
When I got outside, the sky was a little brighter. I quickened my pace, clutching the folder to my chest. If all of the contents fell out, I would be dead by Risa's Reaction Queen moments, and I don't want that.
But I have an odd feeling, that this isn't the last time we will see this tracker demon.
************************************************************************
Eh? Why am I up so early? I don't want to wake up early, I want to crawl back in my shell. I pulled the covers over my head to try to go to sleep but I couldn't. I slowly got up, my head spinning in the process. I decided to call Sayu, since she's already hyper in the morning. "Sayu?" I asked when she mumbled an odd greeting. "Do you want to go somewhere?" On her line, I could tell that her voice was breaking while hesitating to answer. "I-I have a date." "With who?" I smirked. I can't believe Sayu has a date. "K-Koharu," Sayu whispered nervously. "Listen Eri, I have to go." Her voice wobbled before hanging up.
"Aw, this sucks." I pouted. Then I guess I have nothing to do today but go shopping. No, that's a good idea! I do need some clothes. "Yes!" I muttered to myself, picking out an outfit and getting dressed. I went downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Eri, hello, are you okay?" My mom greeted me, walking me over to the table. It took me a while to respond. "Oh, yeah, I'm doing alright, I think I'm going to do some shopping today." "Good idea." My father murmured from behind the newspaper that was covering his face. "Just make sure you don't spend too much money on that credit card." My mom warned, pointing at the item I was holding in my hand. I looked down, and quickly put it in my wallet. "Don't worry, I won't spend too much." I laughed, eating my cereal.
After all, I do have a day to myself, but I'm wondering why Sayu is scared. I think I'll talk to her about it later.
Pay attention to Risa, or you will get dizzy.
Ai-chan's voice interrupted my thoughts. "Can you guys shush? My parents would kill me if they see you two here." She threw a pillow at us, and she laid back down. She was quiet the entire time we were here. "Well, is something on your mind Ai-chan?" I asked, throwing the pillow back at her. "I feel a little weak." she replied, putting the pillow to the side. Oh yeah, how could I forget?

Rondo (Chapter Twelve: Aftershock)
*****************************************************************************************************
"So, JunJun..." I smirked before asking my trainer a question. "What?" JunJun replied, not looking up from the damp grass. "That human girl-" "Her name is LinLin." JunJun interrupted before I could say her name. The tone in her voice went from serious to defensive. Aw, she's standing up for LinLin, how cute. "You like her, don't you?" I blurted, bursting out into laughter.
"No." JunJun mumbled quickly, twirling a piece of her hair. Even though it was dark outside, I could tell that she was blushing. Wow, she's so obvious. "You are such a liar JunJun." I teased, sticking my tongue out. JunJun didn't reply. Instead, she stood still like a statue. After a while she admitted, "Okay, maybe I do, but she was getting attacked by another vampire!" I shook my head. Well, that was all the evidence I needed, but maybe? "Sure." I nodded.
I perused the area, and there were clusters of buildings right in front of us. We had to find a way out. "Where are we?" I asked the first thing that came to my mind. My heartbeat was increasing. "I don't know." JunJun silently replied. "You mean to tell me," I decided to recap. "We ran all the way out here, and now we are lost?" "I guess so." JunJun scanned the area, and she ran off. I might as well follow her.
"JunJun!" I shouted, following her. Gosh, running down these sidewalks are starting to hurt my legs. Didn't I already have enough training? We ran all sorts of directions, I couldn't keep up because my mind was going insane.
Finally, we made it back to the usual, empty-filled streets. The roads were slippery and wet. Of course, because it just rained. After taking a moment to breathe regularly again, I teased JunJun one more time, "You sure you don't like her?" "Aika, I like her okay?" JunJun took a deep breath. Duh, you thought I just realized that?
"I knew it." I laughed, leaning against one building. "Hey, what time is it?" "Probably midnight." JunJun replied, shrugging her shoulders. "We should take a break from training." I suggested. "Yeah, we should." JunJun stood next to me. I wanted to tease her again, but I didn't feel like it, not right now at least.
It's rare for a vampire to have a crush on a human. I hope this doesn't harm JunJun in any way.
**************************************************************************************************
My phone vibrated on my nightstand, waking me up with a tiny yelp. My eyes went to the bright alarm clock. It was 2 AM. Seriously, who could be calling me at this time? I picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. Eh? Sayu? I flipped open the phone immediately and sat up in my bed.
"Sayu? Something wrong?" I was a little groggy and tired, but heck, that just woke me up. "Eri...Eri..." Sayu repeated nervously. Oh my god, did Eri do something to her? "Sayu, what's the problem? Are you okay?" I tried to calm myself down, but it wasn't working since my body started shaking. "I-I'm fine..." Sayu's voice was soft. "You don't sound like it." I was worried. I got out of my bed and got a T-shirt and jeans. "Koha, I'm scared.." Sayu burst into tears over the phone. I knew Eri was her best friend, but..I don't think she would hurt Sayu. "Where are you?" "I'm at the park." The park? She must be very upset.
"I'll be right there." I hung up the phone before hearing Sayu's response. I threw it onto the bed and slipped out of my nightgown and put on my jeans and T-shirt. I put my phone in my jeans pocket. I can't leave the house without it. What if Sayu calls me again?
I snuck past my parent's room, making sure not to make any noise. The stairs creaked a little the moment I walked down them. My eyes were closing each time it creaked, but luckily my parent's didn't wake up. I opened the door and closed it quietly behind me. By that time, I made a run for it.
Thank goodness the park wasn't far away from my house. But why is Sayu still out there at 1 AM? She should be at home sleeping peacefully. I shook my head of all these thoughts. Something's troubling her, and I need to know what it is.
"Sayu?" I asked once I got to the park. There was no sign of her. "I'm right here." I turned around, and I jumped. Thank goodness it was Sayu. "You scared the crap out of me!" I shrieked a little, my voice squeaking in the process. It took me a second to observe Sayu. Her clothes weren't messed up, which was a relief. Her face was tear-streaked. "What happened?" I pulled her into a hug, and she told me everything that happened.
I was stiff after hearing Sayu's explanation. It was silent, and all you could hear were the owls hooting in the early morning. "Sounds like Eri was possessed," I looked at Sayu. "I'm glad she didn't hurt you." Sayu pulled me closer. We were in this embrace for a long time, until I pulled away. "I'm going to go home you do the same okay?" I kissed her before we waved goodbye to each other. "I'll see you at 3 PM!" I shouted, hoping that she wouldn't forget our date.
I got to my house safely, but the lights were turned on, and my father gave me a stern look. "Kusumi Koharu, you are in big trouble."
Crap.
"So, JunJun..." I smirked before asking my trainer a question. "What?" JunJun replied, not looking up from the damp grass. "That human girl-" "Her name is LinLin." JunJun interrupted before I could say her name. The tone in her voice went from serious to defensive. Aw, she's standing up for LinLin, how cute. "You like her, don't you?"

Rondo (Chapter Eleven: Cosmos)
"Risa, get Ai-chan out of here. Now." Reina instructed, pointing to us. I took Ai-chan's hand, helping her up. God, why did I go to sleep? It's all my fault. I'm going to kill Eri for what she did to her! But Reina has all that covered. Something's wrong with Eri, I must ask Yossie and Miki about this girl.
"I'm sorry this happened Ai-chan," I held her closer to me as I went a different direction. "We are going to the hideout." "W-what?" Ai-chan asked in shock, looking up at me. I couldn't look down at her. She was shaking so badly and she was so weak that she couldn't stand up on her own two feet.
We got to the hideout, and I asked for Miki and Yossie. "In there." The girl told us in her dry voice. While we were walking to their office, the girl asked, "What's up with her?" "None of your business." I rpelied, baring my sharp fangs. People need to mind their own business.
"Yossie? Miki?" I called, looking around. "Niigaki...Takahashi?" Yossie greeted us with concern. "Yeah, it's just the two of us this time." My cheeks flushed. "That's okay, but..Takahashi, why does look like this?" Eh? Is this coming from Miki? Or does she want to grope her again? She better not do that. "It's that Eri girl." I replied angrily, glaring at Miki and folding my arms. "Eri? Kamei Eri..." Yossie left the office, leaving Miki confused and she followed her shortly after. I rubbed Ai-chan's back, trying to make her feel better. Ever since we got in the building, she has stopped shaking, but she was still weak, and she didn't let go of me.
"Ah, Kamei Eri," Yossie came back in the office, Miki was behind her. "Born December 23rd, am I correct?" Ai-chan nodded in reply. "Well, um, how long have you guys been friends Takahashi?" Yossie questioned, her expression was unreadable. "We've been friends since we were little." Ai-chan replied, thinking for a moment. "Mhm..." Yossie observed. "Well, er-Eri is not who you think she is." Duh, why are we here now? "Then...what is she?" Ai-chan asked, her voice filled with curiousity.
"Eri is being possessed by tracker demon." Miki answered, looking down at the ground. WHAT? This isn't good, oh this is not good. I'm going to go ballistic now. "Are you serious?" Ai-chan was shocked, I don't blame her. "USO!" I finally shouted, Miki covering her ears at my Reaction Queen outburst. "No wonder her blood smelled so rich." Ai-chan muttered, shuddering. "But, what are tracker demons?"
"Tracker demons are evil to vampires," Yossie explained. "They possess human's bodies to hunt after vampires in order to 'get to know them better'." So this spirit has been possessing Eri the entire time. I tried to control my anger, clenching my fists tightly. "But they really want to make them become weak and put them in poor condition." "And while the vampire becomes weak, the tracker demon keeps taunting them or touching them until they die." Ai-chan shook her head, angry tears clouded her eyes. Heck, I was upset too.
"So, what do we do?" Ai-chan asked, her eyes were sparkling. "You're going to have to suck Eri's blood, even if it does make you weak." "Will this make her unconscious?" I asked. "Only when the demon leaves her body and vanishes," Yossie replied. "Then Eri will wake up and not remember anything that happened when she was possessed." Ai-chan's eyes grew wider.
"Where's Tanaka?" Miki asked, changing the subject immediately. "She's fighting Eri." I replied. "Get back out there, she could get killed herself." Yossie demanded, and Ai-chan and I ran outside in the cold rain.

"Okay, now we can solve this one way or the other: Fight or....what the heck." My long nails scraped Eri's arm, leaving blood oozing from her arm and dripping onto the cold, hard pavement. "That's all you can say to me?" Eri laughed, pushing me onto the pavement. I was getting dizzy, and my body became weak. I was speechless.
"Let go of her Eri!" A voice shouted not to far away from us. I looked up and noticed that it was that Sayu girl. Holy crap, I forgot she was a bystander.
Eri ignored her, her hands were on my shoulders, making me become weaker. That did it, I had to get this girl off of me. With all of my strength, I scratched her left cheek, and she climbed off of me. She touched her cheek, growling in anger. She charged at me with full speed, but I simply dodged and she fell. If Risa didn't teach me these moves, I would have been dead right now.
I grabbed the collor of her shirt, and my fist came in contact with her other cheek. I didn't punch her that hard though. I looked over at the bystander, Sayu, right. Why do I keep forgetting her name. "Go home." I instructed, pointing to her. Sayu nodded, and she ran home.
Eri glared at me, trying to pull my hand away from her collar. My arm was shaking due to her touch and the rain, so I dropped her, and she landed on the ground. "You vampires, you are so dead." she struggled to get up. Wait, she's a...."You're a tracker demon?" I blurted. "Yeah." Eri replied, her eyes narrowing.
"I'll handle her Reina." I turned around, Ai-chan right behind me. What is she doing? She's suppossed to be at home. I moved out of the way, and I stood next to Risa. "What is she-" "Just watch." Risa interrupted, smirking.
"Ai-chan," Eri smiled devilishly as Ai-chan approached her. She titled Eri's head to the side. "W-What are you doing?" Eri's voice was alarming. Ai-chan sucked Eri's blood. Oh my god.
"HOLY CRAP THAT'S THE SOLUTION?!?" I shouted before covering my mouth. "Yes, Yossie told Ai-chan about the tracker demons." Risa replied, witnessing the scene. They went to the hideout instead of home? Dang it, I'm going to be Miki'd.
Eri was unconscious for a while. The rain stopped pouring, and it was a clear night. The demon left her body and vanished, and Eri's eyes were fluttering open. "Eh?" she rubbed her neck with one hand and touched her cheek on the other. "Ai-chan?" she whispered, confused. "I'm right here Eri." Ai-chan smiled, helping Eri up. "What happened to me?" "You tripped and fell." Ai-chan let out a nervous laugh. "Fangs...you're a vampire?" Eri laughed. Ai-chan nodded. "Oh yeah..I forgot that you were a vampire." She pointed to us. "And you guys are.." "Her trainers." I replied quickly. "You should go home now," I warned. "Your parents are probably not happy about you being out this long." Eri nodded, and she walked home.
"We should get going too you lovebirds." I teased, laughing as Ai-chan and Risa bopped my head. "Shorty." They teased at the same time. "EH?!? I'm not a shorty!" I folded my arms and pouted. "Think you can make it in Ai-chan?" "Yeah, I'm going to be fine." Ai-chan waved her hand dismissively, and opened the front door. I opened the window and got inside Ai-chan's room with Risa following me and closing it behind her.
I want to go back to sleep now.
"I'm sorry this happened Ai-chan," I held her closer to me as I went a different direction. "We are going to the hideout." "W-what?" Ai-chan asked in shock, looking up at me. I couldn't look down at her. She was shaking so badly and she was so weak that she couldn't stand up on her own two feet.
We got to the hideout, and I asked for Miki and Yossie. "In there." The girl told us in her dry voice. While we were walking to their office, the girl asked, "What's up with her?" "None of your business." I rpelied, baring my sharp fangs. People need to mind their own business.
"Yossie? Miki?" I called, looking around. "Niigaki...Takahashi?" Yossie greeted us with concern. "Yeah, it's just the two of us this time." My cheeks flushed. "That's okay, but..Takahashi, why does look like this?" Eh? Is this coming from Miki? Or does she want to grope her again? She better not do that. "It's that Eri girl." I replied angrily, glaring at Miki and folding my arms. "Eri? Kamei Eri..." Yossie left the office, leaving Miki confused and she followed her shortly after. I rubbed Ai-chan's back, trying to make her feel better. Ever since we got in the building, she has stopped shaking, but she was still weak, and she didn't let go of me.
"Ah, Kamei Eri," Yossie came back in the office, Miki was behind her. "Born December 23rd, am I correct?" Ai-chan nodded in reply. "Well, um, how long have you guys been friends Takahashi?" Yossie questioned, her expression was unreadable. "We've been friends since we were little." Ai-chan replied, thinking for a moment. "Mhm..." Yossie observed. "Well, er-Eri is not who you think she is." Duh, why are we here now? "Then...what is she?" Ai-chan asked, her voice filled with curiousity.
"Eri is being possessed by tracker demon." Miki answered, looking down at the ground. WHAT? This isn't good, oh this is not good. I'm going to go ballistic now. "Are you serious?" Ai-chan was shocked, I don't blame her. "USO!" I finally shouted, Miki covering her ears at my Reaction Queen outburst. "No wonder her blood smelled so rich." Ai-chan muttered, shuddering. "But, what are tracker demons?"
"Tracker demons are evil to vampires," Yossie explained. "They possess human's bodies to hunt after vampires in order to 'get to know them better'." So this spirit has been possessing Eri the entire time. I tried to control my anger, clenching my fists tightly. "But they really want to make them become weak and put them in poor condition." "And while the vampire becomes weak, the tracker demon keeps taunting them or touching them until they die." Ai-chan shook her head, angry tears clouded her eyes. Heck, I was upset too.
"So, what do we do?" Ai-chan asked, her eyes were sparkling. "You're going to have to suck Eri's blood, even if it does make you weak." "Will this make her unconscious?" I asked. "Only when the demon leaves her body and vanishes," Yossie replied. "Then Eri will wake up and not remember anything that happened when she was possessed." Ai-chan's eyes grew wider.
"Where's Tanaka?" Miki asked, changing the subject immediately. "She's fighting Eri." I replied. "Get back out there, she could get killed herself." Yossie demanded, and Ai-chan and I ran outside in the cold rain.

I want to go back to sleep now.

Rondo (Chapter Ten: Mirror)
I fiddled with my hair, looking at my reflection in the mirror. "You are cute Sayu." I repeated to myself, making an expression. I smiled, setting the mirror down and walking over to my bunny nightstand where my pretty pink phone lies. I grabbed it, and I noticed that I had two text messages. One was from Koharu, the other was from Eri. I wasn't surprised, but I started spacing out like Eri for a moment. I clicked on Koharu's message.
Hey Sayu,
Um..well, now that we are together...um..I was wondering...if we can go out sometime? Like maybe..Saturday? I can come over to your house at 3 pm? I hope you don't have anything to do.
Love, Koharu
The heat in my cheeks increased as I grinned. Since today was Friday, I was fine with going on a date with Koharu. "Oh crap, I need to find an outfit!" I muttered, running to my closet and opening the door. After twenty minutes, I picked out a bunny shirt, jeans, and bunny sneakers. The accessories, I will pick those out tomorrow.
Wait, didn't I have another message? I went back to the nightstand and picked up the phone. Oh yeah, another message from Eri. Did I mention that I wasn't surprised? She's probably bored, as usual.
Hey Sayu,
Come outside. Now. I mean it. I found Ai-chan.
Bye.
Eri
It's raining out there! Seriously, I don't want my hair to be messed up! I want to be cute! Eri, why do you make me do these things? Especially when it's raining? She should know this by now!
No. Calm down. Get some rest. Eri is fine. She can handle this by herself. I placed the phone back on the nightstand and went over to my bed. Pink sheets with a bunny blanket. Too bad I didn't get pink pillowcases for my pillows. Oh well.
I snuggled under the covers, closing my eyes. Ah, it feels so good to be in the comfort of my own bed. Now I can dream about my date with Koharu! Also, I can dream about how cute I am!
Silence. Well, except for the rain. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. My eyes were shut tight. My body was fidgeting. The rain was harder, and then thunder burst in the scene. My body jerked at the sound of the thunder. My cellphone rang. I grabbed the phone and answered it, not even looking at the Caller ID.
"You're not coming?" My eyes widened at the voice. She sounded so different, my throat was getting dry. "E-Eri?" I whispered, my voice cracking in response. "So, are you going to come or what? I've got Ai-chan." Why is she doing this crap? I don't want her to interfere, but it is too late. "I'll be right there, don't do anything." I hung up, and I went to the closet again to find an outfit. This time I chose blue shorts and a pink T-shirt.
I snuck past my parents' room and went downstairs. I unlocked the door, closing it quietly. After that, I ran outside. Usually, I would meet up with Eri at the park, but she's probably near Ai-chan's house. I should go over there first. But wait...
HOLY CRAP I FORGOT TO BRING AN UMBRELLA!
Dang Eri, why did you make me come out here in the first place? You just had to know about her didn't you?
My thoughts were interrupted when I saw Eri grabbing Ai-chan by the shoulders. Thunder roared and lighting flashed afterward. "NO!" I shouted. Eri turned around and smiled...in a devilish way. "Finally." She walked over to me, dropping Ai-chan in the process. Ai-chan was shaking, and her body was so weak. "Why are you soaking wet?" Eri asked me, looking confused. Now she wants to play the innocent role. "I thought you were Ai-chan's best friend." I changed the subject immediately, crossing my arms and pouting.
Ai-chan got up quickly, still shaking from the rain. She gave me a frightened look. Eri spun around and shouted, "I'm not letting you go anywhere!" Thunder and lightning strolled in after her outburst. What's up with Eri? I've never seen or heard her act like this before. She looked back at me and replied, "Best friend? Yeah I was her best friend, but there is more to that girl than I thought."
I couldn't say anything, I was in complete and utter shock.
**************************************************************************************************
I was wide awake, my eyes scanning the room. "Rain, how interesting." I mumbled, staring outside the window. Risa was still asleep, but..Ai-chan! Where is she? There was note. I ran over to the table and picked it up.
Gone out
-Ai
I crumbled the paper into a ball. I went over to Risa and started shaking her. "WHAT?!?" Her shout was a Reaction Queen shout. "We need to leave." I warned. "Why?" "Ai-chan's out." She didn't say anything, running over to the window, opening it. I followed after her, climbing out and closing the window behind me.
We ran down the street. I was hoping that nothing bad would happen to Ai-chan. I know Risa would be upset, she's in love with that girl.
We caught up to a shaking Ai-chan standing in the middle of the street. Risa pulled her over to the sidewalk and hugged her, while Ai-chan was holding onto her for dear life. Okay that's it, something's wrong with that Eri girl. I knew it from the start that she's been acting weird lately.
"You." My voice boomed, a flash of lightning appeared behind me. Eri giggled and assumed, "You must be one of Ai-chan's protectors." "No, I am one of her trainers." I corrected, rolling my eyes.
"What did you do to her Eri?!?" Risa cried, angry tears strolling down her face. Dang, that devilish smile appearing on Eri's face again? That's not going to fool me. I know better than that.
But this girl is seriously insane! One minute she's nice, the next she's gone crazy!
"Listen, if you don't tell what the heck is your problem, you are going to pay." I snarled, baring my sharp fangs. She backed away. "I'm not telling you." she snickered, smiling again.
Oh that was it, all hell is going to break loose now.
Hey Sayu,
Um..well, now that we are together...um..I was wondering...if we can go out sometime? Like maybe..Saturday? I can come over to your house at 3 pm? I hope you don't have anything to do.

Rondo (Chapter Nine: Rainfall)
The sound of raindrops hit the window like bullets. It was nighttime, which is not a good time to be out.
Koharu waved goodbye to me a few hours ago, or else she would have to walk home alone in the rain. I don't blame her, I would go home the moment I heard thunder and lighting.
"LinLin?" I looked up from my Chinese dinner to my parents. The expressions painted on their faces were a look of worry. "You haven't touched your food." My father said sternly. "Is something wrong?" my mother asked with concern. "Um, no." I lied, my body was weak at this point. I've never lied to my parents before. "Are you sure? You can talk to us about anything." I ate my rice, shaking my head in reply. Anything? They must be crazy. "So nothing's on your mind?" My father asked. I didn't bother to look up, but I replied, "Nothing's on my mind." Being the fast eater in my family, I grabbed my plate and put it in the sink.
"I'm going outside." I walked over to the coat rack, getting an odd reaction from my parents. "Be safe, sweetie." I knew that was all my mother could say at the moment. She closed the door behind me, and I put on my coat.
I pulled the hood over my head to prevent my hair from getting wet, or even worse, getting damp. If my hair got wet, I would become the "Reaction Princess" when I get home. Nobody wants to see me like that.
Well, I knew it was raining outside, but I didn't expect it to be pouring! Great, now my hair is going to be wet! This sucks!
Wait, shouldn't my mind be on this vampire thing that Ai-chan has? I don't really believe in vampires...yet. It's not true, it can't be true. There's no way it's true. It can't be right.
Having no clue where I was going, I stopped in my tracks. I knew that I was on a sidewalk, it's raining, and it's dark out!
HOW AM I GOING TO GET HOME?!?
I could hear heavy breathing behind me, someone's hands were on my shoulders. Don't panic LinLin, don't panic. "Looks like I have another victim." Victim? What is this creepy guy talking about. "Fresh blood." THIS GUY'S A CREEPY VAMPIRE?!? Okay, it's time to act now!
I tried to get out of his grip, but the more I kept moving, his grasp on me became tighter. His teeth started sinking into my flesh. I don't want to be unconscious! His teeth started sinking further. I heard footsteps coming our way, and someone shouted, "LET GO OF HER!"
The creepy vampire dude let me go, but I fell face forward in the murky water puddle, both my hood and my hair wet. He is going to pay for this. He ran off, and I started shaking. Like I said before, it was pouring outside.
"Hey, are you okay?" the voice sounded like a girl. My eyes darted to the girl immediately. Her eyes were shining, and her smile was bright. There was something different about her smile though. Wait a minute...are those fangs?!? I started panicking, having a Reaction Princess moment. As if she were reading my mind, she let out a giggle and said, "Don't be afraid of me, I'm not harmful, you're lucky I saved you." I was stunned, I couldn't say anything due to my throat being dry. "Uh..thank you very much, my name is LinLin."
THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY?!? I could burst at any minute. My cheeks reddened at my lame introduction and that smile that this vampire had. She's so cute...Ugh! LinLin stop it! "My name is JunJun." the vampire introduced helping me up. My body shivered a little.
"I don't want to see you hurt again." JunJun kissed my forehead before leaving me. If the sun was out, JunJun would see my crimson face. Thank goodness it was dark. "Let's go Aika!" she called. A girl with short, brown-or black, I couldn't tell-hair jumped from out of nowhere and landed beside JunJun. "Good job!" JunJun exclaimed, giving her a high-five. She must be one of those trainers.
Before the pair ran off, JunJun looked back at me and shouted, "If you get hurt again, I'm going to be there for you!" She dashed off across the empty street, disappearing before my eyes.
I didn't care about my soaked hair anymore. Instead, I tried finding my way home by searching for signs.
Eventually, I found my way home. I arrived late, but there was no response from my parents since they were asleep. I dried my hair before changing into my night clothes, and I went straight to sleep.
That night, I couldn't help but dream about JunJun and the vampire that tried to attack me.
************************************************************************
My eyes opened, seeing the window filled with raindrops. Oh wow, nighttime. I guess I slept through the afternoon. Wait a minute, I did sleep through the afternoon! Darn.
Risa's arm was around my waist, my cheeks burning up at her touch. Reina was fast asleep in my chair; the sun did make her drowsy after all. I thought that this would be a good time to have some alone time to myself and thinking things over.
I carefully took Risa's arm off of my waist, I got out of my bed, and wrote the girls a quick note. I hope this would make sense.
Gone out.
-Ai
I took my raincoat and went down the stairs. "Are you going to get something to eat Ai?" MY father asked me when I turned the doorknob. "YeahsureIwillloveyouDad, bye!" I replied all in one breath, closing the door.
I ran down the street, bumping into something, or someone. I almost fell, but I caught myself.
"Ai-chan, there you are." A girl spoke. It sounded like Eri, but she looked so different. Her eyes were beady, and that turtle-like smile she had, turned into a devilish one in seconds. What is wrong with her?
It's like she's possessed.
"I've been wanting to know more about you." She started walking closer to me. I walked back, trying to avoid her.
WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS GIRL?!?
Koharu waved goodbye to me a few hours ago, or else she would have to walk home alone in the rain. I don't blame her, I would go home the moment I heard thunder and lighting.
"LinLin?" I looked up from my Chinese dinner to my parents. The expressions painted on their faces were a look of worry. "You haven't touched your food." My father said sternly.

A girl with short, brown-or black, I couldn't tell-hair jumped from out of nowhere and landed beside JunJun. "Good job!" JunJun exclaimed, giving her a high-five. She must be one of those trainers.
Before the pair ran off, JunJun looked back at me and shouted, "If you get hurt again, I'm going to be there for you!" She dashed off across the empty street, disappearing before my eyes.
I didn't care about my soaked hair anymore. Instead, I tried finding my way home by searching for signs.
Eventually, I found my way home. I arrived late, but there was no response from my parents since they were asleep. I dried my hair before changing into my night clothes, and I went straight to sleep.
That night, I couldn't help but dream about JunJun and the vampire that tried to attack me.

My eyes opened, seeing the window filled with raindrops. Oh wow, nighttime. I guess I slept through the afternoon. Wait a minute, I did sleep through the afternoon! Darn.
Risa's arm was around my waist, my cheeks burning up at her touch. Reina was fast asleep in my chair; the sun did make her drowsy after all. I thought that this would be a good time to have some alone time to myself and thinking things over.
I carefully took Risa's arm off of my waist, I got out of my bed, and wrote the girls a quick note. I hope this would make sense.
Gone out.
-Ai
I took my raincoat and went down the stairs. "Are you going to get something to eat Ai?" MY father asked me when I turned the doorknob. "YeahsureIwillloveyouDad, bye!" I replied all in one breath, closing the door.
I ran down the street, bumping into something, or someone. I almost fell, but I caught myself.
"Ai-chan, there you are." A girl spoke. It sounded like Eri, but she looked so different. Her eyes were beady, and that turtle-like smile she had, turned into a devilish one in seconds. What is wrong with her?
It's like she's possessed.
"I've been wanting to know more about you." She started walking closer to me. I walked back, trying to avoid her.
WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS GIRL?!?
