"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.
