.03///Starry-Eyed
4 years later...
Hyoyeon opened her eyes as pain creeped in her head, causing her to have a headache. The sounds of metal clashing against metal and the eruption of shouts could be heard outside, and Hyoyeon was getting sick of it, literally.
"Oh Hyoyeon~"
Great, more chaos ensues.
She glared at her master, who was unfazed and still smirking. Suddenly, her expression turned cold. "Daddy wants to see you."
What does he want?
Every single time she saw Master Jung, she thought of the time when he killed her parents. That bloody knife in his hand, his disgustingly adorable voice, and his wicked smile symbolized evil.
Hyoyeon nodded and left the room, going to the other side of the palace, which was where Master Jung's office was located. As she took a stroll inside the gigantic palace, the headache worsened once she heard the clinking of metal.
She finally stood outside the door, but she hesitated before knocking. "Come in," Master Jung's voice rang.
Okay, I can do this.
Hyoyeon opened the door, stepping in the room. Master Jung smiled and welcomed Hyoyeon.
"Hyoyeon, there is something important I have to tell you."
Well, this is different.
=============================================
This is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do as a knight.
Sooyoung looked up at the large palace in front of her. She and the other knights were going to invade this place.
Two knights approached Sooyoung, their swords out and ready to fight. Sooyoung narrowed her eyes and whipped out her sword from behind. One knight made the first move on Sooyoung, but she blocked herself with both her shield and sword. There was no way she could take on two knights, not now. She had one goal to do.
Two other knights fought alongside Sooyoung. One of them gave her a look for her to carry on with their plan. Sooyoung nodded and, along with the five other knights, barged into the palace.
Servants and slaves stared at them, their mouths agape and running all over the place.
Sooyoung and the knights split up into various sections of the palace, the enemy's knights popping up out of nowhere. Sooyoung was thankful she had prepared herself earlier.
She punctured the knight in the heart, pulling out the sword from his blood-stained chest. "Aish, my sword's covered in blood." she muttered, putting her sword in its case and walking down the long hall with another knight following her.
"Soo, I see something." the knight said, pointing at an object. "Ah, really?" Sooyoung replied in her deep voice, looking at the object.
JESSICA.
Sooyoung paused and looked at the nameplate on the door frame.
She must be Jung's daughter.
She turned the doorknob, which wouldn't budge. Sooyoung sighed as she stepped back and kicked the door.
She noticed two girls. One had an icy expression and gripping onto the other girl, who seemed to be a slave.
"You're coming with us," the leader growled, grabbing Jessica's arm. "Soo, get the slave."
Sooyoung looked at him, confused. "But, sir, this is not what we had planned."
The leader gave her a look, and Sooyoung gulped. "Yes sir." she obliged and grabbed the slave's wrist, who winced. She looked down and realized it was covered in bruises.
This is terrible...who would do such a thing?
She wrapped the slave's arm around her shoulder. "Now listen to me," she directed. "We're going to get you out of here. All you have to do is run." The slave nodded, a smile brightening her features.
She's such a beautiful girl, she doesn't deserve to be in such a terrible environment.
They ran, following the leader. Sooyoung took a shortcut outside of the palace to avoid the chaotic mess outside. The leader also took a different shortcut as well.
The duo reached the village, the leader and Jessica following after them. She carefully removed Hyoyeon's arm from her shoulder.
"Soo, I need you to take her with you and your friends." The leader ordered, bringing the icy girl towards Sooyoung. "Okay, sir." she replied, grabbing her by the wrist.
"Take care of the captives during our battle, okay?" "Yes sir," Sooyoung smiled and gave a thumbs up. "I will." The leader sped off towards the region.
"Why the hell are we here?" Jessica snapped. Sooyoung ignored her question; she was definitely keeping the slave. "You'll be staying with one of my friends." she stated, knocking on the door.
"Sooyoung, back so soon?" Yuri raised an eyebrow as she answered the door. "Yuri, this is Jessica." Sooyoung introduced. "We captured her and the slave...uh, what's your name?" She looked at the slave.
"Her name is Hyoyeon," Jessica replied with a scoff. "She's mute, so she can't speak. How pathetic."
Hyoyeon bit her lip, and Sooyoung turned to glare at Jessica. "Anyway," she refrained from yelling at the girl. "She'll be staying with you and Yoong for a while."
Yuri smiled. "I'm fine with that."
Good.
"Thanks, Yul." Sooyoung gave a sheepish smile. "No problem." Yuri welcomed the icy girl into the home and closed the door.
Meanwhile, Sooyoung took Hyoyeon to her own small home, which wasn't too far from Yuri and Yoona's. She entered the house and let Hyoyeon enter first, who was amazed.
"Please sit." Sooyoung directed, and Hyoyeon obeyed. "Give me your hand," Hyoyeon looked at her, still afraid. "Don't worry, I'm not going to harm you." Sooyoung smiled, taking Hyoyeon's hand.
"I'm here to save you."

My Vengeful Savior-.02///Surrender
.02///Surrender
Hyoyeon stared at the wall on the opposite side of the dark room as if it was a block. She didn't know what she was doing in this empty room anyway; there was nothing productive to do but just simply stare into space.
She wanted her parents.
Earlier, she was seperated from them and thrown into this cold room. Hyoyeon looked at the bruises on her arms and legs. She clenched her jaw in anger and her eyes darted over to the door right next to her.
What am I doing here anyway?
Being trapped in a room made her feel uncomfortable.
I wonder what Mother and Father are doing right now...
"Don't kill her!"
The sudden shout came from her mother. Hyoyeon froze.
Kill her? What's Mother talking about?
"Your daughter is mute! She's a useless slave! She deserves it!" A man roared at the top of his lungs. Hyoyeon shuddered; they were talking about her. Not only did she practically shiver that the man was going to kill her, but she recognized his voice.
Master Jung was the head of the region and the master of the slaves. Hyoyeon never knew his first name, but she did know he had a daughter who was the same age as her.
And right now, he wants to kill her.
"I won't let you." Hyoyeon snapped out of her trance and continued eavesdropping. She heard Master Jung clear his throat. "Okay then," he started. "I won't do it." Her parents sighed with relief.
Master Jung chuckled and continued, "I will kill you instead!"
She suddenly heard screaming and an eruption of laughter later. Suddenly, the door flew open, and Master Jung stood in front of her with an evil grin on his face. His clothes were bloodstained, and the knife he held in his left hand was covered in blood.
"Come Hyoyeon," he instructed in a sickengly sweet tone. "I'm going to introduce you to your new master."
Hyoyeon obliged, following Master Jung to one of his sections of the big palace. They reached a narrow door with the name printed, "JESSICA" on it.
Ah, so that's his daughter.
He opened the door, walking in on his daughter, who almost jumped.
"FATHER! Don't scare me like-" Jessica stared at Hyoyeon with a confused facial expression. Hyoyeon just glared at her; she could already tell that she wasn't going to like this girl.
She was right.
"Daddy, I don't like this girl."
I never liked you.
"You're going to have to deal with it, Jessica," her father sighed. "She's your new slave." Jessica paused for a minute.
"My slave?" Master Jung nodded. "Fine," She smiled. "At least I can make her do something productive that I don't want to do."
Why me?
Hyoyeon wanted to scream and run away, but she couldn't. All she could simply do was run, but she remembered the knife in Master Jung's hand and her parents.
Mother, Father...
She never expected her parents to be killed. Never. They lived a very happy life as citizens until the entire region was taken over by Master Jung. When he took control, Hyoyeon and her parents were automatically slaves.
I miss you...
She clenched her jaw in frustration. First, her parents' death, now she had a new master, and she was even worse than Master Jung himself.
"I shall leave." Master Jung left the room, closing the door behind him. Jessica smirked and asked, "So you're the mute slave, Kim Hyoyeon if I'm correct, right?" Hyoyeon simply nodded.
"I'm going to have a lot of fun with you, Hyoyeon."
=======================================================
Hyoyeon heard various noises outside, and it annoyed her.
She knew about the other region that was going to battle them. She heard about the new knight, Kim Taeri. She wanted to escape and go with them. But it was hopeless. How was she supposed to leave with them? She would be killed.
"Yah!" Jessica called. Hyoyeon turned around. "Get me fruit from the kitchen." Hyoyeon let out a huff, walking towards the kitchen.
Once again, she asked herself why she was put in this position. From being a happy young girl, to being a slave, and to being alone.
She grabbed a banana and headed back to Jessica's room, who was too busy writing random stories. She looked up and smiled, "Now that's a good girl."
Hyoyeon just gave a slight nod and sat down in a chair, waiting for more demands.
As Jessica was writing, Hyoyeon thought about a hero. The definition of heroes and saviors suddenly popped in her mind.
She wished that a knight would break into this trapped prison, save her, and take her to their peaceful region.
Peace. That was her wish. Peace and happiness.
However, she knew no one was going to save her.
But she had a gut feeling that in the future, someone will fufill her wish.

My Vengeful Savior-.01///Rebellion
.01///Rebellion
Sooyoung should have known that asking her parents if she could begin training as a knight would be a mistake.
"Why not?" she asked sternly, her lips taut and pale. "You let Taeyeon do it!" She let out a heavy sigh. This wasn't the first time she asked her parents for permission; she waited each week, and then she would question them.
"Sooyoung, we don't want you to be harmed." her mother replied. Sooyoung looked at her father, but he nodded in agreement. "Taeyeon may have taught you all of those techniques, but you shall forget about them."
Sooyoung didn't understand. Taeyeon was her sister after all, she was the only person Sooyoung looked up to. Normally, she would let something like this go, but she couldn't take it anymore. She had to speak up.
"Why?" she questioned, her fists clenched. Her father let out a small sigh and muttered angrily, "You're not going to train as a knight, Sooyoung. End of story. Now leave."
"Fine, I will." Sooyoung snarled, pushing the door open as she exited the room. She headed straight for the kitchen, searching for nothing in particular.
"It didn't work, huh?" A girl with black hair asked, giving a sympathetic look. Sooyoung shook her head, grabbing a bottle of water. "I'm not going to give up though." The girl chuckled. "What's so funny Kwon Yuri?" Sooyoung raised an eyebrow. Yuri just shook her head in response.
"It's nothing," Yuri paused before continuing. "You do realize you can train without your parents noticing, right?"
Sooyoung almost coughed drinking her water. "Are you crazy?"
"Listen, you want to become a knight because the enemies killed Taeyeon, right?" Sooyoung slowly nodded. "Then just train, I'll cover for you." "Are you sure Yuri? You know there are servants around..." she whispered the last part as she noticed a few servants strolling by the kitchen. "Oh, I know," Yuri replied, smirking. "You know I come up with the perfect lies."
"Thanks Yul, I knew I could count on you." Sooyoung smiled. "No problem." Yuri giggled. "So, when are you planning on training?"
"I'm going to train tomorrow," Sooyoung replied. "Wish me luck." "Don't worry you'll do well," she looked up at the clock. "Looks like I have to go. Yoong is so going to prank me once I get home." She huffed and waved goodbye to Sooyoung, who was laughing. "Bye Yul!"
"Good luck!" Yuri shouted to Sooyoung, exiting the home afterwards.
Yuri has been Sooyoung's friend since they were ten. Yuri felt terrible when she found out that Taeyeon passed away, but she helped Sooyoung feel better and told her never to give up like Taeyeon had told Sooyoung before she left for battle.
In other words, Yuri was like Sooyoung's second older sister even though they were two months apart. She also had a younger sister named Yoona, who loves to joke around and play pranks. She also lived in a seperate home with Yoona, but they would visit their parents' house regularly, which wasn't too far away from them.
A knot formed in Sooyoung's stomach as she slept that night. She couldn't believe she was doing this, but it was for Taeyeon.
Yuri, I hope you come up with something good for tomorrow...
========================================================================
4 years later...
"So, how does it feel to turn nineteen, Almighty Knight?" Yuri teased. "It feels great," Sooyoung replied as she gulped down the last of her birthday cake. "Ah, I'm so full."
Ever since the day when Sooyoung started training with one of Taeyeon's former trainers, Yuri covered for her. Surprisingly, Sooyoung's parents and the servants were oblivious since they were too busy with their own activities.
Tomorrow, Sooyoung was to leave home and get prepared to go to the enemy's region. Her eyes narrowed at the sudden mention of the battle. She wasn't nervous since this was her fourth battle, but something about this battle was special; she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Are you going to miss home?" Yuri's voice interrupted her thoughts, making her jump. "Yeah," she said, already reminiscing the old times as usual. "You should come with me." she suggested. Yuri shrugged. "I don't know, Sooyoung-" "You can bring Yoong with you," Sooyoung interrupted. "You two can stay in a nearby village." Yuri hesitated before making her decision, "Okay, it will be a good experience."
Sooyoung grinned. "Alright, tell Yoong about this, and I'll come over to your house at 3 AM as we are set to leave a few minutes later." Yuri laughed, nodding. "Okay, Almighty Knight."
Sooyoung dreamt about Taeyeon for the billionth time that night. Her dreams always contained Taeyeon's words, teachings, and various things they used to do when they were kids. Sooyoung was still amazed how she survived all these battles. In one of the dreams, Taeyeon had told Sooyoung that she wished her good luck for the upcoming battle, but she will experience something new during this battle.
Sooyoung shot up, turned on the lamp, and looked at the clock.
1:35 AM.
That was odd...what on Earth is Taeyeon talking about? Oh well, I should get ready.
Sooyoung opened the closet door, searching for her knight uniform. It took her a while to get dressed in her uniform. By that time, it was 2:45 AM. She had to get to Yuri's house quickly. She grabbed her tools, turned off the lights, and snuck out of the house.
"Kim Sooyoung, where do you think you're going?" Sooyoung groaned as the lights to the main hall were suddenly flicked on. She looked at the door.
So close...
"I'm leaving." she simply retorted, giving her father a stern look. "I have to leave, Father. Tell Mother I said goodbye."
With that, she left, heading over to Yuri's house. She didn't care about what her parents thought, what mattered the most was battling those other knights.
She saw Yuri and Yoona standing outside of their home, already packed. "I see you two are ready." Sooyoung said with a chuckle. "Of course, unnie," Yoona replied. "We're always prepared." "Whatever Yoong." Sooyoung stuck out her tongue.
"Let's go, they're waiting for us." She noticed the crowd of other knights and citizens prepared for their leave.
While they were heading to one of the villages, Sooyoung thought about the dream she had earlier. It was quite weird. The majority of the dreams she had was Taeyeon telling her about love. Then again, it was a dream.
"Ah, here's one of the villages!" Sooyoung pointed. "It's closer to the region, so Yuri, you and Yoong can stay here." "Unnie, it looks nice!" Yoona shouted. "Good luck Sooyoung." Yuri whispered, hugging Sooyoung before she ran off with Yoona.
Sooyoung waved goodbye before continuing the short walk. "Okay guys, you know what to do," Sooyoung put on her helmet, grabbing her sword. "Let's have a successful battle." The leader looked at Sooyoung and smiled. Sooyoung gave a slight nod.
It was time.
Sooyoung should have known that asking her parents if she could begin training as a knight would be a mistake.
"Why not?" she asked sternly, her lips taut and pale. "You let Taeyeon do it!" She let out a heavy sigh. This wasn't the first time she asked her parents for permission; she waited each week, and then she would question them.

My Vengeful Savior-.00///The Beginning
.00//The Beginning
Sooyoung bit her lip as she observed her sister in a knight's uniform, who was tying her hair up. Her sister's facial expression was unreadable, her eyes burning into the mirror. There was silence between them; an odd atmosphere took over the room.
"Sooyoung," her sister began, breaking the silence. "You do realize how much I love our region, right?" Sooyoung nodded, still looking at her sister's reflection in the mirror. She shuddered once those cold eyes landed on her. "You do know how much I love war, right?" Sooyoung nodded again, gulping. Her sister walked over to her bed, sitting next to Sooyoung. "You know I risked my gender and went by 'Taeri' to fight as a knight, right?" "Yes." Sooyoung murmured. Her sister smiled and took Sooyoung's hands. They were cold, yet warm.
"Don't ever forget me, Sooyoung," Her sister continued. "This is my first battle, and even though I may not make it-" "Don't say that!" Sooyoung hissed. The thought of her sister dying whilst in battle scared her. Her sister smiled. "I'll always remain in your heart."
"Taeyeon, your parents want to see you before you leave." The servant announced. Taeyeon looked at Sooyoung and said, "I'll make sure to think of you and the family during the battle. I love you. Don't ever give up." She then let go of Sooyoung's hands and exited the room.
Taeyeon...please be alright...
========================================================================
Months and days had passed.
Sooyoung began to get worried. It has been five months since Taeyeon left, yet the knights returned a week ago. There was news traveling around about the knights returning to their families, but Taeyeon never came back.
Sooyoung was in the middle of eating her ramen when the servants started running around from various places. She sighed and went back to eating, almost finished with her bowl. She was about to go to the kitchen, but a servant stopped her.
"I will take that for you, Sooyoung. Your parents want to see you." Sooyoung nodded, giving the servant the bowl. She headed for her parent's room.
She hoped to see Taeyeon again. She wanted to go back to calling her "Shorty" and teasing her. But then, Taeyeon's voice lingered in her mind.
...even though I may not make it, I'll always remain in your heart.
No. Taeyeon was in that room, ready to surprise her. Sooyoung stood at the door, her hand lightly grasping the doorknob. She quickly opened it, and her face fell.
Taeyeon wasn't in the room. Her mother sobbed quietly in her father's arms, who was trying to coax her.
"Come in Sooyoung, sit." Sooyoung obliged, sitting in a chair. She could tell this was bad news. "What's wrong?" she asked, her voice wavering. Her mother cried even harder, and Sooyoung began to be anxious. "What's wrong?" she repeated, this time a bit more stern.
"Taeyeon was injured during the battle," her father announced. "It turned out the wound was fatal, and she died."
Sooyoung didn't know how to respond.
"W-What?" she stammered, trying to recollect what she had just heard. "Taeyeon's dead?" Her parents nodded in response.
How could she be so oblivious? She knew something was wrong when the servants were running around. Once again, Taeyeon's last words she said to Sooyoung lingered in her mind.
Don't ever give up...
"Thanks for telling me," Sooyoung hugged her parents before leaving the room. "Even though she may not be with us, she'll still remain in our hearts." Her mother relaxed a bit after hearing that statement.
Once Sooyoung left the room, tears flowed down her cheeks. She ran to her room, slammed the door behind her, and crawled into her bed.
She was suddenly in a deep sleep, dreaming about all the memories she had with her sister. One dream was when Taeyeon wanted to become a knight, another was when Taeyeon also wanted Sooyoung to become a knight as well.
She opened her eyes and jolted, sitting up in her bed. She rubbed her eyes, wondering what time it was. She turned on the lamp to look at the clock on her wall.
It was 2:15 AM.
Before she went back to sleep, Sooyoung thought about her plan to take revenge on the enemies of her region.
She knew it was pretty easy, she had to train as a knight in order to do so.
And she was going to do that, for Taeyeon.
Sooyoung bit her lip as she observed her sister in a knight's uniform, who was tying her hair up. Her sister's facial expression was unreadable, her eyes burning into the mirror. There was silence between them; an odd atmosphere took over the room.
"Sooyoung," her sister began, breaking the silence. "You do realize how much I love our region, right?" Sooyoung nodded, still looking at her sister's reflection in the mirror. She shuddered once those cold eyes landed on her. "You do know how much I love war, right?" Sooyoung nodded again, gulping. Her sister walked over to her bed, sitting next to Sooyoung. "You know I risked my gender and went by 'Taeri' to fight as a knight, right?" "Yes." Sooyoung murmured. Her sister smiled and took Sooyoung's hands. They were cold, yet warm.
"Don't ever forget me, Sooyoung," Her sister continued. "This is my first battle, and even though I may not make it-" "Don't say that!" Sooyoung hissed. The thought of her sister dying whilst in battle scared her. Her sister smiled. "I'll always remain in your heart."
"Taeyeon, your parents want to see you before you leave." The servant announced. Taeyeon looked at Sooyoung and said, "I'll make sure to think of you and the family during the battle. I love you. Don't ever give up." She then let go of Sooyoung's hands and exited the room.
Taeyeon...please be alright...
========================================================================
Months and days had passed.
Sooyoung began to get worried. It has been five months since Taeyeon left, yet the knights returned a week ago. There was news traveling around about the knights returning to their families, but Taeyeon never came back.
Sooyoung was in the middle of eating her ramen when the servants started running around from various places. She sighed and went back to eating, almost finished with her bowl. She was about to go to the kitchen, but a servant stopped her.
"I will take that for you, Sooyoung. Your parents want to see you." Sooyoung nodded, giving the servant the bowl. She headed for her parent's room.
She hoped to see Taeyeon again. She wanted to go back to calling her "Shorty" and teasing her. But then, Taeyeon's voice lingered in her mind.
...even though I may not make it, I'll always remain in your heart.
No. Taeyeon was in that room, ready to surprise her. Sooyoung stood at the door, her hand lightly grasping the doorknob. She quickly opened it, and her face fell.
Taeyeon wasn't in the room. Her mother sobbed quietly in her father's arms, who was trying to coax her.
"Come in Sooyoung, sit." Sooyoung obliged, sitting in a chair. She could tell this was bad news. "What's wrong?" she asked, her voice wavering. Her mother cried even harder, and Sooyoung began to be anxious. "What's wrong?" she repeated, this time a bit more stern.
"Taeyeon was injured during the battle," her father announced. "It turned out the wound was fatal, and she died."
Sooyoung didn't know how to respond.
"W-What?" she stammered, trying to recollect what she had just heard. "Taeyeon's dead?" Her parents nodded in response.
How could she be so oblivious? She knew something was wrong when the servants were running around. Once again, Taeyeon's last words she said to Sooyoung lingered in her mind.
Don't ever give up...
"Thanks for telling me," Sooyoung hugged her parents before leaving the room. "Even though she may not be with us, she'll still remain in our hearts." Her mother relaxed a bit after hearing that statement.
Once Sooyoung left the room, tears flowed down her cheeks. She ran to her room, slammed the door behind her, and crawled into her bed.
She was suddenly in a deep sleep, dreaming about all the memories she had with her sister. One dream was when Taeyeon wanted to become a knight, another was when Taeyeon also wanted Sooyoung to become a knight as well.

It was 2:15 AM.
Before she went back to sleep, Sooyoung thought about her plan to take revenge on the enemies of her region.
She knew it was pretty easy, she had to train as a knight in order to do so.
And she was going to do that, for Taeyeon.
Crimson Fatalism-2
2.
When Sunny told Jessica that they had to leave due to classes, Taeyeon knew she was lying.
They walked together in silence, staring at the solid pavement. Taeyeon was in a trance, thinking about Jessica. Memories of "Gold Girl" kept flashing repeatedly in her mind.
Gold eyes, blonde hair, cold stare...
Oh my god.
Taeyeon paused in her tracks.
Sunny was unfazed. She knew who and what Taeyeon was thinking about. She knew something was up when Taeyeon decided to introduce herself.
"Don't tell me she was 'Gold Girl'," she muttered, putting her hand on Taeyeon's shoulder. "You need to stay away from her."
Taeyeon knew she had to stay away from Jessica, but she was addictive.
"Where are we going?" Taeyeon decided to change the subject. She had to get Jessica off of her mind. "We're going to get more equipment," Sunny noted. "I get the knife this time and you get the gun." Taeyeon nodded; she always liked handling the gun.
I'm a hunter after all...
Taeyeon bit her lip, realizing that they were in an alley.
Normally, the person who handled the weaponry would be here by now.
"Ah, there she is!" Sunny pointed to a tall girl with brown hair. "Let's go." Taeyeon whispered, walking over her.
"Hello Taeyeon-unnie, Sunny-unnie." she greeted formally, unlocking the silver case. "Hello Seohyun," the two greeted back. Taeyeon looked around the alley. "Where's Yuri?" "She's at the university right now," Seohyun replied, slowly opening the case. "Pick one."
Seohyun had everything from guns to knives to spears. It was like heaven for the two hunters.
"I'll take this silver gun." Taeyeon decided. Although she wanted the black gun, she thought the silver one would be a bit lighter to carry.
Sunny was still deliberating on which knife she should get. "If I were you, I would pick the sharper one." Taeyeon whispered. She pointed to a sleek and shiny knife. Its ridges were indeed, sharp. "Thanks Taeyeon." Sunny squealed, picking up the knife.
"Thanks for letting us borrow these," Taeyeon smiled as Seohyun closed the case. "We'll return these to you as soon as possible." Seohyun nodded. "Okay, good luck!" She waved before running off.
As the two girls hid their weapons and walked to Taeyeon's apartment, Taeyeon remembered her life after her father's death. Her aunt wanted her to be a proper young lady, but Taeyeon didn't want that. She wanted to learn more about vampires, and why they devour human blood.
She became a hunter for vengeance.
When she had made her first decision, she had snuck out of her aunt's home just to meet up with her friend. She was a friend who hunted for the same reason, a friend who understood her problems, and a friend who also wanted to learn more about those beasts.
Lee Sunny.
Taeyeon has known Sunny since childhood. The two had met a month after Taeyeon’s loss. At the time, Taeyeon didn’t know much about Sunny. The two would have conversations, but they weren’t very personal with each other.
Taeyeon remembered the one day where Sunny had asked if they could go to the park. Taeyeon didn't have anything productive to do that day, so she agreed to go with her.
The two were talking about random things, then they fell silent.
“Can I tell you something?” Sunny finally asked, nervously biting her bottom lip. Taeyeon nodded in reply, curious.
“My sister was killed a week ago…”
Taeyeon’s expression softened. Sunny’s sister was a very kind and thoughtful girl, so it saddened her that she was gone.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, but she was killed by a…supernatural creature.”
Once Taeyeon heard those last two words, she was reminded of her father’s death. She didn’t know whether or not she should tell Sunny the truth.
“It was a vampire, wasn’t it?”
“How did you know?”
“My father was killed by one too.”
It was silent between them. Nothing was heard except chatter and the chirping of birds. It was an awkward moment until Sunny whispered, "Then you must know about the hunters."
Taeyeon had heard very little of them even though the topic interested her. "Yes, I have."
"Good, then meet me here tonight." Sunny replied, then she ran off.
Taeyeon remembered everything that night. Once she had met Sunny, she had to pick a weapon from Seohyun. She then was trained by Sunny, and she was immediately a vampire hunter.
"We're here."
Taeyeon snapped out of her thoughts and took her keys out of her pocket, unlocking the door. Taeyeon sighed as she locked the door and relaxed on the couch.
"What's wrong?" Sunny sat beside her. "'Gold Girl'." Taeyeon simply replied. Sunny looked down, and the two were silent again. They didn't have anything to do during the day, so Sunny suggested that they should watch television together for the rest of the day. Although Taeyeon wanted to do something else, she agreed to it instead.
Suddenly, Taeyeon fell asleep on Sunny's shoulder. Sunny looked down and knew that 'Gold Girl' was stressing her out.
Nighttime fell, and Sunny woke the sleeping girl. "We have to go," she whispered. Taeyeon groggily grabbed the keys, and they left. Sunny made sure that they both had their weapons before they went hunting.
Once they reached the woods, Taeyeon searched for vampires. It was difficult at night because they acted just like them: humans. They weren't vampires until they would bare their fangs and devour their prey.
"I see someone." Taeyeon grabbed Sunny's arm and pointed. At first, the vampire was barely visible. Taeyeon had to squint in order to get a good view of her. Then she froze.
"What? What?" Sunny shook her, anxious. Taeyeon didn't respond.
Jessica Jung...
When Sunny told Jessica that they had to leave due to classes, Taeyeon knew she was lying.

Jessica Jung...
New Divide-Prologue
Prologue.
"Taeyeon, I'm sorry, but I must resign." The girl muttered, fumbling with her hands. The woman stared at her, stiff and deep in thought. She didn't understand why the well-trained assassin would fail her mission so quickly. Instead of yelling at her, Taeyeon decided to let the girl exit.
"It was nice working with you." Taeyeon reached out her hand, and the girl shook it and bowed. "I apologize." she repeated. The girl turned around to leave the room as Taeyeon took out a silver revolver as she pointed it at the girl's lower back.
'I'm sorry' doesn't cut it.
Click.
Boom.
Those two sounds was pure entertainment for Taeyeon. Her slender fingers caressed the shiny silver revolver as she pulled the trigger the second time. The metallic bullet aimed for the girl's upper back. Once it had hit both destinations, the young girl kneeled over in pain.
Taeyeon's lips were taut and pale in a thin line. Placing the revolver on her desk, she looked at one of her servants who had witnessed the scene through the cracked door. She walked over to the corpse.
"That's what you get for giving up." she warned. "Take her someplace where no one will find her." she demanded. The man nodded, picking up the corpse as he left the room.
A taller, dark-skinned woman entered the room. She was unfazed as she saw Taeyeon's revolver. "Yuri..." Taeyeon greeted, discarding the revolver. "I have a mission for you."
Kwon Yuri never failed Taeyeon's missions. She enjoyed killing as much as Taeyeon, which was the reason why she was here in the first place.
"It's about time," Yuri replied, a devilish smile played on her lips. "Who's the target?"
"Her name is Tiffany Hwang," Taeyeon stated, giving her the file. "Don't disappoint me."
"Trust me," Yuri stood up. "I won't."
She left the room, satisfied with her new mission as she searched through her target's profile.
This is going to be easy...
However, she didn't know that this would be a difficult mission.

Crimson Fatalism-1
1.
Pink, yellow, red, and purple hues streaked the sky. The sun was about to rise soon, and the stars were barely visible.
Jessica entered the abandoned Victorian home, wiping a trickle of blood from the corner of her lips. She had returned from the "dark hours", also known as the hunting hours.
Jessica had an eerie feeling once she entered the room.
It felt like someone was watching her.
She spotted a girl standing in the middle of the living room. Her hair was the color of obsidian, and her eyes were dark. Jessica shivered at the intense stare. It looked like the younger girl was craving something.
"Unnie..." she spoke, her voice barely audible. Her fangs were visible. Jessica also knew she had returned from the dark hours earlier. "Yes Krystal?" she replied.
"I'm still..." Krystal started to respond, but she started shaking. Jessica grabbed her hand, squeezing it firmly. "…still what Krystal?" She hoped Krystal wouldn't say the word.
"Hungry."
"You returned from the dark hours earlier," Jessica lectured. "Hunger is something you must control." Krystal just stared at her sister. "I don't want you to step in the sunlight...yet." Jessica continued. She let go of Krystal's hand.
"Okay unnie, I'll go to sleep." Krystal rubbed her eyes tiredly and went into another room.
Jessica sat in a chair, gripping the leather. Memories of her family flooded in her mind. Some were good, some were bad, and there were those terrible moments.
Her parents' death.
Jessica remembered when two people with guns barged into their home. She didn't know who they were until later. Her father tried to negotiate with the two, and her mother was holding baby Krystal in her arms. Jessica could only pull on her mother's shirt, wondering what was going on.
"Nothing is wrong Jessica..."
But Jessica knew something was wrong. The evidence was right in front of her. She could feel her heart thumping in her chest, and she could tell that her mother was panicking.
"Hide Jessica, hold Krystal for me."
Jessica went to a different room and hid in the closet with her baby sister. She could only hear crashes, shouts, and gunshots.
Then she heard the door slam.
Jessica winced and looked at Krystal. The baby didn't cry, she was still sleeping peacefully. She realized there weren't any screams nor gunshots, so she stepped out of the closet. She returned to the living room, and noticed her parents covered in blood. Jessica's eyes grew wide.
They're dead...
Jessica was silent. She had no choice but to leave and find her uncle, who lived next door. She knocked, trying not to wake Krystal.
"Uncle...they're gone..." Jessica started crying and she handed him the baby. His expression was unreadable, and his response was shocking.
"I know..."
Jessica remembered living with him. He taught her hunting methods and how to control her hunger. She always told him everything.
Good times...
However, she never told him about the first time she saved a human from danger. Jessica bit her lip. She remembered the girl had chocolate eyes and light brown hair.
I don't know what came over me...
The girl was obviously frightened, and Jessica tried to be kind. However, the girl denied her offer and walked off on her own.
Jessica never saw her again.
"I'm going for a walk." Jessica put on her necklace. It was a gift her mother had given her before she was killed. She could experience new things during the day. As long as she had the necklace, she was fine. She exited the home, closing the door and locking it behind her.
Taking a walk seemed to calm Jessica. It was peaceful. It also helped her control her hunger, even though it wasn't a challenge. "Ah," she sighed, closing her eyes and looking up at the blue sky.
"Taeyeon!"
Jessica snapped out of her peaceful state and saw two girls. One had long brown hair, but the other girl was oddly familiar. "What is it Sunny?" Taeyeon questioned. Sunny pointed over to Jessica. "She has gold eyes."
"She does..." Taeyeon trailed off, observing Jessica. "Maybe we should greet her." Taeyeon walked towards her, but Sunny interfered and whispered something low. "I don't care." Taeyeon gritted her teeth and continued walking. Sunny had no choice but to follow her. Jessica remained still.
"Hi, my name is Kim Taeyeon." Taeyeon was the first to introduce herself. Sunny didn't respond until Taeyeon elbowed her. "My name is Lee Sunny." Jessica giggled, trying not to reveal her fangs. She hoped they didn't notice. "I'm Jessica Jung, nice to meet you both."
Beep!
"It's time to go to our classes," Sunny checked her watch. "We have to go." She smiled at Jessica and walked off, dragging Taeyeon with her. Taeyeon could only wave, still mesmerized.
She was definitely familiar.

Crimson Fatalism-0
"Daddy, look at me!" A young girl shouted enthusiastically. She gained attention from her father, who turned around and grinned, watching his daughter slide down the slide at the playground. He stood at the edge and scooped his six year old daughter in his arms. A smile formed on his lips as his daughter started giggling. He gently put her down. "I see sweetie," he whispered. "Go play some more, I'll be right here."
Those were the last words that the young girl heard her father say.
She looked around the playground, wondering what other objects she could play with. "I already played on the bridge, the jungle gym, and the slide." she listed. Her eyes landed on a pair of swings. "There!" she pointed, running over to the swings and jumping in one of them. She started swinging on her own, but she wanted someone else to help push her so she can soar into the evening sky.
"Daddy?" she asked, ogling the playground and stopping her activity. The only sound that could be heard was the squeaking from the swing. "Daddy?" she called again. Although her bottom lip quivered, tears didn't emerge in her eyes. She looked to her left and looked to her right repeatedly until she saw a silhouette of a man and a woman. The girl walked even closer to the two dark figures. The man resembled her father, and the woman was devouring him.
"DADDY!" The girl scrambled towards her father, struggling with each step. Tears eventually flowed down her rosy cheeks; she wanted to save her father. She cried his name repeatedly until he fell onto the ground.
I'll be right here...
Those three words lingered in her mind once she approached him. "I'll be here too Daddy." She buried her face into his blood-stained chest as she squeezed his cold hand, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Just what do you think you're doing?" A feminine voice hissed, putting her hand on the girl's shoulder. "You're my target too." The girl raced past the woman, exiting the playground.
Fangs. That woman has fangs.
"I'm not letting you get away from me you pesky little girl!" The girl ran faster, entering all sorts of obstacles that got in the way. She suddenly tripped on her untied shoelace and fell onto the pavement, hard. "Unh!" The girl squinted at the looming figure above her.
"You're my tasty dessert."
The girl winced once a hand was placed on her shoulder, gripping it tightly. She kicked and screamed, but she failed. The woman licked her lips, and her fangs inched closer to the girl's neck.
Whack.
The girl opened her eyes and saw another girl standing in front of her. She was about her age. However, the only thing that was different were her golden eyes.
They're the color of the woman's eyes...
The girl sat frozen, looking at the woman and the girl with golden eyes. "Thank you." She stood up with the girl's assistance. The other didn't reply, her cold gaze fixated on the other. "You're welcome," she replied, putting her arm against the lost girl's shoulder. "Can I take you home?" The girl stiffened at the offer.
Doesn't she have parents as well?
"No, my parents died." 'Gold Girl' replied. "So can I?" The girl shivered. "No thank you, I'll go to my aunt's house." Gold Girl was silent for a while, staring at the shaken girl. "Fine then, go home." Gold Girl walked down another path. However, the girl could hear her voice; she was freaking out both externally and internally.
See you later.
Once she got home, she cried in her aunt's arms. She hoped that all this madness was a dream. Unfortunately, it was all real, and it would affect her for the rest of her life.
Those were the last words that the young girl heard her father say.
She looked around the playground, wondering what other objects she could play with. "I already played on the bridge, the jungle gym, and the slide." she listed. Her eyes landed on a pair of swings. "There!" she pointed, running over to the swings and jumping in one of them. She started swinging on her own, but she wanted someone else to help push her so she can soar into the evening sky.
"Daddy?" she asked, ogling the playground and stopping her activity. The only sound that could be heard was the squeaking from the swing. "Daddy?" she called again. Although her bottom lip quivered, tears didn't emerge in her eyes. She looked to her left and looked to her right repeatedly until she saw a silhouette of a man and a woman. The girl walked even closer to the two dark figures. The man resembled her father, and the woman was devouring him.
"DADDY!" The girl scrambled towards her father, struggling with each step. Tears eventually flowed down her rosy cheeks; she wanted to save her father. She cried his name repeatedly until he fell onto the ground.
I'll be right here...
Those three words lingered in her mind once she approached him. "I'll be here too Daddy." She buried her face into his blood-stained chest as she squeezed his cold hand, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Just what do you think you're doing?" A feminine voice hissed, putting her hand on the girl's shoulder. "You're my target too." The girl raced past the woman, exiting the playground.
Fangs. That woman has fangs.
"I'm not letting you get away from me you pesky little girl!" The girl ran faster, entering all sorts of obstacles that got in the way. She suddenly tripped on her untied shoelace and fell onto the pavement, hard. "Unh!" The girl squinted at the looming figure above her.
"You're my tasty dessert."
The girl winced once a hand was placed on her shoulder, gripping it tightly. She kicked and screamed, but she failed. The woman licked her lips, and her fangs inched closer to the girl's neck.
Whack.
The girl opened her eyes and saw another girl standing in front of her. She was about her age. However, the only thing that was different were her golden eyes.

Rondo (Chapter Twenty-One: Gluttony)
"Wait..." Eri murmured rigorously. "What is it Eri?" Ai growled, her face buried in Eri's shoulder. "Why are you toying with me?" "Eh?" Ai ogled Eri, whose facial expression was emotionless. "I'm not as slow as you think I am Ai," Eri explained. "Why did you come here?"
Ai's eyes darkened. Her lips were taut and slightly pale. Her grip on Eri's shoulders tightened, Eri's eyes widening in response to the sudden touch. "What did I just say Eri? I'm hungry." Ai replied, focusing on Eri's neck. "Also, you taste delicious." Eri stiffened as Ai bared her fangs again.
"Let go of me Ai." Eri demanded, her hands grabbing Ai's wrists. She was unable to jerk Ai's hands off of her shoulders, which made Ai chuckle. "You're silly Eri," she whispered. "A simple demand won't stop me from sucking your blood."
"Then what will?" Eri asked, squirming. "Nothing will stop me from hunger Eri." Eri's body grew fragile once Ai's fangs were in contact with her neck. However, an aggressive tug pulled Eri and Ai apart.
Eri landed on the wet and murky pavement, only to find someone grunting underneath her. She quickly stood up and turned around to see one of Ai's trainers.
"Ah, sorry about that." Eri helped the shorter trainer by offering her hand. The other thanked her. "You should watch Ai more often, she's different." "I know what you mean..." The trainer observed a scene between Ai and her other trainer arguing. "Reina! Let's go!" she shouted, waving her hand repeatedly. "Pretend like you don't remember this okay?" Reina warned, running towards the trainer. "Okay." Eri replied hesitantly, grabbing her purse and finding her keys.
She entered the house, thankful her parents weren't home to hear (or see) the chaotic event outside. She went upstairs (along with her shopping bags), and entered her room. "Maybe I should try on that necklace," Eri fumbled through the bags and found the necklace, putting it on. "Ah, it looks nice!" Eri took off the accessory.
A strange sound blared, scaring the turtle. She dropped the accessory, which fell with a loud clang on the floor. Eri picked it up, and placed on her dresser.
"Eri," An enigmatic girl sat on Eri's bed, grinning devilishly. "Where did you come from?" Eri questioned nervously.
The girl walked over to her main target, tucking a lock of hair behind Eri's ear.
"You don't need to know Eri, it's clearly none of your business." The girl replied sternly.
Eri's vision went black, and the last thing she could hear was her scream due to a painful bite.
***********************************************************************
Koharu patrolled the park like a watchdog. She had fully developed her tracker demon abilities, which left JunJun worried and Aika amused.
"Should we get her checked out?" Aika asked in a teasing tone. JunJun crossed her arms, perusing the newly transformed tracker demon. "Hmph." she grunted, shrugging her shoulders.
"Hmph?" Aika waved her hand in front of her trainer's face. "That's all you can say?" "I don't trust her." JunJun replied. "Then how about I talk to her?" Aika suggested. "No." JunJun demanded.
"Why not?" Aika whined, crossing her arms and pouting. "Fine go talk to her," JunJun rolled her eyes. "Just don't blame me when she calls you a mean name."
"What was that?" Aika stared at JunJun. "Nothing, just talk to her." JunJun continued focusing on the cluster of buildings.
Until she noticed someone walking towards her.
**************************************************************************************************
"Koharu?"
Koharu turned around, meeting Aika's gaze. "Hi." She immediately went back to her duty. Confused, Aika decided to use some of her tricks to get Koharu's attention.
"So, what are you doing? You've been acting like a watchdog for the past hour." Koharu ogled Aika, sighing. "I'm searching for Sayumi," she explained. "She tends to come here a lot, so that's why I'm...'on patrol'. Do you understand my point, Mittsi?"
"Mittsi?" Aika cringed at the new nickname she received from Koharu. She despised nicknames from the start, which was why everyone called her "Aika" or "Mitsui". No one ever called her "Mittsi".
"You don't like it?" Koharu was meticulous. "It's okay if you dislike it, it just slipped-" "No, you can call me that, but only you can use it a nickname. Don't use it around JunJun."
"Okay." Koharu smiled, revealing her fangs. Aika was about to speak, but she didn't say anything.
"We should search for Sayumi in a different area, shall we?" Aika asked instead. "Yeah, this is a pretty bland area." Koharu scratched her head. "Alright then, Jun...Jun?"
Aika couldn't spot her trainer. "Let's look for her-" "No, leave her alone, she's probably over at someone's house right now."
The comment left Koharu confused, but she shrugged her shoulders and sat on the bench along with Aika, and they both stared at the full moon together.
Ai's eyes darkened. Her lips were taut and slightly pale. Her grip on Eri's shoulders tightened, Eri's eyes widening in response to the sudden touch. "What did I just say Eri? I'm hungry." Ai replied, focusing on Eri's neck. "Also, you taste delicious." Eri stiffened as Ai bared her fangs again.

Rondo (Chapter Twenty: Addiction)
"Lin? Is something bothering you?" LinLin's father asked politely. He has never seen his daughter pensive. LinLin didn't respond to his question, still staring into space. Koharu hasn't called her in a while, and she was beginning to worry.
"Nothing Father, it's nothing." LinLin replied quietly. "I think I need some air." She left quickly, suddenly finding herself standing outside her house as the light blue sky was about to fade into a shade of gold, purple, and orange hues in the sky.
Around the area LinLin lived in, a swarm of people would discuss about recent occurances in the streets, eat at the resturants, play video games, and many more events. However, when the sky grew hazy and the moon would shine, odd things would happen in the night. Since it was sunset, it was unusual to see the town engulfed with silence.
Whirr....
A strong breeze sent chills down LinLin's spine. She stopped in her tracks, looking around the street. "Oh well, false alarm." she mumbled. Ever since her encounter with JunJun last night, all she could think about was her. Why was she having these feelings now?
Whirr...
"What's going on?" LinLin blurted as she heard the vexatious noise, still pausing in her tracks. There was no response, a whistling breeze could only answer LinLin's question.
"Qian Lin." A voice called into the distance, a powerful current absorbed LinLin. She squeezed her eyes shut, receiving a headache due to her name being repeated.
"WHAT?" She shouted, her hands covered her ears. A loud cackle erupted from the voice. “Do you seriously think that’s going to work?” LinLin’s face flushed a light pink color. She didn’t know how to respond. “Who are you?”
“That’s not important.” The voice retorted, another gust of wind surrounded the struggling girl. LinLin gulped slightly.
“Haha, I love antagonizing you and that vampire friend of yours.” LinLin’s eyes expanded. “Jun…Jun?” “Yeah JunJun, whatever her name is…” The voice scoffed.
“You sound so-“Familiar?” The voice sighed. “Yes, aren’t you-“Sayumi? The voice, now a girl, appeared in front of LinLin, grinning devilishly. “You’re correct.” “Aren’t you supposed to be with-“ “Koharu?” Sayumi crossed her arms.
“KOHARU! What’s wrong with her? Where is she?” LinLin panicked. “She’s not important anymore…I took care of her.” LinLin’s heart was thumping inside her chest. However, LinLin’s emotions revolved from worry to anger. “What did you do to Koharu?”
“Listen, you’re not ready to understand this situation.” Sayumi replied strictly. “Why not?” Sayumi tried to come up with an explanation. “You…just…won’t.” Sayumi stepped closer. LinLin stepped backward, puzzled. From all the descriptions and stories Koharu mentioned about her mentor…LinLin was shocked by Sayumi’s actions. She seemed so different. She then remembered Sayumi’s statement.
“Tell me what you told JunJun.” LinLin demanded. “No.” Sayumi stated. “Tell me what you did to them,” LinLin spoke in a calm and stern tone. “It doesn’t matter if I’m human." "What did I tell you before? No." "Tell me, please." LinLin almost sounded desperate.
"That's does it, I can't resist anymore." LinLin didn't realize the sky turned into a dark, hazy color. The moon shined on Sayumi's face, which was a pale color and beady eyes. She bared her fangs, chuckling afterwards. LinLin was stunned; she couldn't move due to Sayumi squeezing her shoulders tightly.
"Koharu was my first target, now you're next." Sayumi whispered before her fangs were about to sink into LinLin's flesh. LinLin closed her eyes in fear, but when she opened them, Sayumi disappeared like lightning. LinLin looked around the area; she was confused.
Thud.
"I knew you were going to do something bad to her." JunJun pinned Sayumi against the brick wall. "I wasn't going to do anything bad." Sayumi groaned in defeat.
Thud.
"I just saw you! Don't think I'm stupid! Then again, all you tracker demons think that vampires and humans are naive and dumb." Sayumi stared at JunJun blankly. "Ugh, never mind," JunJun shook her head angrily. "Now thell me the truth, were you about to turn LinLin into a tracker demon?" "Yes, I was going to turn her into one of them, but your crazy lecture isn't going to stop me." Sayumi confessed.
'So Koharu was Sayumi's first target, and I was going to be next? What is a tracker demon anyway? Koharu...'
"Don't touch her, don't bite her, don't do anything to her," JunJun released her grip on Sayumi, trembling afterwards. "If I see you harm LinLin again, you're dead meat." Sayumi paused before replying, "I don't think I can keep that promise."
'I hate her...'
"You make me sick Sayumi." LinLin blurted unintentionally, covering her mouth quickly. "Go home LinLin." JunJun directed, still keeping an eye on Sayumi. "But what about Koharu?" "Koharu's going to be fine, okay?" JunJun gulped. She had never seen LinLin so upset before. "That's not true!" JunJun hugged LinLin, who was sobbing in her arms. "Let it all out." JunJun still didn't take her eyes off of Sayumi, who was about to escape. "Go home okay? I'll take care of Sayumi." "Okay...bye JunJun." LinLin wiped her tears, walking home. She had too much to think about the eventful eventful evening.
Diverting her attention back to Sayumi, JunJun realized that she escaped once again. "Damn, she's gone again." she muttered under her breath. She thought about LinLin, making a mental note to herself. "I hope she's alright, I must check on her in the morning." JunJun sighed before leaving the silent streets.
**************************************************************************************************
"I want to go home..." Koharu whined, crossing her arms and pouting. Aika had been listening to her whine for a while, but she couldn't help but laugh whenever Koharu pouted. She cleared her throat replying, "How many times do I have to tell you? We have to keep you here for a while." "You never told me the reason why."
"Sayumi bit you, something's wrong with you...what do you expect?" Aika was ready to hear more of Koharu's whining, but she didn't hear anything. Aika still remained quiet.
'Why is she so melancholy?'
"Koharu?"
Aika almost jumped the moment she saw Koharu. Her eyes were twitching, transforming into beady orbs. Her teeth elongated, which revealed her fangs. Finally, her breathing stopped, and she was quietly.
"Koharu?" Aika called softly, inching closer to her. Koharu was breathing normally, but she was stiff. "Look at me Koharu." Aika whispered, scrunching her eyebrows.
"What just happened to me?" Koharu asked calmly. "You just..." "It's Sayumi, she turned me into this," Koharu pulled on her jacket. "I'm hideous." "What are you talking about Koharu, you're beautiful." Aika disagreed, smirking. "It's still her fault." Koharu mumbled angrily. "You didn't know she was going to attack you. Don't be shy, come here." Koharu moved closer to Aika, looking at her curiously. "What?" Aika asked, making an odd facial expression. "Nothing, nothing at all." Koharu blushed, diverting her attention away from Aika.
'Hmm...maybe this plan will work...' Aika giggled at the thought, noticing Koharu's blushing face.
"What's wrong Koharu? Are you scared?" Koharu gaped at Aika. "I'm not scared! I'm just shocked that I look so-" Aika put her finger over Koharu's lips, causing her to be calm.
"There's no need to yell, I'm right here." Aika whispered huskily before removing her finger from Koharu's lips. "Uh, s-sorry." Koharu squeaked in response. Aika chuckled, "You're hilarious Koharu." Koharu froze, whispering, "T-Thanks."
"Aika! Koharu!" JunJun called, not too far away from the two. "Yes?" Aika got up from the bench, about to walk towards her. Koharu grabbed her hand at the last minute. "Get up, JunJun's not going to harm you."
'But I bet she tried her best not to hurt Sayumi...'
"Aika! Let go of her!" JunJun pried their hands apart. "Relax JunJun, she's harmless." "That's because," JunJun lowered her voice to a whisper. "She just transformed. She's powerful as the time goes by."
"You do realize I can still hear you right?" Koharu titled her head and giggled. "Okay, you're right, but what are we going to do with her?" Aika knew Koharu was one of the "good' tracker demons, but will she transform into a "bad" tracker demon later? She certainly hoped not; she was beginning to like Koharu.
"I don't know." JunJun responded. "I'm too angry at Sayumi." "What happened?" Koharu butted in, raising an eyebrow. "Sayumi tried to make LinLin end up like Koharu, but I stopped her," JunJun sighed. "She's worried about you Koharu, but I told her you were fine."
"I can't believe Sayumi would still do this to me. She's a vampire isn't she?" "No Koharu, she's even worse." "So, she's one of the tracker demons?" Koharu asked. "Yes, she's a tracker demon Koharu." "Too bad I can't do anything to stop her." "Then I can stop her." Aika offered eagerly." "No Aika, you're too young." "I have a solution." Koharu stated. "What is it Koharu?" Aika asked, still eager.
"I can stop Sayumi myself."
**************************************************************************************************
"AH! I'm so late!" Eri had four bags filled with the shopping items she bought. She tried to get the keys from her purse as she got to her house. However, since her purse was a mess, she couldn't find the keys. "I think I misplaced them again." She looked up again, only to see her best friend in front of her. "Ai-chan, I didn't notice you were here...."
Ai was trembling, breathing heavily. "Ai-chan? Are you alright?"
"I'm cold..." Ai responded in a childish voice. "But it's warm outside, but it will be okay Ai-chan." Eri dropped her belongings and gave Ai a quick hug. It was something she and Ai would do whenever they were in a cold atmosphere.
"Eri," Ai finally spoke, her breath vibrating against Ai's neck. "I'm hungry..." "Hungry?" Eri tried to pull away, but Ai's grip was tight. "Your blood is so rich, I want to taste it again." Ai bared her fangs.
Eri could only shake under her touch.
"Nothing Father, it's nothing." LinLin replied quietly. "I think I need some air." She left quickly, suddenly finding herself standing outside her house as the light blue sky was about to fade into a shade of gold, purple, and orange hues in the sky.

“Listen, you’re not ready to understand this situation.” Sayumi replied strictly. “Why not?” Sayumi tried to come up with an explanation. “You…just…won’t.” Sayumi stepped closer.

"There's no need to yell, I'm right here." Aika whispered huskily before removing her finger from Koharu's lips. "Uh, s-sorry." Koharu squeaked in response. Aika chuckled, "You're hilarious Koharu." Koharu froze, whispering, "T-Thanks."
"Aika! Koharu!" JunJun called, not too far away from the two. "Yes?" Aika got up from the bench, about to walk towards her. Koharu grabbed her hand at the last minute. "Get up, JunJun's not going to harm you."
'But I bet she tried her best not to hurt Sayumi...'
"Aika! Let go of her!" JunJun pried their hands apart. "Relax JunJun, she's harmless." "That's because," JunJun lowered her voice to a whisper. "She just transformed. She's powerful as the time goes by."
"You do realize I can still hear you right?" Koharu titled her head and giggled. "Okay, you're right, but what are we going to do with her?" Aika knew Koharu was one of the "good' tracker demons, but will she transform into a "bad" tracker demon later? She certainly hoped not; she was beginning to like Koharu.
"I don't know." JunJun responded. "I'm too angry at Sayumi." "What happened?" Koharu butted in, raising an eyebrow. "Sayumi tried to make LinLin end up like Koharu, but I stopped her," JunJun sighed. "She's worried about you Koharu, but I told her you were fine."
"I can't believe Sayumi would still do this to me. She's a vampire isn't she?" "No Koharu, she's even worse." "So, she's one of the tracker demons?" Koharu asked. "Yes, she's a tracker demon Koharu." "Too bad I can't do anything to stop her." "Then I can stop her." Aika offered eagerly." "No Aika, you're too young." "I have a solution." Koharu stated. "What is it Koharu?" Aika asked, still eager.
"I can stop Sayumi myself."

"AH! I'm so late!" Eri had four bags filled with the shopping items she bought. She tried to get the keys from her purse as she got to her house. However, since her purse was a mess, she couldn't find the keys. "I think I misplaced them again." She looked up again, only to see her best friend in front of her. "Ai-chan, I didn't notice you were here...."
Ai was trembling, breathing heavily. "Ai-chan? Are you alright?"
"I'm cold..." Ai responded in a childish voice. "But it's warm outside, but it will be okay Ai-chan." Eri dropped her belongings and gave Ai a quick hug. It was something she and Ai would do whenever they were in a cold atmosphere.
"Eri," Ai finally spoke, her breath vibrating against Ai's neck. "I'm hungry..." "Hungry?" Eri tried to pull away, but Ai's grip was tight. "Your blood is so rich, I want to taste it again." Ai bared her fangs.
Eri could only shake under her touch.

Rondo (Chapter Nineteen: Decode)
"Damn it..." JunJun muttered, looking around the cluster of buildings that crowded her. Anger was boiling in her blood as she balled her fists, pouding them against the coarse and slippery road. "I cannot find her." JunJun slammed her fist again, but it met with a cool splash that suddenly came in contact with her clothes and her face.
JunJun stood up, trudging down the street, eyes wandering around the area as she picked up her pace. Thoughts of the enigmatic Sayumi clouded her mind. Why did she bite Koharu? Why would she harm her? Where is she?
"There you are," Words dripped with acidity when a dark voice spoke from behind. "You are JunJun I presume?" JunJun turned around, her eyes meeting the severe orbs of an obsidian hair-colored girl.
"Yes, my name is JunJun," the slightly flustered vampire replied, still making eye contact. "And you must be Sayumi I assume." Before the other girl could open her mouth and make conversation, JunJun asked,
"How the hell did you know my name?"
"Sayumi" cackled haughtily, shaking her head afterwards. "I've seen you with your trainee, Aika before." Sayumi winked after her explanation.
'So she has been stalking us?' JunJun was about to burst with fury, but she kept her composure.
"I also saw the both of you with Koharu-" "And?" JunJun interrupted, her nails ripping into the palm of her hands. "And I want you to say away from her." JunJun's orbs expanded in size.
'What the hell does she mean?'
"Why?" JunJun questioned, not a hint of hesitation dominated her voice. She streched her hands, which were numb. "I bit her of course." Sayumi chuckled in response.
"Interesting, but why did you bite her?" "Because," Sayumi tried to think of a reasonable answer. "I wanted her to transform into someone." "Like who?" JunJun narrowed her eyes, her hands balling up into fists again.
"You will see soon." Sayumi's words were poisonous, which made the vampire even more furious, yet curious at the same time. "Noticing that she was spacing out, JunJun closed and opened her eyes, coming to the quick realization that Sayumi disappeared. "Damn it." JunJun cursed again, suddenly followed by a sigh.
Continuing her trudging down the street, JunJun thought about Sayumi's last statement:
"You will see soon..."
JunJun knew it would have been impossible for Koharu to become a vampire, or could it be possible? She suddenly remembered when she was a trainee about the teachings of the tracker demon:
'Tracker demons are dangerous to the vampire and the human clan. The demons want to devour their blood so that the vampire clan can become fragile by the second."
JunJun shook her head at the memory. "Crap, that's not the right one." She mumbled angrily. Then she remembered something else:
'Tracker demons can also bite, but their targets are humans. Not only do they devour their blood, there's a chance that the unconscious human can become a tracker demon in minutes.'
JunJun was frightened once she remembered that. Sayumi's cackling laugh replayed in her mind repeatedly.
'No...no, Koharu's not a....she can't be a...'
"Damn it."
JunJun stood up, trudging down the street, eyes wandering around the area as she picked up her pace. Thoughts of the enigmatic Sayumi clouded her mind. Why did she bite Koharu? Why would she harm her? Where is she?
"There you are," Words dripped with acidity when a dark voice spoke from behind. "You are JunJun I presume?" JunJun turned around, her eyes meeting the severe orbs of an obsidian hair-colored girl.

Rondo (Chapter Eighteen: Eerie)
Chapter Eighteen: Eerie
*************************************************************************************
A shrill scream echoed in the empty streets. Crows started cawing and flapping their wings from the trees above. The wind whistled, sending a cool and chilly breeze. There was a dead silence except for the particular scream. Chills ran down Aika's spine, the trainee sensing a strange prescence. "What was that?" She questioned immediately, looking at JunJun curiously. Her trainer didn't reply; she was too focused on something else. Aika sighed profoundly, shaking her head. "Are you going to respond?" she muttered angrily, her nails ripping into the palm of her hands as she heard the piercing scream once again. JunJun didn't speak a single word.
What's going on in her mind right now? Can't she hear the scream?
As if she had read Aika's mind, JunJun walked towards the trainee and whispered, "It's nothing, I'm curious about the scream." Aika didn't react, racing down the sidewalk. JunJun was following her trail. "Where are we going?" she asked, her voice wavering. "To the park, the scream came from there." Aika replied, stopping in her tracks. "Oh...hey, why did you stop?" "We're here." Aika's eyes widened at the scene. A girl with bite marks on the side of her neck was unconsious on a bench. Her jacket was blood-stained. Aika immediately walked over to the girl, shaking her slowly. "What are you doing?" JunJun questioned. "Always have to ask questions don't you?" Aika rolled her eyes. The girl started jerking; she was slowly opening her eyes.
She winced in pain, grabbing the side of her neck. "S-Sayumi...." Her eyes darkened at the name. "She...bit me." The girl looked at Aika, then at JunJun. "Vampires..." She observed, standing up weakly. "Sayumi...is a vampire, just like you." Aika was dumbfounded. "I'll find her, I have an odd feeling that she isn't a vampire." JunJun ran off in a different direction. "What is your name?" Aika tried to make conversation. "Kusumi Koharu," the girl replied. "And you?" "Aika, Mitsui Aika. It's nice to meet you Koharu."
If this...Sayumi is not a vampire, then she must be rare...it's impossible for her to become a tracker demon, right?
**************************************************************************************************
Reina entered Ai's bedroom through the window. "Good, there are no curtains." Reina chuckled. "What did you get?" Risa questioned blatantly. Reina gulped. She knew the Reaction Queen would burst at any minute. "Yossie and Miki are too busy, but I did speak with Maki, and-" "And?" "She's getting a tracker demon vibe."
"There's nothing we can do about it, huh?" Risa whispered in a low tone. "Well, not right now..." Reina shrugged her shoulders. "Her eyes are going to turn black any minute," Risa panicked. "She's not even fully possessed! I don't want her to be this way Reina!"
[i]Here she goes....[/i]
"I'm digging up more information Risa." Reina grabbed Risa's shoulders, shaking her. After a few minutes, Risa was finally calmed. "Oh, well why didn't you say so?" Reina sighed, sitting in a chair. "You went into Reaction Queen moment Risa right after I announced the news." "Oh...HEY!"
"Will you guys quit?" Ai stood up from her bed, walking over to the window. It took a while for the exhausted Reina to realize what Ai was about to do. "Um...." "Um?" Ai opened the window. "Where do you think you're going?" Risa butted in, her voice wavering.
"Where do you think I'm going?" Ai snickered, smirking. "You're going for a walk." Reina guessed sarcastically, knowing the answer was going to be different. "Correct, but what for?" Reina made a facepalm gesture.
[i]She has got to be kidding me...[/i]
"It doesn't matter, you're still not going out of our sight." Risa grabbed Ai's arm, but Ai pushed it away. "That's where you're wrong." "Then what are you going to do Ai?" Reina gripped the arm of the chair with her fingernails. Ai chuckled, shivers running down Reina's spine.
"Silly Reina, I'm going on a little hunt." Ai replied before jumping out of the window.

Rondo (Chapter Seventeen: Surge)
Reina was short of breath when she entered the building. She was about to go to the front desk, but then a certain someone made Reina stop in her tracks. Maki was speaking with Yossie and Miki, explaning all the information that was important.
"Yes, I'll speak to Reina about it." Maki closed the conversation by heading outside. Reina followed her, grinning. At least she didn't have to stay in that building anymore. "Oh, hi Reina." Maki greeted, her back still facing Reina. Her voice sounded kind of...monotone. "Hi, what did you want to talk to me about?" Reina raised her eyebrow, causing the older to turn around and stare at her blankly. It took Maki a moment to recap what happened.
"How's Ai?" Reina couldn't believe that Maki would ask such a thing, but she understood the reason. "I think she has a glitch." She replied nervously, her hands shaking a little. "So that's why she's been fragile." Maki murmured. "What do you mean Maki?" Reina was anxious, her brown orbs were filled with fright.
"That glitch can send odd signals," Maki explained. "It's a rare one though, I found this out while seeking for tracker demons the other day." "So I was right." Reina whispered, a little puzzled. "What are you talking about Reina?" Maki looked at Reina with a puzzled expression. "Well, when Eri was possessed," Reina confessed. "I knew that this won't be the last time it would come back."
"It's probably because Ai had to kill it, I'm sure she will be fine." Maki put her arm around Reina. "I don't know Maki, she was very...different." Reina was unsure. "Talk to Yossie and Miki about it later. They're busy at the moment, they might know what you're talking about." Maki suggested. "Now, I have to look up this report about another demon attack, bye!" Maki went back inside the building before Reina could say anything.
"I guess I'll come back later." Reina muttered, wondering how the Reaction Queen would handle the news.
**************************************************************************************************
"Oh crap," Koharu repeated, darting down the sidewalk to get to the park. Passerbys stopped and turned to look at the sprinting girl. "I shouldn't have watched LinLin's entire collection of that anime!" She that Sayumi wouldn't be happy, but she would forgive Koharu.
Huffing and puffing heavily, Koharu decided to take a break. She looked around and noticed Sayumi sitting on the bench, the air rustling her raven-colored hair. Koharu closed her eyes and opened them again before sitting next to her.
"Koharu..." Sayumi murmured. "You are late." She was very calm about Koharu's tardiness, a small smiled emerged from her lips. Koharu felt the urge to kiss those light pink lips. "I'm sorry Sayu-" "But I'm glad you're here now." Sayumi interrupted, still calm. Koharu was flabbergasted by Sayumi's voice change; she was suspicious.
"What's wrong Sayu? Are you okay?" Koharu questioned timorously. "No." A light chuckle escaped Sayumi's lips, her eyes turning beady at the sudden gesture. Stunned, Koharu's hand was placed on Sayumi's shoulder. "Ah!" She shouted, noticing Sayumi's skin turning pale. "S-Sayumi, you're pale." She squeaked, her eyes expanding in shock. "Yes, I know." Sayumi faced Koharu, placing her hands on her shoulders.
"Sayu, what are you-" "Don't ask questions." Sayumi demanded, smiling devilishly. Koharu held all her questions in her mind. Sayumi's lips inched closer to her neck, her fangs were revealed.
Koharu screamed loudly, an echo piercing into the sky.
"Yes, I'll speak to Reina about it." Maki closed the conversation by heading outside. Reina followed her, grinning. At least she didn't have to stay in that building anymore. "Oh, hi Reina."

Rondo (Chapter Sixteen: Rush)
Ai felt weak all over. Her knees were buckling and she had to hold onto Risa for support. Of course she would be a little frail, but not like this. All of a sudden, a surge ran through Ai's body, her eyes turning dark. She ogled her trainer, who was flabbergasted and bewildered by the sudden change.
"Oh...crap." Reina muttered, gaping at her trainee. Her eyes expanded in size as she tried to swallow down the lump in her throat. "Ai-chan, are you okay?" Risa finally questioned the transformed girl. The shorter girl quickly nodded her head in reply, "Ah, yes, now let's get this thing over with." She pulled away from Risa and walked down the sidewalk, leaving the two trainers in shock.
"What the heck just happened right now?" Risa whispered to Reina, confused at what just happened. Reina was too busy observing the weaker trainee. Her lips were taut and pale, her eyes narrowing. "I don't know, she must have gotten those demon vibes, I have to ask Maki about this." She followed Ai, who was already walking faster than normal. Risa scrunched her eyebrows in confusion, tilting her head in response.
Ai, on the other hand, seemed like she was weaving in and out of her current strong and weak state. It was like she was repeatedly having a glitch. She felt like she could sense something strange, something that could be dangerous. Reina now understood what was happening, nodding her head. "What? What's wrong with her Reina?" Risa asked, trying to be as calm as possible.
"I...I'm not sure, she's having some sort of glitch I suppose." Reina replied, being shaken by the Reaction Queen. "WHAT? We need to go help her." Risa ran over to Ai, who was now kneeling and panting heavily. Reina also ran over to help Ai up, but Ai didn't budge. "Eh? Ai-chan, are you okay?"
"I-I am fine." Ai muttered, slowly getting up. "Let's go." She murmured darkly, looking for a target. "How about....him then?" Reina pointed to a guy leaning on a pillar and staring off into space. "Nope, give me a harder one." "Oh, just do it, he's not doing anything." Reina rolled her eyes. Risa could see a glint in Ai's dark brown orbs. Something was definitely wrong.
"Fine." A smirk played on Ai's lips as she walked over to the spacey man. "Did she just-" "I really need to talk to Maki about this." Reina interrupted, her eyes following after Ai's every move. "You didn't even give me a chance to-" "Oh yes, it's a demon glitch alright." "Demon glitch?" Risa was still puzzled at everything.
The man cried, unconscious. "Humans." Ai snickered, licking her lips. "Are you sure you're alright Ai?" Reina questioned, noticing that her eyes were completely dark. Risa was almost afraid to touch her. Then, she returned to normal, shaking her head. "I thought I told you guys I was fine." Ai put her arms around her head.
"Risa, take Ai home." Reina was sure to give out instructions before heading to the abandoned building. Risa nodded furiously, walking over to Ai. "It looks like she's alright." Reina noted, heading over to the hideout to find Maki.
**************************************************************************************************
"Where's Koharu?" Sayumi asked to nobody in particular. She was sitting at the park bench alone. Even though it was 2:30 PM, Sayumi wanted to be there earlier so her mentee wouldn't have thought that she was late. Sayumi took out her phone to call her, but she put it back in her purse. "I don't need to worry about her, she will come." Sayumi closed her eyes until she heard something buzz past her.
"BEE?" Sayumi shouted randomly, looking around the park. The other people stared at her with an odd look on their faces, some had their eyebrows scrunched together, others looked puzzled. "What? Haven't you seen a girl shout 'bee' before?" Sayumi rolled her eyes and went back to closing them.
Michishige......
"What the?" Sayumi was now internally panicking. "Who-who is it?" She whispered with a tremor in her voice.
Michishige...
"What?!?" Sayumi blinked, and a shadow appeared in front of her. She was shocked at the image that had appeared in front of her. That wasn't Koharu!
Michishige....
Before Sayumi could say anything, everything turned black.
"Oh...crap." Reina muttered, gaping at her trainee. Her eyes expanded in size as she tried to swallow down the lump in her throat. "Ai-chan, are you okay?" Risa finally questioned the transformed girl. The shorter girl quickly nodded her head in reply, "Ah, yes, now let's get this thing over with."

Michishige......
"What the?" Sayumi was now internally panicking. "Who-who is it?" She whispered with a tremor in her voice.
Michishige...
"What?!?" Sayumi blinked, and a shadow appeared in front of her. She was shocked at the image that had appeared in front of her. That wasn't Koharu!
Michishige....
Before Sayumi could say anything, everything turned black.

Tear Drops (SNSD Fanfic Chapter One: Misery)
Rain poured outside the window, making a "pitter-patter" sound against the windowpane. Thunder boomed in the distance, letting out a little roll. A streak of lightning emerged in the scene, the white strip breaking into the foggy purple hue. Dark clouds formed in the sky, giving everyone below a warning that the thunderstorm was going to be much worse.
Lee Sunny sighed, already prepared with her flashlight and her pillow in hand. She wanted her Taeyeon, but she was already with Tiffany, her best friend. Sunny gripped at the pillow, her eyes blazing at the thunderous scene outside. "Tiffany..." she muttered under her breath, another erupt of thunder rolled into the scene. Tears fell from her dark brown orbs, landing on the soft and comfortable pillow.
It was time for the little bunny to cry, she was scared and nervous. Her lips were trembling and tingling, and Sunny put her hand over her mouth to try not to scream. Her phone started ringing, Sunny's eyes expanding in response as she ran over to the phone that lie peacefully on her bed. Quickly flipping open the phone, Sunny noticed that the message was from Taeyeon:
Sunny~
Are you scared over there? Do you need me to come get you?
As a matter of fact, I'll come over there now.
Taeyeon
A small smile had appeared on Sunny's lips. She held the pillow to her body, closing her eyes. The bunny had feelings for Taeyeon, and she was jealous that she hangs out with Tiffany. Under Sunny's dark brown orbs, they would be filled with sweetness, but when it came to Tiffany, they would be filled with rage.
Repetitive knocking was heard from far away, and Sunny immediately opened the door. "Sunny!" The dorky leader greeted the bunny, closing her umbrella and hugging her. "Taeyeon!" Sunny hugged her tighter. The two hugged for a long time until Sunny finally let go. The roll of thunder had faded away, lightning didn't appear for a while, but the rain was still pouring.
"You can let me go now," Taeyeon went to her usual spot on Sunny's couch. "I have to tell you some great news." Sunny's eyes lit up, sitting next to Taeyeon. "I have something to say too." Sunny hesitantly spoke, looking down at her thumbs. "Tiffany and I..." Taeyeon paused. Sunny could tell that this wasn't going to be good news for her. "Tiffany and I are together Sunny, isn't that awesome!" The dorky leader shouted excitedly. "Yeah, I guess so." Sunny replied, letting out a nervous giggle.
"So what was it you wanted to tell me?" Taeyeon looked at the bunny questioningly. Words pondered in Sunny's mind, she couldn't confess to her now. "It's nothing." Sunny replied, her orbs turning into sadness. Silence filled the air for a moment, the rain seemed to calm down and the skies were clear. "The rain has cleared up, I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Taeyeon smiled cheerfully, grabbed her umbrella, and walked to the door. Sunny followed, gingerly opening the door and waved goodbye, closing the door after Taeyeon exited her house.
Sunny could feel her heart breaking like glass shattering all over the floor.

Oyasumi #20
Koharu was amped. She didn't like being alone sitting on a bench doing nothing at the park. She wanted to work, or at least socialize with somebody. "Where's Sayumi?" Koharu grunted under her breath, scanning the park for her former mentor. She would bother Sayumi at times, and it was fun messing with her, and most of the time she would have been at the park by now.
"What was that about?" A familiar voice came from nowhere. Koharu shuddered and turned around. She was face to face with a girl who had the same personality as her. "Oh, LinLin." Koharu blushed, the heat increasing in her cheeks. She was puzzled as to why she felt this way, but there was something about LinLin that she adored. "So, why are you sitting here? Normally, you would want to do work!" It was true, Koharu did want to work most of the time.
"I have nothing else to do." Koharu replied, swallowing. "Oh come on Koharu, tell me what's going on with you!" LinLin put her hand on Koharu's shoulder, making her blush even more. "You sure are hyper aren't you?" Koharu knew it was a stupid question to ask, especially to LinLin. "You're the same way." LinLin giggled, pointing to the younger. "Yes, yes, I know." Koharu waved her hand, mentally trying to calm herself.
"Koharu," LinLin looked down, slowly inching closer to Koharu. Weird questions suddenly popped in her mind like fireworks, but she didn't know which ones to ask Koharu. "Is there something on your mind?" Koharu was jolted out of her senses. She didn't know that LinLin would ask such a thing. "Well...yeah..." She replied hesitantly.
Moving all the way closer until she was beside Koharu's side, LinLin put her head on Koharu's shoulder. Confused at the sudden gesture, Koharu's face was now crimson. "Hmm..I have another question," LinLin's words were muffled, but Koharu could understand what she was questioning. "You like me."
"That wasn't a question, that was more like a statement!" A surge ran through Koharu's body as she jumped up from the bench. "Aha, so you do like me." LinLin grinned, pointing a finger to the younger. "H-How did you know?" Koharu gulped, but LinLin started laughing. Koharu was puzzled and asked, "What's so funny?"
"Oh, Koharu, you're so easy to read underneath your funny and sweet exterior." LinLin replied. "So...what does that mean? Do you like me too? What?" Koharu was probably asking a billion questions, but she wanted to know how LinLin would respond.
"Yes, Koharu...I like you a lot." Koharu didn't know what she was doing after that. All that happened was when Koharu gave LinLin a light kiss on the lips. However, LinLin returned the kiss, except this time, it was much longer.
It was getting a little late, and Koharu needed to be home by 9 PM. "I need to go, I'll see you tomorrow okay LinLin?" "Alright, bye Koharu."
'Am I really that easy to read?' Koharu thought to herself when she opened the door to her house.
"What was that about?" A familiar voice came from nowhere. Koharu shuddered and turned around. She was face to face with a girl who had the same personality as her. "Oh, LinLin." Koharu blushed, the heat increasing in her cheeks. She was puzzled as to why she felt this way, but there was something about LinLin that she adored. "So, why are you sitting here?

Oyasumi #19
It was unusual to see Tsugunaga Momoko pissed. Normally, the second oldest girl of Berryz Koubou would be full of energy and hyper. But Momoko was opposite today. Glaring at the pink cellphone decorated with peach stickers, she perused through her contacts. She had all the Berryz's phone numbers, Morning Musume's phone numbers, she even had C-ute's phone numbers, but there was something that was missing. Somebody that made Momoko even more pissed just thinking about it.
Her name was Ishimura Maiha.
Momoko's palms grew sweaty due to gripping the bar tightly. Receiving weird reactions from the people in the train, Momoko pulled the brim of her hat over her eyes. Identity was very important in the idol world. She was very popular, so she must be hidden. But Momoko wasn't worried about that, she was worried about Maiha. She was wondering how she was doing in school, did she get good grades? Momoko was curious.
The train halted to a stop, Momoko was almost jerked out of her seat, she held onto her hat, but her phone slipped from her right hand. Noticing that the phone was gone, Momoko was internally panicking. As she stood up from her seat and searching for the misplaced phone, Momoko felt a tap on her shoulder. "Um...is this cellphone your's?" Momoko quickly sat back down in her seat as the train doors closed, and it headed to the next stop. She took the phone, but she didn't look up.
The other girl couldn't believe the girl's appearance. She felt like she had seen her somewhere before when she was in Berryz Koubou. She had always been her friend, helping her with her dance moves and even more. She had the urge to ask this girl about her identity, to see her Berryz Koubou friend and bandmate once again.
"Are you.."-the girl lowered her voice as she reached for Momoko's hand. "Tsugunaga Momoko?" Momoko gulped, sliding her phone in her purse. "Yes." she muttered back. A smile had appeared on the girl's lips, her dimples were showing. Momoko's eyes grew big at the girl's facial expression. "Maiha?" The train stopped again, and the two stood up to get off at their stop.
"I missed you!" The energetic Momoko shouted, tears emerging from her dark brown orbs. "I missed you too." Maiha cooed in her ear, hugging her. Shivers went down Momoko's spine in response. The two girls giggled as they stopped hugging, but then they were serious.
"I'm sorry I left, if my father hadn't interfered, I would still be here." Maiha forced a smile, but it didn't seem to work. "It's okay Maiha, I'm just glad to see you again," Momoko patted Maiha's shoulder. "I can't wait to tell the other Berryz about this." Momoko was about to reach for her cellphone, but Maiha grabbed her wrist. "I only wanted to see you." Momoko's cheeks were stained a peachy color. Maiha took Momoko's hands and squeezed them tightly.
Momoko didn't know what to do next, she couldn't speak. "I-I was..." She was suddenly interrupted with Maiha's lips that were pressed to her own. Thank goodness the two were in a hidden area, or they would be caught. Her lips were soft, Maiha finally pulled away.
Maiha slipped a piece of paper in Momoko's coat pocket. "Read that for me okay? I'll see you later!" She waved goodbye and she left. Momoko opened it, scanning the letter..
Dear Momoko,
Thank you for being there for me. Even when I was down, you were always there to pick me up. I would tell you about what's been going on in my life. You would nod and listen, giving me advice the next time I made the same mistake.
I would never forget those moments. You still remain in my mind and in my heart. Maybe it's because I didn't know I had these feelings for you. But later on while watching TV programs, you kept getting prettier and prettier, and I really did love you. I wanted to confess, but I thought I would never see you again.
I love you Momoko, I want to see you again.
Love,
Maiha
"I love you too Maiha..." Tears flowed down Momoko's cheeks. She wiped them away with her sleeve, pulling down the cap. She looked at the phone number that was at the bottom of the page, and Momoko programmed the number in her cellphone.
"I'm glad you didn't forget me, Maiha." She murmured before heading home.

Akai (Chapter Four: Crimson)
Crimson.
How did the background suddenly change? I thought I was relaxing at my house, with JunJun right beside me. I guess I fell asleep, but how? I put a hand over my eyes to shield the brightness that was coming in my direction. It almost blinded me, making me cover my eyes with my hands. It wasn't bright anymore, it went back to the regular red. "Eh? What the heck happened?" My eyes wandered for a moment. I looked behind me, but I couldn't see anybody. "Hmm..I guess I'm alone then." I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing what to do.
I felt a pair of arms slide around my waist, but for some reason, a smile appeared on my face. I was already familiar to this touch, and her head touched my shoulder. "Hello, Ai-chan." I could feel a blush appear on my cheeks, they were probably rosy. "Hi...JunJun." I replied, my cheeks were blazing now. I turned around, and like lightning, JunJun's lips were glued to mine. I wasn't surprised, since I was already used to it. It was a long time before we could pull away. I was still in her embrace, and we were cuddling.
But then, everything faded...just like that.
I slowly opened my eyes, seeing a certain panda with a blissful and peaceful expression. I looked at the bothersome clock, the shining numbers read 1 PM. I could feel JunJun's hand in mine, her fingers entwining. She woke up, a small smile painted her face. "It's one o' clock," I could feel my voice breaking. "Do you need to go anywhere?" JunJun was still gazing at me, but she shook her head minutes later. "No.." A pink hue stained her cheeks when she looked down.
"Did you have the same dream as me?" My eyes widened at the question before I could understand what she meant. "Yes." I replied, giggling. I had no idea why I was laughing, but JunJun was confused, and she took my other hand. "What's so funny?" "Oh nothing...it's..nothing." I was gazing at her too, trying to think of something else to say. It was still silent before JunJun finally questioned, "Do you have any bananas?" I nodded before JunJun ran out of my bedroom to the kitchen. "Wait!" I shouted a couple of seconds later, a little puzzled.
"Don't we have to talk about it?" I asked, sitting down on the couch. "Oh yes, we're going to talk about it, but I just needed to eat something first before our little discussion. "Alright then." I still looked down, my cheeks were probably crimson. "How did we fall asleep?" "Actually, you went to sleep first." JunJun started laughing, nearly choking on her banana. "Are you okay?" I patted her back. JunJun could only nod in response. "You were like, 'I'm sleepy JunJun, I'm sleepy.' And then, you closed your eyes. Surprisingly, I did the same too." JunJun explained. "Oh wow, um..so this led to that dream, and..." "Here we are now discussing it." JunJun finished the sentence.
"Um..okay, what to say," I twiddled with my thumbs, trying to let the words come out, but I couldn't. "Um...I enjoyed it." "I enjoyed it too." JunJun was about to lean but I heard a ding far away. I guess my phone was still in my room. "I should get that." I got up and went to my room, but the more steps I took, the more I could hear those dings. It made me cringe when I heard them. I know I should be getting used to it, but I still haven't. The tone is bothersome, and I don't like it. The other ringtones suck, so this one will take a while.
I went inside my room, grabbed my phone, and I walked out. I had missed 18 texts, but they were all from Risa this time. I rolled my eyes and sat next to JunJun. "Who was that, Reina?" She sounded like she was having an attitude. "No, that was Risa, my other friend," I replied. "Reina hijacked her phone." JunJun was silent, but she burst into laugher afterwards. "Well, I just got something from Sayu, she says she's lonely now." JunJun sighed. "Then I guess you're leaving?" I asked, standing up. JunJun did the same and I led her to the door. "Yeah, I am." JunJun replied, about to leave.
"Wait a minute..." JunJun wrapped her arms around me and our lips collided once again. She broke away and waved goodbye. I didn't get a chance to wave back because my lips were tingling. My phone dinged for the billionth time, and it was from Risa...more like Reina:
Saru-chan, we're coming over now!
....Now?

Oyasumi #18
Tick...tock...
Tick...tock..
Tick...tock...
Tick...tock...
Michishige Sayumi drummed her fingernails against the desk, making an odd clicking sound in return. Her eyes wandered around the silent, empty, white room. The only that was right in front of her was a desk, a pen, some paper, and the bothersome clock that was placed right next to her. She held the glistening sleek pen, staring at its figure. Narrowing her eyes, she looked down at the blank piece of paper in front of her. Her eyes then darted to the clock.
Tick...tock..
Tick...tock..
Tick...tock...
Tick...tock...
Why was she even here in the first place? She's here in this odd atmosphere, at a desk, pen in hand, and the vexatious clock that had awakened her out of her spacey state. Her drowsy eyes wandered back to the paper and it only told her to do one task:
Write about your feelings Sayumi.
The paper was obviously telling the bunny, no, demanding the bunny, to write about those feelings that she had kept deep down inside, especially in the most important place...her heart. She's never told anyone about the feelings that has been bottled up for a long time. Even though she puts on a smile, and doing her "Usa-chan Peace" sign, she's been all alone on the inside, and she doesn't know why. The started ticking even louder, which meant that Sayumi has to write about it. "Here goes..." A quiet whisper managed to escape from those little red lips.
My feelings...it's been quite a while since I've been keeping them deep down inside. So, like I said just before I started writing this, here we go.
When I was a little girl, I was constantly lonely. Every time I would ask someone if I could play, they would just laugh at me. Then I found pillbugs. I started talking to them, and they wouldn't reply. But I didn't care, because I liked to hold a conversation. Still, I would feel hurt about being lonely and seeing other kids being friends with each other. I never told anyone about those feelings.
Then I met Kamei Eri. She was the new girl in junior high, and I felt like I had the audacity to become friends with her. She was a very shy girl with long, black hair. People would call her "Kame". She would shrug and go back to her seat, not speaking for the rest of the class period. She was even quieter than me, which was unusual. However, there was a bubbly aura around her, and it drew me closer to her. I got to speak with her, and I showed her around the school. We got to know each other, and we have some things in common.
A few months later, another new girl transferred in junior high. Her name was Tanaka Reina. She was known as the "Yankii", but she would deny being called the nickname. But her appearance was like a yankii; the hoodie, jeans, gymshoes, and various accessories proved it. She was officially the "cool girl" in the school. I didn't like her. I hated her. I despised her. She was disgusting me. Eri's drool expression whenever Reina glanced at her would leave me battered and bruised on the inside. On the outside, I kept myself together. But whenever I got home, I broke down immediately.
I didn't know how much I love that girl until now. I was there to defend her when Reina wasn't there with us. I would compliment on the new hairstyles. She's a pretty girl. I love her, I really love her. In fact, I love her so much, I've been wanting to confess to her for a long time. But since my feelings are bottled up, there was no way I could have told her.
She has Reina, the yankii, she doesn't need me.
DING!
The clock startled Sayumi. A tiny squeak emerged, a metal clank hit the hard surface. The door slowly opened, and a taller, younger girl stepped in the white room, a shorter woman right behind her. "Michishige, please take your paper with you, you are dismissed." Confused, Sayumi held on to the light object and left the room. Someone took her in that room. They knew something suspicious was going on with her, and they wanted to find out. Sayumi looked at the paper again, and decided to go back to relaxing at her own home.
Unlocking the door to her house, she knew it would be a mess due to all the pulling, pushing and kicking that resulted as damaging the walls. She locked the door behind her. She felt a surge of anger rush through her body, slamming the piece of paper on the dining room table that had a bunch of scratch marks.
She turned the shower on, steam coming from the curtain. Sayumi didn't care if she was going to burn, she was too upset about the sight of Reina and Eri together. Tears formed in her eyes, but they were still dark. "Reina..." she muttered as she stepped in the shower.
Steam started clouding her eyes, the intense, burning, heat that danced all over her skin. "She doesn't need me anymore." Sayumi started getting dizzy due to the steam. She pressed her hands on the wall for support, but she slowly started to sink as her eyelids had no choice but to close.
************************************************************************
Kamei Eri was walking in the long hallway to Sayumi's apartment, holding the key she gave her. The two had shared an apartment for a while until Reina told her to move in with her. Now all that was shattered. Eri had completely broken up with Reina because she was seeing another girl. Eri's heart ached for a long time, but she was glad that she broke up with her. Because there was special bunny on her mind.
Sayumi...
As Eri unlocked the door, the sound of a shower was running in the bathroom. Puzzled, Eri followed the steam trail to the bathroom, slowly opening the door. Even more steam burst out, Eri covering her eyes in the process. She peeked through the curtain and noticed Sayumi.
"SAYUMI!" Eri shouted, grabbing on to her. She didn't care how hot the water was, it almost stinged her, but she didn't care. She turned the water off, and took her to the living room. "Sayumi, Sayumi, wake up!" Eri couldn't think of anything else to do. "Eri." Sayumi moaned, smiling a little bit. Eri was too shocked, but she helped the bunny go to her bedroom, telling her to put on some clothes.
While she was waiting she looked at the paper on the table. Her eyes widened with ten times more shock that she had before. She recalled all those memories with Sayumi, they were known as "Usa-chan and Kame". The two bonded so well. Eri had a crush on Reina for a long time, and the two eventually started going out in high school. Eri knew Sayumi was acting weird, but she was so oblivious at the time.
Eri had the same feelings for Sayumi when her and Reina's relationship was going downhill. Sayumi comforted her through everything. Why didn't she noticed this before?
"Sayumi, I love you too." Eri said a little too loudly. A certain bunny was right there in the foyer, staring at her. "What?" Eri could tell that Sayumi was now fully awake. "I love you." Eri repeated, running to the puzzled bunny. "You-you do?" Before Eri could answer the question, she quickly kissed Sayumi on the lips.
Sayumi wanted more. She was hungry for those curled lips. She deepened the kiss, showing how much she loved Eri. Eri wasn't really surprised, but now that the two are together, the timing was perfect.
There was just one thing on that sheet that stood out to Eri:
I'll always wait for you to come to me Eri, you know I'm there for you....
Tick...tock..
Tick...tock...
Tick...tock...
Michishige Sayumi drummed her fingernails against the desk, making an odd clicking sound in return. Her eyes wandered around the silent, empty, white room. The only that was right in front of her was a desk, a pen, some paper, and the bothersome clock that was placed right next to her. She held the glistening sleek pen, staring at its figure. Narrowing her eyes, she looked down at the blank piece of paper in front of her. Her eyes then darted to the clock.
Tick...tock..
Tick...tock..
Tick...tock...
Tick...tock...
Why was she even here in the first place? She's here in this odd atmosphere, at a desk, pen in hand, and the vexatious clock that had awakened her out of her spacey state. Her drowsy eyes wandered back to the paper and it only told her to do one task:
Write about your feelings Sayumi.
The paper was obviously telling the bunny, no, demanding the bunny, to write about those feelings that she had kept deep down inside, especially in the most important place...her heart. She's never told anyone about the feelings that has been bottled up for a long time. Even though she puts on a smile, and doing her "Usa-chan Peace" sign, she's been all alone on the inside, and she doesn't know why. The started ticking even louder, which meant that Sayumi has to write about it. "Here goes..." A quiet whisper managed to escape from those little red lips.
My feelings...it's been quite a while since I've been keeping them deep down inside. So, like I said just before I started writing this, here we go.
When I was a little girl, I was constantly lonely. Every time I would ask someone if I could play, they would just laugh at me. Then I found pillbugs. I started talking to them, and they wouldn't reply. But I didn't care, because I liked to hold a conversation. Still, I would feel hurt about being lonely and seeing other kids being friends with each other. I never told anyone about those feelings.
Then I met Kamei Eri. She was the new girl in junior high, and I felt like I had the audacity to become friends with her. She was a very shy girl with long, black hair. People would call her "Kame". She would shrug and go back to her seat, not speaking for the rest of the class period. She was even quieter than me, which was unusual. However, there was a bubbly aura around her, and it drew me closer to her. I got to speak with her, and I showed her around the school. We got to know each other, and we have some things in common.
