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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
