"Mio-chuan~" An energetic brunette is seen skipping on the side walk.

"Ritsu, what are you doing here?"

"ahaha~ what are you saying? My house is this way too. Ah~ what am I gonna do with you, Mio?" Ritsu puts a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"ah. I guess with exams coming up, I've been kinda out of it".

"Yeah, yeah. Hey, wanna go over to my place to study? Come on! It'll be fun!" grabbing onto Mio's arm, Ritsu puts on her best grin.

"Hm…I guess that's not a bad idea…..wait a minute." Mio's narrows down on Ritsu.

"Huh? Nani?"

"Nothing…it's just that whenever we do a study session together, you always goof off and we end up not getting anything done".

"Ah! I promise to study really hard this time! Please Mio-sensei!" Ritsu continues to plead as she puts on her best puppy dog eyes.

*blush* " Ah Jeez, Ritsu! You have to learn to do things yourself!" Mio begins to walk off as Ritsu begins to chase after her.

"Mio~~~"

They reached Mio's home within a matter of minutes and Ritsu continues to ask for a study session together. But Mio was still insistent on them studying alone this time around. Ritsu was defeated and began 'dragging' herself home.

"Don't forget to do foot notes on chapter 4, Ritsu" Mio calls out.

"Yeah, yeah…" waving behind her.

Five blocks away from her home, Ritsu begins to think about her situation.

"Ah~ Mio's so mean. I really wanted to be with her…." Ritsu halts to a stop "huh? What the heck did I just say? I mean 'Do a study session together!' Jeez, what was I saying anyways?"

But before Ritsu could proceed walking home, she hears a loud scream from behind. A woman was robbed and a hooded man was sprinting towards her direction with a purse in one hand, and a knife in the other.

"Holy shi-!" before Ritsu was able to turn around fully, or even finish her sentence; she felt a sharp pain go through her body. She falls to the ground clutching onto her chest. Ritsu could feel something warm and wet.

"Guh! What the hell was that? My chest hurts like hell, and I'm starting to get dizzy too...huh? That lady that had her purse stolen...what? I can't hear you...why are you talking so quietly?..." Random thoughts start to run through Ritsu's mind as she begins to lose consciousness. "I don't think I'll be able to go to school tomorrow, or practice...Sawa-chan's gonna be angry... Maybe I should go the hospital.…Man, that cake Mugi brought today was really good….what am I saying? Ow...My chest…hurts...so much...…..Mio…."

Darkness…
