It was last year of school for the gang, and everyone kept talking about how they couldn't wait to Graduate, it seemed as though everyone was together in one room again, and under their favorite English teacher Yukari. Though it was this lunch period it was Chiyo to notice the new comer in the back. She looked at the as girl sat by herself, she stood up and she appeared to be the same height as Sakaki, she had blue eyes and her hair was short and spiky a bit it was black. Everyone noticed Chiyo- chan staring and turned as well "Oh it's the new girl" Yomi said adjusting her glasses, "We should go over and greet her" Chiyo said and was about to walk over but it was Osaka pulling her back which stopped "Wait Chiyo-chan she might try to suck your blood I heard she was a vampire" Osaka said, Chiyo looked at her "Vampire…I don't like vampires.. They scare me" Chiyo-chan said and started to shake. "Wow a vampire" Tomo said excited "Lets stake her in the heart." "You two there no such things as vampires.. Those are most likely rumors" Yomi said agitated a bit, "Umm I dunno looks at the water bottle" Kagura said pointing to it. As they looked they noticed tat the water bottle had a red substance in it.

At the sight of that they all moved out to the class room where they encountered Yukari who was on her way to eat lunch with Nyamo. "Miss Yukari" Chiyo said, she turned around "Yes Chiyo?" she asked looking down smiling a bit "Is it true about the new student" she asked trembling some. Yukari looked at her "What about her?" she asked "Is she really a vampire" Tomo asked, Yukari smiled "Why of course… why do you think she sits in a dark corner and has the blood bottle.. Now if that's all I'm going to eat lunch... I was lucky and put Garlic in it see you girls" She said and hopped off. "Garlic?" Chiyo-chan said "Yes Garlic is to believe to drive vampires away" Tomo replied, They all looked each other and head for the lunch room for some Garlic bread. The girls observed the new girl of the next few days taking notes; they had found out that her name was Kuro Raikou. They were outside in their free time talking "I told you she was a vampire" Osaka said, they had come to conclusion it was true, because they noticed she was good at sports, she never ate anything, she didn't even swim and she didn't like the smell of garlic. Plus Yukari had told them of a conversation in English she had and she was able to out do Yukari and it was always she was always in the shade and never spoke to anyone.

It was Nyamo who passed by "What's do I hear about a vampire?" she asked looking at them "Coach it's the new girl Kuro... She's a vampire ya better watch ya back she might try to bite you" Kagura said Nyamo looked at them "She's not a vampire girls" she said rubbing her head "Who told you that" she asked. "Well Miss Yukari and we've got evidence to prove she's a vampire" Osaka said nodding her head, Nyamo sighed "Trust me girls Kuro is not a vampire... she's a new student with no friend why don't you try talking to her" Nyamo said and they agreed they would talk to her. It was later that day Chiyo-chan was walking when her book flew out of her hands as she went to pick it up she watched as a pale hand picked it up, she slowly stood up and looked it was indeed Kuro. She held the book out in her hand and Chiyo-chan took it looking at her she looked into her eyes and closed her own "Please don't' bite me" she said holding her neck, Kuro tilted her head "you have something in your ear" she said and she went over and pulled something out it was actually a piece of chocolate Chiyo-chan looked at her "Wow how did you do that" she said as Kuro gave her the piece of chocolate "I learn magic in my spare time" she replied and walked off. Chiyo-chan smiled and went to the classroom

It was after school and Kuro was at the pool with Nyamo "Don't worry none of the kids know" she said" she looked at Kuro she was already in. Kuro was a bit reluctant but she entered the pool "Don't worry Kuro I wont' let anything happen" Nyamo said. The reason Kuro hadn't' been swimming was because she didn't' have a swim suit till today and she was deadly afraid of water and couldn't swim. So Nyamo was teaching her, after the lesson Nyamo was watching her dry her hair with the towel, she seen the look of sadness in her eyes "Hey I've seen that' look before what's up" she said standing beside Kuro "Today.. I heard the rumor I was a vampire and that's why everyone is avoiding me" she said, Nyamo nodded "It's just a rumor it'll pass once you get some friends" she said , Kuro nodded and then looked at the time "Oh I need to go to marital arts club see ya Ms. Kurosawa" Kuro said and ran out the door. Nyamo smiled she decided she would stick around and check Kuros club out. As Nyamo watched she was amazed the girl was very graceful in Kata and when in sparing she was like a tiger. At the end Nyamo and Kuro were talking, Nyamo offered Kuro a ride home and she accepted. As they were walking to Nyamo car it was Yukari who stood in between them "Don't worry Nyamo I got your back. Back, Back you evil blood sucking creature of the night" Yukari said she was holding up a cross and garlic at Kuro, Kuro looked at Nyamo "Umm Ms. Kurosawa I'll just walk" she said and started to sprint off. "Yukai what the heck was that for" Nyamo yelled. "I can't believe it I just saved your ass and your growling at me instead of praising that vampire was sure going to drink your blood" Yukari said. Nyamo sighed "I can't believe you believe that"

It was later that evening around dusk, Kagura was out on her nightly jog, and she was at her stopping point to turn around she was taking a breather when she heard something,

"Kuro"

"Yes?"

Don't do that it hurts"

"But you like it"

"Please don't bite neck... Please"

"Why"

"Because my neck is sore for last night"

"Alright"

Kagura eyes widened and she turned around when she did she seen a shadow walking toward her, her mind began to race with fear and then she stepped back bumping into someone she looked back and seen it was Kuro then she blacked out. When Kagura woke she looked around she was on the couch of her living room "Ah Kagura you finally awake sweety" her mother said, she sat up and in front of her sitting with a cup was Kuro. "Kuro said you fainted she brought you hear and gave you some Gatorade" her mother said, Kagura looked at a cup beside her and the juice was red "you were dehydrated... and in your current state you panicked" Kuro said she stood up "But I'll go now, since your awake" she said and started out the door, Kagura jumped up and ran after her. She was outside she Kagura stopped her

"Hey wait… how did you know where I lived?"

"I live next door"

How did you do I was dehydrated?"

"Because of your symptoms and I've dehydrated one to many times myself

"But.. I heard earlier an the neck"

"Play rehearsal"

Kuro produced a copy of the script and Kagura looked at it the Title was actually Kuro and it was about a vampire. "That's Kuro" Kagura said smiling "It was nothing I couldn't' just leave my class mate like that… It would be wrong" she said, Kagura then looked at her as she started to leave "Do you think we could walk to school together in the morning?" she asked, Kuro turned around and smiled "I'd like that" she replied and left. In the morning Kuro and Kagura walked to school and they talked Kagura now had a new rival as well Kuro. At lunch time it went like normal the gang sat in the classroom eating and Chiyo-chan watched Kuro look out the window not eating, it was common now for Chiyo-chan to go over and talk to her, she watched Kuro put her head on the desk and she walked over "Kuro are you feeling alright today?" Chiyo chan asked, Kuro looked up and smiled she nodded "yes just starving" she replied taking out her bottle of Gatorade that Kagura had confirmed Chiyo-chan smiled "I...I..." she didn't' finish her sentence when she brought out a second container "I made too much this morning and I notice you never eat so I was wondering if you would like this "she said. Kuro rose and looked at he container of food "wow that looks really good… sure" she said smiling.

At that moment Tomo looked over "the vampire has Chiyo-chan" she said, and next to her was a silver cross. Two things vampire hated silver and a cross, the cross had been in the sun all day and Tomo threw it at Kuro "Stay away form her evil being" she yelled, Kuro turned and the crossed hit her in head she stumbled backward "Ahh it burn it burns" Kuro screamed and ran down the hall "Tomo that's wasn't' nice I think you hurt her" Chiyo-chan said and ran after Kuro, Kagura seen her in the bathroom room an she was shocked to see what looked like an imprint of a cross in her forehead " Play?" she asked Kuro rubbed her head and then shook it "Tomo" she replied and left. Kagura sighed "I'm going to beat her up when I see" her said and started back to the classroom. Later that evening Kagura was waiting after school to walk Kuro home she stopped by to see her in club she was amazed as she watched Kuro "Wow" she said Kuro looked over she smiled some "hey" she said and walked over to her "They weren't lying when they said you were the best" she said Kuro went to the locker room and Kagura followed and waited for her, Once out Kuro looked at her "I'm not the best.. Not even close" she said silently. Kagura looked at her she seen something in her eyes that resembled sadness "Hey Kuro I'm sorry if I said something" she said, "don't worry about it" She replied smiling slightly.

It was later that evening around dinner time When Kagura though about asking her parents about Kuros parents since she had never seen anyone next door "mom… what about Kuros parents I've don't' think I've ever seen them out" she said "That's because you wont'… I heard her mom and dad are over seas… I heard they shipped her here and they would come later" her mother replied. Kagura stood there and leaned against the wall Is that why she's so sad? She's always seems so distant and lonely Kagura thought, She then smiled "Hey mom… I know it's like a sudden rush but do you think it would be okay if I invited Kuro over for dinner?" she asked "sure I think it would be a good idea" she said. Kagura nodded and she ran out the door over to Kuros house knocking. It was a moment and after a minute she wondered if anyone was that was until the door opened and Kuro was seen "Kagura?" she said. Kagura smiled "Hey Kuro I know it's sorta last minute but I wanted to know if you would like to come over for dinner?" Kagura asked. Kuro smiled "Thanks but I don't want to be a burden" she said. Kagura had to think of something "Please… My mom is actually expecting you just this once..." Kagura said giving a puppy eyes, Kuro couldn't' help but laugh "Alright I'll come. "Great dinner start now" she said smiling.

Another week passed and the gang came up to Kuro at the end of the day on their free period. She looked at them a bit cautious because they had her surrounded "Kuro Raikou… we hear by declare you human" Tomo said, Kuro looked at them "Thanks?" she said smiling getting up. Nyamo smiled as she and Yukari watched "I'm glad they finally got over that stage" she said, Yukari was looking at the sky "Mhm" she said "Hey lets go drinking tonight..." she said happily. "Alright" Nyamo said "Just don't get too drunk" she said as they walked off. Kuro couldn't help but laugh at what the girls told her how they though she was a vampire and all the research they did. They were all walking to get some Ice crème when Kuro laughed to herself "You know you guys are right.. I am vampire" she said, they stopped and looked at her "Not a real vampire just in my ways... I kind of like that idea…" she said "Alright Kuro new nick name is Vampire" Tomo said... Everyone agreed and with that Kuro had finally been accepted she had finally made friends.
