Belladonna Effect
Berry 1: Old Lady Rumour
Kanra: Neh, did you hear, supposedly there's a vampire Ikebukuro!
Tarō Tanaka: A vampire? Since when?
Kanra: About a month or so ago; there's been a rise in deaths, it's scary~! ;-;
Setton: It's probably another wild rumour, has anybody seen them?
Kanra: Aw, spoil sport~ Of course not! But it's been as good as solid~ Go see the news on channel 59, my proof is there! -
Tarō Tanaka: Ah, it's true! Setton-san, are you watching?
Setton: That's strange, only old men and homeless?
Kanra: Maybe they're a nice vampire~?
Tarō Tanaka: But aren't vampires supposed to be evil?
Kanra: Who knows~? ^.~
Kanra: Ah, have to go now, bye bye!
Setton: Me too, i have to leave soon for a place, see you later, Tarō Tanaka, Kanra.
Kanra: See you later~

"Mikado, stop being so uptight! It's only 8. Don't you agree, Anri-san? Kids should spend their nights
frolicking around before they become old geezers!"
"Ah, i- i guess..."
The trio huddled through the thick crowds, the horizon only barely yellow as day turned to night.
Mikado struggled to keep pace with the two, a few meters back.
"Masamoni-kun, why did we have to take this shortcut? Especially a red lig-"
Mikado was cut off as his breath was knocked out of him, and bottom now flat on the gravel.
"Oh... I apologize."
Mikado looked up and almost peed his pants as he did. A girl around their age stood over him with yellow gel bracelets swallowing her arms.
Her pale hand reached out in front of the fallen student, Mikado flinching as it descended.
I'm going to die!
"Hey, what do you think you're doing to Mikado?"
Masamoni glared thinly at the girl, now standing behind Mikado.
In all aspects, they did not expect what came next. Maybe an insult, some combat, but certainly not-
"I was helping him up."
A silence fell over the scene.
Masamoni took a good look at the yellow scarf.
She had messy auburn hair, loosely cut to her shoulder blades and seemed to not have been combed in a while, though the mussy look somehow looked attracting.
Dammit, why does that always come out at the wrong moments?
She wore an overly large black button up sweater that came almost to mid thigh, and dark skinny jeans.
Though it was then that he realized past her normality just what had scared his friend so much;
Two bright red orbs set in her eyes, seeming to make their own light as they stood fixtated on Mikado with some sort of...
Hunger.
"Kamu-chan! Stop running off! It's dangerous out here, geez!"
A voice called from behind the stranger, persumenly Kamu-chan.
It sounds familiar...
Masamoni mused, and as soon as Kamu-chan had appeared, she disappeared, molding into the crowds once more.
"-ado? Mikado!"
Anri called out to Mikado, who was helped up by Masamoni.
"A-ah? I'm fine."
Mikado stuttered, face pale from fear.
"I wonder who that was..."
Mikado muttered, tuned out by Masamoni's lectures on dangerous people.
Oh yeah, didn't Kanra say something about a vampire...vampire?
Had he just...right now, a monster...
Mikado swallowed on a rock in his throat, fear quickly turning into excitement.
"Masamoni, i think i met a vampire!"
The two paused.
...
"I- i think Mikado-san might have hit his head when he fell..."
