"Four dead students… I just don't get it. Who is doing this? Why are they doing this?" An older looking Arcanine paced around a small room. About 15 high school students sat around the table. He slammed his hands on the table. "C'mon! You 15 were appointed dorm leaders to keep the students under control! We know it's somebody within the campus! How can you not know who is doing it?"
Some murmuring among the students started up. "How do we know it's a student?" asked one of them. She was a small Sandslash.
"Fira, We already discussed the odds of it being somebody outside of the school. It's slightly above 3.2%," said a Kadabra.
"Akura, we don't need your logic!" A Lucario summoned an aura sphere that floated above his palm. "We need force!"
"Let's stop arguing, kids!" The principal's annoyed voice rose out over all the others. The dorm heads all stopped bickering, and looked at the principal. "You are all required to report any suspicious activity to me, immediately. Am I clear?"
"Yes, we will."
"Of course, sensei."
"I guess…"
"Meeting dismissed." The Arcanine stood up and sat in the corner of the room, contemplating the issue at hand.
"See you, Fira."
"Yeah yeah. Baraya sensei is such a…"
"Weight-lifting tomorrow, Tsuyo?"
"You bet, bro. I can bench 340 now."
As the students left the room, the principal motioned for one of the students. "Rakachi. Need to talk to you."
"Yes, sensei?" The Vaporeon student head adjusted his glasses.
The Arcanine handed over a paper. "We've got a transfer for your dorm. Read it, please."

Transferring from Osaka
"Osaka?" The head blinked. "That's pretty far from here."
"Her mother moved here with her after a divorce. She'll be coming tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" exclaimed the head. "But…" He sighed. "I'll let Saki know."
The principal sighed. "Alright, take care of your students, Rakachi. I'm counting on all of you heads."
"Of course, sensei." He adjusted his glasses before leaving the principal to himself.

"What?! Tomorrow?" Saki Anako, a pretty Leafeon, glared at Ryuji.
He shrugged. "Not my problem. It's just Principal H."
The Leafeon pouted. "You always do this, Ryuji! Me and the girls were going to try eat at the new ramen place!"
"I'm sorry… I've got Kendo practice. Could you please welcome her?"
"Fine, fine." The Leafeon sighed. She yawned. "It's late. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight, Ryuji."
"Night, Saki."
He showered quickly and brushed his teeth. He looked at himself in the mirror. He rubbed his eyes, then crawled into his bed. The other males were all sleeping soundly. He looked at the clock on his nightstand. 11:13. Feels later than that. He stretched out on his bed. 1… 2… me… okay, they're all here. He sighed again. I sure hope I don't lose any more friends… to… them…
Alright. This story… is different… I hope.
