Italicized words and underlined words are for two people: The eventual murderer and the knowing third-party.

Saying nothing,

"Daichi!" Io called out, looking at the brunet having a lively conversation with a female albino. She frowned slightly, looking at the male who simply ignored her calls. Her friend named Hibiki realized this and went over to thwack Daichi on the shoulders. Pointing at Io's direction, Daichi, Hibiki and the new girl hurriedly went over. Daichi apologized, bowing his head. "Sorry about that Io. I just met an old friend. Io meet Miyako Hotsuin. She's the sister of Yamato."

I bit my lip

"Greetings Io Nitta. I heard so much about you from Shijima." The female bowed. Wearing a black dress, the teen had pale skin and purple eyes. Io also bowed, returning the smile she saw from Miyako. "I see. Hi Miyako. Can I borrow Daichi first? We really need to study for our exams right Daichi?"

I really wanted you to stop

"I understand. I also have to go and find for my air-headed classmate. See you later then Shijima." Miyako's voice was sweet and innocent. Turning around, Io watches her leave as two teens converse. Facing Hibiki with a goofy smile, Daichi pulls out a thumbs-up at the raven. The raven was also watching Miyako leave, a frown visible. Hibiki asked in an annoyed face. "What were you doing with Miyako-chan, Daichi? I thought we were going to review for our exam...?"

Although I saw you walk with her,

"Dude! I think this is my moment!" That made both teens surprised. Hibiki looked at the side, lighting blue eyes staring at Io. Io was always sensitive about this sort of topics. Looking back at the scarf teen, Hibiki replied back in a humorous hint, "Daichi. Don't forget about her over-protective brother. Though he might not look healthy, I swear to Byakko's name that he will hunt you down with his massive yakuza influence all around Japan and who knows? Different parts of the world."

Yet I merely gazed at you.

"You-You sure Daichi? I-I mean... You just met her today right?" Io asked with a stutter. Daichi thinks it's because of his sheer randomness. However, Daichi had to do a little confession to make. These two are his best of friends. They've been best friends ever since daycare. Looking at his friends, Hibiki doesn't seem to like the idea of him and Miyako while Io was too speechless to show any other emotion.

I didn't want to get left behind.

"Okay guys. Miyako and I go way back in Elementary. We were pen pals that turned to playmates in the local arcade. We stopped meeting each other before I went to high school since her parents wanted her to go to China." Daichi explained. Hibiki and Io nodded, both seems to have understood the context. Daichi sighed, "Good. So can you guys help me out in my studies? I really need to impress her and persuade her that gaming won't affect anyone's studies."

I shouldn't cry, but I really want to...

"Fine, but don't go without telling us next time. Though impressing people has always been Hibiki's job. See how easy Hibiki makes the tests look." Io accused with a pout. Hibiki just laughed, denying the allegations. Daichi also didn't believe the teen, making a raspberry sound. While the trio walked together, discussing the topics to be tackled for the exam...

Someone was plotting a murder.

Guys, your task will be to monitor the characters and who will be the murderer at the end of the story. Akai-kami and I have formulated this, she's very gruesome yet comedic type of author... Also influenced some of my stories with her innuendos that I have yet to figure. ;n;
