~Episode 2: My Best Friend's A Killer!~

As Shiori lied in bed, she tried to remember all of the events last night. She wanted to see if anything stood out enough to make it a dream and not reality,which she refused to believe. To begin with, Isano-sensei, her gym teacher, had green streaks in his hair.

That already didn't seem normal. Isano-sensei had pitch black hair and no streaks what so ever. Teacher weren't allowed to have them.

Nana, the mysterious killer, knew her name. Isano-sensei, whom she heard Nana call "Tsukinyo", was extremely violent. Shiori smiled to herself and chuckled a bit. She can safely admit she might have been attacked that night, but she assumes that she got out alright and when she got home, passed out and dreamed that whole thing up.

"Well this will be one fun story to tell the girls." Shiori said as she got out of bed. Suddenly, she heard something. Shiori lived in a dorm by herself yet she can hear talking outside. Shiori tried to hear the voice and she heard Emi's voice! She was upset about something cause she was yelling but Shiori couldn't make it out. Shiori started to look around the room and recognized it as Emi's dorm room at Lunaversity! Shiori slowly opened the door and stepped out as quietly as she could. Shiori could hear the fight a lot more clearly.

"We can't just erase her memory Emi. You know that means you would have to leave her and you're her best friend." Shiori recognized the voice as her history teacher, Nakayomi-sensei. Why was she here? And more importantly, why was Emi trying to erase her memory!

"I know Hoshihime but I can't drag Shiori into this. I refuse!" Shiori could hear Emi crying a bit. 'Drag me into what?' Shiori thought. Shiori and Emi have been best friends since they started school together, Emi told her everything. Or so she thought.

"We have to tell Ora...I'll plead with her to show Shiori mercy and hopefully Shiori won't say or do anything. How is our little Shiori?" Hoshihime asked.

"She recovered alright but she should still be in pretty bad shock. I wouldn't be surprised if she skipped school today." Tsukinyo said with a sigh. 'That's right...Isano-sensei was there...' Shiori remembered how Tsukinyo attacked those men and protected her.

"Tsu-chan...Hoshi-chan...can I skip school today too? I wanna take care of Shiori." Emi said. Shiori poked her head around the corner and saw the three of them sitting in the living room and Emi was crying with her head down. Tsukinyo rubbed her back and Hoshihime smiled at her.

"Of course,want me to inform Mitasuki-chan about where you two are?" Hoshihime asked sweetly. Emi just nodded her head and wiped her eyes.

"I knew this would happen...I knew those two were gonna get hurt eventually." Hoshihime's gentle smile disappeared and was replaced with a sadden frown. Shiori could of sworn she saw regret in that smile too.

"No one knew about this Emi. Not even I! Sometimes people we love get into the cross-fire but that usually resulted in them dying. Shiori is lucky you were there and saved her in time." Emi looked up at Hoshihime and looked over at Tsukinyo.

"She's right. In this business,everything is random," Tsukinyo said standing up and pulling out a cigarette.

"Tsu-chan you've been in this business less then I have!" Emi retorted a bit mad.

"Yeah but it's a lot like gangs. And I know about gang activity." Tsukinyo replied with a bit of acid on his words. Emi remained silent and lowered her head again. Hoshihime stood up with a sigh and all eyes were on her again.

"Well, I'm going to head on over to Ora's place and inform her of this situation and hopefully Shiori will walk away unharmed and she can just say this was a crazy dream." Shiori saw Emi smile that was filled with sadness. Tsukinyo just nodded his head and sat next to Emi. Hoshihime then turned and left the dorm.

"Tsu-chan...you can't stay here much longer,when Shiori wakes up,she'll want to know why you're here." Emi said rubbing her eyes. She started crying again.

"OK,you got a story for her?" Tsukinyo asked getting up.

"I'll think of something. I'll call you if there is any change in plans." Tsukinyo nodded at Emi's orders and left the room.

Shiori was in total shock. There is no way in all the 7 hells that Emi, her Emi, the same Emi she grew up with, Emi Fuuyoshi, was the serial killer! Emi can't kill anything! She loves living things too much! She cries for the criminals for Christ's sake! And Nakayomi-sensei,or Hoshihime, was also in on this? And Isano-sensei,or Tsukinyo! Shiori couldn't handle all the new information and soon the room started to spin. The colors blurred into one and the last thing Shiori heard was her name being called by a voice she no longer knew.
