Rima POV,
I looked through my assignments, seven papers, seven targets. "So each target, one hour." I jumped off the roof and luckily, the first target, was down at the mall now. It's gonna be harder than fighting a vampire, this one is a werewolf. I walked around the mall for fifteen minutes and found nothing. I looked at the papers. "This would be much easier if the lights were on." I whispered to myself. I had Kusukusu with me so I didn't feel to much like alone.
Out of the corner of my eye I spotted something run past me, to fast to be a werewolf. One thought ran through my head, 'Vampire and Werewolf in the same place.' I chased after the vampire, but lost it after it turned the corner. I looked all around, but couldn't find it, I looked behind me and saw the werewolf and vampire. I ran for it, I can't take both of them on at the same time, it's like call for suiside.
I hid around the corner and pulled out my phone and dialed a number. "Um... boss," I whispered in to the phone. "A werewolf and vampire are in the same place, I'm going to need back up."
"Got it." I heard from the other end.
I hid for five minutes. I had only twenty minutes left to kill these creatures. I felt a hand grab my shoulder, which made me jump and look up. It was a girl with long green hair and brown eyes, I let out I sigh of reliefe.
"Yuki, don't do that, you scared me." I said. She looked at me confused and then smiled.
"Sorry, I wasn't trying to" she said in defense. Her face got serious, "I will take care of the werewolf you get the vampire. Okay?" I nooded and we split up.
I looked around corners. I had less than ten minutes to kill this stupid vampire. I heard a loud rawr come from that other direction. "Think she found the werewolf?" Kusukusu nodded and started to giggle. I heard a snicker behind me before I could turn around, I was knocked to the ground. She was trying to snap at my neck, but I held her back. She clawed my arm, it hurt so much that I let go. She bit into my neck and my arm healed up. i pushed her off and my neck healed up.
"H-How did you-" I cut her off by shooting her with a bullet in the knee, she fell to the ground. I held my gun to her head and leaned down next to her.
"I am already a vampire." I whispered in her ear. Then one shot was heard from the gun. I walked over and saw the werewolf's corpes
"Oh Rima good timing I just finished him." she said, then stopped and looked at my neck. "Get bit again?" I nodded and she pulled out a shot. I injected it into my arm.
"Thanks." I said walking away.
Next morning,
I didn't get one of my targets, just means I have to do it tonight. I saw Amu and Yaya looking at me a bit confused.
"Rima-chan are you ok? You looke a little pale." Amu said.
"I'm fine Amu, no problem." I stated nerviously. I am starting to look more like a vampire. I'm guessing it's because the bite. We didn't speak all the way to school, when we got there we saw Tadase and Nagihiko waiting infront of the school.
"You don't want to go in there." Nagihiko said, "Were keeping everyone out." I looked over their shoulders and saw the school. The windows were busted, glass every where, the doors were pulled off the hindges, and there was blood every where. Human blood to be percise, I smelled it.
"I-I gotta go" I said hold my breath, I ran one block before stopping. "I can still smell it, I gotta get away from here." I ran all th way to to the river before the smell was out of range. When the blood dries I can go back.
Nagihiko POV
Rima just took off for no reason so, the rest of us guardians had to send everyone home. We started to clean up while Hotori-kun gave us orders.
"Amu-chan, get the mops. Yuiki-san, go get the buckets. Sanjou-kun, sponges. Souma-kun, soap." he stopped and turned to me, dismissing everyone else. "Fujisaki-kun, find Mashiro-san" I nodded and ran off of school ground.
How far can she run, she's not that fast. I looked every where in a fifty yard radius, but still never found her. As I was walking back to the school, I saw a river. Then I saw a small ball curled up next to it, a ball that I could never forget.
"Rima-chan!" I yelled, she turned around and I saw here mutter something. I ran down to see if she was ok. "Rima-chan, are you okay? you look pale and you took off at the sight of the school."
She didn't respond. "Lets get you back home." I said holding out a hand. She looked directly at my eyes, I could tell she had been crying. She placed her hand in mine, but when she tried to stand she fell back down. Sadness grew over my face, then got an idea. I picked Rima up on my back, after a few minutes of protest she fell asleep.
I finally got to her house, I didn't want to wake her up. I rang the door bell, I could hear yelling and arguing. The door opened and I saw a women, I am guessing she Rima's mom, yelling at a man, guessing her dad. They stopped fighting long enough to look at me and pointed to Rima's room. As soon as I hit the first step of the stairs, they started to argue again.
Is this really how Rima lives everyday. I laid Rima on her bed and covered her up. She looked so cute when she was asleep. I kissed her on the forehead and left the room. It turns out, her whole body was cold. I wonder why.
Rima POV,
I woke up in my room, the last thing I remember I was trying to get away from the school. I looked over at the clock on my dresser it was nine thirty. I didn't have any assignments tonight, but I still needed to finish the one I hadn't last night. I got ready and left the house. No one was arguing when I left, there was no sign of Kusukusu, and it was surprisingly dark for ten o'clock. I looked at the paper.
"Target: Leo Toji, Age: 234(11), Male, Attends: None Listed, Wanted for stealing, murder, and manipulation." I stopped and looked at the picture, it was just a small blonde boy. "How could he be so small, but still be able to do all those crimes?" I asked myself out loud.
"Maybe it's not that hard." I looked behind me and saw my target. The blonde boy was holding a hatchet. "I don't want you to kill me." he said using those puppy dog eyes Yaya always uses when she wants something. I was almost tempted to give in.
"Sorry,but things happen." I said pulling out a gun, he held up his hatchet in defence. I fired one shot and it hit his weapon.
"I tried to stop you." He pulled his hatchet to me and dissapeared, I looked everywhere. "Try looking behind you." I was hit in the back and stummbled.
"You little-" I coughed up a little blood. He walked over to me and kneeled down.
"I am not going to lose." he said punching me in the stomach, "Humans are so weak." I smirked.
"They're not as bad as you think." the wound on my back healed and I stood up. "You used to be one, so was I once." his eyes widened.
"What do you mean? If you're like me, why hunt your own kind?" he started to freeze, "Why can't I move my body?" I walked over and looked him in the eyes.
"I might be an undead being, but I will never be like you. I hunt you down because you are a disgrace to all species, vampires had and agreement with the humans. The agreement was that we would not feed off of living humans, some stick to that agreement. I only drink animal blood, meaning my teeth have never been stained by human blood. I am not ever going to be a monster." I stopped, a smile crept over my face. "When you knelt down to punch me, I injected a paralizing shot. You just lost." I pointed my gun right at his head as he smiled.
"Go ahead kill me, my sister will just hunt you down and kill you. I turned her myself." he said closing his eyes. The smile on my face dissapeared.
"Good luck with that." I pulled the triger and walked away.
Nagihiko POV,
I swear I just heard a gun shot coming from the east. I shook Rhythm's egg until he came out.
"What is it Nagi?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"I swear I heard a gun shot." I said pointing out the window. Rhythm shook his head.
"You're just imagining it."
"No, I know I heard it." I jumped out of bed and got dressed. I was wearing a blue hoodie, and jeans. "I am going to figure out what it was, maybe it has something to do with the other night." I slowly opened my door, no one in sight. I shut the door behind me. I walked to the main door and put on some running shoes.
"You're not actually going out there are you?" Rhythm asked floating up behind me, I nodded. "No if there actually was a gun shot that means, the person with the gun is still out there." I ignored him and kept walking. I turned the corner and saw what looked like a body, but burnt to a crisp. I leaned down to try to get a better look at it.
"It's just a little boy!" I yelled, going into shock.
Next morning,
I didn't get much sleep, I mean who in the right mind would do that to a kid. I looked over at all of my friends around the table, I needed to tell someone or it would keep bugging me. If I tell Amu, she'll wig out. Tadase, jump to conclusion, same as Kukai. Yaya would start to cry and Kairi would try forever to come up with a solution. So that only leaves Rima, I wonder how she would react.
"Nagihiko!" I stopped day dreaming.
"Huh?" I said looking at Rima.
"Are you okay?" Rima whispered, I nodded. "Look if something is wrong you can tell me." the bell went off and it was time for first period.
Rima POV,
"I really hate this class." I whispered, to no one in particular.
"Math isn't that bad." Nagihiko replied. I shot him a glare.
"I don't get it." I said under my breath. He looked at me like I was going crazy, then chuckled.
"I'll help you then." he started to explain the whole lesson.
When the bell rang, we both went to drama class, then lunch at the royal garden. I pulled out my lab top while Tada-gay was talking about the stupid dance. I looked up some gag manga and started to read it.
"Okay, so after school we will start setting up." Amu stated.
"But Yaya doesn't want to do it today!" Yaya protested. Suddenly everyone was arguing except me and Nagihiko. Yaya saying she didn't want to, Amu saying we had to, Tadase saying we need to start today or the dance won't happy. Kairi taking both sides and trying to find a logical point, and Kukai agreeing with Yaya.
"Nagihiko come here." I said trying not to laugh out loud. He walked over and looked at the screen. We both burst out laughing. whcich caused everyone to turn and stare at us.
"Whoa, they're laughing together." Amu said pointing. We stopped to catch our breath, I turned the computer screen around. Every one was laughing. "Anyways, remember to be here after school at three." she said getting more serious. Nagihiko and I looked at each other.
"Um... Amu-chan, " Nagihiko started. "I can't stay today. Sorry." I sighed.
"I can't either." I stated boringly.
"Why, are Rima-tan and Nagi going on a date?" Yaya teased.
"Actually, I am doing extra dance lessons."
"And I am going to be with my mama." we left for our final classes.
Nagihiko and I agreed that the date would be at four-fifteen so we could get ready. Just enough time.
