(This chapter is only a filler!)

05.33 PM
"Elliot-kun?"
"…what?"
"It's been nearly three hours, and our meeting hasn't even started yet…"
Twitch. The light-brown-haired boy stood up casually from his seat, walking toward the blonde girl who was sitting in the opposite direction from him. Feeling that the temperature went down by a degree, the glasses kid beside him raised his eyebrow and closed the book on his lap.
"Elliot…" he mumbled.
Uh-hoh…
The said boy stared menacingly at the girl before him. "You should ask the same question to your older brother, Ada Vessalius."
Ada then stared at him, too. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and then looked down at the paper assignment which was laying on her desk, "I told you, he has some important business to attend to."
Elliot let out a deep growl, "Important 'business' you said? HAH! That useless president is probably flirting again with another girl-"
"ELLIOT!" A rather feminine but boyish voice stopped him from blabbering any further. Moving his gaze to the shorter, glasses kid in front of him, Elliot huffed. "You shouldn't say something like that about Oz-senpai – our Kaichou."
The taller boy frowned and hmmp-ed, making Ada felt slightly amused at how fast his attitude changed, "Reo-kun…"
He patted Elliot using his book, "And remember to call her Ada-senpai, she's a year older than us."
A hand rose from behind, making them to turn their attention to the peach-haired girl, "Shouldn't we stop our meeting here? The third-years aren't coming either…"
"Yeah, I think you're right, Falent…" Rin nodded slowly. "Falent and I gotta go practice now. Tournaments." The maroon-haired girl said as she lowered her wooden sword. "Echo probably didn't come here because Vincent wanted her to spare with him."
Ada winced. 'I hope I could finish it by the weekend…'
A pink-haired girl beside her - Platina - also stood up from her seat, hugging her violin case tightly to her chest, "Yeah, me too. The jazz club is struggling because Liam-sensei is depressed because Lily-senpai keeps breaking all the instruments because she thinks the music we were playing were boring and absolutely didn't rock," she then sighed and continued, "because seriously, we're the jazz club!"
Reo, Elliot and Ada instantly sweat-dropped.
"Someone needs to be there to keep the other people in the club sane," she then turned her head to Falent and Rin who were already standing in front of the door.
"Come on, Platina!"
She nodded and bowed at the seniors – Elliot, Reo and Ada, "See you next time, senpai." With that, they left the student council room.
Elliot, Reo and Ada stared at each other for a brief second, before Ada smiled nervously and said, "E-emm, how about we go to Amour? I-I heard they-"
"Let's go home, Reo," The tallest boy of the three said as he grabbed Reo's arm and dragged him.
"E-Elliot-" Reo tried to struggle but Elliot's strength prevented him to do so. He sighed before he bowed apologetically at the emerald-eyes owner. "I'm sorry for my Master's behavior, Ada-senpai-" the grip on his arm tightened. Glaring, he said, "Elliot…" with an icy low voice.
Elliot scowled and looked away. "See ya, Vessalius girl," he muttered as he dragged Reo out of the classroom.
Ada waved sadly at them and glanced at the empty room. Sighing, she held the golden pendant and whispered something that could be hardly recognized as;
"Onii-chan…"
"…Oh My God, Fuu… clean up this mess, right now!"
I glanced up to the blond-haired girl before me who was glaring like there's no tomorrow.
Damn… when I was just getting to put some incest…
"All right, Chiika… I just need to type-…"
"NOW, young lady. NOW." Owwww, I hate that sickeningly sweet voice of her… I walked toward a locker to grab some cleaning tools.
"Huh, Al-chan and Ether-chan are late again! They're going to miss dinner at this rate…" she muttered as she pout.
"They're probably going to wake Hikaru for midnight snacks…" I mumbled as I opened it, "and it's not like you're the cook, here…"
Oops, I heard her grunted and slammed the door behind me. Wow, a bad mood Chiika is scary… (she's a REAL angel when she's in a good mood)
Well, readers, it seemed that the story will be paused for a moment until I finished cleaning-…
Blink.
Blink.
Close.
Wait – HUH?
Open.
Blink.
Blink.
An eyebrow rose.
"What the hell are you doing in there, Chesh?"
I found our heroine's favorite kitty-…err, pet-… I mean, best friend, Cheshire, who was hugging a broom, head in a bucket.
What was he doing in a LOCKER?
And… he was… crying?
The cat-like boy sobbed a bit as he took off the bucket and looked at me with his red puffy eye. "Sh-shorty…" Eyebrow twitched. Hew, easy there, Fuu, don't strangle this poor kitty now… "M-Mistress was-… HUWAAAAAAA~!"
Ouch, that hurt! Did he just glomp me? I looked down at him. Oh yes, he did.
I sighed and asked him, "What happened to Alice?" Off course I knew what happened to her. I'm the author, so DUH!
He sobbed again, so I patted him on the back, "There, there…" wow, I couldn't believe that I was hugging the Cheshire Cat from Pandora Hearts… Lucky me…
He then handed me a… handycam...
…Now, I get it… Wait, I'm supposed to get it from the start! Arrrgh, this is confusing!
"M-mistress was having an affair with that Vessalius kid…"
Affair… nice choice of word, Cheshire… now, now, what's the connection between being tutored and having an affair, hm? It's not like Alice was in a relationship with someone, right?
When I was just about to give the handycam back to him, Chiika appeared out of nowhere like I usually did.
"FUU! DIDN'T I TELL TO YOU NOT TO SLACK-… Ah, Hello, Chesire!" She just showed you one of her traits; changing personality as fast as a gust of wind. She then peered at the thing I was holding. "Hm? What's that?"
Questioning the obvious, so Chiika-like… She took the thing from my hands gently and sat between me and Cheshire.
WAIT, if she watch the video, then surely, she's going to-…
"Huwaaaaaaa! Gotta write this on the front page for the school's newspaper!"
Hahahaha, figures… oh well, she'd forgotten about my cleaning duty, now I could sit down again and continue the chapter! Oh, wait; I've typed the whole thing already? AWESOME!
... or not…
Errr, let's see what's happening in the Nightray manor…
.:Nightray Residence:.
06.11 PM
"Welcome home, Elliot-sama." All the servants bowed as Elliot walked pass them. A maid was whispering to Reo, asking him the reason why was their Little Master's face looked… scary.
"R-Reo-kun, what happened to Elliot-sama?"
"He's just tired Applie-san…"
The woman with red hair pouted, "…you're lying…"
"Yes, yes, I am."
"REO-KUN!"
Reo chuckled, amused. "Just kidding."
"Welcome home, Vanessa-sama."
They both turned around to see Vanessa Nightray, the first daughter of Nightray, sister to Elliot and Biology teacher in Gekkougan who was walking with a furious expression. And they heard her muttered, "Damn that Vessalius, how dare he wear something like that in my class… and what's with all those roses…"
"Seems like the two of them were having a bad day…" Applie said, sighing as she put her palm on her cheek, shaking his head.
"A-ah! W-welcome home, Gilbert-sama!"
At this, the two of them widened their eyes and quickly turned their gaze to the black-haired young man who was walking like a zombie.
You know… like those zombies in Resident Evils?
"O-Oz…. that stupid rabbit…. Heeeehhhh…." he mumbled.
Reo pushed his glasses up, "Now, this is interesting…"
Applie shuddered. "You're not planning something, are you?"
.:Vessalius Residence:.
06. 14 PM
"I'm home-…" Her greeting was stopped by Oz who suddenly appeared before her, phone in one hand.
"Ada! Did you see Gil on your way here?"
Ada flinched slightly, "E-eh, no, I didn't… d-did something bad happen…?"
Oz averted his gaze and then looked down to the floor, "…he texted me a while ago that he's not going to come home for a while…"
His sister gasped lightly. "E-eeeeeeeeh-… Hm—w-why is Nii-san lying on the floor like that?" she asked, peeking over the room where the great Hero of Tragedy, Jack Vessalius was lying unconscious.
"Heh, I dunno what happened to him. But I'm sure it's Vanessa-sensei who did this to him…" Smiling, he grabbed Ada's hand and led her to the dining room. "There's a strawberry cake for you, Ada~" his smile turned into a grin. "Lottie-san gave it to me just a while ago – she said Alyss-chan was the one who baked it."
Ada immediately smiled even though she knew that the taste will probably be awful – this is Alyss we're talking about. But it'll still taste delicious to her if her brother is with her when she eat it.
.:Baskerville Residence:.
08.00 PM
"VANESSA-SENSEI DID THAT TO HIM?" Alice yelled, slamming the dining table with her palm.
Glen grunted, "Yeah, I don't know where she got that frying pan from, but Jack got knocked out on her first hit."
Alice growled, "Damn that woman – she's gonna pay for hurting my servant!"
The boy—or man—or boy—ehhh, whatever—frowned, "He's not your manservant. And besides, I heard that Lily drowned you to the pool?"
The brunette blushed, "Yeah, and luckily, he saved me… just in time – ARRGH! WHY AM I TELLING THIS TO YOU?"
"Because I asked you to. And who do you mean by 'he'?"
"None of your business…"
"Alice-… Alice, don't tell me you're still tutoring that brat-…"
"OZ'S NOT A BRAT!"
"SEE? YOU'RE STILL TUTORING THAT DAMN-"
"SILENCE!"
The two of them abruptly stopped and looked at Alyss who was sipping her tea gracefully/ "I could not eat peacefully if you two keep arguing like that," she said with a firm tone, merely looking at them with half-lidded eyes.
And since when did Kawasumi Ayako use old English accent?
Alice scowled, and Glen swallowed.
"Alice, stop wearing those expressions. They're so unladylike," she turned to Glen, ignoring Alice's shock expression, "and Glen, stop being so childish. What will Lacie say if she sees you arguing with Alice like a kid?" Then she stood up from her seat.
"I think I lost my appetite. I'm going to sleep in the basement and please do not interrupt me, I have some business I need to do in there." Then she left Alice and Glen, who were gaping.
"W-What is wrong with her?" Glen managed to squeak out.
"I dunno," she then leaned closer to Glen, "but we better stay away from her when she's like that."
.:Baskerville's underground basement:.
"Huh, it's perfect…" Violet eyes shone in the darkness. "Now, it's time to start the drama…" A sadistic grin formed.
.:Break Residence:.
10.15 PM
TING NONG TING NONG TING NONG-
The door opened harshly and a man with messy silver hair came out from it, "Yeah, yeah, I get it – COULD YOU PLEASE STOP PRESSING THE BUTTON-"
He looked down to see a familiar blue alien-looking doll lying in front of the door. He immediately picked it up and embraced it tightly, "OMG EMILY I THOUGHT I LOST YOU! JUST WAIT THAT BASKERVILLE WILL PAY FOR KIDNAPPING YOU-"
"JUST STOP IT XERXES I CAN'T BREATH!" the man widened his eyes and patted 'her' on the head.
"O-ohh, I'm sorry… poor Emily, she didn't do anything to you, did she? Because if she did, I'll-"
"JUST SHUT UP AND OPEN THIS BOX, WILL YA?"
The silver-haired man blinked and looked down to his feet. He found a box.
"Hm, what's this?"
And a grin spread on a certain girl's face from behind the bushes.
