Mion leaned on her desk watching the clock tick away slowly. Each tick or the hand seemed to take longer and longer. The emerald haired maiden couldn't wait until the teacher dismissed them for the day, the first day everyone was at school in a few days they were going to have some fun. The squeaking of her teacher's chair brought her eyes away from the clock for the first time in an hour and a half.
"Alright. Everyone is dismissed and have a good day." Sensei spoke getting smiles from her students.
Mion spun in her chair and looked to her friends, a wild grin on her face. "I have a game I want to try. Keiichi can you go to my locker and get the brown box." She ordered the only boy left in the room.
"Okay keep your panties on." Keiichi smirked following her orders.
The squeaking of another chair made the green haired girl look to Rena's seat.
"I'm sorry friends but Rena has to run errands for father. He took Rina-chan's leaving him hard." The others nodded grimly except for a purple haired girl who eyed Rena curiously. "Mion. Rena would like to talk later after her errands are done at the dam site if you will be free."
"Ya sure Rena. You think you will be done at five?" Mion asked looking at the clock, getting a nod from Rena.
"Rena is sorry friends." Rena said waving before closing the door.
Mion sighed loudly as the members of the club looked at her quizzically. Keiichi standing beside her locker and the two younger girls leaning on the class presidents desk.
"I thought this would be the first day we could play that game." Mion answered them without them asking. "Since I was hurt and the whole ink catapult incident. This really was the first day all five of us were together."
"Can we play with four?" Satoko asked getting a shrug from Mion.
"I guess but it is a teamwork game and I sort of wanted a four person group versus the master." Mion said getting Keiichi's eyebrow to raise.
"So it would be four on one how are those even odds? The group would win every time." Keiichi said confidently only getting a evil smirk from Mion.
"Get the game out Mr. Confidence." Mion smirked as he did as he was told pulling out a a large brown box.
"How did you fit this in your locker?"
"Very carefully. There is a book called the dungeon master manual in the box hand it to me." Mion said smiling.
"Okay, so what is the other stuff?" Keiichi said handing the book to his leader and pulling out dice and sheets of paper.
"This my young man is a game called Dungeons and Dragons." Mion smiled evilly causing the others in the room to cower slightly. "Make your characters and we shall play..."
…
Rena walked quickly down the dirt path a menacing look in her azure eyes. A plan formulating in her dark clouded mind as she mindlessly scratched at her neck. Her kingdom a few yards away and in that kingdom her scepter.
…
Mion glanced at the clock twenty minutes to five, looking back at the board she saw the small party moving closer to her stronghold. She was going easy on the weary adventurers so they could enjoy the game but her meeting time was growing close, she decided to use her trump.
Mion stood up with the help of a crutch borrowed from the school a smug smile on her face as her prey cleaned up.
"You know that one doesn't count as a punishment game." Keiichi said placing the manuals in the box.
"Why not?" Mion asked heading towards the door.
"You were the only one knowing the rules and Rena wasn't here." Keiichi argued but only got a unbelieving looks from the three girls in the room. "Worth a shot."
"I will give you that young one but we will decide your punishment tomorrow. I have to meet Rena." Mion said turning to go out the door. "Oh have a good night guys."
Mion hobbled out the door and down the dirt path to the meeting place, the cicadas almost deafening her as she marched forward.
"Jeez the cicadas are loud tonight, maybe they know something I don't." Mion chuckled as she thought aloud.
Some distance up the road Mion looked over the edge of the ridge of the junkyard placing a hand over her eyes shading them from the setting sun. She looked into the piles for any sign of her friend, noticing a what looked to be a red haired head behind a crumpled truck cab.
"Hey Rena! I'm here what do you want to talk to me about." Mion shouted waving franticly to her friend.
"I wanted to talk to you about Keiichi-kun." A voice behind Mion spoke coldly making the green haired girl to whip around.
Rena stood behind her friend in her traditional white dress and white beret. A dark shadow shrouded her face making Mion clutch her chest tightly.
"Jeez Rena sneak up on someone why don't ya. You shouldn't scare a old man like that." Mion chuckled but grew serious as Rena didn't laugh. "What's wrong Rena you haven't been yourself lately."
"I haven't called you here to talk about me." Rena said coldly mindlessly scratching at her neck her fingertips growing more and more crimson each scratch. "You are over stepping your grounds."
"What are you talking about Rena?" Mion asked watching her friend confused, she reached out to stop her friend. "You shouldn't scratch like that it's starting to bleed."
"SHUT UP!" Rena shouted causing Mion to step back scared."You are taking him away from me."
"I'm not taking anyone away from you." Mion said backing up only to stop a foot from the edge of the ridge.
"Keiichi has been serving you like a queen. He should be doing that to me." Rena shouted stepping forward. "There is only one way that I can get that."
Realization struck Mion as Rena spoke, a cold chill of fear run down her spine as she glanced behind her and then back to her. The look in her friends eyes told Mion her answer, stepping back her foot met loose dirt as the ground crumbled.
A terrifying feeling of weightlessness gripped Mion as she fell backwards. Time seemed endless as looked up at her friend on the ridge a smirk on her lips. Pain rocketed up her back as she hit something solid causing her to choke as the wind left her lungs painfully. Mion winced as she rolled to her side trying to stand.
"Well you are a little more persistent than the other two that I had to dispose of." Rena said sliding off a discarded playground slide.
"I guess... that... is just... my way..." Mion said looking around her. Her vision blurry from the pain coursing through her back. "What the... hell... is wrong... with you.."
"I am just doing everything to win... club president." Rena said revealing her weapon of choice, the dark wide blade with the signature razor sharp hook on the end.
Mion's eyes widened at the sight of the blade. Panicked she reached around her frantically, the familiar grip of her crutch was the only thing she was able to grab lifting it up in front of her.
"You expect to win with that?" Rena laughed manically lifting the blade above her head." It will be your funeral."
The machete sparked across from the crutch causing both girls to cover their eyes. Rena looked at the injured girl in front of her who had a smirk on her lips.
"This is a loaner from the school. It is made of aluminum." Mion said smirking.
"That won't stop me from getting what is mine." Rena said lifting the blade again ready to strike.
"Keiichi isn't yours!" Mion shouted stabbing the crutch at her friend, ignoring the pain in her back. "He chose to spend time with me. He chose to be with me."
"Liar!" Rena shouted swinging the blade scraping the sharp edge along her friend's shoulder.
Blood splattered the nearby garbage as Mion screamed and clutched her shoulder. Crimson leaked from between her fingers as she rolled on her back trying to hold back as her whole body screamed in pain. Mion clenched her eyes closed trying to ignore the pain by focusing on something different, the crunch of garbage near her head made her open her eyes to see her once friends standing over her blood dripping from her weapon...Mion's blood.
"You think... you have..ugh.. won Rena?" Mion said looking up into the cold blue eyes of the hatchet girl.
"From where I stand.... yes I have." Rena said lifting the blade, but was interrupted by a gagging laugh that turned into a cough.
"Keiichi... won't love you... when he finds... out you kil...led his... friends." Mion said with a cocky smirk.
Rena towered over her prey for a few moments as if the green haired girl's words penetrated. Rena looked at the blade in her hand and then back to her wounded friend and back to the blade. A knowing look suddenly lit up her azure orbs as she rolled the blade in her fingers spinning the hatchet so the blunt edge pointed towards Mion.
"I suppose you are right." Rena said with a distant look in her eyes which caused Mion's hopes to rise.
"Thats why I do this." Rena said making Mion's eyes to widen as the heavy blunt blade swung down.
