Mio stood at the entrance and waited for her close friend to arrive soon at this midnight while having her paper block and pen on her hands. But she wasn't feeling motivated enough to draw when she began to think about the prevailing week that it had been what it seems like... weird.

Remembering firstly the utter letter that she got from the hunter. However, when it announced her to sign in order to start at night school, she thought that it was all because of her grades improvement. But then, when she heard the rumor of the boy who truly was a vampire by the letter, it wasn't only an utter letter. Rather, it was a signal for the death threat!

Secondly reflecting, when she had an unexpected encounter with Yui for the first time back in the church. In addition, after had learned about Yui's sickness when she fainted on the floor, Mio noticed how much the blonde girl graciously appreciated the grapefruit sugar cube. Filling with warmth and passion as the two of them was having a good time together by chatting and laughing, it was then Mio understood that she wasn't lonely anymore. Everything was so refreshing.. Until the following night when Mio confirmed what she didn't believe not only herself but her close friend who was also in danger.

Thirdly as she did recall, the specific power that made Mio able to feel characters' aura. Also, seeing people's past once she touched someone's skin like she did on the hysteric guy while attempting to save her precious close friend several days ago. As nervous as Mio was while remembering the feeling of his hand-

Vroom!

Suddenly, the thoughts faded away when Mio saw the limousine coming. She assumed that it was Yui who had finally arrived in time. Quickly packing down the block and the pencil in her big turquoise bag and closed the zipper. When the car door opened, she saw directly Yui Komori climbing out the limousine. Being happily while waving her hand, she called out, "Komori-san!"

Hearing her close friend calling her, Yui turned directly to Mio as she was feeling happy for seeing her. She ran toward the hazel-eyed girl as she needed to get away from the Sakamakis, she greeted,"Suzuki-san! Hi! Did I keep you waiting?"

When the blonde girl asked her question, Mio shook her head and responded delightful, "No, not at all. I just came for a minute ago.

Climbing out, it was then Ayato's anger emerged when he saw instantly Mio being with Yui as he enforced his movement to-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Suddenly, it became absolutely quiet. All the brothers and the girls shifted their head to the person who screamed as they didn't know it was none other than Kanato. However, trembling as the amount of frightened and panic was filled while glancing at the sepia-headed girl as he wasn't awaited to see, he stumbled, "Yo-you again?"

At that moment, as tensed as Yui was when she glanced at Kanato while her memory sent back to where it occurred. However when her close friend saved her from Kanato and spoke about the power that enabled Mio to see people's recalling like she did on Kanato. Despite that, Kanato kept his distance from Yui ever since that incident happened. Although that, she had a bad feeling what it was-

"What do you think it looks like if I didn't attend?" At that moment, the images were interrupted when Mio spoke while glancing seriously at Kanato.

When that happened, Yui grasped her hands to her chest when she waited for the next movement of her close friend. Even though, she didn't know if she would like this since this was their second time to confront each other.

As frightenedly as Kanato began to back himself away, he demanded, "Pl-please! Don't you dare come near me! I will. I will-" but then, his word didn't reach out when the anxious and terror was swelling so badly. While embracing his favorite teddy into his arm and staring at Mio, he was so scared he didn't know how to step up for himself any longer.

As he did, Mio adjusted, "Don't think like I'm some sort of person who would hurt you just in that case. Besides, you shouldn't."

As silence as the brothers were while they hardly recognized what was going on between Kanato and the sepia-headed girl. However, the more the question was spreading around them, the more complicated it became.

As the brothers did so, Yui stood there and watched while a number of worries were rising inside of her. However, seeing Mio judging on the purple-eyed young guy, it was too hard to be capable of enduring to watch.

While seeing Mio giving her threat look to Kanato in the ominous atmosphere, he shook his head and hesitantly said, "N-no. You're misunderstanding, Mio-san. Yui-san and I was only having a little deal and-"

"And you took out of your movement by hurting Komori-san. Is that what you called 'a little deal"?" As Mio interrupted Kanato's speak as she corrected the fact.

As Mio did it so, Kanato froze while the panicking started to grow even more. At the same moment, he was dragging himself down on the mark and responded," That's not true. I just wanted to have somebody's help to do my favor." While remaining statement, it was then his voice yanked as he shed some tears when he said, "But even so, there is nobody who doesn't care a less about me. Nobody."

As he did so, Yui's eyes were reflecting gloomily while hearing Kanato crying. Even if he did the horrible thing to her so long, she did understand that Kanato didn't mean to hurt her.

" Really... Is that what you've been concerned about for a whole life?" At that moment, Yui's mind was suddenly interrupted when Mio said it.

As Mio did, Yui said, "Suzuki-san... I-"

But when her word didn't come out, Mio looked at Yui with a concerned face and said,"I know, Komori-san. Me too..."

As she did, Yui looked at Mio as she remained in silent when Mio decided to restrain her statement when she turned to Kanato,"Anyway, as I know you. Your name is Kanato, right?"

As Mio had asked, Kanato nodded as he needed to admit while still crying, he said, "Y-yes. That's right. That's my name. Why are you asking me that?"

When Kanato asked, Mio explained, " Kanato. There is something that I wanna ask you some question and you have to be honest while answering those, alright?" When Mio stated, she proceeded to the investigation, " When you mentioned that you wanted to have somebody to understand you. How did you mean exactly, Kanato?"

At that moment when Mio had made out her question, Kanato responded on, "Attention. I just wanted to have someone's attention."

Hearing the hysteric guy saying that Mio suspicious as she didn't think that Kanato's answer was enough. So she needed to ask properly, "Why if I may ask?"

Hearing her asking that question, Kanato replied while continued weeping,"Because... I'm scared.. to be inappropriate." As the purple-eyed young guy pointing out, he remained his explanation while pressing his teddy into him more tightly when his faulty memories flashed back, "Ever since my childhood, I wanted to be part of people of believed on me and cared about my feelings. Even what it consists to be like... sad..., happy..., angry... all of those feelings. But still, no matter how much people are thinking ... they just don't perceive me as a person but some sort of object to them. No matter how much they're my deception... It's just hurt to be hurt by everybody. That's why I… I-" But then he didn't manage to finish his statement because the sorrow and fear were increasing and so he whined even harder he barely could breathe.

As the hysteric vampire guy did, it was then Mio needed to add another question,"What if anyone was the opposite of deception? What would you do?"

"I don't know.. I don't know what that means anymore.."

After he had stated, it was then Mio determined requested, "Then can you promise me that you'll never try to abuse people ever again, especially on Komori-san?"

When Mio asked, it was then Kanato oathed willingly, "I won't do that! I swear! I promise! But p-please just stay away from me." As he had sworn for Mio, he crawled into him further while remaining to cry out of his eyes when he no longer couldn't endure the pain inside of him.

When he did so, neither Yui or the brothers did say anything but only hearing Kanato sobbing himself out until Mio began to say shortly, "Thank you. That was the only thing I wanted to hear from you." As she said it, she grabbed Yui's hand and walked toward the school. But then they stopped when Mio realized to add her last word to Kanato, "Oh. Do you wanna know something, Kanato? Once you said it before. About when nobody doesn't see you as a person. I don't think you are thinking that way. Besides, the only one who doesn't see them as a person," Then Mio turned her head to kanato while saying out cruelly, "that is you."

Hearing Mio saying such a wrangle to Kanato, Yui looked at Kanato how he truly was in the pain as he was received. Even though, after all these average nights he did to her, she couldn't help but think to herself concerned, "Kanato-kun. I'm sorry..."

As the blonde girl did, it was then the sepia-headed girl claimed Yui's hand a bit tighter and looked at her face while saying shortly, "Let's go."

As Mio said it, Yui nodded, "Okay."

And so the two of girls began to take steps into school and left the brothers behind. As still as they held each other's hand, they received their victory.

Meanwhile, being speechless as Ayato felt how he was patched with loads of insecurity when he wasn't capable of understanding of his experience. What just did he saw? While still being in infinite silence, he peeped down when Laito attempted to comfort Kanato by patting the head and say, "There, there."

As the green-eyed guy did it, he then gazed at Reiji. At that moment, Ayato found out that the council president's eyes were depicted by composure but at the same time blazed. However, it made Ayato now suppose what it would possibly be in this complicated state like he didn't want to consider about...

The moonlight reflected gorgeous at that night. As the two girls were finally at the rooftop all alone after they escaped from the vampire brothers, Yui looked at the moon as she was still in anxious for what befell Kanato. However, when Mio shockingly mentioned about the purple-eyed young guy and his meaningless movement, the thought stuck in the head and would never go away;

"Do you wanna know something, Kanato? Once you said it before. About when nobody doesn't see you as a person. I don't think you are thinking that way. Besides, the only one who doesn't see them as a person, that is you."

Then another echo appears when Yui remembered Kanato saying;

"Ever since my childhood, I wanted to be part of people of believed on me and cared about my feelings. Even what it consists to be like... sad..., happy..., angry... all of those feelings. But still, no matter how much people are thinking ... they just don't perceive me as a person but some sort of object to them. No matter how much they're my deception... It's just hurt to be hurt by everybody. That's why I… I-"

"What's in your mind, Komori-san?" At that moment, it was Mio who spoke she looked at Yui.

As Mio had asked, Yui glanced away from her close friend and needed to reply, "If I need to say honest, I was a bit regret to see Kanato-kun being down. I know he is guilty of harming the innocent, but still."

Hearing Yui saying that made Mio want to confess, "I know. But, sometimes somebody needs to take him up that consequence when it comes to taking some square with someone."

As the hazel-eyed girl said that, Yui chose to say, "Maybe..." then she decided to change the subject, "Say, what's the point to be here, Suzuki-san?"

As the blonde girl asked, Mio replied simply, "Alright." then she began to explain," As you can see, I have discovered a lot thing about Hunter's letter. However, I learned that his letter was the trick to impact me here at the Academy, you may know that already, right?"

As Mio had asked that question, Yui replied simply, "Of course I do. You told about that in the nurse office other days ago."

As Yui replied, Mio then said while smiling a bit, " I see. I'm glad that you remember it."

As the hazel-eyed girl said it, Yui replied as she smiled back, "I'm glad that I do. Besides, there's no way for me to forget about that thing. What else could it be with the letter?"

Hearing Yui asking that question, it was then Mio drop her smile as she realized importantly when she stated," Now you're asking me that, it settled me think further about why that letter has a link to Kami-san."

As the hazel-eyed girl said it so, Yui perplexed, "A link?"

As the pink-eyed girl had stated so, Mio replied, "Yes. After I signed that letter, Kami-san suddenly appeared and declared me that my fate would be changed. I thought at first that he meant my current circumstances, though. But then when I pondered about this subject further, it made me realized that he had something to do with vampires."

As Mio said the primary, it was then an amount of bewildered fulfilled inside of Yui while hearing Mio aimed about the vampires. However, it settled her see in view of what she had heard from Shuu back in the limousine that made sense,

"Once a vampire is receiving a letter from the unknown hunter, it will be destroyed by a pole through the heart."

As the echo faded away, Yui was wondering about why the spirit ghost intended to do with vampires..., especially on the Sakamakis. So she needed so ask,"W- Why vampires?"

"I think that Kami-san wanted to kill those vampires because he thinks that they are his threat in the society," Mio said as she looked up at the moon as it reflected her eyes. Then she looked at Yui and stated, "I'm sorry for not telling you about the fact of the ghost's advancement. I totally forgot that his goal was to eliminate vampires."

As the hazel-eyed girl had stated, Yui then murmured her last name, "Suzuki-san."

As Yui did that, it was then Mio needed to ask bashfully, "A-anyway, Komori-san.. um.., I was thinking.. do you think you would..." as nervous as Mio was to react out her question, she asked, ".. help me to find the truth of... Kami-san's plan?"

Hearing Mio putting that question, it settled Yui to become disoriented of being requested. She baffled, "Me?"

Mio nodded and answered honestly, " I considered that working alone wouldn't gaining me enough to find the proof. So I was wondering if you could be my supporter so we could resolve the mystery together. Not for my life sake, but for you too." When Mio had explained it to Yui, she shyly said, " So... Will you cooperate with me?"

When Mio had asked her question, it was then Yui was silence for a moment as she didn't believe that she had been heard by being with her close friend's helper. She needed to ask, " Was that only thing you wanted to ask me about?

As the blonde had asked, it was then Mio needed to add, "Actually, there is one more that I wanna ask."

Hearing the sepia-headed girl saying that, Yui went in curious as she didn't expect Mio's another request, so she recited, "what one more, Suzuki-san?

When Yui had asked, Mio said nervously, "W-well, I… I was wondering... if you don't mind. Would you…" But then Mio paused when her cheeks blushed because she was very flustered to say it toward Yui.

While waiting for Mio's response, Yui couldn't help but recite wondering, "I would...?"

As the pink-eyed girl had asked, Mio held her hands tightly and stubbornly struggled to react out her words, "Would you…" Then she looked directly up to Yui and finally asked, "Would you like to be my friend?"

As the sepia-headed girl's question finally put, Yui blinked as she didn't suspect what she was just hearing, she perplexed marvelous, "F-friend...?"

As the pink-eyed girl had stated, Mio replied, "Yeah. I was realizing that we were getting along very well… If I have to say this honestly, I was a little nervous when I started here at first since I moved away from my mom. When the letter deceived me, I was so scared and unsure about what they were intending to do with me. I felt lost and alone. But when I met you back in the church, you made me realize that I wasn't alone. Thank you... for saving my life and for letting myself not to give up. Oh. if I have to say this once more, I really enjoyed being your company. I really did."

Hearing Mio saying, it was then Yui suddenly felt an astounding and warmth feeling growing inside of her. However, she had never been expected that someone like Mio who wanted to approve her. Despite the compose of being led to the line of darkness with the Sakamaki brothers' nuisance by being draining off her blood by their agony teeth in her vague circumstances, she just couldn't believe that this was happening for real. That someone wanted to be her friend!

At that moment, Mio recognized that she took out her movement too far. So she awkwardly chuckled and said, "I'm sorry... I don't why I said such a weird thing. I guess I'm a bit odd now, huh?"

As Mio stated so, it was then Yui shook her head and responded with a smile, "No. You're not. Besides, I was actually very surprised at hearing you saying so encourage I never being told by that before."

Mio gave a bewildered look to Yui when she asked, "What do you mean?"

When Mio had asked her question, Yui placed her hands on her chest and replied honestly, "Ever since my life changed into a habit like I didn't it want to accept it, I thought that I would never be able to see the light again. I felt so hopeless and lonely when I realized it myself that I no longer could struggle. But when I saw you taking your steps towards me and having our very genuine connection, you made me apprehended that I wasn't alone anymore me neither. Thank you, Suzuki-san. For helping me see the path of brightness again." As the blonde girl continued her explanation while the light remained to grow further, she then stated, " Oh, and yes. I would really like to become your friend."

At that moment, Mio's eyes widened as she felt her heart lighten up of hearing Yui accepting her request. As bewildering she was, she marveled "Really?"

Without any hesitation, Yui nodded while replying simply, "Really."

As the blonde girl said it, it was then the amazement advanced further inside of Mio as she couldn't comprise when her smiling started to show up and said, "Thank goodness. I was a little scared at the beginning when I thought that you were about to refuse but gosh I'm so relieved that you do want to be my friend."

As Mio stated, it was then Yui needed to admit to state while holding her hand on her chest and gently giggled, "Me too. I was a bit nervous as well but I'm glad that we compacted together."

"Yeah, Speaking off good. Now that we've set for us as one, it will be impossible for Kami-san for mocking girls like us." As Mio said it, she burst out her laugh.

As Mio did, Yui was laughing with full of delightful and peaceful spirit, she admitted, "Yeah. He better watches out for an exterior delirious person like you."

When the pink-eyed girl said it, Mio replied as she still grinned while blinking one eye, "Not just me. I'm pretty sure that he will have no chance to kick your wildflower neither." As Mio declared so, she then noticed something that something hit her, she said, "That's right."

Hearing Mio saying that Yui asked wondering, " What is it?"

"It just hit me that we should give each other a nickname now that we had becoming one." When Mio said it while giving Yui a constant smile, she asked, "So do have any idea what you are going to call me, Komori-san?"

When the sepia-headed girl asked, Yui didn't have many ideas of a good nickname, so she decided said, "I don't know if I have any good nickname for you but... what if I call you just... Mio? Is it okay?"

When the blonde girl asked, Mio glanced at Yui and questioned, "Is that all you want to call me?

As the hazel-eyed girl asked so, Yui sensed that her idea didn't sound so suitable for Mio, she asked nervously "Yeah. Is it bad?

When Yui had asked, Mio shook her head and replied, "No, not at all. I'm actually pleased that you wanted to use without any honorific. So it's fine by me." As the sepia-headed stated, she then asked, "So, what do you think I should give you a nickname?"

At that moment, Yui considered that she hadn't been called by a normal nickname, at least from the sakamakis of course, so she said, "I don't mind anything, as long as I'm fine with one."

When the pink-eyed girl said it so, it was then Mio began to come up a basic nickname which suited Yui pretty well, she said, "Then, how about Yui-chan?"

Hearing Mio saying it, a glowing smile opened when Yui thought how pleasant it was for being called that simply, she replied, "I love it."

At the same moment when Yui granted satisfied, it was then Mio needed to confess brightly, "Looks like this is the beginning of our friendship, huh?"

"I think so," Yui answered as she felt so hopeful.

When the blonde girl said it so, Mio replied shortly, "I see. So then." At that moment, it was then Mio reached her hand toward Yui to shake her hand, she replied happily to Yui, " Please, treat me kindly, Yui-chan!"

At that moment, gazing at Mio's hand waiting for the shaking. Yui smiled while stretching out her hand and grabbed Mio's hand and replied benevolently, "Yes. Me too. Be kind to me as well... Mio." A sparkle of faith atmosphere spread at this midnight while feeling the warmth of Mio's hand, it was then Yui understood that her destiny had recently led her into a light.

With an impact of warmth and happiness by smiling and laughing together, it was never too late for Yui and Mio to go off accepting their dark fate when a new ray of hope had already flowed through the darkness.

Watching the girls' radiance of their smile and over listening to their conversation, Ayato was hidden behind the open door and perceived everything that he had seen. Considering what he didn't want to let the inconvenience additional be in his way. Like letting his prey approve the hazel-eyed girl her. Beginning to leave the girls behind, he vanished muteness into the dark.

Standing at the downstairs as Laito saw Ayato returning from the rooftop, he greeted, "Welcome back, Ayato-kun. Did you find out any interesting clue from bitch-chan and that girl?"

But Ayato wasn't answering and kept still quit while passing through his brother and down to the hallway.

"Hallooo? The earth calls Ayato-kun. Did you hear me what I just ask you about?" At once, Laito called out the green-eyed young guy as he waved his hand.

At that moment, Ayato stopped walking when he heard the fedora-hatted young guy calling him. As he did so, he then said, "What?"

As Ayato stated so, Laito replied, " C'mon. Don't you think you can pretend like you don't care? Especially, when it comes to hiding codes."

As Laito had stated, Ayato was still silence since he didn't want to speak about the girls' associate and their discussion about the vampire hunter, he said shortly without looking back, "That's none of your business." When Ayato said it so, he then began to move his feet to the hallway and through students who had recently attended in school.

Seeing is brother walking out of the hallway, Laito smiled when he convinced something intensive impressive. While placing his hand behind the head, he stated,"My, my. Things have happened a lot so lately, huh? Oh, bitch-chan. When did you intend to acquire these problems, anyway? Or rather, how did you plan to cause more grief if slut-chan maybe find out about us?"

The moonlight was still reflecting beautifully at this evening, Ayato was walking alone in the backyard. While a flashback started to recall back when he saw the sepia-headed girl before acknowledging her. As he did, he then assembled their rank that had turned into comrades, an echo of Yui's voice appeared while remembering her saying tenacity while her smile appeared, "Yes. Me too. Be kind to me as well... Mio."

Smack!

At once Ayato smashed his fist on the wall while the memory enraged him. As his eyes were packed of flamed of passion when he soon realized that his reverse was getting on his nerve, he stated roughly, "I won't let you have her...!"
