Sunako's pov

I cannot believe Megumi's crazy scheme actually worked. Kaori, Ritsuko, Megumi and I sat, cross-legged on Megumi's bed, headphones over our ears.

"Ready?" Megumi asked, super excited. She must have found something—she had listened to it first—deleting all the parts where no one was there and thus no proof. She was smiling so wide—any wider and it might as well being falling off her face.

"Just play it," I sighed.

"Okay, here we go. Monday, 5:15, evening." Megumi pressed play, beaming.

It was quiet for a few moments, until there was the sound of footsteps. Then the voices started.

Tohru: (Cheerful) Hey, guys!

Seishin&Natsuno: (Calm) Tohru. Tatsumi.

Paul: (Grunts. No one spoke for a minute or two. Then Paul groaned and said.) This place reeks of those annoying girls.

Natsuno: (in a mocking tone) Oh, I hadn't noticed.

Tohru: (Sniffing) Yup, they were here. I wonder why.

Tatsumi: Snooping, probably. Troublesome girl.

Seishin: (In a teasing tone) And which one is the troublesome girl again?

Tatsumi: (Snarling, like a wild animal) Shut up.

Tohru: (Laughing) Which one of them is your 'troublesome girl'? What's her name? Maize, no. Meg? No. What was it? Oh, yeah. Megumi.

There was a low growling noise, then a sound like breaking glass. I looked at Kaori and Ritsuko. Ritsuko had a concerned mask on her face. Kaori and Megumi winced as the sound of bones cracking could be heard. What is going on! I wanted to asked, but I could not get my mouth to move. Finally, after what seemed like hours when it was only a minute, when a voice was heard.

Seishin: (Annoyed.) Why do I have to be the responsible one? Stop fighting. Both of you! (Low growling, but the breaking noises stopped.)

Tohru: Geez. It was just a joke. You didn't need to break my freaking arm!

Tatsumi: (Snorting) It'll heal before class.

Natsuno: If you two fight like that in BROAD daylight, then what's the point of hiding? (Really emphasizing 'Broad')

Tohru: He started it! If he hadn't called that Amelia girl—

Tatsumi: (Growling) It's not my fault that Troublesome girl and Natsuno's girl had to interfere.

Seishin: Shut up. It's no one's fault that Megumi and Kaori was there. But, those girls are poking around a bit much for my tastes. We saw Megumi in the library she found the stupid book.

Natsuno: We really should burn that encyclopedia.

Tohru: If Nao doesn't kill us first.

Seishin: Why would the Monarchs allowed Nao, a vampire, to write a book about our kind is beyond me.

Tatsumi: I'll fight her off if she—

Megumi stopped the recording. "Need any more proof? Cause, there is more." Megumi played a few more examples. All of them saying what we had been saying the whole time. That Tohru, Natsuno, Seishin and Tatsumi were blood-sucking vampires.

"Oh, my Gosh. Megumi, there are vampires in our school!" Ritsuko bit her lip.

"Worse, there are vampires in our maths class!" Kaori whimpered. "Oh man, guys, what are we going to do!" No one answered her question.

Ritsuko took a deep breath, "I'll tell you what we are going to do. We are going to stay strong and smart, and protect each other."

Yeah, that's real easy coming from the girl who hadn't believed us in the first place but, I kept thinking back to what Tatsumi said about Natsuno's girl. That had to be Kaori right. I wonder what he meant.

Yes I know it is short. But it did give the information the girls needed. So you are gonna have to live with that this chapter is short.
