Hello guys, it's me again! Whoa, I finally reached the 10th chapter and it's been a year already (I'm very sorry for that). Again, thank you to all my supporters and readers who are consistently following my story. You guys are the best!

And yeah, it's already vacation! So I am hoping that I'll have more time writing. Well, actually, I don't do a draft in paper, I just type it directly in MS word :3 If you guys are wondering why I'm taking too long to update

I decided to give some focus on the girls of the Girls Dead Monster

And here I present you the 10th chapter! Enjoy guys and don't forget to read and review! These encourage me to write more! You can put up your ideas about the epilogue by leaving a review :D

After a few moments, Kanade stood up and headed to the door and said, "I'll be heading off first; I have class in 10 minutes."

Yuzuru got out of the infirmary's bed and said, "Let's go together, I'm feeling alright now."

Nope, it's because he felt that something's gonna happen if he left Kanade's side, moreover, to him only. He needed to be careful with those fanatic classmates of his.

"Are you sure?" Kanade said with a slight worried tone. She just got a pat on her head from Yuzuru and a smile from him.

"I'm fine, don't worry." he said to her with a reassuring tone.

Nah, but he can't reassure himself once Kanade's in her class already. But what's gonna be worse than him being inside his own classroom?

They started to walk down the corridors and headed to Kanade's classroom. He hoped that he would arrive to his class first, but it would be rude for him to leave her.

"I'll deal with them later…" He thought to himself. Oh, how would you deal with them?

As they walk around the corridors, Yuzuru could feel the aura of malice from the students around him, making his skin crawl.

"Why do all of you want a piece of me?!" He mentally shouted to all the students around him.

"Yuzuru, are you really alright?" Kanade asked in a worried tone. She noticed that he couldn't seem to calm down.

"Ah…? Yeah, I'm alright. I just have a lot of things running in my head." He replied to her while rubbing the back of his head.

Good thing she doesn't care about the people around her.

~o~O~o~

They arrived at Kanade's classroom and they bid goodbye to each other with a quick kiss which made Kanade blush madly. Her classmates couldn't believe what just played in front of them but of course, they couldn't do a thing about that.

Yeah, it's not good to meddle in the affairs of other people.

So then, when Kanade entered her classroom, there were two things Yuzuru had in mind: get out of here as quickly as possible without a contact with other students and return to his classroom a minute before the class starts or arrive late.

3…
2…
1…

And there, the door of Kanade's class closed, and Yuzuru felt the aura of malice around him grew stronger. The guys' eyes around him (Even the girls too) grew red, and were totally focused to him. So, only one thing was smacked in his mind.

Run for his life.

And so, he did what his brain told him to do, not worrying where he should head to. But of course, not as in running in the corridors, as the regulations of the school says not to. He only 'walked' without paying attention to everyone. Surprisingly to him, they were not chasing him.

Well, after all, they're civilized people.

"I guess I'm just overthinking things a bit…" He said to himself mentally.

He continued to walk down the corridors without looking to anybody, and passed to the bulletin board. Again, he walked back to it because something bugged his eyes out there. After seeing what it was, his face grew red and stepped back a bit.

"WHAT THE HELL….?!" He mentally shouted as he looked directly towards the bulletin board.

Now, his thought of overthinking things was totally erased.

There was an image of him and Kanade inside the infirmary that just happened few moments ago. He was hugging her from behind. Good thing that their kiss wasn't posted there.

Obviously dude, privacy.

"SERIOUSLY…?!" He again shouted mentally. Imagine, it only happened few moments ago! And now it was posted in here already, with some questions that looked like a trivia that can even be answered by a 5-year old kid.

He tore that image and walked away from the bulletin board as he calmed himself down with a thought inside him. This thought was,

"Just how fast this Publication club acts?!"

Don't ask. There's obviously something that drives them crazy.

~o~O~o~

Yuzuru walked away from the bulletin board and looked at his wristwatch. He still had 20 minutes before his class starts at that time so he wondered where he should head to and pass the time. Good thing he only had few subjects that time.

Out of instincts, he arrived at the Music Club room, and only saw Hisako inside looking outside the windows. Without thinking of anything, he opened the door and went inside, probably he felt safer there than any place inside the school.

"Pardon for intrusion…" Yuzuru said as he entered the room.

Hisako looked back to see the person that just entered the room and saw Yuzuru waved his hand and said, "Yo."

"Yo, Otonashi. What brings you here?" She asked him.

"Oh, nothing. I just feel that I'm a lot safer here. Hehe" He said and chuckled nervously.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked again in curiosity.

Yuzuru scratched his right cheek while he was blushing a little and said, "Well, let's just say there are people who're after my head."

"That's funny." Hisako said sarcastically.

"Anyways, what will your club do in the School Festival? I bet that you'll perform a live concert or something." Yuzuru said as he remembered the Festival again.

Hisako placed her hands on her chin with a check sign on it while her right eye was hidden behind her bangs and her left eye was sparkling like diamond which gave Yuzuru a nervous feeling. She then said, "Mhmm, you got it right, but you missed something."

"I did what?" Yuzuru asked in confusion.

"Missed something." She repeated with a 'not amused' look on her face.

"Yeah, I heard that. But what did I miss?" He asked again so it would be clear.

Hisako placed her right foot on a chair and pointed her index finger towards the ceiling while also looking to it and said, "It's gonna be our debut!"

"Hai…?" Yuzuru was left dumbfounded on her statement. And then after a few seconds only the thought of realization hit his thick head and he said, "Debut…? You mean, you guys are going to be an official band?"

Hisako nodded her head up and down with her chest puffed out with pride.

"We aren't even sure if we're really going to be chosen." A girl with pink hair down to her shoulders said as she entered the room. "Don't make things too exaggerated, Hisako."

"You're no fun as always, Iwasawa." Hisako said with a pout. "I was just predicting."

"Wait, wait. What do you mean chosen?" Yuzuru asked in confusion.

"Well, on our concert in the School Festival, there would be onlookers from a certain studio that will watch our performance. They'll observe us if we have potential or whatever they call it." Iwasawa said in a bored tone. "Well, it's not just us that they're observing."

"Well, good luck! I'm rooting for you girls. After all, I'm a fan of yours." He said with a thumbs-up sign.

Hisako was stunned for a moment and looked to him after she heard those words from him. And then an image of her and Yuzuru along with Irie and Sekine appeared inside of her head.

(Hisako's memories)

"See ya, Newbie." A voice echoed inside her head. She recognized it as hers. "We'll form a band in the next life too."

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll be a fan again." Another voice echoed in her thoughts. She recognized this as the voice of the boy in the image appeared inside her head, which was Yuzuru.

"See ya." The 'Hisako' in the memory said and the image went black.

(End of the memory)

And so, after that memory faded black, she was dropped back to earth, with a smile formed on her lips.

"At least he kept his promise. I have nothing to worry about." Hisako said in a very low voice.

The two, Yuzuru and Iwasawa, looked to her with a confused look because she suddenly talked by herself. She caught her stares and an awkward look appeared on her face.

"You're pretty quiet there, Hisako. And then you just talk suddenly on your own." Iwasawa said as she inspected Hisako's face which gave her creeps. "Tell me, have you lost your sanity?"

"I-AM-TOTALLY-SANE!" She defended with her blushing face.

'Go home Hisako, you're probably drunk.' Was what Yuzuru nearly thought.

"You there, I know what you're thinking." Hisako said as her eyes were looking straight to Yuzuru with a sharp look which made Yuzuru freak out a little.

"Oh, crap." Yuzuru thought as he saw Hisako's glares. He learned that she can read minds. "Y-you can read minds…?" he asked to her.

"No, but you're pretty easy to read!" she replied. "Yeah, crap! I'm gonna beat the crap out of you!"

"Alright, alright. This is enough." Iwasawa said as she got between the two. "By the way, Otonashi, you're not here just to hang out, aren't you?"

"Nah, I'm here to hang out for a little bit." He said and huffed. "At least no one's after me here."

Iwasawa knew what he was talking about and said, "Must be tough to be on your shoes eh?"

"Hai, hai." Yuzuru replied in a bored tone.

"Why of all people you had to choose the student council president among other girls." Hisako said without thinking and quickly placed her hands on her mouth as she realized what she just said. "Oh crap." She mentally shouted.

Yuzuru was surprised with what she said and replied to her with an irritated tone, "T-there's no helping it! We need each other to find the truth and…"

"And?" Iwasawa and Hisako asked in unison.

"I love her. I really love her." Yuzuru said in a low voice enough for the two to hear. "So if ever we don't find the truth, at least I have her and she has me."

The two girls giggled as they heard what he said. "Wow, you're pretty honest, aren't you?" Hisako said and placed her right arm around his shoulders. "Sorry, I didn't mean to say what I said earlier."

"It's fine, I know you don't mean it." Yuzuru said. "But I can't believe that there's a club like this in this department, you know." He said as this curiosity entered his mind.

"What club?" Iwasawa and Hisako asked in unison.

"This is the Music Club, right?" Yuzuru asked.

"Well, yeah. But that's just what they call it. Since we're college already, clubs doesn't cross to the student's minds because of schedule. So we're not an official club since a club needs a minimum of 5 members. We just got this room for practice thanks to Kanade-chan." Iwasawa answered his question clearly.

"But how did you make your debut- err, your live concert on the School Festival official?" Yuzuru asked again.

"Well, even though we're not official, we're well-known among the students; which is enough for us to hold one. Plus we got permission to use the gymnasium from the staff thanks again to Kanade-chan." Hisako said and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"And the ticket price would cost how much?"

"Well, I guess 400 yen per piece wouldn't hurt?" Iwasawa answered.

"Yeah. I think it's good." Yuzuru said. "Reserve 2 tickets for me."

"Hai, hai. The time and date will be on the ticket too, since we haven't decided yet on which day and time we'll perform." Iwasawa said to him with a slight annoyed tone.

"Thanks." Yuzuru said and did a hi–five with her. "I should get going now."

"See you around." The two girls said as Yuzuru left the room while waving his hands. The two girls then giggled as he went outside.

"This is going to be interesting." Iwasawa said and Hisako just gave her a nod.

Hope it does, really.

~o~O~o~

*BELL RINGS*

"Haaiii, that's all for today." The professor in Yuzuru's class said as the bell rang. "No assignments for this weekend. Consider yourselves lucky because of the School Festival"

"OH YEAH!" The students in the classroom except for a selected few roared as a response as they heard the good news from the teacher.

The professor left the classroom with a sigh and then the class representative, Arisa Hakurei, took over the professor's place.

"Alright folks, listen up." She said and slammed the teacher's table to get everyone's attention. "We're coming here tomorrow to continue our preparations for the school festival next week, even though we're lacking of time to finish it."

Yuzuru slumped down on his desk lazily and said, "Seriously…?" And then he sighed.

"What? Got a problem?" Arisa asked as she gave him a death glare. "Don't tell me you're off to something?"

Yuzuru shot up and sat down on his chair straight. "N-nope. Absolutely nothing." He said while bullets of sweat were running down on his face. He just can't afford to anger this lioness.

The class rep sighed. "Anyways, let's go back to our –" she was cut off as someone entered the room.

As the person entered the room, everyone gasped excluding one student because of a certain beauty was seen in front of them. The excluded someone was Yuzuru.

It was Kanade, the one he love the most, entered the room.

Yuzuru smiled at her as he saw her in his classroom. He just can't believe how lucky he was at that point of time.

"Good afternoon. I have news to bring out to you." Kanade said as she stood in front of the class.

"What could that be, Prez?" Arisa asked.

"The school festival was moved to the week after next week, so you guys will still have a week to prepare. I know everyone's short on time so the time needed for preparations is extended." Kanade explained the details. "So, no one needs to come to school tomorrow."

"One week? That's too long for a preparation." Arisa wondered.

"Well, there would be visitors from different places around this country that will take a look on the event. Plus, we need many visitors for the school's promotion. So the staff will need to advertise; tarpaulins, flyers, etc. are not out of the question." Kanade again explained to her. "After all, this is no ordinary school. And our School Festival will last for 5 days." She continued.

"Got it. Thanks Prez." Arisa said and bowed.

"Don't mention it." Kanade smiled at her and walked towards the door, which she didn't know that she melted everyone's heart due to her smile. "Oh, before I forget. Yuzuru, can you come to the student council office? I have some things to discuss with you." She said and looked back to him while her index finger was on her cheek.

He blushed as he saw her cute pose.

Yuzuru knew that Kanade just lighted the bomb on him, or pushed him on a landmine. "O-okay." He replied to her and Kanade left the room.

All of Yuzuru's classmates looked directly towards him with their eyes glowing red. He knew what could happen next if he won't leave the classroom right away, but how would he do that?

"OTONASHI…." The crowd said as they stood up and walked slowly towards him.

Yuzuru heartbeat increased as they were approaching him and suddenly everyone went back to their normal states as someone again opened the doors and entered the room.

"Yo, Otonashi! Could you help me move our personal sound system to our rehearsal room?" The certain someone, which was Hisako, said as she walked towards Yuzuru and grabbed him by his arms.

"B-but…!" Yuzuru protested.

Hisako whispered to him, "Do you still want to live?"

He knew what she meant by that, judging from his surroundings. "Okay, okay."

"Sorry guys, I'm going to borrow this guy for a while!" Hisako said as she gave them a grin and went outside the room while dragging Yuzuru out.

Much to Yuzuru's luck again, the inquisition was cancelled. Well, you know what it is.

~o~O~o~

Yuzuru and Hisako stopped in front of a certain room. That certain room was the student council office, only known by Hisako, since Yuzuru wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.

"Thanks, you saved me there." Yuzuru said as he leaned on the corridor windows. "Can't afford to get caught by them again." He continued.

"Hahaha, don't mention it." Hisako said as she tapped Yuzuru's shoulder while chuckling. "You really have it tough, eh?"

"Yeah…" Yuzuru said as he tilted his head backwards and looked at the sky.

"Rather than leaning there, shouldn't you be off to somewhere else?" Hisako said as she walked away waving her hands. "See ya."

Yuzuru just remembered what just Kanade asked from him and mentally said to himself, "Crap.". He tilted his head forward and just realized that he was in front of his destination. He thought that Hisako just knew what had happened earlier.

"I guess I owe her another thanks." Yuzuru thought and entered the room in front of him.

"Pardon for intrusion…" Yuzuru said as he entered the student council room.

He observed the room and found out that it was empty. He wondered where the members of the student council were off to.

*BUZZ*

Yuzuru's phone vibrated and he took it out. He got a message from Kanade. The message said:

Yuzuru, about the thing that we should discuss today, I need help. Can you wait me in the student council room if you're already there?

#iLUVu Yuzuru :3

Yuzuru blushed after he finished reading the message. He then took a seat near the window and waited for Kanade's arrival.

~o~O~o~

After a few minutes of waiting, the door of the student council room opened, but Yuzuru didn't pay attention to it because he was dozing off. The sight outside the window is just too overwhelming.

"Yuzuru…?" The person that just entered the room called.

Yuzuru looked to where the voice came from and saw Kanade inside the room that just entered. "Ah, Kanade. You're here." He said.

"I have a favor to ask…" She said with a slight blush.

"Go on." Yuzuru said with a smile on his face.

"Can you help me with the student council works until the school festival ends? We're kind of short on hand right now…" Kanade asked as she walked towards near Yuzuru and took a seat in front of him.

"Sure, why not?" He answered quickly.

"Are you sure? This may have some conflict in your schedule with your preparations in your class." She said with a worried look on her face.

Yuzuru thought of how crazy his classmates whenever there were no professors in his classroom. "I'd prefer to be out of the classroom than to be inside." He said with an awkward look on his face.

No, he really just can't get afford to be questioned again.

"Thank you!" Kanade replied and jumped to Yuzuru and hugged him. "You're the best."

"Anything for you, Kanade." He said and hugged her back. "I guess it's time to go home?"

"Yeah, let's go. Mom should be home right now." She replied and dragged Yuzuru out of the room.

Yeah, he hoped that Kanzashi-san's really home right now. Not like she didn't want Kanade to stay in his place, but the danger if the school finds it out. Well, as people said, expect the unexpected.

~o~O~o~

The two couple got out of the school grounds and started to walk to the train station that will bring them to their destination, err, I mean, help bring them to their destination. Trains can't stop in front of their houses right?

They got in the train and surprisingly, there's a lot of people inside than it usually do. Probably because it's weekend and those who were boarding far away from their hometown must be going home right now. Well, not that they care though.

Their journey in the train was filled with silence, not because of the awkwardness between them, but because there's just too many people around them. And it's very embarrassing to talk about 'it' when there's too many audience.

They got out of the train after several minutes and started walking to Kanade's house. And out of nowhere, or due to the awkward silence around them, a question suddenly went inside Kanade's mind and blurted it out.

"Yuzuru, what will your class do in the class festival?" Kanade asked.

Yuzuru's reaction was like he was shot by an arrow on the head. It's not like he doesn't know what his class will do in the school festival, since he belongs to that CLASS. Yeah, it's not like that…

"Err, why do you ask?" He replied while scratching his cheek with an awkward look on his face.

"You asked what our class will do, so asking what your class will do will make us even." She replied with a beaming smile on her face.

'Ah, that smile of hers is so bright.' Yuzuru thought to himself and smiled too.

"Hai, hai." He said with a sigh of defeat. "Well, it's a Chinese café or something. The class rep of our class went overseas before so she's kinda crazy over these things. Surprisingly the whole class agreed to her." He continued.

Truth to be told, it took all of his mental power to remember all of it, since he paid no attention when they were having a meeting about it.

"I see." Kanade said. "Would you mind if I visit this café of yours when the School Festival starts?" she asked.

"I wouldn't, in fact, I'll be glad too." He replied and patted her head with a smile on his lips.

Wondering why he was smiling? Well, it's not like his classmates can wreak havoc when they're on business, right?

They arrived at Kanade's house a few moments after their talk. Kanade pushed the doorbell and waited for her mom to come out. Usually Kanade just goes inside the house around these times, but today's an exception. Wonder why.

Few seconds later, Kanzashi went out of the house and approached them at the gates and Yuzuru greeted her, "Good Evening, Kanzashi-san."

"Ah, Yuzuru-kun. Good evening too. Sorry about yesterday, it was sudden." Kanzashi bowed to him. He wondered why she called him by his first name so suddenly. Not like he don't want to.

"Err, it's nothing. Really." He said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Mind having a dinner with us? I have something important to discuss with you along with Kanade-chan." Kanzashi said.

"Sure, I don't mind." He replied and he went inside the house along with Kanade and Kanzashi.

~o~O~o~

Yuzuru sat on the couch in the living room, while Kanzashi was preparing the dinner, and Kanade taking a shower. He then remembered something he shouldn't forget, call his little sister in case he comes home late. He then pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialled his sister's number, or rather the phone of the house, in case her phone was in her room and she was cooking.

He stood up and went to the window in the living room and waited for Hatsune to answer the phone.

"Hello, Otonashi residence. This is Hatsune speaking." A voice which Yuzuru recognized as Hatsune's said as the phone was picked up.

"Ah, Hatsune. It's me." Yuzuru said.

"Onii-chan? Where are you at this point of time?" Hatsune asked with a slight worried tone.

"I'm at Kanade's place right now; we're just having a talk for a moment." He said. "Don't include me for dinner, they invited me."

"Alright. Take care, onii-chan!" She said and hung the phone up.

Yuzuru smiled. Things were going pretty well for him. Well, what's there to worry about seriously?

Kanzashi walked towards Yuzuru and said, "Dinner's ready, can you call Kanade-chan upstairs?"

"Sure thing." Yuzuru said and went upstairs.

He then walked to the last room as he remembered that it was Kanade's room. He knocked on the door twice and said, "Kanade, dinner's ready."

The door opened and Kanade went outside. He blushed a little to see her in her pajamas.

'You little lolicon!' somewhat his imagination's messing with him again, and he heard this voice somewhere in his mind.

"Let's go." She said as she got out of the room and grabbed Yuzuru's hands and went downstairs.

Somehow they felt comfortable with each other and the awkward atmosphere around them lessened. It's a good thing though.

~o~O~o~

"Itadakimasu~" The three people in the dining room said and started digging their food out.

"I'll cut to the chase now." Kanzashi said as she placed her utensils on her plate.

"Hm…?" Was the only reaction Kanade and Yuzuru given.

Kanzashi sighed. "Remember the conference I attended yesterday?" She asked.

"Mhm. What of it?" Kanade asked.

"It was actually an International Conference sponsored by a popular school in California." Kanzashi expanded the details. "And this school is kind of mixed with Japanese preferences. And I was chosen to have a trip there and be a temporary teacher for a week starting tomorrow."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" Kanade said in a higher tone as she dropped her eating utensils and realized what her mom's going to do.

As what Kanzashi said, Yuzuru just thought of one thing…

'She', Kanzashi, is a sadist mom. He's sure of it.
