Festival of the Newest Vampire
Next afternoon Shizuma woke up after a very long sleep. Somehow she felt refreshed, and energetic than ever. She looked at the clock, it was very early and enough time left for school. School... The word reminded her the incidents last night. Ten new type vampires and a girl were making her sick day by day. She sat there for a while to think and decided that it'd be folly to hide from her butler any longer, as things were getting tougher than she thought.
"You woke up, princess?"
Shizuma was startled to hear her butler's voice suddenly. She gulped and looked at him. There was an awful look on Akatsuki's face.
"What's up, butler?"
"Your meal is almost ready. Please get ready for school and come down to dining room." With that, he turned to leave.
The vampire girl knew something was off. She grabbed her butler's hand.
"What's it, ninja? Tell me what happened."
"I'd like to ask the same, Shizuma-sama."
Akatsuki's cold tone made Shizuma let his hand go. Then an worried look appeared on her face to recall how she swallowed the medical bloods in front of her butler last night. Being unable to remember afterwards, she thought maybe she fainted and Akatsuki took her bed. She assumed her butler was pissed to see her like that last night.
"Ninja...I'm sorry. I didn't want to get you more worried than you already are. That's why I hid that I couldn't-..."
"I already supposed that when you asked to order a large number of blood bags on that other day." Her butler cut her off but was a bit gentler now. "Lately you're having a hard time to control yourself...want to talk about it?"
"Yeah..." Shizuma looked down. "It's because of...those pieces of shit! I can't control myself whenever their fucking smell enters my nostrils, even those half-bloods are adding fuels!...You're a half-blood but it never happened with you!"
"As I supposed..." The ninja vampire looked at his mistress, "But if you think my smell never intrigued you, then I'm sorry to say that...you're absolutely wrong, princess."
"WHAT!"
"It's just...you're habituated with me, that's why you didn't realize."
"No way, butler!" The girl exclaimed. "You're like my father. I could never think anything like that. Besides, I've chosen to live as a human, not as a vampire."
"Shizuma-sama...it won't go as your wish. You can't deny your other self. I don't think you remember what exactly you did last night, and from now this will be the real challenge for you."
"I know that...finishing the blood-bags like a maniac... That's why now I need a huge amount of these even if it takes ten hospitals..."
"It wasn't all that happened..." Akatsuki said with a pause, "If you did recall fully, then you should've realized by now... Medical blood-bags won't work for you any more..."
"HUH!? What the...!"
The ninja vampire took off his black overcoat. Then he rolled up the sleeve of his shirt until it reached his arm. The vampiress saw in horror that there was a familiar wound mark of two holes, undoubtedly made by a pair of fangs.
"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?"
"Should I tell you that, princess? It's YOU who did it."
Shizuma couldn't believe her ears. It's impossible, she wasn't supposed to do that. But her butler would never lie to her. Then she felt a sweet leftover taste in her mouth. It was definitely not the tasteless medical blood, then what was it? The blood of her butler? Is it the thing that was refreshing and satisfying unlike medical blood?
But then she realized what she told her butler just now. She wanted to live as human, her butler was her second father, she wanted to get along with other humans to have friends like Haruna and Momoka. Instead, she was turning just like the demons she used to kill. She couldn't accept the fact and eventually tears flew from her golden eyes after many years.
"I'm so sorry, butler! I failed to control myself from being monster." She sobbed like a child, "I shouldn't have done this-..."
Akatsuki smiled and gently hugged her mistress. "You're not a failure, princess. Neither you're a monster. Think about how many lives you saved. And I'm really glad to know that you could manage to control yourself all this time at school. To me, you're always my good princess and nothing can change that. Both of us know that we never want this blood-thirst to happen" He wiped her tears and patted her head. Then the sound of the doorbell was heard. They both went downstairs and Akatsuki opened the door to find the white bearded old man, Socrates. Shizuma hid herself behind a sofa to see him.
"Princess, I know you're here. Please show yourself. You don't need to be scared." said the old human.
"Shizuma-sama, you know senpai is always understanding to us. You need to talk to him." The butler also pleaded. Eventually their princess raised her head to show.
"Umm...Snowman...I-I..."
"Calm down at first. Let us know what exactly made you do that last night." Socrates sat on a sofa.
Shizuma sat and took a long breath. And she said everything that happened with the vampires at the rooftop of her school.
"Why didn't you tell me that, princess!?" Akatsuki surely was furious to hear about his mistress being attacked.
"What could you possibly do?! To get ourselves caught!?"
"I knew this would happen someday." The old human said.
"You...did?!"
"Yes...and those half-bloods have turned by those pure-bloods' father, not uncle. They might be rivals for that girl, but basically they're on the same team. Shizuma needs to watch out from now."
"But how am I supposed to! Every time I smelt them, I turned like that. And last night I was totally out of control! I was lucky it didn't happen at the rooftop!"
"It's because you got the elite pure-bloods and their half-blood clan for the first time and they're too many to handle at once. They've got this unique feature to attract their enemies by smell. This is why it's happening with you." Akatsuki said.
"Then let it happen." Socrates said firmly.
"Huh?" Shizuma was puzzled.
"What did you mean, senpai?" The ninja vampire was also unable to get him.
"Akatsuki has experiences of facing all the vampires, that's why he's habituated with smell issues and totally fine with medical bloods. But Shizuma can't control herself right now." The old human looked directly at the vampire girl. "Even though you don't remember biting your butler, you should've realized already that sucking blood from a body is much different than drinking medical blood from bags."
"Snowman! Are you giving me bite-permit now?!" The vampiress yelled. "How could you?!"
"I'm a human who passed a lot of time dealing with the vampires. And you're my dear princess, so I'll definitely advise for your best. You've almost gone overboard to control yourself. If you don't stop forcing now, you'll eventually lose all your senses because of severe blood thirst and you might rampage on the humans. So, what should be the better option?"
"But as a vampire hunter, I shouldn't do that, right? I mean, to show humans what I'm. Besides," Shizuma was upset. "I'll never do anything to hurt or scare them off."
"I know what you mean. I heard your Zara-X classmate who knows about you is here and you want to get along. But, she'll be your true friend only if she understands your situation. So, first of all, you've to accept yourself as a vampire, or you won't be able to live like a human as well."
"I agree with senpai, yet it'll be difficult to convince a human to get bitten." Akatsuki said.
"I didn't say about biting humans." Socrates then had a different expression, "Because, it's not any human's blood which is fascinating her, right?"
That made both the vampires shocked.
"Senpai, please make it clear!" The ninja vampire had doubts on something that the old human might suggest.
"Don't worry, Akatsuki. I won't recommend her to bite her father-like butler." Then he turned to the girl. "If their blood-smell allures you that much, then why not take the blood for real?"
Now Shizuma didn't see that coming. "You gotta be fucking kidding me, Snowman...!" Her golden eyes widened.
"They feed on by sucking blood, you already witnessed one and later they made a move on you too. So, don't you want to teach those vampire boys a proper lesson?"
Now this flared up the silver-haired beauty. She remembered how Ruki bit Yui for no reason, how eight vampires together were about to bite and rape her. That made her teeth, no, fangs clenched. Just thinking of them makes her raged.
"Shizuma..." Socrates said to see her vampire form, "You also need to learn to control yourself once you get used to." Then he tossed a medical blood-bag to her.
"I'll try my best, Snowman. After all, I'm a human first." But she already knew this was going to be her last blood-bag.
Shizuma got surprised at school. The school was being decorated by the students. There were lively happy noises of the students everywhere, which made the vampire girl feel much better. It was finally feeling like to be at school. But she didn't know the occasion.
"Maybe they're celebrating of me screwing those vamp bugs." She laughed herself, then startled by a tap on her shoulder.
"Hey." The mix-blood was greeted by her blonde human classmate.
"Hi...umm...I forgot your name, sorry." She scratched her head.
"It's fine. It's Xen Kekashi." He smiled.
"So, Kekashi. What's going on here?"
"Oh...you missed classes yesterday that's why you don't know. They announced for cultural festival today."
"Whoa! Does that happen in this creep- I mean night school?" She never thought this elegant night school as a normal high-school.
"I was also surprised to hear. Reinhart sensei planned for it first time."
"Rein-what?"
"Reinhart. He's the school doctor as well as the school committee chief."
"I see. Finally someone did a good job here."
"Yeah...okay, see you later then. Three of us got the duties of banners. There're a lot of work to finish within two hours."
"Mind if I lend a hand?"
"You'll!?" Xen was clearly excited.
"Yeah, if Pigtails allows..."
"You know her, she might yell but she actually will be happy to have you there."
The silver-haired girl and the honey-blonde guy started to walk together. The girl spoke up.
"It's been feeling weird since I joined here. But today is the one I could expect as a high-school student."
"Same here...but you see." Xen looked at her. "Things are getting better after you came."
"How so?"
"You did something that no one will ever forget, this festival is happening just after you joined. It feels kinda normal than before."
So, this is how was going on. The school is haunted because of vampires. The girl thought the fact.
And just when Shizuma's cheery mood started to enlighten, it darkened to see the Mukami brothers coming from the opposite side, followed by some of Kou's fangirls. Soon they came side by side.
These blood-sucking asses never seemed interested in human stuffs. Then why they had to come to ruin the festive as well as my mood!?
The girl ignored them with an annoying hiss. And that made Yuma nearly yell at her, but he managed to control. Kou then said to his fangirls,
"Well, if it isn't S-neko-chan passing by..."
"Huh? She's a Do-S ?! What a freak!"
"I wonder if guys would keep chasing her after knowing this...hehe."
Shizuma stopped and almost wanted to shove her fist inside of that blonde asshole's mouth. But Xen said,
"Just ignore them, Tsubaki. You don't need to have a bad mood because of them."
"Yeah, right." She smiled and kept talking the guy beside her.
Ruki eyed her from corner but tried his best to ignore as well. Even though Kou was talking with his fangirls, his mind was filled with the silverette beauty. Only Azusa was being honest to stare the girl and the human guy with a sad look. Yes, they're obviously annoyed with her from the beginning. But somehow, seeing Shizuma walking happily with another guy was more disturbing right now.
Shizuma and Xen entered a spare classroom where few students were working. Haruna and Momoka was there.
"Whoa! How Ponytail got in here?"
"She wants to help us, Haruna."
"Really? How odd."
"You're the one who's being odd here." Shizuma snorted.
"We don't need your help!" Haruna showed annoyance as usual.
"Heh! Looks like it's the first thing you might want, within two hours..." Pointing all the disorganized things.
"Stop that Haruna. We do need some help and she's willing." Momoka then turned to the latter. "We could use your help."
"Whatever...start working then!" The twin-tailed girl tried not to be excited, she needed to beat her former rival for once before they become friends.
Four of them started to work. Shizuma's swiftness actually sped up their work. They finished cutting all the papers and hardboard within an hour. Then they started to color. Haruna had a wicked idea suddenly. Suddenly she splashed a bit of color on Shizuma.
"Sorry, I didn't see you."
Shizuma saw the chance to get along with her. She did the same.
"Sorry Pigtails, it's an accident."
"You...!" Haruna took another bottle of color.
"Oi you two! What do you think you're doing!?" Momoka yelled.
"Can't you see? We're doing this!" Shizuma laughed splashing on the shortest girl.
"Thanks, Tsubaki. Now we don't have to see Momoka's angry face hehe." Xen laughed to see three color splashed girls.
"Then I'll hide your girly face too, Xen!" With that Momoka avenged by splashing him.
Soon four of them started a color splash fight. The other students warned them and got out of the room not wanting to ruin their uniform. But those four didn't care, they wanted to enjoy this rare moment to the fullest. The hybrid-vampire girl was really happy and she wished this moment wouldn't end. But she stopped suddenly, having a familiar smell. This was one particular scent and by then she knew who it was.
"Do you want something, Gofer?" She turned her head to the doorway.
Yui was watching them for long. She smiled to see the form of friendship, but also sighed for her own loneliness. She didn't think her new partner would notice her.
"Umm...I was searching for you. For our usual stuffs."
"The classes are off because of cultural festival. So, I can permit you a leave for today." She went to the shorter girl, wiping her face.
"I know that. We came for the festival."
"Huh? Did you just say 'we'?" Shizuma raised an eyebrow.
"Yes...all of us came."
As usual, the taller girl got annoyed like when she met the Mukamis.
"Shizuma-chan, I needed to talk to you." Yui said nervously.
"About what?"
"I can't tell you here right now. Besides, you're busy with decorations. The program will start an hour later at the school ground, then I'll meet you up at the rooftop."
"Rooftop again?!"
"Please do come, Shizuma-chan. I'll be waiting." With that, Yui started running.
The vampire girl was stunned, but then again she got doubts.
Are they setting up another trap for me, this time using Gofer? This is why they came at the festival... Well then, I'll have another surprise for them, and this time I won't care even if I've to create a crime scene!"
Then she turned to the three friends who were still playing. "Enough guys, we need to finish before the show starts."
After the coloring was done, they cleaned their faces but their blazers were ruined. Haruna suggested,
"We can change into the costumes of cosplay."
"That's a great idea. But what costumes we'd get?" Momoka asked.
"I checked at the changing room. There'll be probably maid, princess, witches, clown dresses. For guys there might be warrior or prince costume."
"Oh all are out of my choice. I'll just go for another uniform that I kept in my locker."
"That's too boring...I'll go for princess or maid probably. Xen, what's your choice?"
"It depends..." Xen couldn't decide then, but suddenly his eyes fell on silverette mix-blood who didn't seem interested in costumes. Without realizing, he began fantasizing her in princess costume and him being in a prince costume, dancing together in the final dance show of the festival.
"And what're you planning, Ponytail?"
"I didn't think of it, I'd probably go with Sacchi."
"Ugh, it's Sachan." Momoka corrected her.
Shizuma's mind already diverted from the festival to Yui and the vampires. So, her ruined uniform wasn't bothering her at all.
"Okay all the coloring is done. Now let's place them to decorate, Momoka. You two take care of these other cartons." The two girls split up from them.
Xen picked up three big cartons together. But they were too heavy for him, he was about to fall before Shizuma grabbed those.
"I'll carry them. You take these two."
"But you-..." Before Xen could finish his line, he saw the girl carrying three heavy cartons easily and walking relaxed.
She's that strong maybe from intense training. That's what the human blonde guy thought.
At the hallway, those two were decorating. Shizuma stood on a chair to place the ribbons and Xen was helping her from down holding a carton. But suddenly the chair began to shake which made the girl losing balance. The guy noticed that and dropped the carton to catch her from falling, but he was late. The girl fell down but she wasn't on the ground. Xen's aquamarine eyes widened to see Shizuma being carried bridal style by another guy, and the guy was none other than...Laito Sakamaki!
The girl was eyes shut expecting pain but felt being held by someone. First she thought it was Xen, but when that unforgettable pure-blood scent hit her, then her eyes shot open, to see the fedora-head vampire smiling.
"Looks like I was in time."
Shizuma didn't answer. Somehow she was lost in Laito's smile and scent.
"Well, you didn't have to!" Xen was pissed. "I could've got her too."
The girl got in sense hearing her classmate's harsh voice. She realized that she's been caught by one of her enemies.
"Put me down, you Manwhore Sakamaki!"
"Well, it's not so nice of you calling me like that...but I can be up for you, Shizuma-chan." The redhead winked before putting her down. But suddenly his tone changed, "You should be thankful that I didn't throw you on the floor..."
"All the green eyed redheads are assholes I guess!" She gritted her teeth. "We don't have time for this, Kekashi." She turned to leave but the hipster vampire gripped her hand and pulled her to him. Her hands pressed on his chest to prevent further touching.
"Perhaps I better call you Tough-chan as you were really rough and tough yesterday..." He whispered wrapping his hands around her waist, making eye contact.
"You haven't seen anything yet..." Shizuma also murmured looking up to him.
"Then show me..."
"Hey! Let her go!" Xen didn't hear their whispers but he could tell the lust of the school's biggest playboy was now set after the new girl. And of course he didn't want that. He grabbed Shizuma's shoulder.
"Tsubaki, you can't waste your time on this loser."
The hybrid vampiress then pushed the pure-blood vampire off harshly enough to make him nearly fall.
"You know what, you're lucky that it's cultural festival and my mood is pretty good. You better not ruin it or else you might lose your wiener of a manwhore!" She said in a firm voice. "Let's go Kekashi."
Laito kept watching them walking away. He just chuckled lightly, but his mind was filled with anger.
Too tough Shizuma-chan...you're making me want you more and more...And I always get what I want...
Four of them met at cosplay room after finishing the decorations. Haruna was holding a maid outfit and Momoka was in a clean uniform. Shizuma and Xen still unchanged. Then Haruna said,
"Oi, you guys get changed asap! We don't wanna miss the show." She left for changing. Momoka followed her.
"Tsubaki, have you decided to be in uniform then?" Xen asked.
"Yes, it's far comfortable than these lace hills. And by the way Kekashi, thanks for today. If you weren't there, I wouldn't have held back myself from beating that Bitch."
"You don't need to thank, can I just have a favor if it's not much to ask?" The blonde guy took the chance to fulfill his fantasy.
"What's it?"
"Umm...in the end of the program there'll be a final couple dance show. And I want you to be my dance partner." Xen said hesitantly.
"Sure why not? But I can't dance. So you better watch out to keep your feet safe." Shizuma didn't judge anything of this human guy. He was Haruna's friend and it was just a dance he was asking for.
"So can't I." He laughed, "We could make a weird dance to catch attention."
Shizuma excused herself and went to the locker room for another uniform. But there was nothing except the gym suite in her locker. Then she remembered that she didn't keep it in the locker. She called her butler.
"Hey, ninja."
"Hello, princess. How's it going there?"
"It's fine now. I need a favor. It's cultural festival here. I ruined my uniform by color while decorating with Pigtails and her friends. Could you get me my second uniform here? You don't need to enter or those bugs will sense you."
"Well, Shizuma-sama, you just wore that spare uniform today. But that's not the problem. The problem is one piece of your other uniform was missing last night... And it was the collar tie of your former school suit."
"Really?! You know I was in hurry maybe I left it here. You don't need to come because I guess I'll manage with this. Later." Shizuma hanged up the phone quickly. She began to worry and searched frantically in the entire locker room. That signature motif of Zara-X was really important to her, more than Ryotei's uniform. She couldn't find it. Then she heard the announcement to start the cultural festival from outside. She sighed and decided to keep in her colored uniform.
"Whoa...! The show has started, you still didn't change?" Haruna yelled.
There was something Shizuma remembered. "Umm...no. I don't feel like to join now."
"But..." Xen looked upset.
"You guys go ahead, I'll catch you later."
"But please do come at the final show, okay?"
"I'll try." She went off. The three friends were wondering what happened now.
Yui was waiting at the rooftop holding something. She could hear the sound of the festival. Everyone was happy down there enjoying programs, just not her. How much she wanted to join there, but knew she couldn't. Then she heard footsteps, looked back to see the door being opened. Within a few moments, the silver haired beauty stood in front of her.
"So, Gofer. What's it you want to talk about?" Shizuma didn't show her curiosity.
Yui took a breath and went towards her. "Umm...Shizuma-chan. I want to ask something." She said with a pause. "What made you hate them so much?"
"Well, by 'them' if you mean those mosquitoes around you...then for your answer, they're hateable, that's why." The silverhead beauty said monotonously.
"But why do you think they're hateable?"
"Tch! I already told that yesterday. Now may I ask why you always take their side even though they treat you like a shit!? It's because you live with them and can't pay for your rent? Then get your ass outta there! You could live a better life in the street rather than this."
"No, they're not as bad as you think."
"Oh, then come to think about..." Shizuma was pissed of course but changed her tone changed into sarcasm, "They're really popular with girls but you got all of them on your feet. It must be enjoyable for you, isn't it?"
"That's enough of you, Shizuma-chan!" Somehow the shorter girl got courage in herself. "You're the one who started this!"
The taller girl raised her eyebrow at this sudden change. But before she could say something, she got the vampire smell in the air. Within a moment she could see ten vampires behind Yui. They were a bit far from the girls.
"Wow... M-neko-chan is fighting S-neko-chan for us." Kou said in a low tone.
"As expected, our Bitch-chan is really different. I'm touched." Laito also whispered.
"Shut up and let's watch this cat-fight." Yuma said.
Yui didn't know about the vampires being behind. Shizuma now suspected of them having doubts on her, that's why they're messing with her continuously.
"Gofer, If you've called me here just to tell this shit, then congratulations, you've successfully registered yourself to their group of buggers and officially become my enemy!" She turned to leave.
"You know, Shizuma-chan." Yui stopped her. "The reason I called you here is that I've something that belongs to you." She showed the sailor collar tie of Zara-X Academy.
Shizuma's eyes widened to see that. "How the hell did you get it?!"
"When you went away from rooftop, I followed you to talk to you. Because I didn't believe that you had apologized to them. But when I reached at the locker room, you weren't there. I just found this and-..."
Before she could finish her line, Shizuma snatched it away. "So, you took this to use it to blow me, huh? Like what I did with Ruki Mukami? Well, at least I took it unintentionally and that Smartass got himself into this. But you're even worse than me!"
"No I didn't! I just wanted to talk to you...so that you don't get hurt!"
"Haah?! Trying to protect me by making me apologize to them! Did they tell you what actually happened last night!? I don't think so, then I'm telling you...they all attacked me!"
"They attacked you!?" Yui was shocked.
"Yes, and for your so-called worries, I already KNOW FROM THE BEGINNING what they're...blood-sucking beasts in human form...fucking vampires! Yesterday your wound that I asked about, I had already seen with my own eyes how you got it! And at the rooftop last night, I possibly would've ended up turning into blood container like you or being fucked and killed, if I hadn't fought back! You should be happy that I didn't let those three know!"
The shorter girl was speechless. This is what she was feared of. Then she was startled by a voice behind.
"Shizuma isn't fool like you or others, Yui. After all, she's from Zara-X Academy." The glass wearing vampire finally spoke up.
Both girls were shocked now. Yui was because to see all the vampires, Shizuma was because to hear about her former school.
"Zara-X Academy? I think I heard of it." Ruki said.
"Yes, it's the famous vocational girls school for combat at Kyoto. Because of the troublesome demons, the school was established specially to train girls in fighting. Yesterday I noticed the badge when I saw that clothing in Yui's hand, then I checked Shizuma's background from files for confirmation." Reiji informed.
"So, it finally makes sense how she was tough last night huh? Miss Tough-chan, you know you're too much..." Laito scoffed.
"In that case, there's a reason to transfer here..." This time Shu was standing with his brothers. He directly looked at Shizuma. "And I suppose, the reason is...us."
The mix-blood closed her gold eyes frustrated. She's about to be busted without killing a single vampire. And if it happens, she'd be the one to be out of the school because Reiji is the student council president and he could accuse her for carrying weapons for murder attempt, not to mention their father's involvement in the school.
"Melon has guts to think about killing us!" Ayato growled. "Now we'll get you outta here, so that you never come back!"
"Then do this already! I don't wanna see her face any more!" Subaru shouted.
"That Haruna girl is from that school too, right? But she never bothers us much. You should've learnt from her." Kanato said.
"You know, time was going peacefully before you came here." Ruki said.
"It's true that we're mean..." Yuma commented, "But, ya're the meanest bitch ever!"
"S-neko-chan," Kou mocked. "Sorry but your game is over."
"Shizuma-chan..." Yui said sadly. "It's better for you and us all that you leave this school...no one here knows about vampires. I heard there're monsters where you came from. So, you should go back and help people there."
Shizuma was digesting all the insults closing her eyes. At a moment, she heard the announcement for next show from school ground.
It's showtime indeed.
Within seconds, the silver-haired beauty grabbed Yui and turned her around to face the vampires. She was hugging her tightly from behind, then brushed her curly blonde hair away from neck.
"As I thought..." Shizuma said in a cold tone still eyes closed. "You guys came to this festival for me...you're bitching now so that I slip off my mouth, right? Well, what you don't know is that you've done a great mistake for which I'm gonna make you all regret for eternity! And I'll start with you, Yui Komori. As you're the one who pissed me off most!" With that she lowered her head.
Suddenly Yui felt a sharp familiar pain on her neck before she knew, but this was the severest she ever had. Her whole body got numb and she couldn't scream.
It's Shizuma-chan behind me, not the vampires... Then why does it hurt like...
The vampires were surprised at the sudden action but couldn't see clearly as they stood far. But in no time, they got the smell of Yui's blood.
"What the fuck! Why's Pancake bleeding?" Ayato walked towards them. "Oi Melon, what're you doing with-..." He stopped at few feet ahead and froze when the scene was clear.
"What's wrong, Ayato?" Reiji came to stand beside him. "Oh my...!" His crossed arms fell down at the sight.
Eventually all the vampires came nearer and saw what exactly was going on.
"WHOA!" Kou put his hands on mouth, his right eye was red now.
Ruki was like thunderstruck. Laito, Kanato, Subaru, Yuma and Azusa were jaw dropped and gasped. Even all time unfazed Shu widened his blue eyes with horror. Of course they doubted Shizuma Tsubaki more than a simple human but what they're witnessing now...was beyond their imagination.
Yui's head tilted, Shizuma's lips pressed on her neck, blood dripping from there. Then slowly the taller girl removed herself and let the shorter girl fall. Yui sat down eyes widened...still not realizing what just happened. Then she looked up to see the other girl coughing and spitting her blood. She couldn't swallow the blood somehow.
Finally the silver haired beauty slowly raised her head and opened her eyes. The next view for Yui and the vampires was, Shizuma's beautiful face with an animalistic look, red glowing eyes instead of golden eyes, a bloody mouth featuring two pairs of fangs where once normal teeth were.
Suddenly applause and loud cheers of the students were heard from ground after a few programs ended.
"That was a great show!"
"Nope, the second show was the coolest!"
"It's Reinhart sensei who's cool, thanks to him for this festival!"
"Hey the final event is up next, couple dance."
"Whom you're gonna pair with...?"
But the people at the rooftop weren't concerned about this. The show put up by the new girl was too much to take for the ten vampire guys.
Shizuma is a human, right? But the girl in front is just like us... A blood-sucking beast in human form...
