Nocturnal Maidens
-chapter 6-
Apricot's energy ball was just a few centimeters in front of the half-vampire's face, before it bounced back, as if there was an invisible shield between Riku and the ball. The energy ball headed straight back for Apricot, but the said woman jumped out of the way with a curse.
The ball hit the stone wall, and faded into oblivion.
Riku opened her eyes, a serious look on her face. Before her lips curved into a bright smile. "Now, now. Don't make me too angry, Apri-chan." She tsked, waving her finger side by side annoyingly.
Ignoring Apricot's death glare, she then turned to the dumbfounded BladeBreakers. "Thanks, Ty. I can't believe I almost gave up. Arigatou." She grinned,
Blushing, Tyson looked away. "Iya... machini..."
At that, Apricot smirked. "Zo... you two are in love, huh?" She turned to Riku with a menacing smile, then teleported beside Tyson. Before said boy could react, a whip slashed at his cheek and a scream passed his lips. Apricot ignored the angry yells of the other BladeBreakers and smirked, her eyes never leaving Riku's. "How'z zat, Azuki?"
Riku's smile faded, only to be replaced with a mysterious grin. "Tut, tut. Ne, Apri-chan... Didn't I warn you not to make me too angry?"
"Wat'z zat suppoze zo mean, girl?!" Apricot glared at her, almost raising an eyebrow.
Riku closed her eyes calmly, her grin finally gone and her face emotionless. She swiftly took of her ponytail, her midnight strands cascading down her back. A moment passed, and suddenly, Riku's hair slowly started floating with an aura of deep purple. Riku opened her eyes, and instead of violet orbs, red irises stared back at the vampire. "Let's just say... the tables have turned."

Holy crap... Mariah groaned, collapsing in her bed with her head diving into the pillows. A year and a-
"-half!" Emily sulked from her position in Mariah's chair, in front of the computer. "I still have many things to do! Like... go bungee jumping! Make a prank call! Break a record! Destroy a public phone!"
Shura joined in the list with a calm face, "Go to America, finish my studies, kill my father."
Strange looks was sent her way, but she just shrugged all of it off.
Suddenly, Kenny broke into a river of tears, anime-style.[1] "I can't believe you're all going to die! You're not gonna leave me here all alone, would you?! Huh? Huh?!" He sniffed,
"C... chief... tears are going to my hard drive. Ca-calm down." Dizzi beeped,
Kenny sniffed again, "Sorry, Dizzi. But I can't help it!" He broke again into a fit of tears,
"Hey, hey, Chief." Mariah sweat dropped, "It's not like we'll actually leave you, you know. We would never dream of it, Kenny!"
"But... but..."
"Daijoubu, sempai!" Emily gave a thumbs up, "We'll definitely get through this one!" Definitely.

The Demolition Boys turned a corner and was faced with another team, all leaning on the brick walls, though one of them were sitting Indian-style on the pebbled floor.
They approached them, and the one sitting immediately stood up. This one had fiery red hair, almost maroon. "So," he smirked, "I guess our prediction was right...?"
"Definitely, Johnny." Ian smirked, "Who knew that they were half-vampires in the first place?"
A blonde one perked up at that, "Thank Oliver! Even I, Enrique Giancarlo, didn't recognize it!"
The boy called Oliver, with shoulder-length green hair, blushed. "I'm a pretty observant person. Their fangs were kinda obvious. But since it wasn't that obvious, I figured that they were only half."
"And what made you believe it?" Spencer questioned,
Oliver grinned at that, "My mother's a vampire. And since my father is mortal, I became a half-vampire." He grinned wider, and that's when the others finally noticed the sharp teeth.
A boy with purple hair, Robert, crossed his arms. "You should've joined the Dark Bladers. Who knows? You might've fallen in love with Sanquinex." He grumbled, then smirked as he added the last sentence.
Oliver pretended to choke himself while making vomiting sounds.
Robert just rolled his eyes.
"Really, Rob! I wouldn't dream of it... ever." Oliver shuddered,
The two groups laughed.

Kai Hiwatari, Ray Kon, Max Tate and Tyson Granger all stared hard at the sight before them.
A deep purple aura was surrounding Riku as her hair floated gracefully. Riku closed her eyes momentarily, but as she opened them, her feet left the stone ground.
Apricot fell to the ground with a thud, "B-bakemono! You monzter!"
Riku raised her head with a sadistic smile on her lips, her red eyes flashing. "Who are you calling a monster, Apri-chan? Don't you know that..." She floated nearer and nearer to where Apricot's shaking body was kneeling, "You make what both of us are..." She lifted a hand, "sound bad."
Blood was splattered.
Apricot's whole body shook as she touched her now bleeding arm. A glass shard lay forgotten on the floor with her blood, and she looked at the girl in front of her with fear. "I heard about you Angels. Dark Angels. You're one of the angels from hell." Her voice dripped with venom as she spat the words,
If Riku was in her normal state, she would've backed away at the words that would've reopened an old wound. But in her current condition, she could care less. She leaned in closer, her hand lifting Apricot's chin up, "Never thought you'd meet one? If you'd like... I'd gladly give you a first class ticket..." She smirked, "To hell."
Crack.
A hand made contact with Apricot's cheek, as the said vampire's head twisted to the side at the force the hand gave. Apricot swore that a bone just cracked.
Riku brought her hand back and floated backwards. She stopped only when a good distance was between the vampire and her. "That's for insulting my kind. We Dark Angels are pretty closer than you think." Riku glared, "I'll let you live today. But just because we have some audience." She motioned at the BladeBreakers, who stared back at her in awe.[2] "They're still too young to see someone's insides splattered on the floor." Her eyes sharpened, "And I mean it literally."
Cursing, Apricot disappeared.

Iya... Machini. - Oh... nothing.
Daijoubu - Don't worry
Sempai - sempai is used for giving respect to people who has a higher level than yours. I know that Kenny isn't really higher than Emily, but... I was kinda... talking about the brains. ^^;; And, whether you agree with me or not, Kenny is actually smarted than Emz.
Bakemono - monster
