Reiko rushed through the throngs of people in the mall desperate to brush off the teacher's pets who were chasing her...

"Really, do they have to be so quick when it comes to chasing people who cut class?" she muttered as she ran into a bookstore.

Ignoring the protests of the salesladies that she wasn't allowed in since it was during school hours, she hurried into the back of the store.

Hiding behind a particularly tall bookshelf holding mythology books, she pulled out a black trench coat so that her pursuers wouldn't recognize her easily.

"She went through there I think," one of the salesladies said, making her grit her teeth.

Turning to leave, Reiko bumped into a boy going the opposite direction.

"Sorry," he smiled before sidestepping him only to be stopped by what looked like a very muscular gym teacher.

"No where to run Shirada," the muscle man said, menacingly approaching the guy.

Reiko turned around just in time to duck under arms that were threatening to grab her.

"You shouldn't have opted to run Arashi," the ultimate teacher's pet, Sei Aruki, said as she stood confidently behind her own couple of muscle men.

"Let me guess, you cut class too," the guy commented as she backed up toward him.

Nodding, Reiko discreetly grabbed a book from the shelf, just in case she had to leg it.

All of the sudden, the three muscle charged at them, making the guy grab her on the waist and pull her out of the way.

She lost her grip on the book which fell on the floor with its pages bared.

Blue light blinded Reiko just before her world went black...
