"Excuse me Roselle but you have a phone call."

"Really? Hello? Oh hey mother. WHAT! Mom why'd you book me for a photo shoot I'm not a model. It's for PETA? All right fine I'll do it. When and where? Okay thanks mother."

"Hey Roselle what's the fuss?"

"Oh hi Rima. My mom said that my old manager works for PETA and they want me to be in their latest campaign."

"Really? Shiki and I are both doing that shoot as well. Why don't we all ride together? There is something we have to do first."

"Which is?"

"The senate wants us to hunt a level E before the hunter society does."

"Uh okay? No comment on that one."

Meanwhile, the headmaster calls Zero to his office to give him an important message from the Hunter society.

"The Hunter Society has specifically requested for you to hunt down a level E serial killer. It's an order so you can't refuse.."

Outside the building, Elaine and Yuki are heading back to the school building for her afternoon classes when Elaine sees Zero walking towards the entrance gates.

"Uh Yuki."

"Yeah?"

"It looks like Zero is leaving through the entrance gates. What the hell is he thinking? He would yell at us if we were cutting classes like this. What is he going to do that he needs to leave the school?"

"Let's follow him then."

"Stalk him? No thanks yu-"

"COME ON WE'RE LOSING HIM ELAINE!."

"LET GO OF MY ARM YUKI!"

Zero walks into this old abandoned building and sees an man holding an unconscious young girl.

"Are you the one who killed four teenage girls."

"Is this your first hunt? You're so kind. But you should just shoot me and not ask questions. Of course I could just slash her neck before you can do that. You can't sacrifice this girl or save her. I feel 'sorry' for you."

Outside of the building a car pulls up and out comes Roselle, Shiki and Rima.

"Hurry up with this errand or you three will be late. Shiki get under RIma's parasol you get sunburned easily. You're a professional model."

"Why mine?"

"No offense but why do we need to hunt the level E. Personally I'd rather avoid a fight than jump right into one."

Shiki and Rima stare at Roselle.

"That came out weird didn't it. Nothing like this happens much so we don't intervene with the hunters when it does. I'll help though. Wait."

"What?"

"Why does it feel like we're being watched ?"

"Why are you night class students here."

"Elaine and Yuki? We should be asking the same thing."

"Look. My comrades came to see me. Do you intend to take my dessert? That's not fair I'm saving her for later."

"You wanna fight?"

Shiki walks up and pushes Elaine out of the way.

"You're in the way."

Shiki bites his finger and his blood turns into a blood whip and proceeds to attack the level E but the level E escapes back into the abandoned building.

"Go after it Shiki."

"I hate chasing."

"Zero must be in that building going after that level E!" Elaine, and Yuki think to themselves.

Elaine and Yuki run into the abandoned building and spilt up to find Zero. Elaine makes her way up to the second floor when she feels something grab her right ankle.

"Good afternoon. I'm lucky. You're the second girl I've caught today. Come here I'll be nice.

-BANG!-

"You're dumb game of tag is over."

"What's going on Zero! Why are you here."

"Don't stop me Elaine I'm under orders. You're bloodlust have turned you into a murder. I will free you of your sin."

"Oh my I've been caught. But at least I won't have to kill anymore right?"

Zero gives the level E no mercy or sympathy and pulls the trigger killing the level E and completing his mission.

"Hey Zero we found that girl over here she is okay. What should we do with her."

"Thank goodness that girl is okay. Right Elaine."

"Uh yeah sure."

"How can she be so hyper?" Elaien thought to herself

"Oh Elaine?"

"Yeah Roselle?"

"Don't forget we have rehearsals tonight. The talent show is around the corner."

"Yeah I know I won't forget."

Meanwhile in a villa in the mountains a young girl sits there chuckling at all the excitement.

"Teehee I found Zero and he has a yummy looking girl with him. I guess I'm going to attend cross academy as well."

Meanwhile, a black car is making its way to cross academy with a young man inside.

"Hmmm. I wonder how she will react to me being here. I hope she will understand that if I can't have her. No one can."

Uh oh, looks like there will be two new students at cross academy. Who is this girl and how does she know Zero. Who is this young man? Who is this girl he mentions? Is it someone at cross academy. How will Roselle and Elaine react to the new students. How will the school like their performance in the talent show. Will any talent scouts be there? Will the new students disrupt the peace within cross academy? Will everyone be able to handle them? Find out next time in Love brings strength
