It was late afternoon, and it was almost sundown. A girl was sitting at the corner of the graveyard. Then, someone entered the cemetery and noticed her.
"Dawn, may I sit beside you?" the girl inquired.
Dawn didn't respond since her headset and music player is on.
The girl sat beside her and took her left earphone and listened to the music as well. "Hmm… Is this 'The Irish Front'?" the girl wondered.
"Yeah… Nice, huh?" Dawn replied.
"Oh… say… can I ask you about something?" the girl asked.
"What's bothering you, Haruka?" Dawn wondered.
"So… the concert's tonight huh?" began Haruka.
"Yeah, but we're not sure about it." Dawn replied.
"Because of the need of members…?"
"Yeah. See, Niode was just deceased… And we still haven't begun to enlist new members or replacements for her… And I'm kind of anxious." Dawn replied with a sigh.
"Oh… but I can barely sense that there would be a commendable drummer for the band tonight." Haruka replied, trying to cheer up Dawn.
"Thanks for cheering me up…" Dawn said while rising up. "By the way, let's go back to the manor. Santi might be waiting for you…"
"Well, I don't want to see him. That cantankerous guy…" Haruka muttered.
Dawn just giggled and continued to walk leaving Haruka behind.
"Hey! What's so funny…? Wait for me!" shouted Haruka.
"Eva…shall the concert go on?"
She closed the book she was reading and replied. "Of course, the show must go on. Even Niode's not around. I know it's hard for you to play without her. But one thing I can assure… something splendid is gonna show off tonight… Trust me, Santi." Then she stood up and left the lounge without a word.
"Niode…?" Santi thought. "Tch! Overlook it!" he muttered.
Dawn suddenly poked Santi's back. "What is it to disregard?" she interrogated.
"Huh? Oh… That? It's none of your affairs." He replied.
"Dawn… There a thirty minutes enduring before the concert." Haruka reminded as she was staring at the historic wall clock.
"Oh yeah! The concert!" screamed Dawn as she geared up her things maladroitly.
Santi, without a word equipped his things precisely.
Axel, in all of a sudden appeared at the lounge and started to make some infuriating sounds to remind everyone about the concert.
"Could you stop making those exasperating noises and it would behoove if you prepare yourself for the concert!?" said the almost aggravated Eva.
There was an epigrammatic silence because everyone was preparing for the concert. Then Dawn abruptly got the initiative to break the stillness because she noticed that Haruka is no longer in the lounge. "Have you seen Haruka?" she asked everyone.
Santi looked to his left, then to his right. "Haru's not here." He replied.
"Maybe she's already in Harajuku memorial… collecting tickets." Eva recommended.
"So… I guess it's time to go…" muttered Dawn while showing the car keys to everyone.
So, all of them hopped in the black SUV, departing to the concert.
Haruka while waiting for the guys to disembark…put on her headphones and listened to a song from Dresden Dolls. As she handed the ticket to a young man, he suddenly asked. "Is this band lacking a drummer?"
Haruka, uncertain of what the lad said turned off her headphones and responded to the young man. "Come again?"
"I said if this band is in need of a drummer." He repeated in a more audible voice.
He was so stunning that the majority would oversight him as lass. He had a long, sleek sky blue hair and a very lovable voice. He was very well-brought-up to look at. He had a tall, slender body and had insipid emerald eyes. He was wearing a black polo with a crimson necktie on it, red highlighted skate shoes, and skinny jeans.
Haruka began to be inquisitive of the guy. She enthralled him with such notion. Then her conceited voice began to interrogate him. "So…what is your apprehension about it?"
Inadvertently, they reached the memorial. As Eva saw the fuzz between Haruka and the blue-headed guy, she came towards them and asked what's going on. "Hey! What's the big deal?"
She looked at Eva with respite and replied. "This guy wants to be the drummer of your band for the show tonight." Haruka replied.
Dawn and Axel gave Eva a pleading gawk. Then as Eva looked at them, she made her decision. "Can you do double peds to quad peds?" she challenged.
"Uhuh…" the lad nodded bashfully.
"Your name please…?" inquired Eva.
The young man grabbed his pockets and handed Eva his calling Eva reached the card, she read it at once. "Leonhard Van Dimitri…17 years in age…30% human…70% vampire…and…no companies yet…?"
"Are you a demon hunter, apprentice or something?" added Santi.
"Hey! The show's gonna start!" interrupted Haruka. "Don't keep the fans and the new drummer waiting…" she added.
As they prepared for their grand concert, Dawn patted Leo's shoulder and gave him a warm sneer. "You know what to do right…?"
Leonhard nodded. Then the concert started. Eva and Haruka of course, were sitting together on the V.I.P seats and were enjoying the show.
Suddenly, in the middle of Santi's guitar adlib part, the door of the memorial entrance banged! Therefore, everyone pay no heed to it, except for the apprehensive demon hunters. For the last time the foyer door banged again. This time, it was dilapidated! There appeared the horde of zombies geared up for seizing everyone in the memorial. Of course it was the crystal that engrossed them. The humans panicked. They attempted to escape but the monsters were too strong for them. Horridly, they were killed and some ogres ate their scanty bodies! Disemboweled and dismembered bodies were scattered on the memorial floor.
A sudden light's out occurred, but it never agitated Santi's performance. Instead, he played his electric guitar more violently and wildly.
Everyone was in sympathy and put themselves into their own combat positions.
Haruka hastily removed the chopsticks from her pink-highlighted hair. As she removed it, there it transformed into two tsurugis. "I wonder what changes this two had…" she muttered with mischief. Then she suddenly felt a zombie attacking from her back. As she turned around, she slashed the swords on the zombies' torsos. After a while she noticed that the zombies she attacked are burning! As other zombies wondered about their fellows, they reluctantly touched them and were burned as well. The wildfire easily spread the whole group of zombies around Haruka. "Now I know…" she muttered.
"Haruka..! Get down!" Dawn screamed from the stage. This time an ogre was to attack her from behind. As Haruka crouched, Dawn fired up her gun thrice and hit the ogres head and chest. Then for the finishing of Dawn's attack, she leaped from the stage and ran towards the weak ogre and slashed him to death! "Don't own the monsters too much Miss Haruka." She chuckled.
"What are pals for? We share blessing and curses too…" replied Haruka with a snigger.
Then another ogre tried to assault them unnoticeably, but before they could attack, Leo fired his gun blade and hit the ogre's chest. Seconds later, the bullet disillusioned the mere target and Leo continued to clash with two groups of zombies at the same time. "Get the boss of these guys now!" he shouted at them.
Haruka nodded back at Leo same with Dawn. Before they could reach the boss' location, Santi already summoned bats to ambush and engross their target then Axel wrestled and without clemency removed the head of the superior of the monsters, then Eva chanted a curse loudly and the gate of inferno was opened and sucked the monsters in, including their boss.
Everything was in deafening silence. No more monsters…only the dismembered bodies of humans are left scattered. Everyone was quite relieved that the monsters are gone.
"We did it…" muttered Leo.
"Yeah… How I wish the festivity could have gone longer…" added Dawn.
"Hey…We shall head back to the manor…the welcome gathering for Leo is waiting…" she said while approaching the memorial door.
"I guess we have a new member…" added Axel.
Haruka and Santi without a sound followed them to the memorial door.
Leo glanced at them all and smiled happily at them, meaning that he already reached his aspiration to be an official demon hunter.
