The Newspaper Club were gathered in their meeting room. They were sitting around the table, all peering towards what sat in the centre of it.

It was a large thick book - with a picture of Ruby on the front cover. She was smiling and waving as she stood underneath where the title and her name was displayed in black letters.

A WITCH'S STORY

BY RUBY TŌJŌ

"Wow! Who'd have thought it?" Tsukune smiled. "Our very own Ruby has written a book?"

"And we get the first copy to review!" Moka added cheerily. "This is a big deal for the Newspaper Club!"

Yukari reached over for the book, sliding it across the table so she could look at the cover. The small magic user smiled admiringly at the picture of Ruby. She was very pleased for the monster who she had befriended and encouraged to come to work at Yokai Academy.

"Ruby is such an inspiration to me," she squeaked. "She makes me proud to be a witch."

"Yeah, I can see you certainly do look up to her," Kurumu teased as she ruffled the short monster girl's hair. "Being as small as you are!"

Yukari pouted. She did not like having her sight made fun of by her taller rival.

"I wonder how she managed to find the time to write this book," Mizore murmured, "with all the countless jobs she holds here at the school?"

"Perhaps this'll tell us about that life she lived under the control of Her Ladyship!" Ginei remarked. "Who knows? Ruby may have even mentioned us! We are the ones who rescued her and brought her here to the school!"

"Well what are we waiting for?!" Yukari squealed. "Let's read Ruby's story!"

Grinning over Yukari's excitment, Tsukune stood from his seat to walk over to the small witch. He stood over her and reached down towards the book. He was looking forward to reading the life story of his friend so that he and his fellow club members could write a review for the school paper.

"Open it, Tsukune!" Yukari urged. "You do the honours!"

Tsukune nodded and took hold of the book's front cover to flip it open.

His face instantly fell.

"There's nothing in here!" he cried.

The other club members blinked and stared.

"What?!" Moka exclaimed, staggered. "What do you mean, Tsukune?!"

"These pages are blank!" Tsukune answered as he flipped through the book, bemused. "There's nothing written in here!"

"What?!" Kurumu frowned in disbelief. "There has to be!"

"No, he's right!" Yukari said, all her elation gone from her voice to be replaced by utter shock. "Ruby hasn't written a single word in this book!"

The others exchanged puzzled looks before getting up from their chairs. They joined Tsukune and watched as he flipped through the pages of the book. Sure enough, they could see that the pages were completely empty, much to their astonishment.

"So much for a witch's story," Mizore commented quietly.

"Who publishes a book with no story at all?!" Kurumu huffed. "That's utterly dumb!"

Tsukune reached the end of the book. He couldn't understand what Ruby's motivation was behind this. He could remember how excited the witch had been to announce that she had written and published her story. He had felt very pleased for his friend - and highly honoured that she had given him the first ever copy of her book to review.

Yet how were they supposed to review a book which seemed to have nothing written inside? Tsukune was at a loss. He flipped back through the blank pages to the very first one.

"Hold on, Tsukune!"

The young human jumped upon hearing his vampire girlfriend suddenly cry out. He turned towards her. "What is it, Moka?"

"Ruby has written something in this book!" Moka pointed towards the page Tsukune was on. "Look!"

Everyone peered towards where Moka was pointing. They could all see a single sentence had been written in the centre of the page.

Each member of the Newspaper Club frowned. They could tell at once that this sentence was the only one that was in the entirely of this book. Their eyes narrowed as they read over it. They all knowing perfectly well that it was something that could have only been written by their friend, Ruby Tōjō.

It's a long story.

The end.
