Chapter 8
Momo's days at ALPG
"Momo please tell me what the girls said, pleeeaaassseee?" Tei begged. She wanted Momo to at least say if what Luka and Meiko said was personal. "I don't want to say anything, Momotaro might be right outside the door and I don't want him to hear anything" Momo replied. "it doesn't matter Momo, your brother left, I heard him. Please tell me what the girls said, I only want to help you" Tei reassured. If there was something bothering her friend, she would do anything to help her.
"…..fine, I'll talk" Momo finally gave in. "thank you Momo, I can and will help you, it is my job as a friend to help" Tei said. Tei wasn't experienced in the bullying field but she had to do something. "Meiko and Luka were 'warning' me about Taya…." Tei paused, was that it? What does Momo need to be 'warned' about anyway? Taya's not dangerous….. right? "what does that mean Momo? What does Taya have to do with this?" Tei asked. "to answer your first question, I need to answer your second question but you need to promise not to tell anyone okay?" Momo replied. "on my word Momo, I won't say a word. I promise" "ok, ok, first of all… I love Taya, second of all…. Being around a Nitro is apparently a bad idea. Stress, anger and extreme hunger trigger some kind of bloodlust that can only be satisfied by what the host wants. A meal, a stress reliever, an anger therapeutic ragdoll. Everything in between" Momo explained, it was like that kind of thing was as normal as being told that puppies are playful. "woah….. that sounds…. Woah" Tei responded. The silver haired Vampire was speechless. "was that what Meiko and Luka said to you?" Tei asked. "yep, pretty much…. What do you think I should do about it?" Momo replied. Momo hoped that her Vampire friend wasn't one of those people who came up some hair brained idea that always end badly.
"…it might sound crazy, but I think you should prove them wrong" Tei answers. Momo was confused by Tei's suggestion. What did she mean by 'prove them wrong'? "what do you mean by that?" Momo asked. Tei sighs, "what I mean is: get together with Taya, at your own pace of course, and prove to them that Taya isn't a violent, 'I will rip you to pieces' kind of Nitro. Besides, who knows, maybe Taya likes you back and you two might get married one day, cause I mean look at you. Who couldn't resist someone as cute as you?" Tei explains, pinching Momo's cheeks at her last statement. "…..that might work actually, but what if Taya doesn't want to be my 'boyfriend', also he might not want to ruin our friendship as it is" Momo states, she agreed with Tei that the plan might work but she didn't want to push Taya into her problem….. even though he is the reason the problem even exists. "oh Momo, your over exaggerating things, he won't mind it, besides being the caring, polite person…. Dragon…thing he is. He might want to go along with it and help you" Tei said as she reassured Momo of the greatness of her awesome plan. "Tei, I know your only trying to help but if I'm going to be in a relationship with Taya, I at least want it to be real, not because of a couple of girls who think their leader is better for him then I am" Momo replies.
"true, but it will only be for a while. Besides, their seniors, they will be out of ALPG by the end of the ye.. wait a minute… they have a leader? Who?" Tei says quickly. Since when did Luka and Meiko have a 'leader'? "a girl by the name of Sorane Rana, she apparently has yandere type of love towards Taya" Momo replies. Everyone knows it is dangerous to be friends with the crush of a yandere…. Injury and most likely death will ensue afterward. "ohhhh…. That girl…. Yeaaaa, you have quite the situation in your hands girlo" Tei comments. Tei has had problems with Rana before….. that did not end well…. For Tei mostly. "you know her? How?" Momo asked. Tei didn't want to talk about it but it would at least give Momo an idea of how much trouble she was in. "…. It started when I was 8, Rana would bully me quite a bit about having grey hair so early but it never really bothered me as my hair was actually silver. Then when Rana realised what colour my hair actually was she bullied me more. Saying that I wasn't human, which at the time I thought I was. So I confronted her when it got out of hand after school. My argument made Rana mad and she had a full on rampage. I ran away to my mum who had just arrived to pick me up. She saw what was going on and ran up to Rana who was chasing me…." Tei paused, she really didn't want to continue. "yes Tei? What happened, I know you don't to continue but it will feel much better to get it off of your chest, trust me…. I know the feeling" Momo said. It was true, she did know the feeling of losing a loved one, even if Tei didn't say it, Momo could tell that something happened to her mother that made Tei pause. "your right Momo…. I'll continue…. When Mum caught up to Rana, who ran away after seeing my Mum run after her, Rana ran behind a bush and emerged a few seconds later with a stick. She hit mum with it. Hard enough to make an open, bleeding wound. At first it didn't look like much. Just a short cut on mum's upper arm. But a few seconds later, mum started to go into a seizure. Which meant only one thing: Rana had used a small branch off of a eucalyptus tree…. Mum was lethally allergic to eucalyptus… of any kind, leaves, sticks, the nuts that grew on them, even artificially made creams. Rana ran off afterwards and I ran up to mum to get pieces of the sick out of the cut, a teacher called the ambulance but it was too late…." Tei started to cry.
Momo wrapped her arm around her friend and pulled her out from underneath the bed (they were under there the entire time) and leaned Tei against the bed frame, trying to comfort her. "its ok Tei, I understand now… you don't have to continue" Momo said quietly. She felt bad for asking Tei to continue such a sad story. Once Tei calmed down to a degree she added "the only reason Rana didn't go to jail for it was because she had skitsaphrenia". (AN: sorry about the spelling, if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the disease, if you know how to spell it review it to me and I'll fix it, hopefully you'll be able to read anyway) Momo understood completely now. 'great so I'm dealing with a skitsaphrenic yandere who has killed someone with a stick….. well then I'm screwed' Momo thought. Momo's situation just got a whole more dangerous and problematic.

And that everyone is chapter 8… I'm pretty sure…. (the author's note from before has confused me). So then…. Me 'updating quicker' has obviously gone down the drain hasn't it. Damn this chapter got dark real quick…. And sad….. defiantly sad. Also I hope you know what disease I'm talking about…. Probably not, just in case I'll try to explain it best I can. (the only reason I know that disease even exists is thanks to list videos on youtube, the proper definition wasn't properly explained though). Skitsaphrenia is a disease which, by the looks of it, makes the sufferer a bit loopy. (or you can completely ignore my hypothesis and think of it as someone with severe autism (the violent kind of autism)… sorry if that offends you). Also I want to inform you that this story doesn't take place in Japan. It takes place in Australia (where I currently live). Which explains Tei's Mum's allergy to Eucalyptus.
I hope that this chapter has answered some questions that you might have (not that anybody actually cares that much) and has not confused the ever loving hell out of you. Until next time, bya ^o^
