A naked silver-haired boy sat on the broken of a naked black-haired girl; tears fell down the boy's face onto the girl's battered face.


Kōmura Nazo says:

Hold up, sickos. There's was NO sex involved whatsoever. WHEE!


"I'm sorry...I really am, but you were NEVER supposed to be involved with this school." And so, the boy held his hand into the air in a chopping format. "Goodbye...Tsuki..."

*CHOP*


"*GASP*" Tsuki's eyes shot wide open. Looking around, she saw white walls everywhere. "*MOAN*" Holding her head, she slowly arose into a sitting position. "Man, what a nightmare..."

"Ah, you've finally woken up, Aono Tsuki-chan..."

Suddenly, Tsuki heard a faint, terrifying, feminine voice. "You seem to be having nightmares." The voice came from a dark, shadowy corner. "Was it about...being killed by the boy you love?" Just then, two small lights began glowing...

"K-KYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Tsuki screamed. "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU? WHERE AM I? HOW LONG HAVE—"

*CRAMP*

"OW!" She suddenly grabbed her head in pain.

"Don't strain yourself too much, Tsuki-chan." Just then, the two bright lights moved out of the shadows, revealing a white-hooded figure. "This is the infirmary. I put you here to rest after saving you from Akashiya Mako."

"W-Who ARE you?" Tsuki asked again.

*SLIDE*

"It's alright, Tsuki-san," a young man said as he entered the room. "She's an exorcist, and she saved your life." The man was wearing a jean jacket with ripped sleeves and a sunflower on the back, a black and pink tank top under it, white jeans, brown leather boots, and a red headband with a white skull in the front; across his left arm was the tattoo of what appeared to be a sunflower planted in the tip of a shotgun; the man had black hair growing out over his headband.

"*GASP* Rupert-san!" the human girl exclaimed.

"No time no see," said the biker wizard. "I'm here to return the favor for what you and your friends did for me back at the Witch's Knoll."

"TSUKI-CHAN!"

*HUG*

Suddenly, a boy with aquatic hair barged into the infirmary and jumped onto the recovering human, hugging her as well.

*GROPE*

"Good!" Suddenly, he touched her breasts.

*GROPE*

"Good!" Her hips.

*GROPE*

"ALL GOOD!" And finally, her waist and ass.

"HEY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" Tsuki screamed as she pulled her body away.

"Nothing, just making sure your measurements haven't been damaged."

"ARGH!"

*PUSH*

The human girl furiously pushed her groper off the futon.

"TSUKI-SAN!" Just then, Yukari burst into the room and hugged Tsuki as well; his tiny hands groped her breasts.

"W-What's going on here?" Tsuki yelled. "Why am I in the infirmary?"

"Well," began the white-hooded woman, "you see..."


"SAY WHAT?!" screamed Tsuki one explanation later. "Are you telling me that Mako-san was actually going to KILL me? For turning into that ghoul? And he actually would've done it if you hadn't shown up?"

"Yeah! That psycho was beating the living shit out of you! It was a miracle that this hooded babe arrived just in time!"


Kōmura Nazo says:

Yes, they all know that she's a woman. WHEE!


"But...But how did I turn back to normal?" asked Tsuki.

"Because I placed a Holy Lock around your right wrist." The hooded woman pointed to Tsuki's right hand. "Just like Akashiya Mako's Rosario Cross, this lock has the power of sealing the vampire blood within you. In OTHER words, that lock is basically your life support. If it's removed, your life will come to an end..."

"Oh, t-thank you very much..." the human girl said with a bow. "But...why would you even save someone like me?"

"...My good friend Natsuki told me about what was happening." The hooded figure turned to the door, where a familiar woman was standing with a lit cigar in her hand.

"ACK! THE BUS DRIVER?!"


Kōmura Nazo says:

Newsflash: This MIGHT'VE been spoiled in the very first chapter. WHEE!


"Yeah, she told us that you were kidnapped," explained Rupert, "and that your body was about to die."

"But how did she even know that?" thought Tsuki. "Ah, that reminds me: Where's Mako-san?"

"...I...I don't know," whispered Kumaru. "I guess after what he did to you, he couldn't even bear to show his face."


Outside the infirmary, Mako was standing by the doorway, overhearing everything that went on inside; his Rosario Cross was attached to his neck, returning him to his pink-haired form.

"How long are you gonna stand there, ya pussy...? You HAVE to leave her. NOW!" said the Rosario Cross. "We turned her into a ghoul, and then we tried to kill her."

"No, 'we' didn't turn her into a ghoul, nor did 'we' try to kill her," said Mako. "This was all YOU!"

"'Me'? 'You'? 'We'? It doesn't matter! The only reason she's alive is because those exorcists saved her, but we might not be so lucky NEXT time. We...We NEVER should've gotten this close to Tsuki since the beginning."

*SLIDE*

Tsuki opened the door and left the infirmary with an I.V. hooked into her arm. Little did she know that Mako had already vanished; he was now hiding around a corner.


Meanwhile, Midō was sitting in an infirmary bed when...

*SLIDE*

...the door slid open.

"*SIGH* You have failed me..." whispered a mysterious person who entered the infirmary and approached the hospitalized Monstrel.

"Don't worry," said the Monstrel. "Tell the boss that I'll get her next time!" She slowly clenched her fists. "And when I do, I promise that—"

*PIERCE*

"GAH!"

"No," the figure whispered as he pierced her neck with a needle finger.

*SPLAT* *SPLAT* *SPLAT* *SPLAT* *SPLAT* *SPLAT*

"You've done enough. Why do you think ANTI-THESIS has 'cleaners' like me? To clean up YOUR messes! Right, Midō-chan? Monstrels who lose are NEVER forgiven...well, except for me and the higher-ups. Failures like you are all useless." And so, he watched as Midō fell onto the bed; her neck blood began dying the sheet red. "...Aono Tsuki, I will enjoy killing you!"


The next day, nurse-in-training Yusaka Yuji removed Tsuki's bandages, revealing a healed-up face.

"Wow, this is absolutely amazing," said Dr. Moko Yakumaru. "I was expecting your wounds to heal in maybe a month of two, but at the rate of your regenerative powers, you'll be out of the hospital in no time at all, Tsuki-chan. Anyways, I heard you've been involved with some...Monstrels, was it?"

The black-haired girl gave a small nod.

"You need to careful, Tsuki-chan," Dr. Yakumaru continued. "ANTI-THESIS is a DANGEROUS group of—"

*SLIDE*

"TSUKI-CHAN!" Kumaru suddenly burst through the door and hugged Tsuki in excitement. "OH, MAN! IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU'RE BACK TO NORMAL! AND YOUR MEASUREMENTS..." He then began groping Tsuki's breasts once again. "I swear to God that I'll protect you forevermore, Tsuki-chan! I'll NEVER let those shits take you away again!"

"Hey!" Yukinari yelled as he entered the room as well. "I can protect Tsuki-san as well~desu!"

Rupert also entered close behind the younger wizard boy. "If it's okay with you, I'd be willing to protect you as well..."

"Y-You too, Rupert-san?!" the black-haired girl gasped.

"...Me four," whispered Mizao from under the bed. "I'll protect my precious Tsuki..."

"SHIRAYUKI-SAN!" Tsuki jumped back away from the bed in terror, breaking free from the aqua-haired boy as the snow goth crawled out from under the bed. "Where did YOU come from?!"

Mizo took his cigarette out of his mouth to blow out some smoke "I've been hiding under here since the beginning. I was planning on joining you IN bed once everybody else had left the room, but I must've fallen asleep from waiting."

"WHY YOU LITTLE GODDAMN PERVERT!" screamed Kumaru.

"YOU'RE DISGUSTING~desu!" screamed Yukinari.


"*SIGH* I'm glad you're alright, Tsuki," thought Mako outside the room. "And even though she's a human, I'm surprised at how many friends she has. Maybe...Maybe it would be better if...if I disappeared..." And so, he turned around and—"

*SLIDE*

"Mako-san!"

A familiarly female voice caused the pink-haired vampire boy to stop in his tracks. "I knew it!" Tsuki yelled. "For some reason, I felt you were standing here, Mako-san! You must've been here yesterday too, right? Come on, let's go back to the infirmary where everyone's waiting."

But Mako took a step back and shook his head. "...Y-You know, Tsuki...I may not have been conscious when my Rosario Cross gets removed, but I do remember everything that happened. I...I know about what the other me was doing to you...he punched you...he kicked you...and he was going to KILL you! I-I can't! I can't be with you anymore! I'm sorry! I don't bear that sort of guilt ever again!" The pink-haired vampire boy turned around and away. "Goodbye!" He ran as fast as he could, trying to—

*BUMP*

Suddenly, he crashed into Nurse Yuji. "Oh, my god! I'm so sorry! I—"

"Oh, no, it's fine," said the nurse. "But please be more careful

Mako continued—

"Wait! Are you Akashiya Mako?" Nurse Yuji asked. "You need to come with me! NOW!"


Nurse Yuji took Mako into an office room.

"W-Who's targeting me?" asked the pink-haired vampire boy.

"ANTI-THESIS!" answered the nurse.

"ANTI-THESIS! Y-You mean the Monstrels?"

Nurse Yuji gave a nod.

"Oh, thank you very much f—wait, how did you know about them?" Mako asked all of a sudden.

"I DIDN'T, Dr. Yakamaru told me all about them," explained Nurse Yuji.

"And...how do you know that they're targeting me?"

...Nurse Yuji gave a sinister glance at him while walking over a stool.

"...N-Nurse..."

"...You really wanna know..." the nurse whispered...right before...

*SMASH*

...she tried to hit Mako with the stool. "You are so careless, Mako-san. The one who's trying to kill you...is ME!"

*CHOKE* *SLAM*

Grabbing Mako by the neck, Nurse Yuji slammed him against the wall, then pulled out a syringe from her pocket. "It's time for your check-up, Akashiya Mako; you're scheduled for a quick shot!"

"NO! STOP! GET OFF ME!" Mako desperately tried to push Nurse Yuji's syringe-wielding hand always as the needle got closer to the neck.

"Now, don't worry, little guy. You'll just feel a quick prick from a needle, and this injection will make you a very obedient—and mindless—puppet!"

"NO! PLEASE!" Mako cried.

"Now, don't worry, Akashiya Mako. Once I'm done with you, I'll do the same thing to Tsuki-chan...with the same medicine. And the best part is that no trace of evidence will remain...AND I'LL BE ABLE TO KILL YOU BOTH!"

"NEVER!"

*SMASH*

Grabbing a flower vase, Ma bashed Nurse Yuji's head, knocking her out. "*PANT* *PANT* *PANT* I gotta find Tsuki! NOW! I won't let anybody hurt her!"

Mako desperately rushed to the—

*SLIDE*

Mako soon came face-to-face with Dr. Yakumaru.

"What's going on here?" the doctor asked.

"Doctor-san! Please help!" cried the terrified vampire boy. "Your nurse attacked me and tried to inject me with some strange medicine! I think she's an Monstrel and she—"

"No, she isn't..."

In that instant, Mako froze in fear and confusion as he turned around to look at—

*PIERCE*

Suddenly, his neck was neck was pierced and ejected by Dr. Yakumaru's Monstrel needle-finger.

"There!" the doctor whispered. "Now you've finally taken your 'injection'!"


Kōmura Nazo says:

Well, of course it's the doctor; he must've injected his apprentice nurse with manipulation fluids to make her do his deeds. WHEE!


"GAH!" Mako held his pierced neck in pain. "W-What the hell'd you inject me with?"

"Why...my own body fluids with my syringe-like finger," hissed the evil Dr. Yakumaru. "Those who are injected with my fluids become mindless puppets...just like my nurse; she's NOT a Monstrel!"

"...S-So...it was-it was YOU! You...You manipulated *COUGH* *COUGH* the doctor...into attacking me! Y...YOU are the...M-Mon...st-strel..." Mako finally lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"...That's right...and now, Akashiya Mako-san...YOU will become my puppet! Ee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee! Eh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH!"


Later that night, Tsuki was walking around the halls. "I'm sorry, Mako-san. I know you mean well, but no matter what you say, you can't get rid of—"

"...Ts...Tsu...ki..."

The human girl turned around as she heard a faint, familiar voice coming down the stair. Looking up, she saw...

"Mako-san!" she exclaimed. "Oh, thank god! I've been looking all over for y—wait, what happened to you?!" Upon closer inspection, Mako saw blood dripping the left side of Mako's neck, and he was holding a scalpel in his hand...which he suddenly held over his arm. "M-Mako-san...? Wh-What are you doing...? Wait! STOP!"

*SLASH*
