Chapter 2
Haruka
I hear crying. Someone… someone is crying. I opened my eyes and saw her face, tears streaming down from her eyes. I tried to speak again, to touch her face, wipe away her tears, but my body is so heavy.
“Yui...” My voice called out weakly. Her tears fell onto my face.
My chest, it hurts… I feel so sad, my heart is breaking. Like it’s bleeding, but still beating.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Haruka.”
Why? Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything…
“Please...”
“Yui, I...”
“Haruka.”
I felt myself become pulled back into reality and I saw Yui above me. I was in the infirmary, lying in the bed.
“What happened?”
“You fainted.”
Ah, I see. Because I’m so tired…
“Nee, Yui...” I said. “Can I ask something weird?”
“Sure. I don’t mind.”
“Have we met before? When I first saw you, I had this feeling that we’ve met somewhere before.”
“Hmm...”
“I knew it was too weird to ask.”
“No.” She answered softly, making me look up. “Actually, I feel the same way. It was this feeling of deja vu.”
“Right?”
“Maybe we did meet some time before, long ago...”
A long, long time ago…
“Yui, I...”
“I...”
I felt her finger press against mine and she rubbed her thumb on my cheek. She was wiping off a tear.
“Eh..?”
“You were crying in your sleep. You must’ve had a bad dream.”
Strange, I’m not much of a cryer… Maybe I did have a nightmare. I rarely remember any of my dreams. I always forget them when I wake up.
All I feel is… a lingering, sad pain in my heart.
“Just rest here for a bit. I’ll tell the teacher you’re resting here.”
I nodded as she walked off. I watched her back as she walked out of the room and shut the door…
And I felt the pain again.
Why?
Miyuki
“So, Miss Watanabe, can you please explain to me what you’re doing here?”
I kicked my feet as I sat down in front of the principal’s chair.
“I want to know how a student who has not applied for this school was able to slip in undetected so easily.”
“I wanted to see Yuihan.”
“Ah, Yokoyama?”
“Hai. I’m from the same school she transferred from.”
“Well, Miss Watanabe, our school board is very strict, so I will have to have a talk with someone from--”
“Principal-san.”
“Yes?”
I leaned over and raised my eyebrows in a seductive manner as I placed my hand on the male’s shoulder.
“You don’t have to do such a thing, it’s not really needed after all.”
“B-but…”
“Really, you don’t have to go through so much trouble just for me~.”
The old male stared into my eyes, becoming hypnotized.
“Now say that you agree and that you shouldn’t do something that’s so idiotic.”
“I agree...and I shouldn’t do something so idiotic.” He murmured in a dazed fashion.
“Good, I’m glad we have this situation under control.” I pulled away and stood up straight. The male blinked and had a fairly confused expression.
I looked over at the left wall and puffed out my cheeks.
“Mm...now that I think about it...wouldn’t it be fun to go back to school? More blood for me... right?” I glanced back at the principal and smiled, sitting on his desk with one leg crossed over the other.
“Do you think you can add me into your group of students, principal-san?”
“O-of course! Will do! your first day starts tomorrow… P-please be here...Miss Watanabe.”
Such a pervy old man…
“One last thing…”
I leaned towards the male’s neck and parted my lips, showing my sharp fangs. He stayed in a daze as I dug my teeth into his neck, as blood poured out, it painted my mouth.
His blood is so sour…
After that, I started touring my new school by myself.
This is perfect. Not only will I be able to get close to Shimazaki, I’ll also have a wide range of slaves to toy with.
Who shall be my first victim~?
Just then, I small sound made my ear twitch. The sound of guitar strings. I looked inside one of the classrooms and saw someone tuning their guitar and playing a small melody. I saw their face and grinned a bit.
A cute boy~. Perfect!
I knocked on the side of the door cutely and entered the classroom. The boy looked at me and smiled.
“Oh, hey. You new?”
I didn’t say anything and walked slowly over to him, swinging my feet a bit with my hands behind my back.
“Um...”
“You’re good. You like playing your guitar?”
“Oh, yeah. This guitar is my prized possession. I never do a show without it. Maa, this is my electric guitar, but it’s not like my acoustics. The Light Music club’s performing tomorrow, so you should definitely--”
“Shh...” I pressed my finger against his lips and grabbed his tie, wrapping it around my hand and pulling him closer. “You talk too much, sweetie~”
I stared deeply into his eyes as I drew him into my hypnotic spell.
“Do you think you can do something? For me?” I said in a cute voice.
Then, he blushed a bit and… pushed me away?
Wait, is he resisting me?
“You’re really close. Guess that means you’re friendly. Haha.”
Eh..?
That’s weird. It didn’t work. Then, one more time…
“C’mon, baby~” I pushed him against the wall and stroke his face slowly, tracing his jawline and down to his neck. “I don’t think you can refuse me, right?”
“Huh?”
“You just can’t say no~.”
“Wh-what are you talking about?”
I backed away from him, confused. I don’t smell anything strange in his blood. He’s completely unaffected.
How?! How is he resisting my charm?!
“Oi, there you are!”
“Yamamoto!”
“C’mon, we need to practice!”
“Ah, sorry.” He said as he separated from me. He took his guitar and grouped with the other girls, but before leaving, he turned back to me and said, “Hey, it was nice meeting you. I hope you come to the concert tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay. I’ll do that….” I said a bit sulking.
“Cool. Bye~.”
I pouted angrily as he left, my cheeks puffing out as I stomped my foot.
“Stupid boy!” I shouted. “How DARE he resist my cuteness!”
Sayaka
The Light Music club had a performance on the schools stage tomorrow, and I was nervous, but doing what I love most was what calmed me down.
“Sayaka, be a little more confident when you play, other than that, you're amazing!” The leader of the music club called out.
“Okay!”
I sat back in my chair as I looked over the tabs that needed to be played in our first song.
“So, Yamamoto, who was that girl you were talking to?”
“I don’t know. Must be a new student.”
“It looked like she was flirting with you.”
“Eh? Flirting?”
Hm… now that I think about it, she was acting funny, like she was flirty and cute. Maybe she thinks I’m a guy.
“Well, anyways, we should practice.”
“Un...” I tuned up my guitar and looked through my notebook, filled with lyrics of songs I wrote myself. “She said she wanted me to do something for her… Maybe she wants me to perform a song for her.”
“That would be nice.”
“Sasuga, Sayanee.”
“Haha. I just wanna make her feel welcome.” I tuned my guitar again and strummed it, creating a beautiful note. “Nice~”
“Alright, shall we get started?”
“Let’s.”
“1, 2, 3, 4!”
