Sorry for the long wait, I kind of got a little distracted with SKE's new pv preview that I almost forgot I was suppose to update during my break at work
. Hope this will keep you entertained even for a little while. It might take me just as long before I can get the next chapter out since work has been super busy because of everyone getting sick and all. I'm trying to rack up as much extra shifts as I can so I can get some extra spending $ for all those AKB/SKE singles etc..... I believe I murdered my wallet again just moments ago with a simple click......
Impulse - II"Acchan!" Yuko quickly jump off the couch, closing the gap to where she heard the opening and closing of the door.
"Thank you for taking me home, " Yuko heard the voice of her best friend before she came in view of the missing girl closing the door and removing her shoes.
"Where were you? We were so worried! Who was it at the door?" Yuko started asking her millions of questions while circling Atsuko, lifting her hands and arms to inspect the girl to see if there are any damages. Well at least she tried until she was pushed at least arm length away before her hands got to roam any further.
"Yuko," Atsuko said with a stern voice
"I was just trying to make sure you are okay," the shorter girl said with a knowing smile.
"So where is the troll?" Atsuko asked before quickly ducking to dodge a flying stack of paper. Unfortunately Yuko wasn't as fortunate as the papers hit her square in the face.
"Who are you calling troll? It is Mariko-sama to you." A taller model like figure walked out from the kitchen with a cup of coffee in hand.
"Owwww, troll *cough* *cough*" Yuko whispered under her breath for Atsuko to hear while rubbing her nose. Atsuko giggled as she watches Mariko threaten to throw the remains of her coffee onto Yuko if she made another sound.
"So where were you Acchan?" Mariko finally asked.
"I found them"
Mariko quickly moved over to the windows to make sure they are shut tight and secured before motioning for Atsuko to continue. Their windows are made with soundproof glass and extra linings have been added to their walls when they moved it to prevent any information leak to involuntary and voluntary listeners outside.
"Let's sit down and talk, tell us everything that happen," Yuko said in a serious tone.
"Last night when I was walking home from school I felt one follow me, I walked into the alley hoping to lure her in but I was so concentrate on that I let my guard down for my surrounding..." Atsuko started to illustrate her story of last nights near death incident, "I was attacked by a drunken man and he almost..." Atsuko paused again still a little shaken up thinking back to the events last night and what could've happen to her because of her stupidity.
"You are okay now," Mariko said after placing her arm on Atsuko's shoulder to give her a gentle squeeze of support. Seeing how Atsuko is now sitting with them, they don't seem to be too worried anymore.
"She saved me,"
"She?" Yuko repeated.
"The vampire that followed me, she saved me from the man after he slammed me into the wall, she killed him, but I was too weak at the time to do anything, I was only able to focus on resisting her hypnotizing like we were taught so she can't erase my memory." Atsuko said purposely leaving out certain parts of the night that she decided against telling her best friends.
"She took me to their place after I passed out, she thinks I don't remember what happen last night," Atsuko continue before the other two could ask any questions, as she told them about her night, details continue to be left out. Logic tells Atsuko that she should be telling her friends everything, but a part of her want to hold onto those details and keep them hidden.
"Their? How many are there?" Yuko asked.
"Just three of them, I think they are sisters," Atsuko replied.
"Where are they right now? We should contact headquarters and let them know," Mariko finally spoke up after giving their situation a thought.
"They actually live in this very building just a couple floors up," Atsuko answered while pointing her fingers up.
"Ehhhhhh!" Yuko screeched, the thought of living so close to one of those vampires they hunt temporarily invaded her mind.
"I think we should take this chance to investigate further into this, I mean it’s an opportunity for us to find a lead to their pack," Atsuko reason with her comrades.
"That might be true and contacting headquarters might give us away since they have yet to know about us," Mariko said in deep thought.
"It is settled then, we will investigate into this matter before we contact the higher ups," Yuko concluded.
"Do you think that all vampires are really bad?" Atsuko asked the two retreating girls.
"Of course, why are you asking?" Mariko asked as a flash of emotions crossed her eyes, seeming to suspect more to the question.
"No reason, just wondering," Atsuko quickly replied with a not interested look, she isn't their school's drama ace for no reason.
Mariko only nodded before picking up her previously discarded drama script to continue with memorizing her lines for their next school play. The three of them are the top of their drama class in the prestigious school for gift students in performing arts. After Mariko and Yuko left the room, Atsuko thought back to the conversation she overheard last night when the sisters thought she was asleep.
'You've fallen for her haven't you?' those words continue to repeat in her mind like a broken record as the face of the short little vampire invaded her thoughts.
Quickly shaking the thoughts out of her mind she stood up to go wash up before heading to school with the other two. "Don't be ridiculous, there is no such thing as good vampires," Atsuko spoke out more for herself, but a part of her want to believe otherwise. Must be the after affects of her run in with the drunken man, how can she forget about everything her parents has worked for and their death under the hands of those evil suckers, she didn't spend all these years training to surpass her parents as the best for nothing.
Atsuko silently cursed herself for letting her guards down, before disappearing into her room.
"She is hiding something from us," Yuko pointed out as she and Mariko watch Atsuko disappear into her room.
"Just let her be, I have a feeling we will found out soon enough." Mariko said with her famous "I know something you don't" smirk that Yuko hated the most.
With one hand Yuko grabbed a dish cloth and whipped it towards Mariko hoping that if lucky she can wipe the smirk off her face. “I’ll go check our stocks of vampire blood just incase we need them. Yuko said walking over to the hidden compartment under their snack drawer.
“Make sure you and Acchan are updated with the antidote shots, we don’t want any blood poisoning from overdosing on vampire blood. I don’t want to have to kill you because you forgot to get your boosters shots every 4 months.” Mariko reminded.
“Don’t worry we made sure to take them at 3 months, since we take those vampire blood regularly to boost our powers to fight the vampires, training alone can’t protect our bodies, we need the extra strength, speed and healing powers to get a more even footing even if it only last a couple hour.” Yuko replied as she check through the tubes of blood.

Once Minami stepped into view of her sisters she heard loud and uncontrollable laughing from the two bodies spread out hanging on the counter in the kitchen. The sound of Minami's pleading this morning fresh in their ears as the sound of flesh to book ringed as clear as water, picked up by their extra sensitive hearing.
Minami frown at her two very caring sisters, before heading straight to her room.
"I hope you aren't planning to stalk your new love interest," Miichan spoke out.
"Minami, it is too dangerous for us to be roaming around in broad daylight, I know all those rumors about vampires sparkling in light is fake but what if you run across hunters?" Haruna pointed out.
"Nothing I can't handle," Minami grunted before closing her door.
"We know you are good that's why father has chosen you to inherit our family’s heirloom, the locket that holds the blood of the first vampire lord, but you should still be careful." Haruna continued hoping to get her point across to her sister.
"Is the girl really worth your life?" Miichan spoke towards the closed bedroom door. They know Minami can hear them clearly even if she isn't responding.
~~~~~~
"Akibahara for gifted of performing arts" Minami read the sign from afar where she spotted her girl entering along with her two roommates, they appear close despite all the bickering that goes on between them, just like Minami and her sisters.
Seeing the girl disappear into the building causes a tug in Minami's chest, she want to be able to watch the girl but the walls are getting in the way. She want to be closer, where she can once again smell her scent in the air that she already miss. Earlier in the morning when she returned to her room she found it covered with the scent of Atsuko. Unable to control herself she laid herself down on the exact spot Atsuko occupied just hours ago, taking in the smell that overloads every receptor in her body, the remaining warmth spread across her skin as a smile etched itself on Minami's face. That was the same smile her sisters last saw on her face before she left to stalk her love as Miichan put it.
Minami leaned back into the tree as she watched Atsuko reappear in her fields of view through the windows of a classroom but unfortunate for Minami other students seem to always get in-between them, obstructing her view. She frowned, this distances isn’t working out for her.
Finally making up her mind Minami pushed herself off the tree and started to walk in the direction of the school. A breeze of wind gushed by as two bodies suddenly appeared flanking her left and right.
"Why are you two here? If you are here to stop me then you can leave," Minami said as she continues towards her destination.
"We came to keep you out of trouble, we all know how stubborn you can be," Miichan started
"and once you make up your mind no one can change it," Haruna finished.
"You came because you were bored at home," Minami said with a smile, happy to know that her sisters cared.
"Hey! It's a school for gifted, you will definitely need us to help you get in," Miichan pouted slightly after getting busted by her short sister. Okay so she was bored at home, but she also didn't want her sister to be out in the open alone, so she and Haruna decided that they will stick together.
"With a midget and a Gachapin you will definitely need my looks to get us through the audition," Haruna said with a flick of her long hair.
"Errrm... there isn't any audition.... it's only an entrance interview, plus I can totally go solo!" Minami stood tall with her chest puffed up by holding her breath.
Miichan smacked Minami in the back causing her to lose her hold in her breath stumbling a couple steps before falling flat on the ground.
"HEY!" Minami shouted in protest.
“I don’t understand why I have to share a name with this midget, I’m obviously better!” Miichan retorted.
“Because father was drunk and forgot that he already used the name Minami for this midget,” Haruna answered with a bored expression. She turned to walk ahead of the two ignoring the pout on Miichan’s face and the tongue Minami is giving Miichan.
"Come on shortie, we have a school to get us into," Miichan said walking in step with Haruna leaving poor Minami behind trying to catch up to the two.
"Wait for me!"
