[kahem]

Black/Nezumi is so cute~

[Crossing Crossroads]

OMG. YES. KOMIMI COMES IN. SKDFHKJEHR AHHHHH. I absolutely LOVE Komimi. In episode 5, it was hilarious when she suddenly let soup pour out of her mouth in surprise that Paru in the MG3 cut her hair. Before Komimi's episode in MG3, I've always seen her as the sneaky type, so to see her cooperating with Nezumi now (Absolute "sneaky type" 1!~) makes me even more enthusiatic about this fic. 

I LOVE ITTTT GRAHHAHDSKJERKJSDFK...

[kuronekosan]

Hey y'all!! I managed to update, yay!! I wouldn't let myself sleep until this was posted up. I was seriously adament to do this before school starts again. Which is tomorrow, or today, as its 3.34 a.m now. AAAARRRRGGGHH!!! Sigh, oh well. Just as a warning, you might be seeing less of me. Though I'll definitely update somehow. Anyway...

@Kahem-Black/Nezumi kawaii? I'm glad you think so.

@Crossing Crossroads- I love Komimi too! I think she actually has so much character potential, but they keep making her the goofy one. Yagami Kumi is a great actress and I wish they'd give her a more major and serious role. All her roles are always goofy ones, or ones where she's dressed as a boy and flirts with the other girls. Though I have no complaints about the latter.

With that said. Remember when I said Chapter 4 is the longest, period? Well you can forget about that now. This one is waaaaaaaaaayyyy longer. At least by comparing the pages on office word, they are. (13 whooping pages!) My chapters always seem shorter when posted... Oh well. Lotsa action here. Yes, even more than before. More characters, more scenes, more words, more......stuff. Hopefully it'll keep you thrilled, hanging off the edge of your seat, because I did something I've NEVER done before. You'll find out what it is.

Btw, the fight scenes were written while listening to Yankee Soul, River, and Show Fight. Why? Cause I'm depressed that my external hard drive won't work for some reason. And ALL my movies and music and AKB related  stuff are in there too!! All  300 GB's of it!!!!! AAARRRRGGGHHH

So I needed something to keep me going, or this update wouldn't have happened. Oh and the other scenes.....well, I was listening to Emeli Sandé - My Kind of Love. So yea, Just thought I'd let you know.


Without further ado, I present to you the longest chapter ever, the first of it's kind,

Chapter 6!!!

Matsui Jurina was having lunch with her friends in the cafeteria. They were giggling at something Rena quirped about Yuko's closet pervertness, when they noticed Annin(Iriyama Anna) who was sitting opposite Jurina, suddenly stop and glance over Jurina's shoulder.

Curious, they faced the entrance to see a hooded student walk in.

"That girl....it's Nezumi, isn't it?" Rena.

"Isn't she the one that Maeda said they scented near our borders?" Jurina.

"Maeda?! What would the Human's Ace be doing, sniffing at our borders?!" Yuko.

Annin slapped Yuko upside the head as she was sitting next to her.

"Not that Maeda! She meant Maeda Ami." Annin.

"Oh....sorry, got confused for a moment there." Yuko sheepishly smiled.

"Why didn't you just call her Mayuge?" Yuko asked.

"Gomen it slipped my mind." Jurina.

"Ne, ne. Did you hear?" Annin leaned forward on their table, whispering excitedly.

"What? What?" The others leaned forward as well, eager to hear this piece of gossip.

"I overheard this from a bunch of junior HDS members. It seems that Nezumi got beaten up by 3 of them last night." Annin.

"EHHHHH??!!!!" 3 pairs of eyes widened to the size of saucers.

"SSSSHHHHH!!!" Annin quieted them down, then they continued whispering.

"Her fighting abilities may be a mystery, but no one has ever been able to catch her before." Rena.

"She's right. Who were the 3 humans?" Yuko.

"Apparently it was Shaku, Miyazaki, and that Kimoto girl." Annin.

"Maji?! But I beat up Miyazaki just the other day!" Yuko.

"And Nezumi doesn't even have a scratch on her! Just look!" Jurina.

The group of 4 tried to discreetly glance at Nezumi. She was currently engaged in a conversation with Komimi. But Jurina was right, she seemed perfectly fine.

Annin shrugged.

"I'm just repeating what I heard."

"But vampires can heal faster when they drink blood remember?" Yuko.

"Maybe...." Jurina.

"What exactly happened? Do you know?" Rena asked Annin.

"Apparently it has something to do with Kimoto. I think it's her gift, but I don't know what it is exactly."

Jurina leaned back and whistled.

"Just goes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover."

When they glanced back at Nezumi, they found that the table she was previously at was empty. Soon, the bell rang to signal the end of lunch. They each left toward their own classrooms after saying their farewells. Rena's and Jurina's classrooms were in the same direction, so they walked there together. They reached Jurina's first.

"Well, I'll see you later, Rena-chan." Jurina smiled and waved at her.

"Yep, ja'ne Juri-chan." Rena did the same.

Before Jurina could enter her classroom, Rena called out to her.

"Ano, Juri-chan?"

"Hai?"

"Are you free tomorrow night?"

"Yes, I am. Did you have something in mind?"

"Well....." Rena looked shyly at the ground. Jurina barely resisted hugging her then and there. She was being so kawaii!

"I was wondering if you'd like to spend some time together. We could go for a run in the woods?" Rena.

Jurina smiled.

"Sure! I'd love to spend more time with you."

Rena blushed at that.

"Really?"

"Yea, it's a date then! Ja'ne!" Smiling charmingly at Rena, Jurina entered her classroom.

Rena just stared at the door, her face redder than before.

"A d-d-date?!"

______________________________________________________________________________

That day, Nezumi met Komimi at the 1st music room. Komimi made sure the door and windows were all locked before giving Nezumi the go ahead.

"The safest place to secretly talk is in the school's music room?" Nezumi asked sceptically.

"Not just any music room, this one is soundproof. I made sure of it myself." Komimi said proudly.

"If you say so." Nezumi shrugged.

Komimi leaned against a window, peering outside.

"So what is it that the great Nezumi needed my help with?"

Nezumi frowned, but let it slide.

"I'm collecting data to create a complete profile of HDS members."

"So we're basically profiling?"

Nezumi nodded.

"This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with your defeat last night would it?"

Annoyed, Nezumi strode forward and flicked Komimi on the forehead.

"Ow!! What was that for?!"

Nezumi then told her exactly what happened the night before.

"Hmmmmmm....So you were caught by surprise...I can understand wanting to know more after what happened. We should always be prepared, isn't that what Otabe always says?" Komimi.

"Exactly, so what do you think?" Nezumi.

"It'll definitely be interesting...and it'll also benefit us in the long run. I don't think this would be too hard either."

"I'm glad you think so. Higher ranked members should be easy enough, since they have to earn that rank somehow. It's the smaller fish that will be tricky. So for now, we'll concentrate on the main ones, and the 3 from last night."

Komimi nodded in agreement. Nezumi was about to leave when Komimi stopped her.

"Oh, before I forget. You better watch your back. Word is that some of the senior HDS are out looking for you. Especially Maeda, she seems especially mad."

"So it seems they know the truth. Still, it seems a little much for a regular street fight."

"Well, you DID take a bite out of Kimoto, and she IS training directly under Maeda."

"Heeeeeeeeeeehhhh, that would make more sense. Heh, they won't be able to catch me."

"That's what you thought last time wasn't it? Black might not be there this time." Komimi teased.

Nezumi's hand paused over the doorknob, her face was slightly red from the agitation. She cast a glare at Komimi.

"Shut up, before I make you."

Komimi stopped smiling immediately. She blinked once, afraid she may have angered Nezumi. She had seen it happen once, during a fight with lower ranked vamps who refused to treat Nezumi with the respect befitting of her rank. They failed to realise that although she was assigned as an infomaster, she is no less skilled than the highly ranked vamps that work with Otabe. She easily took care of THAT problem though.

Komimi shivered at the thought. Nezumi smirked, satisfied that the message had been understood. She swiftly left the room. Leaving Komimi to sigh in relief.

'That girl....even though we're supposed to be friends, she's still too scary.' Komimi thought.


______________________________________________________________________________

  The next night, the HDS members were carrying out their regular patrol. There was more of them than usual. Among them was the ace, Maeda Atsuko, Shaku, Miho, Kanon, and of course Team Horumon. Wota, Mukuchi, Akicha, Bungee and Unagi were so close knit, you rarely see them without each other.

   They weren't really an official team, it's just a joke among the others since they're always together. In the end, Captain Takahashi decided to officially appoint them as an official team since they work best with each other. And it just so happened that when she wanted to announce her decision to them, they were found grilling horumon as usual. Thus, she dubbed them Team Horumon.

"Remember, the moment you suspect something, press the button immediately." Atsuko.

"Hai!" Kanon, Miho and Shaku nodded.

"Team Horumon and I will be posted nearby. Hopefully, she'll take the bait and approach you tonight." Atsuko.

Team Horumon nodded reassuringly at them.

"Don't worry, we've got your backs." Wota.

"She won't know what hit her." Unagi.

"We'll be watching attentively." Akicha.

"Just act natural, and we'll take care of the rest." Bungee.

"............" Mukuchi. (Duh! I love how they keep joking about that)

After a day of searching, they realised that chasing the elusive infomaster will be useless. So they decided to make her come to them instead. The plan is set, the rumours planted, the attackers ready, and the bait, fresh and tempting.

Atsuko and Team Horumon split up to hide in their assigned spots. After waiting a while like agreed, Miho, Shaku, and Kanon headed to the alley where they encountered Nezumi.

"Hey!! Get out here!!" Miho.

"You got our message didn't you?!!!!!" Shaku.

Earlier in the morning, they had purposely spread their challenge around the school. To lure her in, they said that they wanted a re-match as revenge for what happened. Assuming she got the message, they were to meet at the place it all started tonight. But so far, they've got no response.

An hour later.........

Shaku was siting on the ground with her back against the wall, Kanon and Miho remained standing opposite her.

"Ne....I don't think she's coming." Kanon.

"She should have gotten our message right? I mean, she's not an infomaster for no reason...." Miho.

" She definitely knows. Maybe she's ignoring us?" Shaku.

"Should we wait a little longer?" Miho.

Another 10 minutes went by without a sign of Nezumi.

Miho yawned.

"This was such a waste of time."

Suddenly, a flash of orange appeared nearby. Sounds of fighting soon followed. The trio tensed, all senses on high alert as they tried to identify the cause of the noises. More flashes of orange lit their vision. Things were getting chaotic. They huddled together.

"What's going on?!!" Kanon.

"The orange flashes...could it be?" Shaku.

"Atsuko-senpai's flames!!!" Miho.

Their eyes widened at the implication.

"The others are being attacked!!" Shaku.

The sound of laughter sent chills up their spine. Shaku and Miho saw Kanon freeze as she saw something over their shoulders. She pulled a perfect imitation of a deer caught in the headlights. They turned around and saw what caused such a reaction.

There, at the other end of the alley, was the infamous hooded figure. Casually leaning against a wall.

"Did you seriously think, that I wouldn't notice your trap?" Nezumi smirked as she took a few steps closer.

Kanon gulped and hid behind the other two. She still hadn't gotten over what Nezumi did to her before. Noticing this, Nezumi smiled sweetly at her. It was a smile full of dark promises. Behind them, Shaku and Miho could feel Kanon trembling as she held onto their backs. They drew themselves up, enraged at Nezumi for traumatising their friend. Secretly, Kanon was pressing the panic button hidden in her sleeve, hoping that backup will come soon.

"You might as well give up, your backup is currently too overwhelmed to arrive anytime soon." She approached even closer. Shaku and Miho held their ground, guns at the ready, refusing to be bullied into submission.

Nezumi laughed some more.

"What were you expecting? That I'd walk right in without any suspicions? Your plan was so easy to see through it was practically transparent!"

Seeing that they weren't going to attack anytime soon, Nezumi continued.

"You know what? Forget what I said earlier, fight me if you want. It's all the more fun to watch you struggle." An evil smile appeared.

Having enough, Shaku fired first, followed by Miho and Kanon who drew courage from her friends. Of course, all their shots were gracefully dodged. Nezumi then turned around, and ran in the other direction. Confused, Shaku and Miho exchanged a look and ran after her, still shooting.

"Hey!! Get back here!" Miho.

Kanon stayed behind, knowing that Nezumi was up to something.

"No, wait!! Don't chase her!" Kanon.

As soon as those words left her mouth, Nezumi suddenly spun around, and sped towards the pursuing duo. Caught by surprise they couldn't stop or even slow down in time. The combined momentum of their chase and Nezumi's sudden change in direction caused her to approach them much faster than usual.

Nezumi ducked, and rammed her shoulder into Shaku's stomach. She didn't stop there as she used the momentum to flip Shaku behind her back. Shaku landed on her back with a loud thump, completely winded as she tried to get air back into her lungs.

As it happened in a span of a few seconds, Miho could only punch at Nezumi, trying to use the same concept. But Nezumi saw it coming and gracefully sidestepped. Punching Miho in the stomach as she did so. When Miho bent over in pain, Nezumi grabbed her and kneed her in the face.With both hands grasped together, she brought them down on Miho's back like a hammer. Once she was down, Nezumi looked over her shoulder to see a terrified Kanon. She smirked.

"I'm saving you for last." Ignoring the gun pointed at her, Nezumi turned back and resumed fighting against Shaku and Miho, who ran at her with war cries.

Kanon wanted to shoot, but she couldn't risk it with her friends getting in the way. Holstering her gun, she ran towards the fight. Only to be stopped halfway, by a shadow dropping in front of her from above. It was another girl, and her fangs clearly showed that it was another vampire.

The new arrival waved her finger at Kanon, just an arm's length away.

"Ah, ah,ah....you musn't interrupt Nezumi's fun. There's no rush, it will be your turn soon enough."

Kanon whipped out her gun, but suddenly found her butt on the floor. She looked up in shock. The vampire had disarmed her and knocked her to the ground in the blink of an eye. Getting to her feet, Kanon could see Nezumi trading punches with Miho and Shaku. Well, it was actually more like them trying, but missing while hers hit home all the time.

Determined to help them, Kanon ran at the vampire. But she merely sidestepped, grabbed Kanon collar from behind, and twirled her back the way she came from. Kanon was frustrated, she was being played with, that much, she knew. What she didn't know, is the girls' name.

"Stop messing with me! Who are you anyway?!"

"They call me Komimi. Hajimemashite, Kimoto-san." She smiled and gave a mock bow.

"How do you know me?!" Kanon attacked once more.

Komimi caught her punch and spun her around once more. Only this time, Kanon found herself being hugged from behind, with both hands in one of Komimi's grip. Frustrated at being in this position again, Kanon maneuvered her hands to use her gift. She smiled in triumph when her hand made contact with Komimi's. But it soon fell from her face when she realised that nothing was happening.

Komimi started chuckling behind her. She put her mouth next to Kanon's ear and whispered.

"Surprised? Take a closer look."

Kanon did, and felt the blood drain from her face. Komimi had black leather gloves on, and her sleeves were fastened with arm braces,so no inch of skin on her arms could be exposed.

'They know.' Was all Kanon could think.

'They knew all along and took precautions.' She was distracted from trying to escape by Komimi's next words.

"Ne, shitteru? Nezumi told me EVERYTHING about that night, that's why I know your name and gift."

Against her will, Kanon felt shivers run down her spine.

"It's also why I know how delicious your blood tastes."

Kanon's body froze as she heard that.

'No! Not again!' She thought. She could feel Komimi nuzzling her neck.

"She was right about you smelling good too. I can hear it....your blood rushing through your veins....your heart pounding....I really shouldn't steal Nezumi's food. But you're just so tempting....."

Without meaning to, Komimi's fangs grew out, and her eyes turned electric blue. Panting, she slowly licked Kanon's neck. A sharp intake of breath was heard from Kanon.

"Oh well, who cares about consequences."

Kanon's breath stuck in her throat when she heard that.

Komimi bared her fangs.

"Itadakima-oofffff!!!!"

Kanon was separated from Komimi as they both hit the ground. She saw Miho sprawled on top of Komimi and looked back to find Nezumi glaring at Komimi.

"Hey!! Hands off! She's mine!"

"If you want her, hurry up and just take her already!!!!" Komimi was frustrated.

Apparently, Nezumi had thrown Miho at Komimi when she saw what was happening.

Nezumi stumbled forward as Shaku had taken advantage of the situation, and struck her from behind. Growling, Nezumi retaliated with an uppercut, sending Shaku flying a couple feet away. Her approach was cut short as she rolled out of the way. An orange glow just barely missing her face. The ball of flame extinguished as it hit the wall. Behind Shaku's groaning, prone figure, stood the human ace. Her clothes were messy and torn in some places, dirt covered her, but she was otherwise unharmed.

Nezumi heard a cry of pain behind her. She risked a look. Team Horumon had entered as well. They surrounded Komimi, who seemed to be holding her left shoulder in pain.

Nezumi quickly assessed the situation. She was faced with the human ace, and Komimi was hurt and surrounded by Team Horumon. They were trapped, and outnumbered. Things are not looking good.

She dodged another fireball from Atsuko. And ended up having to defend from her barrage of attacks. Nezumi managed to block most of them, but was pushed backwards when Atsuko landed a kick to her stomach. The junior members were up by now, Shaku and Miho flanking her, while Kanon joined in with Team Horumon.

With no time to check on Komimi, Nezumi continued to fend off Atsuko's attacks. But the other two proved to be too much of a distraction. Not to mention they had her cornered with barely enough room to move.

Nezumi moved out of the way of Atsuko's kick, to be met with an incoming punch by Miho. She blocked, and answered with a punch to Miho's face. She immediately spun away to avoid Shaku's tackle, but was too slow to react to Atsuko punch. They closed in on her, and she struggled to fend them off.

At Komimi's end, things were not looking so well either. She was faring worse than Nezumi, with 6 people attacking her. A while into the fight, Komimi realises she's going to tire faster than the 6 people who are taking turns.She countered a punch from Mukuchi, spun to avoid a grapple from Wota but was met with a kick to the face from Akicha. Her head shot backwards, but she raised her arms in time to block Akicha's second kick. Only to miss Bungee's punch from the side. She stumbled backwards, the HDS maintaining a circle around her.

Gritting her teeth, Komimi raised her fists for the next wave. Which came in the form of a kick to the head by Unagi. Komimi ducked under it, and punched her in the stomach. She was tackled from behind by Mukuchi, while Bungee and Akicha took advantage in this lapse and helped Mukuchi to hold her still. Strong as she may be, Komimi was hurt, and too tired to compete against the strength of 3 people.

Wota and Unagi took turns at hitting her. She received a punch to the stomach, one to her face, one to her chest, another to her stomach, and 3 more to her face. Kanon merely watched from the sidelines. They didn't stop until she could no longer stand without being held up by the others. By then, her lip was cut, and she had cuts on her left cheek and above her right eyebrow, and of course bruises all over.

Unagi and Wota just panted, watching her as they rested from their non-stop assault. Komimi felt something rise in her throat, and threw up some blood. It dribbled down the side of her mouth as she raised her head to glare at her attackers. Noticing someone behind them, her eyes shifted to meet with Kanon's.

Kanon was stricken when it happened. But then she realised that Komimi wasn't glaring at her. The look in her eyes was intense, but it wasn't threatening at all. She was merely...........staring. She was staring so intensely, that it seemed as though she could look through Kanon's eyes to see her soul. Without realising it, both of them had stopped breathing. They had forgotten everything around them. It was as if time stood still, and only the two of them existed at that moment.

'Were her eyes always that beautiful?' Thought Kanon. They had faded from the vampire blue to her original eye colour. Almost light brown eyes that seemed to call out to Kanon. What is it about them that affected her so? They just drew her in, trapping her in a staring battle.

The other's noticed this strange behaviour but did nothing except to watch quietly. They were confused and interested to see what happens next.

Back with Nezumi, she was barely keeping up with them. She managed to hit Atsuko a few times, but she was still cornered between the 3 of them and the wall. Ducking under Atsuko's punch, Nezumi hit her in the face, and swung to her right to do the same with Miho, then used her left elbow to strike Shaku on the chin.

But still, they came at her again and again. Shaku managed to nail her in the right shoulder, but Nezumi followed the momentum to spin and lash out with her left fist. A kick from Miho came from Nezumi left, and she raised her arms to block it. Only for Atsuko to place her right hand on Nezumi's aching right shoulder, and use it as leverage to jump high in the air and strike below Nezumi's neck with her flaming left fist.

Nezumi fell to the ground, but quickly rolled away to avoid their kicks. She caught Miho's leg, and twisted it so Miho lost her balance and fell down. Using this opening, Nezumi quickly got up before more damage could be done. But now that Miho was out of the way, Shaku use her shockwave to blast Nezumi into the wall. Atsuko then rained punches on her, Nezumi only managing to block a few due to her disadvantage.

She was now bruised, bloody, burnt and tired. She had to think of a way out fast. She saw an opening and managed to shove Atsuko away. Looking over at the Komimi and Kanon's staring battle, she thought quickly and shouted the first thing that came to her mind.

"GOOD JOB TURNING KIMOTO, KOMIMI!!!"

Atsuko's punch paused in mid-air. Her plan worked as all HDS head whipped around to stare at Kanon. Komimi wrenched herself free from the 3 holding her still, while Nezumi pushed past Atsuko and they both jumped from wall to wall until they reached the roof. They barely stopped for a nod, before heading in separate directions, running from roof to roof. This way, they have a better chance of losing their pursuers.

Nezumi looked back, and saw Atsuko on her tail. She was using her fire to propell her over the gap between rooftops. Nezumi nearly tripped as she dodged a fireball. She cursed. Losing her would be more difficult than she thought. She ran across the city with Atsuko hot on her tail. Dodging fireballs the best that she could. But Atsuko wasn't the ace for nothing, quite a few of her flames grazed Nezumi despite her best efforst. Burning her clothes and skin.

Realising that she was leaving the neutral zone, Nezumi looked up and realised who's territory she was entering. She cursed her luck, and her foolishness for being driven to this area. Seeing no way to turn back, she steeled herself and hoped the patrols won't notice her entrance into the woods. Though with Maeda flaming around, that wouldn't seem likely. At least the trees seemed to be slowing her down a little.

There's no ground. Realising she was running towards a cliffs edge, Nezumi stopped just in time. She looked down and gulped. That was a loooong drop. Trees covered the bottom though, maybe they'd break her fall?

She turned around to see how far behind Atsuko was, only to be hit by 3 consecutive fireballs. The force of the impacts pushed her off the cliffs edge. Nezumi felt pain spread across her body, she heard the wind whistling past, the leaves rustling, and her body seemed to float in the air for a second.

'Weird,' she thought.

'I don't hear any night animals. You'd think they'd be out at this time of the night...'

And then, there was only darkness.


______________________________________________________________________________


Jurina and Rena were running through the woods in wolf form. They were chasing each other. Having fun just by being together. They barked and howled at each other happily, the equivalent of laughing and giggling in human form. After a while of running, they emerged to a clearing in the forest.. It was a field covered with beautiful flowers in full bloom. On top of that, there was a lake, whose clear, pristine surface reflected the full moon in a starry sky. It was truly a beautiful night.

Jurina playfully tackled Rena as they ran through the field. They tumbled and rolled around on the ground as they play wrestled. Jurina ended up on Rena, and shifted to human form, smiling. Seeing this, Rena followed suit, returning Jurina's smile. They stayed that way, staring into each other's eyes.

Jurina's smile slowly faded as her eyes drifted lower, ending up on Rena's lips. Rena stopped smiling as well, when she noticed what happened. Both were blushing rather heavily now. Jurina's heart was beating a mile a minute, her chest heaving with shallow breaths, and then she realised that Rena was in the same state.

She tried to calm her heart, and licked her lips, forcing her eyes back up to meet Rena's. She lowered her head, but stopped at the sound of Rena's voice. It was a whisper that demanded all of Jurina's attention. (From here on, they're talking in intimate whispers)

"Jurina, what are we?"

Knowing that she wasn't referring to their species, Jurina replied.

"We're whatever you want us to be...."

Rena stared deep into Jurina's eyes. Intense........Searching.......

"But what do YOU want us to be?"

Jurina thought for a while. Did she dare? She knew what she wanted, but was always afraid of rejection. Even though people called her the kissing monster, she kept her true feelings hidden. Deciding to go for it, she replied.

"I'm actually hoping...... That what you want, is the same as what I want us to be."

"Ne, Jurina..."

"Hai?"

"Shitteru?"

"Nani?"

"I....think I'm in love with you."

Jurina's heart stopped. Then it seemed to make up for that lapse by beating even faster than before. Leaning down, she whispered.

"Rena-chan....I think I'm in love with you too."

Then, their lips met. Jurina may have stolen kisses before, but this was their first kiss willingly done as a couple. It was bliss, they both wanted time to stay still so that they could remain in that moment forever. When they separated, both wore heavy blushes, but both were also smiling shyly.

A while later, they would both be found under a tree, still in the same clearing. Rena was sitting with her back against the tree, while Jurina had her head on Rena's lap. She happily closed her eyes as Rena stroked her head. It was quiet, with only the sounds of the night to serenade them. No words were needed as they simply enjoyed each others company.

Realising that Rena had stopped stroking her head, Jurina looked up to see her yawning. She got up and pulled Rena to her feet,

"We better get home, it's getting pretty late, and you're tired."

"Mou...but I wanted to spend more time with Jurina." Rena pouted cutely. Jurina's heart warmed, and she smiled in response.

"Don't worry, we're dating now aren't we?"

Rena blushed.

"D-D-Dating....."

Jurina laughed.

"Yes, dating, now come on. Since you're tired, I'll carry you back."

Jurina shifted into her wolf form, and ignored Rena's protests, nudging her onto her back.

Sighing, Rena relented, and sat on Jurina's back. Her fur was thick, yet so soft. After a while, Rena lay her head by Jurina's shoulder, so that she was practically lying down on her back.

"Jurina-chan....you're so warm."
Jurina realised that Rena fell asleep soon after. So she took the longer route so that they wouldn't bump into any patrols. Once home, she ignored the looks of those still awake, and entered Rena's room, still in wolf form. She stopped next to Rena's bed, and slowly tilted her body. Making Rena slowly slide into her bed. There was a slight thump as she landed, but Rena continued snoozing.

She laughed quietly at how cute Rena was when sleeping. She was tucking Rena in, when something in the window caught her eye. Deciding to check it out, she kissed Rena on the forehead.

"I'll be back soon. Sleep well, Rena-chan." She whispered.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

She was running in wolf form now. What ever those orange flashes were, they're moving fast. Jurina soon realised that she was approaching at a disadvantageous angle. By the looks of it, the flashes were approaching the cliff. But it was on the top, while Jurina is at the bottom end.

"At this rate, the patrol will get to it faster." Thought Jurina.

As she caught up to it, a burnt smell wafted to her nose. Fire! Those orange flashes were fire! What was the human ace doing in werewolf teritory?

She was getting closer to the cliff now, but it was so high up that she could only make out the flames being thrown. What is she shooting at? As if in reply, Jurina saw 3 flashes in quick succession, and a shadowed figured falling off the edge of the cliff. Alarmed, Jurina searched the areas where it seemed to have fallen.

It's probably a good thing that there were many trees, and thick bushes to break the fall. But that also made it hard for her to find the landing zone. Finally, she spotted it. The broken branches and sunken bush gave it away.

Approaching carefully, she found an unconscious figure wearing a burnt hoodie over her school seifuku.

"That hoodie...don't tell me." She thought.

The hood came down from the fall, so Jurina managed to get a good look at the girl's face. She was shocked as her suspicions were confirmed.

"What in the world are you doing here?"[/size]

Yaaaaah Why Black is not here??

Really good update too interesting!

[mo-chan]

good luck in school 
Nezumi and Black are a cute couple I love it

Wmatsui are so lovely they are dating now 

[Crossing Crossroads]

Ohyouknowjusthowtomakemefangirl/smile... AHAHA.

Sweet WMatsui~~~ AHHHHH...

The fighting scene is just freaking awesome, and I loved the "moment" with Komimi and Kimoto~ FARRINRABUAWREADY. Sudden curiosity, but if you were to put Peace together with someone, who would it be? And Paru?

You're right though, Komimi has a lot of potential of being a (more) serious character and having a good amount of further character development. However, it's a better role than in MG 1 and 2, right? Despite that I loved her as Dance as well~ She... is/would be a lovely ikemen. Justsaiyan'. I want to see her in more ikemen roles... AHAHA. (SKE Ikemen Gakuen/SKE Danso please? I can only remember one SKE member doing Danso on AKBINGO and that's Rena. I hope/wish they bring back the Danso/Ikemen Gakuen segment soon. )

[kahem]

WMatsui!!!! Cute!
Kumin/Non YAY!!!!

[kuronekosan]

Yay! I'm back! Thanks for all the support and reviews. As expected, there are more responses once some romance is involved. (Shrewd face) 
I shouldn't actually be here. Mock exams are next week, but oh well. I always feel better writing this. I haven't been able to train or run around lately, so it's as if I'm doing it through them. My fists are itching. Just.......itching. Especially after watching Show fight. I wanted to jump in the ring soooooooo badly.  Maybe that's why there's been a lot of fight scenes lately.

I always get excited at a potential fight. Majisuka Rock and Roll is great, but Yankee Soul just calls out to me. You know? Sigh. I miss my freedom. Don't follow what I do kiddies(if there are any). I'm a baaaaaaaaaadd example.

Speaking of Show Fight, I'm loving it more than Gingham Check, though it's PV is so amusing I can't stop laughing. But with Show Fight, the song is cooler, and so is the PV. Just listening to it now makes me feel my blood running. You know the feeling? If you haven't checked it out, do so! It's awesome, plain and simple. Granted, there are certain details that could be improved. But that's just cause I'm used to fighting. Maybe you wouldn't feel the same. Aaaaaaannnndddd I'm rambling now. Why didn't you stop me? 

But seriously, there's this move that Kanon did in the PV. It just blew me away. She did it so beautifully.....I loved it so much I included it in the chapter! See if you can spot it, maybe I'll give a special preview as reward? But then again, maybe it's too easy.....Oh well, I guess it'll depend on how many people got it.

@Pwety- Black can't ALWAYS stalk Nezumi. She's got a life, right? I'm glad you found it interesting. My main concern is boring you all.

@mo-chan-Thanks! I managed to stay awake! Well, during classes at least. I totally slept during free period. It's God's gift to us students. And I made sure to drink lots of apple juice and black coffee just in case, I'm glad you're liking it so far. You'll find the answer to your question here.




Warning. Fangirl section BEGINS



@Crossing Crossroads- I'm so happy you fangirl-ed!! The fight scenes are now my pride.(I guess?) I always spend quite some time making sure it fits and is realistic. Except for the supernatural part, but you know what I mean. The 'moment' as you put it is often what excites us in dramas, don't you think so? I wanted to re-create that intensity, so I'm glad I succeeded. (I hope) The thing about her eyes and intensity was totally inspired by Mousou Deka. She was doing Danso again. Have you seen it? There's this intimate scene she did with Hiramatsu Kanako when they got together. It was so well done. It really looked as if they were in love! And the look in Kumi's eyes!!!! Ahhhh! So good. You can watch it here!

Also! It turns out she was in a movie as a high school kid.Waya! Uchuu Ichi no Osekkai Daisakusen. Jurina was there too, but there are less scenes of her. Though refreshing, I found that the role was TOO normal. How about giving her a cooler or more evil role instead? I'm sure she could pull it off! About the pairings for Peace and Paru. I had never really thought about it. I mean I had, but only in the Maji3 universe. I have my answer now though. Maybe you know by now, maybe you don't. You'll have to wait to find out!

Rena's Danso was so awesome!!!! OMG and Nezu-I mean Mayu's!!(Heh heh I keep typing down Nezumi I almost forgot)

When the doctor came out....Kyaaaaaahhhh!!!! I was rolling around on my bed for so long.... (Since I watched the scene on my phone before I slept)

I just re-read that sentence and realised you might take it the wrong way. I meant in a fangirling squeeling kind of way. Not in a perverted way. My heart was beating so fast for the next two days. And it still does whenever I think about it!  :nya:OMG the way she flirted.....I totally second the vote to bring it back. This time Jurina should try too! And Yui's silver hair in Ikemen Gakuen.


Fangirl section ends

@Kahem-Haha! Your replies are always so short and kawaii! And always has the word cute in them! Thanks anyway!


After a VERY long A/N.........

Chapter 7



Peace, Paru, and Nanashi had just finished hunting. It was pretty much a normal night. They caught their prey with little difficulty, and didn't bump into the HDS. The trio are getting used to things, and it showed. Having enough for the night, they began heading home.

"Ne, you heard about Nezumi-san's challenge right?" Peace.

"Do you think she's going to go?" Nanashi.

"It's hard to say, Nezumi-san's pretty unpredictable." Paru.

"But what were they thinking? They're the ones that got beaten up right?" Nanashi.

"They must be pretty tough, to be able to fight again so soon." Paru.

"Do you remember what Black-senpai said? About the HDS having a healer." Peace.

"Ahhhhh!! You're right." Nanashi and Paru just remembered.

"But still, to go at it again so soon? Especially when you're the ones who lost?" Paru.

"You don't think they're up to something, do you?" Peace.

"I'd say they've definitely planned something for revenge. I heard that Nezumi-san took a bite out of Kimoto." Nanashi.

"Really?!!" Paru and Peace were shocked.

"That's new." Peace.

"Where did you hear that?" Paru.

"I heard I senior group of HDS members talking about it in the restrooms." Nanashi.

"Ohhhhhhhhh...." Both Paru and Peace chorused.

"Wait...." Something clicked.

"You were in the restrooms alone..." Paru.

"With senior HDS members?!" Peace.

"Are you crazy?! How did you get out there in one piece?" Paru.

Nanashi looked away blushing.

"It's not like that......."

Her friends eyes widened in shock, their mouths gaping open like goldfishes.

"Don't tell me...." Peace.

"You can't be..." Paru.

Nanashi looked at them in confusion.

"What?"

"You're dating one of them!" Paru.

"You know you can't do that!" Peace.

"EHHHH!!!!!!" Nanashi.

Peace and Paru continued panicking. Worried for their friend. They were both speaking over the other, their words so fast, they were getting jumbled together. Among them, an overwhelmed Nanashi could make out,

"What were you thinking?" That was from Peace.

"How could you do that to Otabe-san?" Paru.

"The other's are going to KILL you!" Was that Paru again?

"Who is it anyway?" Peace?

Having enough, Nanashi yelled over the noise.

"STOP!!!!!" Taking deep breaths, she noticed that they had quieted down. She held out her hands, trying to explain.

"Look, you got it all wrong. I was hiding in the bathroom stall when it happened. I only came out when they already left."


Silence.


Then Peace and Paru burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha!!! You should have just said so!" Peace.

"And to think...hahahaha!!! That we were so worried." Paru.

"Mou, it's your fault for jumping to conclusions!" Nanashi pouted.

Still laughing, they followed Nanashi as she continued her way home. Nanashi suddenly stopped.

"Did you see that?"

"See what?" Paru.
As if in answer, an orange light flashed to their right.

"What is that?" Nanashi.

"It keeps flashing, but it's getting further away...." Peace.

"It's heading to werewolf territory." Paru.

"Forget about that, what's with those lights?" Peace.

"What lights?" Nanashi.

"There! Look." Peace pointed them out. They were happening to their right also, but from a different direction.

"Hey.....they're getting closer pretty fast." Paru started backing up, she had a bad feeling about this.

Ignoring Nanashi and Paru who were trying to pull her away, Peace peered closer.

"Those....aren't lights." Peace. They could now make out shouts, accompanied by a certain sound.

They froze, listening intently.

"They sound like...." Paru.

"LASERS!" Nanashi. They looked at each other, and realised it together.

"HDS!!"

They quickly scrambled to hide behind a huge dumpster. They peeked from their hiding place to see that the lasers were being shot upwards.

"There's someone on the roof." Paru whispered.

The HDS were getting closer, but still not close enough to recognise anyone.
The trio slunk back into their hiding place.

"We have to help!" Peace whispered urgently.

"We're outnumbered!" Nanashi argued.

A shout of pain was heard, then a loud thump on the ground.

They could hear the HDS cheering in triumph.

They held their breaths as they heard sounds of a struggle. Then someone shouting.

"Don't let her get away!"

Someone ran pass their hiding place. Even from behind, they recognised Komimi. She wasn't doing too well. She looked pretty battered, and her limp was slowing her down. More people pass them. Ironically, Nanashi launched herself at one of them from behind. That person was caught by surprise, and fell under Nanashi's weight.

Hearing Akicha's cry of surprise, the others turned around and spotted 2 vampires coming at them, while Akicha was on the ground with another on top of her. Everyone immediately ran to Akicha's aid. Everyone except Kanon.

She stared at the escaping Komimi for a while. Shaking herself out of it, she turned back toward Team Horumon.

Realising that something had changed, Komimi looked back tand stopped, when she saw the 3 junior vamps fighting against the HDS.

Despite their best efforts, Team Horumon's great teamwork allowed them to surround the trio. This was a situation one would want to avoid when outnumbered. They stood back to back, fists raised.

Waiting....

Peace glanced at Nanashi.

"I thought you didn't want to help?"

Nanashi shrugged.

"We can't abandon one of our own."

"After all, we're nakama, aren't we?" Paru smirked.

"Oi junior!! You got some guts jumping at us like that." Wota.

"Learn your place, newbies!" Bungee.

"Urusai! We do what we want." Nanashi.

"Who are you to tell us off anyway?!" Peace.

"Naniiiii??!! Don't you know? We're Team Horumon!" Akicha.

".........." Mukuchi nodded.

The trio looked at each other.

"Shiranai." Paru.

"Me neither." Peace.

"Same here." Nanashi.

"What?! Forget about that, we're gonna teach you not to mess with the HDS!" Wota.

Wota lunged forward to punch Nanashi. She was too slow to react, but luckily, Paru pulled her aside. Peace, who was on Nanashi's right, spun around to punch Wota when she missed Nanashi. Akicha kicked her from behind, which sent her stumbling right into Unagi's punch.

Kanon managed to land a punch on Paru, separating her from Nanashi. Paru punched back, but was hit by Mukuchi before it could connect. Nanashi blocked Bungee's punch, and kicked her in the stomach, but forgot all about Wota, who struck her from behind.

Komimi was about to resume her escape, but stopped when she saw the trio getting pummeled. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh of frustration.

"Mou!!!!"

She ran toward them as fast as she could, and rammed her shoulder into Unagi, who had just kicked Nanashi to the ground. She kept Wota at bay, giving Nanashi time to get up.

"Arigato." Nanashi.

"You should have just stayed hidden." Komimi said when she ducked a punch by Mukuchi. Peace kicked her in the face from Komimi's left.

"You knew we were there?" Peace.

"Hah! There's nothing my ears can't hear." Komimi was hit in the stomach by Bungee.

"Too bad you couldn't block my punch with your hearing."

She blocked Peace's kick, but didn't see Paru's punch from her right. Wota saved her by tackling Paru away, giving Bungee the chance to hit Peace in the face. Nanashi grabbed Bungee's shoulders, pulling her down to knee her in the stomach twice, before pulling her up knocking her aside with a punch to the chin..

Wota was straddling Paru who was lying on the ground. She had her arms raised, trying to defend against Wota's punches. Komimi pulled Wota off her, and pulled Paru off the ground. Wota came back with a punch, causing Komimi to stumble aside, while Paru hit her back.

Nursing her stinging cheek, Komimi felt someone approaching from behind. She spun around with her fist raised.............

To see Kanon in the same position.

They paused, and in that split second, their eyes met.

But that moment was broken when Peace collided with Komimi. Apparently, Unagi had kicked her in the head, and she had accidentally fallen on top of Komimi.

Komimi groaned as she got up. What was it with people being thrown at her today!
Nanashi punched Akicha, but was too slow to block Mukuchi who had replaced Akicha immediately after. This sent her stumbling backwards into Wota.

She slipped her arms under Nanashi's and locked her shoulders still. Nanashi struggled to escape from Wota's hold, but was distracted by Mukuchi's punch.

Seeing her chance, Kanon extended her hand and touched Nanashi on the forehead. She went limp immediately, and Wota let her drop to the ground.

"Nanashi!" Peace panicked at her friends safety.

She rushed toward Nanashi, but Komimi held her back.

"Don't let Kimoto touch you!" Komimi. It's 6 versus 3 now. The vampires that remained standing fought back desperately.

Paru blocked Unagi's punch and returned the favour. Akicha appeared immediately, swiping both hands at either side of Paru's neck in a double chop. Paru raised both arms in time, but Akicha kicked her in the stomach at once, then continued pummeling her.

Peace kicked at Mukuchi, then spun to her left to fend off Bungee. After trading punches, Bungee surprised Peace by running in for a tackle. Managing to stay on her feet, Peace rained her fists on Bungee's back. But she still let go, and that left Peace vulnerable. Kanon quickly ran the short distance, and jumped high.She spun while in the air, and delivered a punch so strong, Peace's head snapped the other direction, and she was down immediately.

Komimi was busy dealing with Unagi and Wota simultaneously. They were taking turns attacking her, and she was barely managing. She kept on the defensive as they didn't give her time to retaliate. She kept alternating from left to right, keeping her attention on both of them. Wota was on her left, and she blocked a punch from there. A kick from Unagi, so she shifted to her left to block it.

Another punch from her left,an uppercut from her right. A kick to her stomach from Wota, a left hook from Unagi. Seeing her chance, Komimi blocked and shifted her hip to get inside Unagi's defenses. In that split second she was close enough to deliver 2 consecutive punches. One to the stomach, then an uppercut that sent Unagi flying.

Wota responded with a kick to Komimi's head. She raised both arms to block, but was surprised when Wota continued on kicking that same spot. The kicks were pushing her back, and her arms were hurting. With a mighty shout, Wota delivered a powerful kick that despite blocking, sent Komimi sprawling.

As she got up,Bungee and Unagi held her still from behind. Seeing this, Peace, who had recovered, rushed to help with Paru. Unfortunately, Akicha and Mukuchi were in the way, and purposely kept them distracted.

At Wota's call, Kanon approached the helpless Komimi.


She gulped and slowly raised her hand.


For some reason, she was feeling nervous.


Was it those eyes again?


Even knowing what would happen, Komimi was completely calm.


Which confused Kanon.


Wasn't she afraid?


The longer she stared, the more she felt guilty.


Her eyes.........



Too calm. Too intense........










Too beautiful.


Kanon couldn't take it, she closed her eyes, and closed the gap.


Only for her hand to be met with air.

Kanon opened her eyes to see Bungee and Unagi on the ground, Komimi was nowhere in sight. Wota rushed at something behind Kanon. She didn't even have time to turn around before Wota literally flew backwards just inches from her.

She whirled around in shock. The rest of Team Horumon ran at something. But to her shock, they all fell to the ground for no reason.

Black appeared in front of her for a split second, before her back connected painfully with the wall behind her. Her head hit slammed against the wall from the recoil.



As she fell to the ground, the last thing she saw was the junior vampires, gathered behind Black.

And Komimi, watching her with her beautiful eyes.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


Once all the HDS were knocked out, Black turned to her juniors. Peace and Paru were both holding Nanashi up. They were both too battered to carry her individually.

"What happened?"

"We were on our way home when we saw Komimi running away from them." Peace.

"So we jumped in to help." Paru.

At that, everyone looked at Komimi.

She coughed, and looked away from Black's gaze.

"I....was with Nezumi."

"Nezumi?" Black.

"You mean about the re-match? "Peace.

Komimi nodded at her.

"She knew there was an ambush waiting, so the others and I provided distractions."

"And where are they now?" Black.

"I don't know. I only saw Nezumi run off with Maeda still chasing her."

"The human ace? This is bad. The rest of you head back. You should be safe once you cross our borders."

"Senpai, are you going after Nezumi?" Paru.

Black nodded.

"But-" Peace.

"No buts. Just head straight home. Understand?" Black.

"Hai." They chorused.

Black flit out of their sight.

Paru turned to look at Peace.

"What are we going to do about Nanashi? She's still paralysed....."

"Don't worry, it'll wear off soon."

As they made their way home, Nanashi regained feeling in her limbs. Soon, she was able to walk, and helped support Komimi instead while Peace and Paru held each other up.

"Ahhh!!! I'm so glad I can move again. You don't know what it's like! Not being able to do anything. I wanted to help so badly, but I could only watch...." Nanashi.

"Count yourself lucky. You laying still on the floor meant that they wouldn't target you anymore." Paru.

"Yeah! We've got twice as much bruises than you now." Peace.

"Hey! It's not like I wanted to." Nanashi.

"But they were really tough weren't they?" Paru.

"Their teamwork is really something."Peace.

"I"m glad Black-senpai came in time." Nanashi.

"We'll beat them next time." Peace's face was serious. The others looked at her.

Paru and Nanashi smiled.

"Of course! We'll get stronger together." Paru.

"After all, we're nakama aren't we?" Nanashi.

Komimi was silent throughout the exchange.

"Hey......" They all looked at her. Komimi blushed, and looked away.

"Thanks.....for helping me."

They smiled at her.

"No problem! Komimi is a nakama too!" Peace.

"And you came back to help too, didn't you?" Nanashi.

For the first time since they've met, Komimi smiled back. While glad to have made new friends, Komimi couldn't help but worry about Nezumi. Would Black get to her before anything bad happens?

But there was nothing she could do about it now. She could only hope.

So for the moment, she could only enjoy her new friends' companionship.

And that was how they made their way home, by supporting each other all the way.


______________________________________________________________________________

Black was running as fast as she could toward werewolf territory. She hoped she would make it in time.

'That silly girl. No matter how smart you are, it was a risky move to make.' Was what Black thought.

'At least have a backup plan, or let the rest of us know first.'

As she neared the border, she spotted Atsuko running out. With a patrol of werewolves behind out.

Black skid to a stop. If Atsuko was here, then what about Nezumi? Did she get away? Or did the werewolves catch her?

Seeing Black, Atsuko shouted.

"Get out of the way!!"

And she did.

Atsuko ran past her, with half of the patrol following her into neutral territory.

The other half stopped in front of Black, just inside their territory. They must have thought she was trying to trespass. The leading werewolf shifted to human form.

It was Mayuge.

"What are you doing here Black?"

"I heard a huge commotion around here and thought I'd check it out."Black lied.

"Riiiiiiiiiiigghhtttt........." Mayuge didn't believe her for a second.

"What was the human ace doing in your territory?"

Mayuge narrowed her eyes.

"Why are you asking?"

Black shrugged.

"Wouldn't you?"

Deciding to humour her, Mayuge answered.

"She was chasing someone in the woods."

"The woods?" Black.

"Yes, are you deaf or something." Mayuge.

"No, just surprised. How unlike the werewolves to let an intruder so deep into your territory." Black smirked.

Mayuge growled at her. The furs of the werewolves bristled.

"We didn't LET her. We knew she was there all along, but couldn't catch up." Mayuge.

"And the other person?" Black.

"What?" Mayuge.

"If you were chasing Atsuko then you must have already caught the other person?" Black.

Mayuge frowned.

"There was no one else there when we reached her. The other group is searching to make sure."

"Didn't you follow the scent?" Black.

"What sort of interrogation is this? Whatever, the scent of the other person is masked by the flowers around there." Mayuge.

"................"

"You know something. Don't you, Black?' Mayuge.

"I don't know anymore than you do." With that, Black disappeared.

Mayuge and her group were about to continue the chase after Atsuko, but then a howl rang out.
Atsuko had managed to escape into human territory. Mayuge cursed, human territory was the closest to theirs, of course she'd make it.

When the pursuing group returned, Mayuge led her patrol back to the den.
Great......why was it always her that had to report bad news to the Alpha?

______________________________________________________________________________

Black was heading back to vampire territory. Since the werewolves didn't find Nezumi did that mean she was safe? Did she escape? Or was she still hiding?

After all, the woods were deep in werewolf territory. If they didn't find her in the woods, she could be in the town section.

Maybe she had already made it home. Hoping that may be so, Black sped up.

She made a mental note to report this to Otabe once she arrived.

[yuukimoko]

nooooo~

Black lose Nezumi?!!?!?!?!

Go find her now Black ! before someone else steals her from you!!!!!!!!

Nezumi needs a punch for making Black worry....but also a kiss for the poor her~

[mo-chan]

yei black came to save Nezumi again where did Nezumi go? I hope is ok

Nezumi needs a punch for making Black worry....but also a kiss for the poor her~

I'm with you yuuki-chan!

[kahem]

Sorry, my answers are short because I write what I feel at the moment lol
I always say cute because the pairings are cute~
I like the fight scenes! Team work is wonderful!!!!

[kiruchi]

Nezumi's scent was concealed?
Probably Jurina's doing.... I wonder why Jurina (IF she's the one doing it) help Nezumi?
Update soon!!!

[Crossing Crossroads]

OHOHOHO... how dare you make me fangirl before I even started the chapter. How dare you. Can't complain though.

Oh, I TOTALLY saw Mousou Deka. The only screenshots I have from Mousou Deka on my phone are Ikemen!Kumi. (No really. LOL.) One day I wanted to put all the Kumi pictures I had in my documents together, and realized more than 3/4 of it was Ikemen!Kumi...  I knew both Jurina and Kumi appeared in WAYA! too, but I couldn't watch it.

Kumi as the antagonist would be good. I think she did well in MG3 episode 1 when they were beating up Paru~

Ugh, oh god. Mayu-doctor and Archerboy!Rena... I didn't take it the wrong way. Actually, I was pretty much the same... Her commentary at the end was even better than the actual act, but cute/shy!Doctor!Mayu is cute. I've watched Mayu's DANSO at least 12 times already. The fangirl effect is still 100% there. I just watched it last night again..~ AHHH~~

"I want him in my house." (AHAHA 2SIDEDJOKE)
"As in?"
"I feel like he can cure me of anything."
"I'm glad. If you'd have me, I'd love to come."

"...I want her to... look down at me."
*MayuyulooksdownonKasai*
*UNLEASHTHEFANGIRLSQUEALS*

Reno's DANSO was awesome as well. Ahh~ However, I also somewhat liked the commentary for her a bit more.

"What did you think of it, Jurina?"
"I actually... didn't vote for her."
"Why?"
"I thought it was good but... I still see her as Rena-chan."
"Ja... Can I shoot her?"
"Eh?"
"EH? Please wait a minute! W-wait a minute!"
"I can see dressing up as a boy changes your character too!"
^ All from memory right there. They removed all the english subbed episodes of AKBINGO Danso on youtube. 

Too true. Jurina SHOULD try it. I'm 100% sure she'll get a lot of votes. I've only seen pictures of Ikemen!Jurina on her private self-shots or shots with other members in the 48 family/group. And one photoshopped/edited picture (Can't complain though, that photoshopped one was pretty hot... AHAHA), and for a magazine or two. Rena as well, I've only seen very few private shots with Ikemen!Rena. 

Yui~ That's all I have for her. Come to think of it, Yui's only done danso twice right? WENEEDMOAROFYOUYUIHAN.

Please, feel free to dress as ikemen again, our dear 48 members~

[lollita90]

why does mayuyu not in good term with yukirin?    i'll hang myself for that.

thanks for the chapters, kuronekosan. please update more soon! 

i read what you guys talked about danso. damn, i want them back too! why is there no more danso episode now? Dr Watanabe was sooooo breathtaking, especially when she handled all the requests from the fangirls 

but then when i watched rena's part, i was like      (can't explain what i felt in words)

she was extremely ikemen!! and when she said to jurina, "can i shoot her", i was like,    yes2, shoot her with your arrow of love! or you can just shoot at me 

oh btw, thanks for the link video of kuumin. she's so cute! i haven't finished watching mousou deka yet, since it's hard to find one with eng sub. i couldn't understand the story much, but i squealed upon seeing kuumin. omg, i just wished i was at kanako's place!    i can feel her fingers on my own cheek! 

*dying from too much blood loss. RIP to myself*

[kuronekosan]

Update! Yay! Spent an all nighter on this one. So I'll keep the A/N short.

Thanks to everyone for their support!

@yuukimoko-Think of it this way. You never know what you've got until you lose it. So Black has to lose Nezumi before she can actually find her. Know what I mean?

@mo-chan-You'll see what happens to Nezumi here!!!

@kahem-There's no need to apologise! Your cute comments are kawaii! I appreciate the effort. Seriously!

@kiruchi-Jurina's reason will be revealed! I hope it's not lame though....

@Crossing Crossroads-I made you fangirl before the chapter? Hahaha!! I'm glad we can fangirl together. I seriously lol'd when Rena wanted to shoot Jurina. They were both so kawai!!!

@lolita90-Don't hang yourself!!!  :OMG:Not everyone can start out as lovers immediately, right? Where'd all the story be? Haha! I'm glad we found another Danso fan. And I seriously fangirl-ed when you fangirl-ed over that scene in Mousou Deka. Stop reminding me of it! How am I supposed to write, if I keep daydreaming about other scenes?!! Nah, just kidding. I usually download the eps raw then get the subs online. I can show you if you want?


I am SUPER sleepy with an engagement party to attend later. I have to leave the house at 8.30 a.m. It is now......5.5.0 a.m. and I'm still planning to watch the latest MG3 ep. So here's the next chapter!!

Chapter 8

Upon arriving at the mansion, the vampires still awake were shocked at the state Komimi and the 3 juniors were in. They were quickly ushered into the infirmary, waiting for the vampire medic. It was just their luck that the medic was off duty at the moment.

While waiting, Paru and Peace made themselves comfortable on one of the empty beds. Komimi and Nanashi decided to sit on the one opposite them. The door burst open and medic entered the room.



Or so they were expecting.

Instead, Otabe strode into the room, followed by Gakuran. She stood in front of the two beds, and surveyed the situation. Komimi seemed to be hurt the most, but they were all bruised and bloodied.

Something fierce burned in her eyes, and they avoided her gaze. They might have been too ashamed, afraid, or maybe even both. Gakuran found the mini-fridge in the back of the room, and took out some blood-packets.

She handed one to each of the injured juniors, and told them to finish it. They did so obediently, and immediately felt better. As they were drinking, their wounds started to close, and the bruises faded. Once done, looks of relief could be seen on their faces.

Otabe approached Paru, who was nearest to her. She lifted Paru's chin with her hand, and brushed her bangs aside. Paru gulped as she saw Otabe scrutinize her.

"Your wounds are definitely getting better, but I'd rather all of you get properly examined first."

As if on cue, the medic entered the room. She stopped halfway, and nodded a greeting.

"President. Vice-president."

Otabe and Gakuran nodded in kind.

"Airi-han, I've already given each of them a bag of blood" Otabe.

"Then they must have been in a pretty bad shape since they're still in this state." Airi.(Furukawa Airi)

It was true, drinking blood doesn't necessarily cure all your wounds. It actually re-energises you so that your body can heal itself. And since vampires have an accelerated healing rate, many assume that blood would cure anything. It also depends on the severity of the wounds. Considering how beaten up they were, the blood only helped lessen the severity of it.


"What happened anyway? "Airi.

"I was wondering the same thing." Otabe. She looked at the injured juniors.

Peace, Nanashi and Paru looked at Komimi instead.

With a gulp, Komimi began explaining.

While this happened, Airi did a thorough check-up, noting Komimi's limp, and hurt shoulder. Other than that, and Peace's cracked ribs, it was all regular cuts and bruises for everyone. Once Komimi was done explaining, they all looked at Otabe for a reaction.

There was none. Otabe kept silent, thinking things through.

"President? What do you want us to do now?" Gakuran.

Otabe addressed Airi instead.

"How are they?"

"Well, another bag of blood should do the trick. Komimi's limp and Peace's cracked ribs should heal overnight."

"Gakuran, if you would." Otabe.

Hearing this, Gakuran helped Airi distribute the blood packs. Otabe didn't speak until they had finished drinking them.

"Gakuran and I will wait for Black to return with Nezumi. The rest of you, return to your rooms and get some proper rest."

They nodded with understanding. Otabe turned to Airi.

"Airi-han, thanks for waking up for such a sudden call."

"No problem, President. It is my pleasure as always." Airi.

Otabe then left the room with Gakuran at her heels. They met Black just outside the infirmary.

"President, have you heard?" Black.

"Yes. Have you found Nezumi?" Otabe.

Black shook her head. She then relayed everything that she discovered and her theories behind them to Otabe.

Otabe frowned.

"I see....Alert the patrols to keep an eye out for Nezumi. And tell them to be extra careful when checking the borders. The humans or werewolves may be planning something."

Gakuran nodded.

"And when you're done, pick a unit and search our side of town. Black, you will lead a unit to search the neutral zones. But before that, I need you to update the Kabuki sisters to bring a unit and search the West side of the woods. I will personally head another unit to search the East side."

Black and Gakuran nodded, and rushed off to fulfill their duties.

Otabe turned as she heard the infirmary door open. 4 juniors exited, and Komimi approached Otabe.

"President, I'm sorry I got us into such trouble." Komimi said with a bow.

"Raise your head, it's not yours, or Nezumi's fault, It was bound to happen sooner or later." Otabe.

Komimi looked up in surprise.

"Just remember keep us informed next time." Otabe gave her a small smile.

Komimi tentatively smiled back.

"Hai! Shitsureshimasu!" She gave another bow and left toward her room.

Otabe looked at the the 3 juniors.

"You have something to say to me?"

"Ano....Otabe-san, we'd also like to apologise. For not being able to do anything." Peace.

"You're apologising for getting beaten up? That's a new one." Otabe started laughing.

"But people know you brought us in. That's means we carry your name on our shoulders!" Nanashi.

"Us being weak will soil your reputation!" Paru.

Otabe smiled kindly at them.

"There is nothing to apologise about. It's normal to get hurt, and lose in a fight."

"But your reputation!" Peace.

"You are you, and I am me. My achievements have nothing to do with you, and vice versa." Otabe.

She approached them, and patted each of them on the head.

"Besides, you defended Komimi did you not? Getting into a fight to protect a nakama, even though you are outmatched and outnumbered. That is true strength. And I am already proud to have such brave and loyal kouhai." Otabe.

The juniors were speechless.

"Now go on. You're supposed to be resting. You can take a break from your duties tomorrow. I'll tell Komimi to do the same."

"Ie, we'll be alright Otabe-san." Paru.

"I insist, there's no school tomorrow anyway, so take the time to rest." Otabe.

"We are grateful for the offer and praise." Nanashi.

"Thank you for your care and guidance. Arigato gozaimasu!" Peace.

Paru and Nanashi bowed with her.

"It's my pleasure." Otabe gave a small bow in return.

Smiling, the 3 juniors bid her goodnight before returning to their rooms.

The next morning, Black was grumpy due to worry and lack of sleep. They had searched till dawn, but still no sight of Nezumi. In the end, Otabe had ordered them back to the mansion to rest. Deciding a shower would relax her muscles, Black took her time and tried not to worry about Nezumi's condition. She failed of course.

Various worst case scenarios kept playing through her head, even the most ridiculous ones.

"What if she's too hurt to travel?"

"What if she's being held captive?"

"What if they're torturing her?"

"What if she's lost in the werewolf forest?"

"What if she's purposely avoiding us?"

"What if she decided to elope with a werewolf?!"

Black smacked herself at the last one. Of all her ideas, that was by far the most ridiculous. Dating a werewolf is suicidal. Not only do both sides hate each other, but betraying your own kind is punishable by death. Just because the 3 races couldn't kill each other, didn't mean that they were exempted by their own laws.

Otabe had the right to execute any vampire she deemed a traitor and a threat to their community. But that shouldn't be a problem, because there was no reason for Nezumi to fall in love with a werewolf. Besides, she also wasn't the type to elope. Right? Right??

As Black finished dressing, she was grateful for the knock that interrupted her musings.

"Come in."

"Otabe wants to meet us in the receiving chamber." Ookabuki.

"She said to make sure you've eaten first." Kokabuki.

"Why?" Black.

"Something about needing our strength for later." Ookabuki shrugged.

"So you'd best listen to her." Kokabuki.

Black nodded.

"I'll meet you there after I grab a blood pack."

Satisfied with her answer, the Kabuki sisters left her room.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Contrary to her words, Black didn't drink a blood pack. She ended up consuming 4 of them. She was surprised at how hungry she was. But then she remembered, amidst all the panic last night, she hadn't managed to catch dinner, and was too tired to do so after her search. She had just collapsed in bed, forgetting all about her hunger. Now, after using up so much energy, and her body rested enough to function properly, her hunger was back in full force.

Once she was satisfied with her meal, she left the dining hall to meet up with the others in the receiving chamber. On her way there, she was greeted by Peace, Paru and Nanashi. Apparently, they had just woken up. It was already around 10 a.m. and they slept around 3a.m. 7 hours is already considered a long time for vampires.

If 7 hours was the regular length of a human's sleep, then it would be around 3-4 hours for vampires. Which means, 7 hours of sleep for vampires, would be around 13 hours for humans. But who could blame them for sleeping in after all the excitement yesterday? They exchanged greetings. The trio had already heard about the search parties last night, and decided not to bother Black with their questions. They parted ways after wishing Black good luck, and thanking her for saving them yesterday.

When Black arrived, Otabe, Gakuran and the Kabuki sisters were already there. To her surprise, so was Komimi.

"Black, you're right on time." Otabe.

Seeing Black's confused look, Gakuran decided to explain.

"There might be a confrontation between the werewolves and humans later."

"About last night?" Black.

"Seems like it." Gakuran.

"How do you know?" Black.

"Komimi woke up early and did a little investigation." Otabe.

Black looked at Komimi, surprised that she managed to do so in her state.

"I thought you were resting." Black.

Komimi shrugged.

"I woke up earlier than expected, and decided to check about Nezumi."

"I didn't know about her investigating, until she came to see me." Otabe.

"And your limp?" Black.

"My leg still hurts, but the limp is gone. I'll manage." Komimi.

"Thanks to her, we may be able to certify whether Nezumi is still with the werewolves." Otabe.

Komimi nodded.

"It's just a liiiiiiiiittllee something I heard but, it seems that Alpha Takayanagi is livid."

"Knowing her, she's likely to confront the humans about last night." Gakuran.

"Hai, and apparently Captain Takahashi is in the neutral zone now." Komimi.

"So we can expect her to growl at Takahashi soon. Thank you Komimi, you may leave now." Otabe.

"With all due respect, I'd like to follow you into town." Komimi.

Otabe shook her head.

"It's out of the question. You've already pushed yourself this morning. Take the rest of the day to recuperate."

"President, Nezumi is my friend and I was there when we were attacked. Please, let me search for her too." Komimi.

"I understand how you feel, but you are better off helping us when you have completely healed. Rest assured, she is one of us, and will not be left behind." Otabe.

Still reluctant, Komimi bowed and left the room.

"Gakuran, tell the patrol units not to let Komimi off our territory for today. I have a feeling she may try to sneak out."

"Hai."

Gakuran left to have a word with one of the guards outside. When she returned, Otabe continued.

"Today, we will confront them about Nezumi. If there is no news of her, then we can assume that she is still hiding somewhere and recovering. Remember, no fighting unless necessary."

Otabe left with some of her best vampires in tow.

______________________________________________________________________________

A bright light pierced through the fog. The first thing she noticed was the sunlight disturbing her sleep. Groaning at the intrusion, Nezumi turned over to resume sleeping. Something was prickling her side. In fact, she realised that she was lying on a whole lot of prickly stuff.

The next thing she noticed was the strong smell of flowers. It invaded her nose, reminding her of wildflowers. The kind that you would find in the forest.

The forest.


Fire.


Run.


Fall.

Nezumi sat up with a start. And regretted it immediatley. Her whole body ached, and her burns stung. Once the pain was dull enough to ignore, she examined her surroundings. She was in a deep cave, outside was the forest where the sun shone brightly, and she could hear birds chirping. She looked down and found that she was lying in a bed of leaves, and covered in a thick wool blanket.

Then, there were the flowers. Beautiful flowers of every shape, scent and colour. They surrounded the whole area, she could see them outside the cave, and the even surrounded her sleeping area. Who saved her? And why did they take the trouble to lay these flowers everywhere?

Maybe she should ask that person staring at her. Nezumi had noticed the her standing guard by the cave entrance when she woke up. She hoped that the person who saved her would have enough reason not to stop doing so. There was nothing Nezumi could do save scream for help if she decided that Nezumi was better off dead.

"You're awake."

Nezumi rolled her eyes.

"Yes, it's obvious isn't it?"

"You're Nezumi."

"And you're Matsui Jurina."

Jurina's eyebrows rose in surprise.

"You know me?"

"It's what I do." Nezumi.

"Ahhhhh yes, as expected of the vampire infomaster." Jurina.

Nezumi cut straight to the point.

"Why did you save me?"

"Would you kick someone when they're down?" Jurina.

"Yes." Nezumi.

Jurina blinked. Okaaaaaayyyy. She wasn't expecting that.

"Well, I wouldn't."

"So that's why you saved me? Out of the kindness of your heart?" Nezumi.

Jurina grinned.

"Pretty much."

"And why didn't you take me to your den?" Nezumi.

Jurina's grin fell off her face.

"Because there are people there who would kick a vampire when they're down."

"Oh...." Nezumi went quiet.

Jurina changed the subject.

"I heard you need blood to heal right?"

"You gonna give me yours?" Nezumi.

"NO!! Are you kidding me?! Just because I saved you ,doesn't mean that I trust you. " Jurina.

"It was just a suggestion. Sheeesh. At the very least, I'm glad my rescuer isn't stupid."Nezumi.

"Mayb I am. If the others found out, I'm as good as dead." Jurina got closer and handed Nezumi 3 dead squirrels.

"You can't be serious." Nezumi eyed them with disgust. It wasn't the first time she's taken animal blood, but she always avoided them when she could. Human blood tasted so much better. It was like comparing bitter tea to chocolate.

"I can't exactly drag someone here for you to feed on, and I don't know where to get some blood packs. So it's either this, or nothing." Jurina.

"Ugh, fine." Nezumi grudgingly accepted the squirrels and fed on them.

Jurina watched her until Nezumi stopped and wiped her mouth clean.

"So, how was it?"

"At least they're fresh." Nezumi.

"Of course they are! I'm one of the best hunters, you know." Jurina.

"I DO know." Nezumi.

"Oh........so you do." Jurina

"So I assume we're still in the werewolf woods?" Nezumi was feeling better. She was less lethargic, and could already feel her body healing itself.

"Yes, I see you're getting better." Jurina eyed a cut on Nezumi's face closing.

"The squirrels are doing their job. Why didn't you leave me by the vampire border?" Nezumi.

"You mean carry you past werewolf patrols and avoid sightings by other people, until the vampire border just to be torn apart by vampire patrols thinking I attacked you? No way. I figured you could sneak home once you've felt better." Jurina shook her head.

Nezumi considered what she said.

"True. What time is it anyway?"

"A little past 10 in the morning." Jurina.

Nezumi got onto her feet and stretched. She was still injured, but she wasn't too hurt to walk back.

Jurina eyes her worriedly.

"Are you sure you're up to it?"

"I'll be fine." Nezumi.

"Here, take some of these." Jurina picked up a bunch of the flowers and stuffed them into Nezumi's burnt hoodie.

"What are you doing?!" Nezumi had totally forgotten about the flowers.

"They'll hide your scent from other werewolves. I'll guide you to the border, but you're on your own from there."

Nezumi wanted to protest, but realised that she had a better chance of escaping if guided by someone who knew the woods and werewolves well. So she nodded her consent. She stood aside as Jurina erased all evidence of them being there.

When they exited the cave, Jurina sniffed the air and listened carefully.

" There's no one around right now, but we better hurry."

Seeing that Nezumi was limping, Jurina told Nezumi to sit on her back.

"What?" Nezumi looked at her incredulously.

"You're limping. It'll take too long that way, and you'll injure yourself more. Just get on, and it'll be over before you know it."

Without waiting for an answer, Jurina shifted and waited for Nezumi to get on.

Seeing no other choice, Nezumi did as she was asked. She was almost jolted off Jurina's back when she started running. Nezumi hung on for dear life, the trees brushed past them, and the wind  howled loudly in her ears. She actually started having fun, it was exhilirating, being able to run this fast.

In the back of her mind, she wondered why Black was always so sombre if she was able to experience such speed all the time.

Jurina started slowing down, and Nezumi could see the treeline ahead. Jurina stopped a few feet away, and lowered herself so that Nezumi could descend safely. Once Nezumi was on the ground, she shifted back into human form.

"Well, here's the edge of the woods. Be careful near the town, a lot of us like hanging out there around this time." Jurina.

Nezumi nodded,

"I'll take note of that." She looked at Jurina, hesitating.

She really hated doing this. Now she owed Jurina for saving her, and taking her this far.

Jurina looked back at her and tilted her head cutely.

"Hmmmm?"

Much like how a puppy would, Nezumi noted.

"Thanks." Nezumi mumbled.

She hated it, but this werewolf was unexpectedly nice to her, and had even saved her life. Nezumi felt she at least deserved a thanks.

Jurina smiled.

"No problem. Be careful on your way home."

"I will."

As Nezumi left, she looked back to see Jurina waving at her. Nezumi shook her head, then continued her way home.

______________________________________________________________________________

When Rena woke up, it was a beautiful morning. She giggled quietly as she remembered last night's events. It was a dream come true. It truly was the perfect night. When she got up to shower, she noticed a note on her dressing table.

Rena-chan,

I had a great time last night. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be there when you woke up. I had something to do this morning so I left early. But would you meet with me later at 3 p.m? Just wait for me in the living room, I'll pick you up there. Wear something cooling okay? It might get warm later on.


Love,
Jurina.

P.S : If it's still morning when you wake up, don't forget to have breakfast!

P.P.S : And try eating something other than melon-pan!


Rena giggled at Jurina's cuteness. She was also being very sweet, reminding Rena to take care of herself. As Rena showered, she couldn't help but get excited about this afternoon. What was Jurina planning? Rena was sure that whatever it was, she would enjoy it as long as Jurina was with her.

When she entered the dining hall, she was surprised to see the amount of activity there. Everyone seemed really agitated about something. Annin waved her over to a table in the corner. As she ate her breakfast, Annin filled her in on last night's events.

Needless to say, Rena was surprised. To think that the human ace was chasing someone through their woods. And for the patrol team to not be able to locate that mystery person.......

Rena wondered who knew well enough about the flowers to use them as cover. As far as she knew, they only grew on their side of the forests. She was startled out of her musings by Yuko slamming her hands on the table.

"Can you believe her?!"

Rena and Annin looked up, confused.

"Excuse me?" Rena frowned.

"Maeda Atsuko! She had the nerve to intrude our territory and throw her fire everywhere!!" Yuko sat down, exasperated. Her friends let her be, knowing that it was best to let her cool down first.

"There you are!" They looked up to see the Beta approaching.

"Sado!"

They stood from their seats in respect.

Sado nodded in greeting.

"Akane-sama is going to confront the Captain Takahashi soon. She's summoning Yuko, Jurina and Annin."

"And me?" Rena asked.

"She said you could sit this one out, but where's Jurina?" Sado.

"She had something to do this morning. I'm meeting with her in the afternoon." Rena.

"Oh well, I guess we'll have to leave without her." Sado bid goodbye, then left, gesturing for the other 2 to follow.

Yuko and Annin said goodbye, and promised to hang out next time. She smiled back, and waved at them. She sighed when they were out of sight. She had to thank Akane later on, for letting her off. She was glad her friend knew and respected the fact that Rena preferred to avoid fighting.

Don't take this wrong, she would gladly fight when the need arose, but until then, she was a peace loving person. Rena was even a highly ranked werewolf thanks to her skills, but preferred not to show them off.

Since she was done with breakfast, she decided to head into town today. Maybe she could buy some of Jurina's favourite desserts while she was there.

______________________________________________________________________________

Takamina was walking through town with her friends. They had just exited their favourite desserts store and were now window shopping.

"Oi!! Takahashi!" She looked to her right and saw the werewolf Alpha approach with her pack. She spotted Sado, Yuko, Annin, and Mayuge with her.

She frowned. She knew what this was about. Her friends drew protectively around her, but she calmed them down. Takamina strode forward to meet the werewolf, her friends following her lead.

"What do you want?" Takamina.

"You know very well what I want. You're ace has some nerve, chasing someone into our territory, and almost setting our woods on fire." Akane.

"Oh please, you know very well that her flames disappear after contact." Takamina.

"That still does not excuse her trespassing." Akane grabbed Takamina's collar. The werewolves behind her growled menacingly.

The HDS behind Takamina pulled out their guns in reply.

"Ara ara, let's not get too excited."

At the sound of the Kyoto-ben, they turned to see Otabe had arrived with her vampires. Takamina knew that an all out fight would be between the 3 of them would not go well. She had Atsuko, Uruseeyo, Tetsuo, Kanon, Miho , Shaku and Team Horumon with her. And together, they outnumber the vampire and werewolf team who only had 5 on their team. But the fight would still destroy everything around them, and many of them will get hurt.

Otabe pried the 2 apart.

"Otabe, come to join the fun I see." Takamina.

"Mind your own business vamp." Akane.

"But it is my business. You see, the one Atsuko-san chased into your forest last night was one of mine."Otabe.

"Who? We never found her." Akane.

"Are you sure? It was Nezumi." Otabe.

"Nezumi? No, we haven't found a sign of her. We've search our whole territory."

"And you're certain your girls didn't miss anything?" Takamina.

"Of course they didn't! Except for Jurina, all the search unit leaders are with me now. They're some of the most trustworthy werewolves I know!" Akane.

"And the HDS? Do you know anything?" Otabe.

"The last time I saw Nezumi, she fell off a cliff." Atsuko.

"You pushed her off a cliff?!" Gakuran.

The vampires almost lunged at Atsuko but Otabe held them back in time.

Atsuko glared at Gakuran.

"No, I shot her with my flames, then she stumbled off."

They lunged forward again, but was held off by Otabe's warning glare.

"My girls searched that cliff and found no one at the bottom. Though there was an area that indicated where she landed." Akane.

"So you mean that Nezumi is still alive, just missing." Takamina.

Atsuko came forward and bowed at the 2 other leaders.

"I apologise for the trouble I have caused. I wasn't thinking when I chased Nezumi into your territory, and I never meant to fatally harm her."

Takamina stepped in front of her protectively.

"You heard her, it was just a regular street fight that got a little out of hand."

Otabe turned around and walked away.

"We only came to investigate about Nezumi. You know what to do if you find her."

Akane gave one last glare at Takamina before leaving.

"Your girls won't be so lucky the next time they trespass, Takahashi."

Once they were gone, the HDS relaxed. Atsuko turned to her.

"I'm sorry Takamina, I didn't mean for this to happen. I've caused a lot of trouble for you." Atsuko was tearing up.

The Captain hugged her reassuringly.

"It's ok Acchan, they'll find her, and everything will be alright."

"Awwwwww!!"

They broke apart to see the others watching.

"Just kiss already you two!!" Wota.

Takamina turned red, which made Atsuko giggle.

"Whatever! Come on, weren't we going to the arcades?" Takamina looked away and took Atsuko's hand, pulling her forward.

The others followed behind, not letting up on their teasing.

______________________________________________________________________________

Rena was so happy, she was almost skipping home. She had just bought Jurina's favourite  chocolate cake, and would be back in time for their date. Remembering that she should freshen up beforehand, she decided to take a shortcut so she could be home earlier.

Rena entered an alley that would lead her to werewolf territory faster. She stopped when she spotted the figure that turned the corner. Why was Nezumi in such a state? Among other stuff, her clothes were burnt and she was clearly limping. Rena continued walking when she realised that Nezumi hadn't stopped.

As they neared each other, a strong wind blew in from behind Nezumi.

Flowers. Rena smelled the flowers that only grew in the werewolves' forest.

She stopped in shock.

"You...."

Nezumi had stopped a few paces away. She raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"You're the one Maeda Atsuko was chasing in our territory." Rena.

"Are you going to catch me?" Nezumi.

Rena shook her head.

"No, I have no reason to. You may have trespassed yesterday, but I don't have any grudges with you. Plus, we're in the neutral zone now. Everyone has a right to be here."

"Heeeeeeeeehhh... Well then. It was a pleasure meeting you, Matsui Rena." Nezumi continued pass Rena.

Rena continued on her way. A smile lit her face as she remembered her date with Jurina.



- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Tadaaa!!!"

Jurina lifted her hands off Rena's eyes to reveal that a picnic had been set up on their favourite hill.

"Juri-chan! You did all this?" Rena couldn't believe her eyes.

"Uhn! What do you think?" Jurina.

"I love it! And the food looks so good too!" Rena.

"Hehe, I'm glad you like it. Come on, lets sit down and eat." Jurina.

They cuddled on the blanket, feeding each other bits of food.

"Ne Jurina, aren't you tired from last night?" Rena.

"Hmm?" Jurina chewed on the chicken Rena fed her.

"I heard you were helping the others search for the trespasser." Rena.

"Ahhh that, well I only searched the area above the river. So no worries, it wasn't as wide a search as the others had to do." Jurina.

"Heeeeeehhhh, I'm glad. Did you remember to check the cave?" Rena.

Jurina suddenly choked on her food. Rena patted her back as she drank some juice to wash it down.

"Gomen, it must have gone down the wrong pipe." Jurina sheepishly said.

"Mou, you should be more careful." Rena.

"Hai, hai. And I did check the cave, though there was no sign of anyone there." Jurina.

"It's mysterious isn't it? How she managed to escape?" Rena.

"errr...uhn!" Jurina hugged Rena as she leaned closer.

Rena hid her head in Jurina's neck and happily inhaled her scent. Jurina always makes her feel so safe, so warm, so....happy. And she always smelled good too.

Like flowers.



Flowers?



Jurina doesn't usually smell of flowers.......



And of this particular kind too.

Something was nagging at the back of her head.

Rena pulled away to look at Jurina.

"Juri-chan, why do you smell like flowers?"

"Eh, probably because I picked some for you. They're right there on the blanket, see?" Jurina.

"Oh! You're right! Silly me." Rena.

Jurina laughed and kissed her.

Blushing, Rena playfully pushed her away.

As they cuddled, Rena couldn't help but stare at the flowers. That nagging feeling wouldn't leave her.

Then, it clicked.

Isn't this the same smell that was on Nezumi?

The one that masked her scent from the werewolves?

And didn't she notice the exact same flowers earlier, stuffed into Nezumi's hoodie?

Rena glanced sideways at Jurina.

Jurina lived here and would be familiar with the vegetation in the area. So she would know about  using the flowers to hide your scent.

And wasn't she also part of the search yesterday? What if the reason they couldn't find Nezumi was because one of them was secretly helping her?

And this morning. Besides planning the picnic, could Jurina have helped Nezumi escape?

Was Jurina a traitor?

But she would never betray them.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Would she?

Rena mentally shook herself.

"No." She thought.

"It can't be true." She peeked at Jurina.

"Could it?"

[mo-chan]

why Jurina helped Nezumi ? 
and Rena now think that Jurina is a traitor 
What is going to happen 
update soon please 

[kahem]

Oh maybe some Center/Nezumi hehe~
Atsumina are cute~ lol

[kiruchi]

Rena having some doubts!!! 
Don't worry... Jurina's was just helping Mayu hide... then escape. Oh well...
I hope Jurina wouldn't be revealed as a traitor... or else Mayu should do something to help her back.
Anyway.... I like that Jurina-Mayu scene.... but I'm still supporting NezumiBlack and JurinaRena pairing.
Update soon!!!

[Crossing Crossroads]

Cue my "Uwaaagghaa!!" JURINA AND MAYU. 3 TOP CONFRONTATION. RENA.

Okay, to be honest, Rena was cute, skipping home. LOLOL.

BUT THAT MOMENT. I sensed JuriMayu that was not JuriMayu.

When I saw the small AtsuMina moment:

"Awwwwww!!"

They broke apart to see the others watching.

"Just kiss already you two!!" Wota.

It strongly reminded me of a gif I saw on tumblr where Yuko is putting two hands together in a kissing motion and there are captions saying, "NOW KISS!!!" XDD

The 3 TOP confrontation was interesting.

Lastly, Rena. Again. She smaht. She very smaht. LOL. For some reason, I would love it if Rena knew what Jurina did~ DRAMAAAA

Have you watched the skit on Shukan AKB where Kumi was dressed as a boy (no short hair, but it was just as great. ) and Haruu/Shimada Haruka was the other girl in the classroom?~ AGH. I watched that at least 5 times last night.

Hello! (^ ^)/
I have been reading your fic from the start, but it's until now that I decide to get out of the darkness and give you my comment. Sorry about that but I'm not quite a commentator, I'm just a silent reader and English is not my first language (^_^;)
But forget about my excuses, I'm here today, right? 

Let's talk about your fic, ne ~
Well, your fic really impressed me with the world where humans, vampires and werewolves are living together but separately. Each community has their own rules and stuff. And whoa, it's definitely cool.
Even though I don't understand your choice of characters, like who is human, who is vampire and who is werewolf, especially your choices of Alpha and Beta and some other characters as well (^__^;) But don't worry, as long as your fic is still this great, I'm enjoy reading it

Ahhh, I'm stuck here Like I said, I really don't know how to comment for people, that's why I stay silent most of the time (-__-) Well, let's continue with some of my favorites scene, ya?
First is, the scene in which Jurina running and playing with Akane in their wolf form in the woods. You don't know how I was when I read that scene. I totally fangirl-ed It's so cuteeeeee I'm a wolf-lover, and I'm also a Jurina-biased, that's why imagining Jurina in the form of a wolf running and playing with Akane (like two puppies? ) really made me fangirl  
Another scene I do really like is the eyes-contest (yeah, I call it like that ) between Kanon and Komimi in their fight Actually I ship KuuminxYuria but KuuminxNon is also ok (^__^) They are all adorable <3 Reading this scene made me think maybe in the future, we'll have a different-race love story? And this will definitely lead to something else which I thought is not so happy (>__>) I know it has to happen but I do hope you just don't make it too tragical, my heart can't handle it (>__>)
I also thank you for letting Komimi appear in your fic (^__^)v Her ability is quite something, right? And Komimi is a vampire, so cooooool <3 (As you can see, Kuumin is also one of my biases )
And I love the fact that Takamina is the Captain and Acchan is the Ace of HDS Yay, my AtsuMina <3 Just remind you that now Takamina has become General You should promote her as well (just kidding )
Next is the WMatsui scene I love it Love it love it love it It's so sweet, so lovely and so cute The part when Rena was sleeping while riding on Jurina's back Kyah ~~~ *fangirl-ing*

Enough with my fangirl, now let's talk about your lastest update 
I'm not really keen on MaYuki, but seeing Black worried this much about Nezumi is so... (>____>) Nezumi, you baka (>_____>) Next time, be more careful! Oh I think there won't be any next time, Black just don't let you out of her hand again 
And Jurina, why are you so cute and so nice?  You are too naive compare to Nezumi, you know?  I guess it can't be help, you are just a 15-years-old werewolf  (She is 15 years old in your fic, right kuronekosan?  )
Oh and I know it, the moment Jurina decided to save Nezumi, I know Rena will find out (>_____>) Rena, please don't doubt Jurina, she is not a traitor. She's just too kind!!! (>___>) kuronekosan, I beg you, please don't make things too tragical, you know my heart... ;______;

OK, that's all about me being fangirl and overreacting 
Thank you for your hard work and please do continue your update, I'm waiting for you (^__^)
Now I'll comeback to my silent-mode, but don't forget you have a fangirl here, ok?
Have a nice day!
