The Eighth Hour.

"There, that's done," the Blonde Haired Girl said as she placed Daisuke Ryouta's name tag ontop of his body, next to Airi Kasumi who had also been identified.

"Good, now everyone come over here, I don't want to be by myself," the Long, Pink Haired Girl
whimpered as she hid behind a corner, refusing even to take one look at the corpses.

"You know you could come over here and pay your respects, instead of being a scardy cat," the Gray
Haired Boy smirked, but it was soon wiped off his face by a strong slap from the Blue Haired Girl.

"Quit being an asshole, this isn't the time for your childish jokes and games," she glared angrily.

"Sorry, I was just kidding," the Gray Haired Boy apologized, rubbing his face where it hurt.

"I-It's okay," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said as she waited for everyone to walk over to her.

"What are we dealing with? Eight of us are gone. Seven dead, one escaped. There's only twelve of us
left," the Black Haired Boy said.

"To find out what we're dealing with, we need to figure out who the killer is," the Silver Haired Girl said as she thought carefully.

"Well yeah, but that's not so easy, otherwise we'd be done by now," the Gray Haired Boy said.

"He's right you know, this all started at 6:00 PM, it's passed 1 in the morning now," the Blonde Haired
Girl said.

Everyone looked up at the school clock and sighed. "It's late, I need to sleep," the Blonde Haired Girl
and the Long, Pink Haired Girl whined in unison.

"We can try that after I explain who could have killed each person," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"You know who did it? Why didn't you say so to begin with?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

"No, I don't know who did it, but if we can determine who didn't do it, it'll help us narrow it down to who it could be," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"Good idea, let's get to work," the Black Haired Boy said as they discussed who could have killed each person.

"First, Satomi Naoko..  Eighteen total suspects, the only people I know it couldn't be is Haruki Rokurou, and myself," the Silver Haired Girl explained.

Everyone else was uneasy about being accused of murder just for leaving the meeting, but understood
why they were being accused.

"Second, Haruki Rokurou.. I have ten suspects for that murder. All of us here are innocent so there's no need for any of you to worry about that," the Silver Haired Girl explained.

"How can there be ten suspects if we're all innocent? There's only twelve of us left," the Gray Haired Boy asked, confused.

"I counted those who have also died, who could have killed Haruki, but I suppose since more murders
have taken place since then, I can shrink the suspect pool down to five," the Silver Haired Girl explained.

"That's better, who are they?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

The Silver Haired Girl picked up Haruki Rokurou's identification paper and wrote the names of the five suspects; The Boy Wearing Goggles, The Red Haired Boy, The Purple Haired Girl, The Silver Haired Boy, and the Blue Haired Boy. She then showed the group the paper with the five names before placing it back down on Haruki's body.

"Who's next?" the Blonde Haired Girl asked.

"Yumi Sachiko," the Silver Haired Girl replied. "Originally, I had 9 suspects for her murder, but that's
been shrunk down to five also.. Ah, and it's the same five as before, one of them is definitely committing these murders," she finished.

"We'll have to watch them very carefully," the Black Haired Boy said. The rest of them nodded.

"Then who?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

"Ryouichi Ryouta and Hina Tsubasa, I suspected five at first, but now I suspect only three," the Silver
Haired Girl said, as she wrote down the names on their identification papers of the three people she
suspected; The Boy Wearing Goggles, The Red Haired Boy, and The Silver Haired Boy.

"Only three of them.. Wow, that narrows it down by a lot," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said.

"Yeah, and next is Yuudai Kohaku, but we already know that Ayako Kiyoko killed him, and already escaped from the school," the Blonde Haired Girl said.

"That just leaves Airi Kasumi and Daisuke Ryouta, with five suspects," the Silver Haired Girl said as she wrote down the names of the suspects on their identification papers; The Red Haired Boy, The Red Haired Girl, The Purple Haired Girl, The Blue Haired Boy, and The Silver Haired Boy.

"So there's six of us that could be the murderer, and six of us that aren't suspected at all?" the Blue
Haired Girl asked.

The Silver Haired Girl nodded. "We need to be extremely careful around those we've suspected, got it?"

They all nodded.

"Good, let's go warn everyone what we've discovered, and avoid anyone who we've suspected," the
Silver Haired Girl said.

As the group began to leave the school's entrance in search of the other Student Council members, a
deafening bang interrupted them.

"What the hell was that?!" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"It sounded like a gun.. We need to find out what happened but be careful," the Silver Haired Girl said
cautiously.

"We know what happened, there's only one person we've seen with a gun, and it's that ass-" the Gray
Haired Boy said before being smacked again and nearly knocked over.

"I don't want to hear you talk badly about him again," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"He has a point.. He's the only one we've seen with a gun, why should we suspect anyone else?" the
Black Haired Boy asked.

"I just don't think he'd do something like this," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"He's been a suspect in every murder except Yuudai's, why would you say he's innocent now?" the
Blonde Haired Girl asked.

The Silver Haired Girl sighed and ignored the question, walking towards the source of the noise.

The five of them followed her closely, and cautiously to the source of the noise where they found the
Purple Haired Girl standing over the lifeless body of Jiro Ryo; the Boy wearing Goggles.

The Long, Pink Haired Girl let out an ear peircing scream, "There's so much blood!" she screamed as she ran off in the other direction.

"No! What are you doing?! Come back here!" the Blue Haired Girl shouted as she ran after the Long,
Pink Haired Girl to be sure she's safe.

The Blonde Haired Girl turned to follow them, but was held back by the Silver Haired Girl. "We need to stick together, don't go following them, they'll be fine," she said. The Blonde Haired Girl nodded, and turned back towards the Purple Haired Girl. "What happened to him?"

"I heard a noise and found him here, I had that classroom barricaded, and came out to see what
happened," the Purple Haired Girl said.

"If you heard a gunshot that close, why would you come outside?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"The bullet went through him, and through the door behind him, I could peek outside into the hallway from the hole in the door, and I saw that the shooter was gone, but I don't know who it was.. They had a hood on and I couldn't see their face, I don't even know if it was a boy or girl," the Purple Haired Girl said.

"Come with us, we'll keep you safe, we need to warn everyone else what happened," the Silver Haired Girl said inviting the Purple Haired Girl to their group.

"Wait, isn't she.." the Gray Haired Boy started, but was elbowed in the stomach by the Silver Haired Girl.

"Sure, I'll join you, it's better than being by myself knowing there's a maniac running around with a
gun," the Purple Haired Girl said.

"Good, come with me, help me take Jiro's body to the entrance for ID," the Silver Haired Girl said.

The Purple Haired Girl nodded.

"I'm coming with you," the Black Haired Boy said, as he helped the two girls carry Jiro Ryo's body to the main entrance.

"Looks like we're going to have to find the others on our own, and track down those two that ran off
while we're at it," the Gray Haired Boy said.

The Blonde Haired Girl nodded, "Let's go before something bad happens," she said, as the two of them went searching for the four missing people, and the other two that left their group.

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

"Easy does it," the Black Haired Boy said as he helped the Purple Haired Girl and Silver Haired Girl set down the body of Jiro Ryo and proceeded to identify him.

"So you're sure you didn't see anything important on your way to that classroom before you barricaded
yourself inside?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"Yes, I'm sure, and before you ask, once I was inside, the only thing I heard was that gun fire, and Jiro
hitting the ground.. Then the shooter ran off down the hall, I'm not sure where they were going," she answered.

"Wait, you said 'they'.. There was more than one?" the Silver Haired Girl asked worried.

"No, they as in.. I don't know if it was a boy or girl, they were wearing a hoodie with the hood up,
remember?" the Purple Haired Girl reminded them.

"Oh, right, you did say that," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"So, we should probably go looking for everyone now, right?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"Yeah, we should, let's go.. You're still coming with us, right?" the Silver Haired Girl said as she led them to look for other people.

"I'll help look, but I think it will be best if I go on my own," the Purple Haired Girl said as she walked off in the other direction.

"Hey! Stick with us, you shouldn't be going alone! It isn't safe!" the Black Haired Boy shouted, but she was already gone.

"Oh well, she'll take care of herself, she did before.. Don't worry," the Silver Haired Girl said as the two of them went searching the school for their other classmates.

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

"Have you calmed down yet?" the Blue Haired Girl said as she stood infront of the door of the
classroom, blocking the exit.

The Long, Pink Haired Girl sighed and nodded.

"So you promise you're not going to freak out, run off and do something stupid? You're going to
stay by my side until we get back to the rest of the group?" the Blue Haired Girl asked, slowly and
carefully to make sure she was making herself clear.

"I promise, we'll stick together," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said.

"Good, then let's go," she said as she turned around, opened the door and walked out of the room, bumping into the Blonde Haired Girl. They both screamed, causing the Long, Pink Haired Girl to jump.

"Oh, it's you two.. You scared me," the Blonde Haired Girl said with a laugh. "What's going on?"

"I just got her to calm down, and now we were going to look for you all, what's up?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

The Long, Pink Haired Girl stood behind the Blue Haired Girl and greeted the Blonde Haired Girl with a smile.

"I came looking for you two and anyone else that was missing," the Blonde Haired Girl said, "Do you two want to join me now?"

"Sure, we'll come along, lead the way," the Blue Haired Girl said as she and the Long, Pink Haired Girl followed the Blonde Haired Girl in her search for the rest of the Student Council members.

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

The Red Haired Boy strained to open his eyes as he rolled from his side to his back so he could sit up.
"My head is killing me," he said as he rested against one of the walls in the room he was trapped in. "My hands are tied together..?" he said as he looked down and noticed his hands had been tied together infront of him.
He moved his arms over to the right and tucked his right hand into his pocket and grabbed a pocket knife he had stashed earlier. He flicked it open and sliced the ropes off of his wrists. He then closed it, and returned it into his pocket before standing up and turning the doorknob to crack
it open a bit.
"I have to be careful about what I do around here, I don't have my gun on me, who ever
knocked me out has it.. Anyone crazy enough to do that isn't afraid to kill me," he said to himself as he
peeked through the crack in the door, but no one was around. He pushed the door open and walked into the hallway before being stopped by the Gray Haired Boy and the Red Haired Girl.

"Hi there, what were you doing in that room?" the Red Haired Girl asked.

The Red Haired Boy took a step back, eyeing them both cautiously.

"That's a nasty shiner, what happened to you?" the Gray Haired Boy laughed, pointing out the Red
Haired Boy's black eye.

The Red Haired Boy covered the bruise with his long hair and frowned embarrased, but still refused to
answer.

"Well? What happened?" the Gray Haired Boy asked again.

"Someone followed me as I was leaving the group and led me to this room.. then they knocked me out,
tied me up and took my gun.. I've been knocked out in that room for almost an hour," he explained.

"Someone got the drop on you, and they have your gun? If you've been knocked out for an hour, you
couldn't have killed Jiro.." the Gray Haired Boy said.

"Jiro's dead now too?!" the Red Haired Boy asked.

"Yeah, he was killed by your gun but if you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about," the Gray Haired Boy smiled, but was then was stuck deeply in the side by a knife.

The Gray Haired Boy fell speechless to the ground looking up at the Red Haired Girl who had just
stabbed him fatally.

He reached up and grabbed a hold of the bottom of her shirt, trying to pull himself back up to fight, but he fell back to the ground, dead.

"Why.. Did you just kill Hayate infront of me? I still have my knife with me, I can kill you if I wanted to," the Red Haired Boy said angrily.

"Yuuma knew too much, he had to die, you're not supposed to be innocent, remember? But I'm not the
one that knocked you out," the Red Haired Girl explained.

"Obviously," the Red Haired Boy smirked, cockily.

"Watch your mouth, you're not fighting back because you're still dizzy and you can barely stand on your own two feet, you don't stand a chance," the Red Haired Girl said. "I could kill you, but I won't.. Just follow these instructions," she demanded.

"... I should listen to you, why?" the Red Haired Boy asked.

"The Leader still wants you alive, you being alive keeps the rest of the group off of our trail," the Red
Haired Girl said. "I don't have a use for you, but I can't go rogue now, The Leader has your gun," she
explained.

"You insist on saying 'The Leader', the person that took my gun was a male, he made a mistake in keeping me alive," the Red Haired Boy growled.

"How are you certain the one that knocked you out and took your gun was our leader?" the Red Haired
Girl asked.

"There's more than two of you psychos running around? Son of a bitch," the Red Haired Boy groaned.

"You're trying my patience, I said follow these instructions, or you'll end up like Yuuma here," the Red Haired Girl said with a menacing glare.

"Whatever, tell me what I need to do, so I can go and you'll leave me alone," the Red Haired Boy said.

"Simple, switch knives with me," the Red Haired Girl said. "Mine will be clean, and yours will be covered in Hayate Yuuma's blood.. They already suspect you, so you won't be able to afford to accuse me of murder, expecially with your eye looking like that, and you being missing for so long, they'll just suspect you and Hayate got in a fight and you killed him. They'd have no reason to suspect me of anything," she finished.

He didn't respond. He didn't have to, he knew she was right. He sighed and handed her his pocket knife.

She smiled and took it gladly, tucking it into her pocket. She then handed her the bloody knife and
glared. "You can't clean this off either.. If I even suspect that you did, you that you replaced it with
another knife, I'll ask to see it when you're infront of everyone, bringing us both down," the Red Haired Girl laughed as she walked away.

"That girl is rediculous," the Red Haired Boy growled and gritted his teeth. He looked down at the bloody knife and put it into his pocket while looking down at Hayate Yuuma's corpse. "Damnit!" he shouted as he punched a hole in the wall next to him. "I'm sorry Hayate, I'll get her back for this, I promise you," he said as he left dizzily in the other direction.

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

"They said it was a bad idea to split the group up to search for people, ha!" the Purple Haired Girl
whispered to herself as she peeked around the corner. "Don't sweat it kid, I have your back.. I saw everything, now we can take her down, and figure out whoever the killer is, but first I need help getting Hayate back to the main entrance so we can ID him for the police," she finished as she turned around, eye level the barrel of a gun pointed at her face.

"Tough luck, Kokoro Yoshida," the hooded male on the other end of the gun said, coldly.

"Fuck.. It's really over," she sighed, as a tear ran down her face. The first real emotion she'd ever shown. "I'm so sorry," she apologized to Hayate, and everyone else, as the hooded male that stood infront of her fired the gun, killing her instantly, splashing her blood on the surrounding walls and the floor, leaving the echo of the gun shot and her final scream running through the halls of the school haunting the remaining student council members who have yet to be hunted down by the killing team.
