The Ninth Hour

"I heard another gun shot," the Black Haired Boy said, flinching from the deafening boom.

"I did too, and a scream.. It sounded like Kokoro," the Silver Haired Girl said worriedly

"Should we check it out, or wait?" the Black Haired Boy asked, as they stuck close to the wall with their backs against it, as the whispered to eachother to devise a plan of action.

"If we check it out now and run into the shooter, we're both dead.. But if we wait and stay safe, more of our friends are going to die.. Whatever we decide to do, someone is going to get shot, it's inevitable," she said.

"Great, just great," the Black Haired Boy sighed, exhausted. "Let's just go to the cafeteria first, then we can figure out what we're doing from there."

"That's not a good idea anymore, there is no safe zone when someone's running around the school with a gun shooting everyone in sight," the Silver Haired Girl said. "We can't rely on it anymore."

"We have supplies there, we need them to survive," the Black Haired Boy said, urgently.

The Silver Haired Girl sighed. "Fine, we'll go get them, but then we need to hurry and find somewhere else to hide until things start to die down, before we do anything else," she answered.

The two of them stealthily made their way into the cafeteria, luckily not coming in contact with anyone.

"We made it safely, that's a relief," the Black Haired Boy said as he looked around for supplies. "We have a problem, someone made off with the First-Aid and the syringes," he said, as he tucked a knife into his back pocket for protection.

"Yeah, I noticed," she said as she picked up a knife aswell.

"What are we going to do now?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"Now, we're going to find a safe place to hide so we can rest a bit," the Silver Haired Girl said, tiredly.

The Black Haired Boy nodded as they turned and left the cafeteria, but the door way was blocked by someone in a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up.

The Black Haired Boy and Silver Haired Girl both reached for their knives, but a female voice spoke from underneath the hood of the black sweatshirt. "Stop.. Don't hurt me.. I'm done with all of this," she said.

The Black Haired Boy and Silver Haired Girl looked at eachother in disbelief and back to the girl with the hooded sweatshirt.

The girl took off her hood and revealed herself to them.

"You... You did all this?!" the Black Haired Boy shouted.

"We trusted you, why would you kill all of our friends?" the Silver Haired Girl asked.

"I didn't.. I only killed one person, and I was put up to it.. They said I would be able to escape as soon as it was done, but Ayoko took the Security Clearance Card when it supposed to be for me," the Blonde Haired Girl said in short breaths as she cried and confessed.

"Who did you kill, and who put you up to it? Who's doing all of this?" the Black Haired Boy demanded.

"How many more of you are there?" the Silver Haired Girl asked.

"I don't know any others, but 'The Leader' said there are many more than just me in the group, but none of us know who they are except for 'The Leader'.. We don't have the information, we were all texted instructions individually from 'The Leader', none of us were ever contacted in person, I
don't know who it is," the Blonde Haired Girl cried.

"So you don't know anything at all? Why would someone create a group to kill their own friends..?" the Silver Haired Girl wondered.

"Which deaths are you responsible for?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"Only one.. 'The Leader' said that in order to get everything going, there would need to be one efficient death that everyone found at once so no one could escape blame.. 'The Leader' gave us the target, I came up with the idea to use a sedative to knock the target out, and with my skills as the Nurse's Assistant it was easy to do..." she took a deep breath to calm down, before she spoke again. "I, Mai Akiyama,  confess to the murder of Satomi Naoko," the Blonde Haired Girl said between sobs.

All of a sudden an air vent panel was moved, and the Red Haired Boy's stolen gun pointed straight down at the Blonde Haired Girl, and shot her in the head, killing her instantly. The gun was pulled back into the ceiling and the panel was put back in place.

The Black Haired Boy and Silver Haired Girl ran to cover and shielded themselves under a cafeteria table.

"I think that was 'The Leader' just now," the Black Haired Boy said, panting heavily.

"Yeah, I saw the same hooded sweatshirt that Mai was wearing," the Silver Haired Girl said, looking over at the Blonde Haired Girl who lie dead on the cafeteria floor.

"You were right, this isn't a safe zone anymore, this entire school is a war zone," the Black Haired Boy said.

The Silver Haired Girl nodded as she took out a pen and a sheet of paper from her pocket and began to write; Mai Akiyama, shot by 'The Leader', more information on who that is will become apparent during your investigation. Confessed to the murder of Satomi Naoko.

"Is that for the police?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"Yeah.. I know they could just look at the security footage to see what all has happened here, but I feel compelled to help," the Silver Haired Girl shook as she creeped out from under the table and tucked the paper into Mai's pocket and then quickly darted back underneath the table.

"I understand.. We need to figure out a way to get that 'Leader' asshole out of the air vents, so we can walk around freely without getting shot on top of the head," the Black Haired Boy said.

"That sounds like something Hayate would say," the Silver Haired Girl smiled. "I hope he's okay, I've been mean to him today," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"Don't worry about being mean, you've been stressed out, we're all exhausted and on edge, hopefully he is okay," the Black Haired Boy said.

The Silver Haired Girl nodded. "We'll wait under here until someone comes by that isn't involved with all of this."

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

Panting, the Red Haired Boy finally stopped running from the gunshot that killed Kokoro Yoshida when he was nearby. "It should be safe to rest by now," he said in short breaths as he rested against a wall.
He slid down the wall and sat on the ground and tried to catch his breath but was interrupted by yelling from inside the room he was leaning against.He stood up and walked over to the door and opened it.

The Long, Pink Haired Girl and the Blue Haired Girl were both tied up with gauze bandages, with their mouths taped shut. As soon as they saw him they began to panic more and squirm around.

He ran over to them and quickly yanked off the tape and proceeded to untie them both. "Be quiet before someone finds us here," he said in a hushed tone.

"Ow, that hurt!" the Long, Pink Haired Girl said, in tears.

"Why are you letting us go after you went through the trouble of putting us here?" the Blue Haired Girl asked. "And what did you do with Mai?!" she shouted.

"First, I said be quiet, before someone finds us here," the Red Haired Boy glared as he shut the door and slid a storage drawer infront of the door to barricade it from intruders so he could get their full story. "Now, what's the problem?" he asked as he sat on a desk in the room.

The two girls stood up and began talking at the same time.

The Red Haired Boy ignored them both until they were done.

"Fascinating. Start over, but only one of you talk at once, so I can understand this time," the Red Haired Boy said.

The two girls sighed.

"First, we heard a gunshot and ran to it.. We found Jiro dead, with Kokoro standing over him," the Blue Haired Girl said.

"I heard about Jiro from Hayate," he said then cringed remembering he wasn't supposed to talk about Hayate or what happened earlier. Did Kokoro kill Jiro?" the Red Haired Boy asked.

"She said she didn't, she said she had barricaded herself in a classroom when she heard him get shot, she saw the shooter through the hole in the door but only saw a black hooded sweatshirt," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said in one breath.

"That's why you thought it was me? Well, just for the record, I don't have a black hooded sweatshirt, and I don't have my gun either," he explained.

"Someone took your gun?!" the two girls both shrieked.

"Yeah, that's where this came from," he said as he pointed at his black eye. "Got in a little fight.. Which gives me an alibi, sadly," the Red Haired Boy said.

"How would getting in a fight give you an alibi? Maybe you got in a fight with Jiro!" the Long, Pink Haired Girl said.

"No, I fought that asshole with the hooded sweatshirt, he took my gun too.. I have an alibi because I've been knocked out for the passed hour," he said, regretting to admit it.

"Oh.. Yeah, that sucks," the Blue Haired Girl said.

The Red Haired Boy sighed. "Anyway, continue the story?"

"Where were we? Oh yeah, Kokoro saw the guy that kicked your ass," the Blue Haired Girl giggled.

The Red Haired Boy glared at her, angrily.

"When I saw Jiro, I ran off," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said.

"I'm guessing like usual, you ran after her?" the Red Haired Boy asked.

The Blue Haired Girl nodded. "Then, we found Mai and we were all going to search for everyone else, but we ran into the guy that we thought was you," she said.

"Now we're getting somewhere, then what happened?" the Red Haired Boy asked, as he focused intensely on this part of the story.

"He made us all come into this room, he had a gun so I couldn't run, I was frozen stiff," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said.

The Red Haired Boy glanced towards the floor in grief and anger, because he felt responsible since the gun that was used to control them and kill his other friends was his.

"Then that guy tied the two of us up, and taped our mouths, but he didn't do that to Mai," the Blue Haired Girl said.

"He spoke to her, they talked a little bit, and said some weird things I didn't understand," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said.

"What did they say?" the Red Haired Boy asked.

"I don't remember," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said apologetically.

"He said, 'I am 'The Leader', Mai. It's time for you to confess, go to the cafeteria and tell the first people you find'," the Blue Haired Girl quoted.

"... It's him.. The same person that she's working for... How many people does he have under control?" the Red Haired Boy thought to himself, then smirked. "She bluffed.. 'The Leader' is a guy after all.. and he does have my gun.. I should have just killed him then.. Damnit," he thought to himself.

"Same person that she's working for?" the Long, Pink Haired Girl repeated.

"I can't talk about it, don't ask about it again, unless you want to get all three of us killed," the Red Haired Boy said, warning them to mind their on business.

The two girls nodded.

"Glad that we could come to an agreement, let's go," the Red Haired Boy said, leading the two girls out of the room, as they followed him down the hall.

"Well, hello there," the Red Haired Girl said, greeting the three of them as they turned the corner.

"Hey," the Red Haired Boy said calmly, trying not to cause a scene.

"Hey! It feels like I haven't seen you in forever," the Blue Haired Girl said.

The Long Pink Haired Girl smiled and nodded, waving.

The Red Haired Girl smiled in aknowledgement, then turned to the Red Haired Boy. "Have you told anyone else what happened to your eye?" the Red Haired Girl asked.

"Yeah, he told us everything! He got in a fight with the guy that's killing everyone," the Long, Pink Haired Girl blurted out.

The Red Haired Boy's eyes widened.

"Did he now?" the Red Haired Girl asked, walking towards him, as she whispered in a hushed tone, so the other two wouldn't even notice her speak.

"Relax, the deal was to not rat me for killing Hayate, you're still safe, for now. Blink if you understand," she commanded him.

The Red Haired Boy blinked visibly.

The Red Haired Girl smiled. "Can I join the three of you?"

"Sure, come with us, we're looking for everyone else," the Blue Haired Girl said as she continued
walking, looking for the rest of the group.

The Long, Pink Haired followed the Blue Haired Girl with the Red Haired Boy and Red Haired Girl walking side by side eyeing eachother carefully.

The Red Haired Boy glared angrily, as he watched the Red Haired Girl closely, to be sure she didn't do anything to harm him or the two girls that she's claimed as unknowing hostages.

The Red Haired Girl smiled back, cockily, as she watched him to make sure he didn't make any moves to prevent any action she planned to take.

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.

The Seventh Hour.

The Silver Haired Girl set Haruki down, next to the other bodies near the main entrance, using the moonlight that shined through the windows as her guide to be sure he was put down safely.
"I'm sorry this happened to all of you, I promise we'll get who ever is responsible for putting you through this," she said, as she took out a sheet of paper and wrote down Haruki's full name to identify him. She then put down the piece of paper that identified him as Haruki Rokurou next to him, and searched his body for the notes that he had been taking in the security room, but she didn't find anything."I guess the killer really did take the notes," she thought to herself. "This should be easy, if they were stupid enough to hold on to it.." She then stood up and heard loud footsteps rushing towards where she was, and they were growing louder.
"I can't tell who that is in the dark, it's not safe to just be sticking around, I have to get out of here and get to the cafeteria, fast," she thought to herself as she ran in the opposite direction, taking the long way to the cafeteria. The footsteps finally died down and ended with a loud metallic slam of the main entrance doors.
"Did someone just escape... Or did someone else come in? I can't tell in the dark.." she said to herself. Right after that, the lights snapped on, making a crackily noise as the fluorescent lights flickered shyly before staying still.
"At least I can see now,  and no one's over there so I guess someone did escape.. That'll make things easier," she said as she made her way back to the cafeteria, where she found the Boy wearing Sunglasses standing in the middle of the cafeteria.

"Hey, what are you doing here alone, where is every one else?" she asked.

"They all went down to the basement so they could turn the lights back on," he replied.

"Okay, then why are you here..?" she asked him.

"I was told to, the group decided it would be best if I stayed here and watched after the supplies for everyone," he answered, explaining why he was there.

"Really? Who's idea was that?" she asked, as she would grow suspicious of whoever thought splitting the group up would be a good idea.

"I-I don't actually remember, sorry," he stuttered.

"Well, that's fine then, I guess I'll just let you stay here," she said as she walked away thinking to herself, "He seemed nervous.. He's either protecting someone, or he's up to something... Maybe he's being threatened not to talk? It's too soon to tell," she thought to herself as she walked towards the basement.
As she approached the steps leading to the basement, she saw the Black Haired Boy and Gray Haired Boy exiting the basement while carrying a body.

"W-Who is that?" she asked as she watched them carry the body of the Purple Haired Boy in silence to the main entrance to be identified.

"Yuudai Kohaku, you too..?" she thought to herself, trying to shake off that all of her closest friends are dying around her as she walked into the basement to see everyone and ask what happened.

The Long, Pink Haired Girl was hysterical, crying and yelling, while the Blue Haired Girl was trying to keep her calm.

Everyone else was huddled around the circuit breaker, looking at what seemed to be another note.

"What's wrong with her?" the Silver Haired Girl asked.

"She saw him get killed," the Blue Haired Girl answered with a whisper, so she wouldn't upset the Long, Pink Haired Girl again.

The Long, Pink Haired Girl wiped tears out of her eyes and stared at the ground.

"I'm sorry you had to see that," the Silver Haired Girl said, sympathetically. "Could you tell me what happened, if you're comfortable talking about it?"

The Long, Pink Haired Girl went on to explain that she and the Purple Haired Boy went down to the basement to turn on the lights, then the Brown Haired Girl, Ayako Kiyoko ran out of the basement, and smashed the Purple Haired Boy in the head with a metal baseball bat and ran towards the main entrance. The Silver Haired Girl looked over at the floor behind them and saw a bloody metal baseball bat with small tuffs of purple hair following her story.

"Yeah, I think I saw her, or at least I heard her," the Silver Haired Girl said, and then told them that she had heard footsteps running towards where she was when she was setting Haruki down at the main entrance, and once she was at a safe distance from the door, she heard the doors slam.

"So, she did escape, do you think she went to get help?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

"I honestly doubt it, if Ayako was out of her mind enough to do what she did to Yuudai, I doubt she's in the right state of mind to be thinking about us," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"Do you think she killed Hina too, so she could pretend freak out and break away from us so she could escape?" the Black Haired Boy asked, as he and the Gray Haired Boy entered the basement again.

"I don't think so, she wouldn't gain anything by killing Ryouichi because they weren't very close, so most likely she would have avoided harming Hina while she and Ryouichi were near eachother.. Plus they shared the same type of wounds that Haruki had, and I don't think Ayako could get to Haruki and overpower him by herself.. I think Yuudai dying was just an unfortunate case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, if he wasn't there, when Ayako was trying to escape, I don't think he'd have been killed."

"He could have lived, but he went in the dark, just to turn the lights back on for all of us and got killed for it.. I guess Yuudai was pretty brave after all," the Gray Haired Boy said.

They nodded, then turned to the group looking at the note the rest of the group had. "What's that?" the Silver Haired Girl asked.

The Boy wearing Goggles and the Blonde Haired Girl showed her a dusty piece of paper that said in blood; "Next time, don't split up."

"It also had this by it," the Blonde Haired Girl said, showing Yumi Sachiko's blue hair bow.

"... A taunt, her killer is cocky," the Silver Haired Girl thought to herself. "Or maybe it was the other killer..?" her thoughts accidently became audible, and everyone around her looked stunned.

"There's two killers?!" the Long, Pink Haired Girl screeched.

"It's possible; other than Yuudai, which we've declared as an accident, there's been two types of murders.." the Silver Haired Girl answered.

"The gorey ones," the Boy wearing Goggles said, mentioning the bloody murders of Haruki Rokurou, Ryouichi Ryouta, and Hina Tsubasa.

"Right, and the other type involves the syringes with some type of injection, like Mrs. Naoko.. and possibly Yumi Sachiko, too, right?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

The Silver Haired Girl nodded.

"I thought the Vampire killed Yumi?" the Long, Pink Haired Girl asked.

"No.. I have reason to believe that he's being framed," the Silver Haired Girl replied.

"I knew it!" the Boy wearing Goggles yelled happily, in celebration that his cousin was believed to be innocent by someone other than himself.

"Framed? How so?" the Blonde Haired Girl asked.

"Mrs. Naoko's wounds were different sizes and shapes, but two puncture holes were made to suggest that a 'vampire' did it.. But after Haruki pointed out that the wounds didn't appear to be from fangs, it was almost like the killer went out of his or her way to make them the same size and shape on Yuki, as if to reinforce the theory that a 'vampire' did do it, which he wouldn't do," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"Well that makes sense, so you think there's two killers, the brutal one, and then the one who is framing the 'Vampire'?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

"Yes, I do, and we should probably get out of here and find everyone else, before something else happens," the Silver Haired Girl said, as she watched the Boy wearing Goggles, the Gray Haired Boy, the Black Haired Boy, the Blue Haired Girl, the Blonde Haired Girl and the Long, Pink Haired Girl leave the basement.

"Although it could be one killer, trying to make it seem as if there are two killers to throw off our thinking.. Either way, there's at least one killer in the school that needs to be found before more damage can be done," she thought to herself as she followed them out of the basement in search of the rest of the student council members.

When she arrived at the entrance to the basement, everyone that had left ahead of her was there, waiting.

"So what should we do first, split up and look for everyone that's still alive and gather them together?" the Blonde Haired Girl asked. She was beginning to get desperate, having lost possibly her only chance of escape when Ayako Kiyoko took escaped the school with a Security Clearance Card.

"I think it would be a pretty good idea to gather them together, it's been hours since we've all been in the same place.. In fact, I don't think we have all been in the same place which is probably why everyone keeps getting killed," the Gray Haired Boy said. His usual humor faded, he was tired, and frustrated like the rest of them.

"You're not acting like your usual self, I think you should take a break in the cafeteria," the Blue Haired Girl said to him. She was still going out of here way to make sure everyone was calm and in the right state of mind.

"No, I'm fine, don't worry about me, she needs help more than I do," the Gray Haired Boy answered, motioning towards the Long, Pink Haired Girl who was still in a daze.

"How about we all just go down there, and collect our thoughts before we do anything?" the Silver Haired Girl suggested.

"I guess that would be fine, I could use a break, and some food.. Think the cafeteria has anything to eat?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"Probably not but it's worth a try, let's go," the Silver Haired Girl said, leading them to the cafeteria.

The Boy wearing Goggles followed them and asked, "Have any of you seen my cousin?"

Everyone shook their heads no, but the Silver Haired Girl had a different answer. "Yeah, he said someone told him to watch over the cafeteria for everyone, I was meaning to ask if any of you heard who might have said that?"

The Black Haired Boy looked around the group but no one had an answer. "I didn't hear anything either, sorry," he said.

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

While all of that was going on, the Boy wearing Sunglasses sat at one of the cafeteria tables while tapping his feet on the ground as he waited patiently at the cafeteria for anyone to show up to keep him company.

"Where is everyone? I don't like being here by myself, it's not safe," he muttered to himself, beginning to get a little freaked out.

All of a sudden he heard a loud metallic bang, and the sound of a door creaking open.

"What was that noise?" he asked himself, as he felt a cold breeze coming from the other side of the cafeteria. "It's probably just the air conditioner coming on, it's kind of cold in here," he said to himself as he began to shiver.

After a few minutes of sitting in the cold, he decided to see if he could do something about it and got up walking towards the source of the breeze when he noticed the steel door for the meat freezer was open. "Well, that's probably why it's so damn cold.. How did it get opened anyway?" he said to himself as he walked over to the door to close it.
As he approached the frosty steel door, he noticed a large puddle of blood on the floor of the freezer. "What the hell..? That's not good," he said as he rushed over to the entrance of the freezer, and noticed the lifeless body of the White Haired Girl; Airi Kasumi, laying on the floor.

"Airi?! What happened?!" he yelled as he ran towards her and checked her body over for a pulse, but she was dead.
She had been stabbed repeatedly, and had an injection wound on the side of her neck which he assumed occurred first.
He bent down and started to pick her up when he noticed someone standing at the door in a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, causing his heart to sink.

"No, not like this.. Damnit!" he cried out as he set Airi Kasumi down and ran towards the door, but the hooded figure shut the door, cutting off any sound of him shouting from inside the meat freezer. "I'm going to die in here.. my PDA's battery is dead so I can't tell them I'm in here.." he said to himself as he stood up and started walking around to keep up his body heat, before he was frozen.

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

"Did you hear that yelling? It sounded like my cousin.." the Boy wearing Goggles said to the group.

The Long, Pink Haired Girl nodded, but she was at the back of the group so no one saw her answer.

"I didn't hear anything," the Black Haired Boy answered.

"I didn't either," the Gray Haired Boy said.

"You're probably just hearing things," the Blonde Haired Girl said.

"It's understandable, this situation is enough to drive anyone insane," the Blue Haired Girl said, trying to keep him from feeling attacked. By that point, they had all made it to the cafeteria, but it was
empty.

"Well, he was here when I came by earlier," the Silver Haired Girl said. As she walked further into the cafeteria she felt the temperature change drastically.

"Do you feel that?" she asked. "It's freezing in here.."

"Yeah, I feel it, do you think it's the air conditioning?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"No way, it's too cold for that to be coming from the air conditioner," the Boy wearing Goggles answered.

They all looked up at the air conditioner unit above them, but it didn't seem to be putting out any cold air.

"I don't think it's the air conditioner, it doesn't feel any different that it normally does, it's probably something else," the Gray Haired Boy said.

"Well, I didn't feel the shift until we came into the cafeteria, so let's look around here?" the Long, Pink Haired Girl suggested.

"Okay, I'll be over here then," the Blue Haired Girl said as they all split up and began to look around the cafeteria for any holes in the wall, fans, or any thing else that would explain why they felt like they had just walked into a winter wonderland.

The Boy wearing Goggles walked deeper into the cafeteria until he reached the kitchen area which was behind some counters that were usually off limits to students during the day. "It's getting colder back here, come on!" he called out, making everyone rush to where he was as he continued his search for the chilling wind.

"Of course, the meat freezer.. Where they keep the 'meat surprise' for weeks on end before the decide to feed it to us," the Gray Haired Boy joked and everyone laughed.
They all knew how bad the school lunches were, so his made up scenario didn't seem to far from the truth.

"Kidding aside, that shouldn't be putting out cold air unless it's opened, which it's not.. So it must have been opened at some point, right?" the Silver Haired Girl asked.

"Yeah, probably, should we open it just in case?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"What if someone's trying to hide in there? We should just leave them alone," the Long, Pink Haired Girl said.

"Yeah, and what if it's the killer hiding in there? Would you just leave them alone too?" the Blonde Haired Girl asked angrily. Her temper was beginning to get to her, as she was still feeling sore about Ayako taking a Security Clearance Card for herself.

"Don't argue, there's no point in fighting... Besides, you're a nurse in training aren't you?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

"Yeah, I am, why?" the Blonde Haired Girl asked, confused.

"Then you should know if someone was in there, they wouldn't last very long, they'd freeze to death. The longer we sit here and argue about it, the less likely we'll recover who ever is in there, if there is any in the first place, but it's better to just check to see, isn't it?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

"I guess you're right, let's open it up then," the Blonde Haired Girl said, as she walked towards the large steel door with the rest of the group.
She reached out and grabbed the ice cold door handle and gave it a tug, but the door barely budged. "I'm going to need a little help," she said, discouraged that she couldn't open the door.

They all grabbed a hold of the door's handle and tugged as hard as they could, opening the door completely. None of them would be prepared for what they would find.

"No! More blood!" the Long, Pink Haired Girl shouted, as she ran back to a trash can before she threw up on the floor.

"Uh oh.. I'll go be with her," the Blue Haired Girl said, following the Long, Pink Haired Girl to the trash can.

The Silver Haired Girl nodded as she walked into the freezer.

"You all go with her, I'll keep the door open," the Black Haired Boy said, as he held the door pressed against the wall.

"Hurry in here, I need help!" the Silver Haired Girl shouted.

"What is it?" the Blonde Haired Girl asked as she made her way into the freezer, with the Boy wearing Goggles and the Gray Haired Boy not far behind.

"She's wounded badly, but he doesn't have any markings, we might be able to save him," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"D-Daisuke..?" the Boy wearing Goggles muttered to himself, looking down at his cousin.

"Hurry up and help us, or he's going to die!" the Blonde Haired Girl shouted at the Boy wearing Goggles.

"Forget him, let's just see what we can do," the Gray Haired Boy said, as he picked up the White Haired Girl and took her outside of the freezer and into the cafeteria.

The Blonde Haired Girl and the Silver Haired Girl both picked up the Boy wearing Sunglasses, and brought him over to where the White Haired Girl had been placed.

The Blonde Haired Girl quickly checked for a heart beat, or any signs of breathing, but they were both completely still.

"We were too late, I can't get anything from either of them.. I'm sorry," the Blonde Haired Girl apologized.

After hearing the bad news, the Boy wearing Goggles screamed and ran off in a rage, vowing revenge for who ever killed his cousin.

"... I did what I could," the Blonde Haired Girl said, looking down and shaking.

"We know you did, don't let him get to you, he's just upset.. We all are," the Blue Haired Girl said, as she walked towards the group after making sure the Long, Pink Haired Girl was comfortable again.

"So, what do we know?" the Black Haired Boy said, closing the freezer door as he walked to where everyone was gathered.

"Airi was probably killed before she was ever placed in the freezer.. She has taser burns on the back of her neck, injection wounds on her neck, and stab wounds everywhere," the Blonde Haired Girl said.

"My bet is the stabbing was over kill, and the injections were a safety procaution," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"How do you figure?" the Gray Haired Boy asked.

"I think so too.. You saw how shaky she was this whole time, her adrenaline was pumping like crazy.. A taser shock would have probably induced a heart attack, which probably could have killed her on it's own without medical help," the Blonde Haired Girl said.

"That's a nasty way to go.. What about him?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"The killer probably placed Airi in the freezer to lure Daisuke in there to get rid of them both," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"Why would someone be trying to wipe us out?" the Long, Pink Haired Girl asked.

"I don't know, but for now, let's take these two down to the main entrance and find 'goggle boy' before he starts a killing spree too," the Gray Haired Boy joked, as the six of them carried Airi Kasumi and Daisuke Ryouta to the main entrance with the rest of the corpses for identification.

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

The Red Haired Boy walked around the school with his hands in his pockets and saw the Silver Haired Girl and her group at the main entrance.

"... I don't want to deal with them right now, I should probably find someone who trusts me first.. I need to find those four that didn't vote for suspects," he said to himself as he turned around and started walking in the opposite direction when he noticed someone walking behind him with a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up.
The Red Haired Boy kept his head down, looking out of the corner of his eye until his pursuer was too close for comfort. "Need something?" he asked.
The figure spoke, it was the voice a familiar teenage male, but the Red Haired Boy couldn't recognize it that easily. "Take your hands out of your pockets. We'll walk and talk.. If you alert anyone of my presence I will tear you to pieces," the boy threatened, holding a knife to the Red Haired Boy's back as they walked.
The Red Haired Boy's eyes narrowed and took his hands out of his pockets. "You would have killed me by now if I was anyone else, you must know that everyone suspects me of murder, which is why you've decided to keep me around, right? You figure they'll suspect me instead of you if I'm not found dead.. Yet, you don't want me to even turn around, so you must have seen me pull out my gun before.. That makes things easier to narrow down," the Red Haired Boy said.

The hooded male didn't respond. "Turn left," the boy commanded with an irritated tone, forcing the Red Haired Boy into a darker hallway. "Good, now go in that room," he said, as he tucked the knife into his front pocket of his jeans.

The Red Haired Boy stood still then turned around to throw a punch, but the hooded male suspected something like that from him, and punched the Red Haired Boy hard in the mouth, causing him to fall back against the wall and slide down to the floor.

The hooded male grabbed the Red Haired Boy by the hair and hit him hard in the face with his knee. He then punched and kicked him repeatedly, until the Red Haired Boy fell unconcious.

"Arrogant little shit," the hooded male said, as he opened the door and kicked the Red Haired Boy into the storage closet. He then proceeded to tie the Red Haired Boy's hands together infront of him and pulled the gun out of his pocket. "Looks like I'll be able to frame you after all, he said as he gave the Red Haired Boy another kick, pocketed the gun, and fled out into the school again.

The Sixth Hour.

Everyone in the Principal's Office was stricken with grief, and frozen in fear.

"Why would someone target Haruki? He's never done anything to hurt anyone," the Silver Haired Girl sobbed.

"He shouldn't have gone off alone, this could have happened to anyone," the Purple Haired Girl said.

"Don't talk about it like it was Haruki's fault, it shouldn't have happened to him, he didn't tell anyone where he was going," the Blue Haired Boy shouted at her.

"That's not entirely true.. You said you knew where Haruki was, didn't you?" the Silver Haired Boy said, looking over at the Red Haired Boy.

"He told me where he would be, and I told her, like he told me to" the Red Haired Boy said, looking over at the Silver Haired Girl. "But.. That doesn't mean I know where he actually was."

"What sense does that make? You just said that he told you where he was," the Blue Haired Boy said, as he started walking towards the Red Haired Boy with his fists shaking.

"He told me he would be in the Security Office, that doesn't mean I knew where it was," the Red Haired Boy said.

After some time of crying, the Silver Haired Girl returned to her usual calm self. "He's right. Anyone who knew where this room was could have done it."

"Yeah, but how would they know that Haruki was in the room?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"They wouldn't have to," the Silver Haired Girl said, then went on to explain, "There were four victims before we even found Haruki, how do we know that the killer didn't come by here to erase the footage of their killings so they wouldn't get caught, and then ran into Haruki by mistake?"

"... So you're saying that it could be any of us, still?" the Blue Haired Girl asked, worriedly.

"It looks that way," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"So were not any closer to figuring out who's doing this.. Great," the Gray Haired Boy sighed.

"No, I'm afraid not," the Silver Haired Girl replied.

"How do we figure it out then?" the Boy wearing Goggles said, as he adjusted his goggles carefully.

"Like a detective would, we need clues, and suspects," the Silver Haired Girl replied.

"Well, I have my suspects, of course," the Silver Haired Boy said, looking around the room.

"Yes, and I have mine," the Silver Haired Girl replied.

Everyone's ears perked up, excited to hear who she thought was behind all of this.

"Here's how we'll do it, we'll each get a piece of paper, and write down the names of our suspects, then I'll compare them and watch that person very carefully, until they slip up, then we'll have them pinned," the Silver Haired Girl explained.

"You'll compare them? What about us? We're all in this too, that isn't very fair," the Boy wearing Goggles complained.

"Be quiet, it's the best way to do this, she's the President now, she makes the rules," the Boy wearing Sunglasses said, scolding his cousin.

"Oh, that's right.. Who will you appoint as Vice-President?" the Blonde Haired Girl asked excitedly.

"I'll decide that soon, but it won't be you.. I don't mean that meanly, you're already in charge of tending to everyone's wounds, I don't want to give you two jobs," the Silver Haired
Girl explained. "You understand right?"

"Oh, yeah of course, I get it! No problem," the Blonde Haired Girl said with a fake smile, but she felt as if she just died a little inside.

"Anyway, let's get started," the Red Haired Girl said, impatiently.

The Silver Haired Girl nodded and picked up the small black notebook that Haruki was using to take notes. She opened it up and noticed one of the pieces of paper was sloppily ripped out, unlike the others. "He must have been taking notes on us while he watched us.. This page was taken out in a hurry, the killer must have seen it as a threat.. If I don't find notes on Haruki, who ever has these notes must have done it," the Silver Haired Girl thought to herself. Her thinking was interrupted by the impatient stares of her fellow Student Council Members. "Oh, right, sorry..I was just thinking" she said, as she passed out a piece of paper to everyone. "Just take a pen out of the cup," she said, pointing to a cup of pens on the Principal's desk.

"We'll have to save four of the sheets of paper won't we? There's only twelve of us here, four of us are still missing," the Blue Haired Girl said, as she wrote down who she thought was suspectable on her piece of paper.

"I don't suspect any of them, but I suppose it would be fair," the Silver Haired Girl said, as the rest of them continued to carefully think and write names on their sheets of paper. After what felt like hours, she looked around the room once she was sure everyone else was done and noticed that they were all ready.

"Okay, put them into this bag, and I'll pull them out one at a time and tally up the results," the Silver Haired Girl said.

They all put their votes into the little plastic bag, and the Silver Haired Girl proceeded to count the votes for them.

After about five minutes of counting and adding, she was finally done. "Lots of votes.. This won't be easy to narrow down," she said.
"You're all too trusting," the Silver Haired Girl smiled. "None of you voted for me."

"I thought about doing it as a joke, but it wouldn't be very funny," the Gray Haired Boy said.

"You're right, that wouldn't be funny," the Silver Haired Girl mumbled, as she was going to start giving the results.

"I'll just shut up.." the Gray Haired Boy sighed.

Everyone laughed at him being shot down again, either outloud or to themselves. After everyone had calmed down a bit, the Blue Haired Girl spoke.
"I'm a little curious about the four that aren't here, did they get any votes?" she asked.

"They each got one," the Silver Haired Girl replied.

"That's suprising, okay, go ahead," the Blue Haired Girl said.

"You four, stand over there," the Silver Haired Girl said.

The Gray Haired Boy, Blue Haired Girl, Blonde Haired Girl, and the Boy wearing Goggles stood off in the corner of the room as they were told to.

"You four are low risk partners, along with the other four that aren't here.. You each only got one vote, but don't be concerned, no one actually suspects you," the Silver Haired Girl explained.

"How are we not suspected if someone voted for us?" the Gray Haired Boy asked, confused.

The Blue Haired Girl and Blonde Haired Girl both frowned. "How are we being suspected?! We've been taking care of everyone!"

The Boy wearing Goggles didn't say anything to argue, but then again he didn't really understand.

"I voted for everyone that left the student council meeting for any reason. Anyone who left could have killed Mrs. Naoko.. And everyone left atleast once, except for me and Haruki," the Silver Haired Girl explained.

"I see, so that means you had to vote for us, but since no one else did, we have nothing to worry about?" the Blue Haired Girl asked.

"Exactly," the Silver Haired Girl smiled and nodded.

"Yay! We're not suspected!" the Blonde Haired Girl squealed, high fiving the Blue Haired Girl.

"... That means all of us actually got other votes, doesn't it?" the Boy wearing Sunglasses asked.

The Silver Haired Girl nodded, "Sadly."

"Don't worry, I trust you!" the Boy wearing Goggles shouted.

The Boy wearing Sunglasses sighed and looked away embarrased.

"Okay, now you four, go stand in that corner," the Silver Haired Girl said.

The Red Haired Girl, Purple Haired Girl, Black Haired Boy, and the Boy wearing Sunglasses all walked to another corner in the room.

"You each have two votes, but if you don't count mine, you each have only one vote," the Silver Haired Girl said.

"That means that at least one other person here actually suspects us?" the Black Haired Boy asked.

"What a coward! Who ever thinks I'm a murderer better say it to my face!" the Red Haired Girl shouted.

"Calm down, will you? With an attitude like that, what do you expect..? You don't see me freaking out, do you?" the Purple Haired Girl asked.

The Red Haired Girl sighed, trying to relax again.

The Boy wearing Sunglasses looked over at the Silver Haired Boy who was smirking at him. "What are you smiling about? You're over there and I'm over here, that means you got more votes than I did! You're probably the only one who accused me," the Boy wearing Sunglasses shouted, stunning the Silver Haired Boy, who realized even he had people who were accusing him of murder.

"How many votes do I actually have..?" the Silver Haired Boy asked.

"You two, go stand over there and I'll tell you," the Silver Haired Girl said, as she watched the Silver Haired Boy and Blue Haired Boy walk to a third corner. "You both have six, five not counting mine."

"That many?! That's half of the people in this room!" the Blue Haired Boy shouted.

"This is so stupid, someone must have written our names multiple times on the same sheet of paper," the Silver Haired Boy was beginning to get angry. "It's rigged!"

"No, I assure you, it's all fair," the Silver Haired Girl said, then turning to the Red Haired Boy. "Sorry, you have the most votes. Nine, not counting mine you have eight."

The Red Haired Boy felt outcasted. "Do you all really think I'm that bad of a person?" he asked.

No one answered.

"This is bullshit, I don't need you people anyway, I'm out of here," the Red Haired Boy said as he walked out of the room slamming the door behind him, walking to wherever his feet would take him.

"What do we do about him now? There's four of us that don't know that he was voted most likely to be the killer," the Blue Haired Girl asked.

"Don't worry about him, he would have only gotten a few real votes if he didn't pull that gun stunt earlier," the Silver Haired Girl said. "I don't think he did it."

The group wasn't convinced.

"Look, I promise, he's nothing to worry about, okay?" the Silver Haired Girl said.

Still, no response.

"Fine, we'll go look for him, but if you find him before I do, do not harm him," the Silver Haired Girl commanded. "I'm telling you he didn't do anything.. Just take him to the Cafeteria and wait for me to show up," she continued to try and pursuade the group as she lifted Haruki up and was going to carry him to the main entrance by herself before she aided them in their search for the Red Haired Boy and the others.

As the group of eleven began walking out of the Principal's Office to locate the Red Haired Boy, (and if possible, the Brown Haired Girl, White Haired Girl, Purple Haired Boy, and the Long Pink Haired Girl,) every single one of the lights in the school suddenly went out causing a panic forcing everyone to split up again in different directions.

"Don't split up, stick together!" the Silver Haired Girl shouted as loud as she could, but her shyness didn't let her voice get very loud so no one paid any attention to her. "..Just make your way to the cafeteria, I'll be there soon!" the Silver Haired Girl shouted, as she lifted Haruki over her shoulder and hurried toward the main entrance with the only lights in the school to guide her being the red lights coming from the recording button on the security cameras and the small green lights on the smoke detectors.
