Two friends in a not so well known town are on there way to school. They are rushing because Keiko was quite late getting ready and they didn't want to be late for the first day of school.

"I can't believe you. Your going to cause us to be late! Couldn't you have hurried up a little getting ready?" Keitaro asked shaking his head sadly.

"I'm sorry Keitaro, my alarm clock didn't work and so I slept in late..." Keiko said in an apologetic tone.

"You really need to change the batteries in that thing."

"I know but I keep forgetting..." Keiko said still a bit emberassed for making them both late. She then looked down sadly. "You know you should have just left..."

"Without you? Never! You may be a trouble case but I would never leave you behind. I'm your friend!" Keitaro said smiling happily at her wanting to cheer her up.

"What about that time that I was still finishing my food at dinner but you left and started the movie we were going to watch together after without me?" She asked laughing.

"T-that was different... You know how long you take to eat! Plus you had already watched it once so I didn't think you'd mind." He said stating it matter of factly and pointed a finger at
Keiko playfully as if to show his point.

Rolling her eyes Keiko giggles a little "if you say so..."

Keitaro suddenly started picking up pace in a run calling behind him to Keiko. "Keiko we better hurry its almost time to start!" Keitaro said checking his watch as they started running for the school.

When they got to the school they stopped out of breath and curiosity realizing all the kids were out in the yard instead of inside the school building.

"What's going on?" Keiko asks as she tries to see over the large crowd of kids.

"I'm not sure... I can't see anything or get through this large group of people..."

Keiko stops hopping to try to see over the crowd and turns to Keitaro. "Why don't we ask someone else?"

"Good idea."

They then find a kid walking around as if pacing slowly tears in her eyes.

Keiko walks over the more open and outgoing one of the two. "Um may we ask what happened?" She asked quietly.

"I-it's Akio! My boyfriend! I went to see him this morning but as soon as I went to give him a hug and say Good Morning suddenly blood just started poring everywhere out of every cranny of him. I screamed and ran for a teacher after I called 911 but it was to late... The paramedics came and said he was just one of the case of murders that have been happening ever since the new law against having any kind of weapons... They were immediately assuming that they were killing as a sign of rebellion But the weird thing is that they can never find any weapon marks or sign of stress on the body ever... It's like they were just cut apart by air... They also said that if there is a direct witness to the killing they are always the ones killed next." She shook her head to stop thinking about it. "A-anyway they said he was dead on the spot... And that's all I know..."

"Wow... That seems odd but a very vivid description..." Keitaro said shaking his head not knowing want to say. He wasn't good at comforting people.

Keiko meanwhile was trying not to cry as she went to hug the girl crumpled up on the ground now sobbing and covering her ears trying to block out the image.

"I-it's to much!! Stop coming back!! Leave me alone!!!" She was screaming in a fit of rage as Keiko kneeled on her knees and hugged the girl softly "I-I'm scared.... Im really scared.... I don't want to die!" She was crying in an insane fit. "I DONT WANT TO DIE!!!" She said screaming as Keiko started to talk slowly and quietly saying things like "You'll be okay... Your not alone... You won't die..." and she slowly stopped screaming blushing a bit. "It's okay... Take a break... You don't need to handle all this. It wasn't your fault." Keiko cooed at her, the girl slowly falling asleep on Keiko she pet the girls hair softly.

Keitaro walked away to get more information but couldn't find anything else worth hearing. He then came back to Keiko the girl still asleep in her lap.

"I couldn't find anything else..." Keitaro said shrugging. "We probably should head in for school... Now that she," He said pointing to the girl in Keikos lap "has calmed down you should wake her up. I'm sure the principal will let her go home for today. But we can't. And everyone is starting to go inside so.."

Keiko nodded her head. "Your right." She then shook awake the girl and slowly stood up. She gave the girl to a teacher then went inside with Keitaro.

The bell started ringing and the made it in class just in time. They sat down in their chairs next to each other and high fives in happiness.

The teacher up front glared at them for a second then turned around and started writing the classes they were going to be in and what floors.

"Keiko and Keitaro will be in c-3 along with everyone on this list." The teacher said pointing to the list. "Check it for your name." The teacher then pointed to two other lists. "If your name is not on there check one of these for your name." He turned around and looked at the classroom. "Your all dismissed."

"Yeah!" Keiko said happily. "I have home-ec first, my favorite! It's the class where Miss. Amira talks about how much she gets dumped and tells old dating stories for the entire class! It's awesome because while she's talking you could be doing anything and she wouldn't notice! So I get to be on my phone the entire time!" She started laughing. "It's so funny."

Keitaro laughed along with her. "Good for you. I have science first which I don't mind so that's nice!" He said smiling also as Keiko and him high fived again.

They ran off to their classes Keiko skipping and Keitaro lagging watching her.

A few hours later at lunch they stopped to sit down at an open table.

The girl from earlier was who Keiko had been thinking about all day. Turns out they didn't let her go home. They let her lay down in the nurses office and she came looking for a table, Keiko obviously called out for her. "Come sit with us!!" She waved happily at the girl. Around the girl everyone was whispering things about her as the girl walked over and sat down.

"Hi!" Keiko said waving "H-hi..." She replied. "I don't think I got your name." Keiko asked. "I'm Keiko!" She sad holding out her hand. "What's your name?"
"I-im Andrea." She said shyly. "Andrea huh. I like that name!"
Andrea smiled a little.

"Oh and this is Keitaro!" Keiko introduced. "Hi..." "Hello Andrea." Keiko then interrupted. "So hey I was wondering if we could come over to your house for a movie! I have a great one I just got!" She said smiling wide.

"Um... Sure..." Andrea said smiling a bit. "Okay! After school alright?" Keiko said. "Yes... Sure." Andrea agreed and they finished lunch.

Hours later they were done with the first say of school. Since it was only a half day it was always the best day of school.

"I didn't even get any homework!" Keiko shouted happily.

"Neither did I." Keitaro said.

"Well I think we should head over too her house!" Keiko smiled.

"Well. Yeah that's true I agree." Keitaro said and they started walking to her house at a slow but not a regular walking pace.

They got there a while later and knocked on the door. "Andrea!!!" Keiko called loudly. But no answer.

She tries nocking again and still no answer. She waited and eventually wondered what was going on she pushed on the door a bit and it opens.

"Andrea?" Keiko asks walking in and looking around castiously. "Where are you?" She slowly starts to get worried.

She keeps looking and When she gets to the end of the opening door hallway she looked over into the living room and screamed in terror. Keitaro  comes running to her aid thinking something bad had happened to her as she falls to her knees and starts sobbing.

"W-what happened?!" Keitaro asked her. Clearly upset Keiko points to a bloody scene in the middle of living room. It was just like that very same girl had seen her boyfriend that day. Her eyes were blood shot and frozen in fright. Her skin was Pale but once again showed no signs of stress. Her Stomach was showing the insides of it and and her head was still on but barely as her neck was severely sliced. The arms and legs were severed and she was in a position that showed it was a surprise attack. The blood was still wet meaning it was fresh and just looking at it made Keiko sick.

She was sobbing loudly for no more than a second as Keitaro quickly covers her mouth and makes a 'shhhh' motion. He points to something else in the living room. What they saw was another Human, covered in blood and sweat messing with none other than, Andrea's dead body.
