"Hikaru! Why did you call us back in such a hurry?" Airi roared as she entered back the mansion. She then heard Riyu groaning in irritation, "WHY?!!!!?"

With that, the group who just came back looked at their leader, who was smiling apologetically at the Riyu, Kuri and Yuya. Yuka somehow felt that what Hikaru have told the three was already told to her before. She took a small gasp and asked their leader, "Is it…?"

"Is it!?" Ruri and Keito uttered in unison while Airi and Ryosuke fixed their stare at Yuka. Yuka just fixed her eyes to Hikaru who changed his expression of an idiot to an expression of calm person who smiled and nodded. Within seconds, Yuka shouted out the same thing as Riyu.

"Can SOMEONE PLEASE just tell the rest of us why those two are having the whys and Why Yuya and Kuri are being so quiet?" Ryosuke finally burst out his thoughts. He couldn't handle the questions being thrown at him. Riyu who suddenly appeared behind him poked his cheeks and said, "We… have to go out and mingle with the humans!!!! HIKARU EVEN GAVE US OUR FAKE IDs and school information!!!"

"What's so bad about that? We get to smell or probably get some humans to be our food?" Ryosuke let out a sigh in disappointment, hoping that the news would be something thrilling. Yuka then added, "The humans have made their move and their first spot to excavate is this particular house. To prevent our covers being blown just like the air that you breathe, we need to get out there,"

"WHYYYY?!?! THIS PLACE IS MY FAVOURITE PLACE!!! MY MIRROR! MY BED!!! MY COLLECTIONS OF BLOOD!" This time, it's Ryosuke's turn to go with the 'Why' and the pandemonium expression. Riyu couldn't help but to retort back, "What's so precious about those 100 years blood. It stinks and it is rotting. Not long it will just be a simple black solid,"

"Hey~ Yu-Chi, those bloods, are the prize for injuring 'them'," Ryosuke gave a seedy smile. He even teased Riyu with the cold nickname. Riyu just smirked back, "Oho. Just for injuring? Not for annihilating? Useless,"

Airi sighed, she knew that Ryosuke would easily pick a fight with either her or Riyu but more towards herself and wanted to question Hikaru. She felt suspicious about him, Hikaru would choose a choice where it wouldn't involve humans. Yet, after 1000 years, he chose to flock with the humans. Airi couldn't help but something is fishy going on. Surprisingly, Ruri had the same suspicion as Airi. Both of them called Hikaru to a much quieter place from the others.

Both Karina and Shizuko were busy with the event of the audition. To their own bewilderment, the amount of crowds was unexpected. They were at the backstage, checking each of the contestant's mic and also their last touch-up. Things were going perfectly until one guy popped up and shocked them both. The guy seems too old for this mini audition but they can't complain. The audition is open to all, if succeeded, he or she could find a chance to sign a temporary contract with the company. Even so, a 17 years old guy? Joining a 11-14 years old based competition?

"Next one, Lewis Jesse! Duet with Matsumura Hokuto!" the MC announced and immediately, another guy just whizzed pass through both of them. It surprised both of Shizuko and Karina. That another guy somehow passed by as though wind passed by. The moment those two started singing, Shizuko and Karina were dumbstruck. The abandoned their work or sorting out the wires and focused onto the mesmerising voices that just greeted their ears. Before they realised it, the singing was over. Although both of them refused to admit it, they wanted to hear more of their voices. Once Lewis Jesse and Matsumura Hokuto were off the stage, the crowds started to slowly change from cheering to squealing. From their view, Shizuko could assume that even some males even succumbed to their voices.

Backstage, Karina approached the two guys bringing two bottles of water for them, "Nice singing… Have you been singing often?" Despite the fact that she didn't want to talk to them but giving water to them without any words seems too arrogant to her. So she had to say something anyway.

The first guy to enter the stage, Lewis Jesse, smiled and accepted the water, "Not really… Both of us got interested into singing because of this one particular group,"

"Would you believe, if I've said that this group are all Vampires?" the guy who has a cool composure, Matsumura Hokuto gave a small smirk towards Karina. Shizuko, who heard that from afar accidentally scoffed and laughed to herself, "Vampires? That's one good joke. Just when we plan to check that house,"

Jesse heard that statement and it intrigued him, "That house… Is it the abandoned house that looks unoccupied but yet well taken care of?" Shizuko was a bit shocked knowing that he knew which house that she was talking about. On the other hand, Karina wasn't all surprised about it because that house was quite famous for that particular trait. So it wouldn't be a shock if that house was widely known.

"We're planning to infiltrate the house tonight," Hokuto said as he stood up - prepared to leave the area. To Shizuko, that statement carried another meaning… as if he was asking, "Want to come along with us?"

Shizuko stared at Karina, wondering, if she got the same gist as her. Karina turned and gave a look to Shizuko. Shizuko just shrugged her shoulders and sighed.

"Can we come along?" Karina asked.

Hokuto smiled as a reply of 'Sure'.

Chitose, was riding on the train together with Kazuko busy typing her final paragraph of her 5 pages long essay just for a simple topic about the traits of human behaviour towards spirits. Kazuko on the other hand looking out through the window sighing at the thought, 'How did she managed to get me to say yes?'

She was arguing with Chitose earlier about the exploration to the so-called haunted house. Kazuko had a test tomorrow and she wanted to prepare herself as it is including a real criminal called the name Yaotome Hikaru. It pressurized her as the guy was around her age. Yet, he massacred a whole clan within an hour… It was reported that he had comrades supporting in this crime. Sakuratsuki Riyu, Hasegawa Airi, Takaki Yuya, Harada Yuka, Yamada Ryosuke, Okamoto Keito, Morimoto Ryutaro, Kossi Kurisutiina. Although it was such a huge number, the only one got identified is Yaotome Hikaru.

"Don't get too serious about one criminal. Plus, I get to be a psychiatrist to one guy who seems to be part of the crime that your criminal is with. His name is Manabe Keito. If I get an information, just one… I'll pass the test and get myself a job." Chitose said in a leisure manner as if this problem of hers was no big deal. At the same time, she spoke like she was confident she would somehow obtain that piece of information.

It's already 5 in the evening, in other 10 minutes, they finally could hand in their assignment to their idiotic teachers who wants their work ASAP. Upon arrival at their teacher's office, both of them saw the so called 'Magnets' of the Uni. Yabu Kota, Inoo Kei and Arioka Daiki. They are popular because, of course, first is their facial appearance, and their rejections towards girls. Ironically, girls get attracted to them due to their reluctance to be around girls. The impetus was the news about them working at the Butler's Cafe.

While waiting for their teacher to get some things, both Chitose and Kazuko overheard those three's conversation with another teacher.

"Those girls told me that you three planned to go near that house?" the teacher sternly said. Although it looked like that the teacher was scolding the three, yet, the three showed no signs of anything. It was just like the teacher was never there in the first place.

The teacher realised that they weren't listening, finally gave up and sighed, "I'm warning you, NEVER GET CLOSE TO THAT HOUSE! If anyone reports to me that they spotted any one of you there. You will be suspended for a month!"

Daiki smirked, "Are you sure you are capable of suspending US? Won't the female students cause any trouble?"

Knowing that Daiki will soon go too far, Kei took the liberty and stopped him, "Dai-chan. That's enough of your confidence,"

Kota, who stole a glance at his watch earlier tried to end this scolding session, "Alright sir… We understand… Is it alright for us to leave? I have a part-time job waiting,"

"And we wouldn't want to suffer a paycut because of you," Daiki added with a cheerful smile.

"Your answer?" Kei reminded the speechless teacher. The teacher let out a grunt before 'Shoo' them away. Daiki just smiled with triumph as they managed to get to their job early. It is true that Tsubasa would cut 1% off every 1 minute. The reason why she could do that was simple, she is a rich daughter.

"You got your names and everything… We will pretend and act as if we are strangers… Except your partner of course. We are all going to enter the same University. Plus, coincidentally, our vampiric age to human years are eligible to enroll there. REMEMBER! WE DO NOT KNOW EACH OTHER~" Hikaru said with his eyes bulging wide to add the effect. Kuri just gave a scoff while Airi and Ruri were sighing - Jesse and Hokuto are back eh?

In the midst of all that silence, only Ryosuke's and Riyu's quarrel could be heard. They were fighting for quite a while. The whole thing went into a sudden stop when Ryosuke uttered, "No matter what. It's because of that Jesse that you aren't able to drink blood! It's not that you hate or can't get used to the blood taste. You wanted Jesse's blood! ALL because he smiled to you in your desperate situation. And you have the tone to say that I, who just trying to be friendly with girls is immoral? Isn't it more immoral for you to fall for one of 'them'?! 'They' who live as long as we live? Perish when we die? THEY live to KILL US! Don't forget that!"

Riyu sent a final glare to Ryosuke and said with small bits of tears falling down her cheek, "Jesse. HE was turned to become them! HE WAS forced to be one of them! He became part of them because of me!"

"I've heard that story. That’s the time where I came and turned you into a Vampire. But Riyu! Once he became one of them, they forget everything of their past. They were brainwashed TO GET RID OF US," With that as the finishing statement, Ryosuke turned away and headed to his room - packing. Before he closed the door, he said, " Remember to wake up early,
