Rosario + Ghost Rider

Episode 10: Whose afraid of the big bad wolf?

With their first meeting as members of the school newspaper ending Rane and the gang with back to their dorms for the night. Come the next morning everything seemed normal as Rane walked to class. The only difference was the constant muttering he heard under his breath from a lot of the girls in the school. He didn't pay much attention but he did notice the chatter were about more missing underwear. Rane could actually believe that there would be someone perverted enough to do this kind of stuff but with all the talk his hit count must've been really high and there isn't a single clue as to who the person is. Even for a monster, that takes skill and experience. Rane took his normal spot in class which was next to Moka but she didn't look so happy. Actually she looked a little bit mad.
Rane: Let me guess.
Moka: They were stolen
Rane: Knew it.
Moka: But there was something else.
Rane: What?
Moka: I woke up in time to see him leave my room.
Rane: Ok and?
Moka: And it was a werewolf.
Rane: Oh, that explains the look on your face that says there's a bigger problem than your panties missing.
Moka:That's not the only problem
Moka put her hands on her skirt and began to blush.
Moka: Whoever he was he took my last pair of clean underwear.
Rane: So you put on a dirty pair right?
Moka remained silent and just stared at her desk.
Rane: You're not...
She continued to stare but she nodded her head. The very thought of Moka not wearing underwear ran through his mind and it started to give him a nosebleed which Moka could smell.
Moka: Rane your getting me riled up especially since I haven't had anything to drink in a while.
Rane: And your not getting anything today.
Rane pulled a napkin out of his pocket and uses it to plug his running nose before sitting down. The rest of the class time was completely awkward and Moka kept worrying about people seeing her without underwear on and all Rane could do was keep her as calm as possible about it. The tension carried throughout the entire day even as they went to the school newspaper for their second day. As they worked on the paper Ginei and Shizuka entered with disappointed looks on their faces.
Rane: Hey guys, did something happen?
Ginei: Oh yeah, something happened alright.
Shizuka: Rane you are in so much trouble.
Rane: Wait what?
Ginei walked over to Rane with pictures in his hand. When he held them in front of Rane's face he saw burn marks scattered across the women's bathroom.
Ginei: Looks like we found the panty thief.
Rane: Wait you're saying it was me?
Ginei: You've grown a reputation for being somewhat of a pyro.
Rane: Ginei you have some nerve!
Shizuka: Rane that's enough! Your actions are disgraceful and it is my job to bring you to the school council to await your punishment.
Rane: BUT I DIDN'T DO IT!!!
Shizuka: Just come quietly Rane.
It was obvious the evidence wasn't real but it looked real enough and in Rane's corner he has no one to back him up saying he's innocent. With no other option he let out a heavy sigh and followed Shizuka leaving Moka, Yukari, and Kurumu alone.
Moka: There is no way he did that.
Kurumu: Especially since that thing only comes out when he's mad but we can't present that as evidence.
Yukari: Right because if they know that they might suspect that he isn't a normal monster.
Moka: We need to find real evidence to clear his name.
Kurumu: Moka you go with Rane and try to persuade them to hold off on things.
Yukari: What are we going to do?
Kurumu: Catch the real culprit of course.
They all nodded in agreement and split up. Moka followed Shizuka and Rane while Kurumu and Yukari explored the campus.
Kurumu: Ok do we have any other spots we can look.
Yukari: Let's check one of the female dorms. They broke in through a window there.
They did just that and examined the wall as it went up to the point of entry.
Yukari: Notice anything.
Kurumu did notice something and began pointing to the numerous claw marks on the wall.
Kurumu: Whoever was doing this had claws to climb.
Yukari: So that immediately takes Rane out as an option.
Kurumu: Yeah, it does. Take a picture while I keep looking.
Yukari pulled out a camera that she borrowed from the news room and took a few snapshots while Kurumu kept walking around. In the meantime Moka was with Rane sitting in front of the principal's office where the faculty were discussing his punishment. They could make out a few words from suspension to detention to expulsion. Point is that none of them were good.
Rane: I didn't do this.
Moka: Of course not. The others and I know you better to know that the evidence doesn't match up.
Rane: That's actually pretty reassuring.
Moka: That's what I'm here for, to convince you that things would be ok.
Rane: The talk of expulsion going on in there says otherwise.
Even in terrible situations Rane's sense of humor did put a smile on people's faces. Moka let out a small giggle as Rane looked at her but soon something else caught his eye. He looked past Moka down the hall to see Ginei who was looking directly at them. Rane thought maybe Ginei felt ashamed of him and he wouldn't blame him if that were the case but something made it obvious that it wasnt. What changed Rane's mind? Ginei soon turn the corner leaving Rane's field of vision but before he disappeared behind the corner he cracked a sinister smile.
Rane: IT WAS HIM!!!!
Moka:Who?
Rane:I'll explain later!
Rane had no time to waste. He grabbed Moka's hand and ran down the hall and turned the same corner Ginei did from there they could see him and began to follow him wherever he went and Ginei's destination was the school roof.
As Moka and Rane followed him up there they were alone, nobody to see what could happen next.
Rane: GINEI!!!
Ginei: Rane I thought you'd follow.
Moka: Ginei what's going on?
Rane: Aside from you framing me.
Moka: That was you?
Ginei: And what if it was? You have no proof to prove it.
Rane: Maybe I'll burn it out of you!
Ginei: Slow your roll hot shot. We all know that as soon as the fireman comes this whole area turns to ash and that's something you can't afford.
Moka: You planned this. Why?
Ginei let out a sigh before he spoke.
Ginei: Every man has a passion but some people don't accept it and have to do it in secret. You Rane were getting to close to figuring it out.
Rane: So you framed me for your crimes.
Ginei: Hook, line and sinker.
Moka: And to think I actually thought you were nice.
Ginei: Oh well, guess you'll have to get by without your friend cuz he's toast.
Moka: And you're next. Rane, the rosary.
Rane nodded his head and yanked the rosary from around her neck. The sky turned to night in the full moon and Moka stood with her more bodacious body and silver hair.
Moka: Really? A werewolf vs a vampire. How cliche.
Ginei: Hahaha! You think I'm scared of a little attitude adjustment? Your not the only one who changes with the full moon.
Ginei's body began to bulge and grow in size. His entire body got hairy and his clothes ripped as he grew and his face morphed into that of a wolf probably because what stood before them was no doubt a werewolf.
Ginei: I hope you're scared Moka.
Moka: Not in the slightest
Rane: This is even better than twilight.
