"By the way, aren't you guys too boring?" A girl with short curly white hair mumbled. Blood trickled down her not so chubby cheeks, stained her clothes and dripped here and there from her hair.
But it wasn't her.
It belonged to the four men lying on the ground. Crimson liquid slowly crawled around them, covering the street in red, fluid blanket. The girl stared down the bodies, her deep purple eyes glinting like amethysts, and let out a disappointed sigh.
"Its weak trashes like you that i hate the most."
Her train of thoughts was interrupted by a sudden wetness on her pointed nose, "Drip!"
A clear drop of rain landed on her left ear and trickled down the clover shaped black earring.
"Ah, rain."

"What the... is it raining?", Zack looked to the night sky above. "Strange, there isn't much cloud", he pointed out in his mind because of the countless stars and the moon still floating there, lighting the darkness with pale hue. But the raindrops were, without a doubt, real.
"What should i do? I don't wanna get wet, or going back", Zack closed his eyes and raced between different alternatives as the rain got heavier and heavier, "Shops are closed right now. School guard might let me in but as soon as he notifies the principal, I'll be in trouble... ah, what should i do?"
"Eh, Zack?", Lerxis called him, "If you ain't got a place, you can come with us, you know".
"No, no. I got a place. Just...", Zack stopped dead on his track.
He felt something on the wind. It was as if the atmosphere itself quailed in horror. An ominous sensation creeped at his heart, he gulped to swallow the dread down his throat but to no avail.
"Zack", he heard a distant shout call his name, "Zack!", the call repeated. He looked at the corner of the street, one which the thugs escaped to, and felt his heart palpitate.
"ZACK!", Lerxis yelled at him, knocking him off from his thoughts. "W-What?", he asked, his voice was weak. "What what? You were staring at the corner for a while, man"
"Oh, huh", Zack sneered a little as awkwardness tightened around his face, "I was just thinking... maybe can i go with you?", his face that of a cute puppy.
