And it was happening, again, someone was getting killed in front of Shinobu's eyes. It wasn't such a monstrous view compared to the day before, but the fact that the perpetrator was no one else but the girl who swore to protect them, and compared to the red hair Akane was even closer to Shino. Still, angst had taken hold of Shinobu and all she could watch was as their [i]saviour[/i] feasted upon the karate girl like some kind of vampire. No! Shino wanted to help, but she couldn't move. She didn't want to lose another person. Why? Why was she so weak? What if they would be the next victims? Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! She wanted to yell, but even her voice wouldn't come out and tears started to roll down her soft cheeks.

And then, the evil deed was done, and as if Reiko had been put under a similiar curse as Shino, they were finally able to react [i]properly.[/i] A Shinai got thrown, words exchanged, Shino didn't care, no, the green-hair immediately rushed towards the new corpse. [b]"Akane-chan! Akane-chan!"[/b] Her tears not stopping she kneeled besides her, gently shaking the drained body. [b]"Hey! Wake up! Please! You are not dead, right? C'mon, 'Just a flesh wound.'...Hey!...Hey!...Please..."[/b] As her voice grew more silent, she violently shot her balled fist towards the ground, hurting herself more than the cursed floor. Why? Again, why was this happening? And why was their [i]friend[/i] the one who just attacked them? Was she under some influence? A fake? Maybe this was HER hunting ground? Was she even human? Why couldn't she protect Akane-chan? Why was she so weak? So goddamn weak? No...she couldn't lose faith in her believes...but still... .

Still sobbing, Shinobu closed the eyes of the corpse before fixating on the thrown Shinai, proceeding to move towards it and pick it up.
