"Yes. Vampires are indeed weak to garlic. I'm glad you know so much about me considering you claimed to not believe my words a minute ago."

Shizune kept her gaze locked to the front and did not pause in her stride, even to answer Reiko's question. Upon hearing if she had anything left to share to the two girls, the vampire narrowed her eyes, though Reiko could not see so with her in the lead.

"No. Nothing else comes to mind. If I discover anything more, I'll be sure to inform you first, Nagatani-san."

It didn't take very long for the trio of girls to enter the intersection that had separated them all in the first place, and Shizune was relieved that the location didn't decide to change on itself again. Weren't there enough problems for her today? However, the closer she led the group down the second hallway, the more she felt that something was terribly wrong. When she stumbled upon a broken Shiori, all of the vampire's fears were instantly confirmed.

There...right there. Gray, discolored shards of glass layered the floor around the club leader, and it was then that Shizune knew. She understood quite perfectly....bounding over to Shiori, Shizune crouched down and lifted the girl up by the collar of her shirt. Clenching her fists tightly, Shizune's crimson eyes flamed with anger and she bared her fangs for all to see.

"You...y-you idiot! What the hell did you [b]do[/b]? Where are the boys? No....no they're all dead, aren't they? Stupid, stupid stupid!"

Shizune's face paled even more so than before, and she swept her line of sight over to Rekio and Shinobu now.

"That creature...let me guess, it was a mirror, right? Listen...that thing is a [b]death trap[/b]. It's called a Spectrum. Once someone gets caught inside the other side...there is no way to free them."

She looked back over to Shiori, her grip trembling.

"Someone got caught," she hissed. Her tone was accusatory.

"Someone got caught...then they all got....and then you tried to save them, didn't you? And now they're all dead, right Shiori? Answer me! Why do you always do this! Every time I try to help you...all of you...you just go around and be the hero and...and...ahh!"

Shizune half-threw, half-lowered Shiori back to the ground and closed her eyes to calm herself, taking slow, easy breathes. When she opened them again, her stoic expression was back and reinforced.

"Shiori, I....no, I mean Mizuhana-san...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I'm sure you did everything you could for them...it's my fault again. I shouldn't have left you...it won't happen a second time."

Trying to control the shake in her step, she backed away from Shiori, almost fearful as she cast her eyes downward. 

"We should probably find shelter for the next day," she muttered. "I'm not demanding that we do...that's just what I would suggest. That's all."

She refused to look at the club president, afraid of the girl's reaction to not only her outburst, but the eventual reveal of her status as well. It was only a matter of time before she too would discover that a vampire was walking in their midst.
