"Now it is the time of night

That the graves, all gaping wide,

Every one lets forth his sprite

In the church-way paths to glide."

- WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, A Midsummer Night's Dream

Rainier waited on Tokyo Fountain Plaza, their place of meeting at exactly 9 in the morning. He has always been the type of person who hates being late even though he knows the other three will be.

"I'm here Ran! Sorry!!!!"

Rainier smiled after seeing Erin running towards their meeting place while Yuri was walking slowly with her headset set on her head while humming to the tune she was listening to.

"Big brother's late isn't he?"

The Student Council secretary chuckled and nodded, "it is as expected though..."

"I guess... for how long did you pack for?"

Rainier patted the body of the trolley he was holding, "about two-three weeks. This is Drake we are talking about and it is winter break, we'll be taking a while."

"Yuu and I talked yesterday so we have a month worth."

Yuri nodded and smiled as she showed her trolley and backpack.

"Good planning kids..."

The three jumped and Drake chuckled, "quit the coffee."

"Since when have you been there?"

Drake smirked and took the trolley of Erin in his hand, "Ran honey... I've been here since you said you were expecting me to be late. "

Rainier made a gagging sound, "Ew... don't call me honey. It's disgusting!"

Yuri removed the earphones from her ears and smiled, "not to mention disturbing too. Where's the house located?"

"Somewhere in Fukuoka... I heard my great grandfather doesn't like crowds much. 6 hours via Shinkansen... not that far."

"Oh okay...let's go...tickets first then bentos."

"Yuu, did you bring the PSP with you?"

Yuri nodded and Rainier grinned, "nice..."

After a few minutes wasted by buying the tickets to Fukuoka and fights for the bento boxes, the four friends were off. They chose to sit in the middle of the cabin with Erin and Yuri on the window seats. As soon as they were seated, Yuri replugged the earphones and slept. Erin and Rainier started to talk about the Student Council president while Drake kept himself busy with his NDS, supplying comments every now and then.

Two hours had passed and all four fell asleep, Yuri awoke to the sound of someone calling her name and she yawned. She looked around but the ones close to their seat were empty except for an old couple sitting across them.

"I swear I heard someone..."

Shaking her head, Yuri sat back down and took out her game console. She turned it on only for it to turn immediately off, "weird... I charged this before I went out."

Yuri disappointedly hid the PSP back to her back pack and stared outside the window unaware presence of the long haired girl with ruby eyes staring at her.

"Yuu?"

Yuri smiled at the girl who just woke up, "did I wake you? Sorry..."

Erin shook her head and smiled, "it's okay... why are you up?"

"I thought I heard someone calling my name... never mind. It was probably just my imagination. Go back to sleep."

Erin nodded and went back to sleep. Yuri smiled and turned her attention back to the window when she noticed the reflection of a girl behind their chair. The girl had long jet black hair sitting across them with bright ruby eyes. Yuri's smile dropped and her eyes bulged when she saw from the window's reflection that the girl's face started changing. Her eyes were blood red and there was a large gash on the side of her head. Her head made a snapping sound when it made a full 45 degrees turn to face the window and blood flowed out from her eyes, gash and mouth.

Yuri bit her lip to keep herself from screaming and the girl's face changed back to normal, a creepy smile remaining on her face, "Not again..."
