Yo, what's up!? Abigail is so dead for overdoing the earlier chap. So since she changed her writing process, I'll change mine too!

You were walking aside Mahiru and Kuro, oh and along with Rose too. (Don't forget about her, guyz!)

You wandered your eyes around your environment and said, "hmm, I've never crossed this part of the neighborhood."

"Really? Kuro and I walk on this path everytime." Mahiru remarks as Kuro says his usual phrase of 'can't deal'.

Rose was resting across your shoulder, you stared at her. "Hey Rose, sorry if I made you hurt your subclasses. I even injuried Lepido-"

"Nah, it's alright." Rose mutters, "there's nothing to worry about. It's my fault, I didn't treat Aure and the others much as I've treated Lepido and the others."

"Speaking of Lepido, is he alright?" Mahiru queries, with a concerned face. "I've heard he's been stabbed and losing control."

"He's been recovered."

"Oh,"

"Mahiru-kun!" You heard the most enthusiastic and loud voice ever.

You turned to see him. Alicein or Arisuin (whatever his surname is 😒) Mikuni. You batted your eyes and shrieked, "Arisuin Mikuni?!"

"Ah, Mikuni-san." Mahiru turns his back to face him, "I didn't expect you to meander in this part of the neighborhood."

"Heyoo~ Mahiru-kun~!" Mikuni, after taking off his stetson hat, bowed and scraped. He creases a smile over his face, "how's it been? It's been a week, hasn't it?"

His eyes ends off trailing to Rose, he smirks. "Ah, so this is the Servamp of Demise's animal form? A snow leopard, huh? Seems like the right animal appropriate enough for hunting."

Rose furrows her brows and turns away, what's her problem?

"Uhm, what do you want.. Mikuni-san...?" You reluctantly queried, looking at him from head to toe. He's the cowboy type? Looks like a foreigner yet a Jap.

He seemed good-looking, but he wasn't your type. He looked nice, but there was one thing bothering you... WHAT'S WITH THE DOLL!?

Mikuni caught you staring at his doll and his eyes widen, "you delinquent! Don't look at my Abel with those lewd eyes!"

"The heck!?" You had an irk mark in irritation.

"Now, uhh, (Y/N)-san.. and Mikuni-san, now's not the time for fighting.." Mahiru chimes in, sweatdropping.

"Ne, Mahiru-kun. Where are you two heading?" Kuni-chan rests his doll on his shoulder as he lays his hands on his hips, with Jeje hissing quietly.

"Uhm, well, our school." You replied, "one of Pride's subclasses had information of an incoming Virtue. Plus, we do have school today," You gestured on your uniform as Mikuni bats his eyes.

He then huffs, "I was referring to Mahiru-kun, you delinquent!"

"I was trying to be a lot more useful!" You fumed, "you know, Misono is a lot more friendly than you are right now, psycho!"

"Now, now.. guyz.." Mahiru sulks between you two.

"Are you even his older brother? You two look nothing alike at all!"

"How crude. Of course we do!" Mikuni riffles his hand up and down, reluctantly while saying. "More or less?"

~skip time~

"So let me get this straight, you guys are on a mission in some ransack urge of a virtue?" Mikuni creases a grin, "ha, that sounds stupid."

You furrowed your brows as you three walk through a hallway, "ugh, I hate being with this guy.." you muttered.

"I can hear you~~~!"

"Shut up!" You fumed, "are you really Misono's brother!? If you are, then give me proof!"

You yelled so loud that it made his hat hop off his head, he bats his eyelashes and snickers. Picking up his hat, he grins. "Well, then. Don't believe me?"

Your eyes plained serious as he witnesses that, "shall I introduce you my imitations of him then? Wouldn't acquating prove it?"

"Mikuni-san, you don't have to--" Mahiru was cutted off.

"Lately, many people have been convinced that I'm his brother. But since you insist, I have to comply anyway."

"I doubt that," you curtly snapped before Mikuni takes a deep breath.

He tromps his foot on the floor firmly, causing a loud echo to occur. "You bastards, you call this damn place a freakin' academy!!? Where are your manners, you fucking commoners!? This is education, society, association, for darn sake!! Do you want me to cut your head off!? Ha, pathetic! I knew you wouldn't answer!" He fumes, yelling and made you three tremble, excluding him, Jeje and Rose.

He then sulks shamefully, falling on his knees and disappointedly utters. "I was close to him, wasn't I? I bet no one can top that.."

"Yeah, really close.." Kuro replies.

"Weren't those the exact same words that you said before?" Mahiru sulks.

"What a pain. You're so scary. I wonder why you have friends," Kuro says, transforming into his human form. Sitting in a lotus position and tucking a lollipop in his mouth.

"Actually, I don't have any.. I only have my Jeje and Abel." Mikuni utters, "Shuuhei seems to hate me, but I guess he's my friend in a way. Tsuru-chan might be too."

"Tsurugi-san, huh?" Mahiru sweatdrops, "the very last last time I saw you two meet, you two actually tried to kill each other."

Mikuni jolts up and returns his feet back on ground, he places his hat on top of his head. "Sooo, what shall we do then?"

"First, let's look around for a bit." Mahiru recommends and both of you nodded.

"Hey, speaking of which. Where is everybody?" You asked and looked around. Rose hops off you and returns back on her human form.

"Hmm..? I sense no presence of anything alive," Rose mutters.

"Is there anyone dead?"

"No, but.. I feel something familiar," Rose twitches her brows as she grips on her head.

"Rose-chan..?"

"It's nothing. Anyways, I can hear some people breathing. They're humans, but they're lacking of air and energy," Rose says, "someone or something might be draining their lives out of them."

"I feel it too," Jeje crawls down and morphs into his human form. "Something's.. not right here,"

"What a pain. This ain't good,"

"Everyone, let's split up pairs and see what we can find." Mahiru demands.

But Mikuni chortles, "you know that I don't take orders from someone else, kid. But I'm well obliged," he sheers over to Jeje, "let's go.." both of them walked away, and rummaging into classrooms.

Grays mists covers the whole hallway. In fact, a group of mists encircled your hand, you shrieked and yanked your hand to make it dispel away. "This is getting creepy every minute! Where are these mists even coming from!?"

"What a pain," Kuro mutters. You then abruptly grasped on the tips of his jackets and dragged him away.

"You're coming with me, Ash!" You yelled, "Rose-chan! Guard Shirota with your life!"

"Alright, but I'm not even alive." Rose sighs, "if this guy explodes in oblivion, then I don't care."

"Hiiih!! (Y/N)-san, your Servamp is so scary!"

Mikuni busts in a class room and cries out, "now, whooo's gonna greet me!?" He blinks as he sees no one, "haah?"

Jeje who comes after him, sighs. "No one's.. here either.."

"That's strange," Mikuni grins. "Is anyone in a vacation now?" He cackles, resting Abel on his shoulder. "If it is, then it's no joke!"

Jeje grows an irk mark as he dredges out his barrel guns, "this is.. a crisis for pete's sake..! Get serious.. bastard.." he starts shooting Mikuni all over again, but he successfully dodges it by bobbing himself up and down, left to right.

"Gya~! you're shooting me---!?"

"Heeellooo!? Anyone heere~?" You called out, cupping your palms around your mouth. No one answers as usual. The room was empty, but it was fogged with gray mists.

You waved it off in irritation, "no one's answering? Plus, this mist's bugging me! Is there someone smoking!?"

Kuro sniffs the air, "I smell a familiar scent. Although, I'd rather not try to remember.."

"Ash, just tell me already!"

"Nah, too troublesome.."

A chuckle then flows through the air as the doors, windows and any other possible exits closed and were blocked by thicker mists.

"What a cute couple~"

The two of you sheered to the teacher's desk to see a boy (the one from chapter 6) sitting on its desk. He mischeviously smirks as he stares at the both of you.

"Say, how long have you two been together? Have you been trustworthy enough?"

"Who are you?" You gasped, but Kuro steps ahead of you to protect you from the front.

"(Y/N), stay behind me.." he mumbles.

"Ash, who is this guy?" Your voice cracked in fear, somehow.

"Huuh? You even haven't told your girlfriend yet.." the boy hops off the teacher's desk and pulls out a cane, wielding it around as he took steps near to you two. "The name's Dorīmu ītā Monokurōmu (Dream Eater of Monochrome), the eighteenth Servamp.."

He took off his military hat, bowing and scraping from a distance away from you two. "You.. gotta be kidding me," you gaped, twitching an eye. "There's more than.. twenty?"

"Why, no.." Dream Eater sticks his tounge out as he horizontally held his cane up to his chest, "I'm the only one left since Hoki (Demise) and I killed the others. Ha, isn't it fun to just wreck your own Servamp's reputation?"

"She.. kills people?" You stuttered.

Kuro stares at behind and warns you, "she does, she didn't really mean it. Don't believe in anything this kid says,"

"Aww, you just lied to her, didn't you?" Dream Eater chortles, "calling your wittle brother a 'kid' is a bit too crude.. call me by name. My street name that is,"

He bits his finger while the look in his eyes were twisted and diabolical, "hey, how come you trust Surīpī Asshu?" He emphasizes that word like it was poison to him. "Are you sure you know everything about him?"

"Ash, what is he talking about?" You whisper/yell as you bit your lip, feeling unsteady.

"(Y/N), whatever happens from now on.. promise me you'll be able to forgive me," Kuro stares at you with worried eyes, it made you had a discerned face. Just what is he hiding from you?

"Heh, young love." Dream Eater chimes in, tilting his head as he holds out his hands. "Nani, Taidana? (Sloth) Are you gonna have the same yandere tendencies like Watanuki Sakuya? You're gonna kill me, aren't you?"

"Uhm, correction. A yandere is a student who kills everyone who gets near or loves his/her love one." You wavered, sulking.

Dream Eater stares at you with a discerned face, "wow, acting like you're the smart one, huh?" He chortles, "I suppose you look like two people I know."

"Two people?"

"You already know, huh? Just one of the two, Aizawa's mother.. huh, kid?"

"Kid?" And that's where it struck you, that word 'kid' made you remember something. You gasped, "you.. you're the one from that dream,"

Dream Eater smirks maliciously, "ahh, finally recognizing me, Howaito (Whitey)?"

"Huh?"

"Ha, you don't know then.." he tilts his head.

"Don't know what?" Kuro gnashes his teeth, his teeth were jagged. He balls his fists as anger monopolizes him.

"Hey now, if you two don't know anything, then it's fine by me.." Dream Eater shrugs it off, raising his hands up along with the cane still in his possessions defenselessly. "I'll just kill you without knowing, that way, curiousity will really kill the cat."

"Are you refferring to me or (Y/N)?"

"Hmm? Practically the both of you. You two seem quite a meshed up pair," he then clasps his hands together and says with a feigning expression of kindness. "Ne, Taidana Surīpī Asshu.. (Sleepy Ash of Sloth) I have so many things to do. Places to be, dreams to raze and lives to ruin. See ya~!"

He disappears in puff of smoke, prompting the mists to disappear as well. The doors and possible exits busts open, both of you plastered confused expressions among your faces and exchanged glances.

"Gyyyaaa~!!" A yell from the halls echoes.

You and Kuro rushed out and followed the voice, you bursted in a classroom (yours, in fact) to see the Envy pair along with Rose and Mahiru. "Shirota, what's wrong?" You ran up to him.

Mahiru turns with his face freaked as he points over to your prominent classmates who were deeply asleep, surrounded or submerged by a herd of Monochrome's mists.

You ran up to your friends and touched their hands, they were cold. Which shocked you, are they dead? "They're cold." You tried shaking them, but that wasn't a useful option due to their unconscious bodies.

You turned to your Servamp, "Rose-chan.. are they dead?"

"(Y/N)-san!" Mahiru yelps, hugging Koyuki and Ryusei tight who were nearby. "Don't say that!"

"I just want to know!" You countered back and looked back at Rose, who sighed and kneeled down to your friend.

"She seems to be alive.. however, she's in a trance." Rose curtly blunts, holding your friend's hand softly. "Her life's draining.. I predicted this happened about an hour ago,"

"How are you sure?" Mahiru queries, walking up to Rose.

"Austere is.. very inevitable with lives and deaths.." Jeje mutters quietly, sitting on a chair. Which.. wasn't really the right size for him, too tall yet slender.

"True, like grim/soul reaper or some kind." Mikuni says.

Rose hones a glare at Mikuni who responds by shrugging. "Ahh~ ahh~ never thought I'd stumble into you two again," a familiar voice echoes through the room.

Dream Eater appears, sitting on a chair. He tilts his head to look at the trio, "well? How's the overhelling situation?"

Mikuni snickers, "it became even more hellish since you arrived!"

"Huuh? Then I'd bet you won't enjoy this,"

"But I would,"

"Huuh?" Dream Eater furrows his brows in confusion. But then appears behind Mikuni, Jeje had his guns ready.

Monochrome then picks Abel by head, "haah? You're in your twenties and you still have this damn little thing."

He appears once more, now sitting on the teacher's chair. Mikuni then freaks out, "don't! Abel is still innocent!" He yells.

"What is this thing anyway?" Monochrome plays with Abel's arms, waving them up and down out of curiousity. "Why do you humans have this?"

"You hentai! That's a doll!"

"A doll?" Monochrome chortles, "shall I burn it then?"

"Nooo!!" Mikuni's eyes went in fury, "Jeje! Punish him!"

Jeje got off his seat, mumbling. "I was waiting.. for you to say that.. knucklehead.. what took you long enough..?"

He lunges his barrel guns at Monochrome and starts to shoot him repeatedly. Monochrone scampers away from the chair with Abel being held on the head by his cane's tip, he dodges the bullets. Sliding down chairs, even hopping over them as he ran across the room.

"Hmm? You'll do anything for your so called 'doll', right?" Monochrome waves the doll around with his cane, he tossed it in the air as his cane disappears. His gauntlets that were made out of cloth turned into scaled ones. His right hand extends and plans to slash Abel. "Let's see how you are without it!"

Just when he was about to shred it, strings wrapped up around Abel and was dragged to you. You were using your second Lead, the gauntlet. You caught her in your hands and threw it to Mikuni, who sighed in relief.

"Weirdo.." you mumbled before Monochrome lunges at you, with his weapon changing into a saber and tries to stab you.

Kuro eventually appears and caught the saber's blade. Monochrome was unfazed, but twistedly amused. "Huhh? You caught it? My, Surīpī Asshu! I never imagined you have such power, Nii-sama!"

He kicks Kuro in the chest and made him pounce away. You raked at your injuried lover, who crashed on a wall. You wanted to run up to him, but Dream Eater's saber's tip reached to your neck.

He creases a cruel grin, "say.. Howaito, have you ever reconsider that you were once incarnated?"

"What?"

"Clueless you are! So stupid!" Dream Eater exclaims, "you're utterly ridiculous, aren't you!? Why don't you take a closer of who you are for once!?"

"What are you made of? Who are you really? Why were you born? What happened to your parents? What happened to your family?" These questions ran inside your head. He is right. You never knew what happened to your parents. In fact, you didn't seem to have any memories of them. But you knew that they loved you.

"Wh-Why are you telling this?" You furrowed your brows as your Lead morphed into a whip. You slashed it over the air as you demanded an answer.

Dream Eater had an expression of disbelief, "tch, I can't tell whether if you're being optimistic or stupid.." he scoffed, "Eves can't fight alone.."

You stayed silent and whipped your Lead at him, but he shot a ball of gray light, generated from his hand at you that caused you to pounce away and crash on a wall.

"(Y/N)!" Kuro ran to you, even though blood gushed out of body, he was still willing to run.

Several bruises were at your body, you sighed. "I hope these heal fast,"

"(Y/N), are you alright?" Kuro kneeled down to you, ignoring that Dream Eater was there.

"I-I'm fine, Ash.."

"Huuh? Love is very stupid," Dream Eater interrupts, walking closer by small steps. Each small step he makes, makes a trail of gray circles. "Gomenesai, Nii-sama. But I have to get rid of this girl," his gauntlets extends and plans to shred you.

Done! I've finished a chap. Like this! I'd hope you like it though, I'm not as talented as Abigail sometimes.
