"PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" the same pink-haired female shouts inside the store while pointing a gun at two figures, causing the woman in hold of the cashier and the consumer infront of her to both flinch in fear.

Both of the blond-haired guy and pink-haired female was wearing this weird looking 'wolf' masks, obviously to cover their identites. Even the guy the beside the pink-haired female had a gun on his hands.

"I knew it!" you bit your lip that was almost likely to bleed. You slowly creaked the door open at the store while making sure they don't see you.

"Quickly put your hands up or I'll shoot you without mercy!" the pink-haired female shouted again and the woman on the cashier and the consumer obeyed her and slowly raised their hands up in hesitation.

As you got in, you were hiding behind a table near the entrance door, the woman in the cashier noticed you but didn't said a word about you coming in so randomly. That's good.

You slowly peeked a glimpse on the sides of the table to the scene near you then you scanned the whole area you're in.

"Why are they inside a chocolate store? I thought that their goals are only for jewelry stores?" your thoughts flew in your mind.

You shooked off your head and focused on the present. You didn't had a gun with you so you can't just show yourself on the spot to the two criminals because you would possibly just get shot and be killed.

"Put all your money and jewelries inside this bag at this instant or I will definitely shoot you right now." the female spoke again while making a sound with the gun she is holding.

The woman who was in hold of the cashier trembles to speak, "J-Jewelries?.. I only have s-sweet chocolates in this store.."

You knew it. They must have thought that this was a jewelry store when its really not, its a chocolate store and if they are looking for money to steal first- its better to show yourself now at this moment.

Your legs stood up from the ground and as you did, you grabbed an umbrella in the basket full of umbrellas to be sold out in the store while running towards the criminals.

Once the two of them realized you caught them, they turned around and quickly used their guns at you. You dodged every one of bullet but as you got near the blonde-haired guy, he played a quick trick.

He raises his hands up and says, "O-Okay, fine. You win, I lose."

The pink-haired female beside him looks at him in shock, "Wait, what are you saying!?--"

Then he quickly shots you on the shoulder, you fell down and unconciously hit the back of your head near a wooden table. You heard a loud scream as you fell down.

Your vision got blurry and your mind was in pain, it was hard to get up. But you could hear the two criminals grabbing all the woman's money from the store before leaving. "Gosh damnit.. I failed.."

**

A few moments later, your eyes slowly opens and the first thing you saw after your vision stops being blurry was your brother, Kato and your other male friend, Kamei.

"(Y-Y/n)?! You're awake!" Kamei loudly says and Kato looks at you in relief. They quickly helped you stand up on your toes from the cold tiled floor.

Kato furrowed his eyebrows at you in disappointment. "What were you thinking, blockhead?! You just got yourself shot!--"

You cutted his phrase off as you touched the red liquid ruining your light polo and running down on your shoulder, and you tasted it.

The woman behind the two male, who is the owner of the store widens her eyes in surprise, "W-Why is she tasting her b-blood?!"

Kamei mirrors the woman's expression and looks at Kato with a worried face. "K-Kato-san.. your sister.. is a vampire!-"

"Its tomato ketchup." you said which made long string of silence that paused everyone in the room.

A second later, they all looked at you in annoyance and Kamei started blushing his cheeks at you, his probably embarrassed at saying that you were a 'vampire'.

Kato facepalms his forehead and quickly grabbed your wrist while stomping out from the store with fuming anger.

As you both left the store, you heard Kamei left the last while yelling, "Thanks for the chocolate ma'am!" with a grateful smile plastered across his face. You grinned at him.

Reality snapped back at you again as Kato gently pinched your nose in irritation. You looked at him with a small pout, "O-Ouch! Why you-"

He suddenly holds both your shoulders and stares at your dark pink-orbs, he looked badly serious. "There's nothing to grin or smile or laugh in here, blockhead! You made me think that you died just a minute ago! What the heck has gone in your silly mind--"

A smile twitched on your lips as you hugged him with your arms. He was startled at your action but after a few seconds flew by, he started hugging you too with his chin your shoulder.

Having an overprotective yet caring older brother might be annoying sometimes but you are really gratetful to have someone like Kato to look up to.

You broke the hug and suddenly kicks Kato's leg, your smile still not leaving your bleeding lips- you just noticed that you had a scar on it as you licked your lips, you tasted a faint feeling of blood.

Kato lost his balance as you kicked his leg but he was still standing. He looks at you with an annoyed expression and with his jaw dropped down on the ground. "W-Why did you-"

You kicked his leg once more causing your smile to widen more. "I'm thankful to have someone like you, idiotic brother but.."

Your expression shifts and you started slapping your brother's arm nonstop. "Quit being a fool sometimes! It was just tomato ketchup!!!" you shout at him.

He defensively tried to dodge all your slapping skills but he alreadly looked pretty hurt at all your random slaps on him. "H-How am I suppose to know that it wasn't really real blood?!" he shouts back.

"Then it just so means that you're a complete dumb fool!"

Kamei faked a cough at you two while placing his fist on his lips. "Uhm, guys.. are you really letting the two criminals get away?"
