Anonymous Adventures ep. 4

Episode 4: Change of Scene, Change of Episode

Somewhere out there, where our crew met a moronic fox girl wearing Satoko-chan's clothes. Now we see the two stooges, Lex Shadowrunner and Kaito Amadari, gawking at Drei while this fox girl is eating a slice of cake. (Especially Lex who, apparently, has temptations to pounce on Drei like a cat)

Lex: (slams fists on the table) I've had it! DREEII!!! (he suddenly runs towards the fox girl and hugs her.)
Drei-chan: EEEHH?!!

Hold on, are we doing this using the Role Playing format? No, wait. Imma set the format again.

FORMAT: Narrative form

--

Ehem, here we go. No wonder why Lex Shadowrunner would be running towards Drei the fox girl at this time. So what came next is this fox girl stealing a bicycle from a toddler and pedaled away.

"Where are you going?" Aika asks. Drei froze on her tracks.

"Please..." she fell on her knees as a spotlight shines on her chibified form. "Keep...Me...Away...From...Lollicons!!!"

"What do you mean?"

Drei pointed a shaky finger at Lex, who, definitely, has that same goofy face when he sees cute things/people. Out of nowhere, another guy named Zero fell out of the sky and shielded Drei.

"Back off, Lex! Drei's mine!"

Then Kaito also appears out of nowhere. "Hey, Lex and I agreed to hug her as long as we want to! You're not included in the picture, derp!"

"Who are you?" Aika asked the guy shielding Drei. Zero turned and smiled.

"The name's Zero! I'm a certified fan of cute things like this fox girl!"

"EH?!" Drei couldn't help but to freak out. She hid behind Aika and trembled. "Hide meee...."

Hikaru: (flashes a cue card)

"STOP SCREAMING!"

Drei: These two are really hurting me!

Ryuu: (eating Pocky) So?

Drei: PLEASE! RELEASE ME FROM THESE TWO LOLLICONS!

Ryuu: We're not done yet, squirt. We still have five minutes to get our commercial done.

Drei: WHAT?!

After the last five minutes of struggling, Drei is seen sprawled on the floor with swirls on her eyes. Lex and Zero ended up in an pillow fight while deciding which among them should have Drei for a week. The winner gets to decide to the duration until he gives up.

Aika: Alright, that's enough. Lex, Zero, you may now go back to the backstage and rest.

Lex/Zero: NO!

Aika: What do you mean "NO!"?!

Zero: Nuh-uh! Drei-chan's mine!

Lex: No, MINE!

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"SHE'S MINE! ALL MINE!"

"MIIIIINEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Ryuu: (facepalm) Fudge.... your...arguments...are....recorded...

Lex/Zero: Yeah, so?

Aika: Uhmm...please ignore the scene, everybody! We're experiencing technical difficulties here, ehehehe ^^;

Lex: Hey, the commercial is a success! It has great trivial experiences!!

Hikaru: (sighs and raises a cue card)

"STOP THE RECORDING"

Kaito: Whew...(turns off the camera) That was tough.

Then suddenly his eyes widened.

Aika: What's wrong, Kaito?

Kaito: (gulps) I-I think I-I did something really dumb. EXTREMELY DUMB!

All: What is it?

Kaito: I FORGOT TO LOAD THE CAMERA WITH TAPE!

(silence)

Drei: HOORAAYYY!!! >w<

Lex/Zero: (dark aura)

Kaito..... YOU IDIOT!!! -Lex
GAAAHH!! What a waste of effort! -Zero

Ryuu: That's good =w=

Kaito: But I recorded some parts in my phone =w=

Drei: EH?!

Kaito: Imma upload it on Facebrook! >8D

Anonymous Adventures ep. 3

Only one word can describe Aika: STUPID

"Uhhmm... just a sec~" she smiled at the two stooges. "I-I'll just check on her veeeery quickly. Be back in a jiff!~" She headed back to the bathroom away from Lex and Kaito, who had their eyes turned into yellow lasers. It seems those two are up to something...

Aika stammered as she stepped inside the bathroom. "U-uhh...little fox girl! Are you there?" She stepped forward to see if Drei is on the bath tub. To her horror, she was gone. You wouldn't be surprised to see a chibified Aika-chan on her knees under the spotlight.

"I can't believe I was too stupid for not locking the door! I can't believe I let that moronic fox girl escape and wander off her own!" Just then, the camera adjusts close to her face. "I just hope if I did lock the door, she could reach the door knob... she's a midget, remember..?"

The camera adjusts back to normal. Her chibified version stood under the spotlight, waiting for her to talk some more.

"Wait, what are we talking about again..?"

--

In the meantime, a girl named Satoko Mikagami read books about mythology and the supernatural. She's thirteen and a half years old and will be turning fourteen after five months. Just in case you wanna know what her birth month is, I'm afraid I can't tell you because the character wants it private...or else she's gonna summon a clothes iron to slam on my face with the letters: S.T.F.U.

Why did I intend to put her in this story? Because she sent me trolls on my Facebrook just to put her into this random story. She said she wants to look awesome.

You call this awesome then?!
Shut up. You're ruining my narrating session!


Moving on, this Satoko kid is busy reading books when a girl with purple hair tied in buns and green fox ears appeared behind her with a towel wrapped around her body. Her orange tail wagged slowly for attention. Satoko blinked and looked behind.

"Waah?!" she almost fell off her chair. "W-Who are you?! What are you doing in here?"

The fox girl sighed innocently. "Do you have any clothes?"
"Clothes?"
"Yah, that black-haired and blue-eyed meganeko left me behind and I accidentally soaked my clothes wet."
"Ohh... Aika-senpai? That's too bad." Satoko stood up. "C'mon, I'll lend you mine."
"You will?"
"Sure! I feel sorry for you..."

As they walked, Drei faced the audience and smirked.
"Aika-senpai, huh? She has a very weird and awesome name."

"Hmm? What was that?" Satoko interrupted.
"Oh, uhh... n-nothing! Carry on then, ehehehe~"

Moving on to the other side, we can see Aika-chan running all over the house in search for that moron fox girl who ran out of the bathroom. Because the meganeko herself was an idiot!

"Lemme guess, you forgot to lock the door." Ryuu smirked.

"Yah." she sighed. "But now because the author thinks I'm stupid, I'm gonna have to search for that little brat before she cause trouble."

Ryuu's green eyes widened when he saw Drei's wet clothes scattered on the floor.

"Wait... these are her only clothes, right..?"

"Uhmm...yeah?" When Aika knew what he meant, suddenly, she felt her hair standing on one end.

"Y-Y-You wouldn't mean...."

Ryuu sighed. "Tell me about it..."

--

RP mode:

Kaito: Lex, do you have the feeling Aika-chan's trying to hide our visitor from us?
Lex: Yeehhh (laser eyes)
Kaito: Well then, let's peek inside the bathroom!
Lex: CHAAARRGEEE!!

[question: where's your army?]

--

"Who are you, anyway?" Satoko asked again while browsing on her clothes. "You never told me your name."
The fox girl sighed. "My. Name. Is. Drei.You. Happy?"
"Drei?" she blinked. "You sure have a very weird name."

CRACK!


Drei felt a clap of thunder shock her head and electrocute her to death.

My...name...is...not...weird...


"Here you go!" Satoko tossed her the pile of clothes. "You can put them on. Tell me if they fit you."

"Ok~" Drei beams and heads back downstairs. She ran down the stairs when she sees Ryuu and Aika looking for her. She squeaked and hid behind a wall so she won't be seen by those two twerps. When they were gone, she headed back to the bathroom until...

"Holy Swiss Cheese!"

"Eh?"

Drei sees two back-haired guys. The first guy started blushing while the other one did as well. The guy named  Lex boost his LOLLICON morale as he went on running towards Drei.

"Omochikaeri, Miss Whoever You Are!" he squealed. Drei pulled out her emergency detector where the gadget dictated: LOLLICON ALERT! Get out immediately.

Knowing the consequences, she ran off, screaming without putting her new clothes on. Guess she's running with her towel wrapped around her.

I can't let anyone see me like this! she thought. I gotta find a place to hide!!!


"Hey, you're not gonna try to steal her, Lex!" Kaito yelled, running after him. "She's mine!"

"No, mine! I saw her first!"

Getting annoyed, Drei stopped and ran towards them. She used her bare feet to kick Kaito on a tender spot, while she kicked Lex so hard on the face he get so see her [censored]. Both guys collapsed on the floor with swirls replacing their eyes.

"That's one of the nicest things you've done for me, Miss Whoever You Are~" Lex said in a perverted manner. His face was red and of course, it's in a lollicon mood.

"He's...a...masochist...if...you...ask...me..." Kaito groaned.

Drei folded her arms on her chest. "I hate lollicons, especially this pervert." She proceeded to kick Lex by the stomach. "TAKE THAT! AND THAT! AND THAT!" She got so mad she rocket-punched them both, even if Lex endured the pain and still on his lollicon mode.

"Moreeee~"

"You want me summon the lady in pink pajamas or something?!"

Lex gasped. "NOO!!! Not that bloody lame crazy careless bitchy ghost!"

Drei took out her laser gun and pointed it at them. "You two are so dead."

"WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?!"

Aika appeared behind her. When she saw that Drei only has a towel, she couldn't help but to blush. When she saw the two guys, she blinked.

"What did you do to them?"

"What? I immobilized them! They're a bunch of stupid morons."

"Alright, Whoever You Are, since I see you holding Satoko-chan's clothes, you might as well put them on."

"Right here?"

Aika has to look at the other side when she sees Ryuu sitting on the window and eating Pocky.

"No." she said sternly. "You're not taking off your towel in front of a pervert."

She and Drei proceeded back to the bathroom to get dressed. Lex's nose bled when Ryuu kicked him on the side to wake him up.

"Now you saw the moronic fox girl, she's the visitor." he said. "And what are you doing lying on the floor?"

"She's...so...cute..." Lex said with a goofy smile. He suddenly rose and banged his fists on the door.

"I WANNA HUG HER! LET ME IN, AIKA!"

"Why is his nose bleeding?" Ryuu asked.

Kaito wiped his nose and toyed with his fingers. "That fox girl kicked him so hard on the face he saw her...you know...?"

When he knew what he meant, Ryuu's nostrils started to form red droplets. Oh no, not him....

"Wait a sec, do you know who that fox girl is?" Kaito asked.

Ryuu blinked his green eyes. "Umm... no. She never told us who she is."

Satoko appeared behind him. "She told me her name's Drei."

"Drei..? She possessed a very geeky name..."

"I'M NOT GEEKY!" Drei yelled from the bathroom.

One by One part IV

Miyako's execution is cancelled due to some unknown reasons. She was transferred inside a room where she could rest instead. The box where the two bloody corpses lay were brought somewhere in an isolated area beside the deserted shrine where Harugii Aika was disemboweled. Otome reopened the box where she finds the bodies of Ryuu and Aika drenched in dried blood. The men grabbed their shovels and started digging.

The corpses were buried deep. The next day, the whole village mourned for the loss of both siblings. They were loved. They will always be remembered.

--

Six weeks after the improper burial (yet no one knows where they were buried), Miyako was set free and the executions were cancelled for good. She and Hikaru were sent back to their homes for better safety.

Otome sat on her table and browsed the untouched files of the Harugiis. They were known for their intelligence. But what bothered her is how did they get those abilities to unlock secrets. Of course she wanted the village chief to own the village as the personal paradise, but how did they know everything? They never sneaked inside the main hall, nor did they brought recorders. This matter is a mystery.

The woman slammed the folders on the table, frustrated. They're dead... but those mysteries of their life are bothering her. She wants to know everything. She sighed and went to the Matsumoto residence. When she knocked on the door, it was Hikaru, one of the survivors, and Aika's companion before she was killed. Otome decided to ask the girl a few questions.

"You're Matsumoto Hikaru-san, am I right?"
"Uhmm.. yes?"

Otomo let out a small cough. She opened the folders and revealed the picture of Aika on her file. "You were with this girl inside your home. How are you related?"
Hikaru bit her lip. "She's a friend of mine... why?"
"How about this guy?" she showed the picture of Ryuu. Hikaru gasped and twitched.

"H-He..." she stammered. "H-he's the guy you brutally murdered!"
"Why, he and his sister were brutally murdered. They deserve to die after the riot they caused in our village. Their mysterious intelligence is causing stress to the congress." she said in her most business-like tone. "They are executed and are charged from illegal and false generalizations against the public."

"Ryuu was right!" This time, Hikaru is raising her voice. "Why are you using us villagers as your slaves?! We're not born to be treated like dogs! We have the right to demand independence!"

Otome fumed. "It is from the public law that you should not break the orders, or else be sent to the torturing shrine and be disintegrated."

"So what? We don't care if any of us will be killed. You can't make this village the chief's personal paradise forever. He should at least deal with us fairly."

"There's nothing you can do, Matsumoto-san." the woman shook her head. "If you are sticking with the Harugiis, I'm afraid you can't anymore. They're dead. They don't exist. They're buried six feet underground and their bones would have been brittle and dead under the soil!"

Hikaru balled her hands into fists. "Yeah, yeah, you shoved their dead bodies inside a box instead of a proper burial."

"Exactly. They were buried beside the shrine where Aika-san was executed. It's so sad Ryuu-chi endured all the pain and died so he can be with her. The execution is an absolute success."

"You just don't want your secrets to be revealed, right?! You're doing everything to make this village all yours and turn the villagers into dogs!"

Otome gritted her teeth and stood up, dropping the folders on her feet. "You better watch that mouth of yours, kid. Or else I'll send you to the local discipline committee."

"Go on, send me there! That'll make me prove everyone that the death of the Harugiis is an injustice!"

The woman grimaced. "You fucking piece of shit, taking me lightly like that."
Hikaru flinched from her curse. Otome approached her and grabbed her by the neck.

"A legal-aged kid like you should be taken to the police!" she yelled. "Why do you defend the Harugiis so much?! Can't you see our quest was a success? With those two little brats gone, the village will be in peace once again and NO ONE WILL EVER TRY TO RUIN THE CHIEF'S IMAGE AGAIN!"

Hikaru grabbed her arm and struggled for air. Unfortunately, there's nothing, not even an obstacle to snatch for retaliation. Otome's lips formed a slow psychotic grin.

"No one can protect you now, girlie. It's just you and me now."

Hikaru slapped her arm away and staggered backwards. She massaged her neck and inhaled some air.

"Get out of my house!" She screamed, grabbing a stool beside her and raising it up. "Get out! OR ELSE!"

Otome smirked. "Huh. Looks like you have some strength there." she said with a sinister chuckle. "Of course I'll get out of your house." then she pulls out a knife.

"...RIGHT AFTER I FINISH YOU OFF!"

The woman lunged at her. But Hikaru threw the stool and the woman dodged. Hikaru ran towards the kitchen and searched in the drawers for knives. The table stood between them as Otome motions her to come over.

"Come closer. Hikaru-chan." she says teasingly. "I'll leave you alone after I ask you a favor."

"There's no way I'm gonna fall for that trick."

"It's a quick favor, darling." she chuckled. "Come on now, don't be shy."

"Never..." Hikaru mumbled under her breath. She stared daggers with the woman, who is skirting around the table and approaching her. She raised the knife and Hikaru saw that her face became more psychotic than before. Her iris has shrunk and her mouth had a wide grin.

"Tehehehehe, I told you to come over, right??? I TOLD YOU TO COME!"

Hikaru trembled and made her run. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" As Otome chased her, the girl found her room, prepared to slam it shut, when she saw fingers pushing it back.

"AAAHHH!"

"You think you can escape now, ha?!" Otome said, her voice have gone raspy. "You'll convince the villagers about the injustice! And you'll be the cause of our downfall!"

Hikaru grunted and pushed back. "I said..." She hissed furiously while pushing. She watched Otome's fingers curl around the wooden door until it was close to the door frame. Her chest tightened as she tightened her own fingers around the knob.

"Gaahh!!"

The woman let out a bloodcurdling screech. Her fingers are tightly stuck in the door because of Hikaru's force.

"GET OUT!" the girl yelled. "GET OUT!"

"YOU LOUSY LITTLE BRAT!" Otome shrieked. "I'm not finished with you!"

"GET OUT!"

Hikaru sees the woman's fingers strangled, the skin turning red... then purple. The finger-strangling ended when Otome let out another cry... after a sudden swing of a blade.

Hikaru loosened her grip, and to her horror, the woman's severed hand fell on the floor.

What the?!


As she looked up, Otome is on her buttocks, her knife dropped on the floor and her right hand missing. Who could have done this? Blood is on the floor. Otome is blurting out curses. There's no one in the house but the two of them.

"Hikaru..."

A faint voice echoed on her ear. She looked behind Otome and saw a shadowy figure. It was holding a blood-stained cleaver (hatchet) and is wearing a a silver vest, purple shirt, dark and bluish-green skirt... and a pair of glasses.

Hikaru;'s sky blue eyes widened.. mixed with horror and surprise.

"A-Aika..."

The ghostly figure of Aika put a finger on her lips. Otome, not aware what was behind her, glared at her grudgingly.

"You're lucky you're saved." she hissed. She used her free hand to fish out her phone. "I'll call the headquarters to get in here and sentence you for execution!"

Hikaru didn't say anything but to stare at Aika holding the cleaver.

"What's wrong? You're not gonna say anything? Or I'm gonna --- UGHH!"

Her head started to bleed when the cleaver made its way at the center of her skull. Otome's eyes bled and her iris shrunk, going up to her head until Hikaru can see the white part. One eye then fell out of the sockets, as her tongue lolled and huge drops of blood dripped from her broken teeth. Aika pulled off the cleaver and put it back again, this time almost chopping off her skull. Hikaru couldn't help but to tremble on her legs from what she's seeing.

Otome's limp body fell on the pool of blood.

"A-Aika, you are --"

But the girl put her finger on her lips again. She simply nodded, turned to her left, and disappeared through the wall. Hikaru, half terrified and half relieved, hurried downstairs to get some of the extra garbage bags. She did all her effort to shove the body inside the bag and tie it into a knot. She hopped out of her bedroom window and threw the bag somewhere far away from her house. She hurried back home and used a mop to clean up the pool of blood before her parents arrived.

Right before her eyes, Harugii Aika appeared again, which got her hitting her back on the wall.

"You're safe now..." she said. "Onii will take care of the rest...."

Before she could say anything, the meganeko vanished like dust the moment Hikaru blinked. She wanted to thank her dead friend that she killed that psychotic woman. But what about the files she left behind? She has to keep them securely in her drawer before her parents see them...

Anonymous Adventures ep. 2

Usually, this little Eevee would wander in the area and morph into her human form. With the same green fox ears and the orange tail. She wears a white collared shirt with the sleeves rolled and green vest. A cute red ribbon is tied at the chest level and she wears a black skirt. She had a pair of white knee socks with tiny ribbon designs. Her school shoes are unique. Instead of the leather strap, it is designed with a red ribbon.

Only she has one weakness.
One word:

LOLLICONS!

YEAH! That's right! Her extreme cuteness is driving everyone wild. This little fox girl is named Drei, created by her owner two years ago. Her purple hair is tied into small buns but half of her hair is down, making her look child-like and cute.

Now she found a house where two siblings are constructing something. The orange-haired dude has that smirk on his face, and that black-haired meganeko with him has that worrying face. Unfortunately, the redhead saw her.

"Oww, looks like we have company."

Drei yelped and hid behind the tree. She's too late (HAHAHAHA!) and that lousy redhead is approaching. Drei jumped inside a bush before that stupid-looking guy will see her.

Who are you calling stupid?!


Duh-uh. YOU! Who else could it be?


"Ryuu, what are you doing?" the meganeko asked.

"I thought I saw a lolli here somewhere." Ryuu replied, now searching inside the bushes. Drei gulped and grabbed a raccoon, using it as a bonnett, and the mammal has that confused look on his face ("Wtf?"). Ryuu pried more. Drei found herself falling on a puddle of mud, and which made the two teenagers catch their attention. The meganeko named Aika ran past her brother and saw the purple-haired fox girl with the raccoon on her face.

"OMG! She's a fox!"
"Whut?"

Aika waved at her brother. "C'mon! Quick! She's a half fox and a half human!"

Ryuu walked past his sister and sees the unconscious Drei. He placed his hands on his hips. "Never seen one before. but we sure are lucky."

"She looks dirty and hurt, we should nurse her back to health."

With this, Ryuu carried the stupid-looking fox girl and inside the house. Aika told him to throw the fox girl straight inside the bubble-filled bath tub after taking her clothes off.

"Wait, you want ME to take her clothes off?" Ryuu asked with the shocked look on his face. Aika was alarmed to this as she smacked her brother out of the bathroom.

"Whatever, just get out! I'll strip her off since we're both girls!"

"Hey! She's a half animal! You might see animal fur on her nana!"

Drei woke up when she heard the censored word for a female genital organ. "What?!"

Aika blinked. "You can talk?"

The fox girl got up on her feet. "Of course I can, you idiot! I'm a half human!"

"Oww...okay." the meganeko nodded slowly. "Sorry about that earlier. My brother thinks you have animal fur on your genital part and has turned into a full-time pervert."

"I HEARD THAT!"

"WHAT? It's true! You said it in the first place!"

Drei folded her arms on her chest. "Hmph, I don't have animal pubic hair, unlike humans like you who have during their puberty."

Wait... when did we end up talking about puberty?

"Somewhere you'll have when you reach puberty." Aika concluded as she yanked the fox girl's green vest. "Let's take your clothes off. You look really dirty and you need a bubble bath."

Drei protested, slapping her hand away. "Ohhhh-no! You are not undressing me!"

Aika sighed in annoyance. "It's fine if you undress yourself. I'm a girl, and you're a girl, too! Nothing's wrong about it!"

The fox girl pointed at the door. "Well, that pervert over there is staring at us and you forgot to look that stupid door!"

Aika looked behind and discovered she was right. Ryuu is there staring at them and waiting for her to undress the idiotic-looking fox creature. She fumed and kicked the door, making it smack straight on Ryuu's face. The door slammed shut and she clicked the lock.

"There, happy?"

Drei smiled. "Great! I'll just undress mah-self!" Then she starts to. Aika adds more bubble bath shampoo on the bath tub, a rubber ducky, a Domo-kun plushie and a toy baby head that seems a little disturbing.

"Hey, Aika!" Ryuu's voice echoed from behind the door. "Make sure to tell me if that fox girl has a flat chest!"

"SHUT UP!!"

"What?! You're flat-chested like she does, duh!"

"No I'm not! Since when did you start talking about breasts?!"

"Nothing's wrong with it. Besides, I've seen you reading that puberty magazine."

Aika's face flushed. Drei is blinking at her and had jumped into the bubble bath.

"You sure you can shampoo and wash yourself?" she asks. The fox girl nods.

"Sure~ you have conditioner?"

"Uhmm... yeah." Aika handed her the towel and heads out of the bathroom to search for Ryuu. Drei shrugged and bathes herself.

--

"So, who's this visitor you're talking about?" a guy named Lex asks, he somehow resembles Aika's appearance, only he doesn't wear glasses and his black hair is in a very masculine look, unlike Aika's long and dark one.

"Nah... it's just a flat-chested fox girl." Ryuu replied. "She looks like a moron to me."

"Whoa.." Lex's friend, Kaito Amadari, widened his eyes in surprise. "She'll take that as an insult."

"Who cares? It's true, anyway. Not even a single puberty bump or even animal fur."

This caused Lex and Kaito to spit out their drinks.

"A-Animal fur?!"

Ryuu felt patronized. "What? You know those fur to cover the Thing on the girl?"

Kaito abruptly wiped his mouth clean. "Why do you have to bring that up?!"

"A fox girl, huh?" Lex said with a kitty face. "I think I wanna hug her if I see her."

"Hey, that's my line!"

"I said it first!"

"Nuh-uh! I'll have her first!"

Ryuu shook his head. "A lollicon duo." He said while staring at the audience.

The door slammed open, and Aika appeared on the door engulfed in angry flames.

"Ryuu................!!!"

Lex and Kaito twitched at the sight of the girl in combustion. "A-A-Aika?!"

"What did you say about me?" she hissed furiously. Ryuu simply stared at her from behind.

"I said you're flat-chested. What's wrong with that?"

"Well, you should at LEAST keep your mouth shut than embarrassing me in front of that stupid-looking fox girl!"

"Stupid-looking?!" Lex sound offended.

"Don't you dare insult cute girls!" Kaito added.

"Umm... she looks like a moron to me." Aika says. Lex sighed.

"Yaahh... Ryuu just mentioned that recently."

"And yeah, it's a fox girl, alright. If you find her really cute, better summon a Ryuuguu Rena to take her home."

"NUH-UH! I ain't gonna let that psychotic cleaver girl take our lolli home!" Lex yelled. "Just tell us where she is!"

"She's taking a bath."

"Is the door locked?" Kaito asks. Then Aika gulps...because it wasn't. (uh-oh)

Sadomasochism

"You want some more..?"
Cough. Cough. "S-sure. Go on."
Jab. Pull. Spill.
"Another one?"
Cough. Sniff. "Hai..."
Jab. Pull. And endure the pain.

The connections of these two siblings are one. Something called Sadomasochism, which means the combination of sadist and masochist. Reasons are unknown. They formed these personalities and started doing them into practice for some reasons. Nobody knows why Ryuu would enjoy inflicting pain, while Aika would enjoy the receiving of pain.

This is absolutely not a threat. Nor was it a dare. It's actually real.

The story behind this situation is long. I'll just summarize it.

Aika Harugii was given a punishment. She and her brother have gone into some kind of fight and it is right now that they are not speaking to each other, just the way they liked it both. Aika would give out blank expressions and her eyes have become lifeless. Ryuu remains as he's used to be, only erasing Aika from his memory. It's been really long since he saw her cry. After their terrible fight, she never showed any sign of sadness and pain. She bowed her head down and muttered: "Gomen." before leaving.

They remained like this for several months, even though no one can live alone like that. Few people found out the reason behind their fight. Something about grave misunderstandings and mixed feelings. It is very personal and no one has the right to know about it. They were heard bickering outside their dorm rooms until Ryuu's strong words and curses boomed the corridors. Aika wasn't saying anything but to endure the pain.

--

Knowing that the lies are getting exposed, Ryuu Harugii is getting really irritated. Who could be the person causing all this? One word: Aika. She can be talkative. Their reputation is never their concern because they don't really care. Nor was it important to them.

Because of the misunderstandings of the people around them, both of them are like "endangered" and would be having cases of house arrests. Despite people automatically setting their eyes on them when they're around,  both have to shake the tension off. Until later the rumors are starting to piss Ryuu off. Aika is acting like nothing happened.

Lies. Lies. Lies!

--

"You really got a big mouth, don't you?"
"What..?"
"I know what you're thinking. But hey, you're fund of lies."
"N-no! I'm not like that! And I never said anything!"
"How did everybody find out?"
"I... I don't know. I just heard them spreading rumors."
"Hmph, really?"
"Promise... I didn't."
"Usoda."

"Seriously, I don't know anything about it. Why do you keep on telling me?"
"Because you're a liar. So what?"
"I would die if I do..."
"That's the thing! Someday, you will."
"I would never give up my life for a piece of crap..."

"Huh. It's not like I want you to regret it. But let's face it. When you know you are lying, you admit the truth. But it seems you're hiding something from me."
"I'm telling you again that I'm not!"
"Oh yeah? If you're so honest, prove it."
"I'm sorry... I don't have all day..."

"See? You're beginning to defy me now!"
"I... I'm sorry, Ryuu! I don't think I can stand you anymore."
"If it is confronting you want, I'm right here."
"Go on... I can't wait."

"When did I ever grow up with a sister with a distorted mind?"
"... ..."
"We did trust each other back then. But then she starts spacing out instead of hanging out. I would usually hear stuff about her harassed by the guys out there and they attempted to get rid of her innocence and destroy her dignity. Then because of her, the whole school knows that she's a scum."
"... ..."
"So far, I hardly see her cry now, especially when she's right in front of me, and now, it's not because she dared me, but it is my chance to let it all out than saying them behind her back. I'm sure she'll listen. Slowly, she has gone obnoxious and got a lot of people bitching about her."
"... ..."
"Well? Aren't you gonna say anything?"
"That would be all?"
"Why? You want some more?"
"I... I think that's enough for today..."
"Last words: is it okay if we'll be siblings only by the name?"
"... ... hai. It's for real... I'm not into games."

--

That was it. The next days Ryuu's words became coarse. He ended up hurting his sister's feelings even when she shows no emotion and storing all the pain in her chest. It felt really good to be degraded by a sibling. Of course it does...

Her eyes have gone completely lifeless. Ryuu would be expecting Aika losing herself and acting abnormally when she wasn't. He wants to see how she is doing spending her happy moments alone and solitary. Soon he never ever made regrets, because for him it was the right thing to do. She deserves it.

"If you hate her so much, why do you have to insult her like that?"
"So? She asked for it."
"I dunno... it looks like you did made her lifeless. She moves like a doll brought to life."
"Yeah, so?"
"Hmph, abusing her verbally, huh? You'll make things worse when you do it physically. And that is an improper way to treat a female."
"I told you. She asked for it. I never did it to a girl before. She was the first."
"Well, have it your way... besides, Aika's not really showing her emotions."

--

Aika sat alone inside the detention room. She was given a detention for complete five to six hours due to personal absences. A roll of parchment is given to her and a red quill. The teacher never gave her an ink bottle, because she said it is not needed. Aika wondered why. She was told to write a promise formed into one phrase repeatedly for three parchments back to back. Aika sighed and started writing, and slowly red ink appeared.

I will not tell lies. I will not tell lies.


As she wrote, she felt a sting at the back of her right palm. She wrote the second same phrase and then the skin on her hand started forming the same handwriting as hers:

I will not tell lies.


There it was. The phrase that etched itself on her skin. I will not tell lies. It was then she realized it wasn't ink on the parchment, nothing but her blood.

Knowing she deserves it, she continued writing and enduring the pain... until her entire hand is bleeding. She fought back the tears stinging her eyes. She finished the front part and turned it over to fill up the back. A smile spread across her face as she saw the sight of her own blood used as ink. And the etched wound on her skin deepening. Blood started spilling from her hand when her session went on like that for four hours. She has two more hours to go before going back to her dorm.

I will not tell lies.
I will not tell lies.
I will not tell lies.
I will not tell lies.
I will not tell lies.


--

Ryuu attended one of his night classes and confidentially did he had Aika in the same room where he is. He ignored her presence as if she's invisible. Aika remained lifeless and silent, with her books stacked on her desk. Nobody seems to notice her, anyway.

As the teacher explains the lecture, Ryuu got bored, especially when it is in the middle of the period. His eyes went on Aika, her hands flat on her lap and her eyes still lifeless. But his gaze grew suspicious when he saw her right hand bandaged.

Heh. She's cutting herself... nice job. he rolled his eyes and averted them from her.

"I heard Aika-chan got a detention... something about writing something on a parchment and making one promise..."
"Really..? I feel sorry for her. She's been acting strange lately. She didn't notice her bandage getting completely stained with blood. I hope she brought a roll of bandage."
"She did but... she haven't been setting her eyes on her hand just once."
"I mean, her entire hand! She couldn't be cutting herself, could she?"
"I don't think so... I mean, it's coming from the back of her palm!"

Aika got annoyed from the bustling. She stared at her bandaged hand. It was completely covered in blood. The adhesive tape is wearing off. Before she could take her roll of bandage, the blood-stained cover fell on the floor, then everyone gasped.

"What the heck is that written on her hand?!"
"I... I have no idea!"
"OH MY GOD!"
"Harugii-san! What's that?!"

Aika hesitated, grabbed her roll of bandage, and strode out of the classroom. When she went past Ryuu, she couldn't help but wince. Her free hand is holding the bleeding hand until it is stained with blood. Ryuu got impatient and followed her all the way to the dorms.

"Hey, you! Stop right there!"

The girl ignored him. She made it to her door and barged in. Only when Ryuu was quick enough to get in and see the bleeding mark on her hand.

"What are you doing in here?!" she demanded. "Why are you following me?"

"What's that in your hand?" he asked sternly. He abruptly grabbed her arm and read the phrase: I will not tell lies. on the skin. A smirk spread across his face. "So, you're making a promise during the detention. And it's this!"

Aika shot him a glare. "You don't know how it is done, Harugii-san. Face detention and you'll see."

Ryuu seemed surprised. "Calling me by my last name? Guess you're really treating me as someone else."

"We're only siblings by name, remember? Only by the stupid law..." she hissed.

"Yes, I know. It's a good thing you realized your mistake. Your obnoxious fucking mistake." He said with a demonic glance. "This thing will remain on your skin forever! I like that! Do you want to feel the real pain?"

"H-huh...?"

With a strong push, she landed straight on the floor, wincing. Ryuu pulled out something that he always kept on his pocket. His knife. Aika couldn't help but to smile. The guy knelt down and gave her another demonic stare.

"Since I've been abusing you verbally, wouldn't it be nice to do the physical mode?"

"S-sure... just do what you want..!" she winced. "I don't care about me anymore.. I don't want to accept you as my brother anymore!"

Ryuu was not offended. He showed no expression as he raised the blade. "Tell me if you're ready."

"I... I am." Aika gives in with a nod. Then she felt the knife jabbed strongly at the side of her waist. The girl gritted her teeth. The first stab felt very painful.

"Does it hurt?" Ryuu asked blankly. His green eyes staring at her coldly, but no expression of content and sinister.

She bit her lip. "N-not quite..." Then he stabbed her again, this time on her chest. He dug deep through when he saw Aika shedding tears.

Ah, finally. She's crying.


"Does it still hurt?"

The girl sniffed. "A.. a little... some more." Stab. And then blood started leaking on her lips. Every stab she asked for more. Ryuu did what was told, with the same cold and blank face. The blood is now staining the floor. Every second she can't take it anymore. Ryuu stabs her again, this time on her stomach and has the full attempt to cut it open.

"Hmm, I suppose I should rip it open." he says. But before he could, Aika started crying, and tears streamed openly from her eyes.

"STOP! PLEASE!" she sobbed. "NO MORE, PLEASE! IT REALLY HURTS!"

Granting her command, he paused. He could see the tears on her eyes. After all, Aika is a crybaby. She had enough stab wounds. He leaned onto her ear and whispered:

"I'm sorry I killed my one and only little sister. And I promise I will never ever regret this... should I end her life now?"

Aika couldn't help but to cry. "Yes, yes! End Aika Harugii's life! She's filthy, alright! She always wanted to be killed and leave her pesky brother for good!"

"Very well then." Ryuu says as he jabs the blade onto her stomach to tear it open. Aika's eyes shrunk. She let out those blood gurgling sounds until her iris ascended, only showing the white. As blood spilled the floor, Ryuu showed no sign of regret. He stood up staring at his sister's dead body, and holding the blood-stained knife on his hand. Knowing this is Aika's death without saying goodbye, he again knelt and carried her bloodied corpse in his arms.

I'll dig you a grave not too far away. You don't deserve a proper burial. he thought. But always remember, even if we're siblings by law and the name, you'll always be my sister.


Remember that.

Anonymous Adventures ep. 1

We'll start the day with the innocent morning sun shining uber bright in the blue sky. Over dramatic phrase much. OK. We'll simply start this effing episode with two people sitting on the garden and... what's this? What in the name of Merlin's beard are these two doing early in the morning?

"Are you done?" a female voice asks
"Just a few touches." A male voice replies. He seems to be doing something the audience is curious about and the female seems to be curious, too, as well. "I'll finish this thing in no time!"
The female sighed. "Please tell me that's absolutely NOT another crap experiment again."
The guy gives her a smirk. "Relax, sis, no need to give me that mothering personality."

It is proved that these two woke up at exactly 3:30am just for another experiment. And their little brother believed at exactly 3:00am is the feast of the ghosts, which is another superstitious belief that doesn't exist here in the real world. Whoever STILL believes in this crap belief, I'll be honest to tell you that you're at the OTHER side of the world.

(And if you have more "good" explanations about this matter, save them for now. I don't have all day to answer your ludicrous questions and end up creating a debate session.)

"Gimme that cleaver over there."
"WHAT?! You're using MY stuff?!"
The male winced. "JUST GIVE ME!"
The female rolls her eyes and hands over a deadly weapon that serves as her personal possession. "Fine. Here."
After a few screws, the experiment was a... success! Very... interesting. Ehehehe...

Don't expect the guy to go "TA-DA!!! MY VERY OWN EXPERIMENT OF SUCCESS!", or "Mwahahahaha! At last! My evil experiment is complete!" or "I reveal... the Persecutor!!!...enator ." or even "Hallelujah!" Because the guy doesn't give out those annoying phrases. He simply threw the stuff away and stared at the project they made.

A super secret security camera with super cool and unique features with the exact number of 5000 uses!

"The uses are obvious." the guy says with a smug. "With this, we can pass through exposure!" he poses with a sadistic grin that will sure result that the audience have turned white from his accent and his facial expression. The female says nothing but shows off a semi-poker face.

"Sooo... where should we start?" she asks.

"Anytime. No one would even know about our secret spy than us."

After they discussed about their latest project, they made an agreement never to let anyone know (except you, reader, since you're reading this already) about this TOP SECRET THING. Then they turn to the audience with the most priceless faces.

You know what I mean.

"I'm Ryuu. You don't have to know about our family name." the guy says blankly at the audience.
"I'm Aika. Nice meeting you all." the girl says with the same manner.

And there you have it. Now you know them.

Oh, it's 7:30am. Time for school, bed. They spent the entire four hours acting like evil scientists and they seriously need their rest. Who needs school, anyway? Oyasumi nasai! Hope you'll have a good sleep!

BS: Changes

Everybody knew they'll change. Everybody knew something is not right. Everybody knew there'll be a repulsion. And everybody knew they'll stand against each other
What gives?

Aika is very loyal. How can SHE be a liar? She never lied to anyone, even to her brother. She fairly deals with others. She respects everyone the same way they respect her. She never gave rude comments and insults.

But everything has changed. When she and her brother were brought to this school to terminate students. Taught the use of syringes and weapons to terminate violent and mind-distorted students. And self-taught to do violent acts as well.

But then, as time passes, something IS not right at all.

Ryuu will suddenly vanish and Takashi-sensei will always see him walking in complete darkness with blood blotched all over his face and clothes. A blood-stained blade dropped on the ground and his eyes, instead of green, were red... and the iris are black, like cat's eye. Takashi would see his mouth always drenched in blood, determined that Ryuu is on a bloodlust.

He does NOT have fangs. He does NOT bite a victim's neck for sake of blood. He kills his victims with reason. Blood will be spurted everywhere and he will savour the taste of blood. That is WHY he'll be seen walking and his blood-stained hand on his lips.

When Ryuu saw Aika, he knew she'll freak out. The cherubim inside her is dying. She'll become a coward. But Takashi-sensei she'll FIGHT it. She'll fight the cherubim and REPLACE it with a demon.

Since a demon rests inside Ryuu, fate predicts the demon soul will be broken into two...for them to share.

But what can they do to MAKE it into two?

Without the witness of students, Aika killed three students. With reason. She narrated about her assault because the guys were harassing her and wanted to rape her outside the campus. She used the dagger she brought and slit through their stomachs. She even killed the last guy by jabbing the blade through his head.

Aika cried after her brutal murder of three guys. Ryuu saw her covered in blood but was not surprised or shocked. Because he was, too.

...

"How many?"
"Three...how about you?"
Snort. "Almost the entire gang."

...

What can THEY do to split the demon souls apart to become two?

One by One part III

"This is it..."
"It will be over."


The men chained Ryuu's hands on a wooden log constructed into a cross shape. The troops revealed Aika's bloodied corpse to him. The death of his sister confirmed him he'll be next. He knew it will be over. He wanted this... this will sure end everything. He saw the reserved space just for him.

He'll be finally resting in peace... with his sister.

Ryuu saw Aika's pale eyes half closed. The cut on her stomach. Her guts and intestines. Her blue eyes now losing color. He knew he'll be dead next to her. He felt sorry he left her to die. But right now, he'll be killed.
On the west side, Miyako is imprisoned inside a cell. Her blonde hair have gone messy and tangled. She just wore an untidy dress. Her fingers grasped on the metal pipes. When she saw Aika dead, her heart pounded wildly. Aika was... her best friend. Now she's brutally killed...

"Aika-chan..." she trembled.

Now Ryuu's next. She grew scared, and trembled in horror.

N-no... n... not Ryuu-kun! she thought, her eyes widening in terror. T-t-t-they can't kill him! H-h-he...


The chief's assistant arrived. It was a middle-aged woman. Kazuya Otome. The chief sent the responsibility to slay Harugii Ryuu. Her heels pounded on the floor as she approached. She placed her hands on her waist with a mocking grin.

"Hello there, Ryuu-chan," she grinned. "Long time no see, eh?" She looked into his emerald and bitter eyes.

"Otome..." he winced.

The woman chuckled. "Fufufu~ isn't that adorable? Ryuu-chi always wanted to be next to Aika-chama. Ahahaha!" she let out a cutesy laugh. Otome's grey eyes glistened towards him and chuckled again. "Ryuu-chan, how was our surprise attack? Hmm?"

The male redhead snorted. "Lame."

The woman doesn't seem insulted. She just laughed. "You're lucky we didn't mummify you like your dear little sister. But since you are known to be aggressive and resourceful compared to your innocent and passive sibling, we're gonna do it the other way." One of her troops handed her a blade. A dagger. A mad smile spread across her face.

"You..." she hissed. "You destroyed our reputation! You made the entire village stand up against us! You turned our lives into misery! You and your filthy sense of wisdom!" she yelled. She pressed the tip of the blade lightly on his chin. "Now, now, Ryuu-chan. No need to fidget."

But he was not. He just gave a bitter stare. Otome prevented from baring her teeth.

"So... tough guy, eh?" she smiled maliciously. "How about we put you to sleep while tearing you limb from limb? What do you say?"

Ryuu suddenly realized something.

"Ha. So that's how you killed Aika, eh?!" he said in his cold and serious tone. "Sedating her so she won't have any slightest clue she got killed!"

Otome flinched as she forced a smile. "Ohohoho! Very good, Ryuu-chan~! Aika-chi is forcing her eyes opening even though the sedation is complete. Our men cut through her skin and did some dissection for sacrifice. She's very weak and... brave."

Ryuu smirked. "You know. You guys are a bunch of scaredy-cats. You're scared because everyone will turn against you once they found out you're only using us as tools. It's for the chief's personal paradise that valued absolutely nothing but filthy crap."

Otome clenched the dagger on her fingers. "You got a sharp tongue there, Ryuu-chan." she said with a mad grin. "It's obvious you already know why we brought you here, huh?"

"Duh? To kill me. What else could it be?"

Ugh... this boy's starting to disgust me. she thought. Her fingers grasped around the hilt of the dagger. "If you want to get your final wish granted, say your last words, Ryuu-chan. You'll die peacefully like your sister. She's waiting for you~"

But Ryuu retorted. "Die peacefully? Huh. Who do you think I am? A baby? Aika forced her eyes open because she wants to see you tearing up her skin so she won't forget it!"

Otome smirked. "Really? She was screaming helplessly. We even got it in here," she pulled out a tiny remote with a red button. She pressed her thumb as she stepped sideways, revealing a holographic screen. Ryuu watched in silence.

The men uncovered the bag and revealed a struggling Aika inside. They tied ropes on her wrists and ankles. They tied a handkerchief around her mouth still opened as they broke her glasses. But before they proceeded to their dissection, Otome appeared on the scene, holding the same dagger. She was mocking Aika while his sister just glared back.

Just as when Otome started talking, Aika was screaming. She was struggling from the ropes but she failed. Getting annoyed, Otome stated stabbing her left wrist. The girl's blue eyes widened as tears started leaking. She struggled from strangled shrieks. Otome felt overjoyed from her screams.

"A..aaagghh...." Aika managed to mouth out.

"HAHAHAHA! Does it hurt? HUH?! It's very pleasant!" Otome laughed like a maniac.

"Ta.... t-t-t... t-t-tassu..."

Ryuu felt rage. He was there in the crime scene. But... he didn't hear her screams. She was... screaming for help. But one thing that he did was... he only hid somewhere and yet he only saw her, she was already dead...

"T-t-tass....k-ke-e..."

Tasukete... tasukete.... tasukete.... tasukete....


Help...


Help me...


Tasukete... o-onii...


"Don't feel anything anymore on your left?" Otome mocked again. This time, she proceeded to her right wrist. Blood was everywhere. Aika is screaming again. Otome started stabbing her several times on her pulse. What Ryuu saw is... they didn't sedate her. Otome was stabbing her tremendously when the dissection begun.

"Tas... tasu...kete... R-Ryu..."

The screen faded. He was back in reality.

Otome's heels pounded on the floor. She gave the remote back to the men as she held the very same dagger stained with Aika's blood.

"Usoda..." Ryuu hissed. Liar!


"Me? A liar?" she asked. "Why would I?"

"You said you sedated her when you didn't."

But the woman ignored him. "So. How would it feel like dying peacefully? That would be magnificent."

"No." Ryuu said sharply as his green eyes stared intently at Otome's grey ones.

"Kill me without putting me to sleep."

The air went silent. Otome's lips formed a smirk.

"Very well then," she stepped forward and raised the blade. "Since that's your decision, I'll do it!" She abruptly jabbed the blade on Ryuu's left wrist. The boy winced. Blood spurted out. Otome dug through his skin like a stick poking the ground. A mad smile spread across her face, expecting him to scream.

Why isn't he screaming?! HE'S SUPPOSED TO! 


"You want some more?" Otome forced another smile. "I'll do it to the other one!"

Ryuu opened one green eye. "Go on. You want to kill me, right? I'm not gonna scream like a girl. Because I can see a victim screaming helplessly will probably make you happy!"

Otome felt outraged. He had outsmarted her. But that's not gonna stop her. She continued stabbing him on the wrists but this time, more violent than what she did to Aika. More blood started spurting out. Ryuu is enduring the pain. Deep inside, he felt terrible pain. This is what his sister felt... he never felt it this... painful.

Aika... now I know what you felt.


You were screaming for me... 


You were... crying.


Otome's raging stabs drenched the silence. She was getting impatient and annoyed. She wanted him to scream and cry. But to no avail. He was looking down, pondering, as he stared towards Aika's corpse drenched in blood.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't help you.


I'm sorry, little sister. Otome really hurt you, and now she's doing it to me. 


... ...


I know you're there, Aika. You're crying. I can see your tears... you can't stop crying. 


Don't worry, sis... just a little bit more. 


He almost forgot... a girl's screams coming from the area. A girl's bloodcurdling scream.

"RYUU-KUN! RYUU-KUN!"

"NANDE?! NANDEEEE?!"

"Shut up, you brat!" Otome yelled.

It was Miyako. The blonde-haired girl inside the cell. She was clinging on the long pipes and begging for mercy.

"YAMETE!"

"PLEASE STOP! DON'T KILL HIM!"

Miyako was shedding tears, watching Ryuu get stabbed by the madwoman. Blood was everywhere. Otome pressed the blade into his stomach to cut it open. Miyako couldn't help but to scream. Otome is cutting Ryuu's stomach. The guy let out muffled grunts.

"Do whatever you want, Otome! Tear me open! I won't forget this," Ryuu smirked, his face drenched in his own blood. His green gaze went on Miyako, who is sobbing uncontrollably. He knew this girl. Ichinose Miyako. She, as Aika's bestfriend, was his... lover.

"M-Miyako..."

The girl looked up, her eyes filled with tears. "R-R-Ryuu-kun...!"

He let out another muffled grunt. "Don't worry about me... I...I'll be fine."

"Yada yada yada yada yada!!" Miyako shook her head rapidly. "Why won't I worry about you?! WHY CAN'T SHE KILL ME INSTEAD?! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Otome interrupted, but she didn't stop.

"YOU'RE A MURDERER! CARELESS BITCH FROM HELL!"

"URUSAI!"

"YOU KILLED AIKA-CHAN! YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND! AND NOW YOU KILLED RYUU-KUN! WHY DON'T YOU KILL ME?!"

"Right after I'm finished with him!" Otome retorted. "He seems too strong to die!"

Ryuu felt his focus losing. He shot another look at Miyako.

"Miyako-dono..."

"Da..."

"Daisuki da yo..."

Miyako's eyes widened. Her heart pounded wildly. The pain in her chest grew. When she heard his solemn words, she started crying. And there he was. She can only see Ryuu now lifeless. He gave in his last. He had loved her all this time...

...and now she won't be hearing those words again. Miyako's tears dripped on the ground.

"R-Ryuu-kun..." she sobbed. "I... I love you, too!" But she was too late.

"You're next."

Otome's heels approached. The men unlocked the padlock and slid the cell door open. They grabbed Miyako's arms, despite her face leaked with tears. She saw Ryuu's corpse, the cut on his stomach and fresh blood. Then to Aika and her own cut. The men unchained Ryuu and finally threw him on the reserved space next to Aika. Miyako cried.

Now she'll be going with them... very soon.

One by One part II

Hikaru looked up. A pair of emerald-green eyes stared down at her. It wasn't one of the troops.

Harugii Ryuu stood before her. The blank, serious and bitter expression is always the facial expression. Hikaru is soaking wet. Her orange jacket is soaked with mud and lake water. Her white sleeveless top got dirty. Her short brown hair slicked down. The graze on her forehead started bleeding tremendously.

"R-Ryuu!" she gasped. The male redhead stayed silent. His green eyes averted from the distance towards the hanging bridge. His gaze then went to her bleeding leg.

"You managed to escape them." he said. "That's a good thing."

"Ryuu..." Hikaru sobbed, her eyes leaked with tears. "A-Aika... s-she's --"

"I know," he cut her off. "She's dead. I saw the whole thing."

The girl was shocked. Ryuu was there... but how? He wasn't there. She didn't see him. He wasn't there when Aika was killed.

Could it be... that he was hiding somewhere nearby..?

"I..." Hikaru continued crying. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I couldn't save her! I-I wanted to help her... b-but she left me. She left me behind and she was captured...!"

"Hikaru," Ryuu's voice suddenly have gone sharp. "She told they were after us, right?"

The girl nodded.

"The chief wanted to kill us. Because we exposed their bad reputation to the public, which is exactly the right thing. And because of us, the whole village is now their enemy. The chief wanted this village to become his personal paradise and using us villagers as his slaves."

"Yes, I know that." Hikaru nodded again. "He just doesn't want to get his plan foiled. You two did the right thing. But the plan of killing you both is wrong. The village needs to know it and they have to."

"Exactly," the redhead said. "They planned to kill Aika first. And they're gonna kill me next."

Hikaru bit her lip. Does that mean... Ryuu will conceal..?


"Ryuu, please... don't let this happen. Aika is killed because she didn't do anything. And now you're gonna conceal yourself to them and get killed, too?!"

He stared at her intently. "It's not concealing. If it is us who's gonna get killed, it's not for our sake. It's for the sake of everyone. Everyone knows what he's planning. Even if they start a rebellion, it won't work. Besides, our parents were killed because they are known to be possessed with true wisdom. When we were born, the chief and his comrades were troubled, because they knew we're inherited from their identities."

"So what?!" she retorted. "They're just jealous because you know more than they do! We admired your courage and you helped us with our problems. Because of you we were light-hearted! Because of you we have the courage to fight! Because of you the atmosphere changed! You changed the atmosphere! We wanted to change it from slavery to independence!"

Ryuu stayed silent. "You got a point. But it's too late now."

"RYUU!"

They heard series of footsteps.

"It's them..." she muttered. How can I run with this bleeding leg?


"You stay here." he said.

"You stay there, Hikaru. They're after us... it's for your own safety."


Hikaru clenched her fists. "I'll come with you!"

"No," Ryuu said sternly. "You're gonna stay there. You'll only get killed."

"So?! Aika was killed because I wasn't able to protect her! I can't let you die, too!"

The footsteps grew louder.

"There's not much time. You stay."

"RYUU!"

"Our safety doesn't matter, Hikaru." he said, looking behind him. "What's important is your safety. Anyone trying to trigger us from getting killed will also be killed. Aika left you because she doesn't want you to get killed and sacrificed her life for you. And now I'm leaving you because it's for your own safety."

"It's for your own safety..."


"It's for your own safety..."


"It's for your own safety... it's for your own safety... it's for your own safety..."


"Well? HOW CAN I BE SAFE IF YOU'RE ONLY LEAVING ME BEHIND?!"

Ryuu winced. "If I were you, I would be searching for a hiding place! You have to sacrifice the pain. Because if they see you before you can even hide, they'll kill you."

"There they are!"

"Hey! It's that girl earlier!"

"Target located. Harugii Ryuu has a companion with him."

"Hide!" Ryuu yelled at Hikaru. It was then he was cornered. Two men approached and pinned him facedown. They grabbed his hands from behind. When they saw Hikaru bleeding, two other men approached.

"Take her to the treatment center. Contact the nurses to treat on her wounds and get her to rest. We'll terminate this kid over here."

"Hai."

Hikaru starts to shed tears again. The men carried her and put her down on a stretcher. They covered her with a white blanket as they carried her inside the van.

As for Ryuu, he was pushed inside other van. The troops drove back to their headquarters. Aika's bloodied corpse has been retrieved. The blood is dry. There she was. They put on her shirt and vest back, but not in a proper way. The cut on her stomach was still visible. She was placed inside a box where they reserved the space for Ryuu.

He had the smirk on his face. His final wish will be granted...

TBC

One by One...

Two girls stayed in one abandoned house where they lived together.

Matsumoto Hikaru and Harugii Aika.

A group of crooks wanted to slay the Harugiis. Why? They were known for their astonishing intelligence, and they solve clues and put fragments together a detective have never done before. They thought they are possessed by spirits of wisdom. When they realized Ryuu and Aika know everything about their reputation, the chief of their organization made a harsh decision to terminate the two "brats". So his troops spread the entire village until they located the house where Aika and Hikaru slept.

"Target located. We've surrounded the target location."

"Aika," Hikaru woke up from the sound of them approaching. She knew they were coming. She slowly got up from her futon and tapped her hand on Aika's shoulder.

"Wake up... they're here," she said hesitantly.

"Hayaku!"

Aika opened her eyes. She saw Hikaru's eyes filled with fear and hesitation. She heard the troops' footsteps surrounding their house. With this, Aika got up and stepped on a stool, opening a secret trapdoor on the ceiling.

"Hayaku," she said to Hikaru, who climbed up and the first to get in.

"C'mon," she said, extending her hand towards Aika. "Hurry. They're out to get you." To her surprise, Aika declined her. She just shook her head and stood there.

"No, Hikaru..." she said in a calm manner, her eyes blank. "You stay there. It's for your own safety."

Hikaru stared at her in shock. "W-what do you mean? Aika, you have to get in here. Quickly! C'mon!" she urged, but once again Aika didn't move.

"They're after us..." the black-haired girl said softly. She meant onii (Ryuu) and herself. "I'll be fine, Hikaru. Don't show yourself when they get in."

"AIKA!" Hikaru protested, forcing her to hold on her hand. Aika looked down on her shoes while her friend hesitated. Then she lifted up her head and showed her her innocent smile.

"Don't worry, Hikaru-chi. I'll be fine."

Her friend skipped a heart beat. Aika closed the trapdoor, leaving her inside. The troops have barged inside while the pale girl just stood there. Hikaru trembled and started to cry, muttering Aika's name and trying her best not to be heard. She peeked from above and the troops wrapped Aika like a mummy as they sprinted off. They went into their van and proceeded to their secret garden, where they tore open the bag. They pulled out their sharp knives and their scalpels.

Hikaru slowly opened the trapdoor, looked outside to check for troops who stayed (and fortunately, she found no one) and followed them. She knows about the secret garden. She and Aika always visit that beautiful garden. She rarely spends time with Ryuu, who she thinks is very mysterious and cold unlike his sister who is innocent, warm and sweet.

When she saw the troops prepare their leave, Hikaru approached.

She then sees ravens scavenging on a dead animal. Getting annoyed from their caws, she grabbed a stone and threw it towards them, sending few away. Hikaru got furious as she grabbed a long wooden stick to shoo them away. But before she could swing the stick, she realized that the ravens' food was not a dead animal.

She saw strands of black hair scattered on the grass. Blue eyes losing their color. A pair of broken glasses and a pool of blood.

The ravens pecked the bloodied skin with their beaks.

Hikaru is standing in front of Aika's naked and bloodied corpse. There's a huge cut on her stomach, determining the troops pulled out her intestines and guts. And her corpse is scavenged by ravens.

She couldn't believe her eyes. Tears sprang down her eyes. And screamed.

The troops heard. They followed the noise. Hikaru's heart pounded wildly. She made her escape and left Aika's body behind. She hid behind a tree before the troops ran past it. Then they started to spread out.

She can't scream once more because she will attract their attention. She ran and found herself heading towards a hanging bridge. The troops followed her footsteps. She had no choice but to hide under the bridge. She scraped her leg and despite it bleeding, she slid her foot on one of the rocks. And she fell. She plunged on the lake.

Hikaru regained consciousness few hours later. She was sprawled on a lakeside. Her head had a graze. The troops were gone and nowhere in sight. She sighed in relief. But the pain in her heart didn't. The brutal death of her friend Aika... broke her heart. She cried again, grieving for her loss.

"I'm sorry..." she wept. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you..."

Then she heard footsteps. She gasped in horror, knowing it might be one of the troops. She looked up and saw emerald-green eyes looking down at her.

TBC

Innocent or not?

THIS IS ONLY A LOUSY DRABBLE THAT POPPED IN MY HEAD! (...based on what I feel right now.)

Due to the excessive hours of watching their favorite series of anime, they caught up one of the popular anime that somehow...caught their attention. They heard it was very cool, attractive and very mouth-drooling (wait, WHAT?)

And because they watched it in a hurry, they watched the episodes STRAIGHT! Only finishing to HALF of the episodes and until they finished the entire saga. Hmm, according to my imagination, the episodes were like... only twenty..?

And by the time they arrived in school, the students observed them.

They are not in their usual moods.

Cool, spicy-looking and the blank expressions.

Instead, they see red faces and pretending to be simple looks. Their eyes are different.

Who are these characters? Obvious.

The Harugii siblings. xD

To be continued... =w=

BS: Awakening

As time passes, the lives of these two siblings slowly grew complicated. Ryuu's demon is yet sleeping inside him. Aika's cherubim is about to shatter.

Their responsibilities of terminating dirt-minded psychopaths brought them towards risky situations. Their parents are about to find out the secrets of their doings. Yet they called they'll be heading back to town next week and... those two siblings don't want themselves exposed and stamped with a case.

The suicide from the school basement.
The suicide from someone's room.
The death of three girls.
The death of two students in the library.
And the other incidents, absolutely nothing to do with them compared from the above.

But then, as the atmosphere changes, Ryuu's personality grows absurd. His grim and mysterious side starts to unravel, and he hears the demonic voice that is about to control him. His green eyes will blink red all of a sudden and a black and straight pupil will form at each eye. The trouble is: how can he stop it? The energy is too strong.

Aika's cherubim is shattering. Her calm and innocent side is about to fade and transform her into a cowardly lass. She rarely shows off her demonic side. The bad news is: that side has perished as well. She wasn't suited to be a demon after all.

And then, the things called lies are formed.

But what happens when they affect their friendship and relationship?

Things will never be the same.

You Deserve It

You think it is the end. You think it is the final part where you'll be glad for the ending. But there's more. You can't expect happy endings. Because happy endings are becoming so common these days. Let me show you what a real happy ending is:

How would you live in a world full of psychopaths? A certain guy have asked you before. A lot of students say he wasn't a psychopath because he controlled his senses. He and a girl are officially born as siblings. No doubts about it. Doctors got their blood examined and saw traces of their parents' heredity.

Ryuu-san knows they are. He even tasted Aika's blood for proof. How? Simple.

He simply bit her ear until he tasted blood. You know the ear is the part where you know how thin is the layer of skin. Even when you got yourself bitten by someone, it will hurt, really hurt. Oh yeah? If you think it doesn't really hurt, get someone to bite your ear really hard until you feel something dripping.

But that's not a maltreatment for Aika-chan. It's for her to endure the pain and test her stability.

Speaking of Aika, you're wondering if she killed people from one of her days. From the previous blogs, I have doubts she didn't. Those death scenes she mentioned really happened in the school where she studies. She has nothing to do with those deaths. True.

But what I'm about to tell you is that... she really killed some students. She did it for her own malice and protection. She doesn't suffer from syndromes or even psychological diseases either. She is in her senses. She knows what she's doing. It's more on malice and silence combined together.

One tragic night three girls got the hobbies of putting people down for them to go up. Or in other words, crab mentality. They think they're the cutest and the most beautiful and the flawless girls in the universe. Really? High doubts. They may be pretty in the outside but they're damsels possessing hollow brains in the inside.

When they got curious about a girl named Momoko Aika, they thought she looked like a nerd. A bookworm who parasites on the knowledge from history books. But when they find out about her "life as a psychic who can predict fates", they smirked and followed her wherever she goes. They snapped pictures of her reading, tripping, falling and slamming an armchair on a girl. The last part got them shocked.

They almost defined her as a murderer with a failed scheme.

Their next target is Ryuu. They asked themselves how are he and Aika related? Normal people unlike them laugh, because they do have hollow brains.

"HAHAHA! You bitches are brainless!"
"Wahahahaha! Fashion and superiority? A disgusting combination~!"
"You girls are so pretty and sexy I wanna puke!"

Ryuu arrives in the scene. The atmosphere became quiet. The mischievous students suddenly have gone silent and their provokes were replaced by hesitation and fear. Ryuu walked past them without staring at each one of them. His green eyes are bitter and cold.

The three girls were bewildered. What's in Ryuu-san that's making everyone be afraid of him... as if he's almost a god? No, say that in front of his face and he'll jab a dagger on your throat. Seriously.

I can also say he have killed students before like Aika.

He did slashed throats of the warfreaks who always have war and misunderstandings in their brains. Like Aika, he's not a psychopath. He can control his senses. He knows what he's doing.

It's not just throat-slitting, he have done many murderous acts. Only his victims think he's a shadow standing behind them who will stab them on the chest from behind before they knew someone was behind them. There were no witnesses, no CCTV cameras, no patrollers and security guards, and no signs of clues except the blood.

He'll be seen walking somewhere in the darkness with blood staining his shirt, hands, pants and even his face, except his shoes. Because he has a sharp timing of not stepping onto a pool of blood. You'll see his eyes glistening, and his hand close to his mouth to taste the blood.

Let's get back to those girls.

They decided to plot something. With their decisions made, they sneaked towards the basement where Yoake's suicide scene took place. The place is empty. The pool of dried blood are gone. So it was just a place for party people to occupy and make noise.

Because one of them saw Ryuu and Aika walking together towards here. They thought they're on a date, except they're not doing that Holding Hands While Walking thing, they find it extremely disgusting. They don't know about their relationship as official siblings.

Now it's their chance, the one leading the way each gave them weapons for safe defense.

Planks. Dividers. Syringes (the ones they stole from Takashi-sensei's office). Stun guns. And brass-nackers.
They got everything.

The leader barged inside the basement, ready with her two companions. She saw the place empty and no sign of those two. They looked around and there were no other witnesses, and no CCTV security cameras.

When they see a figure standing, it revealed as Aika. She wore her black and blue school uniform.
Dark blue top. Black and blue striped school collar. Black tie. Black skirt with blue vertical streaks at each fold. Black tights and shoes. Her long dark hair flew slowly as her blue eyes stared at them blankly behind the lens of her glasses. She had a pair of white headphones with soft white fur and designed with a pair of cat ears with pink canals. Cute, isn't it?

But what's that you see on her hand? It's a hatchet.

"Moe-moe-chan!" one of the girls cooed.

But Aika just stayed silent. When they saw the hatchet she was holding, the leader pointed a finger at her.

"Sedate her!"

The two girls nodded, holding the syringes. They walked in long strides towards Aika, who just stood there with a hatchet. The two girls grinned maliciously as they uncapped the syringes to show off the deadly and sharp needles.

Aika dropped her hatchet and pulled out two cans of pepper spray uncapped. With a vengeful glare, she sprayed the contents, creating a cloud of pepper spray gas in the area. Aika watched the two girls drop their syringes and cup their eyes, screaming. They fell on their knees and yelled out curses.

"I-itai! Itai! Itai! Nnghh... aarrgh!"

The leader was in rage. She prepared her stun gun when she found her easy target.
\But she was too late.

Aika sprayed more at her direction, making her do the same "Itai!" screams and covering her eyes. Aika picked up the three syringes they stole as she tossed them in a high arc towards another figure.

"What else did they stole?" said a masculine voice.

Aika placed her hands on her hips. "Let's see. They got planks, dividers and stun guns." Her glance went on the brass-nackers. "Hey, aren't those the illegal weapons the bullies owned?"

"Huh. Those stuff?" Ryuu snorted. "They've gone old school."

Aika turned to her left and sees one of the girls standing up and taking a plank. Her eyes were swelling. She frantically stood up and ran towards her, screaming like crazy.

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!"

The girl whacked the plank on the blue-eyed girl, who winced in pain. She clutched her head and saw blood.

"Does it hurt? DOES IT?!" The girl mocked. Aika just glared.

"Yes," she smirked. "You're good,"

"R-really?" the girl grinned. Then she opened her mouth wide. Her eyes grew insanely round

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I DID IT! I OUTSMARTED MOMOKO AIKA-CHAMA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Ryuu's face darkened. He stared at the opposite direction to find the other girl also holding a plank and attempting to slam it on him. His green eyes went on a tube behind him as he grasped it on his fingers and jabbed the material straight through her chest. The girl's eyes opened wide, dropping the plank and struggling between bloody gurgles. Ryuu didn't show any sign of victory (just the same cold and blank face) as he abruptly pulled out the blood-stained tube. The girl fell on the floor with a huge hole on her chest.

The girl (who hit Aika)'s crazy laughter was replaced by bloodcurdling screams.

"What's wrong?" Aika asked in a mocking tone almost similar to Ryuu's. "You don't want to end up like her, do you?"

"Ahahahaha! Why would I be scared of you, Aika-chama? You're bleeding! How are you supposed to pay me back HA?!"

"You may be good," Aika picked up her hatchet.

"Hahahaha! You got some more strength!" the girl laughed. "C'mon! You can do better than that!"

"...but NOT GOOD ENOUGH!" With this, she swung her hatchet and slashed the girl, creating a large gash on her chest. Blood spurted out like a fountain. The poor girl fell on her back, her eyes wide open.

"Nice," Ryuu smirked, holding one of the lethal injections. He drained the last two from the syringes and went to the last one. The three liquid solutions were placed in a test tube and transformed into one mixture.

"Ryuu," Aika blinked. "What's that?"

But he avoided her question, his emerald gaze went on towards the stun guns scattered on the floor.

"Get rid of those. The leader over there is the only one left. She'll try to struggle by taking one of those." he ordered as Aika picked them all up. She tossed the brass-nackers aside and swept off the dividers with her foot. The leader, sprawled on the floor, groaned.

"W-what did you do to them?!"

"They have hollow brains, remember?" Aika replied. "Since you're the one who followed us down here along with your dead companions, we're gonna have to feed you something you'll always deserve." she said calmly and smiled. Her blue eyes looked demonic.

"W-what?"

"Are you done?" Ryuu's voice echoed behind. His footsteps approached.

The leader trembled. She felt Aika's arms help her sit up. But her arms were clinging under her forearms as she sat behind the victim to keep her from struggling.

"W-what are you doing?"

"Relax," Ryuu says mockingly, holding the test tube with the poisonous mixture. "You heard what she said. You're their leader. You led them here to follow us." His lips formed a smirk as the mixture glistened. "How about a taste you'll always deserve?" His eyes gazed on hers. "You need it. It's for the celebration of your failure." He glanced towards Aika, who nodded at him and chuckled.

"N-no!" the leader shook her head. "Y-you can't do this! I-I didn't to---"

"Enough is enough!" he cut her off abruptly. He grabbed her chin and forced her mouth open. The leader screamed as Ryuu spilled the contents of the test tube and forced them down on her throat. He let go and motioned Aika to do the same thing.

She let go as she and the male redhead stood up.

The poor girl lied on her back and trembled, her eyes wide open. She felt her stomach gurgling inside. Then she coughed. She rolled on the floor and then she's in all fours.

And then, on the floor dripped tiny droplets of blood.

The droplets then became bigger. Until the leader is completely vomiting blood and feeling dizzy. She collapsed on the floor and let out faint gasping noises. Her mouth is spilled with her own blood. She clutched at her own stomach and heard it gurgling again.

To her shock, her stomach's skin started tearing up, revealing her intestines and guts. The girl let out a bloodcurdling scream. She tried to push them back inside, but what can she do?

"N-nande...?!"

After a couple of seconds, the girl finally gave in. She fell on her bile, guts, stomach and her intestines drenched in her own blood.

"Ryuu," Aika said. "What was in that test tube?"

"It's a kind of chemical that blows up obstacles and even vital organs," Ryuu replied as he flashed the three empty syringes. "I mixed it up with these three to make the experiment complete. Like this psycho over here, she swallowed the mixture and her insides started to blow up until they tore themselves out of her skin."

Aika shuddered. "W-why didn't you tell me?!"

"Sorry if I scared you, sis." he said teasingly as they retreated. "C'mon, we've got some testing to do."

Bittersweet: Ryuu's advice

Heh. Why would she trespass in here just to complain about our assignments? This is what we do. Takashi-sensei trained us to control our senses and hire us as the main apprentices. The others are Mikagami Satoko, Satomiya Ash, and the one in general training, Satomiya Mirouni.

That girl earlier was Matsumoto Hikaru. She's two years senior from our age. Eighteen years old (I presume) and the transfer student for two years. It's not like I'm insulting her from the previous chapter. It's just that we're trying to tell her the dark history of this school and she doesn't want to believe us. But then, I tossed those two murder files at her and knew it would prove to her we didn't "made them up".

I respect her opinions, but there's nothing she can do.

How about you? If you want us to stop, how can you live in a school full of psychopaths? The ones who bailed themselves from this school who thought they're free only ended up getting themselves distorted and exposed in public.

They say it is the school's fault. But you should know that the entire village suffers from these syndromes and disease, that's why it only has less than 3,000 population. If you leave the village, that's not really gonna stop the syndrome.
 Because you'll only end up changing for the worst than changing for the best.

If I were you, learn to control your senses and fight the fate. No one lives without fates. And if I am diagnosed with a disease. Psychological disease or a syndrome. I would have rehabilitated myself without causing havoc. I mentioned something about even interpretations and feelings won't work. Yes, it's true. Can you really help a person reform when his mind is already distorted and it is diagnosed for the Level-Five syndrome. There's no stopping it.

Here are the main symptoms of the so-called syndrome:
1.) Unknowing mental disorders.
2.) Weird hallucinations.
3.) Dizziness
4.) Seeing "things".
5.) Suicidal thoughts.
6.) The word 'violence' is always on your mind
7.) Craving for sharp objects
8.) Watching violent movies and playing violent games
9.) Distorted mind
10.) Laughing for no reason
11.) Smashing everything you see around you
12.) Doing things that you abnormally do.
13.) Spitting on everyone for no reason
14.) Talking to psychologists about making them stop, but in the back of your head, you think you're lucky they'll agree so that you can do whatever you want, even acts of violence, and violating the rules when you're not at all.
15.) Screaming in public just to get everyone's attention.
16.) Etching slogans and other stuff related to violence.
17.) Pretending to act innocent when you really want to kill somebody.
18.) Thinking you're always right when you're not at all.
19.) You become TOO emotional/intellectual than you think.
20.) You don't have any idea what the words 'common sense' means.

There's only one remedy: CONTROL YOURSELF BEFORE IT CONTROLS YOU.

Got a problem? I don't care. If it has something to do with us, you can spit it in front of our faces than being a coward.

I've said it before, and I'm saying it again:

You've gotta be careful now. You might be a victim. You can't say you're safe and free. Try observing yourself. Have you experienced the symptoms given above? If you do, then you have to consult us immediately before it gets worse. If you say "Not really,", prove it. If it occurred, it won't be our fault. It's up to you to find out yourself.

Bittersweet: Truth and Dare

"Nani ga okotta ka o o shiri ni narimashita ka?"


"Eeh... Watashi wa oboete inai kano sei ga arimasu."


The incident from the library was... traumatic and unbearable. 


I...I didn't know what to do back then. I was just sitting on the table with my friends when all of a sudden, this guy with a baseball bat and a girl wielding a knife barged in and started causing havoc. Smashing the glass windows, shelves, tossing chairs, kicking tables and knocking books. And then all these girls, including me, ran out of the chairs and started screaming. 


What scared me the most was... one of our classmates got killed.


I hid behind the shelves, careful not to be seen. That guy with the baseball bat smashed the shelves. He even attacked girls with his stun gun before he could find me. I escaped and found myself hiding under the computers before they were smashed, but I was unseen.


But how? Who were those two? Why are they attacking us like this? What did we do wrong?


"Hahaha! Anata wa mada nani mo shitte inai...."


I controlled myself from fidgeting.


I mean, seriously... what is going on in here?


When I walked out of the classroom carrying my books and my backpack, I saw that orange-haired guy talking to that brown-haired girl (whose hair is almost similar to mine) about something. Speaking of Ryuu, I wonder why a lot of people become insecure and repulsed when they see him, as if he's like a grim reaper about to suck in their souls? The other one, Aika, the raven-haired one, everyone thought she's like a psychic who can predict their fates. 


But then, I've heard rumors about the consecutive and mysterious deaths of two twins. Tsukiyoru Arashi and Yoake. 


Arashi hanging himself on the ceiling and covered in slit wounds. 


Yoake stabbing herself on the head several times.


I assume the culprits are Harugii Ryuu and Momoko Aika. When I heard Takashi-sensei tell everyone that they're purely born as official siblings, I had doubts. My own ideal image of siblings are identical eyes for example, or even the same hair color. But when I forced myself to spit it out on Ryuu's face, he just gave me that bitter look.


Ryuu has orange hair and green eyes.


Aika has black hair and blue eyes.


"It's all in the heredity of their parents." one friend told me. "All children are born with that, you know. They're not like they have identical eyes or hair or even skin. But observe their personalities. They're almost identical."


I don't see any similarities. But they're right. It depends on the heredity.


I was snapped out of my distraction when Ryuu walked past me. His eyes are still the same I can almost imagine a dark aura surrounding him already.


That's weird.


I haven't seen Aika since then. 


Oh, I remember. She was paralyzed from Kaori's stun gun, and the girl who ended up getting killed along with her partner Itou. Ryuu used some kind of a lethal injection. What shocked us is that instead of pressing the needle gently, he JABBED it abruptly like it's a dagger. He carried the paralyzed Aika in his arms and followed Takashi-sensei all the way to the Treatment Room.


I'm having no idea what's happening in this place. I mean, I just transferred here two years ago and my life became normal and stable. 


Knowing this is my chance, I followed him. I saw his green eyes look behind. I keep my composure as I entered inside the room. Ryuu suddenly disappeared in the darkness and I was left in front of Takashi-sensei's working table. 


I'm aware they might not be aware about my trespassing.


"Well, what do we have here?"


Uh-oh. I guess they are.


I turned around and to my big surprise, Ryuu was there standing a few meters behind me. He wore the same black lab coat that he and Aika wore when they were in the library. His green eyes looked serious, calm and cold. I stood erectly and bowed.


"Sumimasen," I apologized. "I'm sorry for trespassing."


He approached when I see him spinning a scalpel between his fingers. Its sharp tip shimmered with a seductive glow. His footsteps made their way to Takashi-sensei's working table but he didn't sit on his chair. He just stood there, pacing.


"So, what's your purpose?"


I bit my lip and swallowed. "Harugii-san, do you have something to do with the death of Tsukiyoru twins?"


Instead of twitching, he remained calm. His face is still the same. 


"To be honest, yes." he replied. "You have arguments?"


Damn. He figured it out.


"Matsumoto Hikaru-san," his lips formed a smirk. "The transfer student for two years. Looks like I'm not mistaken." he said in an almost mocking tone. 


"Harugii-san," I said. "What's the fluid you injected in them?"


Ryuu's smirk didn't get wiped out. He flipped the scalpel like a coin and caught it on his hand. He fished out two syringes from his lab coat pocket that are contained two colored fluids. A golden fluid. And a purplish fluid.


"Which one?"


I swallowed again. I pointed an almost trembling finger on the purple one. "T-that. I-is that the lethal injection?"


"Lucky guess," his smirk grew demonic. "Once injected, the victim will die within two to three minutes."


I gasped. Two to three minutes?!


He switched it with the other one. "While this is the drug which is mistaken for a barbiturate when it can actually make the victim commit suicide."


"Like?" I controlled my temper.


"Hmm... let me see. Choking himself with a rope. Stabbing himself on the head or some parts of the body. Claw on his own throat." his gaze turned on me. "You know what I mean. The fingernails dig themselves into the skin until it hits the blood vessels."


I reacted. "That's impossible!"


"It is!" he said coldly. "That happened before you even transferred here. Hikaru-san, do you have any idea about the dark history of this school?"


Dark history..?


"W..what do you mean?"


He snorted. "You've spent two years here and you don't have any slightest idea. You thought school life is normal here, but the existing students here are trying their best not to let the newbies know about it. It's up to them to find out themselves."


"What the heck are you saying?!" I yelled. "Don't you realize what you're doing? You're destroying innocent lives!"


His eyes widened like how a demon glares. "Innocent? Innocent, you say?"


Then he let out a cold and demonic laugh. It was the first time I heard him laugh but not like a maniac, compared to Kaori's. 


"You got it wrong, Hikaru. The victims we terminated are mostly guilty for murder. Let's face it. You don't know Yoake's background of assaulting several students and murdering them. Even Arashi did, only it's not included in the case report. A while ago, you saw Itou and Kaori caused havoc everywhere and they even killed few students. You think you'll define them as innocent?"


He... he's right. Murdering people is not innocent... but what they're doing... 


"You can't go around killing people with those injections! It's against the law!"


He snorted again. "Hahaha! Look who's talking! The victims are the ones begging to be killed. We even spare them by rehabilitating them. But a lot of them reached level-five syndromes. When that occurs, there's no stopping it. Their minds are dominated. Rehabilitation can be useless, because even if they promise they won't do it again, there's a chance they would."


Syndromes? Psychological diseases. I... I haven't thought of that.


All this time everyone suffered from those without even telling me?!


"Don't expect anyone yelling an epidemic is spreading, because it existed in this place for a hundred years. The lucky ones are not affected. The common effect of the syndrome or the disease is killing his close friends or innocent loves and then he'll end up killing himself."


"Whatever that is, you should stop right now. It's causing harm." I said abruptly.


"You know, if you have this position, would you dare try to reform the patients who are born psychopaths? Counseling them is useless. Because their minds are already distorted. Like I said, there's no stopping it. Even if you interpret your advice with feelings it won't work." Ryuu took the scalpel again and spun it around between his fingers like a mini baton. "And now you're begging us to stop? But what can we do? Even if you call rehab experts, it will only be waste of money."


"Heh," I snorted. "What's your point?"


"A  lot of former psychologists here have done that before. They only ended up bankrupted when they find out it was useless. They used medicines for nothing and ended up dumped inside the trash."


"Tch. You should know that Arashi and Yoake's souls are not peaceful because you killed them."


"Hold on, Hikaru." He held out one hand. "Duh. The twins committed suicide. I can tell you're absent-minded."


"I mean, you made them kill themselves!"


"Hahahaha!" he laughed bitterly. "See? You don't even know the entire story!"


I flinched. My heart pounded wildly.


"WHAT IS IT?! TELL ME!"


"Arashi died because he hanged himself and attempted to destroyed himself due to personal depression. The syringe found in his room was not ours. He stole it from here and injected himself. Yoake, guilty from her murders, became a victim of the psychological disease and forced Aika to inject the drug into her before she could protest. She stabbed herself on the head several times in front of Aika."


"Is it me or are you making them all up?"


His face darkened. He tossed me two folders. They landed on my hands. I read them one by one and saw the files with the official stamps and the genuine signatures. Even the actual dates. I read the files as my eyes widened. I felt my hands trembling.


...I was wrong. They didn't made them up. It... it was true. Ryuu and Aika did nothing...


"Now do you believe me?" he asked.


I avoided his gaze. I tried to endure this private humiliation but then I saw Takashi arriving on the scene. 


"Ryuu," he said. "Who's your guest over there?"


"Matsumoto Hikaru. She trespassed in here to file her complaints." Ryuu replied. "Sensei, how's Aika doing? Is she fine?"


Takashi nodded. "Of course. She was almost severely paralyzed from the volts. She can barely move. But she needs an estimated seventeen-hour sleep for her to recover completely."


Seventeen hours? Whoa... that's a long time length!


"As for you, Matsumoto-kun," Takashi-sensei turned to me. "I was listening to your conversation. You know... we know you can be superior to us but there's nothing you can do. You heard what Ryuu told you, and I hope you keep them in mind. Because you are already too late, there's no way you can stop the syndromes and diseases to spread and distort one's mind. Especially the ones murdering other students, they needed to be sedated or even terminated."


I fought back the tears that are stinging my eyes. "I...I'm sorry." I put down the two files. "I guess I'll be leaving. I'm sorry for trespassing..." I sadly went out of the room. 


They were right... there are tons of psychopaths. This school is inhabited with psychopaths.


Ryuu and Aika managed to control their senses... that's why they're not affected.


"Last thing," Ryuu chimed. "You have to be careful, Hikaru. You can be a victim right now."


"W-what do you mean?"


"Syndromes or even diseases don't choose victims or even days to distort one's mind. They can occur anytime. Careful, because you can be experiencing mental disorders right now."


"Uhmm... no, I'm really stable."


"That's good. But you gonna have to prove it."


Huh? What does he mean?
