Chapter 1: The Renowned Child-Killer
"This isn't fair, brother!" A girl with magenta hair, paired with pink strong eyes exclaimed, slamming her palms on her brother's desk. Meanwhile, her brother hardly gave the other a gaze as he continued to flip the business papers in a page and another, scrolling his eyes left and right, his left hand stroking the triangular goatee of his chin. The girl trembled by his brother's action. She did not like being ignored. She loathed it.
"Please do look at me! Grounding me is unfair, brother! It was not I that sneaked out late last night, It was brother Kouha!" She exclaimed, slamming a hard fist on the desk, gritting her teeth, wanting the older to believe her.
The other sighed in exasperation, closing his eyes and bringing down the papers that he had been busy since earlier. "Alright, I'll ground Kouha."
The girl's face lit up in sheer happiness, but such face shattered when her brother once again spoke. " I haven't said anything about not grounding you as well, Kougyoku." She grunted, or rather, growled.
"Brother Kouen! I have not done anything wrong to earn such punish-"
"I know you're still seeing that Saluja kid. How many times have I told you to break all contacts with him?" The older, Kouen, cut her sentence off. A faint gasp escaped from Kougyoku's lips. "B-brother, I am not seeing him, He- He's my friend! My bestfriend, brother!"
"So? I told you to break all contact with him, right? And the fact that you defied me have not changed. Now, scram away. I still have work to be done. Stop whining and go home. It would be much to my satisfaction if you went home and studied for a better and presentable grade." Kouen spat, glaring at her younger sister, seeing her turning the lightest shade of pink.
Kougyoku quivered, clutching the beautiful pink dress she wore hard, making it crumpled in the process. She bit her lower lip and opened it, then closing it, as if she was going to say something but is unable to find the right voice. She looked at the ground, tears prickling from the corner of her eyes. " Y-yes. Forgive me for the impudence that I have shown you, brother." She then turned to her heal and swiftly headed to the door. She gripped the golden door knob and twisted it, making her way out of her brother's private office.
When she was out, the tears have finally made it's way down her cheeks and she was reduced to a mild sobbing, digging a handkerchief on her pocket and running fast at the sole corridor that would soon connect to the elevator. She was busy running to notice that she has passed someone and was even unaware that that someone followed her with his startled eyes.
Kougyoku entered the elevator and clicked the lowest floor. For now, all she wanted to do was to go home and cry her out in her room. The said person earlier, the one whom Kougyoku has passed on the hallway, made his way in Ren Kouen's office, stopping before him and landing the other's desk papers that he was carrying in his arms. " I saw Kougyoku, she's crying. Both of you fought or something?" He asked.
"It's not your business, is it not, Judal." Kouen replied, dismissing the part of the information about A crying Kougyoku. He did not want his brothers or sisters to cry, he hated making them cry. But at times, it is necessary and he had just to do it for their sake.
"Giving me the cold shoulder? Man, I'm even working hard here. Since I was a kid, mind you. Knowing stupid reasons behind a crying Kougyoku, in whom on my part has always been crying, is a given don't cha think?" Judal casually replied, twisting his shoulder, rotating it left and right, "Man, I'm beat. I don't even understand why the hell do I have to work this hard."
"You're an employee and I pay you in this job. Isn't it a given too that you have to work your ass off?" By that words that Kouen gave, Judal clicked his tongue. "A'ight, seems you don't wanna talk about what happened earlier. I know it's because of something petty anyway." Judal then left Kouen's room.
Kouen shook his head. Really, people had been giving him headaches today.
"Are you saying you're, like, grounded?" A girl's voice sounded surprised, but still monotonous if asked.
Kougyoku sat in a chair, on a cafe somewhere around the city. She sobbed, hearing the other's static voice over the phone she held on her right palm and shakily pressed on her right ear. "Y-yeah. What do I do, Mor? I won't be able to come on the party Titus would be holding next week."
"Say what? Just how long are you grounded?" Morgianna, on the other line, sounded more worried than previously. "Hey, baby. calm down. Can you come here in my house now?"
A tear dripped off on Kougyoku's sore eyes, "N-no, I don't think I can. I-I have been ordered to head directly at my house. But I made a short stop. I don't know as well just when will I be finished grounded."
"I see, your family's really tight. You can't help it. You've been born to a rich family. You're basically a rick kid."
"B-but never have I wished to become a rich kid! I just- I just want to be ordinary- to be a normal girl. To have heaps of friends.." Kougyoku sobbed.
"Don't worry, Gyoku. Cheer up! I don't care if you're a rich kid! You're a friend, Titus, Sphintus and Alibaba thinks the same! You're not alone!" Morgianna said in a very caring and kind tone. And she means it.
Kougyoku's lips quivered, and more tears dripped from her chin, she was so happy she was going to burst." Thanks Mor, I think- I think I'm much better now." She wiped her tears carefully. not soiling the make-up or smearing it.
"Excuse me, Miss." Kougyoku looked up to see a smiling waiter in front of her. The waiter gently placed a cup of coffee in the table, " It's in the house. I'd be glad if you feel better by it." The waiter's smile widened.
Kougyoku looked back and fro at the cup and the lady-waiter then almost cried again, " T-thank you very much!" She voiced out and gave the other the brightest smile she could manage, " Yes, I'm all better now! Thank you very much."
"It's nothing, miss. and I'm glad you do." The waiter then exited, and Kougyoku then noticed that almost all the people on the cafe was looking at her and saw that they had kind smiles plastered in their faces after the waiter left.
She was embarrassed but happy, she then returned to her phone, "Tell me, Mor.."
"Hmm..?"
"Why is the world so kind?"
A chuckle was heard on the other line, " It just is, And I'm sure, your Brother Kouen was just worried about you."
"Yeah, he must have been. I think I'll apologize when he come home today."
"Just how many has this been?" A purple-haired man asked to nobody, covering a lifeless body of a woman no older than 25. " And the suspect is a child?!" His golden eyes glittered, not sure if in fear or because of the new information that came.
The red-haired muscular man beside him, whom possessed intense but seemingly caring eyes, nodded. " The 177th, Sin. And yeah, that's what Ja'far said. That guy hasn't been sleeping lately so that he could just catch the killer behind this."
Sin, fullname Sinbad, stood up, stroking a cold and sweaty hand on his chin. He was hot, clearly of good built just by looking at his form. " The !77th.. Goodness. And Ja'far, yes, I know. I think he's made the police station his home this past few days. Moreover, tell me more about the suspect, Masrur. My curiosity is starting to prick on me!"
" Let's return for now. Let the other's handle the body." Masrur replied. He doesn't like engaging in long talks, especially not when a corpse is in front of them.
"Alright. It would be much better too if Ja'far explained it." Sinbad walked away, Masrur following his back as both of them got on a police car and headed to the station.
Kougyoku started to run. The clouds were gray and gave off a warning that it's gonna pour water later and she just have to be late on the train to her home. She should've just used her car, but she was out of herself when she hurried to Kouen's office to complain.
"One thing after another!" She managed to blurt out between huffs. The alarm that the train will be departing was blaring and she hurried down the stairs. Oh My God, Please, no! Let me get on the train on time!
On the last step, she found her foot twitching and she was off balance, 100% sure she'll gonna trip. "Oh-uuwahh-!"
She did not trip. Not when a ten year old kid supported her in the front, clutching both her boobs, so that she won't fall. Many stopped to looked at both of them and many hurried to get on the train. And it just took her a long time to realized that her boobs are-.. Well, they're being groped.
"Hya!" She cutely screamed and backed away, covering her precious puddings with her arms. She was as red as an apple, as she gave the kid a why-did-you-do-that look.
The kid, on the other hand, looked like he could break from an endless laughter, clutching his stomach forcefully and covering his mouth. His azure eyes were starting to get teary. He then gasped and looked at the train. Kougyoku followed his gaze and also looked at the train and just remembered that she had to get on. "Uwaahhh!" She ran ahead and stumbled forward but still continued to run and she made it in time.
She gasped for air, huffing, gripping the pole near the entrance of the train.
"You have a fair ass but could you hurry up?" A tiny tone behind her spoke. She jumped and swiftly looked back, the red that graced her cheeks earlier tripled in shade. "Wha-wha-wha-"
It was the same kid that groped her chest earlier. He had an azure, long hair, tied into a braid, his azure eyes seemed to tell that he knows everything. " Th-that's sexual harassment!" Kougyoku stuttered, not only has the kid groped her chest, he also told her something about his buttocks being fair or something along the line. And he was a kid, probably ten.
The kid just proceeded to sit at the cushioned lengthy chair beside the pole and tapped his hand on the vast space beside him, "Isn't it tiring to just stand there? Why don't you sit? You'll feel better."
Kougyoku blushed and she sat on the chair, quite a space between her and the kid. The kid chuckled, staring at the extremely embarrassed Kougyoku," Wow, you're interesting, really. What's your name?" He asked.
Kougyoku pouted and looked away, "I have no obligation whatsoever to tell my name to someone who sexually harassed me twice!"
"Hmm.. So your name's Kougyoku Ren." The boy spoke, making her almost jump again. The space between her and the kid has disappeared and the kid, on the other hand, was looking at her I.D.. The one on her school's.
"H-hey! I did not give you permission that it is alright to look at my things!" She spat and grabbed her I.D. on the kid's palm. The kid was startled then erupted into laughs and wiping of tears. "Pftttt- ahahahaha, you really are interesting! I'm called Aladdin!" He introduced himself.
"Hmmpp! I did not ask for your name had I not?" Kougyoku replied, tilting her head sideways.
"Isn't it alright to just remember the name of the person that sexually harassed you twice?" Aladdin replied. Kougyoku then helplessly turned her head back to him and looked at him squarely and the first thing she noticed was the fierce gaze of the kid.
"Right?" Aladdin then smiled, hiding the beautiful and fierce azure orbs that made Kougyoku almost speechless. "Y-yes, certainly.." Kougyoku answered, a bit embarrassed and entirely entranced with the boy's eyes. She had no idea how many deaths those beautiful eyes have seen.
"T-this is? Is this really-" Sinbad has been repeating the same question thrice now. Well, no one would be able to hold their ground after seeing the photo of a ten-year old kid and being told that the kid has killed 177 people. "Ja-far, this is simply unbelievable!"
The Albino beside him nodded, "It's true, believe me or not. I couldn't believe it at first. But you see, he was always there when those 177 murders occurred and seven, mind you, SEVEN people testified that same kid did it. Police never believed them, I mean, he's like, only ten. How could he?"
A sweat dropped from Sinbad's chin. "Name, what's this kid's name?"
Ja'far gulped, like he was gonna tell a grave secret, " His name is Aladdin."
