Momoi looked around, feeling as bored as ever, not knowing what to do. An idea crossed her mind, "Guys!" she screamed, making the six guys, who were sitting and eating some fresh food, jump. "Eh, I am sorry, I did not mean to…" she bitterly chuckled, "by the way… aren't you guys bored too?" Hopes in her eyes were killing them.

"Not this shitty Truth or Dare again, Satsuki…" Aomine, both growled and glared at her and the pinkette immediately returned it back, "No, not it, idiot! And it was not shitty, okay?"

"Hmm, whatever…" the tanned man growled again, and lay on the floor.

Momoi ignored her grumpy friend and turned to the others, "Guys… aren't you bored too?"

Everyone was silent, before Kuroko forced a slight smile, "I think, I am kind of bored too."

The pinkette's eyes shone, "Aw, Tetsu-kun. I can always rely on you, can't I?"

Before Kuroko had the time to nod, Kise jumped up from his seat, "I am bored too~ Akashicchii!~" he starting whining and turned to their red haired captain, who just spared him a glance.

"What do you guys think?" Akashi looked at the purple and green haired guys, who understood the red head's question and nodded, Akashi sighed. "Alright… Up for any ideas, Satsuki?"

"Aww, you guys rock!" Momoi exclaimed, making Aomine and Akashi twitch their eyes. "I have an idea!"

-xxx-

Everyone was in silence, watching with un-amused faces.

"Momoi-san… do you really find it amusing?" the bluenette, once again, broke the silence.

"Ummm…" Momoi groaned, "Just watch, in a few minutes, it will become scary and interesting, I promise!" No one seemed to believe in her.

"Satsuki," Akashi looked at her, "are you up for any ideas?" The pinkette was about to say 'no', when Akashi once again spoke up, "If you don't, I am afraid, we will be staying bored for the whole night."

This took Momoi's attention, "No!" she looked down at her laps, thinking of anything, that would combat the boredom, she couldn't think of anything. Then, her attention turned to the scary movie, scary… SCARY! "Guys!" the pinkette cheerfully, looked at the guys, "what if we make up or tell some stories about us?"

"Looks good." Akashi smiled, and the others nodded.

-xxx-

They went into Aomine's room, because all of them agreed, that his was the darker and the tanned guy accepted it with a glare.

"Alright! Everyone remember to be creative!" Momoi smiled at all of them, "Who starts?"

"I will~" Murasakibara murmured, before licking his fingers.

"Oke!" Everyone sat down, most of them shivering in excitement.

"Mm, so;" Murasakibara looked confident in himself, trying to tell his best. "Now imagine, that, mm" he bite his favorite, maibou, and continued, "it is a letter and all of you are reading it. Okay?" All of them nodded, Kuroko and Momoi closing their eyes, deciding, that imagine would be more realistic like this.

"…I write this as an apology to those who are affected by my mistakes." Everyone looked surprised at Murasakibara's confidence and the serious tone he had, right now.. "I hope, that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me, though I will understand if you can't." What in the world 'Murasakibara' asked for an apology?' Kuroko smiled at his thoughts, his purple haired friend really wasn't that stupid, as he thought. The only one, who looked un-interested was the tanned guy, Aomine, lying on the floor, head on his hands. "My wife…" Murasakibara started and Aomine chuckled, wife, "was terminally ill and a few month ago, she died. I was very sad at the loss as she was a marvelous, caring woman. She was kind and everyone, that met her said their lives were better for it. I couldn't bear the pain through, so I did something terrible." Momoi shivered at what would come next… "I will not tell you, how I did it or how I learned to, for enough damage has been done, but I found a way to … bring her back. To raise her from the dead. I could no longer bear to be alone, and I made a terrible mistake in my loneliness.

When I finished the ritual, nothing happened. Not at first, anyway, I was about to re-bury her when I first started to hear breathing. With an understandable measure of joy. I realized, that the sound was emanating from her mouth. I had done it… At the time, I could not fully understand, what 'it' was, but in my blissful ignorance, I carried her home. She was not the same. She was no longer caring, but a primal, instinctive beast." The pinkette's yelp could be heard, making Aomine chuckle. "She howled and screamed, snarled at me whenever I passed. I was worried, not for my own sake, but for hers. She could escape. She could go out and do something to get hurt…" Murasakibara sighed, so dramatically, that almost everyone, except for Akashi and Aomine, thought it was the real story. "Then I locked her in my basement. I never meant to keep her that way. I never knew, that my actions would set a chain reaction of unfathomable horrors into action. I kept her there for as long as I could, but her screams grew more and more desperate. I was chilled to my very core by the screams of by bethrothed, and before long I stood on the rain slick precipice of insanity. I needed to do something." Murasakibara sighed, and Kuroko began to worry, if his purple haired giant really went insane, and thought, which story he was creating, was real. "As so it happened, I was not the only one to hear the screams. My neighbors began to show interest, eventually sneaking onto my estate to snoop around. I caught them in the act, and as I had no explanation for what they may have seen, I attacked them."

"Haha, not bad, Murasakibara." Aomine grinned, receiving glares from the five people and a nod from the teller.

"Don't interrupt him, Daiki."

Aomine obeyed Akashi's orders, and shut his mouth. After Aomine obliged his orders, the red head looked at Murasakibara and nodded. Murasakibara guessed what his captain meant and continued, "After attacking, I feared, that they would tell this act to the others and I locked them in the basement with my wife. This was my second mistake. The first, of course, being, that I raised her in the first place.

That night, I heard the sound of crunching bone.

Upon my awakening in the morning, I went down to check on the neighbors. One was gone, the other was wide eyed, cowering in the corner and covered in blood. Something else was off, too, though, at first, I did not know what. Then it hit me. The screams had subsided. My wife was asleep.

She had fed, and now she slumbered. All this time, the screams were of hunger. I shut the door and went to lie down.

She lasted a few more days, obviously feasting on the other neighbor. It seemed, that she only needed to eat once every few days.

Now, I am not proud of what I did next, but I didn't know what else to do.

I went out at night every few days, around the time, that only a few people would still be around. I stalked the streets and attacked people who walked alone. I took them back to my wife and left them in the basement. I often woke up from my slumber to hear their screams, cries for help. This would always rouse the beast and would never last longer than a minute or so. 10 minutes of crunching and gurgling pleas… Later the deed was done, and I could rest easy for another few days.

It was my actions, that brought about the deaths of so many, and my actions, that robbed so many of loved ones, of closure. How many torn and bloodied rags did I have to burn? How many personal effects were destroyed by my hands? I lost track of the numbers, but surely even one is too high number!" he raised his tone, making Aomine raise an eyebrow, "Eh, Murasakibara. Acting while talking is bullshit."

"Aomine-kun," Kuroko looked at Aomine, his eyebrows were near each other, "please, stop lecturing Murasakibara-kun. Your time will come and you can do whatever you want, now let Murasakibara-kun do the same."

As if Kuroko's talking made Aomine realize something, the tanned guy closed his eyes again. In reality, he wasn't really listening what Kuroko was saying, but he knew, that the bluenette wasn't pleased of his actions, and he calmed down.

Murasakibara looked at both of them, before sighing, "…I was kept awake the its screams – and it shall henceforth be referred to as 'it', for I have come to the conclusion, that this monster is not my beloved. A bight of rest for the lives of so many…

Day by day it grew stronger, its strength either increasing or returning, for I know now, was, that horrible beast was in possession of my wife's body, and as time went on I was forced to bring home more food. Bigger people. Men. Two woman. A woman and a man. Eventually, it was eating a full grown man every day.

I knew, in some dark corner of my mind, that this couldn't go on forever. I could not keep taking people. I was in danger of being caught, and, though, I deserved to be, fear took hold of me and that, I suppose, was why I let, that charade go on for as long as it did. So I decided to flee.

I had just packed my bags, when I heard a knock on my door. The police had found a trail of blood leading through the woods up to my estate and were inquiring as to whether I'd seen or heard anything suspicious. I managed to keep a cool head and talk my way out of what could have potentially been a very unpleasant situation.

As if I deserved it, the monster began screaming. It screamed louder than I had ever heard it scream before, and it sounded mad. The police instantly drew their guns and went in, thinking perhaps some horrific predatory beast had made its way into my home. They eventually found my basement's door and threw it open. Slowly, ever so slowly, they descended the stairs. I was at a loss for what to do, so I did the only thing, I could think of in the heat of the moment.

I shut the door.

Throwing the bolt across, I ran to my quarters and grabbed my bags, making for the door. The screams of the police haunt me to this every day.

I heard the sound of splintering wood as that … thing … burst out of its cell. It was now loose in the house.

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me out of there, out into the streets of the town I had stalked, into a train and I left, that place far behind." Murasakibara sighed, and everyone knew, that he was close to the finish, "My old home is a ghost town now. Splashed with blood, yet no bodies remain. How I long to return to my estate, to gather up all of my research and burn it so, that this might never happen again. I have made many an attempt to do so, in fact, though every time I get near, I hear that beast's wild howls, screaming for flesh.

I know it haunts my home now. I know it wears my wife's skin, but the worst part of all this?

I let it happen." And with, that he smiled, "I am done. Did you like it?" his childish and usual voice was back.

"I did, Atsushi. I have never thought, that you could make up stories, and scare us, but you succeed in it. Now," he looked at the others, "let's see what the others will say; Tetsuya…?"

"Um," Kuroko smiled at Murasakibara, "I am honestly surprised and flattered by you, Murasakibara-kun. You can create some stories, and stuff really good. And it really was a horror story…"

"As always, we think same things. Now, Daiki." Akashi turned to Momoi.

"Honestly, Murasakibara." Aomine sat up and looked at Murasakibara, "I have… I have never thought, that you had interests in the women."

Murasakibara raised an eyebrow, "Eh? Who said, that I have?"

"You said, that you had a wife in this story."

"Mm," he opened the box of maibous, picking up one and biting it. "It was just a story."

Aomine smirked, "And right now, you have asked me something like 'who said, I have interests in woman'," he chuckled, "does that mean, you like boys? For example, Tetsu?"

"Maybe, hm."

"Both of you, shut up." Akashi had his arms crossed, "Satsuki, tell me, what you think of his story."

Momoi was glaring at Murasakibara, because of his last reply, and then nervously smiled at Akashi.

"Uhm. This was really awesome, Mukkun! But it really scared me and I think, I will have nightmares..."

Akashi smirked, "It is a beginning, Satsuki. You are just getting started."
