Chapter 1: A New Criminal?
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. - Shakespeare
It started out as a mere fascination during her childhood years. She loved that deep dark red color running through her veins. At first, a few drops would already satisfy her as she looked at it under the microscope totally enthralled. She never got tired of identifying the basophils, neutrophils and eosinophil. Finally her hobby became a full on obsession when they dissected a cadaver back in medical school.
Hyousetsu Hermia took the black briefcase given by the silver-haired man. "Thank you." It was lighter than she thought as she let it fall to her side. "Are you sure you don't need any compensation?"
Shogo Makishima called her out of the blue and offered to help her collect as much human blood as she wanted. She declined him multiple times but finally gave in when she accidentally cut herself while preparing dinner. How'd he find her?
It was still cryptic the way he said, "I know when a person has a burning passion of wanting to do something that is not accepted by the Sibyl System." It was over three days ago and yet she can still feel his intense hatred.
They stood in an empty basketball court in the middle of the day. The passing of the train masked any sound. She wasn't his first customer, she thought, because he seemed to enjoy fulfilling people's twisted wishes. The other thing is he looks angelic with the way the sun shone upon his face bringing out his bright golden eyes. There's more to him than meets the eye.
He just smiled, sinister yet innocent and replied, "Knowing what you're going to do about it is already enough."
A thin line formed on her lips. "If you don't mind my saying," she paused to look at him through her black sunglasses, "you don't fit the profile of someone supplying illegal things."
He tilts his head yet his smile never falters. "A common misconception nowadays. This society thrives because of the dependence of people on the Sibyl System by telling people who they should be." Even through her sunglasses his eyes bore into hers. "Our future depends on some scanner at the same time it can also be our demise. Many people resent this. And because of this crude system, no matter how impeccable a person may be, this causes one to do things beyond the accepted norms." She felt the hate emanating from him as he spoke.
"The Sibyl System can also be one's demise." She said thoughtfully. "Those who live are those who fight."
He smirked. "Indeed according to Victor Hugo."
She nodded and turned to leave. "By the way, I know that anyone can commit heinous crimes. I can say this because I'm about to commit one, and yet I don't seem the type to do such a thing. I only said that so I can find your ulterior motive."
She started walking away and said over her shoulder, "Now I know why. Good luck on your endeavor."
He looked at the retreating figure of Miss Hyousetsu with a new found interest on the medical doctor. Will she be part of his collection of toys?
Story picks up at Chapter 6 ^^
Hopefully you'll give this a chance (:
