Ene curled up into a ball and covered her ears.
She didn't want to hear anymore. It was too much.
Mary's shrieking cries filled the air as a dark figure chuckled in the background. Even though she didn't want to hear the begging, the pleas, the sobbing... she heard it all. It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair to her, or Mary, or anyone who had died. THEY didn't deserve this. None of this. And yet, their lives all ended at the hands of someone who they believed was their friend.
Shintarou had kept her hidden in his pocket the whole time, and even though she knew it was completely hopeless for him to try to protect her (she knew how it ends how it always ends she won't live she never survives in timelines just like the rest of them it was only about time only about time until it was her turn), she appreciated the thought and effort he took in protecting her (because if he couldn't save Ayano or protect Momo the least he could do was protect Ene at least try to save one life just save her life because she mattered to him to just save one life Shintarou). But it was only a matter of time until Kuroha realized that he was missing one more person.
And that was her.
She curled up into a tighter ball as she heard footsteps make their way towards Shintarou's body. Mary screamed louder and begged and sobbed and pleaded don't do it konoha please don't kill her too please please stop it stop it and the white haired Medusa screamed and screamed when he approached Shintarou's body and started going through his pockets, pulling out his phone. Ene was hiding behind an app, refusing to come out because she wasn't prepared yet, she wasn't ready please please she needed more time-
"Hello, Ene." She keep hear the sickeningly sweet tone he used, the smirk behind his words as he held Shintarou's phone in his hand. "I know you're in there, why don't you just come out of hiding? It's no use anyway. I want to see your face one last time before you go."
"ENE! DON'T COME OUT PLEASE!" He growled at Mary's words, before letting out a deep breath and laughing softly.
"My queen, you shouldn't have to worry so much about a pesky program. She's going to die, one way or another." Mary replied with an agonized scream, to which Ene could only guess would also involve the poor girl pulling at her hair and clawing at her scalp. Kuroha continued to laugh and shook the phone, as if that would somehow coax Ene out of her hiding spot.
It was no use hiding anymore. She and Kuroha knew this. It was better to just end it all soon, instead of forcing Mary to continue shrieking and begging. The faster she died, the less time Mary had to spend frantically worrying about her life. If she was going to die however, she was going to die with dignity. She was technically, the last one standing after all. Ene wiped away her tears and balled her hands up into fists before coming out of her hiding place to look defiantly at Kuroha (she didn't care if she was still crying, and that she could only see his face through her tears; it blurred out his face and made it unrecognizable, which would make her feel better about being killed by Haruka's copy), eyes set in a glare as she grinded her teeth at him. His smirk only seemed to get bigger, and his laugh became louder as he greeted his next victim.
"Ene! So good to finally see you again!" Mary screamed out a no, but Ene decided to tune her out; listening to Mary plead and cry would only make it harder for her to continue her act.
"Why do you keep DOING this?! It's not fair!" This time, Ene screamed at Kuroha, but instead of anguish and fear, it was anger and pain. This was a man who'd she'd become friends with once, but now the remains what could have been Konoha were gone, leaving only Kuroha to forever haunt her and her friends.
"If I told you, then it wouldn't be fun for me anymore." He pouted childishly before reverting back to his signature smirk. "But this time, this time will be different. I prooooomise!" He grinned at the screen before letting his hand drop, giving Ene a grand view of the floor. In this perspective, she could see Shintarou's body lying on the floor, his blood already soaking into his red jersey, giving it a darker shade. She choked back her tears, not wanting to cry anymore in front of Kuroha. She didn't want to give him anymore satisfaction by crying over Shintarou's body, not when he was around.
Mary's sobs grew louder and louder as Shintarou's body grew smaller and smaller, making Ene realize that they were approaching Mary. The world became a blur as Kuroha quickly brought the phone up to Mary's eye-level, making the girl yell and reach out for her friend.
"Ene!" she cried, almost smiling as she saw the cyber girl still alive "still alive" sounds sorta awkward.. Kuroha backed up a few steps, tutting quietly and holding the phone above her head.
"Now now, little Medusa. If you behave well, I'll let the blue-haired virus live. However," he squeezed the phone tightly, causing the screen to crack in the corners and making Ene cry out in shock, "if you misbehave, I'll have to end her life." While Mary wailed and agreed to his terms, Ene found herself shocked and confused.
He was letting her… live? But why? And for what purpose? This had never happened in the previous timelines before. In fact, he always killed her without a moment's thought. What was he planning to do with Mary? She banged on the screen and yelled for the black-haired horror's attention.
"Hey! What the hell are you planning?!" She was answered in chuckles, before being brought down to face the yellow-eyed monster himself.
"All in due time, my little virus."
"...What did you call me?" His grin brightened a bit before pressing his lips against the screen between him and her face.
He was kissing her. Somehow.
Both she and Mary made startled, confused noises.
A/N: For some reason, I've delved into KuroEne territory, and I can't escape. Which is a real shame because I got like, five other fanfics in the works. Oh well. KUROENE TAKES PRIORITY FOR NOW.
Depending on how this goes, there may or may not be smut.
