Hi there! Yup, this is another OtoShie story! This one is a continuation of the OtoShie IF one-shot in my Akuma no Riddle IF series. Even if you haven't read it, you can still understand this story. The only thing you need to know it that this story happens in an AU where none of the AnR went to Class Black.

warning: This story will be darker then my other OtoShie story, Bully & Bullied.

Kenmochi Shiena had never been so happy in her entire life. She never thought she could have find so much happiness. The last time she felt happy was when she was invited to join Collective Dismissal. But the happiness she had found was way more pleasant, it wasn't related to murder or bullying. What she had found recently was love.

It all happened when she had been sent on a mission to find the person who had murdered the girl she was supposed to avenge, the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper of the 21th Century. When she was investigating a neighborhood where the serial killer had strike multiple time, Shiena had met a certain girl who at first looked like a bully. But she eventually came to the conclusion that this girl was in fact worried about her safety and proposed to walk her home. Then, feeling bad to let a girl who seemed like the serial killer's type of victim walked alone during the night, Shiena had invited her to stay for the night. This is how their story began, and Shiena eventually fell in love with this girl and they started dating. And this girl name was...Takechi Otoya.

Everything went well between them at the beginning. Otoya may be a tease sometimes, but she never crossed the line. She often came to visit Shiena at her apartment. It was Otoya who had asked her out first, and since Shiena had feelings for since a while, she had accepted to go out with her. They had kept contact after the night of their meeting, texing each other often, and then seeing each other. Shiena felt so happy to have such a kind, cheerful and beautiful girlfriend. She never thought it would happen to her, it almost felt like a dream...

...and then the dream turned into a nightmare.

"Otoya...what...what have you done?"

Shiena was witnessing a rather gruesome scene. A young woman was lying on the ground, in a pool of blood. Her body was awfully mutilated, there was no way she could still be alive in that state. And next to her there was Otoya, who was holding a bloody pair of scissors. Slowly, her girlfriend turned back, to gaze at her with a surprise expression.

"Oh, Shiena-chan...you weren't supposed to see that."

There was no way that it could be a misunderstanding. Her sweet and kind girlfriend wasn't the person she thought she was. She was without any doubt a murderer.

The brunette had ended up witnessing that by total coincidence. When she had exited from her workplace, Shiena had made a quick stop at the bookstore and had noticed Otoya, walking with a woman. Curious and also worried about what her girlfriend was doing with another girl, Shiena had followed them, until they reached a house. Otoya and the woman had went inside and Shiena, too confused, had stayed outside until she had heard terrible screams of pain. Since the door wasn't lock Shiena had been able to go inside. This is how she ended up discovering this gruesome scene in the basement.

"Well, I guess there's no way I can explain that. So this is the end. What a shame, I actually like you." Otoya declared with a stoic expression.

When she was her girlfriend heading towards her with her bloody scissors, Shiena knew what was going to happen. But she couldn't believe that it was real. How can the girl she loved be a murderer? A part of her still wanted to hope that Otoya wouldn't hurt her, but she had to accept reality. She was most likely going to be killed. When she fully understood her predicament, Shiena began to recoil, but she ended up cornered, while Otoya was still walking towards.

"O-Otoya, please...stop! I..I won't tell anyone about what I saw, so please, let me go!"

But Otoya didn't listen. She eventually reached Shiena, who had begin to shiver from fear. She knew she was about to die if she did nothing. But what could she do? Otoya was facing her, armed, ready to kill her.

"Since you already brought be so much pleasure, I'll make you a favor and kill you quickly."

This was the end. It was only a matter of seconds before she got stabbed. But she didn't want to die. She was scared. And desperate to find a way to survive. She then had a sudden idea, a last desperate attempt to save her life. She was sure that it wouldn't work, but in her current situation, what else could she do?

Without warning, she suddenly approached her face from Otoya's one and kissed her on the lips. Otoya did nothing to stop her, she even reciprocated the kiss. When Shiena thought that it might distract Otoya enough so she could escape, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her thigh. Shiena immediately broke the kiss and uttered a scream of pain, before she collapsed on her knees. Her thigh was bleeding. She had been stabbed there.

Then Shiena started to sob. She sobbed because of the pain, the fear, as well because of her broken heart. She was sure now that she was going to die, all she had left to do was to beg for her help and hope it won't hurt too much.

"P-please, I'm begging you...don't hurt me. I thought...I thought that you loved me..."

Suddenly, Shiena felt a hand gentle patting her head. She looked up and saw that Otoya was giving her a kind smile, smiling like the nice girlfriend she thought she has been until now.

"Of course I love you, Shiena-chan. And I see it's the same for you. Very well, I guess I can keep you alive a little bit more. Sorry for the injury, but I'd to make sure you won't try to run away."

Shiena wasn't sure to understand, but it seemed that Otoya changed her mind about killing her. She let out a sigh of relief. Now all she had to do is to get her hand on a phone and call the police.

Shiena had been lost in her thought and suddenly noticed that Otoya was holding something else in her hands. She realized with terror that it was a baseball bat.

"Now, let's go home, shall we?" Otoya said with a cheerful expression.

Shiena didn't even have the time to raise her arms that received at hit on the head, sending her in an unconscious state.

Shiena just keeps suffering in my fanfics. I'm sorry Shiena-chan.

It's been a while that I wanted to write a more dark OtoShie fic, and I I was recently more inspired thanks to a manga I discover recently, Killing Stalking (warning: it's a yaoi manga). Bully & Bullied is still how I view their relationship, but I believe that with different circumstances, it could have also ended up the way I intend to represent them in this fic.

So let me know what you think, should I continue this fic or not?
