A/N: The adventures (of horrors) continue in the second part of the Mental Hospital AU! Last we knew of something happened and Tsubomi left. Now we're down to three people in this hospital. But is someone going to come back? How is this torture for Seto? Well find out soon enough.
Things happened. Things always happened. So why would this be any different? Shuuya couldn't understand it. "...She wanted to fly. That's all. Kido said mean things and Ayano said she wanted to fly! Well end the hurt. She so went to fly out the window and I helped I guess? I dunno. All I really remember is that Ayano said she wanted to do what Kido told her to do: kill herself." What was so hard to understand about that? Shuuya frowned slightly as he tried to remember exactly what happened. "I dunno know. I just... If Kousuke said I did it then I guess I did it." He didn't remember pushing Ayano out the window but he did remember cutting himself with some of the glass shards.

"Sh~uu~ya-ch~an!" Mary called out cheerfully. Shuuya just scowled and moved away slightly. "Leave me alone Mary." He snapped. "I'm sorry. Well, I mean I know what you're doing. You're trying to figure out what happened. But Kou-chan told us what you said. I mean it has to be what it looks like. Did you find out the truth? Did you? Ayano was close to the truth!" Mary said with an excited tone. Shuuya let out a cry of disgust. "The truth? Your truth is the falsehoods of the adults, no wait. It's just your delusions. The truth is that you're just crazy." Shuuya retorted. "Aah... Guys what are you talking about?" Kousuke asked as he entered the room. "Nothing Kousuke. We're about to go." Mary said as she moved to leave the room; touching Kousuke's hands ever so slightly.
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Kousuke looked around the activity room. The door had been slightly ajar. No one was allowed to enter ever since the Ayano incident. The broken window was still there, shards of glass were still scattered across the floor. In the middle of the room was... Tsubomi! "...Kido...?" Kousuke asked softly. They looked up at him and suddenly all Kousuke saw was blood splattering all over the place. He froze and his eyes widened. Kousuke's body started to tremble as he saw a figure appear from the shadows. The figure put their finger to their mouth; as if to say 'shush don't tell anyone. It's our little secret.'. Kousuke was disgusted. He moved to approached the other. The figure moved away and started to laugh. "S-Shuuya...?"
Kousuke woke up screaming. His blankets were soaked with sweat and clung to his skin. He looked around, eyes slightly wild. Kousuke attempt to slow down his heart rate. He took in a deep breath before he noticed someone entering the room. "...You're being too loud. Shut up." The voice said. Kousuke squinted and could barely make out any detail. It was one of the kids though. "...Aah. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up." Kousuke said softly. "Well you woke me up anyways. What's up? Bad dream? You found out you're gay? Your girlfriend left you? WHAT ARE YOU YELLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?!" "WHY ARE YOU YELLING?! WHY ARE WE BOTH YELLING?! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" "OH SHIT HARU'S COMING GO BACK TO BED!"
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
The next morning was uneventful. Kousuke had refused to leave bed due to his claims of 'Kido coming back to get him'. Everyone left him alone. As more time wore on Kousuke started to grow bored. After some time, Mary eventually did come to check on Kousuke alongside the nurse, Haru. Mary had seemed to convince Haru that she was worried about him and had been able to follow along with her to his room. Kousuke was quite confused by the fact that they had left him alone so long before finally coming along to check up on him. "Etto...? What are you guys doing-"
That was when the nurse started to slowly approach Kousuke as Mary seemed to linger behind in the doorway as if to observe what was going on...but something was wrong. Haru didn't seem like herself. Her expression was practically blank aside from a grin that seemed to stretch out more and more as she got closer. This caused Kousuke to start panicking. "Come on little boy, hasn't anyone clued you into the lengths Staff here go to take care of in patients here?" She asked Kousuke, her voice not seeming to be her own anymore, it was almost...demonic and corrupted. "You seem to think there is an excuse for your actions Kousuke...? Haven't you learned... that you must listen to your doctors...?"
She continued to inch closer and closer, pinning Kousuke into a corner of the room. "No! Please! D-Don't hurt me!"
"Don't hurt me he says!" She responds, laughing darkly before her voice went to a sickeningly sweet tone. "But I love and care for my patients..." she said. "Come over here now Kousuke..."
"N-No! I-I won't! S-Stay away!" He squeaked out, starting to hyperventilate and tear up.
"Come on now...this injection/medicine will help you..." She responded, now getting close enough to jab the needle into him, Kousuke screeching in pain and fear
...and that was the last thing he remembered before he passed out...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Darkness, there was darkness. And voices, the voices had come back or was it something else...? He's freaking out. Well what did you expect? Is he reacting well to it? How am I supposed to know? Careful, people have said that he was dangerous. I'm sure he isn't. You never know. W-wait! Look out he's starting to move! Stay back! Stay back you monster! Don't come any closer! Ohgodwhyisthishappening?! Thisisallyourfault! IwishIwasdead! Iwishhewasdead! Whyaren'ttheyalldead? Whywon'tyouletmedie?
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
The low humming was what distracted Shuuya. He didn't like it. It annoyed him to no ends. "Will you stop that already?!" Shuuya snapped. Mary just wore a smug smile as she continued. "The truth of the matter will be coming soon enough." She replied. Shuuya just ignored her and glanced over at Kousuke. He was stirring now. "...Ngh... Shuuya?" Kousuke asked as his eyes fluttered open. Shuuya wore a stupid grin as he grabbed Kousuke's hand. "Right here Kou-chan~ What's up?" Shuuya asked. "...What happened? My head hurts..." Kousuke asked. "I dunno know. I wasn't around when it happened. All that matters is that you're better now and—" "Glad to see you're finally awake Kousuke." Mary said softly. Kousuke just let out a shrill scream.
"Next time don't scream so loud." Shuuya muttered as he leaned against the door. "...I'm sorry..." Kousuke replied. "Oh for fucks sakes stop saying that!" Shuuya snapped. Kousuke shrank back. Shuuya didn't usually yell at him. "You say you're sorry but are you really?! All that you've done to me?! All that you've—" Shuuya stopped mid sentence and started to smile. "Aah. Sorry about that. I just... Am tired. That's all." Shuuya said. Kousuke just nodded his head as Shuuya left.
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Everything was getting confusing again. Tsubomi had returned, they were now very withdrawn and sullen. They hardly talked to anyone and they seemed to be almost like they were on autopilot. "Hey are you okay?" Kousuke asked softly, slightly scared they would respond by attacking him again. "...I'm fine... I just want to..." Tsubomi's voice started to drift off like they always did now. "...What do you want to do?" Kousuke asked. "...I know the truth. I want this to end." Tsubomi answered. Just then Shuuya ran in. "You've found out the truth? The truth?! THERE IS NO TRUTH! THE TRUTH HERE IS THAT YOU'RE ALL FUCKING CRAZY! WHY AM I HERE?! I SELF HARM! THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL. NO OTHER REASON!" Shuuya screeched as he punched Tsubomi hard across the face. "SHUUYA DON'T!" Kousuke yelled. Once again he could do nothing but cry.
"Why the fuck are you crying?" Tsubomi asked as they stared at Kousuke blankly. A bruise was forming on their left cheek. "...I... I just wish I could help... I just... Feel bad that you're hurt." Kousuke answered. "...You should feel bed later. When you get hurt!" Shuuya snapped. Kousuke let out a whimper before moving behind Tsubomi. "...Etto... What are you doing now Kousuke?" Tsubomi asked, a look of surprise on their face. Kousuke just whimpered some more as Shuuya came closer...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
"Rules of the club... We don't talk about what happens. We do not talk about the truth. We do not attack others. We do not act like babies." Tsubomi said. Shuuya nodded his head while Kousuke looked very distraught. "What's wrong Kou-chan? Too scary for you? Too hard?" Shuuya asked in a mocking tone. "Shu-chan! Knock it off!" Tsubomi snapped. "Sorry Danchou. I'll behave." Shuuya said with a laugh. Kousuke wasn't even sure what was going on anymore. Why did he agree to join this club again? "Okay. First discussion of the day. Dealing with Mary." Oh right, that's why.
"Why bother dealing with her? Just do a lockout." Shuuya replied with a smirk. "We've tried that last week." Kousuke replied. "Oh right..." Shuuya said with a small sigh. "What are we going to do about the problem?" Tsubomi asked. "...Just admit that you know the truth and we're done here." Shuuya answered. "SHUT UP SHU-CHAN! THE RULES!" Tsubomi snapped. "Gomen, gomen!" Shuuya said quickly. Kousuke sucked in a deep breath. This wasn't going to end well...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
"But why this Shuuya? Why would you do such a thing?" "I don't know. I'm making sure that you don't find out the truth." "What even is the truth?! I don't understand!" "I'm here to make sure you don't understand the truth!" "No! Stop it! I'm so confused! I'm just so confused!" "Shush Kousuke. Just know... When you wake up... You'll probably forget us, forget this conversation. Forget about what has taken place." "Shuuya I'm so confused. You've lost me." "That's my job. It's my job to make sure you don't remember!" "Don't remember what?!" "The real reason why you're here!" "What reason?" "Exactly!" "Wait... Why did I even come here in the first place? Why am I here? Why can't I remember?" "It's not important Kousuke. Just forget this conversation. Just forget what has taken place for now..." "BUT SHUUYA!" "Goodbye..."
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Kousuke let out a screech as he bolted awake. Why was he even here again? He honestly couldn't remember. What was here again? Where was here again? Nothing was coming to his mind it was all blank. He had to go to the bathroom. Kousuke got up and left his room. He quickly wished he hadn't. Shuuya was in the hall, stabbing Tsubomi over and over again. Shuuya was giggling like a child. "...S-Shuuya?" Kousuke whispered. Shuuya quickly spun around to face Kousuke, blood was all over him. "Aah. Kousuke! Tsubomi knew the truth! She wanted to tell you! I made sure she didn't! I made sure! Now you're safe! Now we'll stay here together!" Shuuya babbled. "Why did you kill them...?" Kousuke asked in a horrified tone. "I DID IT SO YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE!" Shuuya screeched as he charged at Kousuke. "PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" Kousuke screamed as he covered his face. "Why would I ever hurt you Kousuke? I need you. You need me. It's so simple. Can't you understand me? How we're supposed to be together? We're going to be friends forever. I won't let anyone ever take you away."
You belong to me Kousuke! Me! Only me! I won't let you leave me! You're mine! Mine! I won't let them take you away! I won't let you leave!
"S-Shuuya no! Stop this! I don't want this!" Kousuke shouted. Why wasn't Haru coming?! Why wasn't anyone coming?! "You're mine. I won't let you leave. I won't let them take you away. You're mine. I refuse to be alone again. Stay with me Kousuke. Stay with me forever!" Shuuya was becoming more and more crazed. This has to stop. "...S-Shuuya please stop!" Kousuke begged. "I won't let anyone take you!" Shuuya screeched. Kousuke let out a cry of anger before he shoved Shuuya against the wall. "YOU KILLED MY FRIENDS!" He snapped. "I saved them, I saved you, I saved us. Now you can't leave. Now you won't leave." Shuuya replied with a psychotic grin. The window wasn't too far away— Kousuke started to drag Shuuya closer to it. "W-what are you do-doing Kousuke?" Shuuya asked, fear starting to fill his eyes. "Ending this." Kousuke said before he shoved Shuuya through the glass. Kousuke sucked in a deep breath before he broke down crying.
