Amu glared at Nagihiko's door, waiting for Ikuto to come out of it. When he was late from Tadase's, she only thought he was being a nuisance. But with being late from Tadase's and Nagihiko's, she began to think that they must be trying to convince him of something.
"Those idiots, they just can't seem to understand that the Amu they knew died with the rest of her family and came down here."She thought, her glare intensifying at the door. She was hoping that if she stared at it long enough with enough hate, the door would burst into flames. But before that could be accomplished, Ikuto came waltzing out the door, and soon the object of her desired spontaneous combustion changed from the door to him.
"What?"He asked, looking at her with innocent eyes. Her hands balled into fists, taking all of her willpower to not beat him like a piñata right then and there.
"Don't give me that innocent little 'What?'. You know damn well you're taking up my precious time on my busy schedule."Amu growled beginning to walk briskly to the next room as a scowl was displayed on her face. Ikuto shrugged, putting his hands nonchalantly in his pockets.
"Sorry, I just thought that I could spare the next poor soul a few extra minutes of peace and quiet."He said, following after her in his own brisk pace. Amu's hands balled into tighter fists, and her foot so casually stuck itself out in front of Ikuto's feet to trip him. He fell forward and landed harshly, not at all expecting her foot to have been there. She smirked, placing her boot on his back and putting as much pressure as she could down on him.
"Now listen here; I take what I do here very seriously, so making me late for appointments is the perfect way of getting a knife shoved up your ass and poisonous snakes shoved down your throat. So unless you're some type of masochistic freak of nature who would enjoy that, I suggest you pipe down and focus on following me. Got it?"
"Yeah, got it. Now stop breaking my spine: I highly doubt that would characterize as a baby wound."Ikuto grumbled his mouth filling with dust and dirt from the floor. Amu rolled her eyes, muttering something along the lines of 'baby', but removed her foot either way. Ikuto got up and spat the dust and dirt out of his mouth, with just enough time to get up and hurry after Amu's retreating form.
By the time he caught up with her, she had already reached their destination, and was pulling out the key to the door. "What, no information on this one?"Ikuto asked, watching as she fumbled with the keys.
"You didn't ask, so shut the fuck up about it."Amu spat, finding the key and inserting it into the lock. She and Ikuto entered the room, but at first glance it seemed empty.
"Huh, did the lucky bastard get out?"Ikuto thought, looking around and not seeing any sign of anyone.
"Kairi, you know just as well as I do that a true samurai warrior would face his fears instead of hiding like a little prick." Amu sighed, having been through this many times with him.
"A true samurai also knows when a battle is already lost, and must sit back and assess the situation."A voice said, seemingly coming out of nowhere. Amu's lip quirked upwards before returning to its original position, and Ikuto could only guess that she was ready to pummel him.
"Kairi, if you refuse to come out, then I'll get Yukari in here. And you know she's a bigger threat than I could ever be."Amu threatened, standing ground as she glared at the center of the room. Scuffling was heard, and soon a young boy with blue eyes shown behind glasses and dark ivory green hair was seen coming out to the center of the room. Out of all the prisoners before, he was the most dressed, having a shirt and pants on.
"Hell truly does change people, doesn't it? I remember when Yukari-nee-san was a gentle woman, though she did use force when necessary." Kairi said, glancing thoughtfully at the wall of the room. Amu rolled her eyes, and began to walk over to Kairi.
"Yeah, well guess how life works? Two people get together, one cheats, other finds out and starts plotting, cue the slicing and dicing, and then," Amu paused, grasping Kairi's chin in her hand, forcing him to stare into her eyes that held an almost amused glint in them. "They kill themselves and come down here."
Kairi stared back, his gaze never breaking away from hers. "You know just as well as I do that Yukari-nee-san would never commit suicide. She was stronger than that."
Amu grinned with pure malice, enjoying his denial. "Oh really? You don't think she could've completely lost it when she found out Nikaidou was cheating on her?"
"Stop it."
"That she wouldn't plot their murders, slowly and painfully, before finally killing them? Relishing in the feel of her former lover's blood and the blood of his little slut?"
"I said stop."
"That afterwards she was happy for a little bit, but slowly lost her mind completely from the guilt?"
"Stop talking!"
"Until finally, she put that gun in her mouth, enjoying that cold metallic feeling, and pulled the trigger leading her to Hell?"
"Shut up!"Kairi shouted, tears beginning to burn his eyes. Amu's grin turned malicious as she continued, never once breaking eye contact with him, enjoying the pain she inflicted.
"Oh I will, just first pucker up and let me see what you've done."Amu said softly, closing the gap between their lips. Ikuto inwardly groaned as he watched her go through the process.
"If I have to watch her kiss one more victim, I think I'm going to officially upchuck."He thought, watching as the little wisp of smoke was pulled from Kairi and formed into the necessary screen. The memory instantly began to replay itself almost immediately after the screen had been formed.
Kairi's fingers ran through her hair, his lips busy with hers as they sat on the school roof. He knew it was wrong, but she had been so alluring that he just couldn't resist. So after many days of going behind his current girlfriend's back, he began to court the attractive female in front of him.
He pulled back, panting lightly as he stared into her eyes. Those teal eyes that were staring back at him with adoration and victory behind them as he played with the reddish brown curls of her hair. She had always told him that they were a color known only as "Cinaberry" in the hair care world, while he insisted they were "Egyptian Plum", something she scoffed at when brought up. But neither could deny that whatever color they were, they were luscious and soft.
"I should really get going; they might begin to suspect something."Kairi said softly, his hand lightly stroking her cheek. She leaned into his touch, sighing softly as she held his hand to her face.
"If it's because you don't want that little Yaya girl to think anything, then don't worry about it. She's too stupid to take things seriously, and that's probably why she thinks you broke up with her."
"Yeah…You're right Saaya."Kairi muttered, hiding the nervous tone in his voice. In reality, he had yet to actually break up with Yaya, and was instead going out with both of them at the same time. But, what one knew and the other didn't would hurt him, right? And as he thought that, still silently enjoying the moment between them, the door to the roof opened announcing the arrival of another person.
"Class Prez, Yaya's been looking for you everywhere!"Yaya announced happily, bounding out the door and onto the roof. Kairi's eyes widened as he and Saaya looked over to see Yaya looking at them.
"Y-Yaya…"Kairi stuttered, fear beginning to grip him. Here he was, sitting next to Saaya Yamabuki, stroking her face as she held his hand, and both looking flushed in the face. Not even someone as naïve as Yaya could mistake what had been going on.
Yaya stared at them in shocked silence, before turning her attention totally onto Kairi. "K-Kairi, what's going on?"
Before he could answer, Saaya spoke up for him. "What do you mean what's going on? I'm obviously spending lunch with my boyfriend."
Yaya's mouth scrunched up into a frown. "You're boyfriend? He's Yaya's boyfriend!"
"Ha! What a delusional little twerp you are. Can't you understand that he's completely over you? Or did his break-up with you contain too many big words for that stupid little head of yours to understand?"Saaya said a sneer on her face as she watched for the pain that would soon display on Yaya's face. Yaya puffed her cheeks out, her eyes beginning to brim with tears.
"You're lying! Kairi is still Yaya's boyfriend, because he never said anything about breaking up with Yaya!"
At this remark, Saaya's eyes widened as she glared up at Kairi. "You never broke up with her?"She growled, standing up in front of him. Kairi shrunk back from her, his back hitting the fence of the roof.
"I-I can explain!"
"You cheating little bastard!"Saaya roared, and soon all Kairi could feel were the punches and scratches from Saaya's delicate hands and finely filed nails. He covered his face, trying to keep her from clawing his eyes out, but she only yanked him off the bench and onto the ground, aiming kicks at his stomach and back.
"Get away from him!"Yaya shouted, grabbing onto Saaya's shoulders to pull her away. Saaya turned and glared at her, shoving her onto the ground harshly. Kairi stood up shakily, watching as Yaya hit the ground.
"Y-Yaya…"He muttered, concerned for her safety. Saaya heard him, and soon he was slammed against the fence in mere seconds. Saaya kneed him and slammed him against the fence, screaming at him as tears began to glimmer in her eyes.
"How could you?! You told me you broke up with her! I thought we were actually going to be something special!"She screeched, her nails beginning to claw at his face while her other kept slamming him against the fence. Kairi could try to weakly protect himself from her onslaught, knowing though that it was completely useless.
"I hate you! I hate you I hate you I fucking hate you!"Saaya continued, slamming him continuously with each 'I hate you'. Suddenly, she slammed him with enough force that would most likely have left a dent in a wall, and the fence broke beneath the force. Kairi's eyes went wide as he felt himself freefalling into the air, Saaya's hand having let go from the shock of breaking the fence. All he knew was that he felt a sudden impact, a sharp pain, and then nothing.
When he awoke, all he knew was that he was lying on the ground, nothing broken at all, in a much different place than where he fell. And the voice that he heard speaking to him was enough to cause chills to run up his spine.
"About time you woke up Class Prez."
"My, wouldn't Yukari be so disappointed in her little brother? Being just like Nikaidou, dating two girls at one time and not wanting to get rid of either of them. Why, you're so shameful that you've no right to even say you followed that stupid little samurai code of yours." Amu giggled, still grinning with pure malice as Kairi's eyes still burned with tears, the smoe dissipitating. Kairi gritted his teeth, his hands balling into fists, and suddenly a loud smack was heard in the room.
"That's probably the most idiotic thing a person can do to her."Ikuto thought, watching as she turned her head to face Kairi again, the force of the smack turning her head.
Amu touched the cheek where he slapped her, a red mark already forming. "That wasn't very nice, hitting a girl like that."
Kairi's eyes turned hard as ice, still glistening from the small amount of tears that had fallen. "You're no girl; you're just a monster that's wearing the shell of someone I once knew!"
"Oh good, it's finally getting through to you! And here I thought that you three were going to be complete idiots for the rest of eternity."Amu sneered, her eyes glinting as she mocked him. Kairi glared at her harder, before summoning courage enough to spit right in her face.
As Ikuto watched, he silently was enjoying the show, secretly celebrating the kid's spitfire personality. "About time one of these wimps had some spunk in them."He thought, watching as Amu wiped the spit off her face.
"You know, treating people like that down here will only end with you lying in a pool of your own blood."Amu commented, pulling out a dagger from her under her skirt. Ikuto had idly wondered how she was going to hurt the boy, considering that the room was bare in it, but now that question had been answered with the unsheathed dagger.
Amu dragged the dagger across his cheek, idly watching as a thin line of blood began to trickle down his cheek. "I hope you enjoy that feeling Kairi."She muttered, before plunging the dagger deep into his stomach.
Kairi gagged, as blood began to pour into his mouth, dribbling down his chin. She grinned as she dragged the dagger upwards, stopping just below his ribcage. She then quickly cut to his left, slowly dragging it back so that she could do the same to his right. Kairi grit his teeth, trying to keep the strangled noises of pain down. Amu continued, slowly dragging the dagger downwards to copy her movement from the top, finally yanking the dagger out of his body. He fell to the floor, gasping in pain, blood splashing and pooling around him.
"Punishment done, time to go."Amu said, walking towards the door as she wiped the dagger clean. She slowed her pace as she reached Ikuto, turning her hard gaze onto him, "And you better not be late this time."She growled, exiting the room the minute her threat was done.
Ikuto looked down at Kairi, waiting for him to speak at all. "Are you going to say anything, or did you mean it when you said that monster bit?"
Kairi looked at him, his eyes unseen behind the blood that painted his glasses. "I…meant every word of it. But…there's a chance she could be saved. Slim, but not impossible. Just…Just take that piece of paper in that rock over there."Kairi breathed, pointing shakily at the stone he was talking about.
Ikuto turned to look where he was pointing, noticing that there was indeed a corner of a paper jutting out. He walked over to it, pulling it out and reading over it.
"What is this, some sort of recipe?"He muttered, looking at Kairi. Kairi chuckled slightly, blood spurting out as he did.
"It's what you need…To help her."
A/N: And this, my friends, is what a bitch of a chapter to write looks like. Had slight troubles writing it, and I think these chapters are taking on minds of their own…Which is bad, because that means I have a demonic story (no pun intended) . Hope you've enjoyed! Review, give criticism on my grammar (Lord knows I need it...Feel like I screwed up dialogue rules...) , whatever, and you'll receive a Kairi plush doll! Until next time, JAA MATA!
Dislcaimer: I own nothing. This goes for this chapter, and the last one. So put THAT in your juice box and suck it.
