Chapter 4: Info-chan – Cycle
…
It feels like everything keeps repeating.
The same stories, the same chaos.
Everything is the same.
Even the atrocities committed by others is the same.
Everything is part of a cycle.
Even she is part of the cycle.
And I know this one all too well.

April 11th, 2016 - Monday - Sunny weather- Cherry Blossom blooming season ends in two days
…
I have been waiting for this moment for too long.
My computer was on; the light was illuminating my face as I let my fingers glide about on the keyboard. Typing at an inhuman speed, I let my mind take in the information before me, folders and folders that each held dirty dark secrets of others…
But my mind was distracted.
I couldn't stop myself from thinking about it.
The cycle.
The cycle that has plagued this town for so long.
A cycle that won't stop unless someone puts a stop to it.
I thought back to when I first learned of this cycle, when I was so little. Primary school, to be exact. When he moved to town.
The first time someone new moved to this town in… Well… Decades. Or maybe longer. I have no idea any longer. All I know, is that the town seemed to shift ever so slightly. That with someone new, that everything was now off.
This eventually led to my father leaving the country, with that woman following him.
I know why he left, I know what he was trying to prove.
I know what she is.
This started with me finding a story, on an anonymous image and message board. A story that came from over a thousand years ago. A story that made me realize what I felt, a story that made me realize what I had to do.
This story tells how a small town near a large hill in southern Honshu became a home for a demon.
How this woman loved a human, who turned destructive when he strayed too far from her gaze. How this woman killed all who even looked at him, how she took him and made him her husband. How she held him away from the light of the sun, and turned him to a hopeless person who gave the woman a child.
This child would then go on to create the cycle of Buraza Town. Where the child would grow into a woman, find a man she "loves" as her own, and soon would kill at least one person for their chosen. Soon the cycle would add how certain… types of people would appear.
Soon the cycle included the woman, the chosen, a friend of the chosen, a sibling of chosen, a person who knows of the woman, the person who tries to stop the woman, the women who try to save the chosen… And finally the person who tries to break the cycle.
Over and over, this would happen to this town. Over and over, these women are free to prowl around until they find their chosen, not caring how they get their chosen, not caring who they kill or destroy to get their chosen. These women… No, these demons need to stop. To be stopped.
I don't have solid proof on what that woman is and what she did, but I can do something else.
I can break this cycle. I know that my role is now part of the cycle, but this cannot continue.
I just need to find some proof.
…
I should be shocked, feeling something for this.
But seeing how she sees him… How that girl sees that idiotic boy…
To see the girl pick her chosen.
I should be doing something besides watching the cycle start again.
But I cannot pull my eyes away from this.
Because I now know what I can do to break the cycle.
…
I put the message in her shoe locker. I don't know why I did it, but I can't just walk away from it, I need to do something.
If she responds, then maybe…
Maybe I can set a trap.
All I need is for her to do something, anything that could cost the life of just one person.
Once just one person dies, and I catch it… I can break the cycle. No one else has to continue living a life like this. The town can be free.
My phone buzzed beside me, I knew without looking at it that she responded to me.
What do you want. Who are you?
I answered her, the two of us throwing messages back at each other as my mind played every scenario. She will resort to murder; I know she will.
Monsters like her family, like her, never change.
Sacrificing someone, anyone, will be worth it. No matter who else has to die, I need to see them get what they deserve. Not just for me, but for everyone else that was hurt by them.
I will have my revenge on them.
…
AN: I know it is short, but there wasn't much for Info-chan to do at the moment. I just needed to throw out our conflict. Plus to finally have a chapter to explain the title. Not the longest chapter in the world, but long enough to get my point across. So onto reviews!
lickthecloth: tiddays will appear when the time is right. I want this to turn M-rated at some point. But until our characters actually for a real bond, you will have to deal with clothed tiddays until then. At some point.
Info-Chan: Let's just hope no one dies. If someone dies, it's game over.
So, until next time, rate and review! Thank you, for following the development of Breaking the Cycle.
