Keiichi threw Rika on the ground. "Come on Satoshi! Let's get out of here!"
"NOT SO FAST!" Rika yelled, "GO BACK! LISTEN TO ME! I COMMAND YOU! OYASHIRO-SAMA COMMANDS YOU!"
Rika screamed this as Hanyuu faded in, "Hau! I didn't say to do anything!" She disappeared again.
Rika glared at the spot that Hanyuu had been when she felt a weight on her. Keiichi was holding her down while Satoshi had disappeared somewhere.
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!" She yelled, "IT WON'T FIX ANYTHING!" She saw Satoshi come back into the room, piece of wood held over his shoulder, "No. NO!" She screamed as Satoshi came closer, "YOU'RE RUINING EVERY—" She was cut off when the wood smacked against her head with sickening thud. "STOP!" She was able to get out before the next swing hit her square across the face.
"Watch out, Keiichi." Satoshi said holding the wood back again.
Keiichi bit his lip as he stood up and nodded to Satoshi to finish the job.
Satoshi slammed the wood against the blue haired girl again, and again, and again until her final breath had left her chest and they were both, mostly Satoshi, covered in blood.
"Rika-chan~!" A voice called from the top of the stairs, then a clinking of metal and a scream. Keiichi looked up to find Rena who had dropped a plate of drinks. He glanced at Satoshi and they both ran up the stairs.
"Wh…what happened!" Rena squeaked out, scared and staring at Rika's dead body. Another glance between the two boys, and they had another plan.
Satoshi moved his arm behind Rena, who looked at him worriedly, "Satoshi, what're you do-AHHH!" Rena was cut off with her scream as she was pushed down the stairs. She looked up at the boys standing on the stairs, "Wh…what are you doing!" She yelled.
Satoshi only smirked as he hit the piece of wood against his palm. "We should ask you the same thing…" Satoshi started down the stairs and Keiichi looked out of the cellar then closed it. He followed after Satoshi, finding a bat and dragging it behind him.
"Rena doesn't know what you mean…" Rena replied, "Rena hasn't done anything…Satoko was worried about you, and Rika's mother told me she was down here…I-I'm sor-" She was cut off when Keiichi swung the bat against her skull.
"SHUT UP!" Keiichi swung again, "Just shut," again the bat hit the redhead, "UP!"
Satoshi kneeled down beside Rena, "Why would you two do this? Why would you lock us up like this!" Satoshi asked, hand reaching to his neck, scratching at it lightly then it returned to the piece of wood.
Rena opened one eye, blinking away the blood, "I…didn't…K-Keiichi…Satoshi…" She gulped and reached a hand to her neck, "Please…don't hurt the others…they don't know anything about this…" She took in a deep breath, "E-either kill Rena…or I'll kill myself…" She started to scratch at her neck, harder and harder. "If you think Rena did something wrong…maybe I did…"
Satoshi took her hands and held them behind her head, "We won't give you the privilege of doing that…Keiichi," He looked up at him, "kill her."
Keiichi nodded and began hitting Rena with the bat again. Bright red blood splashed against the floor and the bat. When she was completely dead and gone, Keiichi dropped the bat, and fell forward. Satoshi caught him, and looking down at him asked, "Are you okay, Keiichi?"
Keiichi nodded weakly, and stood up. "L…let's go." He said quickly as he started up the stairs, followed by Satoshi.

Mion pounded her fist on the table. It was after school and the group, minus Rena and Rika, were all at the club meeting. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST RENA!" She screamed.
Satoshi put his head in his hands, "We mean exactly that…we saw her in the woods while we were at the park, playing baseball, she was…running from something. Then she just disappeared. We haven't seen her since."
"And Rika…?" Shion asked lightly.
Keiichi shrugged, "She gave us some weird ball she'd found, then we left. We haven't seen her since…"
"Th…then where were you two?" Satoko asked them, looking her brother deep in the eyes.
Satoshi started, "After we left, we were looking for our coach, 'cause someone said they'd lost a ball not that-" Keiichi snickered; Satoshi glared at him, "What?"
"…He'd 'lost a ball'…sounds painful…!" Keiichi laughed.
Satoshi sighed, blushing slightly, "Anyway…but we couldn't find him. We talked to his wife and she was in tears because no one had seen him in a while. We offered to help her find him. We found him yesterday evening and then went home. We went to play ball and that's when we saw Rena. We came here to tell you that." Satoshi finished.
"Then ya had to go and flip out on us, Mion!" Keiichi said matter-of-factly, putting his feet up on a desk.
Mion sighed, lying her head against her arms on the table in front of her, "Well…what do we do?"
She was given no answer.
