Chapter 1-3

"Older bro! Older bro!" I rush inside a room.

"Can you remember to knock before barging into my room? It's the middle of the night." He asks while dusting his square glasses.

"That's no fun! We're very close siblings, so there's no need for any privacy between us! I'm an open book to you about anything, so you must be the same in return!"

"How is that suppose to be fair? You could at least refrain from sharing a bath with me."

"Not happening! How else are we suppose to wash each other's back!?

"We could use a-"

"Enough logical searching for a answer, because you're never going to find one that'll satisfy my illogical desires! Let's go!"

"Hah..." He sighs. "Where?"

"To my school, we're going break in to put firecrackers in my classmates school shoes, draw all over their desk, and so much more! What fun, right!?"

"...Why?"

"Those dumb motherf***ers made fun and laughed at me in class yesterday for the awesome stunts I pulled off. So what I failed on my last finale, they should take my previous ones as consideration and not laugh! I-I didn't cry and wet my pants or anything like that if that's what you think what happened, because it didn't!"

"Of course not. Don't you think you're making a big deal over nothing? Just forget about it and move on."

"I won't! They deserve what they get! And you're going to help me, since quietness isn't a strong point of mine! You're smartness is useful when used by me!"

"Listen, I really can't play with you right now. I got a multiple prep school tests to study for. I have no time to go to your public school and-"

"Older Bro~ Pretty please~"

"Damn it... I guess I can pull an all-nighter with the time expended from these shenanigans."

"That's my dependable Big Bro at work. For a second, I thought I would have to hold you down and give you some loogies and noogies till you say yes. Looks like you're actually learning something useful. From me no less. Aren't I a treat?"

"..."

"Thanks for willingly helping me. I love you!"

"Y-Yes, I know..." He turns red facing away from me. "We're bound by blood after all."

"Yeah, we are! Now, let's sneak into my school and cause some mischief!"

"Okay."


*Ding dong, bing bong*

Turning on handbook expecting to hear nothing.

"Nyaa. Morning students. I hope you had a nice peaceful rest. The time is now 7 a.m. and nighttime has come to a end. Time to get up and dust that sand out of your eyes. Prepare yourself to welcome another despair inducing day!"

This translator sure is useful. Morning, huh? The windows shut off make it difficult to tell.

"Why...?"

...Was I having a dream about my Older Bro- Hyobu! And I about our past. I showed that studious square how to live and he helped me get away from my deviant acts. Those were some good times for the both of us. Till that ungrateful square, he...! No use thinking about it now. Thinking never leads to anything good if you go overboard. I believe people call it overthinking. I just realized there was a term like that.

What I should do instead is thinking of how I'm going to mindlessly kill a person or two. I'll start with one then decide who to kill next if I'm feeling the mood. I don't want to be unnecessary greedy.

I head to the cafeteria. I'm bloodthirstily hungry from going to sleep famished. After getting a bite to fill my belly, I'll be fully ready to commit some murder.

There I see Freed, Yukie, Naoki, Shina, Shichi, and Masumi.

"Takara's here." Naoki informs. "That makes her bitch number four to arrive here."

"Hm. For someone who wasn't informed about it you made it at a acceptable time compared to some people who haven't arrived yet. You're timing was decent." Freed compliments.

"It?" I confuse.

"After the morning announcement call by Monohyou, Freed went door to door to gather everyone to a meeting at the cafeteria." Yukie explains.

"Good timing though, since I have some complaints about certain people's... habits." Shina mutters.

"I arrived early so I can grab some early grub." Shichi informs.

"Though there was some trouble..." Masumi drifts.

"Some people had the nerve to say it was too early for a meeting, so I had to rearrange it to noon instead of seven!" Freed growls.

Wait, what time is it?

I look at the clock. Noon!? When I last checked, it wasn't long after seven. ...Unless, I did it again. Fall right back to sleep after getting up. That habit is a hard to shake off.

"Well, sorry for being human." Zai enters. "Seven in the morning just doesn't work well with me. Noon was barely acceptable, but here I am. Care to put a smile on?"

"I'm... close in considering to punch you..."

"Take a number." Shichi warns. "I got first bite."

"Man, why must I be so popular?" Zai sighs.

"Here I am!" Hoshiyo dashes in.

"For a runner, you got here late. Do those jugs of your slow you down?" Naoki asks.

"Nope, I just lost track of time running around!"

"Takara." Yukie calls. "You don't look so good."

"Yeah, I haven't gotten a bite to eat since coming here." I admit.

"Then, you should go before the others arrived."

"Right!"

As I open the kitchen's door...

"Takara, park it!" Freed orders. "Everyone has arrived, so we'll began this delayed meeting."

Damn it.

I take a seat.

"I called everyone to discuss various topics. First will be what we discover on our investigation. I'll start!" Freed volunteers. "I rechecked the school grounds and nothing needing to tell has changed. That is all. Who would like to go next?"

Strange, he didn't say anything about the locked A/V Room. Could have Hyoma picked him as the mole? Better keep him as suspect number one for now.

"I will." Reika raises her hand. "Kanon and I searched the public bath's changing room. They was nothing there except a lack of cameras. The same was for the public bath themselves, right?" She stares toward Soshi and Masumi.

"Right." Soshi answers for them. "Not one. I suspect Monohyou didn't put one cuz the lens would fog up."

What!?

"Excellent deduction Soshi." Freed compliments. "I thought you were just a scatterbrain, but looks like looks can be deceiving outside America where danger comes in complex forms of terrorism."

"Thanks... I think."

I might kill him.

"Soshi~" Kanon takes out a concealed towel. "It's not nice to take credit for someone else's work. Who was the one who suggested to look for any cameras in the first place?"

"You..."

"Who was the one who checked the public baths while you took a soak?" Masumi questions.

"Me..."

"Who was the one who actually-" I starts to ask.

"Ahem! Okay, okay! Let's just say it was a team effort. Cool?"

"Yes, minus you... and Masumi." Kanon replies.

"Why me?" Masumi asks.

"Because, like monkey's, cleaning after yourselves is its own reward. Probably your kinds fault we got stuck here in the first place."

"That's... not fair."

Imagine if she found out, its my fault. She be... not sure.

"I found a laundry room." Yukie speaks. "Perfect for getting our clothes washed."

"Good to hear." Shina states. "No excuses for lack of hygiene."

"We should draw up a schedule for which gender gets to wash their clothes at what time."

"Huh, why?" Zai confuse. "Can't we just put each others clothes in all together?"

"Heavens no!" Shina glares. "Do you know how immoral you're proposal is!? God... Where to start? First off-!"

"Calm down. I was just kidding. Anyway, I don't see why we should take turns washing clothes. When I check the place out, there was more than one washing machine."

"There doesn't have to be a reason."

"'Zai got a good point." Freed admits. "Ridiculous to have such a spoiled standard in this terrorist situation. With no clear reason, I say-"

Looks like I'll have to give him one...

"I do my laundry in the nude all the time!" I shout out. "I can't iron without being completely naked to having a exposing apron on at most!"

"...Fine, we'll discuss the time table later. Takara, you have some serious problems, I suggest you go to a shrink after this kidnapping thing is all over with..."

Never heard that one before.

"Takara, be sure to tell me what time you'll do your laundry~" Kanon whispers sweetly.

Never heard that one before... from a girl.

I give a secret thumbs up to Miss Yukie but she returns it along with some look of pity. Is it directed at me?

"Me and Damon ran around everywhere, but still couldn't find anything helpful." Hoshiyo informs.

"Actually, you ran, and I stopped half way gasping for air." Damon informs. "Also, didn't we find there was another gate door to the second door like back at the school ground?"

"It's locked so there's need to bring it up."

"I guess so, but..."

"Emiri what did you find out?" Freed questions.

"Tell him." Emiri orders me.

"O-Okay." I comply. "Miss Emiri checked out the incinerator, and gave me a key to it."

"A key?" Freed inquires.

"Yes, its called the shutter gate's key. She got it from Monohyou saying someone must be responsible for cleaning duty. All the trash we make is to be collected and burned here weekly to keep the school from overflowing."

"Give it to me."

"Huh?"

"Only someone with responsibility can handle this task. You don't seem capable so I'll do it."

"Sure?" I give the key to him as the meeting continues talking about boring stuff.

I thought about using the key as part of my killings, but it would be too obvious since there's only one. I don't want to get caught.

"The rest were in here as I recall. If no one else has anything to say, this meeting is done till next time. We'll meet everyday at noon. Remember or I'll come get you." Freed leaves the cafeteria after saying. "None of you should do something you'll regret."

I will have no regrets.

Everyone leaves not in the mood to stay except me.

"*Growls*"

Finally food time!

I try opening the door.

!

"..." Monohyou stands in my way.

"What the hell do you want?!" I turn on my handbook's translator.

"Nyaa, sorry to say this put the kitchen will be temporarily closed."

"What?!"

"Nyaa, I must do one of my random storage checks to make sure the food is not contaminated. Sorry, no food for you!"

"F*** YOU! What did I ever do to you to deserve such torture?!"

"Nyaahaha! Don't let food blind you from your goal. If you want to eat, fill your stomach with bloodlust like a wild predator in the jungle. That'll fill you up real good while hunting for your prey." Monohyou enters the kitchen.

Damn him. But, he's right. Who needs food when I have so much f***ing bloodlust to keep me going? Predator mode on!

I leave the cafeteria to start my hunt.


And scene! Know its been a while. School takes a lot of time away from people. Well, not people who go to elementary, middle, or high school. Hope my writing hasn't gotten rusty or anything. More than enough time has passed so I'll be closing the polls right now, and I'll be starting on them next time. Till then...! The Big bad wolf is... signing out!
