Chapter 9: Confession
"Shizuka!" Fushimi ran to her, and placed his hand under her head.
Her hair was messy, her uniform ripped and her body and face full of blood. She had her sword lying beside her; it was also full of blood.
Fushimi checked for a pulse. She checked her arm, her neck, her… chest, nothing. He panicked, not knowing what to do. But he calmed down when Shizuka moved her arm and snored. He planned to take her to his home, but first he better put these dead bodies somewhere. Instead, he put them in the dumpster.
Shizuka's eyes flutter open as she saw a ceiling in front of her. She sat up but someone pulled her back down.
"J-Just stay down! If you want to get healed, take a rest." Fushimi said as he blushed a bit.
"Fushimi? W-What am I doing here?" Shizuka said.
"I saw you on that alley knocked out earlier with a bunch of dead people. The killer must have attacked them. You were lucky that you were unscathed, but freaking bloody. How come the killer didn't attack you?" Fushimi said.
Shizuka looked down and saw herself in Fushimi's bed. She lifted up the blanket which was on top of her, and saw that she wearing a plain white T-shirt and shorts. "How did I get in these clothes?" she whispered.
Fushimi blushed madly, "Y-Y-You don't want to know." Fushimi recalled what happened earlier:
Fushimi put his one hand under her head and one under her legs. He lifted her up and took her to his home. He landed her on his bed and sat next to her. She stared at her for a minute and touched her face again. He traced the lines of her face, chin, and her neck. Her mouth was opened a little and she let out a little whimper.
He stood up and brought back a basin of water and cloth. He washed the blood out of her face, arms, and legs. After that, he took off her ripped uniform and placed it with his T-shirt and shorts. His face turned crimson red as he took off her uniform, leaving her in her undergarments. After that, he just waited for her to wake up.
Shizuka looked at him with a confused look. But she shook her head, "Thank you. But I have to get out of here."
"What? No. Stay here." Fushimi said.
"You don't understand. I have to get far away from you." Shizuka said.
Fushimi this time was the one confused, "What do you mean? And what I don't understand?"
Shizuka hooded her eyes, "Fushimi… I'm responsible for the murders."
Fushimi gasped, "What?!"
"The rumor is true… Fantasia Elizabeth still exists… And she is me…" Shizuka explained, "… but I don't want to hurt anyone. Remember what the rumor says? She possesses bodies and uses them to do her evil doing? Well, they're wrong about that… she doesn't possess any random body, but she possesses the bodies of her own generation."
"Fantasia Elizabeth a.k.a The Fallen Moon, or… my great, great, great, great, grandmother…" she continued, "… yes, it's shocking. My mother was once possessed by her, which can turn her into a beast any time of the day. When I was 12, my mother told me that someday, she won't be there for me. That's why, if things go wrong, I should not hesitate to do the right thing. At first, I never knew what she meant, until… that day arrived.
"I was sleeping when I heard screaming. When I got outside, I saw my father in shreds. Then I saw my mother, who wasn't any more. She has red eyes. I shivered at the corner and saw a gun beside me. I pointed the gun at her, not knowing what I'm doing. She was going to stab me with a knife when…"
Fushimi finished her sentence, "… you fired the gun at her."
Tears start to fall out of Shizuka's eyes, "Yes… After that, my aunt took me in and I got in high school. That's when I learned that the Fallen Moon took over me next. I never had friends at school. The all laughed at me, teased me, and harassed me. That's when I also learned my lesson. All the things I've done to you then. But one day, the main bully of my class called me the most irritating word I have ever heard… Orphan. But suddenly, I couldn't take it. My grandmother took over my soul, so when I snapped back into reality again, I saw the bully dead in front of me, and my class mates and teacher at the corner, and myself. Blood all over my arm and uniform. Then they kicked me out of school."
"You may never believe it, but I killed my aunt too. I never told anyone about this. I never want to show myself to anyone anymore. A few years later, my grandmother is at it again. This time, she made me join Scepter Four. I never know why, but I didn't. She said that she will leave me alone if I join, and a fool I fell for it. Now, I discovered her plan. Her plan was to get powers from the 7 Kings by killing them and draining their power! And her first target… is your King, Munakata Reisi."
Fushimi couldn't believe what he is hearing. It's just impossible.
"I've tried killing myself years ago, but she kept on appearing and stopping me. The only way to stop her from coming back again, is to break the chain…" she said, "… that's why, Fushimi Saruhiko… I need you to kill me."
Shizuka gave him a dagger and she prepared to get killed. Fushimi put the dagger up and was about to strike her, but… he missed.
"No. I won't." Fushimi said.
"Why? Fushimi, you hate me. Ever since middle school right? I have done so much bad things to you, and now is time to take your revenge…" she said.
"NO! I WILL NOT KILL YOU!" Fushimi shouted.
"Why? Why won't you kill me?! Tell me, why?" Shizuka said.
"It's because…!" Fushimi took a deep breath.
"It's because I'm in love with you, Shizuka."
