I'm about to lose my sanity, my dear humans. Armed with a bloody sword and some monstrous intent to kill, I end up standing before Shizu-chan and Niekawa— reciprocating her threat of killing us. It all started that night when she actually threatened to kill me as well…
However, Vorona comes to save us and then the police appear for another investigation. Shizu-chan has also escaped from the hospital to be with me at this time of my life. It's not only my life that is in danger… even my sanity is threatened to diminish…
After another weird dream about something, I step out of the room and eventually hear Fujiwara and Niekawa talking about the bodies. Soon, I end up running up the attic in where I get to meet with a talking sword. Having it in my hand feels like I'm unstoppable… and I will not doubt killing Niekawa.
Blades, blood and bodies rack the manor's peace, what else could happen in this sexy life gone wrong?

Tick-tock. The clock loudly ticks as everyone stares at the scene before them. Niekawa hisses at her state and she suddenly slips through the crowd to escape. Like fuck I'll let her. I chase after her as soon as she moves… the people getting out of the way since we're both armed. I can hear Shizu-chan and Shinra calling for my name. But there's no way I would even let her go now.
By the way she moves, Haruna Niekawa is being filled with terror and hysteria. I can hear her insides screaming for help. Takashi! Takashi! Heh! Call out… the fucker's not gon'na save you! A devious smirk begins to mark my face as I chase her down from my room, down the stairs, to the lounge, to the dining, to the kitchen, back to the lounge, and finally out the garden…
It never occurs to me that it has been raining yet again and then bleeding woman stumbles upon the muddy garden soil. She lunges at the soft land and then she struggles to crawl away from. I then start hearing her sob and scream in dread… as I practically drag the bloodied sword along the mud. She then feels the mud burdening her body— restraining it from movements…
"Are you going to kill me in front of the inspectors!?" Niekawa screams across the garden and then she laughs out hysterically, "That's right! Show them you are monsters! You! And Shizuo Heiwajima!" However, I cold-heartedly stare down at her which makes her twitch differently. I then smirk bigger and then I whisper as I swing the sword for one full slice at her…
"Law stalls pain and justice never comes to those who don't seek. Judgment rests in my hand. I have a weapon and a shield. In order to protect… in order to love…"
And before I can even slice her to pieces, a hand grabs my wrist nearest to the hand holding the sword. It gets so forceful that I even feel like my wrist has shattered… making me drop the sword. Screaming in pain and feeling suddenly weak, my knees suddenly wilts and the person behind me catches me by the waist. My head dangles halfway and then I look over my shoulder to see…
"S…Shizu-chan?"
However, his face is way more bone-chilling than dead corpses. Just one look makes me numb and I can't even help but to tremble. He then casts his murderous gaze upon the girl on the mud, "Haruna Niekawa, please just surrender." The girl, however, grabs the sword and aims to do a revenge on me for her hand. But Shizu-chan is able to pull me back— as he sends a bone-cracking kick to her abdomen.
Haruna groans at the pain and she somewhat gets thrown towards the shed. Her fall destroys the wooden door… and then she lands at squishy objects that almost painted her arms red. At the very sight, she screams and then she crawls away from the place in complete hysteria. She has been screaming badly and everyone gets to join us is looking at what could have startled her.
My fine arm holds on my mouth as I almost puke… trying to regain balance with Shizu-chan's hold. The master of the house stares at the squishy things at the shed… everyone else gasping at the sight. Chopped bodies of policemen are found at the shed and it seems that it has happened once again. They seem to be the people who I have dreamt of. After the very dream of having the sword talk to me…
"What in the world?" Fujiwara whispers and then Inspector Tanaka speaks, "…That's it, Shizuo. I'm calling a thorough investigation." Shinra then shrieks and he runs off away. The inspectors see his action and then Fujiwara chases him, "Hey! Stop right there! No more evidence hiding!" I then put my gaze back to Niekawa who gets cuffed by Inspector Tanaka and Erika and Vorona are giving first-aid to her arm.
Shizu-chan is watching them do so as well and then I notice Kyohei-kun staring down at the sword. Even with a broken wrist, I pull myself away from my lover— Shizu-chan twitching at my action. I then walk towards Kyohei-kun and picks up the sword weakly, "This is dangerous, Kyohei-kun. I'm not letting anyone else touch this…" Unlike earlier, the sensation of being strong is not present and I can't even hear its voice… "Fat-ass motherfucker…"

Chapter 11: I Love You
…
Everyone else has been requested to be at the lounge as the police search the whole area. The daughters are there… Anri-chan tucked in my arms while Akane-chan feels so lonely next to me. Shinra has run around the house earlier but even until now, he's nowhere to be found. Even Fujiwara is standing there with us and the other policemen are transporting the chopped bodies… away from the girls' sight.
Shizu-chan and Inspector Tanaka are talking seriously at a far end of the room… their argument faintly heard by the people on this side of the room. Fujiwara is eyeing at them and then she speaks, "So what are you people going to do? I mean…" She then gazes at us, "Excuse the children— but… you're keeping bodies at your garden? What do you think of them? Some kind of fertilizer?"
"Bodies?" Akane then shudders and then I cup my hand at her head, "I'm so sorry, Inspector Fujiwara. But can we talk without the children?" She just frowns at me… as if screaming a 'no' within her. Akane-chan then looks at me, "Orihara-sensei… what does she mean… bodies?" I gaze back at Akane-chan and then Anri-chan whispers, "…Offenders."
"…Uso…" Akane-chan then starts to cry and she turns towards the police that are transporting the dug bodies from the garden. The staff gasps as they see the two girls turn to the stretchers covered in white yet soon dirtied cloths. Akane-chan— to my surprise— then whispers, "Sensei…" I look more at her and then she whispers at me, "Where's Mommy Celty? Isn't she upstairs?"
"Mommy Celty? Upstairs?" Anri-chan echoes and our little whispers have caught much of the inspector's attention, "There's someone else upstairs?" Police on stand-by then rushes upstairs and then Akane-chan grasps at my hand, "Sensei!" Anri-chan then grabs my other one, "Mommy." The girls then begin staring into each other's eyes again like they did once.
And for once, I just don't want to give a fuck about both of them. The wrist Akane-chan is holding on is shattered but the pain isn't enough to distract me from thinking about the sword. Just earlier, I feel like it suddenly took control of me… permitting only such emotions to act upon on and forbidding me to think about the consequences. That moment… I only think of killing Haruna Niekawa…
"Izaya!" A voice comes down calling me and then we all see Shinra struggling from the hold of the police. I can only stare at him and then the men bring him to us… the doctor then throwing himself to my feet. I look down at him and then I hear him whisper, "Izaya… help me find her. I can't find her. She's not there…" I frown at him and then he answers my visual inquiry… "Celty."
"Celty?" I then break out a bitter grin and then he begins shaking my knee with his trembling grip, "I know you know about her. She's not there when I looked for her! The case is broken! Izaya! Help me find Celty! I won't let anyone take Celty away from me!" My body starts to earn goosebumps as I watch Shinra makes his loud pleas. In front of his 'daughter' and to everyone else, he begs as if there's no tomorrow.
To be honest. If only I haven't gone through his psychotic streak, I wouldn't actually believe he is this obsessed with Celty Sturluson. I gaze back at Akane-chan who is giving me the same pitiful gaze… and then Anri-chan tightens her grip at my arm, "Mommy, don't." Her usual empty and sometimes charming eyes stare at me as if warning me of something bad…
It feels like she's stopping me from meeting Celty… who has broken out of her glass case. There's no doubt if she can actually possess her own preserved body… what is she planning to do with it anyway? I then turn my gaze to Shizu-chan who is still talking with the male inspector… and then back to Shinra, "But Shinra, we aren't allowed to move away from this seat."
"…What if they find her, Izaya? What if they attack her and take her with them!? I'm not allowing that!" He shakes my knee some more and if seems that he has finally earned the attention of the master and the male inspector. They then walk towards us and Shizu-chan asks about the strange scene, "Shinra, what's wrong?" Shinra then wails at my lover, "…Celty! Shizuo, Celty's gone! And I don't know where she went!"
"—! There's no way that thing will move, Shinra!" Shizuo tenses up in horror and then we hear Haruna Niekawa laugh out as she weakly limps over a chair in which she is bound, "Monsters are starting to awaken and soon… they will eat you up…" The female inspector looks at everyone else and then Inspector Tanaka face-palms himself, "What the fuck is wrong with this house?"
"Believe me, Shizuo! She isn't there anymore!" My hubby then kneels down at Shinra and he shakes the doctor, "Listen to me, Shinra. Celty is dead and there's no way her body would move around like a frigging zombie!" The bespectacled man then lowers his head and then I turn to Shizu-chan, "Shizu-chan." My lover turns to me and I detach Anri-chan, Akane-chan and Shinra from me…
"I know this sounds stupid but I kind'a believe Shinra. Celty Sturluson might be walking around like what he said. I've seen a lot in this house… and I think having a zombie wouldn't be so hard to believe." I then sigh and pat Shinra's head, "But if Celty would go around— leaving her case— what would be the reason, neh?"
I feel people chatter around us and then Shizu-chan sighs, "Tom-san, I know it's not as believable as it is but can we look for one more resident—" The male shakes his head and then he speaks, "My men will go find her. Everyone is to stay here. I've had enough of your shit, Shizuo." My lover gazes at me and then Shinra hangs his head more… whispering Celty's name over and over.
For a moment, Anri-chan suddenly flings her head to a direction— lights getting disconnected.
…
Sensei, Sensei
…
Drip. Drip. Drip. The sound of dripping water from the not-so-leaky pipes echoes around the whole dark place and I can't help but to drag myself from the wound I suddenly took from a policeman. After Anri-chan twitches, the lights go down and it becomes a perfect timing for us to scram. The Heiwajima Manor is such a big place and surely, we would be able to hide from them and somehow run away if needed.
The whole place has gone dark and Vorona magically strikes at the inspectors to distract them. Shizu-chan and Shinra have run off to different directions and so I just run off on my own. I am planning to take Anri-chan with me but she isn't there anymore as well. And when I'm about to turn to a corner, one of the policemen has successfully scratched me in my leg by a motherfucking bullet. And now, I have to bitch about the pain…
The blood will always tell them wherever I have gone to… so I better hurry. Within the lightless gigantic manor, I venture down to a place where I haven't been before. This place doesn't even exist in Akane-chan's map, to be honest. I grope around the rough and unfinished walls of the tunnel and then I look around… trying to find light or something.
"Izaya…"
A familiar voice comes to my ears and then I look behind me… "Celty." There she is standing with that kimono she has been wearing inside the glass case. However, it seems that some parts of her body have been damaged… either from breaking free from the glass case or from moving after preservation.
"…You look like you're hurt." She speaks in her normal voice and then I grin at her, "Yeah, obviously. Why did you escape from Shinra's closet? Are you planning to do something?" Celty only stands there and then she turns away from me, "Stop struggling, Izaya. Shizuo Heiwajima isn't worth it." I then somewhat straighten, "Where were you the entire time Shinra is in the hospital, huh?"
She gives an inquisitive gaze at me. "Doesn't it feel so bad to be not with the person you love the moment he hangs for his life? Though it doesn't match in many ways, I wanted to say that I feel I'm stuck in that same kind of situation right now. Shizu-chan is nowhere near me and I know the police are hunting us down. I even think Niekawa could have escaped as well. But this is great… wasting time and talking to you…"
"No need to worry about the police. The shadow girl as you call her is probably taking down everyone else."
"You escaped only so that they wouldn't find you, right?"
"…You saw what Shinra did when he didn't find me there. I don't want Shinra to hurt— or maybe kill— other people just to take me back. Remember when I helped you out from him at the bar? I won't let it happen again."
"Alright then. Do ourselves a favor and find Shinra before he gets caught by those people." I turn around from her and keep on walking… and then Celty speaks to me, "Izaya, what would you do if you find out who the shadow girl is?" I turn back and then I bitterly grin, "I'll cross that bridge when I get there." I turn to my heel again and suddenly— another vision knocks me off balance…
My body automatically throws up and I can't help but to tremble once again. For some seconds, I see the whole lounge filled with chopped bodies. Blood has been spilled everywhere and I can feel the warm blood on my hands… as well as the exciting grip of the sword hilt. I hear a voice chuckle in delight as the owner seems to move and kill more and more people.
"You can see it, don't you?" Celty goes to me and helps me up. I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand and then I turn to her, "What are those? I have been seeing them quite some time…" She then wipes my face more with her kimono, "I tried to warn you before… and then the sword started calling out to you." I frown at her and then she whispers, "I, too, have experienced things like that. But I was only able to see two of the shadow girl's sentiments. Because I made a mistake after that…"
"…What are those visions, Celty? What do you mean the shadow girl's sentiments?" She looks at me with her expressive eyes— unusual for a dead woman. She sits down beside me and then she takes my hand, "The sword in the attic belongs to Shizuo Heiwajima's grandfather's collection. However, it turns out to have a mind of its own and it sings to those who wish to protect people out of love."
"So the shadow girl is…"
"Once the sword gets into your hand, you will lose everything but your very craving to protect. It has poisoned a lot of people and they end up breaking down as soon as they realize what they have done. However, there is this certain holder who never considered herself bad after all those murders she created. Guilt has never crept into her mind… she even claims to be a protector. Appearing only within the darkness of the night, she earns the name 'shadow girl' or 'the girl in the shadows'."
She then grips at my hand harder, "Soon, the sword begins to cry for her. Her life has been horrible from being bathed in blood and yet she ceases to be the shadow girl. To make her stop, the sword calls out to people and makes them see what the shadow girl has been seeing all along."
Is that why I was able to see Shinra and Kyohei's almost murder? But wait a minute… for a certain vision, something doesn't feel right.
"I have never held that sword with my own hands… so I never know what it feels like." She gazes at me, "What it feels like to kill for the one you love…"
"Are you mocking me?" I smirk at her and then I lift my head in developing fatigue and lightheadedness. She let goes of my hand and I decide to fuck up some first aid on my wound… with my broken wrist stinging me, "I haven't killed that Haruna Niekawa so don't ask me, alright?" I can feel her gaze on me and then she speaks, "…I'm so happy Shinra would never hold that sword for me…"
"You died by that thing. Why would he even like to touch it? And if ever he does, he might just break it himself."
"Are you going to get mad if ever he broke it?" I then chuckle, "Ahahahaha, that thing is evil even though I loved having it in my hands." Celty then gives me this meaningful gaze and she tells me as I turn to her, "I thought you didn't like dead people. Why would you want to be a murderer?" I smirk bigger and then I stand up, "I kind'a got into this recently. It's true that I hate and tremble upon seeing dead bodies… but loving to kill them is a different thing. I've killed a lot by murdering their hearts. Physical murder shouldn't be so hard to carry, I think."
"…The sword will never find you worthy of its ideals to kill. How come it came to you?" I turn to her again as I begin walking away from her again, "Don't get me wrong, Celty. I really love Shizu-chan more than anything. And there's no way someone will kill him without me doing anything to protect him. Even villains have hearts, given they're human." I continue walking with my eyes up-front, "Humans are born neutral. It's the experience that counts…"

Getting lost some more, I end up walking back around the lounge… where bits of human bodies lie around. I hold back my nausea and then I scan the place for anyone I might know. Soon, I hear screaming from somewhere… of course, that's my cue. I force myself to climb the stairs and then I make my way towards the veranda where the screams are coming from…
Blood is also splattered on the floor and Kyohei-kun, Simon-san, Denis-san and Vorona-san are grasping for their breaths— lying atop a pool of their own blood. Erika is crying and screaming loudly and Shizu-chan keeps her behind him. Shinra is getting strangled by… Fujiwara? Niekawa is holding her waist and then she speaks, "…One by one, you will all die…"
"Someone actually took care of the policemen downstairs… making it easy for me to do this now, huh?" Fujiwara smirks as Shinra tries to struggle from her hold. There are also stabs in the doctor's legs… making him weaker than supposed to be. Shizu-chan is still recovering from his wound… so he wouldn't be able to stand a chance with a woman with a gun and another one with a knife.
"Shizuo Heiwajima, doesn't the name Meiko Fujiwara sound familiar to you?" The woman holds Shinra's neck tighter and then she psychotically screams, "Yes, she's one of the people you killed in this house! I asked Haruna-san here to investigate and it seems that even her lover was killed… so we… we will also make you suffer. The law isn't enough to judge you, Shizuo Heiwajima…"
"Shi… Shizuo…" Shinra wheezes as his neck nearly breaks… and somehow, I wouldn't forgive myself if I just stand here. I grab a nearby vase and runs to smash it against Fujiwara's head. She groans and let goes of Shinra— only to have Niekawa attack me back. I jump out of the way and somewhat landed nearby Shizu-chan, "Why is everyone here? Am I the only one who didn't know about the plan?"
"At least we have someone who saved Shinra…" My lover jokes for a moment and then Niekawa grabs Vorona-san and threaten to slit her neck off, "Stay where you are…" Great. Shinra then chokes for a moment and then we suddenly see Fujiwara recover— pulling out a gun to shoot at Shinra, "Die, you monsters…" In one second… Shinra could have been dead…
SLASH! We see something lash behind Fujiwara and then she groans in pain. Niekawa kicks away Vorona-san and then she tries to get nearer… only to have Fujiwara turn and shoot at the offender. She must have missed… since the familiar bloodied sword lashes at her neck…
Sending her head away and off the veranda railings.
The next picture has shocked everyone else, of course. Instead of a girl cloaked with the shadow of the night, the image before us has been clearly illuminated by the moon that has peeked from all the dark clouds. It is indeed a girl… yet not someone I am expecting to see— and neither do Shinra and Shizuo. Niekawa has her eyes widen and then she equips her knife properly… "Was it… really you?"
An excited grin destroys the innocence of her face and then she chuckles, "No one… I won't let anyone hurt Shinra-tocchan…" Before us stands Akane-chan who is holding the sword up high as if she is strong enough to wield it swiftly. That certain excitement in her eyes reminds me of that vision I had earlier… she must have been holding the sword for quite some time.
Niekawa then frowns, "Monsters… there are monsters everywhere in this house." She then smirks, "No matter, I will kill each and every one of you who took Takashi away from me." Akane-chan swings the sword and the two engage in a sword battle… so swift that we cannot actually believe Akane-chan can keep up with her that much.
"Why?" I hear Shinra cry as he watches his little girl engage in a fight until one of them dies, "Why is my Akane…? Why is she? There's no way she would…" He then tries to stop the fight but Shizu-chan grabs him with a hand at the doctor's mouth, "Speak and she'll die, Shinra. If you distract Akane-chan even once, Niekawa will kill her without mercy."
"But Shizuo, Akane is…"
"The sword gets passed around unlike before…" I join their talk and look around to find something I can use to help Akane-chan, "Akane-chan isn't the shadow girl… but the sword somewhat agreed to be used by her…" I smile at the trembling Erika and to calm her down a bit, "In order to protect… in order to love…"
