Chapter 11: Kotonoha's Court

Now my best friend is standing before me batshit crazy. It is all my fault,but what could I do? Nothing. She needs help. I know I can't talk to bring her back to her senses,it's impossible. I just have to fight,but there is a downside.

I put my hand on my shoulder as it hurts. Damn,Yuu got me good,I don't know if I will survive this. I look at Katou but I am fighting for more at the moment. I have three lives on my shoulders now,my own, Katou's and Sekai's.

Katou wakes up

''H-huh? Kazuya?'' She looks at me with her face abit bruised up as she is abit sad,she hasn't noticed Kotonoha yet.

I look her into the eyes ''Katou,tell me,who murdered your three ''friends''?''

''It wa...'' She is cut off

''Katou-san,how are you?'' Kotonoha interrupts as Katou notices Kotonoha n tries to crawl backwards but I am holding her as she panicked

''She kidnapped me to get t-to you Kazuya,I don't know why'' I stand up as I start to step backwards after helping Katou up. Both of us step backwards.

My phone rings as Kotonoha stops approaching us. It is a silence as it just rings.

''Aren't you gonna see who is calling?'' She asks me psychoticly.

''Yes'' I pick up the phone as I look at who is calling me,it is Reina. ''Bad timing'' I think for myself. I look at Kotonoha as she nods with a psychotic smile and points the saw towards me as I know if I say something stupid I'm fucked.I put the phone to my ear.

''We found evidence! I found a hair laying around where Obuchi's corpse was'' She shouts out as my eyes widen

''You sure it isn't one of the victims hair?'' I ask her

''No,this was a black hair and it didn't match any of them'' she answers as my eyes widen.

''Black hair,starts with a K...'' I look at Kotonoha as I shake my head from side to side,even if I had a thought I wasn't complete sure.

I drop the phone as sounds are heard from the phone of Reina's voice calling my name.

Kotonoha approaches me and by the time she does Reina has already hung up and me and Katou are trapped against a wall.

''Katou do you trust me?'' I ask her

''Ye...'' As I grab her arm and get her arm around my shoulder and do a judo throw I learned from Reina when we were in the gym and throw Katou on Kotonoha as Katou grunts in pain and I run over to Katou and grab her as she is ontop of Kotonoha and run towards the door as fast as I can.

''Kazuya-kun,it hurt...'' Kotonoha just stands up and runs towards us. I can't run fast,not as fast as I used to due to injuries.

''Kazuya we need to get out fast!'' she shouts.

''The door soon close as the door is shut as Kotonoha shut it on her way in. I quickly run to the door and push and pull it.

''Hurry! She is right behind us'' Katou shouts in fear.

''Katou take cover!'' I shout at her as I push her away as Kotonoha was right behind me swinging her blade at my throat but I dodge as I slip away and take a few steps back as she throws the blade towards me which surprises me but isn't enough to keep me down as I dodged it by jumping to my right. I stand up soon and by the time I have Kotonoha has tight hold on her blade.

As she throws her look over at me.

''You are just like Makoto-kun'' She tells me

''Kotonoha,I was lying to protect you!'' I shout at her as she runs at me and swings her blade at my face as I grab her arm and manage to put pressure on her wrist hoping she will let go. The arm I am holding is of course her weapon arm

''I lied to you because I loved you like a sister and it is a brother's duty to keep you safe'' I tell her as she is just as emotionless ''I could never kill you Kotonoha'' I tell her ''If someone else were to send Sekai to jail I would have killed the person on the spot but not you''

Suddenly I feel a hell of a pain in my crotch as I fall on my ass holding over my testicles.

''You still lied to me,you always complained about how much Makoto-kun lied to me. And how hypocritical are you when you go out and do it yourself'' she answers as she sits ontop of me.

''There is no where to run now'' She looks at me psychoticly ''And since you treat liers and cheaters the way you treated Makoto-kun,I suppose it is only fair to treat you the same way''

''W-wait,s-he knows about w-what I d-id?'' I think

Flashback

I club Makoto's testicles with a hammer

Flasback End

She is sitting on an unfortan spot,right on my

''So now you will get to experience what your kind of justice is like'' she tells me

I can't help it,I am a boy,and I am stiff. But it is not due to lust, it is due to stress (Yes this can infact happen)

I soon grab her wrists as I squeeze them as hard as I can as I can see Kotonoha's hands start to shiver.

''Let go Kazuya-kun,it hurts'' She tells me as if she was innocent.

Soon she headbutts me as I lose the grip and she gets up holding me by the collar.

''Stand up Kazuya-kun'' She tells me

I am hesitating,I am not standing up right away.

She gives me a straight toe kick right you know where. I scream in pain.

''F-fine,I will'' I tell her as I slowly get up even if it is hard.

On my way up I start to bring momentum upwards with my fist as I get an insanely good uppercut on her cheek as she is now laying before me on the floor with her eyes shut.

I probably hit her harder than I thought. I run over to Katou fast as she is scared to her life,she has been yelling for me to be careful through my entire conflict. I get up the bat which layed on the floor as I couldn't reach it before due to Kotonoha standing in the way. I walk over to Katou as I look at her.

''When we get out of here,can you tell me who killed them?'' I ask her as I pound the door with the bat.

''Even if she wore a mask,I was able to see her face as Natsumi managed to pull her mask up before she died'' she answers as I stop pounding the door and look at her.

''The one who did it...was...'' she is about to answer as I hear foot steps and look at Kotonoha who is rushing towards me with the knife and Katou isn't aware as she is talking to me as my eyes widen ''Was Ki...'' before she manages to finish I push her out of the way,but I wasn't the goal,Katou was. As she swung her knife at Katou and sliced her stomach making a big wound as her eyes widen and she screams in pain.

I lost my bat as I step backwards with wide eyes ''Katou!'' I yell hoping she is okay but of course,who would be after that.

''Kotonoha! Stop it! I need to see her!'' Spit at Kotonoha.

''She will be alright Kazuya-kun,she will just take a little nap'' She says that psychoticly as I run towards her only to be welcome by a blade as I duck and she tries to chop my arm off but I saw away,obviously she was just faking my knock out punch,of course I was stupid enough to believe it as my knock out power is reduced.

She punches my throat as I feel everything start to darken as I land on my ass.

''I have done abit training Kazuya-kun'' she tells me ''For 3 years I have been training kendo. And since I know am a good student in biology,I know how a human body is built and all it's vital points''

I start to crawl backwards as I hope to reach for something I can use to fight but she walks to me and steps her foot on my stomach and keeps me down.

''Good night Kazuya-kun'' She bends squats down and kisses me on my cheek as I really was about to go to sleep and she gives me a good night kiss. She puts the blade at my throat as her eyes widen and she drops uncontious ontop of me.

I sigh as I see one guy over me,it is Casper ''Are you okay?'' He asks me

''I am fan-fucking-tastic'' I tell him as I stand up and hold Kotonoha genltly. I carry her gently in my arms as I look at her.

Ryan is also there but she is treating Katou with Reina as Katou is uncontious.

''Is she alright?'' I ask her

''She will be fine'' She answers ''But Kotonoha...''

''She needs to go to a hospital where she can get help...'' I tell myself

''Once she gets out she will be a normal school girl again,don't worry'' Reina tells me ''And she wouldn't have to worry about studies,she will get lessons in the mental home''

''I will visit her every day'' I tell Reina.

''Is she the murderer?'' Casper Asks me

''You know guys,I think the murderer is already dead'' I tell them all

''I think it was Yuu,cause Kotonoha wouldn't have a purpose of murdering anybody at the moment and she was perfectly sane so I think she is clean,except from this.

''None of us will report her,don't worry'' Ryan tells me

''There is no need to,she needs the mental help and it is no point in getting her record dirty if she needs help anyway'' Reina adds.

''Thank you guys.I just need to get ride of evidence'' I tell them as I take the knife and the bat in my pocket as the bat is sticking abit out,but that is okay. An ambulance is outside as four people with two people on each their emergency beds as I like to call them. they put Katou on one and take her to the ambulance and guys walks over to me as I look down at Kotonoha.

''I will visit'' I whisper to her. I kiss her forhead as I put her on the bed as they take her away as I follow them out of the gym and as I walk out I see Setsuna.

''Kazuya,are you okay?'' She asks me with abit worry in her voice.

''Yes'' I look upset as she is upset too.

''I am s-sorry'' She stutters abit

''There is nothing you could do Setsuna''

The other three are standing right behind me.

''I think we should head home,get a quick nap before tomorrow'' Ryan tells me as I just nod and everyone are quiet as both Ryan and Casper put their hands on my shoulders.

''We will find who did this,this has gone too far'' Casper tells me

''You bet your ass'' Ryan adds.

They walk away as Reina hugs me from behind ''Don't lose hope,please'' Reina holds me extra tight as I just give her a thumb up. I infact am taking her word for it,not the other two's.

She soon lets go as I look at Setsuna and she wears the clothes she had yesterday.

I start to walk homewards as Setsuna soon walks after me.

''Are you okay?'' she asks me.

''I will be'' I answer abit emotionless.

We get on the train as my face is so sad,I have just kept loosing and loosing and loosing everything in my life,it takes it's tall.

''Kazuya...'' Setsuna calls my name as I don't bother to answer as I am stuck in my own little world.

We soon arrive at my station as we head off to my house. we walk up the stairs and I enter my appartment as we enter Setsuna just stands by the door quiet.

''I will make us food. It has been a long night. I will make you anything'' I tell her she doesn't say a word as I just sit on a chair in the kitchen looking at her standing infront of the door crying.

''What have I done?'' She drops to her knees as I run over to her fast and squat down putting my finger on my chin.

''Kazuya,I...'' she looks at me with wet eyes.

''Kiyoura?'' I ask her ''Why are you so sad for,nothing is your fault...'' I look at her into the eyes ''Kiyoura...Kiyou...Ki...'' My eyes widen as I am in shock as I have only one thought in my mind.

''NO!''
