Must Stay Awake
In about 13 hours, will be a Saturday morning. In light of recent events, Otonokizaka was going to be closed for the day, even UTX was shutting down for the day. It would also be the day that the anti Freddy Krueger miracle drug would finally be available. A few days prior, Maki had bought several doses of Hypnocil for everyone. It would act as a way for everyone to get some sleep until a permanent solution was found.
In the days since though, Eli, Nozomi and Yukiho all turned up dead. All at the hands of Freddy to top it off. The wait was long and hard, but it would be worth it, even if it was too late for the others.
Hanayo knew this all too well, she had been struggling to stay awake for the past week. She hasn't really slept since the first Freddy nightmare, and it was only getting worse as time went on. Pretty soon she might start seeing him while she was awake and that could threaten her whole life..
Fortunately for her, the wait to sleep was getting much shorter and she just had to stay awake for one more night. One more measly night. Then she could sleep again.
She was sitting on Rin's bed waiting for her to come back from her shower. She made sure to bring up the biggest and strongest cup of coffee the Hoshizora household had. Just to make sure she didn't accidentally fall asleep again.
She sat there looking around her best friend's place. It was rare for her to stay the night at anyone's house, even while she was apart of muse. Hanayo was amazed at how little idol anything was here. Posters of metal bands and whatnot, even a Chicago Bears signed football on the wall, all sorts of goodies.
She sipped down her hot cup of miracle juice. It was a wonder that Hanayo was able to remain awake for as long as she has. So far it's been about a week since she had actually slept, and it was clearly taking it's toll on her. Her face began to look like it was drooping downwards, she was that tired. At least Rin was here.
She came here, not just because Rin offered her, but because she was afraid what would happen if she went home with Rin… and slept in the same bed as her. Well… slept would be a relative term in this instance.
Rin came back into the bedroom with her. "Kayo-chin." Rin began. "Do you have everything you need?"
Hanayo nodded back. She pulled out a few plastic bags of clothes and shower stuff. There were a few other things she made sure to take with her, namely her phone and the charger, a bowl of rice, and an extra pair of glasses. There were snack foods, but that was a given.
Rin jumped with joy. "Alright." She smiled. "It's gonna be like the good old days when we were kids. Remember when you used to stay over here on the weekends?" Rin asked her.
Hanayo nodded. "Yeah… I remember." She yawned.
Rin noticed her show of exhaustion. "You sure you don't want to lay down for a few minutes. I'll watch you, if you start to panic or whatever I'll get you up." Rin told her.
"No. It's fine, I can make it to morning." Hanayo refused politely.
Ring ring ring.
Rin's computer was beeping loudly. It was a Skype call. "Answer it Kayo-chin." Rin told her. Hanayo complied and quickly hit the green answer button.
Suddenly an image of the two other idol teams were visible. Nico and Maki were sitting next to one another staring into the computer while Honoka's gang (Kotori and Umi) were busy doing something in the room. Honoka was the one who initiated the call.
"Evening ladies." She told them trying her best to sound like she wasn't still pissed.
"Evening Honoka-chan." Rin exclaimed joining in. Hanayo scooted over to allow Rin to jump in like that.
"So how are we all doing tonight?" Maki asked them.
Rin exclaimed happily. "My mom ordered pizza."
Honoka held out a large cup of coffee. "Having Starbucks." Suddenly Kotori fell back onto the floor from the chair she was leaning back on. "And I guess helping Kotori out."
Hanayo yawned again. "Honoka." She meekly asked. "How much was that coffee and is it any good?"
Honoka turned around. "Oh right, I don't know. Umi's mom brought it over, but it's delicious."
Hanayo sighed. "Okay, thanks anyway."
Nico groaned. "So what? We'll just start another Skype calling a couple of hours again?"
"Sounds good to us." Rin replied.
Honoka declined. "The internet isn't so great over here right now. I'm not sure we can." Honoka explained. "Not promptly anyway."
"Aww." Rin moaned.
"Damnit. Nico's mom is still here, so there's not much we can do right at this moment." Maki explained. "I still think we should all make an attempt at contacting each other later tonight to make sure none of us bite the dust."
Honoka sipped down her cup pretty quickly. "Cool. I'll see what we can do." suddenly her screen disappeared as her half of the call was terminated.
Nico and Maki both sat back. "Okay. I guess we'll see you later." Maki told them.
Rin nodded. "Yeah. See you in a few hours." Maki's screen shut off and Rin & Hanayo were left staring at their own reflection on the monitor. Rin shut off the computer screen and returned her attention to Hanayo. "So now what?" Rin asked.
"I don't know." Hanayo sighed. She had planned for this though. In the event that Rin couldn't come up with a viable plan, she had brought along the perfect aphrodisiac for the job. The James Cameron hit, The Titanic. Hanayo pulled out the movie with excitement. "How about we watch this?" Hanayo told her.
"What? That movies bor…" Rin then realized that Hanayo was suddenly bordering crying. She suddenly changed her opinion of the move to keep Hanayo from crying over her favorite movie. "-rific, it's a terrific movie with Leonardo DiVin-caprio. Leonardo DiCaprio, that's him. Yeah." Rin comforted Hanayo back to normalcy.
Hanayo perked up with joy.
Rin sighed to herself. Damnit. Now i have to watch that movie. Why do people like that movie anyway? Rin had thought to herself. If Rin had known the writer's opinion of the movie, Rin would have been smacked the fuck back to Japan from that oversized boat's watery grave. But that's a story for another day. Rin held Hanayo close. "Okay Kayo-chin, i'll get my mom to make some popcorn and we can we'll watch the movie together downstairs." She informed her. Hanayo suddenly got really happy and hugged the neko.
"Thank you." She cried out as she hugged the girl.
Shiiiiit. Rin moaned internally.
…
Meanwhile, across town. The trio of girls known only as the third years gathered around in the Sonada house. Umi had reluctantly taken in all the girls to her house and let Kotori and Honoka stay the night. When they both just showed up at her door, she had protested, but then Kotori used the same argument that Umi did. Long story short, now everyone is spending the night staying awake at Umi's.
Suddenly Umi was getting a taste of her own medicine and she apparently didn't like it. Her mother threw a minor fit over the two new houseguests that encompassed her house. After she finally settled down, the trio made the Skype call and got everyone on the same page.
Which leads us to now.
Umi shut off the Skype call and the screen returned to its home screen. The wallpaper was simply a photograph from the Love Live tournament, the selfie that Alisa and Yukiho took when they were watching muse perform Kira Kira Sensation. Umi closed Skype and returned her attention to the other school idols.
Honoka was pouring herself a cup of coffee while Kotori had just let herself into the kitchen, presumably to make some food. She may or may not be high right now, it's entirely possible she is, or isn't. Umi hasn't been able to tell yet.
Umi pulled out her phone to check the time. 8pm. Damn. She thought to herself. Still at least 13 or so hours until we can get to safety.
She put her phone away returning all focus to the other idols in the room. Umi honestly didn't care much about what was going on with them right now, all she cared about was the safety of her fellow idols. Once they made it to morning, everything would be okay, it would finally be over and they could all finally sleep again.
That's the plan anyway.
Whether or not any of that came to fruition was their ability to remain awake at night. For Kotori it's not hard, just take away her favorite pillow and she's awake for good. Honoka on the other hand had an entire pot of coffee on her, sleeping was next to impossible.
That just left Umi to her own devices. Umi laid back in her chair, stretching her arms in the process. She thought back to the last time she was sleeping, Freddy almost clawed out her eyes. She felt the lids to her eyes. It didn't feel like there was any indication that she was attacked, but in her heart she knew the scars were there.
She turned to her fellow school idol. "Hey Honoka, Kotori. What are we gonna do for the rest of the night?" She asked them.
Kotori was the only one to respond. "We could always try going to the beach or something." She suggested without realizing how stupid that was.
Umi groaned. "Okay Honoka, how about you?"
Honoka just sat on the couch, drinking her coffee.
"Honoka?" Umi reached out to her.
She sighed. "I don't know…" Honoka replied.
She must still be broken up over Yukiho. Umi thought to herself. "You know, I'm certain if we ask nicely, we can use the TV in the living room for the Xbox." Umi told them. "You know, we could take turns playing Battlefield."
Honoka just sighed and continued drinking. "I guess that's one plan." She admitted. "Is there anything else." She asked.
Kotori suddenly left the room.
Umi continued. "Are you still upset over Yukiho?" She asked.
"Of course I am!" Honoka snapped, rising to her feet in rage. "It's only been a fucking day!"
"I'm sorry, but you can't keep moping around like that." Umi told her. "The longer you stay like that, the more joy you're giving Freddy."
"Well what if i stopped caring, what I just went to bed now and let him kill me?"
"Then Yukiho died for nothing."
"She already died for nothing, there was no reason for her to die to begin with!" She yelled back at her.
Umi slowed herself down. "Honoka. I know you're mad, but if you give up like that, then what of everyone else? What will happen to the rest of muse?"
"Muse is dead Umi…" Honoka stopped, glaring at her. "Eli and Nozomi are dead… and we're next." she told her sitting back down angrily.
"Honoka-"
"Just shut the hell up." Honoka told her. "Just go hide in the corner like you always do."
Kotori came back into the room carrying a pan covered in pastries. "I made brownies guys." She told them returning to the idols. Before either of them could take one, Umi knocked the pan right out her hands as she went off to the living room. Kotori was taken back by her sudden action.
"Just stop Kotori." Umi and Honoka both told her.
Kotori felt alienated as she picked up the treats off the floor. "Sorry… just wanted to help."
...
Meanwhile at the Yazawa household, the idol couple hung up the call and returned to getting completely settled in for the night. Everyone in the house was already in bed, or at least getting ready for it. Kokoa and Kotarou were both out in their room, while Nico's mother just laid down a few moments before.
That just left the two girlfriends in the living room with the computer.
Neither of them had any intentions of sleeping tonight simply because they were too close to death to do it, so they remained there, plotting how the night would go. They didn't have any plans as of yet, but rest assured the yuri pair would figure it out before the night was over.
"So what do we do now?" Maki asked.
Nico groaned. "This is why we should have gone to your place, there's nothing here. Just a TV that will get boring pretty quickly." She told her.
Maki thought to herself for a moment. "Do you have a PlayStation?" She asked her.
"We have a GameCube." Nico told her.
"Where is it?" Maki asked.
"In my mom's room, locked up so that we don't play with it in the middle of the night." She told her. "All we have is Super Smash Bros anyway."
"Well what do you suggest we do then?" Maki asked.
Nico sighed. "Well… we could…" she paused, trying to come up with a solution. "Hmm. What gives people energy?"
"Professional athletes usually use carbohydrates and other forms of starchy foods to play sports for extended periods of time. We could try something along the lines of Adrenaline to keep us awake." Maki told her.
Nico suddenly stood up. "I got it. We can make a hit single featuring your number one idol. Me!"
Off in another room, her mother called out. "Be quiet Nico."
Nico sat back down. "Well. Something like that anyway." she picked up her phone and opened up the browser. "Well, we could always ask the internet how to stay awake all night."
Maki crossed her arms and sighed. "If you take advice from the internet, you're bound to wind up with 4chan just telling you to make a sex tape or two."
As soon as she finished that sentence, Nico set her phone down slowly. She suddenly felt the rush building inside her. "Maki… you're a genius."
She raised an eyebrow. "Ummm. How?"
"That's it, it's how we're gonna stay awake all night. We do it." Nico basically shouted out.
"Ummm. By any chance are you talking about-"
"Yes Maki, you take me and claim me as your own!" Nico exclaimed.
"Gross." Maki rebutted.
Nico growled. "Come on, you're the one who suggested it first."
"When the hell did I- oh wait. I did." Maki suddenly realized a few days ago, she made a joke about wanting to have sex with Nico. Now apparently she's taken it to heart and wants to actually do it. "No."
"Why not?"
"Reason one, your mom and siblings are in the other room-"
"We can be quiet." Nico tried defending the claim.
"Based on the way you were just a second ago, I'm gonna go ahead and assume no on that one. Second, I'm pretty sure that constitutes as Statutory." Maki laid down the law.
"Fuck the police." Nico rose to her feet, making her feelings known.
Maki raised an eyebrow in interest. "So, you're a fan of NWA?"
"NW what?" Nico asked in confusion.
"Their an old rap group from California." Maki explained sighing in her usual manner.
"Oh… I still don't get it. What does NWA even mean?" Nico asked. "What? No Whites Allowed? November Whiskey Alpha? Nico With an Apple?"
Maki groaned realizing this was going somewhere wrong too quickly. "Uh. No, it's… Negroes With Attitude."
"Negroes? That sounds like they didn't put much thought to it, it's like Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. I can see why they call it NWA." Nico replied. Maki could see she still had no idea about anything that was happening.
"Yeah well, it rolls of the tongue if you use the slur instead of the politically correct word."
"What slur?" Nico asked. Maki slapped her own face in irritation.
"Nevermind…"
"Slur? Oh wait, do you mean Nigg-"
Before Nico could destroy her career in anything with a single word, Maki quickly covered her mouth before she could blurt it out stupidly.
"Shut up you moron, are you trying to summon black people here."
Suddenly, somewhere off in the other room, Nico's mom came crashing through the door. "Can you two, please keep it down out here." She asked them.
Maki let go of Nico as the two sat back down. "I'm sorry mom." The idol cowered in fear from her mother. Soon Yuuko returned to her room, closing the door behind her. Nico sighed and just needed a second to decompress.
"Alright. Now what?" She wondered out loud. Maki sat there, unable to think of anything as she sat back in the couch. Nico groaned loudly. "Fine, I'll take the lead then." Nico said to herself standing up.
"What are you-" before Maki could finish her statement, Nico had grabbed her hand and yanked her to her feet. "Wow. You're quite the aggressive one, aren't you?"
Nico smiled. "Just keep quiet so my mom doesn't come knocking."
…
At least 3 hours later.
Hanayo sat on the bed enjoying the last few minutes of the best romance movie on the planet, the Titanic. She loved the movie for a plethora of reasons and most them included Leonardo DiCaprio. The mere thought of DiCaprio sent Hanayo into a fangirl frenzy the way Idols could only dream of.
Hanayo's eyes were dripping with tears from the ending. No matter how many times she sees the movie, she'd always cry when DiCaprio has to (Spoiler Alert!) die. In the end Rose also died too, and went on to Titanic heaven, and that's what always killed her. There was a reason Hanayo loved this movie.
Rin on the other hand wasn't too interested in seeing a romance movie about a couple that knew each other for less than a week, and with DiCaprio dying in the end. Just like the DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet. Hell in both he played the male lead character. And both movies are cited as the best love story ever written. And he didn't get an Oscar for either of them… somehow we always wind up back here, at least the man finally earned that long overdue Oscar for The Revenant.
Anyway you look at it, Rin found romance movies to be boring and basically ignored the whole movie while Hanayo watched it intently. Unfortunately…
"That was." Hanayo sniffled a bit wiping tears away. "Beautiful." she turned to Rin for some confirmation of her love for this movie. "Right Rin. Huh?" She noticed that her head was drooped over as she was making a slight snoring noise.
Hanayo suddenly panicked where she sat, she quickly shook her around until she finally awoke. Rin rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "What?"
"Rin, are you okay!" She freaked out.
"I think so… I dreamt we were fictional characters, and people wrote fanfictions about us… People shipped you and me together pretty hard… and Maki-chan..." The redhead yawned. "Thanks for waking me up."
"Rin…" she held her close. That was way too close. "How long have you been sleeping?" She asked her.
Rin paused for a moment. "I… uh… when that guy got on the boat?" Rin thought to herself. "Yeah last thing I remember was him getting on the boat."
Hanayo slowly backed away from Rin, releasing her from the comforting hug. Rin couldn't figure out why.
"What's wrong Kayo-chin?" She asked her looking to her, but she saw a face that told her just how bad she fucked up. Hanayo's face showed signs of absolute disappointment and sadness. "Uh I mean…" she was drawing a blank as to what she was supposed to be doing now. "I'm sorry Kayo-chin, but I guess I just didn't like the movie."
Hanayo knew her apology was genuine, but she was still hurt by it.
"Well, don't fall asleep again, even if the movie bores you." She told her.
Rin sighed. "Okay. How long was I out?" She asked.
"If the last thing you remember was Jack getting on the boat, then…" Hanayo started. "Hours?" She noticed how preposterous it was that Rin was able to sleep that long without having a Freddy nightmare. "Unless…"
Suddenly the floor cracked open and the half of the room that had the TV on it began to fly away and the two were on the inside of the Titanic. Hanayo panicked and grabbed hold of a piece of wood attached to the wall and held on for dear life.
Rin slipped off the bed and grabbed a piece of metal protruding from the floor. The lights all suddenly dimmed and then subsequently went out as the lower half of the boat sank into the water. Rin climbed up towards Hanayo, who herself was busy trying to not die.
"Kayo-chin!" Rin cried out. "Let's get the hell out of here!"
Hanayo nodded and pulled Rin up. She quickly, and cautiously, shimmied over to the door and ran out into the hall. Rin followed as the rear of the boat (the side they were on) began to lean inwards towards the water. Rin started running upwards towards the back of the boat.
Hanayo tried holding onto Rin, but the ship began sinking faster than they could run. Hanayo made the last second decision to crash into a random door, dragging Rin along with her. The two landed into the grand staircase, one of the more famous locations on the Titanic, and slid over to the wall as the ship began rising high into the sky.
Rin rolled down onto the clock down on the bottom. "Rin!" Hanayo called out.
"I'm fine." She replied. Rin stood up as quickly as she could and tried running over to Hanayo, but as quickly as she started, the doors all suddenly slammed shut and a gust of wind blew her back to the ground. "Damnit." She hissed to herself. Hanayo quickly crawled over to her and tried to lift her up.
"We need to go before the rest of the ship fills up with water." She told her.
Rin looked up to her. "Did this happen in the movie?"
"Uh, yeah. But why is-"
"You should have woke me up. That's way less boring than the actual movie." Rin exclaimed optimistically, realizing her own fate was likely sealed.
"Rin, now isn't the time to-"
Before she could complain to her, the giant window panelings above then suddenly exploded, and water came rushing in, flooding the two idols in ice cold water. It suddenly became hard for their bodies to function on such cold conditions. Hanayo struggled to get her body moving once the over sized tsunami of water that came through rolled everywhere.
She soon found herself hitting the current ceiling, where a small pocket of air existed. She breathed in the joyous air that she desperately needed and cried out in agony from the cold. She could no longer see anything in front of her because her glasses were washed away into the abyss off ghee Titanic. It was at that moment she realized that Rin was no longer attached to her hand anymore.
"Rin!" She panicked. "Rin!" She held onto the column that one supported the room. The water made it hard to stay conscious. It kept flying straight into her face, before long, she was underwater again. As her body began to shut down, her eyes catch something struggling down on the staircase itself. Rin and Freddy.
Hanayo knew she had to do something, and fast. She paddled her body over to the dark shapes in the water before something grabbed her wrists. She looked up and saw a dark figure pulling her up. She fought as hard as she could before finally giving up from the cold.
She looked down and saw the two figures from before was actually one, and it was swimming very quickly towards them. Hanayo looked up and saw who was saving her, it was Rin. She pulled her up to the surface as they breathed for air. Suddenly, she felt something large swim right under her.
Rin felt it too, like a great white shark.
"Ahhh! What the fuck?" Hanayo cried out in terror, squeezing Rin tightly.
"Kayo-chin, it's him!" She yelled out as more water filled the grand staircase.
"Where is he?" She panicked.
"I don't know!"
Just as Rin finished saying that, a large dorsal fin appeared from the water and began getting ever so closer to the two. Hanayo panicked and started to flail around: the water. "We gotta get out of here!" She screamed. Rin tried to follow her order, but found she couldn't reach anything leading to dry land.
After a moment of creeping, he sprung himself from the water, appearing and yelling out "Boo!"
The two screamed in fear when suddenly, Rin disappeared like a ghost in Supernatural, winking out like a TV program changing channels. It was such a sudden disappearance that it caused Hanayo to slip into water and collide with the wall. Hanayo was then left alone with the demon.
Freddy was clearly standing on something, because he was not affected by the water rushing in. "Well… Now that we're all alone." he said pointing his claws into her face.
Hanayo screamed and batted away his hands. "Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" She screamed over and over again.
Freddy grabbed her neck and lifted her from the water. The atmosphere went from black and get to solid red as the water soon dissipated.
"Make me." Freddy told her preparing to suplex her. Hanayo started clawing at his face, trying anything to break free. Nothing was really working as the light grew dimmer and dimmer. She breathed for air in the most desperate way. She kept clawing and kicking at his grotesque face as her face turned red, she was only able to get a grip on his hat before he finally told her a very cryptic message. "Next time. You're mine for business."
…
"Kayo-chin! Kayo-chin! Wake up!"
Rin woke Hanayo up violently and very roughly. "I'm up, I'm up." Hanayo tried to stop her. She had fallen asleep sitting up. Her glasses were even still attached to her face, surprisingly. She looked around the room to make sure it was real. The TV showed the Title menu to the Titanic DVD, it had the usual options. Play, Scenes, Language..
"Kayo-chin, I thought you were going to stay awake the whole night."
"I thought you were going to too." Hanayo defended herself.
Rin cried out. "Fuck, we were too close to dying."
Hanayo was always too close to dying every night. She breathed a sigh of relief. It was over now, and she had nothing to fear anymore. She stretched out and yawned as she fell back onto the bed. "At least we're still okay."
Rin suddenly noticed something on her lap. "Hey Kayo-chin. What's that?" She asked backing away slowly from her fellow school idol.
Hanayo looked down and was suddenly horrified by the sight of a dirty brown fedora sitting on her lap. She screamed out in terror kicking it off of her. That's when Rin's mother came in, wondering what the hell was even happening.
"What's going on in here? Why are you two screaming so much?" She asked them. Hanayo was too busy shivering in fear from the sight of the demon's hat.
She looked to the hat. "What, that dirty old hat over there? What's so terrifying, saw a spider or something?" She asked them. She would never know what true horrors that hat would bring to them, the mere sight of it made them quiver in fear from the thought of being near out. Rin's mom sighed. "Seriously, what's going on?" She asked. She wouldn't get an answer though.
…
Umi's attention wandered as much as a child in a supermarket. Couldn't stay very focused on one particular thing. If only her mind were as one tracked as a child, maybe then she might have a chance at accomplishing something. She was way too busy trying to do a thousand things at once, and it was not working to any degree.
Fortunately for her Honoka and Kotori were both there to keep her awake, and alive. Every so often, Kotori and Honoka both do something to wake themselves up, and usually get relatively rough on Umi. So far it's been working.
Umi sat with her back against the wall. Her mind wandered. She tried keeping conversations going but failed miserably when Honoka and Kotori both just phased her out.
She finally got fed up with the nothing that was transpiring. "Honoka. Please tell me you brought something with you besides your phone?"
"You're only asking me this now, why?" She asked sarcastically.
"I… Fuck, I don't know." Umi replied, sighing to herself deeply. Kotori leaned back. She knew Umi's next question to her. "Kotori-"
"No I don't."
Umi groaned. "That was more of a reflex." She replied.
"Well I uh… Figured since you asked Honoka you'd also be asking me."
Umi stood up in boredom. "Goddamnit!" Umi cried out to herself. "How the fuck are we supposed to stay awake for what feels like fucking centuries."
Kotori slowly backed out of the room. "Okay. I'm gonna go grab our dinner then." She said trying to escape before Umi went postal. Before Umi could snap at her too, she dipped and was already in the kitchen, leaving poor old Honoka alone with Umi.
Umi dropped to her chair, groaning long and hard. "God Dammit." She muttered.
Honoka knew that Umi was mad, hell, anyone in this situation would probably be too. Honoka hadn't really slept yet so, she wasn't one to be different. But the degree of loss varied from Freddy victim to victim. Umi had merely lost sleep while Honoka (and Nico) had lost a sister. Of course trying to tell her that would end just the way you'd imagine it, violently, especially considering Umi was kind of a violent person when sleep deprived, and it was showing through very clearly here.
Honoka sighed. "Why don't you just play on the computer or something." Honoka suggested.
"You want me to play on the computer that moves slower than a snail?" Umi replied to her.
"Just a suggestion bitch." Honoka mumbled under her breath. Fortunately, Umi did not hear her.
Umi was about three seconds away from literally pulling her own hair out from frustration. She pulled at her hair as she groaned out. "Goddamnit. Why did he have to come along?" She complained. "Fuck, ever since he came along, he's caused nothing but problems for all of us. He's killed Eli and Nozomi, he's long for some magic book that probably doesn't even exist, he's- FUCK."
Umi was just ranting as Honoka blatantly ignored her. It's not that she didn't care what Umi had to say, but it was pissing her off. She stared into her phone, looking at old pictures. Umi continued ranting.
"He's a fucking cancer, all he does is kill everything. That motherfucker is just toying with us, he's- AH!" She was about to throw a table in rage. That's when she noticed Honoka was fixated on her phone. "Hey, have you been listening at all?"
"To you bitch and moan. Not really." Honoka replied, not looking at her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Umi asked. Honoka didn't respond. Umi just sighed and walked over to her, checking over Honoka's shoulder to see what she was doing.
A picture of her and Yukiho.
"Why are you looking at that?" Umi asked her. "You're just tormenting yourself you know? You're doing his job for him."
"You're an only child. You wouldn't understand." Honoka replied in a monotone voice.
"No, maybe not. But I can tell this isn't a healthy way of coping." Umi told her.
Honoka sighed. Umi's words were doing nothing more but adding powder to the keg. If Honoka went off, it wouldn't be pretty. "Shouldn't you be focusing on finding out what the Necronomicon really is?"
"I'm just gonna ignore that piece of shit. There's no point in trying to find a fictional book." Umi replied.
"Then shut the fuck up." Honoka told her.
"What?" Umi retorted.
Before she could react, Honoka suddenly popped up to her feet and had Umi in her grasps. She pinned her to the wall, with murder in her eyes.
"Then shut the fuck up!" She emphasized every word. "You're sitting here bitching a complaining about him sounds like a five year old complaining how he didn't get the fucking toy he wanted for Christmas." She started. "YOU, haven't lost anyone yet, so you can shut your fucking trap, you Goddamned Horse Fucker!"
"I-"
"You what? You lost someone at all? Who the fuck do you care about, who do you know and love that got murdered because you brought them into this? If you don't shut the fuck up, I swear to God I'll kill you before Freddy does!" Honoka snapped.
Before Umi got a chance to say anything, Honoka let go of her. Umi's back was against the wall as her childhood friend went and sat back down onto the sofa, face returning to her phone. She suddenly no longer felt the need to vent her rage after seeing the way Honoka did.
Umi just got a taste of what real rage was like. Honoka just showed her what really wanting revenge was like, and it was terrifying. Umi only felt anger from lack of sleep, the fear of death and the loss of a couple of friends. Sure it's a justifiable reason to be pissed off, but when you lose someone as close to you as your sister, then you really have nothing left to lose. Especially for the big sister side of Honoka.
The cheerful and optimistic side of Honoka was gone, killed by the cancerous evil Freddy has brought with him. It's like she truly was gone. Umi slowly made her way over to Honoka. "Ho… Honoka."
Honoka sighed, placing the phone back onto the table. "Umi. I'm sorry." She told her. "I didn't mean to snap like that… I guess I'm still in shock that I let that happen."
"But you didn't have anything to do with her death." Umi noted.
"No. That's how I killed her. I didn't try to stop him. I let her join us in this journey against Freddy, and what wound up happening was she got killed by… him." Honoka told her. "I should have done something. Mom always told me to protect her because she was my little sister… and now… now I've fucked up and she's gone."
Umi saw all of Honoka's emotions pile up and get slowly released to the world. Tears fell from her eyes.
"I know I'm just….just overreacting but…" Honoka had begun to cry. "I shouldn't have brought her into this."
Umi lowered her head. Nothing she could say would help this. She looked for a way to help, but was coming up short every time. That's when she figured she could always try talking about the good times. She slowly placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey Honoka." She started. "You remember our first day of middle school?"
Honoka stopped for a moment to look at Umi. Her eyes were getting redder by the second. "Yeah, Yukiho tried following me the entire time." The entire way through elementary school, Yukiho and Honoka were pretty much inseparable. Mostly because their mother told Honoka she doesn't go anywhere without Yukiho.
"Yeah. That would be it."
"Or the time I burned down the kitchen?"
"You were making cereal." Umi told her.
"Yeah…" Honoka chuckled slightly, trying her best to keep from crying again. "I swear to God when I get my hands on him." Her fists clenched up.
"Honoka." Umi tried stopping her. "For now, just focus on making it to morning." Umi told her.
"Okay then… I guess I should probably apologize to Nico too." She admitted.
"Yeah, I bet she'd love it." Umi chuckled mildly.
Almost as if to end the lighthearted moment, Kotori returned. "I brought food." Kotori announced carrying a plate of microwave burritos, or chimichangas.
"You brought us… Mexican?"
"Do I look like Donald Trump to you? I love Mexican." Kotori giggled. Umi walked over to Kotori, who still had a gigantic smile on her face.
"I'm not eating those." She said looking at the plate of grease covered, bean filled awesomeness.
"Come on Umi, maybe a hit of this will make you like it?" She told her holding out what appeared to be a rolled up piece of paper.
Umi slapped the burritos and blunt out of her hands. "Didn't I tell you not to bring that shit here?"
"Ah come on Umi." Kotori replied sitting down. She looked pretty high, maybe that's what she was doing when she escaped earlier. "Here, maybe the James Bong will help." She laughed holding out a smelly water pipe. The bottom of it was murkier than the bottom of the Ocean.
"Goddamnit Kotori, no!"
"Seriously not cool Kotori." Honoka told her.
"Come on guys, try it." Kotori said lighting the bottom of it. "It's called." She said before putting her mouth on the top breathing everything from the water. She slowly lifted her face away from the bong. Suddenly her breath became a terrible orange. "Yukiho…" a smile creeped across her face.
She looked right at Honoka. "Maybe you'd like it?" The demonic voice echoed through the room.
Honoka and Umi suddenly realized they weren't in Kansas anymore.
"You son of a bitch…" Honoka muttered to herself. Freddy began to laugh an evil laugh, reminiscent of Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin laugh. "You Motherfucker!" Honoka Umi in a fit of rage, tackling Kotori to the floor. She pinned Freddy to the ground as best as she could raising a fist to the air. "I'm gonna fucking kill you!"
Before she could, Honoka suddenly vanished. Umi was taken back by what just happened.
…
"Honoka! Honoka wake up." Kotori shook her around.
Honoka jumped upon being awoken. She flipped out looking around like a madman. When she realized she was finally awake, she pointed in Umi's general direction. "Umi. Wake Umi up now."
…
Meanwhile, the ignored member of muse was left alone with Freddy. Umi backed away slowly from the demon. His Kotori avatar had long since disappeared and he was once again standing before her in his true form. His burnt and dead form. Oddly enough he did not have his hat with him.
"What. What do you want from me?" Umi asked, hoping to God someone would wake her up. Her surroundings were soon filled with black until there was nothing. Children soon came into view, hundreds of them, and their eyes were pitch black, dripping with blood. Even a big dude in a hockey mask was among the crowd.
"Same thing everyone wants, power." Freddy took another step closer to Umi. He flicked his arm up, and a large bone hand came out of the ground and grabbed her by the torso, securing her arms. "You wanna live or die?"
"L… live." Umi panicked.
"Then help me find out. And find the Necronomicon." Freddy told her.
"Fuck you!"
He laughed as he grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up. "Funny. I was just about to say the same thing."
The pulling motion on her head was slowly killing her, disconnecting nerves and bones. Umi tried wriggling free, but found every move just tightened the grip of the bones, causing infinitely more pain by the second.
She screamed out in agony as her neck began to crack from the slow, hydraulic like pull. Seconds went by as her head became less and less attached to her shoulders. "Stop! Stop!" She screamed. It only made Freddy laugh harder and harder. The hand around her body soon constricted so tightly, her ribs and shoulders shattered. She cried out again before something stopped it.
…
"Umi wake up!" Honoka screamed at her. Her eyes shot open, but the pain still remained as she fell forward onto the floor. Her breaths were pained and choppy. "Umi, are you okay?"
"My… my fucking neck!" She cried out. Her face still on the floor, body laid out like a rag doll. She tried desperately to move her arms, or legs, but couldn't. Her body wouldn't cooperate.
"Umi! Umi!" Kotori cried out in fear. "Oh my god." The two rolled her onto her back, causing her to cry out in agony again.
"Stop! Stop!"
"Umi." Honoka called out to her. "Umi we're here, we're here… where… where does it hurt?"
"My… my neck."
"Is that it? Umi is that it?" Honoka asked her. Kotori slowly backed away in terror. Her eyes watered in fear as her friend slowly died in front of her.
"I… I can't move… I can't move anything…" Umi cried through her words. "I can't move my arms, or... or my legs."
"Kotori, call an ambulance now!"
"I'm- I'm already on the phone." Kotori was tapping the numbers on her screen.
Honoka returned to Umi. "You're gonna be okay."
"I can't… I can't… I can't move." She told her, sniffling through her tears. "It's… it's getting harder to breathe."
"It's okay. We're here." Honoka assured her. "You're gonna make it."
"I… I…" Umi continued to mutter to herself.
Suddenly her mother came rushing in. "Umi! She ran across the living room to her side. "Umi, are you okay?"
"She's fine. We just need the ambulance." Honoka told her. She just ignored her and shoved her out of the way.
"Come on Umi. I know you can do it." She tried telling her, holding her in her embracing arms.
Umi's cries of pain continued as her mother tried to keep her from death. Or at least comfort her until. Those cries of agony would go on for hours. Well after the paramedics arrived.
…
Back in the Yazawa household, things got pretty… The blue armoured soldier, Tucker, would say it best. Bow Chika Bow Wow.
In a small, dark room, two siblings lay together in rest. One being about 9 while the other being about 6. Kokoa and Kotarou both slept in their respective beds. Kokoa had unconsciously wrapped her arms around her brother, literally spooning him like a giant, living teddy bear. Mostly in fear of what happened the previous few nights. She would never show it, but she was absolutely terrified. Kotarou on the other hand was merely too young to fully comprehend how fucked they really would be. They were bunched together in their usual sleeping attire and wrapped up in a soft and blue blanket.
In one room overslept another surprising beauty, Yuuko Yazawa, their mother. She had the most uneasy of slumbers. Her red and black nightgown showcased her body relatively perfectly. She truly was the hottest mom in love live. She remain sleeping on her side, barely even sleeping with the absolute fear that she may lose another child. What she would do if she lost another one of her kids, she doesn't know.
The police captain was already trying to pin Kokoro's death on her for any reason, the last thing he really wanted was for whatever was killing all these idols to come back to the Yazawa family. Her life had been hard enough, the last thing she needs is this shit. What she really needed was at one good night's rest.
However.
The yuri duo from before, Nico Yazawa and Maki Nishikino, were both stuffed away in the resident idol's room, doing the fun things. Clothes thrown about the room like bodies in Columbine, and the fan on full blast to try and hide what sounded like lifting a mixing spoon out of a bit pot of Mac and Cheese, a constant Shlick Shlack noise, loud enough to be heard on the moon.
I sincerely hope you don't need me to explain what's making that noise.
Now that we're in the subject of noises being made, use your imagination to figure out the next one. Did you guess it? Good. It sounded a bit like muffled cries for help, except, you know… Giggity. They had to keep it down so they were to not attract the attention of Nico's mom or surviving siblings, otherwise the kids would be traumatized for a completely different reason than they should be.
As for what would happen if her mother found out, one of two things could happen, she could go absolutely ballistic on her, or back off and strategically retreat until morning. Then deal with it, probably after dumping Kokoa and Kotarou off with Kotori for the afternoon.
The only other noise being made was the bed slightly rocking back and forth a bit a the night went on. That and the periodic buzzing of Maki's phone. It was Honoka and the others making sure they were still awake.
The room itself was fairly well lit for the middle of the night. The moon shone brightly through the window making one hell of a romantic sight, except the phone and alarm clock absolutely destroyed that.
Now onto the main event, the part you're probably dying to read. A rather short lemon sequence featuring Maki and Nico… because it's never been done before.
Maki had her legs tucked around Nico's, crotch to crotch, with the blankets wrapped around her back covering the two of them. She moved back and forth over and over again like a kid on your grandpa's rocking chair (hell if she went to fast and hard she could break it [Nico]).
She was mounted in the on top position, arms to either side of Nico for supporting the weight of her upper body. Nico, on the other hand, was right on bottom and was doing little to no work while still achieving all the credit, like a supervisor. She kept her hands firmly placed on Maki's ass and just held on tight.
You all know where this is going so…
"Nico…" Maki panted softly.
She merely nodded.
"I'm… gonna…"
Suddenly, Maki squeezed her legs tight and let out a muffled groan. She fell forward onto Nico like a fat guy passing out in a bar. She slightly crushed Nico.
Even Nico was tired too, but to less of an extent. Maki stayed sewn out on Nico's non existent chest. Maki groaned. "Fuck…"
"Face. It… Maki… we can't… do it…" Nico tried replying.
"We have… all frickin… night… I am… determined to… cum… simol… simo… at the same time…" She was obviously running out of steam at an alarming rate. They were school idols, the stamina and willpower of a Marine with the fruitiness of the Army. And the usefulness of the Air Force, but that's pretty much the extent of things.
Even still, most of us would probably go limp after a few hours, or at least lose the will to go on. Not these fuckers, nope. The time read 4:58 am… and they started around 8… at night. Mr own personal record would be about an hour before her mom suddenly got back (then she was arrested the next day, but let's not talking about that), but Fucking A dude, 8 hours with no lunch breaks or fifteens? That takes dedication. And ecstasy, but that would be pretty detrimental to the situation at hand.
"Face it… Maki… we… Can't… it's impossible." Nico complained.
"No damnit… we're doing this." She sat up, letting the blanket fall off her. She pulled Nico up with her, keeping their legs crossed together. "Damnit this is gonna work."
Nico sighed. "You said that… 6 climaxes ago."
"And you complained about that 8 of em ago." Maki growled back. Apparently, there have been a minimum of at least 14 different climaxes, meaning Goddamn. "Come on."
"No pun intended?"
"Shut up." Maki growled back, moving her hips up and down again.
And with that they were back at it again, this time in full on scissors position. This was not gonna work. No matter how you look at it, you can't. Statistically it should be possible, like surviving a bullet to the brain. Yes it's possible, but do you really want to find out if the odds are ever in your favor. No? Didn't think so.
They were fucking again, making muffled moans, mixing Mac and Cheese, becoming women, however the fuck you wanna put it, it's happening. That was until the door opened.
"Nico." Her mother barged in. "What the hell is that-" before she could even finish asking that question. She encountered it. "Oh what the fuck?!" She suddenly cried out, slamming the door.
Nico, nor Maki, had time to react to her mother coming in like that and just kept going right into the door slammed. That's when Nico went and clung to Maki faster than a fly to shit.
"Shit." Nico suddenly growled.
"Fuck." Maki was petrified by fear. It was no longer adrenaline pumping through their veins, it was fear.
The two held each other in shame. Outside of the door, they heard her mother ask politely. "Are you decent yet?"
"Ummm. One second mom." Nico looked around for something. She found her usual pink cardigan and handed it to Maki. "Here, you're the underage one."
Maki took it without a second through and tried her best to put it back on, she was simply too big to wear that thing right. Nico just threw on a large shirt that she had available.
"Okay. I think we're okay now." Nico told her.
Her mother, now shielding her eyes, came slowly into the room.
"Okay, what the fuck you two?"
Nico bowed her head. "I'm sorry mom."
Caught.
"What the fuck do you two think you're doing?" she asked them in rage.
"Mom. I can explain."
"You know your little brother and sister are sleeping in the other room, right? What if they came in and saw that atrocity to God." She yelled at them.
"Mom if you keep yelling-"
"Don't back talk me, I don't care what the fuck you think you're gonna be, you don't talk to me like that."
"Ms. Yazawa, Nico's only trying to-" Maki was cut off too.
"You know what I've had enough of you, you red headed over entitled rich girl. Ever since you came along, you've only been detrimental to everything we've been trying to achieve. You are the reason my daughter's are all confused."
Suddenly Nico felt offended. Very offended. She suddenly stood up, figuratively since she wasn't wearing pants and her wet underside would be visible. "We're all what?" Nico exclaimed.
"This is wrong what you're doing."
"You know what fuck you." Nico cried out. "I can love whoever the fuck I want. I don't care if she's a girl, I fell in love with her so if I want to do her, I fucking will."
"You-"
"And you know what, you know what? I think I'll show you." She suddenly grabbed Maki's cheek and pointed her face towards her own. Without any direction at all, Maki placed her own lips against Nico's as their tongues collided. After a moment or two, they separated and a trail of spit was all that was connecting them. Nico turned back to her mother who was fuming in rage. "You know what, after I'm a big famous idol, I'll happily make our wedding the biggest and most televised event in all of Japan just to spite you you ungrateful-"
"Nico wait." Maki stopped her. She turned to her. "My mom was the one who was completely against us, not yours."
Nico's eyes suddenly froze up as she turned to her mother. "Oh shit that means."
Her mother sighed. "Oh well, the gig was gonna be up eventually." Yuuko chuckled as she smacked the wall and hundreds of blades began shooting up from the floor. Maki and Nico both panicked and kept back onto the bed, away from the ground. The jump broke the buttons off of her cardigan and her bare chest was revealed.
Freddy's smile turned sadistic as the two girlfriends panicked in fear from the demon in front of them. "So, who's first?" He asked as he slowly got closer.
Without providing a chance to monologue, Maki grabbed Nico by the wrist and pulled her up to her feet. "Come on." She told her dragging her. Nico fumbled around to get up, but was soon on her feet. The two hauled ass to the window that lead outside, dodging blades that popped up from the ground.
Maki body slammed the window and broke it. She and Nico both climbed out into the ledge to avoid Kruger's madness. "Shit." Nico exclaimed as she almost fell.
"Careful." Maki told her.
"No shit." Nico replied.
Freddy made his way over to the window. "You can't hide from me out there you know." He told them still using Yuuko's voice.
"Fuck you." Maki cried out. "Come on, the balcony over there." Maki pointed to the neighbor's balcony window, the one she was closest to.
Nico nodded. "Right." She replied as she shimmied across the ledge. Maki followed, unfortunately she has to go around the window they just came from. As Nico continued along, Maki carefully hurried across the ledge.
She dragged her feet across to avoid stepping in broken glass. It sucks that she didn't have time to get shoes, or at least socks. When she went to transition from one side of the window to the other, she noticed Freddy was no longer in the room. Fuck. She thought to herself. He could be anywhere right now.
She ignored that and hurried over to Nico. It took only a moment of cautious and intense moving to fully escape. Before long, she was over with Nico on the neighbor's balcony. "Crap that close." Maki groaned.
"We're not out of the woods yet." Nico noted. "We still have to figure out how to wake up."
Maki sighed. "That's the problem." She carefully opened the sliding door, entering the next door apartment. "Okay. Now what?" She asked herself inspecting the room.
She slowly crept in, Nico held onto her hand as she wandered in. No lights were on, everything was off. The only light was the moon outside shining in. The fridge was on, but that was the only noise being made.
"Okay. Is there a light switch?" Maki asked.
"I have not the slightest clue if that would even work." Nico replied.
"Damnit." Maki grumbled. The two slowly got closer to the door when creaking noises came from the apartment. "Please tell me that's us."
"God I wish."
A couple of light footsteps made their way into the view. Nico could tell who it was, but Maki couldn't. Not at first. The ambient light of the room made it next to impossible to tell who it was without an IR/Night Vision goggle.
"Good Evening." A sweet and gentle voice called out.
"Who are you?" Maki asked carefully.
Nico slowly fell to her knees.
"Who am I?" She replied slowly walking into the light. Maki suddenly realized in horror who it was. Blood soaked the floor underneath her as she walked towards them, and an Otonokizaka uniform that as 50 sizes too big for her.
Kokoro Yazawa had appeared before them.
"Onee chan? Why did you bring Maki chan? Do we get to play?" She asked her as if she were supposed to know.
Nico watched in terror as her deceased sister came into view. "No. No no." Nico muttered.
Maki turned to her. "You stay the fuck away from us." She commanded her.
"Ahhh… but why? Can't I play with my big sister again."
She was taunting them.
Maki tried lifting Nico back to her feet again. "Come on, it's just a trick." She tried telling her.
"No… no…"
"Please. Maki you're being mean. I don't like it when people are mean." She pouted getting mad. "You're interrupting my play time with sis." She yelled as she swung her arm out towards the window. Maki was suddenly sent flying by some unseen force out the window.
"Maki!" Nico cried out.
Maki crashed through the window, and breaking through the weak rail blocking the balcony. She grabbed hold of the rail before almost falling to her death, saving herself from a long fall down.
Nico realized that Maki was out of her possible reach for now. She looked to Kokoro again.
She giggled again. "There. Now I'm alone with sis." Kokoro said to herself. "Now. What do we do first…" she contemplated.
Meanwhile Maki hung over the edge staring down into the abyss. The ground beneath her was at 10 stories down. So a fall would likely be fatal. She looked back up and saw a few pieces of metal railing she could grab onto and climb back up on.
She tried reaching them but couldn't. She had to jump to get to them, which would be sketchy in itself, added onto the fact that if she misses, it's a long way down. She slowly rocked herself back and forth until she was going fast enough to swing from the broken railing to the next.
She grabbed another and another until soon, she was holding onto the balcony. She looked into the apartment and saw Nico crawling backwards away from Kokoro. Maki tried to climb up, but something grabbed her leg. She looked down and saw Freddy was hanging onto her.
Back in the apartment.
Nico slowly backed away from her sister. "Why sis. Why?" Kokoro asked. "Why would you let Maki chan wear your special sweater that mom got you? Why would you let her wear it in such a lewd way?" She asked her. "Oh speaking of which. Like the outfit? Isn't it great, I look good in Otonokizaka's uniform, right?"
Nico still trembled with fear. Seeing her sister again, like this, was terrifying her right to the core. She would shit herself if she weren't already naked. Of course Nico wanted to see Kokoro again, but not like this. Soaked in her own blood and wearing her uniform just to spite her.
"Oh well. What's done is done. Hey sis, wanna play?" She asked getting even closer. "You know, sometimes I imagine that we all live in a big mansion and have hundreds of butler's." She chuckled.
Nico suddenly hit something solid. She turned around and saw she had backed up into the wall. "Fuck…" she muttered. She looked back to Kokoro.
"Don't tell mom, but sometimes I imagine…" she was all of a foot from Nico. "That you, and me, and Kokoa are all together." She said dropping to her knees and crawling up to Nico's face. "Together in your bed with nothing on." She said grabbing her shirt and ripping it clean off.
Nico suddenly got the balls to fight back. She began trying to kick her off, but somehow she had the strength of a football linebacker.
"And together." She told her as if Nico were never kicking her. "And Kotarou is there too. And he sits there." She said as she suddenly pinned Nico to the wall, putting her face so close to Nico's, their noses touched. "And he steals our virginity's, right in front of mom." She told her.
Nico's eyes flooding with tears. "Go… go away."
"Why sis? I thought you loved your sister's. Don't you?"
Suddenly, Maki appeared literally kicking Kokoro right off of Nico. "Get the fuck away from her." She then turned to Nico, and without giving any warning, grabbed her hands and pulls her up. "Let's go, now!" Maki shouted.
Nico suddenly came back to reality and followed along with what Maki said. The two were on their feet again and running for dear life. Maki charged into the front door and escaped with Nico in her hands. She quickly slammed the door shut making sure Kokoro wasn't following anymore.
Nico fell against the wall. "Shit."
"He's just fucking with us. Where's the exit?" Maki asked.
"I. I don't know, it's." Nico looked around panicking. "Over there I think."
Suddenly Kokoro slammed into the door, leaving a cartoonish imprint of her body. "Sis, wait!"
"Let's go." Maki quickly told her running in the direction she pointed.
Nico followed suit as Maki hauled ass. The two tried to reach the end of the hallway but found out kept getting longer and longer, like something out of Looney Tunes. Maki suddenly tripped over the stretching floor. Nico stopped to pick her up but caught something in the corner of her eye. A giant wave of water was rushing down the hall.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck." Maki repeated over and over, getting to her feet. "Run."
Before Nico had a chance to yell 'no shit' they were swept away by the wall of water. Nico and Maki both got dragged down the cartoonishly long hallway into the window at the end. They hit with such a thud, it cracked the window before finally shattering from the intense pressure exerted on it.
The lesbian couple soon plummeted ten or so stories down to the alley below, landing together on their sides and flooded by water. Moments later, when the water finally subsided, the two were left alone on the floor. They had miraculously survived, likely due to the water being there to break their fall.
Maki slowly got up. "Ni… Nico?" She looked around trying to find her. "Nico?"
"I'm… fine." Nico groaned as she leaned up. "Please tell me someone's gonna wake us up."
"Sorry, but it's starting to look otherwise." Maki sighed. She tried to get up but soon groaned in pain. She investigated her leg and found it was broken in several places. "Fuck." She hissed to herself as she tried to stand up. She fell back down as soon as she tried though.
"Maki." Nico rushed to her side, agree merely limped away from it. She tried helping her up. "Come on. Big wedding remember? Piss off your mom. I can't do that if Freddy gets you." Nico told her.
Maki groaned. "I know. I know."
Nico helped Maki down the alley towards the street when Freddy turned the corner. "FUCK." Nico exclaimed trying to turn around. She carried Maki down a few feet before dropping to the floor. She turned around and faced Freddy.
His smile as sadistic as ever. "Well. All out of places to run are we?" He asked.
Nico looked around. Maki was too injured to escape without being woken up, and Nico was not leaving her behind. She turned to Freddy again. "No. I uh…" Freddy soon teleported directly in front of them.
"Really?" He asked her leaning in close, with his breath smelling like sulphur.
"Well…"
He extended his claws out from his hand as they glowed a bright orange. "Any last words?"
Nico, without anywhere to go, looked to Maki. Her face riddled in agony, but still breathing. "Maki… Will you… marry me?" Her last words were a proposal.
Maki, realizing this was the end, nodded. "Ye… yeah. Yes." Maki sniffled.
Freddy chuckled mildly at the sight. "Ahhh, how cute… I guess you can kiss the bride."
As Freddy pulled his arm back to swing, Maki and Nico both pulled each other's faces in and locked their lips together. If they were gonna die. It was gonna be together.
Freddy's blades came down onto them faster than a speeding bullet and swiped the two across their faces, going clean through like butter. But something was different this time. His hand went clean through and popped out glowing yellow as he suddenly grasped his hands and screamed in agony.
"FUCK!" He screamed Maki and Nico broke away from the kiss to see Freddy's hand glowing like a lightbulb. "What? No." he tried going to stab Maki in the face with the blade was soon found his hand exploded upon contact. "No. This can't be."
Maki watched as his body soon became engulfed in glowing light. "What's happening?" Nico asked.
"I don't know." Maki replied.
Freddy continued to yell. "No. Not… true love." Soon the entire demon was encapsulated in a glowing aura and he exploded into a billion tiny light specks.
Maki and Nico shielded their eyes from the blast and soon found themselves surrounded in firefly like lights. Nico reached out and grabbed one and investigated it.
Cherry Blossoms.
"My God." Nico uttered to herself.
"Did… did we just." Maki was flabbergasted.
Nico turned to Maki. "Does this mean that."
"He's gone. Finally gone?" Maki finished her sentence. "Yes." She answered her question. "He's finally gone." She laughed wrapping her arms around Nico for the most embracing hug ever. Tears flowed down her face like a fountain.
Nico reciprocated the feelings and cried alongside her, returning the hug. "We did it…"
"Together."
She looked up to Maki and saw her relieved purple eyes. Nico kissed her girlfriend like there was no tomorrow. Moments ago, there was no tomorrow. When she broke away, Maki looked about as happy as a kid in a candy store.
"Well… uh… you said something about a wedding?" Maki asked.
"Oh hell yeah. We'll do it as the grand finale to my first show." Nico told her.
"I'm still underage you know?"
"I mean later, when I have my first show as a super idol." Nico replied, giggling at everything Maki said. "Unless you want to do it now when we wake up?"
Maki sighed. "Well. At least I got something to look forward to."
Nico giggled more as she helped Maki up to her feet. Maki had trouble getting to her feet, as most of her body was either broken or covered in bruises and scrapes. Not like Nico was much different. Nico wrapped her hands around Maki's waist and pulled her close.
She chuckled as she finally told her. "I love you."
"I love you too."
The two finally shared a kiss long enough to make any romance movie jealous. As if the movie were finally over, light encompassed them as they slowly but surely returned from the dream world. The end was finally here and they could have that happy ending they always dreamed of.
The end.
…
Honk.
The two suddenly realized something was very wrong when a pair of headlights suddenly appeared and changed towards them. They didn't have time to react when a large skewing javelin attached to the front of a pickup truck penetrated the two lovers in the chest and carried them across the alley before crashing into the wall.
This nightmare was apparently far from over.
MakI opened her eyes and saw Nico was only inches from her face, and spitting out a lot of blood. She looked down to her own barren chest and saw Nico's was pressed against it, blood and entrails sticking out. She tried touching it, but found there was no feeling on anything there.
She looked to Nico and saw she was unconscious. "Nico… Nico." She tried getting her attention. "Nico."
Freddy opened the door to the Ford Truck and came out from the driver's side wearing a red and black plaid shirt, blue jeans and a camo trucker cap that read Duck Dynasty. "Shiit." He cried out with a southern accent. "I'm sorry it's an old habit, smashing naked kissing fags with my truck is just kinda how I do things, nothing personal."
Maki tried extending her hand to him to give him the bird, but as unsuccessful in moving.
Freddy, with his regular voice and accent, still wearing the outfit. "You didn't think it was gonna be something THAT lame and cliche, did you?" Freddy laughed as he walked towards them. Nico began to stir. "Hey Maki." He chuckled. "I think your wife is beginning to stir." He told her.
Nico suddenly vanished.
"Nico!" Maki tried crying out. She must have woken up, or that's what happens when you die here. Either way, Maki was alone with Freddy. "Stay… away from me."
Freddy reached out and grabbed her face with his clawed hand. "You're not going anywhere bitch."
…
Nico's eyes shot open upon realizing she was awake. She looked down to see Maki was indeed sleeping on her chest, but something was wrong and very different. The entire bed was caked in a thick layer of blood..She lifted Maki's body up for a moment and saw the insides of her chest. Heart beating, lungs inflating, and rib cage smashed. The same was true with Maki's chest. Nico dropped Maki and cried out in pain.
"Maki." She shook her around. "Maki wake up damnit. Wake up." Finally Maki's head lifted up, and a uneasy amount of dread was in her eyes. Nico assumed the same was true for herself. "Maki."
"Ni…"
"Where's… my phone. I need… to call…"
"Stop… Nico."
"What?" Nico asked, trying to contain her insides. Maki lifted herself up.
Her breasts fell to either side of her and essentially started to fall off as her body went up into a sitting position. Her heart and lungs dangled through her shattered rib cage, leaking out all that blood onto her lover. "Nico…" she told her. "I want you to know. That what I'm about to say is completely true."
"No…" Nico muttered to herself.
Maki chuckled. "It's great to be back among the living." Her eyes suddenly opened, revealing fire red and orange blood shot eyes.
"No… no no."
Freddy, using Maki's body, wrapped one of her hands around Nico's neck. "You know. 90% of marriages wind up like this." He grabbed a lamp off the table next to him. "That statistic has probably changed, but fuck it. That still holds true now."
"No… please." Nico pleaded, trying to release the hand from her neck. Her last sight was the woman she loved murdering her.
Freddy raised the lamp high. "Shhh… you wouldn't want your little brother and sister to hear you scream, would you?" He laughed as he brought the lamp down on her face quickly and painfully.
The lamp smashed into her face, but with Freddy blocking her windpipe, her screams no longer audible. He brought the lamp back down onto her face again, crushing her nose and cheekbones. Blood flew everywhere in the bedroom as the lamp made contact with Nico.
After a few more swings, most of her face began to leak out, eyeballs hanging out of their sockets. Another swing cracked open her head as Freddy released his hand from her neck. Another swing split her head into two like a watermelon and her brain spilled out. Freddy took one more swing that finally shattered the lamp and glass went into everything.
He sadistically laughed as he pulled the brain out from Nico's broken face. Needless to say, there is an unrealistic amount of blood and gore… you don't need me to explain it any further. He slowly stood up with Nico's brain in hand and began writing on the wall, soaking teddy bears and pillows with her blood. He dropped her brain as he leaned back in appreciation of his work.
Maki's phone buzzed.
Freddy looked down and saw her phone was vibrating. He picked up the phone and saw Honoka had texted her.
Umi's hurt, meet me and the others at your hospital.
Freddy laughed as he knew his work was done. He quickly exited the screen and selected the camera option from the menu. He knows how to operate cell phones because he's in Maki's head. He's been in everyone's head, so he was able to absorb some knowledge of how things work. It's how he knew that one of their mothers had a problem with their lesbian relationship.
He turned the phone's 'self portrait' mode on and took a selfie of himself and Nico's mutilated remains. He opened up Facebook and sent these picture to Hanayo. He simply sent the message. 'Honeymoon going great.' After he sent it, he tossed to phone out the window and laughed to himself. "And now for the finishing touch." Freddy said to himself with a simple smile.
Maki's chest exploded more, sending her heart and lungs into the wall. Freddy's clawed hand came into the real world, and reached up and grabbed Maki's defeated face. The blades tore open her face as he ripped it clean off and sucked it back into the dream world.
When his hand returned to the dream world through her chest. Maki dropped to her knees and fell onto Nico. She landed in the same position she fell asleep in. With her face against Nico's shoulder, and legs to either side Nico's.
Just a few hours longer, and this wouldn't have been a problem.

A/N Well how's that. You don't get a chapter in a while, so when you do get one it's the longest in Nightmare at Otonokizaka to date.
12,000 words. Fuck I didn't even mean to make it that long either. Oh and congratulations "Crappy Angel" you were half right. You get one freebie/request of basically any kind.
Well who's our next victim?
Anyway if you want updates on how this story is going, or just care about my life and to see how things are going, I started a blog on WordPress. Link in profile. Figured I should do that just for the hell of it.
Okay. Now back to White Knight. Which will also be gigantic. Hopefully.
