Chapter Fourteen

The silence in the room was deafening. Honey-sempai lied dead in my arms with his eyes ripped out of his skull, and Haruhi was on the other side of the room with a hand over her mouth. Kaoru had already taken sempai's life, and we weren't able to stop him.

"Oh God…" Haruhi choked out. "Not sempai, anybody but sempai!"

Sighing, I gently lied sempai's body down on the floor and stood up. "Call Mori-sempai. Tell him Kaoru got Honey-sempai and he's coming after him next."

Haruhi sniveled, nodded, and pulled her cell phone out of her pocket. Pulling her to her feet, I quickly helped her into the car while she dialed Mori-sempai's number.

"Haruhi," Mori-sempai said on the other end.

"S-Sempai…Honey-sempai's…d-dead."

"I know."

I took the cellular device from Haruhi's hand and held it to my ear. "Mori-sempai, we fear that Kaoru's coming for you next."

"I know," he said. "He's already here."

"What?" I yelled. "What do you mean he's already there?"

"He showed up in the main bathroom. I'm trying to fight him off now."

"Well, j-just hang on sempai! Haruhi and I are on our way right now and we'll help you!"

"No!" he said. "Don't come over here, you'll just get yourselves killed if you try to fight him."

"But-"

"I said no Hikaru." And that was it. After those words, the other end clicked and Mori-sempai had hung up.

I took the cell phone away from my ear and looked down.

"Well, now what do we do?" Haruhi asked, seeing the pained look on my face.

Gripping the cell phone, I handed it back to Haruhi and started up the car. "We're going over there."

"What? But sempai said-"

"I know what sempai said!" I snapped. "But I don't care! I'm not gonna just sit here and do nothing while he fights off Kaoru by himself and possibly get killed!"

Haruhi gripped her pant legs and looked down. I sighed, knowing I hurt her by snapping at her, and put the car in drive. "I just don't want to see any more people get killed; not by Kaoru's hands."

Without saying anything, Haruhi nodded as we drove off to sempai's home.

When we arrived at Mori-sempai's place, we noticed that all of the lights inside were turned off. Everything outside was so dead quiet I began to fear that we were too late.

"C'mon," I told Haruhi as I turned the car off and got out.

Nodding softly, she quickly got out of the passenger seat and ran up to my side. Taking hold of each other's hands, we walked up to sempai's door step and knocked on the door.

"Sempai! Sempai it's us! Open up!" But there was no answer. I tried knocking again. "Sempai!"

As the silence continued to drag on, we finally heard something crash from inside the house.

"Sempai?" Haruhi said.

Aggravated that no one was answering the door, I gritted my teeth and kicked the door open. "C'mon!" I said, grabbing hold of Haruhi's wrist and dragging her inside.

When we walked inside the house, we could see that the whole place was trashed. Windows were broken, glass was everywhere, and furniture looked like it'd been thrown from across the room. It was a complete and utter mess.

"Sempai?" Haruhi called.

"Sempai!" I shouted, but again, no answer.

Wondering where sempai could be, we searched around the house to look for him and tried to avoid running into Kaoru. Then, a dim light shining from a distant hallway caught our eye and we could hear the clinking of metal from afar.

"Sempai!" Haruhi called, running towards the light.

"We're coming sempai!" I took off running after Haruhi and could hear the clinking get louder and louder. When we reached the room where the light was coming from, we saw a horrifying image.

Kaoru was crouched down on all fours, sneering up at Mori-sempai who was holding out one of his swords in defense. Staring each other down in battle, they both started to circle each other, wondering who was going to make the next attack.

As I saw Kaoru's body tense up, getting ready to throw himself at sempai, I couldn't help but yell.

"Look out sempai!"

Startled, Mori-sempai turned to me and frowned. "Hikaru! What are you doing here?"

Seeing his opening, Kaoru snarled like a beast and jumped on top of sempai – pushing him down to the ground.

"No!" Haruhi screamed.

As Kaoru swung his claw-like hands in front of sempai's face, sempai brought up his sword to try and block Kaoru's attacks. Unfortunately, Kaoru knocked the sword out of sempai's hands and the weapon went sliding across the floor.

"No!" sempai yelled.

Knowing he had won the fight, Kaoru smiled evilly, brought his hand up in the air, and gave one final slash to Mori-sempai's face. Mine and Haruhi's eyes went wide as we saw sempai's body go limp – indicating that he had no life left. Kaoru had finished him off…and it was my fault.

"Sempai! No!" Haruhi screamed.

Hearing the sound of Haruhi's voice, Kaoru turned around and sneered at her. "You!" he said, getting off of sempai's lifeless body and walking slowly over to Haruhi.

With my heart thumping in my chest, I quickly pulled Haruhi out of Kaoru's way and pulled her along with me as we tried to head for the exit.

"Where are we going?" Haruhi asked.

"Anywhere! We just need to keep running and keep away from Kaoru! We need to make sure there aren't any mirrors for him to be able to get to us!"

As we got closer to the exit, Kaoru appeared in front of us and blocked the exit.

"I don't think so," he said, in a deep, demonic voice. Before we could do anything, Kaoru shoved both of us back and Haruhi and I both fell to the floor. Seeing Haruhi about five feet away from me, I tried to get up and walk over to her, but Kaoru crouched down in front of me.

"Nice to see you again Hikaru," Kaoru said. "Too bad this will be the last time we see each other." Kaoru brought up his right arm and was about ready to take my life…until…

"Stop!" Haruhi screamed. Just as Kaoru brought down his arm, Haruhi ran in front of me and blocked me from Kaoru's attack. My eyes widened as I saw Kaoru take Haruhi's life right before my eyes.

"Haruhi!" I screamed.

Her body sank to the floor and I could see a trail of blood running down from her eyes. Seeing her die right in front of me made my body go numb. That was supposed to be lying on the floor dead, not Haruhi!

Kaoru looked down at Haruhi's lifeless body and laughed. "How stupid, she risked her life to save yours." He then turned his head to look at me. "Now you're all alone…just like me…"

Without another word, Kaoru ran back to the main bathroom, disappeared into the mirror, and left me alone lying on the floor.

As the silence in the air grew longer and longer, realization began to hit me and I pulled my knees to my chest.

Kaoru had finally finished off everyone; there was no one left.

I was all alone.
