King of X
The man stood there over Ushiromiya Battler's corpse. In his eyes was a mixture of sadness… and disappointment.
"Why…?" He began to wipe his face furiously.
/Why the hell was I crying?/
How long has he been waiting for this day? It had finally come, and he couldn't remember a damn thing after killing that wretch of a woman Natsuhi. Killing only her though, still left him half empty.
Battler's body, was entirely too clean. What a shame~! Only one shot in the heart… there were so many special things that could have been done!
The killer checked the time on his watch; Kasumi should have been here by this time. Unfortunately there wasn't any time left to play. He was always polite, and he didn't want to seem rude, even during this special occasion.
Wait.
Wait…
There was something he just noticed. And it took away the last reason to be his usual respectful self… and he grew furious once more.
"Aren't you dead?" He gently prodded Battler's body to make sure. He was…
"Why the fuck are you smiling then? Are. YOU. Laughing at me?" He was kicking at the dead teen's body in a crazed tantrum. Of course, it was all in vain, and like a child that couldn't have his way, hot tears welled in his eyes.
/You were laughing at me from the beginning, weren't you…?/
"Guess who will be leaving here alive~?" There wasn't a response; there never will be a response. "That's right, me! So stay here and rot for all eternity!" The insult lay on deaf ears, and the killer closed his deadly eyes, and walked off into the sunlight.
He reached the dock were the seagulls had returned to call once more.
"My, aren't you handsome with all of that blood on you."
The woman from the Sumadera family greeted Amakusa in a sadistic tone. "You've been doing it for so long, how about you come lick the drops off of me?" The silver-haired man told her automatically.
"Ufufufu, am I the only one who enjoys it?" But he was the only one she knew who couldn't care less about the way he addressed her. "Perhaps I should treat you to some tea to change your mind. Hmm~?"
"Sorry 'Mother', but is that a threat? Well, whatever, I think you secretly like it when I talk to you like this," He was close enough to smell her expensive lilac perfume. "Am I right?"
She rarely did so, but for him, she opened her eyes fully. "Possibly," she turned away to enter one of her comfortable speed boats.
"But what I want to see is that pain in your eyes again. Those priceless broken tears are the sweetest treasure in life. Just like earlier, I want to see you beg and plea for my mercy."
'Just like me'.
'To be on top, there must be someone on the bottom to step on'.
She'll get there. As soon as Kasumi beats the 'certainty' of her fate, she'll definitely be there.
