I open the door to my clubroom, hoping to find Yuri in there. We couldn't find her and I think she wasn't at school the whole day. But, I'm still not sure if I want to see her. I found out earlier today that Miss Yuna was found dead on the highway. Multiple stab wounds and holes covered her body and the tires of her car was covered in holes. She was able to make it to the hospital, but she died anyway due to her lungs and stomach being punctured. I didn't know what to feel when we were told about her sudden passing. A part of me is so, so guilty about it while the other part of me just felt angry at myself and Yuri. I felt my stomach churn at the thought, knowing that I just sealed the fate of an innocent teacher. I let out a long sigh and open the door to see who is inside. I am only greeted by a dimly lit room and the sound of a soft breeze entering trough the open window. I took a sit near the front and took out my sketch pad to finish the manga Amy and Yosuke wanted me to draw. As I drew the lines and borders of the panel, I begin to contemplate on what should I do. In the game, Yuri confesses to the player on Friday, and from what I know, a fight might break out between the Yuri, Natsuki and Monika. I shake my head and try to calm myself.
" Tsk... You can't keep relying on some other person to help you with your problems..." I mutter to myself out loud. The weight of the silence bears down on me, I'd be lying if I say I wasn't waiting for a response.
" Ahaha... Too bad!" A distorted laugh can be heard from within the room. I stand up in surprise and look around, only to realize, this wasn't coming from anywhere in this room. Rather, it's echoing inside my head.
" Akami... sama?" I ask timidly.
" Ehehe... Finally, I got this thing to work! Man, it's hard to do stuff when your powers is limited. How are you?" I sigh and I catch my head in my hands. To think, this guy is still alive after all.
" I'm fine... Okay, that's a lie. Shit is going down hill ever since you left. I'm having a hard time keeping it all together. To think I have to deal with some monster here... DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO MAKE HER AS VIOLENT AS THAT?!" I shouted in a helpless and angry tone.
" Bwahahahaha! You'll be fine! Trust me! Maybe... Hey, as long as you have Monika I'm sure you'll be fine! Probably..."
" What the fuck do you mean by 'probably'? You know what...*sigh*... forget about it." I shake my head in frustration.
" Anyways, I have something to tell you. Now that I'm no longer there, your wounds and injuries won't heal that fast anymore. You also won't be able to escape the law and other crap like that. So... Go get insurance or something."
" Solid piece of advice. Thanks..."
" Hahahaha! Anyways, be careful... I fear that bad things is about to- Ah! What in the world?! Holy crap! It exploded-" My head was filled with a ringing sound, causing me to feel nauseous and dizzy. I had to take a sit due to my dizziness. After a while, the ringing sound stopped yet I still felt nauseous.
" Damn god! What the fuck did you just do to me?! Ugh... I think I'm gonna be sick." I bury my head in my arms to take a nap.
Outside the clubroom
" Holy shit, Yoku's lost it!"
" Shhh! Yosuke, be quiet... He might hear you." Amy and Yosuke slowly backs away from the door. They were about to enter the room when they heard Yoku talking to himself.
" Let's just come back later." Amy whispers to Yosuke. Yosuke nods in response.
" Let's go tell Monika, she knows what to- Oof!" Yosuke stumbles backwards, but Amy catches him before he hits the floor.
" I'm sorry! A-are you ok?" Amy and Yosuke looks at Yuri, her eyes are filled with concern for Yosuke.
" Y-Yeah... It's fine. You going to the club?" Yosuke asks as he stands straight.
'' Mhm. Why?"
" Oh, uhm... well... we won't go in there if we were you. Yoku is... well, going nuts." Amy said as she glances at the door. A pained groan can be heard from inside.
"... I'll g-go talk to him." Yuri says as she went near the door.
" Oh, ok! We'll go get Monika and the others." The two said in unison, only to be stopped by Yuri.
" No! Erm... I... I mean let's not bother them. They might be doing something important. A-And it might hurt Yoku i-if he was seen by the others in his current state." The two glances at each other, before looking at Yuri. Her violet eyes were like those of a puppy, pleading with them to give her some alone time with Yoku.
" Okaaaay, you have a point. We'll leave it to you then... Bye!" The two ran off and left Yuri to deal with Yoku. As they ran, Amy looks back one last time before shivering. When they turned the corner, Amy brought up the thing that has been bugging her lately.
" Hey, have you noticed how... well, weird Yuri is recently?" Amy said as they begin to slow down into a fast walk.
" Yeah... It's probably nothing. But, I just can't feel that something is amiss with her." Yosuke says as he stops walking. Suddenly, his eyes widened in horror and he turns to Amy.
" We... We should call them." Yosuke said as he recalled what he saw earlier. A small, fresh bloodstain on Yuri's sleeve.
*DDLC: Our Reality*
After a few minutes of head splitting pain, it finally disappears. I sigh in relief, thinking that it's finally gone. I wanted to get some more sleep, but I was interrupted by someone knocking on the door. I look up and to my surprise, see Yuri sheepishly poking her head from behind the door. At first, I was glad to finally have some company, but then it hit me. This is Yuri, on the day she is supposed to confess, and we're all alone in a room."
" H-Hello! U-Uhm... Are the o-others not yet here?" Yuri timidly said as she entered the room.
" N-No... Monika and the others are not yet finished with the... questioning." I clench my fists to try and hide my anger.
Earlier today, we were asked to proceed to the faculty so the police could question us. Their investigation revealed that Miss Yuna had dinner with us before she got murdered on her way home, so they had to talk to us about what exactly happened last night. It pains me to think about it, to know that if I only made her stay with us for that night, she would still be alive today, but Natsuki and Sayori is in a worse state than me. Sayori and Natsuki broke down upon hearing the news, so Monika had to take them somewhere to calm them down, leaving me to tend to to the club for a while.
" Oh... I see... excellent..."
" Hmm? What was that?"
" Oh! N-N-Nothing! I'm j-just muttering something to myself... Ahaha..." Yuri takes a sit beside me and pulled out her book. Oh no...
" Uhm... Yoku... D-Do you want to r-read my book with me?" She holds up her book and looks at me with anticipation.
" S-Sure..." I said begrudgingly.
" Oh, A-Am I bothering you? I-I'm sorry..." Yuri said in a dissapointed tone. I shake my head in response and immediately stand up.
" N-No! Of course not! I'm just a bit shaken by something. Anyway, you want us to read on the floor today, right?" I smile at her as I glanced over to the spot near the closet.
" H-Huh? Y-Yes... How did you know?" Yuri looks at me with a confused expression.
" Well, slouching over while reading makes my back ache. It's easier to read while leaning on something, and it's good for the posture too, right?" I smile at Yuri. Her face started turning red at my words. Man, I really wanted to hear her say those lines about her back pain. But, well, it is awkward for her.
" Y-Yes... Posture... T-That is correct..." I can't help but chuckle as Yuri gets flustered.
" Hahaha, why don't we flip the script a bit, huh? I'll go brew the Oolong tea you like so much while you go ahead and sit on the floor while being dumbfounded." I laugh as Yuri tried to make sense of what is happening. She scratched her head and walked towards the spot where she wanted to read the book together.
I watched the way she walked- No, limped her way to the corner of the room. As I took the tea set from the cabinet, I kept glancing at her to observe what the hell she is doing. I could clearly see the bloodstains on her sleeves, the scratches on her legs and the little tears on her uniform. It seems she was having fun while she skipped school. I took the pitcher inside the cabinet... man this is a huge cabinet.
" Oh! L-Let me help you with that, Yoku. I'll go fetch-" Yuri was about to stand up, but I shook my head at her.
" Nope! You go sit there and do nothing while I go ahead and fill this thing with hot water. Ok?" I say as I open the door. I remember this scene from the game, the one where I see Yuri cuts herself before the roll back.
" And Yuri..."
" Y-Yes?"
" Please don't cut yourself while I'm gone." I said before leaving the room.
*DDLC: Our Reality*
A large pool of blood can be seen on the floor, along with an unmoving, limp and seemingly lifeless body. She's not dead, not yet at least. Her soft breathing can be heard inside the empty house. A little while ago, she blacked out from blood loss, yet she miraculously survived losing a litre of blood. Like a scene from some horror movie, the fingers of the girl began to twitch, followed by her coughing violently. Suddenly, her eyes open to reveal her bright gold eyes that glimmered in the darkness.
" Ugh... I ... sustained damage... to 8% of my body..." Maido groans as she begins to stand up. Her hands and feet are unsteady, causing her to wobble a bit as she pulled herself up.
" Hmm... I see... I've lost around a litre and a half of blood... I should be dead right now..." Maido mutters to herself as she looks at her wounds.
" Interesting, biological organisms are easily susceptible to damage. Thankfully, I've been engineered to handle this kind of damage." Maido says as she applies some pressure on the gash near her right side. She winces at the pain of the having her wound.
" I... I see... Akami-sama, you tried to make me as close to a human as possible. This the first time I've felt such pain... Hmph! *Blegh*" Maido vomits out some blood on the floor, messing up the carpet on the living room.
" I... I need to stitch myself up and get some rest. Perhaps some other day, I'll be able to trade blows with you again, Yuri." She said as she wipes away the blood from her mouth. She looks out the window and frowns.
" Yoku... Be careful." Maido said as she turns to look at the mess she made in the living room floor, carpets and the kitchen floors as well.
" I'll need to clean this... later. I need to take a nap."
*DDLC: Our Reality*
I finish filling the pitcher with some hot water. I pass by the hallway where the MC saw Yuri's lacerations on her arm. It sent a small shiver down my spine. I know that the art is nothing compared to the real thing. I quickly made my way to the clubroom, careful as not to spill any of the water inside the pitcher. I open the door to see Yuri drawing lines on her left wrist using the pen I gave her. She was a bit surprised at my intrusion, but she managed to calm herself in an instant.
" Ahaha~ Did I scare ya?" I ask as I place the pitcher down on the shelf.
" Y-Yeah... I was a bit startled, but I'm fine." Yuri said as she stands up, fixing her skirt as she walks over.
" Hehe, sorry. I didn't mean to, I should've knocked first." I said to her in a soft tone. She shakes her head and smiles.
" It's... alright. I shouldn't be doing such things in public." She sighs as she stands beside me and hands me the Oolong Tea leaves.
After that, there was only an awkward silence between us as I made the tea. She kept twirling a strand of her hair in her fingers while we waited for the tea to infuse with the water. I'd see her glance at me from time to time, but I ignored it. Her usual calm and composed aura would sometimes feel different, it would feel heavy and suffocating from time to time. After a few minutes, the tea is finally ready for us to enjoy while we are reading. I carefully place the cups beside us before we sat on the floor. She opened her book and we begin to read quietly, each of us holding one half of the book. No words were being exchanged between us, probably because I didn't want to talk with her. Not right now at least, I still don't know how I should feel about her.
Only the sounds of our breathing and
pages turning can be heard in the room. We were engrossed on the horrific novel before us, each chapter pulling us into it's plot. I didn't even notice that we were so close together that our shoulders were touching. I try my best not to accidentally brush against her chest to avoid anymore awkward situations. Although, she may not notice it since her face is wearing that intense expression she has when she reads a book. I can only assume now that her mind has left this reality and is now visualizing the scenes of the book.
After a few minutes, I relax a bit. I use my free hand to grab some chocolate candy from... my... pocket...
" Huh? W-When did... I see this before?" I murmur as I look at the two pieces of chocolate candy. Then it hit me, this is what happened on the day where Yuri fucking committed seppuku!
" I-Is there something wrong, Yoku?" Yuri asked with a concerned tone.
"... No. It's nothing." I said as I put the two pieces of candy back in my pocket.
" Hmm? Is that chocolate candy? Ah... uh... I-I'm not going to ask for some! So, please don't hesitate to eat!" Yuri smiles as she looked at me and my chocolates. Shit, I just followed the game's script! Wait a minute, maybe... maybe I could do something about this...
" Ah, it's ok. You can have some if you... want..." I weakly said to her as I offer her some a piece of chocolate. She shakes her head in response. But before she could say anything, I quickly unwrap the chocolate from it's wrapper.
" Say 'Ahh'." I say as I lift the piece of chocolate from its wrapper.
" Eh?! Ah... Y-Yoku... I don't think that is appropriate-"
" Ssshhh! That's an order. Now... Ahh!" I said sternly, causing Yuri to shake a little bit.
" Y-Yes... Ahh~" Yuri opens her mouth and I place the candy in it. She quickly closes her mouth and looks away from me. Her face is completely red, as expected from what I just did.
" Now, shut up and read. Geez, and don't do anything crazy. I seriously want to read this interesting part." I said as I look at the book on our laps. I was about to touch the page when I noticed that my hands have chocolate on them.
" Yuri... If you don't mind, c-can you hold the book for me... Uh... I might mess up your book if I touch it." I said as I wipe the chocolate off my fingers with my handkerchief.
" S-Sure..." Yuri said as she took hold of the book. Her hand is resting on my left lap, just like the damn scene in the game.
" A-Ah.." Yuri starts to breathe heavily... Oh shit, here it comes. The scene where Yuri has those creepy and surreal eyes as she looks at me.
" I... I can't... Yoku..." Suddenly, Yuri forcefully grabs my arm and jerks me to my feet, knocking my tea cup over. But, this is all part of the plan.
" Yoku..." Yuri clenches her chest.
" My heart won't stop pounding, Yoku..." She looks me straight in the eye. Her gaze is filled with longing and lust.
" I can't calm down! I can't focus in anything anymore...!" She takes a step forward.
" Can you feel it Yoku?" She takes my hand and presses it against her chest.
Holy shit! C-Calm down... Calm down... Monika would arrive just as this conversation ends... right? I thought to myself as I begin to sweat profusely.
" Why is this happening to me? I feel like I'm losing my mind. How can I make it stop?!" I shiver and quake a bit, yet I tried my best not to show it. Yuri looks at me intensely.
" It even makes me not want to read..." She closes the gap between us. Her face now inches away from mine, her bloodshot eyes stared intently into mine.
" I just want... To look... At you~" Her violet eyes stared deep into mine, sending a chill down my back. Her chest pressed unto mine as she pushed herself unto me. It sent goosebumps down my skin, and I begin to break in cold sweat.
"... Haah..." Yuri takes hold of my hand.
"... Haah..." She then starts leaning forward.
"... Haah..." She puts a leg forward between mine.Okay, this is enough!
I try to push her away, but she suddenly overpowers me and pushed me down. In a blink of an eye, she got on top of me and pinned down my arms. She pants as she stares at my face with those lustful eyes. Her sweat drips on my face, along with a few drops of her drool. She sat atop my legs, straddling it while she immobilized me. I could feel the thumping sound of her heart, it was beating so fast. This monster... is in heat... and things are not going according to plan.
" Yoku~ I... I want you!"
She suddenly presses herself on me. Her soft, plump breasts brush against my chest. I struggled, but to no avail.She leaned forward, her lips parted as she tried to kiss me. I pull away, hoping she wouldn't kiss me, but she continued to press forward. But, mere millimeters away from my lips, she stopped. Her lustful gaze is now that of anger and rage as she pulled away and looked at the front of the room. I look up and saw, from the darkness of this room, a pair of emerald green eyes glowed with fury. The wind blew inside the room, pushing aside the curtains to let the redish hue of the afternoon in. It revealed a figure with the long, beautiful brown hair tied with a puffy white bow that I loved so much. Yuri snickered as she got off me.
" Monika." Yuri said as she stands up straight and glares at her.
" Hello, Yuri... May I ask, what are you doing with MY darling?"
