I made a mistake in the previous chapter (which is corrected now). It wasn't Koakuma no Riddle 7, but 5! Thank you for telling me, sorry for that! I reread this doujin to be sure to get the relationship between them right, and I also reread Otoya's assassination attend in the manga to get her personnality right.

Shiena hoped that is was only a bad dream, a terrible nightmare. But unfortunately, it wasn't the case.

The brunette woke up in her bed, under the blanket. It took her sometimes to fully remember what happened yesterday. First, she thought that it was only a nightmare, but the pain she felt made her realise that it really happened, what Otoya did to her was real.

With panic, Shiena removed the blanket, which confirmed to her that she wasn't tied up anymore, and looked at her body. She discovered that she was naked, and her injuries had bandages on them.

The hacker stopped her torn apart shirt on the floor and a violent flash of memory appeared in her mind.

She remembered the painful scissors' cuts on her skin. She remembered the fear to have her body at the mercy of Otoya. The serial killer had invaded her privacy, violated her body, and assaulted her. Shiena remembered the sensation of Otoya's hands on her, her touches, her licks, her fingers forcing their way inside of her, and her kisses.

The brunette suddenly felt sick. If her stomach wasn't empty, she would have probably thrown out. She then began to sob. She lost her virginity by being raped by someone she loathed, and the worse about this is that she didn't entirely dislike it. Shiena hated herself from feeling that way.

The hacker began to panic even more. Where was Otoya? Shiena was terrified that the serial killer could be still in her apartment. She rose up from her bed and put some clothes, before cautiously leaving her bedroom. She searched everywhere in her apartment, no sign of Otoya.

Shiena sighed in relief. But her relieve was only ephemeral when she realised that the serial killer knew where she lived. Otoya could come back at any time. This thought terrified the brunette.

She then realised something. The serial killer didn't kill her. Shiena wasn't sure why. Otoya was a notorious serial killer who had murdered more than twenty people without remorse, so why did she spared her life? She then remembered something that the purple haired girl said. Otoya had claimed that she "liked" her. Maybe it was why she…the hacker suddenly looked at the bandages on her and felt angry.

"A monster like her can't feel love! Someone that likes me wouldn't have done those horrible things to me! I hate her!" she thought.

Well, Otoya couldn't be called a "normal" person. She was definitely sick in the head. So, maybe she wasn't able to show her affection other than by using violence…

Shiena refused to think that way. There was no way that she could felt any sympathy toward Otoya. What she did to her was unforgivable.

The brunette went to her nightstand to take her glasses. But when she reached their case, she discovered that it was empty. There was a little piece of paper in the case, and Shiena read it.

"I'm sorry Shiena-chan, but I couldn't help myself from stealing your glasses again. If you want them back, try to find me.

ps: I also hid all your spares ;)"

Shiena remained emotionless for few seconds. She took something else inside of her nightstand and look at it. It was a revolver.

"I'm going to fucking kill her this time."

"Well, she's taking her time. When are you gonna find me, Shiena-chan?"

Otoya was hiding in an empty apartment on the first floor. The serial killer looked at what she was holding. In one of her hand, she had the brunette's glasses, and in the other one, her scissors.

She remembered the night she had spent with Shiena. Surprisingly, she felt a lot of pleasure, despite the lack of mutilations and, well, of killing.

Otoya found it weird that she enjoyed herself so much without having brutally tortured or killed the brunette. The taste of her blood when she licked her wounds, the taste of her tears, or her sweat, of her womanhood…there were so addictive. Otoya could remember the sensation of Shiena's private part she had felt with her fingers. It was so soft and wet, and also fluffy and tight.

But the best had been the brunette's moans. Those loud and cute moans of hers, it was hard to distinguish if there were cries of pain or pleasure, not that Otoya really cared. She remembered that Shiena at first had tried to keep her voice down, but she finally ended up moaning quite loudly. This thought made Otoya giggled.

But still, she wondered why she spared her. Was it only because she didn't consider Shiena as her type? It couldn't be only that. After all, Otoya had already killed people who weren't her type in the past. There must have another reason.

The serial killer remembered the strange feeling she felt when she saw Shiena cried. For some reason, it made her…felt bad. Otoya didn't understand why. As far as she remembered, she never felt bad for anyone. She never felt regret for what she had done in the past, she never felt remorse for all the people she had cruelly killed. Then, why did she feel bad for Shiena? This strange feeling of pity she had felt when she saw the brunette cowered against the wall, injured and crying, this feeling was disturbing the serial killer.

Otoya couldn't feel sexual pleasure, or any kind of genuine pleasure, without killing. It was even better when she slowly and painfully killed her prey. She usually chose to kill beautiful women, those she considered to be "ladies with a pretty face". According to her, what's pretty should die when they are still pretty. It's like flowers. There could be cut after they bloomed, otherwise there would fade and loose they prettiness.

She remembered an incident that happened during her time at Class Black, involving Shiena. She did planned to kill her, but changed her mind. Shiena wasn't really a "lady with a pretty face", despite the fact that she was kind of cute, she was something else. She was a girl with a pure heart, something that Otoya considered to be quite rare. At that time, the serial killer had decided to wait until Shiena grow up and became more her type, so she could kill her.

But now, she wasn't sure of what she wanted to do with the brunette. Even if Shiena grow up to become a lady with a pretty face, the idea of killing her wasn't really pleasant to Otoya.

The serial killer never considered the inner beauty to be a real thing until now. Maybe this kind of beauty could never fade, unlike the superficial beauty. It would mean that Shiena's pure heart, her inner beauty, could remain pretty forever. So, there wouldn't be no reason to kill her, because her true beauty would never fade.

Otoya understood what it meant. Killing people only brought her a transient pleasure, but maybe if she had Shiena by her side, she could reach a permanent pleasure, in other words, true happiness. Shiena was the only person she had felt pity for, for a certain extent. She was the only one who she could felt some kind of sexual attraction without the desire to kill. Otoya felt her heart racing when she understood the feeling she had for the brunette.

"I must…be in love with her." Otoya realised.

The serial killer felt confused by this feeling that was unknown to her.

"Can a monster like me...could really fall in love?"

She remembered what she had done to Shiena. There had no way the brunette could reciprocate her feelings after what she had done to her.

Otoya suddenly burst in a sinister laugh. Since when she cared about how others feel? Whether or not it was truly love, she didn't really care. The facts were, she liked Shiena's presence, it gave her pleasure, and it was all that should matter.

"Shiena-chan will be mine, whether she wants it or not."

After a long wait, somebody finally came inside the empty apartment. When she heard the door opened, Otoya hide the stolen glasses in her pocket, still holding her scissors. She then turned back to face the person who came in.

"You weren't good at playing hide and seek when you were kid don't you, Shiena-chan?"

The brunette remained quiet, her only reply was the pissed look on her face. Otoya always had find Shiena's angry expression really adorable.

"What a lovely expression. Did you come to play with me more?" Otoya asked cheerfully.

In response, Shiena pointed a revolver at her. At first the serial killer was surprised, but not particularly afraid. She knew that the brunette wasn't a real assassin, she was sure that she wouldn't shoot.

"It's a nice toy you have there, Shiena-chan. Are you sure you know how to use it?"

"I can, and I won't hesitate to shoot you!"

"Haha, without your glasses? I doubt so. So, how about you lower your weapon so we can talk?"

"Why would I want to talk with you, you psycho!?"

"Because…there's something I want to tell you." Otoya began to say, before taking a deep breath. "Shiena-chan, I think that…I'm in love with you."

The brunette slightly lowered her revolver. She seemed kind of freaked out by her confession.

"You…love me? You must be kidding me?! You're lying! I can't believe someone like you!" Shiena shouted.

"I'm not lying! If it isn't love, than what else could it be? To me, you're more valuable alive than dead. I have enough consideration for you to not kill you. Isn't a proof of love?"

"No, it's not, you're crazy! You assaulted me, what you did to me is unforgivable! You're not in love, you're just a sexual maniac."

"Ah come on, it wasn't that bad. The point is, I felt some kind of…pity, for you. I never felt that before, it means you must be special to me."

"Pity? You think that you acted like you had pity for me? Are you fucking kidding me Takechi?! You attacked me, you injured me, you humiliated me, you raped me…you toyed with my body without any consideration for my feelings. You acted like…a bully! But you're worse than a bully. You're a sadistic perverted sociopath, a monster!"

Shiena seemed really mad for a reason that Otoya couldn't understand. It kind of made the serial killer mad too.

"Don't acts like such a whinger! It's not like I tortured or brutally fucked you! I gave you what, five little cuts? And I fucked you gently, I'm pretty sure you came. Yes it was against your will, but you didn't seem to dislike it. You were so wet and moaning so loudly, I'm sure that in fact, you liked it, you naughty girl!" Otoya claimed.

Shiena became terribly flustered. The serial killer couldn't tell if she was angry or embarrassed. Otoya tried to approach from her, but the brunette suddenly shot. Fortunately for her, Shiena missed. The bullet barely scratched Otoya's arm. It was probably because she wasn't wearing her glasses, her vision must be terribly blurry.

"Shiena….chan?"

"Don't….don't come near me, you psycho!"

Otoya felt another emotion she wasn't use to. Sadness. Shiena was rejecting her, and it was painful. The serial killer didn't want to lose her. It was the first time she felt a real desire to be with someone without killing them. It was the first time she felt pleasure with someone killing them. She didn't want to lose her chance to achieve true happiness.

There is no way that she will let this flower that could bloom eternally got away from her.

Otoya suddenly rushed toward the brunette. With a terrified expression, Shiena tried to shoot her, but she missed each times. The serial killer finally reached her and disarmed her, before shoving her against the floor.

"Don't play with something you're not able to handle. I don't feel the need to hurt you, but I won't hesitate if you continue to resist me. So behave yourself and be obedient and everything is going to be fine…"

"No, let me go! Don't touch me, you…"

The serial killer didn't want to hear her protests. She leaned on Shiena and grabbed her chin, before forcing a kiss. It didn't last long. Otoya had to break the kiss when she felt a sharp pain in her tongue. Blood came out from her mouth and rolled on her chin. The brunette had bitten her.

"I don't care what you're going to do to me. It's still better than letting you toyed with my body again!" Shiena shouted, with some blood tainting her lips.

Otoya felt quite angry. How dare she refusing merciful offer? The brunette was gazing at her with disdain and with a defying glare. Otoya hated the look in her eyes. It only made her want to gouge one of them as a punishment for daring making her feel sad.

"You like it the hard way, huh? Well, you can't complain if it's hurt. You basically asked for it!"

Armed with her scissors, she raised them, Otoya was ready to strike…but she couldn't.

Despite her brave declaration, Shiena immediately looked terrified when the serial killer menaced her with her scissors. Tears had even begun to form in her eyes. Once again, Otoya felt this feeling of pity she had for Shiena.

"Why are you making me feel that way, Shiena-chan? I don't want to hurt you, I love you, why can't you get it…"

The serial killer dropped her scissors and approached her hands from the brunette's neck. If Shiena didn't want to obey, the solution was simple. She just had to keep her captive. She just had to force her love on her. After all, when Otoya wanted something, she took it by force, by all means possible. She grabbed Shiena's neck and proceeded to strangle her.

"Ta…Takech…chi…don't…please don't do…that…" the brunette barely was able to say.

"I'm sorry, Shiena-chan, but you don't leave me the choice. I just need you to fall unconscious, and I'll take care of everything. I swear that I'll make you enjoy your new condition…"

While she was still strangling her, Otoya felt a sharp pain in her back. She immediately released Shiena and uttered a cry of pain.

The brunette had stabbed her with her own scissors. She then pushed her away and rose up. Otoya also stood up, with some difficulties due to her recent injury.

"Shiena-chan…why? Why are you making this so difficult? Even though I love you…"

Still armed with the scissors, the brunette retrieved her revolver too and aimed at her.

"Takechi…you're nuts. Let me tell you this. I hate you. There's no way that I could love someone like you."

Otoya had the impression that Shiena just stabbed her in the heart. What she said caused her so much pain. The serial killer suddenly felt something wet rolling on her cheeks. Was she crying? She wasn't sure. She didn't even remember the last time she had cried.

Shiena suddenly gazed at her with an uncertain look. Otoya became blind by fury. She ran toward the brunette, ready to beat the shit out of her. Shiena threw the scissors at her and the serial killer dodged it. She then tried to take the revolver and they both fight for it.

The trigger was suddenly pulled. No one was touched by the bullet, but the sudden and loud noise destabilised Otoya. Shiena took advantage of it to suddenly push her against the window.

The impact broke the window's glass. Otoya couldn't catch herself faster enough, and she ended up falling from the window.

Moral of this story: Don't bring scissors to a gun fight...or a gun to a scissors fight (and don't run with scissors kids!).

Before writing this remake, I reread all The bully and the bullied. There had a lot of things that I dislike from it (other than the terrible english). Shiena and Otoya's reunion was probably what bothered me the most. I had wrote this story when I didn't really ship them, so I didn't understand fully their relationship. This is mainly why I decided to do this remake. I don't plan to rewrite the entire story (because it's 69 chapters long), just the beginning, maybe adding some shipping moments and probably smut, and the ending.

And it's also a gift for those who followed the original story 2-3 years ago, to thanks them for their support! Thank you again! ^^
