The Beginning of the End
By: Ponytail Goddess
Chapter 4: Playing Dirty
Shin's blood was now running cold. The head chef was dead, hanging from the lamp. How could something like this happen right under his nose? How safe was Kaioshin-kai? How did the murderer get here, or does the murderer live here himself?
A few other cooks were now looking at the scene. There were a lot of gasps and one thump as one of the passing by maids passed out at the sight.
Shin looked at them all. Their eyes were wide and scared, he could see it in their facial expressions. "Y-you all.........are dismissed for the day." He managed to stammer out. "Leave now."
The teary-eyed people slowly walked out the door and exited to go to their quarters. He watched them go, then turned his attention back to the dead man.
It was horribly gross. His final excretion laid on the table along with some shed blood from his neck where the rope had burnt through his skin. It was obvious that there had been a struggle of some sort. His face was bruised and was colored an odd, undeterminable color.
*Oh dear universe........*
"What's going on in-", Rou Dai Kaioshin demanded as he stormed into the room, "h-here........."
His voice ran out when he saw it too. The current Dai Kaioshin paid no mind to him though. He couldn't seem to take his eyes off this horrible work of hatred right in his very own palace.
*How did they do it without getting caught?*
That was a very good question. There were people on duty every hour of the day on the first three floors. Why hadn't this been noticed until now?
*Maybe there are more people behind this than I had figured*
"Do you know who did this?" Questioned Rou Dai Kaioshin, who was now standing right beside the Dai Kaioshin. He still looked very shocked in the face.
"I don't know", he muttered back, rubbing his eyes. This was not how he had wanted to start his morning.
*Oh great, who's going to tell Treasure about this?*
This would be a shock to the young girl. She liked to talk to all the workers in the palace and easily became friends with them all. She would probably take this harshly.
*Well, I don't want her to hear it from the other workers either. I'll have to tell her later tonight.*
"I'll go and get some people to cut him down and bring him to the examiner." Rou Dai Kaioshin said, slowly turning away from the horrible seen. His footsteps could be heard as he walked out of the room. When he left all was silent.
He stared at the hanging corpse. "I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything to save you", he murmured to the dead body, as if it could comprehend what he had said and tell him that he was forgiven.
Kaioshin really did feel horrible. He hadn't known that anything was going on. He hadn't been able to even try and prevent this horrible thing from happening. He felt helpless, and that was the one feeling that he despised the most.
"I'm sorry", he repeated again, whispering it.
He wondered what he'd say to his family about this. The chef did have a large family that all lived right here in his own castle.
However, his thoughts were cut short when he heard a high-pitched scream come from up stairs and echo throughout the entire castle. His eyes widened.
Treasure.
He started running towards the stairs when he was tackled by a running blur. His daughter, thank the universe.
"Are you ok?" He asked quickly, pulling her away from him as best as he could to check for any sort of injury. She appeared to not be hurt physically, but tears poured down her face in large amounts.
"P-papa-san! Is it t-t-true? Is the head chef dead?" She managed to stutter out while he held her close.
*Huh?*
He looked at Kibito. 'Did you tell her?' he mouthed to his large red bodyguard. Kibito's eyes were large. He quickly shook his head no.
This stumped the Dai Kaioshin. *If Kibito didn't tell her, then how did she find out?*
"Sir", Kibito said quietly, "There's something you need to see sir. It's important."
He looked very serious about it. Not about to doubt his personal bodyguard and friend, he gently picked up the weeping girl and stood up. He motioned for Kibito to lead the way.
They went off. Shin tried to make the girl calm down a bit as they went. He rubbed her back and tried to tell her that it would be all right, though it didn't seem to be helping very much.
They went up two staircases and arrived on the third floor. They started to walk down the well-lighted hall.
*What did this to my daughter? If I find out who is responsible for all of this........* Shin gritted his teeth with this thought. They had no right to scare his young child like this. It was horrible!
They soon arrived at Treasure's playroom. *What are we doing here?*
"Kibito, is this some kind of sick joke?"
"No sir."
Treasure took one look at the room, then buried her face back into her father's chest. He could feel her crying harder now, shaking violently in his arms. He gripped her a bit tighter so that he would not drop her.
"Look in the dollhouse sir. First floor. The dinning hall, sir." Kibito stated in a somewhat composed manner.
Reluctantly, Shin slowly approached the house, afraid that he was going to see what he thought he was going to see inside.
When he was about a foot away from it, he gently got to his knees and bent down to see what was in the window of the dinning hall.
There it was. The same scene he had walked in on today. The chef hanging from the lamp by a tiny doll-sized rope.
"Who.......who did this?" He wondered out loud, in total shock. The killer had been in his daughter's playroom as well, which was right across from her bedroom. What if.........
Anger overcame him now. "Dirty bastard! Whoever did this is sick!!! How dare they mess with my child!!!! THEY DON'T KNOW JUST WHO THEY'RE MESSING WITH!!!!!!"
*~*~*~*~*
She smiled as she watched the Dai Kaioshin freak out on her little screen.
"Oh, on the contrary. I know exactly who I'm dealing with. And you are much to easy of a project for me."
This was followed by an evil cackle. "SOON THE UNIVERSE WILL BE MINE!!!!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well, did you like it? Please review. Thanks. Well, we're now starting to get involved in the plot? What does this evil thing have in store for the Dai Kaioshin? To find out, keep reading The Beginning of the End!!!
