Chapter 14- Why?
Ripples of whispers passed through the gym.
'Sempai…!'
'Mitsui…!'
'What the hell?!!'
'Mitchy!'
The centipede stood right in front of Mitsui, towering over him. Mitsui, his hands spread wide open as if to protect the contents of the gym, gulped at the sight of the hairy legs in front of him.
So… damn… BIG!!
Now that he was confronting the giant centipede, it looked more terrifying than ever and Mitsui could feel its scorn. By just standing there it was mocking them all.
The silver eye of the moon stared down, mockingly too, at all the poor occupants in the gym who were lost and terrified…
Mitsui shivered.
'It's not scared. It's not at all worried by Mitsui's determination, though it was unexpected, the thing does not give a damn. It's just shock… that's all,' Rukawa mumbled unintelligibly. His words did not travel that far, but it did more than enough damage to those within ear-shot.
Ayako started sobbing. Several others had tears streaming down their face too. But whether it was fear for Mitsui or the feeling of total and utter helplessness that made them cry, Rukawa had no idea, and did not, at the moment, care at all.
'Mitsui…! Baka--,' Akagi muttered softly. Hasegawa, on the other hand, just stared at the, to him, 'the boy who had abandoned basketball'… and 'who had no right at all to be in a basketball court', in shock.
Lightning pulsed in the skies above, dizzying them with its sudden appearance and disappearance.
'You need help?' a mockingly evil voice pierced through the rumbling thunder, and all the sobs and whisperings. Sakuragi felt a spark of anger at its words. He hated it when someone made fun of him, his army or gundam, as they called themselves…
And that included his team.
Mitsui, on the other hand, determined not to show his fear, put on a cool façade. However, his trembling voice betrayed him.
'What do you want from us? Why on Earth do you want to kill us? What is it to you?' There was quite a long pause, before he received the answer, which shook him mentally.
'Apologies!' it screamed back. 'That's what we want from you!'
His tone became more of shock. 'Apologies? What have we ever done to you?' As far as he was concerned, he had not done anything wrong…at least, not anything that was earth-shaking to them…
Insects?? What the hell are they in the first place? They might not even be insects, and how exactly am I suppose to know what I have done to them?
'All the basketballs in the world… they must have been enough to kill millions of insects every year,' This statement was dripping with sarcasm and followed by a laughter so malicious and evil, that even Sendo and Jin cringed a little.
'TEME!!! You….' Sakuragi started off, eyes flashing angrily, as he took steps towards the centipede. However, Miyagi stopped him in his mid-strides.
'Let me go, shorty!! Let me GO!' Sakuragi thrashed against Ryota's firm grip. 'That baka had just INSULTED us. Let me GO!!' Ryota, however, held on tightly, not yielding.
'What can you do?' he asked softly, making Sakuragi pause at the tone of his voice.
Near them, another teenager was also losing his temper. Rukawa straightened up to his full height, as if picking a fight.
'Oi.' He called out roughly. Fujima quickly put a hand onto his arm, trying his best to cool Rukawa down, something that was almost utterly useless.
More laughter from the centipede, who was obviously amused at the two Shohoku freshmen.
Mitsui, feeling insulted, looked up, for the first time, intending to challenge it… and gulped once more. The mere sight of the centipede nearly sent him cowering. It did manage to send a quiver of fear though him, knotting his muscles together, but he kept his gaze fixed on it, swallowing nervously every other second.
'Seriously,' he started off in a perfectly conversational tone, hiding his fear and terror, 'What the hell do you want from us?'
All he got back was a malevolent, guttural giggle, which on second thought, couldn't be classified as a giggle at all.
'Come ON!' Mitsui said, impatience biting into his voice. The giggling stopped at once, and in a serious voice,
'Bow down on you knees and beg, and I'll think about it.'
'Sempai…' Sasaoka muttered, he himself getting angry.
'Damn it!!' Kiyota said aloud, his brows knitting in fury. 'What the hell does he think we are?!'
Just because we're in its grip. It's toying around with out feelings, terror… and pride. Maki swore in his heart.
The centipede reared its unsightly head and surveyed the gym.
'Do'aho.' Rukawa muttered, his anger blurring his words.
'I take it that you egoistic thrash don't want to know?'
'TEME!!!" Sakuragi screamed, feeling Ryota's grip on him tighten.
'WHAT DID YOU SAY??!!!' Kiyota too, was on the verge of running to it. Akagi, feeling that he should do something too, held him back, with hands that were trembling in anger.
Rukawa's eyes flashed, as he took a step towards it, feeling Jin's hand suddenly landing on him too, trying his best to stop him.
'I'll get you for this!' Koshino spluttered out.
'Urusei, minna!' Mitsui's voice was calm and the pitch of his voice itself shut them all up.
'Mitchy…'
'Urusei, baka saru!' Mitsui muttered.
He got onto his knees, and bowing down, he begged.
'Onegai, we want to know why on Earth do you want to kill us.'
'Mitsui…' Ryota, out of shock had let Sakuragi go. The rest too, were staring at him in total shock.
An evil cackle rang through the gym. All of them, feeling anger rise uncontrollably, turned to… it. All, that is, except for a calm Mitsui, and a Sendo, who was curious… not about the thing, not about Mitsui's action, but his calm composure. Sendo felt that he had something up on his sleeve, and was on his guard.
The centipede's body was vibrating, as if it was laughing at them uncontrollably.
'Oh, my… you guys are more stupid than I ever thought you were…' it managed between splutters of laughter. 'Nothing! Why on Earth do I need a reason to want to kill you?'
With lightning speed, it struck. The move was so sudden that all of them could do nothing but watch and scream.
'Sempai!' Ayako's voice pierced the gym, and it was soon joined by other screams, calling Mitsui's name. Sendo took a deep breath, trying not to panic.
'The one who's stupid is you.'
The whole gym turned ghostly quiet.
Lightning burst forth, sending blinding light into the gym. And Sendo felt a small flash of understanding descending.
A/N: Poor Mitusi-ne? wait, he hasn't actually dies yet, not to worry… so, how do you find this chapter? Do review and tell me k?
