(Again this is Darkened Loner's dear friend uploading his story. He still doesn't have Internet accident unfortunately so, yeah.)
Alright, alright! I'll write the damn chapter for you readers! ARGH! Most of you threatened me and personally I rather die! I should've twisted the story a bit because how all you readers are getting ideas! And I sometimes wonder what you people are thinking….
Chapter 7
Takuya and Tomoki kept trying to break down the door. "You can't stay in there forever!" screamed Takuya. "We know you're the killer, and besides, there's nowhere else to hide!"
With a last kick, the door flung open. Both of them barged in, hoping to discover Izumi sulking in a corner. Instead, no one was there and the window as opened.
"She's not in here!" exclaimed Tomoki feeling a bit shocked. "Do you think she could've jumped out the window?"
Takuya peered down the window and explained, "This is a possibility, but I don't think so. If anyone jumped off the ledge, the person will probably result in an injury. No way can that preppy girl not have a sprained ankle."
Tomoki nodded. "I guess you're right. Let's tell Kouichi and Kouji that Izumi escaped."
"Ok, sure, kiddo." Takuya spied the diary on the floor. "Right now, go without me. I'll be coming after you."
Tomoki listened to his command and ran out the room. Takuya reached for the book and flipped through the pages. His eyes widened and stared in horror.
"It was him all along! But…why? That bastard lied to us all!" Takuya was furious and tried looking for answers. "Damn it! I accused the wrong person! Where is she?"
~Somewhere in someplace~ (Yeah that's right! It's somewhere and I'm not telling!)
Izumi woke up feeling a bit drowsy. "Wha-, where am I?" She couldn't move because her arms are tied behind her back. The location was dark; she couldn't identify where she was.
The place was filled with hay and no light seeped through the cracks on the wall. She was locked somewhere. She peered behind the bars and it resembled somewhat like a maze.
Izumi started to panic. Sweat and heat covered her forehead. What was going to happen now? She must escape, but where to? She doesn't even know where the hell she is located. Is she still inside the house? Someplace else? But where!?
She rummaged around for a sharp object to incise the rope. Suddenly she felt fear and chills creep over her spine. A shadow swayed in the dark corner. Izumi stayed quiet, only hearing her heart eating. BUMP, BUMP. BUMP, BUMP. BUMP, BUMP. BUMP, BUMP.
The feeling was intense. Slowly the creature crept over to Izumi. Izumi glared at it, expecting to see the murderer. But as its feature was in the dim light, his face was unfamiliar. Izumi had never seen him before. Who was he? Why was he here?
His red hair shimmered. A sly grin spread across his face. "How do you do, my lady?" He smiled.
Confusion arose into her thoughts. She had never seen him before, not in real life anyways. His face…. There were photos of him. Izumi stared at him. "You're one of those people who used to live here!"
"Correct, my darling. And you thought that fool killed your pathetic friends."
She suddenly remembered. "Kouichi! Where is Kouichi?"
The spirit was shaping his hair. He gave her a sad look. "I'm afraid of this, Kouichi, is dead."
Izumi stared at him in horror. "How? How did he die? Why? You did this to him, you bastard! You murdered him, like you would do to all of us!" She burst into tears.
"Now. Now." Said the spirit. "I wouldn't dare harm you. As a matter of fat, I love you. It's the others I despise. I killed Kouichi so I can restore my soul into his body. My shape is enhancing. Soon we'll be together again…."
He looked at her. His lips drawing closer to hers. They almost touched, when- SMACK! Izumi kicked the ghost away. "Fine." He glared. "See you later. I'll tell the others you have escaped, as I resume that gentleman's body again."
He locked the door and walked away. With tears still streaming down her eyes, she was helpless. She couldn't do anything. She couldn't fight back. Alone she wept in the dark. But then she got herself questioning again when Takuya, Tomoki, and Kouichi ran after her, trying to kick the door down, it was locked. How could Kouichi have dazed her with the medication? She thought hard. And where is Kouji?
~Dining Room~
Kouichi stepped into the dining room and noticed Takuya staring out the window and Tomoki looking worried.
"I have some news." Kouichi declared. "Izumi has escaped." Takuya looked at him. "Oh, man. And I was so eager to catch her and beat the crap out of her. Tomoki, go into the kitchen and pour us some tea."
The kid quietly exited the room to fetch the tea. Takuya stared at him again. "So, your positive Izumi's the killer?"
"Kouichi shrugged. "Guess so."
Takuya's eyes focused on him. 'I have a very weird feeling it's someone else who set it up."
Kouichi gulped. "Who do you suspect?"
"Don't know. Could be you, could be Tomoki. Oh, and where the hell is Kouji?" responded Takuya.
Kouichi's eyes narrowed. "You think it's me…."
"Hey, why not? Everyone here is a suspect. Besides, I got the evidence." Takuya threw the diary at him. "Looks familiar?"
Kouichi gulped. "Where the hell did you get that?" His voice remained soothe and calm.
"Oh, Kouichi. Stop denying it. We already know it's you. SO give up the act." Takuya screamed.
Kouichi shook his head. 'Sorry, but I can never do that." He tackled Takuya and both fell backwards. Kouichi punched Takuya on the nose. Blood streamed down to his shirt. Takuya kicked the twin. Kouichi fell backwards, but steadily rose to his feet. Takuya got up, too. He ran to the window curtains and tugged at it. He planned on typing Kouichi and stop him from his evil doings.
Takuya ran towards him, but Kouichi thrashed him hard on the floor. Then he seized the curtain from Takuya and began strangling him. Takuya squirmed and wiggled, trying to loosen the killer's grip.
The more Takuya tried prying off the curtains, the more Kouichi pulled tighter. Takuya couldn't breathe, his face turning purple, and his eyes bulging out. He stopped moving.
Kouichi let go of the curtains and spat on him. He was making his way out the dining room when he realized Tomoki was standing there, holding a glass tray of tea. Tomoki stood dead white.
Kouichi looked at him. "You know too much." Tomoki dropped the tray and made his escape. "Kouji! Izumi! Help me!" He cried. Kouichi ran after him. Kouichi picked up the trap and was trailing behind the kid.
Tomoki tripped over the carpet and rolled onto the floor. Kouichi grabbed him by the collar and smashed the glass on his head. CRASH!
Glass and blood splattered everywhere. Tomoki lay on the floor still, not breathing either. Kouichi cackled and laughed.
Well, here is the chapter you readers had requested for. Well, so now you know who the evil killer behind it all is, I think it was sort of obvious, don't you think, dude? Oh well. Go read chapter 8.
(Ah yes, only a few more chapters to go.)
