Naota sprinted through the deserted streets of Mabase city towards the river. If his hunch was correct, Mamimi would be down there, no doubt playing that weird video game of hers. It was only a hunch though. After the defeat of Medical Mechanica and the unleashing of Atomsk, Mamimi had disappeared. All Naota remembered was that she had told him that she wanted to become a photographer. After that she had vanished.

"She had better be down there. I'll go to the ends of the earth to find her if I have to." Naota thought. He had to find her. He just had to. He wouldn't be satisfied until he found her and gave her what was coming to her.

As Naota rounded the corner and faced the river, he was expecting his hunch to be wrong. Mamimi would not be there, and he would have to search for her.

But his efforts were not in vain. There was Mamimi, red hair and all.

Naota breathed a sigh of relief. So his hunch was right. Mamimi was still here, even after two long years. Thank Kami. Now she was his.

Mamimi looked a little bit different from last time. Her hair which had once been shoulder length, now flowed down to the middle of her back. Her body had once been a normal build, but now she looked very thin. Not gaunt, nowhere near that, but still very thin. And her eyes which had once been dull and lusterless, almost stupid looking, now sparkled with life and what almost looked like happiness. And instead of a blue school uniform, she wore jeans and a sweater. But it was still the same Mamimi. Same hair, same eye color, same height.

Mamimi turned to Naota and when she saw him, her eyes grew saddened. But why would she be sad? He hadn't even done anything to her! Not yet at any rate.

"Mamimi…" Naota almost whispered. "Long time no see."

Mamimi sighed. "Hey Naota." she said. "Same to you."

"Whatever happened to calling me takkun?" Naota thought.

Before Naota could say anything else, Mamimi spoke. "I saw you Naota. I saw what you did." she muttered.

Naota's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?" he asked, trying to sound innocent.

Mamimi looked at the ground. "I saw you at your home Naota. I looked in the window and saw what you did to your parents." Naota looked at her more closely and saw that for the first time, there were tears in her eyes. "Why Naota? Why would you do such a thing?"

Naota studied his feet. "I can explain. It's because-"

"-because of Haru-san." Mamimi finished for him. "You did it because you couldn't have her. She left, you grew angry at the world, and you lashed out at the very thing that gave you life." Tears dripped down Mamimi's face. "You slaughtered them Naota. You slaughtered them like animals."

"Mamimi I-"

"I know what you're here for Naota." Mamimi wept. "You're here to do away with me. Well don't torture me by making me wait. Just do what you came to do."

Naota set down his guitar and began to walk towards Mamimi. "Fine then, if that's what you want, then that's what you'll get." Naota whispered.

He walked up to Mamimi and stood there, looking at her for a moment.

And then it began.

Naota seized Mamimi's arms and shoved her violently to the ground. Mamimi didn't even bother to fight back. Naota began to go back to get the guitar, but then he decided that he would do something a little different. He went back to Mamimi and placed his foot on her stomach to ensure she couldn't get away.

He began unzipping his pants.

Mamimi's eyes widened in horror. "Naota no! Please, if you're going to kill me just kill me!" she begged.

"Shut up." Naota growled, stripping off his pants and underwear. "You told me to get this over with."

Naota fell upon Mamimi and began to unzip her jeans. This time Mamimi began to struggle, kicking her legs and scratching at Naota. Just as Naota began to strip her, Mamimi clawed his cheeks open with her nails. Naota snarled and punched Mamimi in the throat. She gagged and clutched at her throat, trying to gain her wind back. Naota saw his opportunity and yanked the girl's jeans down. Naota felt himself erect as he got a look at Mamimi's white silk panties. Her thighs were so slender, so beautiful, in the moonlight. The way the panties wrapped around her groin and thighs made him erect further.

Wait. He had come here to kill Mamimi for the same reason he had killed his father and grandfather: she had made his life intolerable. But she had been the worst of the three. She had clung to him like a child with separation anxiety, making out with him behind his parents back, calling him a strange name, even annoying him by thinking a robot was a god. She had been the worst of the three, so Naota decided he would have to do much more then what he had originally planned.

As Mamimi tried to get her wind back, Naota grabbed her by her head and brought her up to his face. Mamimi struggled, but Naota forced her into a kiss. Mamimi flailed her arms, trying to break free but to no avail. Naota slobbered over her like a dog over a bone. Naota had never realized it, but he did now: he had always wanted Mamimi. She had always been beautiful to him in the back of his mind. Not as beautiful as Haruko, but beautiful nonetheless.

"Mamimi," Naota crooned, yanking her away from him by the hair, "I'm sorry it has to be this way. You know I think a part of me still likes you. I'm just getting started with you now." Naota leaned forward and began nibbling at her neck.

"Naota please stop!" Mamimi begged. "Please stop, I can't take anymore!"

Naota glared at the red headed girl. "Be quiet. Isn't this what you always wanted? All those times we made out down by the river. This is what you secretly wanted, isn't it? And now you don't want it anymore? Make up your damn mind!" Naota reared back and slapped Mamimi across the face. A bright red handprint appeared on the side of her cheek.

Naota wasn't finished yet. He grabbed Mamimi's left breast and squeezed as hard as he could. Mamimi bit her tongue to keep from crying out. Naota let go and smiled cruelly at her.

"What's wrong Mamimi? You touched me on numerous occasions so now I'm doing the same to you!" Naota grabbed both of Mamimi's breasts and squeezed them with all his might. This time Mamimi cried out. Naota grabbed her around the neck and began to squeeze. Mamimi reached up to push him away, but she was running out of oxygen fast and could not last much longer. All the while Naota was smiling. It was ecstasy, doing this.

Just as Mamimi was about to pass out, Naota let go. Mamimi immediately gasped and began to take in great big gulps of air. Naota knew it was almost time for the big finish. He grabbed Mamimi up by her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

"You made my life terrible you little bitch." Naota whispered. "I'm not hurting you. All I'm doing is repaying the favor." Then he smiled. "I doubt your parents would have been very pleased if they knew you were making out with a grade school kid. Didn't they raise you well?" he snarled. "I'm going to do something to you which apparently your parents did not."

Naota turned Mamimi over stomach down and sat on her back. He pulled down the back of her panties, exposing her slender butt. Naota reached over and seized a long stick. He raised it and brought it down. The stick spat upon Mamimi's buttocks, leaving a red stripe. Naota raised it again and brought it down again. Another stripe appeared. Naota kept whipping Mamimi over and over again until her buttocks had turned dark red. Much to his surprise, Mamimi only gave an occasional yelp throughout the whipping. Naota had to admit, she had some backbone.

When he was done, Naota turned Mamimi over and pulled her panties down to her ankles. Mamimi was moaning. Time to finish this. Naota stood above her, naked from the waist down. He spread the delirious girl's legs apart and reached in between them. He felt himself beginning to build up. Quickly he leaned down and thrust into Mamimi. Mamimi did not even yelp. She simply grew completely silent.

Naota leaned over and kissed Mamimi again. "Sorry Mamimi. This is the way it goes." He went back and took his guitar. He walked back to Mamimi, raised the guitar up, and brought down in the center of her face. There was a huge splash of red as her face burst open. Mamimi's body tensed up, and then went limp. It was over. At last it was over.

Naota stood over Mamimi, looking down at her body. It was kind of sad, the way she looked. Just laying there on the ground, her panties around her ankles, and her arms and legs splayed out. It was just pathetic.

"You're the only one I'll miss Mamimi." Naota said. "Even though I hated you, you were nice. I'll see you when I get to hell."

"Takkun…" said a voice from behind.

Naota froze. Could it be? It sure sounded like it. Naota turned around and his eyes widened.

"Haruko!" he exclaimed.

To be continued….

No hints about the final chapter. Sorry if this chapter was so brutal, but that's the way it goes. See you next time!
