Chapter 11 – Ryuu possessed…
Hayato's POV – 5-34
"Tell me" Kyu demanded of the robed girl "D-did you kill him?" he moved towards her and stooped beside her "Who did this?"
Tears flowed freely out of her already bloodshot eyes, "I don't know" she cried "please I don't know anything" she rocked back and forth, still shaking…
Kyu swallowed hard "Please tell me" it wasn't hard to figure out that he was too fighting back the tears that were trying to force their way out his eyes "TELL ME" His voice grew harder and yet he was still trying to breathe…
"Kyu, I don't think she-" I started but he interrupted me.
"Tell me now or I'll drag you to the police myself" Kyu growled grabbing her hand. Reacting to this the girl started to cry hysterically…
"I-I'm telling you I don't k-know" she looked from Meg to me, her eyes begged us to save her "Wh-why won't you be-lieve me"
Despite her distressing cries, Kyu's expression was still hard…
"H-he was l-like thi-this, I don't k-know…"
"YOU LIAR" He yelled snapping completely "YOU KILLED HIM MURDE-"
"KYU" Both Meg and I yelled grabbing him, trying to stop him from physically attacking the girl, as usual Kyu was the one who was most emotionally attached to the case, though in this case I could understand why he was so angry… it was hard even imagining it… Yukito, smiling and joking this morning, it was hard to imaging his dead body on the floor, right next to us… it was hard to imagine him as dead when he was clearly so full of life a few hours ago…
"Kyu, get out of here" Meg screamed putting a protective arm around the girl "Hayato, take him away"
"Come on Kyu" I spoke to him softly "let's get out of here"
In the hallway we waited, until the police arrived… Kyu stared blankly into space… he wouldn't look at the body being taken away… he's in shock I realized. Kyu was the type who felt responsible for other people's emotions… was stupid enough to believe he could stop fate or something… not that he doesn't tries…
I sighed, then I started dragging him towards the nurse's office… cursing fate and Kyu for being stupid…
Yuki's POV – 5.36
"Ryuu" I yelled spotting him under the huge oak "Thank god I found you" I panted, stopping a few feet away from him.
He turned around to face me "What is it?"
"This" I handed him the printout…
Email To: yuki17sakurako
Cc: amakusa69 megumiminami kaurohighschool, darkhayato Kyu007 kuniko touya proposition…
If you're as great as you think…solve this riddle…
The 3rd victim's space
In that blooded place
It is what u search…?
Across that lies
More new victims…
"Who sent this?" Ryuu demanded studying the paper again.
"I don't know genius, but I think the killer's on to us" I told him carefully, the boy looked clearly disturbed.
"The killer knows who we are huh?"
"It's getting difficult again" I muttered looking over to see if he was, in anyway, disturbed by my sentence.
"No" He replied smiling mysteriously "this makes things more interesting"
"What do you suppose the riddle means?" I asked him after a while
"Either someone's going to die again or she's trying to lure us to a clue"
"In the third victim's space… so it's going to happen in the place Amika died"
"Exactly" he smiled at me, I never seen such anticipation for a murder. On a slightly different note, Ryuu was weird.
"Let's go then" I turned away from his steely eyes. For some reason Sayuri's warning echoed in my mind, 'stay away from that boy…'
I glanced at his eyes again, they gleamed hauntingly.
Yeah definitely weird…
Ryuu's POV –5.54
We'd just reached the third floor when we ran into Meg and Hayato coming from the direction of the nurse's office…
"What's up?" both of them exclaimed simultaneously, following us.
"This" Yuki gave them the printout of the e-mail…
"What does this mean?" Meg asked breathlessly handing the paper to Hayato.
"The killer is calling us out" I said casually "I wonder what kind of proposition she's going to give us"
"I don't get the last part" Hayato prompted "there's going to be more victims?"
"But –" Meg started but got interrupted when I opened the door to the girl's bathroom.
Blood! A huge puddle of it was right in the middle of the bathroom, the room looked otherwise unaffected though, only the blood was …odd.
"That's the spot Amika died, right?" Meg said faintly.
I nodded but it was strange, the blood looked darker then human blood, much darker. I walked over and dipped my fingers in it. Lifted my hand and smelled it…
Animal blood… but why?
That's when I caught sight of something metallic under the stall, right next to me. I carefully took out my handkerchief, wrapped it around the thing and pulled it out…
"Ryuu" Yuki cried in shock.
"Its okay" I held out the knife to her "check for prints, this there might be some fingerprints of the killer on it"
"Oh" She and Hayato took out their DDS notebooks and started checking for fingerprints. Meg stood at the doorway, scanning the room, memorizing it.
After a few minutes the analysis was complete…
"There are a couple of prints here" Hayato said holding out the ultra-violet torch "There are four prints; we've extracted the copies, now the only thing we have to do is send these to Kazuma" He handed the knife back to me.
I stared at the knife, it was too clean… too shiny… somehow too new… but why? I didn't believe the fingerprints were the killer's but that's just me. I wanted things that way. A mystery isn't even slightly intriguing if the clues were so transparent. I yearned for the ultimate challenge… I thought this was it. The mystery started so unusually, with too many leads and whenever we narrowed it down, the lead proved useless, as the suspects themselves were turning it to the victims. A detective's ultimate challenge... Hate to admit it but even I was starting get sick of it... the killer was very… talented, she was playing with us, sometimes vague… and sometimes too obvious…
"It's too obvious" my hand gripped the knife handle tightly.
Everyone turned towards me solemnly. I turned away from the intensity of their gazes… they all wanted me to give the answers but I was in the dark just like them. And it was frustrating…
There was a silence; it was a long one… I stared out the window, willing myself to figure it all out
Flash!
What was that?
Someone, a girl maybe, was standing in the shade of the huge Oak; the tree we were standing before… he held up something and…
FLASH…
Meg's POV -6.00
My mind was a mess…
I still had to tell the others about Yukito but I couldn't bring myself to think clearly... I knew I was still crying inside. we're supposed to be detectives… but then his face would flash in my mind. I'd see his dead eyes and be reminded of the boy who was alive this morning…how he was smiling, the way his smile showed off a hidden dimple. How his eyes showed so much life and laughter this morning, it was unfair how cold and doll-like they were now…
My mind was still reeling from the last incident and a new one was upon us… the email talked of another victim but when we'd arrived there was no one here, just blood… and a knife…it just didn't add up the knife was clean…
I stared at Yuki and Hayato arguing the outcome of the case… Ryuu was standing at the window, lost in thought…
I stared at him for a moment… I turned away before he could sense my eyes on him… the case was too… messed up… no one knew what to think. And the Killer seemed to be playing with us…
I sighed closing my eyes for a moment…
Step…step… someone moved past me, my eyes opened suddenly to see Ryuu, his eyes cold and unfocused, lunge at Yuki and Hayato… holding the knife…
"Look out!" I screamed automatically.
Yuki turned, just when she was an inch from him and somehow managed to push Hayato away…
"Arrrghhh" Yuki fell to the floor; I saw that her shoulder was slashed by the blade. Hayato kneeled next to her trying to control the bleeding, both of them oblivious to the psycho Ryuu who had plunged the knife into the wall and was scrabbling to free it.
"I'm going to stop him" Yuki declared standing up in spite of the blood… she took the defensive stance though she was flinching at the pain
"No!" Hayato screamed at her, she tried to argue with him just when Ryuu freed the knife, and kicked out at them…
"RYUU STOP IT" I yelled at him but he didn't give any indication that he'd heard my cries… I felt a cold hand clutching my heart… what's happening?
His kick caught Hayato on his chest and he went sprawling into Yuki, both of them collapsed onto the floor helpless.
Ryuu stood over them, the knife rose…the coldness in his eye didn't go away…
Frantically I searched for something to throw at him anything to distract him from the others, I grabbed the nearest thing I could find and hurled it at him…
It worked, but before I could even react I found myself with my back to the wall, staring helplessly at him…
"R- Ryuu, please stop this, you don't know what you're doing…" I cried but my words fell on deaf ears, he wasn't listening… he wasn't even looking at me… I never even imagined it… I never imagined Ryuu ever harming anyone let alone me…
Ryuu came closer, the blooded knife raised, I could almost touched him if I reached out… my heart pounded madly; I stared at him helplessly, now unable to even scream out for help, I knew I was going to die but I couldn't even do anything, my mind screamed at him to stop but yet somehow neither my body nor my voice would do anything…
A shadow fell across my face, the knife dropped towards my neck, I closed my eyes, waiting for that moment, and inattentively I heard someone scream the same second…
WHAM!
