It had felt like a long time since she encountered the monster but there was no way she was ready to move. Yuka remained under the desk curled up attempting to find the strength to leave this room. She wondered if she even stood a chance out there...she could end up just like the person she saw, nothing more mass of insides. She could die.
*Creak*
"Ah" Yuka let out a whimper but quickly covered her mouth. Someone was in here, surely if it was the monster it would have made a lot more noise though...it couldn't be him. There was suddenly light as a bright beam began swinging around the room - 'a flashlight'? She thought, her breathing becoming more frayed.
..."Hey! Is someone there?!" A females voice echoed throughout the room, her tone sounded firm and serious but there was a small croak that indicated... she was scared.
Yuka couldn't hold back her heavy breathing any longer, she wasn't sure she recognized the voice but it sounded like a person not a monster. She had to take her chances. "Yes...I'm sorry if I scared you...I was hiding from the man with the hammer."
The girls swung her torch toward the sound, 'It's...just a kid' she thought to herself. She was relieved but also sad, it was disheartening to see someone so young in here. "It's okay, I didn't mean to scare you either...I saw him too, must've been pretty scary for you."
Yuka nodded her eyes straining to adjust to the new light source.
The girl noticed and moved the torch to the side a little. "You're not hurt are you? How come you're alone?"
"No, I'm okay...I'm looking for my big brother we got separated when we got here..."
"I'm looking for people too, my friends, come on how about we search together?" It's not like she could leave her alone like this.
Yuka thought about and nodded anything was better than being alone and this girl seemed nice.
"Come on out of this room then, we'll introduce ourselves properly." The girl waited for Yuka to come out from underneath the desk and shone the torch in front of her so they could both get to the door.
Yuka's eyes stung a little from being in the darkness so long, but once they had adjusted she could finally get a look at who she had been talking to. The girl was a highschooler clearly, her uniform was an ordinary white sailor outfit with a green collar, red bow and a green skirt. Her eyes were turquoise and she had brown hair tied into a ponytail with a white bow.
"I'm Tohko Kirisaki, I'm a student at Byakudan High." She said softly taking in the appearance of the very young looking girl. 'How many more people are trapped here?' She wondered bleakly.
"I'm Yuka Mochida, I'm from Kisaragi Academy Junior High." She said a little more cheerfully, being happy that she now had someone she could search for her big brother with.
"Well Yuka how about we go have a look for my friend's and your big brother?" Tohko couldn't deny that she was also happy not to be alone, she hadn't seen a single one of her friend's since she arrived. She could've sworn she heard Mitsuki but that was it. It's not like she could leave Yuka by herself anyway, In a place like this. She had seen the bodies and the monster and the spirits she knew how dangerous this place was.
Yuka smiled at Tohko, nodding again as they started walking.
"Did you do the charm as well?" Tohko looked at Yuka sympathetically, she had to assume that was how they had ended up here. If Yuka had done the charm it just solidified the theory. This wasn't fair at all, all she wanted to do was spend time with her friends. She didn't deserve this.
Yuka thought on it. Her big brother's friends did to a charm right before they came here didn't they? And she joined in. 'That's the cause of this'. She thought sadly, she didn't think anything of it at the time. "There was a charm, with a paper doll...I thought it would be fun to join in since my big brother and his friends were doing it. I even still have the paper scrap."
'So she done the charm too, that settles it then'. Tohko gave a light sigh, momentarily looking down at her feet. "Yeah, I thought it would be fun too..."
Yuka felt bad about Tohko's downtrodden expression, she didn't blame her, she was sad too. Besides that Yuka straightened up and did her best to lift her spirits. "It's okay, once we find everyone else we'll figure out how to leave, it's not like it can be impossible."
Tohko couldn't help smile at Yuka's attitude, there was an uplifting air of innocence around her that compelled her to put on a brave face. She couldn't let herself drag Yuka down into despair with her. "No you're right Yuka, thanks."
Yuka smiled feeling like she had done her job. Tohko's eyes went to a piece of paper on the wall. "Let's have a look at this."
It was marked with blood and what might be nail marks.
No running in the halls
It made Tohko feel uneasy.
"Tohko!" A voice sounded from behind them.
Tohko turned at the sound of her name. "Emi! Kurosaki!" Emi and Tohko both ran over and hugged each other both beyond relieved.
"I'm so glad we found you, we haven't seen anyone since we got here." Emi said trying to get across her frustration. She looked behind Tohko at Yuka who was watching, still standing at the wall beside the poster.
Tohko looked behind her where Emi was looking. "Right, this is Yuka Mochida, she's been trapped in here too, she's looking for her older brother. And Yuka this is Emi Urabe and Kensuke Kurosaki some of the friend's I was telling you about."
Yuka straightened up a little. "Um hello nice to meet you" she greeted in a small gentle voice.
"Wow didn't expect to see anyone this young in here" Kurosaki said growing more weary of this place by the minute.
"When we found each other Yuka was hiding from the monster with the hammer...did you see him too?" Tohko asked.
Emi and Kurosaki looked at each other confused they had seen a lot of things in here but that wasn't one of them. "Monster?" Emi asked hesitantly.
"Yes monster he's like this big guy with chalk white skin and red eyes...he's like a zombie." Tohko spoke as if it was obvious. She couldn't believe they had been lucky enough not to encounter him.
"We haven't seen him Kirisaki but I'll take your word for it." Kurosaki said giving Tohko a nod.
They looked at each other for a second before Emi spoke up. "There's an exit have you seen? It's locked but if we could find a key..."
"I saw it, Yuka said she did too, but no signs of a key." Tohko answered somberly.
"Then we'll put that on the list of things to keep our eyes out for including our friend's and your brother Yuka." Kurosaki said with a smile, his optimism was contagious, everyone else smiled and they all agreed to start their search.
While they searched Yuka found herself liking them more, she hoped that when they met up with her group they would all be able to get out together. They tried to engage in conversation with her to keep things familiar and things were going well. It wasn't one sided, they were being uplifted by her just as much as she was them. Though the thoughts of her big brother still lingered on her mind, at least now she had help, and hope.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh"
Emi let out blaring scream, she covered her mouth, her whole body froze up in shock.
The others were lost in conversation, it took them a second to realise what she was looking at. Yuka stopped and stared at the corpse, she retched a little at the sight doing what she could not to cry. It was so fresh. This wasn't their first corpse though, Yuka noticed their reaction was different from the rest. 'Did they know each other'? Yuka despite wanting to look away examined the corpses clothing. 'It does look like the same blazer Kensuke is wearing' she thought shivering and looking up at Tohko and Kurosaki to determine their reactions. They both looked horrified.
"Urabe don't look" Kurosaki said putting a hand on her shoulder and trying to lead her back to Tohko.
"It's Fukuroi?" Tohko said half asking half stating. She looked down at the corpse which was lying face down with pools of blood all over his back and rips in his blazer. It look liked he had been stabbed multiple times.
Kurosaki had never felt lower in his life, to see someone you had known for so long, someone you had been with only a few hours ago mutilated like this. It was just too cruel. He looked back at the girls, Emi was a shivering mess and Yuka was torn between looking and not looking completely horrified, Tohko didn't appear to be falling apart yet but if they stayed here any longer... Kurosaki took a shaky breath. "Come on this way...it's not right to stare at him." The others didn't refute and they walked away from the corpse to another area.
There was a few minutes of silence.
"What the hell is wrong with this place...? Who would do that?" Tohko finally said sounding more sad than angry.
Kurosaki looked at her. "I don't know...we just...we have to get out of this place as soon as we ca-."
There was a noise from behind him, Kurosaki turned quickly. "Kizami?"
There was a another student, much taller than the rest with black hair and grey eyes. He stood with his blazer flung over his shoulder. Yuka knew this must be another one of their friends. His eyes lingered on her for a second, there was a subtle change in his expression - a look of surprise? awe? fascination?...wanting? - the look only lasted a split second before he looked back to his friend.
"Kurosaki! It's good to see all of you are alright." He had a strong and calm voice that matched his demeanour. It was all very daunting but Yuka did not feel scared.
Kurosaki let relief fill him, seeing his best friend alive, it was a reassuring sight after what he had just witnessed. "You too man, it's good to see someone else alive. This damn place...whatever it is, has ghost's in here! Honest to god real ghosts!"
Tohko's face also lit up at the site of Kizami, she stepped closer beside Kurosaki to get a better look at him. Emi was standing behind them with her shoulders hunched over, glad to see someone else from the school but still not over what they had saw. "Yuuya, I'm glad you're okay." Tohko said suddenly sounding bubblier, she felt instantly safer now.
Kizami nodded at Tohko somehow giving her a soft look whilst barely changing his moderate expression. "I've seen them" He said replying to Kurosaki's spiel. "I've yet to find a way out of here...if there is one."
Emi shivered at his words.
Kurosaki's expression changed to sadness. "Have you been there yet?" He jerked his head towards the direction they had came from, in the next space was Fukurois body.
"Yes I think I was in that area a while ago." The way he said it indicated that he mustn't have seen the body yet.
Kurosaki sighed inwardly not wanting to give the news, or even have to say it out loud. "It's Fukuroi...we saw him...dead." He looked at Tohko's sullen expression and back to the clearly traumatised Emi. "I think it's best we avoid going that way for as long as we can. You don't want to see that anyway."
Kizami mocked a dismal expression. "I see, that's terrible. I'm sorry you had to find him like that." He paused thoughtfully. "I agree then, best we look in other areas." He wasn't sad, far from it, but when he simulated his sad expression and spoke his words of condolences. Part of him didn't even know he was acting. Kizami's eyes were drawn back to the stranger, the little girl who hadn't said a word. He wanted to know more about her.
As if reading his thoughts Kurosaki looked at Yuka reminding himself that she and Kizami had never met. "Oh yeah, this is Yuka Mochida, she's looking for her big brother and his classmates. We decided we should all look together. The more people the better."
On the inside Kizami was smiling, the fact she was looking for her big brother set signals off in his head, for a second he felt detached from his body, like he was looking down at it from above. On the outside his expression remained the same. "Yes, that's true we're better off helping each other." He looked at Yuka dead in the eyes. "I'm sure we can help you find your big brother, no doubt in no time."
Yuka smiled, liking him more already. Tohko was smiling too at how reassuring he was. It would all be better now. No more dead familiar faces, no more fear. They'd find their way out. This was a sign of better things to come.
Emi didn't say much, unlike the rest of them the fear was strong and at the forefront of her mind. She didn't share the same images of hopeful outcomes that her friends did. But she wanted to, so she tried focusing on the positives, like her not being alone, or how she was still alive. Emi did her best to remain calm and strong. If her friends weren't losing their minds then neither should she. 'It'll be okay' she told herself, repeating it in her head until she believed it.
The group kept going. Tohko and Emi staying close to each other in the front, comforting one another, trying to remain lighthearted. Kurosaki was in the middle on high alert, he didn't feel like his usual self at all, like this place was pulling him away from himself. Kizami had opted to getting to know Yuka, they were talking in the back. He asked her about the charm, and how she was doing and often asked if she was alright, he seemed to sympathize completely.
Kizami looked at the others, all in their own world, definitely not listening to his conversation. He looked down at Yuka solemnly. "Yuka, it's not just my friends in here, coincidentally my little sister is in here too. I must find her soon." His voice was sad and genuine.
Yuka looked up in shock, she felt really bad for him now. "Your sister...? I'm sorry, I hope you find her."
"Thank you" he said sounding distant. "And I'm sure we'll find your big brother as well."
Yuka held her arm shyly. "Thank you, I hope so." Her voice was shaky since she was talking to a person she didn't know too well, but it wasn't because of fear. The only thing she was really scared of right now was the monster with the hammer. She hoped that she wouldn't be left behind if he came. That this group would protect her.
"Crap" They heard Tohko say from the front. Kizami stepped forward. "Is there a problem?"
Tohko didn't have to answer as Kizami took notice on the rather large cupboard blocking their path.
'Does this mean we have to go back?' Yuka though nervously.
Kizami to Yuka's surprise with minimal looking effort picked it up and pushed it back up against the wall. 'Whoa'.
Tohko beamed at the sight. "Wow, good work Yuuya, now we don't have to go back."
Kurosaki looked impressed as well. "Yeah nice one Kizami."
He didn't react much to the praise, just nodded as they continued.
There was an earthquake but it didn't last all of thirty seconds. Kizami showed concern for Yuka during and after it. She appreciated it and was glad to have found such good people. Yuka quickly forgot about the earthquake, taking no notice to the change in the air.
"Okay so we'll check this classroom and you two check that one." Tohko said looking at Kurosaki and Emi. She wanted to be with Yuuya and also didn't want to leave Yuka. They had decided that for only a minute they'd search different rooms, it seemed like a waste to have their whole group check one spot. They'd never get anywhere like that. The classrooms were pretty much right next to each other anyway so Tohko didn't exactly see it as 'splitting up'. It was actually Kizami's suggestion and Tohko completely agreed that it was a good idea.
Emi at first thought it would make more sense for the her to go with Tohko and Kizami with Kurosaki, since those pairs were closer to each other, but then she remembered Tohko's crush on Kizami and thought it best to do the sisterly thing and let them search together.
"Got it" Kurosaki said casually before walking to the door of the classroom. Emi followed him and the other group did the same, heading to the next classroom over.
Tohko started to become disappointed when their search went on in silence. She had to find something to say. "This place is insane right? I mean it's got me so on edge."
Kizami acknowledged Tohko's conversation grunting slightly. "I agree it's terrible." He turned his attention to Yuka. "You must be frightened?"
"I am but it's not as bad now that I'm not by myself." She was trying to sound convincing but her voice was still quiet. The classrooms were worse for her. Seeing the tiny desks and breathing in the unusual air.
Tohko admired Kizami's attitude towards Yuka. He really was good with her. She stopped as her eyes caught onto something. She let out a gasp. "Oh my god I think I found they key." It was exceptionally bigger than most keys and despite the rust seemed usable.
"That's Good nice find." He said this in the same distant tone he always uses but it still made Tohko's heart jump.
Kizami stepped away from where he was searching. "That's what we were looking for so let's go tell- "
"AHHHHHHHHHH"
He was cut of by a scream, Tohko jumped and let out her own small scream. "Yuuya I think that was Emi!"
The three of them hurried out of the room, Tohko put the key in her pocket as they left.
At the same time they saw Kurosaki burst out of the other classroom. "Urabe! Wait what's wrong!" Kurosaki shouted after Emi who was running away frantically.
"Kurosaki! What happened?!" Tohko yelled running towards him. He stopped and looked at them his eyes widened, panting. "I don't know she just started freaking out and wouldn't let me touch her. I was at the other side of the room. I don't know what happened!" He spoke quickly stammering over some words.
"We have to go get her!" Tohko said looking in the direction Emi had ran in.
"You're right, Kurosaki and I will go find her you and Yuka wait here." Kizami said already speed walking away.
Tohko's brain glitched for a second before she could answer. "Wait what? Yuuya wait!" Kizami, and Kurosaki who had followed suit were already out of sight. Tohko and Yuka were left standing there alone.
"Okay so we'll check this classroom and you two check that one."
"Got it."
Emi followed after Kurosaki who held the door open for her as they entered the classroom. She already wanted to get out of here, it didn't feel good. She felt sick.
"How 'bout I check this side and you check over. That okay Urabe?" Kurosaki asked his eyes scanning the eerie room. He looked back at her when she didn't answer noticing her pale face. 'Must still be shaken from earlier'. "Unless you want to stay closer than that?"
Emi snapped out of her daze quickly composed herself. "Oh, sorry that's okay we'll be out of here faster searching different sides." She gave a forced smile trying to reassure him."
"If you're sure."
There was a note on Emi's side of the room. Victims Memoirs. She read the full thing, it was horrible, some poor person's gut wrenching story about...she couldn't remember, she had just read it but already she couldn't remember. Emi gave it another look, the words were different now. diediediediedie. She blinked and it was different again. It was memoirs again, but not just anybody's, her own. She was confused as her own life and what she knew it to be started to twist and mesh with the words on the paper. 'Did that really happen?! Did I really do that? I don't remember! Who am I?' Emi looked at it again, the words were the same but the hand writing was different, it was her own.
"AHHHHHHHHHH"
Emi or whoever she was ran, right out of the room ignoring the confused Kurosaki. She had to get away, she couldn't be here. Emi kept running until she turned a corner stopping instantly almost in a robotic manner. A little girl in a red dress was looking back at her, grinning. There was a noise from behind her, heavy footsteps, grunting sounds. She didn't turn or run, her eyes were fixed to the little girl, she stared right into her eyes, unmoving before there was a cracking sound right in her ears. The sound of her own skull shattering. She shouldn't have been able to hear the should she? Her body dropped and her vision went red. Emi was upset because she thought her glasses might be broken, her mom was going to be so mad.
*Bang*
The hammer dropped again, assurance that this girl would not get back up ever again.
"Urabe! Urabe! Wait!" Kurosaki ran around the corner tripping over at the sight of Emi laying dead with her head cracked open. "Ahhhhhhh." He pushed himself back away from her as Kizami turned the corner.
Kizami didn't scream, he just looked at her body with soulless eyes. Of course Kurosaki couldn't see that.
Kurosaki stood himself up doing his best to keep his balance. He stood slouched looking at Emi who was with him only a minute ago. He rubbed his face exhaling loudly. "No, no no! God I should have kept my eyes on her. How the hell am I supposed to tell Tohko about this!?"
It was at that moment, at the sight of Emi's lifeless eyes that Kizami made a decision.
There was a shuffling sound from behind him that Kurosaki ignored while he tried and failed to wrap his head around the sight.
"It's okay Kurosaki, I can tell her." Kizami reassured him as he lifted up the strong and sturdy plank of wood to the back of Kurosaki's head.
Kurosaki was going to speak again, or at least Kizami was sure he was before the wood made contact with the back of his head with tremendous force. It was the last thing Kurosaki had expected, he let out a loud groan before falling face flat on the ground. He blinked away his blurry vision and attempted to push himself back up in his dazed state.
*Smack*
Another painful hit was delivered and then another, his his arms fell back to his side. He could feel the blood streaming down his forehead as he coughed weakly. He felt himself being turned, Kizami rolled him over flat on his back so that he could see his face and look into his eyes.
"Ki-Kizami, why?" Kurosaki barely whispered as he looked into his best friends eyes. They were vacant, the Kizami he knew wasn't there anymore, as If he was never really there to begin with.
Kizami laughed at the sight and the question. "Why-WHY?!" He practically spat the words. "Because you're a liar! Fake! This is what you get for using me, for thinking you were ever equal to me!" He leaned down to roll Kurosaki back over.
Kurosaki felt the strong taste of blood in his mouth and the pulsating wound at the back of his head. But mostly he felt anger, betrayal.
"Bastard" he managed to choke out.
Kizami sneered at the insult bringing the wood back up and driving it full force into Kurosaki's skull, he lost count of how many times he did it, but when he was done Kurosaki's body was completely limp and his face covered in blood. He was right next to Emi's body and most people would assume that it was the same culprit for each considering the similar wounds, that worked for Kizami, it was kind of perfect actually. Everything was perfect.
It's not like what he did mattered. As soon as he had seen Emi's dead stare he knew, no one was getting out of here alive. So what difference did it make who did the killing? "Being killed by the school, or by me...it's the same...you're all already dead." He said to himself out loud, hand through his hair with drool and sweat down his face. ...₱ɆⱤ₣Ɇ₵₮
"God where are they?!" Tohko asked herself as she paced back and forth a hint of fear in her voice. She looked at the scared Yuka and stopped. "Sorry, I'm being over paranoid, they'll be okay, it was probably just a misunderstanding. Plus Yuuya wouldn't let anything happen to her, he's a good man."
"Y-Yeah" Yuka said quietly.
Tohko took another shot at reassurance. "I found the key right, so when they get back we'll go to the exit, we might find a way out of here, we might even run into your brother." Tohko didn't know what she expected to happen when they got to the exit, but it had to be better than this.
Yuka gave a weak smile. "Yeah and maybe Kizami will find his little sister."
Tohko paused her thoughts wondering if she had heard Yuka right. "...Little sister?" Did Yuuya have a little sister that he had never told her about? Even then it's not like she would be here, the only people who did the ritual were her classmates.
Yuka was confused at Tohko's confusion. "Yes... he said his little sister was in here too...is she not?"
Tohko opened her mouth to speak but only a small sound came out as she scrambled for something to say. 'Yuka must have misheard him...' some kind of mix up was really the only way that what she had just said could make any sense. Tohko and Yuka looked each other in the eyes before Tohko found her voice and slowly croaked out "He doesn't have one."
There was the sound of a floorboard creaking they both let out a startled gasp and looked over to see Kizami standing there, watching them. 'Was he listening to us?' Tohko thought. He looked like himself but his eyes were hollow and there was blood on his usually stainless white shirt.
"Yuuya! Are you okay? Oh my god what happened?" Tohko rushed over to him. She almost put her hand on his arm but stopped herself.
Despite his hollow eyes his voice was the calm one it always was. "I'm okay...but I'm afraid I have bad news." He kept his head in the same position but aimed his eyes down at the floor feigning sadness. "There was a monster...the one with the hammer Yuka mentioned...he got to Urabe and then Kurosaki as he went to help her. I tried to help them but he overpowered me and pushed me away before I could stop him...I don't know why he didn't kill me too...I'm sorry there was nothing I could do." Kizami kept his voice leveled the whole time, it took everything in him not to laugh. The 'monster' Yuka mentioned, he had saw it himself already but was able to avoid it, he assumed it must have been what killed Emi so it's not like it was all a lie.
Tohko let out a sound of pain, her knees bent but she did not drop to the floor. She wrapped her arms around herself and let tears run down her face as her breathing became more intense.
Yuka came up to them. "Tohko are you okay?" She asked as her own tears formed in her eyes. The monster with the hammer did this, the exact same thing could have happened to her or still happen. She shook with fear as she watched Tohko cry. Kizami just stood there watching.
...
...
It must have taken a good 20 minutes for Tohko to calm down. She was leaned up against the wall looking wearily at Kizami her chest rising up and going back down in an irregular manner. Yuka noted a look in her eyes, she didn't know what it was, just sadness maybe, but maybe anger or something else like a word Yuka couldn't think of from the top of her head, like suspicion or ...
...doubt. Kizami noticed it. It was doubt. "Are you okay?" he asked evenly.
"I- no. But there's still more of us in here...we have to keep going...don't we Yuuya?". Her voice trembled on the last few words. She brought her hand to her chest debating whether to ask. Did it even matter now?
"Indeed." Kizami said. "I'm certain our friends wouldn't want us to waste away in here."
Tohko nodded but kept her eyes down and her back to the wall. "Yuuya...?"
"Hm what is it?"
Tohko hesitated, her eyes still on the floor. "When you were away, Yuka mentioned you were looking for your little sister...what does that mean?...I didn't know you had a little sister" She looked up at him, into his eyes and furrowed her brow as she noticed his face twitch.
Yuka watched Kizami's face change, she watched Tohko's change too, she was looking at Kizami differently than she had this whole time. No longer with respect or longing but with impatience, distrust and fear.
The end of Kizami's mouth started to twitch up in an unusual manner. "What are you saying? Of course I have one...she's standing right there."
Yuka's blood ran cold. Tohko pushed herself off the wall and in front of Yuka, not directly in front just so she was in the space between the two. "What does that mean Yuuya? That's not your sister." The fear in her voice was finally evident, she sounded like she was on the edge of tears, or just on the edge of breaking altogether.
Kizami took a step closer to Tohko who stayed still her back straight and her neck held up high. She was confused, but she didn't want him to know she was scared. A part of her was waiting for a reasonable explanation, or him to say it was all a joke.
Yuka took a step back which Kizami took notice of. "What's wrong Yuka?"
Yuka whimpered and Kizami took another step towards Tohko.
"Stop!" Tohko shouted her voice cracking. Her body was starting to shake but she didn't move.
Kizami brought his attention back to her. "You're wrong, that's my little sister and you're standing in my way."
"Kizami, I'm not your sister." Yuka said almost voicelessly.
Kizami's face made it apparent that he was beginning to get impatient with both of them. "Yuka come here" He looked at Tohko. "Move."
Both of them were shaking now. "N-n-No Yuuya she's not your sister."
"YES SHE IS" Kizami shouted out of nowhere startling both girls. Tohko shook but didn't move. "No no NO SHE'S NOT." She shouted back with her weak, trembling voice.
The look in Kizami's eyes changed in an instant, no longer hollow now there was pure rage in them. "MOVE" He shouted raising his fist and punching the stunned Tohko in the face. She was completely unready for it, she had never been hit before, she screamed and fell back grabbing at her swollen face. Kizami wasn't done yet, as with Kurosaki he needed more, punching her several more times before Yuka ran up at him screaming for him to stop.
Kizami stood up straight taking a second to ignore Tohko who was sobbing now. There was a set of footsteps coming towards them. It was the monster again. Either Kizami didn't notice or he didn't care.
"Run Yuka" Tohko said, sobbing and choking as she tried to crawl away.
Kizami punched Yuka hard in the gut so that she doubled over, turned to Tohko grabbed her, pulled her up and threw her towards the monster that was still in pursuit of them. Tohko screamed and her weak body stumbled right into him.
Kizami ignored the sound's of screaming, pounding and choking coming from behind him as he calmly bent down and grabbed the back of Yuka's smock dragging her away.
By the time the monster was done with his beating they were gone and he didn't know where they had went.
Sachiko knew. She didn't want a boring repeat of the last time they were here. Sachiko had different plans for everyone, just to make thing's interesting.
