Mion couldn't focus right. She was so outraged after confirming the fact of Satoko's abuse with her. She was mad before and hated Satoko's uncle strongly then, but after hearing it from Satoko herself, and seeing the sadness that crossed over Satoko's face, she couldn't help but feel like she needed to kill. And she was ready to.

She had come into the Houjou home, and snuck into the kitchen, before grabbing the biggest knife that she could find. She had to check if it was sharp, but stabbed the counter. When it went through the wood easily, she snatched it up.

She found Teppei Houjou sprawled out on the living room couch, droll oozing out of his mouth. He looked like he wasn't sleeping peacefully, telling Mion that she needed to be careful not to wake him.

She silently got behind him and put the cold blade to his neck. She felt him move slightly, and a grimace appeared on her face. She wanted him to wake up, but after she had him in a dangerous position, so he couldn't really fight back.

She put a little pressure on the blade and murmured "C'mon, wake up you bastard." she couldn't help but want to wake him up.

He mumbled a little, slurping up some of the spit that had accumulated at the corner of his mouth. Some of the words that he had mumbles, Mion picked up. "Satoko, you little twerp..." Now, why would he be murmuring that in his sleep?

Mion pulled the blade a little closer to herself, putting more pressure on his neck. She heard him cough, and choke a little. She looked down to see his beady eyes open, and looking right at her.

"You move, you die." she spouted, without really thinking. Her mind was running on autopilot, anger being the engine keeping her going.

Teppei didn't move, but quietly said, "Sonozaki..."

"Yes, and I'm obligated to hurt you. You've been tormenting Satoko for too long. If it weren't for you, Satoshi would've never left, and Satoko would be healthy. You've got no reason to live in this village any longer, and you left before. My grandmother never welcomed you back." Mion said, taking a fist of his hair into her hand.

"Ugghh, I wouldn't have to treat that little brat like I do if she just did what she was told." he growled, earning a tug of his hair from Mion.

"She's a child. Not an animal." Mion replied simply.

"And I never re-introduced myself to Oryou Sonozaki because I thought that since I was a previous resident..." he faded off.

"Ryuguu Rena and her family re-introduced themselves, why shouldn't you?" Mion said, in a harsh tone.

"They've been one from nearly a decade though! I was only gone for a little less than a year."

"You should've not come back." Mion spouted. She pushed the knife closer to the side of his neck, right under the corner of his jaw. "Please, amuse me. Give me one reason why I should let you live?"

"Uhh... I... I am the only family Satoko has left! You kill me and she has to go into custody of Okinomiya's police department." he said, in a hurry, his voice weak.

"The Sonozaki family will adopt her. We will find a way to keep her in Hinamizawa. Give me a better reason." Mion said, applying a little pressure, lightly dragging the knife half a centimetre down his neck, causing his neck to dribble a little stream of blood.

"Ah-!" He said, not expecting the sudden pain in his neck.

"Well? What is your reason?" Mion asked, her voice low with authority.

"I... I..." He was silent for a moment, before looking at her again. "I have a job, a life, and I have to finish raising Satoko." he said, watching Mion's face, trying to find acceptance, but found nothing but a tough poker face.

"You're not raising her; you are taking her only childhood and breaking it into little pieces! And a job is no reason to live! Your life means nothing to the world." Mion pulled the knife down a little more, "I'm sick of you."

Teppei tried to pull away at the same time Mion swiftly ran the knife across his jugular vein. She even made sure to let the tip of the knife dig into the delicate area.

She cackled when he fell to the floor, his hand covering his neck. He had his mouth open trying to form words, but his severed throat wouldn't allow him to speak.

Mion smiled, "What does this feel like?" she kicked him in the side. "Remind ya of some resent events?" she asked, as she kicked him harder, making him cough up blood. "Oh, don't worry, it's not over yet. There are still about two and a half minutes left, before you lose consciousness. I'm not going to let you just lie around and die! That's not fun!"

He looked up at her with glassed over eyes. She could see fake apologies written all over his face, and she laughed again. "That face does nothing but make me want to hurt you more." she said, pushing his face onto the floor. She dug the knife slowly into his back, while holding his head down with the palm of her hand. "One more minute now."

She enjoyed seeing the light fade from his eyes as she pushed the tip of the blade into his skin and twisted it, as he bled out onto the floor. She could see the pain on his face, and it made her want to laugh in his face.

When his eyes closed, she sighed to herself, and grabbed his wrist. She wrapped her hand around his wide wrist, and checked his pulse. It was almost non-existent, which meant that there was no way in Hell that anyone would find him before he died.

Mion got off of her knee, feeling grateful that she wore a skirt, opposed to her normal jean attire. This made washing the blood off easier.

She delicately put the knife into his hand, even though it was almost completely obvious that he did not do this to himself, because of the buzz of Oyashiro-Sama's curse, someone might think that it was Oyashiro-Sama, even if it wasn't.

She sighed again, and quickly relocated to the kitchen to wash her hands, and get blood out of her hair.

After a few moments of washing up, Mion felt that she was clean enough to go out of the house. She had gotten most of the blood off of her, and what was left was just little droplets that she could blow off as a nosebleed, if anyone was to ask her about it.

With that, she took in a breath, and decided that it was time to go tell Satoko that the deed was done. Mion decided that when she got to Rika's, she would have Satoko call Okinomiya's police station and tell them that she had found her uncle dead in the house and ran to her friend's house to call them. Even though Satoko's house had a phone, because of her young age, it made sense.

She nodded to herself as she finished devising her plan, as she walked to the Furude Shrine.
