Tsumi no Honoo
---
Thanks for reading this far. This is a Kagami-centric chapter, dealing with her part to play in this drama. It'll help to explain why she's so cold in some of the earlier chapters and those to come. Enjoy. By the way, the chapter's title comes from the Japanese version of Hellfire from the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

You're sick…
It burns!
Nothing worked. She couldn't get a decent conversation from her sister. Miyuki was too ditzy to go to for help. Immersing herself in homework had failed miserably, disastrously even. The source of her agitation was completely out of the question.
Pencils snapped in twos and threes covered the floor, along with ripped textbooks. Her backpack was ripped right in half. Kagami herself was the worst.
Filthy… Disgusting…
I cant' stop!
As she lay on the bed tossing, writhing, tearing her clothes off, Kagami clutched between her white fingers a single object; a ribbon that Konata had once used in a cosplay. She half sighed, half whimpered and trailed it across herself.
Her forehead, her cheeks, her neck, anywhere she could find skin, she drew the ribbon across. She drew the ribbon close to her face and inhaled deeply. Then she burst into tears.
The midget is disgusting, rude, selfish, but…
Just the thought of her makes everything burn!
The Tsundere bit on the ribbon and screamed into it. There she spent the night….
On her bed…
Tortured and shamed…
Sighing and crying…

This was an emotional chapter, and I hope I captured that here. Please, tell me how to improve. Anything helps. Review.
