Haruka stared at the two's bodies, in shock. Gou looked happy, and Mikoshiba looked horrified. In Mikoshiba's hands were a pair of scissors, and in the other he loosely held Gou's hand. "H-how? Why?" Haruka whispered under his breath.

"No! No! G-Kou!" Nagisa was screaming in the hall, Makoto was holding him back. His eyes were filled with terror and tears. His voice was hoarse from screaming.

"She's gone, Nagisa! She's not coming back!" Makoto yelled. He wrapped his arms around the blond, trying to hold him back.

Nagisa shook his head violently. "Kou will wake up, so will Mikoshiba! Wake up, Kou!" His shrieking echoed throughout the school.

Haruka looked over at Miss Amakata, who was in a fetal position now against a wall. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't save you, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She repeated. She kept shaking her head and was crying.

Rei had woken up, and was also staring at the two. He wasn't crying like the others, but the fact that they were dead shocked him, and it didn't seem real to him. It was just like yesterday when Gou was yelling at him for not saying her preferred name. Rei walked over to Amakata, to make sure she was fine, and put a hand on her shoulder. "Miss Amakata?"

"I'm sorry!" She cried again. She looked up to see Rei, but looked behind him and quickly ducked her head down again.

"Wow, it's been a long time?" Rei turned around to see the Iwatobi-chan shaped demon. "Oh…what a happy couple. Too bad they're dead." The thing said, sighing.

Haruka was now aware of the demon. "You bastard." He hissed.

"Now now, didn't your mother ever teach you manners? Good boys don't curse." He laughed and clapped his wings, and a bar of soap appeared in Haruka's mouth.

"Ergh…" Haruka pulled the soap out and threw it at the demon. "We can't do a trial. They committed suicide." He growled.

"Ah? Only the girl did. The other one though….heh." It laughed and kicked the scissors out of Mikoshiba's hand.

"Stop it." Rei snarled. He was pissed off now. Not only did the thing bully Haruka, disrespect his friends, but he would mistreat his friends.

The thing flew up to Rei's face. "Shut up, pest." Rei felt a tug on his shirt, and was thrown against a wall, gag in mouth now. "Anyway. Trial. 20 minutes. Good luck. You better contain your friend over there," It motioned to Nagisa, who was still screaming, "or he might be punished."

"How?" Haruka whispered.

"You wouldn't want to know. Most don't survive." It giggled. "20 minutes." A black cloud formed around it, and it disappeared.

Haruka glanced over at Rei, who was struggling to get the gag out. The black-haired boy went to his underclassmen and untied the tight knot. "Thanks." Rei groaned. There was a red line on his skin. "How's Nagisa and Miss Amakata?"

Haruka glanced at his teacher, who was now calm and collected. Nagisa, on the other hand, was still hysterical. "Nagisa." Haruka bent down next to Makoto.

"What?!" Nagisa snapped. He was furious now.

"You need to calm down or bad stuff will happen." Haruka spoke softly.

Nagisa sniffled and tried to stop shaking. "I-I'm sorry." He wiped warm tears away from his pink eyes. The skin around his eyes was a light red. He has a splitting headache. "It just got to me." He shrugged and wrapped his arms around himself. "So…they're never coming back, huh?"

Makoto wrapped his arms around him, drawing him closer. "It's okay. If we can just remember them, they'll live on." He smiled.

Rei put his hand on Nagisa's shoulder. "Well…we have 20 minutes to figure out who did this."

The four turned to the bodies and Miss Amakata leaning against a wall. She looked terrified. "Boys…" She started to cry again. "I'm sorry." She buried her head in her hands. "I-I didn't know what to do, and I….I…" Amakata cried so hard she couldn't speak.

Haruka walked over to her and put his hand on her head. "What happened, Miss Amakata?"

Amakata wrapped her arms around herself again. "W-we came in and we found Gou hanging from the ceiling, and she was dead. Mikoshiba was really upset, and we cut her down. H-he asked me to go get another rope, and I told him no, but he was forcing me to. I-I didn't mean to." She broke down.

Haruka nodded. "It's okay. We know Gou committed suicide, but what happened to Mikoshiba? Why is he so bloody?" He glanced at the clock. They had 9 minutes left.

"H-he grabbed me. He was begging me to go get another jump rope out of the gym. He said he needed me to go get it, that he couldn't go in there. I tried to get away, but he was crying. I couldn't do it." Amakata looked around.

"Why is he bloody, Miss Amakata?" Haruka had to force her knowledge out of her. He had to know if she killed him or if he committed suicide, despite what the demon said.

Amakata lowered her head. "I told him to let me go. He only had my arm, but it hurt. I took some scissors, and I threatened to cut him. He wouldn't let me go. He said one thing to me. 'Do it'. H-he wanted me to kill him. I-I didn't want to do it, but he looked so miserable without Gou." She whimpered. "I did it, and I laid him next to Gou, and made them hold hands. How much longer until I…." She couldn't finish her sentence.

"3 minutes." Haruka held his hand out. She took it and stood up. "It'll be okay."

Amakata looked at the other boys, Rei and Makoto holding Nagisa close and Haruka providing support. She sighed and smiled, wiping her eyes. "It's been fun, boys. Be good when I'm gone." She grinned at the three. "Remember to study, and stay positive!" Miss Amakata turned to a desk and sat down on it. She crossed her arms, ready for her fate.

The little demon popped out of nowhere, scaring Nagisa and making him bury his head in Rei's shoulder. "So we're ready for the trial?" It giggled.

"No need." Miss Amakata nearly interrupted it. "This will take just a second." The four boys were stunned by her bravery.

She cleared her throat. "I, Amakata Miho, killed Seijuurou Mikoshiba. Matsuoka Gou committed suicide, something I couldn't have prevented."

The demon chuckled. "Is that it? A confession?" It seemed confused. "No crying, no begging for mercy?"

"I've been crying. I'm going to die either way, so why not go out with some pride?" Amakata approached it and bent down in front of it. "Give it your best shot."

It growled and its eyes glowed red. "Well. Is Amakata the murder?" It said with monotony in his voice. It seemed bored.

The four hesitated, but Amakata grinned, and they nodded. "Very well. Let the execution begin!" It clapped its wings and the room went dark, like with Rin.

Paper cuts

Miss Amakata was sitting at a desk, hands pinned to the wood. She couldn't move them, but she sat there, slightly shaking. She could see the four boys sitting at desks, too, but they were behind a fence away from her. In front of the desk was a canon-like machine. Behind her there was a chalkboard with skull and crossbones drawn on it. Two things were written on it in white chalk.

"Paper Cuts"

"Have a nice death!"

Amakata whimpered as she heard the machine fire up. It whirred loudly, and a book went flying at her. It hit her chest, and she coughed loudly when it made impact with her body. "Ow." She mumbled as another flew out at her. It hit her arm, the paper cutting her arm and caused a large cut on her skin. As the time went on, more were thrown at her. She was bloody and had bruises all over her torso and face. It wasn't until a large dictionary was thrown at her did it crack her skull and she died instantly. Her body was limp, but books still hit her and made her body lean backwards.

Out of the nine people that entered the school, only four now lived.

A/N time: I completely forgot about posting chapter 4! I posted it on Tumblr, but not here! I'm so sorry!
