Chapter 3: Containing it is hard to do.

Okay. I've killed Sakura according to plan. And now, I just felt so tired at screwing this slut. You know, it's not easy pulling that rope with force while doing it with your little sister.

By now, I just need some sleep. And since this would be the last time that Sakura's here, in this house. I've decided to sleep right beside her body. Uncomfortable, yes, but I'm not that type of guy who could sleep in a sofa. I did it once, I didn't like it.

What? My back felt painful when I woke up after sleeping on a sofa! I need a bed! Geez…

But anyway, as I woke up, the first thing I saw is her, pale, a bit stiff and cold to touch. I guess my plan worked out, didn't it? This calls for a celebration! Now all I need to do is to dump the body!

But wait…

How am I supposed to do that? If I just threw her body somewhere without burying it, the police will easily see it, they'll examine the body and eventually, they'll discover that I murdered her! I can't just bury it in my yard, it's covered with grass and digging it will be a dead giveaway! But hey, since Fuyuki City has a forested area somewhere in it's outskirts, maybe I could bury her body somewhere there! I'm pretty sure no one will notice where!

But how I am going to carry her body without making me suspicious? I know! I'm going to put it in a container! The question is what kind of container?

Okay. So this is one important aspect when killing someone and that is where to put the body and how to bring it there without being spotted by everyone. Keeping it in your house usually wouldn't work, since the corpse will, just like that old man Zouken, eventually rot and your neighbors and even the people just passing by your house will discover it by the smell of the corpse. And since no one, especially yours truly, could stand the stench of a rotting dead body; the only choice is to bury it.

One thing we should find in the corpse's container is, of course, size. Do you expect me to cram her corpse in a shoebox? If yes, then try fitting in yourself. Unless you're a dwarf or some kind of freak who could fit on a small space, you wouldn't even fit inside a box for a medium-sized television without destroying it. But if you could and you think you're normal, then you obviously missed the point of what I'm saying. Sakura is around five feet in height, so I'm going to need a box that is exact or even bigger than that.

Another one is strength of the container. If your box get damaged or destroyed and the corpse comes out, you're screwed unless you find another one nearby. But since I don't have a car and I have to drag or carry it all through the way from here to the forests, cardboard isn't good for this.

And the most important factor is finding a container is if it looks obvious that you're carrying a corpse in it. If it is, then you're screwed. So that means no body bags or anything made of clear plastic. Trash bags will do, but unless you could carry it well and not drag it.

As for now, I guess I just have to untie her from these ropes. The ropes have made their marks in her wrists and ankle so well, and, as I told you a while ago, these rope marks will be a good source of alibi. Her corpse has almost gone stiff and I could see that the body's skin at the back is starting to get discolored, but I could still move her joints well. But anyway, I must put this down to the living room, lay her down on the sofa and make her seem like she's only sleeping, while I think of a good container for her.

When I carried her downstairs, that's the only time I realized that this fat bitch is so heavy. But still, I managed to carry her to the living room, that is, after a few bumps on her head against the wall, few times that I fell down and after the corpse fell down and rolled over the stairs. No, I'm not a wimp, she's just too heavy.

After I made her lay by her side at the sofa and rested her head on a pillow, that's the time I started thinking of where to put the corpse. Damn it, I should have planned this before killing her. But since there's still ample time before her corpse begins to rot, I started to search the tool room. Again.

Then somebody knocks at the door.

I was alarmed of what happened and quickly reached for it. I peeked out and guess who I saw, it was Shirou, that "janitor wannabe" guy at our school I told you a while ago, right? He was there at the door, greeting me with a "Shinji…I just want to return you this ice box I borrowed last week…" Oh. So apparently, that guy was just returning that large ice box to me. I then answered "Okay. Just leave that there and I'll take care of it." And he nodded.

But then he asked me "And Shinji…aren't you attending school for today?" I didn't see this coming, so I don't know what to answer. Well, I just told him "Uh. Not for today, just tell our adviser that I'll be going to some place, okay?" Then he asked me again "And where's Sakura?" and I quickly answered "Oh. She's there at the sofa."

Oh shit. Why did I answer that?

He then quickly asked, one more time. "What is she doing there?" Damn it, I gave her away, but I must not panic. I could still cover-up this, anyway. I just have to answer "…Uhmm…She's…sleeping. Right! She's sleeping." That's that ticket! The idiot then asked, one more goddamned time, "She's sleeping at the sofa?" "Yes. Stop asking." I replied, to end this, once and for all.

He then went silent for a while and said "Alright. Just…say hello for me to her." "Yes. Now leave that thing and go." I said.

Whew. That was close.

I looked at him as her walked away from our house, to make sure he wouldn't see me. And when he's finally out of sight, I quickly reached the ice box and dragged it inside the house. I'm safe as for now, and I really hope that nobody would visit me after him.

And to calm myself down after that "visit", I decide to go to the kitchen sink and wash my face, since I've just practically waked up and haven't eaten yet. So I immediately sat down on one of the dining tables and looked around for anything useful. What I found within my sight is the usual kitchen stuff, a potted plant, a chandelier, then another chandelier when I looked towards the living room and a girl suddenly coming in the house, calling out my name in anger.

Oh no.

I then hurriedly went to the living room. If I can't cover this up, I'm totally screwed. That girl who just went in without any warning was Mariko, another one of my girlfriends. Upon seeing me, she marched toward me and whacked me with the books she's carrying, while saying "Shinji, how could you do this to me!" repeatedly. I can't reply with me using my arms as a shield to protect my beautiful face. I just then said out loud. "Whoa! Calm down! Calm down!", but she would just stop thwacking me with those books. I was finally able to stop her by taking her hands on the wrists and holding them down. I then told her "Mariko, please calm down! Okay?" She then forced her wrists out of my hold and said "Shinji! I saw you with another girl, two days ago! And don't tell me that you guys are just friends, because I saw you flirting with her!" then a slap in my face. My poor face. She then continued nagging at me "And oh, I discovered something about you, too…That you're dating every one of my friends! How could you do this to us, Shinji! Answer me!" Wow. This girl's so melodramatic; it's like I'm her leading man on a drama series. But good thing she didn't notice Sakura's body. Yet.

"Calm down, Mari-chan. You couldn't just judge me for that." I said. "I was just dating those girls because you see, there's really nothing wrong with dating. That's just it. I would just like to know each of you. Okay?" I hoped she would calm down after I answered her question but then again, she finally found another alibi. "Then who's that girl on your sofa? Why is she here? Is she one of your girls, huh?" Oh God. She finally noticed the corpse. Come on, sexy man. Think! "That's Sakura, my little sister! She's…kinda sick and needing some rest, okay? I'm not gonna go back to Homurabara until she's okay, you understand?" She was then silenced. I then continued telling her "If you're going to disturb me with your jealousy and won't let me take care of my sister, then I'm sorry, Mari, but I guess you need to cool your head off! Okay?" Her voice then turned from angry to soft when she said "I'm…I'm sorry, Shinji. I…was just too insecure…" "That's okay, Mari-chan." I told her, as if I was some kind of an understanding man. "We…could talk about this after I start attending our classes again, okay? As for now, I don't want my sister to get disturbed on her sleep." And she answered "I'm…so sorry, Shinji." Then she sniffed, as if she wants to cry. "Don't worry, I just…wait for you there…" And then I nodded. Then she slowly walked away to the door, and finally left the house.

At last, I've fended another "visitor" and covered-up her death, but I guess I must hurry and find her body a container. But as for now, I must put this ice box somewhere…

…Wait a second.

Why didn't I notice that I could bend Sakura's body and make her hug her knees? That's right! In that way, I would only need a container that's a third of her height! And since this wheeled ice box is more than two feet wide, I could use it as a container! It's made of hard plastic, very strong and it will only look like I'm carrying beverages inside! Perfect!

Now all I have to do is to bend her from the waist first, then bend her knees then put her into the ice box. It's that simple!

Now all I have to do is take a shovel, wear a camper attire to bring this somewhere to the forests of Fuyuki City…
