Adjusting his shirt cuffs, ready to take his girlfriend out, Kiba stared at himself in the mirror and smiled. "Today is the day," he breathed. He had seen Hanabi one day when he had gone home with his friend Hinata to do a school project. The moment she had turned eighteen, he had asked her father if he could date her and the man had agreed with it, happy with the pairing.
While Hinata was beautiful with soft lavendered colored eyes, long, soft blue-black hair, and pale skin, she was also dating Itachi Uchiha and had been since she had turned sixteen, he eighteen, with their parents permission. But Hanabi…she sparkled with a brighter beauty compared to her sister's quiet beauty.
And he knew just what he needed to do with the beauty that he was dating.
Leaving his house, driving out to pick her up, he took her out on a picnic date since the day was so nice and he needed absolute privacy for what he was going to do. Once at the meadow next to a lake, they laid out the picnic blanket together before the food, Hanabi smiling at her boyfriend, loving the fact that the man had put so much thought into their dates. He had taken her to various restaurants, expanding her tastes from the expensive ones that she had been raised with, but always in thoughtful ways.
Hamburgers at the drive-in's had been a favorite while getting deli sandwiches and other snacks to watch fireworks at festivals were a close second.
Kiba smiled back at as he handed her a plate of small sandwiches and other finger foods, mind whirling with what was going to happen soon. After they had eaten some, Kiba offered to show her the lake up close, saying that it was filled with fish that looked like oil had slicked over their scales and had rainbows shine in the light.
They walked up to the lake bed, Kiba letting her walk ahead of him to step next to the lake, Hanabi bending over with a delighted gasp of pleasure.
Picking up the rock that he had moved to the spot earlier, Kiba walked up behind Hanabi and raised the rock up, bashing her on the head with a hard ram of the rock. Watching her jerk and collapse in front of him, ignoring the few blood drops that splashed from the hit onto him, he knelt over her and kept hitting her, caving her skull in until he was absolutely sure she was dead.
Dropping the rock into the lake, done with it now, he turned her over with a blank smile, stroking over her cooling cheek before pulling out a rose that he had tucked into his pocket before they had walked to the lake. Opening her mouth, he gently tucked the rose in between her teeth before closing it. Brushing a bit of her hair out of her face, he smiled softly. "All beauty dies," he cooed before carefully placed her into the lake water, letting her float away.
Standing up, he brushed off his pants and went back to the picnic spot. He ate the small chocolate cake that he had bought earlier, knowing that it would only be him to eat so it wasn't a large slice. Once done, he cleaned things up, changed his shirt, made sure he didn't have any blood on his skin and left the picnic area.
A day later, her body was found by Naruto and Kankuro, his boyfriend, as they hiked to a well-known camping spot about half a mile from the picnic area. Finding her freaked Naruto out and prompted Kankuro to call the police, telling them where they were. Twenty-four hours after that, Kiba was picked up for her murder.
He never once denied killing her, stating that all beauty died. His mother was surprised at how her son had hidden such issues from her, especially since her ex-husband had his own well known mental issues that he couldn't hide. But to have seen him so utterly blank during the trail had broken her heart.
Naruto, who had known him from a very young age, had gone back over their childhood and seen little signs that there was something wrong but hadn't picked up on them. Kankuro just supported his lover and helped him through the nightmares that the entire thing had left him with. Hinata moved in with Itachi, needing to get away from the home that her and her sister had lived in all their lives.
Hiashi, their father, had pushed for Kiba to get a fair, full trial, and was mostly glad that he was sent to a mental hospital, offering to pay for a higher class one when Tsume had broken down.
The two families were broken, his friends were shocked, but to Kiba, it was all so clear that all beauty had to die, and he was the one who had made sure that it had died at it's peak.
