Well...
It seems, my dear...
That you and I...
We're walking on thin ice.
I was so freaking horror-struck when I found the address; a club. A freaking club. Of course that's where I end up, surrounded by the thing I hate the most. If I survive this...
When I walked up to the front door, two men were looking at me funny. They were large, bulky men in leather clothes, and they wore shades. Security guards, obviously. Regardless, they didn't do anything to me as I approached the door to knock...but I could tell they were suspicious.
They knew who I was. I could tell.
There were two women leaning against the building, dressed in those disgusting outfits...filthy vermin, they were. As I knocked, a panel in the door slid open, and a man peered through to glare at me suspiciously from behind his sunglasses. "What are you doing here?" the man asked in a deep voice. "Did you come to the wrong place?"
I opened my mouth to say something, but he interrupted me. "Go home!" he told me. "Next!" He began to slide the panel back again.
"W-wait!" I cried, putting my hand on the door as the security guards came closer to pull me away. "Some girl wanted me to come here tonight!" I held up a card Rin had given me along with the club's address. "Her name is Rin!"
After a few moments, the panel slid open once more, and once again I met the man's suspicious gaze. "...are you sure?" He opened the door and let me inside. I felt relief for a moment, but that was quickly extinguished when I caught sight of everything.
Down here, it's like every other club...
"Go up one floor from here," the man instructed me. "To the blue room." This is the guy who wanted to see Rin...this guy?
I nodded gratefully to him, glad to escape from my worst nightmare for just a moment.
But...could this place be...?
Can it be...?
I opened the door, half-expecting what I found inside. I refuse to go into detail, but Rin turned and smirked at me as she heard me enter the room, climbing off of an agitated male, who was handcuffed to the bed. "You were slow in getting here, Len."
"What? Hey!" the male yelled, annoyed as Rin put her shirt back on and slid on a jacket.
"Let's go, Len," she told me. I followed silently, and I couldn't help but laugh at the man who was still screaming curses at Rin, seething.
"Wait a sec!" the male called as I opened the door for Rin, allowing her to leave first. "The fun is just starting! How could you leave now? Don't joke around! Kaito's going to be back soon! If he finds out what I was going to do to you, he'll kill me! Rin!" The man was silent for a moment. "Oh, come on! At least untie me!"
Rin decided it was best if we talked in the bathroom instead of the bedroom. I didn't object, though I felt a bit uncomfortable being in a women's bathroom. "It's better in here," the golden-haired girl explained as she pulled me inside. "Our boss is very careful; he hides recording devices under the bed. You don't want others to hear this, right?"
I stared at her. "You...you're a..." I stuttered before my anger suddenly flared up. "This is a prostitute house! You're living your life by selling your body! You're still young! What about school? How can you live the life of a-" I cut myself off there, suddenly feeling like that would be...too much. "...how can you live a life like this?"
Rin stared at me for a few moments, her eyes wide in blatant disbelief, then, too my surprise, she started laughing. "You're such a passionate teacher!" Then, she raised an eyebrow at me. "But should you be able to tell me what to do? After all..." I could tell what was coming as she gave me a grin similar to that of the Cheshire cat. "During the day, you put on the facade of a normal, everyday school teacher...but at night, you turn into a killer who slaughters young prostitutes!"
This girl...she's going to be the death of me! I clutched my head as if I was in pain, backing away from her a bit. "Stop! I don't want to talk about that!" I met her gaze, and she was looking at me with that same dull expression she had when she first saw me. "You...I know what you want...money, right?" I had collected a good amount of money...and I needed it. But this girl was driving me insane, and if this got her out of my life, she could have it...I threw every bit of money I had to her.
She simply watched as it slowly fell to the floor.
I grabbed her by the collar of her jacket, pulling her closer. "Return that tag to me!" I told her desperately. She didn't react as I yanked it from around her neck. "...this..." On closer observation, I realized it wasn't mine. "This is a fake! Where is the real one?"
"My friend has it," she told me simply. "If I disappear, or if I am killed, she'll turn it into the police."
I stared at her, angry. What does she want? "What the hell do you want from me?" I cried.
She looked at me now, a new emotion in her eyes I could not comprehend. "Take me away from this place," she told me. "I want to be free."
I stared at her for a few moments. "You...want to escape?" I asked. "You should just run away!"
She sighed, shaking her head, her blue eyes actually looking distraught for a moment, and God forbid I feel pity for her. "It's not that simple. I've run away, many times," she explained. "But I was always found and nearly beaten to death." She shed her jacket and pulled down her shirt just enough so that I could see a tattoo on her chest. "This mark makes me property of Kaito, my boss. I can't run away by myself."
"I-I can't help you!" I cried. "I'm just a school teacher! I don't even know how I'd get you out of here! You're making things complicated.
There was an awkward silence before she spoke again. "Do you really want that thing back?" she asked me, though I didn't answer. "Then...I'll tell you where it is." She pushed herself up from where she was sitting and walked over to me. She grabbed ahold of my shirt collar, standing on tiptoe and pretty much forcing me into a kiss. She put a hand on my chest, beginning to unbutton the jacket I was wearing and pulling it off altogether. She had begun to rid herself of her shirt, as well as mine, before my brain finally started working again and I pushed her a bit off of me a bit too roughly.
"Enough!" I cried, wiping my mouth off on my shirt sleeve in sheer disgust as she fell back against the wall. "It's disgusting!" I turned around and, without even glancing back at her, ran out the bathroom door.
Dangerous! That girl is dangerous all over!
I ran out of that place and into the darkening city, panting.
Run faster! I have to get far away from her...
Or else her eyes will trap me!
I didn't stop running until I reached my house, panting as I leaned against my wall to keep myself from collapsing. I felt something rub against my leg, and I jumped in surprise as I looked down to see my pet iguana, Wolfy. "Oh, Wolfy," I said when I had finally gotten my breath back. "I'm sorry. I bought you a name tag, but I, uh, lost it." The large iguana just stared at me.
That's it! Her eyes are like the eyes of an iguana!
Completely void of feeling...
Eyes that say, "I know everything about you!
"I'll give you food right away, Wolfy," I leaned down to him. "Here."
Those eyes...are frightening me...
The only thing to do is to kill her!
I must kill her!
Listen, the jester is calling.
Do you want a balloon?
Come one, come all!
Ladies and gentleman!
Sorry, there aren't anymore, kid.
Mother...
Were there no more balloons because I'm a child nobody wants?
Mother...
Did you leave me because YOU didn't want me?
Mother...
Did I kill you because I didn't want YOU?
