One Month.
It was one month since that fateful night.
One month since she waited at his house with dinner prepared.
One month since she had stayed up all night waiting for him.
A whole month of calling and waiting and hoping for him to return. In this time, Kotonoha had repeatedly visited Makoto-kun's house hoping for him to be there. The police were searching for him, but it seemed as though he would never be found. Kotonoha stared gloomily at the blackboard, her lifeless eyes fixated on that particular direction, unaware of her surroundings and engorged in an increasingly palpable depression.
"Miss Katsura."
"Miss Katsura!" her teacher yelled furiously.
"Yes?" Kotonoha answered in a monotonous voice
"Perhaps you would like to answer the question I just asked you." he suggested sarcastically.
"I don't know. I wasn't listening." she replied emotionlessly.
The teacher sighed in an attempt to alleviate his frustration. "Well, you had better start listening unless you want to fail this class."
"I don't care anymore." she retorted as she begun to spin her pencil around in her hand.
" Fine. Miss Mori, could you answer the question?" he resolved.
Kotonoha began to once again drift into the realm of thought. Before she knew it, the lunch bell had rung and nearly everyone had left the classroom. The only students who remained were Koizumi, Mori, Obuchi, Katou, and herself. Finally breaking away from her thoughts, Kotonoha found the other four girls, those same girls who bullied her day in and day out, standing in front of her ready to continue their ceaseless hobby of tormenting her.
"What happened to little miss perfect?" Koizumi began. "You don't care about anything any more. Do you?"
Kotonoha remained silent. Her purportment as gloomy as ever.
"It's because her boyfriend's gone." added Obuchi.
"You're really hilarious." laughed Mori. "Itou cheats on you, dumps you, sleeps with just about every girl in the school, gets a girl pregnant, and you still get back together with him! You're pathetic! It's no wonder he left!"
Koizumi and the others all began to laugh as well.
"You know, he might not have run away. Maybe he's just-"
"Stop it, Natsumi!" Katou shouted.
"Look Otome, I know you liked him, but aren't you the one who said he changed? Aren't you the one who said he wasn't a good guy anymore? Why do you care?" Koizumi countered.
"That doesn't mean I want him dead! Even if he has become a jerk."
"No." Kotonoha finally replied. "Makoto-kun is not a bad person. It's bitches like you who seduce my Makoto-kun and make him think he needs anyone else but me. You're all the pathetic ones. You can talk about what you guys did with him all you want, but in the end I win. He loves me. You're just angry because he'll never love any of you.
"You idiot," Mori began "We never wanted him to love us. Besides, I already have a boyfriend."
Katou looked down at the floor; her face taking on a more grave expression.
"If you already have a boyfriend, then why would you sleep with Makoto-kun?" Kotonoha asked.
"Because- because I thought it would be fun."
"Fun?" The girls heard a voice say. They turned to it's source at the doorway stood a boy about there age with short brown hair. "But I thought you loved me. I thought you said that you didn't want to be with anyone else."
"Keiichi, I-"
"Don't bother, Kumi. It's over between us." Keiichi ran out of the room, heartbroken.
Mori fell to her knees and began to cry. Her friends knelt down to comfort her.
Kotonoha began to laugh hysterically. How wonderful. That slut got what she deserved.
"What an amazing twist of fate." Kotonoha laughed. "It's funny. The wicked never feel regret until something bad happens."
"You fucking bitch!!!" Mori yelled as she tackled Kotonoha to the floor and delivered several slaps to Kotonoha's cheeks before getting up and running out of the classroom. Teardrops peppered Kotonoha's uniform as well as the floor around her. As the seemingly soulless girl began to regain her composure, she heard the bell ring. She had missed lunch.
Sekai picked up Makoto's phone with a wide grin.
"Lets see what messages she's sent you today. Okay, Makoto?"
Makoto responded with the same piercing glare he had given her so many times before. This glare was the only response Makoto could make. His feet were tied to the chair. His hands were bound to the pole behind him. His mouth was gagged and taped shut. Sekai noticed that Makoto's water bottle was empty. This bottle was dangled by a string that it was taped to a string in front of Makoto. It was clear and had a top connected to a straw that ended in Makoto's mouth among the sock and taped around. Makoto's glare; this sole form of communication was the only way he could express the utter hatred he felt for Sekai. But why did he hate her so much? All she wanted to do was be with him. Sekai sighed. He'd love her again soon enough. In the mean time, she could get a good laugh at how pathetic Katsura-san is.
"Let's see, ooh. This one reads:
'Makoto-kun, please come home. If you do, I'll let you do anything you want to me.'
How sweet. Oh and this one says:
'My mom has been teaching me how to cook better. Come home and I'll make you whatever you like.'
Hmmm....ooh, this is a good one:
'I've been getting to know your mother. We both miss you a lot. I think she really likes me too. She says that I would make a great girlfriend for you. Please come home soon.'
Oh, hey this one's from today: 'Happy Birthday, Makoto. Please return soon so you can open the present I got you. I think you'll really love it since I did my absolute best making it.'
It's too bad you'll never get to have Katsura's present." Sekai happily declared. "I guess you'll just have to settle for mine. But before any of that I should probably feed you. After all, I bet you haven't had anything to eat since my last visit. You know the rules." she said, picking up a knife. "If you scream, I'll cut your throat."
Sekai saw Makoto cringe as she peeled the tape from his face.
What a wimp.
She then pulled the sock out of his mouth and reached over to get the food. In a bag she had two burgers from Pier Burger and two cartons of fries.
"Th-thirsty." Makoto wheezed.
" Of course." Sekai replied as she picked up the soda she had bought him and put the straw to his mouth.
Makoto drank most of the soda all at once. He must have been more thirsty than she thought.
"You know," he finally said. "You can't keep me here forever. Eventually they'll find me. So please, just end it now. Kill me."
"No." Sekai replied. "That night I chose to let you live and I intend to keep you alive. I love you. Besides, don't you want to see our child grow up?" Sekai rubbed her belly and smiled.
"What about your mom? Have you told her yet?" he asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, I told her last week. She was really mad at first, but the weird thing is that now she's okay with it. She even promised to take me to find out the baby's sex. And speaking of last week, I heard Katrura-san got into a fight."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Apparently, a few of the girls from her class ambushed her on her way to the train station. I think it was because she told one of the girl's boyfriends she was cheating on him. I'm not entirely sure on the details, but that's what Hikari told me."
"It's all my fault." Makoto sobbed.
"How is it your fault?" Sekai asked.
"If I had been there, they wouldn't have been able to-"
"Shhh." Sekai said as she pushed his head into her breasts to comfort him.
"It's okay. Don't worry about her. She deserved what happened to her. She tried to take you away from me when I needed you far more than she did. Let's not talk about her any more. Okay?"
Sekai returned with an anguished appearance. She quickly shut the door behind her as she breathed heavily. Her face held a twisted smile. As with all of her other visits, she had a bag in her hand. The only difference was that fact was that it didn't look like she was carrying food in it"
"You were right. They will find you." She quickly admitted. "Unless there's nothing left to find."
