Kirito's P.O.V~
They showed the same thing everyday for the past two weeks on TV. Woman get murdered, men get murdered. I shivered. "Children getting murdered…." I whispered. Kurumi turned to look at me. I guess she must have heard me.
"Don't worry Kirito. Your daughter will be fine." Kurumi said as she gave me a warm and kind smile.
"How do you know that?"
"Well… I just do."
"This person is killing everyone.. Not just adults but innocent children! How do you know this psychopath wont do anything to Azumi!?" I banged my fist against the table. I blinked. I didn't realize I had gotten so angry about this.. I tried to fix the mess I had created. "It's not that I don't believe you it's just that I'm concerned."
Kurumi was staring at the table then she looked up at me. "I wouldn't kill Azumi Kirito."
"Of course you wouldn't." Why did she look so guilty? I thought as I tried to further analyse her.
"I wouldn't Kill Azumi because Gold cares about her and so do you.. Those other people are just random encounters." Kurumi said as she looked at me then looked down.
I got out of my seat and walked towards her. "Did you do this?" I pointed to the TV. No wonder she was always late getting home.. But. Gold. He always looks perfectly normal. Does he not know about this? Well I'm certainly going to tell him.
Kurumi nodded. "I did."
All of the rage I had been holding suddenly came out. I felt bad that it had to happen this way but I couldn't control myself. I grabbed Kurumi by the collar of her shirt. "Why would you do this?"
Kurumi looked terrified as she tried to take my hand off of her shirt. She wasn't going to answer me as long as I kept acting this way. I had to calm down so I let go of her and she plopped down on the couch.
"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to do that." I looked down feeling ashamed for my actions.
"It's okay.. I deserve it…"
"Why would you kill innocent children?"
"If I didn't kill them they would become orphans." Kurumi said looking up at me.
I turned away from her and walked into my room.
When it was time for Kurumi to do her killing, I walked up to Gold's room and knocked on his door.
"What?" Gold said irritated.
"Can I talk to you about something?"
Gold looked up at me looking more serious this time.
"Sure." He nodded.
"Kurumi… she's been killing lots of people.." I said going straight to the point.
Gold just sighed in relief. I looked at him confused.
"Oh I already know that." He said as he started closing the door. I stopped the door with my foot.
"And you're okay with this?!"
"It's fine. Kurumi does what she wants."
"So you're not going to do anything about this? Are you brainwashed?"
"No. I love Kurumi and whatever path she takes I will follow."
I began glaring at him. "What is wrong with you!?"
"You don't get it do you.. I lost Kurumi once… I don't want to lose her again.. I love her!" He glared back at me.
"She's a killer!"
"I already knew that even before I married her! She was always like that and It didn't matter to me." He looked down.
How could he love someone who kills countless of people? Gold was obviously out of it. If this keeps going.. Then Azumi might get hurt… I have to put an end to this. I have to kill Kurumi. But I can't while Gold is there to protect her. I slowly drew out my sword then quickly stabbed Gold in his chest. Gold's eyes widened but then they closed. "I'm sorry…" I whispered as his body hit the floor. I closed the door then went into my room. Azumi was fast asleep on my bed. "I'll be back Azumi." I smiled as I rubbed her head. After that I locked all the windows and the front and back door then headed towards Kurumi. Wherever she is I'm sure I'll find her eventually.
I found Kurumi, out of all places, at the beach. I walked towards Kurumi taking my sword out. Hopefully she wouldn't notice me and I can get this over with the quickest way possible. However, Kurumi knew from the start that I was there. Kurumi turned around and looked at me, she was holding Gold in her arms. How did she?
"Don't worry I didn't open any doors or windows." She said as she stroked Gold's head.
"How did you know…?" I looked at her dumbfounded.
"I have someone spying on Gold 24/7."
"I see.. well.. You know what I've come to do then."
Kurumi nodded. "But first let me offer you Something."
"I don't want anything from you." I glared at her.
"Oh so you don't want Yomi?" Kurumi said with a mischievous smile. This was the first time Kurumi had ever smiled like that to me. My eyes widened.
"What do you mean by that?" My glare softened.
"I can time travel remember? So I can bring your precious Yomi back." Kurumi kept rubbing Gold's head.
"Yomi… Back?"
I could have Yomi back… Azumi could have her mother back. I could have Yomi back. We could be a normal family. But. If I do get Yomi back then Kurumi will keep killing innocent people. I know I really want Yomi back. I love her more than my own life but, would I really let everyone else die just to have Yomi back?
I gritted my teeth and walked towards Kurumi. I knew what decision I had to make, though I was already regretting my choice.
Kurumi had a menacing grin on her face. I took a deep breath and quickly drew my sword out and stabbed her stomach. Kurumi's grin faded as she dropped Gold's lifeless body and fell towards me. Out of pity, I held on to her.
"Why?" Kurumi whispered.
"I couldn't let other people die. I'm not that selfish."
Except that I was that selfish. If it weren't for Azumi I would have agreed to Kurumi's deal.
"No… Why do you hate me so much?"
"Because I hate killers." I said coldly.
After that Kurumi didn't saw a thing as the took her last breath once again. I slowly placed her on the ground and then began walking home.
When I arrived there were firetrucks and ambulances around my house. I stood completely frozen as I gazed into the house engulfed in flames. I collapsed onto the ground. I had made the wrong choice. In the end I was the one who killed Azumi. I had killed my whole family. Yomi, Gold, Kurumi, and now Azumi.
