Chapter 02 - Love Hurts - [In] Sanity Arc
The day after Kija's execution, Kishimaru personally waited for Kujo.
"What're you doing here? Won't everyone being wondering about us?" Kujo asked, somewhat tired.
"That's what this is about." Kishimaru replied.
"Huh?"
"After our little Kija-Runo incident, do you think anyone can be trusted?"
"You do realize you contradicted your own point right?"
"..."
Kujo lifted his hand up and lightly threw it down on Kishimaru's head.
"So what's your point?"
"I'm saying-"
"You're saying I should be trembling in fear because we're alone without someone who can come and help me if you try to kill me."
"You done?"
"Sure Mr. Inferencer."
"Ass."
"Ever gonna continue?"
Kishimaru sighed and obliged, "What I'm saying, is that the little bonds everyone made before the murder could probably have been broken."
"So?"
"So that would be a problem."
"Why are you acting so friendly then?"
"Because trust is important."
"Yeah, to trick the victim."
"WILL YOU STOP IT!"
"Look, If you wanna talk about losing trust, you gotta be prepared to lose some yourself."
"Well I'm serious, you can trust me."
"Don't worry, I do trust you."
"Okay, any-"
"We should get to the Canteen before something happens."
"Oh, okay."
The boys went to the canteen to find no one there. Then the Trash Room, then even oddly enough, the courtroom.
"Where is everyone?" Kujo wondered.
"Yeah... That's odd." Kishimaru agreed.
They were about to leave when they heard Kija's picture post get knocked over. before they could turn though, they were both struck by something, likely a steel bat, only hard enough to knock them out.
After a few hours, Kujo awoke to Miura's rambling and looked around ignored everyone's questions. He saw the little boy with the unknown name shaking Kishimaru's body. Before someone could stop him, Kujo was at Kishimaru, but before being able to something about Kishimaru, Eno restrained him.
"Hey! What're you guy's doing!?" Kujo yelled, struggling against Eno's almost otherworldly grip.
"Keeping you away from your murder victim." Reon claimed.
"What are you talking about!?"
"We're talking about this." Miura said almost calmly as he lifted Kishimaru up and revealed a giant bled out gash on the back of his head.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?"
Reon struck Kujo in the face to knock him back unconscious for just enough time for him to wake up on the elevator to the Courtroom.
"Wait! You guys are making a mistake!" were the first words out of his mouth.
Everyone ignored him and were talking among themselves. But Kujo noticed Reon acting a little off, but for fear of the next infliction he may receive, he stayed quiet.
By the way, sorry for making this chapter so short. i wasn't really into the idea of making it so short, but my head kept saying "1st victim, 2nd floor". It reminded me of after Leon's execution and made it so it could be imagined as the two sleeping in a little and missing everyone. I also never really intended for Kishimaru to be victim 2 but it made me think of the fun i can have with the trial. Sorry again though everyone.
