I think this couldn't be any better, honestly. Writing something for the twisted part of my mind. It's nice getting all of the murderous thoughts out of my body and into my computer. Then I don't have to carry them out. Please. enjoy the chapter.


All of the teens were preparing for bed. Showers were being run, baths drawn, nightclothes donned and, in some cases, stuffed animals fluffed. It was the most normal thing that had happened to the group since the murders started and they were all happy for this welcome reprieve. As Miyabi and Hokuto laid on their beds, they wondered what could have happened to Kiria. Even someone as suave as the golden-haired boy wasn't good enough to disappear without a trace without outside help and, if Tsukune was telling the truth, no one could get in or out.

Ura and Omote spoke over what Ura had found in the bathroom, realizing that the clue could have gotten them both into serious trouble had anyone else found it.

"We need to keep this under wraps, understood?" Ura told her sister.

"But they're our friends!" Omote pouted. "You can't just-."

"We have to!" Ura sighed in exasperation. "Please? For me?" The pinkette gazed at the pleading red eyes and nodded, grasping the choker around her sister's neck as a promise.

Down the hall and completely oblivious to the twins' conversation, Kurumu sighed with happiness as she stepped into the steaming water. Closing her eyes in rapture, the succubus-like girl blindly grabbed her shower gel and began washing herself, lathering her breasts longer for an extra shine to the large mounds of flesh.

Across the hall, Fang-Fang and Xia-Ling practiced their sword fighting, both feeling most comfortable around the other since Fang-Fang knew that Xia-Ling would never kill his own cousin and Xia-Ling was confident that Fang-Fang couldn't kill anyone without enough motive. As the pair were taking a break, Fang-Fang headed to the bathroom to wash his face free of sweat.

A bit further down the hall, Mizore was in the middle of running bathwater. She had chosen a different room since Kurumu was taking a shower in their room. She adjusted the temperature to a much cooler feel than most would find comfortable, but she found it quite pleasant.

Kurumu turned her back to the shower head, reaching for her shampoo so that she could bring her hair to the same sparkle as her skin. However, she stopped when she spotted something red dripping down her arm. Bringing her hand up, she shook with terror and quickly turned around. The shower head was spraying red liquid all over her. Taking in a deep breath, the azulette gave a high ringing scream.

At the same time, Mizore stood to get a towel from the closet in her room. Sifting through the colors, she found a pretty light blue one that suited her perfectly. Returning to the bathroom with a small smile on her face in anticipation for the coming bath, she froze when she found a bathtub full of shining red liquid. Dropping the towel, she backed out of the room, racing down the hall as Kurumu's scream rang in the air.

Fang-Fang paused as he lifted his face from the water, glancing around the bathroom warily. Stopping on the toilet, he noticed something oddly shaped within it and scoffed in disgust. Moving over, he made to flush it, but found that it looked familiar. Looking more closely, he recognized it as the sword that Kiria could form from his arm. It was folded and smashed, but it was definitely the sword. Leaping back from the toilet, he took off out of the room and down the hall as Kurumu's scream penetrated the air.

Everyone slid to a stop in front of the blue-haired girl's room and found Kurumu covered only by a towel and freaking out. She was covered in red liquid and appeared to be crying. Tsukune moved forward and the distraught girl practically threw herself at him, clutching him tight.

"Th-there's blood in the water system!" she shrieked.

"Yeah, I saw it too." Mizore agreed, nodding her head. "Who's could it be?"

"Kiria's." Fang-Fang told them. "I found a piece of his body in our toilet."

"In your toilet?" Hokuto shouted, tears coming to his eyes at the thought that his boyfriend could potentially be dead. Tsukune moved to Kurumu's bathroom and found an arm in her toilet.

"So…" Aqua gulped. "Someone somehow got past all of us, killed Kiria, took his body and cut it up and stuck it into all of the toilets all without making a sound and without Kiria alerting us that he was in trouble?"

Kahlua held Kokoa close as all of the teenagers huddled together, wondering what they would do now.

"If they could take out Kiria," Miyabi murmured, keeping Kahlua within his eyesight. "Then whoever they are, they're pretty powerful."

"Hey…" Tsukune glanced around, noting the lack of both pink or silver hair. "Where are Omote and Ura?"

Kokoa, Aqua and Yukari gasped in horror, but gave sighs of relief when they heard a shout from down the hall. They all turned to see Ura and Omote rushing toward them, clothed only in bathrobes.

"Where were you?" Tsukune asked sharply.

Ura stopped Omote, not liking the boy's tone. Red eyes narrowing, she stalked forward until she stood right in front of the rich boy. "We were in our room." She told him coldly. "Omote and I were getting ready for bed. We had just finished showering when we heard Kurumu's scream. We would have come more quickly, but Omote saw something outside, near the beginning of your forest."

"Just finished showering?" Gin inquired. "Does that mean-."

"Something near the forest?" Kahlua asked.

"-that you two-."

"Yes." Ura sighed.

"-were showering together?"

"What was it?" Aqua inquired curiously as Kokoa punched Gin in the nose and sent him slamming into a wall.

Ura turned to her, eyes serious, and stated, "Routier."

Xia-Ling gasped and moved forward, grabbing her shoulders and pulling her close. "Was she alright?"

Ura had frozen when he had grabbed her and now her eyes shone brightly. Bringing up her leg, she swung it around, twisting her body and slamming her foot right into Xia-Ling's head. "Don't… touch… me." She snarled angrily, her entire form shaking.

"My cousin could have potentially survived and you're worried about me touching you?" Xia-Ling demanded incredulously, making Ura's eyes narrow even further.

Before a fight could break out, Kahlua stepped in. "You said you saw Routier?" she asked softly of the pinkette. Omote nodded, moving closer to Ura.

"She was…" Omote closed her eyes and took a breath. "She was…"

"She was what?" Xia-Ling roared, grasping hold of Omote and shaking her frantically. Ura swung her leg once more and this time, she smashed him into the wall down the hall.

"Don't… touch… her." She growled lowly, her eyes closed as if she were trying to control herself.

"My cousin-!"

"Is dead."

Xia-Ling stopped at the softly spoken ending. "W-what?"

"She was near the edge of the forest. She must have found a way out. There were footprints leading up to where she was, two pairs. It was obvious she had been trying to get help, but whoever did this got to her before she could. Her chainsaw was lying next to her, bloody."

"Then maybe she wounded whoever is doing this!" Yukari cheered. "And hopefully fatally enough that they die." Tsukune saw Omote cringe and Ura take a step back in trepidation.

"I don't think so." The albino girl said smoothly, no trace of apprehension in her.

"Why's that?" Xia-Ling asked.

"Because the chainsaw was lying next to her head."

"So?" Fang-Fang inquired.

"Her head was five yards away from her right hand and three feet away from her left."

She paused to let this sink in. All of the teenagers looked at each other. With a roar of fury, Xia-Ling leaped forward and threw a punch for Ura's jaw. The silver-haired girl easily blocked it and she eyed him calmly.

"What are you doing now?" she sighed in a bored tone, deflecting more punches.

"You bitch!" the usually-calm boy howled, attacking at every angle he could think of. "You killed my cousin!"

"And what makes you think that?" Ura raised an eyebrow, raising her leg to block a kick.

"You're too calm talking about this! How do we know you didn't kill the others too? You already had a vendetta against Saizo for attacking your sister in the cafeteria. Kuyou scared your little sister and Keito was probably collateral damage for being in on it. Kiria's always acting better than you and him scaring Omote would be a good cover motive for killing him."

"What reason would I have for killing Routier?" Ura asked, interested in his answer. "Your cousin has done nothing to me. We don't talk, we hardly pass in the hall, she stays away from me and I do the same for her. Why would I kill her?"

"To stop the police from coming." Ruby interrupted the battle with her feather knives. "It would make sense, after all. Routier found a way to escape, found some officers and brought them here. There would be an investigation and they would find out it was you. So you had to get rid of her before she spilled."

"There's just one thing wrong with your accusation." Ura told her.

"What's that?" Ruby smirked.

"At the time that Routier went missing, I was still with the group. Considering how expansive the Aono land is, the estimation that Routier would have made it to the forest ten minutes before we all split up for our rooms is fairly accurate and therefore, I couldn't have been the one to kill her. Not only that, but the spacing between the footsteps outside are wide enough to show that Routier was running from the person chasing her, causing her to speed up and thereby reach the forest edge faster than the estimation. I was still with all of you, as was Omote."

The teens stared at her in surprise and Ura pinned them all in her red gaze. "I have to observe things more closely than the rest of you. Albinos have horrible vision."

"Well, uh…" Haiji and Gin shared glances, moving closer to San, eyeing the red-eyed girl closely. "M-maybe we should all just… stay in small groups." Yukari moved with Ruby, the Shuzen grils and Miyabi gathered together, Tsukune stuck with Kurumu and Mizore as Xia-Ling and Fang-Fang stood together with Hokuto. That left Omote to pair with Ura and she glanced at her sister to make sure she was alright. Ura turned away from them all to conceal the hurt in her eyes and she moved in the opposite direction of the other groups.

"Where are you going?" Kurumu shouted.

"Why does it matter." Ura called. "So long as it's away from all of you so that no one else is murdered, I see no reason for you to know where I'll be."

This made the majority of the other teens realize that they were being kind of unfair and they followed after the twins, keeping a slight bit of distance, still a bit wary of the pair. Ura led them all to a large room with plenty of space for them all to spread out and everyone was happy to be out of the slightly cramped hallway.

A shadow near one of the large barred windows watched the teens space out and relax. The large red eyes swiveled around and landed on Ruby. The witch had moved over to her own space and was reading one of the magic books she had brought from the sitting room. Seeing the girl so calm and content after saying those things out in the hall made the red eyes narrow. Blood boiled angrily and the eyes closed, the figure sinking into the shadows.

Ruby felt a chill run up her spine and she glanced around at all of her friends. She cocked her head before glancing over to where the twins were sitting alone. Her blood froze when she noticed that Ura wasn't with Omote and she stood, ready to call out to the others. Before she could make a sound, something dropped from the ceiling and wrapped around her mouth, pulling her back up with it.

Minutes later, Omote and Ura looked around at their friends and noticed that something was off.

"Do you feel as if someone's missing?" Omote asked. "Yes." Ura sighed. "It's Ruby."

"Where could she have gone?"

Ura shot her sister a speculative glance before saying calmly, "I don't know, but one thing's for sure: if she isn't found soon, she'll be dead just as quickly."


Ruby's gone… Ruby go bye-bye… I've found that I'm very mean to Ruby a lot. I need to write an apology fic to her cause I cast her as a bitch an awful lot… Anyway, you guys go ahead and review for me, cause this was one of my favorite chapters to write.
