CHAPTER 13

"W-wipe that pathetic smirk off your face… AKASHI SEIJURO"

I glared at him straight in the face. My eyes were full of defiance. His facial expression changed and was replaced by a look of annoyance.

"The only ones who are allowed to look me in the eye as I speak are those that serve me…" He retorted angrily yet in a calm manner. I knitted my brows at him. Who does he think he is? Someone who is high and mighty?

"Then I guess nobody would be able to look at you in the eyes, that is, if they are dumb enough to serve someone as cocky as you…"

"You mean people like Atsushi?"

"Oh, so that creepy giant serves you? I wouldn't be surprised; he's nothing but an idiot anyway. A big stupid guy like him would most probably stoop low to serve a midget like you." I replied, my eyes still glaring at him. This guy is so annoying, just like that creepy giant. But oh well, birds with the same feather flock together, as they might say.

"tch" I heard the redhead click his tongue "No one that opposes me is allowed to look down on me. You should know your place." He glared back at me, his face turning into a scowl. By this time I can sense that this red head got really pissed off.. Well, I'm really pissed off too…

"The only person who is out of place here is YOU." I said as I pointed at his face.

"You're the one who is sticking your nose unto other people's lives. You shouldn't be- Ouch! H-hey let go!"

The stranger unexpectedly twisted my left arm violently and harshly held it behind my back. He pushed my back down to limit my movements. He got me in a pretty tight spot there, I couldn't move my body. He was wearing his sadistic smirk on his face again. It makes my skin crawl.

"L-let go!" I yelled at him. His grip was getting stronger every second. Hissing at the pain, I tried to struggle to pry my arm free from his hold. But as I was doing so, he twisted my arm even more.

*Crack* *crack*

Just at that very moment I heard my bones pop. A pang of unbearable pain and agony surged from my left arm and spread throughout my body.

"Gahhh!" A cry of pain slipped out off my lips. "What are you d-doing!? Are you insane?! Let go of me-"

"I'd rather not say anything if I were you…That is unless if you want your arm broken…" He whispered huskily as if he is enjoying this. "Now as a disciplinary action for defying me… I have to give you a due punishment."

He then raised his pair of scissors and held it out in front of me. His sickening smirk grew even wider. Tears are starting to pool up in my eyes. The pain is so excruciating that it made my entire left arm numb.

"Now let's see..." he started as he mockingly snipped his scissors. "Which finger should I cut…*snip* *snip*"

My eyes widened. Wh-what?! Is he seriously going to snip my fingers? He really is crazy after all… No wonder that the creepy giant obeyed him willingly; this guy is a monster…

"I've been patient with you all this time, Kasumi… but now…." *snip* *snip*

H-Huh? What does he mean by that? I'm confused as Hell right now…

"Ah, I know, let's cut your index finger so that you would stop pointing at people especially at ME. You know pointing is a rude thing to do…"

I took a big gulp. He's really serious about this. I bit my lip to stop myself from shouting in pain. I can't believe that this guy is a psycho. He really does have the intention to cut my finger, seeing as he, without hesitation, twisted my arm.

I balled my hands into a fist tightly, preventing the wicked redhead from cutting my index finger.

"No, no you shouldn't do that…" he warned me. "I promise I'll execute it as quickly as possible… Now…Kasumi… open your hand…"

"I will never take orders from you!" I growled at him, squirming to break free, but of course, I already knew that resistance is futile. I realized what was coming at me. I know now it was inevitable and regretted ever talking back to this darn monster.

I have to admit at first, what might happen if I made him furious…And now, curiosity killed the cat.

The twisted redhead then forcibly opened the palm of my hand and grabbed my finger. He chuckled manically and slipped my finger in between the sharp blades of his scissors. I forced my eyes shut at bit my lip real hard, preparing for the agonizing pain that will take over.

Powerless in this situation, I really hoped that someone will at least save me. Anyone will do. Even if it's that creepy annoying giant. Come to think of it, he has always been there when I'm caught into some crazy mess… I guess that it's because he is the one who caused such troubles anyway….but right now… I really need him…

Right at the verge of cutting, I heard him speak once more.

"I changed my mind… I'll make it as painful as possible since you defied me one last time. You really need to be taught a lesson…" Slowly, he applied pressure onto the scissors' handle. Fine sharp stainless steel blades, cutting through my digit. I hissed in pain, but I couldn't shout my lungs out. One wrong move means another punishment and I certainly don't want that.

Blood started to trickle down my freshly wounded finger unto my hand, down to my forearm and all the way down, dripping from my elbow. I was writhing in pain. Though the blade hasn't really sliced deep into my flesh yet, the blood wouldn't stop dripping.

With my eyes still closed tightly, I managed to squeak out the throbbing pain I felt inside. It was just too much to handle. I could feel that perverse psycho grin from behind me.

He continued to apply even more pressure to my wound. The blades dug deeper unto my finger. More blood rushed out of the cut. A few drops now visible on the ground. That and the dark, crimson colored stains visible at the back of my uniform.

It was unbearably painful and stinging. This went on like forever or so it seemed like it, since each second that passed by felt like minutes.

Feeling that my body could take no more I almost shrieked in utter suffering. But then let out a small chuckle…

"HEH…"

Hearing this made my eyes gradually open, afraid of what that creepy sadist might say.

"I was just kidding Kasumi~chan…."

He then threw me out of the bench, making me roughly land on the concrete ground. Using my uninjured arm, I used it to take all the impact to avoid upsetting my left limb.

"I'm not going to cut your finger…It would be such a shame in wasting it…" He stated nonchalantly.

"M-monster…" I wheezed. I glowered at him at the corner of my eyes while holding my damaged arm. His face turned into an annoyed expression and looked at me with disgust reflected in his eyes. His gaze made my bones shiver; it is as if those heterochromatic eyes were scrutinizing my aching figure and devouring my very soul, sending me to the burning pits of hell itself.

"Don't worry, you're arm isn't fractured… YET" He said as he wiped away the blood drippings from his shears. "It's just a torn ligament; it will have to take more force for me to actually break that arm of yours."

I carefully tried to lift my body from my position and sat up. I continued to glare at him while groaning at the pain. He's crazy, he's insane… He's a PSYCHOPATH. A normal person would never do something so horrible, to a girl nonetheless!

"But remember this Kasumi, the next time you defy me, I will make sure that there won't be any mercy, Am I understood?"

I nodded frantically, my body quivering in fear. His words were sharp as a knife, each word stabbing my throbbing body, making it shiver under his gaze. This guy, he is not to be messed with. I couldn't even blink my eyes because of the sheer horror I am experiencing. I didn't think that someone could be so intimidating. He would actually do violent things just to have his way.

The scissors-wielding psychopath then casually walked towards me, who was still sitting on the ground, and bent his knees so that he could be at my eye level. Taking out his scissors, he placed it under my chin, lifting my face to make me stare back at him in horror.

"I don't know how you knew my name but you missed one crucial information about me… I am absolute… No one is to defy me in any way… And since I always win, I'm always right. If you oppose me... I'll kill you, no matter who you are..."

He then removed the sharp object from my chin which made my head hang low, eyes falling unto the ground. He…is… so daunting…

"I think that is all, I have to take my leave." He said as he started to walk away from me. "Please heed my words, stay away from Atsushi. If you don't… then… you'll know what will happen."

And with that, he left, never to be seen again, leaving me injured and dripping with blood. I looked down and just pondered on the last thing he said.

Oh shucks, what will happen? I honestly don't know or have any idea…

Or perhaps… He's planning to hurt Murasakibara-kun, just like what he did to me… What the hell, he's hurting people! Well I know that I shouldn't think of this but… If worst comes to worst, he really is going to hurt him…

The feeling of fear soon subsided from my mind and I felt a wave of anger wash over me. How dare he… I did nothing to deserve such thing… I didn't do anything wrong to him! And yet he…he… I'M GOING TO CRUSH HIM. I don't care who he is, nobody who twists my arms and tries to cut my finger can get away with it. I have to stay strong…

I lifted my swelling arm, wincing at the pain, and looked at my wounded finger. It looks like it's in a very terrible state right now… I need to treat it immediately, good thing I can still walk. I have to make my way to the nearest clinic…

Cautiously, I tried to stand up with only one hand supporting me and fortunately, I did without any much difficulty. I slowly got up back at my feet and dragged myself towards the direction of the clinic which is not far away from here.

*Ring* Ring*

A cell phone rang out of the blue. Feeling it's vibration from my pocket, I swiftly got it out using uninjured hand.

"oops.." I said silently to myself as I realized that it wasn't my phone. It was the creepy giant's. I forgot to return it to him…

*ring* *ring*

I flipped it open and read the caller ID.

"Himuro… Tatsuya…"

It's Himuro! Should I answer? I really need some help right now…

*ring* *ring*

Oh God the last time this happened, it was Akashi who called… Should I just leave it like this?

*ring* *ring*

Okay maybe I should just answer this…

"The person you are calling is busy at the moment; please leave your message after the beep." A monotonous voice spoke all of a sudden. Okay guess it's too late…

*Beep*

"Hello Atsushi? Where are you? Akashi just walked past me… Why is he here?"

Akashi just walked past Himuro-kun? But it's been just a minute before that scissors-wielding psychopath left me… Unless… Himuro's here! In this very park! I have to tell him what happened and maybe he can help.

"Did something happen? I'll visit you at your house…"

I then pressed the button to answer his call.

"Himuro-kun?"

"N-nishino-san?" I heard him reply almost immediately. That's strange, how did he know it was me? And what's more, his voice didn't sound like it came from the phone… It was louder, and clearer too… It's like he is just somewhere close by…

"Nishino-san! Are you alright?!"

I immediately felt someone gently hold my shoulder behind me. Turning around, I saw Himuro-kun with a look of concern written all over his face.

"Himuro-kun…" I said in relief. It's good to see a familiar face out here.

"What happened? Who did this to you?"

"A-…" I paused. Should I tell him? Maybe Akashi will hurt him as well if he knew.

"I can't tell you…"

Himuro-kun looked at me for a while, as if he already knows who did it… He was waiting for an answer, but then he finally sighed.

"It's okay Nishino-san, you don't have to tell me now… at the moment, we need to go to the clinic…" he said as he tried to help me walk. It's good that he understands… he is such a reliable friend.

He tried to guide me by grabbing my left arm but then lets it go immediately after I flinched.

"Does it hurt?"

"y-yeah… It's just a sprain though..." I said reassuringly, trying my best not to get Himuro-kun worked up worrying about me.

"Did you twist it or something?"

"S-something like that…" I forced out a wry smile, trying to hide the pain that I felt inside. I mustn't tell him… who knows what that psychopath might do…

"*sigh* seriously… I don't know what to do with the two of you… First it was Atsushi to get a sprain and now it's you… Maybe I should just sprain myself to join the party…" Himuro-kun stated half-jokingly while carefully doing his best not to touch my upset arm.

"Hey don't do such things… It isn't funny you know…" I replied seriously, looking at him straight in the eyes.

"haha I know… " He chuckled softly. I can't help but smile at him. His presence made me feel comfortable and at ease.

"Nishino-san, once we get you treated, you have to tell me what happened okay?" He requested, changing the topic. I just nodded my head in response.

"Good… now that aside…" His facial expression changed and shot me a questioning look.

"Why was Atsushi's phone with you?"

My eyes widened.. oh yeah, haha… I still have his phone with me.

"Well about that…"

Took in a deep breath and started explaining…

Himuro-kun…. At least I have you here to help me… I silently thought to myself.
