Well, finally I took the time to write this chapter, you won't have to wait until Monday.

Shiena's hand was shaking, while she was pressing the gun on Midori's forehead. Why did she hesitate? This girl had brutally tortured her girlfriend and tried to kill her three times. The brunette had lost her urge to kill, she couldn't pull the trigger. She was still furious against the green haired girl, but she also had pity of her. Midori seemed so miserable right now, so desperate, she even began to beg to be killed. But if she doesn't kill her, how Shiena could be sure that Midori won't come back to try to kill Otoya again?

The brunette began to recoil, still pointing her gun at Midori. Shiena suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. The hand began to slightly stroke her arm, before gently grabbing Shiena's hand.

"Let me do it" whispered Otoya. "You don't have to dirty your hands for her"

Shiena hesitated, she didn't want Midori to die, she didn't want Otoya to kill someone, but in this situation, what other choice did she have?

"Don't worry, I'll do it quickly and painless, I won't even have pleasure by killing her" said the serial killer.

Finally, Shiena let Otoya take the gun. The serial killer approached from Midori, ready to shoot her. The green haired girl didn't protest, whether Shiena or Otoya who killed her, it would be the same result. The brunette turned back. She didn't want to see this.

"Any last words?" asked the serial killer.

"I hate you, Takechi-san" said Midori with a smirk.

"Well, the feeling is mutual"

Shiena suddenly remembered the second antidote that Midori had. The brunette understood what her true intention was by coming back. She wanted to save Otoya, the green haired girl probably didn't have the intention to try to kill the serial killer again.

"Wait, Oto…"

But it was too late. The serial killer had shot. The brunette turned herself rapidly, in shock.

"Sasoriza!" shouted Shiena.

The green haired girl's eyes were empty, she was paralyzed by the fear. Otoya had a pain's spasm when she tried to shoot Midori, she missed her head. The bullet slightly touched Midori's shoulder. The gun fell on the ground.

"You're lucky, Midori-chan" said Otoya.

Midori jumped on the weapon and took it. She rose up and pointed the gun at Otoya, before pointing it at Shiena. After a moment from hesitation, the green haired girl ran away once again. The brunette looked at her girlfriend, worried. The serial killer had bandaged her injured arm with a piece of cloth. She didn't look well.

"Otoya, what happened? Did you let your arm bleed enough?"

"I thought so, but I just begin to feel the burning sensation again, when I tried to kill…"

Suddenly, Otoya fell on the ground. She didn't evacuate all the poison from her body, and now it was too late to make her bleed again, the poison wasn't only in her arm anymore.

"Otoya!" shouted Shiena, terrified.

The brunette spotted the flask with the antidote on the ground. Midori didn't take it back. Shiena wasn't sure if it was on purpose or just an oversight, but it wasn't important now. She took the flask and approaching from Otoya. She tried to make the serial killer drink the antidote, but she didn't open her mouth. Shiena noticed that Otoya was unconscious. The brunette approached the flask from her own mouth and drank it, but she kept the antidote into her mouth. She opened Otoya's lips and pressed hers against them, forcing the antidote into her throat. When she was sure that the serial killer drank it all, Shiena broke the kiss.

"Please, Otoya, wake up!"

But she kept her eyes closed. Shiena began to cry, believing that her girlfriend was dead. Her tears fell on the serial killer's face.

"Shiena…?"

Otoya opened her eyes. Seeing her girlfriend crying, Otoya couldn't do anything else than stroking Shiena's cheek and wipe her tears.

"You don't need to cry, I'm alright now, thanks to you" said Otoya, smiling.

Shiena suddenly hugged her, too happy to see Otoya alive.

"Hey, Shiena, you know what? This antidote tastes awful"

"Yes, I know" laughed the brunette.

Midori was still there, hid behind one of the motel's wall, watching the entire scene.

"Well, I couldn't deny that they're kind of cute together" she thought.

She saw the couple beginning to walk, holding hands, probably heading to Shiena's apartment. Midori suddenly felt a liquid coming from her uninjured eye. She wiped it, discovering with surprised what it was.

"Tears? Am I…crying? Since when I am able to cry, and why now…?

When they came back to Shiena's apartment, Kouko and Suzu were waiting for them, a little bit worried. Shiena explained to them briefly what happened. They felt a little bit guilty for not coming with Otoya to save her, but the brunette explained that they couldn't know. It was the night, Shiena and Otoya headed to the bedroom, kind of tired after what happened. They put on their pajamas and went to the bed.

"Otoya, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, go ahead"

"Since the beginning, did you know that it was Sasoriza who had kidnapped you?"

Otoya hesitated a little bit to answer.

"Yes"

"Then, why you didn't tell me? Why did you lie to me?" asked the brunette, confused.

The serial killer didn't want to have this conversation, but she should be honest toward Shiena, she had to tell her the truth.

"Because I was…scared" answered Otoya.

"Scared? From what?"

"She was a member from your group, I was scared that you choose your group over me" admitted Otoya.

Shiena suddenly grabbed Otoya's hand under the blanket.

"That's not a question of choice, she's the one who attacked you, even if she was a member of my group, I would never tolerate such an inhuman treat against you" said the brunette.

"But, I killed one of her acquaintances…"

"Torturing and trying to kill you won't bring back to life her friend, she had no right to do this to you"

Otoya approached from her girlfriend and hugged her.

"I love you so much, Shiena. I was ready to die for you"

"I thought that you were really going to die, it made me realise how much I love you too"

Otoya began to snuggle against Shiena's chest.

"I want to sleep with you" began to say Otoya. "I mean, sleeping into your arms"

The brunette wrapped her arms around Otoya's waist, smiling, while her girlfriend closed her eyes, before they both fell asleep.

The morning, Suzu and Kouko entered into Shiena's bedroom. They were still sleeping, snuggling on each other. The older girl smiled, amused.

"Kouko-chan, you can't deny that they're a cute couple"

The black haired girl only gave a "hum" as answer. She left the bedroom, worried about something.

"What happen, Kouko-chan? You seem bothered by something"

"I'm worried for them" admitted Kouko. "If my organisation found me here, they'll not only kill me, but every witness. I envisaged leaving, I don't want something bad happen to them because of me, I could never forgive myself"

Midori is spared...for now.

Is Kouko worries for nothing? You'll see in the next chapter (this time, it's really for Monday)

It's time for Kamikuro-sensei to reveal her identity, it'll be for the next chapter too.
