Thanks for your encouragement. Even if my English isn't perfect, I'll do my best for you!
ps: I have a break this week from school, but I have a cold. How unlucky am I!?
It was a relief for Otoya when Shiena came back to the apartment. She was worried to have left the brunette alone, especially alone into the house with the culprit. She regretted to have obeyed to Shiena, Otoya thought that she should have stay with her. This person was the one who tried to kill her girlfriend, it was dangerous to Shiena to be in the same place. Otoya hoped that she stayed hide and quits immediately after seeing the culprit's identity. Seeing Shiena came back unharmed was such a relief for Otoya.
"Shiena!" shouted Otoya. "Are you alright? Did you see the culprit?"
The serial killer noticed Shiena's blank eyes. The brunette seemed to be tormented by something, probably by the culprit's identity. Otoya approached from her girlfriend, worried about her.
"Shiena, what happened? Who is it?" she asked.
"It's…Kamikuro-sensei…"
"Huh? You mean your teacher, Kamikuro Reiko!?"
Otoya remembered that her girlfriend told her about Reiko after she killed Tanaka. Shiena noticed Midori's presence, lying on the couch, still sleeping. Her hands were still tied together in her back.
"Sasoriza leff Collective Dismissal" began to say Shiena. "Kamikuro-sensei is a member of my group, maybe it explained Sasoriza's presence into her house. She probably abducted her, maybe it was an order from Yukarin or someone else from the group…"
"She was tortured, Shiena. Your teacher was torturing Midori-chan"
The brunette remained quiet for a moment. First, she thought that maybe Reiko had tortured Midori because someone from the group asked her to, but it was impossible. Collective Dismissal would never allow torture, they usually killed their target quickly and in a painless death. Torture was comparable to bullying for them, they wouldn't never do such a thing, even to a traitor like Midori.
"That can't be true, Kamikuro-sensei is not that kind of person!" protested Shiena. "She's the sweetest teacher that I never had! How could she do something like that, she must have a reason to…"
"Shiena, don't forget she's the one who tried to kill you, the one who lock you up into a freezer…"
"You can't prove it!" suddenly shouted Shiena, furious. "That can't be her, I won't accept this! This must be a mistake, a misunderstanding…"
The brunette fell on a chair, distraught. She couldn't believe that her dear teacher, a fellow member from Collective Dismissal and her first crush, could have such bad intention toward her.
"You found her IP address, she's the one who was hacking you! What other proof do you need?! Why did she spy on you? This is suspicious. I don't say that to hurt you, but you need to understand that your teacher might be not the person you think she is…" said Otoya.
"Shut up!" suddenly shouted Midori, awake. "I try to sleep…"
Shiena went out of her torpor and approached from the green haired girl, before grabbing her collar.
"Why the hell you where at Kamikuro-sensei's house?!" asked the brunette, aggressive.
"Huh? Shiena-san? What am I doing at your apartment? And why am I tied up?!"
Midori seemed to be a little bit worried. Otoya took advantage of it to get a little revenge on her.
"Midori-chan, you said to me that I could to whatever I want to you, don't you remember? You know, there have other things I can do to you other than killing you or torturing you, if you know what I mean…" began to say the serial killer with a smirk.
"Otoya! It's not the time for your rape jokes" rebuked the brunette. "Sasoriza, is that true, that Kamikuro-sensei abducted you and tortured you?"
Even if she asked this question, Shiena was kind of scared to hear Midori's answer.
"Yes, this is true" answered the green haired girl.
It seems Shiena was right to fear her answer. The brunette went back to her chair and sat back.
"Can you please untie me?" asked Midori. "It's not like I'll attack you or…"
"No" simply answered Otoya, before sitting beside Midori, to whisper something to her. "Shiena is depressed about her teacher, Kamikuro-sensei. If you know something that can clarify this situation, you better say it now"
"Huh? Why she's depressed because of her?"
The serial killer slightly stroked Midori's thigh, the one that was injured, thanks to Otoya. Before that Shiena came back, Otoya had put a bandage on Midori's injury.
"Ask her" ordered Otoya. "Don't forget who your savior is. Without me you'll still be tortured by Kamikuro-san"
"Untie me first"
With some hesitations, Otoya finally freed Midori. She was more concerned about her girlfriend's feelings than her rancor toward the green haired girl.
"Shiena-san, I don't know what's happen between you and Kamikuro-san. If you tell me, maybe I could help you understand why she did this…"
"Someone was harassed me recently and even tried to kill me" began to say Shiena. "It seems like it was…it was…"
The brunette couldn't finish her sentence, but Midori understood who she was talking about.
"You think that Kamikuro-san tried to kill you?" It seems unlikely to me"
Shiena suddenly rose up from her chair and approached from the green haired girl.
"Really, you think she couldn't do something like that to me? Why?" asked the brunette, with some hope.
The brunette sat on the other side of Midori, waiting for her answer. The green haired girl felt a little bit uncomfortable to be between Otoya and Shiena.
"The reason why she did this to me was because I attacked you" began to explain Midori. "When I was at the hospital after my fight with Otoya-san, she came to see me and she threatened me to not try to kill Shiena-san. Since I attacked you, Kamikuro-san thought that I might try to kill you, so she went mad"
"So, it would be illogical to her to be the one who tried to kill me" concluded Shiena.
"Well" continued Midori, "this woman is completely nuts. She seems like the kind of person who could protect and tried to kill the same person…"
"Kamikuro-sensei isn't crazy!" protested the brunette.
The green haired girl suddenly rose up and stood in front of Shiena, serious.
"Shiena-san, this woman abducted and tortured me, do you think that kind of behavior is normal?"
"Well, if she's concern about me, it's normal that she was mad after you and wanted to get revenge…" said the brunette.
"What did you do when I tried to kill Otoya-san?" asked Midori.
Shiena stayed silent for a moment, confused by this sudden question.
"I tried to kill you, even if I couldn't after all…"
"Did you want to capture and torture me?" asked the green haired girl.
"Of course not! How could I do this to someone else, I'll never torture someone…" answered the brunette.
Shiena suddenly understood what Midori meant by this question.
"Do you understand, Shiena-san? This isn't normal to kidnap and torture someone, even if it's for revenge. Only people like me or Otoya-san would do that. You know, sadist people, sociopaths or psychopaths. I abducted Otoya-san and tortured her, this is the same thing that Kamikuro-san did to me. Do you really think that this woman is still mentally healthy?"
Otoya rose up too and face her girlfriend.
"I confirm, if someome dared try to hurt you, I'll probably be tempted to make this person suffer for a long time" said the serial killer.
Shiena stayed on the couch, still wanted to defend her dear teacher.
"I don't care if Kamikuro-sensei is a sociopath or something like that, I trust her and I know she won't hurt me! This is a setup against me, the real culprit wants to hurt me by making me doubt of Kamikuro-sensei, I won't fall for this trap!" shouted Shiena. "I am in love with Otoya! If sensei is like her, than who am I to judge her?"
The brunette put her hands on her eyes, almost about the cry. Otoya sat beside her and suddenly hugged her girlfriend.
"So even if I'm a sociopath or a psychopath, you still love me? Do you accept me fully, me and my past?" asked the serial killer.
"Of course I accept you, otherwise I won't be dating you" answered Shiena.
"And do you trust me like you trust your teacher?"
"I doubted Kamikuro-sensei, but I'll never doubt you. My trust for you is greater than the trust I have for everyone else"
Otoya gently stroked Shiena's cheek and approached her lips from hers. Seeing that they were about to kiss, Midori interrupted them. She didn't want to see such affection in front of her.
"Don't flirt in front of me, you stupid love birds!" shouted weakly Midori. "Really, I don't need to see such a thing…"
The green haired girl began to feel dizzy. She closed her eye and fell on the couch, right on Otoya.
"What the…hey, don't fall asleep on me!" complained Otoya.
"Sasoriza! Why did she fall unconscious like that?" asked the brunette.
"Sleep deprivation" simply answered Otoya. "We should put her on the couch and let her sleep"
The two girls lifted Midori and lay her down on the couch. The green haired girl seemed to peacefully sleep. After all the torture she endured, she deserved some rest. Otoya slightly touched her eye-patch, grinning.
"You know Shiena, she probably won't wake up before a long time, she's completely vulnerable right now, if you know what I mean…"
"I said enough with your rape jokes!"
Dammit Otoya, rape jokes aren't funny, stop that!
So, do you think Reiko is the culprit? If she is, why would she tried to kill Shiena?
If you think it's someone else, who do you think is the culprit and why?
