Shiena brutally fell on the ground, knocking her head. She didn't fell by accident, someone had pushed her voluntarily. The brunette wiped the blood that was coming from her forehead and raised her head. She wanted to see the face of her assailant. Shiena almost began to cry when she saw the two students in front of her.

"It was you…no, this is impossible…why? Aren't you supposed to be my friends?" asked the brunette.

The Mikage twins began to laugh meanly, really amused by Shiena's naivety.

"Look at her Tatsuya, she's still thinking that we are her friends. How cute and…dumb" said Hiyori.

"That is so cute that I want to bully her even more" said Tatsuya.

Shiena rose up. She was about to cry. Her new friends were bullies. She looked at them, hurted by their sudden betrayal. When the brunette tried to run away, Hiyori grabbed her hair and pushed her again on the ground.

"That's not good, fluffynerd" said Hiyori, smirking. "You shouldn't run away, otherwise we'll have to punish you even more…"

"We only plan to bully you and beat you up a little, but since you tried to escape, we'll have to be harsher on you" added Tatsuya.

"If I remember well, you're attracted to girls. Well, Tatsuya, you know what you have to do to humiliate and make suffer Kenmochi-san…" said Hiyori, laughing.

Tatsuya smiled in a perverted way while he was gazing Shiena with lust. Understanding what will happen to her, the brunette began to panic and tried to run. Hiyori grabbed Shiena and restrained her, while her brother kneeled in front of his victim. The brunette was now lying on the ground. Hiyori was still restraining her, while Tatsuya grabbed Shiena's skirt.

"Please don't do this, stop! I'm begging you, stop this! I don't want this, don't touch me. STOP, NO!" screamed Shiena.

"S-stop, please stop! Otoya! Help me, OTOYA!" shouted the brunette in her sleep.

Otoya suddenly woke up when she heard her girlfriend say her name and asking for help. The serial killer looked around her, worried about Shiena. She was relieved when she saw Shiena next to her in the bed. The brunette was still asleep and she was crying, still calling for help.

"It's just a nightmare" thought Otoya.

Otoya was relieved to see that Shiena wasn't in danger. It was only a nightmare, no need to be worried. But, even if she was extremely insensitive toward people, Otoya couldn't stay indifferent toward Shiena's pain.

"Shiena, wake up! Stop crying, I'm here with you!"

Otoya spoke harshly. She wasn't angry, but seeing Shiena crying was really uncomfortable for her. When the brunette opened her eyes, she was gazing her girlfriend in a frightened way. Otoya was worried that Shiena could be scared of her. She was worried that her nightmare might be about her. Otoya smiled the sweetest way she could and gently stroked Shiena's cheek. She was trying to appease the brunette's torment.

"It was only a bad dream, Shiena. You have nothing to fear, I'm here with you. You're safe with me" softly said Otoya.

The brunette seemed to have calmed down, though she was still crying. Otoya wiped Shiena's tears and gave her a soft and chaste kiss on the lips. Otoya suddenly grabbed her girlfriend into her arms and hugged her. Shiena felt a little bit comforted by feeling Otoya's heat on her body.

"Thank you, Otoya. You're the only one I can truly trust, I know that you'll never betray me. I love you." said Shiena with a sleepy voice.

The brunette laid her head on Otoya's chest and closed her eyes. The serial killer wasn't sure about what Shiena meant, but she didn't really care for the moment. The only thing that matter right now was that Shiena seemed relieved. Otoya gently stroked her fluffy hair, waiting for her girlfriend to go back to sleep. Otoya couldn't fall asleep if she didn't saw Shiena's peaceful and sleeping face.

Shiena immediately headed to her bedroom when she came back from school. She promptly removed her brown tie and her beige jacket, only keeping her shirt and her skirt from her school uniform. This week had been exhausting and uncomfortable for the brunette. Since Reiko-sensei had told her about the possibility that the Mikage twins were the culprits, Shiena had nightmares every night about them bullying her and even worst. Every day she tried to avoid them at school, which was really unpleasant.

Shiena didn't want to suspect them. Other than the laptop, she didn't have other proofs that they were the culprits. She didn't want to do the same mistake she did with her teacher, she didn't want to accuse them wrongly. The brunette had to find the real culprit, otherwise she would have to ruin her relationship with the three potential suspects.

"This is a trap from Myojo, this is Hashiri's setup" thought Shiena. "They want to torment me, they want to make me think that my friends or Kamikuro-sensei might be the culprit. I won't fall for this trap, I should give them the benefit of the doubt"

Shiena seemed to prefer thinking that a powerful organisation that could kill her and destroy her entire group what was more likely to be the culprit than her new friends and her dear teacher. Even if Myojo being the culprit was more dangerous for her, the brunette thought that it would be fare worst if the culprit was someone she trusted.

The brunette sat on her bed while Otoya suddenly entered into Shiena's bedroom. She was already wearing her pijama, or maybe she didn't remove it this morning, the brunette couldn't know. Otoya's purple hair was a little bit wet.

"Oh, Shiena, I didn't know you had come back" said Otoya. "Sorry, I didn't wait for you to take a shower"

"I don't mind"

Reiko, Tatsuya and Hiyori were still potential suspects, just as Myojo. If they were all not guilty, then the culprit was someone else. Everyone was susceptible to be the culprit, the entire world could be her ennemi. But Shiena was absolutely sure that the culprit couldn't be Otoya. She was the only one she could fully trust. The brunette would never suspect her girlfriend, even if she found proofs of her guiltiness. Shiena would consider those proofs as a trap from the real culprit. It was reassuring to know that at least one person was her ally. Otoya suddenly went sit next to Shiena on the bed.

"You have nightmares every night since few days now" said Otoya. "I'm worried about you, what's bothering you?"

"N-nothing, it's just nightmares about the one who tried to kill me. Since what happened with Kamikuro-sensei, the culprit's identity disturbs me"

Shiena wasn't lying, but it wasn't exactly the truth either. The brunette didn't want to say to Otoya that the Mikage twins were now potentials suspects. The fact that they could be the culprits was what disturbed the most Shiena. If Otoya knew it, she could kill them. Shiena didn't wish for their death, especially if they weren't guilty.

"Your teacher seems to be the only suspect. I know you don't want to hear this, but she's more likely to be the culprit. I still think that I should kill her, just in case…" said Otoya.

That was exactly what Shiena wanted to avoid.

"Wait! She isn't the culprit, she isn't the only suspect" said Shiena, with some hesitation. "There have another potential suspect, it's…Myojo, more exactly, Hashiri Nio"

"Huh? Hashiri-san? What the hell Myojo Academy has to do with this? Why they would try to kill you?"

The brunette remembered that she never talked about this with Otoya. Shiena decided to tell her the truth about what's happened between her and Myojo, more specifically with Nio. She told her that in the past she tried to hack Myojo. She also told that it was the reason why Isuke abducted her, it was Nio's plan to force Shiena to surrender. She revealed that she recently hacked them, which could explain why they are maybe the culprits.

"Well, if Myojo's people are the culprits, I'll have to kill much more people that I expected" said Otoya with a smirk. "Even if Hashiri-san creep me out"

Is she serious? Did Otoya really plan to kill every single person from Myojo, one of the most powerful organisations in the world? Shiena couldn't know if her girlfriend was only joking or if she was clueless about how dangerous was Myojo.

"But Shiena, you hid some important things to me for a long time. Should I forgive you? Or maybe a punishement would be more appropriate…" said the serial killer with a grin.

"T-that wasn't my intention, I just don't think that it was important…"

Otoya suddenly grabbed Shiena's collar and pushed her, pressing her against the bed.

"Of course this was important, dammit! How the fact that an entire organisation want your death couldn't be important!? You should have told me sooner"

"S-sorry, I just…" tried to apologise Shiena.

"No need to be sorry, I'm not mad at you. It's something else that bothers me, something you did…"

"Huh? I did something that bothers you? What?"

"You had called Namatame-san to help you this day. I should understand that you were in danger and that I didn't answer to your call, but I can't. That's not your fault, I'm a jealous and possessive girlfriend sometime. I perfectly know what you felt for Namatame-san in the past and I know that you felt the same thing toward your teacher. You should understand my frustration now"

The brunette was extremely shocked about what she heard from Otoya, but not for the reasons her girlfriend had expected.

"When I called Namatame? I never called her, you're the only one I called for help" said Shiena. "Just after I called your, someone knocked me out and locked me into a freezer. It's impossible that I had called Namatame, because I had lost my phone"

"What are you talking about Shiena?! Namatame-san told me that you sent her a message, I saw the message! And I found your phone in front the freezer's door…"

"That can't be true, I didn't even have my phone on me when I was in the freezer, how I could send her a message!"

"Look on your phone" ordered Otoya, confused.

The brunette took out her phone from her pocket and looked the message she sent. The message she supposedly sent to Chitaru was still there, Otoya wasn't lying.

"That wasn't me who sent this message, I was unconscious and I didn't have my phone with me! That message was send way after the one I sent to you, that couldn't be me. This is someone else who sent this"

"The only person who could have sent this message was the culprit and it's impossible. Why someone who's trying to kill you would send this kind if message? And if it's someone else, than this person in an accomplice, because this person could have save you and didn't do it"

Who sent this message to Chitaru? That wasn't Shiena. It was someone else. This person also guided Otoya, Chitaru and Haruki to the basement, were Shiena was locked, since the brunette was unconscious almost all the time. This person should be the culprit, but it seemed unlikely and impossible, unless…

"The culprit's goal wasn't to kill me" said Shiena. "This person didn't do this in order to kill me, but to torment me"

Before that Otoya could say something, the brunette noticed that her phone was turned off.

"Someone sent me a message" said Shiena.

It was a vocal message from Mikage Hiyori. The brunette hesitated for a moment before listening to it.

"Kenmochi-san, I need your help. I don't know what's going on, but this is serious. I need to see you now, something happened…Tatsuya disappeared!"

Who's the culprit? I can already say that it isn't Otoya, I could even say it in red (only the people who watched Umineko can understand).

What's the culprit's goal? Why someone who seemed to try killing Shiena would help her to be saved?

What about Hiyori's message? Is she sincere? of maybe it's a trap...
