Shiena woke up from a sleep without dream. The brunette had stopped dreaming since she was working for Myojo. She couldn't see Otoya, even not in her own dreams. Shiena rose up and look at the bed beside hers. Her roommate Yukina was still sleeping.
It's been two month since she became friend with Yukina. It's been also two months since she attending Ataru's classroom. Shiena finally knew the reason why Yukina was an assassin working for Myojo. Her roommate came from a poor family, so poor that her parents sold her to gain money. She was purchase by a yakuza clan and trained to kill. The clan finally get exterminated by Myojo. The chairwoman decided to spare Yukina, but in exchange, she'll have to work for Myojo as an assassin.
The brunette woke up a little bit too earlier. Well, that didn't bother her, she'll have more time to prepare herself for school. Shiena went to the bathroom and plaited her hair in two braided pigtails. She put her Myojo's school uniforme and went to Yukina's bed.
"Yukina, it's time to wake up."
Her roommate slowly opened her eyes, still tired.
"Five minutes please…" Yukina begged.
"The last time you said that you were late in class."
Yukina finally rose up from her bed, prepared herself for school, and went to their class with Shiena.
It was Shiena's birthday yesterday. She had eighteen years old. But this day didn't make her happy. Of course, Yukina and some of her classmates wished her a happy birthday, even Nio remembered it.
But Shiena didn't really care. The only person she wanted to celebrate her birthday with was in an asylum. Sadly, the brunette wondered how many birthday she'll have without Otoya, while doing her math homework.
"Shiena-chan! Is that you, Shiena-chan!?"
The brunette turned back, to see Haru running toward her. Tokaku was with her, but she was slowly walking.
"Ichinose, it's been a while." Shiena said.
"Yes, how are you? Why are you wearing Myojo's school uniform?" Haru asked.
"I go to Myojo Academy now, as a regular student." Shiena answered.
Tokaku was looking around, like she was searching someone.
"Where's Takechi-san?" the blue haired girl asked.
Shiena was surprise by this question. It seemed that Tokaku and Haru didn't know about Otoya's lawsuit.
"She got arrested and she's now in an asylum. She was judged mentally ill." the brunette answered.
"Oh, really? That's strange, I'm pretty sure she would have face death penalty. Hey, you did something, don't you? Is this why you wear Myojo's uniform?" Tokaku asked, suspicious.
"I…don't want to talk about that, sorry. Oh, I should go back to class, the lunchbreak is almost over!" Shiena said, while walking away.
"Look who's wearing Myojo's crappy uniform, isn't it Kenmochi-san!?" Isuke taunted.
"Please Isuke-sama, don't mock her. The poor girl had undergone tough things." Haruki said.
Shiena was near a construction site. Isuke and Haruki were sat on a bench. The pink haired girl was happily mocking the brunette's situation. She tried to ignore her and continued to walk.
"I heard things about you, Kenmochi-san. You're forced to work for Myojo in order to protect Takechi-san, huh? What a shame, you should let her die and run away, you idiot." Isuke said meanly.
This time, Shiena couldn't ignore. She stopped walking and gazed Isuke.
"If doing anything I can to save someone I love making me an idiot, than fine. I don't care about you're opinion, Inukai." Shiena replied.
"Don't try to talk back with me, and it's Isuke-sama for you. How I said is that you're now Myojo's bitch. Congratulation, Kenmochi-san."
"Said the girl who always accepts missions from Hashiri, like when you had kidnapped me. Who's the bitch now?" Shiena asked with a smirk.
Haruki had to restrain Isuke in order to stop her from killing Shiena.
Shiena was drinking alone in her room. Yukina wasn't there, her roommate was studying at the library. There had five empty beer bottles on the table, the brunette was drinking her sixth beer.
"Happy birthday, Otoya. Almost one year since the last time I saw you. Are you alright? How's your life in this asylum?" Shiena said to herself, while finishing her beer.
When the brunette tried to stand up and go searching another beer, she fell on the floor, completely drunk. She tried to move, but she was too affected by the alcohol. She finally lost consciousness, while Yukina entered into the room.
"Shiena-san…what the…why all those beers? Dammit, if you want to drink, you could have invited me…"
Shiena was silently gazing Sumireko, hesitating to drink her tea.
"The last time you invited me for a tea party, you drugged me." the brunette said.
"Don't worry, this isn't the reason why I invited you today."
"Then what's the reason?"
Sumireko drank a little bit of her own tea.
"I wanted to know if you were alright. I heard about what's happened to Takechi-san, I'm sorry for you. Even if I don't really like her, this is sad for you. I know you work for Myojo to protect her, this is really honorable."
"Well…thanks, Hanabusa." Shiena replied, while sipping her tea. "Banba isn't there?"
"She's sleeping, she was a little sick yesterday." Sumireko answered. "I'm kind of surprised to see that Myojo let you got outside."
Shiena pulled up her sleeve, showing the bracelet she was wearing at her wrist.
"This is a GPS," the brunette began to explain. "If I tried to run away, Otoya will be killed. I'm not really free, but I don't care. I'm ready to sacrifice my freedom to protect the girl I love."
Shiena finished drinking her tea.
Shiena finally found her cellphone she lost, before getting arrested. She looked at her messages. She had 66 messages from Chitaru. The brunette decided to call her.
"Hi, Namatame, how are you…"
"Kenmochi!? Is that really you? I tried to call you, but you never answered me…" Chitaru said.
"Sorry, I lost my phone."
"Is it true? You were abducted by Takechi and developed a Stockholm Syndrome?"
Shiena sighed. It seemed Chtiaru knew about the trial.
"It was a lie, Myojo are the responsible for this trickery. I make a deal with the chairwoman, I work for them now, in order to protect Otoya."
"Are you in danger? I don't like this, I'm worried for you. If I can do anything for you, you just have to call me…" Chitaru proposed.
Shiena almost smile. If the red haired girl proposed her this before she dated Otoya, Shiena knew what she would have asked her to do.
"Chitaru-san is really someone wonderful, isn't she?" a girl voice suddenly asked.
Shiena blenched when she recognized the voice.
"Kirigaya!" the brunette said.
"It's not like you and Takechi-san broke up, huh? You'll see her again one day, I'm sure. So no need for you to chase after my girlfriend, Kenmochi-san. I'm sure you prefer your coffee without arsenic…" Hitsugi said with a sweet voice.
Shiena immediately hung up the phone.
"Shiena-san, you received a letter." Yukina said.
The brunette was sat on the couch, reading a book. She took the letter and opened it, while Yukina went to the bathroom.
"Dear Kenmochi Shiena-san," Shiena began to read. "How are you? I hope you're fine. I want to thank you for having hosted Kouko-chan and me. I live with her in the countryside, where her organisation can't find her. She wants to go studied in the United State to become scientist, she wants to find a cure for my disease. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I hope she can. Of course, Kouko-chan is smart, so I trust her. What's about you? How is your relationship with Takechi-san? I hope you're still together, I think you two make a great couple. Don't hesitate to send me a letter, I really want to know what going on in your life. Cordially, Shuto Suzu-san."
The brunette almost began to cry. Of course she was happy for Kouko and Suzu, but this letter also made her realise how much she missed Otoya. It seemed that Suzu didn't know about what's happened. Well, if she lived in the countryside, it was kind of normal. Shiena took a piece of paper, writing an answer to Suzu.
Shiena was waiting the bus to come back to Myojo Academy. A girl was sat beside her. She had short sky blue hair with light green eyes.
"Hi, Shiena-san."
The brunette looked at the girl beside her. How did she know her name? Shiena didn't know who she was, but she reminded her someone else. The stranger had a slight scar beside one of her eyes.
"Scuse me, but who are you?" Shiena asked.
"Ah, you don't remember me? Well, that's good, it would be bad for me if people could recognised me easily."
Shiena gazed the stranger, desperate to find out who she was. She finally remembered who this girl reminded her.
"No, it's impossible…Sasoriza!?"
"Well, I changed my surname, but I still have the same name." Midori said.
"But…you should be dead, I saw it in the newspaper…"
"That's a long story. I heard that you killed Kamikuro-san, I was worried for you."
"Yes, Otoya couldn't save me without your call, thanks." Shiena said.
"Did you talk with Yukari-san recently?" Midori asked.
"No, Yukarin refused to talk with me, she thinks I betrayed her…" Shiena answered. "Hey, what's happened with your hair? And I thought you had lost your eye…"
"Yes, thanks to your girlfriend, I'm one-eyed. I dyed my hair in blue and I have green contact lens. I also wear an artificial eye."
"It look so real."
"Well, that's kinda the point."
A bus arrived. Midori rose up and went inside.
"You don't come?" she asked.
"No, I have to take bus number 6." Shiena answered.
"Oh well, next time I see you I'll gladly tell you how I managed to survive."
"I hope so."
Otoya looked herself in the mirror. She now had short purple hair. It's been almost three years she was locked into this asylum, three years that she didn't see her beloved Shiena. On her chest she had something incised in her skin. It was しえ, the kanji for the word purple, and also the first kanji in Shiena's name. Otoya cut her own skin to write it. The wound was still bleeding a little.
"Now you'll be always close to my heart, Shiena." Otoya whispered.
The serial killer took a pen and cut it out. She doused her wound with the blue ink, before washed it. The ink injected into the wound, making it look like a tattoo. It almost seemed like a professional tattoo, Otoya was really meticulous when she carved her skin.
"Takechi-san, why are you taking so long?" asked one of the nurses.
Otoya put back her t-shirt and left the bathroom, facing the nurse.
"I was busy talking to my reflection in the mirror." Otoya answered.
"Then, what's the blood on your t-shirt?"
The serial killer noticed that there was some blood on her.
"Well, this is…"
Otoya didn't finish what she was saying and began to run away. The nurse sighed, while taking the asylum's phone.
"I need a doctor now, with a straitjacket. Yes, it's for Takechi-san, again…"
Wait, Midori is alive? But I had wrote R.I.P., dammit! Where I didn't kill this b*tch? Oh yeah, the author likes her too much...
Hey, I promised to have Isuke and Haruki together, I respected me promise...ok, I'll write a fanfic about them later, don't be mad!
