Chapter 12:

Jello bars.

Yui


“I found the actual murderer” Nana said, the way she talked and everything about her was much different from the “mushroom stand” Nana.

“Who are you?” the judge looked upset and nervous.

“I’m an investigator, you are one too, right?” Nana looked at the judge’s face “you are a fake judge.”

“This boy DID kill the kids” Natsuki said.

Nana attached the gun to Natsuki’s head, his face was scarred.

“But I gave him the knife and told him to do so” Natsuki’s voice shaked from fear.

What is happening? are they acting? they must be acting, they are gods Yui thought to himself.

“This is right!” Aku joined the lie “I was in the bathroom when I heard an unknown man threaten Takashima.”

“I don’t care who said him to do so, everyone involved in the murder of my daughter need to be punished” the Mother from the other side of the room joined the conversation.

The sentence became absolute chaos.

“I chose” the judge shouted in order to make everyone quiet “the man and the boy will wait in the cells at the local police station until we will gather more information.”

The same policeman from before entered the room and took Natsuki and Yui, Aku followed too. Everyone entered the police car, through the whole drive no one said a thing. Natsuki and Yui didn’t wanted to get out of character, so did Aku.

They arrived at the police station.

“Hello! I didn’t see you for a long time” the policeman said to the sleepy officer but didn’t got an answer.

Natsuki and Yui was put in the same cell and Aku returned to the old house with a peeling ceiling.

“Why did you told me to kill and take control?” Yui sat on the floor, he knew the policeman went away and the officer was sleeping.

“I wanted to see how you will act, I know how much you want to be perfect, I know you can’t look at people’s faces because everyone except you looks perfect to you. I told you to do a horrible thing, to get rid of some perfect people and then gain control over even some more, I told you to do so to feel perfect.” Natsuki looked down on the floor and smiled “you felt good, I saw your smile when you murdered innocent people.”

“Why did you want to see how I will act?” Yui remembered what Aku said about how much he likes asking questions and being in control.

Natsuki stood up “I would be more than happy to tell you but fromer god of creation doesn't want to tell you yet.”

“Former god of creation? Nana?” Yui sat on the little bench in the cell.

“Yes Nana, this is the name she made for herself on earth, we don’t actually have human names.” Natsuki looked outside the cell.

“Why can’t you tell me? are you scared of something?” Yui didn’t believed a god can be afraid of something.

“I do” Natsuki said “she is pretty scary when she is angry, I think she really hates me anyway. She saved me by mistake when she tried to save someone else, I think she really liked the part today when she pointed a gun to my head and I pretended like it could actually hurt me.”

“Wait, you are actually scared of that little girl?” Yui was surprised.

“She is actually older than me” Natsuki crossed his hands “other gods stop growing in other sizes. She looks cute but she is actually very mature and powerful. I feel uncomfortable talking about Nana when she isn’t here, mind if I change topic?”

Yui looked straight at Natsuki’s face, he had no problem looking at god’s face somewhy. He didn’t looked at Natsuki’s face before, just now he noticed how handsome Natsuki was.

“I don’t mind” Yui said lightly.

Natsuki got really close to Yui and his red as blood eyes shined brightly “your acting skills are amazing for a human!” Natsuki’s voice became much higher than it was before, until now he had a really deep and low voice.

Yui hates when someone is close to him, he pushed himself back as much as he could, he closed his eyes, scratched his head and started to blush “um… thank you… I guess, you're acting skills are pretty nice to….”

“I’m a god wandering on earth, I need to know to do something too…” Natsuki’s voice became low again.

“It’s starting to get boring isn’t it?” Natsuki aimed his hand at the bars.

“There is not much we can do for now” Yui sighed.

Natsuki looked very focused, he didn’t even noticed what Yui said. After a few seconds the bars of the cell started moving like Jello in a plate someone just shaked.

Yui never saw something like that before “wha.. what is that?!”

Natsuki kept on focusing for a few seconds and the bars eventually broke.

“Wow, you are so strong” Yui was amazed.

Natsuki smiled “thank you a lot, actually, there is a ranking list for god’s strength, I’m in a very low place” he noticed Yui was still in the cell

“why are you still in there? come with me.”
