Slaughter (3)

“AAAAARGGGGGG!!!!!”

Shit!! I can't look at Manami or this guy will hit me again as soon as I stop looking at him!! I need to maintain my defensive stance!!

“U…ugh…!!!”

…

…

*Silence*

*Stand up*

*Marvelous!! So old Yamazaki wasn’t mistaken about you!!! You are that girl after all!!*

She stopped screaming and stood up!! Her other personality may have taken the body. If she’s weak… We are dead!!

*You are Kira, right? Butagami-kun's second personality. Or better said, his Sakuragami Syndrome.*

*And you must be Manami-shit-2, her upgraded version.*

“Don't be rude, Kira-san!! She's Manami-sama. She's a good person!!”

*Yeah, sure. No one here is good at all. Only me. I just need your help, Butagami. Just give me that power boost when I tell you, and I’ll save our lives!*

*Step… step… step*

*Thank God that he hit my face and not the stomach.*

*What did you say, fake Manami??*

*Nothing. Kira, I need you to trust me and look at me for a second. I need to confirm something.*

*Are you crazy or what? That maniac is listening to everything we say. As soon as I look away from him, he will rush to me and crush my skull.*

*If it's strength that worries you, I can increase it the same way as you do. I'm also way faster than him, so if he tries to rush toward you, I will kick him in the face and use my body as a shield to protect you.*

“Do it, Kira-san. Trust her. She wouldn’t lie like that.”

*Okay!!!! God damn it!!!!* Why am I doing everything they ask me to do?? This is not me at all!!!

*Look*

*SWIIIISSSHHH…*

*BLONDE*

“It can be!! Manami-sama, your hair is blonde!!!” So beautiful, waving to the wind that comes from the broken window…

*Hey Roach-gami!! Don't use our mouth while I'm in control!!*

“SORRY, KIRA-SAN!!!”

How the hell did he do that?? Gaining momentary control over the body is not easy!! It might have been pure luck. Or maybe… Don't tell me that just looking at her activates his [Trigger Factor]!!! He gets horny just by looking at her!!! What a virgin loser!!! I need to stop looking at Manami-shit to keep control of our body!! But how strange… I’ve been living with Manami-shit the whole week while we prepared her plan. Is it because she’s different from the other Manami?? Also, Manami-shit lied to me!! She really has the Sakuragami Syndrome!!

*Look, Kira. Chizaki is not moving at all.*

*I know. He would have pulverized my skull as soon as I looked at you. So this is what you wanted to confirm.*

*As I thought, he won't move. He likes to wait and counterattack. If one of us is looking at him, he won't attack us.*

*Nice catch, little miss. I knew I wasn’t mistaken. You are the blonde kid and also the blonde girl that spoke with the homeless man, right?? You are the mastermind Yamazaki has been searching for so long. I see that you are way smarter than your host. I mean, a parricide like you must be very intelligent to avoid the old Yamazaki for 5 years.*

“What's he talking about?? Kira-san, ask Manami-sama about it. Why is her hair blonde? Wasn’t her other she the one who killed her parents?? I don’t understand anything.“

*Ey!! Manami-shit-2. Roach-gami wants to know about your hair and the things this maniac is speaking about.*

*Okay. The time has come. I can’t keep lying and hiding forever. We are not in the best of situations here, but I need to do it now. I’m sorry Butagami-kun, I lied to you.*

“She lied… to me?? The kind Manami-sama??”

*HA!!! I told you!! I’m the only one you can trust!! Forget about that useless girl. We need to focus on the muscular maniac and we will run away from here before police can link us with all of this!!*

*So old Yamazaki was right about the blonde girl. This will be interesting to hear.*

*My name is Ai Manami. I, as you already know, have the Sakuragami Syndrome. I’m the second personality that controls this body.*

*Yeah. Tell me something new, Manami-shit-2.*

*It's true what he says. I was the one who butchered and murdered the parents of my other self.*

What...?

*Her parents abused her on a daily basis. From the time she was born, she was not a loved child. They considered her a mistake from a one-night stand. From the time she was old enough to be self-aware, she was forced to clean and run errands around the house. Since she could not bring money home because of the laws of Japan, her parents felt they had the right to demand and blame her for everything bad that happened to them.*

"You useless bitch!!!"

"I told you to clean the dishes before!!!! Because of you, I lost your food money at the hippodrome!!!"

"This week you’ll only eat rice!!!"

*When my other self got sick due to malnutrition, they fed her properly before taking her to the doctor to make it look like it was not their fault. They had it all figured out, including the beatings. They knew where and how hard to hit so that no one would notice the wounds.*

Tsk… I didn’t know Manami-shit went through all of that… The way she behaved with me last week was so kind. She planned all of this slaughter, but it has nothing to do with the way she behaved at home and the way she smiled at me, even after calling her shit. I feel… bad??

*One day, before her 11th birthday, she paid a visit to her future high school. It was then that I was born, thanks to the stress and anxiety that the little Manami had accumulated over the years.*

“I wish mommy and daddy loved me as the other kids' parents do. If I die… will they cry??”

*However, I didn't control her body right away; I waited. I spent a few days watching and feeling everything she felt until the day of her 11th birthday arrived. Despite being treated so badly, her feelings towards her parents weren’t malicious at all.*

“I need to keep working hard and doing everything they ask me to do!! One day, they will love me!!”

*The next day, on the day of her 11th birthday, she was coming home from school as usual. As she walked through the door, she heard her parents laughing and celebrating. At first, she entered quietly, as she had been taught. However, as she peeked through the living room door, she saw them.*

I can’t believe it!! Mommy and daddy are celebrating my birthday?? That’s a strawberry cake <3!!

*She couldn't believe they had remembered her birthday. She had heard her classmates' stories about what birthday parties were like, since her parents never threw her one. As she walked into the living room, she saw them, sitting at the table, with a huge strawberry cake in front of them. She couldn't believe they had remembered her birthday.*

"You remembered my birthday <3!!!!"

*Cute and cheerful smile*

"Yes!! Of course we did!!!"

"Here you have. A piece of delicious cake."

*SPLAT!!*

"Eat it all or we'll punish you."

*They threw a piece of cake on the floor and forced her to eat it. While poor Manami cried and licked the dirty floor stained by the cake, that's when they said it.*

"We should snap your neck and kill you, you worthless girl."

*It was then that I took control. And that’s why my [Trigger Factor] are the strawberries.*

*RUN*

"Hey shitty brat!!! Where do you think you're going! Come back here and finish licking the cake, or you'd rather be dead!!!!!”

*Grab*

*I ran to the kitchen to grab the biggest knives in the house.*

"He-hey!!! What are you doing with those knives?!!!! Are you planning to hurt the parents who feed you?!!!? Drop that right now if you don't want your life to be a living hell!!!"

*Shut up... Dirty rat. Say hello to Satan for me!*

*INHUMAN DEVILISH PSYCHOTIC STARE*

*SLASH!!! CUT!!! SPLAT!!! SWING!!!*

“GYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”

“HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!”

*I dismembered their bodies as the room turned red from the blood that was splatting all over the place. The neighbors must have heard the screams of pain and desperation of those monsters, because the police arrived home in just a few minutes.*

“A brutal homicide has been reported in the Blue Garden area!! A young couple has been apparently tortured and dismembered. The only survivor is an 11 year old girl!! “

…

…

“Don’t tell me… This little girl saw everything??!!”

“Yes sir. She is the daughter of the victims. She’s so traumatized that we needed a psychologist to make her talk.”

“Take her into custody!! And make her talk about anything she remembers from the assassin!!”

…

…

“There's no use. We can’t solve this case. Report it like a collective suicide and send the little girl to a shelter house.”

*As I was still a little girl, the policemen did not suspect me in the first place. They took me to the police station and saw the bruises on my body. At first, they thought I was also a victim of the person who killed those bastards. However, Mr. Yamazaki was not convinced. Because the door was not forced, nor was the window smashed. It didn't make sense to think that someone had broken in and committed murder. Since then, I have controlled the body of the poor Manami. I started using a black wig to protect my identity and moved to a government protected house and lived alone. 2 weeks ago she regained control over my body after seeing someone dying in front of her.*

But the day at the cliff… I’m sure that her hair was black… Could it be that Manami-san was wearing a wig?? But why aren’t they now??

*How do you know so much about your other you’s life?? I only know what was going on in Butagami's life a few days before I was born.*

*Because I’ve been speaking with her for the last 5 years.*

“So she just lied about her hair color. That’s nothing important.”

*Yeah… But she’s been hiding such a minor detail for 5 years… She might be hiding something more. Something important.*

*BOHOOOO… What do you want me to do?? You want me to cry after hearing such a sad story?? Stop talking and come at me!!*

*You old shit!!! I should have killed you when you first came to my home!!!*

“KIRA-SAN!!!”

Hmm?? What now, Butagami??

“There’s no need for you to kill him.”

*Eh?? Why not?? Isn’t he laughing about your beloved Manami??*

“There’s no need for you to kill him, because it’s me who will kill him!!!”

*HE!! It looks like you are starting to understand the kind of world we live in, right, Butagami?? Just be ready for my signal and I will pierce his chest with our combined punch!!*

“Count with me, Kira-san!!” Also, Manami-sama!!! After we take this guy down, I will gain control over my body and your plan will be a success!!

*After you take control over your body, and my other self is distracted, search for something with strawberry flavor on a backpack from class 3.A. I know a girl who always carries a lot of strawberry sweets.*

Since Manami-sama already has control over her body, we just need to take down the inspector’s second personality!!

*Kira!! Butagami!! Help me take down this bastard!! I don’t want my other self to kill all of those students. But I don’t want this maniac to do the same!!!*

*I would have helped without you asking for my help.*

*HAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAH!!!!! How funny you both are, little kids!!! You are still breathing because I’m letting you live. But if your desire is to die, then come at me with all you have!!*

This guy is tough!! I need to use Manami-shit-2 as bait to be able to release Butagami’s power boost.

*Kira!! We need to work together to defeat him!!*

*Count with it, Manami-shit-2!!* I will send her in front of me and as soon as that guy punches her, I’ll be there to launch a punch directly to his heart to pierce into his thoracic box!!

*Muha… MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Young couples are so funny!!*

*Laugh while you can. You’ll be dead by the next minute.*

*Ooohh!! So you want to kill me, Kira-chan??*

*SCARY SADISTIC SMILE*

*I’m not scared of you. I will take you down, even if that means having to become Death myself.*

*BRIGHT HOPEFUL STARE*

*He!! I see. I just remember why your name was so familiar. You are the same Kira whose parents I killed 500 years ago?? The ones who gave me my right for a second chance in life??*

*Eh?? What are you talking about?? My parents are the same as Butagami’s. They are on a trip to the nearby town…*

*FLASH*

*...in Europe!!!*

*Eeeeeh?? Europe is not in the nearby town!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Have you started to remember?? Kira-chan?? Did you read the forbidden 16 books??*

How strange… Why did I say that?? 500 years ago?? I was born a couple of weeks ago… Forbidden books??

*Mommy!!! I love you…!!*

Ugh…!! The hell are those memories…!!!??

*KIRA!!! Don’t fall into his mind tricks!! He wants you to lose concentration!!*

*I know!! Then, Manami… chan. I have a plan. You just need to…*

*No.*

*What?*

*I have a better plan than yours.*

*But I didn’t say what my plan was…*

*And you shouldn’t. He’s listening to us. At the count of three, we will both run against him. You just need to aim at his face with your most powerful strike. In order for this plan to succeed, I can’t tell you more.*

Bullshit!! She wants to sell me the same way I wanted to sell her!!!

“KIRA-SAN!!! Let’s do this!! I’m ready for the power boost!!”

*You what?? Don’t do that!! It’s a limited power!! We can’t use it without knowing 100% it will land. I need to find the perfect moment to use it.*

“Just trust in Manami-sama!!!”

*How can I trust her after knowing that they lied to both of us!!!???*

“She confessed that she lied in front of us and opened her heart… No one would ever make up such a sad story just to save her life. She’s the most honest person I’ve ever met. I’m sure that she lied for a good reason. I would die happily if it was to save her life.”

*BUT I WON’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Aaaaaggghh…!!! All of the humans are a bunch of liars. They put on that stupid mask of hypocrisy and pretend to be someone they are not. But even after knowing that, I don’t know why, but I still want to believe that not everyone is false in this world. I want to meet someone who’s not just like the rest of shitass humans.

“You must trust Manami-sama, Kira-san. I need to hear you say it if you want the power boost!!”

*Okay, okay!! I’ll trust her!! But if you fail, we will all be dead.*

“Don’t worry, Kira-san. I’ll be ready!!”

*Hey you!! Old pimple!! Prepare yourself. There’s more from where that last punch came from!!*

*You are very confident, Kira-chan. Like you, I can also add the strength of my other personalities. 2 of them refuse to cooperate, and 3 are women, so I can only use the strength of 10.*

*You really are a real scumbag.* It doesn’t matter if you can boost your punch 10 or 15 times. I won’t let you hit me!! *This is the last time you underestimate someone in front of me!!* Mmmh?? Why am I saying that?? It’s almost as if I said that before… But when??

*What's wrong? You're going to open a thread on Sweatter for me? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, COME ON!!!! Come and get me at once!!!!*

*KIRA!!! NOW!!!*

*RUN*

*BUTAGAMI!!! READY FOR THE BOOST!!!*

“Yes!! Kira-san!!”

Everything is moving slowly again… Manami-shit-2 is behind me. So she really is using me as bait to escape. He! I can’t be mad at her. That’s exactly what I was planning to do to her. I bet she’s planning to run away after I get hit, but I won’t let that happen. I will dodge his punch and destroy his chest with my own hands!!!

*COME AT ME!!! SHITTY BRATS!!!*

*EAT THIS!!!*

*Swing… Miss*

*MUAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU MISSED!!! You are done!!!*

*SWIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

*You are wrong!!*

*COOL STARE*

*Dodge!!!!!!*

Ugh!!! He dodged my boosted blow!!

*THE ONE WHO’S DONE…!!!*

*FIST CLENCH!!!!!!*

*BUTAGAMI!!! NOW!!! THE BOOST!!!*

“YES!!!!”

*... IT’S YOU!!!!!!!!!*

*BLAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!*

*SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH*

…

…

Eh? My fist… Didn’t pierce…!!

*MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! What a stupid kid!! The same way you can boost your attack, I can boost my defense and speed by 10 times!! And look!! I caught a little fly trying to kick my head!!*

*Ugh… Butagami-kun, Kira… I failed… Sorry!!*

Manami-shit-2… so she didn’t run away… She really stayed with me.

*NOW!!! FLY AGAINST THE WALL YOU BOTH!!!*

*BAM!!!*

SHIT!!! HE HIT ME!!!

*SWOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!*

*BLAM!!!!*

*KHOFF!!! KHAK!!! SPLAT!!!*

Damn it… That hit really hurt!! He made me bleed through my mouth… Where’s Manami-sh…

*SPECIAL DELIVERY!!!*

*Move away, Kira!! He’s going to launch meeeee…*

*LAUNCH!!!*

*SWOOOOOOSSSHHHH!!!!!!!!*

*BLAM!!!!*

*CRUMBLE!!!*

*MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Launching kids is so funny!!!*

Crap… He launched Manami at me like she was a doll!! I need to get her off of me before the old fart comes to crush our skulls!!!

*SFX: GUAU!!!!*

THE HELL!!!?? Why is her shirt ripped!!!??? I can see her under…!!!!

…

…

Hmm?? This is… I came back!! I did it!! But how?? The last thing I remember was being punched by Chizaki… But I didn’t die. I need to find Manami… sa…MA!!!!????

“MAAAAAA-MAAAAAAAA-MAAAAAANAMI-SAMA!!! Your u-u-u-underwear!!! I can see it!!”

*Covers eyes*

*Butagami-kun?? Is that you?? You made it!! You took control over your body again!! It may be… Butagami!! Look at my underwear!! That’s your [Trigger Factor]!! I can feel it in my back.*

She can feel it… my… thing!!! “KYAAAAAAAHHH!!! I’m sorry Manami-sama!!!”

*PUSH*

“Ah!! I’m sorry for pushing you, Manami-sama!! Is it that I was just…”

*Look*

*SFX: GUAU!!!!*

GYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I looked again!!! I can’t look at Manami-sama’s face ever again!! What a shame of a human being that I am!! I made her feel my thing in her back!!! What’s wrong with me!!!?? “Here!! Take my jacket!!”

*Butagami-kun, look!! It’s Chizaki!!!*

That’s right… Chizaki!! The second personality of inspector Yamazaki-san… We weren’t paying attention to him!! But he didn’t attack us… Why…??

*Look!! He’s motionless. It may be that he also…*

*Mumble… whisper… mumble…*

“He appears to be babbling something… but what…??”

*Mumble… whisper… mumble…*

*Mumble…*

*Silence*

…

…

*~LET ME OUT, CHIZAKI!!!! IT IS MY TIME TO PLAY!!! Let me play with that beauty…~*

*PREDATORY SMILE*
