Chapter 11:

I don't mind being dead.

Under The Shattered Eclipse


The past that Yuki was talking about is the past that drove her to killing people. She told earlier that she hates playboys. That's because of his past boyfriend that she had who was also a playboy...

It started in middle school, when Yuki was still a young girl, not knowing about the things of the adult world. It was all because of one man that Yuki turned out the way that she is now.

Some time in the second year of middle school, there was a trend where the girls would get boyfriends. It was a popular trend and everybody was doing it. And apparently, the older the boyfriend is, the more boastful they become.

Yuki was pretty cute back then, but she didn't know how to get a boyfriend, and these trends didn't interest her that much. But the problem is, the more the girls get their boyfriends, the more lonely she becomes, because she didn't have a boyfriend and had nothing to talk about with the other girls. She was at a loss, but she didn't mind being lonely.

"Hey Yuki, did you get a boyfriend yet?"

"I told you, I am not interested in such things."

"Oh come on. Get a life."

"If having a boyfriend means having a life, then I don't mind being dead."

Well, after some days, Yuki's previous best friend Izumi became the talk of the class and the hot topic. Because she was the first among the girls of their class who did 'it' with her boyfriend.

She was going around talking how good it felt and how enjoyable it was. She was just bragging about it and telling that she was an adult and children shouldn't do these kinds of stuffs.

Well, not much after that incident, the other girls were also starting to experience 'it' for their first time too, while Yuki was here doing nothing of it.

Everything was going smoothly, the problem started when they started bullying Yuki for it. Even her so called 'best friend' started bullying her. It was horrible.

The bullying was unbearable for Yuki. She was still a little girl. They would often hurt her. She would often come home with cuts and bruises on her body because of it. She couldn't even complain to the teachers, because if she did, those girls would hurt her even more. She was mentally dying from the excessive levels of bullying. So much so that she even stopped going to school.

You might ask, why didn't she tell it to her parents? Well, the thing is, her parents died in a car accident when she was little. She was living under the care of her aunt. Well, the word 'care' wouldn't fit. She was just barely surviving. Her aunt hated her. She didn't even care for her. Her aunt had a boyfriend, she would only act nicely towards Yuki when he was there.

In school, Yuki was bullied pretty severely. Well, no one even dared to stand up for Yuki. But there was one boy who would always look from afar. He was the popular kid. He decided to use Yuki in the most unimaginable way possible.

One day, he arrived at Yuki's house. Yuki was surprised at this. Why would a popular guy like him come to a girl like Yuki's house?

"Hello, is anyone home?"

"W-why are you here?."

She let him inside. They went upstairs to talk. There, that popular kid said that he would let her be his boyfriend. At this, she was shocked. She was flustered. She was hesitant. This can't be true. But then, he hugged her. At this, she started crying.

A few days later, she started going to school again. She was happy. But something seems strange. Everyone had an evil laugh in their faces. They were talking behind her back, but didn't bully her.

"That guy, he caught a good one."

"She got caught in the trap, huh?"

She didn't know what they was talking about. Everything seemed to go smoothly. Actually, too smoothly that is. He was talking her on dates, hugged her, hold hands and pledged that he would not cheat on her even if it means dying. She felt a sense of relief hearing it. But that sense would soon go away...

Things were progressing smoothly. To the point where they were this close to doing 'it'. They didn't kiss though. That means Yuki didn't have her first kiss stolen by him.

That day, that boy was acting a bit strange. He was a bit pushy and requested Yuki to do 'it' with him indirectly. Yuki didn't get the signs of him as she was innocent at that time. So he forcefully tried to do 'it' with her, but Yuki resisted.

"Please. Not today. I am scared."

"But you can't be scared all your life, can you?"

"Please, not today. I am not ready."

After that, she started crying. He decided not to push her any further. Because of her resisting, Yuki was able to hold onto her virginity that day. The boy looked very frustrated. He was dissatisfied and disappointed on her.

Next day at school, she was casually walking around at lunch time when she saw something unexpected...

That same guy, who was her 'boyfriend' was kissing and acting all lovey-dovey with another girl. Like, he was touching her thighs, breasts and what not. If it were not in public, they would've started doing 'it' too. Yuki was shocked. She felt betrayed. She also heard them talking.

"You're so beautiful. I can do this all day."

"Please stop. It tickles. And also, you have a girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?"

"I think her name is Yuki, right?"

"Pfft. She isn't my girlfriend. She was nothing to me."

"Is that so?"

She was shocked. His so called 'boyfriend' was cheating on her. He was a playboy. And that girl was his next target. She tried to stop her from falling into the same trap as she did. Because he might end up doing 'it' with her and leave her like he was planning to do with Yuki. It was good that Yuki resisted.

Yuki went to her and started telling her that he was a bad guy. As she was telling her, he came from nowhere and slapped Yuki. Then he took the girl and left the place.

She felt betrayed. She was hopeless. She didn't know what to do. She doesn't want anyone else to fall into the same trap.

She thought that there was nothing else left to do. So she went to him.

"Umm."

"What do you want?"

"If I agree to do 'it' with you, would you stop dating with her and go out with me again?"

"You will do 'it' with me? Sure then. I will stop pursuing her."

"Today at night. Come to my place."

He seemed happy. But what he didn't know is that there is another reason as to why she agreed to do 'it' with him...

That night, as promised, he came to their house. They went upstairs again. And as soon as they closed the door, he jumped straight on top of Yuki. He didn't even give her the time to react. He was enjoying her body. She knew she had to wait for the perfect opportunity to react. After some time, just as he was going to start the activity, Yuki pulled a knife and stabbed him at the chest, killing him.

After that, she made sure to remove all the trace of evidence that she existed and left home for good. After that, she grew up alone in a rural area, working for money and applying to a high school all by her own. And now she is here. Living her life as one of the 'Quixotic Predators'.
