(Bloody Eyes)

The blood dripped from my hand. It tried to escape the compound of my body. I was there chopping veggies. I wish my sister would just come back from school, and prepare dinner. I'm not good with the house chores… I stare at the kitchen mirror in front of me. I gaze at the blood dripping down my finger. I can’t help, but suddenly alert my attention onto my own eyes. They are red, like my blood. *I smile*. I always liked unique things. My eyes were one of them. They were a rare shade of amber that looked blood-red. Sometimes, people say I look crazy because of them; ~some say it’s not my eyes~. I switch my observance to the window. It's pouring down outside. A sudden thought sprung upon my intelligence as I peered into the rain. I wonder what an ocean filled with blood would look like. I think it would look cool. Except the bodies and stuff. That would just be creepy. You know, maybe people are right about me being psycho. Remembering my injury, I move to the first aid kit. I grab it and put the band-aid on my finger. It attaches to my skin like a mosquito. ”I’m a poet”-he mumbles out sarcastically. I lay on the soft drab couch. Hanging on the wall, were name portraits; Fukaichi Kokoro & Tsuki Kokoro, all colorful with spring blossoms... Kokoro stared at the TV blankly. His eyes slowly shut. Noises spurted from the television. He slowly fell asleep listening, to a game show. I dreamt. I like dreaming because usually, I dream about exciting good happy dreams. When I eventually wake up, I feel empty inside. A barren nothingness is what I wish upon. O, isn’t it great when you have a dream about seeing your crush naked and you ask her out, while she is naked, and then she says yes, but suddenly it never FUKCING happens? It's great, right? Kokoro’s dream was a trivial game show. The host asked the question; “How will the human die”? The contestants had to guess how the person would die. Dreams are weird, right? The choices were revealed: death by cutts, death by rubber duck, death by chemicals, or death by screwdriver. In the dream, Kokoro tries to think of a way to save the man. 

(Scene cuts to the dream)

“WHY CAN’T I HELP HIM? DO SOMETHING BODY. DO SOMETHING ME. MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE” -Kokoro loudly shouts. Please just fucking move already; he’ll die”-he desperately mutters. There were two other contestants both to the right of me. They both guessed death by a screwdriver. They seem like screwed-up people. Anyway, It was my turn now. The rubber duck was a funny option, but how are you going to die to a rubber duck, so… ”I am going to go with death by chemicals.”-Kokoro states. “ You are all sorry! The answer is death by rubber mother fucking ducky”- The Host announces as he shakes his booty. ”WAHOOO,! YAY!. BATH TIME!”- The crowd cheers. This host is evil… The crowd wanted to see the man die. Disgusting. “Barbra, come here”-The Host commands. A 6ft 6, chad of a guy comes walking out in a bikini. “Kill Him”-The host states in a cold tone. The Host is going to kill him. Kokoro’s eyes widen. Barbra pulls a rubber duck out of his pants and marches towards the victim. The victim is a male office worker, he is tied to a shiny wheel. I try to move, but my body feels as if it's tied down. I can’t move a muscle. Although it feels like I can get through this power if I concentrate harder~. Barbra shoves the rubber duck into the man’s mouth. “Mmmmm”-The man resists. Barbra forces the rubber duck down the man’s throat. The man begins to choke. Kokoro panics. He forcibly tries to move again, but he can’t. The man feels the rubber duck, stuck in the middle of his esophagus. Pressure builds up in the man's throat. The man tries diligently to breathe but he can’t. “UUUUULLAAAAAGHH HULLRGGHH” -The man breathes. The man swings his head hysterically as he tries to get air. Saliva gushes out of the man's mouth. The man screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams as he suffocates. His body flails on that wheel.Then it happens, the victim's last effort. The man convulse to survive and escape from his reality. ”HAHAHAHA just give up already. All you are doing is causing yourself more pain”-The Host. The man's gestures become slow and his body comes to a halt. The man accepts death. Tears rain down his face as he gags. Snot drips from his mustache. The man cannot breathe. The man's eyes pop out of his head, landing in a wet pool of his saliva. Tears emerge from hollow holes. The salty liquid drips onto his eyeballs, which have fallen into a pool of his saliva. The man goes limp and falls forward. ”Barbra undo the restrictions and let his corpse fall”-The Host. Barbra listens. Kokoro stares at the dead body. It’s hopeless, lifeless, and now pointless… Kokoro glares at the eyes on the ground. He breathes in and out loudly. The ghostly image of the man's face imprints in Kokoro's mind. “Okay, This is the final test”-The Host says cheerfully. He’s way too happy. “Here is Holly, she is a stay-at-home mom of two and she just loves taking care of her children”-The Host. I don’t like this. Barbra walks out onto the stage holding a hogtied mother. “Please Someone help me. i- I don’t wanna die. stop! Let GO Of me!”-Stay At Home Mom says. “Well, How friendly you are”- The Host. “Hmph This should be fun, I kinda want to see her dead body”-Weird guy says as he licks his lips. The weird guy has abnormal dark maroon hair. He’s going to get off on her dying! “Hmmm, how could she die? I need to win; the prize money is 10,000 dollars and according to my calculations that's just enough to buy the materials for my new astonishing microscope”-Contestants Wearing Glasses. This guy is annoying. “Well, once again my contestants you have 4 choices: death by flaying, death by bleeding out, death by rape, and death by a STD. Well, if she wasn’t going to die in the next 5 minutes she probably would have died of Chlamydia, hore”-The Host slaps the woman's belly. ”Mmm!”-Woman. “Go on have more kids”-The Host. “Hmmm to be honest, mathematically, numerically, and scientifically speaking the possibility of death by choking is the most probable at a high 63% while the other options ar-” -Contestants Wearing Glasses calculates before getting interrupted. “SHUT THE FUCK UP GEEK. What’s your name Clent?”-Weird Guy. “Actually my name IS Clent, you fucking bitch! And what is yours, delinquent”-Clent says. “Wambo’s the name and sorry about that. O Yeah! I think It's death by rape, aww yeah death by rape, I wanna see that badly”-Weird Guy. His mind just switched from talking to Clent to rape. “Well Kokoro, what do you think”-The Host. “I’ma go with death by choking too” -Kokoro quickly answers. I am a little uncomfortable. Somehow I hope the woman doesn't get killed. I wonder if I can help her. There is a way there always is… Suddenly an idea pops into Kokoro’s head. “Well, the cor” -The Host says before getting interrupted by autism. “hsyufdjhjdfggdjufdjhLALALLALAljfhdgbnbgnhngfj”-Kokoro says in an attempt to distract the host. ”Holy shit this teen’s gone sped” -The Host mutters under his breath. “Women please have peace with your thoughts, I’m sorry I can’t move, but I’ll delay your end”-Kokoro pledges. Hopefully, you have enjoyed your stay in life. You created life and supported it… Dang it, I hate this feeling of uselessness. Why can’t I do Anything? I just can’t save the mom, I’m not smart enough. If only I could think of some brainiac plan to save her. I can’t even come up with some way to ask Asuka out. Asuka. Shiromi Asuka, She has pink colored eyes and beautiful brown hair. She's nice, kind, and smells great. She is so hot. I love her thighs. While Kokoro daydreams about Asuka, he continues to shout, like a retard. “Uhh The sped’s got a boner……”-Wambo. The crowd goes silent. ” GFHGEHJKDGGJ…… w-wait no ….. s-shit, ….s-s sorry I was thinking about my crush. She’s gorgeous."-Kokoro. ”Barbra silence him."-The host. Barbra slams the tape onto Kokoro’s mouth. “HA, the boy’s boner is gone. He didn’t like Barbra’s meaty slap. But damnn, young schoolgirls. mmm uniforms”-Wambo… “LET’S SEE THIS MOTHER CRY”-The Host shouts. The crowd cheers once again… “Thanks, young man for giving me some time to think about my life. Even though you’re a little perverted; thank you”-Women. I wanna die… “Well back to business, it’s Death by choking. BARBRA CHOKE THAT SLUT”-The Host. *Pain*. Kokoro's body becomes numb. ~Dejavu~. ”Don't don’t kill her. stop. stop. STOp.stop.jj.h.;g.h..gWyh. I SAID STOp”. “Don’t KIll HER”-Kokoro. Please don't hurt her…………. Barbra begins to choke the women. The mom wiggles her body to try to slip underneath Barabra's death grip. Holly flails her arms, she twists her toes, she squirms her head, she swings her feet and she grabs onto Barbra's hands with her nails, but, he is too powerful. While she goes complete psycho she accidentally kicks Barbra’s shin. His face turns red with anger, but he smiles greatly… Barbra rips Holly's head off. He drops her head and it rolls on the ground. The mother’s body falls as Barbra lets go off. Her body twitches rapidly, then ceases. Blood splatters and spurts all over the place like a sprinkler. ”Ha her esophagus is all over the place”-The Host laughs. The mother's esophagus was below in a pool of blood. The lady is dead. “DANGIT I WANTED TO SEE HER GET RAPED! Hey host can I rape her”-Wierd Guy. “Hmmm, I was right, good. You know she’s dead right”-Clent. “Ooo I KNOW”-Wambo smiling. Dead. The mom is dead. “*sigh* Yes, you can rape her Wambo. Do whatever you want fucking moron” -The Host complains. “Nah dude the rush is over”-Wambo says boldly… She’s dead. She’s dead She’s dead She’s dead She’s dead the mother is dead. Mom is dead. Kokoro slams the ground with his fist… “WAKE UP”-? Screeches......

My sister, Tsuki, jumped on my stomach… It was a dream… Kokoro gazes at Tsuki. The circular mount ceiling light shines bright in my eyes. Tsuki was wearing a white top with a beige skirt and long white socks. "Tsuki where is-"-Kokoro. 

Flashback

“Fuu-nii! Mommy. Daddy. are…”-Tsuki mumbles as tears sprinkle from her eyes. I'm holding her hand as we run, pulling her away. “I know”-I answer. ”We can’t leave mommy and daddy behind!”-Tsuki screams out. ”I want them to come with us.”-Tsuki cries out. ”Can’t they come with us?”-Tsuki. They can’t… They can’t because of them! They did all that inappropriate stuff to mom… And then sliced dad up into chunks. ”Mom and Dad will come once they are ready”-I lied. ”We need to run Tsuki or their efforts will be for waste.”-I say. ”I know… I heard lots of scary noises… Are you sure they will come? Mom was screaming…”-Tsuki. “They will come for sure!”-I said with confidence. I lied… Tsuki understands why I lied. But luckily she didn’t see why I lied. Are they gone? I can’t look back. Just run. faster. Faster. And faster. I need to make sure they can’t follow. ”Fuu-nii, we’ll be fine right”-Tsuki asks. “Yeah… I’ll make sure of it”-I. ”Good…”-Tsuki says to me. Of course, I was telling the truth there. Losing Tsuki, was the worst fate imaginable. Kokoro was 9. Tsuki was 7. 

Another Flashback

(6 months later). I sprint, the rough sidewalk beneath leads me to the park. I turn the corner. I saw 3 boys kicking Tsuki as she was huddled in the sand. I ran at them infuriated. ”Get away from my sister”-I shouted. The kids peer at me. I tackle the kid with the buzzcut that looks like their leader. We scrambled in the pit until the other two jumped me. My face gets slammed into the sand. It tasted Slimy. Eating the sand makes me snap. I was pissed, and I felt rage in my muscles. I kick the skinny kid with brushy hair back. Buzzcutt hits my nose with his wrist. I hocker blood onto the ground. I glare at him. I scan the area with my eyes. I punch Buzzcutt in his cheek. He stumbles into the sand. He gets back up and I push him. He pushes me. We fight and fight and fight and fight. The red rays of the sky pour down onto me. The red sun is leaving me. The black night sky that I love finally appears. I remember when my dad showed me and Tsuki the night sky. He bought me a telescope for my 7th birthday. I punch the leader and his tooth falls out. "Takumi!"-A parent's mother. "What did you do to my child"-She says. She then eventually looks at me. Horror comes to her face. "What happened to you"-Is what she muttered. She wasn't horrified by the cuts. It was my frame. I was malnourished… The boys and their parents leave. I gaze up at the stratocumulus clouds that cover the shining stars. ”It must be great to actually have parents”-Kokoro says in pain. ”Fuu-nii don’t talk you got punched in the mouth.”-Tuski. “Nii, it’s okay that we don’t have parents because we got each other”-Tsuki says as she tries to clean my cuts with a piece of cloth. I grin. ”Let’s go home Tsuki”-I. ”Yeah!”-Tsuki energetically says. Kokoro and Tsuki walk home together side by side. Except the home didn't exist.

Present

“Fuu-Nii im back from school!”-My sister says as she still bounces on me. ”Tsuki… Get off”-Kokoro. She smiles. Tsuki is in the student council and dance club so she comes home late. “It’s time for dinner Fuu”-Tsuki says. “Okaaay”-Kokoro annoyed. I get up. I feel heavy. Somethings happening? The world is spinning. Kokoro's muscles go numb and he begins to shake rapidly. Kokoro is having a muscle spasm. ~The dream caused this. “Dangit Oniichan, your having your muscle spasms again! Usually, you have them once a month; but this is the 6th. What have you been doing, masturbating more frequently?” -Tsuki questioningly asks. “Shu-ut Uu-p I didn’t masturbate. ”-Kokoro says while looking away from her as he continues to convulse. A couple of seconds pass, and Kokoro’s body goes back to normal. My muscles feel sore. 6 muscle spasms in a month probably aren’t normal for humans. This is getting pretty annoying. “Sure Oniichan you haven't been touching yourself. You might just have a sister fetish. That is why you're having these spasms”-Tsuki says as she sits on my stomach. “Tsuki, I already have a girl I like”-Kokoro says. “Yeah. Me!”-she says cheekily with a smirk. Kokoro stares at her. "I'm Good” -Kokoro. “I was not offering! And Fuu-nii you totally just peeked at me.”-She says. “Fuu I cleaned up the house. O, and I made curry for dinner. Its waiting on the table”-Tsuki. ”Okay, Tsuki” -Kokoro. ”Hmm how about you sound more cheerful”-Tsuki says while moving her thighs a little. This brat. “Thanks for this great meal and I love you”-Kokoro jokes. Tsuki glares at me with disgust and secondhand embarrassment. “You made it weird Oniichan”- she says with shame. “Your blushing. You have a Brother Complex”- Kokoro says with his hands shrugged. “Shut up Fuu. No one would have a brother complex with you. *Hmpm*.”- she says coldly. ”Sure. You don’t.”-Kokoro, closes his eyes. "Come eat your dinner, it's already 9”-she says. ”K”-Kokoro. "Wait. What did you say"-Kokoro says in a hurry. "Eat the dinner I made you. It's 9"-Tsuki. "It's 9!"-Kokoro says getting up. "Yeah, I got home around 6:45, took a shower. Then I made dinner and cleaned the house. I already told you this Fuu-Nii"-Tsuki says. Kokoro sits at the wooden table in the dining room. He begins to spoon his curry. Kokoro glances at the clock. I napped for about 2 and a half hours. I peek back to Tsuki. She’s moving her legs up and down as she watches the TV. I finish my food. I get up. Kokoro lays down on the edge of the couch. He lays back and places his feet in Tsuki's lap. Tsuki plays with Kokoro's socks. “So what’s up with this game show”-Kokoro asks Tsuki. ”They have 4 choices to choose from, and the contestants have to decipher which of the 4 choices are going to happen. Of course, the contents get small hints to help them decipher"- Tsuki says. ”Weird, this game show seems really familiar”-Kokoro. ”You're delusional Nii, this is the first episode”- Tsuki. Kokoro sits up and flicks her head. ”*ouch* what was that for”-Tsuki. ”Nothing”-Kokoro smirks. ”*sigh* Why did you flick me then?”-Tsuki says with an attitude. ”I felt like flicking you”-Kokoro. ”Hpmp”-she pouts again. “This show is boring. I'ma take a shower ”-Kokoro. ”K, don’t do anything weird in there”-Tsuki. ”Like what?”-Kokoro pronounces coldly. ”Like touch yourself”-Tsuki mumbles. ”*huh* What did you say?”-Kokoro. ”Nothing!” -Tsuki says loudly. “K, I won’t touch myself”-Kokoro. “What!”-Tsuki.

May 9th

“Fuu-Nii it's time for school!”-My sister calls out 20 minutes before the sound of the bell. “What!”-Kokoro. “I made breakfast, Bye nii”-Tsuki. “See ya!”-Kokoro shouts. Tsuki is in her final year of middle school, and since she is a part of the student council she has to leave early. I walk to school alone. Kokoro pulls his phone out. It’s 7:50, I have some time… Right as I am going to take the long way I hear. ”KOKORO”- The Dog Boy. ”Hey, Sado what’s up” -Kokoro. I’ve known Sado since 4th grade. To be honest I’m kind of stuck with him. He is a rabid puppy who follows and antagonizes me. ”Kororo, did you see Amaka in the school’s auditorium last night?”-Sado. ”No, I watched a game show with my sister"-Kokoro. ”Your cute blonde sister”-Sado. "Don’t call sister cute, that's weird dude."-Kokoro. ”Lucky dog. Anyway, there was a TikTok battle between Amaka and Momo. They were dancing in crop tops and short skirts.”-Sado. (A TikTok battle is a contest where girls at the school can sing and dance on top of the auditorium stage to gain followers on TikTok. TikTok battles usually happen after school and are usually 1v1. The winner gains followers and attention. ”I already have a girl I'm interested in…”-Kokoro. ”Motherfucker I forgot that you were such a-” -Sado gets cut off by Kokoro’s wonders. I saw her… Her brown hair glistened in the sunlight. Her uniform enhances her stunning body. And her face was pretty. ”Damm Kokoro, she’s-... and he’s gone”-Sado says as I leave. ”Aye, Asuka what’s up”-Kokoro. This is me trying to act cool. ”Nothing much, Kokoro”-Asuka smiles. We stare at each other for a little. Shit, I’m blushing too hard. I just can’t help, but be happy. ”So, how’s your morning”-Kokoro. ”Good. How was yours?”-Asuka cheerfully. ”Pretty good, actually ate breakfast ”-Kokoro said happily.“You make it good”-My intrusive thoughts ring. ”Did you study for the test Kokoro?”-Asuka. ”What test”.-Kokoro. “The one in chemistry?”-Asuks says angrily concerned. She is cute. ” Ahh, yeah the one in chemistry, uhuh. just making sure you know, you know?”-Kokoro. ”Kokoro, you need to study for your tests or you’ll fail…”-Asuka says saddened. She caught me. ” Yeah, I know”-Kokoro playfully says with his hands on the back of his head. ”Sure you do Kokoro!” -Asuka says while turning around. ”You know if you fail chem you’ll have to repeat the grade”-she states… ”School is tough for me and the only reason I am in this goodie two-shoe school is because of my sister”-Kokoro. ”Kokoro don’t put yourself down. You are smart too… Like you fixed the classroom lights and heaters when they broke”-Asuka says while trying to be nice. ”Wow, I’m an electrician now”-I. Asuka giggles. “Yeah, you are”-Asuka. ”K, good to know”-Kokoro… ”Just continue trying Kokoro. Make sure to study before chem starts ”-Asuka says while looking up at me cutely. ”Yeah, sure okay”-Kokoro says while looking away embarrassed. We enter the insides of the school and walk to our class together. I feel like my heart is about to explode...This feeling, I love it... I gaze at her as we walk, I like this feeling in my stomach. My body tenses up with energy. We're just walking through the halls together. But, somehow it's so amazing. ”… Asuka, you doing anything today”-Kokoro finally says. "Yeah we got that test and school, but if you are talking about after school, not really ”-she says. ”You wanna do something like karaoke or eat out”-Kokoro says nervously… “Sure”-Asuka energetically says. Let’s go!!! ”I can sing you know”-Asuka. ”Sure”-Kokoro quipped. “Hey! You will find out then, and you will be wrong..”-Asuka ”K, after class today is it”- Kokoro confidently says. She smiles. ”kaay, I’m looking forward to it,”-Asuka smiles. We walk into class together… Asuka scuttles to her friends. Kokoro collapses onto the school tile floor from pressure and relief and joy and excitement. “How cute was she”-Kokoro’s head. Kokoro covers his face to hide his huge grin. Sado canters up to Kokoro. ”How did it go."-Sado asks. He glances down at Kokoro's face. “Ah, it went gooood. You flirted..“-Sado makes fun of Kokoro…. ”y-Yooooo buzz off duuuude” -Kokoro.

1st period (Class Start!). All I can think about is Asuka. Kokoro leans back in his chair as he reminisces his memories with Asuka. ”Kokoro. what shape is this”-Mr. Azegima points on the board. It usually calms me down thinking about Asuka, but today it’s making things worse because I have a date with her. ”Shiiiiiikaku”-Kokoro announces.(square in Japanese, he pronounces it like that because Asuka's first name is Shiromi). Kokoro peers at the touchscreen. I’m saved, a square is on the board. The class laughs. ”Kokoro you are a dumbass. The shape only has one pair of parallel sides. That’s a trapezoid! No matter how you look at it. Pay attention.”-Mr. Azemiga lectures me. I am done with geometry…

The day went on. 2nd period. Kokoro goes from slightly cool to coo coo for cocoa puffs~. Kokoro glances at Asuka. I want to talk to her. Kokoro struts over to Asuka. “Hey you going to eat that”-Kokoro points to Asuka’s jelly toast. “No you can have it.”-Asuka. “When is your dance competition”-Kokoro noms the toast. “It’s on Saturday. Are you coming ”-Asuka. “Sure”-Kokoro eats the bread. ”Kokoro, I just got a text from my dad. He said it’s fine for me to go out with you today, but he’ll peel off all your skin if I’m not back by 8…”-Asuka whispers into my ear. ” All right-”-Kokoro says before he gets cut off by Asuka. "I'm sure, he doesn't mean it. My dad is protective "-Asuka whispers in my ear. ”Okay, tthats gooooood”-Kokoro felt god! Her voice is so soothing… It tingles my dick. ”Kokoro are you okay, You're staring off again”- Asuka questioningly asks. Asuka suddenly turns her head to the side embarrassed. Did-did s-she see my boner? No no no no no no no no no. SHIT HSHTI SHITI SHITI SHITI. ”I was very close to Kokoro?”-Asuka’s mind. "Everyone go to your seats, class is about to begin!” - Mr.Sumāto. ”Kay”-Whole class. “Today in chemistry” -Mr. Sumato… My mind cuts the teacher off. I glimpse at Asuka. She is paying attention to Mr. Sumato. But the way she is tilting her head. I can tell! Her head is in the clouds!!! I wonder what she is thinking about. However, unlike Asuka. Kokoro’s head isn’t pointing at the teacher. WAIT A MINUTE... Why Is HER HEAD at a 66-Degree left turn, right now? What the fuck is she thinking so hard about? “Is this considered a date? Probably not… But it’ll be fun to get free food. Kokoro’s been acting weird lately. I wonder what is bothering him.”-Asuka’s head. What if Asuka is thinking about another boy? A rich smart prep boy!!!

10:00. Is it 3:00 yet? Why is it only 10! Dangit. 12:00. 3 more hours w-w-wait w-wwhat I am going to talk about. What if we just stay silent the whole time……………. It’s so close, but so far! 2:00. 1 hour. I’ve lived at least 135780 hours of my life and I have only 1 puny hour until our date. Shit Shit shit. Wait… what if I mess up? What If I freeze up and can't talk? What if it's awkward? What if I'm annoying? What if I'm… 3:00.*The Bell rings*.

“Yo! Shall we go through toWn toget-ther.!”-Kokoro jitters. ” Okay,”-Asuka giggles. We walk out of the classroom. I got to make this date good. Asuka and Kokoro go to karaoke. Once they sing and laugh at Kokoro they walk to a park. We walk together on the gravel pathway. Suddenly a dog gallops towards Kokoro and Asuka. The dog is trotting-friendly, but I’ll still be cautious. The dog sniffs Asuka. ”Puppy, Puppy”-Asuka. The dog licks her hand. ”So you like dogs”-Kokoro. ”mhm, Dogs are cute” -Asuka says cutely. ”You don’t have a dog at home, right”-Kokoro asks. ” Yeah, my mom doesn't like dogs”-Asuka. ”That’s dumb, If you want I can be your dog”-Kokoro blindly states. Asuka and Kokoro stare at each other. Asuka blinks. Kokoro blinks. ”Wait I didn’t mean it like that”-Kokoro moves his hands around randomly. Asuka continues to stare at Kokoro. ”*Hahaha*, you're so stupid Kokoro!”-Asuka laughs fully. ”I s-suddenly don’t like hanging around the dog.” -Kokoro splutters. ”oKay,”-Asuka cheerfully reasons. Kokoro and Asuka stroll across a tiny stream of water. A group of kids play in the water basin. ”So how was your childhood ”-Kokoro asks. “It was normal. I took a lot of lessons. ”-Asuka. "Yeah you seem like the proper take classy piano lessons type"-Kokoro teases Asuka. "I guess"-Asuka sasses. ”You didn't run around and adventure your neighborhood”-Kokoro. “No? But look who’s acting like a dog, running around the neighborhood, how cute”- she says meanly. ”Im Ignoring that”-Kokoro smiles. He gaze at Asuka.” Tag”-Kokoro pokes Asuka's nose. ”Tag?”-Asuka.”Get me”-Kokoro sticks his tongue out at Asuka. Asuka reaches out to tag Kokoro, but he pulls his body back. Asuka reaches again and again, then she slips. Kokoro slides down the hill and catches Asuka as she falls. ”See fun”-Kokoro. Kokoro opens his eyes and freezes. Asuka's eyes tense up. She's perched in Kokoro’s lap. ”Yeah, fun”-Asuka smiles. Asuka leans in closer to Kokoro……. and tags him. “You are it”-Asuka giggles. *whoosh* She threw some dirt on me. Asuka stands up, turns around, and grins. ”Ha, L”-Asuka giggles as she holds up an L with her white nails.

Kokoro lies on the green grass. Asuka is beside him. I'm tired. I used too much of my brain, today. That chem test really wore me out. Kokoro peer at Asuka. Asuka is gazing up at the blue sky. She’s picturesque. Her appearance shines with the sun. A fuzzy feeling appears inside Kokoro. He closes his eyes as he lays on the soft fertile grass. Kokoro dimly drifts off… Nothing exists except this rope. Why was it there? I don't know. But it was there in front of my eyes. The rope was in a knot. I had to untie it. I reach out my hand and grab it. It felt rough against my flaky skin. I pull the rope closer. I Untie. Untie. Untie. and Untie. I untie this rope… If I don’t untie it something horrible will happen… Untie the rope. Untie the rope. I pull the knots out one by one. The nothingness surrounds me. I cannot be absorbed. Untie. Untie. Loopy loop… Done! The rope was finally in one straight line. The space around me fills up with sunlight. Yellow, orange bright flashes. The light absorbs the rope. And me.

Kokoro wakes up. I feel my hair be scratched and moved around. Is Asuka touching my hair? Her hands are so soft. Asuka pulls her hand back. She grabs her water bottle. Kokoro grabs her hand. Asuka freezes and stares at Kokoro. Kokoro squints his eyes. Oooo, she didn't realize I’ve woken… They stare at each other. 1 second goes by. 2 seconds go by. 3 seconds go buy. 4 se-. They both turn away. “I’m sorry that I scared you”-Kokoro. ”No, that’s umm, I was petting your hair”-Asuka states nervously. She's coy. ”It felt........good”-Kokoro shyly states. ”ah umm okay” -Asuka flusters. A minute passes…. “Thanks“-Kokoro. ”Why are you thanking me”-Asuka asks. “don’t know. Felt like it -He says as he shrugs. Asuka giggles. “Ur wierd Kokoro”- Asuka. “I’m not weird”- Kokoro. They stare at each other. ”Hey, stop staring at each other. Just get a fucking room and fuck already you fucking aroused adolescent teens. Some of us don’t get the fucking chance to be in love because all the women fucking hate me. Why Why WHY do they all hate me!”-Random Angry Guy. Kokoro and Asuka get embarrassed. Kokoro waves, then flips his middle finger at the random guy. ”umm Kokoro? Why did you point your middle finger at him?”-Asuka. ”It’s some thing”-Kokoro. ”Oo okay.”-Asuka.

Time goes by. ”Kokoro, why do you keep on going to Sumiyai high, even though you don’t like it”- Asuka. Sumiyai high is a rich prestigious school as you know. I complain about it a lot. “I can't just leave "-Kokoro states. Asuka gives me her sassy stare. "And My sister, it would be mean, just to leave her alone and go to another school. Plus I have some other reasons”- I. I don't have enough money and I don't want to leave Asuka. “Oh well, It’s good that you are here"-Asuka says with a grin. That felt good. ”Thanks, I’m glad I’m here "-Kokoro. More time passes and I can tell Asuka is getting hungry; by her body movements. ”Ima get us some takoyaki"-Kokoro. "Okay, thanks"-she says. Kokoro walks up to the Takoyaki stand. Weird I think I’ve seen this guy before. His dark maroon hair color and tone of speech reminds me of someone. ”Hey, Can I get 2 takoyaki"-Kokoro. ”Sure, but wait, a little. That curvy office worker is wearing brown fishnet stockings that are just so hot on her, o so long legs, dude. I want to bang that shit so hard." -Weird Guy. ”K, thanks for sharing with the class”-Kokoro. ”Nice joke kiddo”-Wierd Guy. The weird guy finally puts the Takoyaki on the grill. He moves the takoyaki around and then stops. "Wow that teen girl has a pretty face, she looks innocent, like Virgin Mary”-Weird guy. “I know right, she is the hottest girl I’ve seen. The way she crosses her legs, is so …"-Kokoro. ”ayy dude you know your stuff”- Weird guy. Asuka, the girl sitting on the bench waves at me. ”woww she’s waving at me… ”-Kokoro waves back. “You like her dude”-Wambo asks. “Yep”-Kokoro. "Really, nice. You bang her yet. ”n-No,”-Kokoro. "You planning to fuck her"-Wierd Guy. ”Hopefully. But saying that I would like to bang her may be crude"-Kokoro smiles bashfully. ”You are kind dude. Here's your takoyaki, I made it taste extra for your girl" -Wierd guy. Not creepy at all. ”Thanks. You didn't drug it. You seem like the type of person who drugs people”-Kokoro states blatantly. ”Nah I wouldn't do that to you kid”-Weird guy. Okay. Kokoro begins to walk away. ”Hey, kid what’s your name“-Weird guy asks. ”Kokoro, yours?''-Kokoro. “Wambo… Have a nice date kid!”-Weird guy says with a smile. ”Thanks, see ya!”-Kokoro. Kokoro walks up to Asuka. ”Here”-he gives her the takoyaki. ”Thank you"-Asuka.

”You suck at tag you know”-Kokoro. ”Hey! I wasn’t horrible”-Asuka pushes Kokoro back. Cute. Kokoro turns away to look at his phone. 8:00. ”Umm, Kokoro ”-Asuka mutters but gets cut off. ”Yeah I know it’s getting late. I'll take you home”-Kokoro. "Thanks" -Asuka. Me and Asuka stay quiet. It's dark outside. I have to walk across the city to get to the rich part of the town. That's where Asuka lives. We walk down the hollow alleyway. I feel weird. *Augh*. Pain. My head throbs. My stomach feels sick. The pain deepens. Kokoro kneels to the ground. ”Kokoro, are you okay?”-Asuka says, concerned. ”Yeah, *augh* I’m fine, my head just got a little heavy. C'mon let’s get you home”-Kokoro. "Okay"-Asuka says nervously. “Yeah”-Kokoro. I n-need to get Asuka home. Quick. The Air is moving. *BOOM*. A bullet goes through Kokoro’s left leg. “Ahhhhh”-Asuka screams. Blood oozes from Kokoro's thigh. Red. I see my blood floating in the air. I see bodies. ”I'mma kill them”-Kokoro mutter coldly. “The fuck is this weakling, saying”-Guy 1. ”Don’t know, but his existence is getting irritating”-Guy 3. My leg doesn’t feel that bad. ”Asuka get behind me.”-Kokoro commands. Asuka silently moves behind. ”Stay close to me” -Kokoro. ”oo-kay”-Asuka quavered. Asuka's body shivers. These guys are trying to do stuff to Asuka! They are trying to kill me, then traumatize Asuka! I won’t let them! Three bodies. Kokoro grins. I see one body to my left, he moves in closer. Kokoro kicks the body to the left away. I feel guy 2 run at me from behind. Kokoro turns and swings his fist at the body. Kokoro hits his cheek, he falls to the ground. Good. Kokoro glances at Asuka. She’s alone. He peeps back to the hoodlums. Guy 3 appears in front. Kokoro tries to sweep his leg, but guy 3 dodges. Kokoro gets into a fighting stance; he puts his hands up. Kokoro swings at the body before him as he steps forward to keep pressure. Kokoro hits. Kokoro punches and punches and punches and punches. Over and over and over. "Die die die die die"-Kokoro mumbles. Body 1 runs at me with a knife. Kokoro swiftly steps outside of his range and he pushes Guy 1’s shoulder away. I feel something heavy looming from behind. Fear awakens. *Boom*. Kokoro's body drops. “OWW”-Kokoro. A gunshot hit my back. Asuka sobs in the corner. ”Boss you got him”- guy 3 states with appreciation. ”HOW the fuck did you GUYS NOT BEAT HIM SHITLESS. IT’S ONE PUNY KID. HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A WEAPON”-Gang Boss angrily mutts. “Hey! girl you want to have fun with us”-the Gang Boss coaxed as he pointed to his car. ”*sigh*. I’ll go. But please don’t injure Kokoro anymore… And let me call an ambulance for him."-Asuka frets with tears! ”Ambulance? I’ll make sure he’ll be alright. Soon He Won’t Feel a Thing”-Gang Boss. “Don’t Kill Him!”-Asuka pleads as she walks up to the gang boss. DON’T RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME! Slut”-Gang Boss states as he pushes Asuka. Asuka falls knees first onto the rocky pavement. “I’ll fuck your insides later girly. Boys tie the kid up!”-Gang Boss Commands! "Yes"-Gang members 1-3 say. Dizzy. The world is shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky. Kokoro controls the pain. The gang henchmen tie Kokoro up. Kokoro doesn’t resist at all. Kokoro listens. "How is your boyfriend going to get silenced? A bullet to the head. An accidental overdose. Beaten to death beneath our feet. Or Choked to death"-Gang boss. "..."-Asuka stays silent. The Gang Boss stares at Asuka. She is defeated. ”We're going to remove him, and remove him gooood. Tie the kid up and make him watch us rape his girlfriend”-Gang Boss states with a smirk. "Your boyfriend is suffering. Slowly dying with bullets in him. Don’t you want to help him? I can be convinced“-Gang Boss. He grabs Asuka’s hand. ”Stop!”-Asuka screams out in a panic. The gang boss stands still. “You don’t care.”-Gang Boss informs Asuka. The Gang boss raises his fist and slams down on Asuka's face. Asuka's body flings back from the impact. The boss’s knuckles create a red bruise on Asuka’s cheek. Asuka sits up, she glances at Kokoro. She stares at him. "He’s going to die. Then after I will impregnate you. Don’t worry I have some connections so I’ll be safe.”-Gang boss explains to Asuka… "... Kokoro”-Asuka quietly mumbles. He punched Asuka… HE punched Asuka. HE PUNCHED ASUKA. He Harmed Her… YOU WON’T RAPE ASUKA! YOU WON’T TOUCH ASUKA. YOU WON'T HURT HER ANYMORE! I GOTTA MOVE. I GOTTA MOVE. I GOTTA MOVE. I GOTTA MOVE. I GOTTA MOVE. I GOTTA MOVE. I WANNA MOVE. I WANNA MOVE. LET ME MOVE! MOVE BODY! MOVE BODY! MOVE BODY! MOVE BODY! MOVE BODY MOVE! I WON’T LET YOU RAPE HER. I WON’T LET HER DIE! I WON’T LET HER DIE! I NEED TO SAVE HER MOVE. MOVE. MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE. MOVE MOVE MOOOOOOOOOOVE BOOOOOODYEEEEEEE I Love her. Untie the rope. Untie the rope. *Pop*. Kokoro cracks. *Snap* . The rope tied around Kokoro seamlessly becomes untied into pieces. My body. *Heart Beat*. Kokoro stares at his body in awe. T-They, they, have cracks in them. *Heart Beat*. My limbs are tearing apart. *Heart Beat*. "*Haaa*"-Kokoro breathes out. ”Danny, make him watch me finish in his girl. After I cum I’ll brutalize him. Though It's going to be quick. Her ass is lookin' scrumptious”-Gang Boss' scratchy voice echos throughout his brain. ”*Baaa*” -Kokoro breathes out. Kokoro stands up. Kokoro surveys all of them with quick head movements. The gang members glare at Kokoro. ”Kokoro you're alive” -Asuka says relieved. ”How da fuck"-Guy 3. Kokoro disappears and appears in front of guy 3. Kokoro punches guy 3 in his stomach while pulling his left hand back. Guy 3’s stomach explodes as Kokoro's punch goes through. Blood scatters into the sky like a firework. His body is like a mountain with a huge cave inside. My legs move so fast. ”I won’t let you touch Asuka”-Kokoro say. “WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS DUDE"-Guy 2 yells in fear! *Bang*. "Wide. Any one of those bullets can hit Asuka. Gotta be faster."-Kokoro thinks quickly while closing in on guy 2. Kokoro appears in front of guy 2 and jabs his face with the back of his hand. ”*Fucker*”-Kokoro mutters under his breath. Guy 2’s body ricochets into the wall. Blood leaks from guy 2’s head. The blood drips down his neck and through his shirt. Kokoro points his feet toward guy 1. Kokoro swiftly steps with his toes curled to the ground. Kokoro appears in front of guy 1. Kokoro jabs guy 1 in the face; yet his body explodes from the impact. Blood flies out in all directions like a beaten pinata. Dang It, some of his blood splattered on Asuka…. *Bang*. *Bang*. *Bang*. The gang boss shoots 4 times. *whiz*. I dodged the first bullet. *whiz*. I dodged the second shot. *POP*. The third bullet hits Kokoro's knee. *fwew* Kokoro dodges the final shell and appears in front of the gang boss. Kokoro grabs his shirt. ”FUCKER TRIED TO RAPE ASUKA” -Kokoro to the Gang Boss! ”I wanna do that”-he says under his breath. "THOSE LINES. HOW DID YOU-"-Gang Boss yells before getting cut off. "FUCKER PUNCHED ASUKAAAAAA "-Kokoro rips the Gang Boss’s body in half. Down the middle like a piece of paper. The Gang Boss's raw inner flesh becomes contaminated by the musty air. His raw inner organs lay for the Burakumins (homeless) to gawk. The Gang Boss’s brain guts spew across the pavement. The Gang boss’s testosterone-filled ballsack rest are split into halves; for they look like a hard-boiled egg cut in half.

”I won’t let you kill Asuka”-Kokoro breathes heavily. It’s over. ”Asuka you okay?”- Kokoro beams as he twirls to gaze at Asuka. ”Yes. I-i’m fine.”-Asuka. Asuka glances at Kokoro. "Kokoro. I thought you were going to die. Yet you're still alive. You need to get to the hospital! You just got shot. And why does your body look like that? It has black lines all over it!"-Asuka. ”I’ll be fine”-Kokoro says. *Heart pound*. My heart is so loud. ”Are you sure”-Asuka. *Hear pound*. “Kokoro! Your body, the lines are getting bigger! Kokoro. how is this fine!”-Asuka yells in terror sassily. Kokoro kneels down on the pavement. Kokoro stays there speechless fighting the pain in his head. Sadly the wall breaks. ”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”-He Screames. It’s my 7th muscle cramp this month. I knew that cramps in my muscles weren’t safe. I still need to get Asuka home. ”A-asuka I-i n-need… h-home”-Kokoro slurred. ”Kokoro, You can’t take me home your body is tearing apart”-Asuka shuddered. Her face looked sad. Kind of makes me happy. “Ahhh”-Kokoro roared. Why. My muscles are rubbing against each other; Clashing like 2 tectonic plates. *Whosh*. Asuka gapes at the creation. "Help, Someone, Something help us"-Asuka screeched for a greater power. Are there more gang members? Kokoro jolt my head up. ”My body is creating a black hole…”-Kokoro screams out. A black hole has appeared from Kokoro’s body. I don’t want to have any regrets. I have to tell her. ”Asuka…”-Kokoro. “Yes!”-Asuka. ”I-I… like you”-Kokoro say. ”What?”-Asuka says. Kokoro pushes Asuka back. Asuka will live and I will die. As long as she lives, everything will be great. "Run!!!"-Kokoro screams at Asuka. Asuka stares at Kokoro with sentiment. Asuka turns and runs away. Further and further away. Kokoro steadily watches Asuka run out of the alleyway and into the more crowded street. Damn, who knew Asuka was so fast. Kokoro grins. His body slips closer to the hole. What does one even think when he is about to die? Don’t know, but maybe I can hold on enough to survive. The black hole will dissipate by itself I’m sure of it. Then I can get back home to Tsuki. Tsuki… She’ll be alone but it’ll be fine. She has friends and I’m sure she’ll recover. She’ll have lost Mom, Dad, and me, but she’s smart so she will just power through… She won’t be okay. Tired. Why am I so tired? Using all this brain is so much work. But the will dissipate by itself and I will be back home with Tsuki. Maybe Mom and Dad will be there too. ”Kokoro! I can't just go home and forget everything. I have school tomorrow and you won’t be there. The next day and the day after that. I wouldn’t be able to keep it to myself”-Asuka cries out from afar. ” I’ve got this handled. I'll be at school tomorrow. Now scram"-Kokoro. "You got this? You are crazy. Do you see the situation we are in.”-Asuka. “If a black hole can appear out of thin air then it should be possible for it to leave.”-Kokoro. “This shouldn’t be possible in the first place. Blackholes don’t just appear"-Asuka. "Well, clearly they do”-Kokoro. Kokoro tightens his grip on the concrete street, but his fingers give out. Kokoro's lower body flies towards the black hole. Asuka rushes to Kokoro and grabs his shoulders. She attempts to drag him back. "What are you doing"-Kokoro to Asuka. "Saving your life"-Asuka shouts out. Kokoro grabs Asuka's hand, he yanks it off of his shoulder. Asuka slaps his hand away. Asuka stares into Kokoro’s red eyes. Her life flashes before her eyes.
