Its blood...

Seeing Ayane sitting in front of her in such a pitiful manner boosted her inner authority over her.

"Look at you... lying there... did you think I would let you go even if you sit like that???", she screamed in rage.

"Give me the due money. I know you have it."

"I don't..."

"Don't lie to me!!! Do you expect me to believe in that when you went to a date???"

"I went to the date with zero money on my pockets..."

She clenched her teeth because she needed the money from Ayane, but she couldn't get it. Enraged, she kicked Ayane, who was on the ground, on her stomach.

*cough *cough.

"... its blood...", blood came out of Ayane's mouth. The kick hit harder than Sakiko thought it would, but she didn't care.

Ayane's body fell apart, as she laid on the ground. The sleeve of her arm went up, revealing the bruise she got.

"Oooh, the bruise that I gave you that time still remained! I am shocked!", Sakiko exclaimed, "I should give you some more pain for not paying me up in due time."

She looked down at Ayane as if she were an animal, before getting on top of her and lifting her legs. She was still wearing shoes, not caring for house etiquette.

Without hesitation, she slammed her feet on the exact spot Ayane had the bruise, with the heel of she shoe. Not once, not twice, but many times.

Ayane couldn't scream, even if she wanted to. Tears just rolled out of her eyes, wanting peace, just of once.

"If you want me to stop, give me the money.", she said, still slamming her feet on her arm.

"I don't have it...", Ayane replied, sobbing.

"Then ask your boyfriend to give you the money!!", she yelled.

"He is not my boyfriend!!!", Ayane mustered the courage to speak up. To which Sakiko stopped her torture.

"What do you mean?"

"... we a-aren't dating...", Ayane said, looking away.

Sakiko grinned for some reason. It seemed like another thought just came across her mind. It a somewhat cheerful mood, she left the house, before kicking Ayane in her hand.

Ayane didn't move after she had left. She stayed there, for a few moments to regain the energy.

After about ten minutes, she finally got up to close the door.

"What- is happening-"

As she got up, her vision went blurry, her eyes went dark and her body lost its energy. She could feel her body temperature rising bit by bit, but she couldn't do anything.

She collapsed onto the floor in front of the front door. Her head hurted and she feels nauseous.

"I see... I shouldn't have taken double dose of painkillers twice a day, even with this much pain..."

She lost her consciousness.

It was the next day that she woke up to her room, on her bed, confused.
