*MITSURU FUKUYAMA *
"IT'S HERE!! EVERYONE!! RUN AND HIDE!! The ghost is going to catch you!!!"
She didn't say 'ghosts'... It's a specific-...
"You deserve to die..."
Why is it when I think about Hinami's death, she always pops into my mind...? Especially, her death...
"WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!"
"Sorry, Mitsuru..... I'm going... to die..."
Wait! They both knew, they were going to die... and then, died by suicide!... But, Mahiru died by suicide not Hinami...
Unless...She was to framed to have killed herself!-
"AH!" I groaned in pain.
"Mitsuru! Are you ok?!" Sayuri came over to me.
My head suddenly started pounding! "It kills!" I held my head with enough pressure.
"We probably shouldn't think too much about this..." Maehara suggested.
"Yeah, he's right... I'm sure the police will figure it out...!" Yusari said.
"And if they don't... They'll leave us with a damn murderer!" I said, backing out from their suggestion, I know we have to do something or else...
"He's right..." Sayuri agreed with me. "We should tell Mr Shintaru."
"Ah! That's right!" Yusari bursted out loud.
"What?... Can't you see I'm suffering?..." I had no reason to say that...but I did...
"Mr Shintaru has already been through enough...! He can't take anymore of this..." She explained.
"Now is not the time!" Maehara interrupted.
"No! You don't get it!"
"What is it?! Tell us, Yusari!" Sayuri desperately asked.
"I can't... I promised to keep it a secret..." Yusari seemed to be hiding something deep about Shintaru, under that redness in her cheeks.
But why is she blushing...?
"Are you going to tell us or not?!" I demanded it straight.
"Well..." She averted her eyes.
There's no time to waste, we need that killer out!
"Fine!" She finally gave in. "Mr Shintaru has already seen someone die like this! But, he believes that Mr Sawashiro killed her!"
"What?!" We were all shocked by this sudden confession.
"But it still doesn't make sense to me! Because the person that 'killed' herself was Yuki! Sawashiro's daughter!" Yusari continued.
"He killed his own daughter...?" I couldn't grasp who we were dealing with.
"How do you know this?!" Maehara asked.
"I... eves dropped on their conversation... Mr Shintaru knows..." It seems like this story won't end just yet...as Yusari continues to explain.
"Who's Yuki?..." Sayuri asked.
"Mr Shintaru's previous lover..."
*HASHIBA MAEHARA *
Then...how can Yusari ever have a chance?! If he's lost his lover to suicide... There's no way!... and Yusari knows this... how doe she plan to confess?...
"I got it..." It seems like Mitsuru had cracked the code.
"What?..."
"It makes sense..."
"What?!" I can't take the suspension!
"None if them were suicides... They were all killed!"
"Who...?" Yusari asked, to make sure.
"Mahiru... Yuki... Hinami..." Who's Mahiru?...
"Ah... My sister... committed suicide... though that was 9 years ago..." Mitsuru confessed his own secret.
*MITSURU FUKUYAMA *
"Yuki's death was about...4 years ago...Now, Hinami's death..." Yusari mumbled to herself.
But that's not the point.
"Oh! There's 5 years in between all of the deaths!" She... 'calculated'...
"Congratulations! Your math is still shit!..." Maehara clapped... But we're getting off track!
"Point is!... They were all killed, left as suicides... Suicidal killings!" I resorted.
"But...in Yuki's case...how do you know hers wasn't a suicide?..." Sayuri asked curiously.
"Because, you just said that Sawashiro killed her right?" I answered while looking at Yusari, since she made that statement.
"No, that's what Mr Shintaru said!" Then I believe him...
"Well, he's right... he has sharp intuitive skills...remember when he caught you guys lying..."
"Don't ever lie to me... I know exactly when a person is lying..."
"Oh, yeah!" Maehara came to this realisation.
"And if he confronted this to Sawashiro, whether he lied or not, Shintaru would still know the truth!"
"Wait! That's exactly what happened!" Yusari exclaimed.
"So...Are you saying that... Mr Sawashiro...killed his own daughter...?" Sayuri seemed very uncanny about this.
"Yeah, so?" I said nonchalantly. I don't see a problem with someone killing their family... Family doesn't have mean their 'loved one'...
"Serial killers always kill their family... It's the only way to escape the hell they were raised in... it makes sense...right?..."
Of course, Sawashiro ain't a normal man...
"It may be possible that Mahiru was killed by him too..." I concluded.
"Well, does he know about her death...?" Maehara asked.
"Yes..." But how did he know...? "However, he also told me that his daughter 'committed suicide'...! If the police close this case to be a suicide, then it will be the same cycle over and over again!"
"So, what you're saying is..." Yusari repeated my hypothesis to clarify. "That...Mr Sawashiro...has killed all three of them; Mahiru, your sister... Yuki, his daughter... and Miss Hinami... Are all killings... but he made them look like suicides?!..."
"Yes! All three of them were victims!"
*YUSARI AKABANE *
It makes sense now...
"I'm doing my job...I'm delivering Karma to those who deserve it..."
That's what...a murderer would say... I can imagine him...standing up there... and pushing them to their deaths...
"I knew it! I knew I couldn't trust him!"
"We have to find a way to tell the police that it's him... But I'm sure Mr Shintaru will be able to do it, since he believes that Sawashiro killed his lover... And let's not forget that Hinami screamed while she fell..." Mitsuru said.
"So? What's that supposed to mean?..." Maehara said confused.
"A person being killed would only rest to screaming as a way for someone to save them..." Sayuri said, but she seemed so serious.
"Woah!~ I didn't expect you to say that, little Miss Jackson..." Mitsuru seemed impressed and winked at her.
*TOSHIRO SHINTARU *
"This is a suicide case..." The police officer spoke, into his radio speaker.
"What?!" I felt so outraged.
"All evidence proves that this woman went to the rooftop by herself and committed suicide."
"What evidence?!"
"Security cameras."
I'm sure someone tampered with the door, to the roof, because it must've been locked.
"Have you checked the rooftop?!-" I yelled at the officer in charge.
"Yes! There was no second person involved!... This can't possibly be a homicide!"
I'm sure there was a way...Because Hinami wouldn't have wanted to kill herself...!
"No! I'm sure it was a murder! She would never kill herself like that! You must've missed something!"
The officer looked at me, suspiciously, he's probably suspecting me...!
"Listen...I know you're shocked at the moment, but please, control your emotions... We'll handle everything... Don't worry..." The office said reassuring me.
"I'm sorry but Toshiro doesn't handle his emotions very well!..." I voice from behind, I recognise that very well... It's Sawashiro...
"I'll leave you two now... I must get going." He bowed.
But he can't go yet! They haven't found the killer!
The officer takes his leave.
"What the hell do you want?" I turn and look at him with resentment in my eyes.
"Why are you so angry?..." He's awfully happy. He doesn't give a damn at all!
"You said, you'll take care of her!"
"No... I said... I'll take care of it..." He's subjecting her as a thing! He... killed her!
"You did it!!!" That's it! Emotions aside.... I am furious!
I grabbed him by his collar and pushed him to the wall, it alerted everyone. I didn't give a shit! I know it was him!!
*YUSARI AKABANE *
I heard a loud bang! That's when I decided to stick my head out from the corner of the wall, to see what it was, I just hope I want noticed by anyone... I saw Mr Shintaru pinning Sawashiro against the wall.
It looks like he's about to punch him, however, it wasn't a clear view, there was people surrounding them, but I managed to see something.
"Did you kill her?!"
"Who are you talking about again?..."
I can tell that he's mocking it as a joke, I can imagine his wicked smile. Doesn't this imply that he may have killed so many people to even understand who he has killed!
"How can you...? ARGH! HINAMI!! Did you kill Hinami?!"
Nobody seemed to have stopped them, since they were also seeking answers.
"Me..? I want there, I was in my office the whole time... You can even check...I never left..."
A policeman immediately went over to the reception desk to find out.
"That's not what I asked?! Did you kill her?!" Shintaru was frustrated and stressed out about the situation.
"I...Don't know..." What?... How can you not know?!
There's something dodgy here, I know it!
"What?..." Shintaru slowly released him.
"The last time you accused me for killing someone was when my daughter killed herself... and I can assure you that I was in no part of it... seems to me that you just hate me... That's why you're accusing me!
Officer! I suggest that this fiend needs his mind fixed out, or maybe arrest him for killing my daughter!"
But he didn't do it! You can't arrest him!"
"I'm sorry, sir. But I can't do that... This case has nothing to do with your daughter... However, I suspect the both of you, we'll need to interrogate you both!..." The police officer said.
NO! I left my hiding spot and slowly walked toward them... I know who's right!... I opened my mouth to speak vut no words came out.. Because. .. He saw me... smiling... His hideous smile made me shiver through my spine! I froze and before I knew it, they were both gone...
*SAYURI SCHREIBER *
It's been a while sine Yusari went to check the situation going on downstairs... I'm worried. Maehara is it ting on the chair, on his phone. But Mitsuru...He's laying on his bed with his hands under his head... staring silently at the ceiling, he's thinking too much...
"Hey... Sayuri. When's your birthday?" Maehara suddenly asked me something so random.
"The 2nd of November... so we still got a long time yet."
"Oh, so I'm older than you too..." So that's the reason why!
"What about you, Mitsuru?..." I'm sure Mitsuru is already 18. But Mitsuru isn't responding.
"Hey! Misturu!" Maehara shouted.
"What?!" He sprung up so quickly that me and Maehara flinched in fear.
"Um... When is your birthday?..." he sounds nervous, who can blame him?
"What?!" Misturu looks confused.
"Your birthday...! You know the day you were born?!" Maehara clarified but Misturu still looked unimpressed.
"Why do you need to know?!" He exclaimed, but in a harsh tone.
"Just tell me!!"
"Huh?!" Ok, now he's shouting.
"Maehara just wants to know if you're older than him...!" I had to join the conversation or else it would turn into a monstrous mess!
Mitsuru sighed... he looked down in thought...
"The 10th of....July- No....Uh....June!...." he doesn't even know his own birthday!
"Oh, ok... So, I'm older than everyone..." Is that what you're thinking about?! Idiot... He sure doesn't act like it...
Maehara looks back on his phone and Mitsuru lays back down....
.....
After a short pause....I'm still waiting... I'm just standing here like... Is no one gonna mention it...?
"HUH?!!"
"Shut up!! Idiot-!!!"
"You're gonna be 18 in the next three days!!!" He finally came to the realisation.
He ran toward Mitsuru and began shaking him.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?!!!"
"What's the big deal...? I'm just growing older like everyone else..." Woah... it seems like Mitsuru hasn't celebrated his birthday before....
"It's coming up soon... We should do something to celebrate!" I suggested.
"Yeah!" Maehara is getting so excited.
"What?... I don't need to celebrate... I don't really care about my birthday..."
"Yeah, no kidding... You didn't even remember the date you were born..."
Didn't he celebrate his birthday with his family?...
"Well! I think it will be fun to celebrate your birthday!... Because this TIME! You've got us!" Maehara said full of joy.
Mitsuru looked at him, coldly, until he lifted a genuine smile.
"That sounds sweet... but I'd rather stay away from everyone on that day..."
*MITSURU FUKUYAMA *
I can't be around people... not on that day...
"But it's your birthday... Haven't you ever celebrated your birthday with your sister...?" What the f*ck does he know?!
Sure...She used to celebrate my birthday...but in her own f*cking way...! I don't want to remember! Get out of my f*cking mind!! Leave me alone!!
I can't handle it!!.... Get out! I don't want to think about it! I can't control it!! I'm angry... I feel like a f*cking monster!!
"Of course I did.... I really love the presents she gave me...." I smiled at them, revealing a piece of my disgusting past! "But she's dead!... I don't celebrate birthdays! Now, shut up!"
Sayuri sighed, "I knew you should've stayed quiet..." At least she has some common sense!
"Guys!" Yusari finally opened the door.
"What happened?" I asked while standing up.
"Wait!- a second...!" She ran all the way up here... She's still panting.
"Mr Shintaru was onto him!" Thank goodness!
"Yes!-" Maehara said cheering however...
"But! There is some bad news..." Yusari interrupted.
"What is it?!"
"The police thinks it's a suicide!... and because Mr Shintaru and Sawashiro's fight!, they're both suspects!" What! Why would Shintaru be so irrational?!
"Did they arrest anyone?!" I asked.
"Not yet... I was about to stop them...but I was too late..."
"What did Shintaru say?" Maehara asked.
"He asked him, if he did it... And he said 'I don't know...'"
What kind of answer is that?! After that, Yusari told us everything but now...all we need to do is wait...
Shit!
To be continued. . .
