Yoi's POV
I was about to get up when I heard a shrieking scream. My eyes quickly widened when I saw Maddohatta sitting while tying a naked man on the table. I saw him earlier he was one of the reporters waiting for me outside. God, what's happening?
"This is the inhuman you're talking about Yoi. And I'll show you more of this,"
Maddohatta said seriously while tying up the reporter who looked brazenly on me. I wanted to help him out but I could do nothing, my legs were chained and I could not get close to them.
"Please stop this,"
I begged to him, and my endless tears won't stop coming out of my eyes which made him looked at me angrily. Am I facing Death himself right now? I was swallowed up by the gleam of deviltry in his eyes as he looked at me as if a fiery needle was stabbing me all over my body. I hugged myself. I felt am having a fever. What is he? I closed my eyes.
"Open your eyes. Or I'll torture your best friend next to him."
I immediately looked at him because of what he said. N-no way.
"W-who are you? Why are you doing this?"
The reporter asked him angrily. Maddohatta chuckled softly then left that room.
"I can see it now. You are not related to him, are you?"
"I don't even know him and I also don't understand why he doesn't kill me,"
My sad response. We looked at the door at the same time when it opened and Maddohatta spat from there with a towed Black Bull statue. What is he going to do with it?
"You will like the sound of this bull."
He said excitedly as he placed it in front of me. He even turned the head of the iron bull to me.
"If there's a hell. See you soon there"
Smiling, the reporter said as Maddohatta effortlessly inserted him inside the bull.
"Hell is my training ground. Just one more favor, send my regards to Death"
He said with a teasing tone.
"Oh, Yoi, you can call this a brazen bull,"
He added once patting the bull. When he closed it he came out again. What will he do now?
A few minutes later he came back with some wood and put it under the bull. He lit it.
"I actually didn't want him to die inside that bull. We'll just heat him up for 20 minutes and then set him free."
He said and grin evilly. After several minutes, the man started to shout in pain and it sounded like a mad and hurt bull. Damn my heart beats so fast. The sound is horrible. I can't take it any longer.
"Do you like it?"
Maddohatta asked me excitedly.
"Y-you're crazy"
I hatefully whispered.
"I'm not. I'm just doing this because it's fun and for you."
The man's cry of pain getting louder inside the iron bull, it surely is painful. My body quivers in fear. Maddohatta left the room for a minute and when he returned he was carrying a container of water. He poured out the fire and it died instantly. He also opened the brazen bull and then the reporter fell from there with his whole body melt, his skin worn off and flesh burn to crisp, but he was still breathing.
"You surely tough as this bull"
Laughing, Maddohatta said once, holding one of the man's legs and he lifted it onto the table. He didn't tie it there because the man didn't have the strength to fight and run away.
"Stop this insanity and kill me now."
The reporter whispered with difficulty and begging for his life to end. I just cried silently and killed myself inside my head. I'm clueless and weak as fuck. How can I breathe when someone is dying because of me?
"Since you're a reporter and you're fucking noisy open your goddamn mouth widely, 'lemme cut your tongue"
I closed my eyes again and covered my ears. I don't want to hear any more screams.
"Yoi, I told you ...."
He said with a warning tone. I beg to look at him.
"Oh, please don't give me that pitiful look it doesn't work on me."
He added so I did nothing but look at everything he would do. He forcibly opened the reporter's mouth and pulled its tongue out, and immediately cut it off. You can hardly hear the reporter shout because it is fading into the thin air.
"Damn. This is boring"
He suddenly cut off his sex organ and I think that was the last cry of the reporter of the day.
"He gives up already? Tch, why am I so bad at this recently?"
Disappointed he whispered to himself then approached me.
"You can go home now"
He said, he even messed up my hair and I lost consciousness.
I arrived late for school. And I'm thankful because there's no one in the hallway it means that I won't hear any bad words in the meantime. I still can't forget what happened last night and that's also the reason why I stay up late. I can't sleep and maybe I can't sleep anymore. Damn, I'm going crazy.
"Why are you late, Ms. Akuma?"
Even before I entered, I heard Ma'am Chen's voice in the classroom. I was suddenly petrified at my feet.
"Come here."
She gave a strong command so I approached her in the front. I even heard the faint unkind laughter of my classmates as I walk inside.
"Why are you late? It's the first time, I guess"
Ma'am asked coldly. I bowed as I did not know what to answer.
"Bet me, she's playing with her Serial killer lover."
Meinu replied jeeringly and the whole class laughed again except for Hebi and the two transferees. I felt cold at what she said. I swallowed hard and keep my eyes staring at the floor. Damn it all.
"Is that true?"
Ma'am Chen asked with a hint of a chuckle. I looked at Hebi who was worriedly looking at me as well. I don't know what to answer. I feel like crying again.
"Is that true?"
Ma'am Chen repeated, this time I bent down and covered my face with both hands. I don't want them to see me cry.
"Ohh, she's crying Ma'am."
Why don't you just die Meinu? I tearfully questioned myself.
"Be careful what you wish for, you might get it."
I looked up to find that person. It was Kein. He was standing and smiling, looking at me intently. He seems familiar.
"Sit down."
He added while pointing at my chair next to Hebi's. Ma'am Chen slapped her table and she stood up and pointing at Kein furiously.
"Who do you think you are?"
Maam Chen asked insultingly to Kein who just smiled at her.
"Death."
He answered in a serious tone without removing the smirk from his lips. He's weird and crazy.
"If I were you, you better put your index finger down before it's too late."
Kein added that Maam Chen was pale. His presence is getting colder and colder. I shook my head slowly. He's just too perfect and handsome to be that killer. He can't be Maddohatta. But why I am feeling that he is him?
"O-okay you can sit down now."
Stuttering, Ma'am said at once and calm herself down a bit.
"Class dismissed."
What happens? I hurried to sit down next to Hebi. This is weird.
"Are you doubting me?"
I was surprised that Kein's face was so close to mine. How did he get here? He's just on the other side? How? I backed away with my chair in panic. Damn his closeness.
"I-I don't understand you."
I respond confusingly, avoiding looking at him at any cost. He laughed and when I looked at him he was already sitting in his chair. He's damn fast. Who's he?
"Are you okay?"
Hebi asked me worriedly. I nodded and smiled at her.
"Good. Did you sleep well last night?"
She asked again. I hugged her tightly.
"Thanks for worrying about me."
I tearfully whispered to Hebi as I hugged and sob in her chest.
"What a trashy scene."
I was so relieved when I hugged Hebi when Meinu spoke in front of us. She crossed her arms on her chest and raised her left eyebrow while wearing her arrogant smirk.
"What do you want this time?"
Hebi asked her irritably. Meinu brought her face close to Hebi's and gave her a dagger look.
"You. Get. Lost"
She replied emphatically once away from her face and she turned her burning gaze to me.
"And as for you. Die."
Meinu said and left the room at once. Hebi and I just sighed. We can't do anything about her attitude anyway. Besides, I like Meinu even though she's too bitchy and at least she's not made of plastic. It's a good side that I can think of as for now.
...GOING HOME...
Hebi went home even though we hadn't finished our last subject because it was an emergency. I will go home alone again. And to make matters worse, the reporters were outside waiting for me. What a pain. I hid in the parking lot first and prayed that no one would see me here. I was in the darkest and farthest part of the parking lot. Only one car was parked there. I hid behind it. I sat on my two knees and stared blankly at the floor. I'm just wondering if I can just hang myself? To end it all? No one will cry except Hebi? Maybe. Unbeknownst to me, tears were flowing from my eyes again. I just let it go. I must have been in that position for an hour but I had no desire to move, and I lay weakly on the cold cement until I lost consciousness.
'You can't forget the past. And I can't erase your pain today. Do I still have the right to stay with you, honey?'
