I was just casually playing a game on my PS vita when I suddenly heard a huffy voice beside me.
"Ugh..Where the..fuck am I?"
"Oh wow! You're finally awake, Darren!"
I could not contain my excitement anymore and voiced it out.
I then hugged Darren from his bed
"Argh! Joseph you fucking fag! I'm fucking injured! And you're fucking hurting me!"
"Oh! Bloody hell, sorry about that. I'm just so happy to see you alive. And that I don't have to wipe your ass again."
"Wipe my ass? What in the absolute fuck are you-..Am I wearing a diaper?!"
"Yep. You have a cute buttcheek by the way. The 2 dots of birthmarks on your left cheek makes your butt look like a smiling emoji."
"Stop talking about my fucken' ass! And start explaining what the hell is happening already!"
I still have more to share with him, like how he farts every 2 hours when he was asleep, but I think it will have to wait for another time.
So after heaving a long sigh I started narrating everything that happened that night at the Kazama vacation house.
I told him that Ocho was the only one standing after their fight and how he almost killed Kyle and Levi.
I told him about the eminent death we felt when Ocho proposed a deal with us.
It was a feeling I can never forget. It even haunted me last night.
"After Ocho sliced Levi's hair with a knife, he suddenly disappeared after leaving one last message."
Darren looked at me with curiosity and asked
"What message?"
"He said that we should all meet again together to discuss the deal he was talking about."
After Ocho left us that night, we all took everyone to Minji's private medical facility that belongs to her family, where everyone got personally treated using the finest medical equipments and utilities.
"....So that bastards Kyle and Levi are still alive...where are they right now?"
Darren asked with a murderous glint.
"Levi is probably back home already with Riza. And I heard Kyle had woken up last night too, so I'm sure that he's with Minji and Ichika right now, discussing the situation."
"Situation?!"
Darren promptly grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me closer.
"Kyle fucking killed Jackson. And that little fucker, Levi, almost killed me. Do you know how much I want to burn them alive right now?....well do you?!"
Some bits of Darren's saliva splashed at me as he screamed near my face.
I felt uncomfortable with his invasion of my personal space so I pressed a certain spot in his shoulder to calm him down.
"Argh! Shit! that hurts!"
"Stop talking for a minute and think of your situation for a second. You were the first one who lost his consciousness back then, and the last one to regain it back. You are also the one who sustained the most damage. Levi is now miraculously back to his normal state, and Kyle is already sitting pretty out there."
Darren could not utter a word and could only listen to me.
I then continued.
"Now ask yourself. How could you be alive today?"
We both went silent after I said that and Darren finally calmed down.
After a minite of awkward silence Darren looked back at me and asked.
"And what about Ocho? Where is he?"
"He obviously did not went to school earlier so we haven't seen him yet, but he did left a message in the GC earlier, said he'll be meeting with us all later....And that if anyone showed even a hint of hostility, he would not hesitate to kill everyone. So keep that in mind as you think of ways on how to bash Levi and Kyle's face later."
----------------
"Fancy meeting you her, Ocho."
Kyle gretted me with a smile on his face as I entered the private room found inside the Medical facility that Minji's family owned.
Along with Kyle, there were also Ichika, Levi, Riza, and Minji.
I ignored Kyle and instead announved
"Joseph and Darren would be here shortly. So lets just wait for them for the time being."
After exactly an awful 2 minutes of awkward silence. The door finally opened again.
"Hey there everyone! Sorry we're late. I drank so much gin earlier and had to stop to take a piss along the - holy shit Ocho's already here."
Joseph's cheerful tone promptly turned a hundred and eighty degrees when he realized I was already sitting inside the room.
He then proceeded to quietly take a seat, while Darren chose to stand and stayed near the doors.
"Now that everyone's here already....Let's start with the reasons why we were targetting each others back..."
I paused for a good minute to take out something and held it on on my hand.
"But before I go on and ramble about why everyone's still alive today. Let me first remind all of you that we agreed not to show hostility at each other as we discuss tonight."
I paused again to look at Darren before continuing.
"I know you want to smash those two's head right now. But you should also know by now how powerless you are. So calm down for a second before I blow your damn head off."
I said in a calm voice as I held a transparent gun in my hand.
