"Wanna help a poor girl out ?"

I grabbed a passerby's shoulder and stuck my blade under his chin.

"Tell me where the nearest prison is."

The boy took a shaky breath and stuttered, "J-Just turn right o-over there-" he pointed to a dark alley.

"Aw, thanks !" I released my grip and smirked.

He started walking but I pulled him back by his collar.

"Tsk tsk not so fast. Now, i'm sorry to do this, but I don't like to leave any witnesses behind."

I slitted his throat and he fell to the floor, blood splattering over me.

"Blood…disgustin'" I murmured and poured a large amount of hand sanitiser over my hands.

"Police officers.." I breathed as I walked into the dark alley.

"Must be pretty close then."

"Um…is that who I think it is ?" I heard a police officer whispering behind my back to his partner.

She nodded in confirmation.

They walked towards me cautiously, their hands on their guns.

"Baka." I giggled to myself.

They don't know who they're dealin' with, don't they ?

I held my blade close to my body.

Kore wa kantan'na hazu.

"Miss ?" a police officer approached me slowly.

"Can we help you ?"

I rolled my eyes, my back facing them, "No. Why ?"

"Because you've been wandering around for a while. We just want to make sure we don't have any problems."

I stayed silent, playing with the tip of the deadly weapon.

"Miss. Do you mind if you turn around for us ? It um… It bothers me when I'm talking to someone not facing me."

"Of course. Sure thing."

I slipped my blade into the back pocket of my trousers and turned around, whipping my gun out in process.

Two shots rang clearly through the cold air of December.

I stared at the lifeless bodies and let out a low chuckle.

"Magnus, go !" I shouted.

"Don't worry about me. Go !"

Magnus looked at me, lingering.

"Go !" I commanded, my eyes filled with anger.

He nodded and disappeared in the night.

"Koroshi, you are under arrest." a police officer slapped a pair of handcuffs on my wrists.

I looked at her with fear in my eyes.

"Something wrong ?" she questioned.

"H…help.." I breathed out.

"S-she…she's-"

"Who ?" she glared at me.

"Don't play games with me."

"V-Voice is coming…" I stammered.

"There is no times for games, Koros-"

I felt a surge of energy flow through me, and at the same time, my eyes turned silver.

"What the fuck ?" the police officer pointed her gun at me.

"Stay still !"

[Voice]

"Miss me, koroshi ?"

I laughed and snapped my fingers, a flash of lighting rippling through the sky.

"Ah, it's been a long time."

I cracked my knuckles.

"Koroshi's been keepin' me inside for too lo-"

The police officer kicked me, causing me to kneel on the ground.

"Don't move. I'm taking you to prison." she wrapped a metal chain around my waist and tugged me towards the police car.

"Oh come on, officer ! You think arrestin' me will solve anythin' ?"

"You want another bullet in your bullet, psycho ? Shut the hell up."

One week later…

"Stop laughing, inmate. This is serious."

"Ooh, there's a camera. Nice room." I tiptoed and glanced around.

"You guys going to film a movie ? Is it only for adults, though ? If ya know what I mean." I flashed the prison guard a wink and bit my lips.

He rolled his eyes and looked elsewhere.

"Ignoring me, huh ? I just wanted to talk, y'know ?" I pouted.

"Really breaking my heart here."

"Look here, inmate." he huffed.

"Can I hear a "please", officer ?"

"Look. Here."

"Oh fuck. You're no fun." I giggled.

"I have to ask one thing before you take my picture. It's very, very important." I clutched my chest, pretending to be sad.

"…What ?"

"Can I have a sushi ? I'm starving" I laughed.

"How is that important ?" the guard yelled.

"Of course it is important ! I'm gonna starve to death !"

"LOOK HERE, FOR FUCK'S SAKE !"

"Geez, chill your ass. I guess I'll starve to death then."

"Look at the camera, one, two-"

"Wait let me get on my good side." I turned my face slightly to the left.

"I love it when there's paparazzi. Cheese !"
