It has been exactly seven years since my mother died. On the day my mother died a man took me in. He called himself "Mr X" and took me in. He was the leader of a powerful gang and controlled many parts of Japan, China and South Korea. No one seemed to know his real name and no one asked however some people did call him Luo Xiaotong.
The man "trained" me for three years before making me fight in his gang. I had fought and killed many people from multiple different countries.
"Kitamura Yuuta, you can leave and start a new life with a fresh new start."
"Eh?"
"A new start. You can go school get a few girls, start a family."
"Why would I want that, Luo Xiaotong?"
"Don't call me that and I'm giving you your freedom here." Luo Xiaotong said. He was t harsh however when he got angry no one could stop him. He also grew a soft spot for me. "Just go and live your life peacefully, Kitamura Yuuta."
He then threw me a briefcase. The briefcase opened and there were many stacks of ¥10,000.
"There's four more of these and another one which has the necessities."
With that, I was ordered to leave Luo Xiaotong and live on my own.
For three years I was trained to become the perfect killing machine and spy for the government however Luo Xiaotong refused to obey the government and kept me. The government then attacked him and I was ordered to kill them so I did and now I can live in peace.
"You will also attend school." Luo Xiaotong's bodyguard said before leaving me.
I hadn't lived like this in seven years and now I have suddenly regained my freedom.
* * * * * *
I found many students near the entrance of the school. I walked in with the crowd. The blazing sun shone down on me as I walked around the school.
I didn't know what to do as I hadn't been in a school as a student for seven years.
"Huh? Kitamura-kun?" I looked back to find that a group of name students were all standing behind me. "It is you!"
"I haven't seen you since elementary school!" Another student exclaimed however they didn't seem to be talking to me in a friendly manner.
"I haven't seen you since…"
"Since my mother died?" I said, finishing the student's sentence. "You guys never cared then so don't try to act like you care now." I snapped before I walked away from the group.
I was ordered to live my life peacefully and not get into any fights so that's exactly what I shall do.
"Yuuta?"
I looked in front of me. The first person I had ever played with; My first friend, Matsushima Kyoko.
"Kyoko?"
We both stared at each other with an awkward silence between us. I almost didn't realise there was a girl standing next to Kyoko. The girl had long brown hair and wore a black blazer with a white shirt underneath and a red bowtie on her collar. She also wore a black miniskirt and a pair of black calf socks.
I then walked towards her. With each step, Kyoko's pupils grew larger and larger and when I came next to her face her face became a slight shade of red.
"Move."
"Huh?"
"I said move."
Kyoko then moved with a confused expression on her face. I then walked past her without looking back.
I didn't have time for her. Although she was my first friend I didn't have the energy to catch up with her and I didn't feel as if I had to.
* * * * * *
My school life went as normal with no one bothering me. I stayed silent and didn't attract attention and avoided social events every chance I got. All I needed was to get good grades and live my school life peacefully however I should've reminded myself that not everything goes as planned.
It has only been a month since I started school and I have lived my current life peacefully until someone had to ruin it.
I sat on the floor of the rooftop and ate my lunch while reading a book—something I have always done. Suddenly, the rooftop door was flung open. I heard multiple voices and a lot of shouting and laughing.
I stood up and before I had time to pick up my book and plate from the floor someone called my name.
"Kitamura-san?"
I looked back to see a male student that I had never seen before. I never tried to remember the faces of people I didn't care about unless I had them subconsciously drilled into my head.
"Who are you?" I asked softly.
I could instantly tell this student wasn't just going to have a civilised talk with me.
"You hurt my sister!" The man yelled.
Sister? Who the hell are they?
"I don't even know you." I replied.
The man still looked furious. A large group of students then appeared behind him.
"How do you not know who I am?" The man asked. "I am Matsushima Takuya!"
They're not going to be civil with me. Looks like I have to take matters into my own hands.
"I don't care who you are."
"YOU BAST—"
The sound of gunshots silenced him. He looked at where the sound was coming from. His group followed him like dogs as he looked down.
BANG!
I heard another gunshot but now I couldn't see.
What the hell!
I knew I hadn't gone blind because I could still make out Matsushima Takuya's silhouette.
"Kitamura! Where are you!"
What the hell is this idiot on?
I sensed someone behind me however my body didn't obey me and didn't move. I then found myself collapsing to the ground.
Shit.
* * * * * *
I woke up but I couldn't move my arms. It wasn't rope that was holding my hands together rather it was something extremely strong. Even with my superhuman strength, I wasn't able to break free.
I then heard groaning.
I looked up to see that Matsushima Takuya and another student were also with me however they were both still unconscious.
"Yuuta-kun, it's been some time."
I rolled myself onto my back and looked up at the darkness. A pale face emerged from it with a malicious smirk on his face. I couldn't recognise the person from their appearance however their voice sounded familiar.
"How's your chess skills now?"
Huh…Dad…?
The man's smirk grew and his teeth were showing. The man wore a white labcoat and a t-shirt underneath the labcoat. He also wore a pair of brown pants.
"Where's your smile gone, son?"
What the fuck! What the fuck is going on?
"I brought your friend and her brother here as well so you can watch them first."
Friend? Kyoko?
"Let's do the brother first."
The man picked Matsushima up with his head and smiled at his face. He then grabbed a knife from a place I couldn't see and slowly dragged it across Matsushima's face.
"What…Kitamura!"
Matsushima woke up and the first thing he saw was me? Not the man who was now cutting his face?
"Your dad—"
Matsushima stopped as he looked at the man in front of him. He moved around but couldn't because my father's grip was too strong. Matsushima then started to scream.
"HE KILLED YOUR MOM! HE KILLED HER! HE KILLED THEM!"
What the hell is he screaming? I killed her…
"HE WAS IN YOUR HOUSE THAT DAY—"
The man slashed Matsushima's throat and blood dripped from it. The man then tossed him to the side but I didn't hear his body touch the ground. My vision started to adjust to the dark and now I could see it.
The dozens of bodies behind my father and one of them was a person I recognised.
"Mom?"
"Oh, so you found your mom now."
What's she doing here?
I then squinted my eyes and it was the first time I felt fear after my mother's death.
My mother's mangled corpse was laying in front of my eyes. Her eyeballs were hanging out of their sockets and her skull was smashed.
I couldn't describe what I felt or what I saw.
"Yuuta? What's going—"
Kyoko stared at her brother's lifeless body. I could tell she was trying to deny what she was seeing. For the first time in my life, I didn't know what to do. For the first time in my life, I felt powerless; I couldn't just walk out and hope for the best because I couldn't move at all and one of the only people I've ever cared for is now staring at her dead brother feeling helpless because she can't do anything.
My father smiled at the both of us before walking towards Kyoko.
"LEAVE HER! LEAVE HER ALONE!" I yelled but my father didn't even react. He continued with whatever his goal was. "I'LL BITE MY TONGUE OFF IF YOU DON'T STOP!"
"Then do it." My father glared at me with absolutely no remorse in his eyes. "Die then. Go to your mother. You can try to kill her again when you two meet."
Huh? What?
"As usual you can't do anything. You can't protect anyone with all that strength. What the fuck can you do, Yuuta?"
I felt tears run down my face.
"Crying already? You truly are that bitch's son."
What the fuck are you saying?
My father then turned to Kyoko and smiled at her. He then grabbed his knife and cut off the buttons of her shirt until her breasts were visible.
"MOTHERFUCKER!" I yelled as I broke out of the chains and punched my father however he didn't even move an inch.
"You dare hit your father." The man then kicked me in my stomach. My vision went blurry and then there was darkness.
* * * * * *
"KYOKO!"
I sat up on the ground and searched for Kyoko. I soon found her near the other corpses. Her clothes were ripped and her breasts were hanging out.
Shit! Shit! Fuck!
I ran over to where Kyoko was and checked to see if she was alive. Fortunately, she was alive but she only had a few moments left before she died. I need to get her to a hospital but I don't even know where I am.
I then felt something sting my neck.
"Fuck you dad…"
My vision was lost again.
* * * * * *
I sat up on the ground. Nothing was in front of me; Nothing was behind me; Nothing was under me and nothing was on top of me.
Nothing was everywhere.
"KYOKO!" I yelled but there was no response.
I then felt a sharp pain in my head.
Ah, fuck!
Memories overflowed my brain and now all I could see were billions upon billions of memories.
I remember everything now.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared and then disappeared.
Fuck! Not this again!
