Takeo's phone was vibrating in his pocket. He had just dropped of Rei at her house. He wasn't sure if he had done the right thing. Was it too soon to move on? Did he deserve to move on? He couldn't bring himself to accept his own guilt. He felt as if everything was a direct correlation to his own sick, twisted personality.
The phone kept vibrating as he pulled into his apartments small parking space. He pulled his phone out of his pocket. Who was calling? It was from an unknown number.
"I wonder... I haven't given my contact info out have I?", Takeo said staring blankly into his screen.
He pulled off his helmet and clicked accept on the screen.
"H-hello?", Takeo asked.
A deep voice rang out from the other end. No one he could recognize.
"Hello sir.... I see you're living life just fine aren't you?", the voice asked almost laughing.
Takeo gripped his phone tight as sweat began to poor down his cheeks.
"Who is this? How do you have my number?!", Takeo angrily asked.
"Ah you want to know who I am.... hm", The voice pondered about answering.
The voice on the other end began a slow methodical laugh that seemed to go on forever.
"What the hell?! Just tell me who you are!?", Takeo yelled into the phone getting angry and scared.
"No... I dont think I will. Not yet anyways. Goodbye sir! Make sure you take care of that little girlfriend of yours. You never know what could happen!", the voice laughed before disconnecting the call.
Takeo stood there completely dumbfounded. His legs were shaking and his palms were sweaty.
"What the actual hell.... What the actual hell was that!?", Takeo said looking around his surroundings frantically.
He quickly grabbed his bag before rushing into his apartment. He slammed the door and locked his deadbolt. Takeo ran over to his desk and slammed his hands down.
"Someone from my past? No... no way. I'm over with that life. At least I thought so...", Takeo began sweating profusely.
Takeo quickly grabbed his phone and dialed Rei's number. The phone rang for what seemed like forever.
"Come on pick up already!", Takeo panicked.
"Hello? Takeo?", Rei asked as she picked up.
Takeo exhaled as if he had just been given new life.
"Thank god...", Takeo sighed.
"What's the matter Takeo?", Rei asked in a concerned tone.
"I-it's nothing. Just checking something. I'm sorry to disturb you ", Take apologized before hanging up.
Takeo tossed his phone onto his desk before slamming his back against the wall. He slowly slid down until he was completely on the floor and his head was burried in his knees.
The school bell rang and Akane was walking into the classroom. She noticed Takeo wasn't there.
"Huh? Is he sick or something?", Akane asked herself worryingly.
Miss Rei walked into the classroom and up to the podium.
"Alright class settle down. Your normal teacher is out sick today with a cold, so I will be subbing in for him today.", Rei explained.
"Sick huh?", Akane pondered.
Class continued like normal until it was the end of the school day. As Akane was leaving, Rei stopped her.
"Miss Akane? I have a favor to ask of you.", Rei asked.
"O-oh Yes Ma'am?", Akane replied.
Rei handed her a stack of papers and a small note on top.
"Could you deliver these to Mr. Takeo for me? I would do it, but I'm stacked with my own paperwork.", Rei asked her.
"R-right! I can do that!", Akane smiled before bowing and leaving the classroom.
Takeo's house.... she was going to Takeo's house. They were going to be alone together in his house. Akane couldn't help but blush profusely. Her mind racing with all matter of indecent thoughts.
"R-right! I'm coming Takeo!", she exclaimed before running into the direction of Takeo's apartment.
Akane skipped the entire way to Takeo's apartment. Her face permanently stuck with a grin. This was it! Her time to show Takeo that she was grown-up too.
She arrived at his apartment and climbed the stairs to the second floor. As she stood in front of his door she noticed it was unlocked. Curiously, she slowly opened the door. It was completely dark. She couldn't see a thing. She stepped slowly inside.
"H-hello? Teacher? I have some paperwork from school for you.", Akane called out.
There was not response. She continued forward. She noticed she had stepped in something. It was sticky. She lifted her foot to see what she had stepped in, but it was too dark to see.
"What is this stuff? Its so sticky!", Akane grossly exclaimed.
She reached for her phone and turned on her flashlight. She aimed it at the bottom of her shoe and saw a deep crimson red liquid covering her shoe. She turned her flashlight to the floor before almost puking. The entire floor was covered in the same crimson liquid.
"I-is t-this B-b-blood!?!?!", Akane screamed.
She fell to the ground as she heard footsteps slowly appear behind her. She couldn't move. What was she going to do? Her body was frozen in fear. She slowly turned her head and saw a dark silhouette standing over her.
"You weren't supposed to see that Miss Akane...", Takeo said in his dead cold tone.
Akane's body slumped over. She had passed out in fear.
