Kibe and Ichii would be sitting across from one another under the stairs. Kibe sitting across from Ichii would remain silent while she also said nothing. Her hands fidgety and eyes darting around. Kibe could tell from her distress that she had weighted guilts on her shoulders. She stared at Kibe for a moment before looking away.
"Hita means to continue abusing you, how long will you let it go on? Until he decides he can get away with anything?" Kibe asked, yet Ichii didn't answer, her head buried in her legs and arms.
"...What am I supposed to do...." she mumbled
"Fight back. Or will you wait till he has his way with you?" Kibe asked which got her attention. Her eyes almost seemed hopeful.
"You...You honestly think he'd consider me pre-"
"No. You've mistaken my words. Rape, even for someone like you wouldn't be a sign of your beauty. It'd only mean he finds you so heinous that he believes, that if he were to do that act, no one would believe you." Kibe said, Ichii held her arm as tears rushed down her face. Kibe just watched her.
"Your disfigurements are a curse, you see yourself heinous and revolting. Nothing you say or do will change that. Guaranteed." Kibe said, she looked up at him.
"D-...Do you think I'm pretty?" She asked
"No." Kibe said, his answer was quick and cold as usual. Her eyes got small as she placed her hands on her head.
"WHATS WRONG WITH ME!? CAN NOTHING MAKE ME FEEL BEAUTIFUL!? I JUST WANT TO BE AS PRETTY AS THE OTHER GIRLS!!!
....The doctor said...that if I listened to him...he'd make me normal." Ichii mumbled as snot and tears fell down her face.
"Normality is a fiction Ichii, there is no such thing as the ordinary. Only the common and done over." Kibe said
"Then what does that make me!? If I'm not that! Then what am I!?" Ichii said he hands on her head.
"...Theres no way to fix her, I doubt she may have lived this month if it wasn't for the doctor she spoke of.
If this is truly Alice, then Brandon was right. She is a patient.
However, now, she is mine." Kibe thought as he stood up, he then walked over to her and immediately gripped both sides of her face with his hands.
"Do you desire beauty that badly?" Kibe asked
"What are you-"
"Answer me. How badly do you want to be beautiful?" Kibe asked
"...Anything...I'd kill for it." She answered, her eyes focused on Kibe's green eyes. They were like search lights. Like as if they were looking through her own mind and for something hidden away.
"What if I told you, I could make you beautiful? More better than any doctor could do or even surgery can do for you. What if I could make you see just how beautiful you really are?" Kibe asked
"But how? What would I have to do?" Ichii asked, her eyes were trembling with fear and shock.
"Listen to my voice, and I can heal you. I can fix you, but only if you'll let me...Alice." Kibe said, Ichii was taken aback by that name, but then she reflected on everything else. Her other options, what Kibe had said so far and more. Thats when her eyes saw it. A mountain of endless suffering, endless pain and endless misery awaiting her. Kibe had made her future without him seem meaningless and bleak. Her eyes quivered and shuttered at the very idea of such desolate and horrifying future.
"...I...I....am ready." She said
"Good then. Now listen closely to me." Kibe said as he began to speak to her. Thats when Hita and some of his friends started walking down the hall.
"Hey, she did come this way right? I got class in a bit and I'm not looking to fail." Said one of the boys.
"That crybaby came over here I know it. I'd say follow the blood, but I guess that little skank must have covered her sleeves." Hita said, thats when one of the boys, a boy by the name of Ita stopped.
"W-What?" Ita said, Hita turned around
"Yea, didn't you know? She likes to cut herself. My girlfriend saw her doing it in the girl's bathroom. How pathetic right? And all because she's so ugly hehe." Hita chuckled, some of his friends got a bit concerned with his behavior. Hita looked around at them, he looked a little worried they weren't laughing with him.
"Well? Its funny right?!" Hita said to them, but they didn't answer.
"You said girlfriend right?" Ita asked
"Yea? And?" Hita groaned
"You don't have a girlfriend, I've known you since freshmen year. You aren't in any relationship." Ita said, the other boys looked at him.
"...What? You think I would really do that?! Come on, I wouldn't-"
"Then how do you know!" Ita asked, Hita didn't alhave anything to say, but instead just gave a nervous chuckle and walked over to Ita grabbing his collar.
"HEY! Just what are you trying to play at? You think you're somehow better than me huh? Think your popular and cool!? Well guess what! I don't need any of that from you! I don't need you Ita! I don't need any of you clowns." Hita said as he shoved Ita away with the other boys catching him.
"Hey! What the hell!" Said one of them
"You got problems man!" Said another boy.
"Leave him, he isn't worth our time anymore. Anyone who picks on the mentally deserves nothing; but hell time." Ita said as he got up.
"Then go." Hita said, thats when Ita and the other boys looked behind Hita with shock, Hita noticed and turned around to see nonother than Ichii standing in the hallway.
"Well, look who it. If it isn't the cow!" Hita shouted, thats when the school bell would ring signaling for the next class. Hita took a notice of the students coming out of class, Ita too. Some students looked and even stopped to see what was happening. As the crowd around them got bigger, Kibe would then exit the underway of the stairs and then make his exit. He held his hand right on his shoulder as blood dripped from it.
"Thank you. For helping me get just that much closer to my goal." Kibe said, thats when he'd then fake his collapse on the stairs. A girl would notice and run over to him.
"Are you ok?" She asked before turning him over to see the blood. The girl let out a blood-curtaling scream. Hita and everyone in the hall was hit with immediate shock and suprise.
"You called me a cow." Ichii said
"Huh?" Hita said as he looked over to Ichii, but in that mere few seconds she had already crossed the distance and with her razor blade. Had slit his throat. Everyone was frozen, it was like as if the world was standing still.
"I- ugh Guk!" Hita began to choke on his own blood, but not before Ichii would then stab him multiple times in the throat, slicing and cutting it wide open. By the end it looked like as if his throat was a tattered doorway. His esophagus and other vitals plain and visible. The blood gushing out and getting all over Ichii's face.
Everyone was shock and filled with fear, Ita's eyes were wide open as he had just watched his old friend; get completely violated right in front of him. Everyone had no idea how to react for this few moments. Jun rounded the corner from Gym and saw everyone gathered around.
Thats when Hita's body would drop, the blood getting on the people behind him, spraying on Ita and few of the boys. In that very moment chaos and panic erupted in the hallway, people running and toppling over each other as screams ran out. Jun looked in shock at was happening. She then turned the corner she had come and gave her father a call.
At the police station Mr.Nakayama and Brandon were going over the death that had happened last night.
"So you were right. It is the doctor. He targeted the man you posed as and killed him." Mr.Nakayama said
"Yes, so now we have one of them. All we need is the second one. All we need is find out who Alice is.
However I do have a mental image and bio of her in my head." Brandon said as he ate his peach. Mr.Nakayama looked through the evidence they had before he got a phone call. He pulled out his phone and saw it was Jun.
"Hold that thought." Mr.Nakayama said as he answered the phone. Brandon kept going through the evidence.
His brain wracking on who Alice could infact be. Thats when he laid it out in his mind.
"Alice believes she's disfigured. That she can't be beautiful, so she is following the instructions of a man she trust to get her to her goal. Which in this case is killing people.
BDD is more likely to come up in women, seeing how they are the ones that beauty is often placed on the most. Making expectations of attractiveness and desirability; that much higher. I'd say that women may infact make up around 40 - 60%.
But where does that lead me? There are hundreds to thousands of women in Ginza and this city. Theres no way I could track her down if she was older.
Which means....WAIT! Hormones! All teenagers and young adults! They'll be discovering themselves, their attitudes will change and behavior will fluctuate! Meaning...HOLY SHIT THATS IT!
ALICE IS A SCHOOL GIRL!" Brandon thought as he then jumped in his chair the same time Mr.Nakayama nearly fell back in his.
"NO WAY!" they both shouted. Both of them looked at each other.
"You first!" Brandon said as he finished his peach.
"I just got a phone call from my daughter, she just told me that a young girl just killed someone in front several dozen students and is going on a rampage!" Mr.Nakyama said as he put on his coat.
"Huh what coincidence, cause I just cracked that Alice is a school girl." Brandon said
"What?" Mr.Nakayama asked
"I'll explain in the car, lets go!" Brandon said as he ran out of the room with Mr.Nakayama. five police cars began speeding down the street and towards Sawa High school.
With Brandon and Mr.Nakayama hoping that this may infact be the break they need to crack this case.
