"it was a success."
Seiko said as she kept walking,
"Really?I...- I th-think...cough!" Yoshiko tried making words, but the wound in her stomach was making her be unable to even move, far from being consious.
Aiko carried Yoshiko,
"What was the success here? Why did you call us at all fo a sudden?" He asked.
Lisa listened to them with great curiosity, a little jealous that Yoshiko got to be carried by Aiko.
Yoshiko was bleeding alot, her blood covered Aiko's back, even though she was already banaged at this point.
"Let's leave." Lisa said, urging them to get to a hospital as quickly as possible.
"Go ahead, we will come later." Seiko commanded,
"Very well."
And so, Yoshiko and Lisa went ahead.
Meanwhile, Aiko and Seiko stayed behind, Aiko walked over to Seiko asking her
"Hey, what's up?" Seiko intitated a conversation.
"It went quite successful, if you're having a smile..." Aiko said,
"Why did you help you visit us in the first place though?" Seiko asked, as she still has her doubts.
"Well, if you reveal one secret of yours, I shall do mine." Aiko said,
Why not? Seiko thought.
"Okay, you go first then..." She said,
Aiko then explained.
"I was here for money, simply."
"What? Somebody paid you to visit me and plot against Aimi? Even though she ..." Seiko emphasized on the recent incident that took place with them in that hospital.
"...because she helped me capture somebody like Ayumi?" Aiko said in a guilty voice.
"Yes, ofcourse. that." Seiko said, coughing a little.
Damn. Why does she defend Aimi so much? Aiko had his suspects now.
"Well... There's a girl from a rich family, she told us. And I don't have alot of money with me, so there's that..." Aiko explained.
To which, Seiko said.
"I understand, if you ever need any sort of money. Do contact me, I'm willing to help."
"Ahah..." Aiko laughed,
"Why would I? Don't you need to help your sister Yoshiko?"
"Ah, she will definitely make it out alive..." Seiko giggled.
The conversation went silent for a bit.
Until, Aiko asked something
"Just what did you tell Ryou? Why did we have to leave so suddenly? This is all so sudden...and confusing." He said, sighing as if he did not get what he wanted.
To which, Seiko replied in a planned way, almost as if she knew this would happen
"Oh, it's something that I told him... For his own benifit." Seiko said
"Ofcourse, as expected. But what did you really tell him?" Aiko asked,
"Oh... That?"
"Yeah, that." Aiko said.
Seiko wasn't sure if she should be telling this to Aiko,
Nevertheless, her plan had already succeed. And so, she did not need to fear from Aiko anymore,
With this thought in her mind, she decided to ask something from Aiko.
"Tell me something, what do you know about me so far?" She asked,
"That.. you're the friend of Aimi, or like an ex-friend... Or like a rival, and that, you guys had a tough past basically. Isn't it?" He said.
I don't get it, why does she ask that? Aiko thought.
Seiko smiled to the following statement,
For she knew, Aiko infact, hasn't suspected it yet.
Why would he?
For somebody who massacred Seiko's entire family, just how could she possible like her daughter?
"You know, Aimi's mother is the one who murders my family. Right?"
"Wait...really?"
I forgot I only told this to Ryou. Seiko realised.
"So, being her enemy is quite the common trope, right?" Aiko said, with a relaxed voice.
.
.
.
All went smoothly planned.
Or was it?
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Let me reveal one truth."
Seiko said, taking a sip of breath as she prepared herself to say the biggest confession she stored in her heart, she said
"I love Aimi."
.
.
.
Sfx: laughter
"Haha... What?" Aiko thought it was sarcasm,
"And so, I told Ryou to save away from Aimi."
Aiko, was in utter disbelief.
To this point, he believed Seiko was with them and their side, defending Ryou and doing everything for the downfall of Aimi.
But now, he realised something,
Seiko was Aimi's ally all along.
But the fact is, Seiko could not contact Aimi because of their past, and so she used Aiko and Lisa as a medium to contact Ryou,
Just so she can get a hold of Aimi.
And this, was Seiko's plan all along.
But she presented it in a way that Aiko could never, never harm Seiko,
Because if he did, he would be seen a betrayer in his own sister's eyes.
Only he is the one to realise this, so far.
In the moment of realisation of this fact, the only words that could be uttered by Aiko were...
.
.
.
.
.
"You betrayer..."
.
.
.

Chapter 75: Hatred
B-but... How could I?
HOW COULD I LOSE HIM?!
.
.
.
.
.
The wind blowed and flowed quite breezy, it wasn't dry though, the trees were lush green yet the ground consisted of dry leaves.
The sky wasn't clear, it consisted of gray clouds and chancss of mist and rain were everywhere.
A small tick could cause a huge fire in the forest yet everything seemed so calm, even though it was all supposed to be so intense.
It was as if... As if...
A small trigger is needed,
To begin the end of all.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
As he raised his hand, for the very first time in somebody who loved him so much,
He wondered. Is it even love?
SLAP!
"hyaa..." Her cheeks swayed in the direction of the motion of his slap,
His eyes red but not teary.
It wasn't rage, not hatred either.
For this entire time, everybody saw Ryou as weak.
And why wouldn't they?
He went through the abduction, then to the Jail, getting rescued by Aimi only to be staying at her special place. And then, even after promising Aimi and hoping for a peaceful life,
Was this a truth he had to know?
Aimi had a such dark past, and he had no clue of it?
There was somebody loved Aimi more than he could ever do. Is what he thought,
And so, he gave it up at all.
He could not tolerate it.
The slap , was his only way to reject Aimi.
After all, even if Aimi leaves Ryou right now, Seiko woul take care of her right?
Ryou shouldn't be worried. Is what he thought.
.
.
.
.
.
"Why..." Aimi's frail voice came to existence.
She realised what she saw just now,
Upon hearing the name of Seiko, she had a thought in the back of her mind.
Did Seiko tell Ryou, about that? Aimi thought.
The thought alone terrified Aimi, and now, this?
Has she lost him?
This slap, just confirmed everything.
.
.
.
"IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" Ryou shouted,
His voice was quite bold and loud. Aimi forgot Ryou could have such strong resistance.
He is a man, after all.
"I-... I LIVED A PEACEFUL LIFE! STAYING WITH YOU RUINS IT ALL! EVERYTHING IS RUINED!" His voice grew louder and louder with each syllable.
Aimi stood up, trembling-..
"B-but I... I j-just w-...wan...wanted to be-"
Push!
WHAM!
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
"bu...but Ry-Ryou!" Aimi was terrified, tears came rolling out of her eyes.
She stood up with all the strength she could gather, she tried touching to his cheek.
Her hands were still delicate, as her face still had the beauty. The only difference was, each part of her body showed frustration,
Seperation from Ryou seemed more of a burden.
"DON'T TRY TOUCHING ME!" Ryou resisted Aimi's touches
"But..." Aimi's voice still had alot of struggle,
Aimi tried winning Ryou with her words. As his had done it always,
But it seemed like everything was coming to an end after all.
Ryou clenched his fists as he showed his anger, he said with pure hatred in his voice,
"Everything... Everyday outside of Japan I lived such a nice, ordinary life. I forgot I was given the burden of housing an witch who only wished the worst of me! Why! WHY DID MY FATHER HAD TO DIE?" Ryou shouted,
Aimi's voice heard Ryou's words. She heard how he called her a witch.
"WHY DID HE DIE WHEN YOU TURN EXACTLY EIGHTEEN? Tell me, did you kill my father so that I can inherit everything and come back to Japan and to this shitty household again?" Ryou asked, anger in his voice grew only even more and further,
"..."
Aimi could not reply anything, she did not have enough words in her mind currently.
After all, she fought with Yoshiko, a well trained police officer. Before which she ran and rode a bicycle, adding the stress of losing Ryou only made her weaker both mentally, and physically.
.
.
.
Taking a break, Ryou asked another question at Aimi,
"Why....why did you steal everything away from me...?"
Aimi's body twitched, it was as if they needed to respond to whatever Ryou said.
She felt the adrenaline in her body rushing out as if, if she didn't answer,
She would lose her only love of the life forever.
And so the answer was clear,
"So I could gain you!" She said,
"BUT WHY DID YOU KILL EVERYBODY I KNEW?"
"The-they....they were never good enough for you! You...y-y...you on-only... YOU ONLY NEED ME!"
"NO I DONT!" Ryou shouted back!
"I DONT NEED YOU! The only thing you ever did... Was to ATTACK MY BODY, AND ME EVERYTIME YOU GOT THE CHANCE!" Ryou emphasised,
"It's not love... You can never be like Miko! The only thing you ever have for me... IS LUST!"
"....w....what?" Aimi's eyes widened.
Everything she had for Ryou all this time,
"Toys don't talk~"
"Ry-RYO...RYOU!"
Everything...
"Was...lust?"
"...yes!" Ryou replied, hoping she understood.
.
.
.
After a short brief of a moment of silence, Aimi answered back,
"I know your height... Weight, size of every part of your body... What you like, what you dislike... What's your taste on women, how to make you orgasm within seconds... How pamper you, how to comfort a man like you... What you need, what you do not need. Your friends, family, preferences, everything... I know everything about you, and yet you... you call it lust?"
Aimi emphasized on how she knew everything about Ryou, to this point,
Even Ryou could confirm this indeed.
"This is your obsession! Nothing more!"
He said, with pain and anger longed in his voice.
Disappointed Ryou sat on a chair, as he put up his hand against his forehead and said
"My company... My money...the mansion, or me... Just whom are you after? What do you want?" He asked Aimi,
With each offensive question, Aimi's urge to answer only grew further.
But the loss of energy let her be down and speechless, even so with the little energy she had, she said
"I want you ..y-you..."
Ryou twitched upon hearing the reply. Was Aimi that much going to be hard, will she keep clinging onto him? Thoughts filled his mind,
But
I will accept Aimi no matter how she is!
What Seiko said that time, could she be better at handling Aimi than Ryou ever would be?
.
.
.
"Forget I exist, from now on. YOU DONT KNOW ANY RYOU AIKAWA IN THIS WORLD!" Ryou said,
Each word of his felt like a sharp arrow to Aimi.
The little energy in her body grew further to a later mass as she got furious with each set of words striking at her soul.
She couldn't resist it, even though it wasn't the tie time.
Not even Ryou could attack Aimi when it came to defending her only love,
Ryou.
"You were my only love... My first love!" She said,
"AND HOW DOES IT MATTER?" Ryou said angrily,
To which, Aimi finally stood up.
"It do-doesnt..." She said,
A sudden change in her reaction,
Ryou couldn't expect it.
What was going on?
Did he finally succeed?
He couldn't be happier, he confirmed it once more,
"So you're going to her...huh?"
"I would, to end everything." She said,
Huh? Ryou didn't quite understand.
Even still, his minds had numerous thoughts,
.
.
.
.
[Ryou's Perspective]
This is it.
The real issue of Aimi was the fact,
That I exist.
If seperate myself from Aimi, she will learn to live without me.
Sigh... This should have been done earlier!
If only my dad never really adopted Aimi,
She wouldn't have killed my father then.
And if she hadn't killed my Father, I would never have to return to Japan.
Even if I did, I wouldn't face this monster of a woman!
And so, with the relief that I had,
The fact that its all over,
Could never let me down.
It's time for Aimi and me to lead happy lives, for Aimi this could have been a very distant rock bottom. I have been here many times in my life.
Though it's true that Aimi saved me many times, but everything she did...
Was for her own selfish purpose.
And now, it's time for her to actually live a life that she wants.
Not a life where she has to be obsessing over somebody,
Because I, Ryou, am the true problem here!
And so, in order to fix this,
I chose to make Aimi hate me
What Seiko told that day was really true, if I never had fixed my thoughts and begin thinking from my own motivations and Perspective, I wouldn't have came to this conclusion by now.
This... This is a good decision right?
.
.
.
.
..
.
.
.
.
Three proofs and a trigger.
That's all Aimi really needed to act without a control over her thoughts
It could be manipulated or be a straight truth,
But when faced with an Aimi in anger,
Is pure danger.
Unlike some people who bluntly do anything they want during their anger session, like rage, or to use violent words,
Aimi instead, chooses to strategize even more schemingally. Which is quite the problem,
You see,
Ryou Aikawa, the only love of Aimi,
Just gave Aimi Inoue,
The biggest trigger of her life.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"You're life is a waste of spent on me, hence live a fulfilling life with Seiko in the future... I truly despised you, Aimi." He said, standing up.
"Very well" she replied, opening the door as she stood up herself
Ryou quite still didn't understand, how was Aimi so cooperative?
Was the rejection of Ryou all she needed to not keep going?
Was everything really hitting the water abiev her nose for her?
These thoughts filled Ryou's heads,
Only to be filled with another one thought, but in Aimi's head—
So basically, Ryou hates me. Isn't it? In that case, I'll just do the exact opposite of what I did on his first day of this mansion. Aimi thought to herself.
Blood rushed through Aimi's veins, her head seemed as if it was about to explode from such tension in her brain.
Her heart felt heavy as she grabbed her hair and forehead,
Looking for the last time at Ryou, she said
"And so... I will just kill you instead!"
"Huh...?" Ryou looked confused- and SUDDENLY-
STAB!
"Eh...has" Ryou stood there, speechless,
As Aimi puffed on her breath,
"Haaah...haaah..."
"I-....loved you..." He said,
Thump!
He fell to the ground.
His eyes closed, slowly, and steadily.

[Ryou's Perspective]
My eyes...
It feels so cold,
Is this what death feels like
It feels so odd yet familiar,
There's no light in the end of a tunnel,
Where was I stabbed?
How did I fell unconscious so quickly...?
Shouldn't I be atleast bleeding to...death?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What is the bargain to life? Aimi once asked,
.
.
.
.
.
I think....
I think it's...
.
.
.
.
It's definitely to do anything to ....sur-survive...
.
.
.
.
.
Beep...beep...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It was morning. The birds chirped loudly and calmly, it was a very normal and mundane morning.
Beep beep
The bed feels very comfortable, it's soft...
"The thirteenth day... Isn't it?" I heard a soft yet lovely voice in the background,
Oh my god, is it Miko?
Weren't we about to get married?
Happy days... I wonder how my father is doing.
Wait, he is no longer with us right
I am glad that stupid maid...
She left us....
I hope...
"Here..." The voice came,
I couldn't open my eyes much clearly,
But from what I saw, it was a lady who adjusted her clothes to-...
To pull out her chest?!
She adjusted her chest onto my hands...
Twitch...!
"You react well with my body, fufu~"
Who is this?
....
Time passed. It was above fifteen minutes or so when she said,
"I'd love to this every second with you. But it's time to wake you up, mhm?" Her voice quite matured,
.
.
.
.
And suddenly, a loud voice came. As if an alarm clock,
The same old plain comforting yet annoying, but familiar...
"Wakey wakey master~"
My eyes opened and-
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It's Aimi.
"UWAAA-" I shout,
How the hell did I teleport here?!
What the hell is going on man?!
"Oh my~ geez why are you so surprised?"
"Why are we so normal?!" I asked!
How couldnt I? Was what I saw a crazy dream?!
Let me check my stomach-
I raised my hand to slip it inside my shirt and-
"Oh my~ let me release your pent up stress for you, isn't it?" Aimi said seductively, her hands reaching the bottom of my waist line,
Nono, this isn't what I meant!
"No- I.."
"You want exactly that, pervert~" Aimi said playfully,
Her hands reached the end of my pants, slowly uncovering my bottom secrets as she..
Reached my erect thing.
"Haah..." She began Stroking it, with a rough pace as she reached her delicate fingers to my lips, spreading them she said
"Stick out your tongue for me...~"
Obejng her, I had no choice.
"Haaa..." I stuck out my tongue,
"Chuu~ haughhh~"
She engulfed my tongue with her warm yet saliva-filled mouth and she rolled her tongue into a dance with mine.
My legs trembled, as she stroked my thing whilst she kissed me, my hands exploring her soft chest...
Slowly, her pace got even faster and I...
"Aimi... I might..."
"Do it at my hands!"
And then-
Splurt....
...
We cleaned it up a few minutes later.
"Hey~ you shouldn't stand up just yet~" she said, reacting to my stand.
I stood up, realising,
I'm somehow back in Tokyo?
Was this truly a dream?
Well, there is only one way to find out...
.
.
.
.
.
I went up to the gate,
"Oh it's my room." I see, I am quite familiar with it.
Only one problem,
Shake shake shake!
"It won't open...damn...!"
There is... A huge lock on the door?
Not only that, it's surrounded by chains...?
Worrying about the lock,
I asked Aimi, my trustworthy maid- no, girlfriend? I don't know,
"Hey... Can you open this thing for me?"
.
.
.
.
Shock.
Her eyes widened in concern as...
.
.
.
.
.
A huge smile covered her face?
Wait. What is going on?
"Who gave you permission to stand...?" She said, as she took out...
A leash from her waist?!
Realising now,
Her hands also consisted of...
A very sharp knife.
Wait. What the hell is going?
"Aimi... I really wish to go outside right now..."
She said,
"Who said you can leave?"
WHAT
