Chapter 5 - Kagane, dead?

Prey or predator? Which are you, JOHAN GORE?

... Bang!

Nothing happens

Takumi's heart stops, Kagane's opens his eyes and in flash Kagane's swings elbow at him, shattering his nose.

The blow cause Takumi to drop the gun on reflex to tend to his broken nose. He fills his hand he sees the look in kagane's eyes.

And realizes what he's done. He dives for the gun, Kagane catches him in mid air putting his arm around his head and wrestling him to the ground.

Kagane punches his face repeatedly, while he stretches his hand to get the gun. The gun was just in his reach.

The tip of his fingers were touching the barrel, but they slipped off continuously. Takumi fights on, trying to power through the punches.

Takumi finally gets his fingers on the barrel he tries to pull the gun in to get a grip on the handle. But then Kagane pushed him to the side and kicked the gun away

Kagane hits his jaw and his face but the fat Takumi has enough skin to dampen their effect. The class started to get agitated.

With Kagane busy and the gun just in front of the class and out of his reach. It's would be possible for someone in class to dash out and grab the gun and shot kagame

Putting an end to all this, being a hero and getting the chivalry credits from the dynasty, but who could do it?

The thought ran through everyone's mind while the two bloodied students struggled on the floor.

The classmates looked at each other, urging each other on with looks and subtle gestures.

Tobio looks at this, not sure what to do. He doesn't have the heart to kill his best friend yet Miku and everyone else was in danger

The thought weighed on his heart, he can't seem to find the courage to make such a tough decision.

Fritz raised his head to see the scuffle, then paying no mind he looked away, nestled his head in his arms and fell asleep.

Takumi struggled dragging, Kagane on his back a few feet closer to the gun, his blood dripping everywhere around them.

The classroom was filled with terrified murmurings

Tobio couldn't take it anymore, he summons all his willpower and takes the first boldstep out of his seat. Just as he's about charging in, he hears a voice

Don't even think about it!

It was an unfamiliar, stern voice coming from his left, he turned to see who it was but everybody to his left looked too scared to have spoken with that sort of conviction and Fritz was asleep.

But it stops him for a moment, drawing his attention else. The moment he turns to look, a classmate, Todoroki dashes out of the back in full speed past Tobio.

They get to the front. He dived to grab the gun. In a split second their eyes meet. It was Todoroki who had initially started the chant to kill him.

He grabs the gun but it was still unbalanced in his hands as he quickly tries to get to his feet.

Kagane quickly drops Takumi. He swings his hand back and grabs a gun hidden under his shirt.

Todoroki gets on his feet, but his fingers are not in the trigger, he doesn't move. Kagane has the gun pointed at him. Todoroki shakes his head, terrified at what he might do.

Kagane's eyes were stern and focused. Todoroki wouldn't dare make a move. He felt the gun, he slowly moved his finger around trying to find the trigger.

He know he has to keep kagane's attention away from his hands, so he says.

Kagane, no, please no

Bang! A splattering of blood gushed out the back of his head, the whole class screamed in terror.

Don't you dare scream, don't scream! Kagane yelled.

The sound proof can only take so much. He gets on his feet and waves the gun around the class.

They all whimper, trying to hold back their screams and tears. They run towards the corners of the class, crowding and pushing against each other, all in and attempt to avoid getting shot.

The only people still in the middle of the class were Tobio, who was frozen on his feet, still in disbelief at what his friend had done and Fritz who was asleep.

What have you done Kagane, Tobio says to himself. Unable to process what had just happened.

What have you done? He slowly sat down.

That could have been me, then what then?

Would you have killed me?

The classmates pushed against each other, fighting for safety as Kagane shook the gun at them.

I said don't scream, Kagane yells

Takumi regains consciousness and slowly opens his eyes, not knowing where he's at.

The noise from his classmates seemed like a distant sound. His vision was all a blur, with a fuzzy image of whites and reds.

His vision slowly restored and the whites turned to the school uniform of Todoroki, his best friend and the reds turned into the blood spilling out of his head.

Todoroki!

He screams, alarming Kagane who turns around. A deep scowl fills his face, he looks down at Takumi as he crawls on the ground, crying and trying to get to his dead friend.

Shut up! Kagane yells

Shut up! All of you!

He walks to Takumi, who is still crying

I said shut up, he goes on his knees and presses the gun on the back of Takumi's head.

Shut it fatso, don't make another sound, not another sound.

Takumi held back his tears the best he could but his eyes were directly on his friend.

He could see deep into the hole in his head and his eyes were still open with his face frozen in shock. His eyes looked empty but in those eyes Takumi could see many shared memories.

With Takumi now quiet, Kagane gets up and looks around the class. He pants heavily trying to catch his breath, he puts his hands on his side and just watches everybody.

The crowd huddling at both side of the class begin to shuffle against each other in distress. Terrified at what he might do.

Nothing felt linear with Kagane. You could never tell what would drive him mad. He could scream at you for breathing too loud,all the while making a much louder noise than you.

Calm down everybody. We can't start killing each other now. We haven't even gotten to recess yet.

Kagane give a big sigh of relief

We should all just calm down.

They all can't find any way to calm themselves. They lean to the side crying and trying to avoid eye contact with him. The tension it to much for some they can't seem to take it anymore.

Stress lines from around their eyes, they can't stop their bodies from trembling. The boys stay on alert, the stress is weighing on them, their eyes are red and uniforms completely soaked with sweat.

Okay, okay, Kagane says. I'll put the gun away. He tucks the gun at the back of his pants and shows them his empty hands.

Now you all may take your seats.

They look at each other, not trusting what he said but what could they do, he has the gun. They slowly and wearily returned to their seats.

Tobio!

What! Tobio answers, he seemed a bit out of it and in disbelief .

Wake him up, Kagane says, referring to Fritz

How could he sleep through all that? I don't get the Germans, Kagane says.

Tobio nudges Fritz, he doesn't wake up, so he nudges him harder and he slowly shuffles out of position he raises his head, sleepy and confused.

Are we going home now? He says.

Kagane burst out laughing

My It feels like you came straight out of a cartoon fritz san?

Fritz laughs along with him, all the while not understanding a thing.

Kagane walks back toward the teachers desk. He picks the Takumi's bottle of the floor and walks over to miss Yoshida.

He stands over her and tips the bottle over, just to the point where the water is about to spill out, he hold it there and says.

Playing dead are we, miss Yoshida?

She doesn't react, her face looked still, to the point where it seemed a bit forced. Kagane pour the water on the teachers face.

There's a bit of gasping around the classroom. He looks up at them and they all look straight ahead, avoiding his gaze.

Miss Yoshida doesn't react. He turns the bottle upright. Then squats down beside her.

Don't piss me off, Miss Yoshida. The room is starting to reek of urine, your students are soiling themselves. They need you, miss yoshida.

Still no reaction. Kagane sighs out if frustration.

Alright, Kagane says. He looks up and sees a girl in one of the front desks.

Hey! He says to her. Give me your panties.

She yelps, too scared to say no, too scared to ask why. Just frozen with fear.

Hurry up!

She looks around the class for support from her friends. They all look away from her.

Come on, hurry up.

She begins to cry. She reaches up into her skirt to pull down her panties. She looks at Kagane hoping he'd change his mind and spare her the embarrassment.

Miss Yoshida had enough by now. Not wanting to risk anybodies safety, she open her eyes and tries to speak.

Intantly Kagane draws out the gun from his back and presses it again her forehead,pushing her head back down on the ground.

The times past now miss Yoshida. You're playing possom remembered, play your role and I'll play mine.

He looks up at the girl and she burst out crying

Where are the panties?
