Chapter 12: Show Time

It was almost time for the show. E Class was already in there seats and so were all the other fans. The seating areas were all filled with fans and chattering. There were only a few minutes left until the concert began.

The lights went out, the stage lights and music started.

The fans started cheering and chanting.

Kazuko performed all the songs that were released in her latest album, as well as the choreography that goes with each song. After each performance, she would take a small break and interact with the fans.

Halfway through the concert, at the end of her song, a few of the staff came out with baskets of merch and started tossing them into the crowds. Some even launched out t-shirts with a t-shirt canon.

She started with her most energetic songs and ended with some of her more calming songs to bring the concert to an end.

The music started to fade out and the fans started cheering. After the cheers died down, Kazuko had a few words to say.

"Thank you for being here tonight, it really means a lot to me that my music has reached out to so many of you and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you all. I love you guys! Oh, and for those who have a backstage pass can show it to the staff at the exits."

The crowd cheered once more as the lights turned on for the audience's safety as they exit.

Kazuko waved to them as she slowly walked off stage back to her dressing room to get ready for the fans who got backstage passes.

Once she was ready, a staff member directed the fans to the back and once they caught sight of Kazuko they started to scream in excitement.

She greeted each of them with a handshake, a photo together, as well as signing an album and poster. The backstage fan meet lasted for about an hour. In that time, each of them were able to talk, ask questions and take photos, but they couldn't talk for more than 5 minutes since they had to get everyone through. Some laughed and some cried, but they all had a great time.

E Class was at the back of the line, huddled together like a group of penguins. After everyone else finished, only they were left.

"You guys must be the E Class from Kunugigaoka Junior High, right?" Kazuko asked with a smile. "A friend of mine told me all about you guys."

"She knows who we are!?" Some of the students shouted in surprise. "Who told you?!"

"She told me to keep it a secret," Kazuko smiled. "But you'll find out soon, I'm sure of it."

The class wrapped up the time they had with her and the staff kindly made their way out with them.

Now that everything was over, Kazuko took off the make up that was on her face, feeling somewhat refreshed after. She also changed back into her clothes before leaving.

Kazuko thanked all the staff members and her manager before heading out of the building through the back doors, for obvious reasons.

It was nice and outside, but it was dark and she was a little tired from performing for so long.

Kazuko wasn't aware of the suspicious black van following close behind her, until it was too late.

One person sneaked up behind her and covered her nose and mouth with a chloroform covered cloth and dragged her into the van.

Chloroform takes around 5 minutes to work it's magic, so for the time being, one person kept the cloth over her mouth and nose, while the other ties her up with rope.

Kazuko kept struggling to avoid getting tied up, but to no avail, she screams were also muffled by the drug covered cloth that slowly, but surely made her go hazy and unconscious.

After some time, the van stopped. Kazuko slowly regained consciousness again. Her eyes were blindfolded real tight, her mouth was taped shut, she had a massive headache and felt weak.

The men who were in the van, carried her out easily. She heard them talking, but even the things she were hearing sounded muffled.

She was carried into a cold, dark room. They tied her to a chair in the middle of the room and left her there. No one else was in the room.

"What do I do?!" Kazuko panicked in her mind. "Am I going to die!? How long will I be here for!? Is anyone gonna look for me, will they even realize that I'm gone!? My phone!"

She shuffled around the chair hoping that she'd feel her phone in her pocket.

"Oh good it's still there... but I can't get to it..." she took a deep breath.

Eventually, she got tired of freaking out and fell asleep.

There was no way of telling time in the space she was in.

"It's probably been days since I got here, I wonder if I'll even see the sun again," she thought.

~Meanwhile in the E Class building~

"Has anyone seen Shiniko today?" Koro-sensei asked.

The class didn't respond.

It's been three days since the concert and Shiniko's disappearance from class.

"It's not like her to skip school like this," Isogai said aloud.

"She wasn't with us for the concert and she hasn't contacted me in awhile now too," Kayano mentioned sadly.

"She doesn't even contact the rest of us, why would she contact you?" Terasaka retorted and Kayano sank in her chair a little.

"If only you knew..." Kayano thought.

~Back to Kazuko~

Heavy footsteps could be heard echoing in the room, coming closer and closer to Kazuko.

"That doesn't sound too promising..." she thought.

"It's so nice to finally reunite with you... My daughter..." the rather masculine voice said.

Kazuko began to squirm around in her chair, desperately trying to escape as she recognized that voice and her phone fell out.

"Well, what do we have here. Is this your phone?" the man walked closer and picked it up. "You have no idea how much pain and suffering you caused for your family... So, let's have a bit of fun shall we?










Shiniko Kuroshira."
