Into the fire
"Seiko! What happened?! Why are you vomiting?!" Naomi could only stare with horror at her fiancé. "N-Naomi...t-this is j-just t-temporary...I-I'll b-be f-fit i-in a minute-?!" Seiko once again, vomited on the floor. "Seiko! Even if this is temporary, I know you're having a convulsion!" Naomi tried her best to pursue Seiko to go out of the godforsaken place. "L-listen t-to m-me...a-at least o-once..." Seiko slowly stood up while her knees were shaking, veins started to appear all over her body, and tears started to flow on her cheeks.
Naomi couldn't carry Seiko with her crippled body. But she had to endure the pain for Seiko's sake. Naomi gently held Seiko's arm and both of them started to walk again like nothing happened. [ Seiko...what's happening to you?! I can't even read your mind! What are you thinking...Seiko?! ] Naomi didn't jolt even one bit when her body started to ache. "Naomi...it's okay...I can walk on my own now..." Seiko released her arm from Naomi's grasp, and started walking by herself.
"Seiko, I know you're hiding something! Just spill the beans already! I can't take it anymore! I don't want to see you suffer anymore!" Naomi cried out loud as Seiko stared at her. "So you think there's something wrong with me huh? Look at me right now...I'm fit as a fiddle! So don't ask me anymore, okay?" Seiko hissed at Naomi. The way the small girl said it, was more like she was angry. This silenced Naomi. Both of them were silent for a couple of minutes before they reached Yoshiki and Ayumi's location.
"Shinohara! Nakashima! Are you two okay!?" Yoshiki ran towards the couple and covered his nose when he smelled the vomit. "Sheesh...did one of you guys vomit?" Yoshiki said in a rude way. "Seiko vomited and she's having convulsions..." Naomi replied to Yoshiki straightforwardly. "C-convulsions?! T-then we should head out and go to the nearest hospital right away!" Yoshiki scratched the back of his head and made his way to Ayumi. Ayumi gazed at Hinoe, Yuka, Satoshi and Kizami's corpses placed in the den's doorway.
"Sis, Yuka, Satoshi...even Kizami...why did their life end this way?!" Ayumi knelt down on her knees and started to weep in front of the decaying bodies of the unfortunate people who died in this terrible place. Yoshiki patted Ayumi's head and made a smile. "We're going to kill that bastard okay? We won't let him get away with this!" Seiko gawped at Naomi. Of course Naomi was cognizant, that Seiko was suffering from an illness. "Hmm? What is it Seiko?" Naomi wrapped her arms around the small girl.
"Naomi...it's okay...I can walk on my own now..." Seiko said that sentence again. Naomi was startled. She knew it was like a déjà vu. [ I know Seiko has forgotten some events in the past. But this is so unusual...she's not the kind of person who's always scatterbrained most of the times...] "I-is that so? Then I'll let you walk on your own!" Naomi grinned at Seiko. But it seems Seiko didn't feel any emotion at all. "Okay..." Seiko let go of Naomi's embrace.
[ Seiko...] Naomi felt her heart break in two. This was the first time Seiko didn't like hugs from her. She knew that her fiancé liked hugs, especially if it's from her. But she felt like she was communicating with another person. Seiko just stood there, as if she was frozen to her spot. "What's wrong Naomi? Why are you crying?" Seiko looked at Naomi, and spoke in a leaden attitude. "S-Seiko...tell me...what really is occurring inside your body..." Naomi responded back with never ending tears dropping from her eyes.
[ What is happening to me? I don't know anymore...I just want to die...I don't want to be a hindrance for everybody...but why am I feeling guilt? It's like I'm abandoning something..no...someone that's important...not only one human but two...who is the other one? And who is the first one? Who is Naomi to me? And who is the other person to me? What is their significance? It feels like a dream...a hallucination in fact. Every thing seems so vague...I couldn't see a vivid light or a transparent sign...I just want to disappear!] Seiko woke up from her dream. "Seiko! You fell asleep! What's gotten into you?!"
"Naomi?! W-what am I doing here? Is this still the slaughter house?!" Seiko looked surprised. She wasn't even able to remember her dream, or a nightmare. She was just glad to see Naomi. Seiko removed the shirt she was wearing, since she was wearing another shirt underneath. "There you go! The stinky scent of the vomit is gone~" Seiko was back to being her cheery self. Naomi sighed in relief. She was glad that her fiancé was back to her normal self.
"You guys! Stop fooling around! We gotta kill the hell out of that son of a b****!" Yoshiki exclaimed while putting his fist in the air. "Well? Are you guys coming or what?" Ayumi showed a bottle of crude oil and a box of match sticks. "I'll burn him alive with his sins!" Ayumi quickly went inside of the den with Yoshiki. "We have to know our escape plan if we're setting his place on fire!" Yoshiki said while running with Ayumi. But he didn't get a response from her. [ Don't tell me...she's going to...] Yoshiki felt a bad ambience when he turned back. [ So they plan to head out huh? ]
While both of them got ready to go inside the den, Kensuke suddenly appeared behind them. Seiko, using her instincts, gave Kensuke a hook punch to his chin. This made Kensuke's knees' nerves freeze. "WHAT THE HECK?! WHY CAN'T I STAND UP!?" Kensuke punched and punched his knees to win over the shock. But while he was busy doing his business, Seiko already transported Naomi inside the den.
"Naomi don't worry! We'll get out as soon as we burn this place into ashes!" Seiko trotted as fast as she could. [ If Naomi dies here...if I die here...our baby won't have any parents! I don't want to make my child unhappy...I don't want to vanish like mother...] Seiko's eyes went sharp when she saw Misuto standing over Yoshiki's and Ayumi's bodies. "Man what took you so f****** long?! I've beaten these guys just seconds ago!" Misuto threw Ayumi at the television screen. Ayumi's face was covered in blood as soon as the shattered glass bruised her face. "OWWWWW! IT HURTS! IT HURTS!" Ayumi screeched in pain as Misuto was beating her up again.
"Damn you! That's my wife! Stop hurting her!" Yoshiki grabbed Misuto's leg and cut it off using a saw that he found while Misuto was busy with Ayumi. "YOU F****** IMBECILE!" Misuto dropped Ayumi as he tripped from a book that was in his laboratory. Using the opportunity, Yoshiki splashed the crude oil on Misuto and to the entire laboratory. "SEIKO! NAOMI! HURRY, GET OUT! I'LL TAKE CARE OF AYUMI!" Seiko nodded and carried Naomi, bridal style, and dashed to the main entrance of the building.
Yoshiki lightened he match stick and threw it at Misuto. Then he went to pick up Ayumi and went out of the laboratory. "Y-YOU B******! Y-YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO "it" IF YOU BURN THIS PLACE! THIS IS MY REVENGE!" Misuto was soon burned to crisps and the fire was spreading throughout the building. "Seiko?! What's wrong?! Can you stand up?!" Naomi could smell the fumes getting stronger and stronger.
Naomi didn't have the time to ponder about it. She carried Seiko, who was currently vomiting again, and broke the window using her hand in order to get out immediately. [ I gotta look for Yoshiki and Ayumi as well! They might be trapped by the fire! But I can't leave Seiko alone!" ] Naomi had a choice to make. But all she heard was Seiko's phone buzz.
From: Dad
Message:
SEIKO! THE ZYGOTE IS GONE! SOMEONE STOLE IT!
Naomi stood firm on the ground as she took a glimpse of Seiko and her baby suffering. "All right...you really had to go this far...you can hurt me...but not my family!" Naomi growled. "N-Naomi...don't g-go! You'll only harm yourself!" Seiko begged Naomi not to go. "Seiko...our baby is in danger...I...I have a choice to make.." Naomi's voice became more serious. " Then...I'm coming-?!" Seiko looked at Naomi's dull and scary eyes. " I don't want an extra baggage to come with me..." Seiko felt awful. She can accept this sentence from anybody...anybody except Naomi. Naomi fled to the burning building to save their baby and the other couple.
What she didn't notice was, Seiko followed her. Though her body was gradually getting better, her sanity was lowering. [ Naomi said I was an extra baggage...but why am I still following her...is it because of the baby? Or is because I still love her and I want my family to be complete? ] Seiko was lowering her pace when she felt two eyes staring directly at her and Naomi.
Kensuke jumped at Naomi, causing her to twist her ankle. "IF I BURN TO DEATH HERE! I'LL BURN TO DEATH WITH YOU!" Kensuke strangled Naomi, and this made Seiko's "wild animal" instinct snap. Seiko grabbed the cutter which was with Satoshi's corpse. She slowly stabbed it on Kensuke's neck. While Kensuke's grip was starting to loosen, Naomi went back to her senses and saw Seiko who was already starting to become insane. As Seiko was done killing Kensuke, she stayed in an awkward stance for a minute.
Naomi carried Seiko hurriedly and went to search for Ayumi and Yoshiki. Luckily, she encountered them instantly. "Yoshiki! Follow me!" Naomi and Yoshiki ran towards the window and went out. "The fire is massive enough to burn this crap! Let's go before a police car arrives!" Yoshiki placed Ayumi and Seiko, who's eyes were still open but wasn't moving, inside he car. Yoshiki turned around to check if Naomi was in the car. "Naomi get in-?!" Yoshiki looked for Naomi around the area, but she was nowhere to be found.
"Naomi don't go back!" Yoshiki pleaded but Naomi was already in before he could say that sentence. "I gotta find the bottle which the zygote of my and Seiko's baby is..." Naomi huffed and puffed as she covered her nose with her shirt. She arrived in the annex which was blazing with fire. She read the label of the bottle of the zygote which was on the bottle. It took awhile for her to see which was hers on the shelf but she found the bottle anyway.
The main building was already filled with flames and fumes. She kept the bottle safe and broke out through the nearest window she saw. She got out with the bottle and went to the car. She got inside and Yoshiki drove away from the building which was falling like a debris.
