Chapter 18
"Yes, the Killer had been killing those important people who have any relationship with you. For example, Kiba. I was pretty sure that when he did his report to your house, he was going to ask you to be your girlfriend the next day but he was killed. Rock Lee, he knew about the proposal that Kiba was going to do and was going to compete with him that day but he was killed as well." He started.
"Then there's the Principal who you always ask for help when you needed one and treat as your second father. Then Sumire, the Killer would have been listening to our conversation in the Ferris wheel so he knew that Sumire is an intelligent woman and would be able to maybe solve the mystery because her father Hatake Kakashi is also a detective." (Yes Sumire's father in this story is Kakashi)
"Can't you see Y/n? Everyone who have died has at least a connection to you or someone who is close at finding out who the Killer is. Now that I think about it, the Killer might not even be Mitsuki." Shikadai muttered, enough for me and Inojin to hear.
He place both of his hands on the table then he intertwined them together.
"So are you saying that... either you or me is going to be the next target?" Inojin ask without any emotions in his face.
Although deep down inside him, I could see that he was scared just a little bit.
Right, Inojin's father is part of the Anbu police, the highest rank in the Police Department. No wonder why he doesn't show any fear much.
"There's a high chance on that since we're getting close on finding out who the killer is." Shikadai said.
"Back to Mitsuki, why did you change your mind about him being the Killer?" Inojin questions.
"It's because John said that the Killer had been in front of you this whole time right? So... I have a feeling that it's someone from school whom you've been seeing since Kindergarten. You just met Mitsuki recently so it can't be him." Shikadai explained and this is when I remembered about my dream.
"No... I already knew about him before but I just forgotten about him." I exclaim and they both look at me for explanations. "I met him when I was a child when three kids were bullying him and I tried helping him. From that day on, we started to come closer together but one day... I forgot about him which I didn't know why."
"Strange..." Inojin mumbled. "What makes you forget about him?"
His question got me into a deep thought to where I couldn't really pick anything up. I then remember the dream I had and this made me remember everything.
"He... use to abuse me back when I was a child when I lost my mother." And that was it.
That was when I remembered everything...
That was why I have lost my memories...
It was because of my father...
My father's torture and abuse...
It wasn't only that...
Before my mother died...
He would always get jealous when my mother is hanging out with another guy...
For that result...
He abuse my mother as well...
But... why?
"So... Y/n's father is the Killer?" Inojin said the words that kept repeating in my mind. "It makes sense right? Only Y/n's father is the only one that Y/n always see. Maybe that is why John also didn't went straight to the point. Your father could hear your conversation with him. He was playing it safe. On top of that, your father might have been abusing John as well."
"No... it couldn't be..." No matter how hard I tried not to accept that my father could be the Killer, my guts keep telling me that he's the Killer. "He... changed..."
Or that was what I thought...
Flashback of my father torturing me everyday, blaming me for the loss of my mother came flashing in my mind and I wanted it to go away. I then remember that my father would always inject me with something and this will cause me to forget everything that happened eight hours earlier.
That was the reason of why I have lost my memory. The reason why I couldn't remember Mitsuki or anything about my mother. The reason why I even forgot the part that my father would abuse my mother for protecting me and when she was gone, I have to endure all the pain and torture that he gave me.
Suddenly, another memory flash before my eyes.
Flashback
"This is not fair! After everything that I have done for you, this is all I get! I have enough of it!" My mother shouted at my father, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Life could never be fair if you're against somehow who's much more powerful than you. And right now, I am much more powerful than you." My father said as he slap my mother on the face really hard. "I own you so you're only mine and no one else. You will do anything I want you to do because I own you. If you don't abide me, then there's going to be consequences."
"You don't own me! I have my own life!" My mother defended and my father scowled while glaring hard at my mother. "I am leaving right here, right now!"
My father then grabbed me and pointed a knife on my neck. My mother widen her eyes as she watch me in fear.
"Don't you dare." My mother yelled as she continued to cry.
On the other hand, I was also crying in fear.
"M-mommy! H-help me!" I ask for her help and she look at me.
"Put her down right now or I'll shoot you." My mother threatened as she grab a gun from behind her.
"Don't make me do it *mother's name*, you know to yourself that I will kill her. Now just give up and be mine again." My father warned.
