Chapter 23: Eve Of Insanity

~Kokichi's POV~

Ever since my contract with (Y/N) formed, I've always felt...safe. There was something about it y'know? Being able to have the being of pure insanity at your beckon call, that just makes you feel, powerful. But when I first saw her in her human form, I noticed a sadness in her eyes. She didn't look insane to me. She looked sad. Like she just needed someone to be there and hug her once in a while. Just like how I needed someone to pat me on the head and tell me it was alright. I guess we were the same in that regard. She always told me I was different, that I was special, I was unique. Different from her other Eves. Kinder than the other Eves of Insanity. When I was only nine I gained my first title, Kokichi Oma, Eve of Insanity. But something about that...never felt right. It never described me and (Y/N)'s relationship. When we became Servamp and Eve I treated her like I would anyone in my organization. As a friend. As a person. And yet she seemed confused by that. She was wary around me, like I'd snap at any moment. But I kept reaching out to her. Trying to get her to take my hand. And when she finally did, we became best friends. Our relationship was never Servamp and Eve. It was always best friends. Well...with me having a small crush on her when I turned fourteen. Weird? Yeah, absolutely. But it felt right. I never really liked going out of my comfort zone. Sure I was bold at times but I always had (Y/N) and the others at my side. So I was never uncomfortable doing the things I did. Growing up the way I did it's no surprise that I turned out the way I did. I lost both my parents when I was only five. And from what I can remember of them they never really liked me. Always considered me a brat. I was only five, geez. Not all kids are diamonds you know. And after they up and died on me I only had my other two friends, Karma and Shadow. Both of which nothing but a demon and her devil companion. I remember one time I called them Lilith and Lucifer. The King and Queen of Hell. It suited them. Karma's parents were always away, never cared about him, and Shadow a lot like me lost her family to a house fire. At least she knows how her parents died. I never could figure out who or what killed my parents. And of course I was an only child. And my mother always wanted a girl hence my long hair. Karma said that I reminded him of a friend of his. But I grew to like my longer hair and styled it to suit my more odd personality. And when I was seven I made D.I.C.E. along with Karma and Shadow. Because all of us loved to pull pranks on not only other people but eachother we made the masks and uniforms to suit a more clown like appearance. And eventually we became known as the Three Terrors of the town. Everyone else started joining soon after. And when I was nine (Y/N) came into my life. And it felt great having a vampire watch your back. Even if I was a very intelligent nine year old I was still a nine year old. It felt cool having a supernatural creature at my side. It made me feel important. Most kids grow up fearing monsters and things of the sort, but not me. I grew up on my own with my own opinions. So when she explained she was a vampire I just found it cool. Not only did I grow up thinking vampires were cool but I always thought that any supernatural creature was cool. Dragons, griffins, demons, kitsune, wyverns, all of it I found fascinating. And not just supernatural creatures, normal creatures too. I really liked cats most of all. I guess that's why I picked up (Y/N)'s cat form that day. I always wanted a cat and she seemed like she was abandoned on the street there. I always hated people that abandoned animals or abused them. It was the one thing I wouldn't stand for half the time. And I think another reason I picked her up was that I just needed a companion. I had the other D.I.C.E. members, and they cared about me a lot and I cared about them. But we always lacked a certain closeness. I wanted someone to always be at my side. And I think a tiny cat would fit that bill. It was even better once I found out about her being a vampire. And she'd always be there too. Every day when I woke up she was either at my side or in the kitchen cooking. Everyday she was at my side and never left for more than an hour. Trust me I timed her when she went out doing things. She'd never be gone for more than an hour at a time. 

And with her always at my side, I always felt safe. Because she was always there, watching my back. Keeping the demons away. And of course when she first introduced me to anime I was ecstatic. We'd even have playful debates over who was the best character. It was another way I got close to her. And yeah, you heard that right. (Y/N) was the one who introduced me to anything that could be considered anime. I was always fond of Yu-Gi-Oh being honest. Probably because of all the different creatures. And when I told her I actually wanted to learn how to play the actual card game she taught me herself. I quickly became a master at it but she and I tied more often than either of us would actually win. How do you tie at Yu-Gi-Oh you ask? Well it's considered a tie or draw if the game is interrupted or both players life points reach zero at the same time. Me and (Y/N) had lots of trap and spell cards that would result in that second option happening. Believe it or not (Y/N) taught me most of my favorite games. Maybe they're my favorites because she taught them to me. Things like chess, checkers, and poker are all things that she taught me. She always said that she thought I'd like them because they're mostly strategy based games. And since I wanted to be the leader that D.I.C.E. deserved I was always open to learning things like that. And believe it or not (Y/N) was the one who taught me how to lie so well. She gave out the best pointers but was mostly hands off and let me experiment on my own. And I was able to find the best ways to lie that worked for me. Games, lying, leading, all of these things she taught me how to do. The things that I love came from her. She made my life so much better. Not only protecting me, but by making me who I am today. I was skilled before, but became a master after she showed me. And of course the combat training. I found that was the easiest way to bond with her. It was the quickest way to earn her respect and loyalty. And when it came to sparring I was able to surprise her a few times in the beginning. She wasn't expecting me to already be stronger than I looked. And I only improved as we continued sparring. Of course sparring with a vampire was never easy. But me and the other members of D.I.C.E. would all have scuffles and brawls before she came and I could've sworn everyone in D.I.C.E. was some kind of supernatural creature. Frost was always unnaturally fast and strong. Like she was a vampire, but she wasn't, trust me I asked (Y/N). Crimson and Violet could always tell what you were going to do before you even thought about doing it. It was like they could read your mind. Karma and Shadow always seemed like polar opposites and yet when it came down to it they could move just as fast if not faster than (Y/N) ever could. They could take more hits than anyone else in the entire organization, almost as if their skin was scales as hard as diamonds. Spark and Ruby always seemed a little...odd. They acted so catlike at times and yet Ruby was just as scary and strong as anyone else. And Spark had the endurance to get slung through a concrete wall and then get up like it was nothing. And they always had sharp reflexes. Everyone did. But these two I could only describe as having catlike reflexes. Always landing on their feet, being able to move like lightening. I swear sneaking up on either of them was impossible. Drake always seemed out there. And yet when it came to fighting he became a completely different person. He'd smirk, taunt, and be just as sadistic as Karma whenever he was fighting someone. Yet outside of the ring he was shy, calm, and respectful of everyone. If not just a little bit curious and nosy. And he could take a hit from anyone of us and still get back up again. Like he had been through hell and back. And with Chara, no. They were human, absolutely no questions asked. But their ability to adapt and use any weapon with no prior training at all made them seem a little supernatural. And it was like they were unhitable when it came to fighting. They could always dodge like a pro but always felt like they were possessed at times. Either that or just flat out felt like a monster. And I say that in the kindest way possible. Growing up with violent people like that you kinda have to become stronger in order to keep up with everyone.

All my life I grew up around people like that. People that were different. Odd. Branded as outcasts. And yet we all fit right in with eachother. And (Y/N) well....she made me feel special. Like a king. Although I treated her like a friend. And most of the time she did that to me as well...And yet to her I was her King. More times than not whenever we were in public she'd always address me as her superior. And she was always there with a bottle of Panta at the ready. She always stood by my side as I sat on my throne of lies. Always there, always awaiting an order. And whenever I gave her an order...she'd carry it out flawlessly. Never stumbling, never questioning. She'd see to it that my every request was met perfectly. If life was a chess board, and I was the king...It makes you wonder what she'd be. Because at first, people would brand her has my pawn. But she's more special than that. No, she's more like my queen. A queen that follows my every order flawlessly, without hesitation. A queen that can do anything, can be anywhere, all at the call of her name. All it takes is an order. It made me feel special. And if she's the Queen of Insanity. I guess that means I'm the King of Insanity huh? I've never really looked at it like that. And yet when the killing game started, I saw more sides of her than I ever thought possible. And just like she was there for me, I was there for her. And when the time came that I needed to give her that fatal order. The order to kill...I didn't hesitate. There's one thing that (Y/N) always stressed whenever we played chess. And that was to never hesitate when making a move. Never show weakness in a game of life or death. There was one lesson she didn't have to teach me, I already knew. Nothing in the world is as it seems. In this dog eat dog world its kill or be killed. But I always tried to avoid death. I could never stomach it properly. After the first trial, after seeing Rantaro and Kaede dead I was vomiting in my bathroom for hours. Not the most pleasant experience I'll admit. But one that made me realize that this killing game...was just like chess. Kill or be killed. Never hesitate. Always plan ahead. And never make moves on impulse. 

"Show Time. Welcome to the lair of insanity. Nothing can save you now." 

The moment (Y/N) uttered those words it fully sunk in just what I had unleashed upon the three masterminds. And yet I didn't care. They deserved it for putting me in this hell hole. I glared at them all as they looked at (Y/N) in fear. But my thoughts really couldn't focus on what was happening right now. My thoughts lingered on (Y/N) and her words to me. And how close she had been. My face started to heat up at the memory. Her movements and words were hypnotic. Had she always had that effect on me? I felt a little light headed from the blood loss. But that was quickly overcome by hatred and bloodlust. My hand twitched as a purple light shone from the mark on my wrist. (Y/N) looked back at me with a smirk as the almost ghost-like gun appeared in my hand. I walked to her side with a smirk of my own. "What? You think I'm just going to let her rip you apart herself?" I questioned. I pointed my gun directly at Tsumugi. "Now as the Eve of Insanity I feel slightly offended that you'd think I'd just let her have all the fun. I mean c'mon if D.I.C.E. really is dead as their leader I should have died along with them. Because of you I couldn't do that so sorry 'bout your luck but I think I'll be taking my revenge now. Besides..." I trailed off my smirk growing. 

"What kind of King allows his Queen to do everything? That's not how this game works."
