Dormitory - 4 pm

So I arrived home by around 2 pm. Jin was still here and sleeping... I also got my allowance and a new lab coat inside my closet. I can't live a life without a lab coat okay! My tablet... I managed to fixed it... So in short, I almost have nothing to worry about! Except Hoji...

Since Wakiya's private investigator is dead, my next target would be Hoji, then Wakiya. But Wakiya's house has an elevator in it and I have no idea wether i'll get in without anyone noticing.

Or I could just ring the doorbell... I'm pretty sure the young master wouldn't answer the door.

I bit the tip of my pen and started to brainstorm about my plans. I know everything will work out fine... Of course. Tomorrow's my last day and on Saturday, it's my time to shine.

Well Before Saturday I have to survive two more hells before heaven... God why is it so hard to be on top? I wish you can just kick Lui out of his throne and you're finally on top. I hate it.

"What are you thinking Naoki?..."Jin mumbled, staring at me with his eyes half opened. He was tired and everything... I mean he's always tired even though he didn't do anything at all.

"Isn't it obvious..?"I groaned, pulling out my dirty knife that I didn't get to wash. It smells like blood..

"You killed someone?"Jin sat down, glancing at the knife then back at me. "... With a knife and not your poison?.."

"He knew better. He deserves this... Obviously..."I snorted, dropping the knife on my table. It's been a while since I killed someone with a knife... The last one I gave someone a bloodbath was... 4 years ago...

"You still remember what you did to your... Twin?"Jin uttered, wrapping the blanket around his petite body... I tried to forget Shinichi. Nobody knows about his existence... Except Jin... I told him about Shin... He's my... Twin brother that hated me more than the people I killed...

He tried turning me in... But... I accidentally killed him... And that made myself more miserable than anyone... It's not obvious from my facial expressions and body language that i'm hurt... But...

"Shin's fine... He's... Not hurt anymore..."Jin smiled, standing up as he hugged me tight... He's so warm... He made me forget everything... But...

"Shin... Why does he hate what I love..?"I frowned, not noticing that tears were streaming down my cheeks...

"I don't know.. Naoki..."Jin placed his palm on my cheeks and wipes my tears."I don't wanna see the person I love cry."

My eyes widened, I started to palpitate. I don't know what i'm feeling but I know it was a feeling of euphoria. I know i've heard it right."J...Jin?"

"Yeah Naoki..?"Jin gave me a sweet smile, his sharp teeth were exposed and I find it cute... I don't know.. Many will find it scary but for me.. He's cute..

"Do you really love me..?"I choked, clearing my throat as I held him in my arms tighter.

"Yeah! I'm not naive anymore!"Jin giggled. "I love you!"

"Jin..."

Dormitory - 7 pm

"Jin?!"I jumped awake, palpitating as those images of Jin hugging and confessing our feelings to each other flash in my head. I didn't realize I was lucid dreaming. Everything felt so real, obviously because it's LUCID dreaming...

"I... It was just a dream..."I groaned, holding my forehead as I shook my head in frustration. I was already happy... But waking up shattered my dreams into particles.

But that dream wasn't all about Jin... My twin brother was also mentioned in my dream... Yeah.. As I have said... It's like he doesn't exist... My mom doesn't remember him after I gave her a substance that can make her forget fragments of her memories.

"Shinichi Minamo. He looks exactly like me of course... But not quite..."I bit my finger and pulled out a scrap of paper under my bed. It wasn't really just paper... But it was Shinichi's picture.

That pastel blue hair, familiar side bangs... But he doesn't braid his hair like I do... He has a birthmark on his shoulder... He wears an eyepatch because... I... Accidentally placed a scratch on his eye... He doesn't like Science because he chose Philosophy. And... He doesn't kill people... He hates those... So that's why I accidentally killed him...

(I visualize him as an innocent little potato. HE'S FREKIN CUTEEE!)

I crumpled the paper in my palm, images of Shinichi's death flashes in my head. The way I stab his eyes with a knife... The way I snatch his right eye from his eye socket... The way I punish him because of my pride and anger... I regret all of those...

He cried and asked for mercy... Yet I ignored him like he was nothing... Like I do not even know him. Like he was just a stray dog begging for food.

"Shut up! You don't deserve to live! Traitor!"

"N...Na...Naoki! P...Please! You... You have to stop what you're doing... Y...y...you... You're not the Naoki I know... Killing people.. Th..that's... Bad!"

"ARGH! SHUT UP!"

"AAHHH! SHIN! STOP MAKING ME GO MAD!"I cried out. Ruffling my hair as I started to laugh uncontrollably.

I killed my brother. I killed him with my own hands. I think that's the only punishment the heavens would give me for killing people. To regret that moment everyday.

"Naoki are you alright...?"Jin knocked on my door. I can see his shadow from outside my room.

"Yeah... Yeah. Whatever you heard it was nothing."I snapped back to myself, tapping my cheeks as I started to feel my cheeks burn red in annoyance.

The door suddenly opened, revealing Jin from behind the door. As always, he was wearing his blue jacket as he stared at me blankly. And I don't have to repeat a thousand times that he have access to my room.

"You haven't eaten your dinner..." Jin handed me a box of ramen. It's obvious he bought it from the convenient store just right across our dormitory.

I snorted, taking the box of ramen as I quickly gobbled down the noodles with my chopsticks. It tastes fine... But its ingredients isn't just wheat. It has a mix of artificial substances that aren't healthy.

Like I care about it anyway.

"Tonight's the second to the last step of your plan."Jin smirked, walking cautiously to my bed. Obviously, he's gonna sleep again. Well at least I got some moral support from him.

"yeah..."I cleared my throat as I remembered what he had said to me earlier,"Jin." I uttered plainly, tucking my hands in my pocket as I felt tension all over.

"Yes Naoki?"He stared at me with bore. Yet I know he wasn't really bored, He was curious.

"About... What you said earlier on the phone...? What does it mean?"I choked, looking away. My hands are shaking and my finger fidget in sign of anxiousness.

"Naive...? I guess... I didn't notice your body languages."Jin turned around, hiding his face with my pillow."You want my cake."

Pfft...

"You... Knucklehead."I groaned, forcing myself to giggle even though i'm still annoyed and frustrated that he's still naive! SHIN JUST KILL ME PLEASE!

I walked out my room and glared at Jin. Jin was still staring at me with a grin,"Where are you going?"

"Execute my plans."I mumbled, giving him a sidelong look as I walked away.

"Why did you fell in love with a naive little kid that is as innocent as a baby!"I stomp my feet, hugging my tablet as I shut my eyes in sheer anger.

"Naoki!"Jin called, his voice were rather excited and loud this time. This was the first time I heard him became so hype.

I turned around, the door was slightly opened and I can see Jin giggling."I'm just kidding! Thanks for that feeling!"

What?!

Just a thank you for loving you?!

But... He was blushing, his eyes... I know he was really happy. It felt like I was lucid dreaming again but I know that all of these were real."Please be careful... And.. I don't really love Christina!"

My heart starts to skip a beat when I heard that. A feeling of excitement and a bit of nervousness. I don't know what this is but... It felt good and weird at the same time."Wh..what do you mean?"

"I guess it's just an infatuation. It slowly fades away as I find someone that really loves me and understand what love really means."He grinned, and that grin reaches up to his ears. His eyes, his smile... They're all in sync. His mind and heart... I know it's all true.

"Jin..."My lips formed a smile. Though I didn't really meant to smile... I guess it really made me happy."Thank you!"Heh! I'll just say thank you because you pranked me real bad!

He gave me a smile one last time before he disappeared behind the door. Jin... Now i'm more pump up for tonight!

By The Convenient Store - Around 9 pm

I fell asleep by the table inside the convenient store. I've been fixing this security breaker i've been working out for like... An hour already but it's worth it...

I take a sip of the cafe mocha I ordered so I could stay awake till midnight. It's gonna be a busy night so I have to be tough and ready.

My phone suddenly rings, I don't know who on earth will call me at this time but I guess it's important... I hope.

I raised an eyebrow and answered the call without even reading the number or name of whoever's calling me.

"Hello?"I answered plainly, my eyes were tired. My cup of coffee was half empty and to be honest, I felt bored...

"Naoki."

My eyes widened, that familiar voice... It gives me the chills, anxiety. How did he know my number? Of course... He's Shu.

"S...Shu?!"I choked, almost spitting the coffee from my mouth as I heard his cold and harsh voice. His voice wasn't really like this... His voice was as if he was back to being Red Eye.

"Is it true..?"Shu's voice was hoarse and filled with anger. I knew it. He doesn't like where this is heading. Shu and Wakiya are close to busting me... When that happen... All my hard work will be burned into ashes!

"What true...?"I gulped, my vision started to turn dark and blurred. I'm getting frustrated and nervous at the same time. Grr... Shu...

"You are in the convenient store?"Okay. This is getting awkward. Naive people... Well at least that's fine.

"Yeah."I almost burst out laughing. I thought he busted me. I guess I was just overthinking. Good grief...

"Because I can see you here. Oh and if you wanna ask how I know your number. I asked Wakiya's private investigator yesterday. I just wanna ask where he is though."Okay forget what I said.

"I haven't seen him since this afternoon..."I smirked, turning to this large glass window where Shu was standing beside a payphone. Our eyes met for a few second before he look away.

"Oh... I see. Can I come in?"He said plainly, tucking his hands in his pocket. I finished the coffee and threw it in the trash bin.

"Yeah sure."I replied, glancing at him as I went back at my table.

"Thanks."He hung up and walk down the pedestrian lane. Though he should have just ran down because it's really breezy outside and no car would pass by at a time like this...

"Ahh! What the hell! I'm crossing the road!"Shu's voice was so loud it made everyone inside the convenient store look at him with their eyebrows raised.

The car almost hit him.

Shu opened the door, catching his breath as he ran towards me,"Did.. You see that?"

I cleared my throat and turned to him,"Yeah... You caught everyone's attention.."I hid my security breaker inside my pocket and smiled at him innocently.

"I almost died."... He did emphasized the word 'died' so he could trigger me. Wow. He's so smart I could have wished you just died earlier so I could win and my conscience's clean as a velvet white blanket... And no one would suspect me for killing him because he died accidentally.

The people inside the convenient store looked at Shu. Everyone knows he was one of the supreme four so they look at him for like a minute straight without blinking. Dirty minded vapid idiots.

"Let's talk."He smiled at me, staring right into my eyes as he moved his face closer to mine. He's trying to intimidate me... O..or seduce me. Fudge.

"H..how can we talk if everyone in this room... S..stare at you and... You.. Staring at me awkwardly!"I glanced away, avoiding eye contacts with the guy i'll battle this Saturday and the reason why i'll kill Hoji and Murasaki.

"That's fine, Why are you up late?"Shu grinned, sliding his hands on the table, trying to reach mine. I pulled my hand away and hid it in my pocket. Wow. The surroundings felt hot. I think the oven's working.

God this guy's appeal is killing me.
Get away from me you seductive albino! Jin's my number one!

"Nothing... I... I'm bored."I bit my lower lip and fixed my hair. It's a bit of a messed up because I... Fell asleep earlier..

"Can we talk here till midnight?"Shu grinned. A smile that can kill you for a second. He knows what i'm planning... Shu... I... Can't... Kill you!

"Y...yeah sure..."No! I can't execute my plans! It's ruined! Aghh!

What should I do what should I do! I have to leave him before 11.. And... I can't make a substance that can make him forget fragments of his memory tonight! I don't have the ingredients... My target's hair... Ethanol... Copper... And... A femtogram of muriatic acid. Deadly substance, but works a hundred percent.. But... I have to find another way..

I turned around, looking at the selection of expensive wines. Hmm...

"Hey Shu."I smiled, standing up as I take a bottle of wine with 90% alcohol. This is gonna be a wild night Kurenai.

"Yeah?"Shu glanced at me, then back to his phone. I think he's texting Valt or Wakiya. Whatever.

"Wanna... Drink this out?"I smirked, paying 1000 yen for that one bottle. Then taking a shot of it. I don't really drink too much but I think I can handle this. I usually lie about my age so I managed to buy this kind of wine.

"What? But... Were jus-"I covered his mouth and glared at him. By the way I stare at his albino eyes, I think he got the idea.

"Okay... But I don't drink... Sorry."Shu gestured his hand as if he was saying no. This is gonna be hard to convince... If you're an amateur.

"How about we ask each other a few questions?... If you didn't get to answer, you'll take a shot. If you're correct, i'll take the shot. And vice versa. You go first."I pointed at him, feeling a bit confident and everything.

"Okay... Hmm... What kind of questions?"The game has started. Heh. It's time to turn the tables on ya.

"Scientific,Historical, anything related to school. Now that i've answered your question correctly, go drink a shot."I chuckled, giving him the shot of wine.

"Hey! That's not fair!"Shu pouts, pushing the shot away from him.

"Yes it is. You're not fair!"I look away. My lips wanted to let out a grin but I tried to contain it. God. This day... Won't it get any better?!

"Hmmph!"Shu forcibly gulped the wine, letting out a grimace as he cough up the wine."That doesn't taste good... What the."

"Now my turn."I smirked,"What is Newton's second law of motion?"

"Uh... It states that if err let's say... Body A exerts a force on Body B... Then Body B will exert an equal and opposite force on Body A?"Shu let out a faint grin.

"Not quite. That's the third law. Now drink!"I smirked, pushing one more shot to his side.

"That's not fair..."Shu shake his head and gulped one more shot of wine.

The game goes on till 10:35 pm. I got 5 shots while Shu got 14 shots. Even with that 5 shot it kinda made me dizzy... But 14..?

"One moreee!"Shu begged, staring at me with his tired eyes.

"That's enough. Let's get you home."I tapped his back and carried him on my back. He's pretty light if you asked me...

"Yea..yeah..."He fell asleep on my back as he started to snore silently. If only it's possible.. I would have killed you already... But I have to earn your trust.

By the Sidewalk - 11:06 pm

His.. Room... Is... ON THE FREAKIN LAST FLOOR OF A 16 STOREY BUILDING! I regret doing that to him!

Well at least he's out of the way... It's time to head to Wakiya's house. For the least I know where his house was... I have a map here in my tablet and this is the first time I found it useful because I don't use that app too much.

I walk down the gloomy sidewalk. It was really dark and creepy. All you can hear was the swooshes of the wind and how it brushes through the trees.

Well... At least I saw Orochi pass by,"Naoki? Is that you?"

"Hey, Orochi."I uttered, waving a hello at him as he waved back. He was still chewing a bubble gum.

Rantaro had an eternal lollipop while Orochi has a never-gonna-be-hard bubblegum. Beigoma's weird... But Jin made Beigoma better!

"What are you doing out here late at night?"Orochi blew the bubblegum that made it pop and scatter on his mouth.

"Just about to go home... Been stressed out lately because Shu's my next opponent.. If you remember?"I smiled. I was walking beside Orochi but he stopped right after we reached an intersection.

"I see. Good luck to your battle with Shu. He's a really hard competitor. Well I'm gonna take the opposite side. Bye."Orochi... He knows Wakiya a lot too... Well better avoid him.

I glanced at him as he slowly disappeared from my point of view. Well... Back to the real deal.

Let's see... Am I almost there?

I look back at my tablet and look at the map. Just a few more kilometers away and i'm close to my prize.

This is gonna be fun...

Murasaki Residence - 11:37 pm

"Alright Naoki... It's time."I heaved out a sigh, ringing the doorbell as I placed my hands behind my back. Waiting for Hoji to answer the door.

Everyone was asleep, I know for sure... Except Hoji..

"Who... Is it..."The door opened, revealing Hoji rubbing his eyes. He glanced at me, leaving at least 5 second before he recognize the person in front of me."o..oh Naoki. What are you doing here?"

"I just wanna talk to you... If you have a moment?"I offered, smiling at him warmly so I could control him like a dog.

"S..sure.. Come in.."Hoji said. Should I come in? I could kill Wakiya without killing Hoji... But it's better to be safe than sorry.

"No. Let's just talk outside. Come on." Hoji shrugged and followed behind me. Stupid people are always the easiest one to control.

We were walking away from his master's house. I think Hoji noticed it but he just brushed it off.

I clicked the button on my tablet so I could scan his fingerprints so I could create a fake letter to his friend, Wakiya.

"What do you wanna talk about?"Hoji asked. He seems so happy that he's talking to someone... I mean he's making more friends.

"Err... Nothing. I just..."I pulled my syringe from my pocket,"Wanna ask you about Wakiya?"

"Why do you wanna ask me about that?"Hoji raised an eyebrow, scratching his curly hair in sign of confusion.

"Just a research."I replied plainly. Choking my words as I let out a laugh.

"Well... Err..."Hoji stopped, staring at me right before his body language started to become odd and everything,"He told me... You killed Toko."

I turned to him, giving him a grin he'll never forget,"Did he?"

I skipped beside him and positioned my fingers on his nape. My syringe was resting on it already. I know he felt this cold sharp object but he just tried to think it was nothing.

"Y...you."Hoji's eyes widened, I covered his mouth before he could even scream and shout for help. I quickly inject the poison on this certain nerve, and after a split second, he collapsed on the ground.

"Mission... Accomplish."

This is boring, but I have to make it fast before someone sees me here.

I pulled out a large garbage bag from beside the sidewalk and placed his body inside.

"Shinichi. Look at how far I go. Yet you do not like what I do..." I giggled, pulling the heavy garbage bag down the sidewalk till I reach home...

Time check... 11:58 pm
