Kobayashi Yui’s Note

Welcome to Sakurazaka.

That sentence sounds really awful doesn't it? Looks friendly, indeed. It's our way of welcoming arrivals politely. This place is a heaven, only certain people from certain circles can be here. Anyone wearing a white uniform with the Sakurazaka academy logo will be highly respected.

However, if you are brave enough to go any further, you will see hell. Closed from the outside world. That is not touched by adults.

Sometimes if you see things from only one side, it will cause misunderstanding. Like the thing with us. We only carry out our duties as white people. Or rather we are a balancer. At this moment the six pillars began to collapse. And the black bracing their fangs underground. Will we end up regretting our position here? We don't even know that answer.

"Bastard..."

Risa said in an angry tone. Her eyes were sharp, her ears red with anger. How could she not be angry when her beloved car was painted with Pilox. Especially the part that made Risa almost explode was the depraved killer writing.

She turned to Karin, not letting go of her terrifying angry gaze. It made Karin shudder in horror, especially when Risa pulled her collar very tightly. Strong enough that she is pulled forward.

"You are the one around here, you should know who did this." Said Risa in a low voice. She didn't care about the looks of students passing in the parking lot whispering about the red pilox writing on her car.

"Watch your mouth! I just parked my bike and when I saw your car it was already like this." Karin tried to release Risa's grip on her collar with all of her strength, she even pushed Risa's chest away. But it made Risa even stronger to pull her collar. “There are many witnesses here, Watanabe! If you don't believe it, just ask!"

Risa give in. She loosened her grip on Karin's shirt, until She finally let her go completely. She looked at the car once again, stroking every word on the body of her white R8. The stroke in red pilox was so big, it covered the side of the car.

A white hummer darted into the parking lot. The car stopped beside Risa's car. The windshield was lowered, revealing the driver and the person sitting beside the driver's seat. Yuuka certainly dropped her eyes on Risa's car which is surprising, especially the graffiti on the body of the car.

“Damn it. What the hell? " Yuuka stepped outside, until she slammed her car door. She stood in the middle of Karin and Risa — watching Karin tidying her slightly messy shirt.

Kobayashi also came out after a while. She took off the earphones she was wearing and put them in her pocket. "They're not playing, huh?" She said. She looked around, some students seemed curious about what was happening. Some of the others just passed by, glancing at them.

Risa then rubbed her face roughly. She took the cell phone from her pocket, opened the contact list and made a call to someone. From what Yuuka had heard, She asked someone to tow her car to take her to the garage.

"Whoever did this, they've been looking for trouble with the wrong people." Risa hung up the phone. Then turned to Karin, "watch yourself." She gave Yui a quick glance, it was unreasonable it's just that her eyes were directly on the girl.

Karin returned her gaze with a look of hatred as Risa walked past her, she nudged Karin with her shoulder until she shifted slightly to the side. There were only three of them left now, waiting in the parking lot. Their mind is the same, which is to question who has done this. 

“I thought it was resolved. Apparently it was not them, huh." Yuuka said softly. "Is there another group here now?"

“That's impossible, Yuuka. They couldn’t just know the secret, especially if only from the video. It may just be a bluff, to see our reaction."

“Risa is giving too much reaction. Damn, that dumbass..” Yuuka gritted her teeth. She muttered incoherently. Looking at Karin, the girl realized the girl came alone, She asked. "Where is Seki?"

"She's with Hono." Karin replied briefly. "That idiot forced her way over here with a crutch."

Knowing that, Yuuka's face softened. Meanwhile Yui let out a sigh of relief. Actually, she was worried because by doing so, Hono would become a little weaker. She prefers if Hono rest at home until her bones are connected normally again. There was a heavy sound coming from the gate, a towtruck was waiting to be allowed in by the security guard.

As the truck approached, one of the officers approached the three girls. Asking where the car owner is. Because Risa was not there, Yuuka immediately invited the officer to bring Risa's car to the garage.

They immediately left the parking lot to their respective classes. Meanwhile from other places, in the area of a third class building. Someone is smiling slyly, the girl's hand is holding the cellphone and it seems that she is talking to someone.

"Just as we expected."

----

Yui chooses to separate from her friends, placing herself in a private palace which she calls the music room. Along with her brown acoustic, but she's not there to strum her guitar or hum to her own melody. She went there to be alone, playing the notes of the piano keys.

For now, she wanted to be alone. Calms herself down.

She is standing next to the grand piano. All the seats surround it in a semicircle. The room was large enough to store several other musical instruments. On the wall, there are portraits of world famous composers, mounted around the wall. Meanwhile, right above Yui's head, there is the Sakurazaka school logo on the wall. The logo was made of iron, and always glowed silver when the light hit it.

Too quiet.

She couldn't hear any sound from outside. Only the sound of the cooler was heard and the sound of knocking as her heels touched the floor. Her hand grabbed the sheet music, then threw it on the floor. The girl then sat gracefully on the chair, pushing her hair covering her face. Yui flinched, her eyes suddenly blurred. This was something she hated the most, that she really didn't like about herself — apart from loving people who didn't love her. Her head ached, like something had been hammered into her skull.

But Yui didn't care about it. While grimacing in pain, her fingers played the piano skillfully. Every movement pressed the keys almost like a dance, very agile and gentle. The tone she played was random, a new instrument but the melody sounded soft.

"You devil."

"Why did you let them kill us."

Yui shook her head slowly. Her head ached more and more, as did her ears which felt hot from within.

"Why did you let us die."

"No... no..." Yui muttered. The more voices appeared, the more painful she felt. The melody she played got coarser while the tempo getting faster.

"All of you must die."

"Come with us to hell, Yui .."

Yui groaned even more, she closed her eyes. Her fingers pressed the piano keys harder and faster. "SHUT UP!" She shouted, her voice obscured by her increasingly wild melody. The voices she heard grew louder, more and more. Like the sound of thousands cramming into her ears.

Feelings of anger, sadness, disappointment. What she had felt all this time, the burden she was holding as a member of The Elites. Everything she spilled into her . She is a pianist, and whoever is there who whisper to her is an audience. Whoever they are, it seemed like they enjoying Yui's suffering immensely.

Another voice sounded loud in her ear. Covering up other sounds that were previously heard.

"She doesn't love you, Yui. She never will. As well as Risa, she only showed falsehood. No, everyone is like that. "

"Nobody wants you alive."

Warm liquid poured out of her ears. Yui did not know the red blood soaked her ears, flowing down her neck. She still plays the piano with increasingly wild finger movements. Couldn't stop, neither could the loud voices in her ears — could never stop.

"Kill yourself."

"GO TO HELL!!"

"AAAAAAAAAA," Yui stopped her game, with a desperate cry. The pain in her head hurt her so much, as She clutched her ear — trying to protect herself from the swift whispers that were bothering her, She could feel something wet and sticky sticking to her finger. Blood..? Yui widened her eyes. Staring at her bloody palm.

The crazy whisper still didn't stop. Something told her to kill herself, an order so strong as Yui restrained herself from doing it. Strugglingly, She stood up, but she became lightheaded again. Her balance was broken so she had to hold on to the table so she wouldn't fall.

"Urgh.." She groaning in pain. This time she could feel her nose bleeding as well. Many times she cursing in her heart. Cursed her weakness that couldn't control herself to the point of tormenting her half to death.

From her blurry eyes, Yui could see a vase of flowers made of thick transparent glass. With all her strength she rests on her left hand, while her right hand takes the vase. Her consciousness began to faint and at that moment she grasped the glass vase very firmly. So strong that the glass vase broke, tearing off her palm.

Blood flowed profusely, the white floor was inundated by drops of blood. It was a terrifying sight for anyone to enter and see. There was only her in the room, but it was clear in Yui's ears the sound of a loud laughter muttering.

“I DO WHAT I SUPPOSED TO DO!" Yui shouted again. Tears started rolling down her eyes but she didn't feel sad. Those are tears of suffering and pain. Her mouth began to chatter, saying things she wasn't really aware of.

"This is your fault, really your fault. You're a murderer."

"Not. This is not my fault. I am not doing anything."

She raised her right hand. Shards of glass were still stuck there, along with the blood that didn't stop flowing. It was terrible, seeing her palms slit open like that. At least it brought her back to her senses so that something else in her couldn't get over it. The voice grew louder and louder. It's getting louder. Yui's ears were no longer able, she cried out in pain.

Just as her head looked like it was about to explode, the door to the music room was pushed hastily. And at that moment all the noise stopped.

"No... YUI!"

Risa ran as fast as the wind. Frightened when she saw Yui curled up beside the grand piano, blood on her ears and nose. She was more and more scared when She hugged Yui, the girl grimaced in pain when their hands accidentally touched. Yui's palm was torn, and there were even shards of glass in the wound.

Not enough time to ask what happened. For Risa, Yui is the most precious in her life. For that, She is willing to do anything. She took off her tie, wrapped Yui's palms with it to stop the bleeding. She doesn't know what she's doing is right or not. But She couldn't bear to see Yui's hands like that.

"Hold on." Risa whispered. She carried Yui out of the music room and ran to the clinic. She yelled at anyone who got in her way, and the students who passed immediately made way for them. Seeing the blood droplets on the floor, suddenly made some of them scream in horror.

"Gosh, what happened?" Koike asked as Risa dashed past those who were just about to head to the library.

Akane saw Risa's back who was running away. Her gaze dropped to the floor, She shuddered. "Looks like a bad thing." Her friends now shivered with horror. Blood. Yuuka and Karin running past them a few seconds after Risa, at that moment Akane's legs were reflexively following them.

Risa hit the clinic door, making anyone who was inside jumped up in surprise. Their shock turned to panic when Risa put Yui on one of the beds. A duty officer immediately took the first action for Yui.

"Anyone, call an ambulance. Ah no no, its taking too long." Risa snapped. It made one of the students in charge of clinic caregiver pick up her phone with trembling hesitation. Yui was fully conscious, but it still made Risa and the clinic staff panic.

The pounding of footsteps from the corridor could be heard from inside the clinic, followed by the sound of doors opening. Yuuka and Karin entered with panicked expressions. When she saw Yuuka's face, Risa could feel her heart heating up. Angry.

She released her grip from Yui's hand and walked over to Yuuka who was about to approach them. Yuuka herself, was actually a little horrified by Risa's gaze. A look that made her hesitate to go any further, but for Yui She had to be brave.

Risa clenched her hands. She couldn't wait to hit Yuuka in the face for her negligence now. As She thought, Yuuka wouldn't be able to take good care of Yui anyway. She still wondered why Yui still wanted to maintain their relationship.

“Damn, Sugai! Where have you been!" Risa pulled Yuuka's shirt. Then threw a powerful punch at Yuuka's jaw, it made everyone gathered there shocked, including Akane. Yuuka looking down holding her jaw that ached, but Risa wasn't done yet.

Risa wants to beat Yuuka again, but Karin blocks them. She understood that Akane had followed her here so she let Akane tackle Yuuka. Keeping Yuuka away from Risa was a difficult decision, because it only made Risa even more angry.

“That won't help. By beating Yuuka, Yui will run out of time. " Karin said, she tried her best to distract Risa.

Risa stared at Karin with a fiery gaze. But in the end she relented. She stepped forward, grabbed Yuuka's hand and helped her up. "Take your car keys, we go to the hospital."

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­----

"DID?"

"Yes. She has another personality in her. How do I call it? Like there is another person inside, the two souls in one body that had different personalities. And that other part of hers can come out at any time. The family only became aware of the strange symptoms about a year ago. And all of this time she's been trying hard to control it. She wanted to make it her own strength. As we know, people with multiple personalities can turn out to be very dangerous."

Akane was pensive at Yuuka's explanation. Yes, She went with The Elites to the hospital. Because Karin pulled her into the car after helping them pave the way for The Elites. The four of them were waiting in the hospital corridor, waiting for the doctor and waiting for Yui's father to arrive in a few minutes.

At least they were able to breathe calmly because Yui had been handled well. They saw for themselves how the doctor pulled the broken glass from her palm and that was what made the four of them agree to wait outside because they were not strong enough to see.

Karin approached them, passing Risa who was standing leaning against the wall. She put the ice pack on Yuuka's swollen jaw, the girl smilingly held the ice pack.

“It's been a long time since she lost control like that. Why did she separate from us when she felt the symptoms? " Said Karin. She sat beside Yuuka.

"If Yuuka weren't stupid and followed her, she wouldn't hurt herself!" Risa replied. Her tone was intimidating. Even so, Akane could catch the sadness in the look in her eyes.

"How about you, Risa? Did you do better? "

“At least I found her and took her to the clinic! If not, she could die in the music room, damn it. After all, she is her fiancé, she should take full responsibility for Yui. Really useless."

Yuuka was fall silent. Risa is right, this is all my fault.

She felt a touch on her arm, moved gently stroking her arm. When She turned her head, her eyes met Akane's brown eyes. She sighed heavily, her heart beating a little faster but Yuuka chose to pretend she didn't care.

“Seki asked what happened. Is it better to ask them here?" asked Karin. She showed Yuuka the smartphone screen.

Yuuka shook her head. "No need. Let them both stay at school. "

Risa saw the interaction of the two of them. It made her anger rise a little, even though She had managed to control it a while ago. She didn't like how Yuuka was being too kind to other girls, which of course hurt Yui's heart. She didn't mind Akane because she actually considered Akane as a person who wasn't threatening. Since Akane saved her from seniors and lent her a blazer.

"SUGAI YUUKA!"

A thunderous sound could be heard followed by fast footsteps. Mr. Kobayashi came to them — came to Yuuka. She angrily pulled the girl to her feet, “What did you do to my daughter, Sugai? Why could She be like this! Didn't I ask you to take good care of her? "

Yuuka couldn't answer, her mouth refused to open. Mr. Kobayashi waved her hand, slapping Yuuka hard. She staggered to the side. The hot and throbbing feeling crept up her cheeks. Everything happened so fast, Karin and Akane didn't have time to hold Mr. Kobayashi. Meanwhile Risa was only half way through.

"We're not done yet, Sugai. Brace yourself." Mr. Kobayashi threatens her, then goes inside leaving the four of them still unable to believe what happened.

"Are you okay..?" Risa asked in a trembling voice. Even though she still angry with Yuuka, she still felt sorry for her when she was slapped.

Yuuka smiled. She even laughed a little when she answered. "I'm fine."

Akane stared in disbelief. Seeing Yuuka being slapped by another person, the father of her fiancé. How could she still stand up and say she was okay.

Yuuka looked at Risa with a deep gaze but She didn't say anything, but just stared at her. Made the short haired girl raise her eyebrows and touch Yuuka's shoulder. Usually when Yuuka has been quiet and starts communicating through eye contact, only Risa and Yui can understand.

But this time is different. Risa couldn't translate Yuuka's gaze at all.

What does this girl wanted to say?
