Murder Lullaby

CHAPTER 23: Motive

Bakugou's POV:

"To answer your question of why I kill. I have to tell you about my past. Imagine being one of seven people on earth without a soulmate song to sing."

Shoto's eyes widen with disbelief.

"That's right,  you're looking at a person who'll never find true love. As a child I was bullied for not humming one. So by middle school I made one up. Upon doing so. I mislead one of my classmates. We started dating until high-school. That's when I was outed when the real soulmate came to them. After being told I was a monster and I should die. Something inside me snapped. That night while my fake soulmate and her lover were asleep. I snuck into her house and stabbed them both while they were asleep.  Later the police ruled it as a murder suicide.  The thrill I felt was exhilarating.  I wanted so badly to chase that high. So I created a band for those who've yet to find love yet. While on tour. I'd kill fans who obsessed over any of us. That fake love stalking shit made me wanna puke. Waisting such emotion for sexual gain and not love made me wanna steal their souls in hopes of making a true song. So I'd let their blood drips on cloth below their bodies and use it as a music sheet for notes. I noticed that sero was on drugs. So I asked him about it. He got pissed at me and said."

"Mind your own damn business soulless reaper. Yeah I did a background check on you. Once you leave tonight. I'm going to tell the police to reopen your ex lovers case. After all once you're gone. I will be the lead singer and can get over my vocal fears by fucking the groupies."

"Full of rage. I injected him with a large dose of herowin.   Once he was asleep. I desided not to draw attention by killing him. Instead I cut out his tongue and waited a bit before calling an ambulance in hopes he would've bled out. Unfortunately he lived but he was mute from then on. I lied to the police in order to commit him. That way no one would ever believe anything he tells about the incident.  Once back from a small tour locally. The group went out drinking. That's when I heard denki sing his song. It was just like the one I was working on.  So in a drunken state of mind. I kissed him. That's when Denki back handed me. So I followed him outside when I found out about him and shinsou.  I knew I had to change my song again,  but first I had to erase Denki from the group before he told the others about me not having a song. That night while he was on his way to Shinsou's bar. I drugged him and took him to my place. Where I proceeded to try something new. With blood and screams I tried to find my song. You were just the final verse to my song, or so I thought. Once izuku's guard was down the other night. I realized he is my last few missing notes."

Shoto begins to helplessly thrash around as I approach him.

"Now time to rest in peace. Thank you for your help. I'm sure you'll live on in song."

I reach and turn up Shoto's morphine drip for pain to full blast. Making sure it was at lethal levels. As I put izuku on my back to leave. I open the door and hear the click of the wall Comunication system call end. That's when I see that shoto had pressed the call button to let them listen in.

"Oh shit."
