Dark Star: Kyouryoku

Chapter 8 - So... this is me

Cracks grew wider and wider, seeming as if a severe earthquake had run through it. Pieces started to fall.

-Click clack

against the floor. Each piece like smashed glass. Most of the mask has fallen apart, and the man behind it took off the last piece while getting up and removing his hoodie, revealing a smile like no other with green eyes and black hair.

"There is no point in this either; you can already figure out who I am from the very distinct red hair."

Genjy starts to take off his mask, showcasing a completely emotionless face and red eyes.

"HAHAHAHA, this is what I wanted to see! Come on-"

"CLOSE YOUR DAMN MOUTH!"

"UGH UGH AGh HAHAHA!"

Psychotic laughs came from Cyanide as a line of red flowed from his nose and mouth as he was pushed to the wall and hit with a barrage of knees passing from his stomach to his face.

"Come on, is that all your friendship adds up to...!?"

Genjy pauses as if in contemplation upon hearing these words, but a feeling of dread fills his heart before he answers:

"Don't even call us friends!"

"Huh??"

Cyanide's smile dissipates while looking at Genjy's blank face that was turned toward the near-conscious Sweet, who, for some reason, was smiling with his head towards them.

"I couldn't feel anything, so don't say I am his friend. I wish I didn't have to know; maybe I could've kept pondering it. No matter how hard I try, I really am a devil."

"WH-..."

Cyanide looked astounded, eyes wide with an unconsciously open mouth, as he looked at his luminescent blood-red eyes. Scary.

"In the end, I'm left here with you, and I'm going to make sure I get it back from you."

Frozen in fear was Cyanide as he was held down and Genjy's leg curled back and, a second later, was rocketing towards him. He closes his eyes and looks down.

Smack!

Right to the face. Yet Cyanide's head didn't even move. His eyes opened to be met with near-unconscious eyes that were getting closer to him.

"So you were finally affected. Great timing too; that wasn't gonna be fun."

He kicks Genjy, who was about to fall on him, on his back and starts walking towards one of his daggers that dropped.

"You lasted longer than I thought; you were using up more oxygen than normal, so I thought you would have fallen before it got that bad, but you are quite dangerous indeed, Soul."

He grabs one of his daggers and walks back to Genjy.

"Well, even now you aren't making this too much fun; you haven't started to cough up blood yet, and you didn't even struggle that much."

He kneels down, preparing his knife to go right through Genjy's heart.

"Ah yes, of course you deserve as much. Micah Micah Mica-"

"Are *huff* they *Puff* Dead *Huff*!?"

The tired pig, Damian, came inside asking such questions, and Cyanide didn't seem pleased.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"

Cyanide roars at him.

"What do yo-"

"I NEEDED YOU TO KEEP THE GAS AND THEM FROM ESCAPING UNTIL I WAS DONE! AHK FORGET IT, I JUST HAVE TO FINISH HIM!"

"Alright!"
