it was black ◎ psycho pass

~Chapter 11~

Thanks for reading! <3

--------

After a few minutes of intense leaning against the wall, eyelids started to droop and I lost control of my limbs. Coincidently that meant falling down into the abyss... Which was the floor.

Ow-! Can you ask next time we go to the hospital if they can tone it down a little?? I'm being drugged too here!

I hit the floor painfully loud and my vision shuttered, but I stayed conscious.

~3RD PERSON~

There was silence for a while, apart from the hurried discussions between a few of the MWPSB- then a loud thump, which made them all jump.

"What was that?" Akane exclaimed, waiting a millisecond before running off towards the source of the noise. Inspector Ginoza stopped her almost immediately, hand nimbly pushing up his glasses.

"Akane- don't go running off!" He commanded, screeching Akane to a halt.

"Sorry!" She bowed, staring blankly at the door.

"We don't know what's going on yet. Whatever it was it is no importance to us! We are here to investigate who tried to hack into our system, those files were the top secret files about the new killer loose!" Ginoza said, giving Akane a cold glance.

Kogami's voice was then heard.  "It might be related to the investigation."

"Fine. Akane, Kagari and Masaoka go investigate. Kogami, stay here." Ginoza said whilst looking around. He wasn't going to let Kogami wander off by himself after their argument this morning.

"Kunizuka's ill isn't she?" Akane asked, answered by a nod from them all. Akane, Kagari and Masaoka jogged to the door and jumped around it, dominators held high.

"There's no one here!" Kagari said, taking a step forward.

A muffled protest sent Kagari leaping backwards on one foot. After the initial shock subsided he looked down, and saw her.

"Look what we have here! It's the cute girl from before!" He sniggered, beckoning the rest of them over.

"Is she asleep?" Akane spoke, kneeling down and shaking Zara a little.

"She knocked herself out! What a strange girl!" Masaoka cackled softly. Kogami and Ginoza walked around the door, seeing her sprawled on the floor.

"This was it? Call for the drones, they'll take care of her." Ginoza swatted it away. Akane nodded and opened her Holo watch, but a hand stopped her.

~1ST PERSON~

My hands groped thin air almost instantly, thankfully grabbing somebodies arm. Akane's gasp told me it was her and luckily not anybody else. Maybe she would listen. I slowly brought myself standing.

"I'm awake! Awake!" I triumphantly called out, letting go of Akane's hand. She fell back as the whole police force stood there in in surprise and confusion.

The calming drug also has some unpleasant side effects, one being me getting a bit happy-go-lucky. It was like my personal version of Melanide, not like I wanted one. It sorta meant I would act hyper and that was disturbing to everyone else.

Wow~! This~! Is~! Great~!

"Awake??" Kagari whimpered. He was gripping onto Masaoka's jacket for support, hiding behind his burly frame.

"Yep..! I'm awake!" I shouted, drunkenly stumbling towards them with a grin plastered on my face. Running through haze wasn't that easy. Suddenly I stepped on a shoe lace and fell forward, being caught by Kogami.

"Whoops." My lips muttered unenthusiastically. Kogami looked at me with an emotionless but amused look. As he quickly propped me up, I giggled and walked to Akane.

"Woah~ Look at those skills~!"

thOSE SKILLS!

"What?"

"The MWPSB's skills are great~! So you're great~!"

Ah yEAH

"Is she.. alright?"

"I think she's reacting from the Melanide too late.." Masaoka cursed under his breath.

"You gave her Melanide?!" Akane shouted, jolting me away. "Isn't that supposed to be really dangerous?!"

"In high quantities yes, but I only gave her a little in that biscuit to make her tell the truth!" He laughed nervously.

"It wasn't your... cookie that ... made me go happy-go-lucky!" I breathed, running out of energy. "Your cookie.. Only has... 4% Melanide!"

Tell eM'

"What?! How can you tell the concentration?!"

"I got them skills~"

"Happy-go-lucky.." Kagari giggled.

I slumped against the wall and grinned at Masaoka, checking my watch. Trying to look cool I guess, but I couldn't see whatever it was saying- my vision was blurry and cross-eyed.

"I can take 58%!!"

"58%?!" Everyone shouted in unison.

I nodded and skipped up to them again, patting them all on the shoulders. "What you guys's names?!" I grabbed Kagari to his surprise, shaking his wrists. Kagari grabbed mine and put them down.

"Kagari!" He smiled,
putting his hands in his pockets. Ignoring the slight blush on my cheeks, I moved on. Once I had learned all their names, I was back to my 'cool' pose.

"Akane. Kogami. Masaoka. Ginoza. KAGAREH!" My head banged against the wall.

Why do that? It'll hurt thO

Someone restrained me, and I glanced up at Inspector Kogami.

"You'll hurt yourself." He sighed. I shook him off and grabbed a nearby chair.

Where did we get that from?? Looks cool!

Everyone backed off and had their hands at their dominators. I gazed innocently at them all and blinked.

"Put the chair down, Zara." Akane spoke slowly, like that would make a difference. I glanced at Akane's pleading face, and slowly put the chair down.

"I better be going- bye bye!" I waved at their confused faces and started to wobble away, weariness getting stronger.

"Just out of curiosity.." Kagari's voice sounded behind me, turning something on with a beep.

"Crime Coefficient is 260. Dominator set to paralyse. Aim carefully and shoot your target."

Wait whAT

Wait a minute!

"Aw." I whispered at the blue orb flying towards me.
