Now in perspective of Budo:
She just lost it, like she didn't think the same way. Does she also have a split personality? "Ayano". "What?". "Did something happen?". "It's to much of a bother to explain anything to you". Her way of talking is different... "How much longer are you going to hold me on your back, you know I have legs, right?". "You should be thanking me, if I didn't people would see your bloody clothes". "Then I'd just kill them as well". "Are you stupid, that would leave a trail of bodies that leads the police straight to your home". "So what?". "You would go to jail for life". "Fine, you can keep carrying me". "Not even thanking me...". I pretended like I was about to drop her. She didn't react at all, I expected at least some surprise or just any emotion, but she didn't do anything. "Are you tired already?". "No, you are just heavy". She didn't react, a girl would normally already be complaining or defending herself, but once again she didn't show any reaction. Did she realize I lied? "Go to my home, not yours". "Why?". "It's closer and I have to get the grocery bag home".
We reached her home in a few minutes. I tried to open the door but it was looked. "Do you have the key?". "No, she must have locked the door after I left". I knocked on the door. We heard a voice from the other side. "You are late so I'm locking you out. Find somewhere else to sleep". "Don't you want the groceries?". "Leave them at a window, I'll take them later". "Not going to happen, you let me in or I throw the bag in the garbage". As the door was opening I heard her mother muttering something to herself. Then she looked at us. "What are you doing here? And why are you holding her on your back?". "Just let us in". I said. As soon as the door was closed she got down. "Oh, I see, you killed someone... I didn't know you were so broken, I expected at least a week before you killed anyone". She didn't respond. "And have you went back to being her babysitter or are you still the interesting one?". "I just paid my debt for saving my life". "Oh, I get it now, she killed for her precious little boyfriend and then felt guilty and turned her emotions off". Ayano just went up to the bathroom, ignoring both of us. "Turned her emotions off?". "Yes, she is weakling that lived most of her life without emotions and now she feels everything to the extreme and whenever she is sad she always ends up discarding all of her emotions. I have to thank you, I've been trying to make her turn them off and you made her do it. She is weak and useless when she cares about others. Now she shouldn't have any problem killing when I ask her to". "Why are you telling me all of this". "Because you could also be useful". "I'm not going to let you manipulate me". "Come on, I'll just tell you to kill someone specific, you can still enjoy the killing and it will be safer because I will tell you when to kill so no one see's you". Oh, I get it now, she is just crazy. I ignored her and went upstairs. Witch is her room? I chose a random door and entered. I ended up in the bathroom. "You also need to wash of the blood?". Ayano was there, her body covered by a towel. She asked me as if she didn't care that I was there. "S-sure". For some reason I stuttered. "I think there is a shirt that is yours here in the house. I'll bring it now". She came back with one of my black t-shirts. "After you are finished, my room is the closest to the stairs, you can come there". A moment ago she was like what ever and now she is nice. I don't get her... After all of the blood was gone I put on my clothes and went into her room. It was plain, I don't know what I expected, but not this. She was in front of her mirror combing through her raven hair. She looked at me. "Let me comb your hair?". "What?". "It's messy, I'll brush it". I walked to her. "You're to tall, sit down on the chair". I sat down. She was combing through my wet hair, I was surprised she didn't pull, it didn't hurt even if my hair was tangled. Is this what the other Budo liked about her? She suddenly stopped and I felt her hands on my neck. What is she doing! "This is pay back for strangling me last week". She tricked me! I tried to pull her hands, but she was to strong. I was reckless, I knew I shouldn't trust her... And now I'm going to die. I felt as the last bit of oxygen was leaving my body... then she let go... what! Why did she let go?! I took a deep breath and turned around. "Why did you stop?". "You also stopped last time". "Because you stopped me". "Not true, you could have kept your hands on my neck, but you let go". "If you are trying to make me think I feel something for you it isn't working". She got closer, her face a few centimeters from my face. She looked in my eyes. Why is my heart beating so fast? She then whispered in my ear. "You are blushing". I pushed her away. "I wasn't!". "You can deny as much as you want. It's still entertaining, seeing you deny". She is playing the same game I played with her. Now she is the same as me, I have to be careful around her. "Tomorrow we have school, so I have to tell you some information. You are in class 2-2, your seat is third, window row...". She told me everything, about my friends, my club and even made me read for some classes so I would be able to answer if a teacher asked me something.
Then everything was ruined again, the door to her room opened and... Taro entered. "Why is he here!". "That's my line!". "I'm making him act normal at school". "Yesterday you were crying because of him and now you are with him!". "I just need you to tell him some stuff about his class". "Fine". He sat down next to Ayano and tried to kiss her, she didn't kiss back. "What happened?". She didn't respond. "She turned her emotions off". His face was pale. "Again!". He moved away from her. "I'm not going to kill you...". "But are you going to kill other students again". "No! Just sit down and tell him all he needs to know". So she turned her emotions off and after she met Budo? And she tried to kill?
