Against All Odds

Day 239

 Warining: This may have content that disturbs you. Please be careful.

The wedding was at noon. 

It was ten. A.M. And Kojiro had stolen the dress. 

It was on Rumika. Rumika's hair was styled the way Musashi's was. 

Kojiro was full of adrenaline. His mind was moving at lightspeed. 

"So, now what?" Asked Rumika. They were in the cave. Rumika was standing behind Kojiro. Kojiro had a knife in one hand and a rope in the other. 

"S... Sorry." Whispered Kojiro. He whipped around. His knife hand moved. And with a flick of his wrist, the knife sunk into Rumika's stomach.  

--- 

Technically it caught her in the intestine. Whatever the case, she was disabled. She wouldn't be moving for awhile. 

"Thanks for this, Rumika. You have helped me remove a burden in my life. You. And now you'll help lift another. He grabbed a cardboard sign off the cave floor. He had made it yesterday. He had stolen the cardboard and some black paint from the clinic. 

He dragged Rumika outside to a tree by the clinic. Right now everyone was inside, probably trying to find the dress. 

Kojiro was trying to hang someone. 

--- 

Ten minutes later Kojiro was out in the woods with Musashi, trying to explain...everything. 

"I- I- I want to say that- I- I'm sorry. I guess I was just, um, jealous." Kojiro looked down at his feet. Tears were running down his face. 

"Kojiro, it's alright. I- I have something-" 

"You don't understand!" Yelled Kojiro. Musashi looked at him, confused. 

"Come with me." Kojiro whispered. "Come see the crimes I committed. Come see. COME SEE WHAT I DID TO HER!" Yelled Kojiro. Then he broke down sobbing. 

--- 

Musashi stared. 

Rumika was hanging from a tree branch. All the wedding guest and the doctor were frantically searching for life signs. In a lifeless body. 

The lifeless body that had the cardboard sign taped to it. The one that read: Dead Against All Odds.

Kojiro couldn't look at his own work. He didn't fully realise what he did until he saw the girl hanging from a tree with a hole in her stomach that was somehow still bleeding everywhere. The girl with her eyes wide open even thought they were dead and her bloated face that was purple because it had no air. 

It was to much. 

First he puked right next to Musashi. Then he ran from the brush and back, back to his cave. 

He grabbed a knife. 

He wasn't going to see what Musashi did and he wouldn't hear what she had to say ever again. Because he was going to hell and she was going to heaven. 

He inhaled. Held the knife to his heart. Exhaled. 

He felt really, really dizzy. He couldn't hold the knife. 

It was all to much, much to much... 

Everything went dark. 

And Musashi ran into the cave.
