It was heavy raining, the dusky skies grew dark and the shady clouds rumbled from above. No bright stars hung up, otherwise, the distant moon. The street lights shone dimly on the pavement, the sound of the footsteps became louder and louder...

"AAAAAAGGHHH!!" The horrified woman shrieked, "SOMEONE SAVE ME!! I'M BEING CHASED!!"

THUD!

It was not long when she collided into the stone pavement; the chaser right on top of her. His clear, scarlet, red eyes frowned down at her - she felt the need to scream watching the terrifying, sharp blade of his chainsaw seeping into the skin of her neck. "Don't you scream nor worry... It will hurt a little bit but as soon as you die, you won't feel as much, anymore!" The man laughed, lifting the chainsaw up, prying the pull rope.

He brought the weapon down, starting at the woman's throat. "AHHHHHH!!!" Her last final scream was swallowed in deep rouge blood. Only the stabs of the blade was heard, until the killer spotted one of the windows lit up.

Dragging the chainsaw, the man quickly hauled himself away, leaving the gory mess behind him...

........................................................................................

As the morning sun climbed up the pale blue sky, Cheerful children were jumping and playing around in their playground. A teal haired kindergarten teacher, Kuroko Tetsuya, slouched down onto a wooden bench in exhaustion. "Today was really a busy day... Huh?" He was startled when one child approached him, the kid was bawling his eyes out, "Hmm, what's wrong Akihiro?" Kuroko gently placed the boy onto his lap, softly smiling.

"I'm scared, my mommy and I was listening to the news until we heard about a serial killer in Tokyo! She said that I shouldn't worry but I'm scared I'm gonna die!"

"Killer? May I ask you what's the serial killer's name?" The 20 year old asked, Akihiro immediately answered the teacher

"They call him the Red Blood Charmer..."

"The Red Blood Charmer? It sounds like someone nice not scary, anyways, news mostly lies and if there was a serial killer in here, Aomine-kun will instantly scare him away!" Kuroko chuckled, somehow, it managed to calm the boy down.

"Yeah, you're right Kuroko-sensei! I guess I'll go play with my friends then! Thank you!!" He hopped off the older's lap and rushed back.

"You're welcome! The Red Blood Charmer... The news about him is everywhere, TV, billboards, radio, everywhere... I'm starting to get worried about the kids now, they don't seem as happy like they used to all day, more like anxious," Kuroko wondered out loud, "I should go and check on Aomine-kun, if he is really trying to solve a case of a serial killer." With that, Kuroko exited the kindergarten, leaving the school to one of the other teachers.

Eventually, he reached the police station, opening the chief police officer's (Also known as Aomine Daiki's) door. "Aomine-kun?" Kuroko politely spoke, his sapphire blue eyes landed on a man, his tanned hands clenching onto the newspaper he was reading. It was just a few seconds later that Aomine began to read out what the paper said.

"Just a few hours ago, a 29 year old woman named Shiori Akagawa, had her corpse discovered by a neighbour, who claimed they heard throaty screams and sounds of a chainsaw on that night when she was killed. So as soon as they opened their bedroom lights, they witnessed a serial killer dressed in a velvet hoodie, spiky, bright, red hair and terrifying eyes, red and gold, they described him as a 20 year old male. It was then everyone in that neighbourhood began to call the mysterious murder, The Red Blood Charmer. But this wasn't the only murder he caused, other crimes of murder was shown in CCTV cameras nearby, revealing the same exact person. Who is his real name, and will the police force stop him before all people in Tokyo will be wiped out by The Red Blood Charmer..?" The officer mumbled dramatically, "They're right with everything else they said, but suspecting the murderer is 20 years old? Our age? Hah! That's absolute bullsh-"

"Aomine-kun, not now for your dirty language. Is it really true you're trying to hunt down this Red Blood Charmer?" Kuroko frowned.

"Yes! The other crimes of murder this newspaper was talking about was caused a few months ago, it was a total of over seventy murders! And this much deaths were caused by a fucking 20 year old?! That's more than how much the other two dangerous serial killers murdered combined!" Aomine coughed hastily.

"Oh god... We need to really stop this Red Blood Charmer... The children heard about him, they're frightened to the bone now." The smaller gasped.

"Sorry Tetsu but, we're trying our hardest right now trying to track him down. All we can do is hope." Aomine sighed.

"Alright, I guess I'll go out now." Kuroko gathered himself out from the office. As soon as the blue haired male stepped outside, the sinister, dark atmosphere and the icy, cold air surrounded him. "It's freezing and it's already night..? Oh well, I must return home until it gets more darker." Kuroko trembled, he walked by the isolated pavement, yet unaware of the lingering presence near him.

"Huh?" Kuroko glanced behind him, detecting the distant, shadowy figure,
"Who are you? Are you lost?"

All of the sudden, the stranger rapidly darted towards Kuroko. It immediately panicked the teacher, realising the massive, steel blade that the figure was carrying. "Don't hurt me! Get away!!" Kuroko sprinted away, "It must be The Blood Red Charmer... I should've got Aomine-kun to escort me back home!"

He panted and panted, he ran and ran... Until... Kuroko halted, heart beating faster than ever... He was trapped in an alleyway, he was frozen right at a dead end. "I'm gonna die..." whispered Kuroko, he turned back to watch the killer gaining closer and closer on him.

"Shhh... Don't cry, I just wanted to... Kill you..." The soothing but dangerous voice of the man hushed, he grasped Kuroko's arms above his head, shoving the person into the wall. The blade lifted Kuroko's chin up, to reveal his face to the Blood Red Charmer.

Threatening red and gold eyes met ocean blue. The man hesitantly pulled the blade away, targeting at Kuroko's bare neck.

"...This is it... Goodbye my lovely dear children..." The victim breathed heavily, shutting his eyes for the end.
