Insanity (Mario)

Chapter 31

"Kaira, must you always cause such a ruckus?" Pauline sighed. "Honestly, you should've just killed him, it would've been easier to deal with."

Ryan had been moved to emergency care, taken care of by the one and only Wendy Koopa. He would be alright, most likely.

"Mario's favorite person told me not to," Kaira scowled. "I would've loved to kill them, but I wasn't going to risk Mario's rage for disobeying his pet's orders."

"True," Pauline growled. "He does like her quite a bit. I suppose that's smart on your behalf."

"Shut up, don't act like you have total control over me," Kaira sneered. "Mario would let me kill you easily."

"I doubt it," Pauline smirked. "Mario would never let you. He'd punish you after."

"No, he wouldn't," Kaira laughed. "You and I both know that. He can't afford to injure the main income of his money."

"You're not the only person at this facility," Pauline hissed. "We can function without you. The fans will give just as much money if you're gone."

"Yeah, okay," Kaira scoffed. "You mean that they're going to be paying when a member of Bloody Hell has left? Yes, probably. As much, definitely not. And, if I leave this world," Kaira smirked. "Don't you realize Saiko would lose hope? Then where's your Bloody Hell... A.k.a your money?"

"Just shut up and get out of here," Pauline snapped. "I'll tell you when Ryan gets out."

"I'd prefer it if you don't tell me," Kaira called over her shoulder as she walked out. "Tell Daisy instead."

<><><>

Poor Daisy sat on her bed, wondering whether or not she had accidentally killed someone.

She didn't know if Ryan was okay or not. Was he going to die? It was going to be all her fault if he did- he'd been bleeding for a while before Luigi noticed.

He'd be dead if Luigi didn't come over, Daisy realized. Lovely.

"Don't worry so much," She said out loud, trying to convince herself. "It'll be okay."

Yeah, you know, you didn't just kill him.

"I didn't kill him!"

Almost.

"Shut up self!"

"Wow, stress is really getting to you, isn't it?" Saiko chirped as she barged in. Daisy cringed as she once again noticed that no one seemed to like knocking, apparently. Then again, why bother knocking when you have the keys to get in anyway?

"Gah! Geez, Saiko.." Daisy mumbled. "Don't scare me like that."

"Oh! Sorry!" Saiko shrugged. "Saiko didn't realize Daisy was so jumpy."

"I'm not jumpy, i just like my privacy," Daisy snapped.

"Sorry," Saiko's mood dropped, the smile falling from her face instantly. "Saiko usually just heads right in. No one really cares."

Daisy felt bad almost immediately as she saw the normally cheerful girl's personality die off.

"No, I should be the one apologizing," Daisy argued. "I'm the one who told you off. Sorry. I'm just stressed."

"Oh," The grin returned to Saiko's face. "Okay. Well, Saiko wants to ease Daisy's worries, so Ryan is fine. He's tied down right now so he doesn't injure anyone!"

"Yes, that sounds like him," Daisy sighed in relief. "What about the other two?"

"In our room," Saiko explained. "It's better to not tell the wardens if they're the cause of this!"

"Oh, that makes sense," Daisy nodded. "Wait, but why would the wardens be the cause?"

"Cause they like to mess with us," Saiko shrugged. "Happens all the time!"

"Wow..." Daisy shook her head. "This facility is messed up."

"You just learned that now, huh?" Saiko giggled. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it!"

Get used to it? Daisy thought. I don't know if I want to do that. Escape will always be on my mind....

Well, everyone here is content at this crazy facility. Maybe it isn't so bad if I do, too...

No! What are you thinking!? Your sanity is something not many others have, you have to keep it!

"Well, that might take a while," Daisy looked away. "Aren't... You always scared of Satsuki? The constant threat of her killing you?"

"Why should Saiko be?" Saiko laughed. "Saiko lives for the thrill!"

"Oh... I guess that makes sense," Daisy said. "But... She's capable of beating you and Kaira combined. Doesn't that make you nervous?"

"Should it?" Saiko shrugged, not going into further detail. Daisy sensed Saiko didn't want to talk about it, but she wanted to know why Saiko was so hesitant.

"Uh, probably," Daisy pressed. "Why doesn't it?"

"Saiko doesn't need to fear Satsuki, Satsuki normally leaves Saiko alone," Saiko shrugged. "It's only when Saiko interferes with Satsuki's killings that Saiko gets hurt. Satsuki and Saiko are friends!"

"How can you be friends with a mass murderer?" Daisy asked, shuddering. She hated thinking about what that would be like.

"Hypocrite!" Saiko chirped. "Daisy, you're also friends with mass murderers, so I'm not sure you should be talking!"

Before Daisy could answer, the door barged open. A platinum blonde stood, her crown in her hand. Daisy quickly looked at the bloodstains on the bottom of Rosalina's dress.

Fresh blood.

"Hi, Daisy," Rosalina smirked, before raising her crown and hurling it at Daisy's face.

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed the chapter.

What's wrong with Saiko?

Thanks for reading.
