Chapter Twenty One

A morning stroll was what Yuri needed, so she went out also volunteering to walk her neighbor's dog. It was just something extra that she wanted to do. Strolling down the street she usually take when working she noticed Natsuki holding Maki's hand. 

"Good morning." Yuri greeted her from a distance. 

"It's you again. What a coincidence. Well, good morning." She didn't look surprised at all, her eyes gazed down at the dog. "I didn't know you have a pet." 

"Oh no, that's my neighbor's dog. His owners were too busy to walk it around the area so I'm just doing them a favor." Yuri smiled looking down at Maki. "And I'm assuming you two are going shopping?"

Natsuki sigh in frustration. "I'm actually taking her to the police station so we can find her parents. She has been with us long enough." 

After hearing that Maki ran to hug Yuri, she hides behind her. Natsuki was aggravated by the girl's action, she grab her arm and harshly pulled her away from Yuri. Maki began weeping as she kept her grip on Yuri. 

"It's fine." Yuri breaks Natsuki away from the girl. "If she doesn't want to go then maybe you shouldn't. She... Can stay with me." 

"My mom and dad..." Both of their attention turns to Maki. "My mom and dad had a fight yesterday. I'm afraid they might not be able to love each other. I thought that finding my parents was going to be the best thing, but I was wrong." 

"Yesterday?" Natsuki blinked. "But you were in Yasuki's house all day. How do you know your parents are fighting?" 

Maki shook her head. "My parents are--" 

In that instant Yuri slits the girl's throat. Natsuki stood there with her eyes wide open, watching the girl's blood gushing out uncontrollably. Yuri was covered in blood, her dull eyes gazed at Natsuki's frightened expression. 

She became so startled that her body wouldn't move an inch."W-what have you done?" Her voice shakes, she was so frightened that she thought Yuri might do the same thing to her. 

"I had to get rid of her. That was my priority after finding out what the girl's goal is. If you tell anybody about this I will have to kill you next." Yuri puts away the knife and carried the dead body. "Go on now, before I have second thoughts." 

Natsuki's quivering legs lost all energy as she slowly sits on the ground. Her racing heart increased her breathing pace. Yuri takes the barking dog too and disappeared into a alley. Then she stands up and make her way back to Yasuki's house. 

I have to tell him.

Then she halt in front of a street lamp. Natsuki gazed at her bloody clothes, she couldn't just approach him and tell him. The voice that imitate from Yuri's mouth wasn't hers, like it was like she was speaking for someone else. It all felt so confusing for her. 

"What happened?" Monika asked as she happened to meet her in the street. 

She couldn't bring out the courage to speak, her eyes burst in tears just thinking about it. Her chest aches, witnessing the death of a little innocent girl, the dead eyes Yuri gave her. Monika tries to comfort her by hugging her tightly. 

"Something tells me you saw someone died in front of you." She pats her head. 

Natsuki nods, still unable to speak to her. Monika let her cry a little more before asking any further questions. 

"Let's get you home and change your clothes. Then we can talk about what you saw, maybe we can even report it to the police." Monika smiled. 

Saying that Natsuki nodded. They went back to Yasuki's house and somehow he wasn't home at the moment. Fortunately Natsuki has the house key so entering in wasn't a problem. Monika helped her undress and got the bath ready. As she does so she noticed that there were blood stains on her clothes too.
