Purple Eyes - An Oumasai Fanfiction (ON HOLD)

~Chapter 4: Love Is Like A Cactus. It Hurts to Have It and It Never Dies~

(Just gonna let ya all know. There are no cactuses in this story. The title is a lie. )

Yes, it was true.

Iruma-san was in front of us, dead

And there was nothing they could do to escape this reality.

Tsumugi gave a gloomy look, Shuichi stared despaired as he saw blood dripping from the body and Kaede collapsed on the ground, her eyes completely focused on Iruma. "Iruma... please no..." Kaede whispered to herself. Everyone was in despair, discounting Ouma since he technically is still a bit in despair.

"Sweet despair..." Ouma whispered quietly "Isn't it just wonderful...?" He said with a smile, drooling slightly. Kaede slowly turned to Ouma, anger in her eyes "Are you getting some sick joy out of this...? One of your goddamn friends just DIED! AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL NOW?!" Kaede said harshly to which Ouma's grin lowered and pink eyes shined a bit brighter "Jeez... I said I was gonna protect you because of Shuichi, not do that friendship crap of yours. You don't know how many voices in my head want you dead right now." he said coldly. He knew that if he said he was their buddy, it would sound like too much of a stretch. For Shuichi, at least he had a reason.

"Okay, let's not argue right now. That's not the most important thing. What matters now is surviving the night and trying to find Kaito and Maki." Tsumugi said taking Iruma's bag off of a tree branch to which she looked at Ouma "I don't trust you so each of us takes turns looking out if you're scheming anything. I'll patrol you for a couple of hours and then it'll be Shuichi's turn" Tsumugi said. Ouma groaned in annoyance "Wow, way to be cautious there. But fine, I wouldn't trust a liar like me either~" Ouma hummed, leading us back to the green dome, he made for us. We all went inside.

Tsumugi layed out our three blankets on the ground. Shuichi laid on his blanket. Tsumugi let Ouma grab hers for now and Kaede laid on her blanket, clutching Iruma's blanket tightly in her arms. Her lover's death really took a toll on her mental state. Let's just hope we won't have to see a horrid sight like that to any more of our friends.

And so each of us fell asleep while Tsumugi kept an eye on Ouma.

Somewhere in the other part of the forest, Maki awoke to a small grass movement. She jumped to her feet, quickly taking out her knife. With her talent as a now retired assassin, she knew how to handle this. Close by a girl with uneven hair in a nurse outfit. It was Mikan Tsumiki, one of her upperclassmen, known for her shyness and inappropriate poses. "Why isn't it Maki? Is our little Miss Assassin lost in the woods~?" she asked drooling. Maki looked at her with utter disgust. "Do you wanna die?" Maki said voice cold and emotionless to which Mikan plainly laughed "Really? Is that the best threat you can come up with? Call me when you find something creative you murdering sack of emo bullshit." she said mockingly, making Maki mad "What is that? You look like you need to calm down a bit...I think it's time for you..." she said pulling out 6 dirty syringes with a pink liquid inside them, which Maki could only assume was poison.

"TO TAKE A SHOT!"

Mikan charged at Maki, but Maki was stronger she easily pushed her away, but that didn't mean Mikan gave up. She attempted to anger Maki once again "Ouch, I'm so hurt, I think I'm gonna die! What do you think your friends will think if they see you in my blood, sweetie? They're gonna lose trust in you because you promised not to kill anymore. And your beloved Kaito? What will he think of that?" Mikan said teasingly. "I wasn't gonna hurt you and you know it. I was gonna knock you out, and I think I should do that now." Mikan giggled "I have a blood bag ready to pop on you, come closer and you'll get your face smudged in your sweet friend's blood~" Mikan stood up pulling out a blood bag. Confident she can avoid the bag, Maki sprinted charging at Mikan who dodged as Maki stabbed accidentally someone else.
