Ko's Third Person P.O.V.

"I killed him."

His mind went blank.

He couldn't think anymore.

Hajime... had... died?

The one he promised to protect was taken away from him that fast?

It was all Ko's fault. He was the one who had let the brunet down. In doing so, Hajime had lost his life.

Tears the size of pearls slid down Ko's pale cheek. His hand gingerly touched them, his finger pads wet with the salty tears.

When had he started crying? Why did he start crying?

A sudden realization snapped into place.
He was CRYING.

If Hajime had truly died, Ko wouldn't have been able to cry or feel any emotions.


It was all because he did THAT.

When Ko had done the forbidden action, his life was now in Hajime's hands, which means that if the brunet died, then Ko would have died too.

But he wasn't a corpse yet.

This proves that Hajime was still alive. The realization dawned on him. However, there was always the possibility that it may even be too late to save Hajime now since Ko had been unconscious for nearly a week.

The albino dismissed the thought. He wouldn't let those thoughts into his mind. He had to stay positive.

If Hajime was really alive and well, then Ko still had some time before he could go and save him.

The problem was, where did Hajime go? What had Mikan done with him?

The gears in his brain were turning, piecing the information together. He had failed to notice that Mikan was advancing towards him, pushing him to the bed.

The back of Ko's knees hit the front edge of the bed, causing him to fall over and onto the mattress.

"Now that I've killed him, you can finally be mine~" She purred seductively.

Is she for real? YANDERE ALERT.

Ko gritted his teeth. He attempted to sit upright, but Mikan's chest was pinning him down.

Thinking fast, he reached behind his head to grab the lamp placed on the mini table behind him.

With one blow, Ko hit Mikan on the head with a loud thunk and rendered her unconscious.

He placed her limp body under the covers. He knew that she hadn't obtained this new personality by herself. Someone else had changed her. They had brainwashed her to love him.

He clenched his fists.

He walked to the door and was about to grab the brass handle when a major shock of pain traveled from his fingertips to the rest of his arm, causing the albino to immediately drop his arm in pain.

He had forgotten about the blood oath. The stupid, foolish, insolent blood oath. Curse it.
Heck, curse this whole situation. If he hadn't had gotten sick, then none of this would have happened.

No. He can't blame himself for all of this yet. He had to find Hajime first. That was his first priority.

He needed to protect him.

He needed to protect him.

He needed to protect him.

His decision to protect Hajime even if he died overpowered the blood oath. This was a rare occasion in which the blood oath could be broken.

The oath could only be broken at times when the protector's will was stronger than the oath itself.

The collar grew warm, and there was no pain when Ko turned the doorknob.

                                        ~

Ko was walking down the road, thinking about the possible locations that Hajime might have gone to.

The most reasonable thought crossed his mind as he passed by the drug store.
What if Mikan had sent Hajime to get medicine for him?

He turned his head towards the drug store, theorizing the possibility.

He ran towards the store, making sure not to trip over the litter and debris along the way.

There was nothing in the drug store to Ko's disappointment.

There was no sign of struggle or any resistance.

All the shelves were empty and no one was at the counter.

Ko found this absolutely suspicious.

Why open a drugstore when there aren't any employees?

Maybe he would have more luck at the second drug store.

He ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

He was quite out of breath when he arrived at the door of the store.

His fingers barely brushed the metal handle of the door when he noticed something shining on the floor out of his peripheral vision.

It clearly did not look like any piece of trash or any carelessly discarded item.

He crouched down to inspect the glimmering item.

K's eyes widened and his hands started trembling out of fear.

What lay on the floor was none other than Hajime's phone.

The screen had cracked, the lines spreading all over the phone.

The mini keychain at the front of the phone was broken off and lay at the side of the device.

Hajime must have dropped it. It was the most logical reason. Only a force like that could possibly break a phone.

Then the psycho saw it.

A bloodstain. His breath was getting shaky and ragged. Fear entirely consumed his heart, gripping the beating muscle in its palms.

That evidence proved it.

Hajime had indeed been taken.

Ko already knew who. Only He would have sent Her to complete this task. She was the main reason for all of his problems right now.

She would pay dearly for what she did.
He would slowly strangle her to death, his hands gripping around her thin neck as she begged for her life. The corners of his mouth lifted upwards in a horrifying smile as he thought of what he would do to squeeze the life from her body.

Oh, how much fun he would have when witnessing the life fade from her eyes.
It wasn't like she could actually die anyways.

Her death wouldn't affect anything in this world.

She was just a simple toy in His hands. The temptation almost drew Ko insane for blood.

For now, he had to find Hajime first. Then he would mercilessly kill the doll who had taken the brunet from him.

He chuckled darkly at the thought, sprinting away from the crime scene like a vampire out for blood.

You will pay dearly for your crimes. He silently threatened.
