Ultimate Virtuosos. (1)

Shuichi and Tenko burst into their current bed setting, staring at Maki who was blankly staring down at her handbook. She just barely masked a face of surprise.
"The cameras. Himiko's camera. It's off." She whispered, allowing the two students peer over her shoulder.
Her handbook showed a glitching screen with silent audio. Maybe it just malfunctioned?
"W-well, maybe we should check on Himiko!!" Tenko desperately screamed, Maki silencing her with a curt nod.
"Yeah... Let's go." Maki just barely sighed, getting up and running out of the room with Tenko, with of course Shuichi trailing behind.
There was a moment of silence when the three stood just outside the magician's door. Tenko silently whispered, almost as if she was praying.
And, with a nod from Tenko, she burst open the door.
Shuichi's eyes immediately widen at the sight.
No. No.. H-huh??
He blinked a couple of times, wondering if his vision was just messing with him.
Tenko stood in the middle, completely frozen. Maki stood to the side as Shuichi did, looking down with a slight tinge of guilt.
What they saw was unbelievable. Unthinkable. Purgatory.

"A body has been discovered!! Please report to Himiko's hospital room."

Tenko, after moments of being frozen, let out a heartbreaking cry as she ran over to Himiko's side.
"Himikoooooo!!!" She sobbed. "No.. No, no, No!!! This isn't real!! I-it CANT be r-real..!"
Maki looks over to the side with a bored expression.
"Himiko... She's dead...." Shuichi mumbled, trying to fight back tears. "W-why..? It was because of my foolishness, wasn't it..? If only I hadn't went out with Tenko, I could have prevented this from-"
Maki grabbed Shuichi's head with one hand and turned it to the side, his sorrow jumping even higher.
No...!

"KOKICHI!!" Shuichi yelled, immediately running over to the supreme leader.
"No... No..! Not Kokichi!! I-I can't have him die!!! I-I haven't even... Confessed..!" He screamed, burying his face in his hands and sobbing. "Fuck... F-fuck!!"
"eh...?" Kokichi opened one of his eyes  drowsily, his vibrant eyes showing color again.
"Huh!? Saihara-chan, What are you doing here?"
Shuichi pulled his hands away with a jerk, staring at Kokichi with wide eyes.
"Kokichi...?" He sniffed.
"Heyyy, why are you crying? Did something happen that I'm supposed to know about? What did I miss?" Kokichi murmured, blinking open both of his eyes and putting his hand on his head. It was definitely bleeding.
He flinched back for a second.
Shuichi didn't say a word. He just immediately pulled Kokichi into a hug and sobbed into his shoulder. "G..Goddamnit, Kokichi!!" He sobbed.
"Holy crap, calm down." Kokichi chuckled, awkwardly patting Shuichi. "Did I almost die or something? And why am I wearing this ugly thing!?"
"I'm telling Tsumugi you said that." Maki growled, crossing her arms. "Also, Shut up, Kokichi. There's much bigger problems than you dying."
Shuichi stood up and helped Kokichi up, allowing him to see the scene.
Kokichi's face seemed to twitch, signaling that he was surprised and horrified of Himiko's death. "Is this a joke?" He gasped.
"No." Maki sighed. "Why would death be a joke?"
Kokichi blinked, but soon returned to his old personality. "Ahaha!!! She looks like a doll that's been beat up. Poor thing. You shouldn't abuse dolls."
"Now is not the time for that, Kokichi.." Shuichi sniffed, wiping the remains of his tears.
"You should go back to your room and change. Since you're feeling better."
"But-"
"Go." Maki growled, pushing Kokichi out of the room.
