It Started With A Question

Chapter 31

"Shinso. Can you make him turn his quirk off?" I asked the violet haired dude.

Kirishima's flesh softened and smoothed across his body. Even his eyes seemed to grow softer. "Thanks. Hatsume, I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"Kill Kirishima," I tell her, still managing to keep my smile though I knew it would be difficult to make her do it.

"What?!"

"Go on," I said to Hatsume as I put a hand on her shoulder and pressed one of my knives into her quivering palm. "Kill him."

"But," she looked at me as her eyes started to tear up. "But I don't want to."

"Oh, you don't want to? Ask me how many fucks I give."

"Please don't make me do it."

"It's a kill or be killed world, Hatsume," I told her and turned her head towards Kirishima. "You kill him, or I'll kill you. Your decision."

"I don't wanna die," Hatsume mutters as her tears start to fall. "Kirishima, I'm so sorry for this."

She held the knife out in front of her chest and stood there for a minute. I decided to nudge her forward at that point because she was taking way to damn long.

The knife sank into Kirishima's chest, and Hatsume lay on top of him, having tripped over his feet. She shrieked and quickly pushed herself off of him.

"You can't leave the knife in," I frowned down at said object. "It's keeping the blood inside of him."

"You know, I have this feeling that you know that based on all of your other killings."

"You learn a lot about murder through experience." I informed her. "Oh look he's dead."

Kirishima's eyes had gone back to their normal shade of red. Shinso's quirk must not work after the victim dies. Makes sense, you can't mind control something if it's brain isn't able to give the body any commands.

"You must've but him in the heart," I gave her a pat on the back. "Good job."

"So, he's actually dead?" She asked.

"Yep. D-e-a-d. Dead."

"I killed him?"

"I helped, but yeah."

"I'm a criminal now."

"You've been a criminal. You're just a coward," Shinso said to her as he wiped some blood off of his own knife with Kirishima's shirt. "We have to get going or else somebody is going to find us."

"I'm pretty sure someone already has," Tsu said and put a finger to her lips and shushed us. "Listen."

At first I didn't hear anything, then the sound of footsteps got louder and louder from the hallway behind us.

"What the hell is going on here?!"

"Kachan!" I yelled and raised my eyebrows as I turned myself around. "Thank goodness you came!"

"Is this a joke Deku?" Hatsume asked. "Are you just going to pull the same shit on him?"

I turned towards her and pointed. "She's been keeping us as hostages and killed Kirishima! She tried to make me kill him!"

When you forget to update for an entire week. It's just a little late but oh well.

<><><>

So, we are going to be discontinuing this book.

Ah, ah, ah. Before you leave, we would like you to know that we will be rewriting/editing this book.

We apologise for any inconveniences this may cause you, but it will be up on our account. It will have the same cover but is going to be called It Can Only Get Worse

We will be going over plot holes and working on the plot. The chapters will be written better and will be longer. This will be done with the help of our lovely readers who raised question for some things happening to the plot. (Please don't take that offensively -Anxiety)

On a side note. This will be left up until the end of February.

Thank you for your consideration (if there be lack thereof, oh well)
