Killing

Missing

"If you're going to chase down those who tarnish your name do it on your own time, not the organizations"

I look away angrily as Blood looks at me.

"What organization?"

I look at Blood

"It's none of your business"

Blood smiles

"Again with the 'none of your business' spiel, look man, I more or less just met you today but if you need help I can help you."

I sneer as the blonde, Akira, chuckles

"What I do and need doesn't involve you, leave, you've seen my house and that's all you're getting from me"

Akira chuckles again and reaches for my shoulder, I jerk away

"Trouble in paradise? Ha-ha doesn't he know? About us? Your friend seems very knowledgeable why don't you let him get involved in your search?"

"No, and he's not my friend"

Blood sighs.

...

"N-no! Please stop! Please!"

The woman's tears run freely down her soft cheeks as she crawls away from her captor.

"Please! I'll do whatever you want! Just please don't hurt me anymore!"

Her captor chuckles and holds up their scythe

"Your tears don't move me enough, cry more and I might let you free"

She backs away into a corner as tears flow more freely down her face.

"PLEASE!"

She hiccups

"Please, I'm begging you…"

As she slowly loses her will she puts her head down as her captor walks toward her with a scythe.

"Oh no no no"

Her captor reaches down and pulls her up by her hair looking her in the eye.

"You look at me when I speak, I'm doing things differently with you, you don't get to be cut by this"

Her captor holds up their scythe

"Instead you get to do something for me"

"W-w-what?"

"You'll see"

...

"Look he's here!"

I look away with frustration (great now these teenage girls' hormones are probably raging…). A small girl about five foot walks up to me.

"U-um w-will you go out with me?"

She quickly bows to hide her face. I stare at her for a moment.

"Ami! He's a murder! Don't ask him out you baka!"

I blink. The small girls' friend tries to get her away from me.

"N-no he's not! Leave him alone he-"

"No"

Both look at me.

"Eh?"

I nod to Ami

"I said no"

Ami get teary.

"b-but w-"

"Because he's mine"

Blood come from behind me and puts his hand on my shoulder. The girls in my class all gasp in unison.

"Kawaii!"

"Cute!"

"Yaoi!"

"Boy love!"

Ami gasps and blushes deeply

"I-I-I-I-I'm sorry! I didn't know!"

I sigh

"It's not t-"

Ami bows again

"Please forgive me!"

I sigh and wave her off

"Whatever"

All the girls sigh in unison

"Kawaii"

I wave the girls off

"Glad I could make your day ladies"

Blood taps my shoulder

"Hey man, want to hang out today"

I look at him bewildered

"No I have things to do!"

Blood smiles

"So I'll wait after class for you"

I shake my head

"Baka"

Blood gets a call as I walk up to him

"Mom?"

"Blood have you seen your sister?"

"Aoi?"

"Yes your sister…"

Blood frowns.

"No, why?"

"She didn't come home like she said she would, she said she was going to a friends house and that she'd be back soon, you know how good your sister is with checking in, well, she hasn't checked in at all! Blood im worried!"

I could hear a slight sob at the end of Bloods mom's rant.

"So you want me to ask around?"

"Yes!"

Blood nods

"Okay mom I'll ask any and every one if they've seen her, okay?"

"Thank you, I've already contact the police, your help would make me feel better… I love you Blood"

"Love you too mom"

"Bye"

"Bye"

Blood hangs up

"My sisters missing…"

I frown

"Do you think it's the killer?"

Blood shakes his head

"I don't think so,"

I interrupt

"It doesn't fit his pattern but it could still be the killer…"

Blood looks at me

"What makes you say that?"

I look away

"Just a hunch"
