Blind Jealousy

An Unnotieced Deception

*This Chapter Includes Gore*
Shuichi POV~

Eh-? What the hell? I leaned in close to the door and quietly inspected the handle, holding my breath as to not wake Kokichi if he was sleeping. Kokichi probably just did this on accident, he must have run into the doorknob or something crazy like that... but as I investigated more I saw the screws. Each screw had been individually unscrewed just enough to open the door without actually breaking it, yet doing this would be totally silent. This wasn't an accident. My heart raced as I began to unintentionally hold my breath again. Then what happened here? I slowly pushed on the broken door handle and the door quietly creaked open, revealing the events occurring before me.

I stood completely unable to move in the entrance to Kokichi's room. I was absolutely petrified. There, on the bed, laid Kokichi, a switchblade pressed against his neck and a hand over his mouth. I was unable to make out the figure that was on top of Kokichi, using their legs to pin his arms to the bed. Everything felt so surreal at that moment, and all I could hear was my own deep breathing. I was witnessing a murder in the making.

"I'm really sorry to do this Kokichi." The ominous voice said softly, nudging the blade a bit closer to Kokichi's throat. "But you really shouldn't have trusted me in the first place~" that's- it suddenly hit me. I felt a cold sensation run up my back and force me to shiver. That's... Rantaro. The reason he did all of this... Making me jealous, provoking me into attacking him, making Kokichi hate me... he did all of this to get me out of the way so I couldn't stop him from doing this. He didn't just wanna ruin our relationship... he was trying to get away with murder. Without thinking I lunged at Rantaro and pulled him backward off Kokichi, him landing on top of me as we slammed to the floor. "Gah-!" Rantaro spun to face me in pure shock, switchblade still tightly clasped in his hand. "You little shit!" Rantaro suddenly flipped over and stabbed the knife at my face, but I quickly jolted to the side. The knife cut deep into the wooden floor and tore up part of it as Rantaro violently ripped it out. What the hell is this?! I thought he was Kokichi's- before I could finish my thought the blade was coming my way again, and I barely dodged it. Shit! I grabbed at Rantaro's wrist and hopelessly Tried to pry the Knife out of hand. Rantaro's grip was really tight... "Hey." The cold, strong way he said that made me stop for a second, completely frozen. "You should have minded your own business, cause now I gotta kill you bo-" I swung my fist as hard as a could and punched him right in the gut. "ARGH!" He brought his arm down and clenched onto his stomach, coughing and spitting. "Get OFF!" I used my hand that wasn't pinned down by his leg to pull at his shirt collar. He was totally steady. "Uhg..." I fearfully watched as he lifted his head to meet my eyes, wiping his spit from his mouth. His olive eyes glowed in the darkroom as he stared at me, an absolutely petrifying sight. He lifted the knife high above me and I tried to twist away, but his grip on me was too tight. This is how I'm gonna die

Rantaro plunged the knife into my shoulder, twisting it as he pushed it deeper. "AHH-Mmpf!" He quickly covered my mouth with his hand to prevent me from screaming and pulled the blooded dagger from my body. My eyes filled with tears as the unbearable pain began to set it. I could feel my own thick, hot blood gushing from my open gash. I dug my nails into the wooden floorboards as I tried to scream out of pain, Rantaro's hand still preventing me. "S-Saihara-Chan!!" Kokichi spoke for the first time in a frightened tone, his eyes wide with horror. I couldn't even focus on his voice, all I could hear was the ringing in my ears as I bleed out onto the floor, tears rushing down my face and mixing with my own blood in a puddle. "God, this is such a bother!" Rantaro said in a devilish tone "I didn't want the hassle of killing two people! But I guess that's part of the risk I take." His frightening expression twisted into an evil smile as he watched me squirm under his power. "But I will get some relief out of killing you Shuichi! You almost ruined my plan, so I'm gonna make this extra painful just for you!" My mind was drifting from the whole situation, feeling like I was about to pass out from the pain. The wound throbbed and gushed more of my blood onto the floor, my eyes beginning to unfocus causing my vision to blur. I could barely make out Rantaro pulling the knife above his own head, ready to slash me open. I clenched my eyes shut and braced myself for the worst. "GET OFF HIM!"

Kokichi had picked up a vase of flowers and swung it upside down, causing the flowers to scatter all over the floor. Rantaro turned to face Kokichi as was greeted by the glass vase in his face, instantly knocking him back and off me. *Cough Cough Cough* I clenched my wound and whimpered on the floor, unable to move as I bleed more and more. Rantaro was next to me, holding the blade under his nose as if he was covering his face. "Heh... heh heh..." Rantaro began to creepily laugh and Kokichi turned pale and he scooted a bit further back on his bed. Rantaro turned to Kokichi with blood dripping profusely from his nose, his eyes narrowing with anger. I heard Kokichi gasp as he tightly twisted the sheets in his hand. Rantaro picked himself up from the floor and stepped over my curled up blooded body, walking right towards Kokichi. Without saying anything he harshly pushed Kokichi onto the bed and pinned him down. My eyelids felt heavy as I felt my strength leave my body. I couldn't even see straight anymore without putting in a large amount of effort. This is how I die I began to convince myself I'm going to die right here, curled up on the floor bleeding out. And what about the other? What's going to happen to everyone... I-... I didn't even get to tell Kokichi I was sorry...

"Ah-! Shu-Shuichi!" Kokichi's desperate voice rang in my ears he's... calling out for me. I forcefully opened my eyes and winched from the pain. I looked up and meet Kokichi's eyes. His beautiful violet eyes Panicked and tear filled. He looked at me hopelessly while Rantaro powerfully pinned him in his place, unable to move. Kokichi- Rantaro clumsily Lifted the blade above Kokichi, blood dripping down his face and staining the white sheets. No no no no no... I can't let this happen... he's gonna hurt him! I can't- I have to... "AHH!"

I pulled myself forward and latched onto both of Rantaro's ankles with each hand, pulling him back as hard as I could. I felt my head Throb from the pain as my wound opened a bit more because of my extended arms. "AH-!" Rantaro tripped over me and fell backward onto the floor behind me, Almost stabbing himself in the hand as he hit the ground. I looked frantically around me and felt myself grow weak again as my head began to pound from the blood loss. I could see Rantaro begin to sit up out of the corner of my eye and started to panic. Shit shit shit shit! That's when I noticed it... the vase.

The vase Kokichi had hit Rantaro with was laying on the floor against the edge of the bed. I felt Rantaro rise behind me, so I instinctively reached out and grabbed the vase. I twisted around and swung the vase as hard and my arm would let me at Rantaro. When I turned to him it felt as if I was in slow motion, time slowing down to allow me to find where to swing. The vase smashed on impact over his head and he Immediately slumped to the floor. I quickly took the knife from his hand and threw it across the room. I let out a loud sigh of relief as a looked over Rantaro laying unconscious on the floor before me. I turned back around to check on Kokichi. He was laying in the same spot Rantaro had left him, too frightened to move with tears still dripping down the sides of his face. "O-Ouma-Kun!" I began to stand up but stumbled a bit. "Ugh..." I lightly placed my hand over my still bleeding wound and began to walk to the bed. I leaned down on the bed and sat next to Kokichi, pulling him up to me to see his face. "Are you ok?" I said concerned "Y-You're bleeding," Kokichi brought his attention to my gash. "You n-need to get-" "Hey." I gently pulled him up closer to me, holding him in my arms. "I'm ok. Really. Are you ok?" His eyes meet mine and he softly looked at me, beginning to tear up again. The boy buried his face in my shirt and tightly held onto me. I had never seen him like this before. I mean, ever since what happened in the library things have been so different... but to see Kokichi crying and tightly holding onto me... I started to cry too. I carefully placed my head on top of his soft hair and pulled him closer into the embrace, cradling Him in my arms.

"I'm so sorry Ouma-Kun..."
