Nightmares -Saiouma/Oumasai-

-66-

Korekiyo was just trembling without saying anything. I could tell that this fact made Himiko angry with him. I would expect that because he did kill her friend, Angie and Himiko were great friends and anyone could see that...so I understand how she feels--she must feel so angry with his actions.

"Kiyo! Why would you kill Angie?! Why would you kill MIu?!" She fumed walking over to him. He towered over her and I could tell this fact made her nervous to get close to him, but she didn't falter.

"Kehehe..." He laughed quietly making Himiko flinch.

"Why did you kill them?!" She yelled moving back a bit when his frame shook once more. He just laughed again like he wasn't going to be executed soon...what is going on with him? I just stood there by my pedestal watching the scene. I didn't notice Shuichi moved behind me until he slowly placed a hand on my shoulder before he pulled me into a hug. His arms went over my chest and my back was against his chest. I smiled a bit at the gesture.

"Kehehe..." He laughed again. I wasn't completely focused on them because the feeling of Shuichi's arms around me made me feel slightly calmer and I didn't want the feeling to go away because of them...

"WHY DID YOU DO IT?!" Tenko boomed from beside Himiko. I flinched at the loud sound and I could feel Shuichi did the same. The volume change between Himiko, Kiyo, and Tenko all made my ears hurt.

"I'll punch you if you don't start talking degenerate!!" Tenko yelled again in a slightly softer voice.

"I see..." He paused before the mask came off again. Maybe this is the one he calls his "Beloved Sister"?

"You can't blame him, you impure soul~! my beloved brother was only doing what would make me happy~ so you can't blame him for taking others lives out of the passionate love he has for me." 'She' stated before the mask went back on.

"You're right my love~ I did this all for love~!" He said with a cooing tone. It made me shiver a bit and move even farther back from him. I moved closer to Shuichi as his grasp on me slightly tightened across my chest.

"What the hells going on?!" Kaito yelled, clenching his fist.

"You just don't understand the truth of true love~!" He cooed again making Kaito and all of the others visibly disturbed.

"True love? That's why you did this?" Maki said with a stone cold glare.

"No need to be so intimidating...I did all of this for my beloved sister~" He said with another sigh as he shook. His eyes were foggy and he looked almost as if he was in total despair...his eyes and the shaking and even the tone of his voice...they are all filled with despair...

"Yeah, we got that part...but why would your sister need you to murder for her?" Tsumugi asked while Tenko and Himiko backed away from him a little bit as he started to sweat.

"I always wanted to make 100 friends..." He started making me feel a little confused. Why bring up friends now? Is that why he killed...maybe his sister is-

"But sadly I was never able too, my beloved sister was never in good health...but being her older brother and infatuated with her I was always by her side---even though she always wanted me to live my own life..." He paused again answering my question. He must have been doing this for his sister? I mean it would make sense if she died that he was doing it to give her friends...but then again why go to all that trouble?

"She was always having to stay inside the house while I was free to go out and make friends...but then one day she left this world and that's when I decided that I would give her friends to have on the other side...Angie was acceptable for this, but MIu didn't make my list of acceptable females for this role...but the seance happened anyway, so maybe Miu will be happy with my beloved sister? I hope she is happy...because I have done this so many times to try and make her happy!" He said with a moan. It made me feel even more uncomfortable that he isn't only admitting to killing Miu and Angie...but he is also admitting to murdering other girls--all for his sister.
