It took me a second to realize what scene had folded before me.

One of us...

Has died.

It's happened once again.

A murder... by one of us.

"Why...? Why...!? Why must it happen again!?"

A mixture of anger, sadness, confusion, and horror settled inside me.

"Dammit... DAMMIT!"

However, contrary to me, Byakuya had a pure, calm exterior.

Byakuya: Most unusual, don't you think...?

Apollo: H-Huh?

Byakuya: Look. Chihiro's corpse has been suspended somehow.  And, something's been written on the wall too, in blood...

Glancing back at the scene, Chihiro's body has been suspended. Almost like she was crucified somehow.

And, behind her, was huge writing in blood.

It read: "BLOODLUST."

Apollo: Blood...lust?

Byakuya: Tch, such a brutal way to kill someone... No, this is beyond brutal. Wouldn't you agree?

Apollo: ...

Mondo: They killed her... They FUCKING KILLED HER! HOW THE HELL CAN IT NOT BE BRUTAL!?

Mondo screamed, his face red in pure rage.

Mondo: I swear to fucking god... If I find whoever was the one who murdered her, I will... I will...!

Kyoko: Kill them? Is that what you were trying to say?

Glancing to the side, I noticed that Kyoko was leaning on the wall, examining the murder.

Apollo: Kyoko? Since when were you-?

Kyoko: I was here the whole time. 

Apollo: Oh. I... guess I didn't notice you.

Mondo: ...

"I guess saying 'kill them' would be quite unfitting, seeing at what we're looking at now..."

Byakuya: But, that's not my point. This murder if far too bizarre for any everyday amateur to have committed it. Unlike with the Sea Urchin, this murder was not a crime of passion or necessity.

Apollo: Hiro...?

Byakuya: It's almost as if whoever did this... did it for fun. You see what I mean, don't you?

"For... fun?"

I couldn't understand what he meant by that. My head was still reeling from whats happened in this last minute.
