"You touched Naosuke..." Saiki whispered, her hollow scarlet eyes peering down at Masu's lifeless body lying on the ground, "You hurted him..."

"W, what--"

One of the seniors uttered but Saiki's scarlet eyes glanced over, then his voice was cut of as Saiki rushed over in the blink of an eye, lifting the senior off his feet by the scruff of his collar and he made a brief choking noise for a split of a second before Saiki pulled the senior immediately towards her side-first, slamming her other hand into the side of the senior's forehead as it came, and the collision between the two conflicting motion caused the senior's neck to twist forcefully.

A ghastly bone snapping sound emitted from the senior's neck before Saiki dropped his lifeless body down to the ground with a dull thud similar to how an inanimate sack of potatoes would fall.

Now there were only three seniors left, still staring at Saiki with unbelieving faces. The swiftness with which Saiki moved gave them hardly any time to react.

"Naosuke is mine," Saiki said, her voice so quiet it was almost as though she was talking to herself, "All of you will die for what you did to him."

Finally one of the seniors amongst the three remaining began to react, a guy that was built like a rock, having been the biggest one amongst the five seniors.

"...Y, you bitch!" He stuttered, his eyes still slightly disillusioned, "There's no way that happened...! What the fuck did you do, Kawano?!"

He let out a livid roar, then charged up to Saiki with his giant fist pulled back behind him, his eyes mad, "I'll wreck that pretty face of yours and rape you like a fuckin' pig!! Then, I'll kill your boyfriend!!"

Saiki gave him an impartial glance, standing idly as she watched the senior running up to her.

"S, Saiki...!" I stammered, dazed and still in the grasp of the two seniors at my sides, holding my arms.

Just when the senior was about to reach Saiki, she took a single casual step forward towards the side of where the senior was running, then drove her palm rigidly upwards into the bottom of the senior's jaw, causing his mouth to slam shut instantly, alongst with his roar, and his head snapped back into the air.

Blood flew into the air, as well as a chunk of something squirming, and it fell to the ground near me and the other two seniors. We glanced down in dismay at the object covered in blood.

It was a tongue.

A guttural scream ripped out into the cool air, and we turned our eyes in shock back to the senior that was now rolling around the dirt ground of the park, his face twisted in agonising pain with blood pouring out of his mouth.

"What did you say you're going to do to Naosuke?" Saiki said, her face dark as she kicked the side of the senior's ribs, rolling him face up on the ground before placing a feet down firmly on top of his chest, "Could you please repeat your words from earlier...?"

The senior was choking on his own blood on the ground lying face up, blood splurting out of his mouth with each breath he tried to make. His body flailed desperately, trying to roll to his side so that he could breathe but Saiki kept him firmly face up with her feet on top of his chest.

"I-Imms-sooeeeww...!!" Unintelligible noises came from the senior's mouth.

"What was that? I can't hear you." Saiki said.

Then she released her feet from the senior's chest.

Just when a look of relief washed over the senior's face as he tried to turn to his side to spit out the overflowing blood in his mouth, Saiki stomped her feet straight down into the senior's face. Then she raised her feet, and stomped down again, continuing to repeat this process long after his body stopped moving whilst the other two seniors and I watched in shock at the sides.

"Th... this isn't fuckin' happening..." One of the seniors next to me muttered.

Suddenly, I felt the senior on the other side of me releasing his grip on my arm, dropping half of me to the ground, and he bolted for the exit of the park.

Since Saiki was standing where the exit was, the senior tried to dash past the side of Saiki. Just when he passed her and a weak relieved smile crossed his face, Saiki's hand shot out of nowhere, grabbing him by the back of the collar of his shirt, and whirled him back.

He fell of his feet, falling down to the ground in front of Saiki with a horrified pale face, and Saiki leaned down with an eerily bright smile to face the senior.

"Don't worry, it will end soon." Saiki smiled, then she reached behind her, looking for something but it wasn't there, "Ah, my knife..."

"Y, you fuckin' monster...!!" The senior yelled, taking his chance to throw a punch into Saiki's face.

Saiki grabbed his fist nonchalantly, then jerked it upwards towards the senior, and a bone cracking noise sounded as his whole arm was dislocated from the body.

The senior blinked, staring at his arm, the pain having not sunk in yet, "H, huh?"

Then he turned his head back to Saiki to see her coming forward, wrapping both her arms around the senior's neck with a movement so natural and casual that his body didn't even recognise her as a threat, until she twisted his neck and let go, allowing his body to fall down stiffly to the dirt ground.

The last remaining senior out of the five released his hold of my arm, and I fell down to the ground, still in utter shock.

"P, please!" The senior walked over with shaky legs to Saiki before dropping down to his knees and bowing his head completely down until his forehead was pushing at the ground, "D, don't kill me! I, I didn't want to hang with those guys, but they forced me to join their group otherwise they said they would make me their victim! I, I swear I didn't have any choice! I, I'm sorry...!!"

Saiki glanced over to the senior whimpering to himself begging on the floor, then picked herself up, walking over to the senior.

Feeling her presence over him, he slowly raised his head upwards to stare at Saiki.

Her face was completely dark, her eyes hollow and devoid of anything resembling a human.

She leaned down, wrapping both hands diagonally across his body, then jerked him up from the ground, throwing the senior across the other side of her to the ground.

His face landed into the dirt ground, exploding blood, and he skidded across the ground, before falling on his spine and a loud severing noise sounded, ending any further movement from the senior's body.

Now all five seniors were lying on the bloodied park, all dead and unmoving.

~x~

"Naosuke..."

I couldn't even hear Saiki's voice calling to me from up above.

What the hell had just happened?

Did Saiki really...

"Naosuke... it's okay now..."

She just murdered five guys like it was nothing.

Without even having her knife on her.

I couldn't believe it.

I felt Saiki leaning down to me, my eyes were staring frozenly at the body of the last senior that had died.

"Naosuke... are you okay...?"

Should I not had expected for something like this to happen?

I knew that she was a yandere, and I've seen her do some crazy things.

But, murder?

It was the first time I was even seeing a dead person's body, and now there were five all around me.

"I'm sorry, Naosuke... I shouldn't had allowed them to hurt you at all..."

Would I be the sixth dead body?

Just lying motionlessly on the ground with lifeless eyes and deformed bodies like these guys?

"It's all okay now..."

I felt Saiki wrapping her arms around me, hugging me as she pulled my body closer, her head at my shoulder.

"They're all dead..." She whispered into my ear.

Then she drew her head back, placing her lips over mine, kissing me.

Her lips were so soft and sweet, strands of her silky hair grazing against the side of my face, and she smelled so nice like an aromatic fragrance of vanila and sandalwood... then, suddenly the underlying scent of blood hiding behind it hit me.

I shoved her away and she fell backwards with a cry and I stared at the front of her school uniform that was stained with patches of dark red blood like grisly rose petals.

"N, Naosuke...!"

I didn't wait for her to say anything else. I sprinted as fast as I could out of the park.

~x~

BAM.

The door slammed shut behind me and I threw on the locks before stumbling into the bathroom and throwing up in the toilet.

After a moment, I rose up weakly from the toilet, staring into the mirror at my pale face, my black eyes shell-shocked, and my wild black hair even messier than usual.

Saiki had just killed five people in that park...

I mean, sure, those were some absolute terrible scumbags, but did that mean they had to die in that park like that?

I didn't know.

All I knew was that I sure as hell wasn't qualified to say who deserves to die and who doesn't.

Looking in the mirror at how much I had sweated during that frantic run back to my apartment, I decided to take a shower to cool myself down, trying hard to not think about the incident but it was impossible.

After the shower, I went to the kitchen, opening the fridge with a blank mind.

Staring at the frozen meals inside, I didn't even feel anything in my stomach. I glanced at the clock in the living room. It was 7pm and normally I would be starving at this time of the night.

I sighed, closing the fridge, then walked into my bedroom, collapsing into the bed as I approached it. I felt exhausted, my mind chaotic and heavy.

What should I do?

Should I go to the police and tell them about Saiki?

But I didn't really want Saiki to go to jail... would she even go to jail?

Those delinquents had attacked us first after all, and it wasn't like they threatened us with something minor. The delinquents had been bent on inflicting some serious bodily injury on me, whilst god knows what they were planning to do to Saiki. Considering that, would what Saiki did not be classified as self-defence?

I hadn't the faintest clue about the legal system, but there were probably some holes in that defence. Especially considering the shape of the seniors' bodies.

So in the end, Saiki would end up going to jail if I go to the police about this...?

Conflicted and tired, my eyes slowly closed and I drifted off to sleep.

~x~

In my dreams, I heard the seniors' voices screaming. Their cries of pain and agony mere moments before their life was cut short echoed endlessly all around me. Their twisted faces spiraled around my vision, haunting me and cursing at me. I shrunk down to my knees, clutching onto my head, powerless to do anything as the faces spun faster, their screams and shrieks growing louder with each round.

Just when I thought I was going to go mad, the voices suddenly quietened, and a warm embrace encircled me.

"It's okay, Naosuke..." A girl's voice whispered closely to me, their breaths gentle and soothing like the ocean waves, "Everything will be okay... Don't worry..."

Weary and weak, I felt myself giving in to the voice, allowing her words to alleviate my tortured mind. I drew my arms out to the darkness, pulling the warm embrace closer.

"You're safe with me... I will always protect you..."

The faces and voices of the seniors' had now disappeared, and it was just me and the gentle voice, its embrace nursing my mind.

"I love you..."

Something tender and smooth pressed onto my lips, a pleasant wave washing over me. Warmness and softness continued to encircle me, and I pulled it tighter towards me, leaning against it and felt skin sliding against skin pleasingly. Then I felt something wet and warm entering into my mouth, caressing my tongue gently, and I allowed this to go on for several more seconds, before I opened my eyes.

In the dark of the night, Saiki was inside the bed of my apartment, wearing a negligee and making out with me.
