Y/n's pov:
I was now currently sitting down on the fountain along with a short, white haired girl witu pigails and a katana as she sat next to me.
Y/n:'Awkward...' I described the current tension.
???:"...You have been rather busy." She said to me.
I then look at her in response as I tilt my head in confusion.
???:"You and your big brother have caused many previous commotions the past few days since your transfer here." She pointed out. "And all of them have affected the girl's dormitory. Therefore..." She said as she suddenly pulls out her Katana.
She then swiftly take out her blade and swings towards my neck, but I manage to catch it with my fingertips, as her speed was faster than the eye could see, except mine.
Ofcourse, my feat of being able to catch her quicl draw and slash, had surprised her a bit as she pulls back her blade and sceathes it back.
???:"Hmpth, you could've died, if not for your impressive speed and reactions." She pointed out. "Although, I would've wished it had a chance to connect." She added.
Hearing this, I narrow my eyes to a serious expression as the sky started getting darker, indicating rain was about to fall.
???:"For explanation, the headmistress had entrusted me with your case and your case specifically, excluding your brother from the equation." She revealed.
Y/n:'So Rin and Kikakujo are not my real supervisors, but her?' I said in my head.
???:"The headmistress has allowed you to commit 2 transgressions. However, you have already surpassed that limit." She informed me. "First, was breaking into Onigawar-san's in the girl's dorms." She pointed out.
Y/n:'That was Fudou's idea.'
???:"Second was breaking into Tamaba-san's room and the bathing area in the girl's dorms. And then third, making me wait at the fountain last night." She pointed out.
Y/n:'Huh? Since when did I promise to meet her last night?' I asked in my head confused.
Inaba:"Anywho, Because of the nature of this Academy, I, Tsukuyo Inaba, is not to be driven to anger by small things." She said. "But, the girl's dormitory's are a different matter. My attendant manages the dorms. Therefore, all responsibilities falls on her shoulder. The Buddha's patience have limits, and I have reached mine!" She added, showing she was angry at me causing ruckus in the girls dorms.
She then held on her Katana's handle as she takes another fighting stance, ready to draw as I just ignore her and just continued to sit, making her confused.
Inaba:"You have not move from your current position, what is the matter?" She asked me confused and let go of her stance.
Y/n:"..." I just stayed silent as a butterfly flies over to my shoulder.
And so, in a swift moment, the butter that flapped it's wings and was flying above my shoulder, was suddenly cut in half, as I see Inaba sceathed her Katana again, as if she was the one who cut down that butterfly.
Y/n:'That quick strike....it really is that bastard's style.' I said remembering the style mine and Fudou's uncle had taught Fudou. "Kots-No...Unyou...One Hundred Thousandth Speed." I said the name of the technique she used.

Inaba:"It would you have recognized it on one look, impressive." She praised me. "I'm sure you've figured it out by now...Yes, I'm a fellow student." She explained.
Y/n:'To think I'd meet a fellow practitioner of the Yakumaru Jigen Sword Style.' I said in my head as I was a fellow student of mine and Fudou's uncle who also does the same sword style.
Inaba:"Being able to react to the speed at the same level of Kotsu is an extremely rare and near impossible ability to achieve. But what impresses me more is that, unlike your brother, your Swordsman capabilities has stayed, despite not holding one for a very long time." She praised me. "If only you were blessed with a proper teacher." She said disappointingly.
And so, she continued on conversing to me on why she knew that I was a fellow practitioner of Yakumaru Jigen, until I suddenly hear a scream coming from the rooftop.
???:"Yo-Bo!" Is what I heard from the scream.
Y/n:"Huh?" I said confused.
Inaba:"It would seem that your hearing is also impressive. You really are a capable figher." She praised me even more. "If your wondering what the commotion on the roof is all about, then let me answer it for you...It is the Empress." She said shocking me.
Y/n:"Amou..." I said the empresses name.
Inaba:"Truth be told, the reason we of the Five Swords know of your magic bullets is because it came from the empress herself. It would you two are acquainted to her, especially you." She said pointing towards me as I come to a realization.
Y/n:'So...it really is her.' I said as Inaba just confirmed that the empress was the Amou I met before.
Inaba:"From the moment she came here, the aloof Empress didn't try to get along with anyone, but she spoke of you and only you quite fondly and obssesively. It would seem that you two haven't spent much time since coming here." She added. "Are two prehaps friends? Or is it something more intimate?" She asked me.
I then ofcourse, shook my head no.
Inaba:"Onigawara, Kikakujo, Warabi ans Tamaba...In a blink of an eye in everyone's view here, you were able to become friends with the four members of the swords." She pointed out. "*coughx2* Seems you are quite good at making friends, but how did things co-" She cut herself off.
The reason for that was because I started running towards the entrance of the Schoolbuilding while she was talking. Although it was rude, I needed to go and see the commotion happening at the rooftop.
Inaba's pov:
Di-did he just...start running as I was conversing with him....how rude.
With what he just did, I started shaking with anger as I was gritting my teeth.
Inaba:"I'm...so...DISSAPOINTED!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
Y/n's pov:
I was now currently running in the hallways towards the rooftop as I had just recognized that the scream from earlier sounded like Warabi.
Y/n:'Damn it! Please don't be what I think it is!' I hoped in my head.

After a while, I went up the stairs leading to the rooftop as I slam the door open and barged in, only to see, Warabi, Kyo-bo, Tamaba, Misogi, Tanukihara, Tohko and Sarutwatari all laying on the floor, seemingly all killed.
(Fudou=Y/n)
This scene...this act made me suddenly shake in fear as I began to hold myself similar to a self hug as I grit my teeth with tears suddenly forming from my eyes.
Y/n:"No...no...not again...not again..." I repeated.
The scene I saw today, made me remember my bestfriend I had in my old school where Fudou and I, used to o go to as I get a flashback of them laying on the ground lifeless and bleeding, similar to what happened to all my classmates now.
As I was having a mental breakdown, I suddenly hear a whisper from Hanasaka.
Warabi:"Y-Y/n..." She said my name.
I then immediately ran towards her as I held onto her.
Warabi:"Y/n...don't worry about me...just get the others..." She suggested as I went wide eyed.
She then suddenly passes out from a bit of blood loss as I see she has been injured at her eyelids as well as a combination of fatigue and injury.
Y/n:"Oi! Warabi-san! Wake up! Wake up!" I desparately called out for her to wake up.
But it fell on deaf ears as she didn't move one single muscle. Seeing this, I layed her gently back to her former position as I stood up and clinched my fists.
Y/n:"....AMOUU!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
Amou's pov:
Amou:'That voice...the one that just yelled my name...It's Y/n...' I said in my head as I recognized the voice.
Hearing him yell my voice in anger it...it...it...fills me with....bliss~ Just him mentioning my name just makes me soo happy.
But, I can't be with him for now. After all, I need to take care of the other vermin that resides in this school. And so with that, I descended onto the school's fountain as I see Inaba all alone, sitting down.
Amou:"Hoh? You seem upset, Tsukuyo Inaba." I pointed out.
Inaba:"Yes, when my anger surpasses a certain level, I smile instead. So childish." She replied.
As we started conversing, the blood the others I had swiftly taken care of at the rooftop dripped as Inaba heard it.
Inaba:"You too should carouse in moderation, Empress." She suggested as I laughed.
Amou:"Hehehe~ I can't hide anything from you. Were you alright with watching them die?" I asked her as I knew she heard the commotion at the rooftop as if she was watching the whole thing.
Inaba:"They weren't really my friends." She answered as she looks away.
Amou:"I see, wel then.." I said as a smile appears on my face. "It'd be best if you avert your eyes from what's going to happen next." I suggested
And so, I began to approach her with the intent to probably kill her on the spot, but then another all too familiar voice called, a voice of the man of which I envied and hated.
Fudou:"Amou!" The older and weaker brother of Y/n called out to me.
I then look towards his direction to see him, Onigawara, Kikakujo and their retainers arrive as they held onto their blades and Fudou wearing his gloves.
Kikakujo:"What is the meaning if this!?" She yelled at me.
It's them...the ones that whipped my beloved with those bamboo stick below the dormitory, thanks to them, my beloved has been slowly remembering his past's child trauma.
Amou:'...I'll kill you...I'll kill you...I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'LL KILL YOU TWO!!!' I said in my head in anger.
Rin:"Amou, explain to me what those screams from earlier was about!?" She demanded.
Kikakujo:"We won't forgive and let you go until we've corrected you!" She said as they both got out their blades.
Seeing this, am excited smile appeared on my face as I get to kill 3 of one of the last people in my way to finally obtain Y/n as mine and mine alone.
Amou:"If you want to know, then I'll gladly show you a demonstration....with your bodies." I said as I glare at them with excitement as I spread my ears on boths sides to make them come at me.
Y/n's pov:
As I stood in anger and was making sure Warabi was still breathin, I suddenly feel a presence behind me, making me turn around immediately to see a purple-haired woman wearing fancy clothing like a tuxedo.
Y/n:'Who is she? I've never seen her before...' I asked myself.
???:"...Move aside...I'll examine her wounds." She said in a non expressive face.
Hearing this, she crouches down to Warabi's level as she check up on her wound on her eyelids.
???:"...Her eyes are fine, but the injury on her eyelids is down to the orbital fascia. She can't open her eyes on her own." She deduced from her examination.
Y/n:"Is she..."
???:"Hai...She'll need to surgery, but other than that, she'll be fine." She answered.
Y/n:"*Sigh* Thank you." I thanked her.
As I thanked, she suddenly points towarss the fence as I look at her confused.
???:"...Look." She suggested.
Ofcourse, I agreed as I went over to the fence and looked down, but what I saw made me remember even more bad memories and made me shake in fear even more.
I saw...Rin and Mary, on the floor beaten up...but...I saw Fudou on the ground...lying in blood as Amou...the same Amou from mine and Fudou's previous school...standing above him like a few years ago.
Y/n:"No...No way....FUDOUUUU!"

8 99Shoot on sight
Zone has no owner, it has its rules It shows no mercy, to both wise and fools. It has no God, it gives no hope It gives to kind, last rites and rope. It’s a Hell on Earth where demons thrive But people kill, to get inside. People kill, to leave this place People die, for a chance to stay. For those, outside, they dream of horrors We live inside, horrific borders. We live, we thrive, just like those demons. Here, our lives, they have a meaning. Zone has no God, it has no Devil But it has us and its enough We are in Hell or maybe Heaven Gates are here, in front of us. The Zone has many rules and none of them would make much sense to you, living on the Outside. For example here, you would never hear, “I’m sorry for your loss”. Only silence would be the answer. The most empathetic action you would receive, is an open flask and a nod. People here don’t expect to live long and happy lives and even the most optimistic person at most, would hope to die inside of a blender. It's the most painless and quickest way to die in The Zone, and the cleanest. Your body would be torn apart in a second by countless gravitational pulls, all centered on you, leaving nothing but a red circle outside of its perimeter.
