Wednesday 14th, October

Kaito escorted the last of the household, while the leftover males hesitated to leave the boy in charge if the girl for the span of the day. The male closed the door and heard the confirming sounds coming from the kitchen and approached the doorway to check on the person inside. Leaning against the door frame, he pleasingly stared at the female's back as she diverted her attention with a distraction hidden out of the boy's view. "What are you doing?"

(Y/n) nearly jumped at the male's unexpected appearance and proceeded to compose herself before solemnly turning back around. "Nothing really..."

Kaito approached the girl as she began preparing tea for herself and placed his palm on top of her hand, squeezing through the gaps of her fingers and holding her hand up to place against his cheek. "Try to be a bit more enthusiastic over this (Y/n). I've waited so long to spend some nice, quality time with you...And now I have you all to myself." In the midst of his enjoyment over his reward, the girl pulled away and walked towards the fridge to find an excuse that would distance herself from the male. Kaito huffed out in disapproval in slight irritation as he watched the girl preparing her breakfast. 'I guess I'll be fishing for any speech from her if I want us to actual enter conversation.'

Bako silently made his way through the crowds of students as they ran and walked around with their friends to assigned destinations, While the male kept a secluded bubble around himself as he ignored the rest of the world around. 'That f**king son of a...-I can't just go on like this with the thought of him putting his filthy hands on (Y/n)...If he touches even the air around her, I'll ring his neck and force him down a pipe.'

As the boy amused himself with his malicious thoughts, he felt a sensation creeping up on him from out of thin air. After attempting to ignore it for the first minute, Bako spun around and scan through the crowds of teenagers as he attempted to spot the source of the disturbance.

'Was someone watching me...? UGH! I won't be able to have some peace like this. He's just trying to drive me over the edge with his little games.' While the boy directed his malevolent intents towards the intellectual, he readied to scream out his vexation but forced himself to stop after being reminded of his position and location.

"Uhm...Miss?" As the teacher turned around to notice a pair of her students giving her urgent and concerned expressions, she gestured for them to proceed with their inquiry as she intently listened to them. "Ryo has been sitting in the corner, mumbling things to himself for the past 30 minutes...uhm, we're kind of worried about him." The woman looked towards where the students were pointing at to regard the blond curled up between the conjoining walls as his face was buried deep in his knees.

The woman unsurely scratched her neck before dismissing the pair with gratitude and proceeded to approach the boy with a friendly smile. She crouched down to level with his height and gently spoke to him as though he were a wounded animal. "Hey there Ryo. You doing alright there?"

The boy remained unresponsive for a long moment, making the older woman unsure if he had heard her. However, he eventually shuffled around in his position as he muttered something inaudible to the rest of his surroundings.

"Pardon? What was that?" The female strained her ear to catch the slightest sound from the lulled boy. She gave him an uncertain smirk as she urged for him to speak up.

"Can angels love devils?" The boy's tone was devoid of his past charisma as he attempted to look towards his world with color, only to be greeted with a blank canvas. The older woman seemed stumped at the question and was uncertain if she had even heard him correctly.

"Well uumm...Why do you ask?" She gave him a questioning raise of her eyebrow as the male stared into the open space in front of him with a thoughtful and grieving gaze.

"I just want to know if I deserve something good..."

Jin silently sat at his desk, an aura of isolation and warning repulsion surrounding his stiff state, warding off any person that was unlucky enough to close in and sense the noxious atmosphere the male was emitting. The boy quietly dismissed his environment as he entered his own thoughts to think over the girl he was longing for, until he was disturbed by a presence beside him.

His English teacher looked over the boy's shoulder to notice the gruesome and detailed drawings and doodles of weapons that he marked over with a red pen to give the illusion of a scarlet substance dripping down them. The older man looked at the boy with concerned disapproval and cleared his throat to grab the males attention.

The teacher leaned down to regard the boy privately on his task, "Jin, please try to concentrate on the task at hand..." However, the usually obedient boy bluntly ignored his superior and continued with his wondering thoughts. The teacher sighed in defeat, having been his fifth attempt to focus the boy back on his work. "...Where's your partner Jin?" The male looked around to spot any sign of the boy that would sit beside him. Jin pointed with his pencil across the other side of the room to a shuddering boy that hunched over his work, trying his hardest to immerse himself in the activity and attempting to forget the words he had heard from his partner.

Alex quietly sprawled himself on the ground as he avoided any proximity with the rest of the school life, and contemplated over the restrictions he was given by the intellectual. '(Y/n) isn't safe with him...she'll get hurt if I leave her. I want my (Y/n). I want her here, I want her beside me, I want here away from every one of these scum that'll hurt her.' The boy irefully bit down on his wrist to relieve his tense nerves and replace the angered sensation with pain.

Alex irritably shot up into a sitting position as thought's of spiteful vengeance directed themselves towards the absent male that had taken the duty of looking over the girl that plagued his concerns and mind. The stone-faced student exhaled a deep breath of worry until his senses were distracted by another invasion from a second party. Alex began eagerly sniffing the air multiple times, twisting his head around in every direction to pinpoint the direction the scent was coming from.

'This scent...' After concluding on a location that could be the possible origin of the aroma, he directed his attention to the sharp corner of the building to witness a shadow darting out of view and disappearing away from the area. The boy shot up to gain pursuit in the intruder as his mind ran with thoughts over the identity. 'This scent, this scent, this scent! I know it, who is this?!' After taking a few turns, following the odour that remained a mystery, yet an embedded reminder in his head. Alex noticed the shadow quickly turning a corner, and felt a spurt of relief as he knew he was catching up to the person.

Skidding around the same edge, Alex was stumped as a crowd and slew of students blocked out any way of deciphering who had merged with the bunches. The boy attempted to use his receptors to sniff out the smell once more, only to pick up on the dozens of foreign and insignificant odours mixed in. The boy growled loudly in frustration, startling a few passersby with the inhuman sound, storming away with an irritated form and distracted mind.

"Sir, please understand we need to keep you under surveillance for at least another week. You just came out of surgery yesterday, you need time to-"

Ren interrupted the medical specialist with a dark and demanding glare, silencing the older man. "You said that the wound wasn't deep and no organs were harmed during the attack. All that was done was a stitch up and a blood transfusion, I can recover at home." The musician had spent a sleepless night, not due to the tormenting nightmares, but the prospect of leaving the female under the supervision of the household, without his incorporation. The doctor began to slightly sweat at the forceful demeanour of the son of his superiors.

"Sir, we need to make sure you have a successful recovery. If any more complications occur, you need to heal-"

"I said I want to leave, right now." His words seemed final and the man was left to internally shake his head in disapproval. "If anything happens or if I feel any sort of discomfort I'll come and tell you."

The doctor sighed and gestured for the nurse to provide the student with fresh clothing. "Ren, as your doctor, I highly suggest you simply-"

However, the male benignly ignored the medical practitioner and began stripping away the hospital shirt to reveal the freshly sown wound that still brought great discomfort and pain from the slightest movements he made as the unhealed cut opened with every stretch. "I would highly appreciate it if you do not mention this to my parents or family."

The man stared at his patient with a stunned and struggling expression. "Ren your parents need to be informed about this! You're the son of our supervisors and they would certainly want to-"

The musician shot him a silencing scowl as his dark eyes pierced through every word that was sent to him until it reached the stunted man's perception. "I'll be leaving in a few hours. If you don't mind, put my name down as an alias in the records and pretend I was never here." The doctor could feel his determination slipping away and nodded in saddened defeat as the nurse entered the room to place the clothing on a chair, and left on account of her superior's orders. '(Y/n)...I need you. I'll be back, soon.'

(Y/n) intently focused as each step had to accurately avoid trudging on her partner's own feet. "Why are you teaching me to Waltz, again?" She looked up at the boy's pleased face only to be responded with a raised eyebrow and frown.

"Well, if I can remember our conversation correctly, you said you always wished to take up dance classes." The girl groaned in irritation as she half accidentally stepped on the male's toe.

"I was talking about things like Breaks Dancing or Ballet...the Waltz never really occurred to me before." She corrected as she let herself to be gently spun around by the indifferent male. As she was brought close to rejoin their original position, she found her feet landing on top of his. "Ok, that's it!" (Y/n) pulled away from the boy in frustrated annoyance. "As much as you won't believe me, I seriously am getting tired of stepping on your feet most of the time."

Kaito sighed with an irked expression and gently rubbed his toes. "You're not trying hard enough. By now the basics should be instinctual, it's just moving your feet with mine." The girl shot him an aggravated glare and crossed her arms in defiance.

"Or maybe you're just a bad teacher. I don't even see when I'm going to need it anyway, who Waltzes these days?"

"A lot of people for your information." The girl huffed at the contradicting statement from the boy while he proceeded to sit down and rest his sore feet. "Honestly, you can be quite hypocritical sometimes (Y/n). First, you scold me for not treating people with a bit more grace, and instead of giving me some gratitude for wasting my time and energy to teach you something elegant, you just complain." The girl cringed at the brutally truthful claim and humphed with stubborn displeasure.

"I am grateful...I'm quite grateful for a lot of things you've done for me." Kaito shifted his focus onto the girl as her tone softened and her posture slumped. "It seems so difficult for you to control the rest of the household and based on how easily triggered they can be, I think it was quite risky for you to speak to them and give them restrictions that they wouldn't desire. And for that, I don't know how to thank you enough for making me feel a bit safer." She gave the boy an appreciative smile that escalated his heart rate.

Kaito began smiling to himself with a thoughtful spark in his cold eyes. "I think I know what you can do to show your gratitude towards me." The girl eagerly placed her attention on the boy's words with curiosity. Kaito put his hand out towards the female with a beaconing grin as his palms demanded to hold the girl. "Kiss me."

(Y/n)'s expectant smile disappears as her features rectified into a bewildered expression. "What?" Her words slipped out with a rigid yet broken tone as she reflexively shook her head at the smug male.

"You said you wanted to show your gratitude towards me. This is all I ever wanted." He extended his hand closer towards the girl but made no attempt to grab her as he awaited for her to willingly accept it. (Y/n) stared at him with a stupified look and kept wracking her head from side to side in denial. "What's wrong? I thought you said you would do anything to show your gratitude. One little peck on the lips shouldn't be such a big deal right?" However, the girl tenaciously continued to pivot her head in rejection to his request. Kaito inwardly grunted and clasped onto the female's wrist as she began backing away. "Don't be a stubborn girl (Y/n). What I want isn't a big deal."

"Kaito let go! I don't want to. I'm not going to kiss you!" The girl began twisting her arm around to squeeze out of the boy's grip, only for him so increase his hold with iron intensity. He tugged back to force the girl to fall against him so he would trap her in his arms, but (Y/n) reflexively found her balance and skidded to a halt before she would stumble forward. "Kaito, I said no! Stop this, get a hold of yourself!" The boy growled in retaliation as he continued pulling against her reprobations. After the nullifying progression, he stood up from his seat, forcing the girl to jerk away out of fear.

"Damn it (Y/n). Do I have to force myself on you?" He spoke his words between clenched teeth and tugged at the retaliating teenager. After a few minutes of forestalling struggling, Kaito painfully slammed the female against the wall and jabbed his hands against her arms to immobilize her from escaping. The pair irefully glared at each other as each one fought for their dominance.

"You b*****d! Get your filthy, disgusting hands off of me!" (Y/n) furiously glowered at him as her indignant rage filtered through her blood.

Kaito roughly grabbed her chin and forced her face towards his. He handed the girl a serious and longing gaze as he stared at her revolted and fearful one. "I want you to understand why I'm doing this (Y/n). I want to live with the thought that I got to you first. I want to know that I gave you such a tender and meaningful moment instead of any of the others." The female's temper began exceeding its limits as her nerves began snapping. Kaito proceeded to advance toward her face, his lips stretched into a small smile as he approached the girl's trembling ones.

"Too late for that." She spitefully growled, catching the boy out before he can make contact. Kaito pulled back to give the female a confused and clamouring stare.

"What is that supposed to mean?" The two exchanged malic glares as the boy squeezed her arm and jaw with daunting force. "Answer me girl, what was that little comment you just made?!" (Y/n) furrowed her brow as she scowled at the boy with malicious intent.

"One of them already made his move." The girl found slight relief and satisfaction towards the boy's features that were having a difficult time to decide whether to be confounded or enraged beyond his boiling point. Kaito's muscles shook to the brim with emotions that were extrinsic and unfamiliar to the male's senses.

"What?" Barely a whisper, the boy seethed with the unknown sensations as they attempted to pinpoint an exact prognosis of his mental state. "Who?" He spat out his question as he forced his voice to settle, only for it to come out like a warning, challenging the girl to remain unresponsive or give him a bluff. "WHO?!" He shouted in the girl's face, making her push herself further into the flat wall. (Y/n) stared as the boy began deludedly laughing like a hysteric child under denial. The girl froze up as his teal eyes seemed to hold a slew of shuddering feelings that couldn't grasp onto the male's slipping reality. "Now my stupid girl, you will tell me who dared put their lips on you." His voice was shaky but blurred as his last attempt to keep his composure was breaking. The girl could sense the intense trembling from the male's form and began regretting her choice of wording.

"It was Ryo..." The girl could see the male's reality shattering before him as his twitching smile desorbed and dissolved to leave his mouth slightly hanging agape as he remained speechless. As the boy stood on the spot like a statue, the female thought time had frozen for a moment as he tried to comprehend the betrayal he felt towards his dear friend. "Kaito...?" (Y/n) felt an air of uncertainty and anxiety as the silence seemed more fearful. Her breath hitched as the male raised his head to look into the female's eyes with his empty ones.

"Where else...?" (Y/n) blinked a few time in confusion at his question as the boy watched her for an answer. "He touched you here..." The male placed his thumb on her pursed lips and gently stroke them. "Where else did he touch you...?" The girl gulped in turmoil as the boy moved his head to her neck. "Did he touch you here?" (Y/n) coughed out her held-in breath as the boy pushed his lips against her skin. "Or here?" He moved down to osculate a lower level flesh as the female froze to the brim in disbelief. "Or here?" As he crouched lower to place a kiss further down, the girl's palm loudly smacked against his cheek to cease his approach.

"Get a grip! What's gotten into you?!" She shouted at him as her body retracted back and tried to curl up and away from him.

Kaito placed a hand on his stricken cheek and for a moment seemed to have calmed himself down. The female breathed out a sigh of relief as she believed the worst to be over, only to be placed on high alert as the intellectual turned towards her with a wide grin and eyes sparking with deluded life. "Hit me!"

"EH?!" (Y/n) watched, wide-eyed as the boy fearlessly punched the space beside her in a challenging manner, and tilted his head to the side to innocently dare for her to attack.

"Hit me (Y/n)! I want you to hit me!" He grabbed her hand and nonvoluntarily made her fingers wind around his throat as the girl trembled at his action. "Hit me! Punch me! Strangle me! Make me cry! Make me bleed! Make me suffer! I want to witness everything you are capable of! I want you to hurt me! I want you to destroy me!"

The female began hyperventilating as she struggled to decide between choking him or forcing her hand out of his grip. Her nerves trembled and shivered at the sight of the alien side of the boy.

"Go on my darling. I want you to retaliate! It'll make your breaking all the more satisfying to see." The female furiously shook her head as she ripped her wrist away from his neck.

"HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY?! Don't bring me into your deluded world!" The male gave out a lunged laugh that spread throughout the whole house and scarred itself into the girl's mind.

"Crazy? Hahaha!" He brought his chuckling face close to level with the girl's as he stared into her fearful eyes with his interchanging ones. "You call this crazy? But do you want me to show you the state of true insanity?" (Y/n) shoved the boy away as she shakily stumbled further from the twitching boy.

"Don't come near me! Stay away from me!" However, the male approached the female with an unwavering stride as his grin widened at the sight of her anxious form.

"How scared are you? As I said before, I have you all to myself now. No one around to interrupt us...after all, this is what you wanted, right?" He stretched out his arms as though awaiting for the girl's body to be placed in them.

"You...this was all you...you planned this...you made me witness every single fight so I can...I trusted you!" He shouted at him in insulted and shamed anger as the male giggled at her and clapped his hands to congratulate on her figuring.

"Yep...I knew just how much you would switch around your fragile little emotions if I made you witness each little brawl...Have you ever wondered how those puzzle pieces ended up in front of your door on the day you saw Alex and Jin fighting?" The boy watched as a look of realisation dawned on the girl. "I was hoping that would demolish any positive emotions you had towards the two, though you still stuck around Jin. And I was quite happy that Ryo had given you a fright as well. Definitely saved me a lot of time and effort...And I was quite aware of Bako's unstable state, all he needed was the opportunity to be alone with you and leave the rest to his antics." (Y/n) moved back as each uncover visibly made her tremble. "Let me tell ya a little secret: I was the one that ordered for Ren and Jin to go to the hospital. It was so easy to hide my motif behind that suggestion. So with three down, it was only those two left. I wasn't actually going to make my move so early but the moment you left with Ren, I knew very will he'll try something with his uncoordinated state. I deduced that had happened when you didn't return for almost 2 hours. Though I was unsure, there was no harm in asking Jin to go and check up on you. If I was lucky, he would have shown his own imperfections and lo and behold, the luck was incredible! And I was there the whole time, watching as they sent you into further fright and trauma, and just at the moment I prepared to step in, you called out for me."

The girl felt herself choking as she wanted to puke from the fact that she had dared request for his presence at that time, while the boy gave her a pleased and satisfied look as a shaky sigh of pleasure escaped his lungs.

"I couldn't believe how perfect that was...you, calling out for my help. I had to force myself not to react in the way my mind urged me to. It was so amazing. I want to hear it again." He proceeded to approach the female, wistfully watching as the girl backed away in fear. "I want you to scream out my name again (Y/n). I want to know you need me. Come here." He grabbed the female's arm and forced her towards his body and entwined their fingers together as he placed his arm around her waist. "Let us dance! Let me teach you everything about this forsaken world, and remain the gem that can hold me together."

Kaito watched the fearful girl with an excitement that was unnatural to him and readied to allow his body and mind to fully indulge in the chance given to him, only to be frozen in place as a familiar ring emanated through the house. Kaito looked towards the door as his awareness of time returned.

"They're here...damn it, they're earlier than I expected...seems like they couldn't wait to come home to you...Damn it all!" He swiveled his attention to the female with a distressed and panicked expression. "They'll come in soon! They'll take you away from me...they'll take us apart! I-I can't let that happen (Y/n)! You'll never want me near you again, and you'll go back to them!" He roughly gripped her shoulders to force her focus on him. "Why can't you love me?! I can give you so much! I can hand you the world on a silver platter yet you keep rejecting me! No matter how hard I try, what am I doing wrong?! Tell me (Y/n)! I'll give you anything! I'll do everything! Just love-!"

"Kaito! Why weren't answering the door...-" As Ryo entered the building he was stunned at the sight of his friend pressuring the distressed female. The rest of the males entered through the door, distracting the intellectual enough to accidentally allow the female to escape his grasp.

"(Y/n)...?" As he realised the absence of the female in his arms, every one of the boys were alerted by the sounds of clatters originating from the kitchen. The males ran towards the dining area to see the female crouched over against the closed cabinets with her quivering back turned away from the boys. As she turned to face them with a grave expression, she revealed the knife that was tightly clutched in her shaky fingers. "(Y/n), what are you...-?"

"Don't get so frightened, I'm not going to use this on you...unlike you, I have the conscience and shame to not perform such a horrible act...but you will listen to me." She gave the boys a serious and earnest gaze before taking a deep breath to steady her speech, "You will listen to me...all of you, because I'm tired of being ignored...and by that I mean I'm tired of you all pretending like I'm actually enjoying my time here so you can feel better about keeping me like a prisoner. I'm tired of watching you enjoy what you're doing to me and pretending like what I want has no significance as long as I get to fulfill your sick desires!" The female could no longer hold in the trail of tears that she allowed to escape and bring out her pent up sorrow. "I want to go back to my family! I want to see my friends again! I want things to be normal...I want my life back...I want to leave this damn place and have breakfast in my own home...I want to go to the park with Saki and Lala...I want to study with Naomi and Summer...I want to go to school and do the things I love and do the things I hate...!" The female felt herself getting lost in her longing memories as her soul rotted away in her surroundings like a cat left to drown in a bag. "I don't want to regret anymore...I don't want to have this grief any longer...I want to go home...I miss home...I just want to sleep in my own bed...I want to wake up and see my stupid Mew Mew posters, I want to wake up to a normal morning, I want to go down my small and accident-prone stairs, I want to go on my own porch and hide my key away...I want everything else but this..." She glanced towards the speechless males as they searched through their minds for words of comfort or any contradictions to her truthful statements.

(Y/n) sniffled slightly as she wiped away her tears and gazed tears the ground with a contemplative expression. She began harshly inhaling and exhaling as she lifted the knife up to point the tip towards her chest, grabbing the boys' attentions as they stared at her action delusional disbelief. The girl knew they were talking to her and trying to calm her down, but she blocked out each one of their voices until only her and the blade was left in existence.

"I'm tired of everything...I just want it to stop." She plunged the weapon towards her vital spot in one, unhesitant swoop, preparing to embrace her eminent demise.

Droplets of crimson liquid stained the tiles.
