Chapter 106 - Chapter 105

You slowly lower the pole to the ground and hold your hands up. Your heart starts beating really fast when you notice it's Kisaki pointing a gun at you.

"Were you the one who broke in through the back door...?" You slowly ask. Kisaki furrows his eyebrows. 

"No." He blankly answers.

"Is there a reason why you're pointing a gun at me?" You softly ask, slowly turning in his direction. Kisaki glares at you, holding the gun firmly in his hands. Your eyes slowly wander around the room. Did Hikari not come home? You question.

"I've been wanting to talk to you... Yuki." Kisaki says.

"Yeah? Did you have to bring a gun to do so?" You ask. Kisaki slightly smiles, still pointing the gun at you. Your eyes stop at a shopping bag on the counter that has a bag of flour in it. Flour is falling out of the flour bag. Your eyes slowly drift back towards Kisaki and you take a deep breath, resting your hand on the counter. 

"I have a question..." You ask. "Before you shoot me..."

"Mmm..."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you have to do that?- why did you have to do what you did to Emma..." You slowly ask.

"I have to do whatever it takes to reach my goal-"

"Why does your goal consist of killing Emma? I don't care if you kill me... but Emma?"

"..." Kisaki doesn't reply, causing you to furrow your eyebrows. You slowly move your hand into the bag.

"Answer one more question... for me." You slowly say as your hand grabs at the flour leaking out. You grab a handful.

"Sure..." Kisaki listlessly answers.

"What exactly is your goal?" You ask. Kisaki stares at you for a bit before smiling and taking a deep breath.

"Don't you already know...?"

"... what are you talking about."

"You were the one who gave me the idea..."

"What?"

RIIING RIIING

The sound of a phone ringing from the bedroom causes Kisaki to look away. That was your chance. You take the handful of flour and threw it at Kisaki. He flinches and covers his face as the flour gets everywhere. You grab the entire bag, quickly rip it open and throw it over into his direction. You grab the mop pole and wack him with it. He falls backwards into the wall making it the perfect opportunity to run. You run down the stairs and towards the back but as you grab the doorknob, a loud bang and wood exploding around you causes you to flinch. You quickly look to see a flour covered Kisaki pointing the gun at you. You duck and hurry towards the bakery, knocking down as many tables as you can as you move towards the bakery door. 

Kisaki hurries down the stairs behind you. You duck behind one of the tables, the one closest to the bakery door. You scrunch up your face as the strong fermented smell makes you want to gag. Your eyes tear up as you wish you can breathe in fresh air.

"I'm not going to play this dumbass game with you Yuki..." Kisaki says. You sit quietly, looking at the door to the bakery. You have no idea where he is, causing your heart to hurt. You slowly tilt your head outward to see Kisaki looking behind on of the tables. You push yourself behind another table, going the opposite direction of Kisaki.

"You know- I've always hated everything about you." Kisaki slowly starts. "You aren't anything special yet... everyone apparently likes you..." He chuckles as he looks behind another table. "Hinata always followed you around like you were some kind of idol... yet I saw nothing special about you."

"..." You furrow your eyebrows and lean out again, to see where he was but you notice he was facing in your direction. You quickly move away as fast and quiet as you could. Kisaki points the gun in the spot where you were but then looks away when he sees you aren't there anymore. 

"... a rockstar... is what she called you-" He slowly says. "I never understood it... how could anyone like you- you're a nobody..." He scoffs. "Always in the way when it was me and Hinata... where did you even come from? Not only were you always there but you were the reason she loved that crybaby-"

"..." You furrow your eyebrows looking in the direction of the back of the bakery. Maybe if you went to the back he wouldn't suspect you moved back there. You can leave out the back door and run as far and fast as possible. 

"When you showed up again... after I found out you had some affiliation with Toman- I was going to have someone kill you... but" He smiles, quickly pointing a gun behind another table. "Mi-key... fell in love with lil ol rockstar..." You hear his footsteps moving further from you. You slowly peak your head out to see where he was. When you notice his back was towards you, you quickly crawl behind the bakery bar. You cover your mouth trying to make as little noise as you can as you try to relax your heart rate.

"Everyone likes you... too much... so- getting rid of you may be the best thing I could do. Making Izana like you was easy... you had that charm... making others like you- so drawing him towards you was a great way to fuel his anger more for Mikey. Then killing you and Emma... I call that checkmate. At that point- everything is within grasp." He slowly turns back towards your direction.

"You ask what my goal is... My goal is to be on top. To be the leader of the biggest gang of all Tokyo-" He continues. You furrow your eyebrows. Your eyes drift towards a box in the corner, a bit from you. It's a box with a flower label on it. You slowly scootch over towards it, but as you do the fermented smell gets even stronger. You scrunch your face as you slowly move closer to it. Since when do we get flowers for the bakery... and why does it smell so strong?  You question.

"... That goal sounds familiar... doesn't it?" Kisaki asks. You stop towards the box, slowly opening it. "It was also Takemichi's goal." You pause when you look in the box. There's a smaller box inside it, the box has such a strong smell that you gag causing Kisaki to turn towards the bakery bar. Why is this here? You question. You look up to see Kisaki walking closer to the bakery bar from a reflection in a jar above you. You furrow your eyebrows and cover your nose.

 "... what does Takemichi's goal have anything to do with why you're doing this?" You say in a muffled tone. Kisaki stops moving, still holding the gun in his hand.

"... just like you... Takemichi is a nobody... yet Hinata liked him- I don't understand how someone like her... could ever love a pathetic excuse of a human like him..." He slowly starts moving forward causing you to quickly move from that spot towards the door.

"He always spoke about how he's going to be the biggest delinquent of Tokyo... like that was something to worship... but Hinata blushed over that-"

You reach the door and then stop when you see the door creek open a bit.

"So... from then onward- I was going to be better than Takemichi-... and you..." Kisaki appears from in front of the bar, pointing his gun at you. "won't ruin things for me again."
