Aono Haru had lost all free will!
He had become a simple human puppet, swaying to all of Kurumu's desires and commands.
"You Bitch!" Akashiya Moka shouted before appearing next to Kurumu in a flash and planting a kick right into her abdomen, sending her flying and causing her to crash into the side of the building.
*Boom*
Kurumu didn't even have time to get up again or do anything for that matter before she felt her wings get torn apart by Moka's forceful grip.
Her expression showed pure despair and harrowing pain as Moka tore her body apart piece after piece.
First, it was her wings, afterwards it was her tail and finally, it was her limbs.
She had already died by the time Moka ripped her head off her shoulders.
Leaving Kurumu merely a pile of bloody limbs on the pavement of the school's terrace.
Tsukune who was meters away had already walked to Haru however no matter how much he shook him, no matter how much he tried to get his older brother to respond.
He received no reply.
With Kurumu already dead, Haru was left without a will, he was simply a shell with no soul of its own.
Moka, in all of her vampiric horror, walked toward the two brothers, a complicated expression on her face which was marred with red blood that dripped onto the floor.
"We have to put him out of his misery Tsukune," Moka said as she walked closer to the two.
"No!" Tsukune said as he got in front of her and spread his arms wide as if he would somehow be able to stop the monster in front of him.
"Tsukune, turn around and tell me if that's your brother or just a shell that's keeping his soul inside like a wretched prison?" Moka said calmly, so unlike her previous showcase of rage.
Tsukune turned around, gazing at his unmoving but still standing brother, and finally, tears dripped down his eyes and down to his chin, finally falling onto the cold pavement below.
"This, this shouldn't have happened, why? Why!!" Tsukune collapsed, his gaze turning unfocused however he did get out of Moka's way, unconsciously.
Deep down, he knew that leaving Haru like he was currently was merely a fate worse than death.
Moka walked to Haru and with one hand pierced through his chest and into his heart.
Ending his life.
The world lost all color.
For a moment, everything stood still and silence engulfed all.
Before a deep resounding sound was heard.
It sounded like mechanical gears spinning.
And immediately after, the world turned on its head as time started to flow backward.
In a flash, everything returned to how it had been hours ago.
It was once more the morning.
Inside of the boy's dorm, inside of Haru's room.
Aono Haru opened his eyes.
"I died. I was manipulated, lost my will and then I died." Haru said, his voice once more sounding completely dull of all emotion as he lay on his bed.
"I'll have to get rid of her somehow, it should be easy, all I have to do is not get controlled by her before Moka ends it," Haru muttered to himself as he got up and mechanically walked to the table by his bedside where he had placed a glass of water.
Downing it all in one go, Haru felt clarity return to his vision once more, as his emotions returned, no longer as dulled as moments before.
"Fucking bitch." Haru uttered as he got ready and headed out, once more doing everything he had done during the previous turn.
At least until he arrived at the scene where Kurumu had appeared.
"Isn't it sad? Getting left behind by your brother because he chose a woman before you." Kurumu Kurono said as she gave a light smile toward Haru.
Haru instead kept his eyes on the ground and nodded his head as he walked toward her.
"Kurumu Kurono correct?" Haru asked as he addressed the blue-haired woman.
"That's right, I'm pleased that you know of my name. Aono Haru." Kurumu said as her lips curled even higher upwards whilst she gazed at Haru who was getting closer to her.
"You know of me?" Haru questioned.
"Of course, you've been the talk of the school, the boy who ruthlessly killed Saizou and became the Principal's assistant on his very first day," Kurumu said, her voice soft as she addressed Haru, clearly trying to sway him to her side.
"I see, and then I have a question for you Kurumu," Haru replied as he finally arrived before her.
"What is it?" Kurumu questioned as she looked at Haru who was still looking at the ground, without lifting his head even once since she had appeared.
"How did you get the courage to think about controlling me?" Haru questioned as his hand snapped forward and grabbed Kurumu's neck.
Lifting her lithe body into the air, Haru still didn't even give her a glance.
"Ugh! What are you doing, put me down." Kurumu said before she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, it being followed by a hot sensation.
Looking down, she saw red, her entire abdomen was already covered in blood, similarly, Haru's left hand which was holding a switch kife was entirely drenched in her blood.
Immediately, Kurmu transformed, a black tail appearing behind her as well as a pair of bat-like wings, her nails extended and became long claws however it was too late.
*Schlik* *Schlik* *Schlik*
Over and over, Haru stabbed her until she felt herself lose all strength in her limbs.
Seeing that she was giving no more resistance, Haru took her into a princess carry and walked down the stairs, directly toward the infirmary of the school.
Tsukune and Moka were left standing with their eyes wide, and terrified expressions on their faces as they tried to understand what had just transpired before their eyes.
When they came to their senses, Haru was long gone, the only thing left in his wake was the pool of blood on the stone terrace.
