Chapter 8
Brought to you by Noir
My first reaction was denial...
This cannot be. It must be just some sort of mischief.
I mean... Mom and dad were right down there. Being accompanied by sensei, coming back from shopping for groceries. This cannot be.
However, that didn't help me to explain the phenomenon in front of me.
Thinking it was actually, I felt a bit angry. It appeared to me a really nasty joke. I touched the so-called red fluid, which seemed to look like solidified blood.
Thinking that it was some gelatin or sauce, I went ahead and tasted it.
It tasted like iron...
I felt cold sweats appearing once again. I looked at my hands again.
"Was this really blood?"
I don't remember for just how long that question continued playing in my mind.
When I suddenly heard the door open.
It was my sister.
My eyes must have looked blank, as Kei solidified immediately after looking at me.
There was no confusion or horror, not even sadness.
"Kei, tell me this is just one of the nasty pranks you play with me every time."
I felt something escape my right eye. It must have been some water. I don't know.
"Nii-san. This is. This is all just."
"This is all your prank, right?"
"---Yes, Nii-san."
"I knew that. ahahaha, still, this is taking it a little too far, don't you think?"
"I am sorry."
"Why are you apologising Kei?"
"No... I--- I just... Felt like it."
"Aren't you cute, my little sister."
"Nii-san... Why do your eyes feel empty? You also sound empty."
"Ahahaha, you are just overthinking."
I try to get up but fall immediately.
"Arre? ahahaha, I must have lost the strength from my legs."
However, I couldn't stand up.
Moreover, I vomit.
"Sorry, Kei... The stench must have got me there. I will clean it asap."
I forced myself to stand and, somehow, with wobbly legs, went out of the room.
Kei didn't stop me. She was still hanging her head down. She didn't even look straight into my eyes.
Probably, by now, it had appeared to me... I must have already accepted.
That this all was all real, everything until now.
I went down to the washroom to wash my face up. Suddenly, I heard Sensei and Kei's voices discussing what to do from the washroom.
"I think it's about time. We have to tell him the truth."
Truth? What truth?
"No ---what if Nii-san doesn't listen. What if he denies all that we tell."
"We can show him the evidence."
"No... No, no, no, no, no. If Nii-san leaves me... If he also leaves me, I won't know what I will leave for anymore. No, I can't take that option."
"Then, will you test the drug on him now?"
- --- Drug?!
I felt an ominous feeling with those words.
"Maybe, its success ratio is also good. I don't think it will harm him."
"You might want to reconsider. Will Eita be the same afterward?"
"It doesn't matter. I will make sure Eita loves me. Whether as a sister or, better, like we had promised each other, as a lover."
I felt like vomiting again.
I had this sudden urge to escape.
And I did.
After taking a knife from the kitchen.
I immediately went out of the washroom. And ran out. I ran to the Train station.
However, the next train was a good time later.
I had visible sweat on my forehead.
"Are you OK?"
"Hiii!"
"--S--sorry."
My spirit seemed broken.
All seemed unreal.
Everyone seemed like they were enemies.
"Nii-san!" "Eita-san!"
"No."
I start running away.
However, wherever I went, they would be immediately there astonishingly.
I felt dizzy. I went near a lamp post and vomited again.
"Eita-san! Please listen!" "Nii-san! Please, Please."
I had to prepare myself. I hid the knife under my clothes and appeared exhausted, totally tired, and lost.
"Nii-san"
"ARRRGHHH!!"
As she grew near, I got near her and stabbed her right in the stomach.
"U--guh... Nii"
She had this pained expression on her face, with blood coming out of her mouth as well. However, she suddenly changes into a smile.
That smile appeared so near yet far.
It looked ethereal.
She comes close to me and hugs me with those fragile hands.
"Mom an--- *guha had already died Nii-san. Sorry ---haaa ---haaa. Sorry for hiding this till now. Sorry Nii"
Her hands went lifeless.
"Kei?"
I was forced to return to sanity with that exchange.
I held her shoulders and, separating a bit, looked at her face.
Her eyes were still open
but lifeless.
"K--"
I --- I had already lost my Parents...
And now, I killed my sister.
"WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!"
I hugged my sister hard and started crying.
I cried loudly. I screamed so very loud.
And then my eyes went towards the knife with which I stabbed Kei.
I take out the knife, and more blood comes out.
Distant memories replay in front of my eyes, as I remember how Kei was when she slowly grew up.
"Mou! Nii-san."
"Nii-SAN!"
"Nii-san?"
"Nii-sa--an..."
And then, after those cute moments,
That ultimate reality hit me right there. Where she was unable to complete calling me.
"Nii..."
ARRRRGGGGHHHHH
Those memories continue to replay as I screamed in pain...
"I hate being born into this family!"
"Why... Do you hate this brother of yours?"
"IT'S THE OPPOSITE... If you say you won't laugh, I will tell you."
"OK."
"It's a promise, OK!"
"Yeap."
"I want to marry you, Nii-san. And under a snowy night under a lamp post, Share a long hot baiser."
Those memories recall. While I still cried out loud.
I felt calm after a long cry...
As I looked at my lifeless sister once more.
I recall that last wish, then say.
"I don't know if it will snow... But."
I think I am sane...
"We are under a lamppost now."
I took those lifeless lips of my sister.
And did the deed. A long deep one.
And with her cold, fragile hands, had me stab myself. Still kissing.
(Thank you Nii-san)
I must be Hallucinating... I could hear voice of my little sister. ahahaha.
Blood came up my mouth as it went into my sister's lifeless mouth, I thought she gulped it in.
A marriage contract of blood.
A marriage made after death. Which even death can't do us apart.
I felt happy. I slowly felt my eyelids heavy as I sit on my legs, and seperate my sister away for a bit.
Looking at my new bride.
"Eita!"
"Sen---sei..."
"Call the ambul----- --ei!!!!"
And lost conscience...
