A door was then heard opening. "Kunikuzushi?! What did you do to Miko?!"

3rd person POV

   Miko clutched her stomach in pain. She quickly changed her expression from hate filled to a face that looked like she was about to break down in tears. "Oh, Ei! Look at what he did!" She cried out. Ei shot a glare at Kunikuzushi whom stood, trembling, of course; in the fear that Ei would do something. In all honesty, of course he was innocent.

   Ei ran over to Miko, not bothering to acknowledge the blood seeping out (can he even bleed lmao 😭) of his neck. "He stabbed me for no reason, Ei! Why would you trust him?!" Miko sobbed as Ei held her in her arms. Kunikuzushi's eyes widened. A feeling he's come extremely familiar with coming back to him. The feeling he abhors. Yet, a feeling he's felt a few times too many. Betrayal.

   "You liar! You fucking liar!" Kunikuzushi sobbed, almost falling to the ground. Miko glared at him. "How could I possibly lie about a stab wound, hm?" Miko said, dropping the act.

   You caught onto this. You noticed how she was fine after Kunikuzushi had accused her. You focused your eyes at Miko, who looked completely fine. You then trailed over to Kunikuzushi, whom you noticed had an extremely deep cut on his neck. It definitely wasn't an accidental one. It was used by a knife.

   "Ei.." You said quietly. Ei hadn't heard you and she set Miko down gently before standing in front of Kunikuzushi. And she towered over him. "I let you come back into my domain and you pull shit like this? Who do you think you-" "Ei!" You yelled, interrupting her. "Huh? What is it my love?" Ei asked sweetly. "I don't mean to say this but..I think Kunikuzushi is innocent in this." You sighed, swallowing hard as you noticed Miko's head abruptly turn to you. Even Kunikuzushi looked shocked that you were standing up for him. "Darling that-" "It does make sense, Ei. Think about all the details." You explained.

   After about five minutes, Ei had nodded. "It seems you're correct, darling. Sorry for doubting you. And.. I'm..sorry, Kunikuzushi." Ei whispered the last part. "It's..okay. I guess."

   Miko shot daggers at everyone. "This is ruining my plan! You asshole!" She yelled angrily before launching at Kunikuzushi. Who couldn't even say anything.

   Miko had sliced his throat open, brutally. "M-Miko what the hell?!" You and Ei both yelled. "Haaahh..." She let out an empty laugh as she stood above the unconscious Kunikuzushi. "Y-you- did you kill him?!" You gasped, tears forming in your eyes. "He got in the way of my plan. Though, he would've died either way. Now..I know I won't be forgiven for this so..."

   Miko smirked devilishly as she trailed off. She grabbed the knife and pointed it towards her own neck. "Goodbye my friends~" She winked before stabbing herself in the throat multiple times, blood spewing out of the huge stab wound on her neck. She then fell limp to the floor, blood still pouring out of her demolished throat.

   "N-no wait! Please!" You sobbed, Ei held you back as you had both watched the gruesome sight. Ei sighed. Why wasn't she feeling anything about this? For her own creation, who she considered her son, and for her best friend to die in front of her? She didn't feel anything. In fact, in a way, she felt.. happiness.

   "Shh...it's alright.. it'll all be okay.." Ei whispered into your ear. "It'll..all be just fine." She smirked. "You'll be just fine with me. And me alone." Ei rubbed your tears away. "Now, let's leave this place, okay?" She smiled at you. You nodded.

   You two walked into town. It was gloomy and no one was around. You had wondered why. Ei had been acting...quite suspicious. You two walked in silence, Ei's hand gripping yours and refusing to ever let go. It's as if she was...refusing to let you leave her. Not allowing you to be three feet away from her. Which was..weird. Normally, she'd let you trail off on your own but this time you weren't aloud to let go of her hand.

   "Ei...?" You asked nervously. "Hmm?" She hummed. "Is something.. wrong?" You asked her. "Of course not, my love~" A devilish tone was in her voice, as she gripped onto your hand harder. "Ei..this..this is getting weird. Can you please let go of my hand..?" You asked nervously. With those words Ei stopped. You gulped nervously.

   "Haaah....there's only a few people left in the way..and then...and then it will just be us. Us together forever!" Ei mumbled, blushing immensely, gripping your hand. You looked around nervously. What had gotten into her?

   Ei started laughing. Intensely laughing. "Ohh, and here she comes. I knew she'd be after you so..." Ei trailed off as you heard footsteps running towards the two of you. Ei let go of your hand gently before smirking devilishly yet again. She giggled, putting her hand over her mouth.

   "Ahh, let the fun begin~" She said, amused.
