The List

Part Three

I had two days till I had to kill Ama. I was a wreck. What if things didn't go according to plan? What if Hikaru saw it was me? There were so many flaws and I didn't even realise it till today. Ama's self defence was good, so kidnapping her on the seventeenth wouldn't be easy. Another complication was the fact that Hikaru would not leave her alone, he might not even take the bait.

'Everything is ready Mizuki. You have two days to rest easy before all our planning will be set into motion.' I look at her. She has dark circles under her eyes. Lying to Hikaru had been hard enough for her, and she had been busy making it so the school couldn't see the profile, but students, including us, could see it. That way the teachers couldn't trace the creators back to us, which Lila had made sure they would only be capable of on their computers.
'You look tired Lila. You should have told me I was pushing you too hard. Get some sleep.' I get up and lead her to her room. She sniffs. I can tell she's getting sick. Damnit, was this all really worth it? Did this poor girl deserve to go? I shake my head. I can't be getting second thoughts now.
'Off to bed. If you don't go to sleep now I will know.' I warn her and she nods, stumbling over to her bed. Once she's tucked herself in I can hear her snoring away. I smile and shut the door, then head back to my own room to think. On the profile, it had said Yuno was theatrical, meaning I would have to act theatrical, but how? I had a good voice, I knew that, so maybe I could..... turn it into a show. I knew the perfect song. There were many versions of it, but the rock version was suited perfectly to this. I get to work, planning how I'll do it.

Today was the day. Today was the day Yuno would really come to life. In the restaurant I can see Ama and Hikaru. Hikaru looks nervous, while Ama seems oblivious. Perfect.
'We're ready to go.' Lila whispers. In Ama's drink, Lila had slipped a potion that would make her desperate to go to the bathroom. Once Ama would leave for the bathroom, I would follow in pursuit once Hikaru had looked away. I was already in the dress and boots, and I had the mask hidden in a little bag I carried. Sure enough, after taking a sip of her drink Ama excuses herself and quickly heads to the bathroom. Hikaru watches her until the ladies door closes, then he turns his head back to his food. I get up and walk as quick as I can, calming when I enter the bathroom and the door closes behind me. I slip on the mask and wait for Ama to come out. Exactly as I had hoped, there was no one else in the bathroom and the door was now locked thanks to Lila. But the window was open to the back alley where the entrance to the basement was. Finally Ama exits the stall, and I grab her, covering her mouth with..... actually, it's just a cloth with some sort of liquid gas thing on it. After a moment of struggling she falls into my arms, unconscious. I drag her over to the window and throw her out of it. I leap out, landing perfectly on my feet in front of her. I lean down and pick up her arm, dragging her down to the door, and rolling her down the stairs. In the basement, I have all my tools and a chair I can tie her to. Hidden, there were a ton of speakers. Now all I had to do was wait.
