chapter fifty two: mortuus danaus plexippus

When you step out of the bedroom, you walk down the hall and find the rest of the group chatting in the kitchen. As you approach, Suna's eyes meet yours, though he doesn't say a single word as you walk right past.

"Hey, Y/N," Kenma smiles softly as he holds out a plate of rice and eggs. "Have some breakfast."

"Thanks," you return the gesture as you accept the plate. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"Fine," he shrugs. "And you?"

"Um, a bit tired still, but I'll be alright," you half-lie.

"Yeah, I can see it in your eyes. You look exhausted," he says as he takes a closer look at you. From your other side, you then hear a scoff. When you turn around, you see Suna walking out of the kitchen.

"What's his deal?" you hear Hinata question as Suna opens the door to the bathroom and steps inside.

"I don't think he liked the sleeping situation last night," Osamu chimes in.

"Well it's not like I live in a freaking resort," Hinata huffs, taking Osamu's comment way too personally.

"You know what, let's just forget about this whole thing," you interrupt before the conversation gets even more complicated. "Can we eat and go already? Hinata, do you have the weapons?"

"Yeah, yeah, I got 'em, just give me a sec to get them from the garage, okay?" he nods.

"I'll go help," Oikawa chimes in, and together they walk off.

Less than an hour later the truck is loaded with Hinata's guns and the seven of you jump inside. Then, before eight in the morning, you're camped outside your old bus.

"So, what's the plan now?" Kageyama asks as he passes you Hinata's .30 caliber rifle.

"Me, Kenma, and Osamu are going in there. The rest of you guys need to camp outside and make sure he doesn't try to escape. If he does, you've got to bring him straight to me, okay?" you say as you look over at Suna who's listening intently.

"Still planning to take the kill shot?" he asks you.

"Yeah, I am. So, if you see him, don't aim to kill," you respond.

"Okay," he nods as he looks away. You then turn back to Kenma and Osamu, looking to see if they're ready. When they are, the three of you run quietly toward the camp's gate. Osamu unlocks it and the three of you make your way inside.

"Does he still sleep in our old room or is he back in the bus?" you ask as the three of you stop behind the garden for coverage and to regroup.

"It depends," Kenma shrugs as he looks over at Osamu.

"During the day he's in the bus. But I doubt he's awake this early," Osamu agrees.

"Okay, then we'll head toward his room. If he's not there, we'll go for the bus," you nod. Once the decision is made, you continue to run swiftly and quietly.

When you get outside the little fort you had made with Bokuto, your stomach churns. You've never killed someone, let alone have gone to all this length to do it.

Osamu puts up three fingers and counts down slowly. When he gets to one, he bursts open the door and you rush inside. You look around quickly, only to find that it's completely empty.

"Shit," you whisper angrily as you kick the corner of the cot you used to share with Bokuto. "That damn asshole knows we're here."

"I'd say so," Kenma agrees as he points over to the pair of broken crutches in the corner. "Jesus, how do you even break crutches? Aren't they like industrial strength?"

"Dude is insane," Osamu scoffs as he shakes his head. "We've gotta get out of here."

"Let's head toward the bus. If he ran, one of the others would see him. Come on," you nod to the two of them before cautiously walking out.

The three of you then begin your mad rush to the bus. You repeat the same process as you had previously done before bursting into your own bus. And just like last time, Bokuto is nowhere to be found.

"God damn it!" you shout this time as you walk out of the bus. "I'm going to fucking kill that prick!"

"Oh yeah?"

When you hear another's voice, you look around and see Bokuto being carried over by Suna who's got a gun to Bokuto's head.

"Do it then," Bokuto spits out with a wicked grin.

"Y/N, you don't have to kill him," Suna scoffs. "Don't give him the satisfaction."

"Hey, Y/N, you know what me and Mr. I Don't Give A Shit About Anything have in common?" Bokuto laughs, knowingly provoking you to get his torture over with quickly. "We both-"

But before Bokuto can finish, Suna shoots Bokuto in the back. Bokuto falls to his knees, clutching his back as he shouts out in pain.

"Did you want to finish that sentence?" Suna asks from behind Bokuto. "I can add another hole to your other side."

"That's good, Rin," you tell Suna as you step closer. "He's right. I want to kill him so fucking badly, but I don't think that's going to resolve anything for me. I'm going to leave the kill shot to Osamu and Kenma."

As you step to the side, allowing Osamu and Kenma to get a clear view of Bokuto, their eyes follow you to the side.

"You mean it?" Osamu asks.

"Are you sure you don't want to?" Kenma adds.

"He's all yours, boys," you smile. "Have at-" you begin. However, before your sentence is over, the two of them aim straight at Bokuto's head and shoot. Suna makes sure to get out of the way just in time before Bokuto's body finally lands straight on the ground.

"That was quick," you chuckle. "Nice job."

"Asshole always talked too much," Kenma scoffs. "Let's get him the fuck out of here."

You nod and the four of you drop your weapons. You then begin to drag him toward the back of the camp by the woods. When you get outside the camp, you stop at the lake where Bokuto himself had built the small memorial for the others.

"Count of three let's dump him in," Osamu says as he adjusts his grip on Bokuto's arms.

Three seconds later, after one loud splash, the four of you watch Bokuto's body sink to the bottom of the lake.

"Guess we'll need to find a new fishing spot," Kenma sighs.

"There's more than one lake around here," you laugh softly as you nudge him in the side. "We'll be alright, Kenma. Now let's go back and give the news to the other. Hopefully they're not shitting themselves after hearing all those shots."
