Akemi.

Blood spilling all over the floor. Doon pakang rumehistro sa utak ko na he's been shot. Bakit niya ginawa yun?! This freaking stupid jerk! That bullet was meant for me, hindi sa kanya!

Napaluhod ako, my knees were trembling. Hindi ko na nangyari ang nasa paligid ko but the firing stopped. Ewan ko kung kusang tumigil o napatigil. Pinikit ko ang dalawa kong mga mata, all I can see is red right now. I'm clouded by anger.

Tumayo ako at naglakad patungo kina Sir Hayate na ngayon ay hawak-hawak si Ariel. That woman. Hinila ko siya mula sa pagkakahawak, kinaladkad ko siya and I slammed her back at the wall. Hawak hawak ko ang collar niya.

"Who made you do this?! Who made you a killer?! Sagutin mo ako!" I held her collar tighter, pinipigilan na nila ako but I dodged them off. "Who made you a fool?! Huh, who made you a liar?! Alam mo bang sobrang saya ko when I thought I finally had a freaking sister? Pero, ano! Damn, it was just a big lie!"

"Akemi!" sigaw ni Sir Hayate.

She smirked at me, "I made myself a killer, I made myself a fool. I lied to you, big time. But I have reasons."

"Tell me those reasons! Ano ba 'yon?! Are your reasons worth someone's life?" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

"None of your business."

"Why, you-"

Pinigil ko ang sarili ko. Kapag ba sinaktan ko siya, would that heal Hiro? Kung bang sinampal ko siya ng pagkalakas-lakas would that stitch up the wounds? Hindi, revenge is not an option here. Binaba ko ang kamay ko and she laughed her heart out. Kahit gaano pa kasama ang tao, they don't need to be slapped.

Inalis ko ang pagkakahawak ko sa collar niya at tinulak siya papalayo.

"Umalis ka na." sabi ko at tumalikod.

"Why? Can't hit me? Bakit mo pa tinawag ang sarili mong detective kung may kinakatakutan ka?"

"You, don't you fear anything?"
