" The world I know can break you..."
~*~
Guilt.
~*~
" What do you want to be when you grow up? " Asked Souji when he handed Nanako a cookie and a glass of milk.
The girl cocked her head a little to the left and seemed to think about it.
" I bet she'll gonna be a detective like her dad! " Said Yosuke when he ruffled her hair with his hand.
" Hah! Like I would allow that! " replied a laughing Dojima. " My daughter will chose something that will keep her out of harms way, right Nanako? "
The little girl smiled happily. " No! I want to be a detective when I grow up and I will help everyone in need. If I get in trouble my big bro will come running for me, right? "
This was probably the best picnic he had been to in his whole life. His friends were here, his niece and his uncle... all of his loved ones just sat here sharing stories with each other while they enjoyed the mid summer sun. There was a soft breeze in the wind that tickled their cheeks from time to time, and the chatter of the birds in the background sounded like music to him. He couldn't be happier. All the earthly worries just seemed to disappear when he joined in the jokes.
Still, he had that... gnawing feeling in his stomach. Sure, he loved being here, but what had he been doing before this? His mind felt a bit...foggy.
" Is there something wrong big bro? " Asked Nanako worried. " You don't look so good..."
" Huh? " He scratched the back of his head. " I'm... fine Nanako. uh... are you having fun? "
" mmhmm! Lets stay here forever and ever! "
There was a violent gust of wind and the silverhead did his arm before his face to prevent being showered with grass. When he removed his arm he realized that his friends, uncle and Nanako had disappeared. He stood up and began to look around. His entire surrounding had changed and a soft voice in the back of his head told him that something wasn't right. The sky's color was as red as blood, and the sun had gotten an eerie black color. Where did everyone go?
He began to run and while he did he could hear Nanako screaming somewhere in the distance.
" Nanako! I'm coming for you! " He yelled as hard as he could.
But he didn't.
Instead he began to ran the opposite direction of where he had heard her voice. He really didn't want to do that, but it was like his legs had a mind of their own. They were... running away... like he had done before.
He had left her to die.
>----<
"Morning sunshine "
Souji slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times. Ah, yes, it was a dream. He was here, in the real world, without his niece. She was dead.
wait...
He widened his eyes in shock when he noticed that he was no longer in his own bed. No, he laid on a cool wooden floor in a room that said nothing to him. Wait, nothing? It took him a short while to realize he was no longer in the real world. He was inside the TV! Not only that, he had visited this room before together with Chie and Yosuke. The red noose that came from the ceiling and the chair underneath it... the mutilated posters on the wall... the messy bedroom. This room, the very first room they had visited belonged to---
" Adachi " Snarled Souji.
The young detective sat in front on him. His elbow's leaned on his knees while he sat a little forward so he could see the youth on the floor. In his hands he held his gun-- caressing it like it were a baby.
Souji was in a dangerous situation. He was together with a murderer in the TV were no one ( except for his friends ) could reach him. He was completely cut off from the other world in more ways then one.
To his surprise though he felt that he wasn't bound. Was that a mistake on Adachi's part? Or maybe he simply didn't bother? Well, he didn't care. No, because now he had the chance to lash out at him. He summoned Izanagi from the back of his mind, and his card appeared before him. Just as he was about to reach out and crush it, he saw in a flash how the other man whisked it away.
Shit..!!!Adachi ( now standing ) eyed the card like it was a snake, but he didn't throw it away. He placed it gently in his pocket and a triumphant smile appeared on his lips." I was waiting for you to do that " He said. " It was so obvious of you to try and summon your personae in the hope to attack me. Did you really think I wouldn't see that one coming? "
The boy tried to stand up, but immediately he could feel the loop of Adachi's gun on his forehead.
" On your knees, or I swear to God that I will blast your brains out right here and right now "
Souji bit his lower lip and descended back on his knees. If he wanted to survive it would be wise to listen to the other man. Adachi had become totally unpredictable and who knows what would happen if he disobeyed.
" Good boy. Well then... You have no idea how happy I am to see you! Really, I could just... CRY "
without a warning Adachi grabbed Souji by his throat and slammed him in the wall behind him. The silverhead released a soft yelp and tried to remove Adachi's hands. The other man ignored his futile attempts as he was far too busy to study Souji's expression.
" I should just kill you... You've been a pain in my ass for who knows how long... saving all of my beautiful victims time and time again. It pisses me off sooooo bad! "
The eyes of the murderer lit up for a second.
"...that was the plan until something far better happened. The leader, the savior, came up to the police station and he burned the evidence. And it didn't stop with that, no, I had a blast when he told me he wanted to join me! You! The little fucker that tried everything to stop me! Man, I must admit I was a little bit confused at that time. Was he joking? Or maybe he was just high? I took the gamble and accepted you. Why? Well, because if I didn't things would become boring again. And, you know, I just can't STAND the boredom. That's why I had you come back to Inaba "
Adachi's free hand trailed down to his gun and once he got it he lifted it and placed it harshly ( With the loop facing Souji ) against the boys' chest.
" You see, we are going to play a little game you and I. I want to show you just how much power I have over you. You are my slave Souji, and I'll gladly demonstrate that to you. Get up. "
Adachi withdrew the hand that was choking the boy with and instead he pointed to the chair.
" Go stand on the chair and put the noose around your neck "
Souji's eyes became large when he realized what the other man had ordered him to do. He...He didn't had to hang himself now right...?
He hesitated for a second in the hope that the other man was joking, but when he saw Adachi raising his eyebrows he knew it wasn't a joke. After swallowing a big lump down his throat he stood up and slowly made his way to the chair. He climbed on top of it and he could hear the damn thing squeak beneath he feet. Oh don't give out, just don't give out.
With shaking hands he grabbed the noose and places it around his neck. Almost immediately he felt Adachi began to bind his hands on his back with a rope. This terrified him to no end. If the worst thing were to happen ( and happen it should ) he would have no way to free himself.
When they were tied up he could hear the other man grin, and right then when he began to wonder why Adachi was grinning, he could feel how the chair underneath his feet got kicked away.
In an instant he felt so much pressure around his neck that he could no longer breathe or produce any sound whatsoever. Black spots began to dance before his eyes and he was slowly starting to lose his consciousness. Was this it? Was he going to die here? No, Adachi wouldn't let him die. Not... yet...
....Just as the boy was about to be embraced by the cold arms of death, he felt how his body hit the floor and he could breathe again! He wheezed, gasped, gurgled all at the same time. He could feel hot tears sliding down his cheeks as he welcomed the sweet oxygen into his lungs.
" Pathetic " Snarled Adachi behind him. For some reason he sounded strangely disappointed. " I had hoped you would last longer. Your choking face was rather... sexy to watch. "
" S...Sick...B-Bastard "
" Aaahh Souji... you say the nicest things. Well then, now that I've given you a taste of my power over you, I believe it's time to talk about the game's rules. On your knees bitch. "
While he was still coughing he managed to get on his knees. His gaze however remained focused on the floor-- he could not face Adachi now. He felt so humiliated and he was afraid that if he met Adachi's eyes now he would show that.
" You will carry out every order I will give to you, and if for some reason you decide not to do it there will be a severe punishment waiting for you. However, I am not completely without a heart so if I order something from you, you get exactly three days to complete it. Do you understand what I am saying? "
The boy could only nod.
" Great! Well... I am pretty certain you have been following the news lately and sadly there hasn't been a good murder. So you are going to remedy that. "
Adachi bent forward, grabbed Souji's hair and jerked his head backwards so that their eyes met.
" I want you to kill Naoto. I want you to fuck up the bitch so bad that the whole of Inaba will shit their trousers! "
" W-why...? "
" Your shitty uncle and that bitch have reopened the case. They haven't found anything that will lead to us, but it could happen. I want you to erase that girl from existence, got it? She should've left the case alone. I will leave your uncle alone for now, but you'd better make him stop investigating. For old time's sake I'll be willing to give him one chance. "
The young detective let go of Souji's hair and with a snip of his finger a TV appeared in the room.
" Well, off you go. I will be watching your progress from here, so you'd better not disappoint me. Starting from now you will have three days to complete my request. If you fail I will have you pay dearly, got it? Oh, and I will keep your Personae with me for now. You won't be needed them anyways... Well, good hunting! "
Adachi grinned and pointed towards the TV. This was Souji's cue to leave the other world and return to reality. He stood up and with wobbly legs he stepped towards the TV. He gave Adachi one last glance before he fell into the TV.
