Ray
"It feels...so wrong." Lisa mumbled as tears ran out of her eyes.
"Without Aiko...how can I live? Even if it's just... Few days.." She cried
"I'm sorry...brother." She looked at Aiko's picture on her phone screen,
As her hand slipped under her pants...she...
Chapter 33: Ray
Morning, At the hotel
It struck bright morning.
A beautiful girl, lush wavy hair with and attractive figure, had no clothes on her.
Sfx: curtain open
As she open the curtains of her hotel window, ensuring no one's looking by, she hugged herself to a pillow.
"Oh my~" She looked at her fellow lover- no, toy. She looked at something she had used all night.
"Zzz..." A blank face groaned in his sleep, as he was unable to move a single muscle.
Poke!
"AAAH!" Ryou screamed as he woke up
"UWAAH!" She Panicked
"WHY ARE THE CURTAINS OPEN-" Ryou panicked.
"So I can get light, hm?~" Aimi said in a playful voice, for she was energetic, and composed. As always.
"It's not that!"
"Then what?"
"Nude! We are nude!" Ryou blushed
"Aww..." Aimi patted Ryou's face, as she buried her bare chest onto his face, she said
"Is someone being shy~"
Suddenly, Ryou hugged Aimi back, laying his muscular hands over her smooth body, as he whispered.
"It's- uh...they could look at you too, right?" Ryou said in an embarassing tone~
"UH-" Aimi was in blushes. She was caught off-guard~
Sfx: Pull
"HA- IT'S NOTHING-" Aimi pulled herself as she got shy, she pulled onto Ryou's blanket and covered herself with it, chuckling a bit in the process-
"HEY! I'M NAKED HERE- HELP!!!" Ryou's blanket was taken away! His shame was bare visible!
.
.
.
In Tokyo, At Ryou's mansion
Sfx: ring
"Huh? It's a phone call?" Alice picked it up.
Sfx: yawn
"Hah.... Who could call us at this time? Yawns" Minoru said while sleepy.
"Hello, it's Alice-"
"Make sure Ryou's Mansion is cleared out of any suspicions as soon as possible. But keep hold of his bank account and do NOT allow him to sell out any of his properties."
"What the hell? Who do you think you are-"
"Ah, I forgot to tell you. Here's the hint, I'm looking for 'Miko', the one my son loved."
"Oh, we get it. But for that-"
"Yes, you would get another load of money exactly after a few days. Don't worry."
"Got it."
"Who was it?" Minoru stood up as he arched his back, stretching himself.
"Ah, it was him again." Alice said worriedly.
As soon as Minoru heard her words, he got tensed and nervous. He asked-
"Wait. What did he say?!"
"He asked us to clear this mansion out of the suspicion but not let his bank account be accessible." Alice explained
Minoru out his hands on his chin, and put up a smug face afterwards.
"That's not the main concern. What's the money this time?"
"Ah, it's actually coming in a few days, it seems." Alice looked happy.
"Woah, nice!"
Sfx: drop
Thud!
Suddenly, Alice dropped herself onto Minoru.
"Agh!"
"Well, we have been collecting the money for so looong!"
"Yeah- I know that- could you please-"
"After this money game, we will leave this country and live happily in the west! Right?"
"Of course, Alice. We will." Minoru hugged Alice back.

At the Hotel room
Sfx: zip
"Even here?!" Ryou was furious.
"Yes, ofcourse. I can't trust other girls, what if they come and talk to you?" Aimi said while she put on her coat and hat, as she checked herself in the mirror.
"Ah, this part is still pretty loose."
She leaned in further to tie Ryou's wrists even tighter.
"AGH!"
"Was I too right? Hm?" Aimi said with a teasing voice.
"It's not that! Agh! You're stepping on my inner thighs!" He exclaimed!
"OH-"
It struck afternoon.
"Mmmf! Gaaaghh!" Ryou's mouth was tied, his hands were tied along with his legs. He was given bunch of pictures of Aimi.
Sfx: door open
*Creaaaak
"Ah, please miss me, okay?~" Aimi said as she left.
.
.
.
Outside the Hotel room, corridor.
[Aimi's Perspective]
In a few months, I'll soon be nineteen,
And wouldn't he be twenty-one?
"It's time we get married around soon, and with this, I'll clear his name aswell. Then, we will live happily~"
This is my daily life, as of now. I'm loving it~
Currently, I need to talk to my brother Ray, who's in jail.
My aim? It's to get a statement out of him, and connect him to the death of Rosa, and the others.
And that's how, My dear love would be proven innocent.
"However, well- let's not say it aloud." I speak my lips, as I wonder
Have I breaked him enough?
"If he goes back to normal life, would he get normal to being a Master? I think I should keep up the act for a longer period. I must make him dependent on me~"
"Make dependent who, young girl?~" Two men approach me.
Sfx: stare
"If you would like to become my source for two days, sure. Come at me. I'll be more than happy to kill you right now." I tell them, as my face remains cold.
"Hey! What the fuck? What a weirdo-" The men walk away.
"Tsk."
Who do they think they are? How dare they look at me that way? I'm already someone's bride. I need to kill kill kill kill kill
"NO- I MUSTN'T-" I grab my head and stop myself.
What would my future husband think of me if he sees me killing so openly?
After all, we are still on that contract, aren't we?
For each life I spare, he surrenders himself to me for the day.
Wasn't it this? I will go back to it after this.
Fufu~
.
.
.
At the street
"Ah, where do you wish to go?" The taxi driver asks.
"To Narita Jail."
.
.
.
At the Taxi
"So, who's in there?" The driver tries to ignite a conversation.
Aimi remains silent, though she decides to utter a single word.
"Brother."
"Ah, we had another fella who wanted to see his brother in the Jail too!"
"Hm?" Aimi became curious.
"What was his name?" She asks.
"Ah? He was such a talkative fellow! He told me his name but I forgot it! The man he was look to see was... I don't know, Ray?"
To this, Aimi's eyes widen in horror
"Oh..."
The driver easily sees the horrified face of Aimi, but doesn't make a fuss about it.
"Here's your Destination."
"Thanks. Keep the change."
As Aimi leaves the car, the man sighs
"Oh God dang, weird people huh. Aiko, I won't do this again!"
As the driver pulls out a phone from his pocket, as he was in a call with somebody,
"Well, thanks man. I'll appreciate it!" Aiko hungs up the call.
.
.
.
At the Jail Cell
Sfx: door open
*Creaaaak
"Somebody's came to visit you."
"Agh, that makes it the third person!" Ray sighs in frustration.
"Why? It's a hot maiden out there, I'm sure you'd enjoy your conversation this time."
Ray's eyes widen in horror as he hears the word 'maiden'.
He leans onto the guard
"Hey! What the hell!" The guard screams
"Please!! Who the hell is it?!"
"It's Somebody named Aimi! Now get off!"
POW! PUNCH! KICK!
"CRAZY BASTARD!" The guard sighs as he beat up Ray, and proceeds to drag him to the room to talk with Aimi.
.
.
.
At the interrogation room
"If something wrong happens, I'll give him this bento!" A cute looking girl says, as she wishes to see her brother. She eagerly holds a bento box in her hands.
"Ah! Ray! You're here!"
Ray comes forward, still a bit hesitant. But replies.
"Yo."
"What have they done to you? Oh brother, please, accept this." She puts forward the bento.
"I do not wish to take this." Ray's eye horrified.
"Ah? Is that so..."
"I meant, why would I? I shall let my sister know her answers before, isn't it?"
"Onee-san, you're always so cool!" Aimi praises Ray.
What seemed like an average separated Brither-Sister conversation, was actually deeper than it looked.
"So, let's begin."
"Okay." Ray sat down.
"Firstly, let's recall why you're here."
"I remember it all very well. You shot down Yuuki that night, and left me with his dead ass. Making it look like I killed two policemen, a person in jail, and Yuuki."
Aimi ot her hands together as she did a little clap.
"Very well!"
She went to the next thing she had to say.
"Would you like to know why I shot Yuuki?"
"Not really, I'm in jail anyways..."
"Well, As you know I had always knew Yuuki loved that bitch, Miko." Aimi sighed
To this, Ray was surprised.
"You knew??!"
"Yes, so I contacted Yuuki. Infront of Ryou, we made it seem like I hate Yuuki because he always flirts with me. While behind the scenes, I provided Yuuki with a plan."
"And what was the plan?"
"Ah, I provided his father, Michael, with the money. Then I appointed YOU, to human traffick Miko. Miko would then be SOLD to Michael, since he's a big businessman, and Yuuki is his son, he would get the one he wants, Miko."
"But..." Ray was confused.
He added. "WHY? Why did you do it?"
"Ah, to simply get rid of Miko. That's all."
"And why would do that?"
"You know who I am, don't you, brother?"
.
.
.
And awkward silence took place
"Now, onto the main part. Have you met anyone before me?" Aimi was serious.
"Ah, no? I haven't met anyone before you came here."
"You didn't meet anyone yesterday either?"
"Nope."
"Well, I asked this because... There will be two detectives on their way to interrogate you. Im afriad you'll have to 'modify' your answers to them. Don't let them catch my actions."
"But how does it even matter?" Ray was confused.
"Well, you see, if they get the information of my plan related with Yuuki, they will know that for me to pass each day, I need to kill a person."
Ray went silent. Then he said
"Don't play dumb. That's only the half-part, and they know it probably, till now."
To this, Aimi smiled and said.
"Waa~ that's a good brother!!"
She added
"Ofcourse, I only need to kill somebody to pass a day, when I'm in love with a person. Only then this curse affects me." She said as she sighed.
"And that day, when you're parents were killed-" Ray recalled the Middle School Massacre.
"Ah, that day, I experienced the same day over eight times, and that's how I got to know about this curse"
"But you weren't in love with anyone, so how?"
"Well, do you remember who provided me with the
"Ah, well, thank you for giving me your time. Dear brother~"
"Ah, no problem." Ray shrugged.
"Well, please accept this bento as my gratitude. I hope you get released sooner~"
"Bye!!" And, Aimi left..
In the Jail cell
[Ray's Perspective]
What you don't realise, Aimi, is that you're making a blunder.
Sfx: box open
Thuk
"Let's eat it."
I put together my chopsticks, and stuff it into my mouth.
"Nom nom... It's tasty!"
As I chew, I thought to myself
"Aimi, you're already making a huge blunder... Realise it. Stop losing yourself over Ryou. Only you'd regret it further. We both know the end of the curse, don't we?"
I saw a letter in the bento
"Huh?"
It wrote
Well then, my dear brother, shall I end your curse? For we, were the cursed siblings.~
"Ah..my heart feels-"
BADUMP! BADUMP!
wait.
"OFFICER...HE....HELP..."
BADUMP
"HEY! WHAT THE HELL RAY? QUICK! HE'S HAVING A HEARTATTACK-"
.
.
.
At the street, outside the Jail
[Aimi's Perspective]
"Ah brother, I knew you have met somebody..."
[Ray's Perspective]
"AIMI- WHY WOULD YOU-" BADUMP!
[Aimi's Perspective]
"You thought I was foolish? Lee and Harold got ahead of me. It seems. Well, be glad, for I ended your curse. By killing you."
.
.
.
And so, Aimi sat on the Taxi. But from the Jail cell, to the taxi, a man followed her.
"Ah, Aimi. I have gotten more information on you, it seems." Aiko said, as he took of his mask.
.
.
.
At Another Hotel Room
"Lee! Wake up! Damn you!"
"Zzz...snoreeeee" Lee was deep asleep.
"Call me immature but, it seems you just won't wake up!"
SPLASH!
"AGHHHH!" Lee woke up, as Harold splash a glass of water onto him!
"What your problem?!"
"Well, I've brought the case files with me. I've discovered something interesting."
"Huh? What is it?" Lee was curious.
"Well, when we impersonate as Huang to give money to Aimi, we also take money from somebody right? It's Michael, as we know."
Harold explained.
"Yeah, and?"
"It seems, he's not clean either."
"What do you mean?" Lee cleared hidden ace and put on his glasses.
As Lee scratched his head, as Harold explained.
"Well you see, remember when we discovered Ryou and Michael had a hundered thousand dollar deal, that probably was rejected?"
"Yeah, what of it?"
"Well it seems Michael got this money from somewhere else. And he was planning to use to this for Human trafficking."
"Oh wait. It connects a few dots." Lee finally understood.
"So Michael was involved in human trafficking, but, who was his supplier? Whom did Michael wished to buy? And who kidnapped the subject Michle wished to buy? And where is the subject right now?" Lee added.
"So, the only dot to connect all our other dots in order to clear out doubts is-"
"Ray."
.
.
.
At the road, in a car.
"I can't believe you drive so well, Harold!"
"Last time I drove a car, it was back when I was with Edrick. We discovered one of the most horrific accidents ever known to the history of Japan over there."
"Ah, I remember it. Wasn't that Ryou's driver who had killed four criminals, right?"
"Yes."
"But how did the criminals ran away, do you remember?" Lee was confused.
"Well, all I could see was a few bits of limbs and a man almost dead, panting, he had a steering wheel in his hand. It was covered in...honey?"
"Huh? Honey? But why?"
"More importantly, he was panting 'my daughter...my daughter...' all the way."
"Ah, his daughter, Isabella? Didn't she get killed by Aimi, and it was framed as a kill by Ryou?" Lee recalled.
"Yes, it's sad he died, and so did his daughter, when he literally commited this crime to save his daughter."
"Damn her, Aimi." Lee was frustrated by how evil minded, Aimi could be.
"But wait, why was the steering wheel covered in honey? And, who is Isabella's mother?"
"When we get back to Tokyo, we will see about it."
.
.
And so, the two reached Narita Jail.
.
.
.
At the Jail
Sfx: walk
"Can't wait to discover our secrets from Ray." Harold was excited.
"I know, right?" Lee exclaimed.
As the two kept walking, they were talking.
"Man, Harold, after this, I mean, catching Aimi, what would you do?"
"Probably get back home and retire. This was the most frustrating case of my entire life." Harold sighed.
"I'm here to avenge Edrick and Mayuri, why are you tagging with me though? Not for the fact that I'm forcing you..." Harold added.
"Well, I have similar reasons." Lee sighed.
"What is it?"
"Think of Edrick's last name."
.
.
.
As the two walked to Ray's cell.
"Ray's cell, huh?"
"Let's open this."
Sfx: door open
*Creaaaak
"Ah we are- wait."
"What the..."Lee was shocked.
By what they saw, both of them couldn't contain the scene into their eyes. For they, were HORRIFIED.
They saw, dead body Ray, covered by guards.
"..." The two could say nothing but just stand silently at the scene, where the guards panicked and tried to save Ray, but the hope was already lost.
"HEY! GET LOST!" The guard screamed.
The two turned their backs, and still couldn't fathom what they have seen.
Sfx: phone ring
"...huh?"
"... It's a phone call, from our money lender to keep being Huang. It's Michael." Lee said.
Sfx: pick up
"This is Huang."
"Ah, Hello, this is Michael. Can we meet sooner?"
"Ofcourse. Where?"
"Hmm. Let's meet in, Tokyo. To bring down, somebody we know of."
