End of Chaos

"haah...haah..."

He panted.

"I am...Alive...?"

His eyes opened and closed, he couldn't see anything properly.

[Aiko's Perspective]

"Brother...! Make your own food dammit!"

If I remember, Lisa was one the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

I might even call her the prettiest lady I've ever talked, and lived with.

It was... It was... An honor to be brother of such a girl.

"I want you, to have 'that' with me. Or else, I will leak all these to my our workplaces~"

And after that day, everything changed.

Despite having crossed our relationship as siblings, I still loved her, somehow.

Is this... What and how she feels towards me, too?

...

Ah, why am I thinking about all this...?

"Aiko...!"

"Aiko san!"

"AIKO!"

Slap!

"AUGHHHHH-"

WHAT THE HELL-

.

.

.

"Aiko...are you okay?"

"Ah...Lisa...Lisa..." Aiko panted, as he said her sister's name.

But it turned out,

It wasn't her sister.

"Oh my~ Aiko, you're way too tired..."

"Huh? Ayumi... Is that you?" Aiko said as he opened his eyes a little.

"Yes, it is me. fufu~" Ayumi blushed.

"Please...take me...take me to my sister...Lisa..., She's waiting for me...i-" Aiko tried moving bit.

Push!

"Huh?-"

"Oh Geez, No. You're way too tired..." Said Ayumi,

As she put her hands over Aiko's eyes,

And closed it...

"No-... NO...!"

"Aiko, you shall sleep a little more~"

Chapter 58: End of Chaos

.

.

.

At the Middle Corridor

"What the..."

"Holy shit, is he even alive?"

The entire ceiling had fell off, luckily Ryou was able to escape towards the middle Corridor as it was the only place not destroyed so far.

Sfx: fshhhhhh

"Huh? It seems the firefights have arrived..." Ryou remarked

The fires weren't a big deal any longer, for their intensity had lowered and lowered.

Probably the effects of firefighters.

"Huh...them... I forgot." Ryou said as he turned around.

Along with firefighters, there was the effect of someone else too.

"She-..." Aoi trembled

"She's probably dead, I-...I DONT KNOW!!" Aoi teared up seeing Alice's dead body.

"And the other guy?" Ryou smirked.

"Damn, he's literally in shock right now, his hands are trembling..." Takashi commented.

Minoru was shivering as he said

"Aimi...Aimi...Aimi..Aimi...you're a wonderful maid, killer and what more! Aimi...Aimi...Aimi..."

"Yeah, he went mad."

"Definitely."

"Wait."

Ryou noticed something.

Takashi is still well and alive.

"Ugh-"

Ryou got in his fighting stance as he said

"I was a pro martial artist back in my days, you know?"

"You're making it seem like you became an old retired man now, haha." Takashi kept moving forward.

Ryou could only step backwards, as he said

"Listen man, don't come closer. It's for your own safety."

"I'm very well safe, I just don't have to provoke you, and you won't kill me off, isn't it?" Takashi said.

"Well, yeah, and so what?"

"I-..."

Takashi stopped.

"I won't hit you, I have already lost." Takashi laughed at himself.

"I wasn't even the mastermind, infact, I have no identity. Begin by asking who am I, that's how you can humiliate me-" Takashi suggested.

In the midst of all such ruins, Ryou said as he took down his stance

"Huh?" He looked down onto Takashi.

"Shit. Did I piss you off?!" Takashi went concerned.

Dealing with another person, that too tamed by Aimi, would be a disaster for Takashi it seemed.

He was the only same one left.

As takashi trembled through fear, ready to apologise-

"Why would I humiliate you?" Ryou said innocently.

"Huh? I-i mean..." Takashi stuttered.

"Humiliation, ah, I have went through enough of it. I believe everybody deserves a chance, and so do you." Ryou smiled as he said this.

"What do you mean-"

"Look, what have you done wrong?" Ryou asked.

"I-...so stealing somebody's identity, that isn't wrong? I just couldn't find me within myself-"

"No, I genuinely couldn't find anything wrong in you. You just don't look like the type." Ryou said with a blank face.

"Huh?!" Takashi was surprised!

Is this guy blind or something? Is what Takashi thought.

Smile...

"I see, now I know why would anybody fall heels over heads over you, Ryou Aikawa." Takashi said as he smiled.

"Is that so?" Ryou asked.

"Yeah, I guess so." Takashi had nothing else to say.

But suddenly, something clicked in his mind,

"Hey wait. You were the master of the same household Aimi was in, isn't it?" Takashi asked.

"Yeah, ofcourse."

"Well, I do now know the history of this case. But, I haven't ever heard it from the perspective of the main element, the master, himself. Your perspective should be one of those things we haven't gotten for a long time now."

"Ah, what would you do with a story from my perspective, huh?"

"Well, I don't know, I have lost the game already..." Takashi referred to the case.

"So You're the police, isn't it? I have waited to tell my story for a long time now, to be honest." Ryou sighed.

"Well, let me tell you all of it, from my very eyes and feelings..."

"Of how it all began."

[Flashback]

It was the beginning of winter, if I remember.

"Ku...kuuu...huff...huff..." Young Ryou cried.

"Son, you will live! P-please..." His mother trembled.

"Nooo! Mother! Please, don't leave me!" Ryou hugged his sick mother.

.

.

.

"..."

"NOOOOOOOOO!!"

Ryou shouted.

"MOTHERRR!!!!!!"

.

.

.

I was lonely, hopeless and probably unworthy of ever inheriting the large business empire my father had built for me.

But I, the son of the elites, have a responsibility upon my shoulders.

For which I wasn't even ready, but yet, I was supposed to do it.

In middle school, I met this one girl.

"Hey! Ryou, could you stop drawing naked girls in the back of your copies!" She scolded me.

"Huh?!" I dozed off, but suddenly woke up to her loud voice.

This loud person was,

A few moments later.

"Hmph! By the way, I am Miko. Who are you?"

"I'm sorry..." I put my head down.

"You're sorry? PFFFT-"

"No! Not like that!"

In the corner of the seat, was another girl, who had the same charisma as this Miko over here.

"Hey, there's a cold war between me and this poor girl sitting over there. We can be friends if you decide to not talk to her." Miko said with a smug face.

I look towards her,

"Isn't that the middle school dance candidate, the one who's against Seiko from other class? Aimi, I think?"

"You even know her name?!" Miko became a little furious.

"Okay, I'm sorry... I'll be your friend then. I guess."

Aimi didn't think much of it at the times it was usually for her to be discriminated like that.

And that's how, between me and Miko, our friendship began.

Fast forward to High school,

It didn't took much time for it to take off into a relationship.

.

.

.

"Miko, I've realised, that I feel you more than my friend, you're family, to me, and in future, to our household."

"Oh my-" she blushed.

As she spoke nervously,

"I-is that how far you wish for us to go?!"

To which I did not reply, I simply knelt down as I said

"Miko, will you be my girlfriend?"

.

.

.

Sfx: crowd cheering

"Ohhh my godd!!!!"

"A confession in high school?! Will this last?!"

"I'm so jealous at Miko!! She got such a hunk~"

Others were cheering for us.

As Miko replied

"Y-yes... Ofcourse!"

But,

There was one girl. Assigned to be my shadow, who didn't look much happy.

Obviously she didn't have much friends, apart from her junior, Isabella.

"Sigh... That guys a blast! Isn't he? So famous, cool, and what not?!" Isabella blushed at how cool Ryou was.

Aimi didn't say much, rather she sat at the corner of the class as she observed the crowd and most importantly,

The son of the Aikawa household, the richest in Japan,

Ryou Aikawa.

Her master.

"Well, master has accomplished quite alot, I must commend him for that." Aimi said a little.

"Huh?! Who the hell are you, ugly face?!" Another girl came in the scene.

"Hey! Back off!" Isabella protested.

"Shut the hell, you junior, don't you know how to behave when seniors are around?"

"As for you, poor ugly face, could you decide to stay away from Ryou? He's the boyfriend of the prettiest girl in our highschool, and you? You're not even a percent close to her!" She added.

Aimi was still quiet,

But she decided to say something,

"...I know five miserable people and you're four of them." Aimi broke the silence.

Sfx: collar grab

GRAB!

"HUH?! UGLY FACE, YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK LIKE THAT?!" The girl grabbed Aimi's collar as she said angrily.

"Hey!! Back off! I told you-" Isabella protested.

But even in the dark life of Aimi, where nothing was good,

She had a glitter of hope.

.

.

.

"Could you please not cause any commotion in the class, you two?" Said Ryou, with a calm voice.

"Ah- right, i-im..I'm sorry!" The girl blushed and ran off.

"Please, Isabella." Ryou indicated.

"Yea yea! Ofcourse!" ISABELLA understood the tension as she left too.

Pick...

Ryou picked Aimi's hand,

But Aimi said something before he could

"Master, haven't you cause more commotion than the girl bulling me just now?"

"Ah, right. I'm sorry. Hypocrisy, I guess..." Ryou didn't maintain eye contact.

Grab, twist!

"Master, look into my eyes... Do you think your confession was the right move?" It was evident Aimi was jealous of Ryou.

She was jealous of me, I am Ryou.

But I was too dense to understand such thing.

"Uhhh... I don't think it was w-wrong...?" I panicked.

And even back then, she pulled the same move onto me

Stare

Her lips and nose got close to me, such that her hot breath was brushing against my body as she said

"When will you stop this? You don't know what would happen if I ever... dreamt of being a wife. A day would never end easily then." She said.

"Huh? Day? Was that a confession just now-"

"HYAA-"

Aimi ran off.

.

.

.

Fast forward to when I was about to leave the mansion, for foreign studies,

I cried, I cried alot infront of my father hugging him tightly as I said

"FATHER!! I AM NOT READY YET-"

push!

He pushed me off his chest as he said with a cold heart

"Son, you must go outside! Japan isn't built for my son..." His eyes teared up too.

I think, I heard another voice

"Umm...best of...luck..."

But it was too faint for me to hear it.

HUG!

"Father....!" I hugged my father as I kept crying.

But behind him, I

I could see another face that was both relieved and tensed of my departure.

Aimi looked as if she was happy that she no longer has to deal with something that happened because of me,

But she also looked intensely depressed that she no longer has to deal with me.

But nevertheless, I left the mansion.

.

.

.

And for three whole years, I did numerous things.

I learnt alot, spent alot of time upon building myself as a great person.

But who knew, such a story awaited me when I came back to Japan?

.

.

.

"Ryou, I am terribly sorry to inform you, your father didn't make it." Maid Carla said.

And that was it.

My journey to the foreign, had come to an end.

I was back in Japan, as I sat near the airport,

"HI...!" Miko waited for me.

"You were here for so much time?!"

"Huh? It was just two hours, I was so excited!!" Miko was happy.

.

.

.

"so, when am I moving to your new mansion?" She teased me, as we sat down and had a chat.

"Ahahah..." I laughed it off.

.

.

.

And that's when, I met somebody I had forgotten.

"Master, it's time for you to get in the car." A lady formally greeted me.

But then,

.

.

.

"Then?" Takashi was curious.

"Then..." Ryou countinued as he said

[Flashback]

The formality would turn into a disaster. A huge disaster.

"Huh?! Who's there?!"

It was night. Precisely 3'o clock of night is what the clock said.

"What's the bargain for life?"

I didn't understand this question back then,

But looking back at it.

Now I knew the answer.

The bargain to life is...

"Master, I require something precious of you and would spare you in return." Aimi said as she captured me that night.

"For...FOR EACH LIFE YOU SPARE, I SURRENDER MYSELF TO YOU FOR THE DAY!"

I made the contract.

.

.

.

That night, I had the wildest, roughest, the most passionate kiss session of my entire life.

Smooch, kiss, suck!

"Pwahhhh...." Aimi broke the kiss as she said

"Three years, that's how long I have waited for this moment. You thought you could just run away from the woman you have created in these years?"

I was too stunned to say anything.

I just complied with whatever she said.

"You have broken me, Master, take responsibility~"

Ah, Responsibility.

If only I knew, love and care is what she needed back then.

.

.

.

And then, our life went smooth, with me being constantly both seduced and blackmailed.

I withstanded it all, I was still fine.

Until,

Edrick showed up in our life.

He changed everything.

But even then, Aimi didn't kill a single person,

Until today.

.

.

.

"She made sure our contract didn't break, she broke the contract today, and formed a new one with me... Just today as well."

Ryou was proud of his journey with Aimi so far,

But Takashi looked at him with bare disapointed eyes as he said

"You made a contact with her? The maid? Aimi?" He asked.

"Yes, that is correct." Ryou nodded.

"Pfft...! What a lame joke!" Takashi laughed off.

"...huh?" Ryou ptnom his guard again.

"I'm not going to attack you, haha, sorry, but... Did you just mean Aimi did NOT commit a murder from that day to fast forward today?"

"Yes?"

"Just how much did that girl brainwash you, huh?" Takashi asked.

"What do you mean..."

"Out of anybody, she has commited the most kills. She killed Mayuri, Isabella, her own brother Ray, Edrick, Your driver and even your best friend, Yuuki..." Takashi laughed.

"Hahahahah...it's so funny that you had no idea this went under your back, and you supported her without even checking or believing what others had told you? You fucking brainwash~" Takashi kept laughing.

Slap! Wham!

"STOP. LYING."

Ryou swinged his bat at Takashi's chest.

"AUGH-"

Thud!

He fell to the ground, but Takashi recieved himself as he said

"Hitting me won't change the truth, it will hurt you, but Aimi is a cold bloodded killer who might just take your own life too..."

"AUGHHH YOU STUPID LITTLE-"

Ryou went BESERK as he

WHAM!

BROKE THE BAT WITH HIS SWING AT TAKASHI'S SHOULDER

"NOOO-" Aoi panicked.

"YESSSSS!!!" He grinned his teeth.

It wasn't Ryou, It wasn't Takashi.

It was Minoru.

"YESSSSS RYOU AIKAWA!"

grab!

"HEY- LET GO OF ME-"

Ryou was caught off guard by Minoru, who standing frozen just right now, and as

HE GRABBED ONTO RYOU,

with the bat being broken, Ryou realised

He's in grave danger.

"WHAT THE HELL-'

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"LISA DIDN'T COME, BUT I HAVE A GUN TOO!" Minoru shouted.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING-"

bang!

Minoru went reckless with the gun.

And as Minoru held Eyou's neck into his upper arms, he said

"where are you, Aimi?! Show me yourself! Show me the wonders!"

He pointed the gun everywhere, in fear, in agony, and in excitement.

.

.

.

Before finally pointing the gun towards Ryou's head.

"HEY- DONT DO THIS!"

"ITS OKAY AIMI, IF YOU DONT SHOE UP, HE WILL, IN HEAVEN!"

And Slowly,

Minrou's fingers started sweating as

He went near the trigger.

.

.

.

Slowly and steadily,

.

.

.

The tension kept building up,

As his fingers pushed against the trigger and-

.

.

.

.

.

.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

.

.

.

"KYAAAAA-"

"Wait." Ryou checked around his head,

He... He isn't dead?!

"I-...wait, I'm not shit either?!"

.

.

.

"I have more bullets in my gun, if you don't realise." Police officer said.

"Officer Miyu, please send re-inforcements to the main room." He countinued.

"Wh...what?" Minoru was surprised.

.

.

.

"Officer Rei! That's the man!" Aimi said in a thin voice.

"On it, please do not be afraid." Rei assured her.

"Men, capture him!"

.

.

.

As the police officers leaped,

"See? Ryou, they have came to arrest you. Weren't you the runaway criminal after all? Aimi has betrayed you at last, as expected of a cold blooded killer...haha!" Minoru said as he giggled menacingly.

"No-...this can't be...THIS CANT BE!!" Ryoi cried for help.

.

.

.

"Don't be worried, Mister Ryou Aikawa." An officer named Takumi said.

"H-...huh?"

"Ofcourse, now arrest him! Y'all, don't give mercy to this bastard-" Minoru encouraged the others,

But suddenly

Grab!

"AUGHF-"

Takumi choked Minoru's neck with his arms and biceps, as he said

"I can't believe the real criminal would say, you fucking sicko!"

"HUH WHAT?!" Minoru was surprised.

.

.

.

"That's right." Aimi stepped forward.

"We, Me and my master Ryou, are both innocent. Takashi, another of an accomplice, a friend to my brother and also from the same orphanage as mine, initiated the Factory building fire on the commands of Minoru." She said.

"W-wait... THAT WAS THE OTHER TAKASHI-"

"Why? Haven't you told others you're the real Takashi?" Aimi looked down on Takashi as she said this.

"Explain more in the Jail, bastard!" Another officer grabbed Takashi.

"And Aoi, she was also an accomplice. You see, she hit the police officer Alice with that bat!" Aimi pointed at that broken bat.

"N-NO! It was...IT WAS HI-"

Slap!

"Criminals don't talk, you dumbass!" Aoi was handcuffed.

And at last,

"More than countable lives, were lost in this tragic incident. And that was solely because of one mastermind, who was behind each and every murder, from the death of Rosa to Edrick, and even right now, Alice. He had a grudge against the businessman Ryou Aikawa, and so," Aimi said

She added

"He's the killer, the one behind this case."

"WAIT- WHAT?! TOU ALL ARE BELIEVING HER?"

"Say more of this when you're rotting in the Jail, we have evidences against you, you cold hearted beast!" Rei dragged Minoru.

.

.

.

There was an awkward stare between Ryou and Aimi.

"Huh?" Ryou asked indirectly,

What is going on?

"Fufu~" Aimi smiled.

Everything to keep us together, is what's going on, dear~

.

.

.

Sfx: laugh

Ahahah...Hahahahahha.....HAHAHAHAHA!

"I'M NOT DONE YET, BASTARDS..." Minoru said

"Huh?" Rei twitched.

Waht did he mean?

"HERE HE COMES!"

Minoru suddenly twisted to his side,

.

.

.

.

.

.

AS MICHAEL CAME IN!

"RYOU AIKAWAAAA!!!"

"...WHAT?!"

Ryou could have never expected, out of everybody else, rather

Than Michael to be here.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL-" Takashi, who was handcuffed, exclaimed.

JUMP! LEAP!

"AIKAWAAAAAA!" Michael shouted

AS HE JUMPED TO STAB RYOU!

.

.

.

And slowly, but also fastly, Ryou felt

Something.

"OH MY GOD-"

STAB!

.

.

.

"...shit."

.

.

.

Thud!

.

.

.

"Ryou, are you safe?!"

"M-...miko?!" Ryou said nervously.

"Yeah, I've become a killer now, I guess..." She looked at her knife, as she smiled in resignation.

She has acknowledged that she had lost everything she could have ever had. And now, all she was,

Was a broken piece of a person, waiting to be loved.

"Arrest me, officers!" Miko happily put her arms in the air.

"Ah, you'd not get arrested. You DEFENDED a person in self-defense I guess, and besides..." Takumi said as he picked up Michael's body

"This guy must've gotten some more life to him." Takumi said as he arrested Michae toom

"This bastard was involved in human trafficking, isn't he? With a personal named Inoue and Huang." Takumi recalled.

"According to Aimi's reports, Inoue is Minoru, and Minoru purposefully framed Aimi, so Ryou and Aimi could be arrested, and Huang was Harold. Though Harold is dead, and Minoru is already arrested, haha" Rei laughed.

It was a laughter of relief. That everything has been solved.

Ryou looked at Aimi,

"Fufu~ everything's okay now~"

Run!

"What are you-"

Hug!

Aimi tightly hugged onto Ryou, as she said

"Huff...it's okay now, we will be together forever!"

She began crying, and sniffinng onto Ryou's shoulder.

"J-just...don't leave me..okay?" She said like a child.

Sfx: pat

Pat..pat...

Ryou patted Aimi's back and her hair, as he said

"Ofcourse, my lady."

To what he just said

Aimi blushed, and so did Ryou.

.

.

.

At the other side

"BROTHER!!!"

Leap! Jump!

"Oh my~ you don't have to rush into him like that~" Ayumi giggled.

"I am Nina, I helped Lisa here." Nina introduced herself as she bowed.

Ayumi, who was acting as a pillow with her thighs towards Aiko's head, said

"Ah, I am Ayumi, I helped Aiko with a CPR, to keep him alive. That's all~ fufu~" She giggled.

.

.

.

Somebody who was intensely furious to the sentence,

Was Lisa.

"Is that why, he has so many lipstick marks over his cheek and lips?!" Lisa said with a death stare.

"Ah..Lisa...?" Aiko cupped Lisa's cheek.

He was conscious again!

"UWAAA-" Lisa instantly blushed at this.

.

.

.

Takashi, Aoi, Minoru and Michael were all arrested and charged were out accordingly.

Nina had still to stabilize her life, she recently had lost her job.

Aiko was hospitalized, Ayumi and Lisa came to his care.

Ryou and Aimi were now innocent, they had to give a few statements regarding the case in future.

.

.

.

And that day, directly or indirectly,

Aimi had murdered about twenty people.

These were factory workers, her own father, her brother's friends and Alice, who was hit by a baseball bat coated with a powder Aimi had put on to mark it hers.

Same was done to the gun Lisa had used onto Harold.

.

.

.

As Aimi stood in front of Ryou

"Let's reach out for a new contract, a final one this time."

For all the lives you spare, let myself be yours, for the eternity.

To which, Aimi teared up a little, as she said

"Y-yes...ofcourse, I accept."

By accepting she would never kill again,

Aimi accepted Ryou's proposal.

It was clear that Aimi has been emotionally moved by what Ryou said to her.

To which she said,

"For each life I will spare, you will be completely mine, all mine, dependent on me, for the rest of your entire life. You will see no other woman than me, touch no other woman than me, your life, from breathing to blinking..."

"I OWN IT."

This was, her own way of accepting Ryou's love.

.

.

.

In a near distance, a familiar voice came

"Come on, you two, get in the car."
