Retribution at Hallow's Eve

In a certain conference room on Halloween, a meeting was being held about a certain person's downtrodden spirits. Around the table sat two girls and three guys.

One was a black-haired, blue-eyed beauty in a thin, rose quartz jacket and jeans named Sayuri. Next to her was a hazel-eyed girl wearing s light pink shirt with lace sleeves and a flowery, light blue long skirt who was named Aya. Across from them was soft-looking boy with blonde hair and grey eyes sporting a black long-sleeved sweater, black glasses, and black business pants. He sat closest to Aya, and was called Yuki. To his left was a red haired boy in a biker jacket and cargo pants, he was called Akira. The boy sitting to his left, directly across from Sayuri was named Senya. He had his dark blue hair in a low side ponytail, revealing his ear piercings. He was clothed in a white shirt, whose first two buttons were undone and dark grey jeans with three layers of silver chains on the right.

They went on to discuss holding a party for their sixth friend, who had the misfortune of falling for a douchebag playboy, to cheer her up..and get the truth out if her.

Later that afternoon, Sayuri skipped up to another beautiful college girl with black hair and exquisite features, looking out the window in J University's canteen as she sighed for the hundredth time.

"Hey Erika!" she called out. The girl, turned to look at her with depressed brown eyes.

Without waiting for the girl to respond, Sayuri continued. "We're planning a party tonight for Halloween! You need to come too!"

"More like, you just want an excuse to party didn't you?" Erika responded, exasperated.

Sayuri scratched the back of her head and giggled. "Teehee, maybe just a little." She then hugged Erika's arm and begged with puppy eyes. "But you have to come ok?"

"Fine, fine. I'll come."

"Okay! Then see you at Akira and Yuki's place!" Sayuri got up and walked away, waving at Erika.

After a few more hours of staring out the window, Erika decided to go to the party. The purple, short-sleeved, lace midi dress that went down to several inches below her knee and tan wedge heels would do just fine for a friends party. She soon reached the front of a silver-grey five-story apartment complex.

Such a high-rise, fancy apartment complex was the last place a college student could afford to live, but Yuki was pampered by his carefree, wealthy parents and was able to afford living here without worry. As for Akira, being Yuki's lover led to the two living together.

As she entered the lobby of the complex, Erika was greeted with a shout of "Over here!". Looking towards the voice, she saw Sayuri, standing up, waving at her in a circle of fancy one-person sofas. Surrounding her were their friends, looking her way, either nodding or waving at her.

When Erika reached them, Yuki stood up and said "Since everyone's here now, let's go."

The group followed Yuki up to his generously big apartment. When they entered, Sayuri sighed. "Wow. I'm so surprised everytime I come here. The place is so huge! Man, your parents are loaded! Hey, if we ever become homeless, can we stay here too?"

"Of course not." Yuki rejected the idea immediately, as he walked over to the kitchen in another room.

"Eh?! Why not?! Don't be so heartless! Doing good deeds will better your karma. Come on, be a little more charitable to your friends!" Sayuri complained as she and Akira followed him.

"Absolutely not!" Akira interjected. "If you guys stay here, how are we going to do coupley stuff?"

With red ears and an unreadable expression, Yuki pulled out several bottles of wine and pushed them into Akira's arms. "Shut up," he commanded before going back to grab more bottles.

Later in the night, with a number of drinks in her, Erika was now pretty tipsy. Grabbing this chance with a gleam in her eyes, Sayuri got to the reason for this party.

"Erika, you've been down lately, did something happen with Taichi?" She asked with worry.

At the mention of her now ex-boyfriend, Erika began to cry. "Sayuri, listen to this. You know he's always saying he needs more money, so I keep giving him money, right? But how much money can a college student have?! When I told him I was out of money he looked at me coldly and said he didn't need me anymore! He blocked my number and won't answer any of my emails or anything either!" As Erika kept crying and sniffling, her friends gathered around her and started dissing Taichi, calling him a manslut and conman. Soon past midnight, everyone had fallen asleep from the partying and the subsequent consoling.

A few hours after the group of friends and supposedly fallen asleep, a person rose from the pile on the floor. Finding a large blanket in the master bedroom, they put it over the rest of the group and took a bag on the floor they had brought with them into the bathroom. After changing and putting the bag back, they left. Shortly after, another person arose from the blanketed pile, grabbed something and also left.

A pair if boys were walking down an empty street in the ungodly hours of the early morning, laughing amongst themselves.

"Hahaha! That party at the hostess club was great!" one of the boys shouted, clearly drunk. He had spiky hair and his arms were around the shoulders of the other boy.

"Hahaha! Imagine how heartbroken your girlfriend would be if she found out all that money she gave you was for you to play at some hostess club!" the second boy with slicked back hair replied.

"Hey, hey. She's my ex now. More like, my ex-cash cow. As if I would ever actually date a woman like her!" the first boy responded.

As the two boys laughed and stumbled along, they finally arrived in front of a brick wall.

This wall was put in place to prevent me students of J University from sneaking outside through the park behind it. But little did the administration know, the more reckless students had long figured out a way to bypass the restriction'

As the drunken pair tried in vain to loosen the bricks, they kept stumbling because of their earlier drinking. A shadow vaulted over the wall without the pair noticing, and started removing the bricks as they were discussing whether to call a friend for help. Bricks kept being pulled from the inside of the wall until a hole big enough for one person was revealed. The pair climbed through the hole, unsuspicious, the spiky-haired boy first, then the slicked-backed one. After getting past the wall, the pair stared in a daze. Before them was a person with long, flowing black hair and a white and red fox mask that only revealed their mouth and below. On their body was a long-sleeved, high neck, white nightgown that flowed in the wind. On their feet were white disposable slippers. Strangely, on their hands were white rubber gloves that the two ignored. The moonlight created an ethereal aura around her, making her seem like something not of this world.

A lecherous gleam flashed in the eyes of the second boy. "Heheheh, beauty. What could you be doing here? Could it be that you want me? Don't worry, I will certainly satisfy that lascivious body if yours." he said as he drooled.

"Hey, let me in on it too! Beauty, seeing that you are so needy, it can't be helped. Both of us will work to satisfy you!" a greedy gleam flashed in the first boy's eyes.

Not showing any response to their disgusting words, the beauty in the moonlight opened her mouth. "Taichi Komura, who tricks away the money of the women he bewitches and spends it on his own luxury…" the eerie, cold voice made a chill run down the spine of the two boys who ignored it and kept staring at her with eager eyes. As if not noticing their gazes that were stripping them bare with their eyes, the figure continued. "... Daisuke Lawson, who takes advantage of girls constantly to satisfy his own needs yet would never take responsibility and gets away with all of it because his father is a famous lawyer…"

"Heheheh, beauty, how can you slander us so? Don't you know the phrase 'Boys will be boys'? You should just let us look at your body instead if beating around the bush…" Daisuke, the boy with the slick-backed hair started walking closer to the figure.

"You shall both receive my wrath." the figure said.

Before either if the boys could react, Daisuke's throat opened at the side, and blood spurted around. Having his vocal cords cut, he could only gurgle before his eyes rolled into the back if his head and his body fell to the ground. Several more cuts and stab wounds appeared on his body in quick succession before he finally breathed his last.

Scared out of his wits, Taichi, the boy with spiky hair, fell down on his butt, staring at the once beautiful figure standing above Daisuke. They were now drenched in blood and emitting a cold, demonic air. As they turned around towards him, Taichi's while body started to shake as he stuttering begged. "P-please, l-let me go. I won't, won't do it again, I swear to God! Please let me go!"

As if not hearing his plea, the figure raised raised the bloody kitchen knife and stabbed his throat, piercing through his vocal cords, just like with Daisuke. As Taichi gargled, trying to scream, the now demonic figure took out another knife and again, stabbed and cut him multiple times before finally stabbing his heart, ending his life. They then took out the two bloodied knives with it's gloved hands and placed one each in the hands of two boys. The figure then vaulted out the wall, falling on the sidewalk and stood back up. Right next to the, was another, unmasked figure whose handsome face caused them to catch their breath. In the other person's bands was a long, black coat.

"What are you doing here?" the first figure asked. Not saying anything, the person walked behind then and draped the coat over their shoulders. The figure pulled the coat closer and started buttoning up to hide the now blood red nightgown. The couple then began walking down the street…

The next morning, Aya woke everyone to help clean up. Yuki turned on the TV to listen to the morning news before they began.

This morning, authorities discovered a pair of dead bodies inside the brick wall enclosure of J University's Boy's Dorm…

Hearing the report, Sayuri urged everyone to be quiet and tuned up the volume.

… The victims are suspected to be Taichi Komura and Daisuke Lawson of J University. Police investigation is still ongoing, but it is suspected the victims may have gotten into a fight over finances and killed each other…

"Wow… Those two actually got killed? I thought they wouldn't die even if they were killed!" Sayuri exclaimed.

"Hmph! Serves them right!" Akira harrumphed. Everyone else also agreed with Akira. They then went back to cleaning and continued the rest of their days as usual. Erika was interviewed by the police because if her recent dealings with Taichi but was deemed innocent because of her solid alibi.

That night, the news followed up on the report from this morning.

… And so, police concluded that infighting led to the deaths of these two young men from J University…

A couple cuddled together as they watched the television, the girl sitting on the guy's lap, hugged from behind. The girl then turned towards the guy and opened her mouth.

"Hey, Senya. Aren't you repulsed or afraid of me?"

Senya looked at her questioningly.

"I killed two people just like that, you know? Wouldn't you usually stop me, report or become scared of me?"

Senya shook his head. "Sayuri… did right. They… deserved. Everything you do… is right." He replied earnestly, looking deep into her eyes.

Sayuri widened her eyes in surprise before she chuckled. "Thank you, Senya. I love you, too." She then hugged him and kissed his forehead.
