StAy OuT oR dEaTh AwAiTs YoU...

(WARNING: Severe cursing and possible gore imminent. Browse at your own risk.) Akane Yori is my name, or at least it's what I've been told to believe. Ten years ago. When those assassins killed my parents, they killed my sanity with it. My parents were gone. But that wasn't all. Many lives went with my stride. Not a single soul was left untouched. And then, I was still young. They stole me away. They trapped me in this house. They betrayed me here. All I have left are the spirits that wander here. I suggest you don't take that dare. If anyone dares you to come here, I will have no mercy. aNd NeItHeR wIlL tHeY...

Reisuke continued to jiggle the doorknob a bit more, trying to get it open. He could have sworn that the door was just open a minute ago…how did it…

Before he could finish his thought process, he felt his head suddenly jerk backwards, almost to an unnatural extent. Somehow, he had little to no control over his own body. He involuntarily squirmed a bit, trying to see if he could get out of whatever was happening to him.

Then, he felt his already bleeding arm being lifted up and tugged at. It pulled at him as if he were a rope in a game of Tug-of-war. Desperate to regain some control, he attempted to pull back in a feeble attempt to get out of its grasp. He then felt an enormous surge of pain as he heard a disgusting cracking and popping sound. His eyes watered as he sqeezed his eyes shut from the sheer pain of it all and once he opened them up again, he was horrified. He was met with a most grotesque sight. His own cut-up arm, lying in a growing pool of blood and no longer attatched to his body.

He screamed.

[atorturousbind-blog]

The spirit grabbed hold of the other arm, prepared to slate it straight off of his body.

The one holding back his head spoke in a demonic, malevolent voice.

"ThOsE wHo DiStUrB oUr PeAcE pAy A PrIcE..."

The doors all flew open and flooded in with a strong burst of wind. The spirit with his arm in possession messily began to seperate this limb from the body as well.

[perfecttrapoldaccount-blog]

Once Yori’s breathing ceased, Reisuke heard a loud slamming sound. He was startled, but after it passed, he calmed down. He then grinned upon seeing Yori’s dead body. Really, he wouldn’t have done anything to Yori, had she not threatened him so violently. He knew he had been mentally scared ever since the death of his Mama and Papa, but he still was not the type to harm innocent people. Yori’s murder was simply out of self defense.

He walked towards the exit of the room in a casual manner, ready to leave the strange mansion. He had no other business to take care of, and he knew he had to take care of the other Diary owners before they killed him.

He placed his hand on the door knob and turned. However, it refused to budge.

“…Huh?”

[atorturousbind-blog]

Not affording to be cautious any longer, the spirits let the boy detect their presence- not that's he'd be alive long enough for such a thing to matter.

One took hold of Reisuke, forcing the boy's head to arch back. Though their existence was sensable, they still could not be seen.

Another lifted the blade from the floor, not acknowledging Yori in any way, shape, or form.

Relentlessly, another of the paranormal beings ripped at one of his arms with enough power to tear it clean off.

[kagamine-chan-deactivated201503]

“Hmph. Being normal is.. not interesting. People who have such different personalities when compared to each other like you and I are interesting.”

Rin grinned, just barely able to imagine a stoic girl like her make the clumsiest of faces as she blows out twenty different candles on a cake. 

“I bet. Are you feeling a little better now? I mean. Do you still feel suffocated?”

[atorturousbind-blog]

"I guess... I feel a bit better." Yori sighed and leaned her head in her hand for a moment, taking a bite of the cake in front of her.

"These people... don't seem to mind me. It's unexpected, to say the least..."

[perfecttrapoldaccount-blog]

Reisuke only gave Yori a strange look, as if she were crazy. Well, she was insane. Her words and actions proved her mental instability. The aspect of spirits lying in wait, wanting to kill him seemed highly absurd to him though. 

“Spirits?” Reisuke asked. “I have no idea what you’re talking about Yori-chan.”

He continued to speak. “I wouldn’t have bothered them though. I wouldn’t have tried to kill you either! You just had to be a big meanie! Now you have to die…what a shame!”

He finally finished off with his own sinister grin. “Every game has a winner and a loser…and it just turned out that I’m the Super Elite out of the two of us!”

[atorturousbind-blog]

"Think whatever you want, kid, whatever you want. See you in hell."

Yori chuckled before her heart started pounding erratically. A burning sensation in her chest- she couldn't breath anymore. Yori finally decided she'd let the poison simply run its course, and her eyes slid closed- and didn't reopen. Her deadly treasure rolled from her hand as it slumped limply onto the ground.

A higher pressure emanated throughout the halls of the mansion- they were aware their protection had ceased to exist, and wanted the cause to pay its toll.

A sudden breeze of warning flooded every room. Every door slammed shut. Deadbolted. A stagnant atmosphere...

[perfecttrapoldaccount-blog]

Reisuke’s smile turned into a frown full of both confusion and suspicion. He was unable to comprehend Yori’s words. He then backed away a slight bit once Yori grabbed ahold of her knife, to ensure that she couldn’t do any more damage. His arm was already cut pretty badly, for the red liquid was dripping all over the floor. His side was dripping with blood as well, staining the green dress he was wearing. Even if it wasn’t fatal. Reisuke knew he had to get some first aid soon. Though, right now his attention was focused on Yori.

“Eh?” he asked. “What do you mean?”

No way out? Surely Yori was delusional…there were plenty of exits around the mansion. Reisuke knew he could get out any time he pleased. He was just going to wait for Yori to perish before he left. He wanted to watch that.

[atorturousbind-blog]

"Oh, you must not be able to hear them... pity..." Yori gripped her weapon with all her might, which was surprisingly little. The smirk remained a factor in her explanation.

"My reasoning into wanting to kill you is simple... Spirits lie here... I am their guard and protection, so they may be at peace... If I was to fail to protect them, they would murder you even more relentlessly than I ever could..."

Yori spat blood once again, her head hitting against the ground.

"You... lose... no matter what..."

"What is your business here? Why have you come?" Yori slowly approached the newcomer to the forbidden mansion.

[kagamine-chan-deactivated201503]

Rin laughed softly, not really bothering to hide her happiness that she took the pin from her. 

“Really? Would it be more normal if I was more mean and everything? But then you’re way too un-welcoming. We’re on two different levels of weird then. So that’s a plus.~”

“…!” Rin scrunched her nose, the breath and part of the little smoke flying into her face and shook it off. “Geez, I wonder how you would’ve handled a bunch of candles at once.”

[atorturousbind-blog]

"If you were meaner, you would be normal, yes." This sentence did not contain much enthusiasm from her.

Yori blinked a few times at Rin's reaction to the snuffing of the candle, then she chuckled unnaturally, picking at her ice cream.

"Probably very awkwardly, in all honesty."

[perfecttrapoldaccount-blog]

As Reisuke ran, he suddenly felt something snatch him by the white collar of his shirt, yanking him backwards. He looked back and saw Yori, seething with both bloodlust and rage. Although he was horrified, he still continued to giggle, refusing to show any fear. 

Yori then raised her knife above her head, ready to jam it into the boy’s body. She swung it down and at that moment, Reisuke expected to die. He squeezed his eyes shut.

He then felt a sharp sting, not a stab. He opened his eyes to see a good amount of blood dripping down his arm and on his side, but it was nothing fatal. Just messy. Yori herself was sprawled onto the floor, unable to do anything.

Despite the pain he was in, Reisuke laughed even more, seeing that he had won the little death match. The grin on his face was that of a psychotic monster.

The grin then turned back into an adorable smile. He knelt down in front of the fallen woman.

“Hee hee! You lose, Yori-chan!”

[atorturousbind-blog]

Yori's eyes fluttered shut, then open, then shut again, unable to make their final decision.

"You lose too." Yori choked,  coughing blood once again. Although she probably would die soon, a demented grin was nailed into her expression.

She could only make out shapes and vague flashes of colors now. She saw orange, green, red. A lot of red dotting the floor. For the most part, her body was limp, and incapable of movement anymore. But somehow, she tossed her arm forward, feeling around and grabbing her knife she so cherished.

"Even if I were to die right now, you'd still lose. There's no way out of this mansion." 

[kagamine-chan-deactivated201503]

Rin picked out chocolate chip, and.. a special birthday ice cream cake slice for Yori. Truthfully, she wanted to get her the whole package and have people sing to her, but that’d probably be too much of a big leap. 

Choosing one of the candles, she lit it up and stuck it on top of the slice and made her way back over to Yori. With a gentle smile, she set it in front of the girl and took out one of her hair clips so she could use it. “Here. Take it. So you can blow the candle and see better without seeing lavender everywhere.”

“For what? For no reason at all. I just felt like getting you this.”

[atorturousbind-blog]

She reentered reality, gazing at the flame, then back at Rin. She snatched the clip from the blonde's hand, proceeding to pin up her hair hanging in her face.

"You're really too kind, you know. It's weird." She'd meant it as her thank you, but not knowing how exactly to express it.

After putting the clip in place, she extinguished the candle in a flurry of breath.

He took another step back. “I’m sorry, I won’t do it ever again. It’s a force of habit of mine.”

His eyes widened down at the blade and he shook his head. “I can’t. I made a promise and I’m not going to die. Look, I’m sorry for upsetting you and everything, I won’t do it again.”

[atorturousbind-blog]

"Do you think any of that crap matters to me?" Yori growled, approaching ever closer.

"In my world, there's not such a thing as a second chance."

[perfecttrapoldaccount-blog]

Reisuke glanced behind his back as he was running. Surprisingly, Yori was still trailing after him and even worse, they could see each other. So she hadn’t fallen for the bombs. He only smiled, refusing to show any fear.

“Hehe, Yori-chan, you can’t catch me!” he taunted in an sing-song voice. Though now, this meant trouble for him. He wouldn’t be able to stop and set up another trap. Yori was just too close to him. The only thing he could do now was run. He had a gas trap on hand, but considering the distanc between them, that would be too daring of a move.

He kept running, hoping that Yori’s legs woud give out before his own did.

[atorturousbind-blog]

Yori kept up her strongest possible speed after the kid taunting her with elusion. Despite her nearly fully faltered strength, she was growing closer. Closer. Closer.

Within arm's reach, she swiped at the back of his shirt collar, yanking him backwards towards her. Her breathing was raspy and almost impossible to catch. She was struggling to draw her next breath.

Reeling back, she came down full force above him with the blade, but her nebulous eyesight caused her to miss, grazing across Reisuke's side. The knife once again seperated from her hand, and she breathlessly collapsed to the floor.

Things were beginning to spin around her, and Yori was losing her will to rise again. Should she just die here? The spirits would get to Reisuke anyways... but dying a failure was the least desirable end possible.

The voices steadily increased in volume.

[kagamine-chan-deactivated201503]

“So you’re a free spirit,” she replied.

“You’d be surprised at the sort of image people put up. If they did that to you, they’d just be doing it for gaining a sense of self-satisfaction, knowing that there’s someone out there that can minimize their own abnormalities by displaying theirs out in public.” 

For the short while that she said that, her voice had become hushed; expression glum. It immediately lifted and she grinned. 

“Okay! Chocolate chip. I’ll go order for you, alright? Stay put..” 

[atorturousbind-blog]

Yori watched in a sort of astonishment as Rin approached the counter. Why did this girl think so much of her at all? Was it pity? Yori simply couldn't tell.

All she knew was Rin was going out of her way to help someone who didn't really deserve it. At least, that's what Yori felt. But for now, she didn't care. She felt more and more at ease now, but still distant... it was something that she couldn't really change. It was rather instinct.

But Yori was grinning. Whether or not she could notice it, submersed in her thoughts, she was grinning.

Noticing that the hair was blown around her eyes, Len took a small step forward and reached up with his hand, slowly pushing the hair away and tucking them behind her ear. “Sorry,” he muttered quietly and took a step back.

“Um…” I think I’ve seen this happen in a movie before. “Something bad… I think. Right?”

[atorturousbind-blog]

"Don't. Ever. Touch me." Yori spat. She tensed up in anger and frustration, her natural reaction of reaching into her pockets kicking in. What kind of nerve did he have? Or was he just oblivious?

"No shit, sherlock. It's something bad." Yori yanked her hands back from her pockets, one empty, the other with her blade.

"You die."

[perfecttrapoldaccount-blog]

Reisuke could tell from all the stomping and running about that Yori was nearby. He couldn’t help but smile though. The stomping wasn’t the only thing he heard. He heard his poisoned darts whizzing in the air, followed by a short scream. An obvious sign that they made its mark.

With both the poisoned syringe and the poison-tipped darts, he knew that Yori wasn’t going to live much longer. All he had to do now was keep stalling until the poisons took its full effect. Just keep running until his victory came to him.

Though that wouldn’t be any fun now, would it? After all, they had started a fun little game of death. It would be a shame if it ended in such a boring manner.

Carefully, he took out all three of the explosives he had and slid them under the carpets of various rooms. They produced a noticeable bulge in the carpeting, but he figured that Yori wouldn’t be looking down at the floor anytime soon.

“Yori-chan is so dumb…” he laughed to himself as he set up the traps. “This is too easy!”

Once that was done, he started running again, giggling to himself as he ran.

[atorturousbind-blog]

Yori was steadily beginning to grow weaker and weaker, falling more and more constantly from her limbs giving out. At a point, she began coughing blood, but she had to keep ignoring such things to fulfill her purpose.

She curved around another corner, falling as expected. From her blurred eyesight, she however did manage to catch the bump under the carpet. Ripping it from the floor, she discovered the planted explosive.

"How in... fuck..." Yori panted spitting blood to the side. This kid was about four of five, how could he...?

Not going to fall for such a trick, she dashed along the of the hallway, tearing all the carpet from the floor. In this attempt, she uncovered two other explosives, and assuring they weren't going to set off anytime soon.

Yori finally caught the young boy in her sights with all her efforts. With the little bit of strength she could muster to run, she sprinted at the psychotic kid.

In the back of her, she could hear their voices grow stronger. This worried her more than anything, but she kept going. She wanted to end this charade as quickly as she could.

[perfecttrapoldaccount-blog]

He actually had no idea where he was. That didn’t matter one bit though. All that mattered was if he was able to set up traps.

He looked around, searching for places to hide his traps. He had a few on hand. He had a trap that sprayed poison gas everywhere, some small mines and poisoned darts. Plus, he could always make use of the environment around him.

He could hear Yori’s footsteps pounding against the wooden floor. It was a chilling reminder he had to be quick. He quickly hid a few poisoned darts around the room, set up to go off on a timer set at about one minute. He then ran off again.

[atorturousbind-blog]

Yori stumbled around a corner, feeling the effects of her poisoning start to spread, and at a rather fast rate. Her wavering eyes widened, she whipped her head around, searching for the runaway kid.

"I swear if he..." Yori stood silent, and heard rushing footsteps down a distant hallway. She started up her ragged dash, before hearing popping sounds behind her.

Before she could even spot the various darts in the wall, she felt a stabbing pain in her shoulder.

"Fuck--!" Her only choice to avoid the others was to keep running in his direction, tearing the toxic dart from her shoulder. With a short scream, blood began to trickle down her shoulder. But she kept running. Falling, getting back up again. And running. She could tell she was getting closer to him.

Falling. Getting back up again. Running.

[perfecttrapoldaccount-blog]

Reisuke felt himself drop back down onto the floor, landing on his rear end. He winced a bit before quickly scrambling to his feet. He hadn’t been able to inject that much of the poison into Yori’s blood stream before dropping him. She still had a chance to kill him if she was fast enough. Reisuke wasn’t about to let that happen though.

He ran off away as fast as he could. He had to prepare some traps to finish her off before she did. He knew this was easier said than done though. After all, he wasn’t familiar with this place.

[atorturousbind-blog]

Yori regained hold of her blade, stumbling to her feet while gripping her neck. How could this little kid have-?

Her vision was blurred, but she was able to catch Reisuke in her sights. At a slow start, then a growing pace, she began to run after the boy.

"God dammit, this kid is suicidal. He won't make this easy, will he?"

[kagamine-chan-deactivated201503]

“What’s the most people could do? Try to drag you to a police station?” Rin joked, thinking that Yori wouldn’t let them touch her in the first place. “Okay, then you’ll stay with me. —Hmm. What kind of ice cream do you want? Cookies and cream is yummy.” Her bow perked, and she glanced up at Yori with an excited expression.

[atorturousbind-blog]

"They probably could lock me away in a fucking house though."

Yori rolled her eyes, meaning it to be sarcasm, but it sounded rather harsh.

Changing to the topic of ice cream, she looked back at Rin.

"That's fine with me then." Yori pulled her head up, trying to make herself look proper. She honestly really hated this situation, but she wouldn't just say that.
