tvklogs | The second victim

WHO: Kaito and the mystery killer.
WHEN: August 9th, before midnight.
WHERE: The crime scene area.
SUMMARY: Kaito is investigating, not noticing he falls into the rat trap.
RATING: PG-13, probably R?
WARNINGS: Possible death.

Since the news yesterday, Kaito couldn't lay his fingers on it. Pretty much he wanted to know what was going on, and something stroke him weird on the phase from the news. 'The first murder case in over ten years'. What happened ten years ago? It's very big gap of years, and also the exact ten didn't make sense.

That night, Kaito prepared himself for patrol again, but he went out early this time. He turned to his watch, which showed ten o'clock.

"Still got about two hour before the Dark Hour. For meantime, check around the resident if something unusual. Then, here goes another round when Dark Hour. What was the victim's name again? ...Rodgers. Hmm, better be careful with the police around, or Naoto is going to yell at me."

He packed himself with rations and cellphone, but he didn't bring his weapon this time. He's patrolling around, not killing any weak shadows tonight. He patted the sleeping Hachune on the head before he walked out from the room. Once he's out from the hotel, he noticed police is still around. Probably, they're going to sleep late tonight. He knew police didn't help much during Dark Hour. If they couldn't do it, then Kaito will.

The Rodgers's resident area was empty. The neighborhoods were sending to other places for safety, and not much police around there. What's just left only a long crime scene tape around the house. At least, it used to keep the people away, not intruders. Kaito stepped into the house, but he found nothing much. Most of the evidence was taken. Kaito not used to play cops, but he just knew how it went. He stood right behind of the house, and it's mostly dark and quiet. He took a glance on the watch as he stood behind the light of the moon. He had already spent an hour. Since there's nothing much to do, he kept looking around the house for clues, not noticing an unknown visitor been watching him.

Ryuunosuke didn't often return to where he'd killed people. It was usually a bad idea that led to you getting caught, and he didn't like the idea of getting caught and wasting time in jail.

Still, there wasn't a lot to do in this town, and honestly the idea of walking right up to a policeman and asking with fake concern what happened here was funny. So, he had headed towards the crime scene.

When he got there, though, he recognized the figure wandering around. That guy, he had a Persona and was awake during the Dark Hour. Kaito, right? He was totally alone here, which was kind of stupid. He didn't seem to have his weapon, and... probably couldn't use his Persona now, either, since it wasn't midnight.

Ryuunosuke wondered how he'd die.

With a silent grin, Ryuunosuke drew his knife and stayed hidden.

After he walked a perfect circle around the house, he eventually stopped near a light post. He took off his bag and had a bottle of drink. So far, he still didn't have a clue. He was hoping if he could find traces from the Shadow. Maybe he'll just have to wait till Dark Hour...

'THUD!'

All of sudden, the lights around the area went off. Kaito turned his head to the dimmed light post.

"Blackout, nice timing. Can't just wait till midnight?"

He scoffed as he placed the bottle back into the bag, and walked directly to the front door. The door was unlocked, so he simply pushed the door and went inside.

Man, could things get any easier? Ryuunosuke followed him, keeping a safe distance away. He just needed a really good chance. Another moment where Kaito had his back to him, and wasn't paying attention, and he was as good as dead.

Once Kaito got inside, he was quite grateful the place wasn't that dark. There's few glass windows allowed the light from the moon to reveal where he was going. He simply walked passed the living room, and there goes the shaped white tape on the floor.

"This must be the spot where he killed." Kaito clamped both hands together and prayed for the dead.

"...I need to find a flash light. That's probably a good start." He walked himself deeper into the house and entered a room.

The moonlight filtering through the windows was kind of cool, and it kept him able to see where Kaito was. Ryuunosuke crept closer.

He usually spent way more time on a death than this. He perfected each and every death until it was really something to behold. But, maybe this would be interesting just by virtue of where they were and who it was. A Persona-user? He'd never seen one of those die.

A little closer...

Kaito came up in a room, quite dark room with one window far end at the opposite side from where he stood. Looks like store room. He ignored mostly the stuff on his side, and slowly gazed at the window. That night, it wasn't full moon, but strangely enough he found it beautiful at night.

Maybe he just stayed there a little bit longer.

Closer, and... there. That was good enough.

While Ryuunosuke normally liked to drag things out, he knew the human body more than well enough to be efficient when he wanted to. His knife was long enough and he had the strength that he needed: someone who had a knife driven that many inches into the back of their neck, severing some important arteries and nerve endings there, wasn't going to make it very long.

He didn't brag or announce his presence, since he wasn't in it for glory. He just wanted to watch Kaito die, so as silently as he could, he crept up behind him and stabbed hard.

Kaito didn't aware this coming. He didn't even hear footsteps approaching behind him. The last thing he remembered was a enjoying the silent night alone in the victim's house, and he's the next target.

Sharp pain was felt through Kaito's chest from the back. He never had been stabbed before but this one was fatal. He clutched chest as he knelt down to the floor, and he's coughing hard. The next thing he knew, he was bleeding, tasted a blood coming out from his mouth, and he's getting weaker. He tried to turn behind him to see who's trying to assassinated him, but his blurred vision failed him with a small amount of light around the place.

His instinct told him to escape, and so he did. He forcefully pushed himself up and broke the window in front of him and dropped himself out from the house.

There was no way he wasn't going to watch. Still, Ryuunosuke would be easily seen if he went through that broken window too, so he had to find a better exit even if it meant taking the long way around.

Geeze. Kaito had better not die before Ryuunosuke caught up to him again. That would be so disappointing.

Kaito didn't go too far. He was stabbed nearly to his heart, and it's close enough to send him to death. With a lot of blood lost from his body, he couldn't stand still anymore. He knelt himself once again and dropped his weak body to the ground.

He caught his breath and trying to stay awake. He might be called for help, but he didn't have enough strength to do so.

Okay, better. It took Ryuunosuke a bit to get out the back entrance and into the cover of the trees again, but Kaito still seemed to be breathing. Clinging on to life pretty impressively. A lot of people would have given up by now.

Huh, was he going to have to get rid of the body? He used to do that, but lately he just hadn't bothered. Watching people panic, that was fun too. He'd leave Kaito behind when he was done dying.

Kaito was desperately out of strength, and he barely to move his body anymore. He clutched his bloody hand to cover the wound, and he's kind of frustrated about his white coat, which was now in red. He slid his other hand into the pocket, and took out his cell phone. Why he didn't call someone in beginning?

He made a one last silly laugh at his stupidly, before he dropped the cellphone next to him and let the darkness took his life. This must be how he was 'uninstalled', and it was the first time he experienced it.

"...Well, that was all right," Ryuunosuke commented quietly. It was usually funny when people realized what they could have done just when it was too late to do anything. It wasn't his best work at all, since it was mostly spur-of-the-moment, but it had been fun.

Ryuunosuke headed back to the hotel, making his way at first under the cover of the trees before he decided it was safe enough to walk in the open. He whistled a cheery tune, wondering how long it would take this one to end up on the news, too.
