Kyouya: Drip, drip, drip...

That was what I heard when I woke up. Dripping. The incessant drip of some liquid there to curse our very beings. Something just seemed so wrong. I couln't help but shudder, and still all I could hear was the drip, drip, drip, right by my ear in a warm puddle. I was almost afraid to open my eyes, but open them I did.

I wasn't in detention any more. The shiny, new ceiling from the academy schoolhouse was replaced with an old, rotting mound of wood with something fresh and meaty pinned to it. Where was this? A slaughter house? Poor cow, I thought as I stood.I reached up to wipe the wetness from my ear, and that was when I realised the dripping liquid was the cow's blood. At least, I preferred to think of it as a cow. It was too small and there was a band of cloth around it, ruined and bloodstained. I shuddered again, not wanting to think what it might be, when something grabbed me from behind. I cried out.
"Kyo! Oh thank goodness, I thought I would be all alone, I was so scared!" I tried to twist to see over my shoulder, but I knew the voice. Tsusumi.
"Rumie, let go!" I snapped, voice cracking. She did as she was told and I breathed a sigh of relief. I turned to face her, and she was crying. "What's wrong?"
"The door still won't open. I want to go home. I don't know where we are. Oh, but at least you're here. My night in shining armour, Kyo. You'll keep me safe like I'm your precious princess!"
She hugged me again and I tensed up. She got pretty weird like this at times, but surely she could tell I only thought of her as a friend. I gently patted her back.
"It's alright. We'll find a way out f here." I promised, glancing uneasily back up to the splattered body above us. I hoped we would find a way out of there before whoever had done that got to us too. For safety I gently took Tsutsumi's hand. She shot me a smile. Strange, I thought as I led her over to the door, trying to slide it open. As she had said before, it wouldn't. Almost as though it were locked. Why would it be locked, though?
Many reasons, replied his rational mind.
"We need to find a way to get the door open, Rumie. See anything we could use?"
She shook her head quickly. I knew she was lying, so I gave her what was simply known as my 'look'. After a moment she let out a high pitched whine.
"Bones and wood, Kyo. We'd need a key."
I gave a nod and sighed, giving one last look to the cow. I went over to a supply closet and tried the door, and it came off the hinges and fell to the floor. Suffice to say I was already thoroughly creeped out by this place, but it wasn't made any better by what I found in the closet.

A bloodied body was crammed up inside. It looked to be a junior high girl. It looked like her flesh had just bubbled and burst. It was horrible. I clamped a hand over my mouth, feeling a wave of nausea wash over me. The girl had something shiny in her hand, but I didn't want to take it. Instead I stumbled back with a scream. It was awful. Worse yet, everyone from school would be here somewhere. This wasn't a good place. How would Kazufumi manage? He wouldn't. He would freak out. I wanted to find him and make sure he was alright. I couldn't take it, I decided as I staggered back further, turning to throw up. I was under the cow again and something wet and solid fell on me...oh god...I knocked it off without half a thought. Rumie was able to force the bony hand away from the key. The fingers opened out with a loud 'crack'. I covered my ears and watched as she went to the door and unlocked it. One side of my head was slick and wet. I hurried after her as she stepped out and she caught me in a tight hug. "It's okay, Kyo...it'll be fine, I swear..."
