Such a beauty, what a wonderful woman! Surely there could be no equal to this angelic creature! She'd opened the door and my eyes had casually-- or so I'd though-- drifted to her chest, it was just an observation, no need to be so touchy. But I'd frozen..... and it was all over before I'd thought to ask her out. IDIOT!
I fell to my knees just a few feet away from Miss Sakamoto's door, set down my measuring cup and began pounding the ground, “AGH! I SHOULD DIE! I'M TRASH! HOW COULD I NOT ASK HER OUT!,” I cried, hoping SHE couldn't hear-- as if I cared what anyone but her...and Hikari thought--. “Ararara,” stupid noise. “Why were her eyes moving around? Look at something that wasn't there,” I found it strange. Maybe....could she be crazy? Ehh, still not enough of a turn off to keep me from asking her out next time. Strange, cute, older...., “Wow, I've got a complex, don't I? Haha, nee-san complex!,” I snickered, making fun of myself, the same way Hikari often did. If Hikari had been with me earlier she would say something like “Don't fool with older women, they'll break you!,” bah! What a hypocrite! I was only 15 when we started dating, she was 20! But maybe...maybe Miss Sakamoto wouldn't be interested in a younger guy...yeah...why would such a glamorous woman want a boyfriend who was just that, a BOY! I'd still ask her out, heh.
I picked my measuring cup off the ground and quickly made my way downstairs, leaving the lovely Miss Sakamoto and the strange wind behind. I looked up at the sky, it was really dark now, I didn't like leaving Hikari home alone, she might be my bitter ex, but before that she was my best friend, and still is. “I wonder if Hikari's still up,” I wondered aloud, cocking my head to the side, I heard a strange noise as I rounded the corner, like metal being forced.
I stood in front of the door and looked down, my key didn't go in all the way, weird. Only upon closer inspection did the horror set in. The lock was broken.....
“HIKARI!,” I roared, kicking in the door in blind fury. I saw the bastard glide down the hall after Hikari, like a damn ghost with a knife. I dashed after, half vaulting over the counter, I cut my leg badly on a knife half sticking out of the cutlery drawer. In a single lucid moment, when I didn't feel the desire to tear out a man's entrails, I realized that he was armed. I grabbed the knife out of the drawer, still stained with MY blood. I continued, moving quickly to Hikari's room, with a slight limp.
Once more the rage set in, I let it have me, hatred washed over me, pain cut into me, and justice whispered one word in my ear. 'KILL'. I kicked in the door to Hikari's room, grabbed the intruder and flung him off to the side. I rushed to Hikari, it didn't look like she'd been injured, she was just scared. I smiled warmly, trying to calm her, she would know it better as my JUDGMENT smile. “I'll take care of it,” I whispered, kissing her forehead before turning to the man who had dared set foot in MY home and threatened MY BEST FRIEND with DEATH, my judgment was the ultimate price! LIFE!
I flipped my knife over, he made the same move, I finally saw just how large his weapon was. I cocked my head and chuckled, “Mine's bigger,” I whispered. The intruder's eyes widened in terror as a thrust my blade downward into his shoulder, I could hear the muscle fiber tearing. Delicious. He struggled, pleaded, BEGGED me to let him go, I laughed in his face and told him that I was going to end his miserable existence in the name of JUSTICE. But...he broke free, cutting my hand as I tried to gouge out one of his eyes.
He bolted for the door, I followed closely, giving him just the smallest advantage, I knew where he would go. Just as I predicted he ran for the stairs leading up to Kaori's level, I smiled wildly. He shouted things at me like “WHAT ARE YOU!?” I answered, louder! “I AM A MURDERER, YET NOT A MURDERER, I AM A SINNER, YET NOT A SINNER, I AM A HAND OF JUSTICE!,”
I chased the bastard right to Kaori's door step and pinned him there, I bashed him in the back of the head-- trying very hard to resist braining him-- until he was flat on the floor. It was getting good! I could slaughter this man right in front of her! But...would I be praised? Or would she cringe away from me as if I were the monster? I knew one thing for certain....KIRA wold praise me!
I wore white to show my innocence, I would stain it red to show my resolve to help KIRA enforce justice! Justice that I hoped would give me a painless death...when the time came.
I reached up with my free hand and knocked hard on Kaori's door. I heard it open, slowly, and looked up, the word escaped my lips. “ERASE”.

Note: Haguro means black wings ^^ It's kind of a joke. Ren wears all white yet his own name identifies him as something that is not white.
