Chapter Text

"Hello Amamis!" came back Shirogane out of nowhere.

"Preparing a fortune-making con is no easy task, especially with two orphans that possibly could try and stop me. So, as an even extra incentive, i have decided to instead of just threatening you, i decided to do the easy thing and just murder your little brother~", said her with the most inhumanely cat smile every expressed.

"excuse me WHAT" said Shuichi.

She proceeded to pull out her pocket, Kokichi's black and white scarf, covered in blood. a small piece of flesh and nail was on the scarf, as if Kokichi was holding on it tightly. After taunting, Tsumugi threw the scarf on the very shocked Shuichi's face, and laughed.

However, her laughing was cut short by a wrench attack on the back of her head.

"You don't mess with me, or my brothers. Bitch." snarked Miu.

Korekiyo, who was watching screamed: "AAAAAAAAA", not for long, as Shuichi gave a mighty punch on his forehead.

"An house this old must have a boiler room. I found a staircase when cleaning the kitchen, it must be there." said Miu.

"w-what are we going to do?" said her very frightened brother.

"explode this damned house with everyone inside."

also, let us drag that filthy woman. when i make the boiler explode, i will make sure she's the first one to go.

after several hard minutes of dragging a grown woman into the basement, they arrived at the basement.

"Brother, strap on this garbage woman on next the boiler, i'll work."

Several Minutes Have Passed...

"Sis, i've done it, she's strapped, and she can't escape."

"Brother of mine, turn on that valve over there, now."

Shuichi turned the valve, and the last thing they said to each other on that house of hell was: "we only have 20 seconds. Run."

at 18 Seconds



They arrive on kitchen, Korekiyo and Shirogane are unconscious.

At 15 Seconds

They arrive on the dining hall, Korekiyo wakes on the room he was knocked out. Shirogane is still unconscious.

10 Seconds

Miu and Shuichi pass trough the living room, where the rest of the troupe is fast asleep, Korekiyo chases after them, and Tsumugi awakens, however safely strapped on.

"what the bloody hell am i doing down here along with this infernal, noisy machine? SOMEONE SAVE MEEEEE!!!"

7 Seconds

The Amamis leap into the street and run into a safe corner on the deserted street. Korekiyo smirked and leaned on the door.

"Oh you. Oh you people, kukukuku. Come back inside. I swear, for your insolence, lady shirogane will punish you like she never did before, she will make you WISH YOU JOINED YOUR PARENTS IN HEL-

The fiery explosion consumed all of the house, only several small pieces of debris hit the duo, when Shirogane's home and everyone inside was reduced to rubble and ashes.

The Amami children were bruised, tired, relived, shaking, crying, free of the abuse Shirogane delivered to them.

Yet, they had nowhere to go next. The home of happiness and joy, followed by the home of suffering and loss, both were consumed by the fire and Flames.

"What do we do next?" said Shuichi, to his sister. "...i... The best thing we can do now is hug." Replied her.
