(The Murderer) Chapter 5: The Beautiful Winter Murder
I wanted a beautiful death, peaceful and quiet. I wanted to die of old age. I wanted to die with someone I love beside me. Those thoughts are just wishful thinking now. They can never come true, now and forever. Those thoughts ended when I was murdered on a cold, winter night. It was far from the peaceful and quiet death I wanted. Instead, I experienced struggled, fought, and fought, until the last of my breath and my soul left my body. Yes, it was far from a beautiful death, but I am happy nonetheless. I fought my hardest and I’m just glad that no one I love witnessed it. Now, it’s time to move on.
Spring passed, people moved on, a new beginning. I can see and feel everyone moving on after my death. NEWS continued activities with 5 members, thank the heavens for that. People started to move on and put my death behind. It’s something I’m both happy and sad about. Sad because they are starting to forget about me, happy because they can finally start anew. My parents are starting to move on. Yes, they still think about me almost every night but those thoughts are good, memories they will treasure forever.
I rarely visit them now. I made new friends, spent lost time with unmet relatives and did all the things I couldn’t do in Earth. I found a fan in the heavens. We crossed paths in a park near my home and she squealed and pointed at me. At first, I was puzzled. Who wouldn’t be? Then she explained things to me and I finally learned that she was in a car accident early this year. We became friends, she squealed again when she learned that I was dating Nishikido Ryo.
“So those crazy fangirls’ imaginations are kind of accurate too.” She said.
“They imagine us like that? Because of the fanservice?” I asked her.
“Yup. Because of that.” She answered.
Our conversations never end there. We always have something in common and we found comfort in each other. She’s my second bestfriend here in heaven. My first is Mika.
I started watching my murderer again at December 16, 2010, the day his parents were killed. He long ago admitted to himself that he could not stop, that he would continue killing until the end of time. So I decided to watch. He’s in Okinawa. He found a victim in the outskirts of a town. A young girl, aged 20, a rebel. He brought her to a hidden cave and talked to her.
“Where do you live?” He asked her.
“Why do you care?” She asked back.
“I want to talk.” He answered.
“I don’t want to talk to you. It’s cold out there but if you’re just going to blab like that the whole time, I’m leaving.” She said in an angsty kind of voice.
“Wait.” No use. She already left. Disappointment filled him yet again.
He started to move toward the town to find another victim when he heard a crack from the ceiling of the cave. He looked up in time to see a pointed icicle falling to him. It hit him straight to the chest and he dropped, dead. A beautiful winter murder for a beautiful murderer. I left him there, hoping that someone will find him in the morning.
I went to where Ryo is right now, in the Johnny’s Building, practicing for Countdown. It’s bustling everywhere but NEWS is quiet, keeping to themselves in their dressing room. It’s the day I died, that’s what the police told them. They are praying, hoping that my murderer is caught and also hoping that I am happy where I am now. By that time, I already learned how to control my abilities. I made sure that the door is locked. It’s not, so I locked it. They all turned to the door and found me there, looking sheepish and embarrassed. Yamapi spoke first.
“Shige?” He asked.
‘Hi guys, it’s been a long time.’ I said, still embarrassed.
Ryo started walking towards me. When he is standing in front of me, he reached out his hand and touched my face.
“You’re cold.” He stated.
‘I wanted to tell you that my murderer is already dead. He died minutes ago.’
They stayed quiet so I decided to talk.
‘I want to tell you guys that I’m happy. I’m with my grandparents and my other dead relatives. I made friends in heaven. Don’t worry about me, okay. Do your best in the countdown and try to move on. It’s been a year already. Thank you for always thinking about me, for never forgetting me. Thank you for the memories we shared with each other. Koyama, Tegoshi, sorry for scaring you that night at the funeral home. Yamapi, Massu, thank you for being there, your mere presence is enough. Thank you for supporting my parents. Ryo, move on, fall in love. I will wait for you in heaven. We will see each other in heaven. I will still continue to watch over you.’
And with the final sentence, I disappeared.

Guys, thank you for reading this! I know I kinda rushed this and all. And I didn’t get to finish it on time. I’ve been busy the whole week because professors dumped us with homeworks and tests.
I might make a sequel. Rather, I am working on it. I want a happier ending. :) LJ's being crappy again. I shall edit this when I have time.
