章 4: Chapter 3

"Though before we start our game, I want to ask you something Miyuki. Why did you cheat on me with Akihito? I have never cheated on you. I tried to give you the best things I could afford. I took out some time for you every month even though I was completely swamped with work. I loved you so much.

If its the sex, I always make you cum at least twice every session. My penis at seven inches is pretty decent if I say so myself. Akihito used to be my best friend and I was unfortunate enough to have a glimpse of his penis. I'm pretty sure that it is nothing impressive.

So why?"

All that Miyuki gave in response was choked sobs. It seemed like Akihito had gained some clarity as well as masochism back during Takahashi's rant. He appeared quite angry. He tried to struggle against the bindings, but it was mere futile resistance.

"Takahashi stop this right now. Do you know what kind of deep shit you are in right now? If you don't free me and Miyuki then bad things will happen. If you do anything to us, the neighbours will definitely be alarmed. They will call the police and it will be game over for you."

Takahashi just mirthlessly chuckled at Akihito's words and looked at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world.

"It seems you are not quite clear about the situation you are in. I have already said that I don't give a fuck about my life. Do you think your threat will work on me? "

Sigh!

"I was not going to hurt you before we had a clear winner for the game but it seems like you don't want to follow the rules. Well seems like Miyuki wins by default. Congratulations Miyuki! You get to see your lover be tortured to death. Would you like some popcorn and beer? No? Well, then sit back and relax. I will do my best to make this an enjoyable experience for you."

Realizing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Akihito started panicking.

"Takahashi wait. You are my bro, right? Just forgive my insolence and let's play the game you were talking about. I will follow your every rule."

"You got quite a few facts wrong there. First, I'm not your bro anymore. Second, Your voice is irritating me."

And without any prior warning, Takahashi slammed a knife down his ex-best friend's throat. Although the amount of damage done was minimum, he just wanted to intimidate Miyuki with this action. And it worked like a charm. Miyuki started screaming in fear. Alas! the Alec Benja**** song was doing its work. None of the neighbours reacted to the banshee like scream.

Takahashi took out the knife with a rough twisting motion, wounding Akihito's mouth and throat even more.

"Have you ever seen the Joker's make-up. I always felt that something was missing about those red lines on his face. What if there was actual wound instead of red make up? Let's try it on you, Akihito."

"Please no. Don't do this. I'm sorry. It was Miyuki who seduced me. Bro, please calm down. I swear I will not call the police, please let me live!"

"Tsk,Tsk....I didn't expect this from you Miyuki. I always thought that you were a little too naive for your age. But I guess behind those innocent eyes, something sinister lies, huh?"

"Takahashi it is not like that. I didn't seduce Akihito. He started it all. I wanted to stop it but-"

"You gradually fell in love with the immoral feeling? Bitch, do you think I'm stupid? I have been planning for over three weeks for this day. Did you really think I didn't put any surveillance on you guys? I clearly read the lovey-dovey texts between you two and I even have a few videos of your brilliant sexcapades, so I think its a bit too late to push blame on someone else."

Not paying attention their begging and grovelling anymore, Takahashi found a suitable angle and started lightly cutting Takahito's face.

"See, I'm so diligent. I'm drawing an outline first so that I don't mess up your look."

Takashi responded with deep fear in his eyes, too scared to open his mouth and hasten the process of mutilation. The fear worked as a great stimulant for Takahashi. He got to work with greater motivation.

After a few minutes, Akihito's mouth was hanging open. It gave Takahashi an easy access to his tongue.

'Hmm...Might as well cut this off. It will reduce noise pollution.'

After having made the decision he quickly dove back with gusto to complete the task. By now Miyuki had completely become numb to her surroundings. She could have never imagined that her gentle Takahashi would turn into such an appearance.

Akihito, on the other hand, couldn't handle his tongue being separated and promptly passed out after a voiceless scream.

"Wife, I think I should give you a little bit of punishment too. I don't want to be referred to as sexist. Frankly, I really like the idea of equality between men and women with respect to their rights and responsibilities. I have a really suitable punishment for you. Sit tight, I will be right back."

Hearing Takahashi's gentle voice all Miyuki could do was regret everything. She wanted to protest, she wanted to beg but she knew it won't work. Although Takahashi looked gentle and timid but she knew how determined he could be if the situation needed it. If he starts doing a work, he won't stop until he has finished it.

Takashi returned shortly with a jar containing sea salt. He went behind Miyuki and tore away her t-shirt. He softly touched her back and reminisced back to the happy times in their relationship.

Sigh! Life!

"Wife, I will carve slut on your stomach. I will pour some sea salt over it so that it can form a good scar. It will hurt a bit, but this is a punishment so you need to endure it.

It will really heighten your difficulty to find genuine future partners, but...if you do find one, Don't treat them like me. Treat him or her nicely. They have forgiven you for your past mistakes and truly accept you. I sincerely hope you can mend your ways in the future."

Miyuki had started crying halfway through the speech but Takahashi didn't falter. He carved each letter very patiently. Although Miyuki tried to struggle, she couldn't do much because of how tightly her limbs were bound to the chair. Her pitiful screams were like sharp arrows stabbing into Takahashi's heart, but his heart was hell bent on destroying itself so he didn't stop.

The whole process took more than 10 minutes and by the end of it, Miyuki was just a crying mess. Her throat had turned hoarse from all the shouting and now she couldn't even speak properly.

Takahashi let her be and started smoking a cigarette while waiting for Akihito to wake up. He didn;t have to wait long.

As soon as Akihito regained consciousness he tried to speak something. Maybe he was trying to beg to be forgiven? But unfortunately, Takahashi had made up his mind to kill him today.

Crushing the cigarette under his heel Takashi went to the kitchen and brought a red hot knife. It was so hot that he was using an oven mitt to safely hold it.

Without saying anything he proceeded to skin Akihito alive. It was a very time-consuming process but he was able to completely skin everything below his chest. He took a few small breaks during the process and broke Akihito's fingers or inserted the knife into his ears and eyeballs to keep himself entertained. Overall it was quite a satisfying task.

He had been trying to get a reaction from Akihito for past five minutes but the bastard had completely stopped responding. Deciding that it was boring to do anything else to Akihito, he used the sharpest knife to gently decapitate his ex-best friend.

He turned around to take a look at Miyuki and realised that he may have scared her a bit too much. Well, she was a strong woman, she would be able to go on living.

As his task was finished and the sun was about to come out, he decided that it would be too much of a hassle to pretend that he didn't do anything. So, discarding his original plan of going back to the other city for the business deal, he decided to have a can of cold beer with some chips. After he finished them, he took out his phone and dialled 9***, the emergency phone number.

"Hello, I'm would like to report a crime. My name is Takahashi. I have tortured my best friend to death and I have severely wounded my wife. I am still at the crime scene. The address is **************. Please come quick or one more innocent person may die today."

The police and paramedics were very quick to act. It hadn't even been five whole minutes before the whole area was filled with the police siren. A swat team quickly burst into the room and tried to detain him. Alas! Takahashi had already passed away. He had slit his own throat.

Takahashi didn't like the idea of committing suicide but he didn't want an innocent police officer to have blood on his hand due to some stupid domestic dispute. So, he had gathered his courage and slit his own throat.

'Miyuki still didn't answer why she cheated on me.'
