quote: " I know I'm not Beautiful."

History:

I was always kind. I always tried to befriend people. Everyone, especially the ones people stayed away from. I did not discriminate against them, they were lonely or hurting, and I could make them better… I would do everything I could. It was my downfall.

I came from a respectable family, a beautiful young mother, who was previously a model, and a successful businessman father, nearing his twilight years. I was beautiful, like my mother, and equipped with a smart wit and sharp tongue, like my father. I was always a little quick to anger, but had patience when I needed it… I had a beautiful voice, but I couldn’t keep tempo for anything, I wasn’t too terrible at my studies, but mostly because I didn’t apply myself. I was seeing a son of a publishing firm; I was happy.

But that life is over now, and none of it matters. It all started when I met Nakata. He just transferred to my high school, and he wasn’t making any friends… and I have to admit, he gave off a very foreboding aura… but I paid it no mind. I befriended him, he was reluctant at first, but eventually he became very close to me. I was oblivious, deathly so, always was… especially to boys affections. I was naive to a fault needless to say… I was cured of that.

If I had paid closer attention, perhaps I would have caught the signs… he liked me. Like that. I was always making lunches for him, and trying to make him feel welcome… but I never felt like that toward him, I mean, I had a boyfriend. I didn’t realize until it was spelled out for me. One day, before summer break, he pulled me aside and spilled his heart out to me, “I’ve always loved your smile. You’re so beautiful… I used to be so shy, but then I realized that you must like me… you’re so kind… I think I’m in love with you Kirei-chan… please tell me you feel the same.” He spoke softly with a big grin on his face, and a slight blush. I was slightly abashed, how could he like me that way? Hadn’t I just treated him like everyone else? This was a mistake. I didn’t know what to say. He took my silence as encouragement… and grasped my arm to try and kiss me… this broke my reverie. I tried to back away, but ended up against one of the abandoned desks in the empty classroom, I tripped and fell as I tried to sidestep it, he looked slightly bruised from my rejection… his puppy hurt look quickly turned to anger at the look of fear mingled with disgust on my face.

I didn’t know what to do… I scooted away from him on the floor… his anger flaring. “I thought you were different Tsuji, I thought MAYBE you would ACCEPT ME! BUT YOU’RE JUST LIKE EVRYONE ELSE, AREN’T YOU?? How would you like to feel like ME? An outcast, IT’S YOUR PRETTY FACE THAT MAKES PEOPLE DRAWN TO YOU!!! How would you feel if you didn’t HAVE it? You’d be just like me… an outcast just like ME” Nakata yelled while standing over me, I didn’t know what to think… he lunged at me, and there was a high pitched scream resounding in my ears that took me a few moments to realize was my own. He thrust himself on me, pinning me against the legs of a chair, trying to kiss me, to pull at the vest of my uniform, I bit him, and he screamed, bruising my left check with his injured hand. “You think you’re BETTER than everyone else, DON’T you? Well lets see how much better you are under your clothes” He started to rip at my uniform, I punched and kicked, and managed to kick him in his pants, He doubled over just long enough for me to scramble away from him.

I made it out into the hallway, running as fast as I could, cursing my beauty, and cursing my kindness. I rounded a corner just as I started to hear footsteps chasing after me. I began to scream again, crying the whole time… I was loosing steam… running out of breath and the footsteps were only getting closer. I run out of the building, closing in on my house, which was only two blocks from the school. I can see my house, it’s so close… but I can’t run anymore. My boyfriend was supposed to meet me after school… I hope he’s there. It’s my only chance. I near my steps just as I feel an iron grip close around my forearm, whipping me around. It’s him. I’m not saved.

“How DARE you run away from me!? How can you TOY with me like THIS What gives you the RIGHT? You just think I’m not GOOD enough, Is it because you’re so PRIVALIGED? Because you’re so BEAUTIFUL? You think you’ll always have that pretty face, that SMILE, don’t you? DON’T YOU!?” that’s when I knew I wasn’t going to catch another break. He had a knife pressed up against my cheek, my back against the gate to my yard. I tried to plead with him… but nothing I said would placate him. There was a searing hot pain coming from the corner of my mouth. “I just want to see that pretty smile from you again. SMILE FOR ME and I’ll leave.” I forced my mouth into the biggest grin I could manage. Shock crossed my features when he jerked the blade across my face. “That’s right SMILE FOR ME BABY” He hooked the blade into the other corner of my mouth and yanked hard.

It wasn’t a pretty scar. It was jagged and the blade had been rusty. Dull. He kept his word. He left me there, on my front lawn broken and bleeding. My boyfriend found me like that. My back to him, he yelled my name I could barely hear him for the ringing in my ears, the black fogging my vision. I turned to him, crawling towards his voice. I looked up into his face, and was hurt by the shock and disgust scrawled across his visage. “K-ki-re…” He was scared. He was sickened. He was sick… he had doubled over and vomited his lunch into the flowerbed. He was backing away from my pleading advances, and turned hightail and ran. Screaming. That’s the last thing I remember from my human life.

-Personality-
Kirei is guilt stricken. She is what she is… and she has killed before. Why she doesn’t know… it was almost involuntary, like she was possessed to do it. Broken and alone asking strangers on the street whether or not she was beautiful… crying when they ran disgusted like her boyfriend. The next thing she knows… her hands are blood-soaked. And there is yet another body to inter. Until one day. It was raining. She knelt down and asked a small boy if he was okay, she’d witnessed him being shoved down by bullies, and his knee was bleeding from a deep gash across the bend. She’d felt compassion for the first time in what seemed like ages. With her face hidden behind a surgical mask… she didn’t frighten the boy.

“Are you alright?” She asked him, the first sentence not about her in a while. Her former self was rousing to the surface. Her mouth groaned in protest, the wound still wouldn’t close. “I-I’m f-f-f-fiiine” The boy sobbed, holding his knee. Kirei looked at him indignantly, “no you’re not and you know it. Let me help you.” And without thought she pulled off her mask and began to tie it around the boys’ leg for a makeshift bandage. “What h-happened?” he sniffles pointing to her face. Whipping away one of his tear that were indiscriminately mixed with water droplets. Shock crossed her face as she realized that the boy was not afraid, but concerned. “oh… It’s nothing… just a boo-boo.” The boy chuckled “it’s okay I have one too, mommy calls it a ‘scar’! seeeee??” The boy says as he pulls up his shirt to show her a lengthy set of stitching along his abdomen.

“what happened to you?” I ‘m curious… this boy doesn’t fear me… it’s so unusual. “ Mommy says my ‘pendix bursted. So they had to givee me this cool scar. Is that what happened to you? Did your ‘pendix burst too?” I giggle at this… “no nothing like that… but you should go back to your mommy, I bet she’s worried.” I smile at him. It hurts.
“Okayayyyyy Bye bye Pretty lady!!” he says as he runs off, a big grin on his face. I sewed up my mouth that day, just like his scar. It still won’t close, and sometimes tried to wiggle out of the hold, sometime it bleeds. But it’s close. And I haven’t killed since. I know I’m not beautiful… I don’t need to seek mollification. I only cut when I do… so I simply won’t. I need help to become something more than I am… That’s why I’m here. “Halloween Academy… Let’s see what you have to offer me… You’re my last hope.”
