A Sick Twisted Fate

What if there was a world…where Mion, Shion, Rika, Hanyuu, Satoko, Satoshi, Keiichi, and Rena didn't live in Hinamizawa, but somewhere else in the world, separated…?

Had their own, different problems there to face alone…?

And one day, meet each other and find out that they all knew each other, and that their memories of them living Hinamizawa had been erased and randomly came back in bits and pieces when something familiar that has happened in Hinamizawa occurs…

How will they fare…?

Will they be able to find who has done such a horrible thing to them and get everything that they held dear back…?

Or will they drift farther apart with differences and fall into the dark pits called fate…?

Only time will tell…

Chapter 1: Rika and Hanyuu

Somewhere, it was just sunrise in small town at Hong Kong. And at that somewhere, a small, fragile little girl wakes up from her peaceful sleep when a golden light strikes her left eye.

As she's wiping the sleep from her usually wide, violet orbs, she hears a comforting voice at her bedside whispering "zǎo shang hǎo, Rika." she smiles warmly.

Rika glances to her best, and only(yet imaginary)friend Hanyuu and yawns out " zǎo shang hǎo to you to, Hanyuu."

(A/N: 'zǎo shang hǎo' is Chinese for 'good morning' for they are in China. If it's wrong, blame Google and its evil Googleness!)

Rika hops out of her bed and heads to the bathroom door only a few steps away from her bed to get ready for another hellish day at school. Hanyuu just levitates to the top of Rika's bed to patiently wait for her friend to exit the bathroom.

After a good 7 minutes, Rika gets out of the bathroom in her school uniform that was merely a white dress shirt with a red tie, a small navy skirt, knee high socks and black penny loafers. Her eyes seem distant.

"Au au au…Rika, it's only 6:30 a.m., school doesn't start till 7:45 a.m. You practically have another hour and 15 minutes to spare." Hanyuu points out to Rika while she grabs her school bag and heads to the door blankly and unfocusedly.

Rika's eyes refocus and she just then replies reassuringly "Oh, sorry about that Hanyuu. I think I'm a bit off today." she smiles and heads back to her bed and hops next to Hanyuu.

"Did you fight with your parents again last night?" Hanyuu asks in a voice barely above a whisper, half hoping she didn't hear the question. Rika's body tensed a little and bit down on her lower lip as her body started to tremble, trying to hold down her sorrow. Hanyuu noticed that a tear fell onto Rika's skirt.

She tried to wipe Rika's face as she silently cries, but her hand just passes right through. So instead, she wraps her arms around Rika's body like she was hugging her, only not exactly. It was an awkward arm ring around Rika's body.

She stays like that until Rika has teared herself almost completely dry. She wipes the tears from her face still sniffling a little and takes a deep breath saying in a low voice "It got a bit physical…" as she says this, she pulls the neck of her tie and shirt to show a fresh silver-dollar-sized bruise on her right shoulder.

Hanyuu's eyes water a little and turns her head the opposite direction roughly away from Rika and whispers "duì bu qǐ, duì bu qǐ, duì bu qǐ, duì bu qǐ, duì bu qǐ, duì bu qǐ…" her shoulders are shaking and it sounds as if she was crying now.

(A/N: , 'duì bu qǐ' is Chinese for 'I'm sorry' if it's wrong, blame Google.)

Rika just smiles and says warmly "It's not your fault…" she then strokes her hand right above where Hanyuu's back was and whispered comfortingly "shhhhh…shhhh…it'll be ok…I'm fine…shhhh…"

After a few minutes, Hanyuu's sobs only become slight hic ups and she calmed herself down and turned to Rika and bowed her head, trying to hide her face.

A few minutes pass and Rika broke the tense silence by saying "I should go eat some breakfast. We still need food." right as saying the last sentence, a small grumble was heard from the little hollow area of her stomach. They both giggled for a second while Rika hopped off her bed and grabbed her bag and headed to the door. Hanyuu vanished from thin air.

Just as Rika stepped into the kitchen, Hanyuu appeared at the kitchen table with a small smile on her lips. "What should the Great Ol Rika Mitsuni shall have for breakfast this fine morning?" Hanyuu says in a playful tone. Rika playfully puts a finger on her chin, stuck her tongue out with a smirk, and crossed her eyes and replied "Hmmm… It obviously has to have a nutritional value for me, filling, and also something that will satisfy both of our taste buds…so I wonder if some sweet rice and jade tea would do the trick?". She looks to her companion and sees that Hanyuu is nodding her head vigorously.

As Rika has everything ready for breakfast, a knock is heard at the front door. "Mii…who would be here this early?" Rika asks mostly herself, gets up from her seat at the table and walks toward the front door and opens it slightly too see her doctor there.

"Dr. Komitake? What would you be doing here this early?" Rika asks the tall, light brown haired doctor in front of her. He cleared his throat and responded "Well for one, I'm here to see how your doing with your medication, and secondly, I need to talk to your parents on an important matter that you don't need to know."

Rika glared at him in bitter hatred. Luckily, he couldn't see it from his height. She just coldly answered "I think the medicine is working. And as for my parents, they don't wake up until usually around 8 o clock in the morning, and they really don't like it if they have to wake up earlier for reasons that can be atoned to another time where it is more reasonable for everyone."

The doctor just shuddered and Rika continued by ending it saying "Now if you excuse me, I have to eat my breakfast and make my lunch for school. Which I have to leave to go to soon. So good day to you Dr. Komitake."

Before he could say anything otherwise, Rika shut the door in his face and locked it.

Rika grumbled to herself back to the table. "Who was it, Rika?" the periwinkle haired spirit asked in concern. Rika swallowed her rice and said in disgust "It was that damned doctor. Probably wanting to discuss giving me more drugs so that I can stop my 'hallucinations' of you. Which your not." Rika smiles at the spirit and Hanyuu smiles back at her.

-x-x-x-x-

After a calm breakfast, Rika quickly packed her lunch and was making sure everything was in check. She then headed for the door and reminded Hanyuu for reassurance sakes "Make sure you don't talk randomly while at school. I have to make sure that I look like I'm getting 'better' so that teachers don't keep asking me about my 'condition'. got it?" Rika saw that Hanyuu made a determined face and nodded once. Rika smirked a tad bit and added, "And if it goes good, I'll make sure I eat a cream puff when mother and father aren't home. Just for you." this made Hanyuu start drooling a bit and bounce in mid air. She made a awkward fan-girl squeal of delight. "I'll do it just for you Rika!!" she made a salute and clapped her hands once and disappeared.

Rika chuckled darkly and walked out her huge house and walked alone to her elementary school of Hell. She was loathing what type of ridicule she'd get today. Just the thought of it made her sick.

"Only if I had a real friend…" she mutters to herself sadly. It's not that Hanyuu was a true friend, she was with Rika since forever.

It's just that…she wanted someone her own age to acknowledge her and not see a supposed mentally impaired child, or the child of almost the richest couple in the village; but see her as Rika. Just Rika, like Hanyuu does.

She also wished that Hanyuu was a solid person, instead of a spirit-like person whom she can only see and interact with. But a real person who she could hug, hold hands with, or even just poke at when bored. She wished they could have been born sisters, that would of made things in life simpler for her, lift a gigantic weight off her shoulders, a huge sigh of relief.

But it seems life will just be unfair to her and generous to other people who didn't even NEED it.

It just seems that she will keep the same identity for the rest of her miserable life…

Rika Mitsuni, the mentally impaired spawn of two extremely rich parents who believes she has an imaginary friend who has periwinkle hair, with two horns, and dressed like a shrine maiden.

If only there was someone……

There you go! Here's chapter 1!!

This one is really long! 4 pages it took!!

Hanyuu and Rika are 2 of my favorite characters so I can't really help it.

Also, Rika has a different last name because the parents in this story aren't her biological parents, they adopted her, she just doesn't know

ShadowCat is out peoples!!

Peace!
