A.N. All right, this is my first story, so please don't go easy on me. If you like it, tell me, if you hate it, tell me. If you think I'm ugly, go on and tell me. I was really bored, and my friend and I came up with this idea. So, if it totally sucks, you can go ahead and blame him! Yeah. Read on, and whatnot.

Disclaimer: I honestly don't know why we need one of these things. If I owned the Ring/Ring Two/Ringu, does anybody really think I'd be writing about it on a fanfiction site? No! I'd be out there making a Ring Three or something!

Chapter 1

Saige was a brilliant teenager. She enjoyed solving puzzles. She was also very lucky. One day, she won an all-expenses-paid trip to Japan. She eagerly accepted.

In Japan, Saige decided to do as many fun things as she could think of. The first thing that came to mind was to rent a Japanese video! Wandering the aisles of the video store, she came upon a movie she thought looked good.

hmm... this looks good. She thought. She rented the movie and went to the cabin to watch it. With popcorn and a pillow, she was ready to enjoy a video. She stuck the tape in and watched it. At first, it was just a bunch of static, followed bya whole bunch of seemingly random scenes flashing across the screen. Then it ended.

"Well, that was lame." She said out loud. Suddenly, the phone rang. So, like any normal person would do, Saige answered it.

"Hello?"

"Nana yoobi...!" A scratchy voice said over the phone, then hung up.

"When I look that up, it had better not be a swear word!" She yelled into the phone, then ran off to Google it. It meant seven days.

Five days later, Saige went home. Two days after that , she noticed that it had been exactly seven days since the creepy voice had told her she had seven days. Saige had no idea what she had seven days to do, but she really didn't care.

Suddenly, the television in her room flickered to life.

"Umm... okay." Saige said, using the remote to turn it off. It just came back on again. Then, a picture of a well appeared. Saige checked the VHS player, but nothing was in there. "Huh." She said to herself. "That's odd. I wonder if this is any good." A creepy Japanese girl with really, really, really long black hair hanging over her face came out of the well and started walking toward the camera.

That girl needs help walking. Saige thought. She looks kinda drunk. Then the girl came through the TV screen. "What the–!" Siage said, The creepy girl started crawling toward her.

"Excuse me," Saige said "But I couldn't help noticing that you're Japanese." The girl stopped. Never had anyone addressed her when she came for them! She nodded. "Yeah, I thought so. Well, do you have a passport? Because you do need one in order to come into the United States."

"Anoo..." The scratchy voice of the psycho girl started to say, before Saige stopped her.

"I'm sorry, but I can't understand you." She said. The creepy girl nodded, and suddenly subtitles appeared under her. "That's better!" Saige smiled, and the girl continued.

"I guess I don't have one" The subtitles said as she spoke. "I'll, uh, go get one." She turned and walked back towards the television. "Seven more days!" She called over her shoulder.

Saige smiled at her. "Okay!" She said. "Oh, wait!" The creepy girl stopped and looked at her, completely shocked. "What's your name?"

"Sadako." She replied. "Sadako." Said the subtitles. Then she went back in the well and the TV turned off.

"What an odd girl." Saige said to herself as she turned off the light and climbed into bed. "I think she wanted to kill me!" Then she went to sleep. Much faster than I can ever manage, by the way!

A.N. And a big thank you to Phish Tacko for pointing out that it is, in fact, "Sadako", not "Sadoka". I had watched that movie once ages ago, so yeah...
