Truth
Prologue
It has been one month since we stood up to Takano and the Yamainu. I remember it all so well. The cool chill on my skin as the rain fell, the adrenaline that coursed through me as we ran and the fear as Takano pulled her gun on Mion.
In that moment I felt helpless. I wanted to be the one to save Mion but I couldn't I just froze up and watched in horror. I kept telling myself to move to stand between her and the gun but my body wouldn't obey.
In the space of ten seconds my emotion changed. My fear faded and was replaced with shock. The person to stand between Mion and the gun wasn't me. It was Hanyu. The little girl who had just met us stood in the way. Even though she is young for that moment she seemed so mature. It must be a trait that runs in the Furude family as Rika sometimes seems to act far beyond her age.
As brave as she was I cant help but think about what she said on that hill. "Rika, this world was a lot of fun. I'm glad I was able to be a member of the club. I was really happy to be able to spend time with you, and not just watch. I'v had more then enough fun. Now shoot child of man!"
The way she spoke was haunting. When she referred to Takano as "the child of man" it sent a chill down my spine.
Im glad things are over. Im glad things returned to the way they were but I keep thinking about Hanyu. About how her eyes went from being a brilliant purple to pure black with a red pupil. About how the horns on her head were bigger then normal. I've questioned the others about this and they all say the same thing. "I didnt notice anything like that."
Are they lying to me or did they really not notice any thing strange about that girl. If I want answers im going to have to go stright to the source. I'll talk to Hanyu after school tomorrow and get the answers I want. I kept thinking about what I would say to Hanyu while I slowly drifted to sleep.
A/N: this is my first fanfic that I've written so please go easy on me. Anyway I really enjoy higurashi and thats why I decided to follow up the series in this way.
