I don't own Higurashi or any of the characters in it

I might finish/work on it again depending on the feedback. This is my first fanfiction though so I'd like to know what you think~ R&R

if you have a problem with shoujou ai don't read it. I don't want anyone complaining.



"SHTOPPP IITTTTTTTTTT!! PLEEASSHEE SHTOPP RIKA-CHAAAANN!" An purple haired, floating girl yelled, but her cries fell upon deaf ears and one very annoyed little girl.

"Idiot, Hanyuu! You should've revived me earlier, the Watanagashi is next week!" Rika yelled back, sticking another spicy croquet in her mouth and sipping it down with some sake.

"I'M SHORRRYYYYY I'M SHOORRRRYYYY!! PLEASHHEEE SHTOOPP" She cried out in excruciating pain.

Rika stopped and looked to her left, where to anyone else it'd appear to be empty space, "Satoko's with her Uncle already… I can't do anything to help her..." Tears flooded her eyes and rolled down her face. Hanyuu floated over and tried wiping them away to no prevail, the tears passed right through the doll-like hands. She pulled her hand away and Rika wiped her face off.

"I'm sorry…. Hauu auuu…." Hanyuu said, her mouth finally cooled.

"No... I'm sorry.. It's... it's not your fault." She stepped down from her perch on the windowsill and walked into the kitchen, placing her chopsticks in the sink and her takeout box in the trash. She hid her sake bottle under the sink with the rest of her stash.

"Rika… I'll try harder… next time…"

"Don't.. Don't worry about it! nipa...." Rika replied trying to sound cheery, trying not to look hurt. It was childsplay to tell she was lying, her forced smile, her teary eyes.. She walked over to the two futons on the floor and laid down on hers, she turned onto her right side as she always did when Satoko was there. But knew she wasn't, she rolled onto her back and stared at the blankness. Hanyuu sat on the empty futon and watched as tears slowly streamed down Rika's cheek without making a sound, she just stared blankly at the uninviting ceiling of her house. She closed her eyes, but couldn't go to sleep. She rolled onto her side again and looked at Hanyuu sitting quietly beside her.

"Hanyuu…" Rika said, looking into Hanyuu's eyes.

"What is it?"

"If you lay down… it'd make me feel more comfortable."

"O-okay.. hauu" Hanyuu said, trying to lay down her weightless body.

"Thanks." Rika said, and tried to cuddle up to Hanyuu, but her efforts were in vain. She stared at Hanyuu, she put her hand over where Hanyuu's would be, if she were real. She smiled, and closed her eyes as the cicadas lulled her to sleep.
