The Haunted Mask 2
A/N: Sequel to "The Haunted Mask". Not for Sendoh fans. I think.
Sendoh's P.O.V. It was the third anniversary of Kaede's death. I parked my Porsche outside the cemetery. I walked to his grave and read the inscription for what seemed to be the hundredth time.
"Rukawa Kaede. 1986-2002. Called to be with the Lord on 25th December 2002."
Sendoh breathed in sharply. Cold but crisp dawn air. The sky was still dark, and the mist showed no sign of lifting. Sendoh wrapped his jacket tighter around him and looked around. There was no one to be seen in sight. He laid the bouquet of blue violets down in front of the gravestone. Kaede's favourite.
"Hi Kaede-kun. It's been such a lonely year without you. Otou-san died of cancer recently. it's been pretty hard on okaa-san financially so I quit the basketball team to take a part-time job at McDonald's. I haven't found anyone new yet. it's so difficult to get you out of my mind. When you committed suicide, I had half a mind to imitate your rash actions, to join you. But, some mysterious force stopped me just as I was about to slash my wrists. Was it a sign from you, Kaede? That you want me to live on?"
Sendoh blinked. Was that. no, it couldn't be. Kaede was dead. Perhaps it was the mist. No, Rukawa Kaede stood in front of him, shadowy and translucent, but definitely there.
"Akira." the 'Rukawa' stretched out to take Sendoh's hand. Sendoh eagerly thrust his hand forward, but it went right through Rukawa's arm. It was like thrusting his hand into the Artic waters.
Rukawa's face was contorted into an alien expression. Evil. Yes, evil was the right word. Sendoh yelped and tried to pull his hand out of 'Rukawa's' but to no avail.
"Kaede! Let go of me."Sendoh whimpered.
Rukawa laughed. A terrible, horrible laugh. Sendoh cringed at the sound.
"Kaede? You thought I was Kaede? That weakling you speak of, has desisted to exist. Vanished. Did you really think he could win over me, my power? His body was merely a corpse I used as a disguise, and then cast off when it became useless, like several others. And now, Sendoh. it is your turn." The apparition hissed at him.
And then Sendoh felt it. The cold, evil, power attacking him, entering him. He fought it desperately but he was no match for it.
"Do not try to resist, despicable human." the apparition spat.
Sendoh gave in. The evil force immediately knocked him out of control, rendering him helpless. It was too late to turn back now.
The new Sendoh that sat up had an evil glint in his eye. Gone were the traces of his trademark smile. It was replaced by a taunting, awful smile.
"Ready or not, here I come...."
- End - A/N: The Haunted Mask 3 will be up soon if I get at least 10 reviews for this. Sayonara, hoped you enjoyed it!
