Author's Note: Well, it's here! Chapter One of When the Children Cry! Okay, here's some background on the story. As we all know Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place in the year 1983, so I had to work around that since Charles Lee Ray was turned into Chucky in the year 1988. Ignoring those fairly minor details, instead of Chucky being sold in Chicago to young Andy Barclay, he was sent out to Hinamizawa. And who better to purchase the doll than Rena Ryuugu? And that's basically our basis for this story. Enjoy~ 3
We begin our story in the small village hidden within the mountains, Hinamizawa. Hinamizawa is quite and peaceful village full of lakes, streams, and lusious trees. The villagers are always friendly even their nextdoor neighbors in Okinomiya are friendly, eveyone has a strong tie with one another. And these strong ties with one another allow them to hide the dark secrets of their town from any "outsiders".
Young Rena Ryuugu, a teenage girl with short orange hair and aqua eyes, she was the brightest girl in the entire village. However, this defining asset of her's was all just an act. Alone, Rena has a desperately bleak expression of one that has lost all hope. She would claw at her throat until it bleed. She would do this out of fear from the one called, Oyashiro.
Oyashiro was known all too well in the quant village of Hinamizawa. He was the epitimy of fear. If one villagers goes against the wishes of Oyashiro and the village, they were said to be placed under a curse deamed, "The Curse of Oyashiro".
Each year during the "Cotton Drifting" festival, one person would always go missing and the other would die. And if a villager of Hinamizawa was to leave and move away, he would haunt you with his footsteps until you returned back to Hinamizawa. This is the dreaded "Curse of Oyashiro".
Meanwhile half-way across the world in Chicago, a brutal serial killer by the name of Charles Lee Ray, also known as the "Lake-Shore Strangler", was being chased down the damp streets at gunpoint by police officier, Mike Norris.
Luck was not in favor of Charles tonight, as he was shot in the leg by Officer Norris and abandoned by his accomplance, Eddie Caputo. Though he wasn't giving up just yet. The crafty killed shot the lock off a local toy store and ran inside to throw off the cop that was hot on his heels.
Realizing how close Charles Lee Ray was to death and threatened the cop and stumbled into a mountainous tower of "Good Guy" dolls. Thinking on his feet, Charles opened the box and took out the doll. He placed his bloody hands on the doll and chanted a voodoo spell. This spell referred to a being known as "Damballa", which is an unholy being like Oyashiro. After the spell was complete, the toy store exploded. Mike Norris survived, confirming the death of the lake-shore strangler Charles Lee Ray. What he wasn't aware of was that Charles Lee Ray was still very much alive...
It was a humid day in Hinamizawa. The cicadas cry echoed all throughout the village. Three friends, Keiichi Maebara, Mion Sonozaki, and Rena Ryuugu, were out walking the dirt roads of Hinamizawa towards the city of Okinomiya. They were heading out to a local toy store owned by Mion's uncle.
"You guys are gonna love this!" Mion pointed a finger up. "My uncle just got a shipment of those Good Guy dolls that were featured in America! He said that we can take one if we want."
Rena shivered in joy. "We can really take one home? Can we?" She asked. Mion nodded with a smirk on her face. Rena blushed happily and made a noise that can only be described as "Hau~"
The three friends finally arrived at the Okinomiya toy store. The automated glass doors slide open. Mion waved over to her Uncle, he smiled and waved back. Rena eagerily looked around the store like a hungery wild animal. And then she spotted them, the Good Guy dolls. Her eyes instantly lite up like 4th of July fireworks. She grabbed one off the shelf and danced around the store.
"Is that the one you want, Rena?" Mion's uncle asked with a sweatdrop.
Rena nodded with a kitty face. "Oh yes! I'm gonna take him home with me! 3" She hugged the box and rubbed her face up and down the edge of it. Everyone laughed at Rena's antics.
"C'mon open him up, Rena." Keiichi seggusted. Rena nodded and quickly removed the Good Guy from his box. "Hi, I'm Rena!" She said to the doll with a smile. The Good Guy blinked twice then replied to Rena with, "Hi, I'm Chucky! And I'm your friend 'til the end! Hiddy Ho!" It laughed the ceased motion. Rena smiled widely then hugged the doll tightly, squeezing him into her soft breasts. After Rena's long hug she removed the doll from her chest to see blood smeered on her dress. She looked carefully at the doll and found that the blood came from the doll's nose and there was also drool coming from it's mouth. "Cool! These dolls have bodily functions!" She wipped the doll's face clean before returning home.
Rena entered her home and went straight to her bedroom. She swapped her street clothes for pajamas, then flopped down on her bed. She stared at the Good Guy that she discarded on her desk chair. "I wish that I could be as happy as you, Mr. Chucky." Rena sighed. She began to stratch her neck.
The Good Guy's eyes turned into half open eyes, which Rena noticed immediately. She stopped straching at her neck and closely inspected the doll. "You're not that happy, are you? Are you?" Rena frowned and lowered her head. She stood up and turned out the light.
The next day Rena found her greatest enemy, Rina, sitting on the living room couch chatting with her father. "Oh, good morning Reina!" Rina said in her annoying tone.
Reina. Rena cringed at that name. Her "real" name. She had long given up that name in lou of a new one, Rena. Reina died with her past memories long ago. Along with that bitch who ended up dead in the front lawn. After that incident Rena no longer desidered to be called "Reina" or "sweet-heart" ever again.
Rena quickly put on a big fake smile. "Good morning Rinna! I was just about to go and get changed, so if you'll excuse me." She trailed off as she made her way back up the stairs and into her bedroom.
When she got inside her room, Rena slammed her door furiously and kicked a dent into her wall. She sat on her bed across from her Good Guy with deep hate burning in her eyes. "Do you see? This is why I can't be happy! It's all because of that slutty bitch, Rina!" She shouted.
"Then why not just kill her?" A dark voice said. Rena looked around the room, looking for the person whose voice she had heard. "Over here." It stated. She looked around again, with no luck. "Right in front of you, stupid!" It boomed. Then Rena realized that the voice was coming from her Good Guy doll.
"What happened to your voice Mr. Chucky?" Rena asked obliviously. The stood up from the desk chair. "First off, it's just Chucky. And this is my real voice. Haven't you ever heard of the great Lake-shore strangler before?" He asked proudly. Rena just blankly shook her head. "You have GOT to be kinding me! What kind of back-water place am I in?!" Chucky hollared in disbelief. "This is Hinamizawa." She answered. "What the fuck country is that in?!" He cursed. "Japan."
Everthing stayed silent for a few minutes. Until Chucky blew another fuse. "Japan?! Okay that does it! I'm outta here! Those two fuck heads are in Chicago right now, breathing!" He made his way to the door, until Rena spoke up. "Wait!" Chucky turned around giving Rena his undivided attention. "Can you stay here just alittle while longer? I need someone to help me, kill. And if you are this famous killer, I'm sure that you can help me." She pleaded.
Chucky turned away from the door with a big smirk plastered across his face. "Alright, I have some time to kill." Rena's eyes sparkled and a smile appeared on her face. "But, when this is all over you need to ship me out back to Chicago." He demanded. Rena nodded seriously in agreement, binding herself to Chucky's contract.
