Enma Ai is writing in her diary:
"I... I'm not allowed to love him... But I can't resist... I've been with him for a long time now and he looks even more charming each day... They've all tried to stop what I feel for him but I can't-"
"What's that?"
"Ren-kun! You scared me..."
"I'm sorry Ai-chan."
"So, what did you want?"
"We have a request."
"Oh. Who is it from this time?"
"A 3rd year student from Seisou Academy of Music."
"Ok. Let's go."
Ai goes to the room of 3rd year student Kazuki Hihara. He is trembling on his seat and jumps as he hears Ai's voice.
"You called?"
"Who, who are you?"
"My name is Enma Ai."
"You're... The Hell Girl... Please... Take Azuma away for me! He's stealing my Kahoko away from me..."
"Take this doll. If you truly wish to eliminate the person tormenting you, you must pull the red string and the person you wish to eliminate will go directly to hell. However, once the person's soul is in hell, you must in turn make a payment to me. When one person is cursed, two graves are dug and when your body dies, your soul will be taken straight to hell. You will never experience paradise. Your soul will be left wandering in pain and suffering."
"I... will go to hell to huh..."
"The rest is up to you."
"Wait I-"
Ai disappears and Kazuki is left standing in the middle of the room, doll clutched tight in his hands. Kazuki thinks hard as the webpage disappears. He looks at the doll and bangs his head on the table.
"I'm sorry... Azuma..."
Back in Ai's world, she lies down in the middle of the room with a full view of Ren struggling with Kikuri. He wonders if loving him will be allowed. She turns to ask her grandma.
"Obaasan, is it ok for me to love someone?"
"At your state? Ai, I think it's alright but the Lord of Hell wouldn't like it. He knows everything."
"But Obaasan!"
"Do you really love this guy?"
"Of course I do!"
"Then tell him. It wouldn't hurt now would it Ai?"
"But..."
"Who is he Ai?"
"Ren-kun..."
"Well. It's only Run-kun isn't it? Tell him!"
"May be later..."
"Fine by me..."
Ai lies back down on the floor but notices that Ren was listening to the whole conversation. She starts to cry and runs outside the house to the place she goes to when she's sad. The river. She sists and cries while thinking of what Ren might say. Then, just at that moment, Ren comes running to her.
"Mistress!"
"Go away Ren-kun!"
"Why? I wanted to tell you something!"
"What is it?"
