Again,like my previous HHPAY stories,this fic uses the animated versions of Ami and Yumi,not the actual people.
Also,I was heavily inspired by Luminous-Kyo's story ''Fall Of The Rock Goddess'' for this.
CHAPTER ONE: Rage
It was a Thursday night. Ami,Yumi and Kaz were at a campground about a half-hour's drive away from the town they would be performing at the following night.
The three of them were sitting around a campfire roasting marshmallows. Ami and Kaz were having a good time. At that moment,Ami noticed Yumi wasn't joining in the marshmallow roasting;she was simply sitting at the picnic table,moping.
''Umm...Yumi?'' She asked. ''Is something bothering you?''
''Hmm? No...nothing...nothing at all.'' Yumi said.
She got up from the table.
''Where are you going?'' Ami asked.
''I...uhh...need to check on Jang Keng.'' Yumi said,then she went back into the bus.
Yumi was in her room looking at all the pictures,gold records and the like on the walls. Jang Keng hopped up onto the windowsill and watched her. Yumi noticed her and walked over to the window. She petted her. After that,Yumi looked up at the sky and sighed.
''Honorable Buddah,'' She sang softly, ''You know I am a righteous one. Of my virtues I am justly proud.''
Jang Keng watched curiously as Yumi walked away from the window and looked at the stuff on the walls again.
''Honorable Buddah,you know I'm so much better than that common,vulgar,good-for-nothing crowd.''
Everything seemed to be fine until Yumi angrily stamped her foot on the ground.
''Then tell me,great Buddah,why do I feel all this rage? Why everyone I see crushes my soul?'' Jang Keng jumped back in surprise.
''I know it! I feel it! The desire to crush them back is raging in me out of all control!'' Jang Keng's eyes grew wide with shock as Yumi punched one of the pictures on the wall.
''Like fire! Hellfire! This fire deep within! This maddening desire is forcing me to sin!''
Jang Keng hopped onto the bed and watched as Yumi paced back and forth around the room angrily.
''It's not my fault! I'm not to blame! It's all their faults,the ones who set these flames!'' Yumi shouted.
''It's not my fault ( if ) in the god's roles,they made hatred so much stronger than my soul!'' She ran back to the window. Jang Keng followed. The look on Yumi's face made it clear that she was ashamed of all this.
''Protect me,great Buddah! Don't let this hatred stay in me! Don't let the fire sear my flesh and bone!'' But at that moment,the shame was gone. She raised her fist at the sky. ''If they cross my path,they'll all taste the the fires of hell! Then I'll live out my days of fame alone!''
''Yumi?'' A voice piped up. Yumi gasped and turned around in surprise. It was only Ami.
''What is it?'' She asked.
''Kaz wanted to know if you'd like the last few s'mores.''
''No thanks.''
''Okay then...'' Ami was about to leave Yumi's room when she noticed something. ''Yumi...why is there broken glass on the floor?'' She asked,pointing to the shards of broken glass from when Yumi punched the picture on the wall eairler.
''Oh...you mean that?'' Yumi said,pointing to the shards with her thumb. ''A picture...ehhh...fell...that's all...'' She laughed nervously.
''Umm...okay...'' Ami said as she left. Something fishy is going on,she thought.
Yumi sighed. ''Great,'' She mumbled under her breath. ''As if I needed even more trouble...'' She walked back over to the window,clutching a crumpled up fan letter in her hand.
''Hellfire,dark fire. Mess with me,it's your turn! Discover your pyre! Mess with me,you will burn!'' She threw the crumpled letter out the window.
Yumi walked over to the wall. ''Gods have mercy on them...gods have mercy on me...'' She leaned up against the wall,hanging her head in shame. But,again,the shame left as quickly as it came,and Yumi turned around with a vengeful look on her face.
''But if they mess with me then they...will...BURN!'' She shouted,then fell onto the floor,panting.
