They tried to look away but they couldn't for some reason, like it was pulling them in, finally after a few minutes Rika started walking to the statue.

"Rika," Keichii said.

"It's the statue of Oyashiro-Sama, why is it here, why are the people we dreamed about here?" Rika asked.

"I don't know, but it can't be good," Keichii said,

"Kei-Chan, we really should tell someone about this," Mion said.

"Who would believe us?" Rena asked.

"If we showed this then they would," Shion said.

"Yeah, tomorrow though, it's passed 9," Keichii yawned starting to walk away, "Goodnight,"

"Night, Keichii-kun," Rena said smiling, everyone said there goodnights and goodbyes unaware of who was watching, Ooishi.

"Get me a profile on these kids," He said through the radio in his car.

"I understand, Ooishi-san." Someone said through it. Ooishi hung up and then drove away, He seemed suspicious of them, all six of them, and was determined to uncover the so-called truth underneath it all.

The next morning everyone was tired, they didn't sleep a wink thinking of the statue and why it was in the junkyard in the first place. They only looked half-tired and a little slow as they went to school. Shion went back to her school unfortunately and she couldn't stop thinking of seeing Satoshi like that. She couldn't get it out of her mind at all, so couldn't the others. They heard rumors about the very same statue and got worried. Very worried.

"So Kei-Chan, you heard the rumors?" Mion asked.

"You can't miss them," Keichii said.

"They're spreading like wildfire," Satoko said.

"I'm worried," Rika said, "People think we put that statue there,"

"We just have to prove to them we didn't!" Rena said

"But how?" Rika asked.

"I don't know, but we will, somehow," Keichii said. His words didn't make the group feel better and he knew it, so everyone was quiet for a while. Everyone saw a car pull into the parking lot of the school and they were nervous.

"Keichii! You and your friends have a visitor!" The teacher said coming in the room looking cheerful. The group walked out in depression to see Ooishi waiting to them in the Main Office.

"Ah, you must be Keichii, Mion, Satoko, Rika, and Rena. No?" Ooishi rhetorically asked.

"Yeah, that's us," Keichii said a little slow.

"Relax, I'm just here for a few answers and I'm sure if you all answer with the truth them this can go by quick," Ooishi said.

"Okay," Satoko said.

"So what is that statue doing there?" Ooishi asked.

"I found it while Treasure Hunting for some old cans, I just say it and ran to Keichii then Rika then Mion who then called Shion," Rena explained.

"I see, what do you think it means?"

"We have no idea, we're trying to figure this out ourselves," Mion said.

"You see, the night before we all had the same strange dream about the ones who disappeared or were killed on the night of the Watanagashi Festival." Keichii explained.

"And you think this may be a result?"

"Possibly," Keichii said.

"Hmm, interesting. We do have all the bodies identified and they are one ones who died and disappeared then."

"Even my Nii-Nii?" Satoko asked.

"You mean Satoshi? Yes,"

The conversation was paused for a few seconds and then Rena broke the silence.

"Maybe it means that something else is going to happen this year in Watanagashi," She said.

"That is a possibility," Ooishi said, "I'll look into it. I'll come back with more questions,"

Ooishi left after those words and the rest of the day was silent for them, even at home. Each of them was thinking on Rena's words and wondered if it would be true, but they never really figured it out.

Hours passed and they were summoned to investigate in the Junkyard along with some cops. The bodies have been moved and the statue has been cleaned and is being moved. Shion was helping by digging through some stuff. Ooishi was flapping his yap with orders on moving the statue.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Shion asked.

"What?" Rika asked.

"The fact that only had that dream and it gets clearer every night! Something is defiantly up," Shion explained.

"Yeah, I'm getting nervous on what's going to happen, it's clear now," Keichii said.

"Every time we think of it we see it," Mion said.

"It also ends with that same statue," Rena added.

"That's because it's a sign," a voice said.

"Who are you?" Ooishi asked, "This is a currently restricted area! Unless you are authorized personal you must leave!"

"But why do you think this statue got here?" the voice asked, it came from an old woman in tattered clothes who stepped into the Junkyard.

"Well, it could just be a prank," Ooishi said.

"Wrong!" The old woman said, "There is only one reason this statue came to us. It is because the one who is the statue is here in Hinamizawa!"

"I don't understand, why could she mean?" Shion thought.

"What do you mean?" Keichii asked. The woman looked at him with stern eyes.

"It is because," the Woman paused, "one of you six is the direct reincarnation of Oyashiro-Sama himself!"

Shock went all around the junkyard as well as confusion, especially to Keichii and his friends.

"You're crazy! That's not possible!" Ooishi yelled, "You and your crazy ideas will leave at once!"

"Fine, but these children maybe want to know why. Come to the shire if you younglings want to know more," the old woman left after saying that and there was silence for the rest of the investigation.

"Are you sure we should go?" Satoko asked.

"It's probably the only way to see if that woman is crazy or not," Keichii said.

"I agree with Kei-Chan," Mion added.

"Okay," Rika said. They all rode their bikes up to the shire and walked up the stairs to find the old woman there waiting for them.

"I'm glad you six came" the old woman said.

"Is what you said at the Junkyard the truth?" Mion asked, "Is one of us really the Reincarnation of Oyashiro-Sama?"

"Yes, there is an old Hinamizawa legend, before this village was named Hinamizawa, that Oyashiro-Sama and five of this most loyal subjects will reincarnate and befriend one another," the old woman started, "once they all had the same dream they would find out who is Oyashiro-Sama and regain control of the faith and spread Hinamizawa farther. After this is done they will stay in that form forever,"

"No way," Keichii said, "that can't be true!"

"No one likes the truth anymore and unfortunately I cannot help you on this. If you choose who is Oyashiro-Sama on Watanagashi, the legend will continue. If not the village will die and you are cursed to live forever with your appearance never changing,"

"So, it's a lose, lose situation!" Rena said.

"That may be true, but it will decide the future of Hinamizawa, forever." That was that last thing the old woman left like the wind. Now they knew their lives would never be the same, no matter what.
