The Cliff
"The house was built in 1890 for the Coin's. Emily and Jacob Coin had three children, Jessica Mark, and Christy. They lived happy in the house for five years before their oldest daughter, Christy disappeared. According to the police reports she committed suicide by jumping off the cliff. Her friend Nicole Thomas said that Christy had been depressed about Leo's death a few days before she went missing. Leo was Christy's lover and was stabbed in the heart three days before. A year after Christy's death, the family moved out abandoning the house.
"Seven years ago a police man got a report about something strange happening at the house. Since it was abandoned he thought that a bunch of kids were in it. When he went in on the floor in front of the stairwell was an envelope. When he opened it he found the deed to the house and a note that had two words written on it. I'm sorry. Two years later the Carter's bought the house and moved in with their three adopted children Aki, Yuuki, and Kana." said Yasuhara as he looked up from the papers he was holding.
"So the house was actually abandoned for seventeen years." said Ayako.
"What do you have on the Carters?" asked Naru.
"Well not much. Amanda and James Carter lived in London for most of their lives. They went to Japan for vacation six years ago. They came back with three children saying that they fond them on the street. According to the records Aki Yuuki and Kana were never in an orphanage so what they said must be true. The weird thing is that Aki was of age when she was adopted. She was technically the legally guardian of Kana and Yuuki. Yet she let them be adopted by strangers and moved them to a different country. As you've seen she came along too but I check all the collage and high school records in England and Japan but none of them have ever had students named Yuuki, Aki or Kana which means they never went to school and they are still not going." Yasuhara looked up at Naru. He was sitting there with his hand to his chin thinking. The door opened and Aki walked in carrying a tray of tea. She froze when everyone looked at her.
"I just thought you might want some tea." She said with a small smile.
"Oh thank you." said John. Aki smiled at him and placed the tray on the table. Bou-san, Ayako, Masako, John, Yasuhara and Lin grabbed a cup. (Well Ayako brought him the cup.)
"Do you mind me asking why you are still living here if you are old enough to leave?" Naru asked Aki. She turned to him.
"I could never leave my sisters."
"Well why don't you take them with you?" asked Bou-san.
"because that would be selfish of me. Amanda and James are really good people. They can give my sisters what they need while all I can do is making their lives worse. I don't have a job, I don't have a place to stay and I have no money. When I was growing up my parent had no money. Then my mother gets sent to a hospital and my father kills himself, until the carters took us in, we out on the street. Kana was one and Yuuki was eight. Anytime I got my hands on food I would give it to Yuuki or Kana. When I first met the Carter's it was when I was trying to steal there food they had just bought. I was starving and Yuuki was sick. They followed me and when they saw where I was going and why I stole the food they asked me to come live with them in England. They said they had just bought a huge house and that it would seem lonely by themselves. I couldn't say no. I had to think about Yuuki and Kana. That's why I'm still here. I have no where else go and even if I did I wouldn't go. Even if Yuuki doesn't show it she loves it here and so does Kana." Aki said. The door opened and a maid walked in looking frantic.
"Miss Aki, Kana is out by the cliff and every time someone tries to approach her she moves closer to the edge." said the maid in English. Aki ran out of the room followed by the maid.
"What did you do?" asked Bou-san. Naru looked stunned.
"What? What did she say?" asked Ayako not understanding English. John looked at her and said "Kana's out by the cliff and isn't letting anyone near here." Ayako turned to Naru. "What did you say to her?" yelled Ayako as she stood up. Not waiting for an answer she ran out of the room to help get Kana off the cliff. Yasuhara and Bou-san followed forgetting about Naru. Masako continued to stare at Naru. When she left the room Kana was still here and when she came back Kana had left but she never imaged she would be by the cliff.
"Kazuya-san what did you say?" asked John looking worried. Naru looked at him.
"Nothing." he said coldly before walking out of the room.
Flashback
"When will you play with me?" asked Kana looking up at him with curious eyes.
"I'm not."
"Why?'
"Because I have to work." Naru said trying to concentrate on the paper in front of him.
"Will you play with me when you're done working daddy?"
"I'm not your father." Naru snapped. Kana flinched at his tone. She looked down at the ground sadly.
"I know." She said. Naru looked at her shocked. She continued to stare at the floor. "I know you're not my daddy but I don't want to be alone and…" she sentence trailed off as she tried to find the words to say. "and your the closest person to daddy." She said as tears filled her eyes. Naru couldn't believe he was actually starting to feel guilty about this. He sighed and looked back at the paper. "Fine, just let me finish my work." He said. Her head snapped up. She smiled up at him before running out of the room. Naru watched as the door sung close behind her.
End
Naru ran out of the house and towards the cliff where he saw a group of people. Up at the top of the hill was Kana she was looking over the edge of the cliff inches from the edge. The maids and workers were trying to get her to come down but she ignored them. Naru walked up to the front of the group everyone become silent and watched him.
"Kana." He called. At the sound of his voice she turned around to look at him.
"Hi Daddy!" she said with a smile.
"What are you doing?" he yelled up to her. She looked confused. Then she pointed out at the ocean. "I wanted to see the ocean." She said.
"You can see it from here baka."
"I know but I wanted to see it from up here." She turned back to the ocean. Apparently she had no idea what kind of danger she was in. Naru took a step forward. Kana continued to stay were she was. He had never been in this kind of situation before and he hoped that it would be his last. He took another step but Kana also took a step closer to the edge. Naru took a step back but she stayed where she was.
"Naru!" someone screamed. He turned around to see something fly past him. Turning back around he saw Kana leaning forwards and slowly starting to fall off the edge.
Konta ran as fast as she could and at the last minute jumped and reached out her arm. She grabbed the little girls arm and held on tightly. The little girl dangled there, tears pouring down her face. "Are you alright?" Konta asked as she winced. Pain was shooting all over her body. The fact the she landed on her stomach with her upper half hanging off a cliff didn't make anything better. She held onto the little girl with her right and with her left she held onto the cliff so she didn't fall.
"Konta!" someone screamed. There were footsteps and then someone was standing above her. Konta watched as the little girl's face lit up. "Daddy!" she yelled. Konta looked up to see Naru standing there looking down at the two of them. "Um….a little help would be nice." Konta said. Naru got down on his knees and leaned over the edge, extending his hand. Kana reached for it and grabbed it. Then Naru helped her up and onto the cliff. As soon as she was standing on the cliff safe Aki pulled her into a tight hug. Naru watched them for a moment before remembering Konta.
"What are you doing here?" he asked. She looked up at him and said "It's a long story." she gave him a small smile. Her chest jolted inward and she started to cough. Putting her left hand over her mouth and her right on the ground to support her she went into a couching fit. Naru grabbed her shoulder to hold her up. Everyone watched as Konta desperately tried to breath. After a few minutes it started to calm done and she was able to say "I'm fine.", before coughing a little more. Naru watched as Konta wiped something off her mouth. He knew what it was. It was blood.
"Thank you miss for saving me!" said Kana. She walked over and hugged Konta who smiled down at her. Kana pulled back and ran over to Naru. "Thank you daddy!" she said as she hugged Naru. Before Naru could think about doing anything she let him go and ran back to her sister. Now that Naru looked around he saw Yuuki standing in the back. She looked angry and worried at the same time. When she noticed him looking at her she turned and walked away.
"Naru, she was possessed." said Konta watching Yuuki walk away.
