Higurashi When They Cry: Monster House Destroying Chapter

by Ren Gardner

Rika Furude and her friends are living a peaceful life in the summer of 1983 until Horace Nebbercracker interferes and steals Satoko's bike. The gang attempt to retrieve it but they learn that there is something off about Nebbercracker's house and it may bring devastation to all of Hinamizawa. Will this become another tragedy? Or will the club members prevail? Find out by reading!

"Rika!" A young girl with short blonde hair said as she was trying to wake up a girl with long purple hair who was sleeping peacefully on a futon. The sleeping girl's name is Rika Furude. Rika is eleven years old, except that's incorrect. Rika only has the appearance of an eleven-year-old girl because she is actually one hundred years older. A normal human would have difficulty reaching such an old age, however, Rika is different. Rika was forced to repeat time again and again in a desperate struggle to survive the tragedy of Hinamizawa in June 1983. But, after one hundred years of torture through repetition of time, Rika and her friends, Keiichi Maebara, Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Shion Sonozaki, and Satoko Hojo, with the help of many other people managed to overcome fate by defeating Miyo Takano and saving Hinamizawa from total destruction. But that is a story you will have to read for yourself in the Visual Novel, Higurashi When They Cry which you can buy on Steam!

"Come on! Wake up already, Rika!" Satoko said as she was now shaking Rika's body in an effort to wake her up. This was a fruitless endeavor though because Rika continued to snore.

"That's it! You leave me no choice!" Satoko said as she then stood up and walked towards the window where the blinds are currently concealing the rays of the sun from leaking into the room.

"I didn't want to do this but this is for your own good, Rika!" Satoko yelled as she opened the blinds allowing the rays of the sun to leak into the room and onto Rika as well.

"Augh! It burns! I'm dying!" Rika screamed in a dramatic fashion over the pain she received by having the sun's light envelop her body.

"What do you mean? Are you a vampire or something?" Satoko asked Rika with no hint of concern on her face whatsoever.

"Yes! That's exactly right! I was bitten by a tall, dark, and handsome vampire the other night, and now the sun is burning me alive! And do you know who killed me?! It was none other than Satoko Hojo, my best friend! What a devastating twist that I ended up being killed by the person I love most in this world! Augh!" Rika yelled as she rolled onto the futon, crawled toward Satoko, pointed at her, and then proceeded to die.

"How was that?" Rika asked Satoko as she magically came back to life like it was nothing.

"You know, it was actually, pretty good. But! If you want to become an actress so badly, just join an acting club! Anyway, we don't have time left! There's only about an hour until school starts so we have to go now!" Satoko said as closed one eye, put on her backpack, and tossed Rika her school uniform.

"What's the rush? If we have an entire hour until class starts don't we have plenty of time to get ready, eat breakfast, and walk to school?" Rika asked as she tilted her head in confusion.

"Yeah, that's right. However, today we are both on cleaning duty." Satoko said as she reminded her friend of their obligations as students of the Hinamizawa Branch School.

"Eh? EH? Why didn't you say that at the start?" Rika yelled.

"I was about to say that but then you decided to do that dramatic acting scene, and then, I kinda forgot," Satoko said as she became as red as a tomato.

"SATOKO, YOU IDIOT!" Rika screamed as she jumped out of the futon and changed out of her nightgown and into her school uniform in five seconds flat.

"Wow, I think that's your new record," Satoko said with a smile on her face in an effort to alleviate the situation. This action only caused Rika to look back at her with an expression that can only be described as a resting bitch face or RBF for short.

"Let's just go. Let's just go now." Rika said as she ate a piece of buttered toast at the speed of light and opened the door of their small house.

"Sure. Um, uh, sorry for making you mad Rika." Satoko sheepishly said as she couldn't look directly at her friend.

"Just kidding, Ni~pah!" Rika said as she turned around with a smile on her face and closed her eyes in a very cutesy fashion.

"You are such a big meanie," Satoko said as she pouted in dissatisfaction. The truth was that Rika was just a little mad that Satoko kept that very important piece of information away from her. However, Rika loves teasing Satoko a lot, so she only acted like that to trick her which earned her the exact response she wanted.

"I'm sorry. But, don't worry I could never hate you because I will always love my best friend, Satoko Hojo, forever and ever, Nano~desu!" Rika said as she got on her bicycle.

"You-ugh! You are so annoying Rika!" Satoko yelled as she couldn't ignore her friend's beaming smile which caused her to blush again, as she then proceeded to hop on her bicycle and dashed away at a high speed.

"You know you don't have to tease Satoko like that, Rika." A voice said as a small girl became partially visible as she floated in midair. The floating girl's name is Hanyu. Hanyu has light purple hair in contrast to Rika's dark purple hair and she also wears a formal Japanese Kimono. Though the distinct features that make her different from a typical human girl, are the two horns on her head.

"I was only messing with her, Hanyu. Plus, I apologized so it's fine." Rika said toward Hanyu, a person that only she can see due to Hanyu's connection to the Furude family. For the sake of simplicity, Hanyu is Rika's ancestor and the true form of Hinamizawa's god, Oyashiro-sama.

"But Rika, aren't you worried about your friend's wellbeing?" Hanyu asked.

"Of course, but everything will be fine. We all defeated Takano so there's nothing to worry about anymore. Don't you agree?" Rika said as she started to ride her bicycle in an effort to catch up with her friend.

"Rika, Takano isn't the only obstacle you will need to overcome in your life. There will be many more threats to your happiness that you will have to face off against. That's just what it means to be human after all." Hanyu said as Rika continued to ride her bicycle across the rural pathways of Hinamizawa.

"What I'm trying to say is that you should-" Hanyu stops speaking before she can finish her sentence because…

"Hey Satoko, watch out!" Rika yells toward her friend in a desperate attempt to stop her from doing something that will start a chain of events that could cause a tragedy to occur. However, Rika fails to save Satoko from what is about to happen next. Satoko was humming a tune with her eyes closed and didn't see that there was a small dog in the pathway.

"Huh? What do you mean, R-" Satoko said as she looked backward at her friend who could only continue to yell and point in front of her. Satoko then looked in front of her as she was about to crash into the small dog.

"Oh crap!" Satoko yelled as she proceeded to swerve her bicycle at the last possible second. Through sheer willpower or dumb luck, or quite frankly both, Satoko managed to avoid a head-on collision with the puppy. However, this desperate action caused Satoko to ride her bicycle into the lawn near someone's house and as a result, she fell off her bicycle.

"Satoko! Satoko, are you ok?!" Rika yelled toward her friend who crashes into the grass. Satoko then gave her friend an ok sign with her hand.

"Oh thank goodness. Everything's going to be ok just like I said Hanyu." Rika said toward the horned girl with a self-assured smile on her face but Hanyu could only look in absolute horror over what just happened or rather what is about to occur.

"No Rika, this is about to get much worse." Hanyu said as the door of the house on the lawn that Satoko rode her bicycle onto proceeded to slam open with an ear-piercing sound.

"Is the puppy ok?" Satoko said as she stood up and looked toward her friend with an innocent expression on her face. But then, thunderous stomps were heard which caused Satoko to look toward the source of the harsh and loud sounds. Satoko saw a sign that said 'KEEP AWAY!' and then she finally noticed an old man walking toward her with a horrific expression on his face.

"Oh! Get off my lawn!" The old man yelled at the top of his lungs which caused Satoko to shriek in terror as she tried to pick up her bicycle but the old man was already sprinting towards her at a ridiculous level of speed for an elderly person.

"Trespasser! Do you want to be eaten alive?!" The old man roared as he was now in front of Satoko.

"No!" Satoko could only say that one word as the old man then screamed once again.

"Then get out of here!" The old man yelled as Satoko dropped her bicycle and ran in the opposite direction of the old man.

"My bike!" Satoko said with tears in her eyes as the old man picked up her bicycle with tremendous strength and ripped one of the wheels off of it and looked toward the young blonde-haired girl with a demonic expression.

"Wah!" Satoko cried as she started to run away again from the old man.

"Stay away from my house!" The old man roared and coughed a bit as he proceeded to walk back to his house with the bicycle in his hands but he then felt a presence looking toward him which caused the old man to look toward Rika with eyes full of hatred as he then walked back into his house.

"Ahh! Who-who the hell was that Hanyu?!" Rika said toward the floating girl who could only shake her head in response.

"I don't know. But whoever that person is, he must be nothing but trouble." Hanyu said as Satoko made her way back to Rika and the two girls comforted each other. The one-hundred-year battle against Takano was over but a new battle has just begun. This battle will test the limits of Rika and her friends as they try to save Hinamizawa again from the disaster that is about to occur. Cue opening with an awesome song and visuals!

Higurashi When They Cry: Monster House Destroying Chapter

"Hey, Keiichi-kun, good morning!" A girl with light orange hair said as she waved toward a young boy with brown hair walking toward her. The orange-haired girl's name is Rena Ryugu. The brown-haired boy's name is Keiichi Maebara. And there was one other person…

"Jeez Kei-chan, how long are you going to make two beautiful girls wait for you? A girl with green hair said as she put her hands on her hips to clearly illustrate her dissatisfaction with Keiichi's lateness. The green-haired girl's name is Mion Sonozaki.

"What do you mean two beautiful girls? I only see one beautiful girl and an old man-ow! Ow! Ow!" Keiichi said as he then groaned in pain because Mion was now slapping his back with enough force to shatter a continent into two pieces. Poor Keiichi.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME AN OLD MAN, KEI-CHAN!" Mion yelled as she continued slapping Keiichi in the back. All Keiichi could utter was Ow! Ow! And some more Ows!

"Mii-Mii-chan, I think he's been punished enough already, already," Rena said as she tried her best to stop Mion. Mion stopped slapping Keiichi's back but…

"Oh, Rena, what would you do if someone called you an old man?" Mion asked with a demonic look on her face.

"If someone called Rena an old man, hmm, what would I do? I know! I would slice their fingers off one by one and then I would feed them their own fingers, and then, and then!" Rena said as her expression became more and more demonic to the point that it surpassed Mion's face.

"Hey, Kei-chan! How does that sound? Having your own fingers cut off and fed to you one by one? Ki hi hi hi!" Mion said and then laughed like a certain golden witch.

"You-You are both demons!" Keiichi yelled as Mion and Rena cornered him.

"Oh, you only just realized that now? Ki hi hi hi! Then it's time to show you what the demons of Hinamizawa are capable of! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Rena and Mion said together as they were both in sync with each other as they lifted their hands into the air to do unspeakable things to their poor little friend.

"NO! Please! Anything but that! AHHHH! Hahahahaha!" Keiichi shrieked in absolute terror but then laughed as his ultimate punishment was being tickled, TO DEATH! But in actuality, Keiichi was just being tickled.

"And-that-is-what-you-get-for-calling-me-and-old-man-Kei-chan!" Mion said as she continued to tickle the defenseless body of Keiichi Maebara.

"I-only-haha-called-you-an-haha-old-man-because-you-always-call-yourself-that-hahaha!" Keiichi said while laughing his ass off by being tickled by the young demons of Hinamizawa.

"And-since-when-did-I-oh, I see, sorry, Kei-chan," Mion said as she stopped tickling Keiichi after realizing the error of her ways.

"It's-ok-haha-now-can-you-haha-make-Rena-stop-tickling-me-hahaha!" Keiichi said as he was still being tickled by the ruthless Rena Ryugu.

"Hey, Rena, I think he's had enough." Mion sheepishly said but Rena didn't stop tickling Keiichi, in fact, she only tickled the boy more and more.

"No way! Hearing Keiichi-kun make all these sounds are so cute! I want to take him home! OMOCHIKAERI! Hau!" Rena said as she continued to tickle Keiichi until…

"Please-stop-haha-Rena-I'm-haha-going-to-" Keiichi said but he couldn't finish as the deed was already done. A sound of running water was heard as a wet spot appeared on Keiichi's pants.

"Eh? EH? K-Keiichi-kun, do you-do you really like Rena that much, that much?" Rena said as she blushed bright red.

"No! No! It isn't what it looks like! You guys were just tickling me so much and I-" Keiichi said but couldn't finish as Mion then screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Kei-chan?! How could you do something so vile?! Disgusting! Pervert! Neet!" Mion said as she pointed at Keiichi.

"No! I didn't do what you think I did! I only pissed myself because you both were tickling me to death! And that last one isn't even remotely true! I'm a student for crying out loud!" Keiichi yelled as he finally got through to his two friends' thick skulls.

"Oh, so it was just that? Aw, I thought Rena and Keiichi-kun were going to be able to do (CENSORED) and (CENSORED) and a little bit of (CENSORED) too and make a baby. I'm disappointed." Rena said as she was being bleeped out because gore and violence are ok but sex will never become a topic of discussion in a children's show like Higurashi When They Cry.

"Uh, Rena, I think that's going a bit too far. I mean aren't you only thirteen years old" Keiichi said as his heart was beating out of his chest over the thought of doing the dirty with Rena all the while Mion was utterly speechless, until…

"No! No! NO! You can't do that with Kei-chan! You guys aren't supposed to do such things until you're married and-actually can we just drop this discussion?!" Mion said as her face became redder and redder as she was trying to explain why kids having sex with each other is a big no-no but…

"But, the age of consent is actually thirteen which was established in Meiji 40 (or the year 1907) by The Penal Code of Japan," Rena said with an eerie look in her eyes.

"Yeah! What Rena said!" Keiichi said as he made a victory pose.

"But, but, but," Mion said as she tried to make a counterargument but couldn't because nothing can beat facts. There was also another reason why Mion was so against Keiichi and Rena having sex with each other which was because she was actually in love with Keiichi for a while. Mion only realized her true feelings when Keiichi gave her a 'unique looking' doll from that one time all the students of the Hinamizawa Branch School played games together at the toy store that Mion's uncle owns. Then why couldn't Mion just admit the truth about her feelings for Keiichi? Nope! She can't! Because Mion Sonozaki is a tsundere!

"Ahahahaha!" Keiichi and Rena started laughing together as Mion kept uttering the word 'but' over and over.

"It's just a joke, Mii-chan. Haha!" Rena said as she continued to laugh.

"That's right! Me and Rena aren't dating which means that I'm available. Haha!" Keiichi said as he winked one eye at Mion. That was the straw that broke the camel's (or in this case Mion's) back.

"KEI-CHAN, YOU BAKA!" Mion said as she started throwing things that were nearby at Keiichi that consisted of, her school backpack, and some rocks.

"I was just kidding! Woah!" Keiichi said as he dodged the projectiles thrown at him by Mion.

"TAKE THAT! AND THAT! AND THIS TOO! AND GO CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES! YOU SMELL GROSS, KEI-CHAN!" Mion said as she continued to throw her unlimited pile of rocks at Keiichi.

"Fine! I'm going! Can you please quit it with the rocks already!" Keiichi said as he ran for his life back to his house to change his pants.

"Damn! I should have killed him when I had the chance!" Mion said as her eyes had daggers in them (metaphorically speaking of course) and clenching her hand hard enough two snap someone's neck. (Though thankfully not Keiichi's neck.)

"Um, Mii-chan!" Rena said as she tried to get Mion's attention and tapped her a few times on her back.

"Yes, Rena, what is it?" Mion said with a devilish smile on her face.

"Um, uh, what time is it?" Rena squealed those words out.

"Eh? The time? We should have plenty of-" Mion said but she stopped mid-sentence as she finally realized her fatal mistake. Mion Sonozaki has done f*cked up.

"Oh crap! We only have five minutes left to get to school!" Mion yelled as she started to run faster than The Flash to Hinamizawa Branch School.

"Really, really?! Wait, Mii-chan!" Rena said as she too started to run faster than any human has ever ran before to the point that it would bring tears to the legendary Usain Bolt's eyes.

Five minutes later

"Hey, where did Rena and Mion go?" Keiichi said as he didn't understand where his two friends went. The fact was that the two girls completely forgot about Keiichi as they sprinted off to school without him.

"Well, whatever," Keiichi said as he strolled toward school without any cares of the world on his shoulders.

Fifteen minutes later

"Hey, why did you guys leave me-gah!" Keiichi said as walked into the classroom and finally noticed the blue-haired woman standing before him. The blue-haired woman, Rumiko Chie, the teacher of the Hinamizawa Branch School was not pleased with Keiichi's tardiness.

"So you finally grace us with your presence, Maebara-san. Any reasons why you were exactly fifteen minutes, and thirty-two seconds late?" Chie said as she crossed her arms showcasing how mad she was.

"I, uh, um I was," Keiichi said as he tried to figure out an excuse that would get him off the hook.

"What was that? You should speak more clearly I can't hear you, Maebara-san?" Chie said as her eyes began to twitch.

"I was-aha! I went to go buy you this!" Keiichi roared as he took a certain item out of his backpack. The item in question was a can of curry. Chie was dumbfounded.

"You-you brought me a can of curry? Just for me? You are my favorite student! Thank you so much, Maebara-san!" Chie said as hearts formed in her eyes (again metaphorically speaking) and proceeded to kiss the can of curry multiple times. The fact is that the teacher named Rumiko Chie has a very unhealthy addiction to the South Asian cuisine known as curry. Keiichi has known this fact ever since enrolling in the school and had a plan that if something happened in the morning that made him late to school, i.e. oversleeping, he would present a can of curry to Chie as a gift to avoid punishment. And the results are…

"Um, Sensei, you do realize Kei-I mean Maebara-san is late right?" Mion said as she tattled on Keiich because she was still mad over the prank that Keiichi and Rena pulled on her earlier this morning.

"Oh, that? Eh, who cares? Maebara-san gave me curry, FOR FREE! Have you ever given me a can of curry as a gift, Sonozaki-san?" Chie said with a smile on her face.

"Um, no, I have not. But-" Mion said but was interrupted by Chie.

"Then you have no right to speak another word about Maebara-san who gave me such a wonderful present. Are we clear, Sonozaki-san?" Chie said as she stared MEANCINGLY at Mion.

"Um, no, Sensei." Mion sheepishly said as she was quite literally not allowed to give a rebuttal or she would face the wrath of curry-lover Rumiko Chie.

"Good, now if you'll excuse me," Chie said as she skipped like a schoolgirl and hummed a tune while opening the door of the classroom and leaving.

"Did-did, Chie-sensei just leave us without finishing the lesson, the lesson?" Rena said as even she was at a loss of words over what just occurred before her eyes.

"Yep, she definitely won't be back for a little while. Ha! Looks like I escaped the wrath of Chie, no thanks to you, Mion." Keiichi said as he had a smirk on his face.

"Whatever. Anyway, where are Satoko and Rika-chan?" Mion asked Keiichi.

"Eh? What do you mean? They aren't in the classroom?" Keiichi said as he looked all over the classroom which had no trace of the two girls.

"No. Rena hasn't seen them since yesterday's club meeting. You sure you didn't notice them while walking to school, to school?" Rena asked Keiichi.

"Unfortunately, no, I haven't seen them either since yesterday. Maybe they just got sick. They could have overslept too. Haha, maybe they are both out skipping!" Keiichi said with a smirk on his face.

"Hmm, option one could be a possibility. But, option two is impossible because Satoko and Rika-chan are always the first two to arrive here in the morning, and option three doesn't even make any sense." Mion said as she pulled out a notebook and started writing in it.

"Oh come on, you don't know for sure! The last time we went to Okinomiya, Satoko swore revenge after I beat her at that arcade fighting game, Street Kombat! And Rika-chan loves the deserts at Angel Mort so-" Keiichi said but was interrupted before he could finish by…

"No, I would have known if they went to Angel Mort, plus it just doesn't make sense like Onee said." A girl with green hair said as she appeared out of thin air startling everyone around her. The green-haired girl looked exactly like Mion aside from the hairstyle and clothing but she was a different person! Her name is Shion Sonozaki!

"S-S-Shion! W-Where did you come from?!" Keiichi said as he stepped back a bit and almost fell on his ass.

"I've been here the whole time I simply kept quiet so I could make my appearance all the more shocking, Kei-chan!" Shion said with a smile on her face as she winked at Keiichi.

"S-S-Shion! W-Why are you even here?!" Mion said as she pointed at her younger (or technically older haha) sister.

"First, my name isn't S-S-Shion, it's Shion. Second, I can be here whenever I want so do I really need a reason? Third, is it that you're actually afraid I'll steal Kei-chan from you, sis?" Shion said with a grin on her face which only made Mion even more flustered.

"I-I-I d-o-n-t-k-n-o-w-w-h-a-t-y-o-u-a-r-e-t-a-l-k-i-n-g-a-b-o-u-t?" just broke.

"But, Shii-chan, won't you get in trouble for skipping school?" Rena said with a worried expression.

"Oh please, the higher-ups at a 'public school' can't touch the Sonozaki family. Plus even if they try anything, well, I hope they have fun dying!" Shino said as she put a hand to her throat to visualize she's being completely serious.

"Um, Shion, I don't know how to say this but, um, you do realize murder is bad right? Wait a sec, steal me?" Keiichi said with an expression that went from 'are you kidding me' to really confused.

"Yeah, don't you want to be stolen by the beautiful Sonozaki sister? Come on, we aren't underage so want to do some, 'adult things' Kei-chan?" Shion said with an expression of lust that would make any guy in the vicinity faint after hearing those words. Well, except Keiichi, I guess.

"A-Are Maebara-san and the superior Sonozaki-san going to 'get it on?!" A boy named Tomita said as he adjusted his glasses to make sure what he was seeing was actually reality, it was.

"Awesome! Good going Maebara-san for earning the affection of the superior Sonozaki-san!" A boy named Okamura said as he gave Keiichi a thumbs-up with his hand.

"No! No! NO! As Class Rep, I REFUSE to let any 'adult things' happen in a classroom full of children! And since when the hell is Shion 'the superior Sonozaki-san?!" Mion said as she regained the ability to say coherent sentences.

"Aw, I liked it when you said things like a robot, a robot." Rena said as she pouted in discontent.

"I liked it too, it made things clear who was better between us. Though to answer your question it started today when I bribed Tomita and Okamura-kun to call me 'the SUPERIOR Sonozaki-san!' Hahaha!" Shion said as she laughed to showcase her 'superiority' over Mion.

"Sorry 'subordinate Sonozaki-san.'" Tomita and Okamura spoke in sync as they didn't even try hiding the tickets for the 'all-you-can-eat desert' at Angel Mort. Mion slammed her fist onto the desk.

"S-S-Subordinate Sonozaki-san?! Me?! Oh, I don't think you realize who you 'kids' are talking to. Since Chie-Sensei hasn't come back yet, I'll assume the role of Sensei and give anyone who DARES call me 'the SUBORDINATE Sonozaki-san' a lesson called 'Getting your ass kicked 101!'" Mion said as she cracked her knuckles and her hair began to rise into the air like a certain spiky, black-haired anime character.

"Um, Mion, do you realize that you are trying to pick a fight WITH CHILDREN?!" Keiichi said with a worried expression as he internally prayed for someone, anyone for that matter, to stop this situation from getting any worse than it already has become. The young boy's prayers were answered as the door of the classroom swung open with enough force to gather everyone's attention to it. The person who opened it was none other than Rika Furude.

"E-Everyone! Satoko is-" Rika began to say but was interrupted by Shion who immediately stopped making fun of her sister.

"What happened to Satoko, Rika-chama?! If 'that bastard' did anything to her, I'll kill him!" Shion said as her demon persona was taking over because she was obviously not thinking rationally at all.

"N-No, it wasn't Satoko's uncle, but-" Rika said but couldn't finish again as Satoko walked into the classroom with tears in her eyes.

"S-Satoko, what happened?! A-Are you alright?!" Keiichi said with a concerned look as he moved forward to comfort Satoko but was stopped by Rena.

"Sorry Keiichi-kun, but you can't help her right now." Rena whispered in Keiichi's ear as she then embraced her miserable friend. Rena's way of thinking albeit a little harsh was the correct move. Since for a man to get close to Satoko right now would just make things much worse.

"Can you please tell me what happened, Satoko-chan?" Rena spoke with a very gentle voice to soothe Satoko's nerves. Satoko had a hard time speaking at first and said incoherent things until she finally managed to express what happened to her.

"S-Some old guy broke my bike and stole it! Wahhhhhh!" Satoko said as she then cried into Rena's chest and Rena tried calming her down by saying 'there there' to her.

A few hours later

Time passes by as Satoko finally calmed down and Chie was filled in on the situation by Rika-chan. Chie attempted calling the authorities over what occurred but get anyone to help over the fact that Rika didn't know the old man's name. Satoko insisted that she was ok too Rika and class started again until it was time for a lunch break.

"Aw yeah! My favorite time of the day! Ha!" Keiichi said with a smirk as he and the rest of the club members (plus Shion) pushed their desks together to eat lunch together.

"Kei-chan, we get it. You love food, so do we, you don't need to say it every day." Mion said as she opened her bento box.

"Of course I do! Since I'm a man, I must make it clear that eating food is what I do best! Hahaha!" Keiichi said as he laughed and opened his bento box.

"Oh, if you like eating things so much then you can eat me anytime, Kei-chan!" Shion said with a devilish smile and opened her bento box. The rest of the club members' faces went red after hearing those words, especially Keiichi and Mion of course.

"Keiichi-kun! You can't eat Shii-chan, she's our precious friend, precious friend!" Rena said as she clearly didn't grasp the significance of what 'a man eating a woman' actually means. Though somehow this girl grasped the concept of masturbation?!

"Um, Rena, I don't think you realize what Shion-san is trying to say. Allow me to explain it to you." Satoko said with a dumbfounded expression as she then whispered into Rena's ear.

"Eh? EH?! K-K-Keiichi-kun! You can't do that with Shii-chan! Oh wait, I guess you can if you want because the age of consent is actually thirteen which was established in Meiji 40 (or the year 1907) by The Penal Code of Japan." Rena said as her expression went from flustered to kind of creepy instantly.

"Goddamn it, Shion! Stop trying to turn Kei-chan into some sexual deviant! And Rena, can you please stop talking about that weird law that should be abolished?!" Mion said with a pissed-off expression as she slammed her fist onto her desk almost knocking her bento box off her desk but she caught it in the nick of time.

"Good thing that even if that law does get changed one day it won't affect us living in Showa 58 (or the year 1983) Ni~pah!" Rika said with a smile as she closed her eyes and looked at no one in particular.

"Hey, Rika, who are you talking to?" Satoko said as she opened her bento box.

"It's a secret, Nano~desu! Anyway, let's eat everyone!" Rika said as she clapped her hands together.

"Yes!" The club members (plus Shion) all roared together in excitement.

"Oh boy! Rena can finally show you all what I spent making today this morning! Hau!" Rena said with a smile as she opened her bento box and with that, all the club members were ready to eat!

"It's Rena's 'trademarked' famous meatball surprise special, surprise special!" Rena said as the rest of the club members all stared at her homemade lunch in delight. Rena's lunch consisted of exactly what she said meatballs! More meatballs! And even more meatballs! Cue Kylo Ren saying 'MORE!'

"Aw yeah! Rena always makes the best food out of all of us! Time to dig in! Itadakimasu-eh?!" Keiichi said with a hungry look in his eyes as he grabbed his chopsticks though he was beaten to the punch by Satoko.

"Five for me! Six for me! Seven for me! And I'll take one more for good measure!" Satoko said as she scooped up the meatballs with her chopsticks and ate them whole one by one leaving only about half of the number of meatballs that were originally in the bento box.

"But, but I wanted that one, Satoko!" Keiichi said as he pointed at Satoko.

"Oh ho ho! Oh, Keiichi-san, you were simply too slow to take action! As winners say, you snooze, you lose! Oh ho ho ho!" Satoko said with a smirk on her face as she uttered her signature laugh.

"Actually, I'll take that last one from you, Satoko," Rika said as she grabbed her chopsticks and secured the last meatball that was about to go into Satoko's mouth and put it into her own mouth.

"Mmm! That was so delicious! Thanks, Satoko, Ni~pah!" Rika said with a content expression as she chewed and swallowed the meatball.

"Eh?! How could you do that to me Rika?! Well, then I will just take another meatball!" Satoko said as she was about to take another meatball from Rena's bento box, but was stopped by Shion.

"Hey, Satoko-chan, I made all of this delicious pumpkin for you! Don't you want some? Here, I'll give you half of the contents since you took half of Rena-san's meatballs! That way it's only fair, don't you agree?" Shion said with a smile as she dumped half of the pumpkin onto Satoko's bento box without waiting to hear an approval from the young girl.

"Wahhh! Shion-san's bullying me again! Wahhh!" Satoko said as she cried crocodile tears in an effort to gain some sympathy from the other club members.

"Shii-chan! That wasn't very nice of you to give Satoko-chan all of that pumpkin without her consent!" Rena said with an angry expression that would make anyone scared, no matter what age you are.

"Oh, sorry Rena, I guess I should have-" Shion said but was interrupted by Rena.

"Because Rena wanted that delicious pumpkin!" Rena said as everyone around looked at her with dumbfounded expressions.

"Well, I can give you the rest of the pumpkin-" Shion said but was once again interrupted by Rena.

"You will!? You will!? Really, really?!" Rena said with an ecstatic look.

"Yes, really, really." Shion said with an expression that was half thankful and half confused.

"Yay! Rena's going to take Shii-chan's delicious pumpkin home with me! OMOCHIKAERI! Hau!" Rena said as she literally took Shion's bento box and ran out of the classroom with it.

"Hey, Rena! You do realize we still have class after lunch right?!" Keiichi said with a shocked expression as he stood up from his chair but he was already too late.

"And she's gone." Mion said with an unfazed look.

"Eh? Has Rena done this before?" Keiichi said with a dumbfounded expression.

"This makes six times. It's the reason why I don't bring pumpkins to school anymore." Mion said as she rested her right hand on her forehead.

"Actually Mion-san, this would be the seventh time Rena has done this." Satoko said as she attempted to eat the pumpkin that was forced onto her by her Nee-nee but couldn't do it until Shion forced her to eat it.

"How is it? It's good right?" Shion said with stars in her eyes. (again metaphorically speaking.)

"Well, it isn't bad. Ok fine, it's good." Satoko said with one eye closed and then was immediately hugged by Shion.

"Wait, seventh time? I don't remember that?" Mion said with a confused look.

"You weren't here for it Mii. But, one time I brought homemade chocolate bunnies here and it was the second worst mistake of my life." Rika said with a smile.

"Really what was the worst mistake?" Keiichi said with an interested expression.

"You really don't want to know." Rika said as sweat formed on her face. What was Rika Furude's worst mistake, the world may never know…

"Actually Rena knows this one!" Rena said as she magically appeared out of thin air.

"Gwah! Rena?! Where did you come from?!" Keiichi said as he almost fell out of his seat in shock.

"From home." Rena said with a smile.

"You mean you ran all the way home, ate the pumpkin, and then ran all the way back in the span of a page of text?" Mion said with a dumbfounded look as she calmly broke the fourth wall.

"Well yeah! Anyway, so last Halloween, Rika-chan dressed up as the CUTEST bunny Rena has ever seen! So Rena took her home with me!" Rena said with a happy expression.

"Ok, that doesn't seem too bad-" Keiichi began to say but was interrupted by Rena.

"For three days. Rena let Rika-chan sleep in the bed in the basement of some guy's house that had all these weird books. They were about his personal life until his own son sold him out and his friends and wife were turned into monsters! Though Rena didn't read the rest because apparently, the ending sucked. But don't worry, Rena fed her and we even had baths together! And then Rena returned her home and all's well that ends well! Hau!" Rena said with a satisfied look as she was reminiscing on old memories while Rika was hyperventilating by being reminded of those dark days.

"Uh, um, how do I say this? Oh yeah, I know, Rena you kidnapped Rika-chan?!" Keiichi said as his jaw dropped. If this was a gag manga it would have probably reached Brazil.

"Oh come on, Rena's done worse. One time, Rena beat the crap out of three classmates and broke a ton of school windows too!" Rena said as she puffed up her chest.

"The fact that you've pride in that is absolutely terrifying. Anyway, are we going to form a plan to get back at that bastard who broke and stole Satoko's bike?!" Mion said with a pouting expression as she reminded everyone that they have to do something about that old guy and that this story does indeed have a plot.

"I say we kill the old bastard." Shion said without a hint of remorse or pity on her face whatsoever.

"Of course, that is your response to every problem even though murder is illegal. Does anyone have an idea that is actually humane?" Mion said as she wasn't amused in the slightest over her sister's lack of empathy towards other people that aren't Satoko or her older brother Satoshi who is still in a coma in the Irie Clinic. Will Satoshi awaken in this story? Find out on the next episode of Higurashi When They Cry Monster House Destroying Chapter! (God that is a mouthful)

"Hmph. At least I'm not a pacifist like you, Onee." Shion said as she pouted.

"Yeah. I threw rocks at people, clearly, I'm a f*cking pacifist." Mion said while being bleeped because no swearing.

"Of course you are, I would have shot them until they were swiss cheese and then I would piss on their dead corpses. But, that old hag said that was too far, one day I'm going to beat her to death with a whip!" Shion said with a demonic look.

"Jesus Christ, that is dark. C-Can we not cause the old guy brain damage or even worse kill him, please?!" Keiichi said with an anxious expression.

"Sure. Not only do you have insanely good looks but you are way smarter than some old man, who is right next to me, with green hair." Shion said with a look in her eyes that made it quite clear she was very hungry, and not for anything that is food.

"Um, thanks?" Keiichi said with a confused look. Except, if you are a dunce like Keiichi Maebara.

"Oh no the pleasure is all mine." Shion said as she winked at Keiichi.

"Is-Is this the beginning of my popular phase?!" Keiichi said as he finally realized that Shion Sonozaki was coming on to him this entire time. Took him long enough.

"C-C-Can you please stop flirting with Kei-chan already?! It's really starting to piss me off, Shion!" Mion said with a pissed-off expression as she slammed her desk again. Thankfully she finished all of her food so the only thing that fell was her bento box.

"Well, at least I'm not trying to hide my feelings like some tsundere!" Shion said with a pissed-off expression of her own.

"No, I'm not." Mion said.

"Yes, you are." Shion said.

"NO, I'M NOT!" Mion yelled.

"YES, YOU ARE!" Shion yelled.

"NO, I'M NOT!" Mion yelled.

"NO, YOU'RE NOT!" Shion yelled.

"YES, I AM, I'M A-a, f*ck." Mion said as she realized her mistake but it was too late and she was bleeped again.

"Ha! I can't believe that trick from that old kids' cartoon from America actually worked! Hahaha!" Shion said as she laughed and relished in her victory against her sister. Mion Sonozaki has done f*cked up. Again.

"I'm going to kill that disembodied voice. I'm going to kill that disembodied voice. I'm going to kill that disembodied voice. I'm going to kill that disembodied voice. I'm going to kill that disembodied voice. I'm going to kill that disembodied voice. I'm going to kill that disembodied voice." Mion muttered to herself as she said those words like an incantation. What is this, Fate/Stay Night?!

"M-Mion, are you ok-" Keiichi said with a worried look.

"WHERE'S NAPPA?!" Mion screamed with bloodshot eyes.

"Who?! I don't even know who that person is?! I don't think that person is created for at least another six years!" Keiichi said with a horrified expression.

"Oh yeah. He doesn't exist. Good." Mion said as she began to calm down.

"A-Anyway, I have an idea. Why don't we all just go to the old guy's house, explain the situation to him, and politely ask for Satoko's bike back?" Keiichi said with a confident look.

"That could work." Mion said.

"Not bad, Keiichi-san!" Satoko said.

"Not my preferred method, but it came from Kei-chan so it will probably work!" Shion said.

"Yay! A method that doesn't end with us in prison! Let's go! Aren't you coming, Rika-chan?" Rena said as she stood up from her seat.

"Shouldn't we probably try that after school?" Rika said with a concerned expression.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot that lunch break is about to end and class starts again right after." Rena said as she sat back down in her seat. Rika may have agreed to the plan but her true feelings were…

"I-I'm surrounded by idiots." Rika internally said. Just then Hanyu popped out of thin air, good thing only Rika can see her or this would get really weird real fast.

"Well, at least you still have me, Rika! Nano~desu!" Hanyu said with a smile.

"I said I'm surrounded by idiots." Rika internally said.

"Au! Au! Au!" Hanyu cried.

A few hours later

School ends for the day as the club members (plus Shion) are all making their way to the old guy's house on their mission to get back Satoko's bike! What could possibly go wrong?

"So does any of us actually know what that old guy's name is?" Keiichi said with a concerned look. It took over 7000 words for someone to ask that question.

"Oh, now Keiichi finally asks such an important question?! I-I don't even know how we ended up beating Takano and her elite military army anymore?!" Rika said internally.

"Well, Rika and I only just met him earlier today. What about you Rena-san?" Satoko asked.

"Hmm. No, it doesn't ring a bell. Maybe he moved here while Rena was away from Hinamizawa, from Hinamizawa?" Rena said while putting her left hand to her chin.

"That's impossible. The Sonozaki family keeps tabs on anybody who enters the village and leaves. No exceptions." Mion said as she flat-out denied such a possibility.

"Then it must be one of the old villagers who still has a grudge against the Hojo family. Those f*ckers! Can I please kill him?!" Shion said with a demonic expression.

"Please don't Shion." Keiichi said with a worried look.

"Ok! I won't, but only because you said so, Kei-chan!" Shion said with a smile.

"My sister is definitely going to be arrested for homicide one of these days." Mion internally said as she instinctively knew if she said that out loud it would cause another unproductive argument between the Sonozaki sisters. Yeah, and she would end up as a prison b*tch!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mion internally screamed. Her screams, its music to my ears!

"F*ck you, Nappa." Mion muttered as she and the rest of the club members (plus Shion) finally reached the old guy's house. The house while old looking didn't really stand out as something all that different from your typical house in Hinamizawa. Other than the fact that the architecture was clearly inspired by houses in America, it was relatively normal looking in Hinamizawa. In fact, Keiichi's house which is about the size of a mansion is far more eye-catching.

"So, this is the house, Rika-chan?" Keiichi asked Rika and the purple-haired girl nodded.

"Yes, it's definitely the same one, though the old guy living in it, I've never seen him before in my entire life. Has he really lived here for a long-" Rika said but was interrupted by Shion.

"Oh, I know who lives in this house. It's that old bastard, Nebbercracker." Shion said with a face full of hatred.

"Nebbercracker?! I thought that guy left Japan after the Dam War?! Are you sure, Shion?!" Mion said with a shocked expression as she clearly didn't expect to hear that name ever again.

"Of course! Why would I ever mention that bastard's name if I wasn't sure?!" Shion yelled as she made the rest of the club members go silent, then Keiichi was the next to speak up.

"Ok, timeout. I think this needs to be addressed before we do anything else. Just who the hell is Nebbercracker?!" Keiichi asked Shion.

"Kei-chan, you really don't want to piss me off more than I already am. I don't want to talk about it so you explain, Onee" Shion said flipping her long green hair in response.

"Horace Nebbercracker was one of the leaders of the Pro-Dam faction along with Satoko's father. He was universally hated in the village along with the rest of the Pro-Dam faction for obvious reasons. Though after the Dam Project was disbanded, Nebbercracker left the village along with most of the Pro-Dam faction members!" Mion said and after she finished speaking, the club members were speechless as the Dam War was a monumental event for Hinamizawa if fate changed slightly, the whole village would already be submerged underwater.

However, the one who was shocked the most and to her every core was none other than Rika Furude. Rika even though she was very young at the time remembered most of the names of the villagers by heart, this was due to her having to repeat time for one hundred years. But, this 'Horace Nebbercracker' Rika was certain that she has never once heard this name before.

"Hanyu, something doesn't seem right about this! I don't remember this Horace Nebbercracker at all! Hanyu? Hanyu?! HANYU?!" Rika spoke internally but the one she trying to speak to wasn't responding to her at all. Rika looked all around her and didn't see Hanyu at all and then…

"Hey, Rika-chan! Is everything ok?!" Keiichi said as he softly gripped her shoulders which snapped the purple-haired girl back into reality. Rika then noticed that the club members (plus Shion) were all staring at her with worried faces. Rika paused and then spoke.

"Oh, there it is! I almost thought that I left this embarrassing photo of Satoko from that one party at home, but I have it right here!" Rika said with a mischievous expression as she pulled out the picture from her pocket.

"Huh? What picture could you mean Rika-no! It couldn't! It can't be that one! I thought you got rid of that picture! You promised me!" Satoko said with a look of horror as Rika flashed her other hand which had two of her fingers crossed. Satoko then ran up to Rika with everything she had but it was pointless as she was stopped by Shion.

"An embarrassing picture of Satoko-chan!? Ooh, la la! Show it to me Rika-chama!" Shion said with an excited expression as she held Satoko back with a single finger. Rika showed Shion and the instant she saw it, the green-haired girl fainted and fell to the ground with a smile on her face. Then the other club members chimed in on the action.

"I call dibs on seeing it next!" Keiichi said.

"Aw! Then Rena will see it after Keiichi-kun! Rena said.

"Guess I might as well see it too if everybody else is going to look at it." Mion said.

"Ugh! I hate you Rika!" Satoko yelled with both of her eyes closed as she stomped on the ground and threw a tantrum. As Keiichi was about to look at it, Rika pulled her hand away.

"That's enough teasing Satoko about it for today. But, perhaps I'll make copies and sell it to you guys." Rika said as she closed her eyes, smiled, and put the photo back into her pocket.

"Thank goodness, I thought-hey wait a minute! You aren't actually going to sell copies of that picture, Rika, right? RIGHT?!" Satoko said with an anxious expression.

"Who knows? I could get rich and then I'll have enough money to buy myself a mansion on a secluded island and just waste my life away, Ni~pah!" Rika said as she stuck her tongue at Satoko, the latter folded her arms and looked the other way with a noticeable blush on her cheeks. Of course, this was all an act as Rika did this, to put her friends' concerns at ease. But…

"Hey, Rika-chan. If you ever need to talk about anything that's bothering you, don't think too hard about it, and remember that I'll always be here for you, Ok?" Keiichi said with a smile on his face as he gave Rika a thumbs up with his right hand.

"I will. Thanks, Keiichi." Rika said as she stared at the floor with a face that was blushing bright red.

"R-Rika-chan's face looks so kyute! Hau! I'm going to take her home with me! OMOCHIKAERI! Hau!" Rena said as she was about 'to take Rika home with her but Mion stopped her.

"Uh, no. I'm not letting you take Rika-chan home after you told me that story. No ifs, ands, or buts." Mion said as she held Rena back by gripping the latter's shirt as she tried to run off.

"Aw! You're no fun, Mii-chan!" Rena said as she pouted.

"Um, so who's going to knock on this old man's door?" Satoko said as she got the club members' attention and pointed at the house that they all were not far from. Keiichi raised his hand.

"I'll go. I'm the best chance at persuading Nebbercracker since I'm the Magician of Words! Or K for short!" Keiichi said with a confident expression as he started moving forward.

"K? Seriously? Ha~ha!" Mion said with a smirk as she chuckled to herself.

"Eh? I-I think it's badass! So shut up, Mion!" Keiichi said with a noticeable shade of red on his cheeks.

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say, K-Ha~ha!" Mion said as she laughed again as Keiichi ignored her and continued to move closer and closer to Nebbercracker's house. Rika could only look on in awe.

"Keiichi. I keep forgetting that Keiichi has always been there for me, more than anyone else, whenever I need his help, he's always been by my side. In every universe, Keiichi's such a nosy person." Rika thought to herself as she earnestly smiled but then…

"Keiichi! No! Don't step on his lawn!" Rika shouted loudly to get Keiichi's attention but it was already too late.

"Huh?" Keiichi said as he looked back at Rika while he was standing on Nebbercracker's lawn and the door to the house suddenly creaked open. Nebbercracker walked outside.

"You!" Nebbercracker yelled as he pointed at Keiichi.

"W-What?" Keiichi said as Nebbercracker ran toward him with a level of speed that shouldn't be possible for an old man. Nebbercracker tried to grab Keiichi but the young boy dodged on reflex as he accidentally kicked some grass up into the air while trying to regain his sense of balance and harming the old man's lawn in the process.

"What have you done?" Nebbercracker said with a face of no pity or remorse as he stared at Keiichi with hatred in his eyes.

"I'm sorry! It was an accident! I didn't mean to mess with your lawn but-" Keiichi said but Nebbercracker lifted his hands into the air.

"Keiichi! Get out of there right now!" Rika screamed.

"YOU ARE DEAD!" Nebbercracker roared as he attempted to grab Keiichi again, the brown-haired boy ran away out of fear, but the old man caught up with him and grabbed his right arm.

"Help! Somebody help!" Rika shouted at the top of her lungs as Satoko was on the verge of tears, and Rena was trying to hold her anger back by clenching her fists tightly. And Mion was…

"You bastard! If you don't let go of my Kei-chan right now, I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life!" Mion roared as the characters for 'demon' in her name were showing itself though Nebbercracker completely ignored the green-haired girl's threats.

"You think you can just terrorize my lawn?!" Nebbercracker roared once more as he lifted Keiichi into the air with ease.

"No! I'm sorry!" Keiichi said.

"You want to be a dead person?!" Nebbercracker shouted as the confidence that was once within Keiichi was gone as he kept shouting 'No! I'm Sorry!' at Nebbercracker though the old man wasn't finished with him quite yet.

"This place is not a playground for children! This is MY HOUSE! Why can't you respect that?! Why can't you just stay away from-augh!" Nebbercracker roared at the top of his lungs until he suddenly groaned in pain.

"Uh-oh." Nebbercracker said as he couldn't speak words anymore and could only stare at Keiichi with a horrific face that will haunt the brown-haired boy for years to come as the old man suddenly collapsed onto him and appeared to have died. All the club members went silent until…

"AHHHHHHHHHHH! What? How? I-I didn't-" Keiichi screamed and pushed Nebbercracker's corpse off of his body only to see a young girl with long green hair blowing in the wind and a taser in her left hand.

"S-S-Shion what d-did you do-" Keiichi said only to be cut off by the other Sonozaki sister.

"SHION! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Mion roared at the top of her lungs as the club members around her jumped out of shock.

"W-What? What do you mean? I did what had to be done! That old bastard was going to kill Kei-chan so I knocked him out with my taser! You should be thanking me! All you did was threaten the bastard while I took action! I should have killed him for what he did, but I had it on the lowest setting so he should be-" Shion said but was interrupted by her older sister.

"SHION, YOU IDIOT! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HIM!" Mion roared again at her younger sister.

"Like I was trying to say he should be fine! There's no way he could have actually-" Shion said until Keiichi interrupted her.

"S-Shion, I-I hope I'm wrong but, I can't find a heartbeat!" Keiichi yelled as the rest of the club members were now speechless. Shion then stomped on the ground to get everyone's attention.

"You're doing it wrong, Kei-chan! There's no way the bastard's dead! Let me, I'll find his heartbeat-what?!" Shion yelled as she tried to listen for a heartbeat but couldn't find one.

"Come on! Come on! Come on already! Why?! Why isn't this working?!" Shion yelled as she attempted to revive Nebbercracker by performing chest compressions on him to no avail. However, Shion kept trying for about a minute until she was interrupted by her older sister again.

"Shion! Stop it already! There's nothing else you can do for him! He's already gone!" Mion said as she shook Shion's shoulders in an effort to stop her younger sister's delusions. But, this only made Shion even more anxious.

"T-That's impossible! There's no way he's dead! If that's the case then that means I-I killed someone!" Shion yelled as tears started to drip from her eyes.

"Hey, Onee. What if we just get rid of his body?! I know plenty of places where the cops, not even that asshat Ooishi would check! And even if they get close to finding it, I can have Kasai hide it for me and-"Shion said but she was stopped before she could finish as Mion slapped her in the face hard. The rest of the club members couldn't talk, even if they wanted to, as Mion wouldn't allow anyone to speak until she was finished.

"STUPID SHION! SNAP OUT OF IT ALREADY! You and I both know that if you try to get rid of this guy's corpse then that would make everything much worse!" Mion yelled at the top of her lungs to her younger sister but Shion attempted to push her away, but Mion didn't budge.

"Stupid big sister! Then-Then what the hell am I supposed to do?! I'm already old enough to go to prison for murder which means my whole life is utterly f*cked! What the hell else can I do then-" Shion yelled back at Mion as the older sister slapped her younger sister again.

"LET ME F*CKING FINISH! If you by some miracle manage to get rid of his corpse and no one ends up finding it, even then, you wouldn't be able to live with it! The fact that you killed a person would haunt you for the rest of your life! Every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, you would be thinking in the back of your head that you killed someone until you would end it all!" Mion roared at Shion, while the latter continued to cry.

"What the hell are you even talking about?! Me, kill myself over that guy, hahaha! That would never happen so stop assuming you know everything about me because YOU KNOW NOTHING!" Shion roared back at her older sister.

"I've known you for my whole life, I know what makes you happy, sad, angry, and every other emotion in between that makes you feel something, and you know why? BECAUSE I'M YOUR SISTER SO DON'T YOU DARE SAY I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU!" Mion yelled at Shion, as the former was starting to cry too.

"Even-Even if you're right, then what the hell am I supposed to do?! If I go to jail, I'll be forced to suffer endlessly while knowing that I will never ever have another chance to be able to do the things I want to do! I will be completely ALONE, that is a fate much WORSE than death for me!" Shion yelled at Mion again as the younger Sonozaki sister couldn't stop crying as tears were running down her cheeks and then the older Sonozaki sister embraced her.

"You will never ever be alone. No matter how many times you tell me to 'go away' or 'I hate you' I will ALWAYS be by your side whether you like it or not. That's why I will take the fall with you." Mion said with a smile on her face as tears continued to drip from her eyes as she then grabbed the taser out of Shion's left hand.

"O-Onee?! W-What are you doing?! You are the next head of the Sonozaki family! If you go to jail too then the Sonozaki family will collapse too! Do you even realize what you are doing right now?" Shion said as she tried to grab her taser back from Mion but the latter, wouldn't have it as she lifted it into the sky.

"Of course. This is MY choice. I REFUSE to let you suffer alone for a mistake that you didn't intend to commit. So let's suffer and cry together, until the day we are both free. Because isn't that what sisters are for, Shion?" Mion said with a bright smile as she comforted Shion. This was the last straw for Shion as she began to cry her eyes out into Mion's chest. Though it wasn't just the Sonozaki sisters who were crying, Keiichi, Rena, Satoko, and Rika were all crying at the scene which they all witnessed with their own eyes. It was such a sad, but beautiful scene that only those two sisters could have pulled off. And with that, a match being lit causing a fair in Nebbercracker's chimney caused this story to enter its next act.

Smoke rose into the air as a single police car showed up on the scene at Nebbercracker's house as the club members and Shion waited for them, all the while the two Sonozaki sisters were holding hands. The police car's door opened revealing an older, middle-aged detective with gray hair, and a police officer with dark purple hair. These two people were Ooishi Kuraudo and Kumagai Katsuya. They both walked toward the club members, Shion, and Nebbercracker's corpse.

"Oh my, what do we have here? Which of you young kids did this? Or perhaps you all did this together?" Ooishi said with a smile on his face as his eyes were closed.

"No. I'll explain what happened. Horace Nebbercracker stole Satoko's bike, we all went to retrieve it as a group, but Nebbercracker attempted to attack Keiichi. I then tackled Nebbercracker to the ground and Shion tased him after I told her to do that so that my friend wouldn't get injured. Nebbercracker then stopped breathing and died, so it's only mine and Shion's faults alone." Mion said with an expression that was resolute as everyone stared at her with surprised expressions all the while Shion muttered 'Onee' to herself.

"I see. I don't want to arrest both of you kids but I will have to if this guy's dead so Kuma-chan! Check that guy's body for me!" Ooishi said as he gave the younger police officer orders.

"Yes, Ooishi-san!" Kumagai said as he ran up past Ooishi to check Nebbercracker's body.

"What are you doing? I already told you he's dead? Didn't you listen to a word I-" Mion said but before she could finish she was interrupted by Kumagai.

"Ooishi-san! This guy still has a pulse! He's alive!" Kumagai yelled as the club members all went speechless, until…

"Hey, Shion. Why didn't you check his pulse?" Mion said with a smile on her face as her eyes twitched.

"Um, I, uh, I forgot! Sorry, Onee!" Shion said as she tapped herself on the head and stuck out her tongue playfully. And then Mion Sonozaki exploded. (Metaphorically speaking of course)

"STUPID SHION! YOU ARE SUCH A BAKA!" Mion yelled at the top of her lungs.

"WELL THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU CHECK?! STUPID BIG SISTER?!" Shion yelled back.

The two Sonozaki sisters were about to roughhouse but before they could do that, Ooishi stopped them by pushing them apart with his hands in a comedic fashion.

"Hey, it would be a damn shame if you two beautiful girls beat each other up and wrecked those nice faces of yours so please don't do that. Na ha ha ha! Now, even though that guy, Nebbercracker was it? Even though Nebbercracker is still alive, I need to question the both of you so get in the car." Ooishi said while maintaining his positive attitude.

"Fine." Mion said.

"Whatever, sure." Shion said. Then the two Sonozaki sisters walked toward Ooishi's police car and got in the backseats.

"Good. Kumagai! Call an ambulance to pick him up!" Ooishi yelled as Kumagai saluted him.

"Yes sir!" Kumagai said as he went to the car to call the Irie Clinic to rescue Nebbercracker with the pager in the vehicle. After that, Ooishi got back in his car and drove off with Kumagai, and the Sonozaki sisters back to Okinomiya Police Department.

About ten minutes passed as an ambulance reached Nebbercracker's house and paramedics rushed out of the vehicle to put Nebbercracker on a stretcher. As Nebbercracker was being put onto the stretcher, the old man touched his lawn with his right hand and dropped a key onto it. Rika saw the key and went to pick it up. The key was gold and worn out as it would probably only work two or three more times, but even still Rika gripped it in her right hand. Then as the paramedics were trying to get the stretcher that was carrying Nebbercracker off his lawn, one of the wheels got caught in the grass. The paramedics forcibly pushed it which caused the same wheel that got stuck to fall off which was then sucked into the ground.

"Eh? What was that?" Satoko said as she gulped after seeing the wheel was forced into the ground by something she could not explain. Rena noticed that.

"Satoko, what's wrong?" Rena said with a concerned expression.

"Huh? Um, nothing. I'm perfectly fine! Oh ho ho ho!" Satoko said as she let out her signature laugh which made Rena giggle too. The paramedics then put the stretcher along with Nebbercracker into the ambulance, and they both got back into the car and drove off leaving the four remaining club members alone at the old man's house.

"So, what should we do now?" Keiichi said with a smile in order to break the ice after the drama that happened before.

"There's not much we can do now since that guy has been taken away, taken away." Rena said with a cheerful expression. Rika then tapped Rena on the shoulder.

"Look what I have! Ni~pah!" Rika said with a smile as she held out her hand and revealed the gold key to the rest of the club members.

"R-Rika! How did you get that?! Did you steal it from that old guy?!" Satoko said as she attempted to take the key away from Rika, while the latter kept it away from her.

"I didn't steal it. That guy dropped it onto the ground and I picked it up which means I'm borrowing it. That's a huge difference! Also finders keepers, Nano~desu!" Rika said with a grin as she put the gold key into her pocket.

"Well then, since we have a key, let's go get Satoko's bike back!" Keiichi said as he put his fist into the sky.

"Eh? K-Keiichi-kun?! We can't enter this guy's house it's against the law, against the law!" Rena said with an anxious look on her face but Keiichi rested a hand on her shoulder which made her squeal out of surprise.

"Rena, if this guy took other kids' precious items before, then it's our duty to take them back! Plus if there is anything 'kyute' in his house, it probably would go unnoticed." Keiichi said with a grin as he gave Rena a thumbs up with his other hand.

"Oh boy! Rena could always use more kyute things to add to Rena's collection! Hau!" Rena said as she and Keiichi high-fived each other.

"Alright! Since we are all in agreement, let's do Operation: Get Satoko's bike back! Let's go!" Keiichi said with confidence in his tone of voice.

"Yeah!" Rena and Rika said in unison as they along with Keiichi walked on the pathway to Nebbercracker's house, all of them, except for Satoko.

"Um, I-I'm getting kind of tired. Perhaps we should do this another day." Satoko said as she then proceeded to yawn loudly.

"Aw! But Rena wants to get some kyute things for herself-I mean get your bike back! So let's go, Satoko-chan!" Rena said with a smile as she continued to walk with Keiichi and Rika as the three of them inched closer and closer to the house.

"B-But! A-Actually, to be honest, I think this is a bad idea! This house is really spooky!" Satoko said with an anxious expression as she pointed at the house in front of her. Nebbercracker's house was old and worn out looking, that much was already true. But, Satoko remembered the wheel getting caught by the grass and going who knows where and that really scared her.

"You're just being a scaredy–cat, Satoko! Meow! Meow! I'll show you that there is nothing at all to be afraid of by being the first to get into the house!" Rika said with a mischievous smirk on her face as she then ran full speed toward the door of the house, but suddenly…

"GET OUT OF THERE!" Satoko screamed at the top of her lungs as the three other club members finally noticed that something was about to go horribly wrong…

"W-What the hell?!" Keiichi, Rena, and Rika, all screamed as Nebbercracker's house suddenly came to life! Keiichi and Rena were able to move out of the way due to their quick reflexes but Rika was too close to the house! A giant tongue shot out of the house's doorstep and was about to touch Rika when…

"RIKA, WATCH OUT!" Satoko screamed once more and pushed Rika out of the way of the incoming giant tongue.

"S-Sato-" Rika said as her best friend was engulfed by the tongue and she was taken into the house in mere seconds. Rika then proceeded to run as fast as she could back to a safe zone that being the sidewalk that was far enough from the house where Keiichi and Rena both already made it too. The club members that were left then stared blankly at the house where their friend was forced into against her will. Sweat dripped from all three of their faces, they couldn't say anything, or rather they didn't know what to say after something that fantastical happened in front of their eyes. Seconds that felt like hours passed until…

"SATOKO!" Rika screamed very loudly, more so than Keiichi and Rena have ever heard her scream since they knew the young purple-haired girl. And then, Rika began to cry.

"Waaah! Satoko! Waaah!" Rika cried as tears poured from her eyes, Keiichi and Rena started to cry too but it just couldn't compare to how much their friend was crying. Rika fell to the ground and cried, when her knees hit the cement, they started to bleed but that pain didn't come remotely close to how horrible she felt about losing Satoko. Rika kept crying and crying until Keiichi stepped in to offer a hand.

"Satoko will be ok. But first, we have to-" Keiichi said with a reassuring smile but the hand he extended to Rika was swatted away by the little girl.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! 'SATOKO WILL BE OK?' HOW COULD YOU SAY SUCH ARROGANT WORDS?!" Rika roared with as much ferocity as a beast that both Keiichi and Rena were surprised as Keiichi almost lost his balance after being screamed at by the girl in front of him.

"R-Rika-chan! Keiichi is just trying to help so you shouldn't-" Rena said but was interrupted by Rika before she could finish.

"'Keiichi was just trying to help.' That's what you were going to say, right? THAT'S BULLSHIT!" Rika screamed again, this time at Rena as the orange-haired girl stumbled backward and fell on her ass at having her ears pierced by the screams of her friend. Then, Rika turned toward Keiichi.

"So what's your plan for retrieving Satoko? Are you just going punch that giant tongue so hard that it will just give back Satoko? LIKE SOMETHING SO F*CKING DUMB WOULD EVER WORK!" Rika screamed once more at Keiichi who couldn't manage a comeback against those hurtful words that Rika, his friend, was saying about him.

"Even if by some miracle we all band together and manage to defeat something so utterly terrifying that it makes me want to puke just thinking about fighting that 'thing' even IF it is defeated NOTHING WILL CHANGE! NOTHING WILL EVER WORK! You know why, Keiichi?" Rika asked Keiichi who took a few seconds to say anything.

"R-Rika-chan?" Keiichi said before he was interrupted again by the witch in front of him.

"BECAUSE SATOKO IS DEAD! I MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COME BACK THOUSANDS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES BUT SATOKO CAN'T! SATOKO IS JUST A NORMAL GIRL! WHEN SHE DIED, THAT WAS IT, THERE IS NO HOPE! SATOKO DIED AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BRING HER BACK! I'LL NEVER EVER SEE MY BEST FRIEND AGAIN AND IT WAS ALL MY FAULT! I SHOULD HAVE DIED INSTEAD OF SATO-" Rika shrieked louder than she has ever done before until she was struck across the face.

"O-Ow! H-Huh?" Rika said as she noticed the person who slapped her in the face hard enough to leave a noticeable bruise. It was Keiichi Maebara.

"K-Keii-" Rika said until she was interrupted by the man in front of her.

"Satoko isn't dead, Rika." Keiichi said with an expression of anger that Rika has never noticed on his face before. Keiichi was really pissed off now, but so was Rika.

"What are you trying to-" Rika began to say but was interrupted by Keiichi again.

"Don't ask me how I know because I can't give you a clear answer on that. I just know she is alive because Satoko is tougher than you think she is." Keiichi said as he stared into Rika's eyes.

"H-How would you know that?! You don't know Satoko as much as I-" Rika said.

"I do. Satoko is relentless and she will never stop till she has her way, I think I know that fact better than you have given that I have undergone punishment again and again by her pranks." Keiichi said.

"B-But, even if that is all true, it's still my f-" Rika said.

"No, it's not. Should you have listened to Satoko. Yes. Should I have listened to her? Yes. Should Rena have listened to her? Yes. But we all didn't and this is the result. This is our sin. But even so, there is still something we can do. We can figure out some plan, even if it's laughably stupid, we can keep trying until we rescue Satoko. But before that, I can't think clearly of a plan till I get something off of my chest." Keiichi said while clenching his fists.

"K-Keiichi-kun! I think Rika-chan understands-" Rena said but was interrupted by the brown-haired man.

"No! She doesn't understand! So I'm going to make it crystal clear so that she does realize! Rika, do you really think it would be better if you died instead of Satoko?" Keiichi asked Rika.

"U-Uh, um, o-of course I do-" Rika answered and was immediately hit across the face again by Keiichi. Blood started to drip from Rika's mouth but that wasn't going to stop Keiichi from saying what he would say next. Even if the whole world started to explode in front of his eyes, nothing was going to stop Keiichi Maebara from saying what needed to be said.

"YOU IDIOT! YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT, RIKA! IF YOU TRULY THINK THAT WE WOULD BE OK IF YOU DIED, THEN YOU ARE WRONG! MION, SHION, RENA, SATOKO, AND ME WOULD ALL GRIEVE IF YOU DIED! SATOKO PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH HERSELF IF YOU DIED AND SHE DID NOTHING TO SAVE YOU! THAT'S WHY SATOKO CHOSE TO SAVE YOU RIKA BECAUSE SHE'S JUST SUCH A STUBBORN GIRL!" Keiichi said as tears dripped from his eyes.

"K-Keiichi," Rika said.

"BUT EVEN SATOKO DOESN'T COME CLOSE TO HOW STUBBORN YOU ARE! YOU FOUGHT ALONE AGAINST FATE FOR A HUNDRED YEARS AND YOU NEVER GAVE UP TILL THE VERY END! STUBBORN DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO DESCRIBING HOW SELFLESS YOU ARE! YOU ARE EASILY THE BRAVEST GIRL I HAVE EVER MET AND WILL PROBABLY EVER MEET FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!" Keiichi roared those words with all his might as Rika couldn't help but cry in front of him.

"SO GRAB MY HAND AND FIGHT! FIGHT ONE MORE TIME TO SAVE SATOKO WITH ME AND RENA, RIKA!" Keiichi roared again as Rika extended her hand forward and grasped Keiichi's hand. The two kids then embraced each other with everything they had.

"K-Keiichi! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Waaah!" Rika said as she cried into Keiichi's chest as the young man holding her held the girl tightly in his arms.

"It's ok, Rika. Everything will be ok now, because we will fight, and rescue Satoko from that house no matter what happens! Isn't that right, Rika?" Keiichi asked the girl he held in his arms to confirm her resolve to him.

"Of course! Let's fight on! Nano~desu!" Rika said with a bright smile on her face as he lifted her fist into the air, then the two kids separated as Keiichi finally remembered that Rena was there watching the whole time.

"And now you are already halfway there." A disembodied voice whispered into Rika's ears.

"Huh?" Rika muttered to herself.

"Uh, um, you'll help too, right, Rena?" Keiichi said with a blush as he stared in the opposite direction from Rena.

"Of course! Who do you think Rena is?! I'll never ever abandon my friends! Hau!" Rena said with a determined expression.

"T-Thanks, Rena!" Keiichi said as he gave a thumbs up to the orange-haired girl who looks like she is about to rip that house into two pieces with her bare hands. And considering that it was Rena, she could probably do it. Keiichi then felt Rika tap his back.

"What is it, Rika?" Keiichi asked Rika but he couldn't make out the words she was saying so he put his face closer to hers and…

"Thanks for confessing how much you loved me! Pachi Pachi Pachi, Nano~desu!" Rika said as she kissed Keiichi on the cheek. Keiichi then stumbled and then fell on his ass.

"R-R-Rika-chan and K-K-Keiichi kun kissed!" Rena squealed.

"Wow. Is this the first time you were kissed by a girl, K~K?" Rika said with a self-satisfied smirk.

"Huh? N-No! NO! I've been kissed by tons of girls! In fact, I was quite the ladies' man before I moved to Hinamizawa! Totally!" Keiichi said as he flailed his arms in a comical fashion.

"Eh? EH? K-K-Keiichi-kun has already been kissed by a ton of girls?" Rena said with a blushing face as she pointed at the brown-haired boy.

"W-What? NO! I-I mean YES!" Keiichi said as his face was already bright red as a tomato.

"So which one is it? Yes or no? Since that was one heck of a reaction I'm convinced that it was your first time. Which means, I'm your first, K~K!" Rika said with a smile as she closed her eyes.

"T-This means that-that Rika-chan is pregnant! Rika-chan is going to have Keiichi-kun's baby! He or she's going to be so kyute! I'm going to take him or her home with me! OMOCHIKAERI! Hau!" Rena said with a smile as drool was coming out of her mouth.

"Yeah, K~K! What do you expect me to do with the baby in my belly? You're going to have a lot of explaining to do to the others when they find out!" Rika said with a smug expression. If it wasn't already obvious, Rika was enjoying the hell out of this.

"N-No! First of all, a kiss can't get a girl pregnant! Second of all, how do you even expect to take home a baby that hasn't even been born yet? And third of all, you aren't pregnant because we didn't do ANYTHING, Rika!" Keiichi said while maintaining that blushing expression.

"Tch! Well, we can always change that anytime because-" Rika said but was interrupted.

"Nope! You are only eleven and because the age of consent is actually thirteen which was established in Meiji 40 (or the year 1907) by The Penal Code of Japan that means we can't because I will go to jail!" Keiichi said as he pointed at Rika like a certain red-headed mystery novel fan. (Or a guy in a blue suit for Ace Attorney fans)

"Damn. Well, I'll be old enough next year, so I'll save myself and wait till then, that way you won't even have to buy anything for me for my birthday, K~K!" Rika said as she winked at Keiichi. Keiichi was still blushing and turned his head the other way which made Rika chuckle.

"A-A-Anyway! We still have to figure out a plan to save Satoko! So, um, Rena, have any ideas to do that?" Keiichi said as he looked at Rena because he wanted to avoid looking at Rika in the eyes or it will just make him blush and unable to think clearly again.

"Rena?! Well, hmm, oh, I know! This will work! No, this will definitely work because it's my first genius-level plan! Hau!" Rena said with a smirk on her face as she had everything figured out.

"Um, so, Rena, what exactly is your idea?" Rika asked the orange-haired girl.

"Hahaha! It's full-proof! My idea is that we give the house some cold medicine!" Rena said as she lifted her fist into the sky and a tumbleweed from somewhere passed by the club members.

"So what do you guys think?" Rena said as she crossed her arms, Keiichi and Rika both took a deep breath, and then…

"A-ARE YOU KIDDING?" Keiichi and Rena both yelled at the same time which made Rena frown.

"Of course not! Rena is not kidding because Rena does not tell LIES and never will! Hau!" Rena said while making a creepy face for a second when she said 'USODA!' and then resumed her happy face like nothing happened.

"S-So how did you come to this sudden realization? Because I'm at a loss for words." Keiichi said as he scratched the top of his head.

"Simple! That house is alive right?" Rena asked Keiichi.

"Yeah. We all saw it come to life. What are you getting at?" Keiichi replied.

"No more questions till I'm done explaining, Keiichi-kun. Anyway, since that house is alive we can further deduce that it has a soul. All living things need a soul, that's considered to be common knowledge by most people, yes?" Rena said with glasses on her face that materialized out of thin air.

"I-I got it! T-That actually makes sense! I'll never doubt you again Rena!" Keiichi said as apparently had everything figured out too.

"I-I don't understand how the house having a soul has anything to do with giving it cold medicine." Rika said with a confused expression.

"Think about it this way, Rika-chan. All living things need a heart to live, right?" Rena said as she pointed at Rika.

"Y-Yes, that's true, b-but" Rika said but was interrupted by Rena.

"Then it must have gained a heart somehow! But inanimate objects like a house can't gain a heart out of nowhere, they would have to gain it by a merging of someone with a soul-" Rena said but was then interrupted by Keiichi.

"Which means that Nebbercracker's spirit merged with the house and that created that 'Monster House' that stole Satoko!" Keiichi roared as Rika finally understood the truth of that 'Monster House.'

"Then the only way to save Satoko is by destroying the furnace that has to be the heart by making the 'Monster House' fall asleep with the cold medicine!" Rika roared back at Keiichi as he gave her a thumbs up.

"Yeah, that's right!" Keiichi said as he and Rika gave each other high fives.

"Aw! Rena wanted to say all of that! You guys are mean stealing Rena's genius level plan for yourselves!" Rena said as she pouted but then Keiichi put a hand on her shoulder which made her jump a bit and her heart to go 'Doki Doki.'

"We never would have thought up that plan without you! Now we can all save Satoko with it! Thanks, Rena!" Keiichi said as he gave the orange-haired girl a high five. This trivial action between friends made Rena blush bright red.

"Are you two done? We have to go to the Irie Clinic to get that cold medicine! Are you guys coming or not?" Rika said with a pout as she was already walking in the direction of the clinic.

"A-Are you jealous, Rika?" Keiichi said with a surprised expression and Rika stopped in place.

"Ha! Haha! Ahahahahaha! Me? Jealous? No way. But if you ever assume that I would get jealous over something so trivial, then I will make sure you regret it. Ni~pah!" Rika said with a smile as her eyes turned bright red which made Keiichi and Rena jump a bit.

"R-Rika-chan is kinda scary, kinda scary." Rena whispered into Keiichi's ear.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you. Would you mind speaking up a bit, Rena?" Rika said with a tone of voice that could only be compared to how a 'witch' talks.

"E-Eh? N-Nothing! Nothing at all!" Rena said as she waved her arms around in a comedic way.

"Good! Now let's go! Once we get the cold medicine, it will be time to commence 'Operation: Save Satoko!" Rika said as she lifted her fist into the sky and started walking again as Keiichi and Rena followed behind. But Keiichi couldn't stop thinking about how Rika acted a few seconds ago.

"You know, when Rika is aggressive, she's kinda hot." Keiichi internally said to himself as he was never ever going to let Rika hear those words anytime soon.

About twenty minutes later

The three club members finally arrived at the Irie Clinic as they were greeted by the head doctor.

"Hello! Is there anything I can do for you kids?" The head doctor said while adjusting his glasses, of course, this was none other than Kyousuke Irie himself.

"We need all of the cold medicine you can give us." Keiichi, Rena, and Rika all spoke in sync.

"I-I'm sorry, what?" Irie said with a perplexed expression since this was the last thing he thought he would ever hear today, or in a million years.

"Irie! It's to save Satoko-chan!" Rika said as she uttered those magical words, she knew instinctively that Irie's approval was now guaranteed.

"How many bags can each of you carry?" Irie said as he donned a serious expression.

"I can carry one bag. Rena can carry three. And Keiichi can carry seventeen." Rika said with a smile.

"Eh?! T-That's absurd! I can't carry seventeen bags of cold medicine all at once! And why did that number skyrocket that high for just me anyway?" Keiichi said with an anxious look but was completely ignored by Irie as he already put cold medicine into twenty-one bags.

"That's all of the cold medicine we have, free of charge!" Irie said as he handed one bag to Rika, three bags to Rena, and Seventeen bags to Keiichi, just like how Rika instructed him to do. Rika and Rena were just fine though Keiichi almost fell onto his ass.

"Gawahh! W-Why do I have to suffer like this?" Keiichi said as he struggled to lift all seventeen of the bags.

"You're a man right? So fight on! Nano~desu!" Rika said as she gave Keiichi her signature encouragement.

"D-Did you hold a grudge when I thought you were jealous, R-Rika?" Keiichi asked Rika.

"Of course not. I don't know where you got that idea from but we don't have all day so hurry it up, K~K!" Rika said with a grin as she closed her eyes and used the same tone of voice that resembled a 'witch' from earlier.

"God I love it how she makes me do tons of labor and how she uses that sexy voice of hers to rebuke me when I complain to her. Wait, am I a masochist or something?" Keiichi said internally as he used all of his willpower to move his body that was carrying all those bags while Rena and Rika were happily strolling out of the clinic.

About another twenty minutes later

The three club members arrived back at the 'Monster House' with all twenty-one bags of the necessary materials that were needed to perform their next big operation.

"Wow. That was easier than I thought it was going to be, to be." Rena said as she calmly put down her three bags onto the ground.

"Yeah. It wasn't hard at all. I don't know why that guy looks like he's on the verge of death." Rika said as she gently put down her single bag onto the ground and started to stretch.

"T-T-That was hell! Oof!" Keiichi said as his legs finally gave out and he stumbled onto the ground with the seventeen bags he was carrying.

"I never thought that you would make it back here while carrying all of those bags. I'm impressed. Do you perhaps workout, K~K?" Rika said with a smirk.

"Oh, I can assure you that I'm full of surprises!" Keiichi said as he managed to stand back up.

"I hope you are in more ways than one." Rika said as she seductively licked her lips which made Keiichi look the other way which earned another chuckle from the purple-haired girl.

"A-Anyway! So how exactly are we going to give that 'Monster House' all of this cold medicine?" Keiichi said with a confused expression, though he had an idea on how to give that demonic house the cold medicine, he desperately wanted to change the subject.

"Like this! Hau! Hau! Hau! Hau!" Rena said with a smile as she then proceeded to throw all of the bags of cold medicine onto the lawn of the demonic house.

"R-Rena?! Why are you just throwing the bags on the lawn? Are you trying to waste our precious resources like they mean nothing at all?!" Rika yelled with a pissed-off expression at Rena.

"Rika-chan, just be quiet for a few more seconds and watch." Rena said in a serious tone.

"W-What are you even talk-" Rika said but immediately shut her mouth as the door of the 'Monster House' opened and with that, the giant tongue shot out of it and secured all of the bags onto it and brought them into the house. Rika and Keiichi were speechless.

"H-How did you know that would have worked?" Rika with her jaw dropped to the ground (metaphorically speaking) asked Rena.

"Because that 'Monster House' HATES it when stuff that doesn't belong on its lawn is put onto it because it's just like that old guy!" Rena said as the glasses from earlier magically appeared on her face again as she gave that explanation. And then suddenly a snoring sound could be heard from the demonic house as it fell asleep.

"I-I can't believe that actually worked?! My plan was to create a dummy that had cold medicine in it and have that thing eat it, but, that works too. I guess." Keiichi said with a dumbfounded look.

"Come on, Keiichi-kun and Rika-san! That house must have tons of kyute things in it that must be taken home! OMOCHIKAERI! Hau!" Rena said as she ran full speed towards the man-eating house without a care in the world.

"W-What about Satoko, Rena?" Keiichi asked Rena.

"Like Rena said 'that house must have tons of kyute things in it that must be taken home!'" Rena said as she didn't miss a beat and made it to the entryway of the house in front of her.

"S-Should we be worried, Rika?" Keiichi asked Rika who was already ahead of him.

"Come on! It's time to get Satoko-chan back! Or are you not man enough to venture into the unknown, K~K?" Rika said with a grin.

"I'll make sure that you regret those words, RIKAAAAA!" Keiichi yelled as he suddenly moved forward fasting that a missile as he reached the man-eating house in milliseconds like it was nothing.

"Ready, guys?! It's time to enact this club's next operation that will go down in history and be remembered by the villagers of this great land for centuries to come! Operation: Rescue Satoko, START!" Keiichi yelled again as he shot his fist into the air.

"YEAH!" Rena and Rika yelled too as they shot their fists into the air with Keiichi. And then without further ado, Keiichi twisted the rusty, cold doorknob, and finally opened the door that would change all of their lives forever.

"W-Wow, i-it's so, so" Keiichi began to say as he examined the inside of the house that lay before his eyes.

"IT'S SO EMPTY?! WHERE ARE ALL THE KYUTE THINGS? THIS IS SO DISAPPOINTING!" Rena yelled at the top of her lungs with a pissed-off expression. Then suddenly, once all three of the club members present were inside the house, the door slammed shut.

"W-What the-huh? The door! It won't open!" Keiichi screamed as he desperately tried to twist the doorknob but it wouldn't budge. Keiichi, Rena, and Rika were now trapped inside this demonic house FOREVER! Or at least until the climax of this story.

"K-Keiichi-kun? Please tell me you brought a flashlight?!" Rena squealed as she got scared while not being able to see anything as she was trapped in pitch, black darkness.

"No, I forgot! Sorry, Rena! W-What about you R-" Keiichi began to say but suddenly he heard the sound of a switch being flicked as the lights of the house enveloped the room.

"Ah, it burns! I'm dying!" Rika screamed as she fell onto the floor.

"R-Rika! A-Are you ok?!" Keiichi said as he went to help Rika off of the floor.

"Just kidding! Ni~pah!" Rika said with a smile as she closed her eyes and stuck out her tongue in a playful way.

"D-Damn it, Rika! I really thought you were hurt! A-Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Keiichi said with a pissed-off expression as he helped Rika stand back up.

"Maybe. Perhaps, I just find it amusing that you can give me all sorts of reactions with a drop of a hat. Who knows?" Rika said with a smug look as she folded her arms.

"Y-You are such a witch." Keiichi muttered to himself as he looked away from the purple-haired witch beside him.

"Look! Look what Rena found!" Rena yelled as she waved her hands around for Keiichi to come to where she is at.

"Maybe you shouldn't be so loud since the house is ASLEEP, but what did you find?" Keiichi asked Rena as she pointed at an old pair of binoculars that were connected to a part of the house.

"These are kinda kyute, I'm taking them home with me! Hau!" Rena said with a smile as she pulled the binoculars out of the house and stuffed them in her pocket that contained a reality marble that allowed Rena to store UNLIMTED amounts of stuff into her pockets! (If you didn't get the reference go watch or read Fate/Stay Night once you're done reading this.)

"Huh? I wonder what Nebbercracker would have used those for? Oh well!" Keiichi said as he noticed Rika giving him a beckoning sigh with her hand. Keiichi made his way to Rika.

"Look at this." Rika muttered as Keiichi looked at the pictures decorated on the wall that featured the old guy when he was a lot younger with someone who looks, um, unique to say the least. There was also a picture of a young Nebbercracker as a soldier surrounded by other soldiers as they were all wielding gauntlets on their arms. (Just started Ciconia, guys!)

"Huh? So that's his type of girl? Eh. I prefer girls with long hair and big boobies. OW!" Keiichi said as he then shrieked in pain when he felt someone's foot stomp onto his own.

"Oh. Sorry about that. I thought I saw a bug on your foot. Turns out it was just a shameless pervert." Rika said with a fake smile as her eyes were clearly twitching.

"H-Hey! I was just being honest! I didn't mean to offend you! Plus, who knows, maybe one day you'll get really really big b-" Keiichi said but was interrupted when Rika got really close to him.

"If you say one more word, I will crucify you, K~K." Rika said with a sadistic smile as her eyes turned bright red signaling that 'witch' inside of her as taken over once again.

"Boobies." Keiichi said with a goofy smile then as Rika was about to torture the young man in front of her but suddenly, a crashing sound echoed which drew their attention toward the source of the ear-piercing sound.

"S-Sorry," Rena said as Keiichi and Rika noticed a broken piano that was in a million pieces next to her.

"I-I'm not even going to ask how you managed to do that. Let's just find Satoko." Keiichi said as his two friends followed behind him. Keiichi then noticed a series of doors, three of them to be exact, that were in the vicinity.

"I-I guess we should check all of them to find out if Satoko is in one of them? Who wants to check-" Keiichi began to as he was then immediately interrupted.

"Not it." Rena and Rika said in sync as it was chosen who would open the three doors by default.

"Fine. I guess I walked into that one. Ok! How about door number one?!" Keiichi said as he opened the door that was to the right of him. Once he opened that door he noticed several people that kind of looked like him and the club members but they were in LIVE-ACTION!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Keiichi screamed as he forcibly shut the door. Keiichi then walked to the door to the left of him.

"Door number two then?" Keiichi said as he opened the door. Once he opened that door he noticed a title that read 'Umineko When They Cry' but it then transitioned to the characters that were ANIMATED!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Keiichi screamed as he forcibly shut the door. Keiichi then walked to the door that was across from him.

"You already know that there is going to be something horrifying behind this door. Do I still have to open it?" Keiichi asked Rena and Rika who both nodded in affirmative.

"Fine. What else do I have to lose at this point?" Keiichi said as opened the door. Once he opened the door he noticed people that looked like himself and the club members that were animated and surprisingly well drawn. (Which couldn't have been said for Umineko's anime)

"Ah. This isn't so bad-" Keiichi began to say but then he noticed a title that read 'Higurashi When They Cry Sotsu and he immediately projectile vomited onto the ground.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH(This chair)HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Keiichi screamed as he forcibly shut the door.

"T-T-That was the worst one of the three, BY FAR!" Keiichi said with a horrific expression as he began to scratch at his neck in order to end his existence.

"Oh hey look at that! It's the uvula!" Rika said while ignoring Keiichi's misery.

"Let's shoot at it!" Rena said as she grabbed three water guns out of her pocket and tossed the other two to Keiichi and Rika as they all began firing water at the uvula of the house.

"Good thing that Rena had these water guns in her pocket the whole time! W-What the-" Keiichi said as the floor around him began to morph as the three club members were backed to the wall. The floor then finished morphing (Or morbin haha Morbius exists) and revealed a hole that had the water they unleashed onto it which was then spat out of the front door of the house. Finally, a light coming out of somewhere began to shine into the room that the club members were in as the three of them tried to avoid being detected by the giant ray of light.

"(Humming noises)" Keiichi hummed a theme from a certain tactical, espionage, action game.

"Hey, you can't hum that! That game isn't supposed to come out for another fifteen years!" Rika yelled at Keiichi.

"B-But it's a classic!" Keiichi yelled back at Rika as the giant ray of light locked onto him.

"Oh so you didn't notice Rika but you did for me?! Well, that's sexist if you ask me! Gwahhh!" Keiichi said as the floor morphed again and he was then engulfed into a deep, dark hole. (Kinky)

"K-KEIICHI!" Rena and Rika screamed as their comrade was taken from them. Then, the giant ray of light shined onto them too.

"Sh*t." Rena and Rika both said in sync as the floor morphed once more and the girls were sucked into the deep, dark hole. (Except, they both already have two, HAH!) Well, they are all dead. I guess that's the end. See you guys, later!

"W-What the h*ll happened?" Keiichi said as he found himself lying on a bunch of junk. Just kidding! Like someone from that tactical, espionage, action game once said…'It's not over yet Snake!'

"G-Guys? Where did you all go?! Oh hey, Satoko. Now, where are they?" Keiichi said as he passed Satoko while looking for Rena and Rika. Keiichi then did a double take.

"S-S-Satoko?! You're actually in here of all places?!" Keiichi yelled with a dumbfounded expression as he pointed at the young blonde-haired girl who was playing with the lost toys on the floor.

"Hey, Keiichi-san! There's a lot of cool stuff here! Want to play to-I MEAN! Oh ho ho ho! You finally came to rescue me? Took you long enough! I was so bored here with all of this junk around me!" Satoko said as she did a 180 like it was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Ok. So what's all of that around you?" Keiichi asked Satoko.

"I'm glad that you asked! That's a limited edition plush of Twilight Sparkle from MlP! That's a figure of Optimus Prime! That's a power glove, from that one movie where that kid said 'it's so bad!' And that's a-hey wait a minute." Satoko said as she turned to face Keiichi.

"Please continue." Keiichi said with a s*it-eating grin on his face.

"I-I hate you so much." Satoko said as she blushed as red as a fire hydrant. Keiichi and Satoko both then heard the sound of a ball hitting the floor again and again and they turned in the direction of it.

"Oh hey, Satoko! I found this kyute ball! Rena's taking it home!" Rena said as she then stuffed the ball into her pocket.

"Sure, Rena-san. As long as it's not me you take home." Satoko said with an anxious expression.

"Rena's taking that home! Rena's taking that home! Rena's taking that home! Rena's taking that home! Rena's taking that home! Rena's taking that home! Rena's taking that home! Rena's taking that home! Hau!" Rena said as she stuffed so much stuff into her pocket that it defied physics. (And logic too.)

"Oh look at that! Kyute slinkies! I'm going to take you home! Hau-AHHH!" Rena screamed as she was suddenly enveloped by the slinkies as they took her further into their home. Oh, the irony!

"AHHH! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Rika screamed as she was surrounded by steel pipes that came from somewhere within the house she was suddenly (god I love that word) sucked into one of the pipes!

"NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! RIKA IS A VIRGIN!" Keiichi screamed at the top of his lungs.

"KEIICHI! IF I SURVIVE THIS I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU REGRET EVER BEING BORN!" Rika screamed at the top of her lungs as she was taken into another part of the demonic house. Keiichi and Satoko then ran toward some stairs and once they were on them they morphed and tried to attack them both!

"OH, GOD! EVEN THE STAIRS ARE TRYING TO ATTACK US?!" Keiichi screamed as he ran full speed up the stairs.

"SHUT UP! BE A MAN AND RUN FASTER ALREADY!" Satoko screamed as she was already at the top of the stairs. Once Keiichi got to the top, Satoko opened the door, and they noticed the hole that sucked them into the basement and the pipes that took Rika that then released her.

"RIKA!" Keiichi and Satoko yelled in sync as Rena was then rolling off the giant tongue as she was about to fall into the huge pit.

"RENA!" Keiichi, Rena, and Rika all screamed as their friend fell into the pit to never be seen again. Except, that is not what happened. At the last second, Rena caught one of the wooden floorboards that made up the pit and held onto it for dear life!

"H-HELP ME! I'M GOING TO FALL! I'M GOING TO FALL!" (Umineko reference) Rena screamed at the top of her lungs as Keiichi ran forward to grab her hand but was suddenly seized by the massive tongue.

"S-S*IT!" Keiichi screamed as he couldn't help Rena but Satoko helped lift Rena up and they were both ok. Thank god Satoko was there! But then, Keiichi was about to be dragged back into the basement by the giant tongue!

"NO! T-THE UVULA! OF COURSE! How did I forget about that when it's right over there?" Rika yelled as she ran full speed toward the uvula and after doing some parkour that would make Ezio blush she then jumped onto it!

"TAKE THAT! WOAH!" Rika said as she grabbed hold of the uvula and was then forced into the pit but she managed to grab Keiichi's legs at the very last second!

"OW! Do it harder next time!" Keiichi said as his legs would have torn right off if he didn't have PLOT ARMOR!

"OH, I CAN DO THAT! AND YOUR D*CK TOO IF YOU DON'T SHUT THE F*CK UP!" Rika yelled at the top of her lungs as she and Keiichi were hanging for dear life from the wooden floorboards! (Because Rena and Satoko both noticed some kyute things to take home.) When suddenly...CRASH!

The uvula (that was also a chandelier this whole time) suddenly crashed into the roof of the house as water rushed out of the hole and all the club members present were about to drown!

"We are all so going to die." The four club members thought internally as the demonic house then opened the front door and proceeded to barf them all out of it!

"That was disgusting." Satoko said as she and the rest of the club members were drenched in the 'spit' of the man-eating house. HAH!

"I think I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of my life." Rika said.

"Gross! It's all over me! Ewwwww!" Rena groaned as she shook in displeasure.

"Eh. It could have been worse." Keiichi said as the three girls all stared at him with expressions that visibly said 'are you kidding me?!' (But not really of course.) on them.

"What?" Keiichi said with a confused look.

"Hey, Rika! How do you want to kill this piece of waste?" Satoko asked Rika.

"Gee, I don't know, hmmm, maybe we throw it back in the house if he doesn't mind it so much! Nano~desu!" Rika said with a sadistic smile on her face while using her 'witch' voice.

"No. That's way too generous, Rika-chan. I think I should cut him up into ity bity pieces with my cleaver until he understands that his way of thinking is completely wrong! Hau!" Rena said with a creepy expression as she pulled out her cleaver from her pocket and started licking the 'tip' of it. God, I wish that was 'the bone of my sword' right now!

"I-I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO OFFEND YOU GUYS! I JUST SPOKE HONESTLY!" Keiichi screamed at the top of his lungs.

"WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT THAT TO YOURSELF INSTEAD OF SAYING IT OUT LOUD TO THREE GIRLS! THINK, KEIICHI! YOU BAKA!" Rena, Satoko, and Rika all said in sync as they stood up from the ground with horrifying looks.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME! Y-Y-YOU DEMONS!" Keiichi screamed as he was about to be devoured alive by his three friends turned demons of Hinamizawa when suddenly footsteps echoed throughout the vicinity. The loud sounds made the four club members present look toward the source of the noise and they noticed a certain old man running at speeds that shouldn't have been possible for him! It was none other than, Horace Nebbercracker!

"Oh s*it!" Keiichi screamed as the old man charged forward and tackled him to the ground with inhuman strength!

"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Nebbercracker roared at the top of his lungs as he started to strangle the young man by the throat!

"I-I-I c-can't b-breathe!" Keiichi managed to mutter those words as the old man was attempting to take his life when suddenly Nebbercracker fell onto the ground with him!

"W-What?! OW!" Nebbercracker said as he was kicked in the loins (or the balls) by none other than Rena Ryugu!

"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO HURT MY FRIEND AGAIN, YOU B*STARD! Hau!" Rena roared at the top of her lungs as she finally unleashed the demon inside of her! A form that even scares the s*it out of Shion Sonozaki! Yes, it was none other than, PISSED-OFF RENA!

"OW! OW! OW!" Nebbercracker groaned in pain as Rena kept kicking him but then, Rika joined in on the action too!

"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR HURTING MY K~K, YOU A*SHAT! Ni~pah!" Rika roared at the top of her lungs as she and Rena continued to mercilessly kick the old man. Satoko then decided to drink some tea she found from somewhere.

"Mmm! That was quite good!" Satoko said as she finished drinking the tea with a smile on her face. And then, she started kicking the living s*it out of Nebbercracker too!

"AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DESERVE FOR RIPPING APART MY FAVORITE BIKE! YOU S*ITTY OLD MAN! OH HO HO HO, MOTHERF*CKER!" Satoko roared at the top of her lungs as she, Rena, and Rika, all kept kicking the old man as he was begging for mercy!

"P-P-Please h-have m-mercy!" Nebbercracker cried out.

"NEVER! WRY!" The three girls roared as they all kicked the old man at once and he was sent blasting off again!

"AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T MESS WITH OUR CLUB!" The three girls roared one more time as they pointed to nowhere in particular and Nebbercracker came crashing down to the ground! But somehow, the old man survived.

"Y-Y-You three girls are demons. Augh!" Nebbercracker groaned in pain as he suddenly started coughing up blood onto his body that was covered in bruises after all the kicks he received from the three demons of Hinamizawa.

"Yeah. That's right. They are demons. But, they are bad a*ses too." Keiichi said as the three girls behind him started to blush bright red over his compliment.

"O-Only if you say so, Keiichi-kun." Rena said while staring at the ground.

"I-I guess I'm ok with that. As long as K~K knows that I can fight too." Rika said as she stared in the opposite direction from Keiichi.

"Well, that word is quite vulgar. But, I'll accept it." Satoko said as closed her eyes and smiled.

"Anyway, I've had something I wanted to ask you for a long time but since I never had a chance to say it before, I'm going to say it now. Why are you the way that you are?" Keiichi asked the old man.

"Y-You don't understand. My entire life's goal has been to protect my house from people like you." Nebbercracker said without screaming because it hurt after all those kicks to his lungs he received by the three demon girls.

"You know, that's pretty racist, dude." Keiichi said.

"No! Augh! I wasn't referring to your race, you idiot. I meant how you and your friends trespassed onto my lawn." The old man groaned once more in pain but continued to speak.

"What's your problem?! I accidentally went onto your lawn because I was about to run over a puppy! What else was I supposed to do?!" Satoko said as she was ranting out her frustrations onto the old man.

"Then maybe you should have. I'm sorry, but the amount of damage she can do is much higher than taking one life." Nebbercracker said with a painful expression.

"Who's 'she'" The four kids said at the same time.

"Wait, you don't know? Didn't you see the pictures of my wife? And her skeleton I kept in a cage?" Nebbercracker asked the four club members present.

"YOU KEPT YOUR WIFE'S SKELETON IN A CAGE?! WHAT THE F*CK'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" The four children said in sync with shocked looks on all of their faces.

"Ok. Maybe that was a mistake on my part. That certainly didn't age well. But, just let me explain my backstory so you kids can understand where I was coming from?" Nebbercracker asked the kids in front of him.

"Fine. Go ahead." The four club members said together as the scene began to rewind all the way to the beginning of the story. But, it went far past those events too. It was now time to hear a tale from this old guy's past in a galaxy far far away…

Nebbercracker's Tragic Backstory

"I loved her so much." Nebbercracker said as a scene from decades ago started to replay for the club members to witness, somehow. Don't think about it too hard guys. Anyway, a young Nebbercracker was sitting in a circus with a happy expression as he was watching someone come out of some curtains that read 'CONSTANCE.'

"Ha~ha. Augh!" Constance giggled until he was tomatoes were thrown at her which caused her to become quite mad, but there was nothing she could do since I honestly don't know.

"Oh, so that's your wife. Wait, weren't you in the military? How does that have anything to do with this?" Keiichi said but was interrupted.

"Nothing at all, let me continue." Nebbercracker said as the scene changed to nighttime as Constance was sitting in a cage probably bored out of her mind when suddenly…

"Hello. Young Nebbercracker said after he appeared out of thin air.

"AHHH! Jeez?! Are you trying to give a heart attack?!" Constance said with a pissed-off expression.

"I can take you away from here. Would you like that?" Young Nebbercracker asked.

"Well, that isn't creepy at all." Satoko interjected.

"Hey! I didn't mean it like that! Augh!" Nebbercracker yelled and groaned in pain.

"I think it's sweet. Just like the time I took Rika home with me! Hau!" Rena said.

"Can you please stop making me remember that?!" Rika said as she shivered.

"Yes!" Constance said as young Nebbercracker immediately hooked the cage to the back of his truck and drove off with her.

"S-So you kidnapped her?!" Keiichi yelled.

"No! There was consent!" Nebbercracker protested.

"You just met her. I don't think that counts as consent." Satoko said.

"B-But's she an adult!" Nebbercracker interjected.

"Yeah. Even if she's not technically a 'kid' that's still kidnapping. How didn't you get arrested?" Rika said.

"Shut up guys! Can you just let me enjoy media?!" Rena yelled at her friends.

"Fine. Continue." Keiichi, Satoko, and Rika all said in sync as time skipped to young Nebbercracker and Constance walking in a barren desert toward a sign that says 'FOR SALE' on it and a house behind it.

"Wait, a minute! How much time has passed?!" Keiichi interjected.

"I don't remember quite clearly. Maybe a day or two?" Nebbercracker said.

"So you spent at least TWENTY FOUR HOURS driving across THE BARREN DESERT until he finds a house that is for sale in BUTT F*CK NOWHERE and you just take it?!" Rika yelled.

"Well yeah. It was free. Nothing beats free stuff, especially free houses. I mean there was a dead old couple along with a purple dog in there but it was free! Plus at least it wasn't just a sign and no house." Nebbercracker said.

"You know, I'm not even going to argue against that even though it's super sketchy, let's just continue." Satoko said as Constance was now walking down the stairs while being hit by random objects.

"GET AWAY FROM MY HOUSE!" Constance yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Like husband, like wife." Satoko interjected.

"What?" Nebbercracker said.

"Nothing." Satoko said.

"Wait! Who were those people tossing things into your house at your wife?! How did they do that?! No, better question, who were those people?" Keiichi asked Nebbercracker.

"Oh, them? They were just the local cannibals." Nebbercracker answered.

"WHY THE F*CK DID YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE DESERT?!" Rika yelled.

"Like I said it was free! Plus, there were no people around except for the random cannibals. I killed most of them so it's all well that ends well." Nebbercracker said.

"What do you mean by most of them?" Satoko asked Nebbercracker.

"You'll see." Nebbercracker said as a young Nebbercracker noticed Constance running around the house while screaming in pain.

"Constance! A-Are you hurt?!" Young Nebbercracker asked his wife who we didn't see him actually marry.

"YES! OF COURSE, I'M HURT! IT WAS THOSE CANNIBALS AGAIN! THEY TRIED TO EAT ME BECAUSE I TASTED LIKE CHICKEN!" Constance screamed at the top of her lungs as her spit drenched young Nebbercracker's face.

"But, they are just cannibals, dear. They are hungry." Young Nebbercracker said.

"THEY WERE TRYING TO F*CKING EAT ME!" Constance screamed again further covering young Nebbercracker in spit.

"Wait a minute! You actually defended the cannibals?!" Keiichi yelled.

"Well yeah! I killed some of them with my gun from the war but they were just people! So I stopped killing them! How could I not feel bad for them?!" Nebbercracker retorted as the scene continued.

"THEY WERE HURTING ME!" Constance yelled as young Nebbercracker grabbed her by her shoulders.

"Constance! Look at me! As long as I'm here I won't let anybody hurt you." Young Nebbercracker said with a smile.

"THEY ALREADY WERE!" Constance and Satoko said in sync because the latter was so pissed off to hold her feelings back.

"I hate so much about the things that you choose to be." Rika said.

"I take offense to that! A-Anyway!" Nebbercracker retorted once more as the scene continued.

"AUGH!" Constance screamed in pain as one of the cannibals jumped on top of her and started biting her neck.

"Mmmmm! Dinner!" The cannibal moaned in pleasure.

"Y-YOU SAVAGES! DIE!" Constance screamed as she grabbed an ax that was just sitting somewhere in the house for reasons as she lifted it into the air.

"CONSTANCE! NO!" Young Nebbercracker screamed as Constance swung the ax which sliced off that cannibal's head but for some inexplicable reason young Nebbercracker took the ax away from his wife.

"YOU IDIOT!" Keiichi, Rika, and Satoko all screamed in sync as Constance lost her balance and fell to the ground as cannibals came out of nowhere to avenge their comrade's death.

"DELICIOUS MEAT! DINNER TIME! (eating noises)" The cannibals all roared in sync as they jumped on Constance and started eating alive!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Constance screamed in agony as her flesh was being consumed by cannibals as young Nebbercracker did nothing to help her. At all.

"Oh god! That's horrifying! Everybody, close your eyes!" Keiichi screamed at the top of his lungs.

"There goes my precious adolescence," Rika said as she and the other three club members all projectile vomited at once.

"You know. On second thought, maybe that was a mistake on my part." Nebbercracker said.

"YOU THINK?!" All four club members present all yelled in sync as before they knew it Constance was now just a skeleton.

"CONSTANCE! NO! Waaah! Waaaah!" Young Nebbercracker cried as he cradled the skeleton of what remained of his wife.

"I don't feel bad for you. This is your fault." Keiichi interjected.

"B-But she was my wife! I LOVED HER!" Nebbercracker yelled.

"Yeah. And it's one-hundred percent your fault she died. Rika said.

"B-But-But" Nebbercracker began to say but was interrupted.

"What Rika said." Rena and Satoko said in sync.

"Whatever. Anyway, I-I killed them. I killed them all! They're dead! Every single one of them! And not just the men, but the women, and the children too! They are like animals! And I slaughtered them like animals! I hate them! They took my wife away!" Nebbercracker yelled as his young self was shown killing all of the cannibals in many gruesome ways that are not appropriate and since Higurashi is for kids, I won't describe them! You're welcome!

"Wow. It's what you should have done in the first place." Satoko interjected.

"In hindsight, you're right. Anyway, after I killed all of the cannibals, I was finally alone. You'd think I would be satisfied but it was boring being alone in a barren desert, with my wife who was just a skeleton now and couldn't do any of the kinky stuff I liked doing with her." Nebbercracker said as his young self looked at what remained of his dead wife.

"Gross." The four club members said in sync once more.

"But the worst part, the worst part was that there was no TV! I WAS SO BORED! So I decided to move away. And I did with my wife's skeleton and the house-" Nebbercracker said until he was interrupted.

"Wait! How the h*ll did you move your wife's giant skeleton AND YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE?" Keiichi yelled.

"I just put my wife's skeleton on the cargo bed of my truck and I took my house the same way I took Constance's cage," Nebbercracker explained.

"Jeez, what the f*ck is wrong with you?!" Rika yelled.

"I wanted to keep my wife with me till the day I died! What was I supposed to do?! Bury her?" Nebbercracker retorted.

YES! YOU IDIOT!" All four club members said in sync.

"Well, I didn't. She was my beloved!" Nebbercracker retorted again.

"You didn't even marry her. Wait that reminds me, why did you move to Hinamizawa in the first place? You're an American, right?! Why didn't you just stay there and move to some suburban town?" Satoko asked Nebbercracker.

"So, you remember how I killed all of those cannibals right?" Nebbercracker asked the four club members present.

"Yeah?" All four club members replied in sync.

"Apparently in America, it's a crime to kill anybody, even if they are cannibals or not. So I had to flee the country." Nebbercracker answered.

"Oh, but still why Hinamizawa?" The four club members asked at the same time.

"You know, I don't even remember why I moved here exactly, in the first place." Nebbercracker answered again.

"REALLY?!" The four club members replied at once.

"What do you expect? I'm old! I'm over seventy years old! I can't remember half the stuff I did in the past!" Nebbercracker retorted.

"Fair enough" The four club members replied in unison once more.

"So I moved away from the barren desert and into Hinamizawa. She would have wanted that." Nebbercracker said as his younger self unloaded his house onto a random part of Hinamizawa.

"NO! SHE WANTED YOU TO HELP HER!" The four club members interjected.

"She died, but she didn't leave." Nebbercracker said as a random paperboy threw a newspaper near his house which caused his house to throw it back at the paperboy causing him to fall off his bike.

"Wait a minute! What do you mean by that?!" Keiichi interjected.

"Constance's soul somehow merged with my house. Didn't you realize that was why I told you all my backstory?" Nebbercracker said.

"Oh, that explains a lot, a lot." Rena said.

"What do you mean?" Nebbercracker asked.

"We thought it was your soul that merged with your house." Rika replied.

"That's stupid." Nebbercracker scoffed.

"THEN EXPLAIN WHY YOUR WIFE'S SOUL MERGED WITH YOUR HOUSE?!" The four club members yelled together again.

"I have no idea! One day everything was fine, the next it wasn't! I can't explain something like that!" Nebbercracker retorted once more.

"It's probably because you didn't bury your wife." Satoko said.

"NO, I DON'T WANT THAT! CONSTANCE BEING IN THE DIRT…?! I WANT HER TO BE WITH ME AND NO ONE ELSE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! EVEN AFTER I DIE… I WANT TO BE AT THE FRONT OF HER MIND FOR A WHILE! TEN YEARS, AT LEAST!" Nebbercracker screamed at the top of his lungs.

"T-T-THAT'S PATHETIC!" The four club members roared once more.

"ANYWAY! I had no choice but to protect my house from kids like you so I played the role of the grouchy, old man who wouldn't be nice to anyone! If I didn't then a huge disaster would have definitely occurred! Augh!" Nebbercracker screams and groans in pain.

"I have one more question." Rika asked Nebbercracker.

"What is it?" Nebbercracker replied.

"Why did you support the dam project? Wouldn't that have caused your house to go out of control if it was going to be destroyed?!" Rika said.

"Well, you see, I was feeling bored and money is a nice thing to have. So I kinda just went with that Hojo guy was saying so I could profit off of the situation." Nebbercracker answered.

"But you got the money right?! Then why are you still hear?" Satoko asked.

"After over thirty years, for some reason, my truck broke. I don't how, it just stopped working one day." Nebbercracker replied again.

"Ok. I think I get the picture now." Keiichi said.

"Well, that's my life story for you kids! Hope you liked it but I have to get back to my wife now. So later, kids!" Nebbercracker said as he started walking back to his house which was starting to come to life. Keiichi then attempted to stop Nebbercracker.

"No, no, NO! I can't let you do this Mr. Nebbercracker! I know you've been protecting us all these years! But! Now it's our turn to protect you! Let her go!" Keiichi yelled at Nebbercracker while gripping his shoulders and the demonic house started to glare at the two men.

"But if I let her go, I'll have no one." Nebbercracker said with a pained expression.

"That's not true. We can be your friends!" Keiichi said as he offered a hand to Nebbercracker and the club members in the distance looked at the old man with smiles on their faces. Nebbercracker was about to grasp Keiichi's hand when suddenly…

"You know I admit it. I've made a ton of mistakes in my life. I let those cannibals roam free. I let them kill my wife. I've kept my wife's skeleton with me for thirty years. But, I think I've finally realized the error of my ways. Maybe, I can finally move on. Maybe I was wrong." Nebbercracker said with a smile as his hand was about to touch Keiichi's hand.

"NAH! I'M COMING HOME, DEAR!" Nebbercracker screamed as he started to run to his house at full speed.

"Goddammit! It didn't work! We have to stop him before that house kills us all!" Keiichi roared as he started to sprint to the demonic house while the other three club members followed in pursuit but they were too late. The house then suddenly spouted arms and came to life!

"WAIT! NO! MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH!" Nebbercracker screamed as the 'Monster House' grabbed his body with its giant arms and…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!(harder)!" Nebbercracker screamed at the top of his lungs as the demonic house chewed his body and swallowed him whole! Horace Nebbercracker had died.

"OH THANK GOD HE'S DEAD!" The four club members present said in sync. After finally fulfilling its 'man-eating role' the demonic house then began to transform as several dust clouds formed around it. The dust clouds finished dispersing and what was revealed was the 'Monster House' having achieved something more. It gained legs and a mouth too. Wait, what?!

The 'Monster House' then proceeded to stand on its two legs, clenched its fists, flexed its muscles, and looked to the night sky. It finally began to sing. A SONG?! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

"P is for priceless, the look upon your faces. E is for extinction, all you puny little kids. R is for rrrrrevolution, which will be televised. F is for how f*cked you are, now allow me to reprise! E is for eccentric, just listen to my song! C is for completion that I've waited for so long! T is the terror upon you I'll bestow. Hm hm hm my name is Constance and I'd like to say…hello." Constance sang as it then bowed toward the four club members present.

"I-I-IT CAN SING?! WHAT THE F*CK?" The four club members screamed in together as even I, the narrator, have no idea what is happening anymore.

"That is not all I can do. I can also do this." Constance said as she casually destroyed nearby lampposts with ease. The four club members began to run away as fast as they can.

"THE HOUSE IS ALIVE!" Keiichi screamed at the top of his lungs as the Monster House chased after him and his friends.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!" Satoko screamed as she was using everything she had to evade the Monster House as it destroyed more lampposts and utility poles like it was nothing.

"Hey! That's destruction of property do you want to go to jail, to jail?!" Rena screamed at the Monster House.

"Oh gee, I'd like to see the police try to detain a GIANT HOUSE WITH ARMS AND LEGS! That would be a real hoot!" Constance said as she continued to chase the club members while not trying too hard because this was no more than a game to her.

Meanwhile in Okinomiya Police Station

"I'm so bored, Onee!" Shion groaned in boredom as she sunk back into the comfy chair she was sitting in.

"Well, Shion, there's nothing we could really do but wait here until we are released out of the police's custody." Mion said with a nonchalant expression.

"H-How are you ok with this?! I'm literally about to go crazy after sitting in this chair for HOURS with no one to talk to other than that annoying fat ass and Ooishi." Shion said.

"I hate you so much, Shion." Mion grumbled as suddenly the door of the room they were sitting in sprung open, it was revealed to be Katsuya Kumagai.

"Ok. We just learned that Horace Nebbercracker was released from the Irie Clinic with nothing more than a slight concussion. So you girls are free to go." Kumagai said with a smile.

"FINALLY! It's about goddamn time I was released from this hellhole! I'm going home! See you whenever, I guess, Onee." Shion said as she exited the room without waiting for her older sister.

"Later, Shion." Mion said as she quietly muttered an 'oh thank god' to herself. Mion then proceeded to walk out of the room as Kumagai then stopped her.

"Before you go, I just received a call from someone named 'Keiichi Maebara' saying that he needs to talk to you right now. He was pretty desperate if you ask me." Kumagai said.

"Wait! Could this-could this finally be happening?! Could Kei-chan actually be admitting his love for me? IS THIS REALLY ABOUT TO HAPPEN?!" Mion said internally as hearts formed in her eyes (metaphorically speaking) and her mouth was drooling. (That one was real)

"Um, hello? Earth to Mion Sonozaki?" Kumagai said while snapping his fingers which snapped Mion back into reality.

"Sure, thing!" Mion said as Kumagai gave her the phone.

"Yes, Kei-chan! What do you want to tell me? Could it be that-" Mion said as she was interrupted by Keiichi on the other end of the phone as he said something that was inaudible to everyone except Mion.

"Excuse me, what?" Mion said as the scene went back to Keiichi and the girls as he was holding the phone in the one telephone booth in all of Hinamizawa.

"Like I just said! Mion, we are being attacked by a GIANT MAN-EATING MONSTER HOUSE! I know how ridiculous that sounds but you've got to believe me! Rena, Satoko, and Rika are all with me right now and we are in danger! Like we are literally screwed if you don't come back to Hinamizawa and help us!" Keiichi screamed at the phone to make sure that Mion was hearing everything he said, and he was understandably about to s*it his pants out of absolute fear.

"Fine, fine! I understand the situation, I guess! But you have to give me some time to get back to Hinamizawa! Fifteen minutes, at least!" Mion yelled into the phone she was holding.

"Ok! Got it! Please get here soon!" Keiichi said as he hung up the phone without waiting to hear a reply from Mion since the situation was that desperate.

"Be safe!" Mion said as she hung up the phone and said a quick 'thanks' to Kumagai before she went out of the police station and in pursuit of her younger sister.

"Please still be here! YES!" Mion muttered to herself as she managed to find Shion.

"SHION!" Mion yelled to get her sister's attention which made Shion jump in panic.

"J-Jeez?! What do you want Onee?!" Shion yelled back at Mion.

"D-Do you by any chance have something, anything that could destroy a house with you on hand?!" Mion asked Shion as the latter almost stumbled backward out of surprise.

"W-Why would I have something dangerous enough to destroy a house with on hand?!" Shion said as she muttered 'b-but' to herself.

"But what?! Shion! If you have something that could destroy a house then I need it right now!" Mion yelled once more as her younger sister finally gave in.

"F-Fine! I may have a stick of dynamite. But don't you dare ask where I got it from OR why I have it!" Shion said as she took out the stick of dynamite that she had hidden between her boobies. (HAH!)

"Thanks, Shion! I love you so much!" Mion said as she hugged her younger sister, took the stick of dynamite, and ran away at insane levels of speed toward Hinamizawa.

"Y-Your welcome, I-I guess. But now how else am I supposed to rescue Satoshi-kun now?" Shion said with a blush as she walked in the direction of her apartment as the scene changed back to Keiichi and the girls once more.

Meanwhile in Hinamizawa

"Got to go right now! Got to go right now! Got to go right now! Got to go right now! Got to go right now! Got to go right now! Got to go right now! Got to go right now! Got to go right now!" Keiichi yelled to himself as he was running as fast as he possibly could as the girls behind him were desperately trying to keep up with him as the Monster House followed them.

"This is kinda fun! I like running away from a giant walking murder house! Hau!" Rena yelled.

"No, Rena-san! This is not fun! We could literally DIE if we stop for a second! Don't you agree, Rika?! Rika? RIKA?!" Satoko yelled as she looked behind her and didn't see the purple-haired girl named Rika Furude.

"No. No! NO! RIKA WAS EATEN BY THAT MONSTER HOUSE-" Satoko said as she was interrupted.

"Nah! That coward, she ran away in a different direction! Probably in an effort to save herself! She doesn't have any guts at all-" Constance said as something was then thrown at her. It was a rock. And the person who threw it was none other than…Keiichi Maebara!

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL RIKA A COWARD! RIKA IS FAR MORE STUBBORN THAN YOU THINK SHE IS! AND THAT STUBBORN GIRL IS GOING TO DEFEAT YOU!" Keiichi roared out at the top of his lungs as he made his declaration at Constance.

"Ha. Ha~ha. AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That little shrimp will defeat ME?! Yeah right! There's no possible way that she could do ANYTHING of harm against ME! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Constance yelled and laughed as she continued to chase after the three club members that were present.

"Quick question, Keiichi-san. WHERE THE HECK ARE WE EVEN GOING?" Satoko screamed.

"WE ARE ALL GOING TO RENA'S FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD!" Keiichi replied.

"C-Could it be Rena's precious JUNKYARD?!" Rena asked Keiichi.

"THAT'S RIGHT! THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING YOU UGLY PIECE OF S*IT! COME AND CATCH US IF YOU CAN!" Keiichi roared at the top of his lungs to make sure that the Monster House heard him.

"Oh, I will! Don't you kids worry about that! You kids are going to DIE TONIGHT! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Constance yelled at the club members fleeing for their lives.

Meanwhile at the Furude Shrine

"I-I made it." Rika said as she reached her destination which was her family's shrine, the Furude Shrine. Rika proceeded to tap the code on the keypad on the shrine which unlocked its doors as she then opened them.

"So, this is where you were the entire time, Hanyu." Rika said as she stared into nothingness as a girl in a shrine maiden outfit materialized in front of her. It was none other than Hanyu.

"So you found me at last, Rika." Hanyu replied.

"You were always so good at hide and seek. So good in fact that I could never find you as a child. But, I've grown up now, and I finally found you." Rika said calmly.

Yes. After one hundred years of looping, again and again, you've finally begun to grow up. And now, I must ask you the question." Hanyu said as she grabbed something out of the statue of the god of Hinamizawa, Oyashiro-sama.

"Hanyu? What are you-" Rika said as Hanyu then rushed forward at her blinding speeds. Rika tried to dodge the attack so she bent down as Hanyu stopped in place.

"Rika Furude. Daughter of Ren and Asuka Furude. Do you swear to protect to live your life to the fullest?" Hanyu asked.

"I-I swear!" Rika replied.

"Do you swear to protect the people that you love no matter what happens?" Hanyu asked.

"I swear!" Rika answered

"Do you swear to protect all of the villagers of Onigafuchi, no, all of Hinamizawa even if you have to sacrifice your own life to save them all?!" Hanyu asked.

"I SWEAR!" Rika answered confidently as she felt something fall onto her head. They were tears. Hanyu was crying over Rika.

"You've finally become a woman. This is for you. It's my treasured sword, the Onigari-no-ryuuou. This sword can slay any demon that comes into contact with it. No matter if they are small or big, they will be annihilated by this sword." Hanyu said with tears dripping from her eyes as she passed on her weapon to Rika.

"H-Hanyu?" Rika said but was interrupted by her ancestor.

"And now that I have passed on my treasured sword to you, I must bid you farewell, Rika." Hanyu said as she began to dematerialize in front of Rika.

"H-Hanyu?! No! Don't go! I need you! PLEASE, HANYU!" Rika screamed as tears began to drip from her eyes as the girl in shrine maiden clothing did not stop dematerializing in front of her. In fact, the process only began to quicken with the passing of each second.

"No. You don't need me in your life anymore. All I have ever done was be a burden to you. Time and time again, I kept interfering in your life even though all I was doing was preventing your growth. For one hundred years, I've forced you to repeat these summer days, again and again out of my own selfishness. Even when you stopped Takano and managed to defeat fate itself, I interfered and didn't let you grow into the woman I knew you could have become. But, now, after all this time, I let you do something without my help. And now my sin has been cleansed." Hanyu said as tears mixed with angel feathers that were falling off of her but before she could leave this world and enter a new one, Rika held her tight with all her might.

"NO! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN A BURDEN TO ME! I-I'VE ALWAYS RELIED ON YOUR HELP! TIME AND TIME AGAIN I ASKED YOU FOR HELP BECAUSE I BELIEVED YOU WERE THE ONLY PERSON I COULD TRUST. BUT, I WAS WRONG! I KEPT IGNORING MY FRIENDS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AGAINST FATE UNTIL THEY SHOWED ME THAT FATE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A PIECE OF PAPER THAT COULD BE BENT AND RIPPED APART BY SOMEONE ELSE'S WILL! HOWEVER! I WOULD HAVE NEVER LEARNED SUCH AN IMPORTANT LESSON IF I NEVER HAD YOU IN MY LIFE! DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT YOUR HELP WAS A SIN?! YOUR HELP WAS A KINDNESS I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!" Rika roared out those words as she was crying her eyes out and holding Hanyu in her arms.

"You are such a kind and gentle woman. Thank you for telling me those words. I will always love Ouka, Fuuka, Asuka, and all of my descendants equally but, you will always have a special place in my heart, my daughter, Rika. Till we meet again, somewhere, someplace, when the Higurashi cry." Hanyu said with a bright smile on her face as she finished dematerializing and returned to her world, the world of fragments.

"T-Thank you for all the time you have spent with me, and all the kindness and love you've given me, mom." Rika said with a smile on her face as tears fell from her eyes and onto the wooden floor as the Higurashi cried in the background.

Ten minutes later

Keiichi, Rena, and Satoko finally reached the garbage dump as the Monster House was closing in on them.

"A-ARE WE ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE TO THIS PIECE OF S*IT HOUSE?!" Keiichi screamed at the top of his lungs as he, Rena, and Satoko finally made it through the trash heap's entrance as the Monster House busted through the gates.

"You know. I know you kids are playing me, trying to lead me to this place where you think you have a chance at defeating ME! But, I want to see what you kids have got. SO GIVE IT TO ME ALREADY! I'M WAITING YOU SNOT-NOSED BRATS!" Constance roared as crashing sounds can be heard. The loud sounds echoed throughout the entire garbage dump until the club members appeared with their toy…a giant construction crane truck!

"SURPRISE MOTHER F*CKER!" Keiichi roared out as he used the crane on top of the truck to strike at the Monster House, but it caught the crane in both of its giant hands.

"S*it! How did you do that?!" Keiichi screamed out loud.

"WITH THESE HANDS DUMBASS! Did you seriously forget I had these?! But you get points for creativity!" Constance roared at the club members.

"Oh boy! What do we win, we win?!" Rena asked the Monster House.

"HERE'S A KNUCKLE SANDWICH!" Constance roared again as she held the crane with one hand and with her other hand she decked the construction crane truck!

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH(yay)HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The club members screamed (and Rena squealed for a second in delight) as the construction crane truck they were all in flew into the air and fell back to the ground.

"Well, that takes care of that. Now, how about I go kill the rest of these villagers-" Constance said as her giant hands clapped together at a job well done before she was interrupted by a new challenger.

"HEY, YOU S*IT SMELLING HOUSE! EAT THIS!" A girl with green hair said that was none other than Mion Sonozaki holding a stick of dynamite! But as she was about to light the fuse with a lighter Mion had on hand, Constance grabbed her.

"Oh no, you don't! Like I'm going to let you do something that could actually kill me! Say goodbye, whoever you are! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Constance laughed as she was about to crush Mion like the insect she was compared to the giant Monster House she was when suddenly…

"W-WHAT?!" Constance yelled as a crane hit her dead on which caused her to let go of Mion.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mion screamed as she was about to fall to her death when suddenly she was caught by Keiichi!

"I-I GOT YOU, MION!" Keiichi roared as he caught Mion in his arms bridal style. F*cking awesome.

"K-Kei-chan." That was all Mion could say until she was interrupted by the Monster House that recovered from the club members' attack.

"HOLY S*IT! THAT HURT LIKE H*LL BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?! EVEN THOUGH YOU BRATS ARE SO F*CKING ANNOYING, THIS IS THE MOST FUN I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!" Constance yelled.

"Fun enough to let us go by any chance?" Satoko asked.

"Not even a chance." Constance replied.

"Tch. Worth a shot." Satoko said as she clicked her tongue.

"Well, what are you brats going to do now?! That surprise attack won't work again! So what plan do you have?! HOW EXACTLY DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DEFEAT ME NOW?" Constance asked the club members.

"WE ARE GOING TO PUNCH YOU EVEN HARDER, even harder!" Rena roared as she used the controls inside of the construction crane truck to strike the Monster House, but the crane was stopped short as Constance used her arms to catch the crane again.

"HAH! YOU REALLY THOUGHT THAT WOULD WORK WHEN IT FAILED THE FIRST TIME?! YOU STUPID F*CKING BRATS! WAHAHAHAHAHA!" Constance laughed again as she lifted the giant construction crane truck into the air and threw it!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The club members present screamed at the top of their lungs as they were threw into the sky but they were thrown near a tower crane.

"NOW'S OUR CHANCE, MION!" Keiichi roared as he and Mion were both on top of the construction crane truck as they then proceeded to jump off of it! Keiichi managed to grab the ladder that was on the tower crane however, Mion wasn't close enough to grab it in midair!

"K-KEI-CHAN!" Mion screamed as she was about to plummet to her death when suddenly, at the last possible second, Keiichi grabbed her arm and saved her life!

"That makes two times I saved your life tonight!" Keiichi yelled as he winked at Mion.

"T-T-Thanks," Mion said as she blushed bright red. Keiichi and Mion then proceeded to climb the ladder as the construction crane truck fell back to the earth and luckily on its tires again.

"Oh thank god!" That was too close, too close!" Rena yelled as she felt her heart beating out of her chest.

"I-I think that I'm going to be sick," Satoko said as she held a hand over her mouth as the Monster House clapped nearby.

"Bravo! Bravo! You brats managed to survive once again to dumb luck! But all luck eventually runs out. Believe me, I know. I was born with a condition that made me quite obese and-" Constance said as she was cut off by Satoko.

"We get it! You were forced to join the circus and then Nebbercracker let you get eaten by cannibals! He told us already!" Satoko yelled at the giant house with limbs and a mouth.

"Well, that saves time. Great! Now I can kill you worthless brats EVEN FASTER!" Constance roared as she used her giant arms to strike at the construction crane truck but was blocked!

"(rings horn) YOU AIN'T NOTHING! YOU'RE A SHACK! YOU'RE AN OUTHOUSE!" Rena roared as she wrestled with the Monster House.

"Oh, clever! Those were some good insults! However, WORDS CAN'T DO S*IT AGAINST ME! I'M A GIANT F*CKING HOUSE! WAHAHAHAHAHA!" Constance laughed she got the upper hand and was about to send the construction crane truck into a pit with spikes!

"WHY?! WHY IS THE H*LL IS THAT IN A GARBAGE DUMP?!" Satoko screamed as the scene transitioned back to Keiichi and Mion who both were still climbing the ladder.

"Do~do-do! Do~do-do! Do~do-do! Do~do-do! Do~do-do! Do~do-do! Do~do-do! Do~do-do! Do~do-do! I~m~still~cilmbing~this~ladder!" Keiichi internally said as the construction crane truck was slammed into the pit of spikes while Rena and Satoko managed to jump out of it at the last possible second!

"Oof!" Rena and Satoko both said in sync as they rolled onto the ground.

"THERE GOES YOUR ONLY WAY OF ACTUALLY STANDING A CHANCE AGAINST ME! WHAT NOW? WHAT THE H*LL ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?" Constance asked the two girls.

"We are going to, (coughs) RUN FOR OUR LIVES!" Rena screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran away from the Monster House.

"OH, I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT!" Satoko screamed too as she followed Rena as they both ran away as fast as they could from the man-eating house.

"So it's tag again? You're boring me. I'm bored." Constance said as she remained still. The scene then transitioned back to Keiichi and Mion who both finally finished climbing the ladder. Keiichi then walked onto the top of the construction tower and accidentally looked down.

"I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT!" Keiichi said as he started to sweat like crazy.

"Kei-chan, everything's going to be ok. You just have to calm-" Mion said in a soothing voice but Keiichi interrupted her.

"I-I CAN'T! THIS IS INSANE! THERE'S NO WAY I COULD POSSIBLY DO THIS! I'M ALL TALK! WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE I'M JUST A COW-" Keiichi yelled but before he could finish Mion grasped his shoulders tightly and then kissed him on the lips. ABOUT GODDAMN TIME! The young man and woman stayed like that for a few seconds and then separated.

"M-Mion," Keiichi said as he stared dumbstruck at the green-haired woman in front of him.

"You can do this. If you don't believe in yourself, then believe in the old man that believes in you! Now, go be a badass, Kei-chan!" Mion said as she closed her eyes with a bright smile on her face.

"YOU GOT IT, MION!" Keiichi roared at the top of his lungs as he climbed across the crane on the crane tower with newfound determination while muttering to himself "I kissed Mion!" and "I kissed Mion on the lips!" when in fact it was Mion who kissed him. The scene then transitioned back to Rena and Satoko who were now just strolling across the junkyard.

"S-So are you going to attack us? Or are you going to keep standing there, MENACINGLY, menacingly." Rena yelled at the Monster House.

"Eh. I'm bored! You brats better do something cool quick or I'll just go and kill some random villagers. Fighting the police sounds a lot more fun right now!" Constance said.

"K-KEIICHI-SAN! ANYTIME NOW!" Satoko yelled toward the crane tower which got the Monster House's attention.

"Wait a second. There are only two of you here. I know that coward ditched you but where's the guy and that green-haired girl?" Constance asked the two girls.

"Them? OH HO HO HO! They definitely left! They went home because they were so scare-" Satoko said but she was interrupted.

"But Satoko-chan, Keiichi-kun and Mii-chan are over there." Rena said as she pointed at the crane tower.

"DAMN IT, RENA-SAN! READ THE ROOM WHY DON'T YOU?!" Satoko yelled at the top other lungs as the Monster House looked at the crane tower.

"I-I don't understand? What the h*ll are they doing up there? Unless. UNLESS! No! No! NO! THEY WOULDN'T DARE GO FOR MY-" Constance roared toward the crane tower as Mion lit the stick of dynamite but suddenly Keiichi accidentally grabbed the hook and fell with it!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Keiichi screamed as he fell with the hook!

"K-KEI-CHAN!" Mion screamed at the top of her lungs as the hook that Keiichi fell with proceeded to vanish from sight.

"WOW! TALK ABOUT S*IT LUCK RIGHT THERE! FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT THAT I WAS-WHAT?!" Constance roared as the hook that fell with Keiichi swung back toward the crane tower!

"NOW, MION!" Keiichi roared as Mion tossed him the stick of dynamite that was about to explode as the hook swung toward the Monster House!

"NO! I WON'T LET YOU! DIE! YOU F*CKING BRAT!" Constance roared as she attempted to eat Keiichi but she missed as the hook carrying the young man swung around her and back to the crane tower!

"HAH! YOU MISSED! IT'S ALL OVER NOW-" Constance began to say but Keiichi used the momentum to launch himself back toward the Monster House!

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Keiichi roared at the top of his lungs as he threw the stick of dynamite with everything he had into the furnace!

"F*ck." Constance said as Keiichi grabbed Rena and Satoko who were still on the ground when suddenly…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" The stick of dynamite unleashed a massive explosion that annihilated the Monster House!

"I-Is it over?!" Rena said as she and Satoko were holding onto Keiichi for dear life as the hook carrying the three kids broke as they all fell to the ground. But thankfully, the three kids were only a few meters away from the ground so they were all fine. They all stood back up and looked toward the remains of what used to be the Monster House.

"W-W-WE DID IT!" Keiichi, Rena, and Satoko all shouted in sync and hugged each other when suddenly…

"P is for priceless, the look upon your faces. E is for extinction, all you puny little kids. R is for rrrrrevolution, which has been televised. F is for how f*cked you are, now allow me to reprise!" A certain voice said once more while something shot across the night sky.

"AUGH!" a scream of pain echoed throughout the junkyard which caused the three kids to look toward the crane tower when they saw that Mion it was who screamed!

"M-M-M-MION!" Keiichi screamed at the top of his lungs as he saw the green-haired girl collapse on the crane tower!

"H-How?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!" Rena screamed at the top of her lungs as Satoko was crying her eyes out when suddenly they all heard a certain laugh. It wasn't just anyone's laugh. It was HER laugh.

"Ha! Ha~Ha! WAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'M BACK B*TCHES!" The voice was revealed to be Constance as somehow the Monster House survived that fatal final attack!

"You. You! YOU F*CKING B*STARD!" Keiichi roared at the top of his lungs as he rushed forward at the Monster House with a baseball bat he found in his hands when suddenly he was grabbed by one of its giant hands.

"Really? Did you honestly think such a PATHETIC ATTACK was going to kill ME?! Well, to be honest, it would have worked but through dumb luck, a piece of me survived the attack. THAT was all I needed for MY REGENERATION! Any last words, Kei~chan?" Constance asked Keiichi as she held the young man like an insect in her hands.

"G-GO F*CK YOURSELF!" Keiichi roared at the top of his lungs as he made his final stand against the Monster House holding his body.

"How about, YOU FIRST! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Constance laughed as she threw Keiichi into the night sky and slashed the crane tower in half with her other hand which caused Mion to fall as well. Keiichi noticed Mion falling and caught her one last time in his arms.

"I love you, so much, Mion." Keiichi said as he closed his eyes while grasping the girl he loved in his arms and accepted his inevitable demise. When suddenly...

"I can't believe you're cheating on me with Mion! You suck K~K!" A certain voice was audible as Keiichi opened his eyes and noticed that he was back on the ground with Mion.

"N-No way." Keiichi said as he looked up to the night sky and saw a certain girl in a shrine maiden outfit floating like an angel. That shrine maiden outfit. Keiichi remembered seeing it many times. That outfit belonged to only one person he knew. And that person's name was…

"R-R-RIKA!" Keiichi screamed the name of the girl that floated in the night sky which caught the attention of the other club members and the Monster House too.

"Ha! Ha~Ha! WAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU?! YOU ACTUALLY CAME BACK?! YOU ARE SUCH A FOOL!" Constance roared as she attempted to strike the woman floating in the night sky with one of her massive arms when suddenly…

"No. You are the fool." Rika said.

"A-A-AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Constance roared out in pain as the arm she tried to strike the young purple-haired woman with was completely annihilated by a swift and unavoidable attack!

"M-MY ARM?! HOW DID YOU CUT IT OFF?" Constance asked the woman.

"How? You were moving so slow I just happened to cut it off with this." Rika said as she lifted a sword that was shaped like a cactus. Its name was the Onigari-no-ryuuou.

"Y-YOU F*CKING B*TCH!" Constance screamed at the top of her lungs as she tried to attack the woman floating in midair with her remaining arm but before she could, Rika closed the distance and slammed her sword into the stomach of the Monster House!

"GLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Constance groaned in absolute pain as she then proceeded to puke all over the junkyard when suddenly she coughed out a certain old man. It was Horace Nebbercracker and he was alive! Wait, what?!

"I-I-I'M ALIVE!" Nebbercracker shouted at the top of his lungs in satisfaction over making a grand return from death itself.

"OH COME ON!" The club members screamed as the Monster House lost its legs and its mouth as it looked at the young woman in shrine maiden clothing with absolute fear in her eyes.

"What? I can't hear you? Cat caught your tongue?" Rika said sarcastically as she held a hand to her ear. The Monster House could only whimper at the young woman floating in the night sky.

"You know. You're boring me. I'm bored. Guess, I'll just finish you off." Rika casually said as her red eyes, the eyes of a witch of miracles, looked at the Monster House without any pity in them whatsoever. Rika then proceeded to bolt across the night sky at blinding speeds! Then suddenly she landed her final attack and slammed right through the demonic house's core! And with the sword that kills all demons, Onigari-no-ryuuou, she utterly destroyed the Monster House completely! The Monster House was finally and truly destroyed at last!

The Monster House's remains all vanished into thin air as the young woman in shrine maiden clothing could be seen floating in the night sky. As the moon reflected onto her body, it made the illusion that she was standing on the giant astronomical body. And as feathers danced around her, it truly made the woman called Rika Furude look like an angel. The beautiful sight of Rika Furude floating near the moon was only witnessed by the people down below, if it was ever painted, it would be nothing more than a masterpiece itself.

"Thank you for everything, Hanyu. Without you, I wouldn't be alive today." Rika said with tears in her eyes and a bright smile on her face.

"And with that, this chapter in my life has come to an end." Rika said as she snapped her fingers as the scene darkened around her and the curtains finally fell.

Eleven months later

"Rika!" A young girl with short blonde hair said as she was trying to wake up a girl with long purple hair who was sleeping peacefully on a futon.

"Come on already! We are going to be late! You do realize today is the day of Watanagashi, right?!" Satoko asked the sleeping purple-haired girl.

"I know." Rika said as she opened her eyes with a smile on her face.

"Jeez! If you were awake this whole time then you could have said something!" Satoko yelled with a pouting expression.

"I know. But it's so fun to tease you! Ni~pah!" Rika said her cute catchphrase as she closed her eyes and smiled mischievously.

"Y-You are such a big meanie! Rika!" Satoko said with a blushing face which made Rika giggle. Satoko giggled too as the two girls remained there for a little while, as they laughed their asses off.

"It's almost been an entire year since that day when I finally took my first steps into becoming an adult." Rika said internally as she and Satoko rushed out of their house.

"I'm only twelve years old so I still have a long way before I truly become an adult but I'm going to enjoy it while I can." Rika internally said as she and Satoko met up with the other club members (plus Shion) who were all alive and well.

"That day almost ended in tragedy as Mion almost died but thankfully she was rushed to the Irie Clinic. One of Mion's lungs was destroyed, but when Shion heard the news, she declared that she would give one of her own to her older sister. The two sisters were closer than ever but of course their bickering would never end." Rika internally said as Shion teased her older sister which caused Mion to get pissed off at her younger sister though Keiichi calmed Mion down.

"Mion was apparently conscious during the finale of the fight as she heard Keiichi's declaration of love to her and reciprocated them. They are now a couple but those lovebirds continue to annoy me for some reason." Rika internally said as Keiichi kissed Mion on the cheek that causing the latter to become flustered and slapped him. Mion then apologized many times as Keiichi reassured her that he was ok.

"Mion had to leave the Hinamizawa Branch School to go to High School so she elected the person she trusted most to replace her. Keiichi's now the leader of the club which now includes all of the students from school." Rika internally said as many kids greeted the club members.

"Rena has been doing well too. In fact, she found a new hobby of dressing up in many outfits she would call kyute. Rena became so popular in fact that some rich person found out and promised to make her the mascot of something he calls 'cosplay.' Whatever that means?" Rika internally said as Rena showed off a very kyute outfit that the other club members requested she change out of because it showed way too much skin. Keiichi was ok with it and he was bonked on the head by Mion as a result.

"Shion was quite pissed off when Mion and Keiichi entered a romantic relationship but she calmed down when a miracle occurred. Satoshi returned, alive and well, and now they too have become a couple." Rika internally said as Satoshi greeted the club members and Shion as the latter kissed him for so long that he almost passed out because he couldn't breathe.

"Satoko is just happy that she has her older brother back in her life and has made it her mission to turn him into a chef. Unfortunately, it hasn't gone too well and Satoshi almost burned our house down which Satoko scolded the heck out of him for." Rika internally said as Satoshi rubbed Satoko's head which made the latter smile brightly.

"A few weeks after that night, Ooishi reported to some big shot in America that Nebbercracker was in his country. Several people then came to Hinamizawa to arrest Nebbercracker and he remains in an American prison for the rest of his life. Poor old guy. Though Ooishi is retired now and is doing fine." Rika internally said as Ooishi greeted the club members Shion and Satoshi.

"As for me-" Rika internally said but was cut off by Satoko.

"Hey, Rika? Are you ok?" Satoko asked Rika.

"Of course! Nano~desu!" Rika said as she closed her eyes and gave Satoko a bright smile. The scene transitioned to the club members, Shion, and Satoshi all having fun at the festival and finally to a Rika in her shrine maiden outfit as she was about to perform the sacred dance on the night of Watanagashi.

"I'm going to do exactly what I swore to Hanyu. I'm going to live my life to the fullest! I'm going to protect the people that I love! And I'm going to protect everyone in this village no matter what happens!" Rika internally said as she lifted up the ceremonial hoe and began to perform her dance as all the villagers watched in delight. The scene transitioned one last time to a lone girl in shrine maiden clothing with horns on her head as she watched the scene play out.

"Farewell, my children. May you all live long and wonderful lives." Hanyu said as the scene faded to black and the curtains fell one last time. There were many more stories to tell about Rika and her friends but we'll save that for another time. Goodnight everyone!

Higurashi When They Cry: Monster House Destroying Chapter – The End
