Samara
"Is there any possible way I can help you?" that guy asked.
Whoa, so kind. So sincere. So… odd.
"No, there's no way," I faked a sniffle, "I live in a well and both my parents are dead."
The guy gave a sympathetic look.
"Now leave me!" I snapped. "You're just a stranger to me!"
The guy smiled. "My name is Jin. Soichiro Jin."
His sense of kindness is really creeping me out.
He is so creepy that I can't even get a grip on my power.
"I'm Samara Morgan." No handshakes, please.

Jin
I couldn't help but to feel sorry for this girl. She must have a hard time with strangers. She's lonely, scared and frail.
Besides that, she's quite young. I assume she's about… 10 years old?
"Don't worry, you can stay in my house," I said to this girl.

Mrs Soichiro
Ding! Dong!
Oh! The doorbell! It must be Jin darling.
I threw down the knife next to some carrots on the wooden chopping board and rushed towards the door.
I opened the door. Smiled at my son and my eyes drifted to his companion-
"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Samara
….
I twisted my lip into a scorn and muttered, "I'm not that ugly."

Jin
"No, it's not that. It's just that I didn't prepare enough food for guests," said my mother.
"Sorry, I forgot to give a phone call," I apologized, scratching the back of my head in some sort of apologetic way.
My mother looks quite traumatized. I really, really should have made that phone call.
Her eyes were staring into space as she gestured for Samara and I to enter the house.
"Take a seat," I told Samara and she obeyed without saying much.
"Mom, I want to tell you something," I prepared my mother for some explanation. She gave a slight nod, but she was still staring into space.
"Wait, I'll go get us all a drink first," I said while I moved to the kitchen.
[[ Later after got everyone in the tiny living room a drink, Jin's explained about his intention of his kind deed. ]]
My mother's hands were trembling as she held the cup of coffee in her hands. Samara was just staring at the glass of orange juice in her hands. Kids love orange juice, so she must be shy (to not be drinking her orange juice).
"How much would the medical bills cost?" my mother asked sweetly, putting down the cup of coffee on a pool of spilled coffee on the rectangular glass-table
"Medical bills? What medical bills?" I asked, confused. Yeah, what medical bills?
"Jin, don't you see?" my mother's voice cracked while I could see the disturbing frustration in her eyes, "This girl… Samara… she's a… a…." She gasped for breath and could not carry on her sentence.
"I know mom, a leper. She's got leprosy, but I want to help," I said, noticing some of the flesh on Samara's face were missing.
Samara dropped the glass of orange juice on the floor and her head glanced at my way. The glass smashed onto the floor, spilling orange juice on the carpet.

Samara
What?! He thinks I have leprosy! Isn't leprosy the disease that causes some parts of the body like the fingers to slowly fall off? Ahahahahahahaha!
I'm not a leper. I'm not even alive. Some parts of my face have decayed over the years.
I was trembling violently, mainly because I wanted to burst out laughing, but had to bury the laughter because this is getting interesting and I don't want to ruin the events by getting Jin and his mother to stare at my sudden outburst of laughing fits.
~
Jin
I shouldn't have said that in front of Samara. She's now trembling with hurt.
"I'm sorry to say that," I apologized to her. However, my mother was still staring into space like a dummy.
"Isn't leprosy contagious?" my mother asked. "Long time ago, lepers were sent to live far, far away from the villagers."
I smiled. "We are all humans. We shouldn't discriminate one another."

Mrs Soichiro
Oh my dear son, my poor son, my precious.
…..
"I'm so proud of you," I sniffed getting some tissues from the tissue box, touched that my son is willing to help others in need.
I dabbed my teary eyes and smiled at my son.

[[ The next sunny morning-- ]]
I poured a glass of chocolate milk for Samara.
Ker-blop, ker-blop, ker-blop the slightly frozen chocolate milk went when it was being poured into the glass.
(A/n: That's how Mrs. Soichiro's milk went. Ahahahhahahaha! Joke! Sorry for hentai joke insert.)
I heard the door open. My son is going to practice his 3-point shots again.
"Where's Samara, Jin?" I asked, holding the glass of chocolate milk. (P.s: The chocolate milk is poisoned! Bwahahahaha! Joke again. * Gets strangled by the reader *. )
Jin closed the door and walked towards this way. "Oh, Samara borrowing my computer and said that if she leaves, we shouldn't look for her."
"That's nice dear." I nodded, the glass of chocolate milk still in my hand.
Jin took the glass of chocolate milk from my hand and drank it.
"Arigato gozaimasu haha*!" Jin left the apartment and the empty glass on the basin.
( * He said "Thank you mom." Haha is mother in Japanese, he isn't laughing. I'm telling you this so that you can start calling your mom haha. Haha! )
Ah, so Samara is borrowing the computer and she might leave anytime. We shouldn't look for her if she goes missing.
….
Wait a minute, she's going to hijack the computer!
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" I ran towards Jin's bedroom and flung the door open. (A/n: Such an energetic mother!)
Phew! The computer was there, but Samara wasn't. "That girl could have at least have the decency to switch off the computer," I said, as I flicked a switch. The computer shut down.

[[ Somewhere else-- ]]

Haruko
I was on the Internet, chatting. Yay!
Then suddenly-
"What is that?!" I squinted my eyes at the small tiny dot on the screen.
The dot became bigger, and I realized it was a girl with her long hair covering her face. She's walking to me!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
I quickly went running out of my room, abandoning computer, Internet, chat and all.
~
Akagi
I heard my sister screaming, waving her hands up in the air, running towards me, telling me something about "faceless girl with long hair".
I knew I shouldn't have asked Haruko to eat broccoli for breakfast.
~
Samara
I fell out of the computer's screen. That girl sure was quick to run.
Oh well, no time for that! I sat on the computer chair (the one with wheels. I'm sure it's not called a wheelchair).
I scrutinized the computer screen. Two people (called Matsui and Fujii) in MSN were typing stuff like "Hey! Are you there?! Speak!"
Ah, then I found what I wanted.
Using the mouse, I clicked on the icon and scrolled through pages and pages of Rukawa images. Heaven! Heeheehee.
Then some words caught my eye. Rukawa's address!
My lips curled into a smile and I left the room through the door.
~
Haruko
"There she is! There she is!" I cried hysterically as I whirled around to face my brother, pointing at the faceless girl with long hair who was walking out of the room.
My brother grunted. When I actually got him to look, she had already gone.
My onnican these days….
~
Akagi
Hmph. I knew my little sister was just seeing things.
My imouto these days….
~
Samara
Huh, Rukawa isn't home. Not to worry, I have the patience to wait till dawn arrives.
I stood outside his house, listening to the ancient music spell called "Lady Marmalaid" on my "borrowed" Discman from Jin. (Forgot to ask permission to borrow. Oh well, I am supposed to be evil anyway.)
Hey sister, go sister….

Wa
"Nooooo! Let me perish and sleep peacefully in my grave!" Ka screamed while struggling away from Ru's grip and mine.
Ka's pigtails were getting in my face. Splutter, splutter.
"Chill Ka! I know that creepy and ugly girl joined our club, but that doesn't mean we should commit suicide," Ru cried, her very short curly hair bouncing up and down.
"This is a disgrace!" Ka screamed, throwing a powerful blow at Ru's way.
BAM!
Ru was KO-ed with a black eye.
I immediately let go of Ka with fear of getting a huge "beauty" mark on my delicate face like Ru.
After all, I have longer hair than Ru and Ka (which means I'm the most beautiful among them all!).
Ka ran out of the house, screaming dementedly.
"Ugh, I was only trying to help," chocked Ru, her hand and eye twitching in pain. Twitch, twitch.
"At least she's not trying to stab her heart with a mechanical pencil anymore," I said, looking at the bright side.
Translation: I'm glad I didn't get a black eye like you! Heehee!

Rukawa
It's already very dark, 12:00am.
I cycled faster, feeling drowsiness getting hold of me.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz….
Crash!
Uh? Who did I crash into?
Eh? That girl looks awfully familiar.
Oh! That hairstyle!
I remember now.
I'm going to sleep. I yawned as I got up and picked up my bicycle.
~
Samara
He is right in front of me!
Quick! Think of something to say.
I finally found my tongue.
"Voulez vous couche avec moi?" **
Oops, that didn't come out right.
( ** "Voulez vous couche avec moi?" is from the 'Lady Marmalaid' song. It means "Would you sleep with me tonight?" )
~
Ka
Honk! Honk!
"Hey lass! Get out of the road!" the brute kept honking in his car.
"Let me diiiiiieeee!" I moaned, lying in the middle of the road.
Why are there so many cars surrounding me? Not one car had run over me and let me die. Instead, I get these drivers throwing unromantic words at me.
I stood up and stuck out my "friendship" finger at them (I always wanted to do that) and then slumped back down on the tarred road.
Someone is calling the police, but I don't give a fig.
I was as a pigeon was flying above me and-
It dropped a "white bomb" on my hair!
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" I screamed, got up and ran far away from the road before the more pigeons decide that they want to give me more "presents".
"Ick! My hair! Unholy pigeons!" I cursed while trying to get the icky white stuff out of my beautiful pig-tailed hair.
"Who are you?" A voice asked from not far away from where I stood. My heart skipped a beat. That voice-it's Rukawa Kaede's voice! I was about to reply until I heard someone else reply:
"I'm Samara Morgan."
I immediately froze in horror. No! Goodness-knows-what Samara would do when she's with Rukawa-kun!
I had to peek, had to eavesdrop.
With my great stealth, I hid behind some (ugh!) trashcans and watched.
I waited for what that creepy girl was going to say. My heart was thumping furiously, waiting painfully for that creepy girl's words to Rukawa.
"Come with me," that creepy girl said.
"Why?" Rukawa asked, seemingly startled by the sudden request.
"Marry me! Let's live together! We can live together in a well, harass other people's lives!" Samara cried, her words gushed out speedily. She grabbed Rukawa's collar (but could not lift him up since she's shorter). "Let's go now."
Noooo! This cannot be happening, I was tearing my hair out just by watching this creepy girl expressing such far-fetched imagination-it should be me instead of her!
"Nooo! Rukawa-kun! Don't listen to her!" I cried, running towards to my Rukawa-kun.
Samara eyes darkened.
