Rukawa

Marry this girl?! Have you gone out of your mind?!

"You're too young for me," I said.

Samara Morgan's eyes darkened, she hung her head, letting her hair fall over her head. "No, I'm not. I'm about 54 years old."

Nanniii?!

"You're too old for me," I said instead.

Her eyes shot a deadly glare at me. "One more word about the age, and I shall send you to hell. Literally."

I lifted up and eyebrow.

Then a girl came running towards this way, clung onto my arm. She looks like one of the girls that cheer for me during any game. The word 'Ka' was printed on her white blouse. She glared at Samara and stuck out her tongue. "Rukawa is mine! Mine!"

Samara's eyes were hidden behind the hair, she lifted up her head a bit, her eyes met Ka's eyes.

Ka was already sobbing, I could barely make out what she was murmuring between her sobs, "I'll save you… don't care… if I'll die… can't live without you…." She increased her grip on my arm and tried to back away from Samara, but didn't manage to make me move. (I'm not weak. Humph.)

My heart pounded furiously as I could feel the evil, the evil power that caused Ka to lose her grip on my arm and she sank to the floor.

I tried to blink away the confusion that was invading my mind. I looked at Ka's face and froze-

Her jaw dropped wide open, her eyes were blank whiteness, and her face looks so dry and had the colour of a corpse.

"Come with me," Samara said in a cold voice. I could not help but to comply.

"Where are we going?"

"My home. In a well."

In a well? Well, well.

***Imagine:

"Kaede! Spring cleaning! Scrub! Scrub!" yelled Samara, holding a whip, while I had to scrub the well with a sponge even though my arm ached badly. The whip lashed out, again and again, with Samara laughing hysterically at the background.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

And maybe 6 months later, a doctor was cramped with them in their home (which is the well). The doctor held a wrapped baby in his arms and handed it to me.

Samara's eyes twinkled in delight, "Isn't he beautiful?". The baby was a skeleton, with some bits of flesh in its face.

"Daddy!" the baby said.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

***End of imagination

"No! I'd rather die than to live with you!" I yelled suddenly, backing away from Samara.

Samara had a deadly aura surrounding her. "You better listen or you'll regret it!" she hissed.

"Just… just kill me. I wouldn't be able to play basketball or do anything I please, living with the likes of you!" I uttered my words confidently, slowly backing away.

"I'll grant your wish then," Samara answered, slowly raising her head.

Samara

Rukawa waited coolly, but I knew he was also in cold sweat.

I got a grip my power, ready to destroy Rukawa….

But something, something held me back. There was a gnawing feeling inside me, and a lump on my throat.

I-I couldn't….

How could you kill someone you love?

I loosened my power, and turned around and left the puzzled Rukawa behind with tears streaming down my eyes.

[[ A few days later-- ]]

Ru

I left some red roses on near Ka's headstone.

The other commoners and our majestic Rukawa Briagders were all here to waste our time spilling our tears for Kaki.

~Her headstone was written with:

Here lies Kaki, Who obviously wasn't very lucky.

~

Oh! Poor, poor Kaki!

Haruko

SHE'S DEAD! HIP-HIP-HOORAY!

Oops, I'm not supposed to say something like that.

I wandered around aimlessly in the crowd of people dressed in silky black clothes.

Standing near a tree was the-faceless long haired girl!? She can't be attending Ka's funeral, probably just hanging around because she was dressed in white.

Then a red-head, (hey! That's Sakuragi!) walked up to the girl and said something like, "Why are you dressed in white?"

The faceless longhaired girl flashed a big wide grinned in some sort of evil manner at Sakuragi. "My, aren't you afraid of my looks?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Sakuragi asked back, looking puzzled.

… Sakuragi is so brave.

Sakuragi

What kind of question is that? Isn't that a mask she's wearing?

That girl scratched her chin, looking at me like as if she's coming up with some tensai-ish idea.

Samara

My lips suddenly curved upwards.

There is many fish in the sea.
