Title: Welcome Battuosai Chapter 2 By: Shineko_Squee

Chapter 2

"Hey Jou-chan, you there?" A voice yelled from the living room, soft footsteps following shortly after. It didn't take long for the foot steps to reach her, but Karou didn't notice. She was still caught in her trans. What the hell was that? Who was she? How did she find me? Why could I see through her? How..how did she know my name?

How did she know......

"Yo, hello, Earth to Jou-chan." Sano repeated, this time shaking her a little by the shoulders.
"Huh, huh what. Oh, sorry Sano. I was out of it for a minute there." She laughed a little, but it was forced, and Sano could tell.
"You okay? You looked like you saw a ghost." He looked into her eyes, trying to find the truth behind them, but there was nothing there, nothing but fear and confusion.
"Yeah, tell me about it." She whispered under her breath, hoping that Sano wouldn't hear her. To late.
"What did you say?" Oops, caught. "Huh, oh, nothing. Just talkinh to myself. So, whats up?"
He looked as if he didn't belive her, but that was okay, not many people could even get that out of Karou. "Megumi asked me to stop by and invite you to lunch today. She..has someone she wants you to meet."
Karou looked at Sano through silted eyes. "Sure." she said slowly. "I'll be there." Now she put a smile on. She couldn't let Sano think something was wrong. Not yet at least.
Sano nodded. Then, turning around, grabbed an apple off the table and left the house, leaving Karou to her thoughts.

How'd she know who I was....

Noon
Megumi's house

"So Megumi, what is so important that you had to get us all toghether in one place?" Misao asked from her spot at the table. As usuall, Aoshi sat next to Misao, Sano next to Megumi, and Karou sat by her self.
"What?" Megumi asked innocently, "I cant want my famliy to come over to see me every once in awhile"
"Cut the crap Megumi. What is going on." Misao agrgued. She is wasting to much time on tricks like this.
"Alright! Fine...Me and Sano are moving." She blurted out. Every face turned to instant horror and confusion. The entire family has never been splint up by anything short of death. And now...now they are moving. Willingly. This could not be happening. The only one in the group who hadn't moved, was Aoshi..like always.
"Megumi! What do you mean move away!" Karou yelled. She wouldn't let this happen.
"Relax Jou-chan. There is a very good reason.." Karou shot him a look, which clearly ment "and..." "Well," He said, getting the clue to move on, " As you know there is a massive string of murders right now. At first it was just men. But now that a woman was killed, Megumi and I just feel that Tokyo is not the best place to raise a child at the moment."
Everyone froze. Child, there was a child. Megumi slapped Sano on the arm. "It slipped, I'm sorry." He said in his defense. That seemed to satisfy her for the moment.
"A child, why didn't you tell us Megumi?" Misao pressed.
"I did'nt think it would be a good idea being that so much is going on right now. But now you can see why I want to move. Its not safe right now. The police say they have no clue when this Battuosai guy is going to hit agian. And what if he starts killing children. We have to move!" Everyone nooded there head in agreement. They all could understand.
They were about to talk, when the T.V interupted them.
"Another girl was found murdered. This one behind her own house. Police say that the girl has only been dead a few hours. The identity of the girl has yet to be released, but when we find out, we will let you know."

Another murder..Maybee I saw her. Maybe she is the one that was killed. But that dosnt explian why I saw her this morning, hours before she was killed...

Well, what do you think. I will post another chapter soon. A girl can only do so much.

Remember, push that little button!
