Chapter 4
* * * * * *
Hitomi slowly follows Yukari upstairs to her room. I wonder what happened this time; it looks like it was really bad just by her appearance. Hitomi carefully closes her bedroom door and sits down on her bed beside Yukari. An awkward silence fills the room.
"Hitomi?" "Yeah?" "I don't think I can go on living like this, It's non-stop and I feel like my parents don't love me anymore" silent tears run steadily down Yukari's face. "Don't ever say that! Your parents love you but they are probably so caught up in how they hate each other they forgot to tell you. No one in their right mind…" "But that's just it Hitomi, they're not in their right mind."
Yukari suddenly jumps off the bed to her feet and starts to pace back and forth. As suddenly as she started she stopped, turned to Hitomi and stared at her. " I- I wish that I was somewhere where I wouldn't be in their way." At that moment a blinding pillar of pink light encloses Yukari and starts to lift her off of the floor.
"Aaaaaahhhhh! Yukari!" "Hitomi HELP! I'm not standing on the ground anymore." "I can't reach you" "Well JUMP!" "I can't something is holding…" as Hitomi looks up Yukari's feet disappear through the ceiling. " Oh my gosh! She went through the ceiling." Hitomi instinctively went to touch her pendant but it wasn't there. "She also has my pendant. Oh man I forgot to get it back from her after the race."
Meanwhile
"I just went through her ceiling, huh! Who'd have figured? Am I …DEAD?!" Yukari put her hand up to her chest to feel a heartbeat; instead she touches a cool stone. "Well at least I know I'm not dead, but what's this?" She quickly grabs it and holds it up to her face. "Hitomi's pendant" Yukari mutters softly. "It's glowing" Then everything goes pitch black.
