A/N: crossover between my 2 favorite Japanese shows and movies Ring and Yu Yu Hakusho! ^_^
Gah! So pissed off . so anything between [] is a thought and. . .if I make up anything else later on, then I'll let you know on my next installment of my story :p
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The bell rings, signaling the end of the school day. A girl walks through the corridors of school. Her head is bowed down and her bangs shadow her face. She clutches a label-less videotape to her chest. Two of her classmates begin to whisper as she passes by.
"Chise has been looking pretty pale," the first girl says.
"It's because today is her last day," states the second girl.
"Last day?" the first girl is puzzled at first, then her eyes widen and she covers her mouth with her hands, "You're kidding! How did she get a copy?"
The second girl lowers her voice even more so, "Remember when Yutaka and Tomi watched the tape? Well, Chise thought everything was just some stupid urban legend, so Yutaka gave her a copy before Tomi could."
"And she watched it," the first girl shook her head, "Chise, always one to challenge superstitions."
"Yeah, anyway, she watched the tape and got the phone call afterward. She thought it was all a joke and started bragging about how she 'survived the curse'."
"But didn't Tomi die four days ago? That was seven days after he watched it," said the first girl. The second girl nodded, "Exactly. So for the last four days, she's been trying to pass off the copy to someone else. No one would take anything from her."
"Poor girl, she was so nice," sympathized the first girl. The second girl snickered, "So why don't you watch the copy for her?"
"No way! I said she was nice, but I wouldn't risk my life for her," laughed the first girl.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chise continued to walk faster. There was no time left. [If worse comes to worse, I'll just have to give it to any random person I see!] thought Chise frantically. She was so wrapped in her thoughts that she didn't notice another classmate walking in the opposite direction. CRASH! Chise fell back, but before she could hit the ground, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back up. The tape fell from her hands and the clattering of the tape continued to echo for a while.
"Sorry," mumbled Chise, "I was lost in thought, I didn't see you, Minamino-kun."
"It's ok." Suuichi smiled at her. He picked up the tape and handed it to her, "Here, you dropped your tape."
Chise looked up. He was holding on to the tape. The wheels in her head began to spin. Her eyes lit up.
"Oh, that old thing. You can keep it," said Chise. Suuichi raised an eyebrow, "I don't know. It belongs to you and I don't want to take your things."
"No, no! I insist! Keep it! You should watch it tonight. Before 10! It's a horror movie, and it'll have a better effect if you watch it after the sun sets but before 10," said Chise, while silently praying that he would take the tape.
Suuichi was about to protest, but something in Chise's eyes were urging him to keep the tape. He sighed, "Fine, I'll keep it. Thanks."
Chise broke out in a huge grin, "No, thank YOU! You saved my life! I can't thank you enough!"
Unable to contain her excitement, Chise gave Suuichi a hug and left, leaving a very bemused Suuichi.
[I'm going to live! I'm going to live!] thought Chise as she skipped home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
[9:30 p.m. I'm sure he already watched the tape.] thought Chise as she looked over at her clock. She was home alone, her parents had left hours ago to play Mah Jong next door. [They should be home any minute. I'd better finish up this essay.]
Chise threw herself on her bed as soon as she finished her essay. She glanced at her clock. It changed from 9:55 to 9:56. Her heart started to beat faster. [Why am I so scared? I already gave the tape to Minamino-kun. I'm sure he watched it. Oh no, I hope he didn't forget.] Chise's eyes darted to her phone. [ Maybe I'll call him. . .just to make sure. . .]
Chise sat up and picked up her phone. She dialed Suuichi's number, her heart beat faster for ever dial tone. Finally he picked up, "Hello?"
Chise let out a small sigh of relief, "Hello? Minamino-kun? Did you watch the tape?"
The clock now read 9:57.
"What tape?"
Chise's heart skipped a beat, "You know. . .the one I let you keep?"
There was a small silence. 9:58.
"Oh, I remember now," began Suuichi. Chise let out another sigh of relief. 9:59.
"But I didn't watch it yet, sorry," continued Suuichi. Chise dropped the phone.
"Hello? Are you still there?" Suuichi's voice called out from the receiver. 10:00. The TV in Chise's room turned on. There was static on the screen. Frantically, Chise ran to the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. She ran her fingers through her hair and began to pull at the roots. An eerie feeling ran through her. She tried opening the door again. Damn it! Why won't it budge?! Chise turned around. She opened her mouth to scream.

A/N = Mah Jong is actually a Chinese game, but the only reason I used it in the story was because it was the only game that I knew that parents like to play (well my parents actually), I don't know any traditional Japanese games :p
My first attempt to write a horror/action-adventure fic. There are too many romance fics out there so I wanted to add something new (not that I have anything against them. . .it's just that there's a lot of them. . .)
Well anyway, please R & R :p
