Ren was about to object, but Jun had already hanged it on his neck.
"It looks good on you Ren!" She exclaimed.
"That's cool Choco but the bracelet is too loose for me, maybe it'll fit you.." She said pulling the bracelet out of her wrist.But to her surprise it tightened to a size too fit that it won't get off.
"Oh! Looks like it's stucked!" She said puzzled. "Onii-san can you help me.." She was getting
nervous.
She could swear that it was like the size of an anklet earlier.
Jun helped her, but it won't get off. Pirika was only hurting herself trying to pull it out.
"AAGH! THIS NECKLACE! IT WON'T GET OFF!" Ren shouted with a desperate tone.
Everyone in the room looked at him, then looked at each other.
Almost one hour has passed. It's almost 10:00pm, still Manta, Ryu, Chocolove, Jun, Ren and Pirika is inside the living room.
They have tried everything possible to get it off but the strings of the beads were like made of steel.
Pirika haven't said a word, she was stunned. It was no big deal that a bracelet is stucked in her hand -in pair with Ren's necklace- but she finds it creepy. What if something is haunting the bracelet, and would now transfer to her body and ruin her life. Her brother is the shaman, not her. She thought.
"This is your fault Chocolove! You brought that STUPID BOX with that STUPID NECKLACE! If I'll be able to take it off, I'll your neck with it!" Ren screamed in rage.
"Ok! Ok! I'm sorry." Choco said trying to calm Ren down. "I'll look for a way, Ok?" He continued.
He was clueless about that box, it was only a gift he received while working in a circus.
"Oh! The box! Where is it!" He asked. "Maybe there's something in it!"
"Hey Choco! Look behind the hatchet!" Manta said pointing on the embeded words in the box.
It read:
"THE MASTER" "THE SLAVE"
For true love to last. The blessed beads will only come off when true love found is conceded.
Chocolove and Manta looked at each other. Then they glanced at Ren and Pirika nervously.
Ren stood up and took the box. He read it with his eyes, he's face slowly turned red.
"What the..?" He uttered. He turned to Chocolove with his evil glare.
Jun took the box and read it out loud.
Pirika's eyes grew big, her cheeks blushed.
Ren? True love? What the..! She thought.
"JUN-SAN HEEEEEEELP!" Chocolove said gasping.
Ren was wrestling him to death.
"How could this happen!" Ren said while choking Chocolove.
Manta and Ryu helped him, they were pulling Ren away from him but he was so strong that he kept on reaching the poor Chocolove.
"REN-KUN, STOP IT!" Pirika stood to help his friend.
To their surprise Ren suddenly stopped. Making him, Ryu and Manta tumble behind.
"Huh!" Pirika, Jun and Chocolove in chorus.
Ren stood up and turned to Pirika. Puzzled.
