sirius'sheelah: Thanks for your reviews! I'll try to write more and make the story as interesting as possible.

DeMoN4EvA: Hey! I like the same stuff as you do but my fav. is CSI. They are the best! Well.. Shuichi is not alive but dead. Now he is a Shinigami( Gods Of Death). I like gothic and dark story. Here is the chapter 5. Thanks for your review.

YukiShufan: I'm really sorry for the spelling mistake and grammar error that I've made. I'll try to pay more attention. Sometimes, I just accidentally made those mistakes. Thanks for you advice to get someone to beta for me. I'll try. I'm really happy with the comment you've madeand once again I'm sorry for all the cliff hangers. Read the note below. I hope you'll understand. Anyway, Thanks for you review.

foreseen: You are the third person who have said the same thing to me…. (Cries) I'm so sorry for leaving it hanging. Thanks for your review!

penguinie: At first I used " " mark when I wrote this story but somehow I got used to using ' ' mark. I'll consider it. I'll try correcting my tense. Thanks for your review!

hoshi-chan: Well…. I also pity Shuichi and Yuki… but somehow… I just love to torture Yuki a bit.. Hehe.. Thanks for your review!

To EVERYONE: I'm super duper mega bummer sorry to leave it hanging if this story is always cliff hanging. It's just that sometimes, what I want to write is going to be in the next chapter. Hopefully you'll understand… I'll try my best not to leave any hanging in the future but …. I can't guarantee it though…. I'll try to update the next chapter of a cliff hanger (if there is) together next time. Will this be ok? At least it will be together and won't be hanging around leaving you guys to wonder around. Sometimes I just can't help but to leave it like that. So, I'm sorry... Hope you guys will forgive this small little author who is trying her best to get more review... (Bowed sincerely!)

Ritual

Silencing the eerie night,

The lost souls repeated their sins,

Hunger and craving never stops,

Dragging innocent's life down,

Pleases the ever hungry Satan.

Death and Rebirth 5: Ritual.

Behind the lively road, in a quite little alleyway, a young girl is holding a knife in one of her hand.

'Death is the most beautiful ritual in this world… Don't you think so, Yuzumi-chan.' a deep and dark voice whispered to a young girl. A dark figure is standing behind her with his hands on her shoulder. Under the moonlight that shone down her face, there is a trail of tears down her sad eyes.

'Now…. Do it… Go and present him… your soul.' The voice whispered again causing the girl to tremble. Slowly, step by step, she walked out from the dark alleyway. Nobody noticed her even when she walked into the unholy park.

The park is now isolated due to series of murder happening there. Yuzumi sliced her wrist and with her own blood, she drew the same sign that all the victims drew. The mysterious figure's eyes stared at her. His mouth curved up in delight.

Yuzumi began to say the spell. Her heart was screaming, screaming for her to stop but nothing she could to regain her control back over her body.

The realm that you roam shall open up the door,

To this sacrifice made,

Devour me completely to ease your hunger,

Just as the ritual is complete, Yuzumi's soul is now presented to the devil as a sacrifice. What is left is only her bloodied body with her eyes wide opened. Tears rolled down her cheek. He walked over to Yuzumi's body.

'How sad that you need to be my sacrifice.' The mysterious figure stared at Yuzumi. He took out a handkerchief and used it to close Yuzumi's eyes.

'Why….?' Yuzumi whisper shocked him.

She's alive? No…There's no soul in her.

'Poor thing. What you left now are just questions?' He laughed.

'Your soul is just essential to be made as a sacrifice…. for me to repay my debts….' With that, the mysterious figure walked away.

'Now… I still left 5 more souls to be free…'

-End Of chapter 5:Ritual-

Here is a short chapter. Just about this chapter's title, Ritual. Hope you'll like it. Please tell me what you think about the poem on the top page.I hope it does not sucks...The next chapter most probably is on Shuichi explaining what happened to him but don't expect to know the whole truth. Even Shuichi himself also does not know about the whole truth. It will be revealed as the story goes. So… Don't hate me for leaving it hanging! Ja… mata ne.
