Chapter 2
"What classes do you have?" Mio asked her sister as she looked through her schedule and papers. Mayu looked at her with a sad expression. "I have History, Biology, Japanese, Math, Lunch, Gym, Communications, and study hall.." she sighed as she plopped down onto her bed. She looked at Mio as if saying 'now tell me yours'.
"I have Biology, Japanese, Math, History, Lunch, Art, Study Hall, then Gym... Why would the principal give us all these seperate classes? I mean, didn't Uncle Kei tell them to put us together?" Mio suddenly recalled that specific little detail. Mayu shrugged and sighed again. Mio knew she was upset, so she got up and layed next to her sister. "We'll be okay, I promise" Mio reassured, which led to Mayu returning to a more calmer state. The two sisters fell asleep, hand in hand.
'W-Where am I?' Mio asked herself as she woke up in the middle of a dark and eerie forest. She sat up and looked around, searching for a clue of where she may be. She turned around and saw Mayu running deeper into the forest, following a glowing crimson butterfly, that led a small trail of red shimmers behind it. Mayu wasn't in the clothes she was wearing before they fell asleep. She wore a brown jumper with white laces over a black shirt with black laces, the same clothes she wore that day...
"MAYU!" Mio cried, springing to her feet and racing after her twin. Then, something stopped Mio dead in her tracks. It was that laughter. That evil, shrieking laughter. That laughter belonged to the murdered Kurosawa twin, Sae. Mio looked around frantically, looking for the ghost-pale woman.
"Why have you come back, Yae? Have you come to watch me get thrown into hell?" The evil voice asked.
"Where's my sister? Where's my sister: Mayu?" Mio cried out to the heavens, tears swelling in her eyes from the thoughts of her sister being murdered as she spoke.
"Yae," the voice started once more, "have you come to watch me die?" Mayu turned around, but what Mio saw wasn't Mayu at all. Infront of Mio was Sae Kurosawa in a disguise as Mayu. Sae started laughing hysterically; her laugh was so evil and high pitched, it could've broken glass at that very moment. Mio backed up, ready to escape, but, she was stopped by a powerful object behind her. She looked behind her to find a 7ft. mourner. It groaned and grabbed her. Mio was stuck! She couldn't move. She wanted to call for help, but, noise wouldn't leave her throat, and she knew nobody would hear her anyway. Sae moved closer, crimson butterflies fluttered about her body, and Mayu's costume was now Sae's traditional blood stained kimono. She reached out to Mio and let out a loud shriek. Mio saw bodies rise from the ground, all moving closer to her.
Mio jumped out of bed; terrified, sweaty, and out of breath. She looked around to see where she was, and saw Mayu, sleeping peacefully on the bed. Mio had a sudden sense of comfort as she gazed upon her sleeping twin. At that moment, Mio forgot all her troubles, worries, and fears. The only thing that was on her mind now was Mayu. She positioned herself carefully next to Mayu, careful not to wake her. When she was laying face to face with her, she muttered "I love you, neesan..." , and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
