Chapter 3
Two Sides
"N-Nii-san…please…stop this…" Sakura cried as she took a hit once again by Shinji.
"Why…why would you go and be with Kishinami every single goddamn time…!?" Shinji shouted. "You some sort of lesbian or something? What is wrong with you!?"
"I-I don't think it's wrong…it's just…Sempai is…"
"You're just pathetic little weakling, that's what you are, Sakura." Shinji glared at her. "But that's what I love about you. You bow down to me every time. You do my every bidding. It's an awesome life. Yet…you have the gall to go and have Kishinami protect you all the time? What do you expect from her anyways? You're MINE. And MINE alone!"
Another strike after another and Sakura couldn't bare it all.
"Now then…let's do like we've always been doing. To somewhat…relieve my stress, hmmm~?"
"N-no…not this again…NOOOO!"
**End of Flashback**
"Hmph. I think it's high time to get rid of these pesky memories…" BB says as she taps her palm with the tip of her wand. "I will not allow such things to get in the way of life anymore. But…who is this Kishinami person? Sakura must have loved this girl for a very long time. Hmph. Nooooooo matter. As long as I'm here, I can do whatever I would like." She stands up from her chair. "Don't you worry, Sakura. BB will take care of things now."
She walks down the hall of her mansion until she passes by the room where Sakura and Shinji fought for the fake Holy Grail. Another flash of memories form in her head of her transformation and the outcome of it just 3 days after killing Shinji.
**Flashback**
"Nii-san…Nii-san…" Sakura was alone in her room after realizing what happened prior to her wish. She killed her brother out of pure desire for power. She didn't know whether or not she intended to do that, but she knew it wasn't like her to outright murder a person. "I'm so sorry. Even though you did those horrible things to me, you're still my brother. I took care of you like any other sibling would have."
"Ugh…just give it a rest already!" a voice suddenly called out, startling the shy girl.
"Wh-who said that!?" Sakura cried.
"Follow the cold shiver running down your spine…~"
"Eh….?" Sakura quickly stands up and looks around in her room for the voice.
"I'm right here!"
Sakura turned around to the mirror and her eyes widened. "I…I don't understand…"
Her reflection was somewhat different. Her expression was sinister, more evil like. "So many good things will happen for you…ALLL for you…Sakura~"
"What do you want…?" Sakura took a few more steps closer.
"To say what you won't. To do what you can't~" The girl in the mirror replied. "Like removing…that insect in your waaaaay~"
"N-Nii-san…you mean…you killed him…?" Sakura asked.
"WE killed him~" the girl corrected her. "Remember…the most wonderful thing you desired most~?"
Sakura realized what she meant. "Th-that Holy Grail…my wish…"
"Bingo. Me~….your greatest creation~" the girl said. "Bringing you what you've always wanted…power beyond your wildest dreams…and it's only the beginning. So what do you say…~"
Sakura trembled as she backed away a few steps.
"I can make your life better, Sakura. Let me do everything to make your dreams come true~"
Sakura hesitated as the girl extended her hand. Can this girl be trusted? More like…her other self? She didn't know what this girl will do, but maybe she has a point. All the times her life had been a wreck will be nothing but a memory. She was curious to see what she could do.
"P-please…do what must be done…"
**End of Flashback**
"Heh, heh, heh~" BB taps her palm with the tip of her wand again. "Oh, I will fulfill that promise, indeed. First off, I will take care of the people that were on Shinji's side and tried to make your life even more miserable." A smirk appears on her face. "The power of BB Channel should lure them in…~"
With that, she zips past the room and downstairs to the basement where she held her web show. What was once a cluttered, crowded library was now an open spaced, full of technology kind of room. She sits down in her chair, types on her computer until she opens up her main sight. She adjusts her camera and backs away right after pressing the record button.
"BB…Channel~!" she starts as she spins around and winks. "Hello to you all! The name is BB, here to make your dreams come true! I have received looooots of requests from you darling fans, but unfortunately, I will only select a few. You will appear in this very room with a wave of my wand. You get to be on my shoooow~!" She pulls out a jar. "Now then, who will be the lucky winners, hmmm~?" She rummages inside and pulls out three strips of paper. "Ohhh, three lucky girls! Hanako-san, Ran-san and Kiyomi-san!"
She waves her wand and in a flash, three older girls appear. Hanako, the girl with long light blue hair. Ran, the girl with short blonde hair and Kiyomi, the girl with very long brown hair that reaches down her waist.
"Whoa!" Hanako says as she looks around. "Am I…actually in BB's room? Is this a dream~?"
"A dream that will come true for you, my darling~" BB says. "Like I said, your wishes will be at the palm of your hand. And it seems you three kiiiinda have the same desire, hmm~?"
"Well…kinda," Ran says.
"Do not worry. From the power of love, BB will grant your wish~" the violet haired girl says. "Anyone want to go first~?"
Kiyomi steps up. "I will."
"Then, please introduce yourself and we shall begin~"
The brunette turns to the camera. "Hello, everyone~! My name is Kiyomi! A third year and my wish is to look good for my long time crush."
"Interesting wish~" BB says. "And I assume your two friends want the same thing?"
"Of course," Kiyomi replies.
"Well, come on, come on~!" BB says. "Let's bring them in! And! Let's bring in the crushes you desire after the introductions!"
The other two girls trot over in front of the camera and bow.
"Hello! My name is Ran! Nice to meet ya~!"
"And my name is Hanako! I can't wait for our wishes to finally come true!"
"And they will in a second," BB says. "First things first, let's make it official. You three wanted to be with your long time crushes. Well, how about I grant you that wish with a wedding?"
The three girls' eyes widen in surprise. "Really!? You'd do that for us~?"
"Just get inside there, go change into wedding dresses and you're crushes will be right there waiting for you~" BB gestures toward a large wardrobe closet that has three wedding gowns with long bridal veils.
"Oh, this is perfect!" Ran cheers. "A wedding…here…on the BB channel? How can this day get any better~?"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Hanako urges. "We've got no time to lose!"
They rush toward the wardrobe closet to grab their gowns and head into a fitting room BB also brought out.
"Be sure to cover your faces with the veils!" BB calls.
"Huh? Why?" Hanako asks.
"It'll be more fun that way. Your crushes will flip those veils over to see your beautiful faces once the kissing part comes into play!" BB answers.
"Got it!" The trio of girls say.
About 10 minutes later, they come out of the fitting room and through the veils, they see their long time crushes. Hiro for Ran, Kei for Hanako and Akira for Kiyomi. And to their surprise, the whole room changed into a chapel and BB steps up to the front. The camera is still rolling. The three girls approach their crushes and bashfully giggle.
"Wow!" Hiro says. "You are stunning."
"You can say that again," Kei says as he approaches Hanako. "I can't wait to see that beautiful smile on your face."
"Weird to hold a wedding this soon, but I don't care," Akira says as he takes Kiyomi's hand. "This will be a dream come true."
BB gestures all of them to come forward and she clears her throat. "We've gathered here today…to bond these couples as one. Hiro-kun and Ran-chan, Kei-kun and Hanako-chan and finally, Akira-kun and Kiyomi-chan." She looks up at the camera. "And to all you viewers out there, this wedding will be a moment nobody shall forget! It's time to make these wishes come true." She turns back toward the couples. "Do you…Akira-kun, Hiro-kun and Kei-kun….take your beloveds as your wives? To have and to hold…in sickness and in health…until death…do you part?"
"We do," the men chorus.
"And do you…Hanako-chan, Kiyomi-chan and Ran-chan…take your beloveds as your wedded husbands? To have and to hold…in sickness and in health…until death do you part?"
"We do!" the girls chorus.
"Then I pronounce you…" she takes out her wand and lightly taps the podium. "Husbands and wives. You may now kiss the brides~"
The guys start to flip the veils to give them a kiss, but their smiling faces quickly change into a terrified expressions and back away a few steps.
"Wh-wh-what is that!?" Kei cries.
"Y-yeah….I never expected to see such hideous faces…!" Hiro says.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kiyomi asks.
"I…I can't look a face that looks like….a zombie!" Akira shouts. "How can we marry someone like those!?"
"What!?" Hanako looks around for a mirror and she finds one hanging on the wall.
She shrieks at the hideous sight of herself. Her face is now wrinkly and dirty, like she hasn't bathed in a month. "No way! I never looked like that earlier!"
"Me neither!" Kiyomi and Ran look at each other and see their zombie-like faces. "Noooo! Whyyy!? Why did our faces change!?"
It is then that they hear BB's laugh.
"Hahahaha! You guys haven't realized it, but I know your secret~" she says. "You three are beautiful and cool on the outside, but you never, ever show your true selves. Meaning, you have an ugly side to your personalities. And that included bullying the weak."
"Wha….what are you talking about!?" Kiyomi shouts.
"Oh, so you are going to play dumb~?" BB says as she waves her wand. A projector appears and it flashes toward a large white wall. It then shows several photos of the three girls bullying Sakura.
"Wh-who took those pictures!?" Hanako cries.
"Doesn't matter," BB says. "The point is: you three don't deserve a life if you keep living like this. Sakura's life was bad enough until you girls made it worse. All because you are all high and mighty."
Ran steps forward. "Change us back! Right now, you witch!"
"Hahaha! You think I'M a witch, look at yourselves~" BB summons a cup of water in her hand. "You are ALL are known as Wicked Witches of the West. And you shall be treated as such~"
She throws the water at each of their faces and the girls begin to slowly melt away.
"We're melting! HEEEELP!" Kiyomi cries.
"No one's coming to help you~" BB says as she steps toward their melting bodies. "Your crushes have left and you are all alone. How does that feel to be humiliated…like what you did to Sakura~?"
"We're sorry! And we apologize deeply to Sakura as well!" Kiyomi says.
"Yeah! Please forgive us Sakura!" Ran cries.
"Change us back! We apologized, okay!?" Hanako says. "Doesn't that help?"
"No," BB closes her eyes and puts a hand on her hip. "In fact, you three have done it so many times it's hard to trust any of you. You might as well slowly melt away as you think about what you've done…regretting every single bad thing you did to Sakura. And probably many other innocent girls you've bullied in the past."
"Y-you think doing this to us is going to make you feel better!?" Kiyomi shouts. "What about you!? You act all high and mighty yourself just now! Think about that!"
"I'm just doing what Sakura wanted," BB flips her hair. "She deserves a better life and it shall NOT have you three included ever again. Have fun in Hell~"
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" At last, the three girls are nothing but big puddles.
BB scoops up the liquid and pours it into a bucket. She then dumps it into a toilet and flushes it all away. She snaps her fingers and the whole room turns back into her lovely web-show room with pink lights all around her.
"Mission complete~" BB turns toward the camera. "Oh! I'm so sorry, BB Channel Viewers! Sorry you had to see all of that. But these girls had it coming! Their wishes came true…as well as smashed. Be careful what you wish for, everyone! That's the lesson here. Well…I shall be sighing off for the day. Love y'all~!"
She winks and then turns the camera off. She then plops onto her chair and taps her palm with the tip of her wand.
"The job is done, my dear Sakura," BB says. "Sure my viewers would see this as horrifying, but once they think about it, they'll realize what the girls did to you was even more horrifying. All from the power of BB~"
A/N: So…I tried my best on BB's personality. Not really sure if it's going too far or not, but that's all I can think of. Oh, and…I was also thinking of Sakura and BB being two sides of the same coin, so to speak. I kinda like that actually. Hope you enjoyed this one.
Have a nice day.
