Yay, a new chapter! Anyway this chapter 2 has spoilers so anyone who didn't finish the Anime or visual novel (Demon voice) you have been warned! ...ah-hem, anyway enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 2:Explanations

After breakfast was done, the dinning room was cleaned and the dishes were washed and put away. We all went out into the living room and sat on the couch, though Hanyu was doing more floating then sitting. I couldn't help but wonder how I was going to tell Kim about this whole thing. There were two possible ways she would react to this. One: she would probably freak out or two: she'd slap me into next week for being stupid enough to listen to Antoine, either way you look at it ...I was in some deep shit.

I sighed and rubbed my temple as I felt yet another migraine coming on, Kim's going to kick my ass I just know she is.

"Soo~ what do you guys want to do?" Antoine asked, sitting on the arm of the chair looking bored.

"I don't know, maybe we could watch TV or something," I said.

Antoine looked in thought for a moment. "Hmm~, what to do, what to do ...hey Rika, Hanyu, have you two ever played video games before?"

Rika and Hanyu gave him a look of confusion. "...Video games?"

"Yeah, ya know, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, games like that?"

I slapped my forehead at my little brothers stupidity, he really didn't expect a Anime character from nineteen-eighty three to know about Xbox did he? "Antoine, they're from the the year nineteen-eighty three, how the hell would they knew about video game consoles?"

"Oh yeah, you do have a point," Antoine then looked back at Rika, "well, Rika, have you have you ever been to an arcade before?"

Rika nodded smiling, "Mii~ yes I have, it was very fun, though I've only been there a few times! Mi-chan took the enter club there sometime ago in Okinomiya."

"That's great, then you can just think of video games as an arcade to play at home," Antoine said, smiling.

"So it's an arcade for the house? I've never heard of that before," Hanyu said, thoughtfully.

"But before we get to all the fun and games, we need to have a serious talk," I said, standing up looking at both Hanyu and Rika. It was about time I told them the truth.

Antoine looked at me with one of his rare serious expressions, "So your going to tell them now?"

I nodded, "Yeah, even if I didn't, they're bound to find out the truth sooner or later."

Hanyu looked between the both of us in confusion. "Auauau~ wait I don't understand what truth, is it something bad?"

"Mii~ yes I'm confused also, is there something wrong with me and Hanyu being here?" Rika asked, tilting her head to the side slightly. Damn could this girl get any cuter!

"Yes, in a way it is bad that your here, and I'm not talkin' about my house, I'm talking about my world in general," I could see Rika about to ask something, but I raised my hand signaling her to stop. "Just let me talk Rika, and please take this seriously, for now no more 'Mii' or 'Nipaa' or anything else cute, I want to talk to you Rika. The real you."

I could tell by the look on her face that she was surprised about me knowing her true personality, it didn't long for Rika's cuteness to disappear. Only to be replaced with the maturity and the voice of an adult.

"So you saw passed my act ...huh, I must admit I'm impressed, no ones ever done that before," Rika said, starring at me intensely.

"That because I know a lot about you, Rika." I said smirking, it was weird hearing a grown woman's voice coming out of a little girls body, but she was mentally over one-hundred years old. "Look, I know you have a lot of questions and I willing to answer them but just let me speak, alright."

Rika nodded and leaned back on the couch, "fine, go ahead and say what you want to say, Kevin-San."

"Thank you …hmm, now where do I start?" I thought for a moment, then snapped my fingers. "Okay, well Rika, Hanyu ...the truth is that in this world you guys are nothin' but characters from a visual novel, Anime and Manga called: Higurashi no naku koro ni, ...to put it bluntly. You two are considered fake here."

I paused for a moment to give them both time to take this all of what I just said in, though Rika didn't seem to believe me at first.

"What do you mean? Me and Hanyu aren't fake, we're just as real as you are!" Rika said, disbelief written in her voice.

Hanyu nodded agreeing with the blue haired miko, "Rika's right, we're not fake, I have a hard time believing you, Kevin-San, it one thing to be in a world totally different from ours. But, you expect me to believe that we were being watched the whole time we were fighting fate."

I sighed, I could understand how hard this was for them to believe, especially coming from someone they just met. But, I had to get them to believe me somehow, hmm? ...oh I know I'll show them my Manga! They'll have to believe me then!

I turned to to Antoine, smiling at my great idea, "Antoine, I want you to go into my room and get me two arcs from my Higurashi no naku koro ni Manga collection."

Antoine stood up and nodded. "Alright, but ...um, which ones?"

"Well I was going to just let you get anyone, but now that you've said something get me, Onikakushi-hen and Watanagashi-hen."

"Uh, can ya say that in English so I actually know which ones to get?"

I looked at Antoine and sighed. "Just get me, Abducted by demons chapter and Cotton drifting chapter."

"Gotcha~ I'll be right back," Antoine turned and ran up stairs.

I turned back to the girls, who for right now, still didn't believe a thing I had just said. "So you two really don't believe me in the slightest?"

Rika looked up, glaring at me, "how could we, it's pretty hard to believe that people from another world watched me die over and over again."

"Well actually, we've only seen you dead or killed in every arc but one," I said, giving a sad chuckle, trying to lighten the mood.

"That doesn't help me feel any better!" I winced, as Rika yelled at me.

"Auauau~ Rika please calm down," Hanyu said to her, in a soft and gentle tone.

Rika closed her eyes and breathed in, then exhaled slowly. "I'm okay now Hanyu. I just got a little mad that all." She then opened her eyes and looked up at me, "I'm sorry for yelling at you, Kevin-San. I didn't mean to."

I gave her a small smile and sat back on the couch next to her. "It's okay, this is a lot for you to take in so part of me expected you to be angry. So don't sweat it, alright."

We sat in silents, after a minute or two Antoine came back down stairs holding the four Manga books in one hand and his kitten, Bernkastle, in the other.

"Here I've got the books," he said sitting them on my lap. He then held up his cat, showing it to the girls. "Hanyu, Rika. I'd like you to meet my cat, Bernkastle."

Rika smiled, as she petted the cat in his arms. "She a cute one, No doubt you named her after the German winery, am I correct?"

"Who'd ya know that?" Antoine asked, raising an eyebrow.

Rika smirked, "it was just a guess."

Bernkastle looked at Rika, then jumped onto her lap and curled up into a ball letting Rika continue to pet her.

I laughed a little and looked at Antoine. "Wow, only a few seconds after meeting Rika, and she already likes her better then you."

"Psst, please!" Antoine plopped down on the couch next to me.

I rolled my eyes and let out a deep breath, held the book out to Rika. "Here read this, it's all the proof you'll need."

Rika looked at me, then down at the book and took it slowly, "Abducted by demons chapter?" She looked at the cover, which had a picture of Rena on it smiling, holding her hooked cleaver behind her. "Is-is this really Rena?"

I nodded,"Yeah it is, everything I've told you is the complete and honest trust. Just read that and see for yourself."

She nodded and opened the Manga to the first page, which had a picture of her, Rena, Satoko and Mion smiling, all of them wearing the Angle-Mort uniform. I saw a small smile form on her face as she turned to the next page, the table of contents and She reads them out loud.

"Hinamizawa village, Night of drifting cotton, Doubt..."

She turned to the next page and started reading, Hanyu came over and floated over her shoulder reading it also. Though, I didn't really think I needed the other three books but she might want to read those too.

It took Rika and Hanyu sixteen minutes to read the first Manga of Onikakushi-hen, Rika closed it and handed me back the book. From the look on her face she looked like she was in deep thought, and Hanyu hadn't said anything for a while either …I was actually starting to get kinda worried.

"Hey, you both alright?" I asked.

Rika looked up at me and nodded, "yes I'm fine. I'm just letting this all sink in for a moment."

Hanyu turned to me with a serious look on her face, "Kevin-San, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, ask away."

"We believe what you said now. But, if you knew about us, do you also know who's the one killing Rika?"

I felt a lump form in my throat, she wanted to about Rika's killer, was it even good to tell her? It could mess up the enter story if I do. Should I tell them or not? I was then knocked out of my thoughts when I heard Rika's voice.

"Kevin," I turned to Rika, who had a hopeful look her face. "Do you know who's killing me?"

I nodded my head slowly, "yes I do, but I can't tell you who it is."

"Brother ya might as will tell her." Antoine said seriously, petting Bernkastle ,who he had taken from Rika moments ago, "even if you don't she'll to find out later, either by asking someone on the street or looking it up on Google."

I couldn't help but nod in agreement with him, I didn't want to admit it but he had a point. "Fine I'll tell you. but, you'll be surprised who it is."

"Who is it?"

I sighed and answered her, "i-it's Takano …Takano Miyo."

Rika gave me a look of surprise and shock. "T-Takano Miyo, the nurse? The same Takano Miyo who dies in every world on the night of the Watanagashi festival?"

"Yep, that's the one! But the thing is she never dies, she sorta fakes her death by replacing herself with a fake corpse."

"And what about Tomitake, Does he fake his death too?"

"No, Takano killed him when he refused to help her massacre the village," I answered.

Rika rubbed her head in thought, "but why'd she kill me, what would she gain by taking my life away?"

"Well in order to find that out you need to know about Takano's life. You see Rika, Takano was the surname given to her by her adopted grandfather, Mifumi Takano, who was her dad's former professor but before that she was known as Tanashi Miyoko. her parents died in an unfortunate accident when she was young, I think she was younger then you actually, but anyway. The government had her sent to an orphanage. She and the children there were abused repeatedly, and eventually they try to escape. They are pursued, mostly because the orphanage gets government money based on the number of children they house."

"She evaded capture long enough to call her soon to be grandfather's number for help as her father had told her some time before his death. He saved and so she started her life with a new name: Takano Miyo. But, when Hifumi died he was humiliated and dissed by his superiors when he told them about the syndrome, It's because of this that she wants to become a god, she thinks that if she kills you and the village is destroyed then she and Hifumi will be written do in history and by being written in history, they'd become gods. Which is stupid but ...that's what she believes." I explained.

Rika looked up at me, sadness and anger written on her face. "I don't care what her childhood was like, that gave her no right to ruin mine! That doesn't give her the right to kill me!"

I pulled Rika into a one armed hug, trying to comfort her. "And I completely agree with you Rika, that doesn't justify her actions, but there's good news, your not in Hinamizawa anymore. You don't have to worry about dieing here, er ...well not as much as you had to in your world but still. Actually, I think you should stay here for a while. Take a break from fighting fate and think of a plan before you go back. That sound good to you."

Rika nodded and gave a sad smile. "Yeah, but where would I stay?"

I was about to answer but Ant' cut me off. "Where do ya think, with us of course!" Antoine said smiling. "You and Hanyu can use my room, and I'll sleep in Kevin's room, that's uh ...if you don't mind, Kev."

I shrugged, "I don't care, just keep my room clean and no touching my things without asking, alright?"

"Gotcha," Antione gave me a thumbs up then looked at both Rika and Hanyu. "Okay Girls, in order to get your mind off this whole killing business. I'll teach you the true joy in a child's life, video games! ...Lets go!" And with that he took Rika's hand and pulled her up stairs before she could protest.

"Auauau~! Antoine-San, don't pull Rika so hard!" Hanyu said, following them to my bedroom.

I sighed and started walking up the stairs after, now we only had one person to worry about telling ...my sister.

~ ~(Part2) ~ ~

We sat on my room watching Antoine hookup the Xbox 360, I sat on the end of the bed, Rika was sitting next to me and Hanyu floated over Rika. I looked over at my alarm clock, it said three-forty five pm, I was actually surprised because I didn't expect talking to Rika and Hanyu to last that long but , oh well, what can you do.

"Auauau~ Kevin-San, can I asked you something else?"

I looked at Hanyu and smiled, "sure whats up?"

"Can you tell me and Rika about your world? It would really help us to know about where we'll be staying."

"Alright sure, give me a minute." I got up, walked over and opened my dresser looking inside it. "Hmm? Let see, where is it? Ahh~ here it is," I dug deeper into my dresser and pulled out a rolled up world map, then I walked back over to Rika and Hanyu.

"Is that a map?" Rika asked curiously.

I sat on the bed and rolled the map out for them to see. "Yep, As you can see this is my world, we have all the continents from your world like Europe, Australia, Antarctica. We even have your home, Japan which is right here," I then pointed to Japan on the map. "But, right now we are here in North America, right here."

Rika nodded in understanding, "Where are we in America, what state and city?"

I turned it over to the back that held a map of the U.S and pointed where we were out on the map, "we're right here in the city of brotherly love Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."

Hanyu looked at me in amazement. "Auauau~ wow, that's half way around the world. We're no where near Hinamizawa!"

"Actually, there's no such thing as Hinamizawa here, the village your home is based off of is called: Shirakawa-go and the population is less Hinamizawas', around 1,864 if I remember correctly," I snapped my fingers when I finally remembered I forgot to tell them something, something really important."Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the year in my world is different to, it's not June, 1983. It's actually June, 2012."

"2012! So not only are we in another world, but we somehow ended up twenty-nine years in the future!" Rika said surprised.

I gave a nervous chuckle and nodded, "hehe, yep pretty much so ...uh, welcome to the future."

"Auauau~ twenty-nine years is a long time! It would have been different if we were in 1985 or even 1993 but 2012. that means we've missed out on a lot of things," Hanyu said timidly.

"Yeah that's true, but don't worry about it, I'll teach you everything I know, so don't sweat it. But, there's good news."

"What news?"

"This means you've survived way past, June, 1983."

"Well ...I guess you have a point," Rika replied calmly.

I smiled and gave her a small pat on the back, it was going to take Rika a lot of adjusting but I was sure she and Hanyu would fit right in here. I turned and faced the TV, Antoine walked over to my closet and took out all of my Xbox games and laid them on the floor.

"Okay, Rika, Hanyu this baby right here, is an Xbox 360," he said patting the game console. "All you have to do is put in one of these disks right here and you can play games." Antoine turned around and cut on the TV then he turned on the Xbox. "This big circle bottom right here in how you turn it off and on, and this button right here brings out the tray where you put the game disks, you can also watch DVDs on here too."

"What's a ...DVD?" Hanyu asked curiously.

"Oh it's ya know, like movies and stuff like that." Antoine answered, he then put out the games in front of Rika. "Sense your new to this, I'll give you the first turn ...what game do you want. We have Resident evil 5, Super Street Fighter 4, Silent hill: homecoming, Tekken 6, Surfs Up-"

"What's this game?" Rika asked interrupting him, pointing to the game on the left side of him.

Antoine looked over and smiled, picking it up, "Oh this is Left4dead 2, it's a really scary zombie game where you have to pick one of four characters who work together to survive a zombie apocalypse."

Rika nodded and took the game from him, looking at the back of the case. "I think I'll try playing this game."

"Auauau~ b-but Rika, he said that game was really scary," Hanyu whimpered.

"Oh stop being such a wuss, Hanyu. I'm sure this game isn't that scary."

Rika gave the game to Antoine, and he cut on the Xbox and put the disk in the tray. "Okay Rika, how you play this game is simple, though I'd rather you play the first game but too bad for you we don't have it anymore. Anyway, you press RT to shoot, you press B to reload..."

While Antoine told Rika the controls, I started pondering on what I should do when big sis got home, though it would probably be hard for her to believe that I wished an Anime character here by accident. But, it's not like this is the first time something freaky has happened in this house, like the time Grandma gave me that haunted doll. Yeah ...that didn't turn out well.

"-And that's pretty much it, now surviving is up to you Rika." Antoine said, giving a evil smile.

"Mii~ I'm only shooting zombies, how hard can it be," Rika said back to her cute and childish state. She went to campaign mode and picked Rochelle.

~~(a few hours later)~~

I smiled, Rika seemed to be really into the game, and she only died like four or five times which is way less then I did when I first played Left4dead 2. Right now, she was on the first part of Dark Carnival, which as of now she was being chased by a Tank.

"Rika, what are you doing shoot the Tank before it kills you!" Antoine yelled.

"Mii~ I'm trying but it won't die!" Rika switched her weapon from a combat shotgun to a Katana and cut the Tank about 6 times before it finally hit the ground dead. "Yay~ I killed the big mean zombie, pachi pachi~!" She said while clapping her hands.

"Finally! You almost died ya know and your healths in the red now," Antoine said.

"That's what the first aid kit is for silly," Rika said playfully.

"Auauau~ Rika you should probably try a bit harder so you don't die again."

I looked over at the clock, it said five-thirty pm. Oh crap I've gotta to start dinner! I got up off my bed and stretched my arms and legs I guess it's like they say 'time flies when your having fun'.

I started walking to the door when Antoine's voice stopped me. "Where you going, Kev?"

I turned to him and answered, "Well unlike you I've got to cook dinner."

"Why not just let Kim do that when she gets home?"

I smirked, "Because she'll be tired when she gets back, and besides Ant' have you ever tasted that disaster Kim calls cooking."

"Hahaha! Yeah I can't lie, her cooking is pretty horrible." He said laughing.

Rika passed the controller to Antoine, not bothering to pause her game, "how about I help you cook dinner, Kevin-San." She said walking over to me.

"But, don't you want to finish your game?" I asked.

"Mii~ not right now, I can always finish it later?"

"B-but your the guest," I stated. "And the guest is never supposed to help the host with cooking."

"But I really, really want to help, pretty please," She asked giving me puppy dog eyes. God why is this girl so cute!

I sighed and shrugged, "fine you can help. Just stop with the eyes."

"Yay!" Rika exclaimed as she took my hand and started dragging me out my room. "We're going to make the best dinner your sister has ever tasted, that's a promise. Nipaa~!"

"Hehe~ Yeah, I'm sure we will," I smiled as I was lead down the steps. When we got into the kitchen. I walked over to the cabinet and pulled out all of the bottled seasonings I was going to use for dinner tonight, I was thinking about making Jamaican curry chicken, rice, briskets, and cabbage. Hmm~ Yep, that sounds good to me. I laid to seasonings on the counter, then I looked back in the cabinet and took out a container full of unopened Jamaican curry power.

"Hey Rika, can you look in the bottom of the refrigerator and pass me that bag of chicken wings?" I asked, as I washed out one of the big iron pots in the sink.

"Sure, what did you plan on making?"

"Curry chicken, rice, briskest and cabbage." I answered.

Rika nodded and looked in the refrigerator, then came over to me holding the bag of chicken. "Here you go."

I smiled and took the bag."Thank you Rika."

I placed the chicken in the sink about to wash it off but before I did, I dug into my pocket and pulled a small red Mp3 player I got at the beginning of the month.

"Whats that?" Rika asked.

I held it out to her and answered, "this, Rika, is one of the greatest things ever made in the twenty-first century. An Mp4 player, it holds all types of things from music to photos and even videos."

"Mii~ But, how can all that fit into something so small?"

"Ya know what, I don't really know I've never thought of asking." I turned on the Mp4 player and handed it to her. "Put the ear phones it in your ear, that's how you listen to it."

"Okay," She said putting them in her ears.

I turned around and started cleaning the chicken off, Rika took the cabbage out the fridge and went over to the table, cutting it on the cutting broad while humming to the music. Yep, things were definitely going to get a lot more interesting around here, that's for sure.

Yes another chapter done and over with! So tell me, what do you think? Do you have Ideas? Did you like it or dislike it? Remember to review. Chapter 3 is coming out soon ~Peace~
