Gou regained consciousness next day. 'Oh what happened?' Gou slowly gets up feeling sore, heavy, and very nauseous. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

"What the hell? I've been out for that long! Okay Gou, I was just tired and just passed out on the floor. Yeah that's it." She said to herself, trying to calm herself. Then, her cell phone starts to ring. She looks at the collar ID and saw that it was Bo.

"Bo?" Gou answers.

"Hey Gou, I just have a few questions I have to ask you. Is that okay?" Bo asks.

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Did you hurt anyone before you were cursed?"

"No."

"Do you know someone who doesn't like you?"

"No." Then, Gou started to have an excruciating pain in lower abdomen.

"Did you have any strange markings anywhere on your body?"

"No." Gou said trying to hide her pain. Bo doesn't realize it and continues to question her

"Ate or drink anything strange?"

"No, I don't recall." Gou stretches a little to see if would settle. It started to hurt even more.

"Well that's all I wanted to know. Thank you. See you tomorrow." Bo says and hangs up. Gou tries to get up but fails. She rolls over onto her back in pain.

"Ahh!" She yells in pain. The burning in her wrists came back. Some parts of her skin became red and itchy. She began to lose sight and it became hard to keep her eyes open. Everything around her was becoming red. 'Red…all I see…is red.' Then she passed out again.

It was the next day and Bo was excited for the new day. 'Wow, I never been so excited for school before. Maybe it's because I actually have a friend now.' She thought.

"Bo, you're going to be late for school!" a woman shouted.

"I'm going, I'm going!" Bo replies as she rushes down the hallway.

"Have a good day at school Hun." said a woman with short light brown hair who was waiting at the door.

"Thanks aunty, I'll try." Bo responds.

"Oh by the way, the rapist that we caught couple days ago, died last night." Her aunt said to her.

"What?" Bo asked surprised of this sudden news.

"When we brought him, he was just some mindless vessel. Didn't talk nor move the entire time he was at the station. So we got him checked and discovered that his mind is totally gone. The station was sending him to an asylum on the outskirts of Tokyo, but when they got there, he passed away."

"Do they know how he died?"

"Apparently he stopped breathing during the car ride to the asylum." Her sighs in disappointment. "Do you think it has to do with something…you know… supernatural? I mean, being mindless and stops breathing suddenly, kinda shouts unusual!"

"I don't know, I have to look in the books after school." Bo looks at the clock and saw that she was going to be late for school. "Oh man, I got to go! Bye aunty!" Bo says to her aunt and rushes out of the house.

Bo gets to school on time, out of breathe. She looks for Gou in the back of the room, but she wasn't there. 'Where's Gou? She's usually here before me.' She wondered. Bo takes her seat, preparing for class. Suddenly the classroom door opens, revealing Gou in the doorway.

Gou's appearance changed. Her hair wasn't in her daily ponytail. Her hair was down and a bit messy. Her white shirt was out and not buttoned all the way, showing a lot of cleavage. Gou had so much of perfume on like she literally bathed in it. But, the most disturbing was that her eyes were more red than usual. Bo tilts her head, curious of what happened to Gou. 'Gou looks like a slut. What the fuck happened? What's wrong with her eyes?' Bo wondered.

"Hey." Bo calls to her. Gou ignores her and walks over to her desk. All the boys in the room watched her walking down the aisle in awe on how pretty she was.

"Wow Gou became super hot!" said one of the boys.

"I know right." replied another.

"Wow Gou you look pretty." complemented one of her friends.

"Wouldn't the teachers get mad?" asked the other friend.

"Let them." Gou replies. Her voice became smooth as velvet. 'Okay, something is totally not right.' Bo thought as she watches Gou.

"Huh? Where am I?" Gou asks herself as she wakes up in a black room. She sees two windows in front of her. She gets and slowly approaches the windows. Outside the windows was her refection in a small mirror. She saw her hair and uniform was a mess. "What the hell? Why am I dressed like that!?" screamed Gou. She tries to move her limbs to fix her hair but it isn't working. "I can't move anything! Ugh, it's dark in here, I look like a whore, just what the fuck!?" She watched her own self flirting with other boys in her class. She passed notes and made some sexual comments to them throughout the morning. Then, sensei notices Gou's uniform.

"Gou what is with your uniform?" asked sensei.

"It's just very hot sensei~"Gou whines as fans herself with some paper.

"I don't care, go to the bathroom and fix your uniform." He commands her. Gou gets up slowly, giving the teacher a little wink face as she leaves the room. It made him turn a little pink.

"O-Okay, class do problems 1-30." He commands.

It was finally lunch and Gou skipped out on class the whole morning after she was told to go to the bathroom to fix her uniform. Bo looked for to knock some sense into her. 'What the fuck happened? How the fuck does a nice, innocent girl become a whore in just a few days? Is it connected to the attack days ago?' Bo thought as she wondered what was happening to her friend. Then, she sees her outside with some guy with brown hair who was tall as a tree.

"Thanks for eating with me Makoto. " she thanked him with a smile. Makoto turns pink at the sight of her smile,

"N-No problem." He replies to her. Gou smiles and touches his lap lightly. Makoto jumps a little from this sudden, unusual gesture. She starts to rub his lap slowly and lightly.

"I really do appreciate it. Is there…anything I can do to pay you back?" Gou asks in a sexy voice. Makoto turns red and turns away.

"Y-You don't have to…" he says but trails off because of how nice it felt when Gou rubbed his lap. Gou slid her hand up higher to his inner thigh. "G-G-Gou w-what are doing?!"

"Oh Makoto…" Gou says as she kisses his neck. "Let me do this for you." She said as slowly movers her hand towards to the center of his pants. Makoto twitches and sifts on the bench.

"G-Gou…not here…" He said breathlessly.

"You're right…maybe later." Gou whispers into his ear and takes her hand off him. "I'll call you sometime." she said in a husky voice. She gets up from the bench and walks away. She winks at him as turns away.

"Makoto-senpai, please notice that it's not me!" Gou screams as she looks through the window.

"Oh honey, nobody is going to hear you." A woman voice says to her.

"Who's there?" Gou questions the mysterious voice.

"Does that really matter sweetie? I mean, this body isn't going be yours anymore anyway. Why even bother asking a rather ridiculous question." said the voice.

"What does that mean!?"

"It means what it means sugar. So, just sit back, relax, and let me take over." The voice hisses. Gou felt sudden stings all over her body. Gou starts to scream and pound on the wall, trying to get herself out of the dark room. She sinks down onto the ground, in defeat. Then, she felt excruciating pain on her right leg. She looks down and sees that right leg is disappearing.

"Somebody, please help me!" Gou cries her heart out. But, even though she tried so hard, it wasn't working. Pain in her head came back.

"Red…all I see…is red…" she said to herself, scared of what was happening to her as her sight was becoming deep shade of red.
