Chapter 4: One down...
"Hmm..." Chiyo looked at the words and displayed a look on her face that none of her friends had ever seen her have before. She pondered, sketched, and suddenly spoke as someone her friends didn't recognize. "Well, I've finished analyzing, but I can't say I've reached a conclusion," began Chiyo. "The possibilities as to what this could mean vary greatly, but I find one to be particularly relevant." Everyone looked down at Chiyo's paper. It was full of drawings and sloppy writing about what the phrase could mean, but one particular note was circled and underlined. Chiyo pointed to it. It read: "Keep asking, Osaka... Real intensely, now... (KaORin)" Chiyo explained it to her friends. "You see," she said, "the theory of subliminal externally psychological influence, or, in layman terms, mind control, has not been disproven. In fact, a number of various experiments ranging from triggering a spark of relation to complete relevance have led me to believe that it is close to being proven. This is what draws me to this idea that Kaorin is the subject of Osaka-san's dream. Earlier today, Sakaki-san said that she saw someone crying in a corner who looked like Kaorin, and she vanished when Sakaki-san approached her, suggesting that she was a hallucination. Also, I thought I saw Kaorin outside my window last night, but it seemed to have been a hallucination as well. Thus, I infer that our minds are somehow interconnected and are sharing the thought of Kaorin being involved in some action. However, this has not been proven and should be investigated further. Who knows? Perhaps this is just something random that Osaka-san dreamed up that has nothing to do with Kaorin." Everyone stared at Chiyo with their mouths open in awe. She giggled in embarrassment and covered her face in embarrassed laughter, unintentionally giving her friends the idea that she knew something they didn't, which she probably did.
Osaka broke the silence. "Hey, you know "subliminal" is a combination of "sub" and "liminal," right?" Tomo looked over to her. "Right." Osaka thought more. "Do the roots of the root 'liminal' have anything to do with the roots of the word 'lime?'" Yomi, Sakaki, Chiyo, and even Tadakichi stared at her for at least seven seconds. Yomi coughed in irritation. The doorbell rang. "Hey, guys," said Yomi. "The doorbell rang." Nobody paid any attention to her. "Hey," said Osaka, elbowing Tomo. "Where'd Yomi-san go off to?" Yomi coughed again. "I'm right here..." Tomo shrugged. "I dunno," she said. Yomi did a double-chop on Tomo, who didn't notice. Yomi sighed. She got up and went to the door to answer it. She answered it and saw Kaorin standing on the porch, hanging her head and letting her limbs fall into position. "Yo, Kaorin," she said. Kaorin continued to hang her head down and did not move nor speak. "Hey," said Yomi. "Somethin' wrong with you?" Kaorin slowly raised her head to reveal a sinister face with buttons for eyes and a toothy, bleeding grin from ear to ear. Yomi backed into the wall and shivered. "Yomi-san..." said Kaorin in a deep voice that was speaking two pitches at once. "Your soul..." she said as the lights faded in the room, "... is mine."
Yomi yelled as Kaorin reached out and touched her on the shoulder. "G... g..." Yomi tried to speak. "G-g-get away from m-me! I kn-know your weakness!" Kaorin placed her hands on her hips. "Oh, is that so?" Yomi shook. "Y-yes..." Kaorin laughed. "Well, then, what is it, fool?" Kaorin grabbed Yomi by the neck. "Tell me!" Yomi realized what she had done. "Oh, snap... I... don't... know... Wait!" Yomi had an idea. She took out a photo of Sakaki from their vacation at Chiyo's summer home and flashed it in front of Kaorin. Kaorin grabbed the photo, ripped it up, threw it to the floor, and put her arm around Yomi. "You know, Yomi-san..." she said. "Who needs Sakaki-san, anyway? You know, I've always liked you more... You can come with me... It's safe... I won't hurt you... I'll love you forever." Yomi's eyes went white with fear and surprise. "You liar!" she exclaimed strongly.
"What's wrong with you, Kaorin? You were just fine last I saw you!" Kaorin chuckled. "Kaorin doesn't exist anymore... Kaorin is gone... I am all that's left inside this body." Yomi's eyes widened. "And... And just who are you?!" Kaorin's head fell to one side as she lifted effortlessly off the ground and let all her limbs and her head fall into place. "I am your everything and nothing, Yomi-san." Yomi blinked. "My what?" Kaorin stretched her head, turned it around an entire three hundred and sixty degrees, and pulled it off effortlessly and carelessly. "I am your alpha and your omega. I am all your biggest secrets and all your most casual concepts, Yomi-san," said the disembodied head as Kaorin collapsed to the ground. A mysterious black powder filled the air. Yomi tried not to breathe it, but she had to breathe sooner or later, and she did. Yomi began to collapse with Kaorin's voice resonating in her head. "I... am... you..."
Some of the black powder got back into the unspilt internal organs of the dead Kaorin. The body got up from the floor, picked up its head, put it back on, and headed out the door, laughing like a maniac.
"So, would that make eggs a fruit?" asked Osaka. Kimura burst from seemingly nowhere. "BOTH FRUIT AND EGG ARE MEANT TO BE FERTILLIZED!!" Everyone backed up in surprise. "Excuse me, Kimura-sensei," said a mortified Chiyo. "Hurh?" Kimura turned toward Chiyo. Chiyo blushed a dark purple color from fear. "Umm," she said. "How'd you get in here?" Kimura blinked at her. "I used the front door," said Kimura. "How else?" Chiyo blinked back. "The front door?" she said. "I thought I closed and locked that!" Everyone looked over at the front door and saw that it was open.
Well, that be chapter 4. R&r&bh&blahblahblah&OMGKAORIN.
