Chapter 7: Every end is a new beginning...
The "Kaorin" creature chuckled in the woods as it watched the humans play in Chiyo's front yard like little children. They knew something she knew, which wasn't going to trick her or them because they both knew it. That was that waking Kaorin up would stop the projection of her soul. However, the "Kaorin" creature knew something they didn't know... She was only Kaorin's soul because Kaorin's soul was her. But thanks to her recent prey, Tomo's soul, Yomi's soul, and Sakaki's soul were also her. And even once none of them were her due to Chiyo's action that caused her to lose grip of them, the twisted misery and broken heart of the real Kaorin were still her. She wouldn't go away until all these things were eliminated. Now that she had turned back into a solid form, the creature crept behind Chiyo's house.
Yomi rolled up a ball of snow. "Heads up, Chiyo-chan!" Yomi raised a snowball over her shoulder and suddenly felt something cold on the back of her head. The cold thing slid down the back of her neck. She angrily turned around to find Tomo and Osaka standing a good distance behind her. Osaka whistled an unsure and badly-pitched tune. Not noticing the suspicious tune, Yomi grabbed some snow and ran toward Tomo at full speed with her hands over her head. "TOMO-CHAAAN!" she yelled. She crashed the pile of snow over Tomo's head. Tomo brushed her head off and turned to Osaka, who was following bubble-like optical illusions with her eyes. "That was your fault!" she said. She gathered a pile of snow, threw it at Osaka, and ran off.
Osaka came back to reality. "Wha? Huh?" she asked herself. She looked over at Sakaki, whom the pile of snow seemed to have come from. She made a snowball and threw it at Sakaki, who dodged it, causing it to hit Chiyo. Chiyo fell over, got back up, and threw a snowball at Sakaki. The snowball was then intercepted by Kaorin (not surprisingly), who then threw a snowball that was aimed for Chiyo, missed, and hit Osaka, who thought the snowball was from Chiyo. "Hey, Chiyo-chan," said Osaka. A snowball hit Chiyo from behind. Chiyo turned around to find Osaka and Yomi. Osaka whistled again. "Look out, Yomi," called Chiyo, who then threw a snowball at Yomi. Yomi ran after Chiyo, who ran under a tree. Tomo called Yomi's name, which caused her to turn her head. Stupidly, she continued running, and ran into a tree. However, the impact caused the branch to break off before Yomi noticed it was a branch. She turned away from Chiyo and looked at Tomo, who was laughing at her stupidity. She picked up some snow and ran towards her at full speed. When she got to Tomo, she double-chopped her on the head with her hand covered in snow.
"Hey, everyone," said Chiyo. "I'm going to go get a drink." She walked into the house and got a glass out of the cupboard. She turned the purifier on and ran the water while holding her glass under it, but what came out was not what she had expected. She had expected water. She got thick, black liquid. She figured that the purifier was extremely dirty on the inside, poured out the disgusting liquid, and turned the purifier off. She still got black liquid. She turned off the water, took off the tap, and looked dow n the pipe, in which she had cleverly had mirrors installed to angle her line of sight to the water source. On the other side, she saw something strange that she did not expect. She saw a doll-like figure resembling Kaorin with buttons for eyes and a demonic smile. Her right hand was in her left hand and was not attached to her body. She was holding her right arm over the water source, bleeding black blood into it. She peered down the hole and waved her disembodied right hand at Chiyo. Chiyo screamed, pulled her head away from the pipe, and stuck a marble in it to plug it up. She ran the water. On the other side of the pipe, black blood squirted in the Kaorin-like creature's face. Chiyo backed away from the pipe. "I... I..." she stammered. "I... think I'll have juice."
Chiyo opened the fridge and saw that it was on fire on the inside. The flames cleared away to reveal blackness. She peered into the blackness and saw the flames begin to regroup into a pattern that spelled out "K-A-O-R-I-N." She backed away and slowly closed the fridge. "You can get water from ice melting in your mouth, too..." she muttered in a frightened manner. She opened the freezer, but as soon as she did, the freezer exploded in her face, leaving a dark pattern of charcoal spelling out "K-A-O-R-I-N" on her face. Chiyo coughed, causing the charcoal to fall off. It was only then that she decided that perhaps she wasn't all that thirsty. With that, she opened the door to go outside, but found that it was very dark outside. She peered into the darkness, but strangely enough, she could see nothing. She went over to her backpack to get out her emergency flashlight and pointed it out the door. When she turned it on, however, she could see nothing out the door. The light just sort of disappeared into the darkness. She turned it off and put it away, thoroughly perplexed. Curious, she reached into the darkness. She couldn't feel anything. She was reluctant to do this, but the only step left that she could think of in the scientific process to finding out what was in the darkness was to enter it. She shivered as she entered the darkness, which was significantly colder than her house. She continued through until she began to hear footsteps behind her. The footsteps behind her began to speed up. She began to move a bit faster, as well. Eventually, both she and the footsteps were running at full speed. Chiyo cried and shivered as the footsteps came closer. She looked behind her and saw the Kaorin-like creature, who was very close behind her and had her arms extended and a scythe in one hand. "Why'd this all happen?" she asked. "Why did we have to be the victims of this?! What does this mean?!" Just as she screamed this, everything got very bright around her. The brightness cleared away. She saw her house around her. She looked out the door. "Hey, Chiyo-chan!" yelled Tomo. "What took ya?"
Chiyo exited the house to once again play with her friends, a bit disappointed that she didn't find out what the meaning was of everything that was going on, but not bewildered in the least due to the previous occurrences that day. "The tap wasn't working," she said unsurely and slightly insincerely. Tomo looked her over carefully. "You're hiding something..." she said. "Hey, Tomo-chan," said Yomi. Tomo turned around just in time to get a face-full of snow. "Why, you-" Tomo began to call Yomi a bad name, but was interrupted by the entrance of more snow into the center of her face. "Hey!" she yelled. She bent over and gathered up some snow, which she began to throw, but dropped behind her back and onto Chiyo's head. "Oops," she said. "Sorry, Chiyo-chan." "That's okay," said Chiyo as she wiped the snow off her face. "But okay or not, you'll be sorry anyway in a few moments!" Chiyo laughed as she picked up a lump of snow and threw it at Tomo. Tomo laughed. Then, Chiyo and Tomo both gathered up snow in each hand. Chiyo threw hers at Kaorin and Osaka, and Tomo threw hers at Sakaki and Yomi. Soon enough, the snow party had returned to its original state of being an extreme fun-fest.
The dirty-faced Kaorin doll looked out to them in disgust from behind a tree. Ever since she was created from the misery Kaorin would have had if she had known she couldn't be with Sakaki, it had always disgusted her to see people having fun. As she hid behind the tree, she would have been thinking about what her plan was going to be, but she had already thought of it all very thoroughly... Oh, yes... She chuckled a purely malicious and morally disgusting laugh and walked through the outer house wall beside her, making a small splash as if the wall were made of nothing more than water. One of the girls would have to come in sooner or later...
Tomo got up from the ground. "My snow angel's the best!" she shouted. She walked over to Yomi's snow angel. "Yomi-san's is nice, too. It's nice and deep because she's so heavy!" Yomi growled, but resisted the urge to double-chop Tomo over the head. Sakaki got up and looked at hers. Chiyo, who had completed hers long before by making use of the movement patterns of snow, walked over to Sakaki to look at hers with her. It looked more like a hawk than an angel. "Wow, Sakaki-san," she said. "Is there anything about you that's not cool?" Sakaki simply shrugged. "Probably," she said. Kaorin suddenly jumped out of nowhere. "Sakaki-san is so cool! Again!" she squealed in sheer pleasure. Chiyo yelped. "You scared me!" she complained. "Again..." Suddenly, they all heard a mutter coming from Osaka, who was still making her snow angel. They looked over to find her sleeping on her unfinished creation. Shadows dropped over their faces as they paused for several seconds before turning slowly back to their conversation. "Hey," said Yomi. "I'll be right back. I'm gonna get something from my backpack." Yomi walked up to the front door of the mansion-like house and opened it. She unzipped her backpack and reached into it. "Where's my electric pen..." she thought as she contemplated the prank she would play on Osaka. She noticed that her backpack had become bottomless; she could fit her whole arm into it! Curious, she placed her other arm into it, followed by her head, and dove in...
OMFG BACKPACK DIVING?! Anyway, that's el fin de seccione siete (woot). R&R&BH/not. Or yeah. So what happened now?
