The Cutter of the Red Thread

by Kiri Komori

Matoi will stop at nothing to be Nozomu's lover, whatever it takes. Only one girl fails to comply, which brings about a thread of epic proportions. Rated T for violence and other content. It's mostly fights or dark outlines.

-The Cutter of the Red Thread-

Matoi Tsunetsuki hoped for a long time that she could find love. She always believed invisible red threads attach to the person you were destined to be with. When more than one thread was there, two people were battling for their partner's love. Matoi knew that rule of battle quite well. She made sure to find out if the man would be her soul mate.

As usual, another boyfriend had not proven worthy of Matoi. His name was Takashi. Matoi stayed with Takashi long after they broke up, just to see if the fire of their "romance" could rekindle. She was arrested for stalking numerous times, but she only thought of it as "Deep Love". On her last attempt, she burst into Takashi's house. Ready to call the police, Nozomu Itoshiki comes through the window like a breeze in the spring air. The one sentence that had made Matoi's decision final was, "If you don't mind me as your partner, I will die with you anytime."

This time, Matoi thought, will be my red thread.
