Hello everybody it has been FOREVER since I updated don't worry I don't plan to stop the story I just had to wait till I got a new laptop since my old one broke but anyway here is the I hope long awaited Chapter 5.

Higurashi and all its characters belong to Ryukushi07. The only thing I own in this story is Kyoko.

"Why?" I asked myself "Why am I still hearing those sounds?"

"STOMP" "STOMP"

I picked up the blood soaked knife and pointed it into the darkness and yelled,

"What is it you want Oyashiro! I'm sorry I didn't mean to violate your shrine. Please forgive me." I dropped to the floor in a puddle of Rika's blood crying and begging for Oyashiro's forgiveness yet the stomping continued.

"Are you angry? Do you want more blood? I'll do anything if you just stop! I know I'll sacrifice them to you. The friends I've made. Will that be good enough the blood of my new friends!" I still sat on the ground and looked up to the sky laughing has warm tears ran down my face still. The pounding only got louder from there. I picked myself up and looked around for some clean robes or something so I could change out of this bloody dress, I found a nice white robe in the back of the shrine. I stripped my dress off and used it to wipe the blood off the other parts of my body till there was no red left on my skin. I put my arms in the robe and tied the sash together. Has I did this I stared at the hunks of flesh that were once a little girl's body.

"You know was there a way for me to avoid this outcome and have been happy with you and everyone else?" I asked the corpse but no response. I quickly rushed out of the Saiguden and locked it with the keys that Rika had on her. I ran home. When I got there I slowly slipped inside and went to my room where I threw off the robe and put on my pajamas. I lay in my bed has images of Rika's body rushed into my head has I questioned what I had done. I rose my hand above my head and it was coated in a crimson color has it dripped onto my bed. I blinked and realized it was just an illusion my hands were clean. I slowly felt my eyes droop has I fell asleep.

"No Kyoko why are you doing this to m-" The girl let out a screech of pain has I drove a knife into her hand.

"Scream for me louder!" I laughed has I continued to drive the knife into girl's body.

"Kyoko I thought you were my friend.." The girl stared into my eyes and I stared back and laughed

"Who would want to be friends with you? You monster." I spat in her face has I continued to let the knife glide through her flesh. Seeing her blood soaked skin and hearing her screams of pain excited me too much. This was it the point where I have reached true insanity.

My eyes shot open and I stared at my ceiling. It was all just a dream. I got up and put on a t-shirt and a skirt. As I walked out the door to go to school my mom yelled at me

"Kyoko aren't you going to have some breakfast." I answered coldly

"I'm not hungry." I walked out the door to go to school. When I arrived I saw Rena and Keiichi were already there. Mion was missing again. I met with them and we had small talk has we continued walking to school. We finally arrived and walked into the classroom. It was mildly happy except for one little girl Satoko. I walked straight to my seat already knowing the reason for her depression. Keiichi and Rena got up though to go see what's wrong with her.

"Hey Satoko what's wrong with you toady. Is Rika sick or something? Is that why she's not here?" Keiichi looked around and didn't see any sign of Rika.

"No…..she's not sick..she's missing." Satoko answered quietly has tears formed in her eyes. Rena looked very concerned

"What do you mean missing?" she asked and Satoko responded.

"When we went to bed last night she was there. But this morning when I woke up *sob* Rika was*sob* gone and didn't even leave a note or anything." Satoko broke down and cried while Keiichi grabbed and held her in his arms has she cried into his chest. He rubbed her head has the tears flowed from her eyes. I only looked has Satoko cried. I glared at them as they comforted the little girl. Eventually Chie walked in and had a depressed look on her face.

"Hello everyone. Since Mion and Rika are both out sick today I'll just start class alright so everyone please sit down." Ha out sick. I bet Mion is just at her house discussing stuff about Shion's death and Rika well she's in the shrine probably starting to rot. Class ended and I got up to head home when Keiichi walked over to me.

"Hey Kyoko would you like to walk home with us?"

"Sure." I answered "Do you know what the village is going to do about Rika's sudden disappearance after the festival?" I asked them has we walked home. They told me to be quiet has Satoko was mwalking with us because she was going to stay at Rena's for now due to her not wanting to be alone. We walked all the way to Rena's and said goodbye to the two. After that it was only me and Keiichi has we walked home.

"Keiichi I'm sorry for yelling at you before."

"Oh its fine. I'm sorry for patting you when you were uncomfortably."

"No it's not that. I actually really enjoy it when you rub my head. Would you rub it right now?" I looked at him and he put his hand on my head and petted it roughly like always. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I knew what this feeling was in my heart. I love him, I love Keiichi. But who cares because who could ever love a monster like me. Especially when I have a need for bloodshed again.
