Ryou walked into the Bakura household and looked up the stairs.
"Arianna, you up there?" He asked as he walked up the stairs. "Arianna," He opened the door and looked in. Arianna was holding her bandaged hand up to the ceiling. She looked over and tried to sit up but was pushed back down by Ryou.
"Thanks for taking care of me." She smiled sadly.
"It's fine. Watanagashi Matsuri…a day from now?" Ryou replied. She nodded sadly. Ryou sat in the bed with her. She turned and laid her head in his lap.
"Onii-chan, I'm scared." She whispered.
"Why?"
"I don't want one of my friends to go."
"I'm pretty sure it'll be someone evil."
"That's what I hope." She looked up at Ryou. Ryou smiled and hugged her. "You'd better go. Ari-Chan'll be home in a little bit and she doesn't take too much to you."
"She's just jealous."
"I'm pretty sure Bakura-san's jealous that you're here with me." Arianna smiled and hugged him.
"Want me to come back tomorrow?" She shook her head no.
"Once more, Ari-Chan will be not too happy." Arianna said and kissed Ryou on the cheek. She handed him a wrapped package. "I made you some ceremonial Watanagashi clothes. Only the boys are allowed to wear it because it's considered sacred. And yes, it's a kimono," she smiled.
"I don't care. I'll wear it if you want me to." Ryou blushed.
"Pwease," She said, sticking out her bottom lip. Ryou bowed and excused himself. "Bye, nii-san!" She cried to him.
"Bye, imouto-chan." Ryou shut the door behind him.

Aichi hissed and tightened her fingers around her hatchet's blade. "No one touches my Ryou-kun." She said and her eyes flashed cat slit pupils and blood dripped down her hand. "Arianna, I'm not sorry about what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Tomorrow, you die…" and she looked at the sky before bursting in maniacal laughter. Ryou looked up in shock and saw no one. "Ryou-kun, we will be together. I promise Ra that." She gave another maniacal laugh and disappeared as Ryou shielded his eyes against the bright sun.
-
"Ryou, welcome back!" Bakura smiled and kissed him on the lips softly. "Where were you after school? We waited for you!"
"I'm sorry. I was with Arianna…" He said truthfully. Bakura nodded but his narrowed eyes told Ryou that he didn't believe him. "Her hand…"
"I didn't say anything!"
"You don't believe me whenever I go some-"
Bakura walked up to Ryou.
"I do believe you. We need to leave tonight. Before Watanagashi." Bakura whispered as Ryou took his shoes off.
"I know, but somehow, I have this feeling that Aichi…is a killer…" Ryou whispered.
Bakura smirked. "Oh, whatever gave you that idea." He said sarcastically but then turned serious. "Serious, Ryou, I think she's already killed that Hantachou kid. She admitted to killing someone, and Arianna had to pay for it. I don't think she's sane."
"I know."Ryou said and walked into the living room. Bakura followed and sat beside him and across from Ari.
"Hihihihihihi~ Ake-Chan, what am I to do?" Yuuki asked, as she stood with three cake boxes in her hands.
"Who was late?" Akemi replied.
"Ryou," Yuuki replied.
"Ryou-kun!" Aichi cried and hugged him.
"Give him one box." Akemi smiled and took one. "All that you have to do, for you who received it, is tell me which one was made by Aichi and Yuuki. And if you don't, we'll have another penalty game." Akemi smiled and closed one of her crimson eyes. "Kay?" She asked.
"Kay," everyone replied. Akemi handed out the boxes. Ryou got two, one for him and another for Arianna, and Yuugi got one.
"Just tell us tomorrow at club activities, kay?" And with that, Yuuki and Akemi were gone.
"Well, I better go check on my Hikari-chan." Ari said and disappeared into the darkness.
Ryou and Bakura walked back to the front door to put their shoes back on. "Where were you today?" Aichi asked darkly.
"With Arianna," He replied. Aichi tightened her grip and Bakura backed away from Ryou.
"I don't like you hanging out with her. She's going to die someday and she won't take you with her."
"Aichi what are you-"
"I mean, you love me right? You try not to but you do. You don't because you're scared. Why do you wish to hurt me, Ryou-kun?"
"Aichi-" Ryou started again but her head snapped towards him, her eyes in their cat slit form.
"You do you me, right? Ryou-kun?" She reached for her cleaver with one hand around Ryou's waist. She pulled it out and smiled psychopathically at him. "Right? Ryou-kun?"
"Ye-yeah," He replied. She pulled away and stepped backwards. She smiled and made a cute little 'hm' sound and turned around.
"Then let's go. It's cold outside anyway." She smiled and skipped off to the living room. Ryou and Bakura shot each other a frightened look and both ran out of the house.
"Okay, she is a murderer." Ryou said as they jogged to the shared house of them, Rika and Satoko.
"Told ya," Bakura smirked and they entered the house. "Oh my Ra!" He covered his mouth and nose as an awful stench filled his nose. Blood was splattered on the wall and a trail of blood was on the floor. Ryou and Bakura followed it and found Satoko lying on the floor, her mouth locked into an eternal scream. Her eyes were bulging out of her head and tears stained her bloodied cheeks. Her arms were above her head and there was a knife sticking out of her heart.
"Satoko!" Ryou cried and buried his face in Bakura's shirt. There was a creak upstairs and both boys turned to the stairs. There was a laugh and then another laugh, and another till there was four echoing laughs. Makila stepped out and Makira followed her. They weren't laughing but ran down the stairs.
"Run," Makila said and collapsed as Ryou and Bakura saw knifes being thrown at her. "Runaway. Hurry," She said and fell to the ground, unable to move. Makira pulled out the knifes while dodging some aimed for herself. She hoisted Makila onto her back and led Bakura and Ryou out to the forest.
"Take her. Go get help. Just go. It's Watanagashi Madness. You need to run." Makira said and tossed them her gun. "GO!" She cried and they took off, Makila riding on Bakura's back. Makila was bleeding and as soon as Ryou found a cave, they dove for it.
Ryou pulled his pack off and opened it up. There were the cakes for Arianna and him and a first aid kit. Bakura pulled off Makila's top and Ryou proceed to bandage it up. He wrapped the gauze around her whole torso and upwards. She coughed and opened her eyes.
"I'm scared for Arianna." She whispered. "She'll die if we don't get to her." She whispered. Ryou looked at her and nodded.
"I know." And with that, he was gone. He ran to Arianna's house and with the key he had gotten, opened the door. He bounded up the stairs and picked up Arianna.
"Ryou-Chan, what's going on?" She asked even though she knew the answer.
"Watanagashi Madness," He replied. She stood up and grabbed a backpack.
"Take it with us." She said and disappeared into the darkness with Ryou.
-
Bakura opened the pack and pulled out a water bottle. He gently dabbed it over Makila's swelling ankle. She hissed in pure pleasure at the sensation.
"Sorry," He whispered.
"Daijoubou," She smiled. Ryou and Arianna just then ran in and Makila and Bakura pulled away.
"I know I shouldn't be doing this but, Ryou, look! Bakura and Makila are in wuv!" Arianna smiled and Makila smacked her upside the head.
"Shut up," Makila snarled but a blush and smile remained on her lips. The sky began to darken and everyone shot looks at one another.
"I guess, we'll have to camp out here." Ryou said. Makila and Arianna nodded and hugged each other and the boys in the cave.
"Aishiteru, minna-san," Everyone whispered to everyone. Arianna and Makila were asleep with Arianna's arms wrapped around Makila's shoulders. Ryou and Bakura fell asleep next to one another with Bakura's arms wrapped around Ryou's neck. Outside, murders continued with mayhem and inside, peaceful dreams and slumber occurred.
