12:30 PM, In a room

She woke up and realized that she was wearing a crimson-colored kimono, with her hair elegantly held up as a tight bun with a chopstick with a beautifully carved patterns on the wood, and a cherry blossom tied to it.

Hikaru ran her fingers down from her hair to the back of her neck, when suddely she felt a cold hand holding hers. It was so cold she could even contrast the temperature of the hand and her surroundings, which was comfortably warm.
She shivered.
A voice came saying, "Hikari... I have been missing you so much..."
"I... I... I don't even know who you are...", Hikaru replied with fear uncontrollably visible in her voice.
"I love you so much, Hikari... I am so sorry about that day...", the voice said.
"What day?" Hikaru thought, " What happened at that day?"
The cold hand then tried to make Hikaru turned to him. His hand held Hikaru's hand tight, she could feel the coldness, instead of warmth.
She turned, and he looked almost like Max, but he was wearing the male Japanese traditional costume.

He smiled at Hikaru, "Oh, Hikari, please forgive me.", he said, as he pulled Hikaru closer to him.
Hikaru pushed him, "No... I can't... I'm in love with...", she stopped.
"With whom? I thought you promised me! Why? Why, Hikari? WHY did you lie to me?", he was furious, he took a hammer on the drawer near the bed.

He turned pale, his eyes became blue, lifeless, and bloodless.
Hikaru sat on the bed, quiet. Her grip tightened with the fold of blanket in her fist.
The chopstick that held her hair up neatly fell with a soft thud on the bed as the bell on it chimed, as if whispering.
Hikaru's eyes were wide, unable to find her voice, to explain to him everything.
"I... I...", Hikaru kept on tightening her grip of the sheet."What shall I do?" and "What should I say?" voices kept on ringing in her mind.
Finality, "I am Hikaru, Hikaru Sakamoto, not Hikari that you have loved. And I am so sorry, I'm in love with a guy called Max.", Hikaru's voice were softly mixed with an aggresive tone in it.

The ghost paused.

"I know, you have mistaken me for her. Or might be I WAS her, but I guess now you have to move on.", Hikaru told him, her dark brown eyes shone.
"I... Am sorry...", the ghost turned into its humanly form. "I am Maatsu Toshikoma... But I have to tell you, once you're in this house, you are cursed. You must find your way out by finding the person you love first."
"Cursed...", Hikaru whispered to herself. "Can you please explain to me about Hikari?"
"She has a very long hair, like yours. And her favorite kimono is the one that you are wearing now. Once I saw your dark brown eyes then I noticed it really wasn't her. She had white pair of eyes. It was beautiful, it has the power... A mysterious power... That must be kept...", Maatsu told her. "And we had a fight once after she had a flower bath, I was angry at her and accidently broke her comb, when she suddenly... Was called... To be blinded... To the blinding ritual, to be exact..."
Hikaru gasped. The bell that chimed, it sounded familiar to her. The kimono she was wearing, a crimson colored one, actually stood up for the crimson butterflies... Now she remembered... She WAS Hikari... But where's Max?
Maatsu caught Hikaru from falling off the bed, "Hikaru-hime, are you alright?"
Hikaru couldn't speak, her tears rolled down as she can feel the agony of love between Hikari and Maatsu. It was a very deep and passionate one...

Maatsu took a hair comb, and combed Hikaru's hair softly.
"Hikaru, I think I can help you to get out, but first, I'm so sorry, I have to bite you at the back of your neck.." Maatsu speaked of his will.\par Hikaru sobbed. What has she got herself into?
"Hikaru, please... This is the only way..." Maatsu begged.
Hikaru paused, "I... Just bite me. NOW.", as she turned to Maatsu with a stronger aggresive tone in her voice.
Maatsu turned into his ghost form, and held Hikaru close to him.
Hikaru felt her skin tingling with fear, but she tried to not think about it too much. She closed her eyes.
Maatsu's arms held Hikaru tight, it was comfortable, except with lifeless arms holding her... It was cold...

SNAP!!

Hikaru could feel the bite, which was deep. "Argh!! Maatsu..."
Maatsu held her tighter in his arms, and whispered, "You will grow with it, it's a proof that you were loved... Deeply..."

Hikaru's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she heard.

Suddenly Maatsu was gone, except for the room. Hikaru could hear whisperings, moanings and groans...

"You will wear this kimono in here, it will useful later..."

Hikaru obtained a crimson-blood kimono, "Washed" Mirror, red ribbon, a hair chopstick and a crimson-colored nail polish that Hikari always wear.
