Disclaimer: I do not own YGO or Higurashi, because last time I checked, I wasn't a billionaire.

This chapter will be the scene where Keiichi claims that Mion isn't his friend. There will be twists so Jounouchi lives up to his actual character. It will be from Jounouchi's POV instead of Anzu's. This is because I wanted a bit of a challenge, so I decided to do it the other way around. R&R as usual, no flames, please. Constructive criticism appreciated.

I saw Honda in front of me, he seemed a bit dazed about something, lost in thought. I don't know what was wrong with him. In front of him, I saw Anzu, practicing 'swings' for some stupid game, that I knew was a cover up. She needed help...

Instead of greeting Anzu, Honda walked straight inside the school. I wonder what was wrong with him? We've been friends for over a year, I guess I could ask him later. We were working on trying to get Anzu... back to normal, so it couldn't hurt talking to him about it. Maybe something happened last night, I'm worried for him. I don't want Anzu to do anything stupid to Honda.

I looked over at Anzu, she was looking at Honda, but her look wasn't a friendly one. She looked quite hostile. Something definetely happened last night, I'm going to get to the bottom of it. Anzu has been acting so strange these past few days. She hasn't been to club, she's even missed school a few times. She keeps making excuses up. Claiming she has to practice for the 'team'. We all knew she was lying, but why? Seto has been upset, because Anzu has been using Miho's bat... I can understand that Seto would feel upset, that was his big sister's bat, before she disappeared.

That's another thing. Anzu has been acting exactly like Miho, just before she disappeared. I'm very concerned for her, what if she goes missing? I need to help her, try to get her to see sense and stop this stupidity... but how?

"Anzu," I started, trying to sound a bit happy, hoping she'd look over. She directed her attention off Honda and looked straight at me, there was... no emotion in her eyes, "morning!"

She blanked me and started swinging the bat again. That damned bat. I wish I could just take it off her... but I can't, I'd be putting myself in danger, she's obviously not stable and could do anything.

I tried to get her attention again, "Wow, you're really into baseball, so am I! If you wanna show your 'masculine' side a bit more, we can always practice sometime?"

"Leave me alone."

... Leave her alone?

"I can't concentrate."

C-concentrate?

"Put that down! It's bugging me!" I yelled. She's not gonna piss me off and get away with it so easily.

"How come?" She asked, confused. She damn well knows why, I'm trying to talk to her, and she's just blanking me out!

"Just stop practicing, please..."

"What do you mean? I did stop, didn't I?" She asked, trying to act dumb. Ugh.

"Yeah, yeah... I don't want you doing that anymore, okay?" Which was the truth, I just wanted her to be back to normal, and stop doing what Miho did...

"Why not?" I could tell she was getting annoyed at me, but I didn't care. I needed to get a point across. "It's not like I'm bothering anyone..."

"But you are!"

"What are you talking about? Just who am I bothering?"

"That's not even your bat!" She's starting to piss me off. Can't she tell that Seto's been bothered about this, and everyone else, or is she just that ignorant?

"So? Someone left it behind, but she moved away." 'Moved away'...

"You know, it doesn't even make any sense, why would her little brother stay here, while she moved out?" What? How did she know that?

"How'd you know that?" I asked.

"Miho... Seto's sister, right? She was spirited away from the demon, wasn't she?" Wow... who told him this? "From what I heard, Miho used to swing this bat as well. Right about the time he went missing... What, do you think this is a sign that I too have been cursed by Oyashiro?"

"Will you shut up?" I yelled. That's enough! I'm not hearing anymore of this! "Listen, this scares everyone. If you're doing this just because you think it's funny, then stop pretending to be Miho!"

She slammed the bat on the ground

"No, you listen. I don't know anything about Miho because no one will tell me the truth about it!" ... She's right.

"We weren't being like that to upset you..."

"Because you thought the truth might scare me? So you thought it was better to keep me in the dark on this?" What? No!

"No! That wasn't our intention!"

"Remember when I asked you if something happened at the construction site?" Yes... "And you said no, even thought someone was chopped into little bits there? You planned on lying to me!"

My eyes went wide... no... We were just trying to protect her... "Sorry... I didn't mean to."

"If someone lies to you, they aren't really your friend, are they? Are they? Seems pretty clear that you guys aren't my friends!"

"But... Anzu, that's not true! That's a lie!"

"Oh yeah? How about the food you guys sent me? That was really nice of you. Yeah, I like food that makes me bleed!" ... I get that she didn't like it, but did she have to be a bitch about it? "So tell me, who did it? You, or Honda?"

"You thought you could easily get rid of me, but you guys were wrong! I don't know anything about Miho, but you're not getting rid of me, like you did with her!" Huh? Wha-

"Yeah that's right, I know about you and your dealings with the four men of that construction site, and I know about the fights you get into, but you thought you could hide that from me, didn't you?" She's gone over the top... she's been researching our history? Why? She must really think something's wrong with us!

"How do you... even... know that?"

"Let's go. Being late for class is for morons." Okay, now I'm pissed.

"What the hell? Why are you being such a bitch? I understand you're mad, but seriously?"

She just blanked me out... Where could she of gotten this fro- Aha! That's right! Bakura saw him with that stupid Uisho!

"I get it now... I know who told you everything. It was him, wasn't it? Ugh. I can't believe this is happening, why do you trust Uisho over me and Honda? Why? Why can't you just trust us? What have we done for you to act like this?"

"Who are you talking about?..."

What? She doesn't know who I'm talking about? Did she just blank me completely and think I said something else?... Or what? Whatever. I'm avoiding her today completely.

I'll discuss this with Honda later. I hope Honda tells me about last night, I really do. Then maybe it'll lead me to figuring out why she just said all of that to me. How dare she say that to me, we're supposed to be friends and she doesn't even see that! After all of the crap with being welcoming, and letting her into our club!

How come Uisho has been talking to her in the first place? This is all so stupid! I thought Hinamizawa was through all the crap, and now this happens with Anzu. Next thing you know, she'll be missing! I really hope this is just some kind of sick joke.


Later on, at lunch.

"Honda, can I talk to you for a few minutes?" I asked, needing to know what happened last night. He gave me a sad look, knowing exactly what it was I wanted to talk to him about.

"Guys, I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back in a few." He said smoothly, trying to not act suspiciously.

"I think Sensei wants to see me too, so I'll be back soon!" I also said, making sure that they believed our lies. We went into the boy's restroom to talk where we were sure Anzu wouldn't come.

"So, tell me... What happened last night?" I started, hoping to get a straight answer. Honda looked me in the eyes and had trouble coming out with any words.

... Crap, something really bad must of happened.

"W-well... Um... I went over, with a bento of food, because I-I saw her looking for ramen at the supermarket, so I assumed she had no food..." He trailed on, damn he's gonna break down isn't he? "... S-So I went to her house, and rung the doorbell, and she came to the door. She started with lying, saying that her mom was cooking, so I told her that I saw her at the supermarket buying ramen, so she couldn't be..." He stopped for a minute, trying to collect his thoughts.

"So, what happened next?" I asked.

"Well... she started getting nervous, so I asked if I should go home. I got no reply. So I reached through the gap in the door and touched the chain, rattling it a bit, to show her that I wanted to cook for her..." Oh no, please don't tell m- "So then she screamed at me, telling me to go home, and trapped my fingers in the door, I think I broke them. I felt like I did something wrong... a-and after I freed my fingers, I stood back, and looked up at her window. I just continued saying sorry, until she'd understand, that I was sorry for whatever I did..."

"Let me see your fingers." I asked, and he held up his hand. His fingers had red marks on them, he could barely move them. I sighed. "You need to see Sensei about that, say you got them trapped in the door by accident or something."

"I-I can't... I just... I d-" His voice started to break, here come the tears... Poor guy. "I-I... I'm sorry Jou... That you have to see me i-in this... state."

"It's okay, Honda. I know how you feel. This is a hard time for all of us." I went over to him and gave him a hug. He needed it, he was my best friend after all. Best friends do this sort of things when they're upset. I felt the need to crack a joke to lighten the mood, but I knew it wouldn't work, Honda was obviously having a bit of a breakdown right now, he feels he can't do anything to save Anzu from 'Oyashiro-sama's curse'.

"Dude, stop crying, you're gonna make me cry in a minute." I said, trying to get him to stop, but it wouldn't work. All I could do was stand there and somehow comfort him by putting an arm around him. We stayed there for about 5 minutes until he finally recovered.

"Are you okay now, Honda?" I asked, still quite concerned for his state.

"Yeah... I think so. Hey, thanks man, for being there for me."

"No soppy stuff now!" I warned in a playful tone, he looked up at me and smiled. "Well, let's get back to the classroom before people start to wonder if we've gone off making out or something."

"Yeah, wouldn't want that to happen, our masculinity would be ruined!"

Even though Anzu wasn't herself anymore, I knew I'd always have Honda to talk to, and rely on, as my best friend. I mean sure, most guys wouldn't confine in their best friends like we do, but screw it. Those guys probably didn't know what it was like to have a best friend in the first place.


Jounouchi: No killing? Good! Wait, why isn't this in chronological order? D:
Honda:
Why the HELL did you make me cry? -_-
Anzu:
And why am I the bad guy? ._.
A/N: Oh shut up, and stop complaining. Anyway, sorry if it was soppy in the last scene, it was NOT intended to be yaoi, it was intended to be a simple comfort scene, but if there are any fangirls out there, you can think what you want. XD I know it seems like Honda is getting a bit too emotional, but this is a Higurashi fanfic, there needs to be emotional scenes!
