新着少女
New Girl
"Bye Mom; Umi and I are heading to school," I called out as she opened the front door. I grabbed Umi's hand and we set out after hearing our mom say goodbye.
"Sakura-chan are you off to school?" Yukari asked. She had just walked out of her house as well.
"Yeah we are," I replied as I started to walk down the driveway.
"You are going the long way if you go that way," Yukari called out.
I turned around and saw Yukari standing at the edge of the forest. "It is quicker to go through the forest?" I questioned.
"Yeah if you know the right way to go," Yukari explained.
"I wouldn't mind going through the forest," Umi said excitedly. "We might hear the morning birds; I love their cries."
"Ok then lets go," I announced, and we all headed into the forest.
Umi, Yukari and I walked through the forest. As we walked we listened to the sounds of the birds chirping and the other sounds of the forest. I held onto Umi's hand so she wouldn't get lost.
A surprised gasp escaped my lips when Umi hugged my left leg tightly. I looked down at Umi with a worried expression. "What is wrong?" I asked.
Umi hid behind my leg while pointing far away in the forest. "A large black wolf was there," she cried.
"A wolf," I laughed. "You are just seeing things a wolf wouldn't live near here."
Yukari bent down in front of Umi. "What did the wolf look like?" she asked with keen interest.
"It was huge and all black and its eyes were all red. It was scary, and it was just starring at us," Umi cried.
"You are just imagining it," I told her.
"Maybe not," Yukari countered. "Have you heard of Cerberus? Cerberus is the guardian of the underworld."
"Why would he be in this forest?" I questioned in disbelief.
Yukari had a blank expression on her face. "Death is Cerberus's master, so he is here because his master is."
"Again with that Death junk!" I yelled.
Yukari's expression changed and became darker. "You shouldn't mock Death, he will kill you if you do."
I shrugged. "He isn't real."
We continued walking through the forest and after what seemed like hours we reached the exit to the mass amount of trees. We walked out of the forest and off in the distance I could see a large white building.
As we got closer to the building I realized that there were actually two buildings right next to each other. One was the younger kid's school where Umi would be going and next to it was the high school.
Yukari and I bid goodbye to Umi before we went into the high school. When I walked into the classroom the teacher asked that I come up and introduce myself.
"Hi; I'm the teacher Kaho Mizuki," the red haired woman told me.
Kaho Mizuki is the red haired woman who is my teacher. From what Tomoyo told me she is a pretty strict teacher sometimes. She has a strange habit of stating nonsense about magic and stuff. One of the kids in the class; Takashi Yamazaki tells people she is an alien.
"I'm Sakura Kinomoto," I announced to everyone. As I looked around the room I noticed a few faces I knew; that creepy guy Eriol, the freaky wolf-boy Syaoran, my strange next-door neighbor Yukari, the lolita girl Mari, and my weird yet beautiful cousin Tomoyo. I also noticed five open seats so I wonder if someone is absent.
"Kinomoto-san your seat will be in one next to Inihara-san," Kaho told me. "Inihara-san please raise your hand."
I tried to tell Miss Mizuki that she doesn't need to raise her hand, but she didn't listen to me. I gave up and walked to my assigned seat.
As I sat down I head people whispering, "Poor Sakura-san having to sit next to HER." "I know she didn't do anything Mizuki-sensei is giving her a punishment for nothing." "I feel so sorry for her, having to sit next to THAT THING!" "Even sitting next to Yanagisawa-san would be better."
I turned to look at Mari. I noticed small tears welling up in her eyes. "Mari-san are you ok?" I asked.
"Yes," she replied in a weak voice. "You shouldn't talk to me," she whispered softly. The tears she was holding in started to run down her face. She quickly got up and ran out of the room.
I looked around and the room and no one seemed to care that she had just ran out, even the teacher. Poor Mari.
When Mari didn't return after three minutes I raised my hand. "Mizuki-sensei maybe I please be allowed to go to the bathroom?" I asked.
"Yes, but don't take too long," she told me.
I got up from my seat and walked out of the room. I headed to the girl's bathroom; even from outside I could hear the sound of Mari's crying.
I opened the door and walked into the bathroom. I saw Mari standing over the sink crying. I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder.
Mari jumped in surprise and turned around, a shocked expression on her face. "Kinomoto-san what are you doing here?" she asked trying to stop her tears.
"Call me Sakura," I told her. "And I was worried about you. Whatever they say about you, you know the truth so just ignore them. You have someone you can tell you problems to, don't just cry alone. You've got a friend to comfort you."
Mari's tears startled to stop. "Thank you Sakura-san."
The sound of the bathroom door seemed to echo through the small room. "Sakura you shouldn't get close to her," I heard Tomoyo yell at me. "It will only lead to trouble."
I turned around and snapped at her, "She was just rejected by the whole class. They insulted her and tormented her. The least you can do is show her some sympathy!"
"You are free to do what you want, I won't stop you," Tomoyo told me, "I'm just advising you as your cousin to stay away from HER."
"Why? Give me one good reason?" I asked.
Tomoyo didn't answer she just sent Mari a cold glare before leaving the room.
"What is her problem?" I muttered. "Don't listen to Tomoyo,"
Mari shook her head over and over, "No she is right; you should just stay away from me!" Mari screamed at me before running out of the bathroom.
I sighed dejectedly before returning to the classroom. I ignored the teacher as I opened the door and went inside the room.
I walked past the first two rows of desks and sat in my seat in the third desk to the right in the third row. There were five rows of four desks in the class room. Mari sat to the right of me so she was also in the center of the row. Tomoyo sat right behind Mari. Syaoran sat right behind me with Yukari to the left of him. Eriol sat in the first row in desk right next to the wall. A girl named Chiharu sat in the seat to the left of him. To the left of her was a girl named Miyu. And sitting next to Miyu in the desk next to the window was a girl named Naoko. Behind Eriol sat a boy named Takeshi and next to him sat a girl named Orika. In front of me sat a boy named Kira, and next to him sat a boy named Akito. To the left of me sat a boy named Kiyoh, and to the right of Mari sat a boy named Yuuta. The seat behind Yuuta was empty.
So the order from right to left went like this, Naoko, Miyu, Chiharu, Eriol. The second row went like this, Akito, Kira, Orika, Takeshi. And the third like this, Kiyoh, me, Mari, Yuuta. And the forth row, Yukari, Syaoran, Tomoyo, empty space. The whole last row was completely empty.
This is what Tomoyo told me about each of my classmates.
Naoko Yanagisawa is the sixteen year old girl with glasses and short brown hair that is neatly trimmed to cover her forehead but not get in her eyes. She has brown eyes and her hair is almost always cut so it is perfectly even. She loves the occult and horror. Her mother died in an accident three years ago, since then she has been even more obsessed with black magic and the occult. Supposedly she wants to learn magic so she can revive her mother. There is a rumor that she even created a homunculus in her basement, and it looks just like her. Makes me wonder if sometimes when she comes to school if it is really her.
Miyu Sunada is the fifteen year old girl with short black hair and a purple hair band. She had blue eyes and never takes her hair band off. No one in school has seen her with it off. She is extremely bubbly and energetic. She is a happy-go-lucky person. She is almost always smiling, but one time she was seen crying her eyes out in the bathroom. So it is a possibility that her always happy attitude is just to cover-up her sadness.
Chiharu Mihara is the sixteen year old girl with two long pigtails. Her hair is brown as are her eyes. She is a friendly girl and not a quite one. She is dating fellow classmate Takashi. Those two have been friends since childhood. Chiharu's father died in an accident three years ago. Since then her and Naoko have been hanging out together a lot. She is a little stuck-up and has dislike for certain people.
Eriol Hiiragizawa is the sixteen year old with blue hair and glasses. He is a little weird, and strange. He is among the group of friends Tomoyo hangs out with. He calls Syaoran his 'cute little descendent' cause apparently they are distantly related and he is a little older than Syaoran. Still weird.
Akito Kano is the fifteen year old guy with blonde haired and blue eyes. He is a lone wolf and spends all his time by himself, by choice. He brings a large backpack to school everyday, and it is big enough to fit six sets of the school books inside. He sometimes skips classes and goes who knows where.
Kira Asari is the sixteen year old guy with dark brown hair and green eyes. He is also a loner kind of, he doesn't get close to anyone in the class besides Syaoran. He spends most of his time when he is not at school with his younger sister and brother. His mother died five years ago and his father works almost all the time. Though he is a stoic person he and Syaoran get along really well. It might because they are both like that.
Orika Enoki is the fifteen year old girl with short almost bubblegum pink hair. She gets teased a lot because of her hair color which she claims in natural. She is a quiet girl who doesn't talk much. She doesn't really have any friends. But apparently she has been seen hanging around Naoko and Kira before.
Takashi Yamazaki is the sixteen year old guy with short black hair and dark brown eyes. He likes to tell long winded stories. Which are completely false, they even sound ridiculous. I was told not to believe the tales he tells. He is going out with his childhood friend Chiharu.
Kiyoh Loxely is seventeen year old guy with very dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is someone who is looking into the future. He is obsessed with the latest technology and is probably the most technological person in Yukihana. He makes frequent trips to Tokyo to see his friend Laserworm. What a weird name…….
Mari Inihara is the fourteen year old girl who is always wearing black. She has long brown hair which covers her ears on the sides, and goes past her neck in the back. She has light green eyes. Tomoyo says she is a freak. Not much in known about her because she is an outcast and is treated like a monster.
Yuuta Senta is the fourteen year old boy with short light brown hair. He is always very proper. His hair is always neatly parted to the right. Apparently his mother is very strict about politeness and keeping up appearances. Because of this he lashes out his anger through harsh criticism and insults about others.
Yukari Fushima is the sixteen year old girl with short light brown hair and blue eyes. She lives with her dad since her parents got divorced, due to her mother cheating on her father. She tries to let her situation bother her. But she truthfully misses her mother and her older brother. She is in the group of Tomoyo's friends.
Syaoran Li is the sixteen year old boy with dark brown hair and amber colored eyes. He tries to kept his feelings under control but he isn't very good at it. He is in Tomoyo's group of friends. He is good friends with the twins Haru and Hana. 'He is hot he would make a good bf for you Sakura.' I still can't believe Tomoyo said that to me.
Tomoyo Daidouji is the sixteen year old girl with long purplish black hair that runs down her back, and sparking amethyst eyes. She and her mother live together in a small house which has a lot of land, which they raise horses on. She cares a lot about fashion and can't stand people wearing odd clothes. I can't believe Tomoyo talked to me about herself, as if she was in the third person.
I tried to listen to Mizuki-sensei, but I kept worrying about Mari. Class went on and on for hours until it was time for lunch, but still Mari didn't return.
I hope she is okay. I declined Tomoyo's invite to have lunch together and went off to search for Mari. I walked all around the school but I couldn't find her. After sighing I just gave up and walked back into the classroom.
I was surprised to see someone in the classroom. "Hello Enoki-san" I greeted as I sat down in my seat.
"Hello Kinomoto-san," she meekly greeted back.
"Why are you in the classroom during lunch?" I asked.
"Because the students from other classes will tease me because of my hair color," she told me in a soft voice. "What are you doing in the classroom?"
"Lunch is going to end in a few minutes, and I haven't eaten anything yet. So I'm going to eat as much as I can before the bell rings," I told her.
"I see," she said in a whisper.
The door flew open quickly, "Onee-chan!" Umi yelled excitedly as she ran to me.
"Umi what are you doing here class is going to start any minute," I cried out.
"I want you to meet my friend," she told me.
At that point I noticed a young seven year old boy standing shyly behind Umi. I knew right away who he was. He was the same boy Umi played with yesterday. She told me a lot about him as we walked home.
Yori Akamori is the young seven year old with short light brown hair and blue eyes. He is very shy and doesn't have any friends. He is ignored by all the other kids and they treat him coldly. He is very skittish and gets freighted easily.
"Onee-chan this is Yori-kun," Umi introduced. "He is in my class, we spent all day together."
"Nice to meet you Akamori-kun," I greeted.
The little boy hid behind Umi and said nothing. "He is really shy," Umi told me in a loud voice.
Without giving me a chance to say anything Umi started telling me all about her day so far. She would have kept going and going, but Mizuki-sensei put a stop to my sister babbling.
"Kinomoto-san please take your little sister back to her class," she ordered in a firm tone.
I quickly snatched Umi's hand. "Sorry sensei," I apologized as I stormed out of the room with Umi and her friend.
"Umi where is your classroom?" I asked a little frustrated.
"I don't remember," she told me.
I let out a sigh to try and cool my frustration. Sensei is going to be so mad at me.
"It is room 203 in the second building," Yori whispered.
"Thank you Yori," I told him.
After putting my little sister and her friend in the classroom I walked back to my classroom. I apologized to the teacher when I entered the room and went to my seat. I noticed Mari still hadn't returned. She must still be upset.
Class ended of the day and still Mari hadn't returned. Tomoyo invited me to hang out with her group of friends. So since I had nothing better to do I told her "sure."
I was then introduced to the remaining three members of the group her Tomoyo's friends. Two of them were twins and ten years old. The other was a girl twelve years old.
Haru Yuhara is the ten year old boy who is included in Tomoyo's group of friends. He has spiky grayish hair and dark brown eyes. He is good friends with Syaoran and Kira. Those two even take turns checking in on the twins because there parents passed away. Despite that fact Haru doesn't let that slow him down. Maybe he is just too young to understand.
Hana Yuhara is the ten year old girl who is included in Tomoyo's group of friends. She had short blonde hair and dark brown eyes. She is friends with Syaoran and Kira, but doesn't get along with them as well as Haru. It is unknown if she is the younger twin or older. It might be due to her being a girl and they are guys.
Himeko Tori is the twelve year old girl who is included in Tomoyo's group of friends. She has semi long blonde hair that is curled, and green dark blue eyes. She has an older brother, but he left to go to college four years ago. She is good friends with Haru and Hana.
Hayato Tori is a twenty two year old guy. From what I heard he had dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. He is Himeko's older brother. He left to go to college in Tokyo four years ago in June. He returns every year in July, but he has to leave a few days before the end of the month to get back to school on time. He was a Syaoran's role model, was deeply admired by him.
"Everyone else this is Sakura Kinomoto, my cousin," Tomoyo announced to everyone.
"She is hates horror and likes mystery and romance," Yukari added while laughing.
"And she is scared of ghosts," Tomoyo announced.
"She one time thought she saw a ghost in her closet," Yukari laughed.
"One time when she was young she was so scared a ghost was going to come out of the closet and get her she wet her pants." Tomoyo added while laughing.
"Thanks for introducing me so well," I muttered sarcastically.
"You're welcome," they said while giggling.
"Hey why don't we tell ghost stories," Syaoran suggested with a smirk.
I shook my head over and over while whispering, "No, no, no, no."
But I was ignored. "Yeah that sounds like a great idea," Tomoyo smiled wickedly at me.
"Do you all like horror?" I asked in a small voice afraid of the answer. Please let not all of them like horror.
Tomoyo, Syaoran, Yukari, and Eriol raised their hands.
"Yes," I cheered. "Haru-kun, Hana-chan, Himeko-chan, you don't like horror right?"
"I don't mind it," Haru answered, "But Hana doesn't like it."
I noticed Himeko was shaking. All of a sudden she lunged at me and clung to me, "Scary, it is so scary, protect me Sakura-oneechan." Himeko cried.
"Let's not tell scary stories," I suggested.
"I will go first," Syaoran announced. "This is about the blood mirror in the guy's bathroom. I'm sure Eriol has heard about it."
Eriol nodded confirming Syaoran's statement.
"What is it about? I haven't ever heard about it," Yukari said excitedly.
"I have not heard about it either," Tomoyo mentioned.
"I'm scared," Himeko cried.
"Well, it is said if you stare at the bathroom mirror too long the mirror will start to turn red. And an evil spirit will come through the bloody mirror and slash you to bits. It will cover the room in a red glaze," Syaoran said in a creepy voice.
"But it is just a story," I laughed awkwardly.
Syaoran and Eriol shook their heads, and I gulped. "It happened once about three years ago," Syaoran answered.
"Spooky," Yukari giggled. "My turn; my story is about the creepy old well behind the school."
"There is a well behind the school," I stuttered.
"Yeah, a little ways into the forest behind the school," Yukari explained. "The well is really deep and you can't see the bottom not even with a flashlight. Sometimes the spirits of the dead will rise from the well and grab anyone nearby and drag them down into the well."
"Scary," Himeko screamed.
I glanced around the room trying to think of something I could use to steer the conversation away from horror. I then remembered about Himeko's older brother who was gone for many months at a time.
"So Himeko do you miss your brother?" I asked.
Himeko let go of my skirt and looked down at the ground for a few seconds before looking back up and answering. "Of course all the time, but I know he is working hard studying. So when he comes home I make sure not to bug him much, it is the only time he gets to be off of studying," Himeko told me.
I was going to change the subject again but Tomoyo did that for me. After Tomoyo changed the subject we all talked about a variety of things. I was one of the subjects they asked me a lot of questions about myself, which I answered. After talking with them all for almost an hour I felt I got pretty close to them even though we had only known each other for a short while.
Umi and I walked home with Yukari we talked the whole way. Yukari I seemed pretty close she was someone I had some things in common with. But she is still a little strange if you ask me.
I woke up early the next morning and had breakfast with my family. Mom, dad, Umi, and Touya were talking about something, but I didn't really care. And for the most part tried to avoid talking, I got away with it until mom turned the conversation over to me.
"How was your first day at school?" she asked me.
"It was ok," I answered quickly; I really didn't want to mention what happened at school. I was still trying to figure out what was going on.
"Well what do you think of your classmates?" dad asked.
"They're ok," I told him.
"Make any friends?" mom questioned.
"It was the first day," I answered in a coldish tone.
"Mommy, can I invite a friend over after school?" Umi asked excitedly.
"Sure Umi, you can have a friend over, just make sure it is ok with their parents," mom told her.
"Yeah it is ok, Yori-kun has no parents," Umi answered with a smile.
"Umi, that isn't something you should say with a smile," dad scolded.
"I don't understand," Umi pouted at being scolded.
"I might make Yori-kun feel bad," mom explained.
"I don't get it," Umi whined.
"You don't have to understand it squirt," Touya told her.
"I will try to explain it to her as we walk to school," I announced as I stood up from my seat and grabbed Umi's hand.
"Why aren't we going through the forest?" Umi asked when we turned and starting going down the driveway.
"I don't feel like walking through the woods today, and I really doubt that it is faster," I told her before she brought that up as well.
We walked for a while and we were getting close to school when we spotted someone heading towards us. It was Akito Kano he was carrying a very large dusty yellow backpack.
"Where are you going Kano-kun, school is the other way," I teased.
He frowned at me, before glancing to the side to see if he could make it past me.
"What's in the bag?" I asked.
"Nothing you should be concerned with," he answered smugly.
"That just makes me more interested," I replied.
A small tug was applied to my skirt. "We are going to be late onee-chan," Umi whined.
"We will leave in a minute," I told her without glancing down.
"But we are going to be late!" Umi cried out.
I glanced down at her without realizing the mistake I made. I quickly glanced up, but Akito had already gotten past me.
I frowned as I continued walking with Umi. I wonder what was in the backpack. Akito really didn't want me to see what was inside.
That thought bugged me all the while class went on. Maybe it is drugs or something like that. Like weapons, guns maybe. Or maybe Akito is spy and that is full of spy stuff. Maybe he is a mad killer and inside the bag were parts of a body. Mari isn't here…..he didn't……he couldn't have killed Mari. I mean the students don't like her, but for him to kill her. There is no way…….he couldn't have.
I shook my head to clear my thoughts. What am I thinking? Akito a killer or a spy or a drug or weapon dealer, that is just silly. Utter nonsense, that's what it is.
I noticed that the bell had rung a few minutes earlier. I quickly gathered my stuff together and stood up from my seat as I briskly walked forward. I failed to notice Miyu still in the room and I ran into her.
"Gomen, Sunada-chan," I apologized.
She turned and smiled at me, "It is ok Kinomoto-chan."
"Class ended, what are you still doing in the classroom?" I asked.
"Just tiding up for Mizuki-sensei," Miyu asked.
"Ok," I answered as I headed out the door. I turned and gave one more glance at Miyu before heading out of the room.
I hung out with Tomoyo and her friends for the hour I waited before Umi got out of school. Umi, Yori, and I walked home. Umi excitedly introduced Yori to everyone the minute we got in the front door. They went to play, while I was stuck doing homework.
After twenty minutes of pondering, I just gave up and decided to read a book. I didn't read very many pages before it was time for dinner.
"Touya how did the job hunt go?" dad asked.
"Decent, I found a job, and they said they would get back to me if I got it," Touya answered.
"Sakura how was your day?" mom asked.
"Ok," I replied.
"My day was really fun," Umi cried out. "We learned stuff, and played stuff, and I got closer to my friend Yori-kun."
After we finished eating dinner dad, mom and Umi took Yori back to where he lives. I went back to my room and continued reading my book. I read until I finally fell asleep.
I woke up later than usual the next morning so I quickly ate breakfast before heading to school with Umi.
I started to get into a routine which I followed for the next two days. I would walk with Umi and Yukari to school. Listen to Mizuki-sensei go on and on. Have lunch with Tomoyo and her friends. Then after school hang out with Tomoyo and her friends. Pick up Umi, go home, work on my homework a little, eat, then more homework, and lastly sleep.
But sadly when school came on Saturday I was really behind in the school work. So instead of hanging out with Tomoyo's gang after school I headed to the school library.
The library was a small room. The walls were lined with books, expect the spot where a large window was. In the room there was four tables each with three white plastic chairs on each side. I sat down in the middle chair of the closest table. Across from me was one only other person in the room; Kira Asari.
I got my books out and started to look over the homework we just received. It was really tough and hard for me to understand.
This is hopeless. I scratched my head in confusion. Apparently Kira noticed my confusion. "This is the formula," he told me showing me a page in the algebra book.
"Oh I get it now," I announced. "But I don't get the next one."
Kira helped me with problem after problem for a while. He glanced up once and smiled, it wasn't a very nice smile it was a sly smile. "Syaoran is really good in math," he told me before he got up. "You should have him help you," Kira told me as he walked toward the door where Syaoran stood.
Kira whispered something to Syaoran, but it was spoken softly so I couldn't hear it. Syaoran turned bright red and pushed Kira who was laughing, before storming away. Kira called out to him and followed him.
I sighed and turned back to my book. It was then that I finally noticed that someone else was in the room. Sitting at the farthest table in the room, was Naoko Yanagisawa.
I walked over and sat down across from her. "What are you reading Yanagisawa-san?" I asked.
"A grimoire," Naoko answered.
"What's that?" I asked.
"A book of spells," Naoko answered. "Now would you please leave your anti-magic toxin is very strong."
"Anti-magic toxin?" I questioned.
Naoko let out a sigh. "All humans are born with some. As we get older it grows stronger. It repels magic so it becomes non-existent. For someone to use magic they must lower their anti-magic toxin, and must also not be near people with high levels of anti-magic toxin. If they can perform magic before people with high levels of anti-magic toxin, or a group of many people they are very skilled in magic. But magic is also influenced by emotion," Naoko explained. "Now that you understand would you please leave."
I gathered my books together and left the library. It is time to pick up Umi anyway. I went and picked up Umi and we went home. I helped my mom make dinner, before we sat down to eat.
"I got the job," Touya told us. "I'm going to be working at the general store on the far side of town."
"I remember passing that place, it is near the park," I mentioned.
"So when do you start?" dad asked.
"Monday," Touya answered.
"Good, then you can help unpack tomorrow, everyone else is," mom announced making the decision for Umi and I.
I let out a groan for I knew tomorrow would be boring. We finished eating and I helped mom wash the dishes before continuing reading my book. I got engrossed in the novel I didn't even notice that it was past midnight.
I got into my sleeping clothes and got into my bed. I was about to fall asleep when a familiar sound jolted me wide awake.
*POUND! POUND! POUND!*
I got out of my bed and walked towards my door. I listened carefully to see if the noise would continue. I almost jumped out of my skin when I new noise started up.
*CREAK! CEARK! CREAK!*
I gulped before opening my door and going down the hallway. I slowly crept down the stairs. I stopped at the last step and glanced over the corner of the wall and into the kitchen. A blacked cloaked figure was standing there. The figure's back was to me, so it couldn't see me. The figure was covered a black cloak that covered its entire body with a black hood that went over its head.
I walked towards the kitchen. "Hey, it isn't nice to go into someone else's house," I shouted at the figure.
The figure turned around and I found my self starring into its crimson red eyes. They didn't have the look of a human at all. The pupil, the iris, it was all red, there was no other color. Its eyes were all I could see, the rest was covered in blackness.
*ehihihi* it laughed in an extremely creepy voice. Then as if by magic the figure just faded out of sight.
*RING! BRING! RING! BRING!*
I opened my eyes and heard the sound of my annoying alarm clock going off. The head was laying on the book I was currently reading. I sat up straight and shut the infernal alarm off. It was just a dream. I must have fallen asleep while reading, but it is strange I feel really tired and I also don't remember falling asleep ever in the dream or in real life.
I got ready for the day and eat breakfast with my family, before we are set out unpacking boxes and organizing things. We spent the whole day doing just that, I was ready to fall asleep at dinner time, but I waited till after dinner before going to sleep.
Umi and I set out at our usual time the next morning and walked through the forest with Yukari. I dropped Umi off and went to my own classroom. I noticed Yamazaki telling his latest tale to Miyu. My mind was then forced to remember the tale he told me two days ago.
It was that potatoes were actually a giant asteroid that hit a comet and broke into millions of small potatoes.
I let out a chuckle as I overheard him tell Miyu his newest fib. "Comets are actually golf balls that were shot into space by giants that played golf in ancient times. They hit them so hard that they flew around the universe multiple times," Takeshi told her.
"Wow I never knew that," she replied amazed.
Is she just pretending to believe it or does she really think that is the truth. The story itself sounds so bogus.
I frowned as I looked at the seat next to me. It has been a week since I started coming to school and Mari still hasn't returned.
The door to the classroom flew open and Mari walked inside. She walked to her seat and sat down. A triumphant expression was on her face, and she was smiling creepily.
"Mari I was so worried about you," I told her.
Mari let out a creepy laugh. *kikikikikikikikikiki* "You don't need to worry about me," she told me in a creepy voice. "For everything is about to end; all my pain is going to end."
"What do you mean?" I asked a little crept out.
Mari stood up and let out that creepy laugh this time it was really loud. *kikkikikikikikikikiki* *ahhahahahahaha* "He has finally arrived!" she cried out in a kind of twisted delightful way.
Mizuki-sensei stomped over to Mari and slapped her on the check. She spun on her heel and walked back to the front of the classroom.
I looked around the room and noticed several dark expressions, one on Tomoyo, one on Yukari, one on Eriol, one on Naoko, and one on Orika.
I heard Mari whisper something that I only barely caught. "Think what you want but none of you shall survive. He has talked to me, he is going to kill you all." She whispered harshly.
My shock had just appeared on my face when Mari stood up and proclaimed something else. "He told me 'He will kill you all!' None of you shall survive!" *kikikikikik* *ahahahahahahaha*
(CHAPTER END)
"Bernkastel!" Laserworm called out.
A blue haired girl that looked about the age of twelve appeared in the room. She had blank purple eyes, and long blue hair. "What do you want?" she asked in a blank tone.
"I need you to proclaim something for me. An introduction for Umi, Touya, and Sakura," Laserworm whined. "They never got one."
"It is your own fault," the witch told him.
"I know but I think I should have all the major characters have one, so that I why I called you," he told her.
"And that is your only reason?" she questioned.
"Nope I called you also because you are so cute," he proclaimed as he jumped at her.
Bernkastel warped to another spot into the room before Laserworm touched her. "I am the witch of miracles, so I know not even with a miracle do you have a chance at me."
"Meany," Laserworm pouted.
"But I will do the introductions for you," she told him.
"Thanks Berny," he said as he smiled.
"Don't call me that." She said coldly.
Touya Kinomoto is a young man the age of twenty two. He has black hair and brown eyes. He cares deeply for his little sisters he shows this by teasing them a lot.
"That's it?" Laserworm muttered disappointed.
"I don't know anymore stuff to put about him," Bernkastel replied.
Umi Kinomoto is the young girl the age of seven. She has short honey brown hair and brown eyes. She is a carefree little girl. She doesn't even realize that she sometimes causes trouble from others. She likes to help people and is very kind and caring.
Sakura Kinomoto is a girl the age of sixteen. She has short honey brown hair and emerald green eyes. She likes mysteries but can't stand horror. She is very brave deep down, but she doesn't know it yet. She is very caring and doesn't like it when people are teased or shunned.
"Is that better?" Bernkastel questioned in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Yep," Laserworm answered. "Hey Berny, can you state something in red for me?"
"Yes if you stop calling me that name," she told me.
"Ok, Berny."
"Stop that," she hissed. "Do it yourself."
"I can't," Laserworm pouted, "I'm not a witch."
"You can too," she replied annoyed.
"Fine," he pouted. "Everything Berny and I says in bold in the truth and a real fact"
"See you did it," she told him.
"But it is cooler if you do it," he pouted.
"Fine," she muttered. "Tomoyo didn't tell anyone what day the Kinomoto family was going to move in. She only told her friends that her cousin and her family were going to move to Yukihana. That is what you wanted me to say right?"
"Well not exactly, but that one works too," Laserworm laughed. "Everything Berny states in bold is the truth but just because she doesn't state it is borders doesn't mean it isn't the truth."
"Yukari took all her cards with her when she left Sakura's house. All the doors and window of the Kinomoto house were locked from the inside. That was the one right?"
"No I wanted the one about Eriol," Laserworm explained.
"You should have told me which one you wanted right away. Now I gave them extra information."
"That's fine, if they know that stuff," Laserworm laughed.
"Eriol was outside the Kinomoto house 3 years ago, when the murder took place. Eriol is not the murderer in that case. There that should be the right one."
"Yep thanks Berny," Laserworm answered. "Can you do a preview of the next chapter for me?"
"Fine," Bernkastel muttered before warping away.
They were sacrificed, Death killed them.
That is just ridiculous, Death doesn't exist
He will kill you, because you mock him
Death was the one you heard in your house. You should beware.
He will kill you all! KILL, KILL, KILL EVERYONE!
I don't want to die, I don't want to die. . . I don't.
(EXTRA END)
Author's Note
I just love Bernkastel and the whole RED TRUTH from Umineko so I just had to use them both. Next chapter will be a little more interesting. But I can't alter the color of the text so it had to become the BOLD TRUTH.
I have wanted to write more for this story since I completed the Umineko games two days ago.
Oh about the names, they are all Japanese because the story takes place in Japan. I looked at the most popular names in Japan in the year 2005 and picked names from that year. I couldn't find a list of the popular for other years. I made the appearances roles and personalities and then numbered them. I put a whole bunch of names in a bag picked them from 1 onward. That also became the OC's seating arrangement.
Will go back and edit when I have time……….
Any way see ya
