A Trip to Disney

Chapter 4: Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni

{Better known as chapter 3 part 2}

(WHYYYYYYYYY?)

"Come on, lure someone here/ Demon-san, come here to where my hands clap/ No matter how you run away, I'll catch you/ Where cicadas cry is no more/ That voice that comes from the animal trail."

-Eiko Shimamiya "Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni"

The boy continued to stare our group down, his eyes never seeming to fall on me. He kept looking until his gaze stopped on Squee. "Well who's this tasty morsel- err- young child?" he said

Squee made his signature scared noise that gave him his name "Squee, huh?" he said, smiling wider to reveal sparkling long fangs. I guess this means that the person before us was David that I had had heard so much about from the group. And if that were true, Squee was in danger.

"Come here, and let's have a better look at you." He said smiling even wider.

PRTECTION MODE= ACTIVATED.

I rushed up in front of Squee, making my presence known to David. He looked at me with a surprised expression. "What do you want, buddy?" he started in an annoyed fashion, "my drink just arrived."

I pulled out Sarah's wooden knife that I had "borrowed" and held it at level with his eyes "Stay away from Squee or you'll have this go though your weak dead heart." I muttered threateningly.

David looked at me fearfully before he tried to regain his cool, "Ok, fine. You keep the brat... Didn't mean to split up the 'loving relationship'." he said.

Sarah's POV

With any luck, we managed to get a table away from David, and I guess Nny was so upset he didn't order anything but Erik was willing to share his Dim Sum with Squee. I'd just waited for a little bit before asking Nny a question, "Nny, how did you get a hold of the knife Bryan made for me?" I asked

Well, in case you didn't connect the dots: Bryan is my little brother (Not in the physical sense, but in the age sense. Bryan is gigantic compared to me!) Who made me a wooden dagger that I use as a primary form of self defense. Usually I'd use the Knife Nny gave me after a close encounter with Marluxia.

"Well, you left it in an open compartment of your backpack, so since I was threatening a vampire I grabbed the wooden one." He replied, the looking out the window to see the rays of the almost setting sun. 'Great...' I thought, 'Now David's going to following us now that the sun can't keep him away.' I was so disappointed that it had to come to that.

"Nny, keep a close eye on Squee. It's getting dark.

After an amusing time on the Maelstrom in which a ride operator was "accidentally" thrown onto the tracks and was flattened to death, we headed over to Japan.

Erik noticed something and dragged me over to it.

It was a small keyboard at which he sat himself down, "Erik, not like I don't appreciate the furthering of the musical arts in public, but why did you drag me over here?" I asked

"Because I was going to play that song 'Higurashi' you like so well, and I wanted you to sing along." He said before starting the song.

I was enchanted by the melody and practically couldn't stop myself from belting the song out and closing my eyes [English translation, not sung]

Furimuita sono ushiro no (shoumen daare?)
Kurayami ni tsume wo tatete (yoru wo hikisaita)

[Behind where I looked back (Who's in the front?)
I raised my claws at the darkness (and ripped the night apart)]

Amadare wa chi no shizuku to natte hoho wo
Tsutaiochiru
Mou doko ni mo kaeru basho ga nai nara

[Raindrops turn into droplets of blood
and run down my cheeks
If there isn't a place for me to return anywhere anymore]

Kono yubi tomare watashi no yubi ni
Sono yubi goto tsuretette ageru
Higurashi ga naku akazu no mori e
Ato modori wa mou dekinai

[Take these fingers, my fingers
I'll take all your fingers away
To the unopenable forest where cicadas cry
There's no turning back anymore]

Hitorizutsu kesarete yuku (aoi honoo)
Kurayami no sono mukou ni (asa wa mou konai)

[People disappear one by one (blue flames)
On the other side of the darkness (the morning won't come anymore)]

Kagami no naka de ugomeki nobashite kuru musuu no te de
Saa dareka wo koko e izanainasai

[With countless wriggling and stretching hands in the mirror,
Come on, lure someone here]

Oni san kochira te no naru hou e
Donna ni nigetemo tsukamaete ageru
Higurashi ga naku kemono michi kara
Kikoeteita koe wa mou nai

[Oni-san, come here, to where my hands clap*
No matter how you run away, I'll catch you
The voice that was coming from the animal trail
where cicadas cry, is no more]

Kono yubi tomare watashi no yubi ni
Sono yubi goto tsuretette ageru
Higurashi ga naku akazu no mori e
Ato modori wa mou dekinai

Take these fingers, my fingers
I'll take all your fingers away
To the unopenable forest where cicadas cry
There's no turning back anymore

Oni san kochira te no naru hou e
Donna ni nigetemo tsukamaete ageru
Higurashi ga naku kemono michi kara
Kikoeteita koe wa mou nai

Once the song finished, I looked around to see a huge crowd around us cheering. I blushed and waved at everyone as David and Johnny pushed their way to the front "Ok, show's over!" Johnny said.

"Yea, everyone head to the big lake place, the fireworks show is starting soon." David said.

Probably as soon as they'd come, they ran over to the lake as the droning voice began his boring presentation. Erik called out for us to follow him all the way to the top of the very tall pagoda to watch.

As soon as the voice stopped, huge fireworks went off. I watched as the immense bursts danced across the sky, attempting to outshine the stars. As I was lost in my land of creative imagery, Roxas tapped my shoulder.

I looked at him as he showed me an elaborately made oath-keeper ring and wordlessly slid it onto my left ring finger, his gaze asking me the question. I looked at him and nodded, my eyes filling up with happy tears, and hugging him tightly

I could feel everyone's eyes on us, but I didn't care. I held up my left hand for all of them to see and heard many cheers and clapping.

Best. Day. EVER!
