• Yu and the Anana Calls •


Yu and her family were getting ready to move houses when Yu beloved doll, Anana, was accidentally thrown away. Yu was extremely sad and wept to her parents.

"It's okay, we'll buy you a new doll," her father said, and Yu unwillingly accepted.

As she got used to her life in the new house, Yu eventually forgot about Anana. Then one night her home's Den Den Mushi ring. Her parents hadn't returned yet, so she answered.

"Um, hello?"

"…"

"Who is this?"

"It's Anana. I'm in the garbage."

"What?! Garbage?!"

Then the caller hung up.

Anana? That was the name of the doll Yu lost. She thought it was a prank, but it still bothered Yu.

Then the Den Den Mushi rang again. Yu thought it might be the same prankster, then again it could be her parents, so Yu picked up the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello, Mom, Dad?"

"It's Anana. I'm passing by Roger's Execution Stand."

The phone hung up again. That Execution Stand, it was near her house. For a prankster, something sure was strange Yu began to think.

Then the Den Den Mushi rang again.

'It's gotta be Anana again,' Yu thought, but she convinced herself it might be her mother or father and answered.

"Hello, Mom? Dad? Is that you? Please come home quick!"

"This is Anana. I'm passing by the food marjet stands."

Then the caller hung up again.

The food market stands is near Yu house. It was then that Yu realised that the perpetrator of the was gradually getting closer. An indescribable fear began to gnaw away at her heart.

'I'm in danger,' Yu thought. She picked up the Den Den Mushi and looked at her Mother and Father's Den Den Mushi number, but at the same time the Den Den Mushi rang, causing her to answer it accidentally.

"… Y-y-yes?"

"This is Anana. I'm in front of your house now, Yu-chan."

Then the caller hung up yet again.

Yu trembled with fear. Not only did the person on the other end of the line know her name, but were standing in front of her house. Yu ran and looked outside.

There was nobody there. There was just a dim light cast over the road from the streetlights.

Unable to stand it any longer, Yu checked the front door was locked, Yu then made sure the other doors and windows were locked.

But then the Den Den Mushi rang.

There was no way anyone could get in now that her whole house is locked up. To Yu's fear and anger laid bare, she picked up the Den Den Mushi.

"Who is this?! Stop it right now!"

"This is Anana. I'm right behind you now."
