With Chains.
Author's note: I got bored in some grade and spent the whole year writing it. I was young and into horror. It's not good but I got good reviews.
Hello. I am Chizue Makikio and I'm 16. People call me Chi for
short. I shall tell you my story of "saiyou no basho no". There
were 9 other people. Five girls including me and five boys. The
boys were Akio, Yuiko, Yasuo, Toshi, and Makoto. Akio he was
17, Yuiko was 16, Yasuo, was 16, Toshi had a twin sister, he was
17, Makoto, he was 16 too. The girls were Me, Yuki, Suki, Miya
and Kagami. Yuki, she was 17, Suki, she was 16, Miya was 16,
Kagami she was Toshi's twin, and she was 17. We were all the
best of friends and kept together as a group.
One day in the mall we had meet another girl from school.
Kohana a very nice and calm person who isolated herself from
most others but talked a lot when she had the chance. She had
something important to tell us. "Hey guys! I was looking for you!
Well basically there's this place near the forest that is abandoned
and people think it's haunted and I'm holding a contest to see
who can stay in there the longest and survive because my dad
as you know owns the Harimagi Company and needs a perfectly
budget thingy so he's letting me hold this! Do you waana go?"
We looked at each other questioningly. "OF COURSE YOU
WAANA GO! How stupid of me to ask! So here are the directions
and the picture of the house and rules. I will be watching at all
times and there's a surprise when you get there!! Ohhhhh~ this
is gonna be fun!" Then she shoved a paper in each of our hands.
She started to walk away until she remembered something and
said “Oh! And if you DON'T come then let’s say something bad
happens. Kaayyy? See ya there!" Then she merrily skipped
away. Toshi and Kagami shivered. "Well f*** now we have to
go, unless you’re willing to call her bluff." I said. Yuiko's eyes
gleamed with joy and surprise. "Cool! A 500,000 yen ($5533.50)
prize! "Awesome." we all said in sync. "So Chi you gonna go??"
said Akio in a sort of concerned way. "I will. Sounds fun a week at
uhh... 'nido chansu no saiyou no chuushin' hmm." We continued
our day with our papers hidden from the world forgetting about
them slowly.
The next day came as I started to wake up with the sun
shining gently down on my face and a note on my chest. I
picked it up and unfolded it. "Oh yeah... It's the invite thing."
I said. I folded it back up and threw it somewhere into my
room. I continued life happily until 4 days later. I got a call from
Kohana saying "Tonight's the night~! The night we start our
contest! Will you survive the horrible secrets of the saiyou no
chuushin?" "S***!" I said. Quickly I gathered a weeks’ worth of
clothes and entertainment. Like a portable plug-in t.v., a video
game system with games and my controller everyone else would
bring theirs, my cell phone, my ipod touch and ihome to go with.
Then left my house at 6 p.m. in search of "nido chansu no saiyou
no chuushin".
(Day 1)
30 minutes later I had arrived at the house. The 6th one there.
After 10 minutes every one but Kohana was there and we all
chattered away. Not a care for anything. A limo slowly pulls up
and with help from the butler out emerges Kohana. The limo
drives away and leaves us all here stranded. Then we all started
to walk in.
Everyone got a room and unpacked their things. After we all
meet downstairs for a History talk about the saiyou no chuushin.
In celebration we played a well known children's game. It was fun
Miya's was the oni. She had gotten in the center of the room then
closed her eyes. We formed a circle around her, then we started
to sing the song "Kagome Kagome, Kago no naka no Tori wa.
Itsu Itsu deyaru?" Suddenly the earth started to quake beneath
our feet. Miya opened her eyes and all of ours closed. Everyone
that had made the circle fell onto their knees. Miya screamed high
pitched and loudly. We all fell face first to the ground. After Miya's
long one breath scream the ground stopped. “We are so NOT
playing that game again!” said Kagami. “I know! Freaky how Miya
started the quake and ended It." said Toshi teasingly. "Shut up!"
Miya said aggressively. Then we had all gotten up to our feet. "I
brought the T.V. you guys." I had announced. I hooked up the
TV. I brought games and the game system. We watched TV and
played games for 2 hours. We all started walking to our rooms. It
was a good-ish day. I fell asleep on the lumpy mattress.
I looked around and rubbed my eyes. "Morning already?" It
was pitch black outside. "Guess not" I said shakily. I left the room
and went toward the kitchen. The walls decayed as I walked.
There was no stair case. Only a door, I opened it. I saw a child.
About the age of 6 sitting on the cold floor, she looked up at me
with sapphire eyes. Her hair was in twin drills that were a shade
of blue. The bows that held them together were black with a pink
stripe down the middle. She whispered "Leave now" and
disappeared into thin air. Nothing else, I stood shocked. My
mouth was wide open. I walked to where she once was. I heard
crying. I hid behind a pillar and saw another little child. Only this
one was crying. She had short brown hair and doctors
surrounding her now. "I'm sorry but you have just lost the game
sweety." One of the doctors pulled out a machete. So sharp and
shiny. The little girl tried to crawl away fast but the other doctors
caught her. They kept her kneeling and pulled her head back by
her hair. Another doctor got duck tape and shut her up with it.
The doctor with the machete moved the blade in the moonlight
and smiled. He held it back then swung right for her neck. All the
other doctors moved their hands in time. Slice. Red splattered
against the wall. The child's decapitated body fell to the ground.
Where her tears just where is now black. "Get the next kid." the
doctors said. Then they threw the other child's head in a corner.
The blood was cleaned up swiftly. It looked like nothing had
happen. Then the twin drilled girl from earlier came in. She
looked innocent. In her hand was a worn out teddy with one eye.
They played a game. She won. They said to her "May we borrow
your bear?" Quickly she replied "Never," she backed away. "I saw
what you did!" Then she quickly ran out through the circle. They
sprinted after her and held her up by her arms she struggled to
be free it was no use.
"Let’s keep her she could come in handy."
"Where do we keep her then?"
"In the basement."
Then started they dragged the girl out of the room. I realized
then I was frozen. I tried to move no use. Then I tried to scream.
Nothing, I was stuck. When the girl was finally out of the room
she had dropped her doll in front of me. It was a one eyed teddy.
I went and picked it up. I could move again and it was the little girl
that helped me to see. I followed on the little girls trail. I needed
to talk to her; she has a key I need. I arrived at the basement.
I looked left and right but I couldn't find the little girl. "Hello? Is
somebody there? I heard you!" she had said, obviously scared.
I followed the sound of her voice. "You-You shouldn't be here..."
she said. "Leave now." again she warned me. "I need your
help to do that though." I said. She looked at me curiously then
sighed. "I guess I should tell you. We are linked as one. I am
a child of the house. My name is Kiki. The problem is this isn't
your time. You are a ghost I can only see. Your friends are each
connected to a child in this house. They will not know the things
you will see. It is evil here. Watch out." "Why?" I said. "Just do."
she quietly replied. Her eyes began to water as she looked away.
Something is grasping my neck. It's getting to tight I can't breathe.
Please someone help me. I fell into a pool of blood. I started to
cough like mad. I felt a machete against my neck.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed
and quickly came up from the bed. I looked around. I was still
alive. Everything was normal and I-I was holding her teddy. I
looked at it with more detail. It was purple and dirty. It had a black
hat and scarf. It's one eye still gone. I looked at it from the back.
Blood! I dropped the doll. My hands were covered in the warm
rich feeling liquid. I stopped breathing. Akio rushed in. "CHI!!"
He stood shocked. "What the ... f*** happened?" We were both
breathing heavily. The bed was drenched in the blood. I got
up ran and hugged him. He still sat there in shock. Then soon
after Kagami and Toshi came in. "Oh My GAWD!!" screamed
Kagami. "Woah...” said Toshi. Yasuo also came in. "Chi...You
okay?" he said shaking scared. Makoto stood in the hall. Miya ran
in next along with everyone else. "CHI! THAT'S FREAKY MAN!"
They all stood and stared. I stopped hugging Akio and looked
around. "I-I I didn't do this." I mumbled. I was silent like everything
else. It mocked at me and made others agitated. Miya smiled at
me but I just looked down and started to tear up. I knew how Kiki
had felt. I still needed to know more though. "We will establish
this tomorrow" said Yasuo. "People are just tired it's probably a
mirage thing." said Makoto. "Chi can sleep in my room tonight...if
she wants?" said Akio. “Uhhhhh... Sure that'd be nice." I replied.
Everyone dispersed and left to go back into their deep sleep.
I followed Akio and as we arrived in his room on the bed there
was the teddy. We stood shocked. I ran and grabbed it. Akio
said "Did you put that in here? Wasn't it in your room?" ”I didn't
put it here. I was with you.” I looked at it closely again excepting
there to be blood. Nothing, no blood but still dirty and tore. It was
cute actually. It was fluffy too. I decided to keep it. Akio smiled.
He thought it was funny for a 16 year old to adopt a raggy and old
teddy bear. I didn't care. He set up a bed for me with some extra
things he brought. Peacefully we both fell asleep.
(Day 2)
I woke up in the morning and sunshine danced around
the room. Then I looked over to Akio's bed. He wasn't there.
I sighed. Then I smelt something. It was...Delicious. Mouth
watering...AMAZING! Like an angel tickling my nose. I smiled
and sprinted toward the delectable smell. Out the room, opened
the door, down the hall, I was getting closer. Down the steps
make a left and I was there. The smell of pancakes bacon and
eggs lingered around the room. I smiled as I got 10 warm loving
Hello’s and Good mornings. “Hello All! So what’s for breakfast?”
I said eagerly. “Guess.” Miya said sarcastically. “Awesome food!”
I replied happily. I search around for a place to sit there was one
open I guess Akio had saved for me. Then as I thought about
walking over I saw Kiki. Sitting in my spot! She made a funny
face at me then smiled. I made a face back at her forgetting there
were people in the room. They looked at me like I was a maniac.
Akio just laughed though not judging. I smiled and blushed
brightly. “Sorry. It’s just Ki-“ I almost revealed myself. “I mean the
uh thing was uh yeah. I don’t know. So can I eat?” Akio patted
the seat and just when he did Kiki disappeared. I walked over
happily and attacked the food. It was even better then it smelled!
"Looks like someone was just a little hungry this morning." Yuki
had said. "Maaaaybe...." I said with a smile.
After breakfast I got changed. Then we all meet down
stairs. "Today we have to do SOMETHING!" Yuki said
loudly. "Well there is always Chi's old room..." Suki said with her
words that lingered around. Kagami gulped and had a frightened
look on her face like she had seem a heard of ghost. She had
turned white. "It's okay Suki you don't have to go. I'll stay with
you down here." Her twin had said comfortingly. "Okay." she had
hugged him and dug her face into his chest. He laughed a little.
Then awkwardly in a single file we walked up steps. I got to the
door. Chills ran up my spine when I grabbed the handle. I looked
back and everyone's face looked fearful. Also like they were
anticipated to see it. Slowly I opened the door.
There was no blood that we had seen. It was clean. Perfect,
like my own bedroom from home. "Wow. Chi did you clean up?"
Yukio said sarcastically. "No it's still here. I know it." I replied all
too seriously. I looked around for the blood. I felt it as if it was my
own. My blood was cold and ran all too fast. "There." I said after a
long fearful silence. I pointed to a corner. They all looked to where
I had pointed and slowly their eyes grew wide with horror.
In the corner there was a giant maroon colored blob. It
looked as if it were lashing out. It kept moving like a whip. The
blood became black. It grew and started to cover the walls in the
room. It locked the door. Akio went to the door and tried to open
it. Lights flashed before my eyes. Everything was fuzzy and got
lighter. I fell to the ground. “Oh my god!” someone shouted but it
was too blurry for me to make out who. I couldn’t move something
is wrong. I blacked out.
When I woke up there was no one around me. ‘Huh?’ I
repeated sleepily. Then was a sharp pain in my leg. It pulsated
through me. Paralyzed again, I expected someone like Akio to
come help me. Still there was no one. In the air the smell of blood
and ash lingered. I wanted to follow it. But I couldn’t. I knew where
I was. I was back in Kiki’s time. I wonder if I had disappeared from
my world. Was I still there in the room? What was happing?
Kiki walked slowly towards me. “Chotto!” she replied with
happiness in her voice. “Chotto?” I replied curiously. “So why am
I here this time?” I said to Kiki. “Because I got bored, but I do see
that I saved your life!” she still seemed happy. Then to put the
cherry on top she innocently smiled and laughed. I looked at her
curiously. “Oh right, the paralyzed leg thing, sorry.” I could feel
my legs again and the rest of myself. “Follow me!” she started to
dance away. I started to limp after her. It’s a weird feeling being
paralyzed then un-paralyzed. It was so hard to move for now. She
kept moving so fast. I could barely keep up. “Come on slow poke!”
she said jumping around. I ran towards her. I had finally reached
her and I was out of breath. She opened a door. I lingered in. It
was so nice and peaceful in here. There were 10 kids 1 teacher.
5 little boys and 4 little girls the teacher was also a girl. She was
sitting reading them a story. Kiki followed in and closed the door.
“Hello Kiki. Welcome Back.” The teacher had said. She had
a sweet voice. It sounded like an angel’s. “Thank you Mama!” Kiki
had replied. The kids warmly opened up a spot for her in their half
circle. She smiled and she had continued reading to the children.
They really seemed nice. A little boy raised his hand. “Can I
go now? I can’t keep still here forever!” He called out. My first
thought well there’s Yuiko’s linked child. “Hush now Keiji. You can
pick the next activity.” The teacher said. I looked at all the kids.
They were so happy. How was this place evil?
The teacher finished reading and stared in my direction. Kiki
looked at me too. I looked confused. All kids slowly started to look
at me. Then the teacher smiled and waved good bye. The kids
mimicked her actions. I smiled and waved curiously. Little did I
know I was turning into pixels and disappearing from my feet up.
“Chi? Are you awake?” I heard. It was still to fuzzy for me to
make out whom. “She’s awake!”A girl said. “Shhhhhhh!” another
person said. “What?” I replied. “Chi!!” I felt a tight warm hug and
tears flowing to my shoulder but they weren’t mine. I yawned and
blinked a couple of times. I put my head on the person’s
shoulder. “Do you know how badly you scared us?!” Toshi said.
Akio said to him “Shut up! She awake now right?! Isn’t that all that
matters!?” I realized then Akio was the one holding me. He
looked me in the eye and felt my forehead. Quickly he took his
hand away. “She’s burning hot. Someone get ice or something.”
He said seriously. He then picked me up like a child. I was too
weak to get up on my own but I didn’t want him holding me. I
whispered “Can I has some ramen?” He laughed but I was
seriously hungry. “Pleaaasee.” I begged. “Okay, but first you
need to get better. You look pretty bad.” He said. With that
Kagami came up with a bag of ice. Akio gently placed me down
on his bed and put the ice on my head. Then everyone left the
room. Right outside I heard “Grrrrr,” then someone hitting their
face “‘you look pretty bad?’ Who in the right mind would say that
to a girl!? I’m so stupid!” I figured it was Akio, when will he learn
already. I sighed and then rolled my eyes. I knew i was not going
to sleep. I couldn't and I certainly would NOT! I had to figure out
the truth why did Kiki call that lady "Mama" if this is a saiyou no
chuushin? How did she make them all that happy? Why were
there doctors? In the beginning Kohana had lied to us about the
saiyou no chuushin, but why? I hate that word now. It's too
confusing, because it’s all I wanted to. The stupidest little word. It
mocked me as I thought of any possible answer that could make
ANY sense at all!
When nothing came to mind I decided to take the ice off my
head. It was starting to hurt anyways. I sat up and used the wood
wall as a support. I was still too weak to get up. There was no
noise though. I tried standing up for the first time. It felt like I was
as light as a feather but my feet were 10 million weights trying to
keep me down. I couldn't let it keep me down though. I stood all
the way up and I was feeling better. I let go of the wall and almost
fell but I put my hands out like a balance and kept up. It was really
weird how this worked. I kept them out and walked out of the
room. I stopped keeping my arms out and felt normal now that
I left that boring man cave. I went down the steps. No one was
awake; they all had fallen asleep on the cushions. I giggled at the
sight. Then slowly I took a key and I tip toed over to the door and
left.
When I got outside it was snowing. I smiled at the sight; it
was pure white and the stars in the sky shown like fire flowers. I
walked out of the house and towards the gate. My hair slowly got
covered in snow. It gently floats to every item showing. I opened
the shiny black gate with care and head out. I was still hungry so
with the little yen I had in my pocket i went to the nearest ramen
shop.
I ordered a small but got a large in return. "I'm sorry. I don't
have enough to pay you for that." I said shyly. "That's okay a
young man said he'd bought it for you." said the man behind
the counter. I looked to my left and at the far end of the counter
was a young man. Dark black hair and stunning hazel eyes. I
started for awhile and started to blush. He slowly started to look
at me. "EPP!" and I quickly looked away. My face was really red!
I felt his gaze upon me. I looked at the ramen and picked up the
cup. Slowly and carefully looking at the cup I walked up to him. I
looked up at him and sat beside him. I pushed the cup towards
him. "Huh?" he replied. His voice melted into my brain it was
perfect! "You bought this right?" I said stuttering like a fool. "Yes I
did. You looked hungry." he said sweetly.
“Well I am but well you bought it, and it's really big so you can
have some."
"Thank you but I've been here awhile so I'm not that hungry."
"Oh well you sure?"
"Positive Enjoy!" he smiled brightly. "Thanks Uhhhhh uhmm
Name?"
"Oh! Right I'm Kyo, nice to meet you."
“Hello. I are Chizue~ but call me Chi!"
He blushed a little. We talked the night away. The ramen was
finished. As we were about to leave I tipped the man at the
counter and so did Kyo.
We held hands as we walked away from the stand. We talked
like no tomorrow and I kept my head on his shoulder. The streets
we walked on were dead in the night. No person was awake at
this hour that we knew of until a person passed us. Then the
person stopped turned around and faced me. "Chi!" the words
exclaimed happily from the mystery person. It was Akio. "Who the
hell is this?" Akio was really surprised. "I'm Kyo, and if you don't
mind we were on our way." Akio grabbed my arm tightly. Kyo
look at Akio surprised. God what a better time Akio could have
had. "Chi I've been looking for you. You're sick. You need to get
home." I sighed, Please don't let this become fight. "She's just
fine. I treated her to ramen and we've been walking for an hour
nothing bad has happened. Chill dude." Kyo said defensively.
Akio was quick to tug me away from him and throw me into his
own arms. The anger was intense; it lingered in the air around the
two. I was waiting for the snow to melt around us. I began to feel
litterer by the second like I was just a prize to win to them. “Can
we please go?” I pleaded. “Chi shut up for 5 seconds I need to
teach this guy some manners.” Akio said. Then he threw me to
the side and I landed in a snow pile. “If you can touch me.” Kyo
said tauntingly.
Then just as a flash both Akio and Kyo charged at each
other, they slammed each other in the face with their fist. Blood
ran down from the injuries they had received as they slid from
impact and running. They both got up and panted looking at each
and only each other. I still sat there in terror. Blood paint both
their faces and the ground. They slowly started going for each
other until I winced and turned into a ball I couldn’t watch it.
Everything turned black and white like an old movie. I looked up
and they were frozen as was the falling snow. Nothing but me
moved. I poke a snowflake and it disintegrated and I stood
shocked. Kiki appeared beside me with a kitsune mask on and a
katana. I knew it was her by her hair. I looked at her curiously. I
guess behind the mask she smiled because then lighting fast she
made me sit back down in that same spot like earlier and cut
Kyo’s and Akio’s ankles, then their faces twice. I sat shocked by
her actions. Then she took of the mask and threw it at me. It
landed in my lap. It was sprayed a little with their blood and time
restarted. They both fell to their knees as blood flowed out of
them like a waterfall. Face first on the ground they lie in pain. It
was a red waterfall that poisoned the snow turning it to a pure red
color. I panicked then saw Akio’s scarf. I ran to it and ripped it into
4 pieces. I tied two of them on Akio’s ankles. Then I rushed over
to Kyo and wrapped two on his cuts. He gave me his cell phone
and then dropped his hand weakly into the blood covered snow. I
called 911.
They sent an ambulance that arrived late. The boys had
passed out from blood loss and the snow covered the red that
chilled me to the bone. It was now a part of the earth and would
be forever. As the ambulance drove away I picked up the kitsune
mask. I looked at it puzzled, its design was perfect as well as the
shape texture, everything. Why would Kiki have this? There’s that
word again. “Why?” it haunted me for hours as I walked silently to
the hospital with the mask in my hand.
I asked the lady at the desk what room they were in. She
said 586; I thanked her and started up to their room. I wasn’t
shocked when I walked in and the curtain separated them. I kind
of giggled at it.
I checked on Akio first. He was sleeping and everything
looked fine on his heart beat thing and all. I looked at him one last
time before checking on Kyo and he grabbed me by the neck and
held me close to his chest. I started to silently flip! He wouldn’t let
go of me! I sighed and he slept talk and said “Shhhh, Chi its okay
you don’t have to cry. I’ll always be here.” God he dreamed about
me too what’s next a shrine? I slipped out from his grasp.
Then I walked over to Kyo’s side of the room. He was
fully awake. “Chotto” He said. I jumped. “Chotto” I replied. “Here’s
your phone back and I took it out of my pocket and handed it to
him. “Thanks” he replied. “So why are you awake already?” I
asked trying to continue the conversion slowly. I was bored and
puzzled, I didn’t understand what was happening at the house but
Kyo just made everything better. I know I just met him but I forgot
about everything that happened when I was with him. I was at
ease. “Well when you came in the door was pretty loud. Plus I
heard you struggling from Akio. God only knows what HE dreams
of. What’s his problem anyways?” “Well. Me and Akio go way
back, we were at a festival together and then we found a tent, we
went in and found a lady. She gave us matching necklaces but
little did they know they were magic and told us of how we feel
about each other. His glowed bright red and brighter, mine
however was a little dimmer, but still the same shade was. She
took it back and told us to join hands. We did as told and we
looked into each other eyes. We were blushing and smiling as a
warm sensation flowed in an eight around our hand and united us
as one. Making us destines for marriage but I didn’t believe it I
didn’t want to. He did all too much though, he grew more
attached to me and protective and I didn’t like him I really just
think he’s getting too clingy and all…since then. And so yeah
basically that it’s really stupid and there’s more im just
embarrassed.” There was a brief silence. “Wow. Is he uhh?” then
Kyo impersonated a special person. I laughed because he looked
so funny, then he stopped and quieted me down. “Don’t forget
your lover is still sleeping!” Kyo whispered jokingly.
We were talking for the longest time. It was great and I
forgot about all my troubles. Until I heard Akio waking up, my first
reaction was to shut up Kyo I didn’t mean to but I covered his
mouth and slowly mouthed “He’s waking up!” Kyo nodded and
smiled, I let go of his mouth. I tip toed to the middle point between
the curtains trying to go to the chair by the door until Kyo
screamed the loudest and most frightening scream that scared
the living hell out of me! I jumped and landed on Akio’s chest.
Then Akio was fully awake and I was blushing red while Kyo over
there was laughing his ass off. He knew exactly what happened
but he open the curtain and looked anyways. It was hilarious to
him. Akio smiled and hugged me. He was really happy but Kyo
fell out of his bed, I didn’t understand why I only fell on top of him.
Turns out Akio was a little happier than I thought and my skirt
was no trouble for him. I smacked him across the face and got
up. God like I said he never learns. I thought of how I could scare
them both. My first thought was Kiki. I smiled evilly at the thought.
Kyo got a glimpse of me smiling and his eyes grew wide with
fear. I slowly turned my head towards him but I noticed he was
too concentrated on what was behind me. I giggled Kiki was
beside me and was making the mask from earlier float from the
chair to me. Then to top it off she possessed me which is weird
and put the mask on me/her and says in her own
voice “sayounara watashi noanatani onii-sama” Then all I heard
was THUMP, GASP, and the sound of air as if it was going really
fast. I saw Kiki’s feet and then I had realized I fell on the ground,
Kyo and Akio both gasped but then Kiki charged after them. I
watched thinking don’t kill them! She fazed through them making
them go to sleep. “Wow.” I sighed. Now I was stuck with two
sleeping people god. It took awhile but I picked them up and
dropped them in their hospital beds and tucked them in. The
nurse had came in and said “visiting hours are over.” “Arigato.”
She led me out of the hospital and I walked back to the horrible
place I had to live in for 5 more days.
When I got there I felt horrible. I was hungry and cold and
bored, so I cooked up dangos for my dessert then walked up
stairs and froze. The scent of blood seemed stained in the halls.
Why couldn’t I smell it before? Is this another one of Kiki’s
flashbacks? I got a pounding migraine and fell straight to the
ground and curled in a ball. It hurt more than the fires of hell
burning in my brain. I knew it was the blood scent that did this so
I crawled to a wall and used it as a balance to get back up. Then I
used my shirt as a mask, the migraine didn’t hurt at much then. I
tried walking downstairs again but it almost made me fall down
the steps so I walked the other way. Every “wrong” step I took the
migraine hurt worse. When it completely stopped hurting I had
reached Yuki, Suki and Miya’s room. Something wasn’t right so I
looked in and I was right.
I looked in at the room and I was so shocked. Yuki’s bed
was over by the wall, there was a light over it and a picture on the
back wall. Suki’s bed was against that wall with another picture
over that bed. Miya’s bed though was “different” it wasn’t under
a light but there once was a light there and her wall had blood
dripping everywhere. Miya was under most of her covers. There
was no blood on the bed. The one picture fell on Suki’s and made
her head bleed. “Owwwwwww!!” she yelled out loud. It woke Yuki
and it scared the living s*** out of me! “Really!?” I yelled.
“I was sleeping!”
“I’m sorry! That just really hurt though.”
“Well your bleeding, Miya’s wall is covered in blood and it’s-.”
I got cut off then. They had looked already though. They
were straight up shocked in their bed and I was just looking as
the silence was even worse than earlier. I turned around and saw
Miya had a huge blood stain on her pajamas and was floating
behind me. In her hand was a blade. Her eyes were white, looking
dull but together her expression said death is coming for you. She
looked horrible, with wrinkles around her lips and underneath her
eye lid. It was puffy, saggy, old-looking, weird, disgusting, and
scary, all at the same time. I jumped backwards when I first saw
her and fell on my ass. I was breathing deeply and then I noticed
there was already blood on the blade. It was her own for gripping
it to tight on the actual blade part. It was old, rusty and stank of
blood. I backed away still on the floor though then she swung at
my neck and missed by a hair. I stopped breathing and got up
and ran to a wall it was the only place to go. I couldn’t hear myself
think. Everything was spinning Yuki, Suki where are you…help
me please. I can’t feel anything, am I flying? It feels so, like no
gravity is there to keep me down but I felt like barfing. I fell to
the ground being the klutz I am (did you realize it yet?). I looked
up and there still stood Miya, the new Miya distorted and ugly. I
shook in fear of her with blade in hand she drew it back. I closed
one of my eyes not wanting it to end but wanting to see it.
I sat the as she took the blade and shoved it through her
own stomach and twisted it. Blood showered over me. It was
delightfully warm and yet scary. I couldn’t take it all in she killed
herself. Thud! She fell; I crawled over to her and pulled the blade
out of her. I threw it across the room and looked at her. She
returned to her normal old self. I wept on her as she died slowly
on the floor. I couldn’t have saved her. I cried myself to sleep on
her cold lifeless body knowing she would never return.
(Day 3)
Early morning I woke up. Everyone was still soundly asleep
and I was on the hard wood floor drenched in blood. I walked
around to find some hope there was still someone here. Miya
was now dead and blood still stained in the halls I looked into
Yukio’s room to see if even he was still alive. Nope not even
him. The room was painted with blood but no body and a bloody
rusty blade. I looked at the blade and noticed it was a blade that
had a handle that was so familiar. It was the doctors from Kiki’s
time; they still roamed the halls and had killed off Miya and Yukio.
Every other room was blank until I approached the last room. I
walked in slowly and carefully, the floor boards creaked loudly.
When I walked in the room was bright and multi colored.
There was 6 kids laughing and smiling in a circle. It was so
peaceful in there. I was so serine. I lingered into the room a little
more. The all warmly greet me but Kiki was nowhere to be found.
Also some other kids from before were missing like Yukio’s linked
child. I was uneasy, I had that feeling of something’s gonna go
down soon, and it isn’t going to be pretty. Still though something
urged me to keep going into the room, I did as I thought I should.
When I got in everyone ran up and hugged me joyfully. One of
them looked up and said “We’ve been waiting a long time for you
Chi!” They cheered so happily. It was as if the nuclear war was
over. I didn’t speak but they grabbed my hands and joined their
own. They brought me over to a table. It was small round and
brightly colored. I sat on the floor around the table like all of the
kids there. “Drink tea with us Chi!”
“Yes please do!”
“Enjoy dangos to!”
“And ramen!”
“The severs will be out in a second Chi!”
The all called out something. I thought it was really cute, all
the little kids were so happy. Then the severs came out with 4
plates, a drinking glass, and a bottle. "Enjoy! This is our gift to
you!" they all said at once. Knowing me that's exactly what I did. It
was so delicious. All the food kept coming and coming but I had
not taken a sip of my drink yet. It smelled sweet and enticing but
the color of the drink was a dark purple. I desperately needed a
drink so I took a little sip. It tasted like heaven and felt so smooth.
It was plain out addicting I needed more! "Kyaaaaa~!! It tastes so
yummy!" I couldn't help parading. It was just so perfect. I drank
the drink by the cups. 1 cup, 3 cups, 5 cups, 8 cups, 20 cups I
drank in total!
All the kids were looking and giggling looking so innocent. I
smiled politely back. I got light headed. My eyes were heavy but I
couldn’t close them. I felt like puking and I realized my head was
swaying a little. “I-I think the drink was bad.” I struggled to get up
from sitting on the floor. “It’s not bad, we just poisoned it.” said
one of the kids. I stood shocked, “wha..?” I was too tired to speak.
I almost fell to the floor; I stood up wobbling and shaking. They
wanted revenge for something. That I knew but I didn’t
understand what had happened, or why. I was standing still
shaking and holding the walls “Wh- Why? What did I do?” I
managed to barley say. “It’s what you will do. It’s nothing we want
happening, so we plan to kill you.” I was still shock struck from
earlier. I stumbled to the door. I fell down and hurt my shin. I
couldn’t get up this time. Something was wrong with it. I was on
the floor pulling at the door. It was jammed, it wouldn’t budge.
The kids started to close in on me. I fell completely on the floor
my eyes half open. Was this my atonement for some wrong
action I had done wrong? I passed out from the pain and shock.
In my dream I was falling. I never stopped I was falling
towards a light. I realized I was wearing a different outfit, it was a
white dress. It had a beautiful pattern that seemed like a vine and
crawled around the dress. It came up to my knee and hugged my
torso a little. Breathing was becoming harder, but still I was falling
into the bright white light. My hair was flowing gently in the wind
as I thought about my whole life. A blue light surrounded me. It
was beautiful, just as it did I reached the bright light.
(Day 4)
Then I was awake, and gladly alive.
I looked around the room everything was white. My head
was spinning, I felt horrid. My stomach started to cramp and the
pain was killer. There were white pills on the white table next to
me. I didn’t take them, I don’t trust it. It may not be worth it. I sat
in the bed I was on in the first place. It seemed like a hospital. I
closed my eyes and consternated on the whiteness of the room. It
was just too dull.
When I opened my eyes it looked like a rainbow attacked.
There was a plus on the door that was red, the pills were red on
the top and blue on the bottom, how original, then there was the
table that was wood colored but light wood colored. The blanket
I had was white; my only thought was wow how sad. The floor
though was red BRIGHT red. I sat up straight and cracked my
back. Everything felt right and normal. I stood up to really see
where I was. I started to walk away from the comfortable bed until
I almost slipped. I fell then caught myself on a wall. I didn’t notice
anything at first. I thought I was still drugged from those kids. I
used the wall and walked to the door and left the little room.
I got out and saw a lot of nurses and a desk. Yep that was
defiantly a hospital I thought.
“Excuse me nurse which hospital am I at?”
“You’re at the one hospital with Kyo and Akio. They told me to say
that to you.”
“Ohh? Thanks then?”
I left to go to Kyo and Akio’s room. I wonder how they were
getting along. I hope they were fine and then I got to their room,
CRASH BANG POW SHATTER! Oh lord what could ever so
possible be happing.
I slowly opened the door and they were on the floor cracking
up pissing themselves (not literally though). Their room was
a disaster! Uneaten food, empty containers, sauce, popped
balloons, mystery fluids everywhere! “EWWW!!” I screamed.
Akio stopped laughing and sat up straight shocked. Kyo though
laughed so hard he couldn’t even hear me. Kyo was purple from
laughing so hard it looked like he was about to s*** himself from
laughing so hard. “I’m a little afraid to ask but what the f*** did
you guys do to this place!?” I said commandingly. Kyo was almost
done laughing and Akio looked around in shame. I sighed thinking
why I came here again. I looked at the floor and it was white with
some of the tiles being green blue yellow and rarely any red. I
looked back from where I had walked and saw a bright red path
follow me. I was in complete shock Akio started looking at me like
something was wrong. I felt as if something was. I was going to
faint. Kyo fixed himself and finally realized I was here and caught
on fast that I’d been there awhile. I didn’t know what I missed that
was so funny but it finally was old to him. Akio and Kyo made eye
contact and had spoken words without their voices.
Kyo quickly cleaned off one of their beds and returned it to
normal hospital standards. Akio picked me up and held me like a
baby. I tried to stay awake but it got harder and harder to do so.
My eyelids were heavy I heard few words from them. “That’s not
suited for Chi!”
“It’s all we can do now!”
“But Chi is a princess and needs to be treated as one it’s not
suitable.”
“You can watch her, then if it’s so unsuitable and tell me what to
get.”
“Uhhm Okay!”
They place me down and listed items to get for me. I didn’t
need them one of them was like a fleece blanket but in an ocean
blue color nothing else because it “complements my eyes”. There
was a lot of other stuff to but it was a long list. I could tell it was
Akio who was watching me. He sat next to me while I laid in the
hospital bed. I rested my head on his chest since he took all the
pillows. He was surprisingly warm. He wrapped his arms around
me and smiled. It was like having an electric blanket wrapped
around you only it was a really close friend. I feel asleep in his
arms.
I gently awoke and yawned. The hospital room was still
and quiet. I had a blanket over me the blue one. Akio was still
holding me though and Kyo fell asleep in the other bed. The room
was still a mess and they were leaving. I had to get out of Akio’s
grasp. I didn’t want to wake him up though. I grabbed a giant
teddy they got for me and substituted it for me. Now I had to clean
there room and help them.
I recycled everything that could be and trashed the rest. I
wonder how everyone at the house was. I tied up the trash and
put it in the hall way. Then I scrubbed the floor and washed the
windows. I organized all of their things and left yen for the broken
things I couldn’t fix. Once I finished cleaning I got back into Akio’s
arms and fell back asleep. You couldn’t have blamed me it was a
cold morning.
In my dream I was wearing that white dress again. It was snowing
and I was bare foot. I felt like someone else though. I walked
around the dead streets. The lights were on and no one was
home. I felt my hair bouncing so I knew I wasn’t myself. I’d never
have my hair up. It’s weird I know but I had to find out who was I?
I walked a little faster and stopped when I found a shop.
It was a pastry shop. I looked into the glass. I was Kiki but
I hadn’t known what happened to her. I haven’t seen her for
days or her bear. The baker came out of the shop and saw me
staring. “Shoo! Shoo away with you! You dirty child!” her yelled
at me. I ran away from the baker. I stopped in front of a toy shop.
I started to look in there was a purple bear with a black hat and
scarf. It was in a bin saying “Clearance”. I was cold and shivering.
The shop keeper saw me and invited me in. He gave me the
teddy and a blanket.
“Tha-Thank you kind sir. How shall I repay you?”
“Can you do me a small favor and deliver these 6 letters to
the Bakery, Deli, Flower Shop, Hat Shop, Book Store, and
Orphanage. Okay?”
“Yes, thank you again!”
“No problem little girl.”
I left to go deliver the letters. The bakery was close so I went
there first. I approached it like before and the baker came out
again. “What are you doing here? Scram! Go! Leave!” he yelled
violently. I waited for him to be done. I calmly walked over to the
man and said plainly “This is from the Toy man. He said give
this to you.” I was scared. He looked confused and gently took
the letter from my cold hand. He slowly opened it and skimmed
through the letter. His face grew with surprise. He quickly rushed
back into his store. I slowly started to walk away. “Wait little girl
take this!” he said warmly with a smile. He offered me a warm loaf
of fresh bread and a basket to put it in. “Good luck little one.” He
said. “Thank you!” I replied generously. I broke off the tip of the
bread and ate it on my way to the deli.
I turned left and right looking for the deli. It took me 15
minutes but it felt like an hour. When I approached the shop I had
only about ¾ of the bread left. A man came out from the shop. He
was puzzled. He went back into his shop and got a giant sausage
link. He gave it to me and took his letter then left me.
I shrugged it off and ate some of the sausage. I left to go to
the flower shop. I was getting thirsty so I stuck out my tongue and
swallowed some of the snow flakes. I arrived at the flower shop
and a frail old lady came out.
“Hello Dear, How may I assist you?”
“This is from the toy man.”
I handed her the letter. “Why thank you.” she said. “You’re
welcome.” I replied. “Wait here,” she continued, “I’ll get you
some nice … and these will help too!” Her voice faded as she
prepared her gifts. It was so nice that everyone was being so
kind. She came back out with a bouquet of flowers. “Wow, they’re
beautiful ma’am!” I said. It was art wrapped up into a bunch of
flowers. “Hurry along and go to the last 3 stops. Good Luck!” she
called out. I hurried along and thought nothing of the words.
When I got to the hat shop it seemed closed. There was
no light on and I knocked but there was no reply. I slid his mail
through the door crack. A hat appeared in front of me with the
words “Good Luck” on a piece of paper attached to the black of
the hat. It was a gray hat that was normal but matched well with
what I had collected.
Now I started marching away to the book shop. My bread
was getting cold but half way done and the sausage was
disappearing to. It was neatly put into the basket the baker had
given me. The bread somewhat peeking out, the sausage next
to it and the flowers sat on the opposite side the teddy rested in
the middle. I was wearing the hat and the blanket. I had reached
the book shop when an old man came out and gave me a book.
No words he spoke. In return he snatched his letter and rushed in
like something was about to kill him. I placed the book behind the
teddy.
I continued on to the final destination. It was the orphanage.
I got to the huge sleek and shiny fence. I pushed a door open and
hesitantly wandered in. I looked around the garden. It was pretty
amazing how it looked. I thought it would look even better with
some care in the summer.
I approached the door scared. I rang the door bell and
waited. Then the huge door started to become ajar. I saw a lady
appear. She wore a night gown and slippers.
“Hello. Are you an orphan?”
“No ma’am I live with a great family but here is a letter for
you. It’s from the toy man.”
“Why thank you, such a sweet little girl. Come in.”
“I can’t momma told me not to go into other people’s houses
without an adult whom I full know.”
“It’s okay I just wanted to give you a little tea you seemed
parched with only eating bread and sausage.”
“Well I sort of am.”
“Come in, Come in!”
I nodded and followed the woman in. She seemed nice and
welly mannered. I sat down in a chair and she did too. Some
severs brought us tea and sugar cubes. We talked for a long
amount of time about my family and future. I was going to help the
world with the intelligence my parents would have prepared me
with. I don’t know what happened but I think I fell asleep.
(Day 5)
I woke up and I was me again. It felt great to be 16 again instead
of 6. I wonder how the story ended. I looked at my surroundings.
I was back at the house. The little saiyou no chuushin whom
secrets lie in the decaying walls. I screamed "AHHHHHHHH! MY
STUFF IS STILL AT THE HOSPITAL!!" Akio slid by the door and
then walked in.
"S*** Really?!"
"YESSS!!"
"I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!"
"Fix it!! Pleaaaasseee."
"Okay we'll leave now."
"One minute I have to get changed"
He sighed and walked out. I smiled and started digging through
me clothes from something cute and fresh to wear. I put away the
dirty clothes and began to walk out of the room until I thought of
the teddy. I then jumped onto the bed grabbed the teddy and then
left. When I found Akio we left tthe house and started towards the
hospital. We made a left turn instead of a right.
"Uhh, Akio I think we’re going the wrong way."
"No we aren't"
"But the hospital was the other way."
"I know." He said with a smile. "Close your eyes and get on
my back." he said happily. I was puzzled but did as he said. After
about fifteen minutes he put me down on the ground. "Okay open
your eyes!" he said. I slowly opened my eyes. When I looked I
saw a huge building. It was unbelievable! I was blown away by it;
it was like 2,000 stories high!
He grabbed my hand and presented proudly "Welcome
to Ometesando Hills!" My jaw dropped, it was the mall. "Why
did you take me here?" I asked. "New clothes." he plainly said.
I sighed "I'm not going shopping, I don't want to and you can’t
make me." "Too bad I guess" he said then he picked me up
and slung me over his back. "You suck" I said. He just walked
Right into the mall. We stayed in there as nothing that eventful
happened. He picked me out some clothes made me try it on
nothing I care about to tell you. As we were leaving the mall
though all the electricity blew out.
There was a giant steel ball above me. This was a decoration
though and it had many holes and looked like it was made with
pipes or many rings put together. They put lighting on the thing so
at night it would sparkle and light up the mall a little more. It fell on
me and I was stuck. I couldn't move it I couldn't get out the only
hole I could get through is the one that got me stuck in it but I was
glad I was alive. Akio looked frighten scared and totally blank.
Nothing moved it was so still and quiet. I stopped breathing. Two
figures appeared in front of me. It was Yuki and Suki but then
there were two more it was Miya and Yuiko. My eyes were tearing
up as I looked deeply at them. The 3 girls were wearing tattered
night gowns that were bloody and old. Yukio was wearing a suit. I
backed up father towards the other side of the cage.
I turned around, still nothing moved and all I saw was the
complete circle of 5 other little kids surrounding me. There was
a couple that looked like twins they had something chained and
bound. It was motionless as they dragged it through the dead
frozen halls of the mall. My vision wouldn't stay focused and I
was scared. I was totally numb with no way out the situation and
all I had wanted for it to all disappear I needed a hero now Akio
wouldn't even bother though he couldn't if he tried. The children
stayed into the dark and hummed a soothing song. It was just
enchanting. I felt like I was floating. I couldn't tell though my eyes
were too heavy to keep open and I quite frankly didn't want to.
As some random person told me once "It's better to be stupid
the truth kills the world". I just fell back and felt like I was dying
peacefully. I almost saw the light until I heard the rattling of dirty
rusted chains.
I saw nothing but bleak dark black as I kept my eyes
shut not a care for the world. My head ached with the thought of
my end coming soon. The bleakness I saw soon became a shade
of blue. My eyes forced open to watch what was happening. The
bound thing was floating and surrounded by the blue light. It
wailed out a high pitched screech that seemed from the dawns of
hell. It was Kiki as she float mid air so did I. The thought of yelling
came to mind but I couldn’t I still couldn’t even breathe. It didn’t
serve as a problem though. I was cold, freezing really but no
goose bumps or anything. Kiki helplessly fell to the ground and
landed with a huge thud. I gently floated down on to my feet.
When I got to the ground and on my feet I stumbled onto the back
of the cage. I hit myself hard against it and fell. I thought I saw
more people and then soon realizing I did. There were more
people. They were doctors and they slowly crept behind the
children. I watched all of this happen. They pulled out there sharp
blades one by one in a synchronized order. Up they threw there
shining blades. They had thrashed them down almost too
violently. It was a pleasure they felt as they committed their horrid
deed that lingered in the air. The next thing I saw was another
shinning light flash by bouncing off the walls. The doctors and the
remains of the children, gone. Something sliced the cage right in
front of me. Time started moving forward again. Akio was by me
and I was standing in shock as I realized who was in front of me.
It was Kyo! He looked so irritated like he had a horrible day. I
stood silent as tensions raised fast. Kyo took my hand and
dragged me away from Akio. Akio followed behind and yelled at
Kyo for awhile until he pulled a gun on him and plainly said “Shut
up.” My eyes grew wide with horror. What was he going to do?
He kept pulling me as I just walked in fear. Akio stayed in that
same spot with all my bags. Kyo murmured “I’m sorry.” His eyes
looked pleading like all he needed was forgiveness.
“You saw all that didn’t you; the lights, the scream, those
doctors and the chains?”
“Yes I did, do you know what it means?”
“It has to do with that place your staying at. I’ll show you.”
He kneeled down and I jumped on his back as he dashed
off from the corner of my eye I saw Akio concerned and
disappointed. Before I knew it we were at the house. I jumped
off his back and calmly walked in with him. Toshi’s dead body
lay cold on the floor. Blood all of the stair case we figured he had
fallen and died. Just then BANG BANG Kagamine appeared at
the top of the steps. Gun in hand she dashed down the steps and
confronted us panting. “The… Damn b****… Kohana turned…
Run!” Kyo and I went to the kitchen. We were greeted by blood
stained walls and a drenched dead body; bullet holes made
through the decaying walls shinning a light into the next room
and the outdoors. The body was Makoto’s. All my held tears were
about to over flow. I had almost nothing left it was only me Akio,
Kyo, Makoto, and Kagamine. From what she had said Kohana
turned on us. I fell into Kyo and cried, anything I could have ever
possibly had anything was gone. All chances at a happy life with
someone as a friend faded into a state of no sanity. I felt the
guns end against my head. I let go of Kyo and grabbed the gun.
I snatched it from the person and swung violently. Beating them
to the ground and destroying everything out of anger. They were
halfway dead until I realized it was Makoto. He couldn’t speak any
more. I felt horrible. He panted barley breathing.
“I-I’m sorry I didn’t know it was you. May you join the others
and live in a happier place.”
Just then I shot him dead. Kyo just lead me to a door in the
kitchen. Then we went down a flight of steps. It was the basement
and there in the middle was a giant metal machine surrounded by
skeletons run by children’s brains. “They had sold this place over
to some twisted scientist. They called and believed themselves
to be doctors. They built this machine from all the children’s pain
and lives, so as this machine stands so there memory of pain
and death remains. Wanting them to get revenge, and you you’re
the target, the strongest of them all.” Kyo explained “I need to
help me tear it all down.” Click. “I can’t let you do that.” Kohana
had said. Holding her gun to Kyo’s head she was at the perfect
point. “See I’m related to the doctors and apart of them. This is a
great creation only missing one part. Chi. It needs her to create a
new generation but without her it is nothing.” A tear gently glided
down my cheek. Kagamine burst through the door “Got cha!”
she exclaimed. Kohana smiled evilly “Then shoot.” Kagamine
started to shake. Kohana turned around and laughed. Squeezing
her eyes shut they both pulled the trigger. They both shot each
other dead a straight head shot. Kyo turned his head Akio came
downstairs.
“Chi your okay right?”
“I’m fine.”
“Good.” He said.
“So Chi, will you help me?”
I closed my eyes. “I,” my words lingered. “won’t” I was forced
to say. Kiki had appeared in front of me visible to them too. We
both cried at the same time. I fell to the floor as Kiki looked up
at them. Her eyes glowed with anger. “Everything here took my
future away from me. I intend to take all yours.” With that she took
her katana in hand and shoved it through Akio. Twisting it she got
showered in blood loving the cries of pain. Kyo sat with me. I told
him to go. He said “What about you?” I replied “I’ll be fine.” With
that he escaped. As for myself I grabbed a gun from my dead
friends hand and shot myself. Everyone else had moved on into
the light but I stayed with the children in their pain. Waiting for the
next victims I wrote on the walls in the basement…
“There is no light tonight.
The darkness swallows all whole.
Enclosed and caged now,
Forever.
Please play with us.
We would love to keep you.”
