"W-wait. Please.." The soft, Peached-haired girl croaked out on the damp floor. "I don't want to die! Not yet!" Tears fell down her face, but she wasn't able to tell the difference with the rain falling as well.

Above her was a creature. Something supernatural. 1,000 of eyes glazed at her, a mouth that stretched to the floor, rows of teeth moving through the body. She could feel it's breath even from so far away. The warmth contrasting with the cold July rain.

It took another step. Of course, from the outside point of view, it would be wise to run, but she's been running for hours. All the way from her school to this alleyway. It always caught up to her, like prey to a predator. It threw her into this alleyway, knocking all the breath out of her.

She was pretty sure her legs were blistered from her school girl shoes, and her ribcage was definitely cracked, as she coughed out blood.

She looked into one of the eyes. This was really the end. Wasn't it.. shes heard of the stories. Of students who died in her school. A beast travels around, collecting 100 students who were unfortunate enough to be left alone. All a singular life form. It's still looking for 100. She must be one of them.

Amane didn't show up for their meet up. He must of been sick. She didn't blame him for her fate. She may of thought of him, but not in the poor light. She never thought of him in a poor light. Even as she was about to be eaten alive, she still had loved him.

"I never got to tell Amane... that I loved him." She coughed out blood again. "I'll never know if we make it to the moon.. please. I'll never be able to help Amane with his brother. I promised him we would do this together."

Again, the creature took another agonizingly slow step towards her, the sounds of dead children talking all at once, reminding her of a cafeteria, only with the sound of death in their voices.

She knew that she couldn't run, and that even if the creature didn't kill her, she still would probably die of blood loss. She was alone in the ran, looking her fate into the multitude eyes it had.

"I need to let him know.. that we will always be together.." she cried, coughing again, the blood falling out of her mouth in clots.

It was over her. She knew, even with her eyes closed, since the rain had stopped.

The voices all formed to similar words. 100. Finally. Reached. 100. Done. She is final. She is 100.

She was the 100th child. She blanked out on what that meant. She scratched her brain for the rumor.

Those who are the 100th killed get to set all the souls free, and get one wish going into their afterlife, though something about it is that there is a draw back, and it's not always true to every word.

She closed her eyes. "I wish.. That me and Amame, be it his reincarnation and mine, will always stay together. No matter what."

That's why it was hesitant. Not because it wanted to kill her slowly, but because it was waiting for her wish. This is why, almost as soon as she closed her mouth, it's mouth stretched open, killing her swiftly.

Hanako woke up from his little remembrance by Tsuchi, who was looking at him.

"So you think that.. Kusari is a reincarnation?" He asked, looking at her book.

"Yes.. she reminds me so much of my Kusari.. when I heard her name, do you know the emotions that overwhelmed me.."

"I understand. Does she remember anything?"

"She said she's been getting dreams about a boy, and I'm pretty sure it me. Or, uh, Yugi Amane."

Tsuchi nodded, closing his book. "Reincarnation is a strange thing, Yugi."

He said, making him roll his eyes. "I know that, obviously. But that fact that it's like she showed up out of no where with the same name and same look, besides a few things, is hardly coincidental."

"I agree, but even if she is a reincarnation, she's still this present Kusari. You may remember her differently, but she grew up differently then your Kusari."

Hanako sighed. "I wish it was an amnesiac type of thing, where I just tell her things, and she remembers them, and we can live our life together like we always should.. before she got.."

"I'm sorry that it's not. She won't just remember things like that.. maybe create new memories with her. Have her fall back in love with you."

Again, Hanako sighed, standing up. "I think I'm done here."

"Have a good day, Yugi."

He waved his hand before going to his realm. His bathroom. He kept on stirring, so he moved to the other school. He looked all around, and there he saw her, talking to Aoi, Nene, and that blond boy. That smile. It looked like her, that's for sure. Only it would only be for him. He grumbled, but didn't go into the class.

"Oh, Kusari... I wish this was easier.. for me and for you.. I'm sure my Kusari would love to see me right now.." a tear fell down his face. "God I miss her.."
