Rikka awoke in a cold sweat. It was still dark outside.
She looked towards the clock on her wall. 3:30am.
She had dreamt about Mana...
Settling down with Mana, marrying her, showing the world how much she loves her.
But then the dream began to fall apart. Regina replaced Rikka, and what she wished was true became nothing but fleeting dreams.
'I should have been faster...'
It was her fault Regina had gotten to Mana first. It was her fault they were dating.
An intense pain suddenly shot through Rikka's heart.
'I'm jealous...'
The door to her bedroom slowly opened.
———
"Regi! Come on, get up! Apparently a Jikochuu has been sighted!"
Regina quickly opened her eyes and shot up, looking around. Mana was already dressed, ready to stop this threat.
"I'm up... I'm up." She grumbled.
Mana looked at her phone. A missed call from Makoto.
The leader of the Precure pressed the call button on her name. Her friend quickly answered.
"Mana! Get Rikka. All of us have been trying to call her but it just goes straight through to voicemail!"
Makoto's voice sounded slightly distressed. Regina gave a concerned glance to her girlfriend. "I'll go get Rikka... you get over to the others."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm certain!" She exclaimed with a smile. Mana nodded and once Regina was ready they both dashed out the front door.
Regina went left, towards Rikka's house, and Mana went right.
"Wait for me-sharu!" Cried Sharuru.
Alice had sent a message of where the Jikochuu had been sighted.
AL - Yoyogi Park. We're waiting for you just outside the gate.
The leader of the Precure made sure to transform into her alter-ego, Cure Heart before she arrived at the park.
Not only was getting there faster, but a lot easier too.
Regina carefully opened the door to Rikka's room. She saw that the bed was empty. Charles was nowhere in sight either.
Looking back at the door she noticed something.
The other side of the door had a deep gash going from one end to the other. Regina carefully traced it, careful to not get any splinters.
'What happened here... where's Rikka?"
"Rikka?" She called out.
No sound. In fact, the house seemed empty.
There was a dark aura and it made Regina's stomach sink.
She pulled out her phone and called Mana.
Cure Heart was busy looking for any signs of the Jikochuu when her phone began to buzz erratically, followed by a ringtone.
Heart looked at who was calling and answered.
"Regina?"
The blonde looked to the other members of the Precure.
Each of them looked concerned. Especially Cure Ace, whom was Aguri.
"Heart... Rikka isn't here! I tried looking for her! T-the door, it has a big gash! I don't know where she is! Her mom isn't here either. Neither is Charles!"
Regina's voice sounded shaky and panicked. She had clearly been worrying about her friend.
Since the phone was on speaker, everyone could hear what Regina was saying.
How could Rikka have disappeared?
'Please be safe, Rikka... for my sake.'
"Regina calm down okay? Get over to us, we'll try and figure everything out. Stay on the line!" Shouted Makoto.
Suddenly, something emerged before them. First a foot, then a leg, then another leg, then a head, and then the rest of... it.
If there was a physical manifestation of jealousy, aside from a Jikochuu (which looked more tame in comparison), this would be it.
