Her

Chapter 2: One of Us

Btw each 'chapter' is actually 3 chapters js so it seems longer

 She was bored, and utmost carefree, so she pranced down the halls looking for food. Her stomach let out a tremendous growl. Looking down on her tummy,clenching it with a frown on her face. "Isn't there any food in this bloody hellhole?" She mumbled, quite literally. Takahushi waddled into a room, with shimenawa of course. She tipped and turned the boxes around looking for at least an apple! Annoyed, after checking every box and every nook and cranny, she stormed into the halls, with a huge scowl on her face. She strolled back to the room that she first arrived in. Takahusi let out a huge yawn and plopped down onto her shikibuton and laid her head on her pillow.Her eyes fluttered shut. After hours of sleeping, she woke up to a symphony of voices. "She might wake up soon so be quiet!" Hushed a soft female voice. "Who cares if she wakes up?" scowls a huskier voice. "She's one of us anyway..." "Wait!" the girl whimpered. "She's waking up!" Takahushis eyes fluttered open. A beautiful girl with long vibrant blonde hair and soft green eyes. Then sitting next to her , a taller boy with jet black messy hair and almost black eyes. The girl squeaked nervously. "Did you see her too?''. With a small exhale Takahushi responded "Yes." The girl was spaced out looking at the Shaku doll hung in the corner." Oh sorry!" she squeaked. " My name is Mei, and his name is Niko." she sighed. Niko's jet black eyes darted to my face. "What are you looking at!?" he snapped. He got up and slid the tatami doors open and shot Takahushi one more glare and left. As his footsteps left off in the distance. " I'm sorry about him.." Mei muttered with a slight quiver in her voice. "He has been here for 3 years, 7 months." she exclaimed. "Sorry, I have been bored so i have been counting." Mei picked up a juicy looking pear, and tossed it at Takahushi. Takahushi took a big crunchy bite. Her eyes shot open with glee. "Oh my god!" She mumbled through a mouth full of pear. "I'm glad you like it!" Mei said with a comforting smile.

They both got out of their comfy position on the shikibuton, and Mei led her down the hall.

They went into multiple rooms, having fun, and collecting food of course. Their smiles soon faded when the muffled cry of Takahushi's tired voice sounded. " Help! I think the door is fucking stuck!" The struggle of trying to open the jammed tatami door was crazy. Mei, being on the other side, tried her 'hardest' to open it, with a small grin on her face. Unbothered she pushed the door open, and her face had a sort of worried expression, almost fake. "Oh my god! Are you okay?" Takahushi couldn't even respond, for she was so exhausted. Mei led her to a rather strange room, and gently placed her head on the shikibuton pillow and from there she slept, slept, slept. Days passed, maybe even weeks. She woke up to the evil giggle that Mei was sounding as she spoke to Niko. Takahushi rubbed her stomach. Her stomach let out a treacherous growl. She struggled to stand but she did it in the end, with the unbothered help of Niko, considering that Mei had left. Mei returned a few hours later, with bags under her eyes. She leaned against the frame of the tatami door. "Here" she huffed and threw a battered bag, with a light weight to it. Takahushi opened the bag, and a violent, sweet smell filled her senses as she looked down on a mouth-watering custard tart. She was confused, on how she found a tart in this hellhole, but delighted considering she absolutely adored tarts. "It's for you" Mei said with a rather bitter voice, but with a small grin. Without hesitation, Takahushi picked the tart up and took a huge bite. The sweet, gooey, goodness oozed into her mouth, making her sleepy, so she finished it and layed down on the shikibuton.

Mei got to her business, collecting food and cleaning, but Niko sat there caring for Takahushi, all day, all night. He gently placed a cold cloth on her head. In the middle of, well "whatever", Takahushi woke up, sweat pouring down her forehead, something cold plopped in her lap, a cloth? Confused on who had been caring for her, she naturally assumed that it was Mei. Feeling much better, she left to go thank her. Takahushi walked across the room and poked her head through the doors and spoke with a soft yell "Mei!! Where are you?" After waiting for a while she left and strutted down the halls. She was walking absentmindedly when the corridors filled with an echo of "EEK! A RAT!" The small creature snuck through the holes of the tatami mat and Takahushi calmed down. She found a room with shimenawa and marched in. Her eyes widened and the colour from her face ran. Blood. Blood Everywhere. A young teenager. A boy. Jet black hair. "NIKO!" She gasped. His eyes were cold. So fucking cold. She bent down and sat him up in a more stable condition. "Who did this to you?" she whispered in a comforting tone. "I-it w- was h-her, R-rin." he rasped through chattering teeth. "It was Mei." Her jaw dropped, Takahushi was fuming but was also hurt. Her best friend? Well not anymore. Tears welled in her eyes. How?
