Satoko gave Rika a little shake
"Really? Then what about me and Mion? You never told us anything. You didn't ever try to stop anything big. All you did was sit and feel sorry for yourself that your mommy died.

Well boo hoo

Maybe she wouldn't have died if you had tried to save her! And you know what? If you would have saved her, then everyone, not just a few of us, but everyone would have believed you. Istead you just sat and felt sorry for yourself.

Or... Did you wanted them to disappear and die... Did you feel life would be easier without your mother and my Nii-nii to get in the way?!"
 
Rika's knees buckled and she fell to her knees. She was numb at this point.

Why is this happening? Hanyuu? What do I do? Help me! Someone please....

"Satoko," she sobbed. "Yes! Yes I gave up! I'm a horrible person! I knew it was all going to happen and I gave up! I-I don't deserve to be your friend. I'm sorry, so sorry."
 
Satoko was enraged at the girl. The more Rika cried the angrier that Satoko got. She pulled Rika to her feet and pushed her against the wall

"Oh, and I suppose this is supposed to make it all better. Well you have shown me over the years just how good your are at hiding your feelings! You have shown me that you don't have any more regard for human life than you need to have and that you are perfectly willing to just let things happen, even if it is to your own mother. Why should I belive these tears are real?

Why should I ever have been nice to you? Oh sure you took me in, but that was just because it was convenient and fun for you at the time. I bet you that if it was my turn to die this year, you wouldn't do anything. You would sit back, and even after I was dead, you would carry on smiling, happy even though I would be dead and gone!"

Rika shook her head violently.

"No! No! You're wrong! Satoko, you're my friend. The best friend I ever had. Please, I care about all my friends. But-but I don't deserve any of you. I am a terrible person. It was easier to just give up, but please Satoko, I wouldn't let you die. Please..."
 
Satoko gave Rika a hard shake, forward and backward, hitting her against the wall.

"Easier to give up? Easier to give up then to save a person that you once called your own brother? Easier to give up than to help your parents? Easier to give up then to tell someone?!!

Easier to give up than save me to...

Easier to give up then to warn the people that believe in you that the people that they cared for would get taken away from them.

Yeah.... Right....

The Rika I know is the Rika that chases me through a culvert, a window, and a class room, while getting shot at with ink. Not some Wuss.

Could you have even come up with a more pathetic lie?"
 
"Yes! Yes, it was easier! You don't understand Satoko. I've tried so hard for so long. Longer than you realize and it never changed. It was always the same! No one ever believed me.

Mom was scared of me when I'd try telling people anything was going to happen. I bet you didn't know that. Both of my parents were afraid of me at times," Rika laughed a rather strained laugh. "Everything is just easier, better, this way. I'm going to die soon and it'll be the end of this world. I'm looking forward to it at this point."

Satoko gave Rika another hard shake.

"So What?! Did you ever try to tell the entire town? Make a prediction in front of everyone that you knew would come true? Did you ever try telling Mion? Mion's Grandmother? She has a lot of influence, I know that all too well. Don't you think that they could have done something once they saw that you were telling the truth? I mean if you can for see death, why didn't you say something about the town project.

Oh yes I remember. You did. You said that it would be cancelled.

Well three cheers for stupidity! If you would have said that the foreman of the site was to be killed, then everyone would have believed you!

I know you weren't close to your parents Rika. I know that, but even you should have realized that the subject of someone dying wouldn't freak out the Sonozaki's!

No, I think it goes deeper than that. You are the incarnation of Oshira-sama or something and you will just get another life. You can't even be bothered to care for us. Secretly you are probably laughing, waiting to see where you will end up when you enter another body. It must be fun jumping across time, always having fun, not having to care about anyone you meet. Well I am tired of it. Kill me if you will Rika, but I am going to take a stand.

I am not going to let you just forget us and jump to some other time! I am going to force you to deal with the consequences of what you have done."

Satoko felt that she had hit upon a way that made sense of everything. Rika was the incarnation of Oshiro-sama and thus couldn't be truly killed. She would just be reborn again somewhere else. It would explain why she just lived for the day and never thought of the future. It was messed up logic, but in Satoko's state, it seemed to make sense.
 
"Satoko, you're wrong. You're so wrong it'd be funny. I'm not really the reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama. That's just what people think about me. It's not true at all. When I die, I don't jump bodies or anything silly like that. It's just the end. I die.

And are you serious? Tell the Mii or her Grandmother? Mii's never believed any of what I've said, Satoko. You seem to be the only one who ever really did. Oh, maybe I could have used my power as the Furude head! I have no power in this village Satoko. I'm just a kid that they think is the reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama, but they never believe me."

Rika began to squirm in Satoko's grasp.
 
Satoko shook her head and let Rika go, her rage beginning to leave her. She had needed to be told that she was wrong.

"Your wrong Rika. I have been friends with Mion a long time. You never said anything to her. She believes like I do. And you never tried Rika. I would have known. You never even tried."

Satoko turned away from Rika, sadness in her voice.

"I think that I will move out. All your lies are empty in my ears. I see you for what you are. Not a friend, but a lier, and a betrayer of the people closest to you. Your mere existence is a crime against all the good people in the world."
 
Rika fell to the floor.

"Sa-Satoko, you can't move out. Please, you're my best friend. I need you. You and your chance to be happy is the only reason I haven't given up on this world. Please, you can't do this! I-I-I...."

Rika couldn't go on she just laid there and wailed.

Satoko walked out leaving the lier on the floor regretting her sins. She came back into the classroom and grabbed the bento that Shion had made her. Eating it mechanically and not even noticing what she was doing. Her thoughts were a million miles away. The only thing she managed was a very mechanical "thank you'' to Shion.
 
"Auauauau..." Hanyuu said as she materialized.

"What?! What is it Hanyuu?" Rika demanded between sobs.

"Rika, you can't keep on going in this world. It'll kill your spirit."

"Don't you think I know that?! My best friend just told me she hates me. I can't.. I just can't....." Rika broke down into more hysterical sobbing.

"Auauau. You should just end it tonight Rika. A new world will be waiting," Hanyuu faded away as she spoke.

Rika just curled herself into a ball and cried.
 
Keiichi sighed as he closes his notebook. He stood up and decided to go out for some fresh air when he heard someone crying.

"Huh?"

Keiichi looked at the room and saw Rika crying on the floor. A little hesitation occured at first, but then, "They were my friends after all..."

He approached her and said, "What's the matter Rika-chan?"
 
Rika looked up to see Keiichi standing over her. She got slowly to her feet, her knees almost buckling under her again. A trickle of blood flowed from the back of her head where Satoko slammed it against the wall, she could feel it.

"Keiichi, Keiichi," she said weakly as she hugged him. "Satoko hates me now. I could have save Satoshi, but I didn't and now she hates me!"

Rika mentally cursed herself as soon as she said it, but she needed to get it out.
 
"Save...Satoshi?" Keiichi looked at Rika surprised.
"What do you mean?"

He toched the back of her head and saw some blood.

"Are you ok? Maybe we should talk to the manager?"
 
Rika shook her head.

"I knew it would happen! I knew all of it would happen and I didn't do enough to stop any of it! " she managed between sobs. "Keiichi, please tell me again that fate doesn't exist. Please, I need to hear it from you!"

She stood there latched on to Keiichi for dear life.
 
(OOC: Sorry bout that, I was too used to Rena not being here I guess...)

Satoko kept eating mechanically, then turned slowly to Rena, a distant look in her eyes.

"Rika is the one responsible for everything. She is far older than you could imagine, and she doesn't care what happens to those that she meets. Even when she has to power, she does nothing. And when everything has been messed up here, she will just settle down somewhere else.

Rika is not a god, she is a demon."
 
"Rika-chan is what?" Rena tilted her head.
"Satoko-chan, tell me what really happened, this sounds very strange to be true!"

Satoko turned and glared at Rena, her earlier rage coming out in full force.

"What? You never noticed? You are supposed to be the detective in our group... You didn't notice that Rika knows things that she shouldn't? She know major events, she even knew that her parents were going to die.

She even admitted to knowing that Nii-nii was going to disappear, and she didn't help, infact, she did nothing! It is all her fault!"

Satoko got up and started to walk out of the classroom.
