They had their doors opens because of the heat that
night. Anna let the cool breeze beat upon her shapely body. Tsuzuki stroked her
cheek.
"Happy birthday," he whispered. Anna gave him a little
smile.
"You know the doll festival is Wednesday, right?" she
asked.
"That's right."
"Well on the day before, Papa and I would just celebrate
on that day."
Her lover blinked. "What for?"
"Just because."
"Just because?"
Anna rolled onto her back. "My birthday is on the first
of March. The doll festival is on the third. So, Papa linked the two days
together with a celebration." Suddenly, Anna frowned. "I lost those days after I
moved to America." He patted her on the head. He resolved to give those days
back to her.

Today was the day. He gathered
up what little courage he had left to talk to his Amaterasu. She would come down
here with his tea just like she had done for the past few days. He forced
himself to keep typing as he waited. Such a shame that Neko-chan had to die that
way. He paused for a moment of silence. I'm so sorry, he thought. I
had to do it. You left me no choice, really. At least you're in Heaven now. I
hope� He paused when he heard the door open. He turned and there she was in
the doorway.
"Hey there," he said with a smile.
"Hi�" she mumbled. Her eyes shifted around the room. "Uh�
well� I brought you your tea."
"Of course," he said. "Right�"
She reached over for his tea on her tray. He bit his lower lip. Oh
no� This is not good. I have to change the plan fast.
"Hey," he spoke up. The girl looked at him.
"Yes?" she asked. He swallowed hard as he shuffled his
feet.
"What's your name?" he asked aloud. The girl blushed and
looked down at her hands.
"Sugizawa," she mumbled. "Sugizawa Kimiko." He gave her a
little smile.
"Sugizawa," he repeated. Kimiko lifted her eyes towards
him.
"And what's your name?" she asked. His excited heart
pushed him to say his whole name to her. His crush's cheeks turned a deeper red.
"I see," she said. He stared at his Amaterasu with his
own cheeks turning pink.
"Can I see you tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yeah," Kimiko said. "I'll be here every day."
"Okay," he said. Kimiko cleared her throat.
"I'll just leave your tea on your desk, okay?" she said.
"Okay," he said. He watched her
hands move in his excitement. From there, he planned his relationship with her.
In order to do that, he needed more kills. That's where the violent hunger
kicked in softly this time for a change.
Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.
Time to make another kill tonight, all to have his Kimiko.
