The last few chapters of ATBG

Ch. 13

"Hey, Hey! Miuzaki!" He shoved her into the cab.
"Huh? Oh, Parker! Were going already?"
"No, not yet. I'm letting the cabby driver you home. We will stay another night, so you can say goodbye and pack. I'll stay with your brother."
"Okay." She kissed him. "Be safe."
"You need to be. I'll be there once you contact me."
"Hai. Bye." She waved through the window.

Parler walked back to the hospital. He opened Hishii's door.

"Hey, is Miuzaki okay?"
"Yes, your sister is safe."
"Good. I was told father had ceased."
"Yes, I heard."
"It is still a puzzle you know;" Hishii got up. "First, mother passes on; murderd. And now Hito: Our father has also died. I still can't piece the pieces, becuase they are lost. I'm trying to solve this puzzle. This mystery left. When Miuzaki said goodbye Hishii to me, it felt uneven you know? Like something was wrong, adn hurting my little sister. I still wonder about Miuzaki, why has father disband her?"
"Uhmm..." Parker sighed. He patted Hishii's shoulder and gazed into his eyes. "It's our secret; I cannot say." The emergency alarm went off.


"医師、看護師、スタッフ、患者や訪問者：これはアラームです。本当の侵入者が凶器を持って、これらのドアを通って歩いている。彼/彼女の顔は、最寄りの出口と警察を介して誰もが出口が彼らの方法でされるように解除が認められた。(Doctors, nurses, staff, patients and visitors: this is an alarm. a real intruder has walked through these door holding a deadly weapon. His/ her face was un-seen so everybody exit through the nearest exit and cops will be on their way.)"


"What's that?!!" Parker looked at Hishii, then at the alarm on the ceiling. He saw that people were being evacuated.
"It's the alarm. It means someone has entered ths hospital, someone that looks suspicious and carries a weapon."
"What?"
"Find the exit!!!"
"Hishii, what about you?!"
"I'll be with you. I'm no going to stand here alone." He struggled getting out of bed. He pulled out the IV tubes and placed the sandals on his feet.
"Hurry!"
"No! Go without me!" Hishii kneeled on the ground. "I'll be behind you, just go."
"But---"


"He's taken care of...hemph.." A nurse walked in holding a liquid substance. "It's time for mister Hishii to come with me for his check-up."
"But miss! The alarm is on! Don;t you think it is best if we run away?"
"Why? The person isn't dangerous; all I wanna do is just play."
"What?"

Parker looked at the door. It seemed everyone had already left, and they were the only ones left. Wait--How did she get in? Parker locked the door when he walked in...
The woman smiled, she placed her hand on her collar. Hishii knew exactly who she was.

"Par-" Hishii fell back on his bed. His bed was covered in blood. Parker looked back at Hishii: Dead.

"His-Hish-Hishii!!" Parker placed himself on Hishii. He looekd at him; his eyes were wide open and mouth opened like he were speaking.
"What were you saying Hishii?"

"He was going to tell you to save yourself; run away or you'll just die like he has.....and Jie.."

"Jie? Wait!!"

*FLASHBACK*


"Miuzaki, Jie was--"
"Murdered. I notice. I saw the woman took her..."
"Oh....Then why haven't you-"
"You and your couple shouldn't be involved....Like the case you guys wanted to do: Kuchisake onna. You never found anyone/or anything...You threw it in the dusk. Why this one?"
"Because Jie's family asked my married man for help. He wants you to come to the sight."
"NO!!!"
"You have to go to the police."

"Seto?! Who's he? What did he do to her?!"
"Don't worry Parker, he's Jie's brother..."
"Jie? WHo?"
"A friend of mine......"
"Did her brother hurt you?"
"No......"
"Miuzaki sweety, you don't have to say...And the things the store man told you were sccurate, but, the ヘッドレスの旅人 isn't true. She is just a story people made up to scare kids on halloween. Say, you going for halloween this year?"\"Yes, I heard of that too. But she went to Jie and ripped off her head...Tried doing that to Miuzaki, but luckily she walked off."
'With Jie's head??"
"Hai..."
"Damn...That's cold...."
"Miuzaki came home crying, hysterically..."
"Of course! She saw her friend killed! Wouldn't you?"
"Yes, but--"
"I promise to keep her safe...I won't let that head-less wanderer hurt her or anyone else! If she want's someone's head: she should take mine!!"




"You! You're the-"
"Yes; Yes I am.." She removed her disguise. She showed her true self: her black hoodie hiding her head.
"Well, show me!!"
"Fine," She dropped the gun and removed her hoodie. "It's me."

Parker and what he saw was never the same. This was the first time he had even encountered the Headless Wanderer. He thought she was a figure; an imagined thing created by those minds in which make it seem almost real. Only thing he saw was the woman's neck, and where's her head? Parker fell off Hishii's bed and crawled the to corner. His mouth opened wide as she was coming near and near. He kepyt his mouth wide open; but nothing reached out. He tried to scream but he knew it wouldn't be heard; everyone had left. Why didn't he when he had the chance? He backed up until there was no more room to crawl back to.

"Wh--Wh---What are y-you doing here?!! What do you want?!!!!!!"
"Her friend." She threw Jie's head to Parker. He caught it and looked at the head. He held in his vomit. Just the sight of Jie was all he needed to be afraid. He knew he has to get to Miuzaki before her.

"Gross!"
"Isn't it? Now, where is she?"
"Who?"
"You know who I'm tlaking about!!!! The girl!!!!!!!!"
"What girl?!"

She went up to him and stabbed him in his abdomen.
"The girl. I want Miuzaki's head! I gave her enough time to run away but it looks like she dragged you along for the fun of it."

He gushed blood from his mouth and kept his head down. "No, not her. You won't get her from me."
'Fine. All i have to do is get through you right?"
'Hai. But ther's no way you would."
"Yes I would. Now, tell me where she is or---" She fell flat on her stomach.


"Sir! Get out!! She'll be paralyzed for a short time, so this is your chance! So hurry!" A cop flashed his flashlight into the room. He saw Parker crawling on his hands.

"No!" She grabbed onto his ankle. "I'm taking you.......Bring me to her!"
"Ackh!" He coughed up blood. She pulled him, he had no mroe strength to crawl away. She was pulling him back into his nightmare.
"Help..me." he put his hand in the open for the cops to help him. A cop saw his hand and she ran in. But there wasn't Parker nor the Headless Woman.

"He won;t give me her head, may you give me yours?"
"Wha-" The cop turned around and the Headless Woman snapped her neck, ripped off her head and ran out the hospital. Hishii's dead body laid on his bed, mouth still open wide and his eyes wide.

"That fucking bitch, kicking me like that." The Headless Wanderer held the head eith one hand and the other on her chest. "It hurts. I'll show him what he's dealing with."


"Get off of me!!" He kicked her with his free foot and managed escaping.
"You won't be escaping so easy Parker!"
"Yeah right! You'll enver catch me or Miuz----"


He kept running. He had stopped when he looked back and saw she wasn't there. He heard noises, so he turned around; there was lights getting closer on both sides.
Parker heard honking noises, a man rolled down his window and yelled:

"Get out of the way unless you wanna be chopped suey!"

Parker ran out of the road and into the forest. Miuzaki's house idn't to far. He just gotta keep on walking until he met with the next pavement road.
Ring! Ring!

"Hello?"
"I'm almost there Parker......"
He hung up. He began dialing Miuzaki.

"Hello?" Miuzaki answered.
"Miu? That you?"
"Parker? Yeah it's me. God, you sound terrible."
"Yeah. Get me a cab- call the police, and....Don't leave the house!!"
"Parker!! What's wrong?!"
"Just don't go anywhere! Stay inside!!"
"Is everything alright? Where's Hishii?"
"With Hito, you father!"

She dropped her phone.

"Miuzaki? Hey, don't hang up in me now..I'm almost there...I'm on the Blossom Gate Hill....Hey, Miuzaki hey!! Don't go!!! Quick! Call te police! I can hear her!"




Police arrived at Blossom Gate Hill:
Few minutes after arriving to the scene...


"Hello? Yeah, it's a male victim."
"Another one? Get him to autopsy."
"Boss?"
"Yeah?"
"Is he like the other cases? Becuase he too, has no head."
"Get him to autopsy and let them do their jobs."
"Right away sir."

Miuzaki heard nothing from Parker, so she left the house and ran searching for him. She ran into people and asked, but no one had seen him. She kept running, until she saw flashing lights and an ambulance. The cops were there. Maybe they know where Parker is. She followed the flashing lights. There was a "CRIME SCENE: Do not Cross." tape crossing from tree to tree. This must be a murder case. Was it Parker?

"What happened?!"
"Miss! Please step away from the line."
"May someone please tell me what happened?!!"
"Miss, someone was murdered."
"Who?"
'That's what were trying to find."
"May I see? I may help."
"Of course. Let me get that." He held the tape over her and she crossed.

The examiner was coming over, wheeling a bag on a gurney to her. "Ma'am, the body."
"Please bear ma'am. This is unrated. If you wish to look away you may." The examiner zipped the bag opened.
There was his head missing.

"Where's his head?"
"Missing as we conclude. Do you know him?"
"I don't know. Where is his identification?"
"We cannot say who this is without a head. We cannot find him without dental as well.. But I did in fact find his wallet." He pulled out his wallet and read the name. "Mr. Parker-"
"No!"
"Ma'am. You alright? Have a look. The ID reads a Mr. Parker-" He gave her the wallet. She pulled out credit cards, his license, and photos. All his credits cards read same: Parker.
The photos were of a man with a girl, perhaps his girlfriend. Photos of him in Japan, his family, friends, and the back of each of those pictures read the name of him and his girlfriend: Miuzaki+Parker=In LovE.
The man, the man's girlfriend, friends, family and everything he owned: was indeed Parker. Even the license says Parker's name.

"Gomen nasai." he zipped back the bag and took the wallet. The paramedics wheeled the gurney onto the ambulance and sent it to autopsy.
"When did police arrive?"
"Few minutes ago."
"Was he killed then?"
"The body showed signs of injury to the abdomen. And I took my temperature detecter, the body was there before we had gotten there."
"I see. Thanks anyway." Miuzaki stepped out of the scene weeping.

At home, she got her bags and took along with her a picture of Parker with her having a good time at the festival. SHe noticed the time: 10:00P.M.
She picked up the phone and called Suzuki. Her call was forwarded to Suzuki's answering machine.

"Aunt, this is the last time ever I will call. Just want you to know,...I'm going away. She's hurt many people, not to mention loved ones, she's hurt them to find me. I knew this day would come. No one had given me up to her, maybe they care for me. Did they know I would be next? Maybe I thought it would never happen. Suzuki, I should be far so don't contact or try to. Suzuki, oyasumi nasai. Sayonara."

A tear plumeted to the wood floor...
The phone flipped the cover; ending her way into death's paw.



Ch. 14
“Love,　みうざき(Miuzaki)..” Suzuki finished hearing the message. She pounded her fist onto the wall.
“God dammit that girl! How could she----?! I won’t! If she goes to America, the Headless Woman will follow her; she won’t leave her until she gets what she wants! Hey honey,”
“Yes?”
“Tell the kids I love them.”
“Why honey? Is something wrong?”
“Iie…..This is a family….There IS a family problem going on, I have to be with Miuzaki during this hard time. Her brother had died.”
“Oh God…Tell her we are sorry from the bottom of our hearts.”
“I will…Goodbye.” She takes her coat from the hanger and just as she was about to leave, her husband asked:
“Hun, when are you coming back?”
“As long as it takes for Miuzaki to cope with it. I don’t know how long……Just make sure the kids are safe. Love you guys.” She left the house.
“Love you too.” He dropped his paper and looked out the window. Suzuki usually drives the family car, but instead she waited for a taxi driver. Why is this?


“Hey kids, dad has to go watch mom.”
“Why dad? Mother’s alright fine by herself.”
“Yeah I know, but, she seems strange. She is going to see your cousin, but she didn’t take the car.”
“Maybe she wants to save money. You don’t think she;s cheating on you? Do you?”
“Iie! Kids, go to bed…Call your uncle to watch you.”
“Dad, we’re fine..”
“Just call him.”
“Fine….Be safe…”
“Arigato…You too you guys.” He left their rooms and followed Suzuki.

He took the taxi that came after her. He saw that she was still in the taxi. But they passed the street Miuzaki was at. What could she be doing?

“Sumi masen, driver, can you stop over here?”
“What? You crazy? Here? You sure?”
“Hai.”
“Alright then, that’ll be---.”
“Here, Keep the change.” He opened the door and walked out. The taxi drove by him. He saw that Suzuki also left her taxi. She looked around, he hid in a bush so she couldn’t spot him.

Ring ring! His cell phone rung and she heard him.

“Hello?” He whispered.
“Hun, I see you. Why aren’t you home?! The kids---!”
“Don’t worry…..Uncle is there watching them….”
“You got a lot of explaining to do/”
“Hai, I know.”
“Come out and let’s talk.”

He popped out of the bush and ran to her. Suzuki and her husband walked to the airport. They explained each of their stories.

“I see, Miuzaki is moving to California thinking that if she moved, that she will stop following her. But it’s going to give her more reasons why she would want to catch her.”
“I know. That’s why I got to stop her.”
“What about the children? Me? And the entire family?”
“Hai I’m sure. It’ll only be until she ends this….Don’t worry.”
“But what if you---.”
“Don’t worry. If anything happens, you’ll be there to support them. But I promise you I wont---.”

“Miss,” The clerk said. “Your flight has arrived.”
“Ok, thank you miss. Hun, I’m going now.” She kissed him. “Sore dewa.” She ran to her plane. Her husband waited out the airport and watched as her plane flew into the sky. He threw a tear on the ground, and walked home.


“Kids, I’m back. Everything ok? Anything happened? Where is uncle?”
“I’m over here brother. So how did it go?”
“Okay. Suzuki just left.”
“I’m sorry man. But chill, she’ll be home in time.”
“Time for what?”
“She didn’t tell you? Oh God ha.” He laughed.
“What? Tell me brother.”
“My son’s coming home!”
“Oh? Kuro?”
“Hai. It has been 2 years since he seen me and the family. I hope she comes for the reunion.”
“Didn’t Kuro find a girl up in Switz.?”
“Yeah, but she left him because she was moved to Ireland. Now he has another girl! Her name’s Wiztna, she’s fluent in German and Japanese and Korean. I’m dying to meet her!”
“Us all don’t we? Hey, you can go home now. I got it here.”
“You sure? You don’t want me to stay with you?”
“Hai I’m sure. Go home with your wife and new child.”
“Thanks. She’s a doll that kid. Want to see her? I’ll bring her when Kuro comes home. He doesn’t know about her.”
“He doesn’t?”
“Nope.”


In California:

“Wow, Parker never mentioned it be great here. Or mention that is hot.” She took off her layered clothing. She boarded the taxi and saw the wonders of California. She liked it there in Los Angeles…But it wasn’t like her home. But, this IS her home. She can’t go back there, to Japan; she doesn’t want anymore deaths. But little did she know that she was being followed…


“Miss, I want to be dropped off here.”
The lady was quiet.
“Ma’am? Didn’t you hear me? I want to be dropped off HERE.”
“Here? You sure?”
“Yes I am sure.”
She went quiet again.
“Hello? Hey! You missed my spot! Miss!” Miuzaki opened the window covering them. The woman had on a hoodie. She could see her smile, that bright red smile. Her mouth was bigger than her face, it looked to be cut from ear-to-ear.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t understand you well.”
“Who are you?!”
“Really? Really Miuzaki? You don’t remember me?!”
“If I knew you would I be asking you?!”
“Fine, removed my hoodie.”
‘What?”
“REMOVE MY HOODIE!!!” She stopped the cab. Miuzaki carefully went up to her and removed her hoodie. She saw her slit mouth. The driver’s head turned over to her back and opened her mouth. “NOW REMOVE MY FACE!!!”
“W-What?!”
“Do it!”

Miuzaki placed her hand on the woman’s face and peeled off her skin. There was another face on top of it.
“Remove it again, and again.”
She kept ripping off her face until there was one face remaining: Jie’s.
“Now, rip it off!”
“J-Jie….Is it you?”
“You foolish corpse!! It’s not me! Miu, rip it off! Please, return my face to my head!!!”
“No! Jie!!! I can’t!”
“Do it…..Or---------OR I’LL KILL YOU!!!!”
“Jie….I…………I……………”

“Bitch!!” Suzuki jumped onto the cab and threw a plank of wood and broke the glass. Miuzaki hid in the back and saw as her aunt Suzuki grabbed the woman’s neck. “Trying to kill my niece eh? Well try again!!!!!!! You’ll never get her as long as I----.”

“SUZUKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”


Ch. 15

“You’ll never get her as long as I----.”
And snap. The taxi driver grabbed her neck as well, and just snapped it so hard her head just-----f fell off. Just like that. And now Suzuki’s dead. She died for Miuzaki; she didn’t know she went all the way to America just to die there. And now Miuzaki has to deal with the pain and the devastating message to giver to her uncle. What would she say? That, Suzuki just---- died?
Miuzaki saw Suzuki’s head in the hands of her killer. The Headless Woman held her head with pride. She placed her fingers on her fatal skin and caressed her face. She laid her hand on the eyes. She licked her lips and began devouring Suzuki’s eyes. Miuzaki vomited in the back, going through seeing this. Miuzaki pulled out a crowbar from the back and placed it in the woman’s neck and escaped by jumping out from the broken windshield.

She ran and cried, screaming in fear, telling everyone to get out and run away. An officer on a cop bike and stopped her.

“Ma’am, what is the problem?”
“PLEASE!!!!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!”
“Ma’am? MA’AM! Please, you are scaring the citizens. Now tell me, what’s wrong?”
“MY AUNT’S BEEN KILLED AND HER KILLER IS EATING HER HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SAVE HER!!!!!!!!!”
“Ma’am, who is you aunt and where has this--.”
“GET AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Ma’am, if you do not cooperate with me fully, I may have to take you into custody.”
“THAT WON’T DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Ma’am! Turn around.” He turned her around and placed handcuffs on her hands. What has she got herself into?


At the station:

“Hello? Miss Miuzaki? Hi, I’m Tokiro Hoshimata, I’m with the Japanese-American attorney office and I was appointed to your case. Now, you told the cop over there that your aunt, Miss Suzuki, was murdered?”
“Yes….”
“And her killer ate her head?”
“I only saw her eating her eyes…..That’s when I pulled out the crowbar and stuck it in her neck. That’s when I ran out and he stopped me.”
“He said you were on the streets screaming, “Get out Get away Run for Your Life?””
“Yes……”
“Did you take a good look at the killer?”
“She had no head.”
“No head? That’s impossible. How could she be able to kill your aunt?”
“Headless……Woman……”
“I see, well, can you tell me about your aunt?”
“Yes……Suzuki was married to an investigator…….She left home to protect me….And now she’s gone……..dead deceased because of me…….”
“It is not your fault miss….”
“You don’t understand….”
“I do unde---.”
“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!!” Miuzaki threw her chair at the glass and it shattered. She moved the table aside and grabbed Hoshimata by the neck.

“H—Help!” He began turning blue.
“You will never understand. And you call yourself Japanese? C’mon. You’re not true Japan blood.”
“H-Help!” He didn’t care what she was saying. All he wants was to be free from her vigorous grip.

Minutes after came a group of officers and doctors and nurses that came to save Hoshimata. The group of officers pulled Miuzaki away and doctors plus nurses took her away to their “sanctuary” facility. Hoshimata began breathing and regained color. He began to vomit for more air and went to visit her later that day.



“Hello Miss Miuzaki, our encounter last time came out rocky, but I think I could understand you more. I had just read your files that Japan sent me. Now, tell me this: Why have you come here?”
“Why does it matter?”
“Just answer the question.”
“I wanted to run away, think the Headless Woman would stop following me……..But I guess I was wrong though……”
“Headless Woman? Tell me more about this person.”
“I thought you would know since you’re part Japanese.”
“Miuzaki, tell me this person.”
“She’s evil, sinister and ruins lives…..”
“Okay then….Thank you Miss Miuzaki.” He got up. “It was nice talking with you again?”
“Mister Hoshimata?” Miuzaki got up.
“Yes?”
“Gomen nasai…” She went up to him and hugged him.
“It’s okay.” He wrapped his arms around her. “Say, if you’re going to stay here, I have a favor to ask you.”
“Yes?”
“My son, Mojitoro was looking for---.”
“Details please.”
“He’s fun, carefree and outgoing…”
“Sure. Can I live you guys for the time being?”
“Of course.”
“Arigato.”



Ch. 16
Miuzaki and Hoshimata went back to his place. His wife greeted them with dinner. She sat next to her husband, and Miuzaki sat next to Mojitoro.

“So honey, who is she?” She whispered.
“That’s Moji’s date.”
“Moji’s date?!”
“Hai.”
“So Miss, Miuzaki, my husband says your our son’s date?”

“Dad?!” Moji blushed.
“What son? You told me you wanted a date.”
“Yeah? So? That didn’t mean you had to---.”

Miuzaki looked out the window and saw the Headless Woman holding Suzuki’s head. She fell off her seat and ran out to the backyard.

“Miuzaki!!” Hoshimata and Mojitoro left the dinner table and chased after her. Hoshimata spotted Miuzaki climbing on the fence.

“Miuzaki!” Mojitoro hopped on the fence and pulled her down. She fell on top of Moji, he blushed.
“Miu-zaki…..” He blushed red.
“Are you okay Miss?” Hoshimata picked them up.

“I saw her….She was there outside….holding the head….”
“Miss, calm down. Moji, take her back inside.”
“Hai. Hey, where’s she staying?”
“In the guest room here.”
“What?”
“Yes. Now, take her back inside.”

“NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Miuzaki released herself from Mojitoro’s hands and hopped their fence into the city.
“Miss!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Hoshimata followed her.
“Father no!!!!!” So did Mojitoro.

Hoshimata’s wife came outside and saw everyone had left. She called police and her family.

“Ma’am, we will be right there.”
“Thank you.” She began crying. She thought her son and husband had left and never come back.


“Hello?”
“Hoshimata! Where are you?! Your wife is worried sick!”
“Tell her I’ll be back.”
“And tell her Moji is safe. Miss Miuzaki had left my residence and I am chasing her. So is my son.”
“Well, hurry back.”
“I’ll try.”
“Where is Miuzaki?”
“Don’t know.”

Miuzaki stopped running. She looked around. She found herself lost, and out of the state. There was a sign over her head that read “WELCOME TO NEVADA, LAS VEGAS.”
That meant she left California and kept running to the state over. Miuzaki saw that there was a church near her. She was afraid of churches ever since that day of Kubata’s assassination.
She went inside anyway, and saw the priest standing behind his podium. He welcomed her with his hands.

“Ay, hello misses. What has the Lord brought you here?”
“Sir, I left my country to get away from this evil person…”
“Evil? What kind of evil?”
“She had killed my family and my boyfriend.”
“Ah, I see. Is she around?”
“Last time I had seen her was in California…..Sir Pastor please, don’t send me back to Ja---.”

The pastor placed his hands around Miuzaki’s face and licked his lips. And said: “My, you have a rich face and head. No wonder evil has come. It wants you.”
“Sir, what are you---.”
“Let me have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Miuzaki closed her eyes and pulled away from the man and ran out of the church. He ran and followed her. Miuzaki ran into the streets crying for help. She kept running, and she fell on the road. A loud noise and a bright light appeared to her. It was an 18-wheeler coming by, and the driver was signaling her to get out of the way.

Miuzaki began to cry and scream. The noise got louder and the light became brighter.
“STOP FOLLOWING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAVE ME PARKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Miuzaki woke up in a hospital room.



Ch. 17
“Doctor, you think she’ll be able to survive?”
“At the rate she’s progressing, I think not. I am sorry mister.”
“Well, did she say anything?”
“The man who brought her in said that she was crying. And screaming for a Parker to save her.”
“I see. May we see her?”
“Yes, let me show you to her room.”
“Thank you.”

The window was open, wind blowing in, and a man with wings flew in. He grasped his hand onto her pale face and whispered “Miuzaki, please, don’t go so young. Please be strong and stay here. Your job here on this planet hasn’t end nor started. Why did you come here for? Didn’t you want to run away from your problems? And what happened? Suzuki had been murdered, and you? Well, you got hit by a truck driver. He tried saving you by telling you to get out of the way. But you stayed there and cried. You are lucky your call came in. Right at the scene, when the man looked away and called 911, I came from Heaven, and healed partial wounds only the ones I could’ve saved. I wished I saved more. You wouldn’t be here. When the man left you here, I waited outside to come in and see you. I’m sorry I died shortly. I wish I had an angel right at my side. And now that I’m gone, I can watch you above with your brother, Hishii. He still hasn’t stop bothering me about you. He felt guilty about his death. He said that if he were still alive, he’d protect you and saved you. He would’ve killed for you; he would kill that woman for you. But you know, you’re the only one he only talks about nowadays. And he said to me before I came here: “Parker, give her my grieving and greetings. I want her to know you still love her. And that she is the only one that could stop her from killing anymore innocent lives.” And I want you to know that I still love you ‘til this day. I have to leave; it seems to me someone is coming to see you. I’ll be your angel, just please don’t reach for your wings yet.”

“Here you go.” The doctor walked them in.
“Thank you.” Hoshimata and his wife walked in. Hoshimata sat next to Miuzaki and rubbed her hand. “Why Miuzaki? Why did you do this? Why did you run away?” He began crying.
“Honey,” His wife sat next to him. “Don’t worry…She will make it. She didn’t mean to do this.”
“What do you mean? Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? He said that she wasn’t going to---.”

“Going to what? I’m too early to die. It’s too early for me to reach for my wings.” Miuzaki opened her eyes.
“Miuzaki! Doctor! Doctor!” Hoshimata’s wife ran to get the doctor.
“Miuzaki! Are you alright? We thought you’d be gone!” Hoshimata hugged her.
“I am sorry Mr. Hoshimata, is Mojitoro---?”
“Don’t worry. He understands.”
“Does he still want to date me?”
“Not really. I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have asked you.”
“Hey, you made an attempt for your son to be happy. I see.”

“A miracle!” The doctor came in and examined her. “This is truly amazing. You should’ve been gone. Your injures were threatening. How is this even possible?”
“My angel saved me…”
“Your angel? Unbelievable.”

“When can she come home?”
“From the looks of this, probably the next morning. Oh, your wife is in the room.”
“What? Why?”
“I told her to wait. I think you should with her. Miss Miuzaki needs her rest. Don’t you?”
“I do.”

“Okay then, let’s go Mr. Hoshimata.”

Miuzaki fell asleep once they left. But she didn’t sleep too long when she heard Mrs. Hoshimata screaming. Miuzaki got up and checked out her room. Mrs. Hoshimata went into labor. In at just 36 weeks, it may seem the baby was premature.

“Back in your room Miuzaki.”
“Yes sir.” Miuzaki closed her door and went back to sleep.


Hours later, Mrs. Hoshimata brought in a boy, Yujido Hoshimata, into the world.
In the morning, Miuzaki was discharged from the hospital along with Mrs. Hoshimata and the baby.


Mojitoro, family and friends welcomed the ladies home. Mojitoro waited outside to see his brother and new friend. When the car pulled up in the driveway, Mojitoro ran to the car and kissed Miuzaki as she got out. Mrs. Hoshimata and her husband gladly showed everyone their new son. Mojitoro looked at his new brother, and looked at Miuzaki.

“I’m sorry that my father got you into this.”
“It’s not his fault.”
“And I’m sorry.”
“What?”
“I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there in the hospital. I was with my father searching for you, but I wanted to go and find you, but my father demanded that I be home with my mother.”
“I understand.”
“I got to ask you something.”
“Yes?”
“Will you go out with me?”
Miuzaki froze. She looked up at the sky. She saw her angel, Parker in the clouds. He shook his head happily and wrote the words yes in the sky. He wanted her to be happy, and with Mojitoro there, Miuzaki will be happy.

“Well?”
“Yes.” She kissed his lips and hugged him. She walked inside the house. Mojitoro fell on the ground and looked up in the skies.
“Thank you God.” He smiled.

“No, thank me.” Mojitoro got up and looked around.
“Who said that? Who’s there?”
“Me. I’m right here.” Parker laid his foot on the pavement. Mojitoro fell on his feet. He wanted to scream but didn’t want to start a problem.

“It wasn’t God who sent you that. It was me.”
“W-Who are you?”
“I am Miuzaki’s angel, Parker.”
“Her what?”
“Her angel. I know this would sound funny, but here it goes: I use to be her boyfriend before I was killed.”
“W-What? Killed? Boyfriend?”
“That’s right. I too was killed by the same lady that had killed her aunt back here in California, where I had lived.”
“I’m still lost.”
“At what?”
“E-Everything!”
“Ask her yourself…I must go now. It was nice meeting you Mojitoro.”
“Wait? How’d you know my name?”
“Miuzaki couldn’t stop talking about you in her dreams. Please, make my Miuzaki happy. I trust you, Mojitoro.” Parker descended back into the sky.

“Moji, who were you talking to?”
“Nothing mother. Say, where’s Miuzaki?”
“She’s inside. Why?”
“I got to ask her something.” He ran inside the house.
“What’s this about?” Mrs. Hoshimata closed the door.


“Miuzaki?”
“Yes Mojitoro? What’s wrong?”
“I need to ask you something.”
“Of? What’s this about?”
“It’s about Parker.”
Miuzaki dropped her plate of food and ran outside.
“Miuzaki wait!”

“Son, what did you do?!”
“I saw her angel!!” Moji ran to get her.


“Miuzaki wait!”
“What?! What do you want to know about him?!”
“I spoke with him.”
“You what? What do you mean when you say that?”
“He spoke to me: literally. He told me everything. That he was also killed by that woman, and that he was your boyfriend. How come you never told us?”
“It doesn’t matter now. He’s gone; he’s dead. There’s nothing to talk about him.”
“He told me you dreamed of me.”
“So?”
“So? Miuzaki, I don’t want you to be hurting inside. I want to know everything about you. Please, I love you. I want to help you with your problems. Tell me everything about him. You don’t need to be hurting alone.” He grabbed her hand and walked back onto the front yard. They sat down and looked at each other for awhile. Miuzaki began to tell her story.

“I see.” Mojitoro said. He laid down on the grass.
“Yeah.” She laid down next to him. “I’m sorry I haven’t told you earlier.”
“It’s okay now. Now you aren’t hurting any more. I promise to treat you right. I promise to keep you happy, and to protect you in every way I can. I don’t want you hurting anymore.”
“Mojitoro…” She looked at him. She can see that Parker DID speak with him. Mojitoro had changed since the first time she met him. He actually wants to protect her and make her happy. She can see Hishii and Parker looking down at them, knowing their job is complete.


And now Miuzaki’s has just begun.



Headless Woman was in their backyard.



Ch.18
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Screamed Mojitoro’s aunt. Everyone ran inside and into the attic. Mojitoro and Miuzaki ran inside, but Miuzaki ran outside.

“Miuzaki! What are you doing?! You’re going to get yourself killed!”
“Parker wants me to end this: Once and for All. I love you Mojitoro, be safe. Get upstairs with your family.”
“No. Miuzaki, I won’t; come with us.”
“No, I can’t.” She opened the back door and slid it shut. She locked herself outside with the Headless Woman.

Mojitoro ran to the attic and saw everyone cuddled up together.
“Where is she?!”
“Out there.”
“What?! What is she thinking?!”
“She has to end this.” Everyone, even Mojitoro, looked out from the attic window. They all saw Miuzaki on one side and the Headless Woman in another.


“I can’t believe you actually came here. I thought you’d follow your boyfriend and go in the attic like they all did. I don’t know why,” She walked around their garden. “I don’t know why they’re afraid of me, you know?”
“Because you’re headless.”
“Maybe that’s why. But you Miuzaki, you aren’t like them. You’re fierce, strong and an idiot.”
“Why am I an idiot?”
“For putting yourself in this. You know I’m going to end up with your head and find a new victim.”
“But that’s what makes me courageous. I’m standing up to something my family was afraid to do. Can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Why Jie?”
“Why? Same thing. I ask myself that everyday...”
“You ama!!”
“Big, big words missy.”
“Shut up. Wasn’t there something you had to do?”
“Yes. Don’t you?”
“I as well.” Every time the woman was talking to her and examining the plants, Miuzaki quietly stepped forward and forward, holding in her hands a steak.
“Well, what was it?”
“Turn around.” Miuzaki whipped out her steak and placed it in the center of her neck. Blood spurted out and she fell. Miuzaki thought it was all over, but she knew, she knew she couldn’t die easily.

Miuzaki grabbed the water hose and turned it on hot water. The hot water on her neck made the Headless Woman scream. The woman got up and grabbed the garden cutter. She went to Miuzaki and stabbed her in the neck. Miuzaki’s neck splashed blood on the scissors and garden. Then, Miuzaki punched the steak harder and harder into the Headless Woman’s neck until you couldn’t see the steak popping out.
Miuzaki took the scissors and placed it at the woman’s arms and cut them off. Same thing with her legs. Everyone from the attic ran downstairs and left. They went to the gate door and entered. They tried to help Miuzaki but she yelled at them.

“Get back! She’s not done yet!”
“What? What do you mean?”

“This is what she meant.” The Headless, now arm and legless woman moved to Mojitoro’s aunt and pulled her down into the grass.

“Aunt!” Moji tried to rip the grass and used his nails to get into the ground.
“Too late, she’s dead. See what I mean? Get out.”
“No!” Mojitoro went inside and came back with a chainsaw.

“What the fuck are you trying to do Moji?!”
“You’ll see.” He threw the chainsaw to Miuzaki and she made a pentagram on the ground.

“Everyone, get back inside. If I don’t return in an hour, call the police.”
“But what are you doing?”
“Don’t worry.” Miuzaki threw back the chainsaw and took the hose and sprayed hot water and used the blood from her neck and placed it around the pentagram. She took a shovel and dug up the center. There, everyone saw a purple light shine from the ground. Miuzaki was stepping into hell.

“Miuzaki! Be careful.”
“I will...” She jumped inside the hole.


Mojitoro’s aunt was tied up onto a pole. The Headless Woman had her arms and legs stitched back. She and the demons saw Miuzaki jump into the pentagram.
She still had the shovel. She knocked out every demon in her way. And now, it was only her, the Headless Woman, Moji’s aunt, and the devil.

The devil placed his foot in the middle of the ground. The ground began shaking. He placed in his other foot and jumped from his throne.
“I seen enough! Now, you end this once and for---.”
“Shut up! I brought her boyfriend’s aunt here just for you to have Miuzaki sir.”
“What?” The devil, he got pissed that he took out his staff and stuck it in the woman’s chest. The Headless Woman fell and blood poured out and bled out everywhere. Now, Miuzaki had to fight the devil to free Mojitoro’s aunt.

“Miss Miuzaki, I know why you’re here. I do not wish to fight you. But I know someone who will.”
“Who?”
“Send her here!”

Who Miuzaki saw, she had thought the day they will meet was far. The lady appeared in front of them. She wore a High School uniform, and her favorite black shoes. She had short black hair, and her eyes were dead like expired candy. When Miuzaki and the lady saw each other, Miuzaki knew that couldn’t be who she thought that was, but when he introduced them. She saw the sewing pattern on her neck. It had to be, and IT was here; Jie.
“Miuzaki, the only way to save this lady is to have fight and defeat Jie. And if you lose, this lady will have her whole body chopped up into pieces.”

Mojitoro’s aunt screamed, but it wasn’t heard since her mouth was duct taped.
Miuzaki has to win.

“Are you ready you two? FIGHT!”

“Jie, is it really you?” Miuzaki stayed in place.
Jie walked slowly, and slowly. She had lost everything; her family, friends, and even her life.

“You were there….You were there with me…..Why haven’t you stopped her? Why didn’t you stop her from taking my life? I thought friends would help friends out. But you Miuzaki, DIDN’T SAVE ME!!!!!!!!!!! You left me there to DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should've been the one to die not me!!!!!!!!! Now, I will show you, what it was like................To be dead..........And to have no one there to help you..........Let me show you the way there……"
“NO!!!!!!!!! Jie! I wanted to save you, but…But I was afraid too!”
“Afraid my ass! You just stood there, and saw her rip my head off! And what did you do when she left my body there? Did you take it away? No! You just left it there! You left the only thing there was of me! You just ran home crying to your mom and dad saying I died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cops came to do their work very later!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know how that made me feel? No! NO YOU DON’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why didn’t you try saving me? Why? Answer that. Explain why you said to me “Jie, if anyone tries to hurt you, I swear, I swear on my ancestor’s grave that I’ll protect you no matter what harm or no matter what anyone tries to do to me. I’ll be there for you.” But after that day, the day I was here……I dreamt of the day we’d meet.”
“So you told her to kill my family?!!! Even, even Parker?”
“Yes. I wanted you to feel my pain. My family suffered. My friends suffered. It’s not so great losing someone you love isn’t it?”
“No…..Jie, I’m sorry.”
“No you’re not! Now, I can show you what she had done to me….” Jie placed her hands around Miuzaki’s neck. She squeezed her fingers into her neck so that Miuzaki couldn’t breathe. “Feel it. Feel your life squeezing out of you. Don’t you feel it? Don’t you?”

They heard a chainsaw staring up. Mojitoro jumped inside the pentagram with a chainsaw and stuck it right in Jie’s head and sliced her in half.

“I’m sorry Jie…I am…..I know every reason you to be mad at me…But all you want was for me to be happy that I’m alive right? Every morning when I wake up and every night before I go to sleep, I keep saying to myself: “Why have I survived that night? Why haven’t I died yet?” I wanted to die to tell you the truth. I can’t live going on with the fact you’re gone….You were my girl until death. We go to parties together, hang out at movies with friends, go to school every day…I was there for you when your brother died that summer of the plague…Believe me, I know what it was like…..And I never stopped thinking of you. I will see you again Jie. Grab your wings and let’s shine in the clouds.”


Ch.19
It grew dark and the police had shown up. They had to bring in a ladder and they pulled Mojitoro and Miuzaki out of the ground and they buried the pentagram with cement.
Miuzaki was rushed to the hospital for the slash on her neck. Doctors said she’d be better by next week when the wound heals. Mojitoro proposed to Miuzaki the day she left the hospital. They moved back to Japan and lived far from Tokyo.
Mojitoro’s family also moved to Japan. Hey sold their Californian home which later became an abandoned mansion. Mojitoro and Miuzaki got married the day of her birthday. Their families both met and threw Miuzaki’s baby shower.

On the day of their child’s birth, Mojitoro and Miuzaki named her Jie. Their families both now ran a family business in which they garden the empty spaces near Chiba. Their daughter Jie helped out as well. Miuzaki learned she was pregnant with twin boys. Mojitoro was executive of a recording company and made it in time for the babies birth.
Miuzaki’s family went back to Tokyo in celebration of their deaths in the years.
Miuzaki’s uncle, he got remarried and his kids grew up and began families.


But long after the anniversary of Jie’s death, karma came around.
“Miuzaki, you hear that?”
“Hear what? The quiet sound of the house? The kids are asleep.”
“No, not that…Miuzaki….I think---.”
“Think what?”
“Look outside.”


And there she was: The Headless Woman came back for round two…
