Higurashi Month 2023, Day 30: Defeated

How had it come to this?

Keiichi stared at his house on his knees in the dirt, fingers curling desperately into the driveway as grit and gravel packed painfully underneath his fingernails.

His first thought, rather embarrassingly, was that his parents were going to kill him.

His second thought, hysterically, was that he wished they would get to him before Mion and the other members of the club could.

Flames crackled and whooshed up from the side of the house as the half-dozen men who made up Hinamizawa and Okinomiya’s fire service shouted and ran around his yard, aiming the long, heavy coiling snake of the hose at what had used to be the family kitchen.

Timbers cracked and bent under the combined force of the water pounding into them and the fire eating away at the wall, and a strangled, keening whimper rose in Keiichi’s throat as he stared at the damage.

His parents were going to smother him, and then they were going to kill him.

He stared numbly at the carnage, still wearing the chef’s apron he had swiped from his mother’s closet, with a shock blanket draped reassuringly over his shoulders. Once the firefighters had made sure Keiichi was out of the way, they had somewhat forgotten about him, and he didn’t blame them one bit. This was probably the most exciting fire they’d dealt with in a while –this was probably the first fire they’d dealt with in years. This far out in the boonies, the fire volunteers mostly rescued pets from trees and gave lectures in school, to Keiichi’s memory.

At the reminder of school, he whimpered in misery and raised his hands, not caring about the grit and dust as he dragged them down his face.

His mother and father were going to kill him, and Mion and all the others were going to laugh until they puked.

Keiichi would rather take his father punching him again, to be honest. Punch him so hard, he’d knock Keiichi out and then they’d discover a miraculous brain tumor and rush him to the hospital and he’d have to spend weeks in hospice and he would lose his memories and he wouldn’t have to deal with the club learning about this.

“Oh, wow.” chirped an innocent voice that was the herald of his doom.

Slowly, with the weary malaise of a convicted criminal turning to look at their guard opening the cell upon the morning of their execution, Keiichi turned his head.

Rika-chan and Satoko-chan were standing a safe distance away from the bright red fire truck and the hustling volunteers, holding their bikes at ease. They both looked startled, but when they took in his unharmed state, and the apathetic despair in his eyes, they relaxed, minutely.

“Master Cook indeed, Keiichi-san!” Satoko-chan said after a moment, and then laughed, baring her small fang. “Oh-ho-ho~! Master of Disaster, maybe!”

“Mew, Keiichi should be more careful when cooking, he should.” Rika-chan chirped, nodding in agreement with a bright smile. She let her bike topple against the ground and stepped forward, reaching out to gently pat his head. “Poor, poor, Keiichi-san. He cooked so hard his house burned down. Pat, pat, pat.”

Keiichi whimpered in despair, and wondered if it was too late to drive his skull into the ground and give himself a concussion on one of the rocks buried in the driveway.

This was only the beginning of the club’s teasing, he knew.

Oh, they’d help him, of course –Mion would chip in with her family’s obscene network of connections, whip up a contract crew of builders seemingly on the spot and foot the bill to boot; Rena and the others would show up and chip in, helping the builders put everything together; the club members would gather to try and replace what goods were lost in the fire– but that was not the point. That wasn’t all they’d do.

They would never, ever, ever let him live this down.

Keiichi curled his hands into his hair and wailed with the agony of a thousand lost souls.

There was no way he’d win the cooking bet now.

AN: In the Curse-Killing arc, Keiichi nearly burns his kitchen down due to being a dumbass who can’t cook. This is an AU where Rika and Satoko don’t arrive in time to shut the oven off.

It’s also the last prompt of 2023! I’ve been doing this for six years, and I’m going on seven for the next one. I look forward to seeing all three people who care about it there!

Higurashi Month 2023, Day 9: Friendship

The bright and bold colors wound around and around each other, the cotton embroidery floss snugging neatly together as Shion watched Rena-san pout at the developing braid with deep concentration. Bright mint green, rusty orange, and the deep rich brown of fertile earth. Blindingly bright white that was sure to soon fade to grimy greyish-brown, lurid streaks of royal purple, a flash of bright yellow like the disks sewn into the neck of Shion's white shirt.

"What are you doing, Rena-san?" Shion asked, propping one elbow on the back of the Angel Mort booth and leaning over Rena's shoulder. She felt easy enough in this brief lapse in professionalism, since it was sometime near sunset and neither the drooling mobs of acne-ridden okatus nor the drooling mobs of gnashing sweet-toothers came by for their daily fix quite this late in the day.

"Maaaking something~" Rena singsonged in reply, not looking away from her stringy project. Shion scratched her cheek with her free hand, then sighed.

"Well, yeah, I get that, but like… what?" she asked.

Rena suddenly turned around, although she still held the strands of embroidery floss taunt in her hand, making Shion lean back as Rena displayed a fierce pout right in her face.

"You're not supposed to tell when you're making something for a friend!" Rena cried, all huffily indignant. "It ruins the surprise!"

Shion refrained from pointing out that A) making said thing in a public venue was kinda asking for Shion to snitch on her anyway, and B) Rena had literally confessed she was making something for a friend herself. Shion might not be in Onee's club, but she sure as hell knew about Rena Ryugu's whirling right hook and dreaded Take-It-Home mode, and had a desire to face precisely neither of those things.

"All right, all right, sure, whatever." she sighed breezily, making as if to throw her hands up in the air as she shrugged, lifting herself up from the edge of the booth. "Keep your secrets."

Her lacy skirt swished as Shion sauntered off, and she glanced over one shoulder.

"Y'want another fruit smoothie while you wait?" she asked, slipping into a rare lapse of her more rural accent. Rena's eyes lit up, and that was all the confirmation Shion needed as she grinned and adjusted her course for the kitchen.

~*~

The next time Shion saw Rena, it was with her club, a whirling cacophony of shouts and excitement and not-quite-spilled food (they were polite, unlike some people Shion could name). They were all laughing and chattering about some victory or another, and even if Shion did not know the exact context or which game had been played, she could see the results in Kei-chan's gloomy face and the way the others were going out of their way to order the pricier dishes on the menu.

But this was in the full swing of Angel Mort's busiest hours, so she only got the occasional chance to drift close to their table with drinks and catch the drift of their complaints or their cheers or the way Satoko-chan was using a bent spoon to adorably flick the cherry from her parfait straight at Kei-chan's face.

"Hey, Shi-chan!" Rena shouted over the general cacophony of their own table and every chattering booth in the place. "What kind of beads do you like? Metal, plastic, glass, with designs…?"

Beads?

Well, whatever. Far be it from Shion to guess at the mysteries of whatever game Onee was playing with her friends, or to what point and purpose this question was for.

"Glass is nice." she said, half-shouting over the general din as she lifted her tray above a passing customer's head. "But metal is cool too. I don't know, I've never really thought about it."

She would've asked more about whatever insane activity Onee and her friends were about to try next, but then one of her tables caught her attention with a call for their order, and she had to slip away again with barely a nod and a shouted farewell.

~*~

For all the fact that Shion was supposed to be the daintier, more feminine twin, she had never really –quite– gotten the hang of girly stuff. Oh, she had learned to enjoy lipstick and long hair and makeup and all of those other polished little glittery bits and pieces, but she had never really… settled into it. Her makeup was the brands her mother used, she had used the same basic routine since she was twelve to wash and dry and comb her waist-length hair and keep it in order, and her outfits were cute, or even elegant at times, but not particularly… inspired.

Shion had her habits, essentially, the familiar pieces of femininity that she had picked up along the way, and she was neither interested nor really prepared to go beyond them. She had actually grown to love being feminine over her years as Shion, feeling polished and clean and beautiful in her outfits and her makeup and her perfect poise and balance –but that was really it.

At St. Lucia's, giddy discussions of makeup and brands had flown right over Shion's head, and when she was forcibly dragged into them, the best she could muster was a disinterested "Eh," or "Sure." Quite frankly, the idea of spending more than fifty dollars on any one garment was ridiculous to her, and the many subtle shades and consistencies of makeup an endless cycle of splitting increasingly miniscule hairs.

So when Rena had stopped her on her way back to Okinomiya from one of the rare few club sessions she could actually attend, Shion had been surprised and uncertain of just how to deal with the string bracelet Rena tipped into her hand. It had a band of tightly-woven colors, with a single gem-like green faceted glass bead glittering in the center, and two silver beads chasing the ends before the looser, smaller braids that formed the actual ties.

"Uh… thanks?" Shion said, staring at the coil of thread and beads in the palm of her hand. Rena's cheeks puffed out with the strength of her indignant breath.

"It's a friendship bracelet!" she elaborated, lifting and waving one hand. Shion noticed, as if seeing for the first time, that Rena was wearing a matching bracelet –same thread colors, but the glass bead was amber and the two metal beads copper.

"Oh." she said, and then her eyes widened. "Oh."

A small part of Shion felt oddly small, humbled. The rest of her was faced with dealing with the fact that Rena considered her a friend.

Had she ever had friends, other than Onee? Even Satoshi-kun had never really been her friend –not initially, at least, and not for long. Kasai was more of a caretaker than a friend. The people at her school had been either completely unlikeable or timid as sheep.

A friend.

"Well then, Rena-san, I hope this thing is waterproof." Shion announced, making a show of sliding it onto her wrist and tying it off. She lifted her arm to show Rena, and grinned at her. "Because I am never taking it off."
