Chapter 3 - Chapter 3- Lovesick:

It Was The Afternoon, Sakiko Was Just Walking Home From Her College After Studying For A Long Time. As The Snow Gently Flurried Down, The White Powder Coated Everything In Its Path, Creating A Serene And Tranquil Atmosphere. The Street Was Peaceful And Quiet, With Only The Sound Of The Wind Whistling Through The Trees To Break The Silence.

Sakiko Could Feel Her Breath Forming A Small Cloud In Front Of Your Face, As The Cold Air Hit Her Skin. Sakiko Was Already A Very Well Known Girl At Her School Respectfully, She Was Dubbed The Prettiest And Had Is Easy To Make Friends However She Was Occasionally Shy Around Boys, Especially On Teshima A Quiet Laid Back Student And A Good Friend Of Hers.

However Revealing Her Feelings Would Be Difficult Due To Minako (Her Childhood Best Friend) Being Also In Love With Him Too. As She Arrived At Back Home, Her Grandfather (Which She Was Living With Due To Her Parents Being On A Business Trip) Was At His Workshop. He Used To Work At Doug's Burger Barn Before But Later Left After A Back Injury.

"Oh Hey Sakiko... How Was School?" He Smiled As He Was Fixing Some Kind Of Mechanical Bird, It Mostly Resembled An Eagle. "Oh It Was Pretty Fun As Usual... So What You Working On?" She Answered While Laying Down Her Bag On A Spare Chair. "Oh This Is An Iron Hawk, The First Animatronic Ever To Be Created And I'm Seeing If I Can Resurrect This Ancient Piece Of Technology" He Nods With A Firm Face.

"What Does This Bird Do Exactly?" She Asked Becoming More Curious By The Second. "I'm Glad You Asked, This Bird Was Designed To Help People Through Advice And Tips, Completely For Free" He Paused Before Continuing, "It Was Scrapped Due To Not Fitting In With The Original Band" He Explains While Scratching His Beard.

"Oh Really? I Wanna See It In Action!" She Said In A Giddy Tone While Her Grandfather Shook His Head Grinning "You Kids Really Have No Patience Do You? I'll See What I Can Do" He Nodded Before Screwing In Place The Head And Placing In Lithium Battery Cells Inside The Mechanical Creatures Chest.

They Then Waited In Anticipation And Hope, Then Suddenly The Bird Powered On Flapping It's Wings As Both Of Them Looked On In Amazement Sakikos Grandpa Had His Mouth Fallen Agape. "Whom's The One Whom Brought Me Back?" The Bird Asked Turning Its Head Examining Them Both.

"Uh It Was Me" Sakikos Grandfather Pointed To Himself As He Stutters In Amazement. "Hmm Thanks For Bringing Me Back From An Eternal Slumber" The Bird Nodded. "Hmm Would You Like Sakiko To Be You're Owner?" He Asked The Metallic Bird.

"Oh I Mean Are You Sure Grandpa I Mean He Might Not Like Me" She Shakes Her Head Turning Down The Idea. "Hmm I'd Love To Since She Is In Her College Years It Seems, Meaning That's When Thou Shall Want Tons Of Help And Advice" The Bird Explained Squawking At The End.

"Well You Two Seem Like You're Gonna Be Best Buds Already So Have Fun With Him While I Get Some Booze" Her Grandfather Nodded Before Handing The Bed And She Squeaked With Surprise As Her Grandfather Left She Took Him Upstairs Into Her Bedroom.

As She Placed The Metal Bird Down It Scanned Her Room So It Knew Everything About Her Personality. "Hmm A Girly Type However Most Shy" The Bird Nodded. "Wait How Did You Know That?" She Looked Shocked With Her Eyes Widening. "Thou Say To A Lot From A Person's Room" The Bird Explained.

"Hmm I've Also Detected What Thou Want Most Help On That Being Love" The Bird Explained With A Nod. "Oh Uhh... No I Swear It's Not That... Fine It Is Kinda" She Stutters Before Agreeing To His Statement. "So What's The First Step?" She Asked With Her Eyes Glistening. "Hmm Mine Advice Is To Discover Him A Gift Of Love" The Bird Explained.

"Oh... Like A Present I Mean My Crush Does Like Watches So I'll Give Him That" She Nods. "Perfect Thinking Keep Following This Advice And Thou Art Guaranteed To Catch Thou Art Crush" The Bird Spoke Happily.

"Alright Tomorrow I'll Gift Him A Watch" She Jumped Into Bed With Happiness Hoping The Birds Wise Words Were True. She Wore Pink Pajamas With Her Top Button Open Usually Revealing Her Large Cleavage As Her Beautiful Black Hair Fell Down Against Her Shoulders As She Slept Like A Princess.

The Next Day, The Bustling College Cafeteria Was Filled With Students And Filled With Loud Loud Voices And The Clatter Of Utensils And Dishes . The Scents Of Freshly Brewed Coffee, Warm Baked Goods, And Hot Lunch Wafted Through The Air, Making Your Mouth Water.

Students Of All Ages And Backgrounds Were Talking, Laughter, And Sharing Stories, Creating A Lively Atmosphere. Sakiko Looked All Over The Place To Find Teshima As She Carried A Miniature Black Box Where It Held A Beautiful Watch. "Hmm Where Could He Be?" She Scanned Around The Room Before Seeing Him Sit Down On One Of The Chairs.

As She Spotted Him She Instantly Sat Down, Teshima Instantly Noticing "Oh Hi Sakiko How Are You?" He Waved To Her With A Smile As He Dug Into His Hot Dog. "Oh Hi Teshima I'm Feeling Great Today" She Stutters Her Shyness Already Taking Over But I Really Wanna Show You Something" She Nodded With A Smile And A Face Of Determination.

"Oh What's That? You've Peaked My Interest Already" He Chuckled Licking The Ketchup Off His Lips. "Well I Know How You Like Watches So I Decided To Get You This" She Explained Opening The Small Black Box Revealing A Golden And Red Watch. "Oh For Me? You're So Sweet" He Smiled.

"Oh Yeah It's Token Of My L-Lo.. I Mean Appreciation For Being My Friend" She Stutters Before Smiling Nervously. "Oh Yeah Friendship Of Course Haha Here I Thought You Liked Me" He Chuckled Examining The Watch. Sakiko Could Feel Her Sweat Dripping Over Her Body It Seemed She Chickened Out Again Due To Shyness.

"Uh.. I Need The Toilet So I'll Be Right Back" Sakiko Said With A Blushing Face Attempting To Escape Embarrassment As She Rushed Off Her Seat, Teshima Looked In Confusion But Carried On Looking At The Watch Then A Little Note Slipped Out As Teshima Picked It Up He Examined The Message.

"Teshima, I'll Probably Be Too Shy To Say This In Person But I Truly Love Please I Want You're Heart So Badly" The Note Stated Teshima Reacting With A Deep Blush Shaking His Head "Oh Sakiko You're Always Are A Worrywart" He Chuckled Before Leaving His Seat.

However Minako Was Watching The Entire Ordeal Unwind Which Caused Her To Clench Her Fists In Anger. "Sakiko... How Could You... I Layed Eyes On Him First... I Won't Let You Get Away With This" She Thought To Herself In Anger.

As Sakiko Returned Home, She Threw Her Bag Against The Ground Curling Up In Her Bed In Anger, She Thought She Should've Been Braver And Not A Chicken Like Always. "Ugh... Why Am I Always Such A Shy Chicken?" She Sighed With A Depressed Expression. The Mechanical Bird Turned On After Hearing Her Voice, "Sakiko I Warrant He Liked The Gift However That Was Only The First Step" The Bird Explained With A Nod.

Sakiko Got Up Rubbing Her Eyes Hoping The Next Piece Of Advice Could Help. "What's The Next Advice? Iron Hawk?" She Asked Waiting In Anticipation. The Mechanical Bird Scratched Its Chin With Its Talons As It Thought. "Hmm I Suggest Thou Hie 'I And Express Thou Art Feelings Say All's That's 'I Thou Art Heart I Be Sure He Shall Understand" The Bird Nodded.

So She Decided To Follow Up On The Advice Of The Bird And Met Teshima Again However When She Walked Past A Group Of Girls One Of Them Minako She Was Met With Dirty Looks. However Sakiko Kept To Herself Like Always Just Like Her Grandpa Told Her.

Then She Saw Teshima Again And Decided To Do What The Iron Hawk Said That Being Expressing Her Feelings Fully She Instantly Rushed At Teshima As She Presses Her Body Against Him Teshima Blushed Profusely Teshima Could Her Breasts Pressing Up Against His Chest Causing His Heart Rate To Spike.

"Oh Uh... Sakiko? Is Everything O-Ok?" He Stutters With A Blush As His Body Heat Rose To That Of A Volcano. "Teshima... Please I Love You So So So Much, Let Me Devote Myself To You, I've Loved You Ever Since We First Became Friends I Was Always Shy But Now I've Built Up The Courage To Do This Please Accept Me As Something More Than A Friend" She Explained With Pleading Eyes.

Teshimas Mind Was Flooded With This Explanation And Couldn't Speak For About 5 Minutes As He Couldn't Comprehend This Was Happening However He Spoke Again. "Sakiko... I... I'll Be Happy To Go Out With You" He Smiled With Rosy Red Cheeks. "Uh But We'll Speak More On This Topic When I've Finished Class Ok?" He Nodded.

"Oh Uh Yeah That's Fine" Her Heart Was Fluttering Like Crazy As He Left She Waved To Him In Joy, She Was More Happy Than Ever Before. "Finally I've Gotten What I've Wanted Thank You Iron Hawk" She Whispered To Herself In A Sweet Tone.

However She Was Then Surrounded By Three Girls Which Blocked Her Path, Causing Her To Give A Confused Look. "Could I Help You?" She Looked Worried As She Looked At Them. Then From Behind Of Three Came Minako With An Angry Expression And Tears.

"Minako... I... " She Wanted To Speak But Her Throat Too Was Choking On Tears. "How Could You! You Knew I Loved Him! You're A Selfless Bitch That's What You Are I Never Wanna See You Again!" She Yelled Before Walking Up To Her And Slapping Sakikos Cheek. Leaving A Red Handprint On Her Cheek And A Searing Pain.

Sakiko Was In Shock But Didn't Talk Back She Knew She Messed Up But She Also Knew It Wasn't Minakos Decision To Decide Who Teshima Is Supposed To Love. Minako Shook Her Head Before She Left With Her Trio Of Friends Just Before Saying "I Hope You Drop Dead" As She Walked Off With Anger And Hatred. Sakiko Left With Saddened Face.

Afterwards, Sakiko Went To Class Armed With A Fresh Notebook And Pens, Ready To Learn Something New. After Class, You Headed To The Library To Do Some Research For Your Essays. As The Day Drew To A Close, Sakiko Headed Back To Home As She Walked Through The School Hallway To The Front Doors. She Saw Teshima And Minako Together Outside Through Window Speaking To Each Other.

Sakiko Observed With A Worried And Concerned Expression Gripping Her Skirt With Worry. She Saw Them Talking And Minako Was Starting To Inch Closer And Closer Until Then... Sakikos Heart Was Shattered As Minako Kissed Teshima And He Kissed Her Back, The Tears Almost Instantly Came Down As She Weeped Loudly.

She Rushed Back Home Instantly In Tears, She Was Now Broken And Hurt Her Heart Felt It Was Wrapped In Spiky Barbed Wire As She Could Barely Breathe. She Was Now Completely Destroyed As A Person, She Was Back stabbed By Her Only Best Friend. As She Entered Her Home She Saw Her Grandfather Laying On The Couch Sleeping With Booze In Hand.

As He Got Upstairs She Instantly Fell Onto Her Knees Crying Loudly, As Her Cries Echoed Throughout The Home. The Bird Almost Instantly Heard Her, "Didst Some One Break Thou Art Heart? I Wot 'tis Tough" The Bird Comforted Her With Worried Voice.

"What Should I Do Now.. I've Lost The Only Love Of My Life... What's The Next Step Tell Me!" She Yelled With Red Eyes Due To The Excessive Crying. The Birds Eye Twitched Anger He Was Mad That Someone Broke His Owners Heart. He Then Dropped A Knife In Front Of Her As Sakiko Looked In Shock.

"The Only Thing Thou Doth, Is Confound The One Whom Surprised Thou, Murder" The Bird Said In A More Angry Tone Than Ever Before. As Sakiko Stared At The Silver Knife Her Reflection In The Blade She Nodded With A Maniacal Grin Her Eyes Almost Became Nothing But Dark Orbs.

"I'll Kill Minako And Then I'll Live With Teshima Forever!" She Giggled Maniacally. The Bird Nodded In Agreement, The Plan Was Now In Motion.

The Next Day, Teshima Took A Took A Brisk Walk Across The Bridge, The Snowflakes Dancing In The Air As The Wind Blew Gently In His Face. The Snow Blanketed Everything, Creating A Magical Atmosphere As Teshima Followed The Path.

As They Looked Out Across The Water, Minako Noticed The Ice Floes Floating Gently On The Surface. Teshima Also Took In The Peaceful Scenery On The Other Side Of The River, A Quiet Forest Of Tall Trees With A Canopy Of Snow.

For A Moment, They Were At Peace, Taking In The Beauty Of Nature And Enjoying The Serene Atmosphere. Minako Noticed Sakiko In The Distance In A Black Coat And Scarf.

With A Twisted Grin And Almost Black Pupils. Minako This Time However Had A Guilty Expression And A Worried Expression Too. Minako Walked Towards Her Reluctantly, "Look Sakiko I'm Sorry For Everything That Happened Yesterday But Truth Is He Truly Loved Me Not You... I'm Sorry" She Explained Witn Saddened Eyes.

Sakiko Shook Her Head In Anger As She Looked At Her, Her Eyes Almost Piercing Minakos Soul And Almost Instantly She Placed The Knife Near Her Throat And Sliced Her Neck As Blood Sprayed Out Her Neck Like A Fountain. Teshima Looked On In Shock As Sakiko Laughed At Minakos Corpse.

A Police Officer Noticed The Ordeal And As He Cocked His Gun He Then Aimed His Gun Behind Sakiko, "Drop The Gun! You're Under Arrest! Drop The Gun!" He Yelled Sakiko Ignored As She Walked To Teshima. "I Got A 10-31" The Officer Whispered In His Walkie Talkie.

"Teshima I'm Sorry But Now We Can Live Together Forever Just You And Me" Her Coat Was Covered In Wet Blood And Her Knife Dripped With Crimson Blood Too.

The Officer Then Had No Choice, A Loud Bang Was Heard As Sudden Hole Appeared In Sakikos Chest Blood Instantly Poured Out As She Fell Against The Floor With Tears. "11-79 Immediate Ambulance Please, I Got One Citizen Down And The Suspect Is Down Too In Critical Condition" Teshima Just Looked On In Shock He Was Speechless.

After That Day, Both Were Announced Dead On Arrival. The Japanese Police Then Also Raided Her Grandpa And Took The Mechanical Hawk Away Due To Being Tied In With The Crime, The Bird Also Attacked An Officer When Being Apprehended. The Bird Was Also Later Scrapped Due To Being Deemed Unsafe For Public Use Because Of The Many Potentially Dangerous Advice It Gave.
