Chapter 5: Episode 5
Danny stands in his backyard. 'Come on! Pick up!' He calls Sakura but she doesn't answer. "Damn!" He groans as he looks down at his phone.
"Danny?" His mother asks him as she stands in the back door. She lets out a yawn.
He sighs. "Sorry mom. Didn't mean to wake you. I'm just trying to call a friend." 'Damn! I shouldn't yell this late in the night.'
"Are you trying to call Sakura?" She asks concern.
'How did she know?' He nods. "As a matter of fact I am. How did-"
"She left her number just in case I made chicken again. Hold on. I'll go get the number." She walks inside.
'Thank goodness she gave her a number. Maybe it's her home one instead of her cellphone one.' Suddenly, his phone rings. 'Sakura!' He quickly answers. "Hey I need to-"
"Meet me at the park in front of city hall." A mans voice answers before hanging up.
'Sakura?' His eyes widen. 'She must be in trouble!' He puts his phone away. He runs past his mom through the hall.
"Danny?" She asks confused.
"I'm just heading out. I'm meeting with Sakura." He kisses his mothers cheek. "Love you!" He rushes out the front door.
She nods. "Okay?"

"AhhhhHHHHHHH! FUCK!" Sakura screams in pain as Ava pulls her hair back in a bun.
Ava smiles. "I can't wait until you suffer." She puts a purple bow in her hair. "Now on with your makeup!" She pulls a chair in front of Sakura.
Sakura looks at her strangely. "Why are you helping him?"
"That's my business. I believe he can change things. Something a dumb human can never do." Ava says as she begins to put makeup on Sakura's face. "Purple definitely suits you."
'What's her game? I know this is all going to be put in a act. But how? Danny is in trouble and I need to make sure he doesn't get hurt.'
Ava hums as she continues to put makeup on her.
*Next Scene*
Danny rushes to the park. 'Almost there! I have to make sure Sakura is okay!' He stops when he gets to the entrance. 'Okay. Time to find her.' He slowly walks around. Looking around the park. 'Where could she be?'
Something moves behind him.
'Maybe this was a prank?' He groans. 'That wouldn't make since. Why would she do this?' He shakes his head.
"So you came?"
He freezes. Slowly turning around. His eyes widen. "Kyouko?"
His sister, Kyouko, stands there smiling. A long sword in her hand. "Can't believe you showed."
He shakes his head. "Is this some joke? Where's Sakura?" 'She better not be messing with me!'
She rolls her eyes. "Don't worry. Your little girlfriend is safe. For now. She has a few minutes before the show begins."
"Show? What show? Are you two playing a joke?" He stares at her confused.
She grips her sword. "Does this look like a joke to you? Does any of this seem like a joke?" She walks around him slowly. Watching him.
He watches her too. 'The sword looks real. But this has to be some sick joke.'
"Come out Joker. Danny won't fight. He'll listen." Kyouko says as she stops in front of Danny.
A boy appears out of thin air next to Kyouko. "Can't believe this dweeb is your brother." He takes off his hood. He had red hair with bright red eyes.
Kyouko nodded. "Yeah. Danny is nothing but a weakling." She pulls out her phone. "Say the show is about to start." She grins big. "Say dear little brother. Why don't you watch." She tosses her phone on the ground causing a halo gram to pop up. A timer was counting down. "Just a few seconds and you'll see your pretty Sakura."
Danny looks at her confused. 'That guy! He came from nothing! How?' He thinks back to the sword coming out of his hand. 'Maybe..maybe he is just like Sakura?'
"Is someone confused?" Kyouko crosses her arms. "I remember when I first went through my interrogation."
Joker chuckles. "Yeah. I remember who my kill was." He grins.
She nods. "Mine was someone me and Danny looked up to."
Danny looks at her. "What the hell are you talking about? Kyouko tell me! Now!" 'Damn it! I want answers.'
She grins. "Ever since I was little I knew I was great at things." She frowns. "Until you were born. I was supposed to be the one grandfather chose! But no! You had to be born!" She yells. "I hated the moment you were born and I still do. I never stopped hating you." She grins. "That's why when I had my chance to make sure your life would never be wonderful ever again would to take away the one person to do so."
Danny's eyes widen. "No..."
"That's right. I tried to kill our wonderful grandfather. It wasn't hard either. I pretended to be depressed and he took the bait. Hell he didn't even fight back. Even after I punched an kicked him. Repeatedly. He didn't do anything. Nothing at all. I thought I killed that old prick but I was surprised when the news came out that he survived. And he was in a coma. I was going to finish him but I thought if I kept him alive it would be better. Since you could watch him slowly die. Each year." She smiles at him.
Danny falls to his knees. 'No..no! This can't be! She has to be joking!'
"I wish she was." Joker answers, as if he was reading his mind. "Your sister is batshit crazy." He looks over at her smiling. "That's why I love her."
She smiles back. "The truth hurts. Doesn't it?"
"W-What about mom?" He asks confused.
She smiles. "Poor dear momma doesn't know anything. I told her that grandfather was a awful human. All he ever did was hurt me." She grins. "And she believed me. That's why she hates them so much."
"Why? Why couldn't you just talk to me about all this?" He asks as he looks up at her.
She rolls her eyes. "And not enjoy watching everyone you care about slowly die in front of your eyes."
The timer begins to count down from five.
"Oh! The show is going to start!" Joker laughs.
Kyouko grabs Danny's hair. Pulling him to face the timer. "I want you to watch her."
The screen goes black for a moment but suddenly a man in a cloak appears.
"Welcome everyone!" The man grins. "I want to make sure you see this beautiful piece we have here tonight!" He moves out of the way to show Sakura standing with her arms above her head tied. A crowd screams in excitement. "I know! She really is gorgeous."
Sakura looks around the millions of people all cheering. 'Oh god!' She closes her eyes. 'Please just let this be fast.'
