Information before the story:
some of you might already know this or not am still gonna explain this.
Daruma-san, also known as The Bath Game, is probably best described as a deadly version of Red Light, Green Light. After the initial summoning ritual has been performed, it follows the basic rules of a Japanese children’s game called Darumasan ga Koronda — literally, “The Daruma doll fell down.” The player is “it,” while Daruma-san attempts to catch “it.” But if Daruma-san catches you… well, let’s just say you should never, EVER let that happen.
Warning: some of you might think that this is just a hoax and wanted to try it but please don’t as I always say curiosity kills the cat (Ironic I’m an Idiot cat anyway hehe…)
Alice: As all of you might know The Bath game/ Daruma-san has a movie titled “as the gods will” the bath game is only part of the movie anyway and Master haven’t watched it anyway. It’s not that were promoting it but if you seek exciting and thrilling stuffs try watching it.
Bakaneko: Yup… Alice is right. So here we are presenting our own made story version of daruma-san also known as the bath game. AGAIN WARNING DON’T TRY PLAYING IT EVEN HOAX OR NOT YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY.

Bakaneko: STOP! Let’s just go with the story

“What are ghosts Mr.Roberts?”
“In folklore, mythology, and modern media such as literary fiction, a ghost (sometimes known as a spectre [British English] or specter [American English], phantom, apparition, spirit, spook, or haunt) is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a séance.
The belief in manifestations of the spirits of the dead is widespread, dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre-literate cultures. Certain religious practices—funeral rites, exorcisms, and some practices of spiritualism and ritual magic—are specifically designed to rest the spirits of the dead. Ghosts are generally described as solitary essences that haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were associated with in life, though stories of phantom armies, ghost trains, phantom ships, and even ghost animals have also been recounted.”
Watching the show on TV Ren got tired of watching it and turned it off.
“What’s with that Wikipedia like answer for some reason I feel like he just crib that answer on google”
Like how Ren’s life goes he took a bath wear his uniform like any other students would do.
As he was walking he met some of his friends greet them and go to school together.
While walking they talked about much stuff.
“So Ren have you heard of the news?” Said a girl with long red hair reaching her hips
“what news Kairi?”
“Well they said that Rito committed suicide”
…
Silence enveloped them as kairi told that Rito committed suicide. After a few moment of silence Kairi continued telling the whole story.
“Well Rito’s body was found inside a closet in his room holding a knife that was stabbed on his stomach”
“For some reason I kinda get why he did it, he blames his self for Shana’s death and after that Rito have delusions of talking to Shana as if she was alive, He couldn’t take the guilt anymore so he committed suicide that’s my conclusion I guess”
“Good work there Sherlock but you haven’t let me finish yet as part of the mystery research club we will unravel the mystery of Rito’s death”
“And why would you think like that”
“It is said that at seen of the crime there they find a doll wet filled with rice and also a cup of water but I’m pretty sure its salted water, From the evidence I found and my own conclusion”
“Ok let’s hear it then”
“Rito played the one man hide and sick”
“hmm… ok go on”
“Well it’s as you say Rito was guilty of Shana’s death so he played one man hide and seek expecting to call on Shana’s spirit “
“So your saying that it was Shana’s ghost who killed Rito?”
“I didn’t say that but that’s my conclusion”
“Why would Shana even kill Rito”
“I dunno but I think it has to do with what happened last year”
Ren observed that Kairi was always looking behind her as if someone was there but he didn’t care and just continued walking to school while talking.
After talking they reached the school gates and separated going to their respected rooms.
After school like everyday Ren go to his club room also known as the mystery research club.
“Your kinda early Ren, Kairi’s still not here” said a guy with glasses and he looks like the intellectual type person
“I see, so what are you reading there Akira?”
“nothing much just the news about Rito’s death”
“I see”
After that Ren sat near the window also known as the Ren zone it is said that once Ren sat on his spot no one can stop him from looking outside except Kairi who always pester him.

And the last one to came was Kairi the president of the club.
“So all of us are already here, Okay I’ll start with our agenda today as all of you know there’s only 5 days before Halloween and I’m thinking we should play games” said Kairi holding some papers and giving it to the members.
“Ok we will play all of those to see if it hoax or not as the mystery research club it’s our job to discover the mystery of this games”

Hanako-san
the bathgame/ Daruma-san
‘Wait is hanako-san even a game?’ Rito read through it and see that the the bathgame/ daruma-san was crossed out.
“Kairi why is the bathgame crossed out?” Ren asked Kairi.
“Well I’m actually doing the game right now teehee…”
Ren skimmed through the papers till he found the description of the bath game.
1 player
Requirement:
A bathtub
Instruction:
The Prelude:
1. Begin at night, just before you got to bed.
2. Shed your clothing and enter the bathroom. Fill the bathtub with water and turn out the lights.
3. Climb into the tub and sit down facing the faucet and taps. Close your eyes and begin washing your hair.
4. As you wash your hair, repeat the words “Daruma-san fell down. Daruma-san fell down.” Do not stop repeating them until you have finished washing your hair. Do not open your eyes.
5. If you have performed this action correctly, you will gain a mental image of a Japanese woman standing in a bathtub. She will slip and fall, landing face first on a rusty tap and gouging her right eye out.
6. Should you hear any noise behind you or feel movement in the tub, do NOT turn around and do NOT open your eyes. Ask aloud, ‘Why did you fall in the bathtub?”
7. Allow the question to hang in the air. Then, keeping your eyes shut, carefully stand up and get out of the tub. Do not trip and fall yourself, and do not drain the tub. Exit the bathroom, shutting the door behind you.
8. You may now open your eyes. Leave the bathroom as you left it — water in the tub, door shut — until morning. Do not turn on any lights.
9. Go to sleep.
The Main Event:
1. Awaken at your usual time. The game begins the moment you open your eyes.
2. Go about your day as normal. You will feel a constant presence behind you; it is likely that, should you turn to look, you will see nothing. However, glancing over your right shoulder may occasionally reveal a glimpse of her. Her hair will be black and tangled, and she will have only one eye.
3. She will attempt to get closer and closer to you as the day goes on. Should you spot her and find that she is too close for comfort, shout “Tomare!” — that is, “Stop!” — and run away. The idea is to put some distance between you and her;do NOT allow her to catch you.
The Ending:
1. Capture her in your gaze by looking over your right shoulder.
2. Shout “Kitta!” — that is, “I cut you loose!” — while swinging your arm down in a chopping motion. If you have performed this action correctly, a winning condition will have been achieved and the game will be over.
3. If you have NOT performed this action correctly… run
So that’s why she was always looking back when we were walking.
“So any luck with it?” Ren asked Kairi
“Nothing really well I- I’m ju-just you know testing th-the waters so I think nothing will ha-happen really”
After Ren asked that Kairi was sweating looking at the hand mirror she was holding in front as if she was looking on her back.
After a few seconds all of the people inside the club room felt cold for some reason then…
“TOMARE!” Kairi shouted and suddenly run outside of the club room.
‘I don’t believe this Kairi being scared of this wait’ Ren was on the right side behind Kairi while kairi was standing near the window, Ren looked at the window and he caught a reflection of a girl with black hair with pale skin with one hollowed eye.
Seeing that Ren also stand up on his chair and followed Kairi.
Everyone just watched at the event that happened in front of them.
“What’s happening desu?” said Marika.
“I dunno but from the looks of it Kairi already did one of the game listed” said Akira.
“…” Kaito was just silently looking at the window.
Running, Ren saw Kairi Running on the stairs going down.
“Kairi wait up!”
“No! she is following me I can’t”
“But can’t you just stop the game”
“I did but for some reason I always fail and even if I did it correctly she was always there”
They continued while running until they got out of the campus running through the gate.
“Hey There’s still classes what are you two running for” said the guard on the gate.
“uhmm this is urgent so please” Ren said that while still following Kairi behind.
They were still running until Kairi stopped in middle of the road.
“TOMARE!” she shouted.
“Beep! Beep!” a truck was about to hit kairi until
“KAIRI!”
Ren pushed Kairi out of the road and instead of Kairi, Ren was hitted by the truck.
Kairi was shocked of what happened until she saw a girl with black hair with one hollowed eye in her shoulder out of anger.
“KITTA” she shouted and swinged her arm in a chopping motion on the girl behind her shoulder
The girl didn’t disappear and instead looked at her while smiling eerily.
The girl was getting closer to her she wanted to run, Then for some reason she saw Ren was standing in front of her he turned around.
“it will be over-“ Ren said
After that both Ren and the girl disappeared.
Getting back to her sense she remembered that Ren was hitted by the truck she came running to him. But it was too late.
Ren died.
