Ring, ring



There was a man in his late thirties that woke up on the ground; his messy light brown hair hid his brown eyes as he got up and held his head.
“Aw man,” he muttered, “I got a stupid hangover again.”
Ever since he divorced his wife, he lived in a run down apartment and constantly drank. His friends and family stopped going near him since he would usually lash out as if he was still under the effects of the alcohol.
“Think, what did I do yesterday...?” He tried to remember what happened.
“私は〜あなたが思うよりも危険だ” a female voice echoed in his mind as he stood up. He pulled on some clothes that were lying on the ground and walked into the kitchen.
“Who said that...?” He wondered aloud as he went to the fridge to get some breakfast.
He pulled out a frozen pizza and took a bit from it only to spit it out. It tasted like garbage, literally. He threw the pizza away, walked to the TV, and turned it on to the news.
“ Another victim of these Bell Killings has been found in an alleyway,” the reporter said, “Police say that his hands were grabbing onto something before he was killed and are trying to find the killer as we speak. The only other clue is a bell picture and a symbol that was recently found out to be the Japanese word for bell.” The man rolled his eyes at the news.
“That's all they ever show,” he muttered, “However, I do know the possible gender of the killer with the victim's hands.” The man used to be a detective before he was fired, so he is good at deducing. “Obviously, given the cuts on his being, he died of blood loss, which explains why the picture and the symbol are red. With his hands, it proves that the killer is most likely female, because his hand are slightly formed as if he was grabbing a woman's chest. There is one thing that the police missed; there are two alcohol bottles at the scene. One of them is empty and intact, while the other one has shattered and left a pool as if it was full; it also has the Japanese kanji for sake.” The man scoffed after saying this.
“It's been a while since I did some deducing. Maybe I should consider stopping my drinking habits and rejoin the detective scene again...” He knew that his sub-conscious wouldn't allow him to do so, seeing how he would always listen to the sub-consciousness of himself.




That night, he was walking home from a bar drunk and was muttering something that was beyond understanding. Before he could turn a corner, he saw a girl gesturing him to come over.
She wore a black Oriental dress that showed some chest, went to her mid-thigh, and had a slit that almost went to her waist, long hair that looked dark pink, a Japanese fox mask that covered her face, a brown pouch, some black rope, and no shoes. She was also holding an unopened bottle of sake.
The man, being drunk, fell for it and walked up to her.
“Hey babe,” he said as he put his hand around her waist, “What are you doing out here alone?”
“ビジネスは、ヒト、私をここ呼びかけている ” she replied, obviously not speaking in English.
“Yeah?” he asked, not really knowing what she said as the girl wrapped both her arms around his neck. Unbeknownst to the man, the girl had a knife in her hand. “Well then, let's have some fun, then, shall we?” He grabbed the girl's chest.
At first, it barely felt like grabbing, but as the man's lust grew from the alcohol, it grew more and more noticeable.
Then, the man felt a sharp slash behind his neck and let go. The girl then dropped the sake.
Causing the bottle to shatter.
“リング、リング ”



“This just in,” the news reporter said, “Another victim of the Bell Killings has been found in an alleyway. The man's hands were the same as the last victim, and the same clues besides the body remain.”



Ring, ring
Here it is.
My PG-13 story.

Notes:
    -The reason I never mentioned the man's name is because I could never think of a good name.
    -In the story, the bell is drawn in red and is not colored in. Also, there is the Japanese word for "bell" written with the picture in blood as well.
    -I got the name for Tamae's kills from the game Murdered: Soul Suspect. I didn't realize it until after I typed the name down.

Tamae (c) Me



EDIT: To avoid confusion, no, Tamae isn't a non-virgin (that's what I'm calling it). The mask just has that dress. When I make the origin story, it will be explained better.
In summary, the mask is inhabited by an ancient Japanese spirit that punished men who cheated on their wives. There might actually be a spirit like that somewhere in actual Japanese mythology, but I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment =P
