Chapter 1

"How was your day?" I said as I grabbed his jacket. "Busy." He said as he began taking his shoes off and headed towards the kitchen. I opened the closet door and as I went to hang up his jacket something fell out of his left pocket. I reached down to grab it and noticed it was his white handkerchief with a red lipstick stain on the back. I thought to myself why would he have a red lipstick stain on his handkerchief especially since I don't wear lipstick. Kenichi turns and looks up and notice I picked up his handkerchief and immediately runs over and snatches it from my hand. "What do you think you're doing?" He raised his voice in anger. "Have you been seeing her again?" I asked as I waited for an answer. "What are you talking about?" He asked as he walked back towards the kitchen to grab a beer from the fridge. "I haven't been seeing anyone."

"You know what the hell I'm talking about Kenichi" I shouted as I slammed my hand against the wall. "That girl from before you promised you wouldn't see her again."

"I don't know what you're talking about Sae but you better watch your tone." He said as he raised his voice. "You don't know what I'm talking about? Bullshit Kenichi! Then what is this? I shouted as I grabbed the handkerchief from his hand showing him the lipstick stain on the back. At that moment I could see the fire in his eyes and as he steps closer to me he raised his hand to my face striking me down. "Now look at what you've made me do." He said as he looked down on me. "You should have just left it alone." He grabbed a towel from the kitchen drawer and tossed it at me. "Now clean yourself up, we have company coming over," he said as he walked away. I stood up and went to the bathroom to clean up. I looked in the mirror as I splashed water on my face and thought to myself "I don't know how much more I can take." Before I could finish cleaning up he yells out "They're here, answer the door!" I opened up the bathroom door and walked out towards the front door and opened it. "Hello welcome to our home. Come on in," I said as I took their jackets and hung them up in the closet. I went to the kitchen to prepare their meals. While I was waiting for the rice to cook I brought out some tea for them to drink while they wait. As I started placing down their teas cups on the tables I notice Kenichi with the sake in his hand. Whenever Kenichi drinks aside of him comes out that I don't like that no one should be around to witness. It hasn't been but five minutes and you could tell he already had enough "Kenichi you should slow down a bit ok? You know how you get when you drink too much." I said as i handed him his tea cup. He looked at me "Shut up. Mind your own damn business woman." he said as he pushed me down causing the tea cup to fall out of my hand shattering on the ground. "You clumsy bitch! Look what you did. Now clean that shit up!" I stood up and went to the kitchen to grab a dustpan and a broom and a wash cloth to clean up the tea. After grabbing those things I went back to the living room to clean up the mess but when I got there Kenichi had already left. "Wheres Kenichi?" I asked as I bent over to clean up the glass from the tea cup. "He went to clean himself up." the man named Abe said "But you can keep us company," he said as he grabbed my butt. "What the hell are you doing?" I shouted as I tried to stand up. "Nothing. Just come here." the other man named Koji said as he grabbed my arm pulling me on his lap. "Stop it! Let go of me!" I shouted as I tried pushing him away. After hearing me scream Kenichi walks out to the living "What the hell is going on here." He asked as he glared the three of us down waiting for an answer "I don't know Kenichi your wife just threw herself on us. We told her to stop but she wouldn't." Abe said "Yeah man you better check your wife who knows how many men she's tried to seduce," Koji said. I stood up "Kenichi that's not true. They're lying I swear I would never do that to you, you know that." I tried to explain but from the look on his face I could tell he didn't believe me "You do believe me don't you.?" Kenichi looks at his friends and then looks at me as he takes a deep breath "Yeah I believe you." he said in a calm tone as he walks over to me and hugs me. He looks at his friends and said: "You two should probably leave." "But Kenichi we." they both said as they stood up "Well talk about this tomorrow. Leave me with my wife." Kenichi said as he showed them the door  "I'm so glad you believed me Kenichi for a second I though..." I said as Kenichi slapped me in mid sentence. "Kenichi. Why, Why did you do that? I thought..." I asked in shock as I placed my hand on my right cheek "You nasty bitch!" He shouted. "But I thought," I said confused "You thought what? That I'd believe you over my friends? Come on we both know you're a nasty whore. Who knows who else you've been sleeping with behind my back." he said so cold heartedly. "But I didn't. I would never Kenichi you have to believe that." I said trying to convince him. "I don't have to believe anything you say. First, you accuse me of sleeping around then you intentionally spill tea on me and now you embarrassed me in front of my friends." He said shouted, "Get out."

"What?" I asked. "Get out of my face." He said quietly. "But Kenichi," I said as I reached for his hand. "Get out of my face now! I can't stand to look at you right now." He shouted as he pointed out of the living room. That night he never came to the room. The next morning went on as if nothing happened last night. I woke up I made his coffee and we went to work. Sometimes I wonder if this is truly my life. "Hey, Sae did you get the reports done last night?" My boss Mrs.Itoko asked me. "No I didn't sorry it was a hectic night," I said as I tried covering my right side of my face with my hair. "Whats wrong?" Itoko asked as she grabbed my arm and pulling my hair away from my face."Oh, God. What the hell happen?" she asked in shock "Sae who did this to you?" she demanded in concern. "No one. It was an accident." I said as I tried covering it back up. "An accident? Accident my ass. Sae this is the fifth time you've come to work with bruises and you wanna tell me it was an accident?" She shouted. "Itoko please calm down. I just..." I said as she cut me off. "You just what? she asked "Look you don't wanna tell me fine but how am I suppose to help if you won't tell me what's going on?" she asked. "I know I'm sorry I just can't," I said as I grabbed the papers from the copying machine. "Ok, I get it. I'll leave it alone for now but the next time you come in here like this I'm gonna be paying someone a visit," she said. "Yea ok," I said as I walked away. Since I didn't finish the reports that I was supposed to work on last night I stayed later than usual to finish so I wouldn't have any distractions. "Hey, Sae thanks for staying late to help out." Itoko said. "Are you going home now? Do you need a ride? she asked. "No I'm good thank you I can walk," I said with a smile as I grabbed my bag. "Ok. well I'll see you tomorrow," she said as she waved goodbye and walked out the building. As I started walking home I remembered that I forgot to text Kenichi letting him know I was gonna be working late but thought maybe he would understand. I walked up to my front door as I reached into my bag to find my keys the door swung open "Where the hell have you been? Do you know what time it is?" he shouted as he grabbed my arm pulling me inside and closing the door behind us."Yes I'm sorry I had to work late tonight and I lost track of time and forgot to text you to let you know," I said. Besides I was working it's not like I was bringing back a lipstick handkerchief. "You bitch!" he shouted as he slapped me to the floor causing my nose to bleed. "Who the hell do you think you're talking to?" he shouted, "Now get up I'm not done with you." I wiped the blood from my nose and stood up and quickly ran out the door. I ran until I couldn't run anymore and ended up at a park downtown. I walked over to the swing set and sat there wondering where the hell did I go wrong. The more I sat there the more I pictured the abuse the angrier I got. Flashbacks came flooding in of all the times he's ever hit me and for a brief moment I thought to myself "I wish he would die." and as I looked up I saw at the corner of my eye something flash red. I stopped the swing and looked over into the direction of where I saw the red light. I stood up and walked over towards the slide where I last saw the light and when I got closer I noticed a Gameboy that looked like one of those new handheld devices that kids play with but this one for some reason seemed slightly different than the ones I've seen the neighborhood kids play. I couldn't put my finger on it but when I picked it up it felt dark and menacing but for whatever reason I still took it home with me that night. I stayed up trying to figure out how to turn it on but nothing, before I knew anything it was five in morning and Kenichi, comes in asking where his coffee was but I was so focused on the Gameboy that I didn't hear him. He walked over to me and snatched the game out of my hand. "Did you not hear me? What the hell is this?" he said. "It's a Gameboy," I said as I tried reaching for it back. "Yea well now it's nothing," he said as he smashes it against the wall. "Maybe next you"ll listen. Now make my coffee I'm gonna be late for work." I make his coffee and handed it to him as he gets ready to walk outside. "I'm gonna be late coming home tonight so don't wait up," he said and he closed the door behind him. Though I knew what he had planned tonight and it wasn't gonna be work. Today was my day off but I still had a few errands to run. So my first stop was the grocery store. I've always liked going shopping. It was one of the few things I enjoy doing that would take my mind off of things. Today the grocery store was more busy then usual, and the lines were long but I didn't care that just meant more time for me to be out and about. I have to pick up some more tea because were low on his favorite blend. As i turned the isle i was stopped by and elderly lady. "Im terribly sorry my dear, i should be more mindful of my surroundings." she said with a faint smile. "That's quite alright. Im not in any rush today." She looked at me and said, "forgive me for prying but arent you usually in a rush. What's a pretty women as yourself always in a hurry for? You should slow down and enjoy life hun." She smiled and said, "dont want to end up old and gray before your time." She said with a laugh. "I usually am in a hurry but today im just here for tea." I said politely. After i picked up the tea i checked out and headed to the office to drop off some work.  "Hey, Kai is Itoko in?" I asked. "Yea she's in her office." he said. "Ok. Can you let her know I'm here to drop off some stuff for her," I asked. "Yea no problem," he said as he called her to let her know. "She said to come on in."

"Thanks," I said as I walked over to Itoko's office. "Hey, Sae you have something for me," she asked. 'Yea I have yesterday's report that you asked for." I said as I reached into my bag and handed her the papers. "Thanks. Just leave them right there," she said as she continued to type on her laptop. "By the way, there's some work I need you to look over for me I had someone put them on your desk."

"Ok. I'll look over them tonight," I said I walked out of her office. After leaving her office I headed over to my desk to grab the papers Itoko wanted me to look over on and noticed a brown paper bag sitting on my desk. I looked around to see who could of put it there. I then opened the bag and saw the Gameboy from before. I was sure Kenichi broke it this morning so how did it end up here on my desk. I walked over to Kai's desk "Hey did you happen to see who came by my desk today and dropped off this bag." I asked him with confusion. "No, I didn't. Sorry. The only person who came to your desk was me when Itoko had me put some paperwork on your desk other then that no one else has been to your desk." he said. "Ok thanks," I said as I walked back over to my desk. I didn't know what to think at that point so I grabbed the papers and the game and left the office. By the time I got home I was tired and since I knew Kenichi was gonna be home for awhile I decided not to make dinner so I headed upstairs to take a shower. After my shower, I headed back downstairs to the kitchen to make some tea before bed and as I went to pour the tea I accidentally knocked over my bag causing everything to fall out and I noticed the Gameboy. "I almost forgot about that," I said to myself. After putting everything back in the bag I took the Gameboy and sat down at the table. I sat there staring at the device for maybe ten mins before the screen turned on by itself. At first, there was nothing but a blue screen but after one min the title screen came on and it said "Hell's Gamer" and then seconds after that it said "Hello, this is Hell's Gamer. A device that allows you to trap the ones who has ever tormented you putting them through levels of hell and torture and only you can decide whether they survive or not. But there is one condition. Once you've had your revenge you live through the game you created for you tormentors for eternity. Will you continue? As it explained the nature of the game it showed in graphic details of people being tortured in various ways." I dropped the game as it hit the floor cuz I didn't know what to think. "Is this real? Is this even possible?" I thought to myself. I turned the Gameboy around to see if there was a game in it but there was no game it was empty. At that point, I freaked out so I put the Gameboy back in my bag and I stood up and headed up the stairs to the bedroom. I laid in my bed for two hours but couldn't sleep I kept thinking about that game and if it was real. As I turned around to get comfortable I heard some banging around downstairs I got up out of my bed and headed downstair to see what was going. As I turned the corner I saw two figures moving around in the dark, I reached to my left to turn on the lights and saw Kenichi and some woman fooling around on the couch "What the hell, Kenichi?" I shouted. "It's one thing to cheat on me but it's another to bring the bitch into our home." I continued to shout. He threw the girl to the floor and stood up. "Bitch you've got some nerve telling me what I can and can not do in my own home," he shouted as he started walking closer towards me. "Maybe I should go." the women said as she stood up. "No! Sit your ass down. You need to see this. This is what happens when a woman doesn't know her place." he said as he raised his fist up. "Now apologize and maybe I'll let this go." I spit in his face. "Go to hell," I said as I braced myself for what I knew was about to happen. He grabs me by my shirt and pins me against the wall and without warning punches me in the face causing me to bleed from my lips as he lets go of my shirt and I fall to the floor. The woman he brought ran out the house out of fear and he runs after her. "He'll pay for this," I said to myself. and in that moment the Gameboy that I left in my bag turned on and this time the screen was glowing red. I looked over at the bag and stood up as I started walking towards it. I pull the Gameboy out of my bag and what appeared on the screen was "Do you wanna continue Sae?" and with no hesitation, I clicked continue.

SEE YOU IN HELL
