The Cursed Game

It was Sunday and I was on my way to my teacher's house. It had been two days since his girlfriend Higuchi Katsura's funeral in Osaka and now he had returned Tokyo. I was sure I could cheer him up.

Thirty minutes later, I arrive and ring the doorbell. A second later my teacher appears. "Oda? Oda what are you doing here?"

"Now, now, you should call me Yumiko. And instead of Mr. Serizawa, how about Shiro?"

"Oda, it's too soon." I ignore him and waltz right in. "Oda, come on, Oda!"

"Shiro, please."

"Oda, you don't understand." He presents a piece of paper which saysCHEATER. "See, she knew!"

"Well, it won't change anything now, she's dead. She should have ended the relationship instead of ending herself. She should have fought for you instead of giving up."

He was silent

"Have you eaten?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Good, let's skip to the good part." I kiss him before he responds. "Hmmm, hmmm!"

"Wait I..."

"You know you want this," I smirk and grab his crotch.

"But I'm in mourning."

"I think you mean moaning." I take his right hand to my ass and he couldn't help but squeeze. I place my right leg around him.

"Oh fuck it," he moans.

A few seconds he's on the sofa and I'm on my knees pulling down the zipper with my teeth. "Yes, looks like you're happy to see me." I lick his mushroom cap which makes him moan. "See, what did I tell you?"

I resume licking and then goes down the shaft and reach his balls which I lick and kiss. If she was good enough, she would have been able to keep him but here he is. I begin bobbing my head and he places his left hand on the back of my head.

I could feel precum go down my throat as I felt many times in the past and each time was sweeter than the last.

"Oh Oda."

"Yumiko."

"Oh Yumiko! Oh Yumiko!"

That's right, think of me! Only me! His cock was getting harder and harder in my mouth and I take it out lick it some more and I smile. "You ready to fuck me now?"

He nods and I remove my violet thong and slide down his cock. "Oh fuck!" He moans and I begin bouncing up and down and he rest his hands on my breasts before unbuttoning. Once my blouse was open, I take his head into my cleavage. That's right, lay all your troubles to rest.

He undoes the front straps on my bra. He finds my hard red nipples and begins licking and sucking. I increase speed and we share another kiss before he takes over trusting upwards into me. "I love you," I moan.

A few minutes later I am on the bottom of the sofa while he is thrusting away. I wraps my legs around him. "Oh fuck, fuck, fuck! Fuck me, Shiro! Fuck me, Shiro! Fuck me, Shiro!"

We switch positions and he slaps my ass before re inserting himself inside my pussy and begins fucking me doggy. He licks my neck while cupping my breasts. How did I get so lucky?

"Oh fuck, I'm gonna cum!"

"Cum in me, make me yours!"

"I can't yet, don't want people finding out after the funeral."

"Yes that would be bad."

He thrusts faster and he quickly pulls out and cums all over my ass cheeks. He sighs happily. "See you needed that."

"Indeed I did."

"Shall I cook you lunch?"

"Yes. Will you stay for dinner?"

"Unfortunately I can't, I have work to do."

"Very well then."

I go to the bathroom to relieve myself and when I am done, while washing my hands, I smile at my reflection. Everything was good but suddenly Katsura's face appears. Impossible! I look behind me and see nothing. I turns around and he face was staring at me. A wicked smiles appears on her face. I splash some water on my face and when I look into the mirror again, it was my own reflection. It was just my imagination.

After lunch I was fucking Shiro again. "Shiro!"

"Yumiko!"

"Shiro!"

I switch and was now riding him in reverse. I look at the mirror at myself fucking but suddenly it wasn't my reflection but Katsura riding Shiro. I shriek and fall off the bed.

"What is it!?"

"The mirror!"

He looks at it but nothing was there. "Was it a bug?"

"No it was Katsura!"

"What?"

"It was Katsura riding you!"

"Katsura is dead, I found her along with the note."

"But, but."

"Yumiko, I think you've been working too hard and not enough sleep, perhaps you should skip classes tomorrow, tell them you're under the weather."

"No I'll be fine." He's right, Katsura is dead!

After we finish making love but not in front of the mirror, I leave.

As I make my way to my dorm room, I see a package on the foot of my door. It was addressed to me and the sender was the college. I don't recall ordering anything from the online bookstore especially since I could just go to the physical bookstore. Perhaps it was something I had forgotten about or perhaps I ordered by mistake when drunk. Oh well.

I enter my room and open the package.Huh? A video game? The Cursed Game. What? I never heard of this game, I certainly would have seen this in the gaming magazine. Maybe is it's an older game that's been ported. I start researching but couldn't find any information on the game. Red cover with black letters. I open the case and notice the disk was the same, red with black letters. I look at the bottom for scratches and at a quick glance I see Katsura staring at me. I shriek again and fall out of my chair. I groan and pick up the disk and look at it again but there was nothing but my own reflection. Maybe I should not go this evening. No, I'll just go to bed early.

An hour passes and I head over to the media department. I make my way until I reach a computer room and open the door.

"Oda-sama!" Four guys say in unison.

"Assemble on me men!"

We start doing poses.

"Ito Hide!

"Noda Akira!"

"Sakaguchi Daisuke!"

"Aizawa Kentaro!"

"Oda Yumiko!"

"We are the Five Leaf Clover!" We say in unison.

"Ok men it's time begin training for the gaming tournament. Grand Prize is ¥50,000,000 which means ¥10,000,000 each!" The guys start cheering. "And who will lead us to victory!?"

"Oda-sama!"

"That's right but before we get started, I need you all to take a look at this."

They all look.

"A new game?" Hide asks.

"Yes."

"The Cursed Game?"

"Yes. I've never heard of it before, no records no nothing. It was delivered to me by the college itself. Maybe I'm missing something."

Hide opens the case. "It's must be new; it's one of those fake physical games with a digital code."

"What!? That can't be!"

"What do you mean?"

"It had a disk; it came with a disk!"

"Well there's no disk in here, no spot for a disk it's a digital. See the code is 6606."

I was speechless. Did I imagine it?

"Perhaps we're meant to beta test it?" Akira questions.

"Possibly. Anyway let's see what we got," Daisuke says.

"Ok let's be quick, ten will be here before you know it."

"Yeah and then prepare for classes."

"I wonder will Professor Serizawa be up to it," Kentaro ponders.

"I think he will," like I didn't know, "His class was cancelled on Friday, Saturday and Sunday have passed and there hasn't been any messages saying his class is canceled so I'm sure he'll be back tomorrow."

"She's right, he has a job to get back to," Hide agrees. "Alright, let's check this game out."

"Wait! How do we know this will even work on a PC? There's nothing indicating PC or console," Kentaro questions. We don't even know the company that made this game."

"Well it was addressed to me by the college, the leader of Esport Five Leaf Clover Team! So I'll figure it out, duh!"

"Well let's get this show on the road," Akira says.

I try mySteamaccount and I type in The Cursed Game and comes up. "See, Ken?"

"That's our Oda-sama," Hide complements.

I look again and notice it say your life where the price would be advertised.

"Um?"

"I don't know why you're getting scared, Ken. It's clearly a clever marketing strategy."

"Well it's definitely got me intrigued," Akira says. "You think this is a new game that the tournament will have?"

"I haven't thought about that, this was a test so see if I would be ready for the tournament, why else would it be sent to me when the tournament is coming up? Those clever bastards! Now I am ready to play."

I select the game and input the code and it's accepted. A second later I install The Cursed Game. The screen goes black and then red. A second later a woman dressed in a white burial kimono appears, walking towards us and her face was concealed by her long black hair. A few minutes later she reveals her face and to my shock and horror it was Katsura again! She grins evilly at us or more like me.

The screen turns white and the wordsSLUT, WHORE, BOYFRIEND STEALER!Appear.

I was sweating, my heart was beating fast. The men thought this was part of the game, they didn't about Katsura. The screen changes again to red with black swirls and then suddenly we felt suction pulling us forward.

"What the hell!? Hide screams.

"What is this?!" Akira adds.

"We're being suck in! We're being sucked into the screen!" I scream.

"Run!" Daisuke screams.

I watch as Kentaro leaps to pull out the cord while we flee but we're pulled back with such force that I couldn't grab unto anything and then everything went black.

I come to at the sound of Kentaro calling my name. "Oda-sama, are you alright?"

"Yeah." He helps me to my feet and goes to help the others. I look around at it seems we're in old era village.

"Oda-sama!" Hide calls. "Oda-sama!" Akira calls. "Oda-sama!" Daisuke calls.

"We're all fine," Kentaro assures.

I nod.

"Where are we?" Hide asks.

"If I knew that I would have said it!" I snapped. We suddenly notice a fox approaching us. "What?"

"Um?"

"A fox?" Daisuke questions.

"It's not an average fox," Kentaro corrects him.

"What?"

"It's a Kitsune."

We all look at him. "You're joking," Hide says.

"What the young man says is true," the Kitsune says.

"The fox just talked! The fox just talked!" Akira screams.

"Indeed."

"Where are we?" I ask.

"You all are in The Cursed Game."

"The Cursed Game?"

"Indeed."

"Are you kidding me? You're saying we're in the video game?!" Hide screams.

"Indeed!"

"But how?"

"Why are we here!?" Daisuke demands.

"You're here because of her," he points at.

"What!?" All of us exclaimed and they look at me. Suddenly Katsura appears smiling evilly at us or rather me.

"That woman!" Kentaro exclaims.

"Indeed, this woman has you all here. Her name is Higuchi Katsura. She was the girlfriend of Professor Serizawa Shiro."

"Professor Serizawa? What's he got to do with this?" Hide asks.

"This woman is dead, can't you tell?"

"Wait you mean that the funeral was that of her?" Akira guesses.

"Indeed!"

"Then why has she brought us here?" Daisuke asks.

"Your female friend, Oda Yumiko was fucking the Professor while Higuchi Katsura was alive."

I was flabbergasted.

"Once she found out, she committed suicide."

"Wait so that means this woman is a Onryō," Kentaro surmises.

"Indeed! You all the Five Leaf Clover Team are now part of The Cursed Game. There are 8 levels and in order to go home, you all must complete 8 levels and once you've completed The Cursed Game, the curse will be lifted and all will be forgiven."

"Wait really?" Hide asks.

"Indeed."

"So all we have to do is complete this game and then we can go home? This will be easy!" Daisuke.

"Oh? We shall see."

We watch as four more tails, making totally of five appear and five blue fireballs appear and shoot at us. We scream but the flames do not hurt us.

"What?"

"What the hell was that for!?" Hide demands.

"You all have the wordCursemarked on you so everyone will know who you are. Search your body." Hide had the word on his forehead, Akira had the word on his neck, Daisuke had the word on his back, Kentaro had the word on his right hand and I had the word between my breasts. I had to hide because they would try to sneak a peek.

"I guess we're targets now?" Kentaro guesses.

"Indeed. But do not despair, that comes later. You'll be giving a fighting chance. You'll be equipped as samurai and your stats 100."

We were flabbergasted as clothing were transformed into samurai armor. Hide had black, Akira had red, Daisuke had purple, Kentaro had blue and I had pink and on our backs were the five-leaf clover.

"You four will be given a Masamune katana, as for you slut, you will be given a Muramasa katana. Go to your backpack so you can see everything."

A menu appears and we go to our backpacks and see eight slots to put items in and then I go to my stats menu.

Name: Yumiko Oda 

Age: 23

Health: 100/100

Strength: 30/100

Speed: 30/100

Agility: 30/100

Currency: 0

"Hey, you said our stats would be at 100 but yet my strength, speed and agility are at 30!"

"Mine isn't," Hide says. The rest nod in agreement.

"So why me?"

"Because you're the offender, the others may have the curse marked on them but you're the only one who will feel the full effects, your cursed has reduced your stats to 50 and the sword Muramasa reduced your states by 20. You're lucky your health wasn't reduced."

"I guess that's the reason a skull and crossbones icon appears by my name."

"Indeed. Now let's begin the tutorial."

We are suddenly teleported to a training area were Samurai NPCs were training. Katsura wasn't there. "You are training to become full-fledged samurai under the Tokugawa Shogunate to stop the threat of the Oni Daimyo."

"Oni Daimyo?" Hide questions.

"Indeed. Now start."

We look around and then I see a bow called Yumi, I consider acting that to my backpack. I take up and begin using it. I take aim and a pink crosshair appears and I fire at the bullseye. I miss and try again but miss again and again. I sigh; this would be more difficult than I thought.

Next was the spear called the Yari, the Wakizashi is a shorter sword and I watch as Kentaro picks it up and swings gracefully. I pick to add to my backpack but I couldn't added it. What?

"Thecurseforbids you from adding certain items to your backpack."

I am angry that I have to drop it.

Next was a dagger called Tanto. I pick it and I am able to add it to my backpack. Next was Kanabo. I try to pick it up but it's too heavy. I try to pick up a lighter one but I have the same issue. Next weapon was the Naginata. I once again try to pick it up but it's no good.

"The curse forbids you from carrying the Woman's Spear."

"Oh come on! I am a woman!"

"Indeed but you are a whore and the women who used the Naginata weren't."

I ball my hand into a fist but retrain myself. The final weapon was the Tanegashima. "Ah shit, a rifle, something we can handle!" Hide cheers. I sigh; I wasn't even going to try.

We go through the obstacle course; it wasn't difficult for us because we done similar things growing up. We train on horseback and use Yumi on boars but we were terrible. We had plenty of times to get better, after all we weren't going home until we completed 8 levels. We reach atoriigate and once it's open, we see many Kitsune that shapeshift into samurai with a wooded sword. "These are your practice enemies, defeat as many of them as you can."

They charge at us; the boys fire their rifle which take out four fox samurai and I pull out Muramasa which was now a wooden version and fight. The boys join a few seconds later. I pull back a few minutes later and switch to bow, I had a limit of 25 arrows but I could pick them up if not broken. I fire the first three which take out a samurai. One comes after me so I quickly fire another one before switching back to wooden sword. My sword is knocked out my hand and I was knocked down and was about to be defeated but Kentaro comes to my rescue.

"Protect Oda-sama!" Hide orders.

We fought as many we could but thenLow Healthappears and immediately the fighting stops.Tutorial Completed.The samurai bow, shapeshift back to Kitsune and leave. A few minutes later our health was restored.

"Man those Kitsune could fight," Hide observes.

"Indeed, that was just an indication of what's to come for you all."

"A thought just occurred to me, we can't go home until all 8 levels are completed, right?" Kentaro questions.

"Indeed."

"And our health almost reached its end, so what happens if we fail to complete the level?"

"That's depends, if you look at you options menu you will be given a choice to retreat from the level but it will remain unfinished."

"Ok. So what if our goes down to 0, I mean the pain was real during the training."

"Come on, Kentaro, this is just a game, if we go down we're just start over again like any normal game," Hide explains annoyed.

"Yes but we're inside The Cursed Game brought by an Onryō who clearly has it out for us well our leader Yumiko, I'm looking at no extra lives and based on what I know about the Onryō, mercy isn't in their vocabulary." He turns to the Kitsune. "So what will happen?"

"Indeed it's as you surmised, once you reach 0, you will die for real, no repeats, no nothing. You are dead."

We were flabbergasted.

"So, so, so what you're saying is that we could have died in the tutorial level and that would have been the end of us?"

"Indeed, how embarrassing," the Kitsune chuckles.

The guys turn to me with angry looks on their faces. "You! You bitch! We're fucked because you couldn't keep it in your pants!" Hide screams. "You just had to go after another woman's man!"

"I'm sorry! You guys remember the tardies; I was almost kicked out so I seduced Professor Serizawa. It was only supposed to be a one-time thing."

"Well clearly it wasn't!" Akira screams. "And now we're here!"

"Wait, can't we just tell the Onryō we had nothing to with this?" Daisuke suggests.

"Yes, her problem is with Oda-sama so we could just leave her."

"Are you guys kidding me!?" I scream.

"I'm afraid that won't work," Kentaro says calmly.

"What?! Why not!" Hide demands.

"You heard of the term 'guilty by association,' right?" They other boys just stood there stunned. "Yes and besides Onryō have been known to attack indiscriminately."

"There must be somewhere we can go, someplace we can be safe."

"The onlySafe Zoneyou have is here, Edo-Kitsune Village, we're aiding the Tokugawa Shogunate."

"But Katsura was here!" I say.

"Indeed she was but we're neutral so all she can watch you. As you recall we did mark you withcurseand nearly killed you."

"How is that neutral?!"

"Are you dead?" We were silent. "Exactly, so consider this your home since you are Tokugawa samurai now."

"We could just stay here forever," Hide suggests.

"You really want to do that and not go home?" Kentaro asks.

"Thecursemarked on us will bring out every enemy, they're be just waiting for us," Akira says.

"Well they won't be able to harm us is we stay here," Hide says.

"Neutrality only goes so far."

"Great, just great!"

"And we have our leader to thank for that," Akira says sarcastically.

"Oda, you're done!" Hide says

"Excuse me?"

"You're out of the Five Leaf Clover Team!"

I was flabbergasted and look at all of them, the resolve in their faces. "You, you can't do this me, I started Five Leaf Clover. Do you have any idea how much I sacrificed!?

"Yeah your dignity and us!"

"I am the leader!"

"Only if people are willing to follow and I will not follow you any longer."

"If you won't leave we'll leave!" Daisuke says. "Either way I won't follow you anymore.

Akira follows him and then I look at Kentaro. He was seeing if I had any regret in my eyes. None of this is my fault! Katsura is just being a bitch! It's not fault she couldn't keep her man happy. He sighs and leaves. So that was it, huh? Fuck them!
