Sarah and Nayo were best friends, both studying at the University of California. They had a love for exploring new places, trying new things and were always seeking adventure. They had heard of the legend of the Kuchisake-Onna, a demon from Japanese folklore who was known to roam the streets with a smile that could send chills down one's spine. Despite the frightening stories, Sarah and Nayo were determined to write a book about this mysterious figure and dispel the fear surrounding her.

Their journey took them to Japan where they conducted extensive research and talked to those who claimed to have encountered the Kuchisake-Onna. They learned that the demon was said to be a woman who was mutilated by her husband, leaving her with a permanent smile. She roamed the streets asking passerby's whether they thought she was beautiful, and if they answered no, she would slit their throats with a pair of scissors.

Sarah and Nayo were skeptical of these stories, but they felt a thrill of excitement as they delved deeper into the mystery. They returned to the United States, eager to share their findings and dispel the fear surrounding the Kuchisake-Onna.

As they began to write their book, strange things started to happen. They heard whispers in the night, footsteps following them when they were alone, and a feeling of being watched. Sarah brushed it off as nerves, but Nayo was certain that the Kuchisake-Onna was following them.

One night, as they were working late in the library, Sarah suddenly heard a voice whisper in her ear, "Am I beautiful?" She turned around to see the figure of the Kuchisake-Onna standing before her, with a smile that reached from ear to ear. Sarah screamed and the figure disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

Sarah was shaken and called Nayo who rushed to the library to be with her friend. They were both terrified, but determined to continue their research. They continued to work on their book, but the strange events continued to occur.

One night, as they were walking home from the library, they were confronted by the Kuchisake-Onna. This time, there was no mistaking that it was the demon, her smile wider than ever, and her eyes cold and dead. Sarah and Nayo were frozen with fear as the Kuchisake-Onna asked, "Am I beautiful?" They both answered yes, and the demon disappeared into the night.

Despite their close call, Sarah and Nayo were more determined than ever to find out the truth behind the Kuchisake-Onna. They continued their research, but their health began to deteriorate. They were plagued by nightmares and Sarah was constantly hearing whispers in her ear.

Finally, after months of research, they discovered the truth behind the Kuchisake-Onna. She was not a demon, but a woman who had been wronged by her husband. The woman had been mutilated, left to roam the streets, and her ghost was seeking revenge. She was asking passerby's whether they thought she was beautiful, hoping that someone would acknowledge her pain and help her find peace.

Sarah and Nayo tried to spread the truth about the Kuchisake-Onna, but no one would listen. The fear surrounding the demon was too great and people were too afraid to listen. Sarah and Nayo's health continued to deteriorate, and they eventually succumbed to their illnesses.

Their book was never published, and the legend of the Kuchisake-Onna lived on. People continued to fear her, never realizing

that she was a woman who had suffered a great injustice. Sarah and Nayo's research had uncovered the truth behind the legend, but it was too late for them to share their findings.

Years later, a group of students stumbled upon their notes and began to piece together the story of the Kuchisake-Onna. They were shocked to learn that the demon they had feared for so long was not a demon at all, but a woman seeking justice. The students were determined to share the truth with the world, and they began to research and write a book about the Kuchisake-Onna.

Their research was extensive, and they spoke to those who had encountered the Kuchisake-Onna. They discovered that the woman had been wronged by her husband, and her ghost was seeking revenge. She was asking passerby's whether they thought she was beautiful, hoping that someone would acknowledge her pain and help her find peace.

The students' book was published, and it dispelled the fear surrounding the Kuchisake-Onna. People finally understood the truth behind the legend, and they began to see the woman behind the demon. The legend of the Kuchisake-Onna continued to be told, but now it was told with a new perspective. The students had succeeded in sharing Sarah and Nayo's findings, and they had finally given the woman behind the legend the justice she deserved.
