Chapter 1
Yuki`s POV
"Huh? Where am I?" I asked myself as I woke up in an unfamiliar classroom. This doesn't look like Heavenly Host, I thought while starting to look around. I saw usual classroom supplies but nothing out of the ordinary. Getting up, I walked towards the teachers desk. There was a register on the desk for class 2-9 and, as I scanned through the names on the list, four names seemed to stand out."Ayumi Shinozaki...Naomi Nakashima...Satoshi Mochida and Yoshiki Kishinuma...where have I seen these names before?" I walked towards the classroom door and headed to what she supposed to be the main entrance.
"Excuse me but do you know where Ayumi Shinozaki lives?"Yuki asked a man. The man shook his head. During their time at heavenly host, Yoshiki and Ayumi had appeased the four ghosts which held the cursed school together and for that, Yuki and the other three ghosts were extremely grateful. She needed help and was convinced that they would help. She had been asking random people if they knew them for nearly an hour so she was quite relieved when a man said to her "Excuse me but I heard you were looking for Ayumi."
"Yeah Ayumi Shinozaki."Yuki replied
"Well I'm Ayato Shinozaki, Ayumi's my daughter."Ayato said
"I'm Yuki Kanno I'm a...friend."Yuki said worrying that he might recognise her name
"Well follow me then."Ayato said as they began walking
Satoshi`s POV
I was at home on the internet, looking up random you tubers that I could think of. I didn't usually watch these people but I had nothing better to do, especially not when all I could think of was Heavenly Host and the people who died there, the people who were are friends.
Yoshiki`s POV
Lying down on my bed alone all day. I usually do that only today was different, today, no-one remembered our friends whose lives were taken by that god damned school. I ended up being called into work which was actually okay as I was basically driving myself insane by just sitting here. I set off and began doing what my boss had told me to after all, it distracted me from Heavenly Host so it was better than nothing.
Naomi`s PO
I went out to the park as my mum was driving me insane. No-one remembers Seiko or Mayu or anyone else who died in that bloody school. I sat down on a bench, pulling out my phone so I could ring someone. I rung Ayumi and she picked up almost immediately.
Ayumi`s POV
I was sat daydreaming when my phone rung, snapping me out of my thoughts. I picked it up quickly checking who it was before answering it."Hi Nakashima."
"Hi. They did exist didn't they?"Naomi asked "Everyone thinks were insane."
"They did exist, it was that school though, almost everyone who died there was erased from existence."I said
"What do you mean by almost everyone?"Naomi asked
"Well, Naho and Kibiki, people still remember them. I`m just not sure why."I replied before hearing my dad shouting me "Sorry I have to go see what my dad wants, I`ll call you back."
"Okay."Naomi said as I hung up and went downstairs. The person who stood in the doorway was someone I had thought she would never see again, "Yuki!"I gasped, recognising her.
"Hi. I really need either yours or Kishinuma`s help only I don't think he can stand me."Yuki laughed
"What do you need help with?"I asked really wanting to ask how she was here but not wanting to have to explain to my parents what I was on about.
"Well, Sachiko is up at her old house and if we don't hurry up and make her understand how to deal with her mum`s death then she might result to what she did in Heavenly Host."Yuki replied
"Well where is her old house?"I asked
"...Well...it`s the old Shinozaki estate."Yuki answered
"Okay...if you know where it is we`ll go."I said going to tell my parents where I was going. After I told them that I was going to the old Shinozaki estate, my dad went practically mental saying about how I wasn't allowed to go up there as it was too dangerous only when I asked him why, he just went quiet "You are not going up there without proper supervision."He said. It was only then when I realised Hinoe stood in the doorway behind me "I`ll go with them."She said. My dad looked at her, giving her an icy look "And how am I supposed to know you won`t try anything stupid?"He asked. This surprised me as I had never heard him talk like that and because he knew that Hinoe knew about things like black magic and the occult which is what I had presumed he was talking about. He was being completely unreasonable as he said "I`m sorry but even if every one of your friends were there needing help, you still couldn't go."
I was so frustrated that I ran out of the room, leaving the house with Yuki. Hinoe ended up following us, asking why we actually needed to go up there only It was hard to explain as even I didn't know the full story yet. "I`m sorry but he really didn't need to be like that."I said to Hinoe
"I know but he was probably just worried. I`ve heard that house had extremely dark energy surrounding it."Hinoe said. My phone buzzed and I saw it was a text from my dad demanding to know where I was going so I just said I was going to a friend`s house which was technically true as I had planned on stopping by at Yoshiki`s to see if he was willing to help.
When we got to Yoshiki`s, I knocked on the door only to find that he wasn't in. He must be at work, Ithought. Oh well, we set off for the train station as Hinoe had agreed to come with us, even if she didn't have a clue why.
