Be warned, this is my first crossover type story. The crossover is between Kimi Ni Todoke and Corpse Party. If a significantly darker setting filled with despair and casualties isn't to your forte, I'd suggest discontinuing at this point and finding another story. If you're curious about seeing what may happen in this forsaken evil parallel dimension, stick around, and witness what happens when characters, some of the purest of morals...are pushed past the breaking point.

Graduation was nearing. Just a few more months left. All those years we had spent together, they seemed so short and flew too fast. Ayane-chan, Chizu-chan, Sanada-kun, Miura-kun, Kurumi-chan, and...Kazehaya-kun...our paths had been parallel for these bright past few years. I thought they'd last forever back then, but now as the end draws near...

A sharp pain was felt in my chest.

I hoped our paths would stay intertwined forever, but would they soon be separating? I want to stay with them forever, and didn't want to separate. Universities in far off cities, Sapporo, Tokyo...some staying here, some studying abroad, I don't want to separate!

"Kuronuma," a warm voice came from behind me, "you're tearing up again."

I turned around quickly. "Kazehaya..kun.." He was right, tears were starting to form and stream down my cheek.

He wiped the tears from my cheeks. "Thinking about the end of school again?"

"Y-Yeah..."

"Kuronuma, it'll be alright. I'll always be with you..." he pulled me into a tight hug. "..and I'm never leaving."

Returning the embrace, I decided to elaborate. "I know..and I will always be with you too, Kazehaya-kun..but, everyone else... Chizu-chan, Ayane-chan...it's possible I'd never see them again-"

"That's wrong! They are your friends, Kuronuma, they'd never abandon you like that. You're too valuable to them- to us to abandon!" He wiped away more tears and looked me in the eyes with a warm smile, "It'll be okay, Sawako, it's only the tail end of winter, spring is literally in a few days. We still have a good amount of time together, and the times won't end with graduation."

Kazehaya-kun, always there with me in both good times and bad. This is why I loved him. It is selfish of me to think this, but... Kazehaya-kun, above everyone else, I didn't want to lose him ever.

"Kazehaya-kun, if you don't mind could you meet with me and everyone else after school tomorrow in the class room?"

"Um, sure. Something up?"

"Well, I just want to do this small ritual I found. It probably won't do anything, but I'd like to conduct it anyway. It's not scary at all, no herbs or potions, just paper. I not impose on you all too much."

"Kuronuma, it's fine, I don't mind at all. I'll get everyone else to go too."

"Yokatta! It's a charm I found to be friends forever."

"Interesting. Yeah. I'll be there!"

"Mm! See you tomorrow, Kazehaya-kun!"

We shared one last hug and split paths. Til tomorrow, Kazehaya-kun.

I looked back on the instructions on my phone after Kazehaya was gone.

A paper charm cut out in the shape of a simply cut stick figure was pulled from my bag. The winds increased strength slightly.

Ayane-chan would sure be impressed at my ghost story/ritual skills for sure!
