Corpse Party
Memory Loss And Blood Spill
Chapter 3 – The Sleepover
I was standing in front of Seiko´s full size mirror in her room, trying to find out what to wear for Mayu´s sleepover. In me and the girl's night out, we had bought so many outfits both for everyone, that it was kind of hard for us to carry it all home. Damn Seiko. Her and her stupid credit card.
I smiled a little as I stood before the mirror and stared at my outfit and myself. I had finally chosen one. It was a white t-shirt and a black jacket, black jeans and shoes, accompanied by a black and white checkered scarf, and a black beanie. It looked a lot like the outfit I had arrived here in, but it was new, and not full of holes.
I had tried to convince Naomi and Seiko that I could buy it myself but they wouldn´t take no for an answer. So when they had jogged out of the small shop with the shopping bags in hand, and victorious expressions, I couldn´t help but crack a smile at them, and receive the outfit with a thank-you. I couldn´t really reject it when it was a gift right?
When I was done staring at myself I began making sure I had everything ready for Mayu´s sleepover.
"Ok toothbrush, check. Sleeping back, check. Hairbrush, check" I mumbled as I went through the small bag I had borrowed from the Shinohara family.
When I was sure everything was there, I nodded a little and swung the bag over my shoulder, heading outside where Seiko was already waiting for me by her dad´s car, who was supposed to bring us to Mayu´s place.
As we drove along the streets of the city, the streetlights shimmered above our car, and the moon shined in the distance. It was a clear night out, must have been like, a 100 degrees or something. It was the hottest weather in a long time, or at least of what I knew from Seiko and my other friends.
The heat and the flickering lights from the city had somehow managed to make me sleepy, and I could soon feel my eyelids closing. I didn´t really want to sleep though, but my eyes was fighting a losing battle against sleep. Soon I could no longer resist and closed my eyes. Right before I dozed of completely though, I could feel a slender and gentle hand snake its way into mine, gently taking hold of it.
I smiled a little and dozed off completely, having a feeling about who it was that had taken my hand.
As we arrived at Mayu´s house, Seiko shook me awake. It didn´t feel like I had slept at all, for a moment maybe. And the hand that had taken hold of mine was no longer to be felt. I looked down at my own hand and sighed with a slight smile, sitting there in my own thoughts
. As I sat there almost numb from my thoughts, Seiko playfully flicked my forehead "Aow!" I exclaimed as I puffed out my cheeks in a pout. She simply smirked and gestured for me to follow her inside, before quickly yanking me out of the car and waving to her dad, as we walked up to the front door.
We rang the doorbell and not two seconds later, Mayu opened up for us with her classic bright and cheerful smile. "Great to see you guys!" She exclaimed happily as she lunched forward and hugged me and Seiko tightly, Seiko immediately returning the hug, but I blushed a little before hesitantly hugging her back "Good to see you too Suzume!" I said with an embarrassed smirk as she led us inside.
As we stepped inside Mayu´s room, all the others was sitting inside, excluding Yuka for some reason. I still don´t know how Mochida had convinced her to stay home. Somehow, he did though. But even so I can´t really imagine Yuka ever wanting to let him out of her sight for two seconds.
Everyone was sitting on either mats or the floor in one big circle. In the middle of the circle was some bottles of alcohol, which was probably Yoshiki´s and some soda cans to mix with. I hadn´t really heard anyone had brought alcohol to this party, and I was surprised Mayu had allowed it, but as soon as it was fine by her it was fine by me.
I was a little scared though, as this was, as far as I knew, the first time I had ever drank. Yoshiki seemed like the type of guy who would be fine with a couple of shots, but I wasn´t sure of the others though. Even though I was sure, Sagutaro would easily keep his cool no matter how drunk Yoshiki managed to get him.
I smirked a little and waved at the others "Hey guys!" I greeted and everyone greeted back, before Naomi patted the empty space beside her "Come on over Seiko. Yosuhei, your space is between Yoshiki and Satoshi over there!" Naomi pointed out and I nodded at her "Affirmative!" I exclaimed with a smirk as I dumped myself down between the two guys, who smiled at me as if saying "Welcome to the club!"
About half an hour later we were all laughing, having a good time as the sleepover party went by. Everyone had gotten a few shots to calm their nerves, even though Yoshiki almost had to force me to drink. I had been hesitant at first but after one or two shots, I felt great. I was no longer as nervous as before, and my outfit no longer felt as uncomfortable as it had before.
I didn´t really know how much I could take though, so when Yoshiki, who had already downed several shots, tried to push a third shot on me, I politely declined. Didn´t want to puke in front of the girls right?
As the night went on we talked on and on about things about our lives. Or my friends did the most of the talking, since I didn´t know much of my past. We were in the middle of a really funny story from Satoshi
"And when I turned to see what the commotion was about, Yoshiki stood there with misu soup all over his school uniform!"
Everyone laughed loudly except for Yoshiki, who, for the first time I had ever seen, blushed and tried to hide his face. "Did you really have to tell them about that?" He mumbled as he pouted and glared over at his best friend, who simply returned it with a smirk.
Ayumi smirked over at Yoshiki "Hehe. That´s the first time I ever heard of Kishinuma-kun ending in an embarrassing situation like that" She whistled through her teeth as she stared at Yoshiki with a teasing smirk, ending in Yoshiki wanting to jump out of the window from embarrassment. When he calmed down the party went on, and Seiko had one of her famous light bulb ideas.
"Hey guys! How about we play truth or dare?" She asked smiling, and I could immediately see Ayumi´s and Naomi´s faces light up in teasing and happy smirks.
I shrugged a little and looked around at the crowd "I´m fine with it. As long as I don´t need to do anything perverted" I said as I looked over at Yoshiki and Satoshi, Satoshi looking like he wanted to hide under the bed, while Yoshiki just shrugged and nodded "I´m in too" He exclaimed as everyone gathered closer to the middle of the circle.
"I´ll start!" Seiko yelled happily as she looked around the crowd with a, may I say scary smirk. Her gaze stopped at Ayumi "Ayumi, truth or dare?" She said as she smirked challengingly.
Ayumi smirked back and crossed her arms confidently "Dare!" I looked at her with a slight impression "That´s pretty early in the game isn't it?" Mayu hesitantly stated as she looked over at Ayumi with a concerned expression. Ayumi simply smirked before looking back at Seiko "Out with it girl!" She yelled excitedly as all of us waited for what was going to happen next.
Seiko´s grin became wider and wider as she finally came up with an idea "Go over and kiss Kishinuma-kun on the lips" She exclaimed, Ayumi´s face turned beef red as soon as Seiko finished her sentence.
Ayumi took a glance over at Yoshiki, who was blushing just as much as Ayumi was. 'Hmm… I know he has a thing for her… Maybe he wants her to kiss him?' I asked myself as Ayumi slowly crawled over and brought her face closer to Yoshiki´s.
They both closed their eyes and kissed passionately, only for a moment however, before the embarrassment became too much for Ayumi and she pulled away, practically hiding behind Seiko and Naomi from embarrassment. Yoshiki seemed somewhat disappointed though. Everyone laughed and even Yoshiki and Ayumi cracked a smile before the turn went on to the next player.
"So… Oh got it. Satoshi, truth or dare?" Ayumi smirked as she asked him and he sighed a little as he rubbed the back of his head with a weak smile. "Truth. Definitely not risking dare yet" He said as he chuckled a bit.
Ayumi nodded affirmatively before giving him his question "Would you rather sleep with Naomi or Seiko, and why?" He blushed a bit and chuckled before answering "W-Well I think I would go with Naomi since I have known her for longer" This sentence was returned with a shy smile and a blush from Naomi.
And so it went for a bit before it finally became my turn. Yoshiki looked over at me with an evil smirk "Yosuhei, truth or dare?" I sighed a little and finally pulled the pin on the grenade "Dare…" I said as I sighed, waiting for whatever embarrassing thing I had to do. I already regretted my decision as I slowly saw Yoshiki´s smirk widen.
"You and Seiko have to go in another room, and play 10 minutes in heaven." I think my heart skipped a beat. I looked over at Seiko who just smiled at me and grinned. She at least seemed up to the challenge but the nervousness I had felt before the party had come back full force. Me and Seiko stood up and I took her hand, as we exited and headed down the hall to find an empty room.
As we arrived at a small bedroom at the end of the hall, we sat down on the bed. I took hold of both Seiko´s hands and she smiled up at me, a faint blush spreading on her cheeks. I looked away shyly and smiled slightly, before looking back at her "Yeah this isn´t awkward at all right?" I mumbled as she giggled a little.
"Yeah I know. I have never…Done this before" She admitted as she looked at me with a shy smile I nodded a little and shifted closer to her, almost feeling her body heat radiate off of her.
I stared at her for a couple of seconds before I made the first move and slowly leant in to softly kiss her on the lips. She closed her eyes and closed in on me. I smiled slightly as I felt my breath stagger and my heartbeat increase, before I could finally feel something soft and sweet towards my lips.
At first it was just a grace, but soon our lips found each other and we shared a passionate kiss. She gently caressed my cheek and I could feel them heat up, as I wrapped my arms around her waist. We lied down on the bed and forgot everything about time, we just lied there, kissed, loved each others presence. I smiled every time she leaned in for another kiss, and I happily obliged to everything she did.
She slowly made her way on top of me and grabbed my shirt, almost pulling me into her as our kisses got more and more intense and passionate. She pinned me down and aggressively attacked me with kiss after kiss, and I immediately kissed her back. I forgot everything about time and I could soon hear footsteps out in the hallway.
"I wonder where they are? They should have been back by now" I heard Naomi´s worried voice say as the footsteps traveled the hallway. I could soon hear Yoshiki´s chuckle and teasing voice "Maybe they are taking 10 minutes in heaven a step further if you know what I mean" I could then hear a bonk and arguing "Hey! What was that for!?" I heard Yoshiki yell as they walked past the room me and Seiko was in.
Soon I could hear Ayumi´s voice "That´s for being perverted!" I smiled a little and looked up at Seiko "Always the same huh?" I mumbled and she nodded slowly before leaning in and kissing me again.
After about 10 minutes we went back to the party, everyone waiting for us in Mayu´s room "Where the hell were you guys?!" Ayumi exclaimed as we entered, still holding hands.
"Well we enjoyed it so much we forgot the time" I said happily and everyone sent suggestive looks our way, before me and Seiko sat down next to each other besides Satoshi and Yoshiki.
I squeezed her hand a little and she squeezed back, as the game continued.
Later on we were slipping up on questions for truth or dare, so we became rather bored. It was not that late though, so we decided to all go to the nearby park in the city, the same one me, Seiko and Naomi had been to some days ago. Everyone packed themselves up and we soon went in one big group towards the park.
Soon we arrived and everyone soon scattered, having fun with whatever they were doing. Me and Seiko kept to ourselves at a park bench, Ayumi and Yoshiki went over to the playground, Mayu and Sagutaro went for a nice stroll, and Naomi and Satoshi sat up with their bags against a big oak tree and began talking.
Seiko leaned on my shoulder as we sat down, and I could feel both our rhythmic breathing as we sat there in silence. I stared up at the stars and smiled a little before looking down at Seiko "Seiko?" She hummed to answer "Mmm?" I sighed a little and wrapped my right arm around her shoulder.
"I don´t know if I want to go back home…." She looked up at me surprised "Really? But what about your family? I mean, you got to have family right?"
I nodded a little and sighed "At least I think I do.." I mumbled as I looked at her with a smile.
I leaned in and kissed her cheek and she smiled, putting her head in the crook of my neck. "But I don´t want to leave you…" I mumbled as I rubbed her arm soothingly.
She smiled widely and her eyes lit with happiness as she hugged me by my waist.
"You´re so sweet Yosuhei… I think I might have fallen for you…" She mumbled as she drew her face closer and closer to mine.
I smiled and pecked on her lips as intertwined the fingers on her left and my right hand, smiling at each other and at the stars.
"Seiko..?" I asked silently as I looked back at her. She answered with another hum "Do you want to… You know go out sometime?" I asked shyly as I blushed from ear to ear.
She nodded slowly and looked into my eyes with a smile.
"Wouldn´t miss it for the world Yosu…" She muttered as she cupped my face in her hands and kissed me deeply, the shining moonlight creating a dreamy atmosphere around us.
All of a sudden the rest of our group stood in front of us, with Satoshi and Yoshiki in front of the rest.
"You two done being all lovey dovey?" Satoshi said with a smug expression, looking at us with a big smile.
"Come on! Let´s have some fun!" Ayumi and Naomi said in sync, as they stood on each side of the boys in front, looking at us with adorable or cool smirks and smiles.
I blushed a little and looked over at Seiko, who flashed me a big smile before standing up, without letting go of my hand.
"Let´s go play!" Seiko said playfully as she tugged at my arm again and again, begging for me to come play with her. I chuckled a bit as I watched my small group of friends, who all had happy and excited expressions on their faces. I shrugged a little and sighed.
"ah what the hell. Let´s be ten again I suppose!" I said as I gave in to their pleading expressions, and puppy eyes. Everyone´s expressions, even Sagutaro's, lit up in bright smiles. I squeezed Seiko´s hand and she squeezed back, before we ran out in the park, like a group of children who had known each other all their lives.
That was exactly what it felt like anyway.
~ Back at Mayu´s place ~
We had gone to bed hours before now. But for some reason I had trouble sleeping. I had lied in my sleeping bag and thought about everything that had went down tonight. I was thinking about Seiko and me. About what exactly our relationship consisted off. When I had lied on my left side for about ten minutes, I suddenly felt another body warmth behind me, and thin arms wrap around my waist.
I widened my eyes in shock and turned around to find Seiko, with a bright blush and embarrassed smile, looking at me as she slipped into my sleeping back.
"Is it ok if I lie with you here?" She softly asked as she looked at with a small and shy smile.
I blushed deep red as I stared at her in shock, a small smile creeping onto my face slowly.
"Y-Yeah sure. Go ahead" I said softly, to make sure nobody else woke up.
She lit up in her classic high energized smile and kissed my lips deeply before burying herself in my sleeping back, cuddling up to me so we could feel each other and share body warmth's. She closed her eyes immediately, and I could soon feel her breathing change into deep, slow and rhythmic breathing.
I smiled and kissed her forehead, taking in her warmth and scent before closing my own eyes, soon falling asleep in the safety I felt by her presence.
