"I think we should look for a bathroom,"Satoshi began,"It's not very comfortable, nor is it healthy, I think, to hold stuff in this long."
Yuka, could not really stand still too long.
"Yeah, it really is not good," I acknowledged.
We have went to the girl's lavatory and sure enough it was locked, not even rattling in its rails.
There had to be something I could do. The doors!
"I'll try to find something! Just wait here! ...Or actually, don't wait here, don't stay in one place to long, I don't trust this place. I'll be back Satoshi!"
I quickly ran for the door to the next dimensional plane. I threw it open and rushed through. I wanted to satisfy Satoshi, I just want him to hug me again, to hold me close like he did.
The door slid shut behind me. A whole different world again.
The halls were really really dark in this one. There was a sound of a heavy metal object dragging against the wooden floor. A large,undead man brandishing what seemed to be a sledge hammer, appeared from the darkness. It was the teacher, Yanagihori, Sachiko's muscle man.
I had to keep it together, I had to find a solution for Satoshi. I calmly thought of some options. But as I was thinking, the large man swung his large hammer at me. I ducked out of the way just in time, and the hammer impacted the wall. I took off as fast as I could down the hallway, looking for another way out. I was alive, so I was a target. Note to self don't get caught by him. Already experienced a death here once, not by him, but I certainly did not want to experience a death of his works.
Another door! Perfect. I tried to yank it open, but this one was really resisting. The large gray man was closing fast, sledge hammer dragging against the creaky, hollow, wooden floor. He brought his hammer up for another swing.
Come on...Come on! Stupid door!
The door finally opened and I ran through, slamming it shut behind me. The door sounded off with a WHACK, as the hammer struck the wooden door. The door held strong and that world was now behind me.
Finding a suitable solution for Satoshi was now a goal of mine, but I had to fulfill my deal with Sachiko if I wanted to continue with Satoshi... It was not going to be easy.
"Hey, you're a new face," a deep voice called to me.
I turned to the direction of its origin, but the moment I turned, I saw who it came from. Standing a little distance away. Standing taller than I was, wearing his white shirt, and holding his school blazer over his shoulder, was Yuuya Kizami, the tall gruffly voiced second year. I had my scissors held firmly behind my back.
"You can put down whatever bladed weapon you have behind your back. The knife I've found is much bigger and is serrated, the fact I don't have it drawn means I have no intention of causing harm to you."
I loosened my grip, and slowly put the scissors back in my skirt pocket, still keeping my hand close by.
"I'm actually busy looking for something currently, I guess I'll see you around," I said walking away.
"Yeah, see you 'round. Do take care, unfortunate things have been happening to people who venture out alone. Hahahahahahahaha!"
Yup, he was losing it. I had to stay away from him as much as I could. I passed through another door down the hall.
Another empty corridor, there had to be a decent, usable rest area somewhere here, none of the planes were 100% identical.
"Hi! I didn't think I'd see another survivor here!" a girls voice called to me.
"Hey, I've seen her before. Hey! You again! Maroon blazer! Yes, you! Do you you know what exactly is going on, and how we can return to normal life?"
It was Yoshiki and Ayumi. The other spirit medium and the boy who likes her.
"Hi," I shyly said.
The girl gasped.
"Naho-san? Thee Naho-san?!"
"Yep, that's me..." Must be a fan of mine.
"The famous journalist and supernatural investigator?"
"Yup..."
"Wow...I'm a serious fan."
And...that's probably why you're stuck here...
"Hi, I'm Ayumi, this is my friend Yoshiki, we got stuck in this place a while back and are trying to find some means of escaping. Though, I did not think I would run into you down here!"
"I'm sorry to hear..."
"Why are you down here?"
"I was, uh looking for my Sensei, and conducting a field research on this place, however, I found him dead, and I am actually looking for a way out right now..."
I began to walk off.
"It was nice meeting a fan, but I am quite busy looking around."
"Wait, Naho-san! We are looking for our friends! Did you happen to see any of them?" Yoshiki sounded a bit provocative.
"I don't much appreciate your tone! If you really wanted to ask someone something, especially if you really really need to them to answer, you should do so, POLITELY!"
"Yoshiki! Be nicer to Naho-san! She knows a lot more than you do right now," Ayumi stepped in.
"No, there is something about her I don't trust! I ran into her before and she just ran off, like she was hiding something. Now here she is, and now her hands are bloodstained, she did something!"
I looked at my hands and sure enough, the hand that held the scissors had a moderate amount of dried blood on my palms. Not blaringly obvious, but it could be spotted.
"Where did that come from?" Yoshiki was starting to get on my case.
"Umm...well, you see, there was this girl who tried to end my life. She was no longer sane and had been lost to darkening. She had me up against the wall in this suffocating grip. I was choking to death, but luckily, my hand came into contact with a pair of scissors nearby and I had no choice but to drive these scissors through her stomach. This pushed her back and I was able to get away."
That had to be the most tall tale lie I'd ever said, but he seemed to take it.
"I still don't trust her Ayumi!"
"Yoshiki, your overreacting!"
"She's saying she killed a girl, it could have been one of our friends for all we know!"
"It couldn't have been, neither of our friends would do such a thing! And besides, it was self defense!"
"You seriously trust her? We barely know her!"
"You don't know her, I know her, this girl is not one to lie... Right, Naho-san?"
"Yeah..."
(Even though a really big lie of mine is responsible for all you being here in the first place...)
"Before I go, I must say a few things to you. Do be careful wandering these halls and don't stick too close with others, because you never know when one could lose their mind, or fall to the darkening... And you shouldn't trust to many people, even me because down here...we all have a little hidden agenda."
Before any of them could respond, I disappeared into the door to another closed space.
I had to make progress, and I had a deal to uphold. I also had an open bathroom to find.
A soft voice came from the dark.
"Is someone there? I can hear your steps."
From the nearby classroom, came a girl with a Kisaragi High School uniform. She was alone. I held the scissors in my palms but still inside the pocket.
Pony tail on the right side of the head, and shorter than that guy Sakutaro Morishige. This was Mayu.
She was actually accompanied by a young adult, a teacher it seemed.
I placed the scissors on a nearby stool, and stood there, thinking about getting back with Satoshi... It had been quite a while since I left him. I hope he's still okay. I had to return soon, I just wanted to be with him now. Just a few things to finish here beforehand...
So, I've watched the anime, read the manga, watched gameplay from beginning to end of Corpse Party, and looked information about our main character through the wikia... Got to say, I adore Naho, her mysterious ways and hidden agendas, combined with her seemingly always calm composure and intelligence make her such an interesting character, and it's very entertaining to write off of her characteristics. The ship between, Satoshi and Naho...well, Satoshi is a pretty well rounded dude, and Naho is pretty cute, mixing the two of them, since there isn't any other ship with Naho, other than with her friend, I thought would be great! I think they'd look great together. Anyways, yeah there are quite a bit of out of character moments here, but hey, it's fanfiction, why not add a little color to a barely touched on character? Anyways, let me know what you guys think. I love and appreciate reviews and comments. PLZ REVIEW, let me know how I'm doing so far, maybe throw in a few minor plot details and suggestions, I may consider including things to the plot I've thought of. (The details and the intricate, elaborate stuff I make up as I go...) Hope you are enjoying my story! Things are going to get interesting from here!
