Corpse Party: The next generation

CHAPTER THREE

Multiple OC pairings

Author Note: Hi everyone! Another chapter is ready! Sorry for the slight delay! But here it is! Again, I noticed I made some minor errors in my previous chapter. Dang it w! I will try to be more careful from now on!

Also I would like to mention that I am a Beta Reader. The only one for Corpse Party to be precisely. If you want to know what that means, check out my Beta Profile. You can find it in the menu section 'Betas' or on my profile. Being a Beta Reader basically means that I check your work, take out the grammar mistakes and stuff and give advice on how to improve your story. So, if you're interested, don't hesitate to PM me and I will provide you with my e-mail address so you can send me your Corpse Party story.

There's more. I remember saying in the beginning this story takes place 10 years in the future. I realized I made a mistake. If that's the case, that means that Ayumi and Kishinuma have to be 27. Since their daughter Haruna is already 17 years old, that means they had to give birth to her when they were 10… o_0. So let me make a change:

This story takes place 22 years in the future.

Anyway, let's continue this story, shall we? ^_^ Enjoy! xoxo Dewi-Michelle

Normal P.O.V.

-Flashback-

Haruna walked down the stairs. She already had smelled the delicious scent of the dish her mother was cooking. She walked towards the kitchen, where a 39-year-old woman was seen standing behind the stoves. Her dark-blue, mid-back hair was tied in a knot to keep her hair out of her face during cooking, but a few strands had escaped and hung down, framing her beautiful face. Her eyes, containing a similar color, were focused on the pan in front of her. She wore a simple crème shirt and a pair of black trousers. A green apron was tied around her slim frame and she wore pink house slippers. The woman, Kishinuma Ayumi, formerly known as Shinozaki Ayumi, looked up with a smile when she heard her daughter enter the kitchen.

''Just in time, Haruna. Dinner is almost ready.'' Her mother smiled.

Haruna smiled back at her mother. She had the same hair-length and hair-color as her mother and was just as petite and slim as her.

''Is dad not home yet?'' Haruna asked.

Exactly at that moment, the sound of the front door opening was heard.

''Ooii! Tadaima!'' The voice of Kishinuma Yoshiki sounded through the house.

Haruna smiled and ran towards the corridor where she came face to face with a forty-year old, slightly-tanned man in a suit, putting down his black briefcase and loosening his red tie. His light-blond bleached hair was messy due to the breeze outside and his clear grey eyes looked loving when he spotted his daughter.

''Okairi, Oto-san.'' Haruna greeted her father.

Yoshiki patted her head and smiled. Then, he sniffed.

''It smells amazing in here.'' He smiled.

Haruna smiled anime-style, her eyes closed and her head tilting a bit to the side.

''Oka-san just finished cooking dinner.'' She replied.

Yoshiki changed his office shoes for his grey house slippers.

''We better head towards the dining table then.'' He smiled.

Haruna followed her father towards the kitchen, where she saw him sneaking up his wife from behind, snaking his arms around her waist and placing a kiss on her cheek. Ayumi laughed.

''Welcome back, honey.''

Yoshiki let go off her and Ayumi putted on some over gloves and carried the final pan towards the dining table. The three sat down and clasped their hands together with their chopsticks in-between them.

''Itadakimasu.'' They said in unison.

Then, dinner began.

''Rice curry.'' Yoshiki smiled.

Ayumi smiled.

''One of your favorites, right?'' She replied.

Yoshiki smiled.

''Yes, it is!''

Haruna giggled. She took a bite from her dish.

''So, how was school today?'' Ayumi asked her daughter.

Haruna swallowed her bite and smiled.

''It was fine. We got our history tests back. I scored an A on it.'' She replied.

''That's my girl.'' Yoshiki smiled.

Haruna blushed and looked shy at her plate.

''Anything else that occurred?'' Ayumi asked.

Haruna shook her head.

''Nothing out of the ordinary. I spend lunchtime with Yuuki-chan and we had P.E.'' She spoke up.

Yoshiki glanced at Ayumi out of his eye corner with a smile when the word P.E. was mentioned.

''You know, back in the day when me and your mother were still in Kisaragi Academy, we talked for the first time during a P.E. class.'' He explained to his daughter, not taking his eyes off Ayumi.

Ayumi smiled and giggled. A sly smile formed on her lips.

''You know why? I used to be class president back then. Your baka of a father was smoking in the bathroom and almost hit a teacher, since he wanted to drop out of school.''

Yoshiki grinned back.

''But you stopped me.''

Ayumi smiled.

''I'm glad I did. Who else knew what would have happened.''

''Let's not think about that.'' Yoshiki laughed.

Haruna kept silent the entire time and listened to her parents' story with interest. She loved it when they talked about when they were around her age.

''That was right before…'' Ayumi started, but never finished her sentence.

Yoshiki's smile disappeared a little too. Haruna frowned.

''Right before what?'' Haruna asked.

Ayumi shook her head and faked a smile.

''Nothing for you to worry about. Let's just say things went wrong a little.''

''A little?'' Yoshiki asked his wife, who gave him an angry look in return.

She then turned her gaze back on her daughter.

''Sweetie, promise me one thing. Be wary of charms. They might cause more harm than good.'' She spoke in a certain kind of manner that it made a shiver go up Haruna's spine.

She rarely heard her mother talk in a serious tone like this.

''I promise.'' Haruna replied.

Ayumi smiled. She then turned towards her husband.

''So, tell me about your day, honey.''

Haruna quickly forgot about the seriousness and listened to her dad's office stories with a smile. Dinner went on peacefully and that evening, she spend together with her parents in the living room. She loved her parents so much. She wouldn't trade them for the world. She couldn't think about the fact if anything would happen to them or to her, which would worry them to no extend. She smiled. She wouldn't be reckless. She would always make her parents proud and happy. Because she loved them.

-End of flashback-

A tear trailed down Haruna's cheek and she suddenly came back to her senses. She didn't know she got that occupied in her thoughts. Looking around her, she slowly remembered again that she was in an abandoned school, together with Yuuki and Ryuu. She sighed. That flashback was from yesterday evening. She would have never thought this would happen the next day. If only she had listened to her parents and never participated in the charm, she could be home by now… She felt incredibly home-sick. Ryuu finally seemed to notice for the first time something was up, when Haruna had stopped in the middle of the hallway, her eyes cloudy like she was deep in thoughts, then a tear escaping.

''Are you okay?'' He asked.

Haruna looked at him.

''I-I'm fine, sorry. Just some thoughts.'' She replied with a smile.

''What about?''

Haruna sighed.

''…Home.''

Ryuu sighed.

''I wanna go home too.''

He then sighed and managed to smile a tiny smile.

''The sooner we find an exit, the sooner we can get home.''

Haruna smiled.

''That's right.''

She continued walking besides Ryuu, silence filling the halls. Ryuu had put his hands in the pockets of the trousers of his school uniform and kept on a serious, cold face, the tsundere radiating off him. Haruna was shy and just didn't know what to talk about. So the two kept silent. That, until they suddenly heard a loud boom. Haruna yelped and without realizing it, she had wrapped her arms around Ryuu's left arm, since she had walked on the left side of him, closing her eyes in fear. Ryuu started looking around, on guard.

''What the fuck was that?'' He asked.

He then sighed in relief. It just seemed a painting had fallen onto the ground.

''It's nothing.'' Ryuu smiled.

He then seemed to notice the shy girl on his arm. A tiny blush tinged his cheeks.

''K-Kishinuma? Are you okay?'' He asked awkwardly.

Haruna turned red and immediately let go off Ryuu.

''G-Gomene.'' She stuttered.

Ryuu closed his eyes, once again back to his cold self.

''It's ok.'' He just spoke.

He then proceeded to walk. Haruna still felt scared, so she decided to grab the sleeve of Ryuu's school blazer and held it tight. It was really cute. Ryuu thought so too. He didn't say anything about it, instead pretending he didn't notice. They continued wandering the hallways, going up and down on staircases, checking multiple rooms and dodging all the corpses along the way. So far, nothing bad had happened to them. Finally, they entered a room which seemed to be the main entrance of the school. There were shoe-lockers and there were school slippers scattered all around the floor. In front of them was a large door.

''That must be it!'' Haruna smiled. ''That must be the main entrance!''

Ryuu walked over towards the doors.

''Finally, we can leave this place. Let's check if it's open and then head back towards the classroom we came from.''

Ryuu pulled the doors and then, frowned.

''What the fuck?''

He pulled again and again, but nothing seemed to happen. That's when he realized something. The door didn't seem real. It seemed just painted on the wall. The handles of the door were just attached to the wall.

''What is this for sick joke?'' Ryuu roared angry.

Haruna looked sad.

''It's… a fake?'' She asked.

Ryuu sighed with a groan.

''Guess so. Guess we need to find a different exit.''

Haruna looked down.

''How other than the main entrance can we exit the school?'' She asked.

''I don't know. But there has to be a way. I mean, what kind of building doesn't have an exit?'' Ryuu replied.

Haruna just stayed silent. Ryuu saw the girl's fear growing. He walked over to her.

''Kishinuma, you don't have to be scared. I won't let you get hurt, I promise.'' He spoke determined.

Haruna slowly looked into his eyes and saw something she didn't expect to see. She saw honesty. He really wanted to protect her. She managed to crack a smile.

''Tsukino-kun… arigato.'' She spoke softly.

Ryuu just walked away again, back to his character. Haruna sighed. Most of the time, he was just his cold self but sometimes, she saw that caring Ryuu. The caring side of him she always knew he carried. And if she was right, she was the only one who he showed it to. She blushed. It only made her crush on Ryuu worse. That boy… He was amazing.

''You coming?'' Ryuu asked over his shoulder, when he noticed that the blue-haired girl wasn't following.

''Y-Yes!'' Haruna quickly replied.

She caught up to him and once again grabbed his sleeve. They re-entered the hallways again of the school and walked up the staircase.

''Let's go back to the classroom to check if Hanazono-san has returned with her sister. If so, we can tell them the story about the fake main-entrance.'' Ryuu suggested to Haruna, who nodded in agreement.

They proceeded to walk down the route towards the classroom, when a piercing scream stopped them in their tracks. It sounded full of fear and terror and it was a scream of pure agony. But worst of all, it was a scream they both knew.

''YUUKI!'' Haruna shouted.

She immediately started to sprint and Ryuu started chasing her in a split-second.

''Kishinuma! Wait up! It can be a trap!''

''It's my best friend we're talking about! She's in danger!'' Haruna replied, not slowing down one second.

Ryuu caught up to her.

''At least let me protect you then.''

They both ran towards the direction they heard the piercing scream coming from and putted their all in running as fast as they could. Then, they saw what was happening. At the end of a hallway, Yuuki was cowering in fear on the ground, while an adult-man was standing above her, an axe in his hand. He didn't seem to have eyes, instead having to pools of blood on those spots and his skin had a sickening blue-ish color. His clothes were damaged and overall, it reminded Haruna and Ryuu of a zombie.

''Uuaaaaahhhwwww….'' The zombie-like man spoke.

''PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS!'' Yuuki spoke.

At that point, the axe came down and separated her right leg from her body. Yuuki's eyes widened and she let out an ear-deafening scream.

''KYAAAAAAAAAAA!''

''UUWWHAAAAAAAA….'' The man mumbled, this time louder.

He dropped the axe one again and now, her left leg was separated.

''KYAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAHH….'' Yuuki exclaimed.

Blood was oozing everywhere. Haruna and Ryuu were grounded to the ground, eyes widened in terror.

''YUUKI!'' Haruna exclaimed.

Yuuki managed with all her willpower to look over her shoulder.

''H-H-H…. Haru…na..chan…'' She spoke with a sad smile.

The axe came down again and her left arm dropped on the ground. Yuuki's eyes went from normal to widened in a nano-second and her mouth opened to let out another piercing scream.

''NOOO! STOP IT!'' Haruna shouted.

The zombie-man looked in her direction, clearly not impressed, since he gazed back at his victim, raising his axe for another strike.

''UAAALLLGGHHH….'' He spoke.

Then, we lowered his axe, slicing Yuuki's right arm from her body.

''KYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'' Yuuki shouted.

All her limbs were now chopped off her body.

''YUUKI….'' Haruna cried, tears streaming down her face in a rapid pace.

''Haruna… please… tell my sister I love her… And I love you too.'' The white-haired girl, covered in her own blood, smiled.

''YUUKI, NO!'' Haruna shouted.

Then, the axe came down a final time and chopped her head off. Yuuki's head flew through the air and splattered on the ground, her eyes widened and a little pop-out. They almost seemed fish-like. A trail of blood was trailing down her mouth corner and her neck was oozing with blood, since it was separated from the body. Yuuki was gone. The zombie-like man looked at the two teens and Ryuu prepared himself to run. But instead, the man moaned a couple of times, then headed back into a different corridor, leaving the two teens alone.

''Thank god, we're safe.'' Ryuu sighed.

Haruna broke down and lowered on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

''Yuuki… Yuuki!'' She kept wailing.

She placed her hands in front of her face and her shoulders shook from the impact of the sobs. Ryuu lowered himself next to her and rubbed her back.

''I'm sorry… I'm so so sorry.'' He spoke, sincerity in his voice.

''Yuuki… why her? She was such a good person!'' Haruna sobbed.

''It's never fair. This place… we need to get out of here as soon as possible. We, too, are at risk to get murdered.'' Ryuu spoke.

''I-I won't go! I won't leave Yuuki behind!''

''Kishinuma, are you crazy? Do you want to get killed?''

''I WON'T LEAVE YUUKI BEHIND!'' The shy girl shouted.

Ryuu was temporarily taken aback by the fierceness of the shy girl. He sighed.

''She's dead… We can't take her along.'' He spoke the facts.

Haruna's sobs immediately intensified.

''Yuuki… you can't be dead! We made so many promises! What about going to college together after high school? What about the 'confess-to-Kouyama-plan' where I always scolded you about, because I don't want you to get your heart broken. What about the ice-cream Sunday's? Yuuki… please… Come back to me!'' She sobbed, her heart full of sadness.

Ryuu couldn't help but feel the stab of hurt too.

''Kishinuma-san…''

Haruna kept sobbing on the rotten floorboards, her tears never seeming to come to a stop. Ryuu then decided to do something he had never done before; he was going to hug somebody.

''Kishinuma.'' Ryuu spoke.

Haruna looked up with blood-shot eyes.

''Hm?''

Ryuu leaned forward and wrapped his strong, muscled arms around the tiny girl and pressed her close to his chest. Haruna, expecting this gesture the least from him, blushed a deep shade of red and the sobbing immediately went over in sniffling.

''I can't give you Hanazono-san back. But I can promise you to get you out of this place safely. So you can fulfill her last wish: Tell her sister she loved her.'' He spoke.

Haruna shed a couple more tears and buried her head in Ryuu's muscled chest. Ryuu stroked her hair and kept holding her close. After a couple of minutes, Haruna pull herself loose and smiled a thankful smile at Ryuu.

''Thank you, Tsukino-kun.''

Ryuu blushed a tiny bit and looked to the side, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

''You're… welcome.'' He muttered embarrassed.

Haruna then proceeded to stand up and walk over towards Yuuki's right arm. Around her wrist, two bracelets were seen. They were both made of wood. There was a white one with black flowers decorated on the white-painted, wooden beads. There also was a black one which had pink sakura painted all over it. Haruna detached the bracelets from Yuuki's wrist and attached them around her own wrists. She then turned towards Ryuu.

''I will keep the black one myself. The white one… I will give to Atsuki-san, her sister.''

Ryuu nodded.

''I think she would appreciate that.''

Haruna stared at the ground, forcing her tears back.

''Let's keep going.'' She spoke softly.

''Ah…'' Ryuu replied.

They both started walking back into a new corridor they hadn't walked before. For a second, Ryuu thought Haruna was going to stay behind him, shuffling sadly behind him. But then, he felt the tug on his sleeve. He couldn't help but to let out a smile. This girl… she's special.
