Ends meet chapter ten
The gathering
Almost the Last chapter

sorry for the short chapter...

"Kazuko!"
The two twin sisters embraced like they hadn't seen each other years, both smiling with what looked like relief. The two boys stood by them, in an awkward silence, not wanting to talk at that time in particular. The twins had never been separated for more then a few hours in their life, so they really had missed each other's company for the long, scary couple of hours they had been apart. Yuuto's gaze fell to the fallen body of Chikua, not wanting to believe that they were now the only ones left. He was glad of Shinja's safety, and decided to tolerate the presence of the other two whilst they were there.
"Ch...Chikua..." stammered Shinja, breaking away from her sister with cloudy vision. "She's dead!"
"Yoshida too," Kazuko added her expression hardening at the mention of Chikua's death. "It's such a shame isn't it!"
Shinja nodded, sniffing slightly, not knowing what to say in reply.
"We know how to get out of here right? We just have to follow Shinozaki and the others and they'll take it from there. I trust that you still have your paper scraps!" Yuuto exclaimed, holding up his piece that he had kept safe in his student ID name tag. Shinja nodded, feeling the paper crinkle In her ID tag. Hayatu also had his, but didn't bother to take it out and show it to Yuuto.
"Oshiro?"
Everyone glanced at Kazuko, who was fumbling around in her pockets, panic arising in her, making her gasp and sweat. She had defiantly had it earlier in her skirt pocket, so why was it not there now? What was going on?
"Sis? Don't you have it?"
"No!" replied Kazuko with a wobbly tone in her usually so confident tone. "I must of lost it when Chikua..."
"You saw her when she was alive?" asked Shinja, suddenly slightly concerned.
"Um, maybe..."
"Oshiro your hiding something!" accused Hayatu with narrowed eyes. Seeing him like this made Kazuko's heart rate speed up, but for all the wrong reason.
"I'm not!"
"Then what were you saying about Himura?"
"Nothing..."
"Let's not waste time. I'm sure your Shinozaki friend will be waiting for us."
Kazuko followed Yuuto back up the stairs, feeling most uncomfortable with the argument she had just had with her crush. Why was this happening? Shinja was about to follow her twin, when Hayatu pulled on her shoulder and looked at her with worried eyes.
"We can trust her," he told her softly "She has something to do with your best friends death you know."
Shinja glared at him, pulling roughly away from his grasp.
"She's my sister. She'd never hurt Chikua."
Hayatu shook his head disapprovingly as she rushed away from him, wondering whether she would ever say a word against Kazuko; he knew that she hadn't so far. Quickly, he walked back towards Chikua's corpse and had another good look at it. Not because he enjoyed it, but he knew that she couldn't of just died, there would have to be a method of death somehow. He was right, she had bruises all over her body as well as a deep stab wound. Her hands were scratched, but she seemed to be clutching something, a card of some sort. Huh, he thought, this is a student ID card. Carefully, he pulled it out of her hand, rubbing away the blood that covered the name. One glance at it conformed his previous suspicions. It said, Kazuko Oshiro, aged 16.
And attached to it was a white, paper scrap...

The four had checked back at the class room several minutes ago, expecting Ayumi and Yoshiki to be patiently waiting for them. However there was no sign of them, making them all frustrated and confused. What did they do now? As far as they knew they had no lead, no way to escape with out their help. The only option was to find them, or they might not ever escape. If Ryato was around, at least he would want everyone to stay positive, but everyone in the remaining party were feeling quite negative and no one even tried to lighten the dull mood. Yuuto was trying hard to come up with an idea to help them, but his mind was juts completely blank, making him wonder if this place was having a bad effect on his intelligence. He sincerely hoped not. They had circled the the same building at least three times now, and Kazuko was itching to do something that could pass the time of help them get out of the place.
"Got any ideas, brainbox?" she asked Yuuto, breaking the eerie silence that surrounded the four.
"No sorry. You?"
"Yes actually."
They all turned at faced her questioningly, wondering what on earth Kazuko was planning.
"Go on."
"Well Sachiko seems to like me. Maybe we can appease her or something, and then she can help us escape."
"No way, that's too risky, do you want her to kill us all?"
"No, but we haven't found your little Kisiragi friends yet have we now?"
"I guess not..."
"Maybe it would be a good idea!" Shinja piped up "Ayumi told me she managed to appease that ghost girl for an hour or so, and she actually helped her!"
Hayatu tutted, making Shinja feel small and shrink back into herself. It was best if she didn't say anything for the time being.
"What better lead to we have?" muttered Yuuto, turning to Kazuko. "Where do we even start with this?"
Kazuko put a hand to her chin, stroking it as she thought. How on earth could she appease the ghosts? Perhaps she would have to strike a deal with Sachiko...
"Where can I find Sachiko?" she queried, desperate gor an answer "I might be able to strike a deal with her."
"Dealing with spirits?" sneered Yuuto "that's preposterous!"
"Yeah. She did kill Mr Gucci," added Hayatu, anomolusly agreeing with him. "And she's a child murderer you know!
"Stop arguing with me, do you want to escape or not?"
"Guys, please listen to Kazuko! What else are we going to do? She just wants us all to escape!"
"Actually, I was just keen on getting out of here with just you and Hayatu..." Kazuko
Murmured quietly under her breath.
"I agree, the only person I want to save is Shinja," nodded Hayatu, making Kazuko wince with jealousy. Why was he saying stuff like that about her twin. "Even if that means saving Kazuko in the process."
"Er guys..."
"Look Yuuto, what we're all saying is that no one particularly wants you to come with us."
"Sis! Don't listen to them, I don't mind you being here!"
"Don't you find him annoying Shinja?"
"Well it's not that he's just-"
"GUYS!" yelled Yuuto loudly, silencing them all "Do you even realise how much time we're wasting? Oshiro you better summon Sachiko quickly!"
Kazuko nodded, though she didn't like being told what to do be him especially. Also, she had no idea how to summon Sachiko but everyone was staring at her, waiting so she just called her name...

"Sachiko..."
