A/N: I own nothing except my Oc`s. Team Gris-Gris owns Corpse Party.

"What the…What happened? Where am I?" Satoshi asked himself as he woke up. He looked around, "Was I…knocked out?" he asked himself. He began searching the room for anyone he knew. He picked up a cassette tape, just in case he needed it. He found an article and read it, "According to this article, one girl survived the murders, but if this photograph is correct…then it`s that girl in the red dress that we saw earlier" he said to himself. "Why would someone who wasn`t killed be haunting the school?", he then tried to leave through the door. "Looks like it`s locked" he says. "To worry for someone`s well-being so much that it torments you to the core" a girl said, it was Naho. "It`s an exquisite stigma that afflicts the living and the dead alike" she finished. "And you are?" Satoshi asked, like Yoshiki he thought her eyes looked like those of a dead fish. "I`m…the spirit of a girl who died here" Naho replied, "You and your friends are trapped here because you preformed the Sachiko Ever After Charm…and messed it up". "You mean the paper doll thing we all did? How did we mess up?" Satoshi asked. "One of you chanted the phrase too many or too few times. It all depends on the number of participants" Naho replied, "And someone goofed". Satoshi then remembered what Ayumi said before they all did the charm. I`m pretty sure it wasn`t me. I remember saying it nine times he thought, So did someone else mess up? Why? No. "It might have been on purpose. Maybe one of them thought it was silly and didn`t bother to count" Naho said. "Even if it wasn`t on purpose, they might have messed up without meaning to. Can you really speak for them?" she continued. "Shut the hell up already!" Satoshi yelled, angry with Naho for insulting his friends. She giggled and said, "Sorry. It seems like I`ve said to much. Do you…still have your scrap of the paper doll? Keep it safe, treat it like a memento". "S-Sorry to cut this short, but I`m in a bit of a hurry" he said. She then started to chant and Satoshi felt like he was burning as he lost consciousness.

I hope Yuu and the others are okay Seiko thought. "W-Wait, isn`t that?" Naomi asked, noticing a familiar face in the corridor. She ran towards the person and sure enough it was Satoshi. "Satoshi! Satoshi!" Naomi yelled shaking him. He eventually woke up, "N-Naomi?" he asked. She was shocked that it was actually him, she then flung her arms around him. "Dumdass! Where have you been?" she yelled crying into his shoulder. "N-Naomi?" he said confused. Naomi then realized what she was doing, "Sorry, I-I just" she tried to explain, "There`s...no need. There`s no need...to apologize" he said blushing. Naomi was relieved that Satoshi didn`t mind what she just did. Seiko looked at them half-smiling, happy that they were reunited, but sad the she and Honda couldn`t do that anymore. "It`s good to see you`re alright Shinohara" Satoshi said, "Likewise" Seiko said. "That reminds me, I have to find Yuka" he said, "I have no time to waste". He then got up and started moving towards the second wing, the two girls running after him.

Ayumi had stopped running and Miss Yui had caught up. "Where is Kishinuma-kun anyway?" Ayumi asked, "I don`t know. I was focused on making sure you wouldn`t get hurt" Miss Yui replied. As the two of them went back inside, a familiar face showed himself. "Tsutsuki-kun" Ayumi piped up, hearing what they said beforehand, he didn`t bring up that Yoshiki was missing. "Good news, the others are safe. Gonta is with Yuka, Morishige is alive and Satoshi is with Nakashima and Sei…er Shinohara" he said. "That`s great!" Miss Yui exclaimed, but her face then went back to being sad. Ayumi explained what happened to Mayu and Honda was shocked. "…Goddammit! Poor Suzumoto" he exclaimed while Miss Yui was comforting Ayumi, who was crying. "It`s HER fault!" Ayumi said as she began running. "Shinosaki-san! Wait, why have the spirits stopped with…whatever they were doing?" Miss Yui asked Honda. "I`m not sure, let`s hope this lasts" he replied, and with that Miss Yui ran after Ayumi. Suddenly, the doll started weeping, "What now?" Miss Yui wondered. They continued on and found Naho in classroom 1-A. "Naho…Saenoki!" Ayumi said, causing Naho to turn around. "You`re a liar! Liar, LIAR!" Ayumi yelled, "Those child spirits didn`t give a crap about the killer`s stupid repentance! Give me back Suzumoto-san!" she said, starting to cry. Miss Yui and Honda could only watch as she had her little temper tantrum. Just then however, "I`ve said it before and I`ll say it again: Your voice really travels" a voice said. They turned towards the voice and discovered, it was Yoshiki, "Kishinuma-kun!" the girls yelled. "Yoshiki!" Honda said, Yoshiki then began walking before falling onto one knee. "You okay, Shinosaki, Miss Yui?" he asked, "You`re one to ask! What on earth happened to you? There`s blood dripping from your forehead!" Miss Yui exclaimed. "Well, as soon as you ran after Shinosaki, I got struck in the noggin from behind…Gik" Yoshiki explained, clenching his forehead in pain. Ayumi kneeled down to make sure he was alright, "But I`m fine don`t worry. Dunno where exactly, but I was locked up in some gloomy little room. The child spirits were there…along with some really big dude holding a hammer" he finished. "Yoshikazu" Honda mumbled, "…How…did you get here, then?" Ayumi asked. " Well after a little while in that room, I lost consciousness again…and when I woke up I was in the first floor hallway" Yoshiki replied, "Either way, I`m just glad you`re alright" Ayumi said. "Me too" Miss Yui said, "Wouldn`t want you to end up like me" Honda said, "I don`t know how much more of this I can take. I don`t want anyone else to die" Ayumi said.

"I…am not mistaken" Naho said, interrupting them, "If those child spirits were to find peace, even if they had to be appeased one by one…then these closed spaces, given shape by their bound souls, should not be able to remain in existence". "We let them hear the killer`s regrets though" Yoshiki pointed out, "…and it did nothing to help us! What kind of person are we dealing with anyway?". "The man with the hammer who attacked you…He was their murderer" Naho said, "It seems he`s got a violent streak even in death. He harms the living indiscriminately. So your first order of business should be to calm him down", "And how are we supposed to do that?" Ayumi asked. "Based on my mentor`s research, that doll you have would be a good place to start" Naho replied. "When he was alive it belonged to him. His mother gave it to him and he relied on it to keep him leveled and in balance. I`m sure he`s looking for it", "Hold on…Who`s this mentor of yours?" Yoshiki asked. "My personal affairs are none of your concern" Naho replied with the room shaking. "Sorry about that. *ahem* You`ll need to find that man`s body or his remains anyway" she said calm again. "It should be in this school somewhere. If you find him and return the doll…everything will be juuuust fine" and with that she disappeared. "What the hell was that all about?" Yoshiki wondered, "So I was right" Honda said. "What do you mean Tsutsuki-kun?" Miss Yui asked, "If what she said is true, then by appeasing those children you could meet up with the others again" Honda explained. "Really?" Ayumi asked, "But first things first, how are you holding up Yoshiki?" Honda asked. "The guy had lousy aim, but managed to hit me with the handle" he replied, "Be grateful, if he had hit you dead on you`d be in my condition" Honda said. "You`re lucky I have some cloth bandages with me. I`ll see what I can do about dressing that wound" Ayumi said, after Yoshiki made a sarcastic comment they set of to find the children. "Wait, you mentioned the name Yoshikazu, right?" Miss Yui asked, "Yeah, that`s the guy`s name. Yoshikazu Yanagihori, the son of the principle" Honda replied. The three of them then went to find something of use.

"Gonta! Gonta-kun!" Nana and Ryutaro were yelling, after he had found out that Yoshikazu was the one responsible for the deaths of Nari and Honda he had run of. Eventually they found him, "What the hell were you thinking? We were worried about you dumbass!" Ryutaro yelled at him. "You can`t just run of like that" Nana scolded him, Gonta just stood there like a statue. "I wasn`t thinking. I just ran ahead" he replied, "I`m sorry, I just feel so useless. I wanted to avenge their deaths, not caring if I died. At least you look fine". "Do you have any idea what could have happened to us because of you, huh? Don`t you care about your friends? Doesn`t seem like it to me asshole! An apology isn`t gonna cut it this time! Let`s just keep moving" Ryutaro said, angrily walking ahead with Nana traling behind him. Gonta went after them and noticed something different. Nana was really quiet, even more than usual. He then went in front of Ryutaro, "Like I said, an apology isn`t enough" he said. "I understand, but that doesn`t mean you can scare Nana like that" Gonta replied, Ryutaro looked over at his girlfriend who was shaking and looked really scared. Did I cause this? Ryutaro asked himself, "Look, I know it won`t cut it, but I`ll apologize as many times as needed. You know you would have done the same thing, you know what it`s like to be in love. Let`s just forgive and forget, okay?" Gonta asked, a little red from admitting he was in love with an outstretched hand. "…Right, for everyone`s sake" Ryutaro said, shaking Gonta`s hand, "If only you could have told her". Gonta mumbled something and Nana smiled at the two of them as Ryutaro turned to her, "Sorry, I didn`t mean to scare you" he said with an apologetic look. She giggled and kissed him, "It`s okay I forgive you, but if we find a way to get home, you`ll go with me and leave things here to Gonta-kun" she said. He nodded and the three of them went to look for Satoshi. Yuka smiled, happy things worked out and grabbed Nana`s hand. After not to long, another earthquake acurred and they all lost conciosness, the last thing Gonta saw was a tall figure.
