Corpse Party
Memory Loss and Blood Spill
Halloween Special
~At Seiko´s Place, Yosuhei´s POV~
I smiled softly as I put on the last details of my costume. Excitement, happiness, but most of all nervousness was residing in my chest. I smirked a bit as I put the furry mask residing a werewolf in it´s proper place on my face.
"Now that´s a cool werewolf" I said with a smile as I looked away from the mirror and sighed silently.
Class rep and the school council had been planning the Halloween culture festival for weeks. It had been something all of the upperclassmen had been talking about for forever, and everyone had been asking everyone what they were going to wear for the festival.
Seiko had been bugging me all week to go shop some cool costumes with her, and today we had finally picked out, and bought our costumes. Seiko had been very secretive about her own costume though.
"Seiko, are you ready?" I yelled to her, as I stepped out of her room and up to the bathroom door, Seiko standing inside.
"Just a moment Yosu" I heard from inside "I just need to put on the last of my make up"
"Alright, but hurry up, ok?" I said "The festival is starting really soon you know"
"I know, I know" Seiko said "Just a moment"
The door to the bathroom opened and Seiko stepped out, revealing herself in her costume.
Even when she was preparing a costume for a Halloween festival she managed to pick the best outfit possible. She was wearing a black and grey witch costume, frills along her long sleeves, and thin strings along her shoulders and covering the open space in her costume that revealed most of her back and shoulder blades.
My eyes drifted downwards and saw a short skirt ending in frills. She was wearing Black kneesocks and black high heels, and my eyes then drifted upwards to her face. Her make up consisted of black eyeshadow and black lipstick, and she had also put on some kind of light purple star one-time tattoo on her cheek, making her look much like a girl taken straight out of an anime.
Her costume was complete with a long wooden staff, and a tall and wide pointy hat to finish.
"So, what do you say?" she asked with a smile as she twirled around to let me see all of her costume.
"I´m saying that costume fits you perfectly Seiko" I said with a smirk "You always impress me with your choice of clothes"
Ah, ah, ah" Seiko said as she wiggled a finger at me "Flattery get´s you nowhere"
"That´s not always true though" I said with a chuckle as I put my mask back in position again.
"Shut up" She said with a giggle as she kissed my cheek "Come on, we´re going to be late if we don´t hurry"
"Ok, ok, I'm coming!" I said with a chuckle as I let Seiko drag me out of her house by the hand.
I smiled softly and squeezed her hand a little as we walked down the road towards our school.
"I hope I don´t get my costume dirty" Seiko mumbled with a worried expression "It was really expensive"
"I can see why" I said with a smirk "If I didn´t know better I would think you had that specially made for your body type"
"Oh, and what is that supposed to mean, hmm?" Seiko said with her famous cat-like face "Are you saying you´ve been checking me out?"
I could instantly feel how my cheeks began burning up and I looked away with a nervous laughter, scratching my neck nervously.
" , of course not!" I said as I continued to laugh for a moment "I-It´s not like I´m thinking about that stuff or anything… Hahaha"
"Hmm.. Pervert" Seiko said with a smirk as she wrapped her arm around mine.
"Hmph. You´re one to talk" I mumbled as I pouted a bit.
"Come on, don´t be such a Debby downer" She said with a giggle "We´re going to school to have fun!"
"Yeah, that´s true" I said with a smile "It´s not all that fun when you keep teasing me though"
"Aww don´t be like that!" Seiko said with a smile as she tugged a bit at my costume shirt "My big, strong, werewolf should be able to take more than my teasing"
"As you said yourself, flattery get´s you nowhere" I said with a chuckle as I kissed her cheek.
"Damn" She said with a smirk and a giggle as we began making our way through the school courtyard.
Everyone else was waiting for us by the front entrance. The whole group was there. Satoshi as a pharaoh, Naomi as a vampire, Ayumi as a wizard, Yoshiki as a bandage-wrapped mummy, Yuka as a big fluffy cat, Morishige as a cowboy, and Mayu as a black panther.
"Hey! Over here!" Mayu yelled with joy as she saw me and Seiko walk in through the front gate.
I smiled a little and wrapped an arm around Seiko´s shoulders as we walked up to our friends, fistbumping with Satoshi, Yoshiki and Morishige, and ruffling Yuka´s hair a bit, receiving an adorable pout in return as she began fixing her hair.
"You look great everyone" I said with a smile "Cool outfits all of you"
"Y-You think so?" Ayumi mumbled silently as she pulled nervously at her skirt "I don´t know, I was having a hard time choosing costumes"
"You look great in whatever you would have chosen Ayumi" Yoshiki said with a smirk.
Ayumi blushed a little and pouted slightly as she glared at Yoshiki.
"D-Don´t say such embarrassing things!" She mumbled as she pulled at her skirt even more "I can´t believe my sister made me wear this stupid thing"
"It´s true you look good though" Yoshiki mumbled as he scratched his neck "B-But whatever. Ms. Yui came by earlier and told us that we are all meeting in the gym for the Halloween party in about half an hour"
"Good to know" I said with a smile "What do you guys think about my costume?"
I stood back a few steps and spun around to let them see everything.
"You look really cool Yosuhei" Yuka said with an excited giggle "Maybe you´ll even win the costume contest!"
"Huh? Costume contest?" I asked, curious about what she meant.
I hadn´t heard anything about any costume contest, but the thought of it excited me.
"Huh?! You haven´t heard of it Yosuhei?" Naomi asked surprised "It´s one of the biggest events in all of the school year!"
"Really?" I asked "How come I haven´t heard anything about this contest?"
"We´ve talked about this all week dummy!" Seiko said with a giggle as she flicked my forehead "You should start paying attention!"
"Aow, stop that!" I mumbled as I rubbed my forehead, the others laughing at our behavior "Yeah, really funny guys"
"But anyway, I think we all have a pretty good chance at winning" Morishige said with a confident smile "I mean, I literally just saw someone wearing a robot costume made of cardboard"
"Guess he´ll never be in the costume department" Mayu said with a satisfied snicker "I´m happy I was able to make my own costume"
"And you did a really good job Mayu" Morishige said with a smile as he patted her head "But come on, let´s get inside. No sense in staying outside in the cold"
We began making our way inside, laughter and blurred chatting being heard from inside. All around us people from all grades was chatting, laughing or playing happily with each other, some middle schoolers was happily chasing each other around the halls, in and out between the older students. Yuka jumped excitedly in her place, looking up at her brother.
"Can I go play with my friends?" She asked pleadingly as her eyes gleamed from excitement.
"Sure, go ahead" Satoshi said with a smile "But remember we all gather in the gym in half an hour ok?"
"Ok big brother! See you soon everyone!" Yuka yelled as she sprinted after her friends, who had disappeared down the hall.
I chuckled softly and shook my head slightly.
"Oh, the innocence of youth" I said with a chuckle as I took Seiko´s hand with a smirk "How about you and I go explore what the classes has of projects for the festival?"
"That sounds fun!" Seiko answered with a smile as she began pulling me along "See you guys later!"
She immediately pulled me along the hall and up the stairs.
"Apparently, one of the other classes have made a haunted house" Seiko said with a challenging smirk "Do you dare to follow me there?"
"Me? Who do you think you´re talking to?" I said with a confident smirk, as I beat myself on the chest like a caveman.
"That sounds like a challenge to me" Seiko said with a smirk "Tell you what, the person who yells or screams the least from the haunted house, get´s to do something to the other person of his or her choice. You in?"
"I´m definitely in" I said as I shook her hand "You´re on lady. I´ve watched about every horror movie in existence with the other guys. You don´t stand a chance"
"Oh yeah? We´ll see about that" She said as she put on her cat-like face "You´re on"
We laughed a bit at each other for a moment before sprinting to the area of the haunted house.
~10 minutes later~
I chuckled softly and smirked a little as I looked down at the slightly shaking Seiko, who desperately clinged onto my arm.
"Geez, it wasn´t even that scary" I said with a chuckle.
"A chainsaw, was sticking out in-between the curtains!" Seiko yelled in response as she glared up at me.
"It was made of plastic!" I said with a laugh "But now, for my prize"
"Ugh, let´s just get this over with" Seiko pouted a bit and puffed out her cheeks "I have a feeling this is going to be perverted"
"You know me too well" I said with a chuckle.
She pouted at me a bit and sighed softly "So, what´s the punishment?"
~At the gym, 20 minutes later~
"I can´t believe you made me do that!" Seiko yelled at me with a blush on her cheeks, as she pulled down in her skirt.
"A deal´s a deal" I said with a smirk as I patted my back pocked on my costume "These are in safety with me"
"But it´s so cold…" She mumbled, her skin getting goosebumps "Can´t I just take them off when we get home?"
"Nope" I said with a smirk "you need to keep them off, UNTIL we get home. That was the deal"
"You´re such a pervert!" She squeeled as she pulled down in her skirt as far as she could "I hope no one sees it"
"I´m sure no one will see anything" I said with a chuckle "But pay attention will you? The teachers are about to speak"
The lighting darkened and a spotlight was pointed towards a temporary stage, where Ms. Yui and the other teachers stood with bright smiles and happy expressions. Even the teachers had managed to pick awesome costumes, and Ms. Yui had picked a witch costume, much like Seiko´s but in a different color scheme, and with a broom and her cat Monet, on her arm.
She sent an evil smirk out at the crowd and smiled softly as the principal began his speech.
"Now, thank you all for gathering" He started "The dancefloor behind the scene will be open for use shortly. And now Ms. Yui will announce the two winners of the costume contest!"
Who did you vote for Seiko?" I whispered silently to my girlfriend.
"Naomi of course!" Seiko said with a snicker "And Satoshi as well. I would love to see their embarrassed faces again!"
"Yeah, me too" I said with a chuckle, turning my attention bac to the stage.
"And the winners, are…" Ms. Yui said with a smile as she opened an envelope, looking at a piece of paper "Morishige, and Suzumoto!"
"Huh!? I won!?" Mayu mumbled in surprise as the spotlight fell onto her and Morishige by her side "God uhmm… I don´t think I can walk up there!"
"Come on Mayu!" Morishige said with a warm smile "I´ll go with you, so no need to be afraid!"
"O-Ok…" Mayu mumbled nervously "If you´ll be there I can do it Shig"
I smiled softly and clapped enthusiastically as I watched Mayu and Morishige walk onto the stage, hand in hand, and whistled excitedly as I watched the pair being crowned as monster king and queen.
"And that´s the end of the costume competition" Ms. Yui announced with a smile "Now the dancefloor is open, so get dancing, and have fun!"
The curtains behind the scene drew back, revealing a shimmering dancefloor in the back, with multi colored spotlights hanging around the ceiling, illuminating a big DJ booth in the far back, and several tables nearby with chips, soda and other snacks.
I smiled and looked all around me, the older students rushing onto the dancefloor immediately, while most of the middle and ground school students scattered into the many halls outside the gym, to play or just to hang around.
I smiled softly and looked over at Seiko, who had a certain glint in her eye.
"You want to dance?" I asked as I smiled at her, extending my hand towards her for her take.
"If you want to dance, i´ll need what you took from me back" She said with a smile as she extended her own hand towards me "Hand them over"
"Fine" I mumbled as I dug into my back pocket and gave her what she wanted.
"Thanks, let me go fix this predicament" She said with a smirk as she ran off.
I chuckled softly and walked over to the snack table to get something to drink as I waited for Seiko. She soon returned and took my hand in mine as she lead me to the dance floor.
"I´ll just warn you, uhh" I mumbled as I blushed a little "I don´t really know how to dance"
"Don´t worry, just follow my moves" Seiko said with a smile as she stopped walking and turned around, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Oh, were staring with a slow dance first huh?" I mumbled as I realized a slow song was on "I guess I can dance to that"
"Good" She said with a giggle as she wrapped her arms a bit tighter around my neck, puling herself a bit closer to me.
I smiled softly and blushed a little as I put my hands on her hips. I smiled and sighed softly as the soft guitar of the music blasters entered and exited my ears, me and my partners silent swaying making me forget everything about the setting or the surroundings, and just focusing on this simple moment me and Seiko had together.
It didn´t even matter if someone was watching us. I simply didn´t care. All I cared about was her, and me. Us two, together. I felt like I was drifting away, slowly floating down a river of many, many memories I had already made with Seiko, in the short span of time I had known and been with her. And this was the latest addition to that river of memories.
As the music slowly began to fade in volume, I smiled and softly looked into Seiko´s eyes.
"Seiko? I mumbled silently, receiving a smile from my angel.
"Yeah?" She mumbled silently as she put her head against my chest.
"I love you" I mumbled silently as I wrapped my arms around her body, silently embracing her as we fell silent.
"I love you too" She mumbled silently.
I smiled softly and slowly leaned downwards towards her, kissing her lips softly as I felt her hands run onto my hands, cupping my cheeks. I smiled softly and wrapped my arms tighter around her body, wanting to absorb her presence with mine as we shared this intimate moment with each other.
~On the way home~
I sighed silently and looked up at the sky, smiling silently as I watched the soft starlight and the illuminating presence of the big full moon above our heads. I smiled softly and looked over at Seiko as she line danced on the sidewalk, holding her high heels in her hand.
"Geez, my feet are going to be so sore tomorrow" She whined a bit as she pouted.
"Yeah, but that´s what you get for wearing high heels" I said with a chuckle.
"How else was I going to reach you?" She asked with a smirk "I wouldn´t be able to kiss you properly if I hadn´t worn high heels"
"Point taken" I said with a laugh as we walked onto her porch and inside the house as quietly as possible.
"My dad has probably already put the little one´s to bed" Seiko mumbled silently.
"They wasn´t at the Halloween party?" I asked curiously.
"Of course they were" She said with a smile "But since my siblings still are young, they went home early"
"Makes sense" I said as Seiko and I snuck into her room and closed the door behind us.
I turned my back to Seiko to give her some privacy, before beginning to pull off my shirt and changing into my nightwear. Seiko had already changed and slipped under the covers as I finished, and I smiled a little as I slipped under the covers beside her. She smirked a bit and wrapped her arms around my neck as she looked into my eyes.
"You want to be close today huh?" She said with a smirk.
"I want to be close every day" I said with a chuckle as I kissed her cheek.
"Hehe you´re such a pervert sometimes" She said with a snicker "But I still love you"
"I love you too baby" I mumbled as I pecked her lips.
"Turn around so I can snuggle up to you" Seiko said with a smile and I did what she told me.
I could feel she wrapped her arms around my waist as I turned my back to her, and I smiled as I looked back at her over my shoulder.
"Good night Seiko" I mumbled silently and sleepily.
"Good night Yosu" Seiko mumbled before silently falling asleep.
It didn´t take long for sleep to grab hold of me as well, and I soon closed my eyes, drifting into dream land.
