Chapter 38 Day of the dead part 1
I don't own Kamen Rider Ghost Or DC Super Hero Girls.
Jessica was at home in her room and she was a little worried, she got told by her mother they would be traveling to see they're family for a certain day, she didn't want to leave her friends so her mom said she could at least bring someone with her.
"Who could I bring?"she then looks to a picture of her friends and saw Shun."maybe."
Later the group were at Sweet Justice except for Jessica but they had Wednesday and Parker.
"I see, so this is a shop for cold food."Wednesday said.
"It's more of a ice cream shop but yeah."Barbara said.
"Don't be too weirded out, she didn't come out of her house for many years."Shun said.
"Yeah, that must have been bad."Kara said.
"Yes, I only had two friends before, one of them being Socrates."then her squid goes up to her shoulders.
"Okay, that's interesting."Karen said.
Then Jessica came in and Diana said:"friend Jessica so good that you arrived."
"Yeah, guys I have some bad news."Jessica said surprising them."I need to go with my family for day of the dead."
"Wait so you leaving for a while?"Zatanna said.
"Yeah, mom said I could bring one friend with me."Jessica said.
"Oh pick me."Barbara said.
"I would like to see your other home Jessica."Diana said.
"Actually I was thinking of Shun."she said surprising them.
"Wait really."Parker said.
"Yeah, I think it be nice for Shun to see my family's side."Jessica said.
"Well sure, hey Wednesday, Parker do you mind taking care of the girls?"Shun asked them.
"Of course not, they're my children too."Wednesday said.
"Okay, well looks like we will be going."Shun said making Jessica smile.
Next day they had a plane ride and they arrived at Mexico in Santa Cecilia, they walked around the city and Shun said:"it's nice."
"Jessica."her mother called out to her.
"I'll come, Shun do you mind if I go with my family."Jessica said.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, I'll check this place out."Shun said and she nodded.
He walks around the city and sees mariachis playing, he gives them a thumbs up, he looks at his wallet and sees a couple of currency from this place, he then sees a 12 year old boy shinning shoes, he was alone and Shun goes up to him."care to shine your shoes?"
"Sure why not."Shun sits at the stand and the kid shines his shoes."so got any dreams other than cleaning shoes?"he then chuckles.
"Well I always dream of being a musician."he said.
"Really, say what's your name?"Shun asked.
"Miguel."he said.
"Well Miguel sometimes you should follow your dreams."Shun said.
"I would, but my family hates music."Miguel said.
"Hates music, here that's strange."he then finishes it and Shun gives him a coin, he then looks at a poster."you know they're going to follow your dreams theirs that festival about to appear."
"Nuh uh, my family would freak."Miguel said.
"I know, but."Shun kneels down to him."we all have to follow our dreams, that what my dad told me."
"Wow, so what was your dad like?"Miguel asked.
"Well he used to like to play the shamisen."Shun said.
"What's that?"Miguel said.
"It's like a guitar in japan, it's been something in our family, from my grandma and I still have that guitar."Shun said.
When he arrived at the world the bag he had had the shamisen of his family, it was locked away in the family vault that Shun would have control of once he was old enough.
"Wow really?"he got excited.
"Yeah, it's different how it's played but it still made so much wonderful music."Shun said.
"So did all of your family play the same?"Miguel asked.
"Well my great great great grandmother was the first that started the tradition of the music, her name was Saki Shiba, she also had a sister being aunt Himawari, they were started as simple children with not much in they're lives, but then a wise old woman was playing and they got entranced by it, they then learned from her how to play, when they grew up they became famous on they're little village and went around the land."Shun tells the story with Miguel being amazed."but then tragedy struck, my aunt fell sick and her Shamisen was lost, my grandmother tried to find it but could never do it, she then continued playing in her honor and then she fell in love and married a man, he didn't have a family name as he didn't have a family so he took her name, they gave birth to a son that loved his mothers music to the point he learned it too, then it became a generations thing where all of my family got her Shamisen, my father played it while he was also a writer."
"Wow, it went so many of your family."Miguel said.
"Yes, you should have seen the twin brothers that came before my father, those guys were rock fans."Shun said making them chuckle.
"Miguel."they then saw a old woman with man and woman coming towards them.
"Abuelita."Miguel said.
"What are you doing?"she said.
"Nothing, I was just talking to this guy after I shined his shoes."Miguel said.
"Yeah, I was just making small talk."Shun said and she hits him with a shoe."hey!"
"I know your tricks."she said.
"What tricks, is it so bad to talk to a kid."Shun said and he dodges the shoe.
"What did he tell you Miguel?"his grandmother asked.
"Nothing, he just wanted to know what goes around."Miguel lied.
"Really, if I ever."she then stopped when they heard a voice.
"Stop."they saw Jessica running up to them.
"Jessica."they said.
"Prima Jessica."Miguel said with a smile.
"Abuelita don't hurt that's my friend Shun."Jessica goes to his side.
"What?"she got confused.
"Yes, I am Jessica's plus one, she invited me since her mother let her."Shun said.
She then stares at him with a glare.
"Shun this is my Abuelita Elena."Jessica said nervous.
"Charmed."Shun said with his arms crossed.
Later they went to the family house and Miguel showe Shun his parents."mama, papa, this is Shun, he's Jessica's friend."
"Oh well welcome Shun, I am Luisa."she shakes his hand.
"And I'm Enrique, it seems Jessica picked you, I wonder why?"Enrique said.
"Well she had to pick from our other friends."Shun said.
"Shun."Jessica calls out to him.
"Excuse me."he then goes to meet her.
"I'm so sorry, I should have warned you about my grandmother, her grandmother married a musician and one day he left and never came back, so she started a workshop for making shoes to support her daughter."she then points to a room and Shun saw a old woman there sitting on a chair."Coco, then she made her family make shoes and grandma hates music like her grandmother."
"You don't hate it."Shun said.
"Of course not, mother didn't want to became a shoe maker so she went for a bigger job, of course they understood since it would help the family."Jessica said.
"Well at least you don't think like them."Shun said.
"I know, I wouldn't get along with like Kara if I didn't."Jessica said.
Shun goes out around the city and he goes to a empty area, he then sumons his family shamisen and it has a sakura blossom on it, he then he uses the bachi to play small song with his eyes closed, some mariachis played and then they stopped to see Shun playing under the tree.
"Hey."he stops to look at them."is that shamisen?"
"Yes."Shun said.
"Well, I never expected to see one here."the leader said and they laugh."I have a friend that plays it, he's from japan like you."
"Oh well that's good to know."Shun said.
"Yeah, as true musicians we enjoy all music, so continue playing."he said.
Shun nodded and he closes his eye.
(Insert Tsugaru Shamisen by Takatora Kawamoto here.)
Shun then plays the music and the mariachis closed they're eyes, Jessica and Miguel were around and they saw Shun play.
"Wow."Miguel said.
Jessica was amazed and then he stopped.
The Mariachis clapped and the leader said:"very good, now that kid has a future with that, my friend always told me to close your eyes and feel the music."
They then left and Shun then saw Miguel run up to him."so that's how your family played."
"Yes."Shun then shows him the Shamisen
"Shun that was amazing."Jessica goes up to him with a blush.
"Hey what's with the flower?"Miguel asked.
"I told you this used to belong to my grandmother, she carved a flower there to represent hers while my aunt had a water lilly."Shun said."so what brings you here?"
"I brought Miguel out for a walk since the family wanted him to start to work in the workshop."Jessica said.
"Yes, it isn't fair."Miguel said."auntie saved Jessica saying that she was going to take her job."
"Hey don't worry we'll find a way to help you."Shun said and he nodded.
Later Shun left his stuff in his room and hanged out with Jessica since her mother told her to have go around since her grandmother didn't like him, they went around the area and night was getting dark.
They then saw Miguel with his family at the entrance and saw many of his music stuff on the ground.
"What's going on here?"Jessica asked.
"Miguel had all this stuff even when he wasn't allowed."her mother said.
"But I know that grandpa was a musician, I found his picture."he showed them the family photo that had a baby Coco and a man with his face torned off.
"Miguel that man is evil along with him."Elena points at Shun.
"What me, are you being racist or something?"Shun said.
"I found this."she takes out his Shamisen.
"What?!"Shun said.
"This guitar."she said.
"It's a Shamisen, and you let that go, it's appart of my family."Shun said.
"Yes, and who cares what his family did."Miguel said.
She then throws it to the ground shocking the rest and breaks it with the neck snapped in half.
"No!"Shun then goes it to and holds it.
"There no more music."Elena said.
Shun then looks at her with a glare and his teeth were gritting, Jessica and her mother were shocked to see that look, he then got up and yelled."You stupid bitch, you filthy slut!"that causes them to gasp."I hope you get cursed for what you did to my family's treasure."he then takes it running off.
"He called me that."Elena said.
"Shun."Miguel then runs off to get away from them and to see Shun.
Jessica picked up the pieces and said:"what you did crossed the line grandma."
"What?!"Elena was shocked.
"That was his families legacy, he doesn't have family anymore."Jessica's mother said surprising them.
"I."Elena couldn't say a word.
"All he had was that Shamisen and you took it away from him."Jessica said.
Shun was at the graveyard holding the shamisen and he holds it tightly, he then sees Miguel going to a mausoleum and he follows him, he then sees him going towards a guitar."wait Miguel."he then runs towards him but Miguel falls off and he lands on op of Shun.
They then landed outside a area and saw it was some kind of check in statio, they look around and Miguel said."Where are we?"
They saw many skelletons walking around and Miguel got scared.
"Wait."Shun goes after him.
He then bumps into a small old man and he gets seperated."I'm sorry."
"Miguel."he said.
Then he goes together."is that you Miguel."
"Miguel."a woman plows through him and grabs Miguel.
"Do I know you?"Miguel asked.
"Were your family."she said and puts him down.
"Wait Tia Rosita."he said and he looks at the old man."Papa Julio."then he sees another woman:"Tia Victoria."
"He doesn't seem dead."Victoria said.
"And he's not alive either."Rosita said.
Then came two twins."Tío Óscar and Tío Felipe."
"Hello Miguel."Oscar said but they get shocked."what are you doing here?"
"I got sent here with a friend of mine."Miguel said and Shun went up to them.
"Who is he?"Rosita asked.
"He's Jessica's boyfriend."Miguel said.
"Hey."Shun said.
"Oh, that's amazing."Rosita then hugs him."then your family too."
"But why is he here?"Victoria asked.
"I tried to grab Miguel but then we got sent here."Shun said.
"We need to talk to her."Julio said and they went to a office place and saw a woman there wearing a purple dress.
"Uh Imelda."Julio said.
She then turns around and saw Miguel."Miguel."she then sees Shun."and you are?"
"Shun."he said.
"He's Jessica's boyfriend."Julio said.
"Oh."she looks at him."so she picked a japanese."
"What, are you racist?"Shun narrows his eyes.
"No, just didn't expect that."Imelda said.
They went to a office to talk to a guy and he said:"yup, he's cursed."
"Cursed."Miguel said.
"Yes, you stole from the dead so now your going to be turned into one of us, except for him."he points at Shun."it says here he's half ghost."
"Half ghost?"they others said.
"Yes, so until day ends Miguel must have the blessing of a relative to leave along with Shun from the one he is connected which is yours, if Miguel doesn't leave he will be stuck here but Shun would have to wait another year to try again."the man said.
"Okay no way I'm going to stay here for a whole year."Shun said.
"Then."Imelda takes a leaf."Miguel, Shun I will grant you the blessing with the condition of you never playing music ever."she points at Miguel surprising him."and you must leave Jessica since your family has no part in it."
Shun gets shocked and glares at her, she goes towards them but Shun slaps it away."no!"
They gasped and Shun said."I will not leave Jessica, my family might have been musicians but you have no right to judge us, in fact I should judge yours."
"How dare you."Imelda said.
"I dare just fine, your granddaughter broke my family Shamisen and she had no right to do it."Shun said.
The man got surprised and looks through a drawer takes out a folder, he reads it and asked:"did it have a curse on it?"he was worried.
"What, it was a legend that whoever breaks it that's not appart of the family and has Ill intent will be punished."Shun said.
"Then."he then gulps."the Rivera family might be in trouble."
"What do you mean?"Imelda goes up to him.
"It's states here, that objects from Japan have spirits inside of them that protect they're family from harm."he said.
"That's right."they then saw Toucon Boost parka came out shocking them.
"Dad!"Shun said.
"The legend also said that all of our family members that played it will attack those that destroyed their treasure, your granddaughter destroyed it so each of our family members will appear one by one to punish your family."Shun's father said.
"Oh no."Rosita said.
"There must be something that we can do to stop mr."Julio said.
"I am Ken, the only way is for a member of your family to find my aunt's Shamisen and deliver it to my grandmother, only that will make her happy."Ken said.
They then heard music and looked outside the window.
(Insert Yoshida Brothers Rising here.)
Everyone looked on top of a building and saw two young men wearing kimonos with they're bodies being transparent, one had brown hair and a beard glowing blue and the other was green with black hair, they played a copy of the Shamisen.
"The Shiba brothers, Kou and Kin, they played the instrument before me."Ken said.
"What are they doing?"Imelda asked.
"They are playing, each member will play until it goes to Saki and once she's finished she will destroy your house."Ken said shocking them.
"Then we will be forgotten."Victoria said scared.
"You must stop them."Imelda holds Ken.
"I can't, soon I will have to join them to at least buy some time, you all must find my aunt's Shamisen to make them stop."Ken said.
"Then where is it?"Felipe asked.
"I don't know, it was lost after she died."Ken said.
"Well I'm going to get someone else's blessing."Shun goes out.
"From who?"Imelda asked.
"Your husband."he points at her making her and the family gasp.
"You wouldn't."she said.
"I would."he then runs off.
"Shun wait for me."Miguel follows him.
"Miguel no!"Imelda said.
"You have more pressing matters, you can go find him to bring him back home, but if you waste too much time."Ken looks at the brothers."you will also be alone."
That made her gasp and they went off to find them.
Now the curse of the Shiba family has been released upon the Rivera's, can they find Himawari's Shamisen before it's too late along with sending Miguel back home find out next time.
Note:Yes this is based on Coco the movie, since Jessica does have some Mexican origins I decided for her to be related to them, now more of Shun's family appears and they're not exactly the same as the other spirits as the japanese ones are different.
