Note: First off, thanks to akai ladycuteluck for spotting the errors in the first chapter of this fic. And this

time I'm being extra careful in checking them out before uploading them. As for details, yes, I failed to

elaborate what kind of school and uniform that Hajime and co. are wearing, so now I'm including those and

several references from various animes. As for having long notes, well, its because it was essential to the

story. A short chapter would be too boring. As you notice that other fics have long chapters so that readers

will be glued to the storyline without feeling rushed. Still please feel free to send in comments.

Second, As I said in the previous chapter, I will be putting up elements that I borrowed from movies (from

Hollywood), comics (either DC or Marvel), and Animes. These elements will start on this chapter and so

on. See if you can guess them. I'll provide the answers in the next chapter. And once again, lemon parts

will commence mid-way along the story (maybe halfway along future chapters). So be patient. I'll make

sure it will be artistically and tastefully done. 

Disclaimer: See Chapter 1. I don't like repeating myself typing those you know what…

Chapter 2: First Week After Classes...

A week after the first day of classes, Hajime and Leo were quick to adjust on their high school

life. They were given the go-signal to wear their school uniform, which was a light-green tuxedo and pants,

complete with white long sleeve polo and orange necktie (the girls were wearing light-green blazer and

skirt with white blouse) This rule was compulsory for first to fourth year students (Clue: If you watch the

anime about a soccer player, you'll get the idea of what these students look like when wearing their school

uniforms. Its theme is similar to that of the Captain Tsubasa series), not to mention that with this policy, it's

a "No uniform No entry rule". This violation will also result in an absence from attendance as well, so that

students will be disciplined. The students didn't find this rule a problem as they always follow school rules.

They didn't feel pressured during and after classes. And not only do they enjoy their school life, they also

enjoyed the school's scenery. Aside from the school being huge, it was also complete with all facilities,

ranging from the basketball court (Clue: basketball anime), to the gym for their P.E. classes, the library, the

cooking room for their Home Economics subject (Clue: a magical girl anime) up to the swimming pool

area (Clue: an anime bout a gangster turned teacher). Hajime and Leo even found a new hangout by

"discovering" the rooftop of the school (again, an anime bout a gangster turned teacher) The teachers of

their school were friendly and intelligent. They were especially caring for their students. Even though there

were four sections in their batch (each year level have three sections ranging from A-C. Hajime and Leo

were in Section 1-C), Hajime and Leo didn't have any close friends apart from Momoko and her three

classmates, but still they got along with their classmates. Because they were quick to adjust on their new

environment, plus with new friends, their section advisor and their enthusiasms, they didn't have difficulties

in their studies. Even Hajime didn't fall asleep during lectures. And surprisingly, they both did well in their

quizzes and oral recitations. Their classmates mostly favored Leo because of his resources in science and

his "paranormal" stories, while Hajime was their main target of good laughs because they've been teasing

him about Momoko, in which Hajime blushes uncontrollably even though he knew that Momoko was just a

friend. His section advisor, Ms. Chizuru Orencia, who turned out to be their Social Studies teacher in his

elementary school (she transferred to Seirin High, the name of the school in this fanfic (and not to be

confused with Seirin High School from ! Take a guess...  )), felt sympathy for Hajime because of her

students' romantic taunts, even though she wonders if Hajime and Momoko would really make a good

couple, since she met them during her teaching in her old elementary school. In the second year level, even

Momoko wasn't spared from gossips from her classmates (her section is 2-A). Her three friends have been

constantly teasing her on who would make a better suitor: Hajime or Leo. At first Momoko managed to

compose herself since she knew what her classmates were getting at, but her three friends' rebuttals and

quick wits, as well as making cooing sound effects, Momoko finally blushed at the behest of her friends'

their verbal tussles.

Two months have passed since the starting of classes. School life was relatively

normal. The "Ghosts At School" gang, (A term that Hajime and company called themselves. For the

Philippines fan fic readers, think of it as "barkada". BTW, I shortened that name from Ghostbusters At

School since it doesn't feel and sound right. ) Hajime, Leo and Momoko continue to hang out even though

they missed the company of Satsuki and Keichiirou, as well as Amanojako. Leo became a bit suspicious as

he noticed that Hajime was getting a bit closer to Momoko, although he finds it normal since Momoko was

now more beautiful in appearance. Even Leo himself felt attracted to his female friend. Many of their

schoolmates were noticing the G. A. S. hanging around each other. They wonder if either Hajime or Leo

were after Momoko's heart. The boys who have crushes at Momoko were constantly confronting

Hajime even though they were told that he and Momoko were just friends. And with Leo as witness,

Hajime was saved from further arguments from his "rivals" for Momoko's heart. His rivals left the rooftop.

They find themselves threatened by a mere first year student. Leo wasn't on their "hit list" since they've

deemed him to "nerdy" for Momoko. Leo was also surprised that, not only his female classmates, but also

his first year batch mates and even the female second year girls find themselves attracted to Hajime! This

surprised even Hajime himself. Leo then used it as a means of making fun at him. He ended up getting

trapped in a headlock from Hajime. As usual, Leo tells his classmates about his paranormal findings, and

everything else. His classmates deemed his findings too "fictional". Of course, his classmates have

never encountered ghosts, so they don't fully believe Leo's claims. As first-term exams approaches all

students were busy preparing themselves with all the notes they accumulated. Though some of the

upcoming exams have multiple choices and some are open notes, they did not want to take any chances.

Inside the library, Hajime and Leo were taking notes from an encyclopedia, they were approached by

Momoko. She greeted them and asks them how they were doing. They exchanged pleasantries until

Momoko decides to head back to her classroom, bidding them good luck on their upcoming exams.

After their first-term exams, the school had arranged for a fieldtrip going to one of Japan's most

famous nature parks. It was announced two weeks before the first-term exams that the date of the field trip

will be on the day after the exam, which is on Saturday. This raised the morale of the students, making

them even more determined to pass the exam. Many were excited and had bought tickets and paid for the

field trip transportation (for the Pinoy readers, think of it as, if your school is based in Manila, the nature

park that your going to visit is Pagsanjan Falls or Villa Escudero. Besides, I really haven't been visiting

some of our Philippines' other nature parks, so Gomenasai.). As the day of the field trip came, the students

were on board the bus, Hajime was already aboard, looking at the window still waiting for Leo. Again he

reminiscences his old days when the G. A. S. gang were still complete and had fun in their past field trips.

They had so much fun back then, and wished that despite being just the three of them, he hoped that they

would enjoy more. He was glad that Leo was bringing with him his video camera so that after recording

their "greatest moment", he will show it to Satsuki and Keiichirou when Leo finishes the editing. His trail

of thoughts were interrupted when a voice called him. "Hi, Hajime." A voice boomed. Turning towards the

source, it was Momoko, dressed in a casual T-shirt and jeans. Hajime finds himself drawn to Momoko's

beauty and charms, but his presence of mind quickly brought him back to reality, as well as suppressing a

blush on his face. "Oh hi," says Hajime. "You…look great," he stammers a bit. "Why thank you." She

smiles, then asks, "Is this seat taken?" she indicated the seat beside Hajime. "None at the moment, since I'm

still waiting for Leo". Was Hajime's response. Hajime then motions Momoko to seat beside him, and she

accepts. The two friends started chatting, not aware that other students, ranging from first to third year

students, were observing them, wondering if there was a score happening between them or not. Even some

of the jocks (the ones who have crushes on Momoko), were gritting their teeth as they silently cursed

Hajime for making a "pass" at the object of their desire. At this point, Leo arrived, panting as he told them

he was making adjustments on his video cam and dashing towards school fearing he would be left behind.

Just as Momoko was about to stand up, the Jocks were preparing themselves to seat next to were Momoko

was going to sit. But Leo told Momoko stay in her seat as he chose a seat in front of his two friends. And

so Momoko stayed on her seat beside Hajime, disappointing her secret male admirers. Momoko's closest

classmates also joined the G. A. S. group as well, seating near them. They also brought their video cams as

well. As the bus started running its engine, the students became very, very excited as their field trip was

about to start. The bus then began its journey to their destination. The G. A. S. gang, as well as Momoko's

friends, were also excited. Hajime decided to stay silent for a while, though he was also excited. Still he felt

somewhat anxious over something even he don't know why. But his thoughts were interrupted by Leo, who

told him to join them in their group picture. Momoko had brought a camera with them. And so, Hajime,

Leo, Momoko, Natsumi, Aya, and Fuko had their pictures taken. The other boys were envious as Hajime

was beside Momoko when their picture was taken. Hajime himself wasn't aware of this. The 6 friends went

back to their seats as the bus they are riding was less than halfway towards their destination.

During the trip, the students were chatting to themselves, while keeping an observing eye on the

G. A. S. gang, especially Hajime and Momoko, whom the two were chatting like they're close friends.

Indeed, The G. A. S. gang have became closer than before after meeting again at their high school ground

after two years of separation since Amanojako was laid to rest. They felt like they're inseparable friends. As

they passed a mountain, the students took pictures of what they can see: waterfalls, other mountains,

the ravines, even birds (A/N: I had real pictures of those I mentioned when, two years ago, my mom and I

went to New Zealand. It's not a joke. I really went there and took those pictures. And I'm basing all those I

mentioned in this chapter. If you don't believe me, that's ok. : ). I won't force you.). Even Leo, Hajime and

Momoko were mesmerized by the sight they just saw, and Leo was already recording it. They finally

arrived at their destination. It was a beauty to behold, with all the trees and wildlife around them. As they

stroll along the park, they come across the park's memorable landmarks, such as the waterfalls, the river,

the birds, monkeys and the like, at the same time their teachers were making lectures. As lunchtime arrived,

everyone choose a table to pack their lunch. The G. A. S. gang and Momoko's three friends chose a table

for themselves. They then ate their lunch as they chatted away. After lunch, they were allowed to have fun.

They did all the sorts, such as riding in canoes, swimming on the lake, bathing in the waterfalls and taking

pictures, and playing a little wrestling. Even Momoko joined in the fun. Momoko trapped Hajime in a

headlock, and he tried to get free, they slipped on the ground since the ground was slippery. Hajime shifted

his body so that he landed first while Momoko was on top of him, so that she won't get hurt. As they regain

their composure, Leo and the rest began making howling sounds, teasing them romantically. Both Hajime

and Momoko blushed at the same time but ignored the taunts. As the sun was setting in, it was time for the

field trip to come to an end. The students packed their things and went to their buses. It was already 7 pm

as the bus was cruising along the road. Some of the students, including Leo, were still awake, fiddling their

video cams. As Leo looked at his "gang-mates", he noticed that both Hajime and Momoko were sound

asleep, with Hajime leaning against his seat while Momoko's head was leaning against his shoulder, asleep

as well. Leo stared at them, wondering if they do make a good pair or not. Some of the students also

noticed this as well, as if they were on-lookers and Paparazzis. Even Momoko's three closest classmates

took a shot of them with their video cams, as they had a "wicked" idea of poking fun at them. The students

arrived home without any major incident, except that the "Momoko admirers" were staring daggers at

Hajime before leaving school. Hajime was wondering why while Leo 's reply was "I don't know", even

though Leo knows the answer. Even Momoko was puzzled by these revelations. Leo went on ahead,

leaving Hajime and Momoko behind. Hajime ask Momoko if he can escort her home and she obliges. As

the two friends walked by the street, a shadowy figure was seen behind the bushes, keeping an eye on

Momoko. Looking at her figure, as well as her beauty, an evil grin can be seen through the silhouette.

"You'll make a fine meal, my pretty lady…"

The following day, (Sunday), Hajime was having lunch when the phone was

ringing. Hajime answered the phone. It was Momoko. "Hajime turn on your TV, quick!",

was her reply, Hajime did so, and his eyes went wide opened at what he just saw. The

news shows a skeletal body of what appears to be a female high school student. What's

even more disturbing is that there are no signs of resistance, no blood stains, and still clad

in her school uniform. It was said that police discovered the body when the police noticed

several cats were roaming around what appears to be an abandoned house. The footage later showed more

disturbing scenes as the police discovered more skeletal bodies of female high school students, still dressed

in their uniforms, and no sign of struggles were found. The police admitted that they were facing a blank

wall. Hajime asked if Leo knows about it. Momoko replied with a yes because she said that it was Leo who

told her about the news. Hajime then told Momoko to meet Leo and instructed them to come to his house

while he will call Satsuki and Keiichirou and tell them to come at his home so they can discuss about what

they saw at the news flash. "I have a bad feeling about this." Hajime muttered (Clue: this paricular scene is

from a sleeper hit movie based from an unpublished novel by Stephen King. Its theme music was sung by

Irish singer Enya).

Stay Tuned for Chapter 3: A New Hunk on the Block

So what do you think? Again, please review. I won't mind the criticisms as long as it will help improve my

Ghosts at School fanfic. This is also my first time in making a fanfic. So please don't judge me too harshly.

Also, many thanks to Rhapsodizing Riyoko and akai ladycuteluck for guiding me on how to make a new

category on the anime section of Thanks for your reply you two! I will keep on reading and

supporting your future fan fics. And please update your fics soon! Also note, from Chapter 3 onwards, the

story gets a bit darker, as there will be blood, violence, and a bit of a rape attempt. So please be advised that

this will have an M rating.

For lemon lovers, be patient. I just got started. The lemon part will happen mid-way along the story.

Because this also a love story as well. There's no such thing as lemon without romance… 

Also, when sending in your reviews, try guessing the clues that I gave. Think of it as a little fun game. Or as a side trip, or…never mind. Good luck in guessing the clues! 
