Gakkou no Kaidan

I'm baa-aacckk! But a first, a few words from your fellow fanfic writer…

Note: First off, I said that I would tell you the answers to last chapter's clues, but I decided not to tell you

just yet so that if more fanfic readers (and ANIMAX viewers) happen to pass by this fic, they'll get a

chance to guess them. Maybe I'll post the answers in a week's time ('coz I'm still in the process of working

on the story. Probably this fic will end by chapter 15 or so on, then again you'll never know. Like I said,

I'm still working on the story, guys! 'Coz more chapters will be added. And if you read the summary on

Chapter 1, it says "three ghosts are after Hajime and Momoko". The 1st ghost is somewhere in this chapter,

meaning the other two ghosts are still in progress and their appearance will be seen in later chapters. Be

patient and soon you'll be meeting them in a not so good fashion. Just sit back and relax. ) Once more,

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. Upcoming chapters will still remain long. 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

(Hollywood), comics (either DC or Marvel), and Animes. These elements will seen from Chapter 1 and so

on. See if you can guess them. I'll provide the answers in the final chapter of this fic.

Third, the title of Chapter 3, The New Hunk on the Block will be moved to Chapter 4, because at the end of

Chapter 2, I stated that Hajime told Momoko to call Leo while he will call Satsuki and Keiichirou to have

an emergency meeting at his house when they saw the news flash on TV. Thus, I'm putting more

importance on this chapter. So gomenasai to all readers. Instead, the title for this chapter will be renamed

"Emergency Meeting".

And last but not the least, 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. If you want a

sample of a simple but good lemon fic, see Oh! My Goddess fics by Sean Gaffney (Proposal, Wedding,

Honeymoon) and Groove Adventure RAVE by Rave Masta (Steam, How Elie Got Her Groove On, Tease

Me). Despite their fics being lemon, they were done in good taste, as well as having a very good pivotal

plots. 

P. S.: Just because I'm putting a lemon on this fic doesn't mean I'm a pervert! That's why I rated this an M, not only because of the lemons but also the elements that I'm infusing in making this fic (like violence, blood, and maybe a little swearing. And don't forget the romance part. That's one of the reasons why I decided to write this fic.). Hey, I'm a responsible writer, and I intend to make quality fics without degrading them. Thanks!

Chapter 3: Emergency Meeting

An hour after Hajime and Momoko talked over the phone regarding the news they saw, Hajime,

Momoko, Leo, and Satsuki were discussing the issue in his room (Keiichirou was on a mall trip with his

dad, hence he wasn't in this meeting), displaying a disturbing look on their faces. Momoko explained to the

gang how she heard of the news (She was browsing some channels on her TV when she happened to see

"News Flash on TBS"). Leo on the other hand, browsed on his "cabinet" to see if there was any connection

regarding what they saw on TV before coming to Hajime's house in case it might have a clue, brought

some of his old newspapers that have published reports of missing persons. As they browsed on every

articles on each pages, they found out that the missing persons cases have taken place not only in their

community but also in other prefectures. And it also involves mostly high school girls. And its been

happening for over a year. After browsing all of Leo's old newspapers, including today's edition, and the

one they saw on the news flash, they concluded that over 80 high school girls went missing. Satsuki

became concerned that either she and Momoko, as well as her female schoolmates, would be potential

victims to this mysterious attacker. Hajime then came up with a question. "Why was the attacker targeting

only high school girls? And why the attacker "slurped" them instead of mutilating them?" Leo then came

up with a reply with a pose of Egon Spengler (clue: A 1980's movie, later adapted for a TV animated

series. Its theme is similar to that of Gakkou no Kaidan, except that it uses technological weapons to handle

ghosts), saying it's a work of a Sleepwalker. His three friends looked at him confusingly and curiously. "A

what!" His friends' replies were almost loud. "A Sleepwalker. It's a ghost that takes form of a person and

drains a victim of its life energies, and when the Sleepwalker absorbs a person's life energy, its life and

vitality will be doubled to the max! Think of it as, if Mario eats a mushroom, he gets stronger, If he eats a

magic flower, he gets fire power, you know." "Jeez, Leo, were talking about missing girls here, not video

games! And besides, How did you know it was a ghost who did this? All the ghosts we defeated were laid

to rest, as well as wandering spirits were sent to the afterlife. Even Amanojako was laid to rest as well."

Was Hajime's rebuttal. Leo brought out a book that looks like a suspense novel. "Well it happened in this

story. Who knows, it could happen in real life…" Leo was cut off by Hajime's headlock, only to be stopped

by Satsuki. "Come on, guys, lets get serious, okay? We don't know when this attacker would strike next.

And were not sure if this was a work a ghost. Remember, when Amanojako was laid to rest, my mom's

diaries went blank. Here, look at this, it still a blank." Says Satsuki as she brought out her "Ghost Diary",

and its pages were indeed blank, just like two years ago. Momoko stood up, looking at the articles of the

newspaper. Then recalling what she saw on the news flash, as well as recalling today's discussion. She then

came up with a reply. "We don't know for sure if this was a work of a ghost. We have no proof. And if it is

a ghost who is responsible for all this, why does it have to drain the life essence of its victims? Ghosts only

possess people, not absorbs them." Looking the Hajime's wall clock, she realized that it was 5:45 pm. They

have been discussing for almost five hours straight. And looking at the window, the sky was half-blue and

half-red, indicating that sunset was about to commence. The gang decided to meet again next week to

further discuss their topic. Momoko also suggested that they watch tonight's news for the full report of the

police's investigation on the missing girls and the discovery of their bodies. The gang also shuddered

mentally as they realized that all their female schoolmates would be either panic or get paranoid since they

will also be watching the news as well. Leo and Momoko left Hajime's house after this, with Leo escorting

Momoko home. Hajime and Satsuki were the only ones left in his room, still discussing today's topic. "I

wonder, Hajime, if Amanojako knows about this." Satsuki said, breaking the silence. "Unlikely, since all

the ghosts were laid to rest, as well as the seal in the old school building was restored." Hajime replied,

then added, "The best we can do for now is to be careful. And Suki, ask your dad or your schoolmates to

escort you and Keiichirou home since you and Keiichirou travel alone." Satsuki nodded and went home. As

the 8'o clock news was aired, the G. A. S. gang, as well as everyone else, watched the news about the

discovery of the female high school students' bodies inside abandoned houses. According to reports, the

autopsies used by the police investigating the case concluded that the decomposing bodies bore no signs of

stab wounds or signs of struggle. There was also no signs of poisons inside they body. They concluded that

they suffocated inside the sealed rooms because there was no ventilation in the rooms. Then the newscaster

received a note from a news anchor who approached him. The newscaster then grimly read the note and

said that another set of bodies were discovered inside an abandoned house in Odaiba (clue: This is were

most of the chosen children reside. There were two batches at least.), all decomposing and still clad in their

school uniforms. And then said the number of bodies they discovered were about 40 of them, all stock-

piled inside a sealed room. Viewers were in a state of shock as they finished watching the news, clutching

to their daughters and nieces, fearing that they may be the next victims.

Heh, kind of a one, long paragraph, huh? Anyway, please review. And keep your eyes wide open. The

"clues" are somewhere in this fic. Try guessing them. 

Stat tuned for Chapter 4, as a new character will in school, and possibly surveying his potential victim…
