Hi everyone! Quick author note here! I don't own anything corpse party!

This chapter is mainly a bit more (improvised) back ground info on Yoshiki and some of the other characters. I don't think this story will be particularly long, more like a longer one shot.

"Yoshiki, you so need to tell her," smirked Satoshi, glancing at Yoshiki from the corner of his eye. "You're always thinking about Shinozaki, aren't you?"

The two good friends were hanging out at Satoshi's house, after a casual day in town with the others, and Satoshi had invited Yoshiki over as they did that quite often. He had accepted gratefully, since he didn't have anything else to do, plus it meant he could see Satoshi's adorable but misfortunate sister, Yuka, who had been with them during Heavenly Host. He was fond of Yuka, and got on well with most of the Mochida family.

"What are you talking about!?" Yoshiki snapped, defensively, crossing his arms. Satoshi smirked again. He knew what was up in his friends mind, ever since Heavenly Host, or actually, a while before that disastrous event even took place..

"Don't lie," Satoshi said lightly "I know you like her!"

What Satoshi said as true. Ever since that run down with the gym teacher, he had seemed to develop a soft spot for the class rep, frequently sticking up for her and protecting her at any cost. He had even saved her life more than once. But he knew what of a big crush she had on Satoshi, and knew that he'd never be able to win her over as long as Satoshi was free and single.

"Its easy. Just admit you like her!"

Yoshiki sighed. Like he could really talk! Satoshi had had a huge crush on Naomi ever since middle school, he had told him himself when they had first become good friends.

"I tried to... but i cant pull up the courage!" he replied, staring at his feet as if they were the most interesting things at that moment..

"BIG BROTHER!" Yuka came running through the door, a huge smile plastered on her face. "Mum said teas ready..." she tugged Satoshi's sleeve, smiling at him cutely.

"Okay, okay...I'm coming!" Satoshi replied, struggling to break from Yuka's grasp. Yuka grinned again, before bidding farewell to a laughing Yoshiki.

"Guess its time for me to go." said Yoshiki, grabbing his jacket "You don't want to keep your...family waiting." he walked down the stairs and picked up his bag from the hallway. He had bought some new music for his guitar; playing it was his favorite hobby, apart from hanging out with Satoshi and his friends. Just before he was about to grab the door handle, Satoshi called from upstairs.

"See ya, Yosh!"

Yoshiki waved at his friend and closed the door quietlt. He only lived a few blocks away from Satoshi, but it was a poorer part of the town compared to the area Satoshi lived in. Lucky Satoshi lived in a spacious four bedroom house, with a large garden and enough room for his whole family of four to live in. Yoshiki lived in a small, two bedroom flat, but the second room was so cramped, he only practiced his guitar in there. He didn't get many visitors, only ever Satoshi or his younger sister, who would occasionally pay him a visit whenever she was in town. It was a lonely life, but he had learnt to be tough and deal with it, for complaining never got you anywhere in life.

He turned the brass key in the lock and walked in, sighing as the room looked as iscolated as ever...

*Strum strum* *Strum Strum STRUM*

It wasn't working tonight for Yoshiki. He reckoned he had a headache, but really it was from all his muddled thoughts that were trapped like bugs in spider webs in his head. He put down his guitar, frustrated, and left the room, slamming the door frustratedly behind him. Sighing, he slouched onto the couch, and turned on his TV. A random channel popped up and displayed the news at that hour, all depressing and boring which gave Yoshiki no comfort in any way possible. Nothing much else was on at that times so he just left it on the previous channel, since he wasn't bothered to get up and do anything else.

As the droning sound wore on, he wondered what Satoshi was doing, in his perfect household. It wasn't fair! How come Satoshi was born into a great family, had great friends, and everyone liked him? When we was born to parents who hated him, ditched him and from that everyone thought he was rough and a bully. Why? he didn't get it. Pushing the off button, he closed his tired eyes.

"Its not fair..." he mumbled, and fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.

Ms Yui laughed ominously, twiddling the home room book in her delicate hands. An accusing glare was set in hard lines on her usually calm face, making her look like she hated everything around her.

"Its all your fault, you silly girl!" she hissed, turning away with anger.

A ghostly pale seiko appeared next to her, her hair dishevelled and rope marks clinging to the skin of her thin neck.

"Why did you kill me?"

Morishige, blood covered cell phone clenched in his clammy palms flew out of no where, resting on the floor like he had just landed from somewhere up high.

"I hated that place. You loved it."

Mayu joined the group, blood all over her pretty face, her clothes turned to rags, and missing several vital limps, which made her look harshly zombie like.

"You wanted us to die didn't you?"

They all surrounded Ayumi, glaring at her with fiery eyes or hate and peril. Their elongated ghost arms stretched out to grab her, tugging at her torn clothes, scratching at her cold skin.

"Please...!" Ayumi begged, falling to her grazed knees "I didn't intend for any of this to happen! I hated that place! BELIEVE ME PLEASE!" Her whole body began freezing, she was hyperventilating, badly. She was about to give up on living, when she heard a familiar voice.

"Stop," it called. She could hear footsteps, and instantly, all the ice blue tranclucent ghosts fled, quicker than a single flash of light. It was her brown haired hero Satoshi, holding some sort of bag, but she couldn't tell what it was made of.

"Mo-Mochida!" she cried out, staggering to her feet. Here was her hero, Satoshi, coming to rescue her! After all she'd been through, she just knew he would save her!

"Shinozaki..." he said unemotionally, leaning over to her, his voice plain. "You...LIAR!" and with that he thrust the bag over her head, laughing manically as she struggled to breathe. It wasn't a paper bag to stop her hyperventilating as she had thought, it was a plastic bag, to suffocate her.

"PLEA...OP!STOP STOP STOP! MO...AAHHGHGHGHGH!"

Suddenly a bright flash of light filled her sight, making her head trob with the sudden change. She could her Satoshi's yell of annoyance as he a appeared to fight with something, which was loud and just as strong. Then it was quiet. Silence. The paper bag was lifted over from her head, thankfully she could breathe again! She didn't have the strength to turn to see who had helped her, or even thank them for doing such a outgoing deed. All she could do was gasp for air, dear air... Aiiiiiiiirrrrrrr.

"I never actually thanked you for what you did that day...for crying on my behalf... And...I swore to myself, as soon as I realized we were trapped here... ...that I'd protect you, no matter what happens. This must be a test...to see if I really meant that 'no matter what happens' part!"

Called a safe sounding and protective voice, soothing her sore ears as if it were a lulluby.

Where had she heard that before? Suddenly she heard rapid gunfire, blazing right by him. He turned and grinned at her, the same old smile as always.

"Shinozaki...I..
