Satoshi closed the door, a slight spring in his usual clumsy step. Yesterday had been one of the best days of his entire life, he finally had the courage to kiss Naomi, and even in a puplic place as well. Thankgoodness Yoshiki hadn't been watching, or he would of teased Satoshi silly, laughing at him and would mosy likely tell him he was proud of him 'growing up'. Naomi had actually mentioned she had spotted him and Ayumi snogging behind a tree after they broke away, but Satoshi didn't really care, since the moment had been theirs, and theirs alone. When he had got home, he had gone straight to his phone and social networks, still wanting to see more of his girlfriend, even if it was just online. Yuka had begged him to play with her, but she had shook her off, telling her he had some important stuff to do. Yuka would usually believe her big brother, but she had her doubts since he had spent all his time with at silly, big chested girl all day, and had completly ignored her. It made her feel slightly unwanted, even if she had the attention of her adoring parents...
Satoshi was oblivious of how she felt towards him, and that made Yuka even more upset. Maybe, he would notice her more if she grew up a little, matured even. Yes, Yuka had her mind fixed on it, she would become just like Naomi, mature and beautiful, instead of silly and clingy. That would defifinatly show Satoshi! She couldn't do that by herself though, she needed someone's help, and not just any one person. She crept into Satoshi's bright blue bedroom, coughing slightly, for Satoshi hadn't seemed to have noticed her presence. She skipped over to his bed, jumping on him and knocking his phone out of his hands to get his attention. Satoshi let out a slightly agitated grunt and pushed her of him, making her smile fade a little.
"Yuka! Did you have to jump on me?"
"Sorry." came her reply, without her usual pout or sad tone. Satoshi sat up, wondering if he had done anything to upset his little sister, but when he thought about it, nothing sprang to mind.
"What's up Yuka?"
"Yuka-chan wanted to as a question..."
"Another one?"
"Uh-huh."
"Alright, go ahead, I bet i was as curious when I was your age!"
"Do you...Do you think i'm a bit of a baby?"
"Huh?"
"Like, am I bratty and spoilt and do I get on your nerves all the time?"
Satoshi looked at her sister, who was avoiding eye contact and sheepishly staring the the blue duvet covers. She really was, but he didn't want to tell her up straight harshly.
"You do act a bit young for your age, and sometimes that gets a bit annoying."
"Oh..."
"But, listen Yuka, your my little sister, and that won't change. I will love you if your immature, or super grown up i don't think it matters. It all depends on, it just depends on...well, you!"
Yuka mulled over Satoshi's reply wondering what he'd say if she mentioned Naomi.
"You know Naomi-chan..." she started.
"Yeah..." he replied dreamily "Very well!"
"Would you like it if I were to look like her? Act like her? Be like Naomi-chan?"
"NO." shouted Satoshi abrubtly, making Yuka flinch slightly. "No, Yuka.
"Onii-chan..."
"No one can replace Naomi." he said softly "You must of guessed that she's my girlfriend by now, and that doesn't mean I don't still love you Yuka-chan! You don't have to act like her to be loved by me, i'll still always care for you, you know, your family."
Yuka felt her ears burn at that word, 'family'. She thought she was more than family.
"Thanks brother. I think I know what I want to do now."
Satoshi watched as she jumped off the bed, slowly turned around and left through the door. Yuka was a peculiar person, and not just him thought that. She will understand once she's older and has experienced these kind of thigs for herself, Satoshi reckoned in his head. With one last puzzled sight, Satoshi picked his phone back from the floor, and began to reply to the 10 text messages Naomi had sent him whilst he was with Yuka. Chuckling, he pressed send.
Ayumi was on her laptop again, opening up the browser like she had done so casually a few weeks ago. She had stayed the night at Yoshiki's, much to his delight, and had returned home to one of Hinoe's nosey conversations late in the morning. Ayumi had refused to tell her sister anything she had done at Yoshiki's last night, for it was her own personal buisness and Hinoe really didn't need to know. This particular comment had annoyed the usually placid Hinoe, but she hadn't pushed it any further in order to stay on the good side of her sister. Ayumi had instantly rushed to her room to 'shower and get changed' but had really just flopped on her bed with her laptop and started it up. Although the events last night with Yoshiki should of distracted her, she still couldn't stop thinking about the mysterious woman she had met yesterday. Ai Mikuni, was her name, she remembered. She had seemed like a perfectly normal mother, but when Tsukasa had mentioned the black, sparkly smoke, Ayumi was sure that Ai had something to do with magic or at least, was gifted of some sort. Ayumi knew that her and her sister were gifted themselves, and Hinoe often spoke of the witches time in the middle ages, where they performed black magic and were gifted with the spirits. Even now Ayumi was inturigued by the mysteries and stories Hinoe had spoke of, especially about the Book of Shadows, which was a code only readable by the gifted, containing all the information about magic and spirits. It was in all sorts of lanuages, mainly French and other european languages, but she was sure that it could be in Japan right now, since the Heavenly Host was and only accesible in Japan. First, she typed Ai's full name into the search bar, waiting a few moments for the browser to process. The results were mostly for social networking sites, like any young woman, but there was nothing that really caught her eye. She was starting to doubt her theory when on the seventh page, the spiritual websit from before came to to view. She clicked without thinking, and a 'members list' popped up. How was this even accesible via online, wouldn't they want to keep all the gifted people a secret? But not all of them could be gifted, Kou Kibiki wasn't, however that din't stop him from researching paranormal activities or spaces. She scanned past the 'ABC' list, not thinking it would go by first name, and ended up on the 'M' section.
"Makano...Mikaru...Mikuni!" she muttered under her breath, sounding slightly relived towards the end. Ai Mikuni. There it was! She clicked on the profile, which had little information and contact details to go on. It looked like this:
Ai Mikuni.
Aged 23
17/01
Japan.
Private message username: ai1.70.1
This wasn't really much, but it was definitly better than nothing. Ayumi scrolled past an advert and onto the 'written article' section. What had she written about?
*Edited: Book of Shadows
*Edited: History of the gifted
*Created: Magic spells
*Co-Created: The Shinozaki estate
The Shinozaki Estate? She had read about that on this website, and Ai had co-created it? That meant that she must know about it as well! Maybe that was the reason Ai had done a double stake at the mention of her name, Shinozaki, because she was in the bloodline! Desperate to know more, she dived to her phone and texted Satoshi, asking for Tsukasa's number. He hestiatantly sent it a few minutes later, wondering what on earth she'd want Tsu's number for. But his number wasn't the one she wanted, she needed to dig a bit deeper than that. Tapping out a bref but polite messgae to Tsukasa, she sighed, her head muddled with different thoughts and theories, making her want to shout in frustaion. Sure enough, a few minutes later, a ping came from her phone with a reply from Tsukasa Mikuni. Like Satoshi he had given the number without question, making Ayumi laugh out at how easy this was going to be. She was about to as whether he'd give the adress but didn't wantto freak out him so subsequently didn't. Smiling at her discovery, she lay flat on the bed, arms drooping of the side and legs bunched up tight. She was in perfect, utter silence, until Hinoe walked into the room with a bang.
"I've been watching you closely, and your growing up" she said, getting straight to the point, "It's time you learnt the truth, Ayumi-chan."
A/N: Ooh i'm being mean. Sorry for that suspended ending!
Warning: Small/insignificant spoilers (trying not to include them) for Mad Father
All of you followers/reviewers/readers who are corpse party fans (if your not, then why are you reading this o.O) I found another horror game with a great story! It's called Mad Father and it's quite like corpse party in some ways. It's based around a girl called Aya, whose mansion is under a curse and she has to escape it, but she wants to save her father in the process. The mystery revolves around her late mothers death and fathers strange prodjects, which take place in the basements underneath the rooms. She has to escape from Zombies, monsters and solve puzzles and stuff in order to find things and escape and stuff. Stuff. What's awesome is she goes round with these mini chainsaws! Yay...? It's free to download (I haven't played it myself) and their have been several let's plays by youtubers like PewDiePie and Cryotic, which is how I found it. It's got an absoloutely horrific twist at the end though (if you've seen the last part your just like 'Aww Dio that's so cute' then like "OMG NO O.o!")so it's worth checking out. I also think it's simalar to The Witches House and Ib (which i have seen the first parts of) but more or less yeah, go check it out.
Sorry for that long paragraph thingy. Another chapter coming yourway soon!
