Natsuki: "great, i get to team up with an old geezer..."
"Hey, i'm not that old, yet, but is either me or them."
"Why you got to talk to me in the first place?"
"I don't know, maybe something lure me to you."
"Ah, that doesn't sound right at all."
"Right, you're right that didn't sound right at all..."
"Ah, lets just go then."
"Where we going?"
"Well we need to leave school premise so i got to go home."
"Oh. Well shit, i don't know where i'm going to stay."
"Well is not my problem."
"Wow, very concern are you?"
"What? You're old, you have money, so go buy a house or something."
"But i don't have money, and i don't know where we at."
"Well we in a school."
"That's not what i meant, i mean where the location are we?"
"How the heck should I know."
"Do you always act this way around people?"
"No, i just, don't want a partner."
"Ahh, i see, well tell me partner, what are we doing anyway?"
"Don't you ever call me that: and secondly, we are going to make cupcakes."
"Cupcakes huh? Sound like fun."
"Yeah, it is. By the way, have you ever made cupcakes before?"
"Yeah, with my daughter."
"You have a daughter?"
"Yeah, i have a family."
"Huh. Well why are you here and not with your daughter?"
"She's with watchful eye, she in good hand."
"Oh, okay then..."
There was a awkward silence between us for a while until natsuki speak up.
"Soo, know where you going to stay?"
"Maybe i can stay in school and sleep here."
"Well you could, but that would be uncomfortable."
"Then is settled then, i'm staying here then."
"Heh, if you say so...oh also we're going to do baking here in the school so i don't need to bring you home with me."
"Why's that?"
"Because my dad would freak if I bring a boy home with me, including an adult."
"Huh, the strict but overly protected type huh? I can see that, but if my daughter ever bring a boy home he better be a respectful person who will treat her right."
Natsuki stare at him in almost intrigued, as they reach the exit as natsuki said.
"Well, i guess i see you tomorrow then."
"Yeah, i'll see you tomorrow natsuki, safe travel."
"Thanks..."
With that natsuki left as i see the others leave, i was alone by myself in the school.
I went into rooms after room to see if i can find a place to sleep.
I ended up staying in a janitor closet since their were already a bed in there. I lay in bed and drifted off to sleep.
I woke up and stretch myself out and got of bed, i went down the hallway and notice is daytime outside, i wonder when she going to come over.
I waited at the one of the exit door and waited, i wait for an hour as i saw someone coming, it was natsuki, she was wearing a white shirt with a pink ruffle skirt.
I was rather surprise that she wear something like this as she was carrying some stuff for the baking part.
I open the door and she came in.
"Hey, need help?"
"I got it."
She doesn't look convinced as she nearly drop one of the bags as i ask again.
"Are you sure? You don't look like you can carry it anymore."
"I told you i-ahhh!"
She fell over as some of the stuff fell out of the bag, i went and help with the stuff and check if she's okay.
Natsuki: "ah, damnit!"
Sebastian: "are you okay?"
"Yes, i'm fine."
She said upset as i help pick up the stuff off the ground and put in the bag.
"I told you you needed help, but you didn't listen."
"Just, shut up and help with this."
"Yeah i'm on it."
Is kinda weird to have to take orders from an 18 year old but is alright i guess.
We pick up all the equipment and this time i'm carrying a bag, we march on as i ask a question.
"Did you carry all of this by youself?"
"Yeah, i not some weakling who can't carry a couple of bags.
"Yeah but these are rather heavy, were your arms tired of carrying all of this from one place to another?
"Yeah but i mangage."
"You must be pretty strong to carry this from who know how far."
"It only a mile away from my house from here. So i ran down here and got exhausted for a while and took breaks.
"Jeez it took you that long? If we have anyway to communicate i would have run down to help you out."
"Yeah, too bad you don't have a phone with you."
"Yeah..."
We made it to the cafeteria as we went to the kitchen and put the stuff down and get the ingredients we need.
Natsuki: "all right! We got all the ingredients here!
Sebastian: "great, save us time from going to the grocery store."
He said jokely as they begin setting up the ingredients, she start putting stuff into the bowl and start giving orders to sebastian as he do what she said.
Natsuki: "alright, how the stirring going?"
"Pretty good."
She check it as she wasn't please.
"No move aside. You gotta breat it hard!"
"Hm, i guess i'm a little rusty."
"How long since you bake cupcakes?"
"Damn, must been too long."
"Well no wonder, the batter isn't even done yet."
"Yeah, sorry about that."
"Don't apologize just try a little harder next time."
"Got it... you're pretty good at this, what made you want to bake?"
"Umm, so i can be independent duh."
"Hm, i see, do you dad know you bake?"
There was silence for a moment as she said.
"Yeah. He's pretty proud of me, i guess..."
"Hm, well how about your mom? Does she know?"
"...n-no. She...she's..."
"Oh. I'm sorry, i-i didn't know."
"Just, please stop asking questions."
Afterward we continue baking as we were soon done with the batter, we put the batter into individual cupcake tray and put it in the oven.
"Alright we set it for 35 minutes and we wait..."
"Soo, what do you want to do in the meantime?"
"I don't know, i'm usually at home when I bake, never with a stranger."
"Ah, i see. Well maybe we could have a conversation for a while, do you think we can do that?"
She look at me for a while until natsuki speak up.
"I guess, just not personal question okay?"
"Fine, uhh, how you feeling?"
"Good...you?"
"Doing good as well, thank you."
There was a awkward silence between us as i decided to talk about myself.
"Well do you want to know a little bit about me?"
"Sure i guess."
"Well to tell you about my daughter, her name is emily, she a nice girl who seem to not have trouble making friends. Do you have any other friends beside the one in the literature club?"
"That's a bit of a personal question."
"Oh, sorry, i thought i tell you something personal and you will share one with me."
"Well is not going to work, not on me though...what do you do for a living?"
Ah i'm a detective to be frank."
"Really? Wow, i didn't know. You must caugh a lot of bad guys in your time."
"Hehehe, yeah i have. I'm going to presume that i can't hear what your dad do for a living?"
"No."
"Figures... my wife was a detective too, she no longer with us though."
"Oh. I'm sorry, i didn't know either."
"Is okay, you didn't have a clue either, i guess were both motherless."
"Well technically your wife pass away so yeah, unless your mom pass away too."
"Yeah she's gone too... sorry if i'm making this uncomfortable for you."
"No it's fine, i'm used to this sometimes...have you ever been shot before?"
"Yeah, countless of times, but now it been less now.
"Oh, okay...how was baking with your daughter?"
"It was fun, she was having a good time. Heh, the cupcakes turn out bad but it was worth it to see her smile."
"Heh, it must be if it were you too."
She said jokely. There was the awkward silence between us again as 10 minutes have pass as natsuki said.
"Man, these cupcakes take forever, and there nothing to do here."
"Well i guess talking get a little tiresome, but there ain't nothing here to do. So what do we do in the meantime?"
"i don't know? Maybe we can find something to-ugh."
"Natsuki? What's the matter?"
"I'm so hungry, there were nothing to eat at my home."
"What? Did you dad at least buy sone grocery?"
"No, he didn't, never gave me anything to eat."
"What?!"
She ran to the fridge to find anything to eat, she found a apple and start eating it fast.
"Slow down, you might choke."
She chew on her food as she shallow it down she breathe heavily as she continued to eat until she finish it.
"Natsuki, you might as well tell me why your dad doesn't feed you."
She look at me with discontent as she said.
"I, i can't tell you."
"What? But you were starving, why you can't tell me?"
"I, i just can't."
"Why? Is it because your- does your dad ever hurt you?"
She look at me with Furiously and yell.
"No!"
"...i'm-i'm sorry, i went too personal did i?"
"Yes you did..."
I went over to her and bend on one knee and said.
"Listen, you don't need to tell me that's fine, but you have to know i care for you okay?"
"Okay...why you being like this? I don't know you, so why you treating me like this?"
"I'm just treating you like you be treated as, and beside, is kinda my job to care."
I smirk at the end, as natsuki was quiet for a bit, she said.
"Thanks, no one ever been that nice to me before. They usually treat me like i'm some stupid kid or something."
"Heh, you're not some stupid kid, your special you bake all by yourself and your pretty independent."
"Thanks..."
We stood there for a while until natsuki face lifted up.
"*gasp* i know what we can do to pass the time!"
"You do?"
"Yes, let me get it."
She ran to a bag and went and pull something out, it was a manga of some sort. She hide it behind her back and said.
"Please don't laugh but, i read manga..."
"Really? You do? Well i'm glad you telling me something personal."
"Hehe, i'm glad you didn't make fun of me, but still, wanna read it?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Is called parfait girls."
"Hmm, interesting, did you read it before?"
"Well duh, otherwise i wouldn't pick this one out. Say, have you ever read a manga before?"
"No, i hadn't."
"Figures...well i'm glad i'm getting you into manga for the first time."
"Yeah, i usually read with my daughter too when she was younger."
She sat down at front of the fridge and pat down right next to her for me to sit down.
"Huh? Will chairs be more acceptable?
I said sitting right next to her.
"Can't, wouldn't work, i wouldn't get to read with you being away from me."
"Ah, well those cafeteria table are wide enough for us to sit together to read."
"Ehh, they are uncomfortable."
"Really? Well if you say insist."
She handle me the manga and i flip though the first page.
"so, what this manga about?"
"Is a slice a life afair with magical element throw in the mix. Is a good manga that i would recommend to new comers."
"Really? Well okay."
I started reading as i look at natsuki who was reading with me as i was enjoying the book the oven with off.
Natsuki "Oh, the cupcakes are done."
She stand up as i put the book down and went to her as she pull out the cupcakes tray, i can already smell the cupcakes as she put it on the stove as she said.
"Ahh, another successful cupcakes."
"Yeah, they smell good. Are we going to put the icing on?"
"Not yet, we need to bake one more batch of cupcakes."
"Alright, then, you're the boss."
We make another batch as it was much faster this time, we got finish as we continue reading the book.
I finish reading the book and look at natsuki who was asleep, i was suprise to see her asleep as i said.
"Uhh, natsuki? Natsuki?"
I gently tap her shoulder as she fell on me.
"N-natsuki, wake up."
Then suddenly natsuki eyes were black as her mouth was also black, it freak me out as i push her off of me. I couldn't believe what i saw as she fell over and hit her head on the ground.
"Oof, ouch my head, what happened?"
"You fell asleep and fell over, are you alright?"
"Jeez i fell asleep? I don't remind that. Why didn't you try to wake me up?"
"You're a heavy sleeper so waking you up isn't easy."
"Oh, i see. Are the cupcakes done?"
"No, i just finish the manga and i enjoy it. Is a damn shame there isn't anything else to do."
"Yeah, well i could try and see if the literature club is open."
"Maybe, but it could be close, are you sure?"
"Well yeah, do you wanna come?"
"But who gonna take out the cupcakes when is done?"
"Fine, you stay while i go and see if it's open."
Aw great, she going alone, i don't like this.
She been gone for 4 minutes now, so i'm getting a little worried now
The oven turn on as i took the cupcakes out and immediately left the kitchen and ran off to find natsuki.
I went up the second floor and saw natsuki from a far, she have her back turn on me as i approach her as i felt a wave of energy flew through me.
It made me tipsy for a second as i continue down the hallway and ask.
"Natsuki? Are you alright?"
"...Sebastian. What do you think of me?"
"What?"
"Do you think of me as a child? Or a person?"
"I think of you as a friend."
"Really now? Since were friends, do you wanna play?"
"What? But we got the cupcakes to finish."
"Everyday i'm alone with my dad, he doesn't love me like he used to. Now he just let me starve or even beats me."
"What? He beat you?"
"Everyday is hard, no one likes me, they all think of me as some weeb or just a child, they step all over me without a care in the world. Until you come alone and bring me happiness."
"Natsuki, i didn't know."
"So sebastian, i'm gonna tell you again, do you wanna-"
She twist her head in a 180 spin as castallanos can hear her neck snap.
"Plaaaaayy?"
Sebastian was terrified to see what happened, her eyes were missing as she have an insane smile on her face as she ran fast after castallanos get her off.
He toss and turn and manage to get her off as he stare at her as she sit up ward staring at him with no eyes.
Sebastian didn't know what to do in this situation as she stand up and move crookely as he have no choice but to pull out his gun and point it at her.
"Natsuki! If you can still hear me stop!"
It didn't listen as it charge at him as he fire at it stoping it in the process.
He fire again as he shot it two time as it drop on the ground bleeding, it toss and turn until it stop moving.
He stare at it in disbelief as he fell on his knees.
"Natsuki...i'm sorry."
But he didn't mourn for long as he notice the world started to change for the worst, it was like when he was in other people worlds as it change into the other world.
The place started to distort as the lockers bend and started to grow vines as the walls became dirty and rusty, the same goes for the floor.
He got up and look around and realized where he is, he in someone world.
"Oh no, where am i?"
He notice that natsuki body disappear as he look around and see that the world change, he walk down the hallway and now wonder what to do.
"Help! Someone help me!"
"Huh? Is that natsuki?"
He ran down the hallway and keep hearing natsuki voice. It got louder as he went to a door and open it.
He experience many things in his life that he hates but this is just one of them.
He open the door expecting the worst as he saw a classroom, he notice one table that was different. He approach it and suddenly a ghost appear as it were many of them as they all yelling out.
"Anime trash! Anime trash!"
They all pointed at one girl and it was natsuki, she was overwhelmed by it as tears coming out. Sebastian was sad to see this, did this happen before? He didn't know as they all disappear as he look at the table and see that it was a key, the key said: "my room."
He put it in his pocket and look around the room for anything, he found one mag as he put it in his side as it vanish, it does that as he exit the room he look left to right to see if there anything there and found nothing, he went downstairs since the upstairs were block off by a gate.
He look around trying to find the door for the key but most of them didn't fit, so he need to find a perceive door as he enter unlock doors but most of them lead to nothing or ammo.
He explored the first floor as he enter one of the doors that lead to the cafeteria, the place look abandoned and wreck with plants growing and everything.
He walk down the ally as he heard noises coming from the kitchen as he see a familiar sight, it was natsuki who was on her knees in front of the fridge as she was crawling inside of it as he approach her and said
"Natsuki? Is that you?"
She didn't respond in fact she still digging through the fridge as he approach her as she found something in the fridge as she ate it, Sebastian was confused as he approach her he was going to touch her until she turn around fast and look at with craze in her eyes.
She was cover in blood as her eyes pupil were red as she stare at him.
Sebastian didn't know what to do in this situation as he said.
"Natsuki, is that really you?"
"Food, i want. Food."
She stand up as she approach him slowly as Sebastian didn't like where this going. He pull out his gun and walk backward as her stomach started to growl.
"I'm so hungry. Please, feed me!"
She scream as she charge at him and jump right on to him, she bite into his neck as he yell in pain, he attempt to get her off as he struggle a bit as she pull to rip his neck off as he mangage to get her off.
She fell on the floor as he point his gun at her as she slowly get up, sebastian said: "natsuki! Please don't let me do this!"
She charge at him again as he shot her in the head instantly killing her.
Sebastian look at her in grief as he said: "not again..."
He search around the kitchen and found a mag which make 3 left as he went back to the kitchen and see that natsuki disappeared again.
"Now where the hell she go?"
Sebastian didn't know where to go as he exit the cafeteria and was immediately attack by another monster, but with more of them.
"Shit!"
He look at his opponent and saw it was natsuki again but her neck was crooked and bend and her eyes were black.
He start shooting at them as he killed two of them but one of them did something unexpecting, she hold her stomach in pain as it bulge up and then It rip apart as it show is mouth, as he was taken aback by it but didn't hold back and start shooting again killing everyone of them.
He use up a mag which make 2 left as he continue down the hallway and saw a new place to go, he went down the hallway and heard screaming as he look in different directions he saw a door lit up near the end of the hall.
He ran down the hallway and hope he making process as he was in front of the door and heard cries of help as he use the key and it open up.
What he saw surprise him, he saw a ghostly figure of a man hitting natsuki who was cowering in front of her bed.
"What the hell..."
"This is what happen when you disobey me!"
"Please, stop! Ouch!"
"You little bitch! I tell you what to do and what to say, alright?! You mom is not here anymore so don't think you will get any help soon."
"Dad, please stop! I'll listen alright! Just please stop!"
A knock on the door can be heard as he said: "what the hell? You be quiet, i'll be right back."
What castellanos notice that natsuki wasn't a ghost, he approach her as she coward in fear as sebastian got on one knee and said.
"Is alright, is me, sebastian."
"S-s-s-sebastian? W-what are you doing here? Get out of here before he see you!"
"I'm not going nowhere, i'm here to help you."
"Help me? How? What can you do to stop my dad?"
"I don't know, but that's not your dad, that just a figment of your dad, not the real one."
"That IS my dad, the way he act and what he does is real, i'm not making this up."
"Hey! Who are you talking too?!"
"Oh no, hide!"
Sebastian stand up and look around the room for anywhere to hide, he saw a closet and decide to hide there.
He was inside the closet and waited for her dad to come back, the door open as he can see through the door crack as the dad said.
"Who were you talking to?!"
"N-no one."
"Who were you talking to!?"
"No one!"
"I know when you're lying, so don't lie to me."
"I'm not okay? Just leave me alone."
"Oh where not done yet young lady, not yet, you still need to be punished."
Then suddenly the man change from a ghost to a monster as he went and grab natsuki and went out of the room.
"No! Let me go dad!"
"Come here!"
"Noooooo!"
The door slam as they were gone, sebastian got out of the closet and felt worthless for not doing anything, he look around the room for anything but found nothing.
He exit out of the room and saw what outside her room, it was dark as he look at the floor (if you call it that)
It was a gate floor as heWalk on it and he have his light turn on as he look around for anything.
He followed a straight path down the gate floor and only see what's in front of him, he saw something fast as it was shining through his light.
He have his gun ready as he search around the place but only see the floor and darkness.
But when he least expect it, he heard a yell that wasn't human, it ram right into him as he look around and saw the monster that attack him.
It was a flying monster that have rather large wings as it was like bat like creature as it yell out sending more to come.
"Aw shit."
More came as he fire at them as he did miss some he did mangage to kill some of them bat creatures things.
He decided to run since more was coming as he ran down the path he saw some images of natsuki and her dad having a good time and a woman too.
He didn't have time to site see as he ran down the path he saw a door and ran to it as he was in the school again.
He close the door and breathe heavily as he look back to see that the school remain the same, he look around and saw that the place were worst then before as he walk down the hallway and wonder what to do next.
He check room after room for anything but he only found two magazine as he now have 4 left, he process through the school as he encounter more of natsuki clones as he listen to them: soo hungry."
Sebastian: "is more of them. Gotta avoid them."
He sneak right behind one of them and he pull out his knife and stab one of them as he kill it, he did the same with the others as they were soon none left.
He went into a room and saw something that was useful, it was a mp5, he pick it up and check if it was loaded, it was as he also have one smg mag so he keep it and look at the collapse second floor room as he climb it.
He was on the second floor and was in a dark room as his light turn on as he look around the room but saw nothing of use.
He exit the room and was in a new area that he didn't explore.
"What am i doing here?"
"Help! Help!"
"Shut up!"
He hear the two as he ran down the hallway and was ambush by new enemies, they were humanoid figure that was mostly made out of flesh and muscle.
Another one was the natsuki clones as he pull out his mp5 and start firing at the monsters.
The big beefy monster was going to attack castellanos but was fill with bullets.
More attempt to get him as they were also shot, he killed most of the natsuki clones before they could attack, but one of the beefy monster mangage to hit him which send him flying to a wall.
"Shit."
He got out of the wall and start shooting again.
He reloaded at a bad time as the beefy monster was going to attack him, he dodge it before it could smash him.
He reloaded and start firing again killing the beefy monster, he change to his pistol and start firing at the monsters.
Soon they were all dead as he reloaded at least two time which make two more magazine left.
He ran down the hallway and up the stairs to get natsuki as he have to go through a room because a blockage was in the way.
He enter a classroom and see that big vines are blocking the way as he maneuver through the vines as he made it out of it.
He was in the hallway as he see more monsters walking around the hallway as he would like to avoid a fight as he went into a room and see some ammo for his pistol.
He now have 3 magazine as he continue in the classroom as all the other classroom connect together in one line as he made it to the end of the hall.
He peek through the door and see the monsters from a far, he open the door and sneak his way to the staircase until he ran right into a monster.
This monster was a short one whit a big hunchback and that's basically his face as it indeed wear clothes only pants, he didn't wear a shirt, Sebastian was caught.
He ran around it as it scream so loud that every monster heard it, he ran upstair as it was chasing after him, he look back and saw it glow red as started making bleeping sounds.
He ran as fast as he can as he trip on the stair as he look back as it was right behind him.
Sebastian kick it as it fell and then it exploded killing most of the monsters.
He got up and ran off to hide, he went into a room as he look at a locker and hide in it.
He waited for them to leave as they ran out as he got out something fell out of the locker, it was a shotgun, plus some shells only 10 though.
He loaded the shotgun as he was ready for them but he put it away for now as he exit the room he saw some monsters hanging around as he stealth attack them and figure out where to go.
"Help! Help!"
"I said be quite!"
"Natsuki."
He ran down the hallway and follow the scream as he went down the hallway and took a path that isn't part of the school, he ran down the way and went pass some doors as he decided to investigate a little.
He found a syringe and a magazine which make 3 left, in another room he found a syringe which make 2.
He exit the room and continued following the screams as he went down a set of halls as he no longer in the school, he know he will save natsuki.
He saw a door at the end of hall as he ran right into it and saw a big room for enough room to walk around.
He saw the man who was struggling with natsuki who was fighting back.
"Come on you little shit let's go."
"No, let go me!"
Sebastian decided to intervene and said: "let her go!"
He said pointing his gun at him, the man stop and slowly turn around and see sebastian standing there.
"What the hell? Who the hell are you?"
"I'm here for the girl, so let her go!"
"Ha, like i'm gonna let her go, i knew you have someone in your room, you fuckin' liar."
"I said let her go!"
"Why should I? She my property, i own her!"
"She is her own person, so let her go!"
"And who the hell make you the right to tell me what to do?"
"Well i'm holding a gun, so do as i say and let her go."
He look at him as natsuki was struggling still as he approach him dragging natsuki on the ground.
"You can go to hell."
Sebastian have enough of this as he fire at him as it went right through him.
"What the?"
"Oh you gonna get it now."
He let go of natsuki as he ran at him, sebastian was shooting at him until he ran out of bullets.
The man hit the gun out of his hand as he punch sebastian in the face, he retaliate as they got into a fist fight.
Sebastian punch him in the face while he attempt to punch him but sebastian dodge all of his punches.
The man try to punch him in the face but sebastian dodge it and did a gut punch knocking the wind out of him, he then right hook his face making him fall.
The man got back up and did an uppercut to sebastian as he took the hit, which stun him as the man start going at him.
Sebastian dodge the last hit as he kick him as the man hold his gut in pain as sebastian then knee him and punch him.
The man have enough of this as he ran right into sebastian as he fell down as the man got on top of him, he started to punch him left to right as Sebastian grab both of his fist, he attempt to get him off as he throw his fist away and punch him as he grab him pull him in and roll onto him and did the same thing.
The man grab sebastian and headbutted him as he throw him off, they got back up and waited for one of them to throw the first punch, the man throw the first punch as sebastian kick him as he then right hook him and kick him in his face knocking hin down.
Sebastian breathe heavily as he look at the man who was on the ground in pain, Sebastian then pull out his knife ready to finish this until natsuki intervene.
"Nooo! Don't kill my dad!"
"What? You dad abuse you, why you still defending him?"
"Because he still my dad!"
Sebastian was at a stand-still, he didn't know what to do, the man spoke up and said.
"Natsuki, you always been weak, ever since your mom died you been weaker. I wish i never have you!"
Sebastian have enough of this as he was going to stab him until natsuki stop him.
"Noo! Please don't! I know he is an asshole but he still my dad! He's the only one i have left!"
Sebastian was surprise to hear that.
"What? What do you mean he is the only one you have left?"
"i don't have anyone to take care of me!"
"What?! Do you at least have any siblings?"
"I do but they live far away from me, i don't want to leave this town, i'll have to start a new life in a new school, And leave my friends behind! I don't want that! Just please don't kill my dad!"
Sebastian was stump, he back away as the man try to get back up, sebastian sigh as he cuss under his breath and the man look at them.
"Hey, what your name?"
"...Sebastian castellanos."
"Well sebastian, this isn't the last time, not by a long shot!"
Then suddenly the lights turn off as natsuki scream as sebastian heard noise as the light turn on, they were gone.
"Shit! Where they go?"
Sebastian look around as suddenly they were monsters coming out of the doors as they were natsuki clones and one suicider.
Sebastian ran to get his gun as he avoid being hit from the monsters as he grab his pistol and reloaded.
He fire at them as the suicider was started to beep red as he charge at him as he fire at it but run out of ammo.
The monster attempt to grab him but he roll out of the way and pull out his shotgun and fire at it.
The monster died as he focus on the natsuki clones as he shoot them, he took them out one by one as most of them died.
The shotgun hold 8 shots and some more were coming out as he reloaded his shotgun and avoid any monster that try to hurt him.
He reloaded as he now have 2 shells left as he continue to kill all of the monsters that was coming out.
He kill the last one and reloaded his shotgun and put it away as he reloaded his pistol and continue to find natsuki.
He exit the room and walk down the hallway and wonder where they go, he look at some room and found ammo for his pistol and his mp5, he exit the room and continue on to find natsuki.
He went to a door and see that he was now outside, he look around hoping that they were outside as well as he continue on to see where they could be at.
He ran through a rotten trees of cherry blossom as some collapse on the ground, he bypass them and continue down the way.
He encounter some natsuki clones as he sneak his way through them as he did he found some ammo on his way such as shotgun shells, 10 to be precise.
After stealth killing some clones he made it to the streets, he look around to find anything to be of use, he been through this situation before so he know what he's doing, at least.
He check through trashcans and found nothing, he check through boxes and found some pistol ammo which make five mag.
He even check through buildings but found nothing, he went around the block for anything but he only found two magazine.
He decided to continue on his search for natsuki who was still out there as he continue on the streets as a ghostly figure appear at the corner of his eye.
He follow it until a flashback appear.
"Natsuki: "What? Dad i told you i'm going to a friend house."
The man: "now you listen here, i'm your father and what i say go."
"But dad it won't be that long."
"Are you refusing me!?"
"What? No dad is just-"
"Then come home! You're late anyway so you will be punish anyway."
"What?! No dad!"
"End of discussion! Now get moving!"
They disappear as he look around and see that they were gone, he comment on the situation: "well her dad is sure is something else."
He continue down the road as he was leaving town and start getting to the suburb area, he saw some more of natsuki clones such as the neck broken ones and the stomach mouth ones.
He try to stealth his way through them but some way were block, he have to kill them as he stealth attack them and continue down the streets to find natsuki.
He check his surrounding to see if he have company but surprisingly he doesn't, he check houses after houses but none of them open, he Explored the neighborhood to see if he found them but nothing.
Out of the blue he saw a van that was open, he went and check it and found an assault rifle an m16a2.
He check if it was loaded and it was he further check the van but only found one m16 mag as he leave the van and continued to find natsuki.
His vision became blurry because of the fog that was coming in, he heard noises and talking as he was now on his toes as he casually move about in the fog.
He crouch down to avoid any unwelcome attention, as he does this he unfortunately ran into a natsuki clone as he pull out his handgun and start firing, more were coming.
He ran off but ran right into a clone as he fell on her he shot it in the head as he flip himself around and start firing at them, he got up and continue before more comes.
He ran until he feel safe as he look around for any monsters but saw none, suddenly a cold air and a ghostly figure ran right through him as he look back and saw it go north side.
He ran after it but have trouble keeping track of it as he saw it disappeared again, he saw another flash back as he saw natsuki who was walking home, she look lonely as another ghostly figure appear as it was a girl and another right behind her.
Girl 1: "hey natsuki, how you doing?"
"Natsuki: "huh? Who are you?"
Girl 1: "oh we were just passing along until we saw you and though 'hey, let's talk to her'."
Girl 2: "yeah, haha."
Girl 1: "say, wanna be friends?"
Natsuki: "what? Why do i wanna be friends with you? I saw you girls making fun of yuri once, and that was real low."
Girl 1: "oh you know yuri?"
Girl 2: "yeah, i think she is in the literature club."
Girl 1: "oh now i see, you probably friends with her, well guess what? No matter who your friends are they will always be loser."
Girl 2: "yeah."
Natsuki: "whatever, i don't need your crap."
Girl 1: "hey! Don't walk away from us!"
Girl 2: "yeah."
Then they suddenly turn into a monster as the first one said.
"Come on, let's kill her."
Sebastian: "not on my watch."
He pull out his m16 and fire at them killing both of them as he see that he now have a lead.
He ran down the sidewalk and hope he is in the right path, as he see a road blockage as he need to do a detour through the neighbor backyard.
He ran down the alleyway and jump over a fence as he look around and see some enemies, he went into stealth mode and sneak attack them, one by one they all die as he continue.
He enter the house and found some ammo for his mp5 and m16 which make 2 for each.
He look around and found nothing else as he continue on in the neighborhood as he see some suicider as he sneak his way around them, he made it and process through the houses.
Sebastian was in a house as he see what happen in the school happen in here as he continue in the house and been surprise by a monster that came out of a room and attack him.
He throw it off before it could damage him as he have two options: one, fire at him or two, run away.
He took the higher route and ran down the hallway and maneuver through the hallways as he have ran longer then he should as he see a open door and close the door and lock it.
He did all that to save ammo, next time he be saving his skin, he look in the room and see that he was in a empty room as his only way out was up the window.
He climb in the window and what he saw outside surprise him, the world look like it was falling apart as he see the two of them from the bottom.
He look at his surrounding to see that a storm was coming, the wind was blowing and from the bottom look like a pit.
He have to jump through platform of the road and the ground as he have some monsters on some platform, there were also ammo down there.
He grab some ammo as he have pistol mag which make 6 and a syringe that makes 3 and a mp5 mag which make 3.
He kill some monsters as he was at the bottom right where it started to rain.
Sebastian was pretty tired of this trip but determine to save natsuki, he enter the house as he look around the place and see that it was old dingy and there were bars on the windowsills.
The entrance have a prison cell gate in the way but the gate was open, he enter and look around the room for anything but found nothing.
Sebastian heard screaming as he look around to figure it out where it coming from, he try some doors on his left but it was lock, the stairs was block off by a prisoncell gate as he need to find a way to get inside, he went to the right side and open the door and see a torture chamber with torture devices, as he look at the sickling scene he continued in the room and took a staircase upward in the room as he went up a spiral staircase and enter a room lit with touches.
It was a empty room as he see a door near the end of the room he went and open it and saw what inside the room, it was a bedroom and he heard snoring so he decided to be quiet as he crouch down and exporled the room and see a bathroom and he open it quietly as he look inside and see a key.
He grab it and slowly walk out of the room as he close the door and ran down the staircase and saw the torture chamber in play, as he see some the torturer torturing a person with a bag on her head.
The torturer look at castellanos as he have his 1911 out and ready as the torturer got a axe ready as he shot him, he continue out of the room and saw that the place change from a different area as the place got bigger.
There were also cog and gears on as the place were loud as he continue in the house as he need to reach the staircase, he was interrupted by natsuki clone as it was the stomach ones and big beefy monster.
He fought them with a shotgun and fire at them as he kill the natsuki clone but have to deal with the beef monster, he avoid being hit but some luckly hit came in as he got up and fire at it.
They were fighting on top of a cog as sebastian won the battle as he leave the area and have to do some parkour to get to the top of the staircase.
He made it to the top as he use the key and it open as he walk up the stairs and breathe heavily as he open the door and see the two.
Natsuki: "Sebastian!"
The man: "ahh, you never seen to give up do ya?"
Sebastian: "let her go!"
The man: "'let her go let her go' that all you gotta say? What are ya a freakin' pedophile?"
Sebastian: "i'm a offcer."
The man: "really? Well then, this will be fun."
Natsuki: "dad no!"
The man: "you remember that girl in middle school? Yeah i didn't like her, in face i remember not liking her parents either, and guess who won the battle? Me."
When he said that last word, he change into his monster form as he was a husk of skin and tall as he have hollow eyes and mouth.
The room was pretty big with no furniture in the way as the battle begun as castellanos start firing at the monster as it bleed this time.
The monster charge at him as he dodge it before it could attack him with a 1-2 punch, castellanos continue firing with his pistol and run out of ammo, he reloaded.
He continued his onslaught on natsuki's dad as he charge at him and try the one two punch again but every time he does that he stay in place and miss, he got annoy and jump at him doing a aerial smash on castellanos.
Sebastian was hit and was injury as he was on the ground and the monster pick him up and through him across the room.
He landed right next to natsuki as she was concern: "Sebastian!"
Her dad grab hold of his legs and start dragging him as castellanos pull out his shotgun and fire at him, the monster let go of him as he stand up and continue firing at him.
The monster was getting mad as he starting to do a 1-2-3 punches ending with an uppercut as sebastian dodge them easily as the rule surprisingly didn't change, sebastian reloaded his shotgun and fire at it again until he was out and reloaded again.
The monster try the aerial smash on him again but this time, castellanos was ready, he took that as a opportunity to lay down some lead on him.
He fire with his mp5 and the monster bleed as it was getting madder as it did the one two three punch but ended up pulling a chuck of wood out of the floor and toss it at castellanos.
It struck him as he pull out the wood out of him he got caught up i
n his one two three punch as he been send flying to the wall, he limp his way to safety and use a syringe on him which heal him of his wounds surprisingly well.
He continue on shooting at him until he ran out of bullets with mp5, he switch to his m16 and fire at it which did tremendous amount of damage It was going insane as it went berserk as it start throwing his punches everywhere as it then calm down as it lose breathe, sebastian continue unloaded into him until he was defeated.
The monster fell over as it breathe heavily as sebastian have his gun pointed at him, the monster change back into his human self as sebastian said: "is over."
He didn't say a thing as natsuki ran to her dad side and said: "dad, please stop this, i don't want you to get hurt anymore."
He sit up and look down, he was sweating bullets as he said: "why? Why i couldn't beat you?"
Sebastian: "because i'm not a little kid, your abusement doesn't work on me."
The man: "ehehahahaha. I guess you're right, sebastian..."
The man slowly but surely start crying as they both were surprise to see this, natsuki said: "dad? Why you crying?"
The man: "because i'm a terrible father, i shouldn't have done all those awful things to you."
"Why you do this?! Why you gotta intervene in our life sebastian?"
Sebastian: "because, this is personal."
The man: "what? What do you mean is personal? What could possibly be so personal-"
Sebastian: "because i'm a father too!"
There was silence for a while until the man said: "you're a father?"
"Yes, yes i am. I take this to heart, and you shouldn't do this to your child, abusing them and starving them. That's not how you raise a child."
"Then tell me, how should i raise my child?"
"...you should treat her with care and support her, treat her right. Look i know you still have grief to go through about your wife, but you need to let go. I lost my wife too, but i didn't let that ruined my life and let my daughter go to abusement. I move on, have a clearer thought and take care of my child."
The man stare at him as he can see that sebastian was being honest as the man said: "you're right, i should move on, my wife wouldn't want this to happen."
He look at his daughter and said: "natsuki. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the things i did to you, i'm sorry for being a terrible father and abusing you, i just, lost it when your mother died. I hope you can forgive me."
Natsuki then hug him, they both grip each other as natsuki start tearing up as they stay there for a while until natsuki speak up: "thank you dad, i, i always love you."
"I love you too sweetheart."
Then the man slowly disintegrate into bright light as he disappeared.
Natsuki: "what? What happened?'
Sebastian: "i believe he came in amends."
"Sebastian..."
She then hug him as they hug each other as natsuki said: "thank you."
"You're welcome."
And with that the world disintegrate as they disintegrate into bright lights.
*beep beep*
"Huh? What?"
Sebastian woke up and so did natsuki as the oven with off as he and she look at each other in relief, natsuki said: "what? What happened? Are we back?"
Sebastian nod his head and said: "yeah, we're back."
"So all that thing happened, did it really happen? Is my dad normal again?"
"Most likely."
She hug him again as he grip her as she said: "thank you sebastian, i can't believe what happened."
"Yeah, no problem."
They let go and look at each other as the oven with off again, natsuki said.
"Oh yeah, the cupcakes!"
She got up and ran to the oven and open it and pull out burnt cupcakes as natsuki said: "oh no we burn it! Now we got to make another batch!"
"Hey, i'm okay with that."
"But is going to take longer, and i don't know if my dad-"
She look at him and he smirk at her as he said.
"maybe he might be okay with this, besides, you got a adult with you."
Natsuki smile as she said: "yeah, let's make another batch."
