"Shizuka, I need a Halloween costume that will scare the living shit out of everyone I approach." I said, sitting against the wall, with said girl nodding her head.
"So, in reality, you need the help of the Ultimate Cosplayer, am I right?" She asked, with me nodding. "Well, with your height, your thin body and jawline, I have something in mind for you." She said, pulling out a ruler and started measuring every part of my body. "I'm thinking metal, something dark, scary, but recognizable." She said, with me crossing my arms once she finished measuring me.
"Well, what do you have in mind, because I want to scare my entire class." I said, grinning.
"Perfect, that grin will definitely work." She said, confusing me. "Right now, I'm going to put you through a lot, your costume will be done in an hour and be ready for your so called Halloween party." She said, with me smiling. "Every time you smile, you have to do it in a grin." She said, where I gave her a grin. "Good, now, onto making you scary as Hell." She said, picking up a LOT of black leather and some metal.
Who knows what I was going to be, because she still hadn't told me.
The next day at night
The Halloween party started half an hour ago. I was in all leather, skin tight with straps going across my chest. The coat came down to my feet, breaking off into something along the lines of Batman's cape and the collar stood up to about half from the top of my head. On my head, was a metal ring that went around my entire head and had spikes the size of my index finger. I was given some Thick playing cards, that could be thrown like daggers. My face was covered in white clown make up and red lipstick on my lips. I had a special pain that was used to turn my teeth yellow and wouldn't dissolve or be removed unless added with a secondary substance that would safely remove it, it was completely safe from what she told me so I went with it. From what she told me, I was the Batman Who Laughs. I didn't care what I was, just that I needed to scare everyone as Today was Halloween.
Approaching the classroom door, I knew I was the last one to arrive, and I wanted it like that. From what she said, I already had the mind down, I just needed to go in and show that I didn't care and was ready to kill everyone. Simple, but yet challenging.
"Come on, I bet you five Twix Dakota is in a Spider-Man costume."
"I think he's in an Iron Man suit."
"The bet is on."
Grinning as I could hear them betting on what I was wearing, I wanted to know what they were in as well. So, Slamming the door open, I jumped in and landed on the desk, where I tossed the cards all over the room, laughing hysterically while they all ducked down under the desks for safety. "The Clown King of Horror is Here bitches, and I've brought party favors for everyone!" I said, standing up with my arms spread apart, where I then tossed some candy at them.
Kazuichi stood up and glared at me. "Dame it, what the Hell is that!?" He yelled, with me seeing him as a Zombie version of his self.
"That, is the Batman Who Laughs!? You have got to be kidding me!?" Ibuki yelled as she stared at me with wide eyes, showing me that she was a rocker girl vampire.
"Hey, is that Dakota?" Mahiru asked as she was dressed as the Lady in Black.
Kuzuryu shook his head, dressed as Hanzo from Overwatch. "So it seems." He said, closing his eyes.
Peko, dressed as a female Genji, nodded her head. "Anyone else not see this coming?" She asked, looking at everyone else.
Nidai laughed, dressed as Michael Myers. "Always the one to go far and beyond!" He said, poking one of the metal cards.
"Oh god, that was scary?!" Mikan said, also a zombie but as a nurse.
"This is really amazing." Sonia said, showing that she was dressed as a witch, but with class. "I don't think I've seen anyone do anything as crazy as that, and all the cards went right over our heads like he wasn't even aiming at us!" She said as she looked at the card then back at me.
"The dark lord commends you on your success in terrifying us." Tanaka said, wearing a hamster costume, making him look cute.
Saionji stood up, glaring at me as she was dressed as Alice from Alice in Wonderland. "Are you trying to kill us, I'm too young to die?!"
Looking at Hanamura, he was dressed as a normal chef, but had a wig on, making him blonde. "Who are you suppose to be? You look exactly the same." I asked, with him crossing his arms.
"Oh...Well, you can get the hell out of my kitchen!" he yelled, with me knowing he was trying to do his best Gordon Ramsay impression.
"Hey, Chiaki, everyWOON is here!" Akane yelled showing that she was a werewolf, with me looking at Chiaki, seeing that she too was a witch.
Unlike Sonia, Chiaki had a black tank top with a pink bow on it with some flower designs on it. She had a black skirt with black leggings and striped gloves. She had a sticker of a spider on her right cheek and was wearing some light make up on her eyes with silver lipstick. "I think today is going to be great." Chiaki said, with me nodding, glade the make up was hiding my blush.
"I wonder when they will confess?" Peko said, with me looking at her, with her turning away, knowing that I heard her.
"I bet Chiaki confesses first." Kuzuryu said as he looked over at said girl.
Ibuki let her head drop at what she was hearing. "Er...Ibuki?" Akane asked, placing a hand over the rocker vampires shoulders.
She turned. "Should I do it before they do or will I lose my chance? What if they're...you know, already together?"
Akane shrugged. "You just have to jump in, take a chance, because your moment is slipping away!" She said, with Ibuki lowering her head.
"I didn't expect you to dress as a Sexy witch?" I said, walking over to Chiaki and took a glass of punch that she handed to me.
"Sonia and I went shopping yesterday, she said she wasn't one to go as the same thing as everyone else, but different costumes were ok. She said she wasn't going Sexy, so that left me with this...And it was the only thing in my size!" She said, blushing as she looked down at the punch.
I was a little let down that not many people were dressed as something scary. Halloween was suppose to be something scary, right? After all, I haven't celebrated it since I was about five or so, maybe the holiday changed? "DAKOTA! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE! YOU CAN TALK TO THE HOST LATER, WE NEED YOU OVER HERE PRONTO!" Nidai yelled, with me turning to look at him. He was grouped up with basically all the guys, minus Nagito who was suspended last month and Mitarai, who was sick at the moment.
"I'm coming!" I said, turning back to Chiaki. "Well, you know guys!" I said, giving her a small smile.
"Ya, and I really like your costume." She said, with me waving at her as I walked over to the guys.
"About time, we have to do the male's costume contest first before moving onto the girls." Kuzuryu said, with me nodding.
Tanaka nodded at this. "We will all give it our all, for we must get in character." He said, with me looking at them.
Kazuichi smiled, nodding. "When do we start?" He asked, with me shrugging.
"Ok everyone, its time to start the first round of the Contest." Sonia said, standing in front of the Podium. "The rules are simple, one must act like there costume, show it off, then after they have presented the costume, we will inspect the costume and its designs." She said, holding up a hat. "After we have examined each of them, we will place our votes in the hat. There will be two categories for each round, Scary and then Cute!" She said, looking over at us. "The first one up will be Kazuichi!" She said as she looked at Saionji, who held up a board with her name on it.
"Good luck out there, you're probably going to need it." I said, changing my voice up to sound creepy. He shivered at it as he made his way up to the front of the class.
"BOO, GET OFF THE STAGE!?" Saionji yelled, with nearly everyone laughing at her.
"I JUST GOT UP HERE!?" He yelled, not liking her one bit.
"Let the man do his thing!?" Nidai yelled, with me pumping my fist into the air, cheering him on.
After the class went silent, Kazuichi cleared his throat and it looked like he let his entire body go limp as he fell to the ground, leaning against the podium. Some of us got scared as his chest wasn't moving and his eyes went blank. Looking at the others, we shrugged our shoulders as we didn't know what was going on. He suddenly held his arm out, giving out a groan, a zombie like groan. he looked like he tried to stand, but he couldn't, so he stuck to dragging his self around with his good arm.
"Time!" Mahiru said as an alarm went off, shocking everyone.
"No one said anything about a time!" Kuzuryu said, narrowing his eyes.
"Well, it wasn't apart of the plan, but Mikan did bring up a good point to us during his performance." She explained, holding her hand to the side. "If one takes too long, then there wouldn't be enough time for the others."
"She dose make a good point." I said, looking at Mikan. "Good thinking." I said, giving her a thumbs up. "Now, if you girls would be so kind, go inspect the Zombie." I said, holding my hand out to Kazuichi.
Mikan approached him first, checking out the fake blood and where they came from, with her poking the missing chunk in his neck before walking back. Saionji just shook her head, not liking it, not even bothering to go up to him. Sonia did the same, but she just waved her hand in front of her face, still not liking his smell. Akane approached him and walked all around him and then back to the girls. Chiaki walked up to him, looked him in the eyes then turned away to return to the girls. Mahiru shook her head, not liking it either. Ibuki gave him a thumbs down, not liking it either. Peko didn't even look at him, she just crossed her arms.
"So, I guess we all can agree that he didn't make it into the Scary or Cute portion of the contest." Peko said, looking at the girls, who nodded. "Good, next will be Dakota." She said, reading the card Saionji held.
Everyone looked at me, with me keeping the same Grin on my face as I walked to the front of the class. Once I reached the front, I pulled out a fake heart. When I turned to them, I held it over my head, laughing as I squeezed it, followed by fake blood pouring out of it and onto my tongue as I had it stuck out. Dropping it, I looked at the others, still laughing. "Who wants to be next, I'll be sure to steal all of your hearts!?" I said, holding my hands out, letting two knife slip out into my hands.
I could tell that they were grossed out, because from the guys side, some of them went pail at what just happened, while the girls side, some of them nearly threw up. "What did I just see!?" Hanamura said, breaking the silence.
"The most insane of us all, isn't Tanaka...But Dakota?!" Kuzuryu said, looking between us.
"You fool, he just went through a rightful ritual to keep back the darkness!" Tanaka said, glaring at him.
"I...Think we need to further examine him now." Mahiru said, looking at the other girls. "Mikan, you're first." She said, pushing said girl forward, who started freaking out.
As Mikan approached me, well, she just approached the heart that I dropped, looking at it, doing her best not to look up at me. "Hey, Mikan." I said, with her jumping as she looked at me. I still had that grin on my face as I bent down to her level, and if I could, I would of grinned even more. "How about a bit!?" I asked, snapping my teeth at her, making her jump back away from me, making me laugh at her. "You're too easy." I said, standing up as she scooted away, on the verge of tears.
Saionji was laughing in her hand as she approached me. "That was good, I have to give you props for that!" She said, holding her hand out for a high five. I pulled out a knife and poked her hand, and she knew it was real by the feel of metal on her hand. She backed away fast, hugging Mikan as they both shook in fear.
Sonia approached me this time, grabbing the leather coat as she examined it. "What marvelous craftsmanship, who made this?" She asked, looking at the ends of it now. "Its metal mixed with goth, I really like it!" She said, looking up at me.
"That my dear, will be told another day." I said, holding my hand out to her, helping her up. Bringing her hand to my mouth, I made her think I was going to kiss it, but she yanked her hand away before I could bite it. "No fun." I said, chuckling as she smiled, backing away from me.
Akane approached me next and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "There isn't any doubt about it, he is definitely the scary one of the bunch!" She said, laughing with me as I pulled out another knife and slid them together, seeing her pail as I slowly turned to her, where she backed away to the others.
Chiaki walked up to me, looked me in the eyes, or would of if she could find them. "How do you see?" She asked, grabbing hold of the metal ring and removed it, seeing the eye holes in the mask.
"I memorized the entire schools layout, and with me being taller than most of you, I can see under the ring." I answered truthfully, getting a nod from her as she poked the knives to test there metal before returning to the others.
Mahiru looked at the other two, not liking that they backed up behind her. Giving a sigh, she approached me and stopped just in front of me, where she started laughing at me as she noticed something that the others didn't. "He's actually wearing lipstick!" She said as she turned to the others, with both of us laughing, where I wrapped my arms around her, pointing both knives at her chest, where she went silent.
"Hope you remember, never to talk about this again, ok?" I said, releasing her as she RAN over to the others, making me laugh some more.
Ibuki was pushed forward by Peko, where she started shaking like crazy. "IBUKI DOSENT WANT TO GET CLOSER, ITS TOO SCARY TO LOOK AT!?" She yelled, running straight to the others, leaving Peko by herself.
Peko shook her head as she approached me, her arms crossed. Stopping in front of me, she slid her finger on my cheek, taking some of the fake blood and putting it in her mouth, shocking everyone. "Tomato juice, nice touch." She said, nodding. "While not as thick as the real stuff, can still be effective." She said, walking back to the others, but stopped as I placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You think I'm just going to let you walk away-"
"You're scare tactics wont work on me anymore, that's whey I went last." She said, actually shocking me at her response, not even turning around to look at me as she walked over to the others and started talking to them.
"Man, that was cold." All the guys said as they just got over Peko's response.
Seeing them turn back to me, they all clapped, some slow like Ibuki, some fast like Sonia. "Its decided that he will be a part of the scary portion, as there is nothing cute about this." Peko said as she looked at the next person. "Ok, the next person will be Kuzuryu." She said, looking over at the Hanzo as he walked over to the front, with me walking past him, giving him a nod.
As he stood to the front, he got down to his knees and sat on his legs, placing the bow in front of him, closing his eyes as he took a breath. That was all he did up till the timer went off. Mikan approached him first like the others, with us knowing that they were scheduled in an order. She checked the tattoo on his arm then returned to the others. Saionji just shook her head, not liking it as she stood still. Sonia walked up to him and examined his clothes before walking back over to the others. Akane shook her head as she didn't like it. Chiaki walked up to him, messing with his fake beard before returning to the others. Mahiru shook her head, not liking it either. Ibuki gave him a thumbs down, not liking it either. Peko just stood there, then shook her head at him.
"Honestly, he isn't scary, but he could fit the cut portion of the contest." Peko said, looking at the others, with some of them nodding.
"He's not cute enough for me." Sonia said, shaking her head. "But it is a majority vote on it, so he's in." She said, looking back at Peko, who nodded.
"Ok then, next up will be Hanamura." Peko said, then looked at the others. "We already know the verdict on this one." She said, with them nodding. "Disqualified!" They all said, with me looking at the others for an answer.
"He tried spiking some of the drinks for extra fun." Kuzuryu answered, with me face palming at him for being an idiot.
"Nidai, you're up next." Peko said, with said man walking slowly to the front of the class, with us wondering what he was going to do. As he reached the front, we watched as he slowly turned to us, where the lights started flickering and when they went dark, we watched as they came back on and Nidai was gone.
I didn't say anything as I saw Nidai behind the girls, just standing there. 'What's you're next move?' I thought, grinning at them, gaining Ibuki's attention. Seeing her stiffen up, I watched as she slowly turned around, only to let out a silent scream, then started tugging on Mikans arm, still staring at Nidai as he slowly looked at her.
Having enough, she pushed Mikan into him and ran to the front. "Nope, not dealing with this, not today!" She said, confusing the ones who weren't aware of the situation. She crossed her arms, looking past the girls, with them turning to face Nidai. Each of them had there own reaction.
Mikan screamed and ran over to join Ibuki. Saionji laughed at there scared faces. Sonia backed away with a smile, but it was clear that she jumped. Akane high fived him, showing she had a remote in hand. Chiaki looked like she was about to hit him for some reason, but controlled herself. Mahiru jumped hard, holding her chest as she didn't expect to see him there. Peko just stood there, looking up at him with a blank expression.
"So that's what the remote was for." She said, looking at Akane's hand, with said girl nodding.
"Ya, we got the ultimate electrician to hook us up, it was cool of him, but we do owe him a weeks lunch." She said, looking up at Nidai.
"Well, Ill allow teaming up this once as it did add drama to it." She said, with Chiaki nodding. "From this point on, there will be on helping the others." She said, with the others nodding. "Alright everyone, do your thing." Peko said, watching as Nidai walked to the front of the class.
Mikan ran into the opposite direction with Ibuki leading the way, not bothering to look at him. Saionji clapped as she liked it. Sonia did the same, going as far as to give him a thumbs up. Akane just gave him a thumbs up with a grin. Chiaki walked up to him, and took off the mask, confusing everyone as she turned it inside out, smiling as it was an inside out, with it being a Spock mask before putting it back on Nidai the way it was. Mahiru nodded her head, liking it. Ibuki didn't bother looking at him, having crossed her arms, shaking a bit. Peko didn't react much, her arms still crossed with a blank expression.
"So, he made it into the Scary section, but not the cute." Peko said, looking at the others. "Now we just have to compare him to Dakota." She said, with the others staring at her. "You're right, I don't think anyone is going to beat Dakota." She said with a sigh. "His performance was just too good, but the show must go on." She said, looking at us. "Tanaka, you're up." She said, with said kid blushing as he walked to the front.
Once there, he got down on his belly as his hamsters all crawled out of his hood and faced him, with him poking there bellies, making them fall to there side and having fun with them. "Time!" Mahiru said, both hands on her cheeks while she jumped with most of the girls.
"Cute, he's definitely in cute, no doubt about it!" Sonia said, blushing up a storm as she tried her best to hide her blush.
"Its clear, so we have to move on." Peko said, blushing as well. She cleared her throat, gaining everyone's attention. "I need both Dakota and Tanaka to stand at the front." She said, with me walking over to Tanaka. "As the winners of both the cute and scary portions of the Male's costume contest, we present you with actual medals." She said, handing one to Sonia and Ibuki.
Sonia stood in front of Tanaka and placed it around his neck, while Ibuki tossed me mine as she didn't want to get too close to me. I caught it, grinning at her as we walked back to the guys side.
"Now, I believe its time for the girls to go." I said, looking at them. "Like the boys, the rules are the same, but an added rule." I said, looking at Hanamura. "No touching, or someone might find some parts missing in the morning." I said, seeing him flinch.
"Come on man, you think I'm going to pull-"
"Didn't you try to spike the drinks?" I asked, shutting him up. "I thought so." I said, looking at the girls. "The first one up will be Mikan." I said, with said girl walking up to the front, only to trip and hit her head, making us flinch. She started crawling, groaning like a zombie. It still confused us on if it was an act or not. Once she reached the front, she looked at us with half her face drooping, where the timer went off.
Nidai looked over at the other zombie in the room and shook his head in shame to him, with said zombie lowering his head in defeat. Kuzuryu just nodded as it was the better zombie of the two. Hanamura had blood leaking from his nose. Tanaka with his hamsters doing the same as they stood on his shoulders. Kazuichi just gave her a thumbs up, feeling defeated. I gave her a nod of approval and looked at the others.
"Its clear she's the better Zombie of the two, but is she enough for the scary portion?" I asked, with them shacking there heads. "Thought so." I said, looking back at Mikan. "Sorry Mikan, you didn't make it into the scary or cute portion, but nice performance, better then this Zombie." I said, rubbing said guys head as he started crying.
She gave a nod and went back to the others. "Next up, Saionji." Kuzuryu said, with said girl skipping to the front then placing a finger to her cheek, acting all cute.
"GET OFF THE STAGE!?" All the guys yelled at once, shocking her as she flinched.
"I just go up here!?" She yelled, looking at us in shock.
"And now you know how Kazuichi felt when you told him the same thing." I said, crossing my arms. "You may now begin." I said, holding my hand out to her as she placed a finger on her cheek again.
"Where am I, I wonder where I am?" She asked, looking around. "I was following mister Rabbit, did I fall down the hole?" She asked, looking above her. "Oh, please oh, please, I must find a way home!" She said as she started to move around until the timer went off. "That felt short." She said, with me nodding.
"Same time as everyone." I said, looking at the other guys. Nidai shook his head, not liking it. Kuzuryu just nodded as it was ok to him. Hanamura had blood leaking from his nose still. Tanaka shook his head but his hamsters nodded there heads. Kazuichi shook his head, looking away from her. I gave her a thumbs up, but also a thumbs down. "What do you guys think, Scary or cute?" I asked, with them looking at the others.
"She's not on scary, but she makes the cute portion." Hanamura said, with the others nodding as Saionji walked back to the others. "Next up, is Sonia the witch!" He said, with Sonia walking up to the front of the class.
She just played with the punch pot, speaking in tongue and waving her hands over it before the timer went off. "Well...I've seen worse." I said, scratching my cheek. "She's doesn't make it to either, I can tell that much." I said, looking at the others. Nidai nodded his head as he agreed with me. Kuzuryu just nodded as he stared at Sonia. Hanamura had blood leaking from his nose still. Tanaka was smiling as he nodded, with me thinking something was going on with the two as Tanaka doesn't smile much. Kazuichi gave her a thumbs up, already wanting her to win because of his crush on her. "Ok, sorry Sonia, but you weren't enough to beat Saionji or make it into the scary portion." I informed, with her walking over to the others, feeling down.
"Next up, is Akane!" Nidai said, with said girl jumping over everyone and landing in a low crouch, where she gave off a howl and then slashed in front of her a few times. "Easily scary, nothing cute about it!" He said, looking at us. Kuzuryu gave a nod as he looked her up and down. Hanamura had blood leaking from his nose and it was getting annoying. Tanaka nodded with his hamsters doing the same. Kazuichi just gave her a thumbs up. I nodded in her direction as it was something scary, but not scary for me. "That settles it, Akane is in the scary portion and not the cute!" He said, with said girl cheering and returning to the others.
"Next up, is Mahiru." Tanaka said, with said girl moving over to the front, looking like she was floating, surprising us as she slowly turned to us. I knew that she was given a push, wearing some sort of roller blades on her feet. She closed her eyes, where the black make up looked like she didn't have any eyes and when she opened her mouth, she let out a loud screech that made some of us cover our ears at how loud it was. "What a terrifying power, she must of absorbed a banshee to be able to do that!?" Tanaka said, looking at Mahiru with fear.
"Hey, I'm not a banshee!" Mahiru said, completely annoyed at being called a banshee.
"Well, its clear that cute is out of the question, and that she beats Akane in scary." I said, walking over to her and got behind her, pushing her back to the others, with her spinning around and sticking her tongue out at me. "Next up, is Ibuki." I said, with said girl sliding over to the front and making hissing noises, making us laugh to our selves. "Ok, Cute, yes, but not cute enough to beat Saionji." I said, knowing that she was going to be hard to beat. "Scary, maybe next year." I said, with her deflating and walking back over to the others.
"Peko, you're up!" Kuzuryu said, with said girl putting on her helm and walking to the front of the class. Once there, she slowly pulled out her sword from her back and then slashed a few times in front of her, with us seeing the green outline from her swings. "Cute, no, Scary, no." He said, with said girl nodding and walking over to the others. "Chiaki, you're up." He said, with said girl walking up to the front and facing us, where she then started thinking to herself.
"What was it that she told me to do again?" She asked, then placing a finger on her chin. "Wink?" She asked, with almost all of us blushing, with Hanamura getting knocked out.
"She wins, her cuteness is off the charts!" Kazuichi said, holding his chest, with me doing the same, but holding him up.
"Its dangerous, she's going to kill us with cuteness alone!" I said, looking back at her. "She wins cuteness, but not scary!" I said, looking down at Hanamura. "That's what you get, pervert!" I said, looking over at Mahiru. "She wins the scary, now go join Chiaki." I said, with her walking over, leaving behind a pair of roller skates behind in her place. "Kuzuryu, medals?" I asked, with him nodding and handing me one. Walking over to Chiaki, he walled over to Mahiru. "Congrats you two, you won." I said, placing the medal over her head, but she took it off and placed it into her bucket.
"I don't like wearing metals, but thanks." She said, smiling up at me, with me nodding as we looked back to the others, seeing them talking amongst them selves.
"Its hard to believe that I haven't celebrated Halloween since I was five." I whispered to myself with a small smile.
"Then, how about we go trick or treating?" She asked, with me facing her as she looked at the door. "Just the two of us?" She asked, blushing. Grinning, I grabbed her hand, the one with the bucket, in arm and dragged her out of the class, without being noticed by the others.
