Miz-K Productions presents:

In a dark manor, it was raining heavily. Up on the stairs, two people were up on the stairway, with a woman in tan skin and purple hair, lying down on the ground, dead, with an axe impaled into her chest. The boy was wearing a blue jacket and jeans with brown hair, as he was in front of a girl in long black hair, wearing a light purple blouse and skirt. The boy stared down at the girl, in a menacing look on his face, aiming a gun at her face.

"You, Enju, you did all this. They all died, because of you!" He barked, as he was upset.

"Kazuki, no… Please… Don't kill me!" Enju pleaded, with tears flowing down her face, "Kazuki, listen to me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I treated you! I'm sorry I hurt you badly! And I'm sorry that I was a jerk to you! I love you! Kazuki, I love you! I love you… … …"

Kazuki closed his eyes and said, "I love you, too, Enju. Forgive me. But this is the end. Once you die, I am free."

Enju sobbed, as Kazuki pulled the trigger. He finished, "One last thing, before you die… … … Happy birthday."

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

BANG!
And that was it. Kazuki fired the trigger at Enju. Tonight was Enju Saion-Ji's birthday. And unfortunately, it would be her last.

Enju's Last Birthday

It was Thursday the 7th, as Enju was happy for her birthday, coming up. She was wearing her black school uniform, and was calling Kazuki, "Oh, hey, Kazuki. I know you're busy and all, but I wanted to know if we have a date together, tomorrow. Uh, n-not that you're interested, I mean." She nodded, as she said, "Oh, you will? Thank you! I'll be there, sweetie! Uh, never mind the sweetie part. I mean… … … uh, goodbye!"

She hung up, as she was blushing heavily. She was happy that she's going to have her birthday with Kazuki, as long as it'll be a night to remember.

Meanwhile, at the Dorobune Shrine, Kazuki Araya met with a girl in light brown hair, wearing a white and red shrine maiden outfit, as he asked her, "Hey, Hotaru, I was wondering if you found us a place to have us hang out in. Just me and Enju."

Hotaru smiled, "Like, I hear you, Kazuki. I have been searching for places to stay, while on a date, on Ennie's Birthday. But… I think I know a place that Myu-Myu told me about."

"You do? Where?"

"Well, it's near Mizaki City, only far from the shrine. And it's really murky out."

"Murky?"

"Yeah. But, like, we totally have everything under control, Kazuki. You and Enju will be happy together." She then winked, "Oh, hope you two make it all the way, bro!" She chuckled.

He blushed, as he snarled, "Dammit, don't be so serious!" He then whispered into her ear, as he said, "Right. You know the deal, about everyone else."

Hotaru nodded, "Sure. I'll make sure of that, Kazuki. Like, leave everything to me!"

He left the shrine, as Hotaru smiled, knowing that this will be a fun birthday party.

Kazuki said, as he and Enju met with each other in the classroom, "So, Hotaru is going to take us to a nice place, near the shrine, and to have a very beautiful time together, just the two of us."

Enju smiled, "Kokonohi-san, she always helped us out. I wish to know where, exactly."

He showed her a small paper and said, "Here. This is a manor, nearby in the forest. It's a huge lofty manor called "Rhamantaidd Anobeithiol". It's a manor for people who are in love."

"Wow. So cool!" Enju smiled, "Just the two of us! Amazing!" She then asked, "Wait, are the others coming, too?"

"Nope. It's just the two of us." he smiled, "Besides, we do want it to be just us two, and no one else. Can't you see? This is finally a chance to know each other, for long."

She blushed, as she then said, "Alright. But the minute we arrive, you be careful with what you do to me, Kazuki."

"When have I ever?"

Enju glared at him, "Always."

They are about to head to the mansion, as they are ready to have a special birthday date together, just the two of them.

The day came, on Friday, as Kazuki & Enju were heading to the manor. The sky was cloudy, as they were walking together. Enju said, "It is supposed to rain today. But at least we'll be able to spend time alone."

"Indeed." he said, and then thought, "Just the two of us, all alone. We'll be happy together, as a couple. But I can imagine what we'll have together. Maybe this is it."

Enju asked, as she was curious, "Uh, something wrong?"

He said, "Uh, nothing."

As they were walking, they passed a girl with dark blue hair, done in twin tails, wearing her school uniform, with a green hoodie on. Enju asked, "Huh? Suou-san?"

He asked her, "Hey. Uh, Yamabuki, why are you here?"

Yamabuki said, "Oh, me? Well, I was busy drawing the scenery in the distance. I wanted a beautiful forest view, for my next work."

"Oh, that's swell. So, why are you here?"

"Oh, you know me. Just, uh, working. How about you guys?"

Enju said, "We're going to the Rhamantaidd Anobeithiol Manor. Kokonohi-san said that it's very divine."

Yamabuki smiled, "Ah, the Rhamantaidd anobeithiol… or commonly known in Welsh as… Hopeless Romantic." She giggled, "Kinda like you are, fam!"

Kazuki barked, "Shut up!"

BOOM!
Thunder struck, as it was starting to rain. Yamabuki gasped, "Oh, shit! Rain!" She covered herself, as she called, "I have to go! See ya around! OH! Enju, Happy Birthday!"

She dashed off, as Kazuki & Enju rushed off, through the rain, and headed to a small shelter. They went in, as Kazuki gasped, "Sheesh. It's raining heavily. Now it seems that we're lost. We cannot find the manor."

She sighed, "Yeah. I'm all soaking wet." Her clothes were lightly damp, nearly see-through. She muttered, "I bet no one is around."

He smiled, "Well, let's ask someone, in case we run into something like this." He spotted a figure in a black hood, as he called, "Excuse me, sir? Miss? Uh, can you help us?"

The figure departed, as Kazuki said, "Hm. Must be in a hurry."

Enju said, "Yeah. We should ask someone else."

Hotaru appeared, wearing a tan sweater and a black skirt, with her hair waving around, "There you guys are! O! M! G! You are so late!"

Enju asked, "Kokonohi-san?"

Hotaru smiled, "I came to get you, girl. Happy birthday, Ennie!" She hugged, as Enju smiled and blushed, "Thanks."

Hotaru said, "Yeah, listen, I knew it was going to rain, so I was thinking of going to drive you there. But then my car suddenly broke down, so-."

"YOU own a car?" Kazuki asked.

Hotaru said, "No. Venus does. But I rented one for her, as long as she understands the situation. Anyways, you're headed for Rhamantaidd Anobeithiol, the mansion."

They nodded, as Hotaru said, "We should hurry."

XXXXX

They drove off, as a man in gray hair, wearing a red butler suit, was in the wheel. Enju was sitting in shotgun, as Hotaru and Kazuki were in the back. They were headed close to the manor, in the distance. The lights were lit dimmed, as they saw the view of a Welsh Manor.

"Whoa, how classical. It's like an 1800s-style castle." Enju said.

Hotaru said, "This is Rhamantaidd Anobeithiol, and the mansion of romantic affairs. AHEM! But… … … not everything is all romantic."

Enju asked, "What do you mean?"

Hotaru said, "Come. I'll show you." The car stopped, as they stepped out of the car, heading to the front door. They were lightly dampened, as Hotaru knocked on the door. The door suddenly opened, as no one was there. Kazuki said, "Whoa, no one there?"

Hotaru said, "As I figured. It's abandoned. But luckily, this place was abandoned for years on end. Like, there are such dark vibes."

Enju asked, "How long has it been abandoned?"

Hotaru replied, "About 200 years. But luckily, it's still working with its lighting and décor. Though, like, it's totally musty and dusty. God, no one bothered to clean this place."

"Certainly!" He barked, "It's been abandoned for 200 years!"

Hotaru smirked, "Well, no worries. We'll set up camp here, and you two make yourselves at home. I'll be joining you guys, too!"

Enju gasped, "WHAT?"

Hotaru winked, "No worries, doll. Like, you get a room, by yourself, and no one will be able to disturb you. I'll be staying here, just to cook the meals, since you two will be spending the night here." She giggled.

He said, "Hotaru's right. I don't think the rain is letting up. What do you say?"

Enju asked, "Can, uh… … … you give us some dry clothes?"

Hotaru smiled, "Looks good. I think there's a bathroom, somewhere."

XXXXX

Kazuki and Enju were in a bath together, as it was a huge room with a bathtub inside. Kazuki blushed, as he was wearing a towel. He said, "Sorry, I, uh… maybe I wanna see the birthday girl."

Enju huffed, "Not funny." She turned away, as she called, "Come on in. We're all alone."

He sighed, "Well, I was hoping something might happen."

"Kokonohi-san has this covered. You'll be fine, Kazuki."

"Thanks."

He stepped in, as they were having a bath together. Enju smiled, as she said, "So far, it has been a wonderful birthday, Kazuki. And I got to be with you, and only you." She hugged him, as he blushed, "Yeah, thanks, babe."

She let go and gasped, "BABE?!" She stammered, "Uhhh, d-d-don't think that makes us an item!"

Enju went tsundere, even though she has feelings for Kazuki. They bathed together, until they finished.

XXXXX

After the bath, Enju was in a yukata, walking to the door. She smiled, "That was a soothing bath. This place does have everything. Now all it needs is a bedroom."

She opened the door, and she gasped, "EEK!"

"KYAAAAA!"

They screamed, as Enju's yukata suddenly fell off. A girl in blonde hair asked, "Enju?"

"Akari?!" Enju cried, as Akari was in a pink sweater and red skirt and shirt, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Akari said, "Oh, it was raining. And I had to find refuge. Mom said I was to bring home some groceries, but it poured, before I could make it. You mind if I stay with you, until the rain stops?"

Enju nodded, "Understood. Akari, you are free to leave, anytime."

Akari said, "Yes. But, I'm sorry, but Myu and I were on the way to the supermarket. And it suddenly poured. And Myu's premonitions came to pass, and you and Kazuki are in grave danger!"

Enju asked, "WHAT? You were following me?"

Akari nodded, "Yes."

Enju called, "Where's Myu?"

Akari said, "She's in the lobby, drying her clothes off. She and Ricka got all wet."

Enju cried, "Machiyuki-san, too?!" She barked, "Goodnight, Akari."

She shoved her out and barked, "Go to your room, and leave me alone! Whatever it is, I want NOTHING to do with it! It's my birthday, and I want it special!"

Akari called, "Then I'll tell Kazuki about this! Is he here? Yamabuki told me you were with him!"

Enju growled, "Suou-san, you squealer!" She said, "Yes. But if you want anything, Kokonohi-san's here, too. She may provide you a room."

Akari sighed, "Yes, Enju."

Akari leaves, as she runs into Lily, a girl in long blue hair, done in a pigtail, wearing a red dress, "What are you doing here, Akari?" She barked, as Akari gasped, "Hasn't anyone told you not to talk to others, while bathing? I will NOT tolerate rudeness!"

Akari walks off, and said, "My apologies, Lily."

Lily said, "I see."

As Lily was walking, she saw Kazuki, who was glaring at her. They stared down, and kept quiet. He said, "This is between me and Enju. This is her special birthday. I see that you are caught in the rain, too?"

"Yes. Tengge-san and I were drenched, and we had to take shelter."

"I see. As long as you girls stay in your own rooms, Enju & I need time alone."

"I understand. It's her birthday, after all. I'll keep an eye on Tengge."

"That'd be nice."

They walked off together, as Enju went to him, "Was that Lily?"

He said, "Yeah. Apparently, Hotaru blabbed about the manor. Hopeless Romantic, indeed."

Enju barked, "WHATEVER! I'm leaving, right now!"

He cried, "NO! No, wait, Enju, it's alright."

A noise was made, as a figure tripped down on the ground. She muttered, "Ow… that hurts."

Kazuki whispered, "Who was that?"

She sobbed, "I don't know."

They went to the figure, but suddenly, the lights went out. Enju screamed, "EEK!"

Kazuki called, "The lights are out. Shh! We both creep on the pervert."

"Right. He crawled in, and suddenly wanted in on this Love Hotel."

"That bastard! Come on."

They crept closer, and then tackled the figure. The lights went back on, as they saw a girl in long apple green hair, wearing a tan sweater and skirt. She shrieked, "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! DON'T HURT ME! DON'T HURT ME! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Enju gasped, "Wha-? Kashima-san?"

Nanao smiled and gasped, "OH! Kazuki, Enju. JEEZ, WHAT THE HELL? You scared me like that!"

She moaned heavily, as Kazuki's hand was on her breasts. He gasped, "EEP! Sorry, didn't mean to land there."

Enju glared, "Hentai."

Nanao barked, "YOU'RE THE WORST, AND ON HER BIRTHDAY!"

He thought, "I thought she was a prowler."

Enju said, "Lemme guess, you came from the rainstorm?"

"Yeah, I'm drenched to the bone, and I had to come here. But now it's dark and quiet, and I wanted to find shelter! I was on my way to get a limited-edition figurine of my favorite anime, but the rain got to me. And when I got here, I was soaked to the bone. I tried to call for help, but the lights went out!"

"I see. You're here, too, among others."

"Others? Ohhhh, sorry. I guess it was a rude time to visit you guys."

Kazuki said, "Well, the more the merrier. We can have our birthday party here, if you like."

Nanao smiled, "That's the plan. Is everyone here?"

Kazuki said, "Uh, not yet. Everyone came through the rain, but it seems that no else came."

Enju said, "Suou-san's the only person not here."

"Right. Can I take a bath now? I'm soaked and freezing!" Nanao shivered.

Kazuki said, "We just had a bath, so… you go on ahead."

Nanao walked off, as Enju sighed, "Jesus, why are we unlucky, alone?"

He said, "I don't know. It'll be so much fun, just us alone, while these girls bathe together."

Enju grabbed his arm and said, "Right. We'll head to the bedroom, while the other girls bathe."

They walked together, hand in hand, and went into the bedroom.

XXXXX

They lied in bed, as Enju was in her black bra and panties. She smiled, "Ahhh, this is the life, eh?"

He said, "Yeah." He thought, "This is so amazing. Despite that the girls are here to make room, we get to warm up in the bedroom, naked and alone."

He was fantasizing, but Enju glared at him, "Ahem! Excuse me?" He snapped out of it, and Enju shouted at him, "You hentai among hentais! You actually think we'd have sex together?"

He then confessed, "If you must know… … … yes."

Enju blushed, as she was nervous, "Well, we are very close. And, well, this is my first time, Kazuki."

She crawled to the bed, and proceeded to kiss him. They started to kiss in bed, as Enju whispered, "Kazuki, please do me."

He smiled, "Sure. Sure, baby."

They started to caress each other, kissing each other on the lips and neck. But Enju stopped, as she shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

"What's wrong?"

"THERE'S SOMEONE OUT THERE!"

They saw a shadow looming in the distance. He growled, "I don't believe this."

She got dressed and said, "Come on. Let's go."

They ran out of the bedroom, fully dressed, and headed to the lobby. The door suddenly boomed, as they gasped. Kazuki asked, "There's someone at the door!"

Enju sobbed, "I'm scared."

He reached for the door, but the door suddenly opened. A woman in tan skin and long purple hair appeared, wearing a blue blouse and white shorts. She was holding an umbrella and said, "Hi! Sorry I was late. Lily ran out on me!"

Enju asked, "Tengge-san?"

Tengge said, "Yeah, I am. I have returned here. I heard this is a place, the Rhamantaidd Anobeithiol. And, well, OH!" She gave her a small box and said, "Happy birthday!"

Enju blushed, "uh, thank you."

Tengge went in, as Enju was a bit mortified.

XXXXX

Enju rushed back in the bedroom, as she barked, "Tengge had to ruin everything!"

He cried, "Oh, come on, Enju! How was I supposed to know that they'd all come? Yamabuki did all that, I bet!"

She cried, "Who gives a shit? This is supposed to be the two of us! And we're stuck in the rain! this is my worst birthday ever! Akari's here, Myu, Machiyuki-san, Kashima-san, Lily, Tengge, and even Kokonohi-san bothered to stay! Are there anybody ELSE coming to this place?"

Kazuki sighed, as he said, "Look, no one else. But, well, you want the truth? Since we heard it might rain, we should have the birthday party here, and not back at Akari's."

Enju sighed, "Yes. You're right. Now what? Everyone's here, except…"

Akari called, "Hey, Enju, Kazuki? Do you have a minute? Hotaru wants us down here, post haste!"

They approached Akari, as they were headed to the dining room. The girls were sitting together, as they were worried and shaken. Kazuki asked, "Okay, what's all this then?"

Ricka sobbed, "Scary. Scary. Too scary."

Myu, a girl in pink hair, wearing a yellow dress, said, "Senpais, I am glad you're here. This place, I believe, is haunted."

Enju asked, "Haunted?"

Lily said, "Tell them, Hotaru. You're the expert."

Hotaru said, "Like I said, this is the manor that is 200 years old, but with a very dark past. Myu-Myu, would you like to tell them?"

Myu smiled, "Sure. The Rhamantaidd Anobeithiol Manor. It used to be called the Brisbane Manor, a family that lived for up to 300 years, before the family members were murdered. This place was abandoned, and left in a desolate ruin. But, every couple of years, those who set foot in this manor… never returned from inside."

Nanao asked, "You mean, they all died?"

Myu said, "Yes. They all perished, a whole generation of Brisbanes, and now, we're in the house, out of sheer coincidence."

Akari gasped, "WHAT? But we all entered here, only because-. Wait! THREE hundred years?!"

Hotaru said, "Even those that try to tear it down suffered a grizzly fate that awaits them! Once they enter the mansion, they have no chance of ever escaping… … … until everyone is dead."

They all gasped in horror, as Enju sobbed, "But, how long do we have to live for?"

Myu said, "We are to stay here, until the morning. As long as we survive, we'll be able to break this curse. This is the first time we entered something so horrifying that we are going to fight for our lives."

Tengge shivered, "Wow, three hundred years."

Lily said, "And no one ever leaves the Brisbane Manor?"

Myu stated, "Never. But as long as we celebrate Enju-senpai's birthday, we'll be fine. We have until morning."

Ricka sobbed, "So, wanna go home."

Nanao said, "No Wi-fi."

Akari sobbed, "No heat."

Lily whispered, "No lights."

Enju thought, "No privacy."

Thunder boomed, as the lights flickered. Kazuki said, "Let's light some candles, and help Enju stay calm. We'll party, either way."

Myu smiled, "Right. I'll prepare dinner, while we retire in the living room."

XXXXX

They were in the living room, as Nanao was playing the piano, playing a very classical tune. The others were enjoying it, as Nanao was playing.

Kazuki said, "This is the first time I see Nanao do something that is not nerd-related."

Akari smiled, "She's very brilliant."

Enju smiled, "It's nice."

"La Forza del Destino." Lily said, "The Force of Destiny. A very subtle tune."

Tengge smiled, "So nice."

Nanao finished playing, as she sobbed, "Why? Why'd he left me? This was a song just for us, and he left me for another! Why? Why did that man do this to me? He loved me! He did love me! We were to be married!"

She ran off, sobbing, as Tengge smiled, "It is obviously one of his 2D hunks."

Nanao wailed, from outside the halls, "ASHLEY!"

Lily said, "Poor Nanao. She has suffered so much, since she has been lonely, most of the time-."

"SUFFERING?!" Akari bellowed, as she marched off, "Someday, I always wondered if you'd understood the meaning of the word."

Lily gulped, as she felt awkward. Nanao kept crying out the boy's name, as he was simply a 2D guy he adored. She calmed down and said, "Oh, I do, Akari. I do."

XXXXX

At the dinner table, the girls and Kazuki were having a meal, as Kazuki said, "You make a great dinner, Myu."

"Thanks, Senpai." Myu smiled, "I did that with all my heart. And it's special, since it's Enju-senpai's birthday."

Enju smiled, "Thank you."

Myu said to her, "Enjoy your meal? It's really good."

Ricka said, "More, please. Fried noodle hot dog."

Kazuki huffed, "Of course."

Akari said, "Wow! We should have our dinner, at my place, once this is over!"

Tengge giggled, "This will be so much fun!"

Kazuki looked around, as he asked, "Hey, whatever happened to Hotaru?"

They stopped eating and looked around. Kazuki said, "She's absent from the table. You sure she is here?"

Myu said, "Hotaru-senpai wasn't around, after Nanao-senpai went crying."

Nanao sniffled, "Sorry. Has there enough horror going on? I mean, we have 24 hours left to live, before we can return home."

Enju said, "Well, it was a delicious meal. May I be excused? Kazuki and I are going to retire to our room."

Tengge asked, "Surely, you're not going to stay longer."

"I am serious, Tengge-san." Enju said, "It's my birthday, after all."

"But it'll soon be midnight."

"Why? What happens at midnight?"

Enju paused, as Kazuki said, "Uh, what happens at midnight?"

Myu said, "I'm sorry. But it's time to tell you the truth. This does not concern you guys, but since we're friends, it's time we tell you. Hotaru & I are aware of the Brisbane Manor. This is where… … … … … the murderer is still alive, in this house, for three hundred years! We were going to exorcise the demon, but Hotaru-senpai was absent."

Kazuki said, "I see. So, there's a ghost in this-."

"GHOST?!" Ricka shrieked, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Akari cried, "NO WAY! A GHOST?"

Nanao shrieked, "WHAT? A GHOST IN THIS HOUSE? That's why we're trapped here?"

Enju cried, "Don't be ridiculous! Kazuki and-."

"I heard it from upstairs, after our bath!" he said, "Before you guys got here, I heard a noise."

Enju whispered, "Where? It was when Akari and I met!"

Kazuki said, "Follow me."

Myu cried, "Senpai, I wouldn't go there, if I were you!"

He said, "That never stopped us before, Myu. I'll be fine."

Myu shrieked, "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! Think what you're doing! The phantom is killing people for three hundred years, since he was 14! He murdered a girl, after he-!"

He cried, "Save the horror stories until after we exorcise the ghost!"

Myu shouted, "PLEASE, SENPAI! THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING! You must not go up there!"

They made it to the door, as Myu pleaded, "He's dangerous! Don't you understand?"

Enju shouted, "Myu, be quiet! It's obviously a prank."

Kazuki pointed at the door, as Tengge said, "Is this it?"

He nodded, as Enju asked, "What happened? A 14-year old boy? 14 years old? And he committed murder?"

Myu whimpered, "You do not understand. Frederick Brisbane is alive in this house. He was brought dishonor into the household, murdered his family, and killed himself (or so the rumors were told). Frederick Brisbane, he… He was a murderer, all because he dated a girl. After he died, the room was sealed."

Enju cried, "At 14?! Frederick Brisbane was a murderer?"

Lily said, "I'll get some light." Tengge knocked, as Myu cried, "Think of what you're doing!"

Akari called, "Think first of what you are doing!"

Tengge turned the knob, as she whispered, "Okay, It's open."

Myu whispered, "We have to exorcise him. He must serve the time he suffered, and let him pass on."

Akari barked, "How can we? That cruel boy! What he did, if you know what he did, tell us, or leave it alone! Have you no pity?"

Enju said, "Please! Open the door, Tengge! Kokonohi-san will fix this, once we find her."

He said, "Do as we must, we have to end this. We all have to survive the night."

Enju barked, "This is not your affair, Kazuki! Tengge, open the door!"

Myu cried, "WAIT! What you're about to see is unspeakable evil inside!"

Tengge turned the knob and opened the door. She looked inside and whispered, "Hello? Frederick?"

They were in a boy's bedroom, filled with broken and cracked toys, a bed, torn curtains, and a pile of tattered clothes. The entire room was covered in dust and cobwebs.

"Hello? Frederick Brisbane?" Tengge called.

Enju said, "He's not here. It's obvious that it's a ghost."

Akari said, "It can't do you any good, guys. He's long gone. Look!"

They saw an open window, as Kazuki gasped, "That window wasn't supposed to be open, right?"

Myu sobbed, "It's worse than I feared. He… He's loose!"

Kazuki said, "I heard him, when he was in here."

Enju sobbed, "Yeah, he did. But I think I saw him outside, while we were in the bedroom."

They looked around the decrepit room, only to find some scratch marks on the door. Nanao found a doll on the wall, and held it. She gagged, as she dropped it, as it was full of maggots and worms. She gagged, "AUGH!"

Enju said, "That's likely over a century old. How is he able to live that long?"

She found a pile of bones and rat carcasses. She picked up one of the bones, and then a body flung down, hanging from the ceiling. They shrieked, as the body was made of cloth, with a knife impaled in its chest. They screamed in horror, and rushed out of the room. Myu cried, "AAAAAAAAAAAAGH! I mean, that was so awesome!"

Akari bawled, "OH, GOD!"

They went back in, as Ricka panicked. She shivered, as Lily approached the body. She whispered, "Phew. It's just a dummy. He made this, to scare off people."

They went back downstairs, as Lily locked the door.

They retired to the living room, as Lily said, "I hate to say it, but… it comes to our attention that Frederick Brisbane is on the loose, even if he is 300 years old. But even so, no one would live so long to murder."

Tengge asked, "So, what are you saying?"

Lily said, "It means that one of us… … … could know what happened here. Myu, what happened in the rest of the story?"

Enju cried, "What happens now? Should we call the police?"

Myu said, "No, senpai. We cannot call the police. Fredrick's spirit is on the loose, and he could go after us next, no matter what the situation is."

Kazuki asked, "But surely it's-."

Myu said, "No! We must find a way to exorcise this demon, before it's too late! He may slit us alive, just like what he did to that poor wretched girl, when she was pregnant!"

Kazuki gasped, "He killed a pregnant girl?"

Myu said, "He seduced that simple village girl, and when he got her pregnant, he offered his hand in marriage to the girl of his dreams, and on this very building, under this very roof, he killed her in cold blood, while still with child! THAT is why such a 14-year old was punished for his wrongdoings! He's waited a long time, and tonight is his chance of revenge."

Enju cried, "But we can't take the law into our own hands!"

Akari cried, "We have no choice! What choice did we have to avenge a 300-year old murder that was never given closure? The Brisbanes never got revenge, as they seek out justice, for centuries; and that is why we must act, and avenge this 300-year curse, by surviving the night, AND to defeat the demon!"

Nanao sobbed, "Yes. But, I'm sorry, I can't do it."

Ricka moaned, "So do I. Too scary."

Kazuki said, "We have to try. This is Enju's Birthday. We're not going to make it her last."

Hotaru returned, as she said, "What happened?"

Lily said, "Hotaru! You came. It's a long story."

Myu sobbed, "I'm afraid it's begun."

The Ninja Seeking Club were worried and scared, as there is a ghost in the house, and if they do not solve this murder, then they'll all die.

Hotaru barked, as she went outside, "I don't like this, but OMG, I quit!"

Kazuki cried, as he and Enju went after her, "But you can't leave now! We need you!"

Hotaru yelled, "A murder? By a 300-year old ghost? Nuh-uh, screw you guys!"

Enju cried, "Kokonohi-san, you can't leave! We have to stop that ghost!"

Hotaru barked, "WHY? A ghost of a lunatic boy who killed a woman who's totally preggers?! No, what if I did a séance, that ghost butchers me alive? You heard Myu-Myu's story! He was 14, and killed her in swift blood! Kazuki, Ennie, you two can stay, all you want, but I'm leaving and calling a policeman to get here!"

Enju agreed, as she said, "You're right. We're coming with you."

Kazuki said, "We'll get our things and go. Let them suffer with that ghost."

Enju said, "Even if it's a real ghost, it's obviously a prank by some pervert."

He huffed, "And it's not me, not that I would."

Hotaru smiled, "Thanks. Now, like, lemme through."

She knocked on the window, as she cried, "Sebastian! Sir, please, open the door!"

It was still raining, as no one was in the car. Hotaru looked down, as she gasped. She saw the tires on the car, slashed and hacked. She barked, "Oh, shit! SHIT! IT'S A RENTAL! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"

Kazuki asked, "What happened? Hotaru, what happened to the car?"

Hotaru sobbed, "Oh, Venus is gonna kill me! Venus offered me, like, a hot car for travel, and I-!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" A woman's shriek was made.

Enju cried, "NO!" She rushed inside, as Kazuki cried, "ENJU!"

Enju, Kazuki, & Hotaru ran back in, as the butler was with a girl who is soaking wet. It was Yamabuki.

Kazuki gasped, "That's-. YAMABUKI?!"

Enju gasped, "Suou-san?!"

Hotaru roared, "SEBASTIAN! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?"

He responded, "My apologies, Miss Hotaru, but I found her sneaking in the bushes, drenched and cold."

Yamabuki shivered, "He-he-he-hey, fffffam. AAAAH-CHOO!" She sneezed.

Kazuki, Enju, & Hotaru glared bullets at Yamabuki, as they thought someone was hurt.

Yamabuki was dried off, as she said, "After the rain fell, I had to hurry home to the dorms, but all of a sudden, I tripped and my sketchbook was destroyed, all wet and ruined!"

Sebastian said, "I found her in the bushes, after she screamed, and I hurried over. She was sopping wet, milady."

Hotaru smiled, "My goodness, that was horrible."

Yamabuki said, "I was g-gonna meet you guys, but you never picked up. And suddenly, he grabbed me, the butler, and I was startled, lost my sketchbook, and was covered in dirt."

Sebastian said, "Yes, I must've given her such a shock."

Hotaru said, "All's forgiven, Sebastian."

Lily smiled, "Thank goodness. Don't scare us like that!"

Yamabuki asked, "So, did I miss the party, guys?

Akari smiled, "You got here, just in time."

Nanao cried, "NO! She's not welcome here!"

Yamabuki cried, "WHAT? No! You can't kick me out!"

Nanao barked, "I'm not saying you're kicked out! Your life is in danger! LEAVE NOW! Enju, Akari, someone, throw her out!"

Myu said, "No. It's too late, Nanao-senpai. It's begun." She stated, "Yamabuki-senpai, you can dry off in Nanao's room."

Nanao cried, "MY ROOM? NO WAY!"

Hotaru said, "It's alright. Everyone gets to share a room. Enju & Kazuki gets to share a room together, but each of you get your own room, away from them."

Tengge winked, "Of course, it is Enju's birthday, after all."

Lily sobbed, "Some birthday."

Yamabuki asked, "What's going on here? Why are you all shaken?"

Kazuki said, "It's a long story. Right now, everyone needs to head inside, where it's safe."

Nanao said, "Come on, Yamabuki. I'll explain, once we get you dried off."

"Y-Y-You're too kind." Yamabuki shivered.

Hotaru called, "Ennie, Kazuki, can I have a word with you, alone?"

They went outside, as Hotaru said, "This is so not cool, guys. We can't get out of here now."

Enju said, "Of course, you're exorcising the ghost."

"NO! Not that!" Hotaru complained, "It's the car. The car we came in, it got attacked. All four tires got slashed, just before Bookie screamed."

Kazuki cried, "ALL FOUR TIRES?!"

Enju gasped, "JESUS!"

Hotaru wailed, "LIKE, LADY VENUS WILL KILL ME!"

Kazuki roared, "BUT HOW? They're torn apart!"

Enju said, "Judging by the marks we found, it's that Brisbane ghost. He did it with his own bare hands."

He asked, "Were there any other vehicles?"

Enju said, "Let's find out." They headed off, looking for another car.

Inside, Yamabuki said, in her robe, and her hair done up in a ponytail, "PHEW! I feel so much better! How about some grub, fam?"

Myu said, "I think we have some leftover from earlier. I'll see if I can make you some, senpai."

Yamabuki giggled, "Thanks, Myu-Myu, yer the best!"

They found another car, as Hotaru sobbed, "No."

Kazuki asked, "Another car? Whose is that?"

Enju said, "I don't know, but the tires on that car is slashed, too."

Kazuki whispered, "It means one thing. Even if we survive the night together, we cannot leave, at all."

The Ninja Seeking Club was trapped in the rain, since the Brisbane Manor, with a ghost of a 14-year old murderer inside. And even so, they have to spend the night here, in order to live. But what now, since they are trapped?

Hotaru called on her cellphone, "HELLO! HELLO? Hello, Venus? VENUS! HEY!" She slammed her phone and barked, "Dammit!"

Akari sobbed, "No reception. This rain isn't letting up."

Lily said, "No bars. I'm afraid we're stuck here, until the rain stops."

Myu said, "Yeah. But we're scared to hear that we're stuck here, for as long as we can, thanks to the cars' tires being hacked off."

Enju said, "That's not a problem, guys. We'll stay here, until the rain stops, and after that, we leave this hellish place, hiking back to town."

Kazuki barked, "You had to tell Myu about this, didn't you, Enju?"

Enju said, "They had to know. Plus, we're ninjas! We can survive, without transportation! Even so, if that ghost shows up, who knows what will happen to us? We're terrified enough, as it is!"

He said, "Alright, everyone, we need to forget about this. We should all go to bed. We'll celebrate Enju's belated birthday party, tomorrow. (Provided if we survive)."

Akari nodded, "Agreed. Kazuki, would you like to sleep with me? I'm scared."

Lily said, "I'll sleep with Tengge-san."

Tengge panicked, "Uh, no. I can handle myself."

Myu sobbed, "Hau! I'll, uh, be fine."

Hotaru huffed, "You babies."

Enju said, "NO! Kazuki sleeps with me!"

Kazuki said, "Uh, girls, I think it's best I watch over all of you, tonight. You know, to see if our ghost friend shows up."

Lily said, "Good idea."

Ricka sobbed, "G-G-G-Ghost."

Myu hugged her, "Senpai, you stay by me, okay."

Ricka wept, "Myu-Myu!"

Yamabuki yawned, "Yeah, my sketchpad needs to dry out. So, I'll retire for the night."

They all agreed to stay the night, sleeping in their rooms. But as they were sleeping, a figure appeared and secretly unlocked the door to Fredrick's room. An evil snicker was made, as the figure departed.

XXXXX

Enju was in her black bra and panties, as she whispered, "Well, now that we're alone, we can continue where we left off."

He smiled, "Yes, ma'am. Listen, I kinda wished that you'd not be scared, since we may spend the night here, and it could be the last."

She smiled, "I got n-n-nothing to worrrry ab-ab-ab-about, Ka-ka-ka-ka-kazuki." Enju was trembling a bit, but is open to Kazuki for something special. "Hold me."

She cuddled by him, as they kissed together. Enju whispered, "I want you."

He whispered, "Oh, Enju."

Meanwhile, in another room, Lily was in her light blue pajamas, brushing her hair. She whispered, "I need to focus. There's a ghost of a murderer in the house, and we have to remain vigilant."

In Nanao's room, she was topless, as she saw her huge breasts. She sighed, "Hmmmngh… only a C-Cup. B, maybe. I'm so petite. I wish I had bigger boobs like Enju's."

She clutched her left breast, as Tengge walked past the door, moaning in pleasure. She went to her room, as Ricka's stomach growled in her room. Ricka moaned, "Fried noodle hot dog."

Myu smiled, as she said, "Sure. I think we have one more, Ricka-senpai. But we have to get to sleep, soon!"

Ricka said, "Fried noodle hot dogs, soothe all nerves."

Myu giggled nervously, "If you say so."

Myu left to the kitchen, as Yamabuki was watching out the window, in her room. She heard the piano playing, and she gasped, "What was that?"

Everyone stepped out, as Akari asked, "Nanao? Is that you?"

Ricka asked, "Hm? Music?"

Enju said, as she was in her underwear, "It came from over there."

He said, "Come on!"

Tengge giggled, "mmmmm, naughty kids."

He panicked, as he blushed, "C-C-Come on! It's not what you think!"

Enju blushed, "KYAAAAAAAA! DON'T LOOK AT ME!" She turned to him, "LOOK AWAY! HENTAI!"

Myu cried, "Senpai, stop! We have to search inside!"

Akari said, "Right. I'll find out what goes on in the piano room."

They suddenly approached Lily's room, and Ricka gasped, "Door open!"

Kazuki asked, "That's Lily's Room!"

They rushed inside, and they all shrieked. Lily was sitting in her chair, limp and ragged, with her eyes dilated and her neck slit open. Akari sobbed, "Li-! LILY!"

Myu felt her pulse, and then the wound, "Piano wire. He thought it was her singing."

Enju sobbed, "Lily's dead?" She wailed, "LILY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Outside in the lobby, Nanao and Yamabuki were away from the horror show, as Yamabuki barked, "How is my boobs smaller than yours?"

Nanao roared, "Because YOU are a B-Cup! I can't wait to laugh at you, knowing how much of your groping moments! You realize that you are smaller than me!"

"And here I thought you'd be the smallest, when we know it's Cy-Cy!"

"Yeah, but she's an android! And a child!" She smirked, "But, at least now I know how I feel, because YOU are the smallest of big boobies!"

Yamabuki gasped, "Take it back!"

"NO!"

"TAKE IT BACK!"

Yamabuki strangled Nanao in the neck, as Tengge and Akari separated them. Akari cried, "What happened?"

Nanao roared, "YOU TELL ME! Little Miss Small Boobs just assaulted me!"

"Small Boobs! YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!" Yamabuki roared, "I'm tired of your whining and your moaning and bitching, face facts, Lettuce Head! You're smaller than I am!"

Nanao shoved her, and she roared, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU, YAMABUKI! YOU'RE NOT MY FRIEND, ANYMORE!" She ran off, as Yamabuki asked, "Who needs her? What did I miss?"

Kazuki sobbed, "Lily's dead."

Yamabuki gasped, as Myu whispered, "So, it began, did it?"

Nanao was crying in her room, as she looked at herself. She whispered, "My boobs aren't that big. Are they?"

She pouted, as she held her chest. But then, a figure removed her pajamas, showing her bare boobs. Nanao was being groped, moaning in pleasure. As she was moaning, Nanao moans and heaves in a squeal, but then…

STAB!
Nanao gasps in horror, as her eyes rolled up.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Yamabuki poured some water in a basin, and washed her face with the water. As she was soaking herself, she suddenly screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

The rest of the Ninja Seeking Club ran up, but Kazuki stopped Enju. He said, "Better not. Better not go up there!"

Akari, Myu, & Tengge arrived at the bathroom, as Yamabuki was screaming in fright and pain, as her face was melting off, bleeding out and burning. Tengge approached her, but Akari shouted, "DON'T TOUCH HER! DON'T TOUCH HER, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!"

Yamabuki's hands were hissing, as Yamabuki starts to lower her screams. She limped down and collapsed, dead, as her face was burned alive, melting most of her skin off. Yamabuki was victim #3 in the manor. Kazuki arrived, as he screamed, "YAMABUKI!"

Tengge pushed him out and cried, "NO! DON'T LOOK!"

Akari yelled, "GET HIM OUT OF HERE!"

Akari checked the basin and asked, "What the-? The water?"

Myu said, "Vitriol! Yamabuki-senpai was washing her face with vitriolic acid, instead of water!"

Ricka shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Myu cried, "RICKA-SENPAI!"

Ricka yelled, "NANAO! DEAD! DEAAAAAAAAAAAD!"

They all gasped, as Nanao was lying faced down, topless, with a dagger in her back, and her breasts smooshed down on the vanity mirror.

Akari sobbed, "No… And Nanao never got a chance to heal her, in time."

XXXXX

Kazuki and Enju were saddened, as Enju sobbed, dressed in her purple attire, "Why is this happening? Lily's dead, Kashima-san's dead, and now Suou-san's dead! My birthday is ruined! My friends are all dead!"

Myu said, "It's alright. It was supposed to be a night of fun, but this night of fun is just simply... a nightmare."

Ricka grumbled, as she munched on her fried noodle hot dog, "Should've left, but no. Stayed to fight ghost."

Kazuki said, "Don't talk with your mouth full."

Enju wept, "Why is this happening now? I wanna go home! it was supposed to be my birthday! But now, I don't understand!"

Akari said, "It's okay, Enju. Kazuki, leave her with me."

He nodded and left, as Ricka starts choking. Myu said, "Ricka-senpai?"

He said, "CHEW! Chew with your mouth closed, Ricka!" He sighed, "You never learn."

Ricka started to gag and choke, as her eyes bugged out. Akari cried, "RICKA?"

Ricka held her throat, trying to remove the hot dog from her mouth, as Enju cried, "KAZUKI! KAZUKIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Ricka convulsed, and then stopped moving, losing the hot dog from her mouth. Myu removed it from the mouth, as Kazuki returned and said, "I'll get Tengge! You watch over Ricka!"

He rushed off, as Akari hugs Enju. Akari sobbed, "There, there. It's alright. Don't look. Ricka's gone. She's gone."

Myu cried, "I don't get it! I made a fresh sandwich for her! This is terrible!" She stopped, as she gasped, "Look! A panel!"

She saw a bookcase, which shows a secret panel behind the wall. She grabbed some candles and said, "That must be how they got her and the others."

Kazuki & Tengge returned, as Tengge shrieked, "RICKA!"

Enju sobbed, "Machiyuki-san! Noooooooooo! Not you, too!" She cried, as Akari said, "She was poisoned. Is there no end to it?"

Tengge cried, "We gotta get out of here!"

Kazuki yelled, "HOW? How are we going to do that? We're miles away from civilization, our cellphones won't work, and Lily, Yamabuki, Nanao, AND Ricka! They're dead!"

Enju roared, "And how's that gonna help us, you bastard? Poisoned fried noodle hot dogs, water basin filled with vitriol acid, that stupid effigy upstairs-!"

"What'll we do, if he gets all of us? If one of us survives, the curse is broken!"

"Yeah, but then our friends are dead forever! Have you not think of it?"

Tengge said, "Enju's right! How could you say something so heartless?"

Akari gasped, "Wait, we're missing Hotaru. You don't think-."

Kazuki said, "No, I don't think so. But I say we find him, before he finds us. You forget. We have him outnumbered. And god knows where Hotaru went. For all we know, she could be the murderer! She was nowhere, when our friends died!"

Myu said, "Right. Two of us go inside, two of us wait here, and we'll find our murderer!"

Kazuki said, "Yes. Let's go. I'm going in."

Enju said, "I'm coming with you!"

Tengge said, "I'll wait out in the halls!"

Myu said, "I'm with you senpais. To hell with waiting! That ghost will get his, for killing Ricka-senpai!"

Kazuki said, "Right, let's go!"

They went inside, as Akari said, "Myu, the final destination befalls you, right?"

She smirked, as Myu whimpered, "Haaaaaau…"

Akari chose to stay behind, alongside Tengge. Kazuki, Myu, & Enju walked inside the secret panel, and then walked into a dark hallway. They were armed with candles, as Kazuki whispered, "Enju, Myu, stay by my side."

Enju nodded, "Right. If we see that ghost or our murderer, we'll make a quiet signal."

Myu agreed, "Hau, r-r-r-right. I'll do my best. It's m-my fault I mentioned it."

He smiled, "No one blames you. Blame the asshole that killed our friends!"

Enju shrieked, as a rat scattered by. She calmed down, as they split up. Enju was lost in the dark, as Myu sobbed, "I must confess that I'm sorry for what happened, Enju-senpai. Whatever happens, we will avenge our friends, all those who died, especially on your birthday. I've never been this courageous, but I will try, senpai. But I understand, this whole thing has been disconcerting. It's a terrible thing, living in a state of fear."

Enju whispered, "It's alright, Myu. I'm with you now-."

The candles went out, as she gasped, "M-Myu? Myu?! Ka-, Kazuki? Kazuki, where are you?"

He called out, "Hold on! Stay where you are! I'll come back!"

He walked forward, as Enju cried, "HERE! I'm over here!" She gasped, as a rat scampered by.

She searched in the dark, and then found a lone arm. She cuddled the arm and whispered, "Kazuki. Oh, Kazuki, you came, my love. I was so frightened."

Kazuki called, "Enju? Did you see anything?"

Enju gasped, as she whispered, "Kazuki? Then… … … Then who's-?"

Kazuki appeared, "ENJU! Where are you?"

"OVER HERE!" She cried. "QUICK! WHERE'S THE LIGHT?"

He shone the light at Enju, and then…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Enju shrieked in bloody terror, as they found Myu, hanging in a noose, dangling in the ceiling. Someone, in the dark, killed Myu Momochi! Kazuki held Enju and whispered, "Don't look! Don't look. No. Don't look. Come on, let's get out of here."

Enju wept, as they departed from the underground area. Kazuki said to Enju, "I'm going to check upstairs, Enju. You tell Akari about Myu. Okay?" He kissed her and said, "It's alright, baby."

Enju wept, "I wanna go home… Kazuki…"

"I know. Go."

She left, as Kazuki went upstairs. He called out, "Hotaru, I don't know what's going on here, but Lily, Myu, Ricka, Yamabuki, & Nanao are all dead! What the hell's going on here?"

He paused, as he sniffed some blood and gasped, "What the-? It's coming from in that room."

He went to the room, about to open the door.

XXXXX

Akari barked, "So! Lily, then Nanao, then Yamabuki, then Ricka, and now Myu! Enju, Tengge, I'm shaken by this! One of us could be next! What'll we do?"

Enju said, "Calm down! Kazuki will find the answer, once he heads upstairs. I don't think it's Kokonohi-san, since she's vanished."

Tengge asked, "What happened to Myu?"

"Hanged. She was hanged above the ceiling, and her neck snapped." Enju said.

Akari sobbed, "It's over."

"Destiny and retribution are somewhat interrelated, aren't they?" Tengge asked. She smirked, "But then again, you and I both know what happened to Hotaru, right, Akari?"

Akari gasped, "Eh? Tengge, what are you saying?"

Tengge smirked, as she evilly grinned, "You're right. There is a curse. What did you do, Akari?"

Akari cringed, "Wha-? What are you saying?"

Tengge smiled, "Yes. There was no ghost. It was a fable I created that piqued interest in Myu's ghost story queue."

Akari was trembling, as Enju gasped, "Oh, my god. It was you? Tengge-san?"

Tengge grinned, "Yes, you know how long it's been, since I ever saw you? Not once you ever cared for me, after I was injured, and the Yatagarasu took me away." She barked, "NOT ONE OF YOU BITCHES! You left me there to die! You never cared for me!"

Akari cried, "THAT IS NOT TRUE!"

Enju said, "But, why? Tengge… why did you kill all of them?"

Tengge confessed, "I only killed Yamabuki, in secret. And in months I waited, I waited for the final moments of this revenge."

Akari cried, "But I thought we were friends!"

Tengge cried, "FRIENDS?! A simple village girl… that 14-year old boy… I was there, when I saw that image of the past, that your ancestors caused. You killed that boy, after he killed that village girl. There were no Brisbanes. The Hanao and Saion-Ji Clans… they executed him. Just like how… you killed Nanao."

Akari confessed, "How was I supposed to know? Nanao's got bigger boobs than Yamabuki's?! No, I couldn't take it! I was sick of her whining about how big her boobs are! Enju and I, look at us! We're E-Cups!"

Enju gasped, "No! Akari? Tengge? What's going on here?

Tengge hissed, "You girls are perverted. You would cast down upon justice, when that village girl was killed. Why was she killed, and I'm taken my revenge on you? Simple… … … She was my ancestor! A YOMODA! YOU DID NOTHING TO SAVE THAT GIRL!"

XXXXX

Kazuki gasped, as Hotaru was in a sitting position, on the wall, covered in blood. A long sword was impaled into her chest and stomach, and was bleeding heavily. Kazuki leaned down and whispered, "Hotaru… no…" He sobbed, but then looked down at her bloodied right hand, as it wrote down the name of the murderer.

"Tengge-san?"

XXXXX

Tengge grabbed a battle-axe from a suit of armor and hissed, "This is my revenge, for what you did to that girl. Your ancestors, they let him killed that girl, because of you. The boy was a suitor! And you let him kill her! YOU DID NOTHING, UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE! Brisbanes in the manor, killing a 14-year old, after he impregnated her, this was all a set-up, for you to be exposed. And now, I will lay down the law… as judge, jury, and executioner!"

She swung at Akari, as Enju shrieked, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

CHOP!
Akari screamed, as Tengge chopped down onto her stomach. Akari screamed, gagging in pain, as she was being chopped alive. Enju shrieked, as she ran off. Tengge stopped, as Akari was dead. Tengge went ballistic. She stepped out, as she held the bloodied axe in her hands.

"KAZUKI! KAZUKI!" Enju shrieked in fright.

Kazuki cried, "ENJU!"

Tengge stepped out, covered in blood, as Tengge went to Enju, who tripped down onto the stairs. Tengge hissed, as she went up the stairs. She said, "To think, Enju Saion-Ji, that I was ever your friend!"

Enju pleaded, "T-Tengge-san, please no! This is not the way!"

Tengge roared, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU BITCH!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tengge raised the axe high.

"LEAVE HER ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!" Kazuki grabbed Tengge from behind and tried to stop her from killing Enju.

"NO! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"

"STOP IT!"

Tengge socked his face and started to strangulate his neck. He started to fade, as Tengge hissed, "Die! DIE! DIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"

Kazuki's breathing started to fade, and his arms went limp. Enju sobbed, "No, Kazuki… Kazuki… Nooooooooooo!"

Kazuki fell to the ground, unconscious, as Tengge smirked, "He's not dead yet. But soon, you will join him in Hell!"

He was getting up, but Tengge removed her bra, and then used it as a rope, strangulating his neck. Kazuki was gagging for air, as Tengge was holding the bra into his neck. Kazuki's eyes went crossed, and his body fell dead. Enju wept, as she was crying, seeing Kazuki die. Tengge threw the bra down and huffed, "Heh… Serves you right. Pervert."

She then said, "Where were we?" She picked up the axe, and prepared to swing down on Enju. Enju cried, "NO! NOOOOOO! TENGGE-SAN, PLEASE, I'M SORRY!"

"Too late!" Tengge raised the axe high, "DIE!"

Kazuki's eyes opened, and then kicked Tengge on the stomach. She stumbled down the stairs, axe in hand, and landed on the ground. Enju hugged Kazuki, and then wept, "I thought you were dead!"

He said, "I faked it. Tengge, why?"

Tengge was slowly getting up, as the axe was impaled into her chest. Kazuki sobbed, "Oh, god. Tengge-san, why? I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. I understand everything. I know the truth! I know how long you suffered."

Tengge sniffled, as she was leaking blood from her mouth, "Do you understand? Do you… understand, Kazuki Araya… what human emotion feels like?" She dropped to her knees and fell dead. Enju wept, as she hugged him. He said, "It's over. It's all over, Enju."

She sobbed, "It was all a set-up. There was no Brisbanes. It was Tengge's doing, for revenge on her ancestor, the girl that was killed by that 14-year old boy. My god, why? Everyone I know and love, they're dead. They're all dead."

Kazuki said, "It's alright. Hotaru is dead, too. I found her, in a bloodied mess."

Enju wept, "No… Why?"

Kazuki said, "I figured it out. I know exactly what happened. Tengge-san, she wasn't really the murderer. Everyone had a part, and they killed each other."

Enju gasped, "Huh? Wait, what are you talking about? Tengge said that SHE killed Akari AND Suou-san! Akari killed Myu!"

He brandished a gun, and he said, "No. There's more."

Enju gasped, as she fell on her butt. She sobbed, "Kazuki? Oh, no… You mean… It was you? you set this all up?"

Kazuki grinned, "Dirty secrets done dirt cheap. Yes, I did it all. You see, all I was… is the puppet master, behind your deaths."

Enju wailed, "KAZUKI, WHY? I LOVE YOU!"

He said, "Why? Oh, I had ways. When we said that we were going to share a night together on your birthday, well, I thought I invite the rest of the girls and friends. Sadly, Johnny had a stomach cramp, and Cy had a malfunction and broke down. So, you girls will have to do. I staged the phony horror myth to Myu, and convinced Tengge into believing that the girl that died was her ancestor, and that the ninjas who were the Brisbanes were the Hanao and Saion-Ji Clan. And the rest played out. The girls learned of the original phony myth, and believed that the place was haunted. And then, oh, the deaths. The bloodshed galore."

He explained, "First, I secretly cut off the tires to the car we came in, and pretended that the murderer slashed off the tires. Then, I played the horror show, as the girls acted out. And the body count happened, after Yamabuki came in. Lily was the first to go, when Yamabuki choked her alive with the piano wires. At the same time, Akari snuck in and killed Nanao, after her fight with Yamabuki, and left her topless and humbled. HAH! At least she's bigger than Yamabuki's. Before all that happened, Lily switched the water in the basin with Vitriol, and had someone die, by washing their hands or face. Yamabuki was the unlucky one. And Myu, well, she was the one that gave Ricka the poison fried noodle hot dog. Upon the discovery of our secret panel, the lights went out, and you and Myu were lost in the dark. You see, who killed poor ol' Myu? Hmm…"

Enju sobbed, "It was you. You killed her?"

He nodded, "And Tengge acted out the rest, and killed Akari. She didn't kill Yamabuki. Lily did, before she died. And just as how I planned it. They all died, because of me."

Enju gasped, "But wait! How did Kokonohi-san died? How was she a victim to this, if you found her body?"

Kazuki smirked, "Well, as it turns out, Hotaru wrote down Tengge's name… but in reality, Ricka did it, all before the murders started. So, basically, all of the Ninja Seeking Club had a hand at killing each other. Ricka killed Hotaru, Yamabuki killed Lily, Akari killed Nanao, Lily killed Yamabuki, Myu killed Ricka, then I killed Myu, and while that happened, Tengge killed Akari, and I saved you. And now that everyone else is dead… … …all of our friends of the Ninja Seeking Club, it's your turn."

He aimed his gun at her, and she pleaded, "NO! Wait, Kazuki, why? Why would you do all this?"

"Why? I'll tell you why. Because you never listen. You never cared about my safety. ALL YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WAS YOURSELF! You, Enju, you did all this. Akari, Ricka, Myu, Tengge, everyone! They all died, because of you!" He barked, as he was upset. He grinned evilly, "And now, you die."

"Kazuki, no… Please… Don't kill me!" Enju pleaded, with tears flowing down her face, "Kazuki, listen to me. I'm sorry."

"Like hell I believe you!"

"I mean it! I'm sorry for the way I treated you! I'm sorry I hurt you badly! And I'm sorry that I was a jerk to you! I'm sorry that you were always a hentai, even though you are still! But I never meant it! I'm sorry! I'M SORRY! I LOVE YOU!"

Enju wept, as she was breathing heavily, with tears in her eyes, rolling down her face, "I love you! Kazuki, I love you! I love you… … …"

Kazuki closed his eyes and said, "I love you, too, Enju. Forgive me. But this is the end. Once you die, I am free."

Enju sobbed, as she murmured in sobs, "No, Kazuki, no, please don't kill me… No, no, no… I'm sorry…" She continued to cry, as Kazuki pulled the trigger. He finished, "One last thing, before you die… … … Happy birthday."

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

BANG!
And that was it. Kazuki fired the trigger at Enju. Enju's eyes widened, after the gunshot, as the gun shot out… … …a small cloth that says "Happy Birthday". Enju's tear-soaked face was covered in confetti, as Kazuki smiled to her, "Happy Birthday, Enju~!"

He called out, "Alright, guys, that's a wrap!"

Enju was confused, as she asked, "What the-? What the hell?"

Three girls entered, as one has long black hair done in a samurai ponytail, wearing a black shirt and white pants. She called, "Kazuki-dono, did it work? It was so convincing."

One girl was in light brown hair, with a left side ponytail, wearing an orange shirt, called out, "Onii-chan! We did it! Enju got it?"

And one was with short white hair and wearing a blue outfit, called out, "Is it over?"

Enju gasped, "Wha-? Mashiro? Tojo-san? CY?"

Tengge sat up and smiled, "Gotcha~!"

Enju gasped in shock, "Te-, Tengge-san?! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"

Akari appeared, with a gash on her stomach and cheered, "It's our birthday gift to you!"

Ricka walked in, unfazed, and said, "Mission accomplished."

Myu smiled, wearing the noose around her neck, "Senpais, good work! That was fun!"

Nanao moaned, as she was in her clothes, "Man, that was so embarrassing."

Yamabuki appeared, in her disfigured face and said, "Yeah. You thought it was acid? Nope, it was soapy water, fam!" She removed her disfigured facial skin, revealing her face to be good as new.

Lily arrived, as she was with Hotaru, covered in blood. Lily said, "Happy birthday, Enju!"

Hotaru winked, "Yeah! Gotcha good, girlfriend!"

Enju cried, "WAIT! You're all still alive? ALL THIS TIME?"

Sebastian the Butler appeared, as he grinned to Enju. Enju asked, "Wait, Kokonohi-san? Your butler was in on this, too?"

Hotaru said, "Like, no. He was totally busy."

Sebastian said, "Tis true, Enju. But that doesn't mean I'm not invited to your party." He did a quick change into a girl in ash gray hair and an eyepatch, wearing a black dress.

Kazuki said, "See? Even the Hag was in this, all along."

Enju gasped, "Kikuko-san?!"

Kikuko smiled, "Yep. I heard of the lad's surprise party, and I wanted in. So, I posed as Hotaru's handsome butlers. Surprise!"

Enju was so confused. Kazuki smiled, "Surprised, are you?"

The girls cheered, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ENJU!"

Enju moaned, "I am so confused."

A boy in blonde hair and tan skin, wearing a green jacket and jeans called, "Sorry I'm late, guys! Did I make it to the show?"

Enju gasped, "JOHNNY, TOO?!"

Nanao said, "No, he was, but-."

Yamabuki barked, "He had something up!"

Kazuki huffed, "You're late, Johnny!"

Akari smiled, "Game over, Johnny."

Myu said, "But you're just in time for the party, Johnny-senpai."

Johnny cheered, "Aw, score! YAY!" He hugged Kazuki, as he said, "Alright, alright, stop crying!"

Enju asked, "Wait… WHAT party?" She screamed, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? YOU MEAN… This whole thing… WAS FAKE?"

The others nodded in unison, as Kazuki smiled, "Yep."

Enju giggled, as she suddenly laughed in tears. She laughed, "You guys are so wonderful!" She was crying, as she was laughing and crying, at the same time. Kazuki hugged her, as Enju was crying. She was happy that everyone's still alive.

At the party, moments later, everyone was having a couple drinks together, and having cake. They were having a conversation.

Nanao was talking with Yamabuki, "So, basically, I was skeptical about my boobs being the same as yours, so I asked Cy to measure mine with yours, for the scripted fight."

Yamabuki sighed, "Yeah. I can't believe my boobs and butt were 1cm below!"

Nanao smirked, "Hah! Serves you right. Now I'm proudly happy to say that I'm bigger than THE Yamabuki Suou!"

Yamabuki huffed, "Don't count your chickens, Kashima! You're still smaller than the rest, fam!"

Nanao huffed, "Bitch."

Setsuna talked with Lily & Tengge. Setsuna said, "Tengge-dono, your performance at the end was breathtaking. I liked how you were able to let out your angry side."

"Well, I'm not always angry, Setsuna. I have been calm and cool about it." Tengge giggled.

Lily sighed, "That's how it is. In acting, she acts like she is in a whole new world, but here, she's herself, being all sexy and alluring."

Tengge winked, "I can't help it, Lily. Men are all into me."

Setsuna blushed, "So big."

Mashiro was with Hotaru and Myu, as she said, "So, did Ricka actually choke?"

Hotaru said, "Well, she was, at first, but when she calmed down after the first bite, like, Myu-Myu decided to improvise Rickie's death scene."

Myu nodded, "Hau, that's right. Ricka-senpai knew we were acting, after all."

They saw Ricka devour the huge pile of Fried Noodle Hot Dogs, one-by-one, as Myu concluded, "Though, she does have an iron stomach, when it comes to those food delicacies."

Enju was with Akari, Kazuki, & Cy. Enju smiled and said, "So, lemme get this straight: You staged a phony horror story and made it into a ninja-styled murder theme for me?"

Akari said, "It was all my idea, and Myu's, since she loves horror."

Cy said, "Onii-chan and the udders wud never kill each udder."

Enju giggled, "I should've guessed. I'm relieved that you guys are okay. But wait… John was sick, and Cy broke down!"

Cy replied, "Id wuzza fib. Id wuz all ac-ding."

Kazuki giggled, "See, Enju? We did all this for you."

They continued talking, as the girls were discussing what happened.

Lily said to Tengge, "Congratulation on that fall, Tengge."

Tengge smiled, "I have practiced. But then again, I've been in the battlefield, for so long."

Lily said, "Well, you were a pro ninja."

Yamabuki said to Nanao, "You know, the hardest part was the makeup I had on, to simulate the gore on my face. It took me an hour to get it off, since Cy-Cy & Hotaru got it on for me."

Nanao smirked, "Indeed. I wish I had that meat in me. Was it a pain?"

Yamabuki said, "Yep. At least the magic was that the soapy water made the hissing effects look real."

Nanao said, "Yeah, my voice hurt, after I was shouting with you."

Myu giggled, "I really cried, during the end. But I was giving it my all to act, including how scared I was."

Setsuna smiled, "You were very convincing, Myu-Dono. I wish I was a part of this."

Cy said, "May-gup and effecks were weal-iz-tic. Hotawu wuz always a master at may-gup."

Hotaru winked, "Like, I am a pro at cosmetic magic."

Kazuki smirked, to Enju, "You really did fall for it, did ya?"

Enju smiled, "Yeah, I sure did." She glared, "You really are a hentai. And a bastard! You know that?"

He said, "I deserve worse. What did you expect?"

She calmed down and said, "But I guess I deserved all that. It was very convincing, you guys."

Akari smiled, "Well, thanks. That's what friends are for. We did it all for you."

Enju smiled, "Yeah… it felt all so real. I was convinced."

Hotaru laughed, "Like, you made a wonderful performance, Enju. And you totally had no clue it was an act." She giggled, "Why, I should invite YTG8 to join in on the fun."

Kazuki said, "Yeah, doubt it."

Hotaru left with Cy, as Kikuko went to them, "Oi, lad. Did I do a smashing job?"

Kazuki said, "Yep. Thanks for the last-minute casting, Hag."

She smirked, "Anytime. I always wanted to play in drag, like you, boy."

Enju giggled, "It was convincing, yes. So, you were in on this, at the end?"

Kazuki said, "I was against her joining us, but since Johnny ran late, The Old Hag was a last-minute replacement."

Kikuko smiled, "Plus, I've always wanted to play Ikemen. Ah, tis long since I was acting."

Kazuki thought, "I wished that you remembered, Hag."

Enju looked around, as all her friends were talking together, having fun. She then said to herself, "I'm glad it wasn't real. I am proud to have such great friends in the Ninja Seeking Club and outside of it."

Kazuki asked, "You okay?"

Enju gasped, "Oh! Uh, nothing. Just a thought."

Kazuki smiled, "It was fun, wasn't it?"

Enju said, "Yes, indeed. But still…" she glared at him, "Never do it again."

Akari said, "Enju, you're not angry, are you?"

Enju said, "No, I'm not. You really did something for me, Akari. Kazuki. Everyone. You really got me good. And I was worried that I'd lost all of you, forever."

Kazuki smiled, as he said, "We all love you, Enju. We really do."

Akari smiled, "We do."

He kissed her and said, "Happy birthday, Enju."

Enju smiled, "Aw, Kazuki. I love you so much. All of you."

Everyone cheered on, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY~!"

Enju had a wonderful birthday party with all her friends. Despite that the story ended with everyone dead, and that it was all a joke, Enju was happy to have great friends.

At her room, the next morning, Enju sat down and relaxed in her bed. She smiled, "What a wonderful experience. Somehow, I really cared about my friends. It's just some hoax that seemed real. But I like it. Kazuki, he's a true friend. He planned all this, I bet, from the start, as everyone had a part. Cy did the special effects, and Tojo-san and Mashiro set up the blood splatter as Myu tells them, and the rest, they just acted out how it went. A bit confusing on the whole scenario of a mansion that harbors a curse, and led to the girls killing each other. Well, it was a lot of fun."

She reached for the box and asked, "Hm? Oh, yeah. This is Tengge-san's present. I wonder if it's a prop. I never opened it."

She opened the gift and saw what was inside. It was a small yellow pendant with a lightning bolt inside the gem. Smiling with happiness, Enju whispered, "Thank you, guys."

Kazuki was by Enju's door, as he called, "Enju! You okay in there?"

She said, "OH! Kazuki, wh-what a surprise!"

She blushed, as he said, "Wanna walk to school together?"

She said, "Yeah. Sure."

They walked together, heading to school. They were completely silent. Enju asked, as she was worried, "Kazuki."

"Yeah?"

"About what you said, when you used that prop gun to shoot me… You didn't mean that, did you?"

He asked, "Huh?"

She whispered, "What you said about me, last night… Was it all true? Or was it all an act?"

He paused and said, "Well, no, but… I kinda did improvise, when I was about to shoot you." He then confessed, "Okay, I'll let it go on this one. That was an ad-lib, and… … … I did say mostly every word, Enju." He cried, "Alright, fine! I admit it! You always bully me and lecture me for no good reason! That hurts me, inside!"

She nodded, "I see. That's how you feel then? Then, I promise." She held his hand and whispered, "Never again. I won't hurt you anymore. Ever again. I'll use my lightning on you, whenever the battle goes on. But I won't use it on you, as a way of chastising you, anymore."

He smiled, as he whispered, "Yeah, thanks. I may need your lightning, someday. I'm happy just being with you, Enju."

She sternly said, "BUT! Don't expect me to not lecture you, now and then, for your foolish mistakes, like studying, forgetting your textbooks, or being late for school. I'm coming at you, like a rocket."

"Right. I'll, uh, keep that in mind."

Enju blushed, as she giggled, "Ka-, Kazuki, thank you. You're a nice guy. Uh, well, not that it matters to you, anyways! I only did it, because I-."

"Enju, shut up!" He said, as he leaned to her, "You're acting from tsun to dere, again."

Enju was appalled, as she let go of Kazuki's hand. She screamed, "What the hell do you mean by that, you hentai?"

She chased after Kazuki, as he laughed, "Catch me if you can!"

"Ohhh, you rotten jerk!" She yelled, as she was chasing him.

As she was chasing Kazuki, she let out a huge smile, knowing that she is spending time with the one boy that she loves. And that's all that matters to her now.
