I don't own Corpse Party.
"So, who do you think it is?" Naomi asked.
"I think it's Seiko."
"I thought so," Ayumi said, nodding.
"So the person that's Hikaru really is Seiko in disguise?" Naomi asked.
"That is what I believe anyways."
Suddenly, the door to the safe room slammed shut. Everyone turned around to see Seiko standing there, an unnatural smile on her face. She looked at them and said, "So you found out. I'm so proud of you. But you aren't even close to who I am."
Naomi gasped, and ran to Seiko. She stopped when she was close enough to see the bruises on Seiko's neck. It was almost as if Seiko was just a reanimated corpse. There also seemed to be purplish bruises all over her, even on her uniform.
"Seiko's darkened!"
Seiko ran towards Naomi at an incredibly fast pace, and shoved her. Naomi fell to the ground, hitting her head. Gasping, she turned to Seiko and cried, "Why are you doing this? Who are you?"
"I am Seiko too."
The door on the saferoom opened again, and Hikaru popped her head into the room. She looked at Seiko, and she frowned. "Seiko~, that's not nice," she said in a singsong voice.
"You aren't nice. You left the other half of you to rot in Heavenly Host, and forgot all about her," she said, chasing Ayumi.
Ayumi tripped (really nice cliche), and tried to crawl towards Hikaru. Seiko stepped on her back with enough force to crack someone's arm.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Ayumi yelled, crying.
Seiko, having injured Naomi and Ayumi enough to keep them down, started running towards Morishige. He started running. "Too slow!" Seiko yelled, laughing as she ran within a foot of him. While she was doing so, though, a white light shone through Morishige's phone down on her, and an arm blocked her. Morishige, Naomi, and Ayumi stared as Nekori formed purely out of the white light. Nekori knocked Seiko down, and started advancing towards Hikaru, who was currently in a semi-conscious state.
"I'm sorry about lying. We are illusions, but we have our own minds. Seiko created us to store her memories of the two worlds she inhabited for some time. She occupied your world for a long time, and then was forced to stay in Heavenly Host. Shannon already did her job and restored her memories, by the look of it. But Seiko made me disappear before I was able to give her memories back to her. I hid a part of me in your phone, just in case though."
Seiko stared at Nekori, unable to fathom how she came back. After hearing all that, her face contorted and she spat out the word, "You...!"
Nekori stared back, and responded, "Yes, me." She slowly walked towards Hikaru, who was still in a semi-conscious state, and pressed her hands to Hikaru's head. Hikaru slowly woke up, and stared around. She still looked like herself, but a bit jaded.
"I..."
Everyone stared at her.
"I remember what happened in there."
Flashback (Seiko's POV)
I was able to save Naomi, thank God. I want her to live.
But I won't see her again.
But she'll be able to live.
You won't be able to see any of your friends again.
Who are you anyways?
I am you, and at the same time, not you.
Nonsense. I would never force my friends to stay back with me! They deserve the chance to live!
They can live with you, if you create your own world.
They... they can?
Yes. If you give me part of you, I'll create you your own world.
Okay. By the way, what's your name?
My name? My name's the Darkening.
Nice to meet you. Are you going to create me anew?
Yes. I just want part of your soul.
I understand. I accept.
A mist formed around me, enveloping me. I felt a horrible ripping sensation, as if one half of me is dead. And then the half of me left started transforming. I started to grow cat ears. My hair got longer. My eyes seemed to change.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?! THIS WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL!
So what if I omitted a few things? You'll be able to read what goes on in the world I'm creating for you. You'll be the god of your world.
BUT I WANT MY FRIENDS TO RECOGNIZE ME!
It's better this way.
I was taken to another world. At first, I kept on trying to recover the half of me I gave away, but I realized my efforts were futile and gave up. I often suspected back then that the other half of me, the evil me, would try to come here. So I tried to make it possible that they wouldn't know me.
I gave my memories to two of my own creations, Nekori and Shannon, in the hopes that this would make it easier for me to combat her, should the need arise.
Then I hid a charm in a book, and started keeping watch over them all. It was always interesting. Then Naomi and Ayumi got their hands on the book I hid the charm in. I hid it with a story in the hopes that they would use it.
I only wanted to be with them again.
Hikaru stared at Seiko and started getting ready to fight. She yelled to Nekori, "Get ready and get the others out of here! I doubt that the world will still be intact after fighting her."
Nekori yelled back, "I understand!" She raced to Naomi and picked her up, and Morishige picked up Ayumi. They both ran out of the safe room.
Once outside, Morishige gasped. The walls were peeling off, and there were nails sticking out of the floor. Nekori just took this in stride and ran over the nails. Morishige, after some hesitation, followed her.
Once they reached the place where everyone slept, they were greeted by Shannon, who had already woken up everyone. "I sensed the shift and realized Seiko had finally revealed herself. Then I restored Hikaru's memories and got the people up," she said in explanation.
Yoshiki walked to Morishige, and said, "Thank you." Then he picked up Ayumi himself, bridal style.
"Shannon filled us in on what was going on. Why didn't you tell me anything, Shige-nii?"
"I wanted to keep you safe," he answered, hugging Mayu.
Shannon and Nekori looked at each other, and Shannon tooted her airhorn in her hand.
All eyes landed on the two. Nekori said, "We have to go. The world is getting less stable by the second. Come on!"
Shannon opened a door in the wall, and all of them ran through the door. Yuka tripped a lot, so Yuuya just picked her up instead and carried her.
After running and finding a door, they felt an earthquake, and some of the lights on the ceiling fell and cracked. Yui started pushing everyone through, yelling, "GO!"
They ran through, and went through a portal. All woke up to find themselves back in the same classroom which had started these adventures, plus Yuuya.
Everything was silent for a moment. Then the cheers started.
"WE'RE BACK!"
"I'm NOT DEAD!"
"HALLELUJAH!"
Naomi then woke up, and immediately asked, "Where's Seiko? Did she make it?"
That one put a damper on everyone's good mood, and they all went home.
Naomi, once she was home, went immediately to her bedroom, and sat on her bed. She just couldn't believe it. Seiko had...
"Waaaaaaaaaaaah!" She cried, and reached into her pocket for a hankerchief.
Then she felt a fluttering of paper. She took it out to see the list of Ayumi's traits. Instead of the traits, it said, "Bye, Naomi. I'll miss you. I promise that one day we will meet again, though."
"Sei..."
... And so this chapter ends.
I feel like this is demanding a sequel.
Please review! Criticism is accepted and added, just don't be too harsh!
Seeyas!
