Hey everyone, sorry I took so long before continuing this, but there was a slight problem that prevented me from updating, I had a sheet of paper with all the information written on it about the fic and which characters I was gonna include (Because it gets confusing needing to remember so many Japanese names), and unfortunately, I lost the sheet. Recently, I found the sheet and copied the information onto my computer incase I lost the sheet again (I did), so now I can update again, hopefully, this time it won't take me nearly a year before I upload the next chapter

Tomomi was sitting in the park one day, it was Saturday, so there was no school today.
"Hey Tomomi" said someone
Tomomi looked to see Naoki.
"Hello there Naoki" said Tomomi
"I didn't expect to see you here" said Naoki
"Same here" said Tomomi
"So, how are you?" asked Naoki
"I'm alright, and you?" asked Tomomi
"I'm good" said Naoki
Naoki and Tomomi chatted together in the park for a bit, later, Naoki realised he had to get going.
"I better be heading home, I'll see you at school" said Naoki
"Alright" said Tomomi
Naoki went to leave.
"Naoki..." said Tomomi
Naoki stopped and looked back at Tomomi.
"...Be careful, it may have already started" said Tomomi
"What are you talking about?" asked Naoki
"Don't worry about it, see you in school" said Tomomi, walking away
==Monday==
Naoki and the rest of Class 3 were currently in Art Class.
"Good Work Mr Kenshi" said the teacher
"Thank you Miss" said Naoki
The class were tasked with painting a bowl of fruit, and Naoki was doing really well, Art was actually one of Naoki's best subjects.
"She's not kidding Naoki, you're really good, maybe you should join the art club" said Osamu
"Nah, I don't plan on joining any clubs" said Naoki
"Oh come on" said Osamu
"In any case, if I was going to join a club, I would prefer if it was about something like law and order" said Naoki
"Got a bit of a sense of justice, have you?" asked Shinju Hamada, a girl about Naoki's height with long light blonde hair.
"That tends to happen when you're father was a judge" said Naoki
"Oh, okay" said Shinju
"Unfortunately, I don't think there are any clubs like that here" said Osamu
"That's okay, joining a club would probably take up too much of my time, if I'm not studying here then I have to be at home taking care of my little sister" said Naoki
"What about your mom?" asked Shinju
Naoki tightened the grip on his paintbrush and almost broke it in his hand.
"I don't want to talk about it" said Naoki
"Touchy subject?" asked Osamu
"Yeah, please don't bring it up again" said Naoki
"Alright, sorry" said Osamu
The teacher interrupted their conversation when she walked up to another student. The student had medium length blonde hair and brown eyes, she was below average in height and quite skinny.
"Miss Nakamura, I would appreciate it if you would get of your phone and focus on the work" said the teacher
"Sorry teach" said the girl
The girl turned off her phone and placed it in her bag before getting back to the painting.
"What was that about?" asked Naoki
"Oh, Hiyoko Nakamura, that girl practically lives on her phone, she's on it practically every second of every day" said Shinju
"Oh" said Naoki
==Later==
Naoki was on his way to the library when he heard 2 other students talking about his class, he didn't recognise either one of them, so they must have been from a different class.
"So, do you think the legend is true?" asked the girl
"About that cursed class 3?" asked the boy
Naoki went wide eyed.
"Nah, it's just a legend" said the boy
"I don't know, some old school records would say differently" said the girl
"There is no way that class is cursed though, even if it was, why just that one? Why not the entire school?" asked the boy
Naoki was getting a little freaked out, he continued to head to the library, when he found it, he entered to see Tomomi sitting at a table drawing.
"Oh, hey Tomomi" said Naoki
"Hey there Naoki" said Tomomi
"What you doing?" asked Naoki
"Oh, nothing, I just came here for some quiet" said Tomomi
"Oh, sorry, am I disturbing you?" asked Naoki
"No, it's okay" said Tomomi
"Hey, Tomomi, what were you talking about in the park on Saturday? You said that 'it' may have already started, what did you mean by 'it'?" asked Naoki
"It was nothing, I was just rambling" said Tomomi
"Um, okay" said Naoki
Naoki checked his watch.
"Hey, we should get back to class" said Naoki
"Okay" said Tomomi
Tomomi put her sketchpad in her bag when the librarian walked up to them.
"Tomomi, here's the book you were looking for" said the librarian
"Thanks Mr Chibiki" said Tomomi, taking the book and placing it in her bag
Naoki and Tomomi left the library and went back to the classroom.
==Later==
Naoki sat at home cooking dinner for his sister and his mother.
"So, you met Chibiki, huh? I remember him from when I went to Yomi North aswell, he was a creep, walking around like he owned the place" said Naoki's mother, Rin
"He did give off that impression" said Naoki, placing the plates on the table.
"I was actually surprised when I found out the guy was married" said Rin
"He is?" asked Naoki
"Yeah, but they don't live together anymore, apparently, even though they're still married, she lives in Sapporo, Hokkaido with their kids, so did he say anything to you?" asked Rin
"No, not a word" said Naoki
"Good, it's best if you stay away from him" said Rin
==Later==
Late at night, Naoki couldn't sleep, he couldn't get what he heard about the class being cursed out of his mind, when he was sure his mother and sister were asleep, he grabbed his laptop and searched for some answers, he found an article from 1972.
Death at Yomi North
Beloved student of Yomiyama North Middle School, Yomiyama Misaki, and his
entire family sadly perished in a house fire. Misaki was 15 years old at the time and was very popular among his classmates.
The article didn't tell Naoki much about any sort of curse, he kept looking and found another article from that year.
Phantom Photograph
Students of Yomiyama North Middle School were shocked when one of their deceased students
appeared in the class 3 graduation photo.
Yomiyama Misaki, who died earlier this year in a house fire at the age of 15, was loved by his classmates who were all so heartbroken about his death that they started acting as if Misaki was still alive and decided to pay tribute to him by including his desk in the graduation photo.
When the students saw the photo, they were shocked to see their deceased classmate in the photo, smiling happily but deathly pale.
This seemed to tell Naoki a bit more, people must have just thought the curse was that the class was supposed to be haunted. Naoki felt relieved, he didn't believe in ghosts anyway, so he had nothing to worry about. Naoki turned off his laptop and went to sleep.
==The Next Day==
Naoki sat in his new single desk, he was happy he didn't have to share a desk now.
"And so class, as you all know, Pythagoras' theorum is a theorem attributed to Pythagoras that the square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal in area to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. So in other words, A squared plus B squared equals C squared" said Mr Hanemaro
Naoki didn't pay much attention, he instead looked around the classroom, noticing Tomomi wasn't there.
==Later==
Naoki grabbed his stuff to head home, when he noticed Tomomi getting her stuff.
"Hey Tomomi, you weren't in class today" said Naoki
"Oh, hey Naoki, no, I was busy" said Tomomi
"With what?" asked Naoki
"Nothing that important, anyway, I better get home" said Tomomi
"Mind if I walk with you?" asked Naoki
"Uh, sure" said Tomomi
Naoki walked Tomomi home, they arrived at a house about 20 minutes away from the school, it seemed like a nice place.
"So this is your place?" asked Naoki
"Well, not exactly, my parents are out of town so until they get back, I'm staying with my uncle" said Tomomi
"Oh, okay, well, I'll see you at school tomorrow" said Naoki
Naoki walked off as Tomomi entered the house.
"What was she so busy with that made her skip class but not school?" thought Naoki
Naoki returned home and entered the house to see an empty whisky bottle and several shot glasses on the coffee table.
"Oh no" said Naoki
Naoki heard crying coming upstairs, he waked up and heard the crying coming from his little sister's room, he opened the door and saw the little 8 year old girl crying in the corner, covered in bruises and a couple of cuts.
"Again?" asked Naoki
Koharu looked at her big brother and nodded her head. Naoki walked up to his little sister and picked her up and took her to his room and sat her down on the bed, he then reached under his bed and pulled out a first aid kit. He tended to his little sisters wounds and wrapped her arm in bandages.
"Thanks" said Koharu
"Anytime little sis" said Naoki
Koharu hugged her big brother.
"Why does she do it?" asked Koharu
"I don't know, but neither of us deserve it, you especially" said Naoki
And that does it for the second chapter, hope you enjoyed
