Spar: SURPRISE! Welcome to Chapter 1 of the Fic formerly known as Same As It Ever Was! Our Corpse Party Crossover! Due to various personal reasons, I have been unable to keep up my end of the bargain on this story, hence we turned this into a Partial-Collab, I tell dear Requiem the ideas, she then writes them down. However, due to some serious damn Writer's Block, Requiem and I agree that I'll handle a bit of this Chapter! So, surprise Guest Writer!

Oh and also, the inspiration for this Fic's name was the Song 'Once In A Lifetime' by Talking Heads. One of the lyrics in it is the repeated utterance of "Same As It Ever Was" which I thought fit well with this. I did briefly have another idea for another name, but we chose to keep it.

Requiem: Well, not anymore! Now its I Know I'll See Your Face Again. This name was based off some of the lyrics of 'The Drugs Don't Work' by The Verve. I hope you guys like the new name! And, if not, I can just change it back again. Now, without further to do, let's start this crazy chapter. :D Also, LIMENESS! BWAH HA HA!

"Come on, Yoshiki!" Ayumi yelled. Naomi and Yoshiki were dragging behind the others due to some minor injuries, so the blue-haired psychic reached her hand out for Yoshiki. Even though she cared for Naomi, Ayumi was closer to Yoshiki.

"We're coming!" Yoshiki stared at the ground falling behind him. He could just feel that the clock would strike again, and, if he did not help Naomi, both him and his friend would be stuck there for all eternity. They would both die, both eternally suffer.

"No, I don't want to die!" shouted Naomi, tears in her brown eyes. Then Naomi could feel somebody picking her up and throwing her to the others. "Yoshiki!"

Ayumi wakes up, sweat all over her face. "Yoshiki!" She jumps out of her bed, but Ayumi can feel there is something off. Like there is something different with the reality she is in. A little bit dazed, Ayumi begins walking towards the door, dreading the day coming. Then, suddenly, the blue-haired teenager hears her phone ringing, so Ayumi picks it up. On the little screen, she can see that Yoshiki is calling her.

"Holy shit," Ayumi whispers to herself. "What's going on?" She also notices that the date is the one of the culture festival...

Ayumi walks down the stairs of her home finding everything to the same as it ever was. Unlike the day she experienced before, Ayumi notices a note on the table. She strolls up to it, curious about what it is hiding.

To my dearest sister, Ayumi;

I'm off to help some people around town that are experiencing supernatural phenomenon which is why I'm not here right now. I'll be back before you're finished with school. Though, I did feel like something terrible was going to happen to you, so I left a spell to help. Hope you don't mind. :3 Can't have you hyperventilating now?

-Hinoe :D

"Holy shit."

Naomi did not want to wake up. When she opens her eyes, Naomi knows that she would be alone, that Seiko would not be there. That nobody will remember Seiko. If that happens, the brunette would not be shocked if she goes crazy.

"Just keep your eyes closed! Keep them closed, keep them closed!" She can feel the tears forming in her tear ducts. "Just go to sleep, pretend that you're sick, down with a cold going around. School will only make things worst, and I just can't bear it without Seiko!"

"Naomi, wake up you silly head!" Now Naomi knows that she is dreaming somewhat. "I don't know what's going on either! Somehow, I'm still alive!"

"I'm just dreaming-"

"This is real! Open your eyes!"

"Stop tormenting me." After Naomi gets more comfortable in her bed, she can feel somebody pushing her. The teenager tries to keep her brown eyes closed, but she finally succumbs to the voice's wishes.

"Finally!" Seiko shouts. Her head is right above Naomi's, and the other girl cannot believe the sight of Seiko.

"My mind is playing tricks on me, isn't it?"

"Nah-uh! I knew you couldn't leave me behind, need somebody to keep this nice!" comes the bubbly brunette's reply, due to the night's sleep, her hair is hanging loose in a gorgeous natural styling. A slight squeeze can be felt on Naomi's behind in reply.

Somehow, this feeling feels euphoric for Naomi. After the nightmares she suffered from Heavenly Host all last night, the horror of realizing that it is her fault Seiko met such a gruesome end and that apart from the bizarre constant texts she got 'from' Seiko she would never be able to see that girl again, to feel her hands, to be groped for God's sakes! How can Naomi live without seeing that mischievous hint in Seiko's beautiful eyes? It almost is like she had found all meaning in life again. She re-found the reason for her existence. All of these things stack onto her and causes Naomi to unleash a sudden sexual moan, a long gravelly barbaric roar.

Seiko's eyes shot open, if she wasn't already awake by this point, she sure as heck is now. "Na-Naomi..." she gives off a slight half-grin, her eyes filling with that flame only Seiko Shinohara can unleash. "I didn't know you got so pent up easily..." she giggles sweetly, Naomi blushes and put a finger to her lips.

"Ssshh! You'll wake Mum!" she whisperes through bursts of laughter.

Seiko is lying atop her, she shakes her head. "Well, if she does wake up, who cares! Love is love," she purres the finale of the sentence, it seems her pent up primal urges were ticking to her head, a thin film of drool running from her lower lip. Naomi actually does a double-take, glancing to see if her door is locked, to see Seiko again. How could I be so foolish? It was looking right at me! Seiko...she then leans in slowly, her eyes sliding shut as she places her lips against the other girls, pressing together with a sweet mewl.

Seiko gasps, she slowly presses her lips into the brown-haired girls lips. She gives off a slight moan and slides her hands down Naomi's armpits and links behind her back, she begins to rub her lips against Naomi's. Naomi presses her hands to Seiko's breasts, squeezing them erotically.

"Aahhhh...Ohhh Naomi" moans Seiko, her tongue snaked into Naomi's maw, playfully searching around. Naomi, surprised at how her instincts controlled her, responds to Seiko with another hot French kiss. Naomi knows now that she had found out why she never really found Satoshi hot, or sexy. She likes girls. She loves Seiko for all of her body.

Naomi's tongue suddenly runs over the wet identical muscle of Seiko, causing a shivering moan. She squirms in delight and runs her tongue back over Naomi's, holding them close like the two lovers need to be.

Seiko then purrs, removing her tongue from the newly-identified lesbian's mouth. She gives a satisfying smile. "Naomi, I know I've never really said this but...but the reason I like to gro-ungh" she groans when Naomi gropes her back. Seiko giggles. "I thought they say opposites attract?" she looks up towards the rising sun out the window. As she did, Naomi can see Seiko's neck.

Running below her chin around her neck is a thin rash-like line. The moment Naomi sees it, her blood runs cold. Images flash into her mind, seeing Seiko hanging there, her mouth hanging open, eyes glossed over. She killed her. The thought of Seiko's last moments, seeing her best friend and the girl who she adored doing this to her...She holds Seiko tight. Seiko wraps her hands around Naomi's waist, her palms on the opposite buttcheek.

"S-Seiko..."

"Naomi, darling...What the heck's gotten into you?" she asks, constantly holding that happy and chipper face. Tears gloss her eyes as well. Internally, Seiko is screaming in victory. But, like the real emotions of the young motherless girl, she hides the sadness of what happened in Heavenly Host.

I...I'm alive! I...Naho was right! The Time Loop worked! Sh...She was right! I'm back! I'm alive! Goddammit! Naomi! Naomi's here! Sh-She Loves Me!

Seiko tries to hold it in before her mouth slumps open and she lets out a loud joyful cry of delight, almost sexual in nature as she held her close, crying profusely. She buries her head below Naomi's neck, letting all her bottled up emotions run free.

"Seiko. I. Love. You"

Naomi moans erotically. Seiko's hand brushes her vagina! Despite Naomi internally wanting to hold Seiko's hand back there, it goes to her side, and she pinches herself. She continues to stare at Naomi. She can stay here forever. In fact, she wants to.

"Naomi, when I look at you, I feel like I'm stuck to you, unable to look elsewhere. Just seeing you in the bath was intoxicating...I feel like we share a heart, and if I stayed with you long enough, we could combine it. As one," Seiko whispers through the tears. Unlike most times Seiko spoke, this time she doesn't look mischievous or like she would grope Naomi at any moment. Instead, she looks like she was deadly serious. Naomi hugges her tight.

"Seiko Shinohara, I love you. I never want us to be apart again!" she cries loudly, accepting the emotions. She honestly feels like right now she can die. She had just revealed one of her deepest secrets, she is both a lesbian and she adores the cute brunette. A ton of pressure leaves from Naomi's chest, for she is finally out with somebody about her homosexuality.

Seiko smiles at her, holding her close.

"Naomi. C-Can we get the day off? I want to stay with you..." Naomi askes her lover sweetly, knowing that even if Seiko wanted to take the day off, it is her Mother's choice. Of course, Naomi could pull a good flu voice, but she doesn't know how good Seiko can pull it.

Seiko lookes at her and tilts her head. "What about Mayu?" she asks, knowing that although she realizes if she and Naomi stayed off school, they wouldn't be sent back to that nightmare, she can survive and both could live together. She didn't know how or if Naomi remembered those horrors, but if she did, she would agree.

Naomi does remember. And have she been able to access Seiko's mind, she would agree. The romance clouding her reason, she only cares for Seiko. But she has to do something for Mayu, Morshige, Yui, Yoshiki, Ayumi and the Mochida's. But what can she do? Even if the two lovers stay at home, the events can still happen. Plus, it is Mayu's last day with them again, and they have to be good friends.

Interrupting their thoughts, a cellphone goes off. It is on Naomi's bedside table, so she picks it up. The little scene reveals the person they know named Ayumi is calling them. Both of them want to know how their friends are. Because of that, Naomi grabs the phone, answers the call, and puts it on speaker so Seiko can hear as well. Their brown eyes become fixated on the little pink cell device.

"Come to school now. Don't stay at home. I've a plan."

"Huh?" Naho wakes up, a sudden pain pounding in her head. "I'm alive? I'm sane? How is this happening?" With her eyes basically popping out of their sockets, the high school student starts looking around. Then, after confirming she is in the real world, Naho takes out of laptop and hurries to her blog. The first thing that comes up is the Sachiko Ever After charm, so Naho quickly deletes it, not wanting blood to once again be on her hands.

"I should go back to sleep. Dying and being put into a timeloop surely takes away a lot of my energy," the psychic tells herself. "I can call school later to say that I'm sick. Or I could let somebody else do it." Not desiring to get up, the girl closes her eyes...

"Hey, Naho, guess whose back too!"

"No!"

Requiem-Cliff hangers forever!

Sachiko-I think it is obvious who it is-

Vanitas-*covers Sachiko's mouth* Shut up, you little brat.
