A/N: Hiya guys! To User: wanna see a trick and Senpai's Boo, thank you very much on giving the opinions and saying the ships are cute :3 I'll start to be more critical and progress through the actual storyline, backstories of the three ghosts and etc. It's Saturday! I'll try to work on 2 chapters to post!
..wtf *sees Ayumi, Satsuki, Yuka, Naomi, Tohko, and even Yui-sensei tries to win his heart* WHY IS YOSHIKI SO DAMN UNDERRATED OKAY ITS ON *grabs Azusa Takai (From 2U), Aiko Niwa, probably even Magali (From BloodDrive) and many other suitable girls* I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS
Unlike the actual story which Yuki becomes a guide, Ryou takes the role! Just don't stare at me pls- Anyways, yeah! That's all I have to say! Again, thanks to the viewers that actually spent the time to read all of my works! I really appreciate it! If you liked it, follow or stuffles, or remember to come back here regularly!
Haruyuki P.O.V
With Sayaka starting to warm up to me, I felt really happy at this moment, with her hands taking mine and her smiling towards me, albeit in a tsundere manner as we walked through the hallways. I'm really happy about this, and it makes me wanted to protect her better. After we get outta here, I'm sure I'll ask her out, yet in a less clingy way. We started to reach the balcony, the rain never stop when we got here, and I bet it never stopped since a long time ago… what a cruel place. There's a pool in the middle of the balcony, yet the feeling of gore and all the negative emotions were only stronger when me and Sayaka got here. I sure wonder what's in store for us…
"Haruyuki-kun, there's a room that's surrounded by a fence nearby!" Sayaka pointed towards the left hand side, the room was indeed there, only quite hidden from this distance and angle of sight. Thank god that Sayaka found out!
"Oh! There was one after all, let's go, Sayaka!" We started to proceed slowly towards the door, looking out for traps that are coming our way. The rain was making the place waaay creepier than how it is, so I had to stay close to Sayaka when she approaches the room. 'Pump Room', was what written on the board when we were able to get a closer look at it. There was a lock, but I cut it down with the sword Tetsuya gave me. Man, it's quite versatile when put the good use! We went in, and the creepy aura, the dark surroundings really disturbed me.
"Sayaka, you sure you can go in with me? In any case, take the blade for now. It'll protect you." I gave Sayaka the blade, and head inside the pump room myself with Sayaka following close. She whimpered a little when the thunder strikes, the surroundings weren't making it any better to calm her down either. I have to explore this room and get it done, fast! There was a pump to drain away the pool for the water, so I spun it and subsequently activated the function as the water outside was drained.
Of course, corpses were seen clearly when the water was drained away by my triggering of the pump, so I held Sayaka close to me to cover her eyesight, she held unto my hand tight as well. I noticed something… a bag, maybe? It's seen near a shallow spigot inside the pool, and I proceeded down to get the bag. Ugh, it's wet, yet I have a bad feeling about this. I will keep it for now, in case if we actually needed this for any use in the future.
"Haruyuki-kun, what's in the bag?" She's actually focused, I really never bothered to take a look at what is inside the actual bag, so I took a peek— what the fuck. A TONGUE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"I-It's a tongue!" I flinched quite violently, and quickly kept the bag inside my pocket, I sure as hell wouldn't want to see this again at all. Sayaka calmed me down, and we went down stairs after that. I did wonder, even for a little, that what a tongue could do in this situation? Nevertheless, it's better if I focus on finding a route to meet Naho and Tetsuya in this school. Naho's pretty smart about the occult subject, so if I passed the tongue to her she might figure something out for us.
Naho P.O.V
Hmm… I read another post that was placed in one of the classrooms, and I tried figuring out what was happening to the three kids in this school, and what happened to Sachiko. Apparently, Heavenly Host Elementary School's principal, Takamine Yanagihori committed suicide due to unknown reasons. The nurse, Yoshie Shinozaki died and apparently Sachiko, her daughter died too. This must mean due to unknown reasons, Takamine did murder those two and got away with it, but committed suicide later on. The three kids were also missing after that, it's best to assume that Takamine killed them… yet, I don't think it could be that simple.
"Tetsuya-kun, you said something about appeasing before, right? What was the thing that they lost? It must be similar, and maybe it was their body parts…" He went into deep thoughts, and I began to look back at my memories to remember what exactly did their body parts disappeared to. Wait…
"Each of the corpses appeared to have had its tongue sev_ed…"
"That's it! It was their tongues that were needed to successfully appease them!" I suggested, finally figuring out the pieces of the puzzle together. He smiled, and wrote that down in a note. He plan to leave this note behind so that when Haruyuki and Sayaka eventually reached here, they could see what the notes wrote. We also agreed to meet up in a certain location as I revised his notes:
Haruyuki, Sayaka:
- Meet up with us at East Wing, 1st Hall.
- If you were able to find any tongues, keep them in a bag, as we need them to appease the spirits.
- Be careful, stay safe. I'm sorry to drag all of you into this… -Naho
Tetsuya left the notes on the ground, and after checking the notes; we started to walk again, looking around. A huge rumble was heard, the landscapes are changing again! I wonder, where did the notes flew off to when the earthquake happened, since we were not able to see the classroom we sat down earlier, what is behind us is a huge piece of crack that we won't able to get to anytime soon. I hope they are okay…
Still, I wondered, what could lead us to bringing the items we needed to actually appease the spirits? The tongues are a good thing to begin with, but where would we find them? We eventually wondered and saw a blue orb, Tetsuya moving in front of me and preparing to unsheathe his blade. I smiled, knowing how sweet he is as I hid at his back.
"Don't worry, I mean you no harm." The spirit muttered silently, floating and taking shape of a young student. He's apparently from Byakudan Academy judging from his uniform that he is wearing right now. "Spirits… while I am alive, I poked various things that I shouldn't have tried for my own safety, and this is how I ended up here. While I am alive, I found some leads on how you actually get someone to guide you to appease the spirits, turns out… It can be a doll or a figurine, any living things with actual conscience would work; whatever you have."
Tetsuya rubbed his chin, thinking of what could be used for the spirit. His eyes widened, and unsheathed his blade. "Would this work?" He asked confidently, making sure if the blade would be used for the actual spell to work.
"It sure will, but, young boy… are you prepared for the risks you have to face?" The spirit asked concernfully, wondering if Tetsuya would actually do this. Is there a risk? If that's so, we'd be better off finding these tongue bags on our own; I don't want him to get hurt like the other did anymore… especially him…
"Tetsuya, no…" I held unto his hand, yet he just looked back to me and smiled, it was making me feel convinced that he can be safe. He gently placed my hand on my chest, and asked me to believe in him as he undergoes the ritual. A bright light flashed, and the spirit was gone.
"Uuuuugh… Okay… here we go…" Tetsuya held his head; it's as if he was trying to project the actual presence and the location of where the tongue bags are hidden. "The window… 27 steps…" He silently muttered and giving me time to record it in my notebook as he walked to the actual location and broke the window with the blade's edge.
"Hmmm… got it!" He took the bag and immediately shoved the bag inside his pocket, not wanting to see the blood. We'll have nightmares when we get home, alright o_o;; After walking a bit in the hallways, pursuing the actual spirit, we were tired and decided to look for the second one before we heard a voice: "Gihhhh… ittttt….. baaaaackkkk…."
"Hory shet!" Tetsuya flinched, looking backwards to see the boy spirit walking towards us and his arms raised like how a zombie would do, and he walked like… uhh… a zombie too? Anyway, I tried to remember his name that I read about in various newspaper posts, and I think I got his name remembered. Ryou Yoshizawa.
"Your name is… Ryou!" Recognizing what I read in the posts that me and Tetsuya both went out of our way to read, I called out to his name, hoping that I don't mess this up as Tetsuya silently nodded to me and passed me the tongue bag. "Ryou… Yoshizawa." The ghost silently nodded and walked over to us, me trying to not look at his eyes while giving him the tongue bag. He smiled at us, and disappeared, scattering away in a petal like formation.
"God, that was nerve wrecking." Tetsuya chuckled as he slumped down, getting a bottle of mineral water to gulp it down quickly and quenching his thirst, he passed the bottle to me after he drank half of the actual water down. I also drank it, but I was shy when I did it, it meant to me like an indirect kiss already.
"What's wrong?" Tetsuya turned his head over to look at me, wondering if I am okay. W-Well, I am okay, just a little flustered…
"Nothing, I'm fine, Tetsuya." I hid my inner thoughts from him as we stood up and waited for clues to come to him, as I helped him packing up the objects he had assembled in his bag. He sure is neat, and thinks of everything ahead first before executing his actual actions. Yet he could be a more little braver to girls. Heh…
"The next one is… right under the floorboards ahead." He walked a bit faster ahead and dug into the floorboards, wondering if there's anything there. He did find a tongue bag again, and we went to pursue the second spirit we need to give chase and appease to. While we were walking, there were earthquakes again, and Tetsuya held me close to prevent me from getting hurt. My head hurts…
Sayaka P.O.V
It's been a while since we left the balcony, I held on to Haruyuki's hand affectionately as we walked. I never actually noticed how kind he is, and he was the same goofy yet kind boy from our childhood that we once used to know.
"Sayaka, I'm kind of sorry for being so clingy after so many years we have gone through as childhood friends. It must have made you feel awkward." With a half-frown and a half-smile, he apologized to me for being clingy. Awww, he's so adorable! I smiled gently and gave his cheeks a peck, nosebleed leaking out from his nose comedically.
"Is that…" I took a closer look, it was Naho and Tetsuya fainted on the floor… wait…
Tetsuya's blade is gone!
