Chapter 11: The Book of Shadows

A/N: Sorry, for not writing in such a long time, again! But, then again, it is a suspenseful story. So, this was needed, but it was way too long, I will say that. Yoshiki has ridden himself of the burden of his nightmares. He "killed" the influence that Sachiko has given him. Satoshi saw a decomposing body (more on that later) and they are closer to finding the Book of Shadows than they could possibly imagine. Soon, they'll go back once again and... ok, I'll stop there. I don't want to spoil it for you before it's written. So, here we go!

Naomi

Naomi stared at Yoshiki's passed out form, as he began to come to. His eyes opened as he looked up at his friends. "Kishinuma!" Ayumi said, realizing he was awake. "Are you ok?!" Yoshiki groaned in pain as Ayumi and Satoshi helped him up. "Shit." he said. "Yeah, I'm ok. How long was I asleep?" Naomi cleared her throat and spoke. "About a half hour. What did you dream about?" Yoshiki frowned, sighing. "You'd never believe it." he said. "Well, what was it?" Ayumi asked. "Well, I dreamt I was in my mind. I was present in my own mind!" Naomi raised her eyebrow. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I was in my mind!" he said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down buddy." Satoshi said. "Explain yourself." Yoshiki sighed in anger. "Ok. When I passed out, I woke up in what was supposed to be my mind." he said. "You were there." He pointed and looked at Ayumi. "I was there?" she asked, pointing to herself. He nodded. "Well, more like my mental image of you." Ayumi shook her head. "I don't understand." Naomi just laughed. Naomi, let me out. Something big is coming. Naomi ignored Seiko's voice and just listened to them.

"Look, we'll talk about this later." Ayumi said. "We have to focus on finding the Book of Shadows." Naomi nodded. "Um, I think now is a good time to say it." Satoshi said. "I uh, found a dead body." Naomi Nakashima! Let me out, NOW! Naomi sighed and concentrated on the spiritual energy within her. She let out a few grunts and yells of pain, before a pale, blue ball appeared at her side, slowly molding into Seiko's shape. "Ok." she said. "What is it that you need to tell us so bad?" Seiko looked at the group. "Guys, something big is about to happen." she said. "I'm feeling a huge amount of spiritual energy in the area." They all looked at her, except for Satoshi. "I'm beginning to feel jumpy." he said, shivering in what seemed to be fear. They ignored him and looked back at Seiko. "I feel like Sachiko is about to strike." Satoshi began to freak out, to the group's notice. "What is that?" he asked, peering into the darkness as his friends looked at him. "Oh no. No, no, no, no. No! It's here! Get me out of here!" Without waiting for his friends to react, he ran in the opposite direction, towards the exit. "Satoshi! Wait, come back!" Naomi called.

"Seiko, what's going on?!" Naomi asked. "Why is Satoshi freaking out?" Seiko looked at the three. "While I've been in Heavenly Host, I've overheard Sachiko say from a distance, that she was torturing each and everyone of you mentally." Ayumi looked confused. "How can she do that?" she asked. "It's kind of hard to explain." Seiko replied. "I think it's because she kept a connection on you, when you were possessed and your body was used to kill me." Naomi just shrugged. "But why? How would that help her?" she asked. "Who knows?" Seiko's spirit asked. "It could be to just mentally torture you guys and to get you to do what she said. It worked on you. Twice perhaps." Yoshiki spoke. "But why would she want to do that?" he asked. "Think about it." Seiko said, looking at their blonde friend. "We'll start with you first. Sachiko implanted you with the nightmares. Correct?" Yoshiki nodded. "Well then, it makes sense in your case, dear Kishinuma." she said. "She wanted to ensure that these horrible nightmares or night terrors of impending doom would brainwash you to kill one of your friends. And when you resisted. Instead, you made sure she was always safe. You put her and your friend's safety before your own. And when she failed, she just gave up."

"Well, actually I purged her from my mind. Or she gave up." Yoshiki said. "Either way, she's gone now." Ayumi cleared her throat. "Look, I'd really love to stay here and chat about this, but we have to find Mochida-San." Ayumi replied. "She's right." Naomi replied. "We have to find Satoshi." she said. "We have to find him before something bad happens." Yoshiki nodded. "It's settled then." Yoshiki said. "Let's go find our friend." Naomi and her friends ran down the hall of the cellar, towards the exit, with Seiko's spirit floating next to Naomi as she ran. They reached the stairs and one by one, left the cellar. Once they got out, they noticed the sun was just barely starting to set. "We have to hurry." Naomi said. "The sun is starting to go down. We haven't got a lot of time to search for him." Seiko cleared her "throat". "Well, it shouldn't be that hard. He's right there!" Seiko said. Naomi looked in front of her. Seiko was right. She saw Satoshi standing in the tall grass a few feet away. "Oh, thank goodness." she said, as she and her friends approached him. "Mochida-San!" she said, stopping behind him. "Are you ok?" Satoshi wimpered as he turned to look at her. "Do you not see it?" Satoshi asked. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Yoshiki exclaimed. "See what?" Satoshi looked at them. "The spirit in front of me!" Satoshi said. She looked in front of her friend, seeing nothing except tall grass and the trees in the woods not to far away. "Um, dude?" Yoshiki asked. "We don't see a spirit."

Satoshi turned around to face them. "What? You don't see it?" Satoshi asked. "Am I truly going insane?!" She watched as Seiko's spirit floated a little over towards Mochida-San. "What? No!" Seiko replied. "You're fine!" Naomi looked at her friend's spirit. "Tell him the truth!" she hissed. "What truth? That is the truth!" Seiko replied in a calm tone. "Sachiko is probably just focusing on him now." Ayumi cleared her throat. "If Sachiko is trying to torture and mentally use us, why haven't I felt the effects yet?" Ayumi asked. Seiko's spirit turned to look at Ayumi. "I've overheard Sachiko talk about this." Seiko replied. "The weird thing is, is that I haven't heard her say she has anything planned for you. I guess you are a lost cause to her?" Ayumi looked at Naomi. "Naomi, if your little pet here keeps talking bad about me, I'm gonna smash her!" Ayumi said. Seiko just started to giggle. "You can't do that. I'm a ghost. And don't call me a pet." Seiko said. "Oh, I can't smash you, huh?" Ayumi asked, as she picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the spirit. It went right through Seiko. "Still not grasping the concept of a ghost. You're just not having a good day today, are you, buddy?" Seiko asked, laughing.

"Stop it, you two." Yoshiki said. "We need to focus on what is going on with Satoshi. Seiko, do you have any idea what Sachiko could be doing to him?" Seiko looked like she was thinking. "Well, it's hard to say. Mochida-San, what did you say you saw when we were in the cellar?" she asked. Satoshi's eyes darted back and forth, as if he were looking for more "spirits". "I uh, I saw a dead body in the basement of the house!" Satoshi said, in a nervous tone. "Ok." Seiko said. "Take us to see the dead body." They all looked at Seiko's spirit. "What the hell?" Yoshiki said. "You want to go look at a dead body?" Ayumi asked, looking at Seiko's spirit. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Seiko's spirit turned to look at Ayumi and Yoshiki. "I have a theory." Seiko said. "But I can't confirm it unless Mochida-San takes us to see this dead body." Satoshi looked at all of them, still shivering in fear. "No. Um, thank you, but no thank you." Satoshi said. "I'm not going back in there!" Naomi sighed. "This isn't an open discussion Mochida-San. We are going and we are going right now." she said, before turning towards the house. "Well, I'm not going!" Satoshi called. "Fine." she said, as she heard Yoshiki and Ayumi follow her. "I guess you can stay out here and have fun with your scary spirits." Not even five seconds later, she heard running footsteps behind them. "Ok, ok! Wait up!" Satoshi called, running after them.

Naomi just laughed as he caught up behind them. They walked into the old farm house and waited. "Ok, Mochida-San." she said. "Where do we go from here?" It took a few seconds for Satoshi to answer. "Down in t-the b-basement." Satoshi said, in a shaky voice. She nodded and started down the steps to the basement, as she and her friends followed down the stairs, whilst turning on their flashlights. Once they got down, she looked around the room, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. "Mochida-San, where did you see the dead body?" she asked. "Mochida-San?" She turned around, shining her phone's flashlight around the room, seeing Seiko's spirit, Ayumi and Yoshiki, but not Satoshi. "Son of a bitch." she said, looking at her friends. "Where is he?" Yoshiki looked towards the stairs. "I'll go get him." Yoshiki replied, running back up the stairs. Not even a few seconds later, she heard Yoshiki from upstairs. "Come on you big baby!" Yoshiki said from upstairs. "Hey, come on! I'm not going down there! I saw a dead body!" Satoshi said from upstairs. "Exactly!" Yoshiki said, as they heard thumping from the stairs. Yoshiki came into view, ushering Satoshi down the stairs. "Let go of me!" Satoshi exclaimed, as he pulled away from his blonde friend.

"Now, as I was saying Mochida-San." Naomi replied. "Where is the dead body?" Satoshi sighed. "Very well." Satoshi said. "This way." He walked away from them, towards the opposite end of the basement. She followed her friend to an open door, where a crowbar was lying in front of it. "Why is there a crowbar on the floor?" she said. "I, uh, had to use it to try to get the door open as it was locked." Satoshi said. "Ok, so where did you find the body?" she asked. "Is it in the room?" Satoshi nodded. "Ok, well let's take a look." Yoshiki said. "Oh, come on! Let's just take 'looking at it' as an open-actioned item and just come back with suggestions next time!" Satoshi begged. "No, it has to be today." Ayumi said. "We are running short on time." Naomi preceeded to shine her light into the room and she saw nothing. "Um, Mochida-San?" she asked. "Yeah?" Satoshi responded in a shaky tone. "There's nothing here." she said. "What?" Satoshi asked, walking up to her. Satoshi looked into the room, not freaking out at all. "But, I swear! I saw a dead body in there!" Satoshi exclaimed. Seiko's spirit floated over to Satoshi. "It seems as though my theory is correct." Seiko replied. "Well, what was you're theory?" Naomi asked. Seiko's spirit looked at her friend, while attempting to braid her hair. But, being a ghost, she didn't succeed. "Well, let me ask you this." Seiko said, as she looked back at Satoshi. "Do you see the body right now?" Seiko asked. "No, I don't see anything." Satoshi replied, in a much calmer tone.

"Well, that is it." Seiko said. "You are the only one who can see these spirits and they only seem to appear when you are by yourself." Satoshi looked at Seiko's spirit. "What are you saying?" Satoshi asked. "I'm just saying that I know what Sachiko is doing to you, even if you don't." Seiko said. "I don't understand." Satoshi said. "Mochida-San, I just told you. And I need you to try to understand. So, I'll say it in a different way." Seiko said. "It's why you though you saw Sachiko at the Academy in the lavatory." Satoshi looked shocked. "How do you-" Satoshi was trying to question Seiko's spirit, when she interrupted. "When Naomi recovered her memory, she told me stories about what had been going on, but that doesn't matter." Seiko said. "What does matter is that I tell you what is going on. Like I said, it's why you thought you saw her spirit in the lavatory. It's why you thought she forced your head into Ayumi's bathroom mirror. And-" Seiko's spirit, was explaining all over again, but Satoshi interrupted once again. "What?! I never told-" Satoshi, was back talking Seiko, but Seiko interrupted right back. "And it's why the body you saw seemingly disappeared right when we needed to see it." Seiko said. "Mochida-San, don't you understand? These spirits were never really there. You are not insane. Sachiko is forcing your eyes to play tricks on you!"

Satoshi

He stared at Seiko's spirit, as she smiled, proud of herself. Sachiko is making my eyes play tricks on me? "You are full of shit." he said. "That is not quite the response I was expecting." Seiko replied. "You actually think that Sachiko is making me see the spirits?" he asked. "That's stupid." Seiko's spirit just looked at him. "So, I suppose instead of such seeing things, them actually being there makes more sense?" Seiko asked. "Hell yeah it does!" he said. "It makes more sense than me just being brain washed to see them." Seiko's spirit continued to look at him. "So, actual ghosts?" Seiko asked. "Yeah! Boo, motherfucker." he said. "Both of you calm down!" Ayumi said, stepping in between the two. "It's all ok. All we have to worry about is finding the Book of Shadows. And I want to recommend that we don't split up this time. Because we all know how that wound up. With Mochida-San seeing a dead body and Kishinuma-San having a dream about his mind." Yoshiki looked at Ayumi. "Hey! I take offense to that!" Yoshiki exclaimed. "I had a dream and I was actually in my mind." Ayumi sighed. "Whatever. In your mind or whatever it was." she said. "I swear I was in my own mind in a dream!" Yoshiki said, in an angry tone. They started arguing back in forth like an old married couple. Satoshi and Naomi exchanged glances. "Mochida-San?" she asked. He nodded, taking notice of his friend's attempt to get his attention. "Do you think we should stop them?" Naomi asked. He just laughed. "No, watching them act like this is just cute." Seiko's spirit laughed as well. "I agree with Mochida-San. If they are going to bicker like a married couple, we need time to sell tickets!" Seiko said, laughing.

Yoshiki and Ayumi stopped arguing to look at their friends. "What do you mean?" Yoshiki asked. "We are not arguing. We are just exchanging opinions." Satoshi just laughed. "Sure thing, buddy!" he said. "But that can be called arguing." Yoshiki looked at his best friend. "I hate you." Yoshiki said. "Oh trust me, I know." Satoshi replied in response. "Ok, back to the main focus?" Naomi asked. "The Book of Shadows?" Ayumi nodded. "Right. Thanks for reminding me." Ayumi replied. Ayumi peered back into the room, shining her flashlight into the empty room. "Oh, hello..." Ayumi said. "Wait." Satoshi said, turning back to the door. "What?" He looked into the door and saw what looked like a staircase descending into the ground. As soon as he saw this, red flags went up everywhere. "Nope!" he said, backing up a little. Yoshiki turned around to look at him. "Oh come on man! What could possibly go wrong?" Yoshiki asked. "You heard what Seiko said. She said that the spirit things only appear when you're alone. So, let's go see what's down there." He backed up even further. "Um, no I'm good." he said. "Besides, I don't like surprises. Especially spooky ones." Yoshiki just looked at his friend. "Suit yourself." Naomi said, as his three friends walked down the stairs in the dark room. "Stupid theories from a stupid ghost girl." he muttered. "How stupid do they think I am? It's just Sachiko probably hiring other spirits and sending them here to torment me." He stood there for about thirty seconds, until he heard the voice. "Psst! Hey, buddy! Over here!" a sickly voice said. As chills went down his spine, he looked in the direction of the voice. As expected, he saw a spirit levitating to his left. "Let's play hide and seek!" It said.

"Oh, fuck you!" he said, running into the room after his friends. "Go die in a hole!" He ran down the stairs after his friends, which took him into a big room. He collapsed onto the ground after all the running. "Oh, hey man!" Yoshiki said. "Something really exciting must have happened upstairs to get you to come down here!" He looked up at his friend. "Well, no kidding!" he said. Naomi looked at him. "Hey, as long as you are down here, you can help us look for the Book of Shadows." He got up and joined the group. "Ok, which tunnel should we take?" Naomi asked. Ayumi looked like she was trying to concentrate. "I think we should try the middle tunnel." Ayumi finally replied. It was then when Satoshi looked up that he noticed all the tunnels. "Ok, it's settled." Yoshiki said. "Let's go." They all walked down the tunnel and into a small room lit by torches. And at the end of the room, sitting on top of a pedestal, was a book as black as night. "That's it!" Ayumi said. "That's the Book of Shadows!" Yoshiki looked at the book. "Well, it's about time!" Yoshiki said, as he walked up to the pedestal. "Let's get it." Satoshi was considering warning his friend. "Yosh, wait. It-" Then he stopped himself and remembered how bad Yoshiki had treated him the past two days. So he decided to not warn him. Yoshiki stopped and looked back at him. "What?" Yoshiki asked. "You know what? Nevermind. You're good." Satoshi said. Yoshiki turned back around and ran towards the pedestal. As soon as he got to the pedestal, a supernatural force blocked him from it and forced hm back the way he came, at a fast speed.

He hit a pillar that was holding the ceiling up and fell onto the floor, not getting up. Ayumi ran over to Yoshiki and got on her knee. "Yoshi! Are you ok?" she asked. "It's that damn right side!" Yoshiki grunted in pain. Before Naomi or Satoshi could go to check on Yoshiki as well, a deep, booming voice that seemed to come from nowhere spoke. "Who are you?" the deep voice boomed. "Um, anyone else hear that voice?" Satoshi asked. "Yeah, I hear it too." Naomi replied. "Who are you?" Ayumi seemed to ask the voice. "Who are you?" the voice said even louder than before. "Um, I'm Ayumi Shinozaki. And these are my friends." Ayumi said. "Now, I'll ask again. Who are you?" The voice didn't answer that time. "Um, hello?" Naomi called out. "Yes, I'm here." the voice boomed once more. "Who-" she started, only for Satoshi to interrupt. "What are you?" he asked. "I am The Guardian." the voice said, in a ominous tone. "You, uh, have a name?" Ayumi asked. "Let's focus on the matter at hand." The Guardian boomed. "Why have you awoken me from my slumber?" Yoshiki finally got back up, holding the right side of his abdomen. "What slumber? Who are you?" Yoshiki asked. "I've been asleep for years now." The Guardian said. "Now, what are you doing here, in my crypt?" Satoshi cleared his throat. "Can we make a deal?" he asked. The Guardian didn't answer for several seconds. "I don't usually make deals." he boomed, after a while. "It's really simple." he said. "You show yourself and then we'll tell you why we are here, disturbing you." The Guardian didn't answer for several seconds again. "Hmm. I like this bartering game. As you wish." he boomed. A orb of blue, spiritual energy appeared in front of the pedestal and started to expand.

It finally took the shape of the spirit of an aged old man, in a old looking dress suit. "Well, here I am. Now, why are you here?" The Guardian asked. "Um, we want to borrow the Book of Shadows. If it isn't too much to ask." Ayumi replied. "You are unlike the others." The Guardian said, looking at Ayumi. "Others?" Satoshi asked. "Indeed." The Guardian said. "Many others have invaded my crypt before, to attempt to steal my Book of Shadows." Ayumi looked at the Guardian. "Your Book of Shadows?" Ayumi asked, in a curious tone. "Precisely. I did write it, after all." The Guardian said. "Wait, what's your name?" Seiko's spirit asked. The Guardian eyed Seiko's spirit. "Another spirit?" he asked. "Where did you come from?" Seiko's spirit took on a glum look. "To make a long story short, I died in Heavenly Host and the connection with my friend here," Seiko explained, as she pointed at Naomi. "was so strong, that now if she concentrates hard enough, she can make me appear." The Guardian nodded. "Well, if return, I must reveal my real name. In my life, I was best known as Grandpa Shinozaki." The Guardian said. "Grandpa Shinozaki?" Ayumi asked. "As in Sachiko Shinozaki?" The Guardian looked at Ayumi. "Yes, as in Sachiko Shinozaki." he said. "Why?" Yoshiki sighed. "Oh, it's no reason Mr. Shinozaki." Yoshiki said. "Sachiko is just out to get us, since we escaped her asylum." The Guardian nodded. "Yes. I'm aware of what she does. My grand daughter has been a naughty little girl." he said. "Sachiko is your grand daughter?" Seiko's spirit asked. The Guardian nodded.

"Hold on, but my last name is Shinozaki as well, so am I related to Sachiko?" Ayumi asked. The Guardian looked at her. "What's your name?" he asked. "Ayumi Shinozaki." Ayumi said. "Oh, yes now I remember. My memory has been fuzzy." The Guardian said. "I think she'd be considered your great aunt." Satoshi looked at the Guardian. "Did she have any sisters?" he said. "She had one sister." the Guardian said. "And she had two children. A brother and a sister. And I believe the sister would have been your mother." The Guardian said this, as he looked back at Ayumi. "What was the sister's name?" Ayumi asked. "I wish I could help," the Guardian replied. "but it just so happened that Sachiko went off the deep end early in her child hood and killed mostly everyone on this farm, she attempted to kill her sister, but failed. She did uh, kill me. So, that shouldn't be a surprise." Satoshi looked at the Guardian. "What happened to Sachiko?" he asked. "Look kid. My memory is fuzzy and I don't like talking about this." the Guardian said. "Ok, sorry." he said. "You are unlike the others. You have good intentions in your hearts. You are not looking to use the Book of Shadows for personal gain." the Guardian said. "We just want it to help bring back our dead friend." Naomi blurted out. "Hmm." the Guardian said, nodding. "And there is such a spell in the book, I should know. But you have to promise me something." Ayumi looked back at the spirit. "Anything." she said. "You must never, ever allow this book to fall into the hands of Sachiko. Because if it did, she'd be unstoppable."

Satoshi nodded. "We promise." he said. "And you must never let your parents see this book. And especially never let them open it and read from it." Ayumi nodded. "I understand how it works." Ayumi said. "So, we can have the book then?" Naomi asked. "You may borrow he book. You have to return it when you are done." The Guardian said. Ayumi cautiously walked up to the pedestal and picked up the book, not being shot back or anything, like Yoshiki had been. She walked back to her friends, seeing that Yoshiki had gotten up already. "You should go now." the Guardian said. "I must go into slumber again. Bring the book back when you are finished with it." The spirit of the Guardian slowly disappeared, until Satoshi and his friends were alone again. They all just stood there for several minutes, before Satoshi spoke up. "I suppose we should get out of here, right?" he asked. Ayumi looked at him. "Sounds like a good idea." Ayumi replied. They all walked down the tunnel they had come from and eventually started walking up the stairs back up to the old farm house. By the time they had gotten up there, the sun had just barely gone down and it was beginning to get dark. "We need to get home." Ayumi said. "Well, you don't say." Yoshiki replied. "Come on, let's start walking." Satoshi replied. They all walked towards the gate to the property and stepped over it.

Two Hours Later...

Yoshiki

After they had made it back to their neighborhood, the four friends departed. Except for Yoshiki and Satoshi who walked home together. They walked next to each other for several seconds, until Yoshiki sighed. "Dude?" he said to his friend. Satoshi looked over at him. "What's up, Yoshiki?" Satoshi asked. They stopped walking, as he decided how he should confess. "I uh, have a confession to make." he finally said, in a shaky voice. "Yeah?" Satoshi asked, raising an eyebrow as he laughed. "What's the confession?" He sighed. "You were right." he said. "I do have a crush on Ayumi. You were right and I'm sorry for being such a douche." Satoshi just stared at his friend. "Wait, what?" Satoshi asked. "You heard me." he said. "I have a crush on Ayumi." Satoshi just continued to stare. "You were denying it for the longest time. Why are you accepting it now?" Satoshi asked. He sighed. "I've been asking myself that for quiet a while, Mochida-San." he said. "I think I hated how you accused me of having a crush on her. And once the dreams started, I began to have an interest in her well being. It's when I had the dream about being in my mind that I realized I did care. I think I was just oblivious towards my knowledge of having a crush on her."

"Yeah?" Satoshi asked. "So, you think you didn't even know you had a crush on her?" He nodded. "That's right. The only problem is, I have no idea how to break it to her." he said. "What do you mean?" Satoshi asked. "Well, you remember what she said in Heavenly Host, right?" Satoshi stared off into space and finally looked back and said, "No, I don't remember." Satoshi said. "Care to jog my memory?" He smiled at his friend. "Gladly." he said. "When we were in Heavenly Host, she said: 'I could never fall in love with you! It would be disgusting. It would be atrocious, horrifying! I would be a disgrace to my family!' Sound familiar?" Satoshi sighed. "Vaguely familiar." Satoshi replied, yawning. "Ok, so you think she doesn't like you back?" Satoshi asked. He nodded. "Take it slow, I guess. Make slow movements and small gestures towards your real feelings for her." He sighed. "I guess you're right. I guess I should try that." Satoshi sighed once more. "Look, I'd love to help. But I need to get some rest. Meet me in the library at school tomorrow morning and we'll talk more." He shook his head. "I can't do that. I have to stay home because of the fracture in my ribs." he said. Satoshi sighed angrily. "Fine, I'll meet you at your place tomorrow after school. Good night my friend." Satoshi said, before turning around and walking in the direction towards his house. He waved. "Yeah, good night." he said, before walking towards his house as well.

A/N: I am so sorry for not updating in such a long time. I try to stick to a regular schedule for my Fanfictions, but it usually doesn't work and goes to hell really, really quick. So, no more of this. No more of sticking to a regular schedule for Fanfictions. I just can't do it anymore. So, the chapters will be put out when I can get them out. I just can't schedule them anymore, because the system messes with my schooling. So, the Advanced Spider-Man Fanfiction, Ben 10 Fanfiction, Corpse Party Fanfiction, Halo/RVB Fanfiction and my other Spider-Man Fanfiction are no longer schedule based. I will get all of their respective chapters out when I can. I highly implore you to check the other stories out, as they are pretty good. I would really like it if you checked out the Halo/RVB Fanfiction, as it will be getting a sequel before the end of the year. I'd like it to be before the end of the summer, but I don't think that'll happen. So, that pretty much wraps this up. Peace out!
