Chapter 19: Shattered Dimensions: Part 1
Disclaimer: I Don't Own Corpse Party Or Any of the Characters
A/N: Hello and welcome to the next chapter of Corpse Party! This chapter will be the start of a four or six part story arc, titled Shattered Dimensions. Also, all four or six parts will be shorter than normal chapters, due to it being a story arc. The story arc will focus on the characters trying to escape the dimensions that Naho has sent them all off to. The reason they were sent off to these dimensions, was because it's a punishment from Naho. She is punishing them because they basically pissed her off while attempting to negotiate with her. I hope that you enjoy this chapter and if you enjoy the story, please do not hesitate to favorite and follow this story. With that said, getting on with the chapter.
Seiko
Seiko was woken up, by a light slapping on her cheeks. She groaned as she sat up and held her head, as if she had a headache. "Seiko!" she heard Naomi's voice, as she sat up. She looked at Naomi, with a worried look on her face. "Naomi?" she asked in a disgusted voice. "What the hell do you want?" Naomi looked hurt, but Seiko didn't care. Why does she think we are friends? Seiko eventually saw the hurt look in her eyes disappear, replaced with a look of fear. "Where are we?" Naomi asked. "I don't know." she said, not feeling angry anymore, but curious instead. "Seiko?" Naomi asked. She sounded scared. Genuinly horrified. Now Seiko felt scared.
"Yeah?" she asked. "What's in that stall?" Naomi asked. Seiko looked at it, but couldn't see what was inside. "I don't know!" she exclaimed. Just then, scaring the living daylights out of her, there was a flash of lightning outside. Seiko heard the gut wrenching scream that escaped Naomi's mouth, as whatever was in the stall scared her. She began to cry, as she scooted back. "What's wrong?! What is it?!" Seiko shouted. Naomi didn't answer. She eventually hit the back wall and started to rock back and forth, continuing to cry. Seiko scooted over to Naomi. "Naomi! What's wrong?!" she asked. Naomi shook her head as she kept crying. "No, no, no! Please, not this again! Please, I don't want to relive this!" Naomi exclaimed, as she cried. "What do you mean?" Seiko asked. "Naomi!"
Naomi just pointed to the stall. Seiko turned around, but the light that the flash from outside had made was gone. It was too dark again to see what was in there. What had upset Naomi so much. Seiko had no idea what to do. She just sat next to Naomi, asking her what she had seen over and over again. She didn't answer. Her cries became quieter, but she never answered. All of a sudden, there was another flash of lightning and that made Naomi scream with terror once again. "What it is?" Seiko shouted at her. "What did you see?" Naomi still didn't answer, and once again, Seiko was too late to see what was in the stall. She would just have to wait for the next flash of lightning to see what Naomi had seen.
Yoshiki
"Dun, dun, dun!" one of the versions of himself said, trying to sound ominous and dramatic. Yoshiki turned around to face the one who had said that. "Okay, which one of you numbskulls said that?" he asked. "That would be Mister Drama Queen." one of the hims said. "Guilty!" the one called Mister Drama Queen yelled at the top of his lungs. Yoshiki clapped his hands over his ears, as did the other hims. "What the hell?" he said, after he took his hands off of his ears. "Why did you do that?" He felt a tug at his sleeve. He looked down to see Ayumi standing there, looking annoyed as hell. "Hey! I asked you a question! I expect a real answer!" she exclaimed. "I told you we're in my mind!" he said in return.
"That doesn't even make sense!" Ayumi yelled. Yoshiki sighed. "Someone tell her!" he said. His mental image of Ayumi stepped forward. "Wait a second, who are you?" the real Ayumi asked. "I'm you." Ayumi #2 said. "How is that even possible?!" Ayumi # 1 exclaimed. "I'm Kishinuma-Kun's mental image of you." Ayumi #2 replied. All of a sudden, one of the hims spoke up. "Oh, Ayumi-Chan!" Everyone looked to one of the Yoshikis, wearing a pink jacket, instead of a black one, running towards Ayumi #2. She smiled. "Yoshiki-Kun!" They both ran for each other and hugged as if they were a couple. "What the hell?!" Yoshiki exclaimed, while Ayumi #1 just itched her head in confusion. "I don't recall my mind being this fucked up when I last visited!"
Just then, a new voice spoke. "Sup, people?" he heard someone ask. Yoshiki turned to his left, to see Satoshi, Naomi and Seiko walking up to all of them. "Satoshi? What the hell are you guys doing in here?!" he asked. "Oh, I'm in here all the time, jackass. I'm in here with Nakashima-Chan. You know how it is." Satoshi said, before making a kissy face at Naomi, who returned that face. "What the hell? What's wrong with you?!" Yoshiki exclaimed. "This isn't really Satoshi!" Ayumi #2 said, pulling away from Red Jacket Yoshiki. "This is your mental image of Satoshi!" Yoshiki sighed. "Okay, that makes more sense." he said. "So, I guess the latter is true as well?" Ayumi #2 nodded. "Hey, Satoshi? Why are we here?" Yoshiki asked.
Before Satoshi could respond, one of the Yoshikis spoke up. "Shut up, you!" Yoshiki turned to face the one that said that. He saw a version of himself, sporting a smirk, with a look of hate burning in his eyes. "Did you say that?" he asked, pointing at him. "Yeah, I fucking did." he said. "Wait, who are you?" Yoshiki asked him. "My name is Yoshiki Kishinuma you jerkface." Yoshiki ignored him and turned back to Satoshi. "Who is he?" Yoshiki asked. Before Satoshi could answer, Yoshiki got punched in the jaw. Yoshiki got sent backwards a little. "Ow! What was that for?" he asked, as he looked at the version of himself that had punched him. "I'm not going to let you steal my best friend, you rimjob!" he said. Yoshiki scratched his head after hearing this.
"Huh?" was all he could ask. One of the hims, a Yoshiki in a Sky Blue jacket, began to cry like a baby. "What's wrong with him?" Yoshiki asked. "He's always like that." Ayumi #2 said. "Why?" Yoshiki asked. Before she could answer, Seiko spoke. "Hey, where's Naomi?" she asked. "Right here." Naomi responded. Naomi looked at Seiko, who gave her a devious grin. Naomi looked nervous, as Seiko made what could be considered a "squeezing motion" with her hands. Seiko stepped closer to Naomi and Naomi bolted. Naomi ran, while Seiko chased her, laughing gleefully as she ran. Seiko chased Naomi in circles around the group, making squeezing motions as she ran.
"Shinozaki, stay here." Yoshiki told Ayumi #1. "But-" was all she could say as Yoshiki walked off and walked over to Satoshi. "Hey, Satoshi? Answer a question for me." he said. "Yeah? What's that?" Satoshi asked. "What the hell is wrong with Shinohara? A few minutes ago, she hated Nakashima!" Yoshiki said, as Seiko chased Naomi around in another circle. "Oh come on dude! We both know that Shinohara-Chan is bisexual! And at times Naomi can be, too." Satoshi said. "Bullshit! That's crap and you know it!" Yoshiki said. "Hey, butt brunch! Don't talk to my best friend like that!" Yoshiki heard the hateful version of himself say, followed by a whack to the neck. "Ow! Don't do that!" Yoshiki exclaimed, before turning and punching his assailant in the stomach.
"Don't kill us, Mr. Sidekick!" the Yoshiki in Sky Blue exclaimed, continuing to cry. "Hey, idiot! I'm Satoshi's sidekick, not him! Now shut your pie hole!" Angry Yoshiki shouted. Yoshiki had enough. He kicked the angry version of himself in the stomach, causing him to topple. Yoshiki slammed his hands over his ears, to block the sounds of the crying, Seiko's gleeful laughs and all of the shouting among the other five versions of himselves. After ten seconds of holding his ears, he could still just barely hear. He couldn't take it anymore. Yoshiki let his hands fall to his sides and he screamed as loud as he could. "Everyone stop! Shut up! Everyone stop what you are doing and just shut up!" he screamed. Everyone stopped doing what they were doing and looked at him as if he were crazy. "I demand an explanation of why we are here!" he shouted, a look of anger burning in his eyes.
Satoshi
Satoshi opened his eyes, to find himself back in the same dimly lit classroom. The same dimly lit classroom with the boarded up windows and doors. "What the hell?" he asked, as he stood up. "Where am I? No. I'm in this classroom again." He looked around, to see Yuka just waking up beside him. Satoshi shook his head, as he waited for the cycle to start again. Pretty soon, a completely black figure with glowing yellow eyes, would begin to tear it's way into the room, followed by others. Satoshi had no idea what the point to this was. The only thing he could think of was that he had too survive against these things. It seems that he and Yuka don't get very far, before the creatures overwhelm and kill them both. Only problem is, he and Yuka don't stay dead.
Whenever they get killed, they just restart at the exact same spot. Hell, Satoshi could even remember a few times when they died and restarted. One of them was when Yuka was some how decapitated. And the other he remembered was when he was pushed down and they began to feed on his entrails. No joke. It was one of the more horrifying experiences that he has recently had. But, they were at it again. They had been sent back to the start. It doesn't matter if just one of them are killed, now that he thought of it. If one of them died, they restarted the whole thing. Satoshi heard the creatures begin to attack again. He immediately ran to the window that the creatures were attacking and began to punch them in the head, which killed them pretty quickly. It seemed that they started out weak, but get stronger as time went on.
He knew this because at the end of one "wave", the boards that were on the window would be put back up by supernatural forces. And he also noticed that one punch to the head wouldn't kill the creatures anymore. He let out a sigh as he ran to another window and waited for another creature. They never came. Instead, he didn't hear Yuka's screams when she was attacked. And just like that, they were sent back to the start once again.
Ayumi
It felt like an hour had passed. But Kishinuma and Ayumi finally understood to a degree, why they were here. Right now, Kishinuma was off talking to his different emotions, as they tried to not make him angry, again. They were trying their best to explain and he was trying his best to listen. It makes sense now, why there are so many different versions of Kishinuma-Kun. He was always a pretty emotionally imbalanced person, even after the first Heavenly Host incident. While they talked, Kishinuma's mental image of Shinohara continued to chase his mental image of Nakashima around the foggy, white room. All of a sudden, Ayumi saw Kishinuma's mental image of herself approach her. "Hello, Shinozaki-Chan." she said, as she reached her.
"Who - What are you again?" Ayumi asked. "I'm Kishinuma-Kun's mental image of you." Ayumi #2 said. Ayumi #1 nodded, before realizing something was a bit off. "Wait. I have a question." she said. "Oh? What would that be?" Ayumi #2 asked. "You can't be Kishinuma's mental image of myself! You're too beautiful to be me! I mean, you are like fashion model pretty! Why is that? I'm almost jealous of myself!" Ayumi #1 said. Ayumi #2 gestured to her. "Follow me." she said, as she walked out a door, into a hallway lit by sunlight. They both walked down the hallway a little bit. Ayumi #2 smiled, as she looked out the window. "I just love these halls, after Kishinuma purged Sachiko from his mind." she said.
"So, he was telling the truth that time on the Shinozaki Estate? He really was inside of his own mind?" Ayumi #1 asked. Ayumi #2 nodded. "So, you asked why I am the way I am?" she asked. Ayumi #1 nodded. "Well, I am the way he sees you, Ayumi-Chan. The way he sees you. He thinks that you are beautiful." Ayumi #2 said. This surprised Ayumi #1. "What? Why?" she asked. "It's the same reason that he comforted you after your attack a few hours ago." Ayumi #1 was shocked now. "How did you-" she was speaking, but Ayumi #2 interrupted.
"It's why he strives to make sure that your always safe. It's why he never wants you to stop wearing your hair in those cute pigtails. It's why he was so concerned for your safety during your first visit to Heavenly Host. It's also why he couldn't bring himself to harm you when he was brainwashed." Ayumi #2 continued. "What do you mean?" Ayumi #1 asked. Ayumi #2 finished her explanation. "Ayumi-Chan, is it really not obvious to you? He looks at you like you want Mochida-Kun to look at you. Saying he has fallen for you is an understatement." she said. "Ayumi-Chan, it shouldn't be obvious anymore. Ayumi-Chan, Kishinuma-Kun is deeply in love with you."
A/N: So, there you go for the chapter. Ayumi now knows about Yoshiki's feelings for her. Now, it's just up to her whether she believes it and if she returns his feelings. I am more than convinced that this may have been a confusing chapter, at least for Yoshiki and Ayumi. They are in his mind. And the other Yoshikis? They are his emotions. The one he was always getting into fights with is his hatred, despite what it says. And the one in the Sky Blue jacket is his sadness. Also, his mental image of Ayumi has returned, along with the debuts of Seiko, Naomi and Satoshi's mental images. Just to clarify the whole "Ayumi #1 and Ayumi #2" thing, Ayumi #1 is the real Ayumi Shinozaki. Ayumi #2 is Yoshiki's mental image of the character. As for Seiko and Naomi? They are in an exact recreation of the lavatory that Seiko was hung in. And Satoshi and Yuka? They are stuck in Dimension 64.
Dimension 64 is the dimension that the second sequel for this story will take place in. Yes, there will be sequels for this story eventually, if I hadn't confirmed it yet. I'd like to bring something up now. I don't get as many favorites, reviews or views that I feel like other Corpse Party stories get and that is saying something, because Corpse Party is not the most popular topic out there for Fanfiction. So, I usually don't ask for those three things, like on a daily basis, but I kind of am now.
And unless this story gets more of these three things, this story will not be updated as often as it does anymore. I'll go back to the "a chapter every two or three weeks" that I did back when this story first started. So, with that being said, as always, please don't forget to favorite and follow this story if you enjoyed. Please drop a review or PM if you want to submit input. As I said before, I try to respond to all reviews and PMs. With all of that said, I'm going to go. So have a fantastic night and bye.
