(Author's Note: Thanks again guys and ,of course, ladies, I still cannot believe that this fanfic is already getting so many reviews, followers, and favorites. Coughs and now for the chapter, enjoy.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Corpse Party, its franchise, or its characters, just this fanfiction.
Intense lightning crackles above crushed school that is Heavenly Host Elementary; a young girl wearing a tattered, red dress watches the lightning dance in the sky from the school's roof. Loud thunder rocks the entire building as the lightning strikes a nearby tree, reducing it to a splintered mass of broken wood and scorched leaves.
The sound of glass catches the childlike spirits attention. A boy falls out of one of the second story's window, followed by a intriguing yet gruesome sound. The girl glances down at the boy that fell from the window and giggles morbidly at the boy. His body is bent and twisted at a very unnatural angle with fresh blood staining the grass around him.
A feminine scream kills the short lifespan of the bone-chilling silence, " INAMI, NO!"
"Mi...ka..san" Inami silently whispers to himself, "R...u..n." His body twitches slightly for several seconds, then remains ominously still.
Mikasan sinks down to the cold floor and whimpers, "This...wasn't supposed to happen. You weren't supposed die, not like that...You were going to be a programmer just like you wanted to..I am so sorry."
"Shig! This way, hurry!" Mayu calls out to Morishige who is barely keeping up with Mayu's remarkable pace despite her eternal injuries, "Shinohara is this way."
"O-okay." Morishige answers her when he finally catches up to her.
"Shig, we are wasting too much time like this. At the rate we are going, it might be too late to help her.."
"Go ahead Suzume..." Morishige pants, "I will catch up with you, trust me."
Mayu looks at him concerned, "Are you sure that is a good idea?"
"Yeah," He nods, "Don't worry about me Mayu, I will be alright."
Mayu looks down the next hallway where Seiko might be and looks back at Morishige, "Okay, Shig..." She quickly runs to Morishige and gives him a light kiss on his lips, "Don't fall too far behind...okay?"
He blushes slightly but no words come out of his mouth. Mayu grins and runs down the corridor with Morishige following behind.
Meanwhile...
"L-let me go!" Seiko yells at her attacker, spitting in his spectral face.
"No..." Her attacker snarls and slams Seiko into the wall with nearly superhuman strength.
"Please..." She begs him when he slams her into the wall again. He did not respond to her plea for mercy but instead grabbed her damaged throat with his strong hands and slowly lifted her until she was dangling off of the floor.
"I know exactly who you are..." She coughs, "You are...Yuuya Kizami... The bas...who has been help-ping Sachiko by..k-killing innocent teenagers and children just ...for the fun of it. That's you, correct?!"
Kizami deviously grins, "Yet I thought my attempts were barely being noticed...I am relieved that someone is aware of my work." He applies pressure to her neck and retrieves a knife from his jeans's side pocket.
"You..sick bastard." Seiko begins to choke.
"Thank you very much" Kizami chuckles and continues crushing Seiko's throat, "Too bad no one else wil-" Something slams him into a wall before he could finish his sentence. Kizami grabs his knife from off of the floor and tries to slash whatever slammed into him. The figures takes the knife from him and stabs Kizami deep into his abdomen. Surprised, Kizami falls backwards and hits his head on a desk, stunning him. Finally free from Kizami's grasp, Seiko collapses against the wall in relief.
"Let...her..go, Kizami" The figure says, slowly rising off of the floor.
"Suzume?" Seiko asks the figure who saved her from Kizami.
"Yeah, its me Seiko." Mayu glances at Kizami, who seems to be stunned from the impact, "Come on, we need to get away from him before he gathers his senses." Seiko leaned on Mayu for support and the two of them slowly made their way out of the room. Seiko is the first to make it out of the room, but something grabs Mayu and drags her back into the classroom.
"Mayu!" Seiko grabs Mayu's arm and starts pulling her out of the doorway.
"Its Kizami..." Mayu's eye widen in fear, "Seiko you need to let go of my arm..." Kizami pulls out his blood-stained knife out of the side of his body and sinks it into Mayu's leg.
"But Suzume..."
"SEIKO LET GO NOW!" Mayu nearly screams in pain and tries to kick Kizami with her free leg.
"Mayu!" Seiko tries to grab Mayu's arm again but Mayu pushes her away.
"Go find Shig..please Seiko, hurry." Mayu nearly pleads to her, "I am begging you.." Seiko backs away and runs off to find Morishige.
(Author's Note: Hmm...a cliffhanger. Well, the next chapter is going to be much longer than this one, I promise. Read and review, until next time -OrcaremiFox.)
