Naomi x Seiko: Stay with me (Corpse Party)

Part 24 'Last Goodbye'

Naomi's P.O.V

What should I do? We can't just leave him here to die, can we? We have to help him. As I come back to my senses, I see the struggling boy still hanging on for dear life. The tears in his eyes overflow and slowly stream down either side of his cheeks. "Every-one...Just go." Satoshi sobbed uncontrollably. "Its funny how you still fear for your friends, not like any of them really care about you, hehe." Kizami said with a sinster smile. No one spoke another word after that, not because it was true but I think its because it was unimaginable. Satoshi was the boy we all knew and loved...before he did those things. "Satoshi!" Yoshiki cried. "Why are...you still here?" He asked. Yeah, why were we still standing here? We weren't doing anything of use so why.

I look across the eerie hallway at Satoshi who still held a strong grip. He let out a large grunt before manoeuvering his hands. "Na-Naomi! We've got to help him. Please." Yoshiki pleaded with me. "We-" Yoshiki was interuppetd by the wail of the hanging boy. I glanced at Satoshi's current state and my heart stopped for only a mere second. "Oops, sorry I slipped." Kizami spoke with his demon red eyes. Satoshi, now with only one hand gripping the edge, he tries reaching it with his free hand but continues to struggle. My heart races at a powerful speed, almost as if it is about to burst straight out of my chest. "Naomi! Come on." Yoshiki shouts urgently. "Oh, Kizami." Satoshi started. With that, Kizami looked down with a painfully slow speed. He locked his view on Satoshi who had now managed to grasp onto Kizami's leg. "If I'm going...down, then you're coming with me." Satoshi spat out as he let go of the edge, still grasping onto Kizami. The weight of him caused Kizami to be off balance, even though there is weight being pulled down on him, he still manages to quickly grab onto the edge.

I stare in complete disbelief, refusing to believe that he could hold on. Its like he's trying to defy the laws of physics. Staring at the unbelievable act of strength, I see the light haired boy jump over onto the other side without warning. I glance at him, his teary eyes are red and clearly irritated. His fists are in a tight grip and his teeth have started to grind. He was distinctly upset about it all. As I stared hard at the very disturbed boy, I feel a new warmth place on moist skin. Whoever it was, placed their head in the groove of my neck. Seiko right? I really am glad she is here with me, but I would've preferred it if she was somewhere safe...so I could put my mind at rest. There's nothing we can do right now to save Satoshi, I'm sorry we couldn't do anything...I really am. I began to cry to which my body responded in little jumps. Seiko put her hand on my shoulder still with her head planted in my neck. I turned around and instantly embraced her, putting my hand around her waist and using her shoulder as a mini chin rest.

She hushed continously for a few seconds before gently stroking my short brown hair. In return, I embraced her slightly more, squeezing her waist. Still with arms sturdily placed around Seiko's waist I turn my head backwards to see what Yoshiki was doing. He was stood directly above Kizami, who still held on strong. "Satoshi I'm sorry...for not saving you." Yoshiki sobbed whilst kneeling down. "You couldn't have done anything more, now please go. Don't get yourselves trapped...Don't end up like me." Satoshi spoke as he stared up with tears running down his face freeley. "As a last wish...Please...Help me remove...This coward from the sanctity...Of life." Satoshi spoke his last words. Yoshiki gave a face of confusion downwards to his friend. "Remove?" Yoshiki stuttered with confusion. It was quite obvious what he was going to do. In all my years of being his friend...I would have never thought he would sacrafice himself like this. I looked at Satoshi who now started to hammer the leg of Kizami, irritating him.

Kizami, obviously didn't agree with this and started to retaliate vigorously by shaking his legs around. "So this is...Goodbye then?" Yoshiki struggled to hold back his overflowing tears. "You dare and I swear that I will find you and kill you." Kizami threatened. "I'm sorry Satoshi...We will meet again." Yoshiki looked away as he took a profound step forward. He placed his heavy foot on Kizami's hand and instantly put an abundant amount of pressure onto it causing Kizami to wail in pain and drop his hand. "Idiot! Do it then or are you too scared?" Kizami teased Yoshiki. With no words, Yoshiki moved his right foot directly above Kizami's last hand and slowly brought it down, unhuriedly squashing the hand hand underneath it. "I'll see you in hell...soon." Kizami's last words struck Yoshiki's worked up state causing him to move his head violently from side to side. As if something had switched on in his head, Yoshiki looked down at Kizami with evil eyes before stamping quickly and effectively on his last hand. The abrupt motion was enough for him to leave the ledge, thus bringing down Kizami and Satoshi. Yoshiki colapsed on the spot and started to scream Satoshi's name, he brought both hands to both sides of his head and shouted as loud as his voice box could produce. The tears that were prodced earlier but didn't fall, now fully cover my face leaving salty taste in my mouth. Mayu runs over to me and Seiko and tries to console me.

I turn around and see Yoshiki's red face look up off of the ground staring at me with gentle eyes. He gets up and walks backwards before jumping across here for the second time within the course of ten minutes. Mayu welcomes him with open arms to which he obliges. He squeezes the small girl with all his might. I let go of Seiko who seemed quite relaxed but at the same time, on slight unease. I placed my hand in hers, she squeezed my hand gently before reverting back to a normal pressure. "Thanks Mayu...I really needed that." Yoshiki spoke as he forced a slight smile. "Right, I-I think we should-Go." He started before moving in front of us. With nothing else left to do, we followed close to him. "Yoshiki, can we stop for a rest because I think everyone needs it right now...Especially you." Mayu quietly suggested, as she tugged the dusty sleeve of Yoshiki's uniform. He sighed and smiled before pointing to the classroom not to far ahead. "Thanks." Yoshiki smiled to Mayu. She ever so slightly blushed but quickly reverted back to her normal state. As we drew nearer to the derelict room, I searched around for the name of it. If its a medical room, that would be the room we would need to be in right now. For the seconds I looked for it, I couldn't find any clues as to which it could've given to us but that was before I looked up. Blood dripped at a lazy speed onto the floorboards below, splashing and causing a large hazard. "Infir-mar-Oh right, guys its the infirmary." I pointed out.

Yoshiki decides to walk in with fear in his eyes, boldy grabbing the bloodied handle of the door, he enetered the dark and intimidating room. I went in after and assisted him by using my phone as a mini flashlight. I shone it around the whole room until I covered most of it. Something caught my eye as I went over it. A shiny object lay open on the dirty floor, my curiosity got the better of me and I set a foot of coming closer to it. I shone my light directly on and was shocked by the result. A panda necklace lay in the middle of the floor, one quite similar to our homeroom's one, very similar. As I crouch down to pick it up, as sound from the corner of the room startles me, thus making me fall backswards on my behind. The moaning continues, my heartbeat rises and my phone's light dims. In the heat of the moment, I start to hit my phone trying to make it come back on but all was futile. "He...lp me...Kishi...numa." The eerie voice calls out for our friend. "Who's there? Who's speaking?" Yoshiki called out. "Where...did you...run off to?" It calls out again. The voice sounds familiar. Wait...Panda necklace was similar to Ms Yui's. Could it be? "Ms Yui?" I called out briefly. "Kishi...numa-kun!"

The voice trailed off into the distance. "Ms Yui!" Yoshiki shouted. He came shooting out of the side of my eye, frantically searching behind various tables. He stopped before proceeding to the left of me. "Guys! She's here." Yoshiki spoke before motioning his hand for us to come over. Three of us crowed the area which Yoshiki was. I saw our Homeroom teacher slumped up against a pile of old books, in a half conscious state. She didn't seem at all harmed in anyway but we still had to be careful. Yoshiki grabbed her shoulders and began to move her gently out of her little corner. We then stepped in and lifted her legs up off of the ground. We put her on the ground but out of any further danger. From the looks of it, she seemed quite relaxed. We all decided to sit down next to her, I sat next to Seiko and on the other side of her was Yoshiki, Mayu sat close to him leaving on a slight gap. "Its been...One hell of a day hasn't it." I spoke all of a sudden, trying to avoid a silence. "Yeah...I can't stop thinking about-abou-." Seiko interrupted the stuttering boy. "Its ok, you don't need to worry, Seiko will provide everything that is needed." She said with a reassuring smile. "You being here is more than enough for me." I grinned whilst producing red cheeks. I wanted to kiss her right then...but it would have made the situation more difficult. In a way, we were the ones that started this whole thing, we should've have made it more...private.

You can't stop love though, no matter if it is forbbiden or judged upon. Love isn't love if it is forced, love is unconditional and kind...just like Seiko's heart. It was just then that I started to reminisce about the times we all had as a class with mere disagreements and fighting. Back when it was calm and we were all kind to one another. When we get out, I hope it goes back to that again, even though we have lost one to the school. I'm sorry Satoshi, but...Thank you.

This was the last goodbye...

...Goodbye my friend.
