Blood Moon

Chapter 31

*Hiroshi's Pov*

Nighttime had came by fast...

As we made it on over to Minami Aoyama 2 Chome 33 Minato-ku, Tokyo, which is the location of Aoyama Cemetery.

Yuma: Well, we're here~! Whose ready to kick some ghost's ass~?

We got here by our motocycles. Yamada had his while I had mines. Kamishiro rode behind me as usual since she didn't have one.

Kaede: Are you sure if it's a good idea for you to be out again? What if that policeman is watching you?

Me: I got that covered. Himeno had pulled some strings to make sure that guy is in line for now.

Kaede: Eeep...I don't even want to know how he do it.

Yuma: The perks of being a Yakuza Prince.

It's fun but the exact same time...scary...

Even if Himeno can't last in a fight like I and Yamada can. But he does hold enough connections that could put anybody out of business.

Me: Anyway...the burial ground...

There was no guards here at the cemetery. Surprisedly.

Kaede: Oh? In case you're wondering where the guards at? Well there also been rumors that they been disappearing as well, so not a lot of people are hardly seen here.

Oh...

Yuma: Yikes...I got chills...For once I hope the ghosts here are just on a break...

Do ghosts even take breaks...?

Kaede: Here.

Kamishiro pulls out some talismans and gave them to us?

Yuma: What this stick of paper?

Kaede: They're talismans. Like I told Hiroshi-kun. They bring good luck and ward off aganist evil spirits.

Yuma: Oh. Neat.

Kaede: Anyway. About Gashadokuro Hakamori. Since I really don't anything about them. It's best we really be careful. It could be anywhere in this cemetery.

Me: Alright? You guys ready?

Yuma: Can I blow something up?

Me/Kaede: NOOOOO!

Yuma: *Pouts*

Is this idiot trying to get us caught?! Just imagine the headlines if something like that were to happen!

Yuma: Fine...I'll do it only if it's necessary...

Kaede: Let's just get going...we need to make sure we stop Hannya-Sama and find out Gashadokuro Hakamori's grudge. Can you do like you did last time?

Me: I'll try...but don't blame me if things don't go my way.

We walked around the cemetery. Yamada was on guard with his bat.

Yuma Hey Hiroshi? How do you like my new bat?

I turned to look at it. It wasn't an ordinary bat. It was cybermetrix futuristic one. Since Yamada's weapon contain multiple explosions. He completely fought others where rival gangs with quasi-superpowers play/fight against each other in an extreme measures (and thereby devastating the city).

Me: It looks cool.

Yuma: Yeah. Pretty badass. Those ghosts won't know what hit them..

Kaede: Umm...Guys...

We turned to Kamishiro.

Me: Yeah...?

Kaede: Do you...see that?

We turned our heads to a couple of signs with "!" mark on them.

Me: What a perculiar mark...Do you know what this means, Kamishiro.

Kaede: Yes. Some recent events ago. Visitors who come to the cemetery have remarked seeing signs with "!" on them. In general, a sign with "!" on it is usually followed by a set of rules or warnings that people need to heed, such as 'Don't walk on the grass' or 'Be careful of traffic.' Yet this particular sign has no warnings, simply a large "!" on it.

Yuma: So what does it mean? I don't get it.

Kaede: If you see one of these signs, chances are it's warning you that there are ghosts about. The signs pop up all over the park, and according to the rumours, when they do, you best get out of there quick-smart. Ghosts are on the prowl, and you don't want to be around for them to find you.

Yuma: Oh.....

Me:....

To bad we can't leave...We just got here and I need to find out more about Gashadokuro Hakamori.

Me: I remembered something...When Tomoki spoke to me a night ago. He asked me to find his body. Do you think his body could be somewhere in this cemetery?

Kamishiro pursed her lips and thought for a moment.

Kaede: I wouldn't put it pass you if that was the case...if Tomoki-kun's body is 100% here. Then it's best we go look for it first. Then confront Gashadokuro Hakamori later.

Me: ?!

I suddenly saw a shadow. No wait...two shadows. One was small and the other was large.

They appeared behind Kamishiro.

Me: Kamishiro...

Kaede: Hmm...What is it?

Me: Behind you.

However, the moment she turned. The two figures had vanished.

Kaede:...I don't see anything....Wait...But I do feel something.

Yuma: You feel something? Woman are strange...

Kaede: No. Not like that. I feel a chill. Does that mean a ghost was just here.

I nodded at her.

Instead of feeling scared. She looked excited.

Kaede: OMG! Who were they? Do you know what they were like? Did you get a good view of them? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!

Me: Calm down, Miss Spooky Idol. All I saw was a shadow. They disappeared down the corner to the left.

Kaede: Ah! Then we should follow them! They could give us some clues.

Me:....Or lead us to death.

Kaede: Come on! Come on!

Yuma: Hey! Wait for me!

Kamishiro started dragging me while Yamada followed us deeper into the cemetery.

....

"Wait...Please..."

Me: Eh? Did you guys say something?

Yuma: Hmm?

Kaede: Not a word. Why?

Me:....Oh...?

I looked around but I couldn't see anybody.

If they weren't the ones who said anything...then who did...?
