The Misaki Stairs 1

There's a secret rule regarding that staircase that you must never break
You must never step foot on the fourth step
Why?
Because. . .
you'll be taken to the other side

•=Amane's POV=•

'Tsubaki seemed off yesterday She said "So, you guys are ok with a murderer?" I couldn't see her face but I felt a little angry in her tone, no, that's not right. . .' 

The sound of Nene and Aoi's voices snapped me out of my thoughts "Hey, were you listening?"

"l-I'm sorry Aoi." I said while blushing "You've been staring out into space more lately, Is it possible that Amane has a crush!" Aoi said excitedly "W-WHAT! No, of course not!! I just got a lot on my mind that's all" I said trying to lie my way out of the thought "Well, Nene wants to hear the latest rumor, you wanna listen too?" Aoi asked and I nodded "Well, have you heard of School Mystery No. 2,

"The Misaki stairs

You must never step on the Fourth Step of the staircase, if you break that rule you'll be dragged into the other world and be torn between life and death

Some say that at twilight the blood of victims can be seen on the stairs with no source"

"A-And what staircase i-is it??" Nene asked sacred "Staircase B in front of the art room" Aoi replied with a scary voice as she looked at us "Uh? Why is Amane-kun shaking? Don't you like scary stories, Amane-kun?" Aoi asked concerned "I do! I-I do like them" I replied embarrassed 'It's just that all of your stories have somehow come true!?' I yelled out in my head, Aoi was called over by a teacher reminding her about Career Counseling "Oh Right! I'll find another scary story to tell you guys! See you later!" She yelled at us as she ran to her teacher "Nene look," I said as I pointed to the flowers Aoi watered "They're blooming, Aoi will be so happy tomorrow" Yashiro smiled as we walked out for the day

*+Time Skip+*

I walked into my classroom when I noticed Nene standing near Aoi's flowers from yesterday "Hey nene? Are you ok?-"

"They're gone?" She whimpered as I looked at the flowers they were all gone "Uh? B-but they were here yesterday, right?" I asked confused looking around for them "Who would do such a thing!??" Nene yelled shaking my shoulder as if I were the one responsible "Her desk isn't even in the class anymore!" She said her hand shaking as she pointed at where Aoi's desk was supposed to be

'What the?. . .'

I looked over at some Mokke, wondering if they knew what was happening. They just shook their heads and hopped away with their candies. The teacher from yesterday came in for the homeroom and we asked what happened to the flowers and Aoi. "Oh well, He's on summer flower duty" He pointed at a guy as he was watering the so-called 'flower' while yawning. "and Aoi? No one here is named Aoi" He continued

"Aoi, who's that?"

"Are they ok?"

"Creepy..." Everyone in class whispered amongst themselves as Yashiro was seemingly stuck in time "U-um Sensei, can I take Yashiro to the nurse's office? I don't think she's doing so well." I asked as I walked Yashiro outside the class "Of course, return to class quickly for roll call." He replied going back to the class. We walked towards the lockers as Nene pulled out her phone to call Aoi, nothing, then her house number
