••••••••••••"Huh?..What are you all doing up this late?"
Komaru said as she tiredly stepped out of her room, rubbing her eyes. All 4 of her (adopted) children were standing in front of her, holding a variety of blankets and stuffed animals.
"There's a ghost in our room and it was coming to get us!" The red haired boy, Masaru shouted as he held onto his blanket for dear life.
"Yeah! It was big and tall and totally scary!!" Kotoko cried as she fidgeted with her bubblegum pink hair that was tied into a big messy ponytail
"J-Jeez you guys are loud..You know ghosts aren't real..just go back to bed; you all have school in the morning." Another tall woman said, while adjusting her glasses and standing next to Komaru.
"No.. we're not lying at all! Even Nagisa saw it..." Jataro replied while holding his teddy bear.
Nagisa scoffed and rolled his eyes. "I'm only here to keep things under control. You three wouldn't stop screaming."
"Hey you were scared too!" Kotoko argued, crossing her arms.
"Alright guys, calm down! Just explain to us what happened and you can stay in here." Komaru moved out the way to let the children inside and all the kids immediately rushed into the room and hopped onto the bed that Naegi and Fukawa shared.
"So.. how are you seeing these ghosts and things?" Toko asked, sitting down in front of the group of kids.
"Well, it all started when Masaru woke everyone up!"
FLASHBACK START
"Guys! Guys! Wake up!" Masaru hopped off the second frame of his bunk bed and ran over to Nagisa, shaking him awake.
"Masaru what is it? We're all trying to sleep." Nagisa groaned as he turned to the red haired boy.
"There's something outside the window! It's definitely some type of ghost!"
"Wait ghosts exist? Are you for reals?" Kotoko awakened, looking down above Nagisa
"Yeah! Come and look!" Masaru led the trio to the window and opened the blinds so that everyone could see. It was pitch black outside and the streets were dead silent.
"Uhh...I don't see anythin-" Kotoko started but then immediately got cut off by a mysterious figure hitting the window, sending everyone in shock. "See?! I told you!!" Masaru practically screamed.
"Calm yourself. It was probably just an animal or something like that-"
"Oh yeah? And what animal do you know that's big and scary and has sharp teeth like that?! No doubt that it was a ghost!!" Kotoko argued while sternly pointing a finger at the cyan haired boy.
"Many. Plus, it was only a silhouette and that "ghost" could have been anything."
"Huh?..what are you guys talking about?." Jataro climbed down from his bed and looked over at the window.
"There's a ghost outside and Nagisa doesn't believe us!" Kotoko whined again.
Suddenly, the roaring noise came back sounding much louder this time, making everyone flinch.
"I told you! There's a monster out to get all of us!!"
"Hmm...maybe Toko and Komaru know what to do..maybe..." Jataro mumbled as he grabbed his favorite teddy bear.
"Your actually right for once Jataro! Cmon, let's go!" Kotoko cheered as she grabbed her favorite blanket and rushed out the room, the two other boys following behind her.
"Wait what are you guys?- Oh nevermind." Nagisa sighed as he eventually joined the group of children.
FLASHBACK END
"And that's why everyone's here now!" Kotoko finished.
"Oh guys...that was just a tree! The winds are a little rough tonight so that might be the cause!" Komaru smiled
"See? I told you." Nagisa told Masaru while rolling his eyes
"W-Well ghost or not, I'm not going back into that scary room all by myself!! Especially when it's still haunted!" Masaru pouted.
"I thought you always claimed to be the bravest or something.." Toko mumbled from under her breath.
"Well that's okay! You can sleep in our room for tonight if you're that scared. I'll check up on it in the morning."
The small group cheered as they got themselves comfortable in between their two guardians, finally drifting off to sleep after a long night.
(Sorry if this was dogshit. Writers block has been a pain in the ass lately)
