Naomi x Seiko: Stay with me (Corpse Party)

Part 28 "Hallway of the Damned"

Seiko's P.O.V

"Ok guys, let's get a move on so we can all get out of here." I enthusiastically called out as I spun around towards the door with the rest closely trailing behind. Before stepping out of the door frame, I checked both sides of the hallway before making my next decision on where to go to. "Alright, where to next? Yoshiki asked me whilst rustling his dusty, light blonde hair. "Well, we've already been down here so I-. I was unexpectedly interrupted by a blood curdling scream. It echoed down the eerie hallway, no doubt disturbing many spirits in their eternity of pain and suffering. It tinged in my ears causing slight dizziness. I glanced back at my group with wide eyes and terror written on my pale complexion. "Whats going on!? What is this madness?!" A female behind me burst out. I swiftly turned around to see Mayu hysterical and weeping uncontrollably. She went down to the ground, collapsing on her knobbling knees. Her eyes wide and blood shot, body shaking from head to toe. Arms waving all over the place and evidently in a state of confusion, exhaustion and loss of sanity. Ms Yui bent down next to her and tried to place her hand of the poor girls' shoulder.

Angered, Mayu lashed out on her causing Ms Yui to fall back. Yoshiki jogged around to the back of Mayu and gripped her arms to protect anyone else from facing conflict with her. "She is in a lot of stress, her mind cannot contain anymore of this school, before next, she would lose her mind, succumbing to the school like most of the spirits which perished here." Yuki spoke as she stood afloat next to Mayu's unstable body. What the hell should we do about it,we can't leave her." Yoshiki uttered as he struggled to keep Mayu under this control. "She will become more or less exhausted due to trying to escape your grasp so that will have to be an alternative." Yuki suggested. It wasn't the best idea, who knows how long it was going to take for the normally hyperactive girl to come to calm state. "Well can't we just...y'know, knock her out or something." Yoshiki also suggested an idea.

The rest of us except from Mayu gave him a long glare. "I will not have you knocking out any of my students, that's not an acceptable thing to do to your friend who is in danger of harming other and themselves, what happen if they find out that you knocked them out? She would go absolutely nuts at you, harming and possibly cause serious damage." Ms Yui argued. More screams from the hallway occured, this time much more louder. Mayu's footsteps grew weaker in sound until they came to a halt. Her face had become relaxed and not scrunched up and her arms laid next to her slumped body. "Did she...just pass out!?" Naomi spoke out with confusion. Yoshiki sighed and smirked the slightest before answering Naomi. "Seems like it, hopefully she will stay that way for a while." He responded. "Okay, now that we got that sorted, we can leave this godforsaken classroom. Yoshiki, carry Mayu!" I ordered. He grunted but knowing full well that an argument with me was completely futile. He gently removed the unresponsive girl from his lap and slung her body over his right shoulder. He gripped her legs with one hand. I nodded and smirked before exiting the room, this time moving to the left. Naomi, jogged up next to me and gripped my arm gently. "I hope we can find all of the pieces so we can all go home. Once in this hell hole is enough but twice is just going to far." Naomi whispered. "There's me thinking that once is just enough." I spoke playfully. "You know what I mean numpty but seriously, I want to go home and put all of this behínd us." Naomi looked down at both of our feet with dejection on her face. I consoled her by bringing her body into mine still walking. "I just want to know if my siblings are safe and...my Dad, even if he doesn't care about me anymore." I stuttered as I remembered the night where my Dad neglected me...disowned me...hated me. "Seiko, you're his daughter, beautiful and with a kindred heart of gold. What he said on that night was completely uncalled for and he should know better. Your sexual preferences shouldn't be a bother to him, you're still the energetic, optimistic girl he brought up. He is probably worried sick about you not knowing where the hell you are. He still loves you, I know it." Naomi smiled contently as she stroked my flat, dusty, brown hair curls.
