Naomi x Seiko: Stay with me (Corpse Party)

Part 32 "The end is nigh."

Seiko's P.O.V

Everyone stared wide eyed at Yoshiki, even with himself a little confused as well as the general notion of fear mixed in. I was shocked to see such fright on her face, normally such situations didn't scare this avid, creepy story lover. "Shin-Shinozaki?!" Yoshiki stuttered as his back laid flat out against the ground and his head at an angle to see the shaken girl on his stomach, clenching his disheveled gray coat. Her head pressed against his chest and a concerning look covered her face. As for the rest of us, we weren't the slightest content. Morishige muttered under his breath, he let up a hand towards his face, he then pushed the bridge of his glasses up with his index finger until it was in the right position. You could comprehend what Yoshiki was thinking at that very moment due to his telltale facial expressions. He struggled to lift his upper body up and rest it on his elbows, but all was futile.

"Shinozaki! Get off of me!" Yoshiki barked at her. He tried moving her gently off of himself but she still clung to him. "For heavens sake, Yoshiki. You're completely useless." Morishige spoke as he walked steadily over towards him. He grabbed Ayumi's right shoulder with both hands and pushed her off of Yoshiki's body. "I didn't want to cause any trouble if I touched her." Yoshiki mumbled. "Why should that matter? I mean, she tried to kill us after all." Morishige answered, giving his opinion. I looked at her slump body as it began to rise slowly. "Rude much?" Ayumi started as she frowned at each and everyone of us. "Well her personality didn't change." I chuckled. Naomi elbowed me gently. Ayumi growled at me with disgust. "Also Ayumi, what's this about you tampering with the charm? I mean , if you wanted all of us down here to try and escape, then why did you mess it up deliberately? Didn't you want to get out of here alive?" I questioned her. "Tamper? The charm? How ridiculous is that accusation?" She cackled.

"Don't try and decieve us. We know most of everything that happened. Just spill it!" Yoshiki glared at her with angry eyes. "Well if you won't tell us , we might as well leave here without you then. Seems fair, doesn't it?" I suggested. "But you can't escape, I-" Ayumi stopped as she knew she had placed herself in a dead ended situation. "And why is that, I suppose? Naomi joined in on the discussion, folding her arms into he process. "Well, for your in-" Ayumi was once again interrupted, but this time, she didn't stop herself, the school did. The hall began shaking vigorously, along with the individuals inside it. The floors squeaked under the pressure and bits of debris flew from the ceiling, hitting the ground and shattering into multiple pieces. Ayumi's body was pushed against the wall, Yoshiki also bumping into her. A couple of seconds later, the vibrations stopped and so did the flinging of students. A sigh of relief escaped my trembling lips. "We have to start taking you guys back, before it collapses even more." Yuki hurried.

Everyone gathered their objects of power except for Mayu, who stood next to Yuki. Ayumi looked at us with confusion. "What's going on?" She frowned. "We're getting out of here, I don't know what you're doing though." Yoshiki spoke back to her as he grabbed his power object from his jacket pocket. "If you want to escape, you need an object which can bring you back to reality e.g a special object, picture or relatives." Yuki repeated what she had said before. "My candles! I can use them!" She proclaimed. She gasped as she frantically patted the sides of her body. "I can't find them!" She began to panic, her breathing got heavier and faster with each and every moment. "Wait you said...Relatives?" She asked with a raspy voice. "Yes, but they must have some connection with reality and as well, be in this school." Yuki told her. "S-Sachiko...She's my relative...so I can use her, right?" Ayumi theorized. She turned to Yuki for answers to which she nodded but only with greatest concern shown in her one eye.
