The hunted town
Pigpen
12:45 Noon

Kou's P.O.V
"WATCH OUT?!"

He knows that voice. And he knows it very well. He can't be wrong. The owner of it is the guy who's always by his side whenever he patrols around the AAW Academy.

Karma Akabane.

He looked up to the rooftop of the pigpen and he saw five more people. Those were Gowther, Naru, Ema, Luffy and Amumu. The worst combo group of all.

Lenka got up from the ground and looked at the newcomers. "I don't remember you guys with us on the bus."

If it wasn't because of Karma's reflexes, Lenka should've been dead by now but, what just happened?

"Haha! That's because we rode a different car. It's the school van." Naru and the others jumped down from the roof to the ground.

"Hey, Gowther. You have dust on your butt." Ema pointed at Gowther's butt.

"Must be after I landed? Hmm..." Gowther looked behind him. On his butt.
(Lels, I like butts.)

"Why did you guys come here as well?" He asked them in a serious tone.

Karma walked to him and chuckled. "Yo, Kou. You look fine. I was thinking that some traps might've had you already."

"Are you kidding me? Even a cat knows how to dodge." he said.

"Heh, not bad." Karma laughs.

"Stop fooling around. So what are these traps you are talking about?" He brushed off the topic and crossed his arms.

Amumu went between them while opening her small notepad. She then looked at Kou while her pointer finger nudged on Kou's cheek. "You see, this place isn't really haunted. But there are ghosts." she said.

He moved backward a little since Amumu's face is so near. He slapped her hand after. "Then it IS haunted. And there is also a monster around."

"True. There is a monster. But there are also ghosts in this town." Amumu said. She then turned around and stood beside Karma. After resting her arm on Karma's shoulder, she continued. "The reason why we are here and why your bus and our van sank was all because of the ghosts. They're the reason why there is also a monster."

"What!? That can't be! And I don't believe in supernaturals!" Kou frowned and didn't want to believe about the ghosts. If there really are...
...why aren't they showing up to them as well?

"The ghosts are afraid of the demon. That's why they can't just show themselves up as they please." Luffy went near them.

He looked at Luffy's serious face under the rim of his straw hat. He sighed and just decided to give up.

"Alright. So, what should we do now?" he asked them.

Everyone looked at him and smiled. As if they were waiting for him to say those words.

They circled up and Keima went to the center first. He pushed his eyeglasses up before talking. "We aren't occult specialists so we're just gonna do what we can."

"Don't worry. The ghosts told us what to do. We're gonna exorcise the demon!" Naru said with her fists clenched.

"Before that, we also have to avoid dying. Where are the death pictures?" Karma looked at their confused faces. He tilted his head confusedly.
