Naomi x Seiko: Stay with me (Corpse Party)

Part 5 "Who will know?"

Naomi's P.O.V

I stand there in shock, clutching onto Seiko as thoughts circle around in my head. I looked at the name tag again to see if my eyes were deceiving me, but it didn't change. I say the name over and over again in my head. I let out a whisper. "Sa...Satoshi." I loosen my grip on Seiko's body and fall to my knees. I hear Seiko rush to me in seconds. "Naomi!" She shouted. She sounded some what desperate for a reaction and so I answered her pleas. "Seiko, I'm sorry...so sorry." She crouched down until we were at the same eye level. "Naomi, You don't need to apologise, Its not your fault." Seiko said in her most soft voice. She stood up and let down a hand for me, I took it without hesitation. As we walked hand in hand, I stopped to notice that we had left the bag there, Satoshi's bag. I let go of Seiko's hand and walked back to pick up the gym bag and entered the classroom, I dropped it off on his desk and left the classroom. Seiko waited patiently for me. I walked up to her and she turned around to grin at me, she then lightly placed her hand into mine once again. We walked out of the school and headed home.

I checked my watch, it was almost half past five and yet it was dark like winter. The sky was clouded and it was still pouring down. I looked over at Seiko and she looked back with tired eyes but still with a grin planted on her face, she squeezed my hand only for a second, I felt very comfortable being around her, she made me feel complete. I start to think back on the things that happened this evening. I look back in my memories and I see the shadowed figure looking at us before fleeing. Did Satoshi really see us? Without realising, I start squeezing Seiko's arm and I hear her let out a small grunt. "Sorry." I apologised. She glanced at me and chuckled. "Don't be." I proceeded to ask a question "Do you think he saw...us?" I saw Seiko gulp as I said the question. She looked anxious. "I don't know." Those were the words I was frightened to hear. If he did see what happened, would he tell? If it was to dark to see his face then wouldn't it have been also too dark for him to see our faces, maybe he didn't see us at all but there is always that possibility. I had never felt this unsettled before.

As we continued walking, we finally reached my house. Before we parted ways, Seiko gave me a quick peck on the lips before going on her way. I looked at my lounge window to make sure my mother wasn't looking. I don't know if my Mom would be comfortable with this if she ever saw, but yet again, I have never asked her. It was ten to six when I entered through my front door. I walked in and took my shoes off. "Mom! You home?" No answer. I did this a second time before giving up. I walked upstairs, had a quick wash and put on my pyjamas before going downstairs. I then notice a note placed on the fridge. 'Working late again. I did some dinner for you, Its In the microwave. I will be home before eleven, Mom.' I looked at the microwave and opened it to reveal grilled pork. I never really liked pork. I took the pork out of the microwave and pulled out a knife from the draw and proceeded to cut the meat in to quarters. I ate one of the pieces and the other three quarters I put in the bin. I felt shivers down my spine as the meat travelled down my throat. It felt dry and spongy, the texture was almost to much for me to handle.

I went into my bedroom and closed my curtains, I then brushed my short, dark hair and walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I came out a few minutes later and proceeded to my bedroom once again. I looked up at my clock and was surprised by what time it was. It was ten past eight . I lost track of how much time I had already spent at home. I jumped on my bed and layed on my back. I layed there, motionless for minutes, thinking about tomorrow. I hear my phone vibrate continuously for a few seconds before stopping, I roll over on to my right side and put my hand out and reached out for my phone. I bring my phone towards my face. I gasped at the sight, I froze up. It was Satoshi. What did he want? He sent me a message. Satoshi: Meet me outside the park in ten. I didn't understand why he wanted to meet me. Maybe its about what had happened at school with me and Seiko. I replied to the message. Me: Ok, why now, why not tomorrow, What is this about? I waited for a minute or two for a reply, but he didn't message back. What is he up to?
