Naomi x Seiko: Stay with me (Corpse Party)

Part 21 'Family, Friends and Reunion'

Naomi's P.O.V

Was this the start? Could we all get out of here eventually? The possibility grew from merely impossible to almost certain if we kept this up. I smiled and grappled onto Seiko, surprising her calm state, she hugged back with all her strength. I let go of my girl and turned towards everyone else who also shared the same content smiles, I glanced over at Satoshi and his expression seemed cold and dejected. He looked over at me and managed to force a slight smile before turning his head the other way. Maybe it was a face of regret...for what he did. Seiko tugged on my sleeve and pulled a concerned face, I grinned hoping it would give her reassurance. I reached down and placed my hand in hers for me to intertwine my fingers with Seiko's. She blushed only the slightest before reverting back to a smile also. Her beaming smile would always cheer me up no matter what the problem was, that's why Seiko is so special to me.

Back in reality...

Natsumi's P.O.V (Naomi's Mother)

"Naomi, where-where have you-gone." I manage to say between my whimpers. "Why haven't-you come home y-yet." I spoke again. It's almost eleven and she still hasn't returned, maybe it was something I did to upset her. I have rang the school countless times and they have no idea where my daughter is or the rest of her class, no one from the office remembered seeing them leave with the other classes after the fire alarm was sounded. There was no actual fire or smoke, but the strange thing was that the glass that normally covered the lever was actually tampered with, smashed in other words. Who would pull such a prank as that. "It was only this morning that I heard the girls leave for school, it seems like a long time ago though. Wait! Maybe they went to Seiko's hous-Wait then again, her Dad is still pretty angry with the whole situation." I mumbled. "Naomi, where are you? I miss you so." I cried.

Meanwhile at Seiko's House...

Yuu's P.O.V (Seiko's Brother)

Its been quite a while since I last saw my sister's face, Dad doesn't even look at me and the others in the eye anymore. What's happened? Where's Seiko and why hasn't she been here? I'm so worried for her. Whilst Dad has been at home, he doesn't seem like used to be, he's much quieter but mumbles a lot...he sometimes whispers Seiko's name but yet...Me, Kei and Aya are all left in the dark. "I miss Seiko!" A familiar voice belonging to our sister, Aya calls out from behind me. I turn around to see her eyes red from weeping and her arms outstretched. I sighed and drew closer towards her, I picked her up in my arms and hugged her, this put me on the verge of tears. Her head lay heavy in the groove of my neck, I felt her tears roll down my neck into my shirt but at this moment I didn't really care. "Aya" I started in my most softest voice. "Seiko wouldn't want you to weep, she would want you to be happy and buoyant like always." I whispered. Seiko always said something that would encourage us not to cry when Mom disappeared, but now its different. I have to be the grown up one and take her place whilst she is gone.

"You, me and Kei are one of the main reasons that she smiles, that's why she tries her hardest to make us happy in order to keep her spirits up." I whisper again whilst I remove a tear from my Sisters' eyes. I slowly placed her back onto the ground and her smile shone once again. I was shocked to find myself almost tackled from behind by someone smaller than me, this caused me to fall down onto my knees. "Onii-chan, are you ok?" Kei asks. I nodded in reply to his question. He comes to the front of me and sits down next to Aya, they look at each other and smile. Before I knew it, both of them had grappled onto me, hugging with almost their whole strength. "We love you." They both whisper simultaneously. I sigh with a soft smile and put one arm around Aya and the other round Kei. "I love you both so much" I said as I closed my eyes.

Meanwhile, back at Heavenly Host Elementary school...

Seiko's P.OV.

"So where to now?" Yuki asks. "Well I suggest we search for the paper doll scra-" Yoshiki was interrupted by the now involved Satoshi. "Well what about Mayu? We can't just leave her, I suggest that we look in and out of classrooms whilst we search for her." Satoshi inputs his idea. "Wasn't that what we were doing in the first place." I answer back. He nodded in response. "So...What are we waiting for, let's go!" Satoshi shouted as he waved his arm for us to follow. Where has all this confidence come from, I don't know if its me or not but, wasn't Satoshi trying deliberately to harm us earlier? So why is he taking control and actually wanting to help us, maybe he's scared. Should we really be this lenient towards him? Why should we trust him?

"Seiko, what is it? Is something wrong?" Naomi asks with a concerned look in her eyes. I snapped instantly out of my thoughts and zoned my mind back in. I grinned and shook my head from side to side, she eventually shared the same expression as me before pulling me along still with our hands attached together. "Alright, how about we split up and search this hallway and classrooms for the pieces." Satoshi input. "Since when is it a good idea to split up, Mochida?" Naomi argues. "Fine, we all search the classrooms one by one." Satoshi started again. "That's going to take ages and to be perfectly honest, we don't have ages." Yoshiki burst out. "Yoshiki?" Satoshi spoke quietly. "Maybe it might be safer since that Yuki, no offence, isn't a merciless killing machine and neither are the others." I started. "So it could give us a shot at covering more of this school." I spoke. It looked as if everyone was thinking about what I had said. "She's got a point, because the dimensions have been shattered, we can't really separate that way and that means we can find each other easily, also, because we are in the same dimension, the scraps have to be in this one and not the others making it a hell of a lot easier to collect them." Yoshiki theorized.

"Right then-" I was interrupted by a rather large scream in the distance. "What or who was that?" Satoshi asked with confusion. "Shig-nee, help me!" An unknown person screams. Mayu, it has to be. She is the only one to call Morishige that nickname. "Its Mayu." I state. Without warning, Yoshiki is the first one to react physically to the screams of his classmate. "Yo-We have to follow him!" Satoshi urged. Without a second thought, we are all set running down the hall. What happens if it is like when I thought I heard Naomi but it wasn't. They sound so real though so it has to be. "Huh-Mayu, hey Its me! Guys, she ok, she's over here." Yoshiki shouted towards us. "Yoshiki, is that you?" The voice that appears to be Mayu, speaks. "Oh my god, Mayu." Yoshiki spoke delicately. A figure comes into view from the mist down the hall. Even though it took only mere seconds to find her, to our disbelief, it was true. Mayu was and has been alive ever since we got here. As she came closer, I saw tears welling up in her eyes and her mouth quivering on either side.

"You're all ok, I'm so happy." She cried with happiness. I could feel my eyes begin to fill with tears, I couldn't hold back any longer. "Mayu!" I cried as I ran up to her with open arms, she did the same. I felt someone come up beside me, I looked across and saw Naomi with tears all down her face, soon everyone was in this giant cuddle. Poor, Mayu, She must be getting pretty squished by now due to Yoshiki and Yuki joining in. We all let go of Mayu and continued to share smiles all around. She turned around and her smile eventually left her face. "Mochida, I'm sorry." Mayu apologized. "You had a reason to be afraid. What Ayumi and I did to you guys was unforgivable and we don't have a right to even breathe the same air as you, I want to make this up you all." Satoshi spoke sincerely. All was quiet, no one spoke a single word.

If I want to leave this place with Naomi and everyone else, we all have to find the pieces in order to survive this hell. It's hard to be optimistic in such a treacherous place such as this, but I have to be happy to make sure Naomi is safe from harm. I want to see Yuu, Kei and Aya...I want to see my Dad even though he probably doesn't even care about me right now, no he does, I just made him angry. He still can't hold a grudge against me...Can he?

Dad I love you...Please don't forget...
