[SMG4 (Group B) - Classroom 2-A, Second Floor Main Building]

"Hmm..." SMG4 exclaimed as he read the note, his eyes now normal.

SMG4: I think it would be safe to say that, seeing as I met an insane person who seemed to like seeing a random dead guy. We might need suport, and to get out of here. If we team up, we have a better chance at survival, which will be even greater if we are both good at fighting. What do you say, want to be friends?

Then SMG4's eyes turned into happy Vs again as he waited for Seraph's reply. He knew that he needed to gather up as much sane people as he could to survive.

[Shion Sonozaki, Group A, Infirmary, Second floor main building]

They have never heard of the Sonozakis? They were kidnapped too? Maybe the Sonozakis kidnapped them all and are slowly killing them all off. It wasn't in their usual style, but they might just be trying to break them all internally. That would make sense to a degree. If she knew her demon granny as well as she thought she did, anything to make their victims suffering worse would be alright with her.

However, this could all be a trap set by the Sonozakis. They would hire children younger than Shion just to trick her, of course they would! Anything to get off the only person whoever cared about Satoshi-kun! To get rid of the only person who would try to find Satoshi-kun! To get rid of the only person who would ever oppose the Sonozakis, all for Satoshi-kun!

Satoshi.Satoshi.Satoshi,Satoshi.Satoshi.Satoshi.Satoshi.Satoshi.Satoshi.Satoshi.Satoshi.Satoshi.

But then again, she could just be overreacting. Maybe it would be best to follow these people for now, but to always be on guard, and if they try anything, kill them then.

And when she was just about to introduce herself, she was cut off by that singing doll.

Dolls. They were never anything she cared for. They also reminded her of a nightmare she had one time, when her sister didn't get that doll from her lover. When that happened, Shion became incredibly jealous that her sister had her love but she didn't, so Shion killed her sister, two of her friends, her grandmother, the head of the village, and attempted to murder her sister's lover.

But, that was just a nightmare. Shion couldn't really do that, right? Right?! She wasn't the jealous type, she wouldn't react over something as stupid as that, right? Of course not, she was a perfectly sane individual. . .

Anyone could tell that Shion's face turned far more twisted, almost like she was killing someone with her eyes. Her face probably scare a few of the ghosts away, but it only last for a moment. Her face changed to a more relaxed face, but she was without a doubt on guard.

" I'll stick with you people for now, but don't expect me to trust any of you. If I trust any of you, it is the one who is unconscious, and that is only because she can't be of any harm at the moment. I'll also maybe trust the kid with the dumb hat, with such a pathetic look on his face, he couldn't harm a fly. "

Wasn't Shion such a nice girl? Well, to show how she wasn't a completely horrible person she got off of her bed and walked over to Yukiteru Amano. Of course, she changed her the look on her face to a much brighter and cheery one, hopefully this new face wouldn't scare him off.

" Hello, my name is Shion Sonozaki, may I ask who you are? It would be much easier to do that than refer to you as 'he kid with the dumb hat'. Sorry for such a scary entrance, but being me isn't exactly the easiest existence. I'll tell you all of the gory details either, but for now, it might be best to keep your mind off of those kinds of things. Can't have scary thoughts in this kind of place, right~? You'll be too paranoid to continue any farther~ "

Hopefully, Shion's playfully scariness would be enough to get him paranoid. She was an amazing actress, and even better at manipulating people.

Now she had to continue the innocent act by extending her hand out for him to shake, and giving an adorably innocent smile. Yes, this was obviously the best course of action for her.

(Rikku group A infirmary)

She was still hiding not daring to peek out. When she heard the creepy singing she curled up more into a ball as best she could. "I don't want to die...Death..Too Late.." Her eyes widened at the realization they were all doomed.

[Yuno Gasai & Yukiteru Amano (Group A) - Infirmary, Second Floor Main Building]

Yes, this was definitely like the time he first "formally" met Yuno back at the very beginning of the Survival Game. At least this girl, Shion, wasn't in love with him, because that would be the key of ticking Yuno off, but at the same time, Yuno was asleep and still recovering from her injuries. For now it seemed like Shion was trying to make allies with him, so it was a good thing on his part that he did appear harmless, but the same couldn't be said about Yuno if she just happens to wake up soon. "O-oh...my name is Y-Yukiteru Amano..." he snapped out of his thoughts and gave her his introduction. If Shion was this innocent earlier and did not show that crazy side of her moments before, than maybe he wouldn't be this close to wetting his pants right now. He held out his hand to accommodate and shake Shion's hand, but it was rather sudden as he felt someone pull him back.

"....Yukki...." Yuno mumbled peacefully, and thankfully she was still asleep. Though, he did find his arm tightly embraced by Yuno's sleepy hug, making him wonder if Yuno was aware to the fact that he was basically talking to another girl in a pleasant manner. "And that's Yuno Gasai...er, my girlfriend..." Yukiteru decided that since Shion didn't seem to show any distrust to her, it was only natural that he would introduce her too. While he seemed occupied with the brief conversation with Shion, Yukiteru had also listened into the matter of the doll's message, and he could only assume that something bad was going to happen. It was obvious when the words were "Too late," "death," and "everywhere." Yukiteru was basically repeating in his head that they wouldn't have to face whatever this twisted school building had in mind while Yuno was still recovering from her injuries.

[Dito (Group B) - Classroom 3-A, Second Floor Main Building]

"A key? well...that could be helpful. Or hurtful, whichever comes first really," Dito said with a shrug. He had enough of all of that treasure seeking bullshit with keys and looking around with his previous Intoner Five, and god did he not want to go on some search around the school just to open a door that wouldn't lead to anything in any interest. then he had to remind himself that there were corpses all over the place, so maybe that would lighten up his interests to looking around this school building. Remembering that one of their guys in their group straight-up left because of someone else nearby, Dito stepped out of the classroom, walking over to the next classroom, which was 2-A.

"Hey, you done in here or what? We're already done searching the other classroom, and we got a key. Searching a bit more of this floor is our best bet before doing anything else," Dito said, knowing that SMG4 was in the classroom with some other person that would soon join their group. Or more importantly, joining the soon-to-be work of bloody art.

[Kurama and Courier Six, Group A, Infirmary, second floor main building.]

"Openly admitting your distrust in the rest of us. An interesting tactic indeed though it only concludes that the rest of us should keep a closer eye on you unless of course you want attention brought on yourself" Kurama said looking over at Shion with that emotionless gaze of his. He had seen the twisted look she had before but due to his talent of shutting away his emotions he seemed visibly unaffected by it. He said what he said as a way of testing Shion wondering how she would react if he called her out on this given how she's acted so far he was trying to figure out how if at all unstable she was. He heard Rikku and was concerned for her but had to focus on the current situation in case Shion tried to make a move.

Six was perplexed by Shion's sudden attitude change when she had walked over to Yukiteru. "Shame to hear you don't trust the rest of us. You look pretty innocent when you weren't threatening to kill us with the whole Sonoz-z-....well whatever anyways just for reference i'm known as Six nothing more nothing less" Six said still struggling to pronounce 'Sonozaki' which easily meant that the name doesn't exist where she comes from. She also gave out a name to call her by even though it wasn't her real name. Six was weary of Shion but since she kept her helmet on it would be very hard to read her face at all.

[Grant Harrison, Group B, Classroom 3-A to Classroom 2-A, Second floor main building.]

With hesitation Grant walked out of classroom 3-A behind Dito heading for classroom 2-A. Once they got to 2-A he peaked in only shortly to see SMG4 and someone else. "Looks like you were right. We're not the only ones 'still alive and kickin' around here. Still it makes me wonder about what happened here and why whatever's causing this to kill all these people." Grant said not being used to all of this as one would expect. Although he appeared friendly donning a slight friendly smile the glass shard he gripped said otherwise.

(YES! Finally saw an oppertunity to use song lyric's as parts of dialogue :D.)

[Blue and Sonic (Group A) - Infirmary, Second Floor Main Building]

Both Blue and Sonic stayed silent until Blue stepped forwards. "Ok, OK!!! Enough already! Everybody is going so fast my elven brain can't think right! Slow down!" Blue said. "Heh, sorry, but I can't do that." Sonic replied as he leaned against a wall, seemingly not caring about anything going on at the moment. Blue made hand movements as he talked, with the Game Boy still in his right hand, and because it was unpaused happy, unfitting music came from it. "Ok, let's get things settled here. I don't even know how many people are here anymore, but I know one things, some of them are dangerous. Some of them are good dangerous mind you, willing to help others in a blink of an eye, but some of them are willing to kill someone without thinking about it first. Let's put survival as our main goal, and not see how many kills we can get in a minute. I think they made a video game about that. What we need to do first if find suplies. Food, water, candy, other things. The second thing we need to do is find or forge weapons. If there is enough metal around here and a large source of weat I can make us some swords for defence. And lastly, we need some people willing to explore the school to find a way out of here, because that's our main goal. Ok, everyone get this? Everyone not going to ignore me like in my last post? Good." Blue said. He then looked on the back of the Game Bow and noticed something on it. "Oh great, there's a bloody hand print on the back of my Game Boy. Just great!" He complained.

[Seraph Brunestud (Group B) - Classroom 2-A, Second Floor Main Building]

Seraph smiled at SMG4 and nodded at him. He really thought that it ould be better if they stood together. "OK, let us be then!", he said. Then, he saw Dito and Grant coming, as he heard him talking to SMG4. "I guess that I should rethink somethings in my mind. In any case, I am sorry for stopping you.", he said. Seraph still held the note, worried that it would might be an important clue to solve this mystery. Although, he knew that every step he should take is important. "It might take us some time, but do you allwant to inspect this room as well. There is nothing close to us by now, so I think that there is no danger in searching here as well.", he said. He could wait the answer of them, and insepct when they command, but Seraph already started to see in the bookshelves if there was something that would might lead them to somewhere.

=Group A=
The guardsman finished replacing Yuno's bandaging before he spoke " the names Jericus Ignace," he introduce him self to Shion. Jericus placed the reaming roll of bandages into the first aid kit before sitting down on the bed Rikku was hiding "don't be so negative have some faith," he said to her.

[SMG4 (Group B) - Classroom 2-A, Second Floor Main Building]

With that SMG4 jumpped into the air while keeping his V eyes, but somehow he froze mid jump.

You got a partner!

Along with that text, there was a voice that happily shouted 'hooray!' and another voice singing a little tune with 'da's. After that was over SMG4 resumed movment and turned to face the Dito and Grant, but his happy look was now gone.

SMG4: Oh, it's you guys. Good, we need your help.. Let's loon around in this room, but Dito... stay the f*** away from me. You're creepy.

And with that SMG4 ran deeper intom the room and looked around to see what he could find.

[Shion Sonozaki, Group A, Infirmary, Second floor main building]

" Oh~? So she is your girlfriend~? Isn't young love just the cutest thing~? I bet you two have already had se- whoops~! I went a bit too far~! I had no right asking for such things!

Buuuuuuuutttt. . . . have you~? "

Shion was really just teasing the boy at this point, but it really did give Shion some joy. Hopefully, he would squirm around with a ridiculous blush on his face. Teasing him would probably be the only source of fun Shion would have inside of this school, so she was going to do it a lot.

Yukiteru didn't seem so bad to Shion, he was innocent enough. Shion would hang around with him and his girlfriend for their time here, unless of course they tried to do anything hostile. Then Shion would torture and kill them in the most grueling method she could think of. Hopefully, they wouldn't take any hostile actions, and everything would be fine until they get out of this place. . . wherever this place was.

However, something kept nagging Shion in the back of her head. Something about Yuno just bothered Shion, and for a bit she couldn't think of why. That was until she realized that Yuno reminded Shion of herself.

How could Shion tell that this Yuno girl was just like her? It was simple. Shion could tell just by looking at Yuno that there was more to her than what she saw on the surface. The same thing happened when Shion first met her friend Rena. There are demons lurking inside of Yuno, no matter how much she uses a cute exterior to hide it. Shion noticed that she would grab Satoshi's arm the same way Yuno grabbed Yukiteru's arm, and how sincere she said Yuki's name mimicked Shion saying Satoshi's. In that way, you could say that Shion and Yuno were one in the same.

But that was completely wrong. They weren't one in the same, as one key difference stopped that.

Yuno had her love, and Shion didn't.

A difference like that has sent Shion into a murderous frenzy in another world, so what would she turn into when these people are strangers? How could someone so similar was allowed to have her love, but Shion wasn't? It wasn't fair! It wasn't fair that Shion had to live without the person she loved, but Yuno could!

The only thoughts circulating around Shion's heads were all about making Yuno suffer in the most gruesome ways possible. Many dark thoughts that would scare anyone if they heard wouldn't stop coming to her mind. Her face became twisted once more, and her body began to shake in rage. Unlike last time were it was self defense, she could easily snap at any point, killing whoever caught her eye, after Yuno of course.

Thankfully, a moment after Kurama and Six began to speak.

She snapped back into sanity, her playful smile appeared on her face once more. Hopefully, nobody noticed that she let her demon take over for a second, and nobody would suspect anything, She was already in a dangerous position with these people, so making it worse would only result in everyone attacking her. Well, she could probably fight them all off, but still, she didn't want to deal with all of that.

She decided to address Six first, because that would be easily to deal with.

" SO-NO-ZAH-KEY, it isn't that hard. I don't want to come off more rude than I already have, and I'm sure that nothing like Sonozaki is in your native language. However, if they heard any form of disrespect like that, and It will be over for you. And nice to meet you Six, I hope we can become friends when this event is over~! "

It wasn't like Shion wanted to murder everyone here, just Yuno and now this Kurama person. Six seemed like a decent enough person, so hopefully the two of them could earn each other's trust and they could be friends when they get out.

Now it was time to address Kurama, and depending on how Kurama handles it. . . it could turn ugly and very quickly.

" I don't expect anyone to trust me. Finding a stranger and adding them to the group is just like a horror movie cliche. I do plan on proving myself to the group, just I like how I hope you all plan on proving yourselves to me. It isn't that hard. "

Shion paused for a second, and her face became slightly more serious. This one wasn't dark, or had any murderous intent, but that Shion was going to be incredibly serious when addressing this.

" Oh? Am I really the one who everyone should be doubting? Which one of us is still clutching the demonic doll who said death is near? That is fairly suspicious. If it was me, I would have destroyed that doll already. Better yet, why haven't you destroyed that doll? What if that doll is going to make us all die? Wouldn't that make you an accomplice to whoever is doing this.

Don't suspect someone when you're just as, or even more suspicious. "

[Rikku group A infirmary. ]

Rikku heard the guards man and poked her head out."easy for you to say. I'm sorry but those words were kind of creepy. That spirit or whatever clearly said were all gonna die.." She slimmed back under the bed once more.

[Kurama and Courier Six, Group A, Infirmary, Second floor main building.]

Kurama stood in silence for only a moment listening to what Shion and Blue had to say. "Who said I suspected you of anything? I merely called you out on an earlier statement you made outright saying you weren't going to trust any of us. It would call for more caution around you but you do bring up a valid point? Why haven't I destroyed this doll when it has lead us into trouble in the past. I'll answer that with another question. Why would I destroy the doll that contains the spirit of the one who kidnapped and murdered children in this school so many years before? Now what do you think would happen if I destroyed the vessel for this spirit? Chances are it'd attack us like one did to me in an earlier event. Either that or posses one of us to systematically murder the others. There is my answer you can choose whether or not to trust me on that matter but I owe my life to Yuno after she saved me and i'll be damned if I don't help her and Yukiteru get out of here" Was Kurama's response to Shion. Clearly he was very smart and suspicious of Shion. "Your right Blue we need to find some supplies to up our chances of survival. The only room I recommend not going into is classroom 2-A as I was previously locked in it and almost dragged into a black void by a spirit whose vessel I apparently destroyed." Kurama said to Blue but he didn't take his eyes off of Shion. He still had that emotionless expression it not changing at all during the conversation.

Six was about to respond to Shion but Kurama was beginning to speak before she could. She listened interested by all of this though her knowledge of spirits was lacking severely. "Um if I may I apologize for mispronouncing 'Sonozaki' as I come from a place known as the Mojave Wasteland and I have never heard that or really any names like it during my travels. Oh I hope we can become friends as well though if we end up at my place it'll be a little hard what with all the muties and raiders running around" Six said to Shion after Kurama had finished speaking. "Oh! wait I saw some more stuff on that top shelf" Six said running over to the shelf. "I see a box of matches, some lighting oil, and a couple unlit candles" Six said her memory jogged by hearing Blue and Kurama's response to Blue.

[Yuno Gasai & Yukiteru Amano (Group A) - Infirmary, Second Floor Main Building]

"W-What...no, I think you're going a bit too personal there. Me and Yuno haven't done anything like that!" Yukiteru suddenly was blushing at that thought, and he knew that Yuno would immediately consider that in this type of environment if she were awake, which thankfully she was not. It was only soon that Yuno was finally properly patched up, that was enough to get Yukiteru out of his concern and this would help her recover back to how she was before the injury. Knowing her, she would rest up for a bit before getting up and being as energetic as usual. though, he was still a bit cautious about that message the doll had sang out some time ago, it wasn't something to ignore and he knew that it would be the very key thing on warning them when something "bad" was going to happen to them. for now, he decided to not think on it too much, he needed to get some rest too. Before that...however,

"I guess I would say the same thing Blue...but I really want to see that Yuno gets better soon...and I think it's better that we all stick together. I just don't feel like splitting up would be the best, especially in this type of environment..." Yukiteru responded to Blue, but for some reason, he immediately paused as he was being pulled over by the sleepy Yuno once again. Even if she were asleep and recovering, she somehow managed to pull over her lover closer to her, and it wasn't long until that both were lying together close on the bed.

---

[Dito (Group B) - Classroom 2-A, Second Floor Main Building]

"Geez, harsh much?" Dito rolled his eyes at SMG4's comment towards him, but honestly, he didn't care. The boy only walked over to the teacher's desk near the front of the room, checking the drawers of the desk as there wasn't anything on top of the desk. though, upon opening the bottom drawer, there was a single pair of cracked glasses. the most strange part about this, there was writing on the glasses, but it was in Japanese, a language that Dito didn't know much about. "Hey!...if someone knows how to read this, get over here, I can't make this out myself," Dito called over to the others, who were still searching the other parts of the room.

In one of the desks near the back, the inside would reveal a very disturbing find: the top half of a person's head and it was still "fresh." It was like some had cut clean through this person's head and left the upper half of the cut head in this desk, blood soaked through the wooden desk near the back from the underside cut of the head. As the half of the head wasn't completely decayed yet, it's eyes appeared like it were basically staring out to whoever finds it, almost like a "zombified" head.

[Seraph Brunestud (Group B) - Classroom 2-A, Second Floor Main Building]

Seraph continued to look at the bookshelf, but he found nothing. Even if he threw the books away, it would only be a sign that they would call unwanted attention. The bookshelves here are clear enough. Now, where to look next..., he thought while looking at the room. Then, Dito called out because of the glasses he found. He walked to him and looked at the inscriptions written at them. "At least for now, I am unable to fully understand it. Let us keep these glasses for now, and when we have a chance to entirely decipher those letters, we will know th meaning of this sentence.", he said. Seraph knew Japanese, but he was too anxious to see the meaning of the words by now. He wasn't even able to make up something. All that he could think on how he was going to get out of that school.

[Shion Sonozaki, Group A, Infirmary, Second floor main building]

Shion broke out into laughter when she saw Yukiteru's reaction, as it really was adorable. He reacted exactly as she wanted him to, but I guess it even exceeded what she was expecting. When it came to teasing people, there really was nobody better than Shion.

" Relax Yukiteru~! You're both around that age anyway, so it doesn't hurt to ask~! There is nothing to be ashamed of~! You should be proud that were able to become one with the person you love! Being within their warm. . .embrace. . "

Shion really needed to stop thinking and talking, as that only seemed to make her inner demon rage even more, but how could you blame it? Everything that would set it off is right in front of her face. She was honestly impressed on how long she has managed to keep the demon at bay, but she had to do it, at least for a little bit more. She needed to relax, breath, and get her mind off of how jealous she was. She could suppress it, right? Shion has managed to suppress in the past, but this time, it has felt even harder to do than in the past. Something inside of this building must be making the demon stronger.

She needed to focus on surviving this, and nothing more. Shion could only afford letting her demon out when she was in danger, and nothing else.

" Splitting up~? That usually isn't a great idea, but it might just work this time~! How about me and Six stay here with Yukiteru and Yuno, while the rest of you go around looking for supplies~? I think that would be a good idea! I should easily able to protect the four of us, even with my bare hands if I need to. "

Shion wasn't joking either, as she could easily kill someone with her bare hands if she needed to. It isn't an understatement to call Shion a walking killing machine. Actually, she was so good at killing, that she decided to give the boy who suggest making a sword (Blue) a bit of advice.

" Don't bother making a sword. Swords are terrible in self defense if they aren't carrying one themselves. A hunting knife is usually the best melee weapon to defend yourself with, as the close range and the power behind the stab will usually get the job done quickly. A sword is far too heavy and limits movement, so someone faster can easily move out of the way and kill you. Swords are only useful when your fighting someone with a sword. However, if you could make hunting knives, I would like two~! Thank you in advance~! "

Yep. Instructing people on what the better melee killing weapon was. Shion was such an amazing teacher. Hopefully, they would all listen to her words and become little murder machines in Shion's image.

Well, now it was time to deal with Kurama, and then respond Six right afterwards.

" Is that your reason for not destroying it? That it will "release" the spirit? I'm not exactly sure where you're from, but the spirits were I come from are far more dangerous when they're bound incorrectly. What I mean is, I don't see any kind of talisman or any kind of seal on the doll, which means that the spirit inside of the doll could easily take over it at any time~! Thankfully, I'm from a small village and close to the shrine maiden, so I might be able to lend a hand there~! However, if you refuse to trust me, just break the doll. It will do far less damage that way. "

Oh, and don't worry. I'll make sure they survive. I have no reason to kill any of them, and it is against my policy to kill people who haven't done anything to me. Plus, there is something I really want to speak to this Yuno girl about. "

That Shion, schooling people in Shinto Buddhism since 1983.

However, she really did want to speak to Yuno, especially about the demon lurking inside of her.

" And for you Six, it is fine. I'm sorry if I sounded offended or anything, as I honestly don't mind. However, if a Sonozaki heard that, you would be in serious danger. I was just looking out for you~! "

A bright smile came from Shion's face, showing that she honestly didn't mind. As long as Six called her "Shion", she honestly didn't mind how he pronounced something as foreign as Sonozaki.

" Also, what is this Mojave Wasteland like? I've never heard of it. What country are you from?"

[Kurama and Courier Six, Group A, Infirmary, second floor main building]

"....Um Shion you just said that in front of someone who uses a katana as a primary melee weapon" Six pointed out but just started laughing a bit. She took her helmet off for the second time running her hand through her black hair a small smile on her face. She still looked pretty innocent for all the hell shes been through. "Don't worry they'll be in good hands after all I massacred this one correctional facility at least I think I did.Come to think of it all I remember is walking inside then waking up with everyone inside dead. They all had weapons near them and I was riddled with bullet holes so.....yeah" Six said donning an innocent smile after explaining something pretty horrid. She decided to throw this bit of information in as a test to see how people would react to it. She needed to know who else she could trust besides Shion. "Anyways to answer your question Shion the Mojave wasteland is just that a wasteland. Some people say it was known as 'Nevada' in some place known as 'America' before some great war happened where these radioactive bombs were dropped everywhere." Six said to Shion explaining what the Mojave wasteland was with some not much detail. She pretty much explained to everyone that she lived in a post apocalyptic timeline. If any were to notice though it would be hard at first they could see a scar on Six's head obviously implying that she has had a head injury in the past.

Now that she had brought it up there was no form of binding seals on the doll but then again the spirits here could be different to both of their respective universes though Kurama did recognize a bit or religion in what Shion was saying......at least he thought it was religion. After waiting for Six to finish speaking Kurama then spoke to Shion. "Hmm a valid point indeed again clearly your smarter than most and I must applaud you on that matter. Still my experiences with this doll and the reaction of the spirit of the one girl is why I haven't smashed this doll. just yet. In a way I think that worse things will happen if I smash it as opposed to not smashing it. How do I explain it this doll is connected to this school and breaking it may cause the various spirits within the school to become angered and to an extent vengeful. This is merely a theory but for now I will not smash this doll. I'm fine with searching the nearby areas for any supplies" Kurama said in response to Shion. He began to step forward only to wince having forgotten about his injured ankle. Still he was able enough to search if needed.

[Grant Harrison, Group B, Classroom 3-A, Second floor main building]

"Alright lets see what's in here" Grant said checking around the back of the room searching around for anything useful. He was still in thought over SMG4's comment about Dito being creepy. Sure something about Dito made Grant uneasy but still something was up and he needed to figure out what. Grant just ever unfortunately had to open the desk with the half head in it as upon opening it and seeing what was inside caused Grant to fall back his eyes widened. "H-Holy Shit! did I just really see that?" Grant said getting back up to look inside again. Sure enough he saw it again and it almost made him gag. "M-Man it's like this place just wants to scare the living hell out of us before it tries to kill us" Grant said out loud still a bit in shock about it. He gripped that glass shard a bit tighter almost to the point to where he would cut himself with it but thankfully not quite there just yet.

[SMG4 (Group B) - Classroom 2-A, Second Floor Main Building]

SMG4: Oh, it's part of a head. I don't care, moving on.

SMG4's calm face hinted he was used to gore like this, and his words made it fact. He could care less that someone died, mainly because he was used to people dying left and right like poisoned flies. He threw objects away as he continued to look for something like a weapon or something to eat, because he was getting a little hungry.

[Blue and Sonic (Group A) - Infirmary, Second Floor Main Building]

"Well... I thought swords were a good idea." Blue said in a slightly upset tone. He then refocused on getting suplies. "Ok, I am going to serch for things we can use. Anyone want to help me?" Blue asked. "I do!" Sonic said as he raised his hand. Then both the elf and the hedgehog waited for anyone else to speak up before moving out.

[Yuno Gasai & Yukiteru Amano (Group A) - Infimary, Second Floor Main Building]

"Er...yeah," Yukiteru stuttered with a shy tone, but he knew that Yuno would ask for some kind of commitment in the future, well...if they get out of here alive of course. Seeing that Yuno was fully patched up, it wasn't long until she began to wake up. "Yukki...where are we?" Yuno mumbled as her eyes fluttered open, and she had a very innocent look on her face that made her appear like she were younger than what age she really was. As if she were pushing herself again, she tried to sit up on the bed, but yelped a bit that she wasn't fully healed at all. "Hey, don't push yourself too much, give yourself time to rest Yuno. We all found this infirmary as soon as you got injured...so..yeah, we're all fine," Yukiteru explained to Yuno, having the girl lay back down on the bed. "Oh...okay Yukki. I guess..." Yuno said, not liking the idea that she had to rest but she decided that she will rest for Yukiteru's sake. Almost unexpectedly, she grabbed Yukiteru, and pulled him over closer for a short kiss. It wasn't long until she let the kiss end, smiling,"That's for keeping an eye on me Yukki..." After that, she tried to get some more rest as she felt rather weak all around her body.

"...I'll stay with Yuno here, she's not in any condition to be moving around. I think we can make this our meeting point, it's the only place that hasn't scared us yet...," he overheard them talking about a plan about them splitting up to find more supplies, like medical supplies, food, and water. He wasn't so keen on splitting up, but he had to admit that they wouldn't find any clues if they stayed in one place. The very thought about the doll's message was the only thing that was bringing chills down his spine. What did it mean by 'too late death everywhere?' It was a clear message that something bad was going to happen, but he hoped it wouldn't happen soon due to Yuno's condition. However, Yuno was wide awake now, but couldn't really even sit up on the bed. She got a glimpse of Shion, who seemed to be talking to her Yukki, but kept that innocently cute face up. In the inside, she was rather paranoid to the fact that Shion may had been talking and getting close to her Yukki while she was out earlier.

"Meh, I'll just hold onto it and hope to god that someone knows how to read it," Dito sighed and put the glasses into his pocket, but then he heard that Grant found something. Casually walking over to the desk that was opened, Dito looked rather surprised to see the half head that was just there. While he looked scared out of his mind, Dito really just loved how things were turning out to be. "...damn, I think this is enough to tell that this dude behind all of this is a madman..." he said, averting his eyes away from the head that was on display. Seeing that there was nothing else in the room that seemed important, Dito walked out of the room, saying to the others,"Other than that, I think that room's just there to show us a glimpse on what messed up things happen here. We should check out the other room on this floor before heading down again." Despite seeing a decapitated head moments ago, Dito seemed rather too calm, to the point where it seemed he didn't care for the countless people that could had died here...

[Shion Sonozaki, Group A, Infirmary, Second floor main building]

" Oh, I'm sorry Six, I didn't know you were skilled with a katana. Of course if you're more skilled you will easily beat anyone, no matter what weapon they used against you. I also know my way around a Katana, though I still prefer something with closer range. A katana is just so heavy, and I don't think someone as petite as me should be messing with something so big and heavy, don't you think? "

She wasn't petite, not in the slightest. If anything, she was the complete opposite, but she as long as she made herself sound more adorable, it was worth telling a little white lie. There was also the fact that Katanas were amazingly light, but again, Shion is just trying to sound more adorable. Shion wanted to be careful and not sound like she was offending Six in any way, but Shion was sure she could beat Six, not that she really wanted to do anything to Six at the moment. However, anyone could snap at any moment, so constantly being on guard was much better than lessening it up.

" Oh~? So you're an American~? I don't believe I've ever met one, as nobody really comes to my home village, let alone foreigners. We also don't have a very good reputation, so our tourism rate is completely horrible. Nobody ever really moves in either, not that I blame them. It is such a small and boring village, living in the big city is so much more fun~! There is always something to do~! "

Shion began to ramble a lot at the end there, but she was getting pretty excited. She always wanted to live in a big city like Tokyo, but she couldn't really leave her home village in Hinamizawa. She might not have believed in the curse, but her family surely wouldn't allow her to leave, especially since she had all of the family's secrets, and they couldn't allow those out.

She then faced Kurama, a knowing smirk appeared on her face.

" Oh~? Then what happens if that doll become sentient and kills us all? At least that has a truly physical form, unlike these other spirits we can seal properly? Maybe this is the best way~? Or, is the risk too high? "

Shion was going to go full sadist on this one, hopefully it would push Kurama into a corner and make them seem foolish.

" Tell me, have you heard the theory of loss aversion? It is mostly used in economics, so let me just explain it real quick. It is that a person's fear of losing money in a risky investment that they end up losing far more for not investing. In this scenario, you're scared to break the doll in case things turn bad if we do, but things might get even worse the longer we keep that doll instead of breaking it. We lose more by not taking the chance than by taking the chance. "

Simple, beat the person and what they believe down, and then continue the assault.

" And while we are at it, how come you're the only one defending this doll? Did you even ask the others how they felt about you keeping that? What if you keeping that doll around brings us even more misfortune? What if we all die because you kept this doll around? How do you know that breaking this doll will release these spirits! Where Is your proof of these claims! Do you even have a basis beyond just a gut feeling! That isn't a reason and you know it! What if you're working with the person who trapped us here and you holding on to that doll is a sign to make sure they don't end up killing you? I did overhear something about how Yuno defended you, but what if that as well a part of the plan? Get her out of the way, and killing the rest becomes super easy.

Face it! As long as bad things happen while that doll is around, it will always end up being your fault! And as long as you refuse to get rid of it, you'll always be the most suspicious person! "

Well, that was it for her assault. Hopefully, it would break Kurama, but even if it didn't, it would at least make the others suspicious of her. Shion might not have been around for long, but even with just she knows on hand, it is VERY easy to paint Kurama as a suspect. If anything, all of her actions have been suspicious since Shion woke up. Immediately, she tried making Shion seem suspicious, which worked to an extent. She refuses to keep breaking this doll, and by far the most suspicious point, she acts like she knows what will happen if she ends up breaking the doll.

Well, that was fun. Shion turned to face Yuno, and gave an innocent smile, mimicking Yuno's own innocent exterior.

" Hello Yuno Gasai, my name is Shion Sonozaki. It is a pleasure to meet you, and I hope we will become good friends once this is all over. "

Finally, she woke up. Shion was going to talk to this girl about her true personality, but she couldn't do it in front of everyone. Not only would that be far to dangerous, it would also ruin their privacy, which is something Shion really wanted. There was a reason she offered to stay back with Yuno and Yukiteru. Yuno might not like Shion, but Shion was going to get all she could out of Yuno, and there was nobody who was going to stop her. There were so many questions to ask, so hopefully, everyone would leave soon.

" Yukki told me a lot about you, and If you're anything like him, I'm sure you're a wonderful person! "

Shion was pulling out everything to try to trigger Yuno. Calling Yukiteru by the same Yuno calls him, and even implying that he was a wonderful person. Well one, it was incredibly out of character for Shion, but it wasn't like Yuno or anyone here could effectively tell.

If Shion really saw herself in Yuno, things were about to get very rocky here and very quickly.

[Kurama and Courier Six, Group A, Infirmary, Second floor main building]

It was becoming more clear to Kurama what Shion's strategy was in this verbal fight the two had going. She was turning suspicions on him because of his choice to keep the doll. Of course no one saw what he saw earlier in classroom 2-A which made things harder on the fox demon. "On the off chance that this doll is evil then what of it's current warning to us. True it could be lying to us but given how the ghost girl we saw earlier hates it and was willing to kill me for revealing it says otherwise. Like I said you can trust me or not but I know what I saw and heard. Your tactic is interesting however turning all suspicion on me after I called you out on your unwillingness to trust the rest of us. You actions then were pretty suspcious at the time though expected to some extent. Turning it all on me in a way has made you even more suspicious to me at least. Beside if I was really working with th one in charge here then why would I have been nearly killed on two occasions. One not witnessed the other in full view of most of the group here. Of course you could claim again that it was all planned and there is no clear evidence to prove it wasn't but ask yourself this. 'In this place where people being dropped into this hellhole of a school. What is the probability of me or you even being one who is allied with the spirits here?' One could say that you could be trying to destroy the doll because you know that it could help us along the way. Another could say you just want me out of the way because of my distrust in you based on earlier events. Really it's what everyone is willing to believe." Kurama said with a shurg never once breaking his emotionless glare which made it almost impossible to read his emotions.

".......Well you both bring up valid point and the loss of aversion doesn't apply in every situation as I had learned in the past. Well i'm not sure I don't know much about spirits but not all of them are bad. I met one moments ago that was in a sense friendly to me. So I guess we should just see what happens because" Six said remaining neutral in the verbal battle before her. It just didn't seem like a situation she should take sides to her at least. "Beside we're all tense and probably overreacting to the current situation. We're all stuck with each other for now so we should just learn to get along and stop being overly paranoid." Six said to the group. Yes the post apocalyptic survivor was tellig everyone not to be paranoid.

[Grant Harrison, Group B, Classroom 3-A, Second floor main building.]

"Man this isn't right it's like 'somethin from a scene from silent hill' " Grant said to himself before watching Dito exit. Something about how calm Dito seemed threw him off. Of course he knew panic was bad in these situations but still Dito seemed a little 'too calm' for this situation. Still he followed Dito out but kept that glass shard just a little bit closer to himself readying himself for anything really.

(Yay a reference to one of my favorite songs. Also Kurama's a guy. Not tryin to be mean and he does look like a girl but it's weird reading him as a she :D. This is the full song for any interested: Boondox: Black Eyed Kids.)
