[Keiichi Maebara, Group A, Closet in the Infirmary, Second floor main building]

There are three signs that signal the approach of the Head-Crashing Basher.
First, the lights will flicker on and off.
Next, the phone will ring and there will be nobody there.
And finally, the Head-Crashing Basher arrives in the ghost of the bus that ran him over.
Then he exits the bus and crosses the street without looking both ways...because he's already dead!
Then he taps on the window with his bloody, baseball bat-hand...
He opens the door... The closet door creaked open just a tad. He slowly approaches the counter...

"And theeeen...heeee...GETS YA!"

Keiichi Maebara leaped out of the closet in which he'd been hiding and grabbed Mion Sonozaki's shoulders, attempting to spook her in the process. Hopefully she wouldn't retaliate too hard.

Before he jumped out of the closet in a cheap trick, Keiichi had, of course, entered the closet. He had awoken in this room before Mion had, and had ended up deciding to hide in the closet until she woke up. Keiichi was a tricky bastard like that. Anyway, sometime in between his entering the closet and Mion's awakening, he had fallen asleep. It was a miracle that no one had opened the closet to find him there. Eventually, he had reawoken upon hearing muffled voices beyond the door of the closet. People had entered the room, meaning Mion was probably awake. It was then that he decided his ambush was better late than never and had flown through the door.

"Yo, Mion. Make some new friends?" The young man grinned, assuming the well-endowed, green-haired maiden was his close friend, rather than the twin sister of his close friend(who also happened to be a close friend).

"By the Golden throne of Terra! Were the warp did you come from!?" the guardsman shouted at Keiichi as he burst out of the closet resisting the urge to punch him in the face.

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

Before Yuno would urge the others to hurry it up with getting the door open, she began to cough violently as something were infecting here. The candle light revealed two things: something that appeared like a wall of black hair covered the doorway, and it was certain that two matches wouldnt burn it down. Second...a dark haze was shrouding around Yuno, faint red "eyes" peeking out of the shroud. That was no doubt the malevolent spirit that sought them out for trespassing.

"Y-Yuno, let me help you!" He cried out, but she tried to push him away from the haze in attempt to save him. Though, she seemed like it was too much for her, causing her to collapse to the floor as she was at the brink of coughing out blood, that dark haze was slowly killing her. If someone wanted to take her place, it was possible, though at this point, Yuno wasn't going to last long. If the group didnt get out soon enough, the dark haze that was the hostile spirit would choose another victim for it to kill.

---

[Dito and Lelouch vi Britannia (Group B) - Going to second floor west hall]

Without a moment wasted, Dito dragged Lelouch up the stairs, hoping that the girl in red would just leave them alone so secretly Dito could handle the killings himself.

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

Having grabbed the lighting oil as instructed Kurama turned around to see the new situation emerge. Kurama was perplexed on what he should do seeing Yuno in a bad situation but he knew full well they had to get out of this room. "....Six quick catch" Kurama said throwing the bottle of lighting oil to Six who had temporarily put away the box of matches to catch the bottle of lighting oil. What Kurama did next would seem surprising to some as he ran right into the dark haze going at his attempt to save Yuno who had previously saved his life. Though the effect of the haze was almost instant but still he managed to power through at least long enough to attempt to get Yuno out of the haze attempting to get her on her feet and push her out of the haze. "...The.....only way........ to repay some.....one....for saving your.....life.... is to risk......yours....for....their's" Kurama had stated to Yuno before she even had a chance to question it. He was coughing pretty violently have already coughed out some blood but was surprisingly enduring it better than expected for someone who only appeared as a normal human. There were very few people Kurama would risk his own life for but he did so this time seeing as he felt he had a debt to repay to Yuno.

Six now with the bottle of lighting oil she had just caught turned to get a good look at what was blocking the door. "What the hell it's not a plant it's hair!" Six said in complete surprise almost forgetting what she had to do. Snapping back into reality she took the lid (or cork) off the top of the bottle and began to douse the hair in lighting oil as fast as she could with one hand.

[Grant Harrison, Group B, Stairway to second floor, First floor to Second floor main building]

After seeing Dito and Lelouch had gotten up the stairs Grant only slightly lowered his glass shard. "Well got to go made a promise and I intend to keep it" Grant boldly said that incorruptible determination resurfacing for just a moment before he turned around and ran up the stairs after Dito and Lelouch quickly catching up with them. He was panting slightly but didn't seem to show any real signs of fatigue.

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

Seraph knew that somehow, what awaited them down the stairs was more than just Dito and Grant. However, he walked forward towards the silent corridor. There wasn't too much distance, but he wasn't able to reach the stairs. It was more like that wasn't needed. He was able to see them with another young man and behind them... a girl in red carrying scissors. OK, terrible idea! I guess this is the part where we leave...!, he thought. Seraph walked back a little and then turned tails, running. He wasn't even able to speak, he grabbed SMG4's arm and pulled him.

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

Oh, so they had some kind of oil. That should really burn up that weird, hair thing. Hair is just as, or even more flammable than plants after all. However, Shion still needed to find a way to put that fire out.

And then heard someone yelling and grabbed her arm. There was no time to think things through, just attack and kill whoever did it.

With one swift motion, Shion punched the person who grabbed her, which of course had enough force to easily give him a black eye, a bruised cheek, and knock a few top teeth loose. That wasn't the end of her assault however, as he she then proceeded to flip him over, smashing Keiichi hard into the ground. Once he was down there, she immediately hopped on top of him and wrapped her hands around his throat as tight as she could.

She was going to kill his bastard before he could figure out what was happening. Shion wouldn't let herself die, not until she knew what happened to her Satoshi. However, until then, she would certainly kill anyone in her path.

Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.Die.

. . .

Wait, Shion knew that face.

Oh god what has she done?

" Hey, Keiichi! Fancy meeting you here! But uh, I'm Shion, not Mion.

. . . Oh yeah, you didn't hear me say anything in there, right? "

Huh, his face was turning blue. He was also responding with " gurglegurglegurgle" What could that have been?

Oh right, she was still choking him

Shion released Keiichi's neck, got off of him, and dusted off her skirt.

" You really shouldn't be scaring people like that Keiichi. If I was armed you would already be dead. Well, now that you're here, I need help finding a working sink, or some kind of heavy towels. That big hair thing is about to be set ablaze, and we're going to be need to put it out. Well, good luck! "

Shion turned around to look at the group, but then she noticed something was off about Yuno. She was coughing up blood while a dark spirit with red eyes while killing her. Huh, so there really were ghosts here.

But, how could that be? People died when they were killed. How could they come back for a reason that wasn't reincarnation? Was it some kind of restless spirit? Shion didn't know, she was honestly more of an Atheist than anything. Oyashrio-sama didn't exist, and neither did his curse. He was probably just some really cute girl in life, and as many people do to cute girls, they began to worship her.

Anyway, it looked Kurama tackled her out of the way and decided to take on the haze himself.

Both Yuno and Kurama? Wow, it looks like these spirits really wanted to put the blame on Shion. Sadly, she didn't really care. If she wanted a clear reputation, she could easily
just tackle Kurama out of the way to save him, but she was more important than him.

Was it selfish? Yes. Did Shion care? Nope. She had to live at all costs and nothing would stop her from doing so. However, she needed that spirit dead, and dead fast. Hopefully, her and Keiichi could come up with a plan.

" Hey, Keiichi, did Rika ever teach you have to dispel spirits? "

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

"Woah!" SMG4 exclaimed as his arm was grabbed by Seraph, and because the human ran off with him he was pulled along. Seraph would feel that SMG4's arms seemed to be made of flat polygons, which would explain why his hands were always balled up as fists. Because it was so sudden SMG4 was unable to get a food hold of the ground and he was dragged along like a rag doll, but yet he was a light as a feather.

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

It all could had ended now, but at least Yuno would be glad that she had saved Yukki from this demise. Though, her life was given another chance as another had pushed her out of the way of the haze, and it was the very person that had been saved by her earlier. Is this how others repay for a deed given to them? Instead to have themselves die for someone they had barely met? It confused her, since all she did was save him from dying from another spirit, and here he was, slowly dying to another spirit. Was it that she had only prolonged his life span in this world? She couldn't tell for certain, but even if she were away from the haze, the blood loss she had while in the dark haze was starting to take it's toll on her, her will to stay conscious the only thing that kept her standing on her two feet, but she was obviously in great pain. Relieved to see her out but also worried that Kurama was going to die, Yukiteru gave Yuno support to stand and exclaiming,"We got to hurry! We need to get out of this room!"

Kurama was start to feel dizzy, either from the blood loss or that there was some sort of churning motion occurring inside of his body...a slow and deadly pain began to erupt from his chest...

---

[Dito & Lelouch vi Britannia (Group B) - West Hall, Second Floor Main Building]

Good. It's good that he had managed to get several others that were trapped here as well to get him out of there, and hopefully the girl in red would just give up for now and leave them alone. Looking back to the staircase after reaching the second floor, he saw that the girl in red was nowhere to be seen, so it was safe to assume that she was gone for now. Good...really good.

"She...she's gone...that would give us enough...time to catch our breaths..." Lelouch panted, and was going to introduce himself. Well...that was the case until he suddenly blacked out, something like metal had banged him from behind his head. He couldn't tell on who did that as he was knocked out...but he did remember one of the boys here holding a metal pipe...

"Oops..." Dito said as he had suddenly couldn't fight the urge to anymore, and he had just knocked the teenager out with his pipe in front of everyone else in their group. Instead of feeling utterly stupid for the mistake like normal people would...Dito had a smile on his face that was not pleasant at all.

"...looks like I can't leave much witnesses here..." he said right before rushing forward with his metal pipe ready to knock out another person from consciousness, and he went for Grant as he was the only other person in the group with a potential makeshift weapon. Dito wasn't going to let some guy injure him first. Time for his own 'corpse party' was about to begin...

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

Seraph stopped as he felt that no one was followng them. He left out a sigh as he looked back... only to see the scene. Leleouch was hitten by no one other than Dito with a metal pipe. ...!! What is he doing?! Did he forgot the purpose of why we are here?!, Seraph thought, horrified. He saw death like if was normal, but a betrayal of trust was something that he was unable to abide. It wasn't fear that took Seraph now. It was anger. Although his powers were completely blocked, his eyes glowed and his vampiric teeth grew up. "SMG4, please... you have to run. I know that you are used with this thing, but one of us has to run, and it has to be you! Hurry!", he said.

After saying that, Seraph looked directly at Dito. "Are you out of your mind?! As I might remind you, we're supposed to survive, not to kill each other like air-headed idiots!!", he screamed. Then, he looked at Grant, which possessed a weapon that was Dito's interest. He was slightly tired, so it was somehow easy to hit him. Seraph ran towards them.

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

SMG4 noticed the changes and got scared, his pupils turning into tiny dots.

SMG4: You don't have to tell me twice!

And with that SMG4 gave a scream as he started to run off, away from the chaos about to happen.

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

Six had finished dousing the hair with the lighting oil as she turned to see what was happening to Kurama. You could see it on her face as she appeared to be began to run for Kurama.

"S-Stay back Six......it's....too.....l-late.....for....me" Kurama voice was heard the pausing with him coughing up more blood as he began to feel the churning inside of him. True demon bodies work different than human bodies but since he was in his human form this was void. It was clear as day when she saw him covered in the black haze blood trickling down his mouth yet despite all the pain he stood for now. Kurama being more resilient than the average person grit his teeth and outright refused to show pain not wanting to give this spirit the satisfaction of seeing him suffer. "Y-You all........m-make it.........urg out of here......live on....where....I....could....no-" was all he could muster up to say before collapsing either from the pain or from blood loss. ' My family and my friends I am sorry but I won't be able to return to you' Kurama thought to himself as he lied there slowly dying but by now it appeared as if it couldn't be helped.

Six on the other hand instantly turned around when she was told to stay back and lit a match moving to lite the hair on fire after having doused it in lighting oil. "Come on come on hurry up and burn" Six said to herself thinking that she could lite it then go save Kurama but when she saw him collapse it seemed as if it was over for him.

[Grant Harrison, Group B, West hall second floor main building]

"...I knew it.......I knew not to trust you crazy son of a bitch" was all Grant said seeing Dito run at him with that pipe. Grant knew better than to just run in knowing that Dito had a reach advantage with that pipe. He had to figure out a way to get in close then he could use his grappling experience with that glass shard for devastating effect. So he readied himself preparing to dodge which ever way Dito swung. He could see Seraph running towards him and Dito hoping maybe what he said would distract Dito enough so he could get closer or that he would be able to catch Dito off guard while Dito was focused on Grant himself.

[Keiichi Maebara, Group A, Infirmary, Second floor main building]

Keiichi sputtered and spat, coughed and hacked as he massaged his throat. "Gurgle gurgle gurgle" indeed. That woman could choke. Anyway, what exactly was going on?

First off, he was wrong. He was apparently with Shion rather than Mion. That was a shame, but nothing too major.

Second, he ought not scare people apparently. Now that's just wrong.

Third, he needed to get towels or water or something to put out a fire they were apparently about to light on a giant hair monster that seemed to be sucking the life out of someone he'd never seen before.

Fourth, did Rika ever teach him to dispel spirits? It was possible, but he didn't seem to remember.

'Wait.

'Giant hair monster that seemed to be sucking the life out of someone I've never seen before? What the hell is going on?'

It was at that moment that Keiichi realized exactly why Shion had asked him if Rika had ever taught him to dispel spirits. Err. Errrrrr. "W-well, shrine maidens wear red hakama and I think the color red may have to do with it, maybe. I think I read that somewhere. Oh, and there's always salt! That works, I think. Throwing salt on them. Talismans, too, but I wouldn't know what to write on one...Where's Rika when you need her?"

Keiichi gulped. He still had no idea what the hell was going on. Wait, what about salt-water? That's both the salt to drive off the demon, and the water to put out the fire. And wasn't it saltwater that they used to clean off that stink spirit in that one movie? Or was it something else? No wait, that didn't come out until 2001. How'd Keiichi know about it? Either way, that's off-topic. What mattered now was his ingenious saltwater plan.

No, wait.

That was a dumb idea.

And he still had no idea what the hell was going on.

"Oh and by the way, Shion, what the hell is going on?"

[Yuno Gasai & Yukiteru Amano (Group A) - Infirmary, Second Floor Main Building]
(Have some music to come along with this...

Probably from the blood loss that Yuno had to experience once again, she was on the brink of passing out once more, holding onto Yukiteru as strong as she could. Even if he knew Yuno for a few years, he was starting to swell up with a ton of intense feelings. Was he going to lose someone that he actually considered his first love? Well...she was always extreme, but he could tell that she had a normal side as well. Was it that he wanted her to live? And for what clear reason? Yukiteru couldn't think properly, and the only way to remove all of this internal (and external) stress was to get the hell out of this infirmary. He wasn't going to let Kurama's sacrifice be a waste, and he didn't want anyone else to die because of their position within this infirmary. At that moment, Yuno had fainted silently in the tight grasp of Yukiteru's arms, fainting into a peaceful slumber for who knows how long while in the embrace of her beloved.

"...Y-Yuno....we need to leave this infirmary! Get us out! Get us out! Get us out!" Yukiteru started to panic, he wanted to get out of this place as fast as they could, get all of them to safety. He kept himself near Yuno at all costs, hugging her tightly to his body, he wasn't going to let her go until they were away from this dark haze that was most likely a vengeful spirit. His eyes glanced over to Kurama's direction...there was no hope for him to leave this room alive. By now, the unfortunate one to hold off the haze of the vengeful spirit was soon to expire, and the very last thing that he would do before his death....was to literally force out what was his mushed up and torn apart entrails and organs all over the floorboards. From Kurama's point of view, the very last thing he would see before death was the brief face of a person, the face of the dark haze, the face of the vengeful spirit. Then...it was all over for him.

Breathing unsteadily and traumatized to see one of their group perish like that, Yukiteru began to hypervenilate rapidly, and then started to spit out as much gibberish with the sounds of crying to mask his gibberish. He has seen death before, to several of the participants of the Survival Game, but to see someone killed in that way and in a place where anyone could die no matter the cause...it literally scared Yukiteru to death. For Yukiteru, he wouldn't remember much of this well due to his apparent panicking and expressive trauma to this event, and the fears that he or even Yuno would be next if they didn't get out of this room as soon as possible. Or maybe it was because of something else...

It took a bit for the matches to actually light the drenched "hair wall" into flames, several moments after Kurama's death, and it wouldn't take long for the flames to completely burn out the hair wall and soon after the wooden door itself and the floorboards. Though, in inclusion with their current predicament, the antique doll that was now in Yukiteru's possession (kept in his jacket pocket), began to sing once more to both bring pressure and fear to this unfortunate group:

♪ Death Death Death ♪
♪ Someone's guts and entrails is all over the floor ♪
♪ Will there be more before opening the door? ♪
♪ I won't be alone anymore ♪
♪ The spirits will be the ones to do the chore ♪
....hehe...hihihihi....AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!

---

[Dito & Lelouch vi Britannia (Group B) - West Hall, Second Floor Main Building]

While Dito was a total nutcase when it comes to mental stability, he wasn't a complete idiot either. Dito had been in real battles in the past, on his own, with the assistance of Lady Five and later on Lady Zero. For this combat situation in particular, it was obvious that the glass shard was going to do more cutting damage than his metal pipe, but as the metal pipe was a blunt object, it would be easy to knock out anyone with it if he were to aim for the right spot. Getting too close would result with him with a glass shard into his gut, but it wasn't going to have good reach depending on Dito's location compared to Grant's. So, moments before the expected swing of the pipe would happen, Dito ducked down and did an immediate forward roll that would allow him to swiftly avoid the glass shard and be right behind Grant. Now somewhere that the shard wouldn't reach him immediately, Dito took the opportunity to swing the pipe at Grant's legs while crouching moments after the roll, attempting to knock the boy to the ground.

As this happened Lelouch was still out cold, and it seemed like he wouldn't be doing much for the whole remainder of this skirmish.

[Group A Rikku Infirmary]

"I have every right to be ..." She reluctantly revealed herself from under the bed..only to see Kurama dead with his entrails splattered everywhere. "Oh no..nonono..." She was frozen and horrified. The ominous singing only added to how she felt as she was pale and vomited.

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

There it finally began to burn and it seemed to make short work of the hair wall and door. "Come on get a move on people gotta moved fast to get past the flames without serious injury" Six said realizing that Kurama was no more and that the haze would more than likely target someone else. Six knew this and wanted to get every one else out before more death would occur. Her well 'other side' found it funny to some extent. The irony in such a brutal murder in an infirmary but she tuned out her other side and focused on the current situation.

If any were to see in Kurama's final moments when he saw that face even as his entrails were coming up his throat he still showed it no fear. Defiant till the end in his own way sent out a message to this spirit that even in death he would not fear the spirit.

[Grant Harrison, Group B, West hall, Second floor main building]

This wasn't good as Dito had rolled behind Grant but Grant expecting an attack from behind jumped forward arcing his body so he landed in a roll coming up on one knee facing Dito again. " Man if it wasn't for that psycho chick I kept getting into fights with back home i'd have never been prepared to face someone like you" Grant said to Dito revealing that this is not his first time fighting a psycho. He stood up readying his shard again hoping that Seraph was on his side as he could tell he was going to need help with this one.

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

Seraph tackled Dito so he could go a little away. "Are you alright?", he asked.

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

Alright, the fire seemed to have worked. Perfect. That meant it was time to get the hell out of there.

However, Shion did take what Keiichi said and began to formulate a plot with it. If red and salt could hold spirits at bay, or even possibly damage them, then that is exactly what Shion would get. She had to survive, as well as Keiichi. If he died on her watch, her sister's innerdemon would rage, and since her innerdemon has never been active, that would probably be horrifying.

And before Shion made her epic escape with Keiichi, she looked over at Kurama and let out another one if her signature smiles. Hopefully, Kurama would be able to see it in his final moments. Shion didn't plan for him to die, not in the slightest, but since he did, all the better for her. One less insect standing in her path to Satoshi. He might have been the mole, but even if he wasn't, he was annoying. And you shouldn't annoy Shion.

Shion's face went back to normal, and grabbed Keiichi's arm. She ran as fast as he she could out of the nurse's office, making sure to drag Keiichi along with her. This might have resulted in Keiichi with a dislocated arm, but he would be fine. Shion would just push it back into place and it would be nice and usable again. Shion would continue to drag him until she got into an area she felt safe. Well, while they were running, it was probably best that Shion told Keiichi everything she knew.

" I honestly have no idea, just keep running! "

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

Without even thinking at all and possibly in the same manner as to how Shion and Keiichi left the infirmary, Yukiteru began to drag himself and Yuno right out of the infirmary, desperate to get to safety. The others would just see the two head off into a location, disregarding the group. They could hear him say "we need to be safe together Yuno" silently, prompting that Yukiteru was trying his best to get himself and Yuno safe from all of this mess. Maybe it was hysterical paranoia that was starting to grow out of control of Yukiteru, seeing Yuno in such a weak state and seeing Kurama being killed just like that. It was too much for him...and if someone would to see him before he got too far from the group, there were very faint hints of a dark aura coming from his body and he didn't seem to notice it. Then, both Yukiteru and Yuno were all the way at the West Hall of the second floor, close to Classroom 1-A.

For the group that would be soon exiting the infirmary, it seemed like the dark haze couldn't go any further out of the infirmary, as if the hostile spirit was confined to this very room for some reason.

---

[Dito & Lelouch Vi Britannia (Group B) - West Hall, Second Floor Main Building]

"T-The hell? Get the fuck off me!" Dito snarled as he was tackled down by Seraph. What the fuck was this guy doing? He was really trying to stop Dito's fun, fucking killjoy. In an insane rage, Dito apparently had the strength to pin Seraph to the ground, attempting to choke and suffocate this guy. He was still aware that Grant would do something, but he was prepared to use this other guy as a human shield if it came to that.

During all of this chaos, no one seemed to realize that Lelouch was suddenly gone, as if he had disappeared or that he never existed at all.

[Courier Six, Group A, Infirmary to West hall, Second floor main building]

Six moved fast to escape the infirmary and in all the confusion ended up following Yukiteru and Yuno. "W-Wait Yukiteru, Yuno we need to stick together" Six said before noticing for a moment the dark aura coming out of Yukiteru it make her worry for him. "Dammit why is everyone running indifferent directions" Six said deciding last second to follow Yukiteru and Yuno.

[Yusuke Urameshi, Group A, Entranceway, First floor main building.]

Waking up moments after Kurama's death was one of his best friends in the form of Yusuke Urameshi. Looking around in confusion it clearly donned on Yusuke that he was not with Keiko but in some ol abandoned school. "Ok Koemna this isn't funny" Yusuke stated getting back up to his feet to further inspect where he was.

[Grant Harrison, Group B, West hall, Second floor Main building]

Grant knew he had to act fast so while DIto was choking out Seraph Grant ran forward in an attempt to grab and hopefully backstab Dito.

=Group A=
Jercus hanged back in the infirmary to make sure the others got out first. Seeing them leave he whispered a quick prayer for Kurma soul before jumping out of the infirmary. The guardsman landed next out side of the room and decided to followed after six.
