"Damn, why do you have to be so freakin' tall? I feel like I'm a Merry Midget talkin' to Snow White or somethin'." Jinta chuckled as he nervously scratched the back of his head, his eyes failing to make contact momentarily. "It was nothin'. And you don't need to bother 'bout repaying my ass until we get outta this hellhole, 'kay?" He beamed a smile and nodded. "Now, let's go find our fri-"Jinta seems to have cut himself off.... He looks like he's on alert... "You heard that?"

"...no."

Jun lets go, and listens intently for another noise.

"Should we run for it?"

-Eien : Heavenly Host = Infirmary-

As he delivered the wounded girl to the bed, he fell backwards onto his ass, breathing heavily. He held his breath for the time being when he carried the girl to safety. Eien was however rather disturbed by what he felt when he held the girl close to his body. When he carried her over to the bed in a rather awkward fashion, her body felt cold as ice, sending a few chills down his spine. This girl that he had carried over was like a corpse, then again maybe she was one. Either way he still felt compelled to help the suffering girl, despite the fact that she had tried to murder him. He did feel that he should not only wrap the girls wrists up, but hands up with the gauze as a just in case she tried anything. Despite the fact that he felt so guilty for her suffering, he still was startled by her sudden attack that he had to take precautions. Then again, the gauze was limited so he should probably only use it for wounds. He would need to watch over her, the door, and Mayuri for different reasons.

"(That girl... If there are more like her be for she back rather mellow and tame, I need to keep a watch on the door just in case... Naomi, Yosuke, Yume, Jun, Kiku, Shirako, Jinata, I hope you guys are ok, and having better luck than me for the time being.)"

The boy sighed and rubbed the back of his head, worried about his friends and the two in the infirmary. He grabbed the painkiller bottle, and quickly put the pills back in the contained. He then popped the pills into his pocket, grabbed the gauze and rubbing alcohol, and rushed over to the girl with the bled wrists. Eien then performs the same tactic as before on this unknown girls wound, applying rubbing alcohol to some gauze, and cleaning the wound up. He then began to use the gauze to wrap up her wrists, and tighten the bandages so there would be a bit of pressure on the wound to keep her from bleeding out. He let out a sigh of relief that both of them would be ok for the time being from what he saw.

"(I'm glad both of them are ok for the time being... I want to head out and try and find the others, but I don't want to leave these two behind in the infirmary.)"

He shook his head, and mentally quized himself on the best course of action. He couldn't exactly leave her in the infirmary, and he felt he shouldn't abandon the unknown girl. His best decision for his ideal outcome was to watch over them until they both regained consciousness, but who knows how long that would take. He felt that he was stuck here until that event of his happened, or until one of his friends made it upon the infirmary. Eien didn't mind it, but he still worried himself over a few more intricate details that he couldn't exactly control. It was best to close the infirmary door, so no one would suspect a thing and wandering in here.

Before he could perform those actions, he caught eye of a book on a desk, presumably a diary on an old oak desk. He wondered what contents it could hold, and attempted to open up the book, failing horribly as he couldn't even open the cover up with the strength he held. He wondered why the book wouldn't open up, and shrugged it off for the time being. He still felt that book wouldn't be important later and would check it some time later. As he looked around the room for anything extra, he caught eye of a strangely familiar candle, and quickly walked towards it to check it out. He pondered on who's it could be for a moment, before turning away and walking towards the door. He couldn't try and figure out who it was later, but he had more important things to do at the moment.

((Insert saving game :P))

As he walked towards the door, he attempted to close it so no other creature would know they were in there.

"...no."Jun lets go, and listens intently for another noise."Should we run for it?"

Draaaaaaaaaaag...

Thud...

Draaaaaaaaaaag...

Thud...

That sound, it was familiar to Jun. Very familiar...

With a loud crash, the door to the Change Rooms was knocked right off its hinges, barely missing Jun and Jinta. And, to both their horrors, standing in the doorway was none other than Yoshikazu....

"Uuuaaaaaaaggggghhh... AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!" The man grunted, evidently enraged, as he spotted Jun and Jinta. Remarkably, it seemed his head had been snapped back into place, although one could quite easily see the visible bone jutting from the side of the giant man's neck. In his right hand was now not a pipe but what appeared to be some kind of sharp, long, metal instrument, somewhat like a lance, though smaller and less rounded.

"Crap! Not this freak!" Jinta raised his crowbar in defence. "Jun, get behind me. When I say so, run." He ordered her, his tone firm and cool, despite the situation...

Kiku felt a chill and then heard something behind him. The sound of stabbing and next Yume's voice, could it be...? "Y-Yume!" Trying to turn around quickly, he fell to the ground instead. "Y-Yume! Speak to me! A-Are you alright?!" Doing all these made the beating of his heart more unbearable. All sorts of things came into his mind, and all were not good. Quickly, ignoring his condition, he stood up and went beside where Yume is. "Move aside!!" he shouted at the ghosts. Kiku didn't care anymore whether they were ghosts or humans, what they did to her is something he can't forgive. Carefully holding her, he noticed the bleeding on her stomach, a severe one. He panicked, not sure what to do. "A-AH...! Hang in there!" Remembering what he saw people did in these situation, he placed both of his hands on the wound, trying to stop the flow of the blood. Suddenly, music can be heard from outside. The tune was something familiar, usually he heard it from a certain someone. shouted someone from the outside. Might it be him? "S-Shirako! Over here!" calling to him, he felt more glad that someone else appeared. Though, the situation with the girl before him isn't getting any better.Shirako entered and something glew in his pocket. The spirits reacted to this as they disappeared with the dimming of the light. a hoarse voice spoke to him. "I'm here! You'll be alright! Shirako is here now as well!" Kiku couldn't help letting his tears flow. "Shirako...!" he called to him for help. He quickly went to her and turned his shirt into a temporary bandage. Hopefully it'll help stop the blood from flowing. Shirako then told him, they need to go to the infirmary right now which is on the second floor. Kiku nodded and let him carry her on his shoulders, Kiku, with the best of his abilities, supported Shirako. Both of them carried her right away carefully. "Let's go!" he said.On the way to the infirmary, Kiku's pulse kept increasing as they brought Yume to the infirmary. They reached the stairs at last. A little bit more and everything would be better. Continuing, he felt more dizzy now as his condition worsened. "N-Not now..." he said in a whisper as his breathing became more ragged. He remembered reading something about the heart exploding a while after a continuous palpitation. Kiku hoped that wouldn't happen to him. As they went down the corridor, a sign saying 'infirmary' could be seen. "T-There...! That's... it right..?!" As they got close to the door, Kiku suddenly fell, but managed to prevent himself from falling completely. "G-Go...! I'll stay here for a bit... I'm just.. a bit.. tired.." he said in pauses as he carefully let Shirako carry her alone. Waiting for the both to go in, Kiku lied beside the door as he tried to calm down and relax. he thought as he closed his eyes.

Shirako nodded and quickly led Yume into the Infirmary. Setting the girl down on a bed, Shirako immediately went to the nearby cupboards and shelves, and, to his surprise, not only found what he needed but a lot of it. He then set to work.

Removing the temporary bandage that was his shirt, Shirako began wrapping a tight few layers of bandage around Yume's body (with some effort). He then set to work on giving Yume a painkiller, before continuing with other various medical tasks. He was by no means an expert, though from what he could tell it would've served her just fine, or at least for the time being...

Once Yume was taken care of, he went back outside to check on Kiku. Finding him passed out on the floor, Shirako hoisted him up on his shoulders also and carried him inside. He then proceeded to set Kiku down on the bed beside Yume. He wasn't sure what Kiku's problem was, though there wasn't much he could do about it....

And so, he waited for the two to recover...

As expected, the door slid close relatively easily, much to the probable comfort of Eien.

However, as he turned around, he saw...a ghost, sitting on the bed beside Mayuri. The ghost was female and looked roughly the same age as both Mayuri and Eien. Though there were some disturbing factors about the girl. For starters, she was wearing a Kisaragi Academy uniform, or at least one that looked practically identical. Eien also received a sense of déjà vu just by looking at the girl, as though he'd seen her before yet couldn't place his finger on it...

One of the more distinctive features of the girl was her hair. It was curled at the sides in a rather unique fashion. She just sat there, sitting by Mayuri, caressing her hair as she did so.



She looked up, staring directly at Eien. She smiled. "It's...been awhile, huh?" The girl asked, seemingly directing her question at Eien. "Sorry I couldn't come home from this place...but I'm happy Naomi and Mochida got through it... Well, I'm glad for everyone, but those two in particular..."

Naomi... Mochida... Both classmates and both were people who claimed their friends had disappeared...

-Eien : Heavenly Host = Infirmary-

Eien rubbed the back of his head as he closed the door, feeling the strands of hair that ran through his air. As he turned away to face the door, his heart almost skipped a beat when he saw a glowing blue girl sitting on the bedside by Mayuri. He grew almost fearful, before noticing that she showed no signs of hostility. He began to calm himself as he approached the girl, studying her with interest. She had the same female uniform from the looks of it, and she had had some cat-like features on her face, mainly the way she grinned. He felt he had known this girl, yet he couldn't call her name out due to his memories of this girl being barren, however...

She knew who he was. She uttered his name, Eien, saying it as if they were long time friends or acquaintances of sorts. His lip trembled with some semblance of sorrow, as his eyes widened with sympathy for the girl. She apologized for not coming home, but was rather pleased that her friends had made it home. There were two people should mentioned that could help him figure out who she was, along with a certain student ID.

"(I feel horrible that I can't remember who she was on my own without relying on guessing who she was with clues. I do have a good idea now due to the ID, and Naomi...)"

Eien gave the girl a rather sorrowful smile as he continued to traverse closer to the girl. He felt he knew full well who this girl was despite the fact that it felt like deja vu, but it wasn't... This was a person he probably shared myriads of joyful memories with, hell he might of been friends with this girl, but this place some how spirited those memories away. Despite the fact that he couldn't help forgetting her, he still felt bad about it, but he still smiled with happiness at the girl who he had forgotten.

"Yeah, it has been a long time... I feel horrible for not truly remembering you, but this time, I promise I won't forget you, Mayu, or anyone else who fell in this cruel and horrid place. I really am sorry I forgot about you miss, but I'm glad about one thing. I'm glad I was able to see you again... Seiko. I'm sorry I didn't believe your friends at first, that you existed. Can you ever forgive me for an atrocity like that? I mean I should be apologizing to them, but... I feel it would be wrong if I didn't apologize to those who I forgot... You, Mayu, and any other person who died here."

His eyes swiftly drifted between Seiko, and the unknown girl. It was peculiar how he was much more cautious with the girl, but was lenient and much more trusting of Seiko. Maybe it was because he was closer to Seiko, despite the distance due to his memories.

"Say, Seiko... Mind if I ask you a few questions about this place? Sorry if it seems out of the blue, but I want to get a better understanding of this place, and I want to try and comfort your souls since you died here."

" I don't watch tv, my family's home doesn't have any power and is very derelict, when it's night I have to use a candle just to see." Naomi informed him, her home life wasn't something she'd just speak out, but since they were doomed somewhere else than the real world, she figured she'd tell him. When the two came across the second body the bad smell didn't effect her, Naomi felt obligated to reach down and take it's I.D, and she read it aloud," Ryosuke Katayama." telling Yosuke so he wouldn't have to ask her who it was lying on the floor.

Yosuke gagged at the stench that filled his nostrils.The maggot encrusted corpse infront of him had all but rotted to the bone, and Yosuke was pretty disgusted. Naomi on the other hand, just grabbed the card off of it like it was nothing. She then read the name of the student aloud. There was no note attached to this one, but it was more recent, and this implanted fear into Yosuke. Someone was killing these kids, plain and simple, and Naomi and Yosuke were right in their path. He wasn't super worried, he had a serial killer of his own, and he wasn't exactly afraid of a fight. He directed both him and Naomi forward.

Help me...
Help me...
Help me...
Help me...
Please......
HELP US!

Yume jolted her eyes open, but only got to inhale a bit of air because her stomach was in pain.
What happened?

She looked down at her lower part and gently touched and caressed it. It was wrapped in thick layer of cloth. Aside from that, the pain seemed to have gotten down.
What a pity.... first, her leg, now her stomach.
She remembered the previous scene; the spirits, the stabbing, the pictures, the voices, Shirako and.... and Kiku...
"Ki-.. KIKU!-"

Yume made an attempt to hoist herself up into a sitting position.
"Gh- ...A-ahhn!"
But failed. It puts pressure to her stomach and gives pain. At least she could still breathe. In some way, she was still unable to believe that she still had the courage to open her eyes and catch her breath. In a small moment, she bit her lips and thanked God for giving her another chance.

She slowly turned her head left and right to scan her surrounding to see it has completely changed.
On her right, she saw a shirtless Shirako.... and smiled at him. If it weren't for his efforts, she would've been dead by now.
And on her left was a sleeping Kiku. She slowly reached out to touch his arm and gently called out his name.... but no reply.
She turned to Shirako.
"Shirako.... what happened to him?" Yume hoped that nothing like what happened to her happened to Kiku as well. Now that Shirako found them, it's high time that the three of them would set off to find the others together.

Shirako appeared to have returned to his usual self now that all the chaos died down, listening to music and not saying much, and it took him a moment to register what Yume had asked him. "He...passed out just outside the Infirmary. I don't know whether it was from exhaustion or something else, but...it's best to let the both of you rest for now." Shirako replied. After a moments silence he perked up. "Oh yeah. Have you guys seen Tohaku anywhere? We got separated trying to distract some big ugly guy..."

"I wanted to help in whatever ways I could," Seiko replied with a warm smile. "However, if there's anything specific you'd like to ask, you'd better be quick. This body...it's really quite exhausting, even if it's just...uh...a ghost? Yeah, that." She looked back at Mayuri and Eien could've sworn that he saw a tear trailing down Seiko's cheek. "My memories will explain a lot of what's going on and how to put a stop to it, though I don't know everything. Not to mention, this school has...changed since I died here..."

"If you go to the fourth stall in the third floor girls bathroom, you'll...find my student I.D. That should tell you everything. It might even make you remember who we all were. Actually, I've little doubt." Seiko explained. "Getting to the third floor is fairly simple. The stairs are at the north-west side of the building. You'll find it easily enough..."

Seiko then diverted her full attention to Eien. "So...that's all I've got to say. What's up?"

Jin could only stumble backwards in fear as she saw that man from before.

From there, she could only quiver her lower jaw in fear. Her teeth chattered quietly, and paired with that was a whimper of pathetic proportions.

"C'mon, on your fee-" Jinta was about to help Jun up when he saw Yoshikazu charge him. In a split second motion, he raised the crowbar and successfully deflected the giant mans attack, though not what came next. In his other hand, Yoshikazu held a large knife. He'd pinned Jinta against the wall and the knife was edging closer and closet to his face...

"Hurry up and get outta here, Beaumont-San!" Jinta yelled. From where she was, Jun could make out a faint smirk escaping Jinta's lips. "I got this..."

"Ah, Katayama-San... He died so...captivatingly." A voice spoke up from behind the two from atop the stairs. If the two were to look, they'd find themselves a spirit standing there, surrounded in a blue hue. "I hope you two will give me the same satisfaction, when the time comes... Heheheheheh....HahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The man laughed, clearly portraying his state of sanity..."So.... Which of you wish to die first...?~" The way he spoke so merrily about death would be...unnerving to most. Yet, Yosuke and Naomi weren't really like in the first place...

Naomi turned around to the voice as Yosuke was focused on his disgust of the body from earlier, she gazed upon the spirit who just stood atop the stairs, it taunted them and laughed out loud," What could something like you do against someone like me ? I'm already one foot into the grave, I doubt there's anything you could do to me that hasn't already been done." Naomi spoke to the spirit sounding both confident and angry.

Kizami chuckled with what one could assume to be pity. "Oh, really? Well I doubt your friend has taken a torture session before...and I'll just kill you anyway..." The spirit replied with a cold smirk, as he lifted a bloodied knife up towards his face. "This...instrument...has given so much satisfaction... I hope it doesn't fail me now."

The man began his descent of the stairs, walking calmly though smiling wickedly as he did so. "Please, go ahead. Run. It makes it all so much more entertaining...."

"Haa... Ha..." Kiku had been running for a while now. He had no idea where he is at the moment and couldn't think about it as he was being chased by someone. 'Where...?' All of a sudden, someone grabbed him from behind, "I FooUUnNNd YOouuUU. HAhhhaAHHaahh." His eyes widened as he saw the knife that was heading towards him. Fortunately, he managed to escape from the man's grip, but he was sliced a bit and almost fell to the ground. "AAAAHHH!" Red stains are on his hand. His shoulder was bleeding. It seriously hurt, but he knew had to get away from him. Mustering his strength to stand up, he quickly ran away. "YoU woOoN'T geT AWAy!!"

'T-This... From back then..?' However, fear built up as he was being chased and he soon forgot that this was only a memory from the past. In the real world, he must be breathing heavily. Suddenly, he tripped and fell to the ground, gaining more injuries as he did so. "N-Nooo..! Go away!" he shouted as he threw a rock he picked up at the one coming towards him, but this didn't help one bit. "HAHAHA!!" he suddenly laughed and soon ran towards Kiku. "STO- AHH!! IT HURTS!" he screamed as the knife went deeper into his arm. The pain he felt was unbearable that he felt his sanity leaving him. His stabber continued laughing as he took out the knife and in again. Kiku kept on calling out for help, but none would hear his voice. In the middle of the night, his continuous running had led him to a abandoned pier, he didn't notice it as escaping was the only thing in his mind, and the path he took led him here.

"AHH..! N-NO MORE! PLEASE!" Kiku cried then the man stopped, "No mOReeeeE~?" he had a huge grin and all of a sudden moved his hand with the knife back, as if he's about to plunge it to him as strong as he could. "ThEeeeN InnnN YoouUUUr HEaaaaD THiSS TImEE~!" The knife went closer and closer to his head and all Kiku could do was shield himself using his other arm. His left arm only gave him pain now. Death, that's all Kiku had in mind now, and that's what he's expecting to experience in a few seconds.

Shirako pushed down his headphones down to his shoulders and answered Yume.
"He...passed out just outside the Infirmary. I don't know whether it was from exhaustion or something else, but...it's best to let the both of you rest for now."

Yume gave a quiet discouraged moan as concern filled the very ends of her mind for Kiku. How did he get so tired all of a sudden? .... In any cases, she was glad that he was safe and still breathing.

"Oh yeah. Have you guys seen Tohaku anywhere? We got separated trying to distract some big ugly guy..." Shirako asked. Turning her attention to Shirako, she answered slowly and sorely.
"N-no... we hadn't stumbled on anyone but you so far.... But it's okay. We'll look for the others onc-"

Yume halted and suddenly heard heavy breathing beside her, She quickly turned her head to her left side to where Kiku was and saw him sweating and turning red as well. His expression seemed so tired and looked like he wanted to cry. What's happening? Is he heaving a bad dream?
"Kiku? Kiku!"
Along side that, he started to mumble loudly. Gibberish, screams and groans escaped from his mouth. His sweating and breathing became more intense. Yume quickly reached out to him with both of her hands. This gave a little pressure to her stomach, but gave Kiku more priority than her injuries. She shook his arm vigorously and patted his chest, doing her best to set aside the pain.
"Kiku! Kiku wake up! Wake up! Shirako! Wake him up!! What's happening to him?! KIKU!" Holding tightly onto Kiku's arm, she repeatedly called out his name loudly and refused to stop until he opens his eyes.

Yosuke stood, gawking at the blue-spirit man holding the knife. His maniacal laughter reminded him of Naomi not a few minutes ago, but this man was much more of an immediate threat. "Oh my god." He whispered as the being began descending down the stairs. "Naomi, let's go, now." Yosuke said as he grabbed Naomi's shoulder and bolted quickly down the decrepit steps to the lower level of the school. "I don't care if we're already dead, I do not want that guy going anywhere near you!" He shouted as he roughly pulled her along, completely forgetting that she was limping not two minutes ago. Once he got the the bottom of the stairs, Yosuke pulled out the pair of large scissors he had taken from the previous corpse out of his pocket, and aimed the menacingly at the stairs.

Shirako pushed down his headphones down to his shoulders and answered Yume. Yume gave a quiet discouraged moan as concern filled the very ends of her mind for Kiku. How did he get so tired all of a sudden? .... In any cases, she was glad that he was safe and still breathing. Shirako asked. Turning her attention to Shirako, she answered slowly and sorely.Yume halted and suddenly heard heavy breathing beside her, She quickly turned her head to her left side to where Kiku was and saw him sweating and turning red as well. His expression seemed so tired and looked like he wanted to cry. What's happening? Is he heaving a bad dream? Along side that, he started to mumble loudly. Gibberish, screams and groans escaped from his mouth. His sweating and breathing became more intense. Yume quickly reached out to him with both of her hands. This gave a little pressure to her stomach, but gave Kiku more priority than her injuries. She shook his arm vigorously and patted his chest, doing her best to set aside the pain. Holding tightly onto Kiku's arm, she repeatedly called out his name loudly and refused to stop until he opens his eyes.

Shirako sighed, muttering something along the lines of 'Fuck my life...' before doing something to wake up Kiku. He sat beside Yume as he removed his headphones and placed them over Kiku's ears. If Yume were to question it, she'd receive one of Shirako's signature quotes...

"I'm pumpin' up the bassline."

He scrolled through his phone before finding a suitable song, before playing it full blast into Kiku's ears. It was so loud Yume could hear it easily. "This'll wake him up..."

Kizami followed the two soon after they began their descent, walking patiently. When he arrived at the landing, he laughed at what he saw. "What do you think that will do, hmm? You know, throwing sharp objects is bad..." he paused as he raised his own knife again, masking half his face with the bloodied blade. "... You could seriously hurt someone..."

Before the knife hit his face, everything around him stopped and started to change, quick. "W-Wah?!" he shouted in his surprise as his surroundings became distorted and such all of a sudden, randoms colors started appearing everywhere too. A booming noise reverberated around him and this hurt his ears. He went to close his ears real fast, but the next thing he knew, Yume and Shirako's face was in front of him. Quickly, he removed the headphones and waited a bit for the ringing in his ears to stop. Once it did, he gave Shirako an upset look, "What was that for?!" But then he saw Yume, "You're alright now!" he was so relieved that he almost went to hug her, but he managed to control himself. "A-Ah. Sorry." he said, words directed to both of them. He didn't really mean to shout at Shirako like that. His dream must have cause him to do something like it. It was such a bad dream after all.

"Thanks. To both of you... and sorry again. I was just having a bad dream." then he did a light bow. Shirako doing what he did helped a lot actually. It waked him up from his nightmare, plus he forgot about what he was scared of, making him calm down and his condition better. The sound surprised him a bit though. Looking at Yume, the injury on her stomach still looks bad. "Maybe you should continue resting for now?" Then remembering that he still has the headphones in his hands, he gave it back to Shirako, "Uh... Here." Afterwards, he stood up, stretching a bit.
