AN/ Disclaimer: Hello Readers,
This is the first chapter of my Corpse Party: Blood Covered and Naruto crossover. I've changed a few things here and there (for example, in the original manga, anime and game the teacher involved in Corpse Party was female and here the teacher is male. Also, Nine people were involved in the Sachiko Ever After Charm in the Pringles story and this story includes Thirteen participants) there will be other really noticeable differences; such as number of separated groups, which character is linked to which death, etc. but I hope you still enjoy it. This Fanfiction follows the Corpse Party: Blood Covered manga more than it follows the game or anime so there may be a lot oof differences due to translation from the original source. Any characters killed off or seriously injured in the following FanFiction DOES NOT reflect my opinion of said characters.
I do not own Naruto not do I own Corpse Party. Both belong to their respective authors and representatives involved. This is non profitable. Please support the official releases.
Summary:Sakura is transferring from Konoha Academy to another school. To wish their friend goodbye; Naruto, Sasuke and the rest of the "Rookie 12" decide to cast a Happy Sachiko Charm with their Teacher; Iruka. Instead of the charm's intended purpose, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and their friends are cast into the nightmarish world of Tenshin Elementary. Can their friendship keep them alive and bring them home?
Multiple Separation
Rain lashed relentlessly against the windows and loud rumbles of thunder occasionally accompanied the pitter pattering sound. The lightning lit up the classroom; forming eerie shadows of the desks and the trees outside on the hard wooden floor. At the front of the classroom, in front of the teacher's desk, sat a group of eleven students - all of them gathered around a single white candle. At the head of the group was a girl; she had brunette hair that was tied into two buns on either side of her head, her eyes were chocolate brown in colour and she wore a blue and white blouse and skirt; a uniform to match those of her female peers. The lighting of the candle; that was sometimes accompanied by that of the lightning outside, gave her a dark and sinister expression as she told her story to her classmates.
"It happened after school on a rainy night, much like tonight." The brunette girl started her story; her voice was little above an audible whisper as though she was fearful that someone outside of her group of friends would hear her. "Back when this place was still called Tenshin Elementary School. At that time, there was a male teacher who fell down the stairs and died."
Another girl; who had long dark hair, a pretty, pale face and eyes to match her complexion gave a gasp and held her hand over her mouth to silence herself.
The brunette gave her peers a smirk; revelling in the atmosphere of fear and tension that she had created, she then continued her story. "Several years after his death, Tenshin Elementary School was torn down. After that, on the same plot of land, this school - Konoha Academy - was erected. In the new school, from the time it was built until now, the teacher had been wandering through the hallways. It's very dangerous to stay in the school after seven o'clock at night." The brunette paused for dramatic effect before she lowered her voice; forcing the group to lean closer to her so that they could hear they next part of her story. "They say that if the power were to go out and the corridors were pitch black… that the teacher would appear! It starts with a knock on the door, then the door will slowly open on its own and a pale face will appear. 'Is anyone still here?'" The girl imitated a man's voice.
"UWAAAH!" A blond haired boy clasped both of his hands over his own mouth to cease his scream; he stared wide eyed at his friend's who had all jumped away from him in shock.
"Honestly, Naruto." A pink haired girl tutted at him while the others began to giggle. "It's only a story."
"I know that, Sakura!" The blond replied defensively.
"You're such a scaredy cat." Another girl laughed; she was also blonde.
"What happens next, TenTen?" The ebony girl who had gasped earlier during TenTen's story spoke up.
"Are you sure you're alright with these stories, Hinata?" A brunet boy who was sitting beside the dark haired girl gave her a concerned glance.
"I'll be fine, thank you Kiba." Hinata beamed back at him. "Tell us what happens next, TenTen." She then urged her friend.
"Well -" TenTen began, but was quickly cut off when her candle suddenly extinguished itself. "Huh?"
"I can't see anything." Came Sakura's voice.
"Hey, what happened to the candle?" Kiba's voice called out into the dark.
"I don't know." TenTen replied.
"Cut it out, TenTen, it's not funny!" Naruto growled.
"I'm not doing anything!"
"Shh!" Someone hushed the group into silence as Sasuke's voice spoke. "Did you guys hear that?"
"Hear what?" Naruto asked.
"Just listen."
Everyone sat in complete silence; no one daring to move a muscle. And then it happened again.
Dun. Dun. Dun.
"Someone's knocking on the door." Hinata breathed.
"Oh, very funny, TenTen." The blonde girl's voice tutted.
"It's not me, Ino!" TenTen spoke in an exasperated tone. "How can that be me? I'm right here!"
Dun. Dun. Dun.
Three more knocks sounded from the door. It was then followed by an unmistakeable clicking noise and the creak of the hinges.
"They're coming in!" Ino whispered frantically; she held on tight to Sakura's arm.
"Ow! That hurts!" Sakura winced; but she didn't shake the other girl off.
They all watched and held their breaths as the door opened and a pale face peered into the classroom in the space between the door and the doorframe.
"Is there anyone here?" A new, unfamiliar voice issued from the door. "Is there anyone here?"
"G-GHOST!" Naruto shouted and his classmates began to scream and cower in terror.
The classroom lights flickered into life as the figure at the door began to roar with laughter. A tall man with brunet hair that was pulled back into a messy ponytail and a heavily scarred nose crossed over the threshold into the classroom.
"Calm down, you guys." The man chuckled. "It's only me."
"M-master Iruka!" Ino gave a sigh of relief.
"Wow, you really had us there." A plump boy by the name of Chōji spoke up.
"Even I'll admit that I was shaken up quite a bit." Another boy who sat between Chōji and Ino gave a shaky laugh; this boy's name was Shikamaru. "I guess it was worth it for Naruto's reaction though." He nodded at a figure that was hunched over on the floor covering his eyes with his hands and shaking from head to foot.
"Hey, get up, moron." Sasuke stood up and nudged the blond with his foot. "It was only Iruka."
"Huh?" Naruto peered through his fingers to see his teacher standing the doorway of the classroom. He then pushed himself up into a sitting position. "Master Iruka?"
"You don't really believe in ghosts, do you Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"O-of course not!"
"But what's to say that ghosts don't exist?" TenTen enquired earnestly.
"You just like to scare people." Lee laughed at his friend. "It is your speciality."
"What are you still doing here, Master Iruka?" Sakura directed her question at their teacher.
"I found someone for you, Hinata." Iruka beamed at the dark haired girl as another figure stepped through the doorway.
"Neji!" Hinata gave a bright smile as she saw her cousin.
"Lady Hinata." Neji returned the smile and held out an umbrella. "I saw you wasn't home, so I guess you'd still be here. I brought this for you so you won't catch a cold on the way home."
"Thank you, Neji." Hinata bowed her head to show her gratitude and took the umbrella.
"Well, it's getting late. Your parents will be wondering where you all are." Iruka announced. "I think it's time we all went home."
"But -" Ino gave Iruka a sad look.
"Ah, of course." Iruka nodded slowly; immediately understanding Ino's body language. "This is Sakura's last day here at Konoha Academy."
"It's not like its going to be goodbye forever though, right?" Sakura gave a sad smile.
"That's right!" Naruto grinned at her. "We can still hang out together."
"It's not like you're moving far away." Kiba joined in.
"We can come and visit you during the school holidays." Hinata added.
"Thanks guys." Sakura tried to blink away her tears. "You're all truly the best friends I could ask for."
"I have an idea!" TenTen perked up; her eyes glimmering with excitement. "If its okay with you, Master Iruka." She stared expectantly at their teacher.
"Hm?" Iruka glanced around at his student. "What is it, TenTen?"
"A Happy Sachiko Charm!" TenTen chimed happily; pulling out what appeared to be a paper doll from her school bag.
"A what?" Shikamaru squinted at the paper doll apprehensively.
"It's a spell. If a group of people tear this doll apart, they'll be good friends forever. Cool, huh?"
"I see no harm in it." Lee shrugged.
"A spell?" Sasuke raised his eyebrow at the doll.
"Will it really work?" Naruto asked.
"It couldn't hurt to give it a try." Chōji rose to his feet. "How does it work, TenTen?"
"We all hold onto this Sachiko Doll." TenTen explained. "And then we all repeat the words 'Sachiko, if you please' in our minds, once for each person present. So, as there are thirteen of us, we repeat the words thirteen times - no more, no less - even if you mess it up a little, it won't matter. Once everyone had finished the chants, we simply tear the doll and keep the pieces of paper."
"Sounds easy enough." Kiba smirked. "Can we do it, Master Iruka?"
"I can't see why not." Iruka smiled at his students.
"Thanks, Master Iruka!" TenTen squealed happily. "Everyone hold onto this Sachiko Doll!"
"Neji, do you want to join in?" Hinata offered.
"Of course." Neji joined the group around TenTen and her paper doll as everyone; including Iruka, followed TenTen's instructions.
"Now everyone say 'Sachiko, if you please' thirteen times in your head, remember no more and no less than thirteen times otherwise we will fail."
Naruto gave a loud gulp. "What happens if we fail?"
"Oh quit worrying, will you?" Sasuke
sighed; resisting the urge to whack the blond around the head.
There was a few moments of silence as everyone obeyed TenTen's instructions and recited the command thirteen times.
"Okay, everyone done?" TenTen breathed. Her question was met with twelve nods from her peers and teacher. "Okay, on the count of three everyone pull. One… two… three!"
The paper doll ripped into small pieces and everyone stared down at the fraction of paper doll in their hands.
"That's was… anticlimactic." Shino finally articulated.
"Did you expect an explosion or something?" Kiba sighed. "Of course it's going to be anticlimactic! It's a piece of bloody paper!"
"That's it!" TenTen announced. "The spell is done! Everyone, make sure you look after your paper. With these pieces of the Sachiko Doll, we'll always be friends."
"Thanks, TenTen! This is awesome!" Sakura beamed at her friend as the other began to cheer and laugh in delight at the charm.
"Huh?" Naruto was the only person to stop and notice the clattering noise. "Guys, is it just me or-"
The wooden desks and the chairs began to vibrate and shake; making a terrible racket against the floor, the windows began to shudder in the frames and the lights flickered.
"A-an earthquake?" Ino shouted over the clattering of the tables and chairs. She lost balance and collapsed to the floor; accidentally dragging Sakura with her.
One by one, each of the students and Iruka lost their balance until try we're all grouped together on the floor.
"Try and get under the desks!" Iruka instructed them.
"Tch!" Sasuke gasped. "My hand! The floor is…!" The floor beneath Sasuke's hand began to crumble and fall; causing more cracks to form beneath the group. The floor crumbled and collapsed making everyone fall into the blackness beneath.
Sakura slowly opened one of her turquoise eyes. A musty smell filled her nostrils with every breath she took. She gave herself a few moments to gather her memories and let her eyes adjust to the lighting - or lack of.
"Where am I?" She asked herself; pushing herself onto her feet - only to stagger sideways and hold into the closest desk. "Ugh! My ankle, I must've landed on it when I fell." She tried to move her foot - just so that she could be sure that she would be able to walk on it. "I think it's only sprained." Sakura concluded; finally pushing herself off of the desk and tentatively applying pressure to her painful ankle. She looked around herself; taking in the appearance of the room; to say that it was a mess was an understatement, the desks were strewn all over the place and floorboards were missing here an there. Sakura limped to one of the windows and glances outside; feeling her heart sink when she didn't recognise the scene outside. She pulled at the windows and quickly became annoyed when they wouldn't budge. "Looks like I'll just have to find another exit." She sighed to herself. "I wonder if there's anyone else here."
A small object caught her eye on the floor; she picked it up and recognised it as her student identity badge, inside the wallet of her badge was a small piece of torn paper.
"Of course!" Her eyes widened as her memory finally caught up with her. "We were all doing TenTen's charm in our classroom but… this is a classroom, but it's not our classroom." She glanced around again and ran her hand over the closest desk. "The desks are so small. Is this an elementary school?"
Her focus finally fell upon a notice on the classroom wall, she quickly approached it; deciding that this would be an ideal start in gathering information.
"'Tenshin Elementary School's plan regarding the incidents that happened at the school…'" Sakura read the notice aloud. "'We hope that our staff members will efficiently carry out the previous measures that were set. Tenshin Elementary School principle; Sakumo Hatake.' Tenshin Elementary? Where have I heard of that name before?" Sakura slumped herself against the wall. "Where's everyone else? Why am I all alone here? Did they leave me here?"
