[01] The Girl At The Big Tree
Natsu's POV
"Natsuuuu!!" My best friend, Lucy Heartfilia yelled and jumped at my back.
"Hey, Luce, you're heavy!! Get off!" I yelled.
"Heyyy!!" Lucy yelled and got off of me.
"Natsu, Lucy, you're so noisy, keep it down." Our friend, Gray Fullbuster said.
"Shut up, you stripper!! Where's Erza by the way?!" I yelled.
"You don't have to yell. Anyways, Erza's in the library with the others." He said.
"Then, let's go there." Lucy said. We nodded and went to the library and saw Erza with the others.
"Heyo, what's up, guyyys??" I asked and sat beside Nagisa.
"Nothing. By the way, our teacher told us to stay here at the library 'cause we were late earlier." Sakura said.
"Really? Maaan." Yohei and Tomoya whined.
"Shut up, you both. You were the ones who made US late!" Kyou yelled.
"Sis, keep it down." Ryou, Kyou's twin sister, said.
"Kyou, look!" Nagisa pointed at some newspaper.
"What is-- WHAT IS THAT, NAGISA?!" Kyou yelled.
"SHHH!!" Everyone whispered.
"S-Sorry." Kyou said.
"What is it, Nagisa?" Erza asked.
"There's this story that a girl in a big tree died somewhere in our school. It says it's in the playground. The big tree we used to climb in when we were elementaries." Nagisa said.
"That big old tree? Someone died there?" I asked. Nagisa nodded.
"I heard about that story once." Hinata said.
"Tell it to us, Hinata." Tomoyo said. Kotomi stopped reading her book and focused her attention to Hinata.
"5 years ago, a girl named Kurenai Sarutobi was also climbing that big tree when she was in elementary school until in highschool. Her best friend, Tsunade Senju, knew that there was something wrong with Kurenai so Tsunade asked her. Kurenai just smiled and said that it's nothing. Kurenai's husband, Asuma Sarutobi, was worried about Kurenai too but Asuma didn't bothered to ask Kurenai. Three days later, Kurenai climbed on the tree again and looked down sadly at the ground, all of a sudden, she heard someone whispering 'Jump now' to her. She looked around but no one was there. Kurenai became a bit scared at jump to the ground safely but unfortunately, she kinda broked her ankle. Nobody knew about it besides Kurenai herself. She never told it to Asuma. Even Tsunade. Another day, she climbed the tree again and looked around, no one was still there but she saw a white dress. Kurenai took a look at it and saw that it was stained with blood, suddenly, someone pushed her down. Tsuande and Asuma went where Kurenai is and saw her dead, laying on the ground with her own blood. Asuma and Tsunade, even the whole school, didn't even knew or had a clue why Kurenai fell, until now." Hinata said which send goosebumps all over my body.
"So that's why eveyone wasn't going to that tree lately." Sakura said.
"Why was Kurenai sad?" Tomoyo asked.
"Because her other best friend, Miku Hatsune, died because Miku also fell into the tree." Nagisa said.
"Huh. Creepy." Lucy said.
"That's really scary. Where did you heard it?" I asked.
"Newspapers and books. My dad is always reading newspapers and leaves it at the living room so i sneakly snatched it reads some." Hinata said.
"Wait, that was five years ago, how did you knew it?" Naruto asked.
"I do admit that when i was a kid i also read newspapers." Hinata said with a blush.
"Do you think the ghost's spirit is still at the tree?" I asked.
"Maybe. Wait, no. It's not--"
"They said the spirit never comes away in that big tree." Hinata cutted off Gray.
"Who is the spirit?" Kotomi asked.
"Mei Misaki." Hinata said.
"Mei... Misaki?" Kotomi asked.
"Yeah. Do you kind of know her?" Hinata asked.
"No but... I heard my uncle and auntie talk about someone named Mei Misaki and Kouichi Sakakibara. They were both dating and happy but then... Kouichi...pushed Mei off the tree. That big tree because Kouichi was jealous of Naoya stealing Mei from him. Kouichi was so angry to himself so...he decided to suicide by jumping at the tree." Kotomi said.
"That's insane! Kouichi should've pushed NAOYA NOT MEI." I said.
"Yeah but... Kouichi thought that Mei was flirting with Naoya." Kotomi said. Everyone was speechless. VERY speechless.
"That's very creepy. Is Naoya is still alive?" Erza broked the silence.
"Everyone doesn't have any clue." Nagisa and Hinata said.
"Hmmmmm, maybe Naoya transferred to other school that day." Naruto said.
"Maybe." Ryou said.
"Hey kids, the lunch break is over. Go to your classrooms." Our advisor, Levi Ackerman, said.
"Okay, sir." We said and went to our classrooms.
No One's POV
What the gang didn't knew is that Levi is thinking something suspicious about them.
'Didn't those kids know that it is forbidden to tell that story? Well, kids are kids.' Levi thought.
"Levi." The school's librarian, Armin Arlert, said.
"Yes, Armin?" Levi asked.
"Where's Sasha and Mikasa? They're not at the attic again, right?" Armin asked.
"They're not. They went to the cafeteria ealier with Eren and Jean." Levi said.
"Oh, i see. Those kids earlier are crazy. Why are they talking about THAT story?" Armin asked.
"I don't know. But they are kids so let them be. They'll experience that too anyway." Levi said.
"What was that?" Armin asked.
"Nothing. I gotta go. I got a class to teach. See you later, Arlert." Levi said and walked away from the library.
'He is kinda suspicious, i gotta say.' Armin said and went back to his desk.
[ Meanwhile, At The Gang ]
"C-A-B-I~!" The girls were singing a KOREAN song but they're JAPANESE. That is very unique.
"Hey, look, it's Maki Nishikino and Nico Yazawa from Class 1-B! They're our junior's since we're in Class 2-C." Ryou said.
"They're always beside each other." Naruto said.
'Levi... He's really mysterious for a teacher i gotta say...' Sasuke thought.
"Sasuke-kun, are you alright?" Sakura said.
"Yeah." Sasuke said.
"Hey, you kids!" The student council president, Misae Sagara, yelled. Misae was the first female student council president in the JPNU and everyone is afraid of her.
"Ms. Sagara." Nagisa mumbled.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on your classrooms?" Misae asked.
"Yeah, we are going there now." Sasuke said.
"Misae!" A guy yelled. Everyone turned around and saw the vice-president, Katsuki Shima.
"Katsuki, what's up?" Misae asked at the scared and sweating Katsuki.
"There's another student who fell on the big tree!" Katsuki yelled.
"What?! Come on, let's go. You all should return to your classrooms." Misae said and ran away with Katsuki.
"Who the heck would go to the tree if they know it's dangerous?" Lucy mumbled.
"Those kids are really troublesome i gotta say." Tomoyo said.
"Don't you guys think that it's weird the Mei's spirit isn't going away from that tree?" Tomoya asked.
"Yeah, it's really weird." Naruto said.
"Maybe Mei wants revenge on whoever goes to that tree?" Erza asked.
"Maybe, maybe not." A voice said. Everyone turned around and saw Jellal Fernandes. The school's guidance.
"Jellal." Erza mumbled.
"Mei isn't going to rest if that tree is still there." Jellal said.
"So, we have to remove the tree?" Gray asked.
"I don't know. If you guys are gonna remove the tree, you guys gotta be careful." Jellal said and walked away.
'Jellal is kinda suspicious too.' Sasuke thought.
"Well, well, if it isn't the not-so-popular group of friends." A creepy voice said.
"Orochimaru." Sasuke said.
"It's been a long time, Sasuke Uchiha. How's your parents? Oh, i'm sorry, aren't they resting?" Orochimaru asked which made Sasuke furrow his eyebrows.
"What do you want, Orochimaru?" Natsu asked.
"Nothing." Orochimaru said and walked away with his friend, Kabuto Yakushi, the smartest student of Class 2-C besides Kotomi.
"I hate those two. They're always competitive." Kotomi said.
"Almost everyone hates them but they don't give a single damn." Yohei said.
"Let's go back to class, Mr. Akio will be angry at us again." Ryou said. Akio Furukawa is Nagisa's hyperactive father while Nagisa's mother, Sanae Furukawa, is a sweet woman.
"Yeah, let's go." Everyone said and walked away. What they didn't knew id there's a pair of eyes watching them from afar.
'What if the tree needs to be removed badly? What would happen if the tree was removed? Will Mei's spirit go away? Is this story some kind of...mystery?' Natsu thought.
