Literally ignore this but I’m going crazy over an old fic I never finished- it was a continuation of Arcane where Jinx winds up in Demacia and starts working on construction at Lux’s mansion or something? And she’s mute and goes by J BUT all I know that it was fire I NEED IT BAD.
hello! I lowkey have writers block for the second chapter of THE GAMBIT... but I wrote this while listening to Taylor Swift's Fresh out the Slammer. So, inspired by Fresh out the Slammer by Taylor Swift. Thought I'd share with the class- val ♡
TRIGGERS!
Gore
Murder
Angst
Sad Ending. (Or bittersweet)
Don't read if not into these! Love y'all
Kira Timurova. A beautiful woman. A woman who was currently falling to the ground before her wife. Yumeko watched Kira's body fall to the ground, her own body bound, and screamed. She watched Kira fall to the ground, her eyes, lifeless and holding none of the spark her wife possessed. Blood was pooling around her, Yumeko off to the side in their kitchen, leaned against the wall and bound, just to witness her wife's murder.
She couldn't take her eyes off the body before her. Off of the arms that held her. Off of the eyes that looked at Yumeko like she was everything. Off of the lips that whispered sweet nothings in her ear and ushered out prophecies of their future, unbeknownst to their untimely parting. Off of the hair Yumeko used to play with unconsciously and when Kira couldn't sleep. Off of the head that held the mind of the woman Yumeko loved most. Off of the hands that held rings of promise and gave them.
The attacker, dressed in all black and a matching black face covering, left. They took the murder weapon with them and ran out the open door that had been picked open. Yumeko was still tied, tears slipping down her face, trying to draw her wife back to the living in vain by calling her name over and over. She got flat on the floor and inched her way towards Kira. No. Kira. You can't die. You can't leave me. You promised.
Yumeko gently laid her head on Kira's chest and her breath caught in her throat. Now she wished for the attacker to come back and kill her. To lay her to rest and be with her wife forevermore. She didn't care if Kira's blood was soaking her clothes through. Yumeko would let it settle and stick to her bones if that's what it took to hear Kira's voice again. To have her arms wrap around Yumeko and tell her everything was okay and everything was going to be. To say 'I love you' just one more time.
Even a simple heartbeat or rise and fall of Kira's chest would do.
The police found her like that. Curled against her dead wife, on her blood, bound and head on Kira's chest. Not sleeping. Barely breathing. Dehydrated and starved. Sick in ways no one could cure.
Yumeko didn't answer to anything. Didn't respond. But she watched. Listened. Heard as she was recommended a mental hospital. Then she startedlaughing. Not like she was amused. No. Yumeko was broken. Deranged really. Seeing Kira's body fall broke something inside her. Yumeko grabbed a nearby scalpel and the man who ripped her away from her Kira.
__________________________
Next thing she knew, Yumeko was transported in a police car with bars on the windows and blocking her from the policeman and woman who pulled her away from the mangled remains of the paramedic who took Yumeko away from Kira. These two, unfortunately, would be next. Yumeko was caked in blood. Her bangs stuck to her forehead and hair stuck to her face. She was giggling to herself and humming a song Kira used to sing when neither of them could sleep and held each other through the night instead.
She was escorted through check-ins and fingerprints and death glares and slipping herself into a jacket meant for someone crazy. Something practically inhuman. As soon as Yumeko found herself locked up behind a cell, she laughed while crying. They let her keep on her wedding ring. Good for them. Yumeko would rather kill everyone who tried to take it from her than take it off.
At some point, Yumeko stopped remembering why she was there, thinking she was going home to her wife soon. Some inmates pitied her. Others feared her. All stayed far away from the woman who laughed and smiled like a woman crazed and hummed songs in Russian.
Days within the prison passed through like seconds. Yumeko bided her time, waiting to see Kira again. Sure, she'd have to wait a few years, but Yumeko would wait more just to see a glimpse her darling wife.
Yumeko was finally free. After two years, let off on good behavior. Idiots. She smiled as she rang for Kira's number, the one person Yumeko trusted to bring her home safe. It went to voice-mail. Strange. Kira never lets my calls go to voice-mail. Perhaps she's busy with work? No. My Kira would wait for me everyday if she had to, even if she wanted me here when we were so much younger. Yumeko did like hearing her wife's voice once more though.
So, Yumeko took a taxi in fresh clothes, her clothes that she wore when she got there, pressed clean like it wasn't drenched in two different people's blood some years ago.
I'm coming home my darling. Coming home. To you, Kira.
Yumeko was coming home to warm hugs, to smiles, to 'i love yous' and 'I missed yous', to kisses peppered along her knuckles, to holding hands and declarations of love through flowers and inbetweens of sentences, to finally holding and being held by someone again, to her Kira.
Once they reached Yumeko's home, she took out a 50 dollar bill and handed it to the woman who drove her. Yumeko stepped inside the house, seeing Kira's car there, and went on the prowl to find and surprise her wife.
"Kira, my love, I'm home!" Yumeko shouted excitedly, not seeing the blood on the kitchen floor yet. She was met with silence, instead of the wife who used to greet her at the door.She looked everywhere. Their bedroom, not there. Only pictures and a clean bed that looked like it wasn't used for a long time. Kira's office, not there. Both bathrooms, heck, even the guest bedroom. Not. There. Yumeko started to panic.
"Kira-san?" A nickname that had gone unused for years.
Yumeko wandered into the kitchen, seeing the blood dried on the floor and dropped to her knees. The realization hit her like a truck.
The door swung open after the power went out. A figure in black came in with a knife. Yumeko was curled against Kira on the couch one moment, then yanked away and tied up leaned against the kitchen wall the next. The figure had held Kira up by her collared shirt. No. Yumeko watched in horror as Kira looked at her one last time and murmured "моя любовь." Then the figure stabbed Kira once. Twice. A third time. Then dropped her.
"No..." Yumeko breathed. Tears spilled down her cheeks. "Kira..." She repeated the name. As if it'd bring her to life again. Yumeko grabbed her phone, watching old videos and looking through pictures she had of Kira.
She heard Kira's funeral was two years ago. Yumeko now visited her grave. She wanted to sink into the earth just to feel close to Kira once more. Yumeko wanted to hold Kira close again, and say the things she never got to even if it was only her bones that would feel it. That would remember the words murmured inbetween sleep and waking. She wanted to listen to everything Kira wanted to say, but didn't. Yumeko always came with white and red roses. A perfect stark contrast, always with a blue rose dead center. The same shade of Kira's lipstick when they were sophomores. Sometimes she'd bury letters in the soil.
Yumeko is now five years older, back in prison. Killed the two police officers who ripped her from Kira. Yumeko leaned her head back on the concrete wall of the cell and hummed the lullaby that hadn't been sung in it's native tongue in a long, long time. Today was supposed to be hers and Kira's anniversary. She looked at the ring Kira placed on her finger all those years ago.
She was done. Worn thin. Tired really. Yumeko had nothing left to live for. So, she grabbed the sharp knife she'd hidden carefully and slit her throat with a smile.
Now she'd be at peace. Now she'd be with Kira again. Kira. The woman she loved most.
Just to know, are you gonna post a chapter two for The Gambit or is it like a one shot kind of thing? Just wanted to know because you put a chapter one and its also really good. If you are gonna upload a chapter two its no rush ofc like take your time i just wanted to know ykwim?
Hi anon! I will be posting chapter 2 of The Gambit soon! Ty all for being so patient and supporting me! Reminder: The Gambit is not my idea, it is @frant1cfawn's! The plot of it is mine though. - val ♡
Like I’ve said my brain can’t focus on one thing I’ve had been trying to figure out who would have what dragon. So after some research I have ideasss
Kira: Stormcutter
“The four-winged Sharp Class flyer can turn its head so far around, it can see behind it. You can never sneak up on a Stormcutter!
Flying on four wings, the Stormcutter carves spirals in the sky and shoots fiery arcs of destruction at its adversaries.” -dragons: rise of Berk
It took me a million years trying to find a dragon that fit Kira. I really wanted to give her a Tidal dragon and found one that seemed to fit (Sea shocker) but they usually only stay in the water. So maybe she likes tidal class dragons and knows she couldn’t have one safely where she is.
I also thought maybe a razor whip but it didn’t feel right either. So I landed on a Stormcutter. It has the size and aura I feel Kira would have in a dragon.
Yumeko: Hobblegrunt
“Hobblegrunts are considered lucky dragons and that they can predict certain things, both good and bad, a split second before they actually happen, and their skin changes color depending on their mood.” -Fishlegs
(This specific dragon in the photo is blind ignore that) Um. It’s called a luck dragon. LUCK dragon. It explains itself. And I like how it changes color on its mood, just feel like it fits Yumeko. I feel like people would think she cheats through the dragon because it can predict the future but it’s Yumeko she would never. Her Hobblegrunt would almost always be purple since that means it’s curious. I feel like her dragon would always be getting into stuff cause it’s curious. Imagine it shoving its head in the dorm window just to see what’s in there. Also it would be SO clingy to Kira’s Stormcutter. Like Kira trying to intimidate Yumeko while this lil bugger is staring up at the Stormcutter like a puppy wanting to play. I just think it’s silly.
Mary: Changewing
“This Mystery Class elusive expert in camouflage can shoot hot corrosive acid that can burn through wood and rock (and Vikings!).
The Changewing distracts opponents at a distance while lobbing balls of acid in their general direction.” -Dragons: rise of Berk
Mary was another harder one to pick a dragon for. At first I had a hideous zippleback, then a snapdragon until I landed on a Changewing. I feel the like with Mary being kinda known for cheating, having a dragon that is very sneaky and can change color and texture fit. I feel she would like have her dragon change the color of its tail or foot for different cards her opponent has.
A big helper was the Changewing lesser known ability of hypnosis. “They can also transmit commands to the hypnotized victim, which he or she will follow unless snapped out of the trance” she 100% used this ability to cheat.
On the nicer side of things. The idea of her having a Changewing and then growing as a person and being her true self aka showing her true colors for the first time is cool.
Changewings are usually in packs but I feel hers was mostly alone and had to fend for its self so Mary feels connected since they both had to fight for what they have.
Riri: Deathgripper
“Deathgrippers are venomous, violent, and vile dragons. Perhaps a real Berkian trainer can bring out their softer side... but for now: avoid at all costs. The monstrous Deathgripper can hack, slash, and bludgeon a foe with lethal force. They should be avoided at all costs... unless they are on your side.” -Dragons: rise of Berk
This one was the dragon that gave me this whole idea. Deathgrippers are just kinda insanely scary and gruesome compared to other dragons. Like their hunting abilities are kinda terrifying?? First they have there venom which the first strike paralyzed and/ or takes over the victims mind, second kills, and third makes the body poisonous?? They will get in a scuffle with their prey and let them go then track their blood until the prey is paralyzed or controls the prey to protect the Deathgrippers territory until it decides to eat it. Also sometimes they’re cannibalistic. These guys are crazy I love them.
Anyway I feel like Riri already being intimidating this horror show of a dragon is the cherry on top. With the venom being able to make the dragon “calm and obedient”. I feel that the council uses that on people and their dragons who are in deep shit, to get them to listen or get them to pay or get their dragon off campus (I will explain this later) or maybe just to intimidate.
Also this is the perfect stealth and aggressive dragon to take care of business that Riri’s father wants her to do. I feel like the dragon itself was a gift from her father, to take care of business, but then Riri bonded with the Deathgripper and they both really understand eachother. Riri seeing the softer side hidden by such a guarded dragon.
Changewings and Deathgrippers are actually kinda similar..both have acid, usually in packs, and a type of hypnosis. Lowkey didn’t plan for this but you know what we love gfs with similar dragons 🫶🫶🫶
Michael: prickleboggle
“Like its icy blast, this serene Dragon remains cool under pressure. So cool, in fact, that a saddle-bag is recommended when riding this Dragon around the islands.
Fighting's not in the Prickleboggle's nature, but protecting others is. Its thick skin keeps this Dragon on the front lines.” -dragons: rise of Berk
I was so close to giving him a Sandwraith based purely on vibes but then decided this fits better. Like Michael stays out if gambles, thus dragon stays out of fights and can actually heal dragons. It’s a calm and sensitive dragon and it really fits Michael to a T.
I feel like he bonded with this dragon and his dad was NOT happy about but thought it could be useful.
Dori: rumblehorn
“The daring Vikings willing to bond with the Rumblehorn, will need to be ready to explore all the corners of the archipelago as this dragon enjoys being led by its nose. Known as the bloodhound of dragons, its keen sense of detecting danger will lead its Viking to countless adventures.” -school of dragons
This one is kinda more on vibes. I just feel like Dori would have a big buff dragon. She most likely wanted one that would entertain her but came across this one and was like ‘wait that things sick af’. She probably is always lounging on it or trying to get it to do something with her. When the council has to fly somewhere Dori’s rumblehorn is the one that carries any extra luggage. And Runa alos rides it which I’ll explain.
Runa: a pack of Hob gobblers
“Hobgobblers will literally eat anything. When they team up in a pack, they can tear through warships, Viking houses, Gobber, and anything else that crosses their path.” -fishlegs
Look at this little guy. It just screams runa. With Runa’s love for candy one probably came up to her, she fed it and went about her day. Then another came..and another..and another. And now she has like 8 that wont leave her alone. When you see one you know you’re screwed if you owe money, cause the others aren’t far behind. They will eat anything so they cause some issues for everyone but with how mischievous these lil guys are Runa still has a good handle on them. They most likely hang around Dori’s rumblehorn annoying it or sleeping half in bags of candy.
Suki: deathsong
“Beautiful as a sunrise and as brutal as a Berserker, the Death Song is a notoriously hypnotic species of dragons. It does not breathe fire, but spits a sticky amber-like substance to trap its victims. We encourage any student confronting this Mystery Class dragon to tread lightly, for the Death Song is as wild as a typhoon!
With their vibrant scales, frills, and enchanting call, it’s easy to become entranced by Death Songs, but beware! Beneath this resplendent exterior lies an invasive and cannibalistic species. They use their song to lure dragons to them, only to trap them in an amber cocoon.” -school of dragons
This dragon just felt like it really fit him. I mean with how beautiful it is and the siren quality. A diva for a diva I suppose. His dragon definitely is craaazy well taken care of. Like doing scale care and getting its claws painted. This is a spoiled dragon and its shows. if it doesn’t like someone or their dragon, it’s not afraid to make that apparent.
Chad: monstrous nightmare
“No dragon is more ferocious, or feared than the Monstrous Nightmare. This gigantic dragon has a long, snake-like neck and tail, and is covered in scales - most often red - and long sharp spines. The Nightmare's gigantic head and mouth can swallow a Viking whole. It is very aggressive and territorial, and will never run from a fight. Its fire is thick and almost liquid, clinging to walls and running down hills like a flaming river. The Nightmare also has a nasty habit of setting itself on fire.” -dragonpedia
This one is more vibes and based how Hookfang is in the movies. Chad sooo wanted a cool dragon to show off and somehow got this guy. Well, more like the dragon got him. They fight alllll the time. If you don’t know where Chad is, just check his dragon’s mouth. The only reason it hasn’t set the school on fire is because Kira’s Stormcutter puts it in its place. No one knows why his dragon even puts up with him, but maybe it’s because it also likes to showboat a bit.
Ryan: Shovelhelm
“Known as "Berk's Builders," Shovelhelms use their scooping chins to dig and their hard heads to hammer, making them very handy to have around!
Shovelhelms prefer to stand back and assess the situation. On Berk they find the problem and fix it. In battle they find the problem and take advantage!” -dragons: rise of Berk
This is another more on vibes. Ryan himself seems to stay back mostly from all the crazy so his dragon would reflect that. This dragon is know for being friendly and helping other dragons. I feel like his dragon does not like to fight at all, like even when they need to it is going the other way. Going as far as not listening to Ryan.
Extra!
On campus they gamble, obviously. Though there is a good amount that involve dragons. There’s dragon racing, where you either are the one racing, or betting on a winner. Also, though less seen, is dragon fighting, again it’s self explanatory. People do this less cause who wants to see their dragon hurt?
There is still a uniform, but like in httyd, everyone has armor that matches their dragon!
Dragons are allowed on campus and even encouraged. It’s a status symbol in a way, since not everyone has a dragon. But with housepets..they’re not allowed to have their dragon on campus. They’re put into stalls off campus and taken care of by staff. So it’s not just losing money a student is worried about, but one of their closest companions.
Also as a housepet, on top of doing laundry for the students and just not being treated great, they’re in charge of taking care of the dragons. Cleaning them, cleaning up after them. Worse part is, these dragons usually don’t know the housepets…and don’t like them. No wonder some housepets seem to go missing.
Anyway that’s it for this brain worm! Send any questions or comments you have. I may draw this at some point idk. This took way too long it’s insane 💀.

Chat, I think the Bet fandom is severely lacking in the Twitter AU/Social Media AU fanfic department, and I think I need to take matters into my own hands (sideyes Bloody Mary, who's staring at me, waiting to be updated)
If you guys ever wondered where half of my au ideas originated from (specifically ghost/ghost hunter au and werewolf Mary)- I got inspired by this crazy with Bloody Mary cause UGHHH THAT FICS SO GOOD.
Ozzy Osbourne’s death is like the death of a crusty white 3 legged no toothed dog in it’s mid 20s. It’s shocking and heartbreaking, but the shock mostly comes from the fact that it lived so long and through so much bodily strain that you kind of subconsciously assumed it was immortal.
i actually need a bet chaotic gc fanfic rn. these are teenagers in 2025 (im assuming) like please. runa and chad being the twins of the friend group/student council (same thing atp) but runa being yumekira's 'kid' and chad being riri and mary's or something. suki is just there to record and start drama in the gc and dori is just randomly choosing people to threaten (?) AND everyone would use brainrot to piss of kira (riri thinks its funny but doesn't contribute since shes so nonchalant (shes so awkward actually)) idec if its like this or not I JUST NEED ONEEE
I can never escape the AU ideas or focus on one thing so.
More ideas I need to see.
There has to be AT LEAST one musical nerd bet fan so this is for whoever that is.
Phantom of the opera.
Riri as the Phantom. Mary as Christine.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
SOMEONE PLEASE IT BASICALLY WRITES ITSELF.
LIKE YOU WANT MEARIRI? ITS THERE. YUMARY?? ALSO THERE (Yumeko would be Raul or however you spell it). ANGST??? LOADS OF IT.
For the rest of the cast idk for sure maybe Christine’s friend can be Ryan. The older lady who like knows about the phantom? Kira maybe? Just not old? Just someone I beg of you.
Another idea I seen some stuff if but I wanna share it again.
Ghost face AU. Kira does the calls. Riri does the killing. I just need those two to get the revenge they deserve. But also like angst if you involve the ships? Chefs kiss. Idk about Yumeko but I feel Mary is a final girl and like imagine her fighting Ghostface (Riri) and taunting and stuff cause it seems they can’t get a hit on her but it’s just cause Riri doesn’t want to hurt Mary. And then Mary actually gets a stab in and goes to pull the mask off and poor Riri is shaking her head ‘no’ and then Mary gets the mask off on it’s just like ‘I just stabbed my gf and she also has killed a good chunk of my friends..but I will be damned if I let her die’. LIKE AGHHHHH. Yumekira would be freaky with it idk. Like it’s the reveal and Kira is like right up against Yumeko’s back, maybe holding a gun or knife, and whispers in her ear “what’s your favorite scary movie, Kawamoto?” (Call back to original call which apparently was Yumeko but survived? ((Fun fact I never actually made it through Scream I was tired so just pretend this works for my sanity)) And Yumeko being Yumeko maybe goes “the one I’m in right now Kira-san”. GUYSSS PLEASEEE
Last one for now.
How to train your dragon.
But not like just following the httyd plot I mean like Bet plot but tweaked and in the httyd universe. I need the council chilling with these sick ass dragons. Imagine the aura farming Kira would do. And like maybe gambles involve the dragons or are just dragon fights??? Idk I just like the idea. I gotta actually do research on what dragon everyone would have but rn my gut is giving Riri a deathgripper. I also thought about the whole car bomb thing? Nah, DRAGON ATTACK. Young Yumeko waving bye to her parents as they ride into a night sky only to see a fireball shot from a dragon to dark to be seen and watching their dragon fall from the sky on fire. This also does mean that with Blake and her father Riri kinda…killed them hands on. Rip Blake but Riri would be so fine while doing that.
Can you tell I have a favorite.
Anyway if you have any questions or wanna write something go ahead I would love to see it!!
Trying to sketch a lil Riri for ghost/ ghost hunter AU based on what @valofhearthouse wrote and my lil idea and I am being faced with the sad reality of why I never make fan art 😭

Everyone knew to a T how bad the fire was in 1975 at St. Dominic's. Yumeko Kawamoto especially. She glanced up at her wall, where various newspaper clippings of pictures of the fire at this very school. It started in the Student Council room, where all of the council members were. It spread to that entire wing, but was thankfully stopped before it could spread any further.
The Student Council wing was renovated, but even after fifty years, Yumeko could still smell smoke lingering in it. And others say more than the smoke lingers. And that was exactly why Yumeko had clawed her way up to Student Council to see if that theory was true.
She stared at the pictures of those who died in the fire, and her eyes lingered on one. Kira Timurova, the Student Council President at the time, who died alongside her sister, Riri Timurova and the rest of the Student Council. Somehow, Kira was important to Yumeko's actual family, the Jabami's. Her grandmother, who Yumeko was named after, was always by the girl's side in photographs.
Kira was an interesting girl, Yumeko had done extensive research to prove as such, as well as the rest, so maybe she'd be able to crack the case on why her grandmother was the one put in jail. Her roommate, Mary, rolled her eyes at Yumeko.
"You actually believe in that stuff?" She held a folded shirt, still unpacking. Mary had been unpacking all morning since it was a Saturday, she finally had time to unpack.
Yumeko turned around to look at her new roommate in disbelief. "You don't?"
"Ghosts aren't real. I mean, we can't see them, or hear them, so why would they be real?"
Yumeko smiled softly. "Weren't you raised Catholic?"
"Yes? What about it?"
"You can't hear or see God, so what makes Him real?"
"Faith, dumb**s."
"And I have faith that ghosts are real."
Yumeko turned back to her board, after seeing Mary slam a drawer open a little too hard. She grabbed her phone. "You just gave me an amazing idea, Mary."
"Which is?"
Yumeko started to text Michael and Ryan.
'Do you guys want to spirit box with me tonight? I'm bringing Mary' - Yumeko
'Yes, let's do it in the Student Council office.' - Michael
'y bring Mary tho? Isn't she a non believer?' - Ryan
'We're going to make her believe, with facts.' - Yumeko
'k' - Ryan
"I'm going to take you spirit boxing with us." She turned back to her skeptical friend.
"Whoa, hold up Yumeko. First of all who's 'us,' second of all, what makes you think I'll go with you?"
Yumeko laughed delightedly. "We're going to make it a bet. I'll wager you ten thousand dollars in chips that ghosts are real. If we don't see or hear anything tonight, that is. And Ryan and Michael will be there too. They don't know about the bet, I swear." She stuck out her right hand. "Bet?"
Mary looked at her friend's hand, mulling it over. "Fine. Bet." She shook Yumeko's hand.
Yumeko laughed again. "This is going to be thrilling."
Yumeko let go of Mary's hand. "I'll wake you up at midnight. Hopefully our dear President won't catch and flay us alive..." Another giggle. "But that makes it more fun!"
Yumeko grabbed her bag. "See you later Mary, I'm going to the library to see what Micheal has for me!"
After Yumeko shut the door, Mary muttered. "Crazy girl. This is about to be the easiest ten thousand dollars I've ever made."
Yumeko walked down the halls, carefully compiling all the information she knew so far.
The original Yumeko Jabami was on Student Council and by Kira's side in every official picture Yumeko had access to containing the Student Council of that year.
Original Yumeko wasn't there at the time of the fire. That made her the most likely suspect in the investigation, since she was the sole survivor of the Student Council.
The housepets weren't present either, but they were less likely suspects considering how frail they were.
All of the Student Council members had traces of blood on them, as well as stab wounds.
The burns came after the stab wounds, but they didn't die from them.
That meant someone threw their bodies in the room before setting the place ablaze.
Kira's sister Riri had the most, possibly because she tried to stop their killer from harming Kira. Riri also had a blunt hit to the head. They all had their vocal cords severed.
Their killer, their true killer was never found.
Yumeko neared the doors of the library when she felt a chill. Yumeko felt a hand caress her cheek and brush away a strand of hair for a brief moment, then it was gone. She could have sworn she smelled a whiff of smoke. The touch felt comforting, like something that had happened a million times before.
She walked in the library, which was as quiet as an abandoned cathedral. Yumeko walked towards the back, seeing the usual sight whenever she met Michael in here: books stacked up around the chair, several empty cups of coffee, and the boy himself, with eyebags that could have held actual gold in them. "Hey Michael, what have you got for me?"
Micheal and Ryan both stared at her. She hadn't seen Ryan due to the amount of stacked books around. Yumeko jumped slightly. "Hi Ryan."
"Hey. We found something. Looks like your guy really did know what he was talking about, Micheal."
"Yeah... so my guy helped us clear the camera footage before the fire, and this is what it uncovered."
A figure in a dark hoodie, dragged Kira by the legs, blood trailing across the floor. Several others followed suit, dragging the other council members with them. They all had housepet tags dangling from their necks.
"So it was housepets." Yumeko breathed softly.
"That shortens out search to about 70 students."
"Right. It sucks that they were alive after their vocal cords got severed though, then being dragged across the floor into a fire? I see why Obaachan always shed a tear when lighting the stove."
Ryan looked at her and patted her shoulder sympathetically.
"It's fine, we'll finally get to know who their killer was when we spirit box tonight."
Yumeko mentally wrote down the new information.
"Do you think they'll tell us?" Micheal asked. Always pessimistic.
"They'll tell us if they want their souls to finally rest. They'll tell us if they want their real killer to face justice." Yumeko smiled. She grabbed her bag and turned around to leave. "See you guys tonight." Then she left with a giggle.
Yumeko walked back towards her room, feeling it get colder and colder as she neared it. Yumeko wished she brought her ghost hunting gear. She went inside, the door slamming shut behind her.
Yumeko shivered, a mix of the sheer cold in her room and the thrill of being haunted being the cause. She glanced around her room. Nothing was out of place. She smiled and dropped her bag, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching. Waiting. Listening.
Yumeko watched the photo of her grandmother and Kira lift up and face away from her. She watched the photo drift lazily towards the chair and saw whatever was holding it look closer.
"You're... the spitting image... of her..." The voice. It was faint, eerie, and Yumeko could barely hear it. But that. That was definitely the voice of Kira Timurova.
YESSS YES YES!!! I CANT BELIEVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY WROTE SOMETHING BASED OFF NY IDEA. THIS IS AMAZING AND EXACTLY WHAT IMAGINED AND HOLY CRAP YOUR WRITINGGGG. EVERYONE GO READ THIS RIGHT NOW.
