PROLOUGE

After retrieving her Camera Obscura, and put an end to Chitose's crying, Mio finally get to reunite with her sister..

"Mio... Mio... I don't know... ...what's happening to me... But, no matter what happens, I'll forgive you...

"Mayu..".

"Don't leave me..."

"Of course, I won't leave you behind! I kept looking for you! Now, let's get out of here..."

Mayu leaned on her sister's shoulder and they went out.

On the roof of the Tachibana house, a priest was watching them. He rose his arm, getting ready for attack on the weakened Mayu. But..

"Hey, look at this!" mayu pointed toward a little scroll lying beneath the staircase.

Mio opened it up and they both try to read it..

"Its.. in English!! I can't read this!!!" mio almost ripped it in frustration, butt then Mayu put her hand on her shoulder.

"that's ok, I can read some of it.. it says something about martial art's tournament with kittens and marshmallows."

"you don't get any of it either do you?"

"I-I-I just wanted to make you feel better. That's the least I can do here.."

"oh Mayu.."

They hugged, and then went on..

The priest above them glared at the scroll with awe. Behind him, Sae appeared and he was shocked.

"Prepare the countermeasures. its…happening.." her insane smile was absent.

Meanwhile.. in the entrance to the village, uncle Kei Amakura rush with a smile.

"I did it! I'm gonna be the 1st male hero in fatal frame! Just you wait Mio and Mayu, I'll save you!!" he ran down the hill, and tripped over a rock..

Chapter 1: secret darkness

Our heroines walked toward the big tree. But then Mio stopped.

"Mio, what's wrong? Lets get outta here!"

"I.. I just want to say goodbye to some guy, in case the passage will open.."

"some.. guy?" Mayu was shocked, "and you didn't tell me about him?!"

"umm.. well.." she blushed, and took her sister to see Itsuki.

"Yae.. the ceremony.."

"Stop with this Yae stuff already!.. Itsuki, I want you to meet my sister.."

"huh?"

Mio turned her face and saw Mayu hide and blushing.

A tear came out on Itsuki's forehead

"Sae? Why are you.." Itsuki try to reach her but then her eyes change.

"Don't come near me! I wanna get out of here!"

"Mayu? Are you nuts? He's helping us. and he's a hunk!"

"I don't care.. there's. there's..."

Itsuki then walk back and look at the scroll that Mio found.

"Hey that scroll.. it looks familiar."

"really? We can't read it. maybe you can figure it out".

She handed the scroll to him, and they hands met.

"umm.." the said together.

"I want to believe that he really cares for me.." Mio thought to herself while she looked at Itsuki reading the scroll, "..but, for him, only Yae exist.. isn't it?"

Itsuki's face went serious all of a sudden.

"what's it saying?" Mio got worried

"Its…Its.."

Even Mayu showed herself to listen..

"Its..Its in English!"

The twins had fallen on their head..

"Tell us something we don't know!"

"well, it looks different from other scrolls. Also, The painting there looks just like the one on this floor."

"Lemme see!" Mio jumped and asked Mayu to give her a magnifying glass. The painting was blurry but clear enough to understand.

It looked like a big old tree.. with a hole in the middle, just big enough to hold the scroll.

"worth a shot.." Mio put the scroll inside and suddenly the ground shook…

On the well In the Kurosawa Basement , a ladder appeared, leading to a chamber. Kei just happened to pass by.

"Hey..If I get down there I find the camera right? and then I'm gonna kick ghosts ass right?! Awesome!!"

He went down the well and found himself in a tight corridor.

"its so..dark.." he used his flashlight, only to find walls washed with blood.

"freaky.."

He walked straight into a great cave hall. Demon tags, filthy with old stains of blood, were scattered all over. The rocks and boulders were painted in black and only a few candles made the place visible.

In the middle of the cave rested a coffin covered with all sorts of herbs.

"wha-- these are used in ancient sleeping medicines. why would they put that on a grave?"

A crack sound was heard.

"unless.." he's face turned white.

The coffin had begun to move, and a creepy sound came behind him. He turned around to look but it was too late…

"Itsuki, what just happened"? Mio was puzzled.

"A ladder..Kurosawa..Well.."

"why are you mumbling?"

"I—I had a flashback. It's as if I remembered something I want to forget."

"what do you see?"

"It's.. my grandpa..he's..dead.." he lowered his head..

"What happened to him?"

"He—" Istuki's eyes looked so sad.

"Tell me..you can trust me too you know.."

"Its non of your on concern now Yae! Help Sae and leave this viilage!" he lowered his head as he shouted that.

Mayu looked at her shocked sister.

"I'm.. not your coward Yae..!" a tear came down her cheek "Its Mio! Amakura Mio!"

She held Mayu's hand and turned to the door.

"and I'll never leave my sister behind.."

SLAM

The door was shut on Itsuki's face.

"Itsuki no baka.." Mio cried on Mayu's shoulder.

"Mio.. don't cry.." she actually felt good, being the supporting one for a change. "there's a cheese cake on the saving point. It'll make you feel better. The milk is so old it tastes like chocolate."

"mm..yeah.. but we better hurry down the Kurosawa house. He said something about it.."

So they went there, and came down to the same bloody corridor. Mio walked first..Mayu clanged to her hand.

"Mayu, do I look like Chihiro's mother to you?"

"sorry, its so scary..I can feel something unusual here."

"Hey! There's a notebook here! Perhaps this will help us?"

end of diary

"Mio, Is that who I think it is?"

"No doubt, uncle Kei had been here here, but when?"

flash

A ghost appeared before them, warning them: "get out!"

Mayu screamed and held Mio's hand tighter, sharing her vision with her: young girl in kimono was sitting in cell, crying out loud. The guardians hit her with a hard stick .

"silence! Don't disturb the ritual!" the priest shouted, but she kept screaming and they kept hitting there.

"stop it!!" a little boy was crying to them, "why can't you just hold her mouth with something?!"

"one must not touch a living being before the ritual.. no contact at all!" the priests hit the little boy away with a stick, chasing him out.

The girl stopped crying.. and an evil smile was put on her face..

At that the vision ended.

"that little boy. didn't he look just like Itsuki?" Mio realized it..

"GET OUT NOW!!" the ghost priest raged and tried to hit them, but Mio sprang into action.

SNAP

"wow you're really quick sis"

"gee thanks. Lets go on before he bugs us again."

But she couldn't be more wrong.

when they arrived at the great hall, not less then one hundred priest stood in a circle. In the middle, next to the coffin, a priest with a hole in his stomach was holding something.. and Kei was lying to his feet!(If he had feet).

"Kei!" they both gasped.

The stomachless priest held his wand high, and ordered a massive attack.

All the priests together came at Mio at the same time.

"Mayu, try to hold some of them up!"

"ah?! How!"

"figure it out! I have to concentrate!" Mio took fatal frames one after another, almost finishing all her film. Mayu ran in the hall, escaping the ghosts and luring their attacks.

"Good job Mayu! I didn't know you were in such a good shape!"

"IM RUNNING BECAUSE I'M SCARED!!!!" she screamed in her most squinty voice ever.

The ghost falled one after another, and Mio could now run through the hall and shoot them in all directions.

The atmosphere was full of their screams. Finally, it was over.. but she had only one more shot left..

"Kei.." Mayu walked to her sleeping uncle. Somehow he survived.

"Mayu..are you all right?"

"yes.. are you?!"

"I.. I must have a cheeseburger before I drop dead.."

"He's all right!" Mayu smiled to Mio, But Mio's face were horrified.

"What..?"

The stomachless priest appeared again and held Mayu's arm.

"Leave her!" Mio found his fatal frame and shot him with a crush lens, but it didn't work! The whole in the stomach moved to the vital spot and negate the attack!

"Say your farewell" Stomachless prepared his wand..

But.. in that last picture Mio took she saw something weird.. the coffin behind the ghost was open...
