Mai Taniyama sighed as she finished setting up a camera in the room furthest from SPR's new base. They'd been setting up over the past two hours now, and Mai was already exhausted. The owners of the estate had arrived at the office of SPR, pleading them to take the case. They were a middle-aged, newly-wed couple who had recently bought the property. Both claimed of hearing children laughing, yet they were childless. In addition, they claim to have seen an evil man appear before them, brandishing an axe. Naru didn't appear too enthused until they mentioned that the lights would flicker as they heard loud banging noises. Mai was fairly freaked out by this but at least she wouldn't miss out on anymore school, that's a benefit. Having to leave on the weekend was great, for she desperately needs to attend her classes, unless she wants to be stupid, as Naru would say. Mai brushed the egotistic man out of her head as she explored her surroundings while having a rest for a minute. The room didn't contain much furniture, just a simple bed and bedside table. The room itself was nice, not extremely modern, it had a vintage feel to it; one side of the room was all mostly window, with an antique-looking curtain at its crown, which could be pulled down by a string. As she admired the window and the landscape beyond it, something caught her eye. She squinted to see what it was, as dusk had just passed and it was beginning to become quite dark outside. Once she realised what it was that she could see, she outside to where the window faced. Once she stepped outside she looked again for the figure, and there it was. She could see a shadowy outline of a man in the distant tree-line. The tree-line delved further into a forest area, in which the man began to walk into. Mai quickly rushed after him, walking as fast as she could, as to not lose sight of him. Although knowing she shouldn't leave alone, it felt as if she were being led there by something. Her body moved on instinct, as if she were in a daze. As she reached the tree-line she walked further into the darkness and the depths of the forest.
Masako held her sleeve in front of her mouth as she mentioned to the group that she could sense spirits in the estate. Ayako rubbed her back to calm her, and the distress slightly eased from her face.
"Hey, has anyone seen Mai lately?" Monk questioned the group who all glanced at one another, expecting a response to the question.
After a few seconds silence Naru spoke up," So no one has seen her in the past half hour? Was she with any of you?" he looked to and fro, demanding a response with his cold eyes. The group remained silent.
"I sent her to set up a camera in the third bedroom on this floor. Lin, check the cameras", he demanded hastily. Once they had witnessed Mai quitting the house through the back door, and walk straight out of the cameras shot range, toward the forest, Naru stated he would go search and that the rest of the group should start cleansing the house.
"I will go with you" Lin proclaimed as he gave Naru a stern, knowing stare. Naru made no objections and they set off with flashlights toward the forest. The rest of the group, Masako, Ayako, Monk and John consulted with one another on how they wold go about performing their rituals. It was decided that Ayako would go with Masako, and Monk with John, so that they could take breaks. Ayako was sure that the girls needed to get away from the bafoon known as Takigawa.
John had been reciting his prayer for a short while now and Monk was finding it hard to keep himself enthused in their task. That was, however, until the large wooden bookshelf that stood directly behind where John was performing his blessing, started to fall straight towards John. Alerted by the creaking of the bookshelf's movement, Monk raced toward John, pushing him with all his might as he jumped toward him. They both landed only half a metre away from where the bookshelf had crashed to the floor. With a sigh of relief they glanced at each other with wide eyes, as John thanked Monk for the rescue.
"I wonder if anything like this has happened to the girls" Monk proposed.
"We should find out" John returned.
Masako stood near the corner of the bedroom they had started on while she listened to Ayako, "I ask that my humble plea may be heard".
She found it difficult to fathom how such nonsense could help. Ayako never helped with anything on their cases. Masako questioned why she even bothered coming. As Masako was contemplating this she suddenly felt a hand grab her leg. She was then yanked to the floor, hitting hard. With no time at all to think or feel the pain she as dragged at an incredible speed across the room, screaming as she tried to stop herself from moving.
"Masako!", Ayako shouted as soon as she saw her being dragged by thin air and heard her screaming. She ran to grab her hand, but Masako was being dragged way too fast. As she reached out to Masako the door to the room slammed shut as soon as Masako had been dragged outside the room. Just as the door slammed closed Masako's screaming abruptly stopped at exactly the same time. All was silent, until Ayako quickly broke it with her shouting of Masako's name.
"Masako!"
