Rin was walking down the hallway with Nico and Maki. Nico was scared and the only thing that she was ever scared of was Nozomi because of her breast grabbing technique. Rin was scared as well, she was even more scared than Nico. Nico took the lead and lead her junior down the haunted hallways of the school.

"Nico, do you think the others are okay?" Rin asked

"I'm sure they're fine, these are our friends after all. There's no way they'll give in to anything that is in this place" Nico said

"I hope you're right" Rin said

"Of course I'm right, I'm always right" Nico said with pride

"I don't think so" Rin said

"What? How could you turn me down so easily?" Nico asked

"Doesn't Maki always shoot you down?" Rin asked

"Well, she's just a bully!" Nico said

"I'm not a bully, I'm just stating the truth" Maki said

Rin chuckled at Nico and Maki as they argued. She was glad to be with Nico since she really needed someone to lighten the mood. They heard some giggling coming from a nearby room. Nico and Rin stopped moving and froze. They were terrified because of the random giggles that were coming from the room that they were close to. They turned to the room and saw that it was an infirmary. Both of them looked at each other and nodded. They decided to take a peek inside the room, hopefully this decision wouldn't be something that they would regret doing.

They peeked inside and saw two children they had a light blue aura glowing all over their bodies. From their appearances they could only assume that they were elementary school students. But what really disturbed them was that they were missing some parts of their bodies. The smaller looking ghost was missing half of her head while the other girl was missing an eye. Nico and Rin were about to leave but they saw that there was a third person in the room. When they took a closer look they saw that it was Hanayo. They saw Hanayo talking to the ghosts. Rin ran into the room and called out to Hanayo.

"Hanayo!" Rin yelled

Hanayo looked over and saw Nico, Rin and Maki.

"Rin, Nico, Maki! I'm glad you're all safe" Hanayo said

"Hanayo get away from those ghosts they're dangerous!" Nico yelled

"Dangerous? How are they dangerous?" Hanayo asked

"This place is full of evil spirits, you can't trust any spirits in this place" Maki said

"Hanayo, please get away from them!" Rin begged

"All of you are overreacting, these are nice ghosts and I feel sorry for them after I discovered what happened to them. Please read this and you'll see what I mean" Hanayo said

Hanayo gave them a newspaper clipping. The three girls looked at the paper and read what was on the paper. The newspaper was explaining that there were four children who were kidnapped and went missing. It explained that they were killed. The four children that were kidnapped had their tongues removed. One student had half of her cranial removed. Another student had her eye gouged out. The three girls were speechless when they heard what these kids went through. Now they were wondering, what kind of sick, twisted and sadistic person would do such a horrible thing to four innocent children?

"These kids aren't bad at all. I can't just leave them alone, so I'm gonna stay here with them" Hanayo said

"Are you out of your mind?! You're just gonna abandon us like that?! You're going to abandon Muse just because you feel bad for some dead kids?!" Nico asked

"What Nico is trying to say is that staying with these ghosts might not be a good idea" Rin said

The spirit decided that they've heard enough and lifted Hanayo up in the air. Hanayo was now unconscious.

"Hanayo!" Rin yelled

Rin ran towards Hanayo and tried to grab her but an invisible strong force pushed her back.

"What was that?" Rin asked

Rin tried again but she was pushed back by the invisible force again.

"Something's in the way" Rin said

"It must be those ghosts, they're trying to stop us from rescuing Hanayo" Maki said

"Rin come back outside and help us think of a way to get past them" Nico said

"No! I can't just leave Hanayo alone with these ghosts" Rin said

Nico was about to retort but Maki stopped her.

"If that's how you feel then we won't force you to leave, you can keep an eye on the ghosts and Hanayo make sure you don't do anything to anger them" Maki said

Rin nodded as Maki dragged Nico outside the room and when she finally let her go Nico gave her a mad and questioning look.

"What on earth are you thinking?!" Nico asked

"Look, if Rin can keep an eye on the ghosts than she can keep Hanayo safe from being killed" Maki said

The two girls were approached by a girl with short hair and glasses. The girl introduced herself as Naho, a girl who died in the school a long time ago. Naho tried to put the girls at ease by telling them that she wasn't a violent spirit like the other ghosts in Heavenly Host. Maki seemed to relax but Nico was still suspicious. She didn't know what it was about Naho but there was something off about this Naho girl. She didn't know what it was but she didn't like it.

Naho explained what happened to her and what Heavenly Host really is. She also said that the only way to get rid of the ghost is to make their killer repent for the crimes that he committed. Nico and Maki looked around and found the body of a doll and after moving around a while longer they found the head of the doll. When they put the doll together the doll started to speak which freaked them out but they decided to hear what the doll was saying. Maki was about throw the doll but Nico said that they could use this as repentance.

When the girls came back they saw the ghosts had moved and they saw that Rin was still there watching them. They brought up the doll and made them listen to the doll.

"You don't have to suffer anymore. So please let go of Hanayo" Maki said

"If you stop now then no one else will have to die in this awful place" Nico said

"Please let Hanayo go" Rin said

The ghosts stood still for a moment but then they took Hanayo and busted down the door. The three girls went out in the hallway and saw the spirits hurl Hanayo with their superhuman strength. They saw that Hanayo was headed towards the wall and they knew that if she impacted in the wall then she would die.

"HANAYO!" Rin shouted

Rin started to run and she ran as fast as she could so she could catch up to her best friend before she hits the wall. Rin managed to catch up to Hanayo just in time and managed to grab her arm and yank her back. The unconscious Hanayo was now laying on top of Rin. Hanayo woke up and saw that she was laying on top of Rin. She blushed and quickly got off of Rin.

"Rin! I'm so sorry" Hanayo said

"Don't worry Hanayo as long as you're okay" Rin said

Rin had tears running down her face. She was happy that she was able to save Hanayo just in time. Nico and Maki gave a huge sigh of relief. They were so happy that Rin was able to save Hanayo from dying.

"That was close" Maki said

"Jeez, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack" Nico said

Both girls went over to Hanayo to make sure that she wasn't hurt anywhere. They saw that Hanayo was just fine. Nico got up and turned around to make sure that those spirits from before aren't coming after them. She didn't see them anywhere much to her relief but just as she was about to turn back to her friends she saw a large figure approaching them. Nico saw that it was large man with blood red eyes. She paled when she saw what the man was carrying. He was carrying a large sledgehammer and Nico had a feeling that it was going to be used on them if they didn't start running. Nico turned back to her friends and warned them about the figure that was coming towards them.

"Girls, I think it's about time we get up and start running right now" Nico said

The other girls looked at Nico with confused looks on their faces.

"Why?" Hanayo asked

"Because of that" Nico said

Nico pointed down the hallway where the large man was at. The other girls looked down and saw the man with the sledgehammer. They paled because they had a feeling that this man was going to kill them if he caught them.

"I think we should start moving now" Hanayo said

"Good idea" Maki said

The girls started to run. The huge man gave out a huge roar and started to chase after them. The chase went on for a while. Rin was looking around to see if there was any place that they could hide. She eventually saw a bathroom.

"Quick, everyone in the bathroom!" Rin yelled

The girls went into the bathroom and opened the first stall door. All of them squeezed inside the door and closed it. They locked the door just in case the door would try to open on its own. They heard footsteps near the restroom. Rin made a scared yelp noise but Nico put her hand over mouth to stop her from making any more noise. Rin was still making some scared noises but it came out as muffles because of the hand that was over her mouth.

"Shut up! Do you want us to be discovered?!" Nico whispered

Rin was able to stop herself from making any more noise. The footsteps entered the bathroom, they knew that the monster was now in the bathroom looking for them. They heard him walking around a little bit. The girls were standing on the toilet so he wouldn't see their feet. The monster tried to open their door but it was locked. After a few attempts he gave up and walked out of the bathroom. The girls stayed inside the stall a bit longer just in case he came back. When he didn't come back the girls assumed that they were safe so they came out of the stall. And released the sighs that they've been holding in.

"That was close" Hanayo said

"If Nico hadn't spotted him then we would've been dead" Rin said

"You saved us Nico, thank you" Maki said

"Of course I did" Nico said

"Don't let that get to your head" Maki said

The girls decided that it was time for them to press on and look for the others.
