Mai had no idea where she was going. All she knew was that she wanted to get as far away as she could from the kitchen. As she ran she started to get a pain in her side so she slowed down and stopped trying to gather her breath. Something inside her wanted to hide the fact that she had gotten in the game, and something wanted her to tell. She looked to see Konta holding herself up by her knees. Her breathing was worse then Mai's but she didn't care.

"Why-did-you-stop?" she asked in between pants.

"I-don't-think-we-should-tell-anyone-about-this-yet" Mai said. She started to regain her breath.

"What why?" Konta asked standing up straight. Mai thought for a moment. Why don't I want to tell Naru? I kind of promised him I would if something like this happened, but then again I didn't. I promised that I wouldn't leave Konta's side and so far I haven't broken that promise yet, so why worry Naru yet. It's not exactly like he cares. Just as long as he solves the case why would he?

"What do we gain from telling them?" Mai asked. Konta just looked at her confused. "If we tell them they will lock us up in a room and never leave us alone. They would pressure themselves to solve this case faster. They will never take their eyes off of us, not even for a second. Not to mention if they did any of that we already be breaking one of the rules."

"What the hell did you just get us into?" Konta asked looking slightly pissed. Mai grabbed Konta arm and dragged her into the nearest room which, luckily, was Konta's. She sat her on the bed and explained the whole dream, even the part of Naru. For some reason Mai had this feeling that she had to tell Konta everything. No matter how embarrassing it was to talk about.

When Mai had finished Konta looked at her like she was insane but promised not to say anything about tonight. She even said she could try to protect her but she wasn't making any promises. The only problem that Konta was worried about was the fact that she and Naru weren't on good terms and when Mai asked why she ignored her.

Eventually they both fell asleep on Konta's bed and didn't wake up until they heard worried voices and foot steps running down the hall. The door was thrown open causing Konta and Mai to jump. Konta had her back to Mai's as Mai looked at the two men at the door.

"Mai where the hell have you been? We have been looking everywhere for you!" Bou-san said before walked over and pulling her into a huge. When he let her go he finally notices Konta looking up at him with an annoyed look on her face. "Why are you wearing a scarf?" he asked as he notice the scarf placed around Konta's neck.

There was only one answer she could come up with. "Why aren't you." She said as she grabbed Mai's hand and dragged her out of the room. "We'll be down for breakfast in a few minutes." She yelled as she walked away.

Mai didn't question Konta's scarf. She knew exactly why she had it. She just hoped she didn't wear it all day. Konta pulled her into a room and shut the door.

"What are you-" Konta waved at her to shut up, after a minute Mai heard why. Bou-san and John's footsteps and voice could be heard. Soon they passed and Konta motioned her to follow her. "Konta, how are you going to cover up your bruise? It's practically impossible."

"Have you ever heard of a turtle neck?" she said as she opened the door to her room. Mai just stood there. "Are you coming in or what?"

"But I have to get my clothes." Mai said pointing down the hall.

"Great idea, walk down the hall and into the base where Naru and Lin are. Then you can explain your bruise and everything." She said sarcastically. Mai frowned at her. "Don't worry we should be the same size you can just borrow something of mine."

Ten minutes later Konta and Mai are on their way to breakfast. As they walked in everyone turned to them. John and Bou-san were sitting across from Naru looking scared out of their minds. Naru must still be mad about last night. Konta really shouldn't have done that, even though he dissevered it.

Mai took her seat next to Naru as Konta went as far away from him as possible. Mai figured Konta knew what he was mad about and didn't want to go near him. They ate in silence for a few moments. Naru was the first to speak.

"So Mai where were you this morning."

"What do you mean?" she asked as she took some toast

"You weren't in base this morning." He said not looking at her. Mai continued to butter her toast "Oh" was all she could say. "And is that a new shirt?"

"So Naru how was your walk last night?" Konta said trying to change the subject. Naru shot her a nasty look which to Mai surprise made her smile. The next second Lin came running in.

"Naru, I was reviewing the tapes from last night and I think you should see this." Naru followed Lin out the door followed by John and Bou-san. Mai turned to Konta. She had the same look on her face.

"We forgot about the cameras!" Mai said . Both her and Konta got up and ran after them. As the ran into base they saw that they had already started. The both ran over and looked at the monitors. There sat Konta and Mai eating the sandwiches they had made. Then Konta asked about the time and which Mai gave to her. Then they started to argue about the day and times being mixed up.

Mai knew what was coming next. The temperature would drop and Naru would see the ghost. Most important he'll know about the game Mai and Konta were playing.

"But today is Monday the fourth." Mai saw herself say. "Konta" she said only seconds later. Instead of Konta looking up at her Mai saw Konta's head turn to the camera. Then there was only static. Everyone stared at Konta who was staring at the screen with an opened mouth.

"There's more." Said Lin as he started to type.

"For your sake there better not." Naru said coldly to Konta before turning back to the monitors. Lin pointed to monitors seven, eight, ten and thirteen. Mai watched in horror as she ran down the hall with Konta following close behind her. Once they were out of camera view the camera failed and turned to static. Everyone, including Mai looked at Konta who was staring at the screen hoping that this was a dream.

"What did you do!" he said advancing on Konta who backed up like a scared five year old. Mai couldn't blame her. Naru's voice was so harsh and cold that a grown man would cower.

"I-I have-"

"DON'T LIE! WE HAVE YOU ON CAMERA! WHY WERE YOU CHASIN MAI! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER IN THE KITCHEN! WHY DID OUR CAMERA'S FAILED WHEN YOU LOOKED OR PASSED THEM!" Naru yelled at her. Mai was scared out of her mind and she wasn't the one being yelled at. Konta looked petrified but she stood her ground.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She said. All of a sudden the house started to shake as though an earthquake was about to happen. She walked towards Naru and he started to back away. "All I know is that what you saw on those cameras are a lie!" she said. Mai backed in fear as she saw the look in Konta's eyes.

The house stopped shaking and Naru said only two words to her. "Get out." Konta stared at him debating if she should go, but thought better of it and left, slamming the door behind her. Mai was in shock. This can't be happening. My only hope is walking away, my only hope is leaving. Leaving! Konta can't leave the house or she'll die! I have to tell her.

Mai took two steps when hands blocked her pathway. Naru wasn't even looking at her. "You're to stay here in base. If you take in one step out of this room I will personally drag you back to your house and lock you up there. Do you understand?" Mai stared at him. All of this anger started to form. Her breathing picked up as she tried not to punch him. How could he do this? "I said do you understand me?" This time he turned to look her in the eyes.

"I understand." She pushed his arm out of the way and headed for the door.

"Mai did you hear me!"Naru called after her as he realized what she was doing. Mai turned around and started to yell at him "YES NARU I HEARD YOU PERFECTLY! BUT JUST BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAID DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU!" Mai threw the door open and before she slammed it she turned back to him and screamed "AND BY THE WAY THOSE TAPES ARE LYING!" Mai slammed the door shut and ran to find Konta before she could leave.

Naru stood there stunned. He had never heard Mai scream at him like that. Why would she do that? I was doing this to protect her and all she does is ignore me and does what she wants. I don't care if Konta was or wasn't chasing her. It was the first video that concerned me. Konta had knocked out the camera just by looking at it. Why can't Mai see that Konta isn't what she says she is! First strange lights and now this? What does Mia see in her? Could Konta have possess Mai into believing her? Is she turning Mai against us?

"What should we do Shibuya-san?" asked John. Naru thought for a moment. "Search the house. Get Mai back here and tie her down then perform an exorcism. Also make sure Konta is out of the house and that she doesn't come back."
