I have NO idea why, but i just keep right on typing for this fic!

Well, whatever.

Enjoy!

Naruto was the first to wake up, and noticed there was someone totally different with them. Luna blinked her eyes open and felt her tattoo appear.

She heard the heavy breathing that always came with Blue Bitch's presence, and bit back a gasp as she realized Blue Bitch was, in fact, walking right past her.

Across from her, Naruto and...some guy...were crouching behind furniture.

Once she was finally gone, Luna stood and winced as the tattoo continued to move in place.

The guy watched it with wide eyes and strode over to her. "I'll be damned. The tattoo..."

"Who're you?"

"Kei Amakura. And you?" He asked as he inspected the tattoo. "Luna. That's Naruto."

Naruto's temple throbbed as Kei ran his hand along her shoulder to see if there was any reaction from the tattoo. "Is that really necessary?" He asked dully.

Luna shot Naruto a glare, and Kei removed his hand. "Sorry. I've never seen it in person before. I can't see it as well on myself."

"Oh, you were totally fine," she replied pleasantly.

"Pervert," Naruto muttered, making Luna stomp on his foot. Again.

"DAMMIT, I wanna be able to USE my foot by the time this whole thing's over!"

"Then stop being an idiot. You'll live, Naruto."

They all stiffened as the Blue Bitch's presence returned, and poked their heads out of the doorway.

They didn't see her, but Luna sensed her and ran to the right. "She's to the left. I don't know about you two, but I really don't feel like getting touched again tonight."

There was a double-door closet to her NEXT right, so she walked over to it. She tried a couple times to open the door, but due to her finger, it was a bit difficult.

"Here, I'll help you," Kei said, gripping the handle and opening it. His hand had grazed hers for a prolonged time (to NARUTO it was prolonged), and he huffed.

"Whatever happened to not wanting to get touched again tonight, huh?"

She glared at him. "By the Blue Bitch, Naruto. Chill out, would ya? Oooh, shiny," she declared as she picked up some meds.

They turned, and saw a white skirt and leggings down the hall, going up some stairs. Kei stiffened.

"Ah! Mio!"

Mio didn't seem to hear him. "I'm sorry...so sorry..." She was whispering.

They followed Kei, who ran as quickly as possible towards the stairs. At the top was a door, and around it were...

"Crimson butterflies," Luna muttered.

Kei peered down at the lock, and sighed. "Crap. A Butterfly Key."

Luna sighed as well. "Looks like we have another lead."

She ran back to where the storage closet was, and went through the door to the right.

Naruto randomly popped up beside her, and she spazzed out, nearly punching him. Luckily, she stopped at the last second, and she glared at him.

"...Dumbass."

He shrugged, then looked around cautiously. "Alright, Loon, we need to be careful. Shit be going down in here, I can feel it."

She sweatdropped. "My name is Luna."

"I know that."

"Then what the hell did you just call me?"

"It takes less time to say."

"Chyeah, one whole syllable! Honestly, sometimes I just do not understand your logic.." She muttered as she looked around.

The room was littered with large kimonos on racks; they looked to be pinned there for viewing purposes.

Against the opposite wall, on the furthest side of the room, was a shattered mirror and a reed screen for privacy.

There was also a lantern behind the screen, as well as cushions and...

Luna walked over and picked it up. "A diary?"

She turned a page and read it out loud.

"How many days has it been? How many months. How many years?

Many outsiders have been brought here. But none of them are like him. He said my hair was beautiful, but no matter how much I arrange it, he'll probably never know how I feel."

"Hmmm, maybe this is Miku's diary. She must be talking about me," Naruto said thoughtfully. Luna's temple throbbed, and Kei cocked his head.

"Miku...Mafuyu's little sister?"

"Whatever happened to Mafuyu?" Luna asked. He shook his head sadly. "No one knows. He disappeared; he was looking for Junsei Takamine."

"The folklorist," she muttered thoughtfully.

"You know him?"

"I've heard about him. Both from the Agency, and from your letters."

"How did you get a hold of my letters?"

"I'm currently staying with Rei Kurosawa and Miku Hinasaki."

"WE are currently staying with them," Naruto added, earning a sweatdrop from Luna.

"...Yeah, we. Anyway. I've read some of his stuff."

Kei grinned. "Folklore is more Mafuyu's and Yuu's thing, but it's still interesting."

She nodded with a similar grin. "I agree."

Naruto's temple throbbed. "Can we PLEASE just get on with the diary entry?"

They abruptly broke eye contact, and Luna nodded. "Right. All I can do is comb my hair and wait for him.

That way when he comes back with his camera, he'll take my picture again."

She closed the diary and looked at Naruto. "Yeah, something tells me this wasn't Miku's writing."

He huffed. "A guy can dream."

She shook her head with amusement and crouched to look at the mirror stand; the mirror itself was shattered into tiny pieces.

"Wow. Whoever looked in that did NOT like what they saw.."

Naruto pointed to the wall behind the mirror stand. "Is that...what I think it is?"

Kei peered up at it. "...Hair. Human hair."

Luna hopped up. "Okay, my theory. The man this woman liked so much never came back, she went crazy, shattered the mirror, ripped out her hair and pinned it to the wall."

Naruto nodded. "From here on out, we shall call this woman Britney."

The other two turned to look at him. "WHY?" They said in unison.

"Because Britney Spears shaved her head and all," he said as if it were obvious.

Luna just shook her head and headed for yet another midget door to the far right of where they were currently standing. "Whatever you say, Naruto."

The midget door led them to a rather wide beam, and they walked across most of it with ease. But then they heard loud screeching noises, making everyone jump.

Luna stumbled a little, and Kei grabbed her gently by the elbow to steady her. "Thanks."

"No problem."

Naruto cleared his throat as a signal for Kei to move his hand now, and Luna's temple throbbed as Kei did so before walking ahead.

"DON'T make me kill you," she mouthed dangerously. He just rolled his eyes as Kei opened the midget door and went through.

They headed for the door they had come through, but it was- "LOCKED?" Naruto shouted.

"Is someone...here?" A quiet female voice asked, and Luna yanked him down to the ground with her and Kei with MUCH more force than necessary.

"Way to go, DUMBASS," she hissed.

They were currently crouching behind a kimono as the woman started floating around, looking for them.

They were doing pretty fine. Until, that is, Past Self appeared and knocked over the kimono stand they were behind.

There was a moment of silence as Britney looked at them, and they looked at her. Finally, Naruto blinked and spoke.

"...RUN!"

Luna was about to follow them, but Past Self gripped her arm tightly, and they were suddenly in another room.

Past Self abruptly let go, making Luna stumble. She tried to stare her down, but it was kind of hard to since Luna was a good two feet taller.

"...You were in Yuu's room."

Past Self smirked. "Oh, so you DID see us."

Luna glanced at her bandaged and splinted finger, then sighed. "Please, tell me. What do you want from me?"

Past Self got closer, backing Luna up against a wall. Was Luna really fearful of her own SELF? This is SO fucked up..

She glared at Luna. "What do I want from you? What do I WANT?"

Luna sweatdropped. "Yes, isn't that what I asked of you?"

Past Self shook her head. "I want justice, Luna. I want you to pay for what we did."

"Why don't YOU pay?"

"BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE!" Past Self screeched. She blinked away angry tears. "I already have. I've been in this hellhole ever since we hurt them."

"...Hurt who?"

"Mommy and daddy," she replied with a sniffle.

"..Kira and-"

"NO, Will's mommy and daddy! Our foster parents. You hurt them, Luna. You hurt them really bad. It was scary," she said more to herself, her voice dropping to a shaky whisper.

"Please. Please, tell me what I did to them," Luna pleaded.

Past Self just shook her head quickly, ponytail bouncing to and fro with the motion. "It's not my job to tell you. I just want you to pay. ...Pay..."

She slid into the floor, and after a few moments, Luna heard creaking. She looked around frantically, and leaped out of the way right before Past Self's hand tried to grab her ankle.

There was a loud shriek, and Luna's tattoo throbbed. Past Self's spiritual pressure disappeared, and a new one rose, higher and higher, until Luna felt almost sick.

A woman suddenly appeared. She looked JUST like the woman Luna had seen in the room on the roof, but this time her kimono was sapphire-blue, tied with a blood red sash.

And she did NOT look friendly.

"You must pay..." She said in a hoarse whisper, reaching for Luna.

She moved to the right, but the woman followed her. With her touch came a fuzzy feeling, almost like a memory, but Luna wrenched herself out of her grip before the vision could form.

Now was no time to have flashbacks.

Five Fatal Frames later, the woman started fading. Before she did, though, she looked up at Luna. "You...You took away so much...You must pay..."

After she left, Luna noticed a diary on the ground where she once stood. She bent down and started reading it.

March 7:

Luna's settled in pretty well here so far. Her and Will have their moments, like any other siblings, but seem to accept each other at least a little.

She's old enough to have memories of her mother. She sometimes has nightmares about the "demon that took daddy away". When I try to comfort her, she asks me where her mom went, and why she left her alone.

But last night, she called me mommy. It was heartbreaking; for some reason, and I hate to even write this...but for some reason, something told me I will pay dearly for taking care of this kid. Maybe with my life.

Almost like...she's dangerous. But I know she couldn't be. She's only a child, after all. And giving her a home is the least she should get for her past troubles.

I have to go. She's having another nightmare.

And suddenly, she was back in Britney's room. The diary was still in her hand. Naruto was lowering his camera, and was the first to notice her.

"You're back. Where the hell did you go?"

She shook her head slowly, feeling a little light-headed. "I dunno."

Naruto shrugged, and Kei sighed tiredly. "Something tells me we have to go through the tiny door."

They all said in unison: "...FUCK!"

Just like before, they crossed the wide beam with ease. But then there came a narrower beam, but no eery noises, thankfully.

Naruto gave Luna a tiny push. "You're the wall-scaler. I vote you."

"Are you sure that's wise? She IS injured."

"Yeah, her FINGER. She'll be fine, moron."

"You don't seem to have much of a concern for her safety."

"Well, that's none of your business, Kei!"

"My name's pronounced 'Kay'."

"Well, NOW it's pronounced 'Ky'."

"HEY, YOU GUYS!" Luna shouted from all the way on the other side of the beams. She pointed to a door. "We need a Sleeping Stone. This is no good."

She was about to cross all the beams, but there were so many that she just scaled a little bit of each wall at a time, diving and landing expertly in front of Kei and Naruto.

Naruto smirked proudly at Kei. "I told you."

Luna smiled at Kei and put a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks for your concern, though." He smiled and nodded, and Naruto's temple throbbed as she let her hand slide off before opening the midget door.

"...I was concerned, too."

"Naruto, just shut up before you make Britney pop up again," she muttered as she noticed something by the mirror stand.

She held up a hairpin triumphantly. "Ah-HA! The Holly Hairpin. Now we can open that door over there."

"How do you know it'll unlock it?"

"Because I can read," she replied as she fit it in the keyhole and the door swung open. She held out an arm as if ushering Naruto in.

"Idiots first."

They went down the flight of stairs and ended up in a room with a bookshelf, a long short shelf, assorted objects on said shelves, and several exits.

The midget door was locked. "This needs a 'Dianthus' key," Kei informed them.

Luna cocked her head to look at it. "How the heck do you know what a dianthus is?"

He shrugged. "College."

"College," Luna repeated with an impressed "Oh REALLY" tone. Naruto huffed yet again. "People go to college every day, Luna."

She glared at him and went through the door to her right, which led them right back to the four-way-hallway with all the candles.

Hahaha Naruto. Getting a taste of his own medicine, perhaps?

Oh well. REVIEW!
