Naru and the gang raced down towards the entrance that Monk had found when searching for Mai with the others. The entrance had small steps that led down to a damp, candle lit hallway. Seeing how it's impossible for candles to be lit for a very long time. Naru knew that they had just been recently lit and by someone else.

'Gene, is there any way you can get to Mai? I know that if she's awake right now she would be very terrified right now. I just don't want her to be alone.'

'I'll try my best to get to her. I'm not sure if Haku will let me but I'll do everything that's in my power to get to her.'

'When you get to her, tell her…tell her that I lo,'

'No.'

'What do you mean no?' Naru thought angrily.

'I am not going to tell her anything because that's YOUR job! You're going to find her, save her, tell her you love her, kiss her, and have lots of babies and make me the greatest dead uncle ever!'

'You've been thinking too much Gene. Fine, can you please go?'

'On my way!'

Naru and the gang kept running and it felt like it was taking forever until they came into a complete stop.

"You've got to be freaking kidding me?" Monk yelled. The hallway had split into two different directions. "Now how are we going to find out in which direction we are supposed to follow?"

"Monk, you need to stop yelling!" Ayako said as she held on to his arm as he started kicking the wall.

"Well what do you expect me to do? We're stuck here trying to find Mai and then the fucking hallway had to split into two!"

"Yes, I know that Monk, we can all see that! But you really need to calm down! Yelling won't help us find Mai. Mai is depending on us to find her. I'm sure she would be really upset right now if she could see us right now acting like this." Ayako said as she loosened her grip on his arm. "We need to work and think together." Monk nodded his head as he calmed down and he grasped Ayako's hand in his.

Naru felt a hint of jealously because he wanted to be with Mai, to know that she was alive and safe with him.

"Should we split into two groups?" John asked.

"That won't be necessary."
"Who said that?" Naru asked as they looked around.

"That would be me." Everyone looked at Masako.

"Masako?" John asked.

"I'm sorry but I am not Masako."

"Who are you then?" Naru demanded.

"I am Misao." She said as she lifted her head.

"Why do you possess her?"

"Do not fear for I have already talked to this one woman named Masako. She allowed me to possess her."

"What is it that you want?" Naru demanded again. He wasn't going to wait here and listen to this ghost who was the real reason as to why Mai was taken away.

"I've just come to tell you that the girl that you are searching for is alive…for now."

"What do you mean for now?" Naru growled.

"He's going to kill her?" Ayako asked.

"Follow me, I'll lead you to her." She said as she walked away into one of the hallways.

"Why should we follow you? How do you know where to go?" Monk asked as he stopped Ayako, who was starting to follow Masako/Misao.

"Because…I have followed many of the other girls here he tried using." She said as she continued walking. Naru followed her and everyone else followed behind him.

"What do you mean by other girls?" Ayako asked

"Haku has been taking girls and experimenting on them."

"What do you mean experimenting on them?" John asked. Naru felt his blood boil at the thought of that spirit touching HIS Mai.

"Naru." Lin growled in a warning.

"Yes experimenting. For the past few years Haku has been trying to get back into the world of the living." She said as she continued to walk again. "Haku had somehow found out that he can come back."

"How is that possible?" John asked.

"Even if it was possible," Monk air finger quoted on the word possible,"He's been dead for so long, his body is long gone."

"A few ghost hunters have passed by here before you and your group showed up. Haku overheard some of them talking about how a spirit can come back from the dead. Haku needs to possess a body that is similar to what his use to be. So far he hasn't found anyone that looked close to him…until now."

"You mean Yasu? The man that was with us earlier, the one that wears glasses?" Lin asked. Masako/Misao nodded her head.

"But we made him leave this place." Naru said coldly.

"Let's hope he did make it out." She simply said. No one said anything for a while.

"Why haven't you left yet Misao? Why haven't you passed on from here?" Ayako asked.

"It seems like Haku has put up some sort of barrier around this place. And all these poor girls are dying because of me. I can't leave." Masako/ Misao cried. "I fear that this time he might be successful. He will make my life a living hell once again."

"If he killed you before, why would he still want you?"

"I have no clue." They turned a corner. "We're close; it's just up…ahead." The hallways suddenly became really cold. A huge gust of wind came and blew out all of the candles. "He's here."

"Welcome ladies and unwanted quests," said a voice coming from the darkness. A few candles lit up as a figure stepped towards them. It was Yasu, only he didn't look like Yasu at all. Haku was possessing him!

"Let go of him!" Ayako yelled! Haku glared at her.

"I will not! His body seems to suit me."

"What have you done with Mai?" Naru demanded.

"Oh she's around here somewhere," he said as he glanced around smiling.

"Give her back to us along with Yasu!" Ayako yelled at him again.

"Silence!" he yelled angrily as he flicked his wrist and Ayako was thrown against the wall.

"Ayako!" Everyone yelled out as Monk ran to her. She was breathing but was unconscious.

"You bastard!" Monk yelled at Haku. Haku just laughed.

"She should have known better and know her place when speaking to a man. Women don't back to men. She's lucky that I'm in a good mood or that worthless red-head would have been dead by now."

"You're not a man! You're not even a human being! You're a monster! The Devil!" Masako/ Misao yelled.

"Ah, Misao! I didn't recognize you in that flesh. It doesn't suit you."

"Let them go! They have done nothing wrong! Your business is with me!" Masako/ Misao yelled!

"As a matter a fact I do need this body."

"For what reason? We've been dead for so long that there is nothing here for us anymore!"

"Silence! I know that everything that I had is long gone! But I still have you! All I need is to have you all to myself! You will suffer slowly by my hand and Riku isn't here to protect you!" He laughed as he looked down at the watch on his wrist. "Well, what do you know; it's time for me and my bride to get married!"

"Don't you dare!" Naru growled.

"Don't I dare what boy? It seems to me that you are just like Riku, though you do look like him, an annoying pest!"

A sudden gust of wind past by them again. Everyone shield their eyes in protection. When it finally passed Naru turned around to glare at Haku but he was already gone.

"Ayako? Masako? Where are you?" Monk yelled out. Naru looked around and noticed that both Ayako and Masako had disappeared also.

"Damn him!" Naru slammed his fist against the wall.


Mai woke up in a dream state. "Gene? Gene, are you here?" she cried out. She could feel the tears flowing down her face.

"Mai," Mai turned around and saw Gene standing behind her.

"Gene!" She ran up and hugged him tight. "I'm so scared! Please don't leave me; I don't want to be alone all by myself!"

"Shh, shh, shh Mai," Gene said while hugging her back. "It's okay, I'm here right now. But I don't know for how long though. Haku is a very powerful spirit. I couldn't get through to you earlier but it seems that now he is busy with something else."

"How is everyone? How is Naru?" she hiccupped.

"Physically, they are okay since the last I saw them. But they are really worried about you. Monk found your shirt by a wall and it turned out to be a secret entrance to a hallway underground. Don't worry, they'll find you. But when Naru found out that you were missing he almost lost control and was about to use his P.K." Mai's face turned red with anger.

"Are you kidding me? Oh when I get my hands on him I'll be giving him a piece of my mind!" she growled. She hated it when Naru is close to using his P.K. What was she going to do if he really hurt himself!

"Haha, I'd love to see that someday!" Gene laughed.

"And what is that supposed to mean? You want a piece of me too?" All of a sudden Gene stopped laughing. Mai looked around and saw that everything was turning black. "Eugene?" Mai looked up at him. He was slowly disappearing.

"I'm sorry Mai, but don't worry! We will find you, I promise!" he said before he was completely gone.

"Eugene!" Mai cried out. She was all alone again. It got really could and she could here Haku laughing.

"Here comes the bride."
