File 1: Bloody children everywhere

We had been walking around letting Bou-san done exorcism on every classroom we came across but so far there weren't any reaction coming from the spirits around much to our relieved and worried at the same time, it was just weird for them to be suddenly going quiet after what had happened during these two days.

"They don't make any resistance…" I wondered out loud catching everyone's attention as we prepared to left one of the classroom Bou-san had finished exorcise and sealing it up.

"It's strange but at least I won't be tired myself out before the main exorcise even begin." Bou-san sighed slightly, he was relieved at the fact that there weren't any reaction but also prepared for the worst in the main exorcism.

"Talking about strange, there's a thing I have been wondering…" Yasuhara words caught everyone attention to him next before he continued, "There are 2 vehicles outside." he pointed toward the window right outside in the hallway of the classroom.

"What strange about 2 vehicles?" I turn back to Yasuhara with a puzzled look before returning my glazed back to the window, "It was just Bou-san's car and…" I paused suddenly at the certain name that was going to come out of my mouth as a certain anxiety and worried feeling raised again. What was that just now?

"Mai-san?" John called out from beside Yasuhara in concern.

"…Who is the one driving the van?" I snapped out of my thought and asked out the question bothering me.

"That's what bothering me." Yasuhara pushed his glasses up before stating, "Only Bou-san is able to drive vehicle so who is the one driving the van?"

"It is me." Replied John as he raised his hand.

"You can drive?" I asked out everyone thought.

"Yes…" John nodded but there was a brief confused look on his face for a moment.

I never saw him drive the van before…Eh? Then who was the one driving the van during our previous cases? It was getting more and more confused as I thought about, the question just kept coming up when the question we had so far was even answered.

We continued our way toward the next classroom quietly in our own thought before a certain cracking sound caught our attention, we alertly turn toward the source of the sound to saw small part of the wall was cracked open like a door.

"There's a secret door?"

Bou-san walked toward the open door followed by the rest of us but somehow I felt wary of that door, it felt like something bad had happened there before but I couldn't seem to remembered it and I certainly didn't felt like going near there at all.

'There...careful…'

A certain child voice rang in my head as an image of a familiar young girl replacing where Bou-san was standing, surprising me for a second before the screen change back to normal.

"Shall we go check on it?" Bou-san turned to asked Naru who was standing beside him looking inside the almost completely dark doorway.

"No…" I spoke up before Naru could even answer, causing them to turn their glazed toward me before I continued, "Ehm…I mean the entrance is a bit small, won't it be easy for us to get separate or trap in there?" I come out with an explanation hoping they were dissolve the thought of going there.

"Jou-chan is right…" Bou-san tightens his eyebrow in thought before turning back to Naru, "What do you think we should do, Naru-bou?"

"Go check it together." Naru decided before telling us, "Make sure everyone stick close to each other." He then took out a small flashlight and went in first, somehow that action make me feel way too familiar.

What with these familiar feeling? I frowned before taking a look at the other, except for Bou-san and Yasuhara, John seems to be wondering about something.

"The three of you go in first, I will go in last just in case." Bou-san indicating us to went in ahead first.

With a nodded from us, we went in one after another without getting any trouble to my relieved before I became alert at the surrounding, this place gave me an eerie and strange feeling as if something would happen to us soon or something.

"There is nothing here except boxers…" Yasuhara said while looking around as we reached the attic.

Those boxers… I also alertly look around before blinking at the sudden image of red bloody eyes staring out of an open box flashing in my mind.

"Is something wrong, Jou-chan?" Bou-san caught me spacing off and asked.

"Nothing…" I shook my head before something caught my attention as Naru shone the flashlight around, "That's a…book?" I walked toward one of the boxs as the thing on top of it seem kind of familiar.

"Wait, Jou-chan!" Bou-san called out to me as he followed behind me along with the other.

I reached out my hand to pick up the book and then suddenly I felt a cold touch on my wrist, "What…" I look down toward the box to catch a glimpse of something like a hand gripping tightly on my hand, "No! Let's go of me!" I scream in panicked as I struggled to break free in the next second.

"Mai-san/Taniyama-san!"

"Takigawa-san!"

"Naumaku sanmanda bazaradan kan!" Bou-san chanted his Mantra the instant he had been called by Naru.

As Bou-san finished, I felt the hold on my wrist suddenly disappeared, it was so sudden that I end up stumble back, almost landing on the floor if I didn't managed to steady my step in the last second.

"Mai, stop running around like an idiot." Naru came forward scolding me like usual.

Jerk! Can't he at least ask if I'm fine or not before the lecture!

"Sorry for being…" I glared at Naru and the fear I had a few second ago flew away in a instantly with just that before I knew it.

"What are you holding?" Naru cut off my words, completely ignoring the glare I was sending him as he lower his eyes to my hand with his flashlight shine on it.

"Oh…" I snapped out of my glaring as I remembered the thing I was holding, "It was the book from before?" I looked down at the book to saw Yoshizawa Ryo name written on the cover.

"Jou-chan, are you alright?" Bou-san came asking in concern, following by the others.

"I'm fine." I turn to answer Bou-san with an assuring smile.

"Good." Bou-san sighed in relief before noticing the book I was holding, "Why is that book here?" he look at it and then to me bewilderedly.

"I wish I know…" I stared at the book wondering the same question as Bou-san.

"Why don't we take a look at it?" Yasuhara snapped us out of our wondering as he suggested.

I nodded and was about to flip the book open when the temperature around drop, "I think we should leave…" I could somehow felt different glazes staring at us in the darkness which made me shivered.

The other agreed and we turned around to walked back down the staircase toward the floor below but things didn't went that smoothly for us, just as I was going to crawl out from the small door after John and Yasuhara, the place started to shake with the sound of unhappy and wilful Sachiko.

This seems familiar… Almost instantly my body acted on my own reachung my unused hand to grabbed on the one in front of me but the continuous shaking just made me slam backward onto the floor before I could.

"It seem like they won't let us leave that easily." Bou-san said before he started chanting.

The shaking stop in the next second but I was not really relieved by it at all, the first thing came to my mind was the two persons outside.

"John! Yasuhara!" I immediately look up toward the open door to be widen my eyes in shock, "They are not there…" There was no sight of them outside as if they had vanished into thin air.

"This is the worst situation…" Bou-san ruffled his hair in annoyance, he was both annoyed and anxiety by the situation we were in now.

The three of us get out of the stairway without anything stopping us this time, we look through the hallway but there was still no sight of the two.

"Where are they?" Asking to no one in particular, I put a hand on my chest where my heart was beating fast from worried and at the same time I felt as if this situation had happen before.

"There is a chance they had just escape to the nearest seal room from whatever happen during the shaking..." Bou-san trying to assured me or himself before turning to Naru, "Should we go search for them or continue the exorcism?"

"We will continue the exorcism." Naru decided almost instantly, he than turned around to leave.

"But Naru...!" I frowned at Naru calm attitude, isn't he worried about Yasuhara and John at all?

"Nee-chan, let have more fun…"

It all happen in a second, Naru suddenly grabbed my hand just as I noticed the girl who might be Sachiko appeared beside both Bou-san and I with an eerie smile which made me stood there shivered in fear.

"Come, Mai! Takigawa-san, follow up!" Naru took a look back to Bou-san before dragging me along with him

"Naumaku sanmanda bazara…" Bou-san chant his mantra but was stop halfway, he was suddenly being pulled back toward the open door by multiple dark small hands.

"Bou-san!" I tried to broke free of Naru grabbed to go to help Bou san out but couldn't.

"Naru-bou!" Bou-san threw something over and landed by my feet which I picked it up immediately.

"Mai, move!" Naru this time forcefully pulled me away just before a loud smashing sound was heard.

"Wait, Naru! We have to help Bou-san!" I tried to shrugged off Naru's hand again but his hand hold firmly on me, not intending to let me shrugged off that easily at all.

No…Bou-san, John, Yasuhara, Ayako…! I blinked in surprised at the sudden name popping up in my head before I bam right onto someone back, Naru had suddenly stop his movement.

"Naru?" I asked in confused before looking through Naru shoulder to saw a young boy standing not far away in front of us, "Yoshizawa Ryo…" I couldn't help but shivered slightly as Ryo suddenly evil smile.

"Mai, stay calm, we're going to walk past him." Naru told me without taking his glazed off Ryo.

I nodded before suddenly feeling shivered went down my spine, I instantly knew it was not just the ghost boy around us. Don't tell me it was that male ghost...What should we do now?

Before I could do anything, Naru suddenly pulled me away from the spot which end up in him crashing right on the wall and I landing on his chest as I felt something cold gracing past my arm.

"Hehe, onee-chan had dodged it…" It was a different unfamiliar girl's voice this time but yet it felt rather familiar though.

I slightly turn around to saw a girl without an eye, from her look she was Kanno Yuki and she really look quite scary with her appearance and the bloody scissor on hand.

We can't escape like this…I have to do something!

I move away from Naru and held the thing Bou-san had threw it to us which was his vajra (The thing Bou-san use sometime in exorcism) in the formed the Acalanatha seal, "Naumaku sanmanda bazaradan kan!" I chanted the mantra before chanting the Kuji-in with the hand sign, "Rin Pyo Toh Sha Kai Jin Retsu Zai Zen!"

Just as I was chanting, the two spirits had launch forward toward us but they suddenly stop as I managed to finish the chanting before they could reach us.

"We're going, Mai!" Naru grabbed my hand again and run past Ryo to escape.

Naru and I escaped into the nearest classroom which was one of the places that had been cleansed by Bou-san previously, it should be safe for the time being at least.

"I'll let you feel how I feel…"

Before I could enter, I felt something cold touch me and then everything went black for me.

I was running in the hallway panting, I still couldn't forget what I had saw earlier but the look that person gave me really gave me a dangerous feeling so I had run off.

Eh? What 'him' and 'that look' about?

I don't know how long I run until I suddenly bam onto someone around the corner and I look up to saw a familiar face, I immediately felt kind of relief.

"Sensei, Okaa-san is…" I grabbed onto the teacher shirt with my small hand which made me realized I was now a child and cried for help.

"Yoshikazu, don't let the girl escape!" A devil voice rung across the hallway which made shivered in fear instantly.

"Otou-san?" The teacher called out in confused but still did as he was told hold.

When I heard his words, I felt my only hope disappeared in an instant, all I know was that I had to escape but before I even could, the man I was running away from was already behind me.

"You won't be escaping." The man said creepily before I felt something hit my head.

"Otou-san! What are…"

I felt my vision started to became blur, all I could heard was the two male saying something I can't make out before someone pick me up and brought me to a place.

It's hurt…What are they going to do to me?

I felt someone tear my cloth away and I immediately knows what was going to happened next, I want to struggled but I can't move, all I could hope for was my mother or someone will come to help me but I kind of knew it won't happen.

I don't want to went through all this! Someone stop it!
