Looooong chapp, guys. i tried to fit the rest of the dream sequence in one chapter...BRILLIANT idea! NOT.

Oh, and for those who noticed, YES, there are quite a few references to pyschadelicsnake's walkthrough. His walkthroughs are hilarious, i couldn't HELP but put Fatal Frame 3 walkthrough references in there!

Hahaha anyways, enjoy! :)

"Great. Now what?"

Luna shrugged and went into the hallway straight across, to the exit. "Screw it, let's get outta here."

But then spiritual pressure returned, and a man was sitting there behind an object as if hiding from something.

He was groaning in pain, and Naruto dragged Luna all the way down the hall to the right. "No no, let's NOT."

They ended up in the projection room. Luna picked up some Type-14, while Naruto picked up a book. "Folklore? Screw that," he muttered, tossing the book over his shoulder and somehow managing to hit Kei in the head.

"Ow!"

"Oh. My bad, Ky."

"It's Kei. KEI."

"Well, now you're Ky."

Luna just shook her head, and Kei let the subject drop with a sigh. They left the projection room, and she steered them towards the exit.

"Are you insane? That ghost was in here!" Naruto protested. She rolled her eyes. "It was there for a reason."

But it wasn't there now. She tried the door, but it appeared to be sealed by some strong power. There was only one thing that could cause THAT.

"Hide!" She hissed as she felt the Blue Bitch's spiritual pressure start to form. She and Kei hid where the ghost had been, and Naruto hid behind a similar object to their right.

Luna winced as her tattoo creeped to the surface, as per usual, and the Blue Bitch soon crept into view.

She sounded like she was sobbing. And she wasn't alone. Past Self was with her, holding her hand, looking for them.

This time, Luna really did tremble. It's really saying something when you're not scared of the person who cursed you, but you're terrified of yourself from the past.

There was a long moment where she seemed to look right at them, but she then kept moving, and luckily Past Self didn't see them.

Once they left down to the other hall, Naruto ran to the exit and tried it again. "Still sealed," he mouthed to them. Luna nodded and stood, looking to see where the two ghosts were.

She couldn't see them. "My plan? Run like hell to that door straight ahead. And...GO!" She hissed before running as fast as possible.

Naruto was behind Kei, which drove him insane, so he used flash-steps to end up beside Luna.

She rolled her eyes and used HER flash-steps to end up right in front of the door. She waited patiently for Kei, while Naruto muttered something about cheating, and then opened the door.

They walked into the room they had just started in, with all the shelves, and Luna sighed heavily. "This is probably the longest dream sequence EVER."

Naruto eyed Kei suspiciously. "Funny how it happens to be the longest dream sequence where YOU show up..."

Luna's temple throbbed. "Naruto, it's not Kei's fault. Chill out."

"His NAME is KY!"

"Whatever, I'm going this way," she replied, going up the stairs to her left, which she knew led to the courtyard with the Spirit Tree and Shrine Maiden Midget Door.

Naruto tried the big double-doors with the blue lantern beside it, but it wouldn't budge. "I can't get through."

Luna sweatdropped. "Because of...rope?"

Because really, the only thing on the door was rope and sacred paper. But she had gone through the OTHER door with sacred paper just fine when chasing Past Self.

Perhaps this one's binding was stronger?

Naruto's temple throbbed. "OBVIOUSLY, it's more than your average paper."

TWO HOURS LATER...

They ended up checking every door, but to no avail, and ended up backtracking to see if the spiritual presence was in fact BLUE BITCH'S presence.

But of course, as soon as they got there, she showed up.

Once she disappeared again, the presence was STILL against the door, and Luna sighed. "Fuck's sake!"

They looked around tiredly. Pretty sad that they were getting tired in their own dream.

Naruto suddenly brightened and pulled Luna along. "This way!"

"Ow, fuck! Naruto, that's my hurt finger!" She groaned, and he let go with a nervous laugh. "Sorry."

He turned to the right and went through a door that Luna and Kei had never even remembered being there.

Hadn't it been locked before? Whatever.

Almost as soon as they stepped in, Luna felt a spiritual pressure rise out of nowhere. It felt like being jabbed with a fork, and she jumped, ramming right into Kei.

"Ow! Sorry," she muttered.

"No problem."

A woman slowly went up a few stairs to their far left, then disappeared. Naruto turned to look at them, temple throbbing.

"...You can pull apart now," he prompted.

They jumped five feet away from each other, both their temples throbbing. Luna walked ahead, up the stairs that woman went up.

Naruto shook his head at Kei. "Jeez. Putting the moves on Luna...What the hell's the matter with you!"

"SHUT UP!" Luna shouted from upstairs before muttering a distinct "Oh SHIT!".

Naruto and Kei ran up to see what kind of crap she had gotten them into this time, and both of them spazzed out. "HOLY SHIT! SHE HAS A BAZILLION ARMS!"

Luna put a finger to her lips, hiding behind a bookcase. The other two dove behind another bookcase, waiting for her to pass.

When she finally did, Luna stood and walked over to where the ghost had first been standing. In one of the drawers, wrapped in a kimono, was another Camera Obscura.

She tossed it to Kei, but Naruto intercepted it to see what it was. Kei's temple throbbed as Naruto smirked and handed it to him as if he had just won some competition. "Nice catch."

Luna rolled her eyes and started reading a book to herself. It seemed to be some notes.

It's been nearly half a month since I entered the mansion. It's still snowing outside. Once this snow melts I'll be parted from Kyouka, and most likely never be able to return.

Men are not needed in the manor. If necessary, I could run away, but if possible, I would like to take Kyouka with me. That feeling is what keeps me here.

Luna stopped reading, temple throbbing. Kei and Naruto were looking over each of her shoulders, and she gave them both glares.

"Personal space. Invading it. BACK UP!"

They jumped back, and she sighed. "I'll read the rest out loud if you're so damn interested." "Who said I was interested in the notes?" Naruto asked.

She just rolled her eyes and continued reading while he gave Kei that triumphant smirk again.

"Sometimes, worshippers from nearby villages come here. All of them cover their faces, and head into the shrine.

Today's worshipper seemed like a woman. She was holding a child-sized bundle, and it looked as if she was crying. I can also hear that "Lullaby". I wonder if the "Ceremony" is like some sort of funeral..."

"You have such a hot reading voice," Naruto said innocently.

She closed the book, then hit Naruto upside the head with it. "Ow! What the hell was that for?"

"Stop putting the moves on me!"

His temple throbbed, and Kei flashed HIM the triumphant grin this time.

"...Dammit, that was a hardback, too."

The woman with a bazillion arms popped up after they got downstairs, and ended up chasing them into a hall on the right.

Luna gasped. "This is where I was on my first night! I know where to go!" She led them down a few hallways, and was about to go through the door she went through that first night when she noticed a door with a ton of spiritual pressure.

She stopped mid-step and went to look at it. Naruto snapped a picture of the doll, and she squinted at it. "There's some kind of curse written on it, but I can't make it out."

Luna looked at Naruto. "What picture showed up?"

He looked through the viewfinder. "Uhhh...It looks like...SHIT."

"What?"

"Britney's room."

"SHIT!" They both hissed in unison.

THIRTEEN MINUTES LATER...

When they got in there, she was sitting in front of the mirror stand, combing her hair. The hair on her head, anyway.

Although, it WAS quite short for women from her time...

Naruto snapped a picture of her, and she turned to look at him. Kei and Luna ducked behind a kimono rack, but Naruto stood there like an idiot.

Britney slowly stood. "You said you would come back," she hissed.

Naruto laughed anxiously. "Ohhh, you think I'm that GUY you talked about in your diary! No no no no, see, you misunderstand..."

She vanished suddenly, and Luna let out a sigh of relief. "Cool. That was easier than I thought. I must hold huge sway with these ghost women," Naruto muttered to himself with a pleased chuckle.

Luna rolled her eyes, but then her jaw dropped as she felt a spiritual presence fade. Not only was Britney gone, but so was the doll on the door. She could FEEL it.

Luna stood up quickly, feeling Britney's spiritual presence rising again. "Okay, okay. Let's just run, run, RUN!" She shrieked as Britney appeared behind her, and ran for the door.

Unfortunately, Britney followed them, trying to get Naruto. "I won't let you go," she hissed. Everyone took Fatal Frames at once, and then hauled ass back to the room where Lady With A Bazillion Arms had been.

They ran to the door, and indeed the doll was gone. When Kei opened it, Luna's head started hurting. This was where she followed Past Self in the last dream.

She noticed that muttering was coming from the white sheets, and she shivered. Naruto sweatdropped. "What the hell is that dude saying?"

"I don't know, and I don't WANT to know."

They did a complete circle around the room, and Kei went up the stairs. There were tons of bookcases, and one of them looked movable. It WAS blocking a little area behind two larger bookases.

Kei moved it with ease, and let Luna go in first. "How charming. Let the girl go first so all the danger hits HER head-on," Naruto muttered.

Luna shrugged. "Dangerous is how I live." She found a film, and squinted to read the label. Even with her flashlight on it, it was so old and smudged that it was near impossible to read.

Eventually, she was able to make it out. "...Piercing of Soul?"

Naruto sweatdropped. "They sure have optimistic titles for their films.."

There was an altar set up to the right, but Naruto went up the ladder, so they naturally followed him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid.

Up there, they saw a woman standing a little past their lines of vision, but didn't get a good look at her.

The lights were flickering on and off, and Naruto groaned. "This just SCREAMS 'Grudge Girl Rape'."

Kei sweatdropped, but Luna was already running off from them, having seen Past Self whizz by.

"Hey, where're you- AH!" Naruto shouted as a woman lunged for him. Luna ignored him and ran after...herself.

When she caught up, Past Self grinned. "Oh. It's you again."

"Yes, it's me. Who else would be here?"

"Good point. Perhaps you're a SMART bitch, too."

Luna felt her hands clench, but slowly unclenched them and tried to ignore the pain that shot up her finger.

Past Self giggled and started dancing in and out of Luna's vision, using the flickering lights to her advantage.

"Luna, Luna, Luna. How on EARTH did you turn out this way? So sick in the head...Sick enough to do something so cruel.."

"Like WHAT?" Luna practically shouted. She was tired of this little game. Suddenly, Past Self appeared right in front of her, eyes narrowed.

"Cold. Blooded. MURDER," she hissed before laughing at the expression on Luna's face.

"You really have no idea what I'm talking about, huh? I knew you would be fun," she said with a giggle before disappearing again.

Luna felt something kick her shin and jumped back. There was a sting of something scratching down her arm, and she whipped out her camera.

Past Self was moving so fast that it was hard to even see her with the Slow Lens of the camera, the whole point of which was to slow down ghosts' reflexes.

Finally, she got a shot, and Past Self stumbled a little. Then she disappeared yet again, reappearing beside Luna. "You really think that flimsy occult camera will help you here? Funny. That's what that other girl thought. Yoshino. She was feeling guilty, too. See, unlike you, she was innocent."

Past Self glared at Luna. "YOU deserve the punishment of a lot more than that stupid tattoo. Yet you're still here, and innocent Yoshino died. Think about that." And with that, she vanished.

For a split second, all the lights cut off, and Luna screamed despite herself.

She heard banging on a door, and when the lights went back to flickering, Naruto and Kei fell into the room as the door swung open.

"We were just looking for you downstairs, how the hell did we not see you?"

"Are you alright?"

Her reply was drowned out by loud screeching, as if someone was scraping their nails across a chalkboard, and everyone clapped their hands over their ears.

It was gone after a few godawful moments, and Luna nodded slowly. "I...I think so."

Kei pointed to her right shoulder. "How the hell did you get THAT?"

Luna looked down and her eyes widened. There was a long scratch that went straight down the entire length of her arm. It appeared to have broken the skin a little in a few spots.

She sighed. "Great. Now BOTH my arms are all scratched up. What next?"

"Oh, and you have a mark on your shin," Naruto offered nonchalantly. She glanced down and groaned. "Even greater. A bruise!"

Kei was looking at the wall to the left of her, brows furrowed in confusion. "I think you have a lot more to worry about than that."

She and Naruto swiveled their heads to look at it, and she felt the blood drain from her face. Written in what appeared to be scratches, in big bold writing, was "Cold-Blooded Killers Always Pay. And You WILL Pay, Luna."

Luna blinked a few times, then headed for the exit. "Uhh...Maybe we should just keep going. Shouldn't we be finding that Butterfly Key so we can save Mio?"

That got Kei moving, but Naruto looked at the writing a little longer before sighing and hesitantly following them.

Luna realized they hadn't ever gotten a chance to check that mini-altar, and did so as soon as she got down the ladder.

She then did a rather hyper happy-dance, holding up some tiny object. "I GOT THE BUTTERFLY KEY! HELL YEAH!"

Kei and Naruto sighed with relief.

"I could kiss you right now. That means we're closer to ending this DAMN dream sequence," Naruto muttered happily.

Luna nodded and headed down the stairs, just barely dodging a flying hand from Lady With A Bazillion Arms.

"Oh, hi!" She called out to the ghost as she slid down the banister. The Lady looked a bit disappointed as she continued to hiss at Kei and Naruto, who simply dodged her as well. Naruto used his Flash-Steps, confusing her even more.

It might've been the adrenaline high she was currently on, but Luna could've SWORN she heard the ghost chick mutter "FUCK'S sake."

HALF AN HOUR LATER...

Luna could NOT get the door open fast enough. "Hey butterflies, what's up?" Naruto said happily, making Luna and Kei sweatdrop.

When they walked in, they didn't see anyone at first, but they heard a girl talking. "It was a promise, Mayu? We were always going to be together? So...I want to go too...so we can be together again..."

"Mio, no!" Kei whispered. Naruto snapped a picture, and Luna smacked him upside the head. "Have a heart, Naruto!"

"What?" He said defensively, but then they woke up.

Luna awoke with a gasp, and noticed her tattoo didn't appear. Was it because she had woken up in the middle of the night this time ?

Naruto awoke with a gasp, too. "You alright?"

She nodded hesitantly, then froze. "Naruto...Do you hear that?"

"Hear what? Wait...It sounds like..."

"Static from an old radio," Rei answered for him, making them both scream. Luna rolled off the couch, she jumped so hard.

"Dammit, Rei-Rei! You're awesome, but FUCK!" Naruto shouted, temple throbbing.

Rei just smiled apologetically as Luna rubbed her newly-acquired arm wound. It was starting to bleed a little.

"Sorry you two. It seems to be coming from Yuu's room. You wanna come check it out with me?"

"Sure! Anything to keep from staying here by myself," Luna muttered.

"You'd have me!"

"So? What's you point?" She asked, making Naruto's temple throb as he stomped up the stairs.

Luna used her Flash-Steps, and Naruto just huffed. "Would you stop doing that? That's MY thing."

She rolled her eyes and followed Rei to Yuu's room. "Maybe you shouldn't have taught me, then."

Inside, they looked around, and Rei noticeably turned three shades paler. "It's...It's coming from his closet...Maybe even in the attic above it. We have to go see what it is!"

Naruto sweatdropped. "Wait, wait, wait. Lemme get this straight. There's white noise coming from a radio, which appears to be in the attic, which is also hidden within your dead boyfriend's closet...and your first thought is 'LET'S CHECK IT OUT'?"

Rei laughed nervously, and Luna sighed before sliding the closet door open. "I'll go, Rei."

She poked her head up into the closet, and the noise got louder. Soon after, Naruto's head popped up beside hers, and she resisted the urge to scream. "Dammit, Naruto, why the hell are you up here too?"

He shrugged and climbed up into the attic space before holding out a hand.

"I'm supposed to protect you, aren't I?"

She hesitantly took his hand, and he pulled her up. They looked around cautiously.

"Where do you think it's coming from?"

His eyes landed on a box, and they both jumped as they heard something moving in the little space above it.

They stood there, stock still, and suddenly a pair of hands and arms slid into view. Luna gasped despite herself, and they both hauled ass towards the attic exit.

Luna was about to climb down when she heard it suddenly get really quiet, save for a rasping noise.

It sounded JUST like the Grudge Girl, and she slowly turned around.

"Naruto!" The girl was currently grabbing a hold of him, and he waited until the last moment to elbow her in the gut. "Back off! No hugs for you!"

And with that wonderful speech, they all woke up. AGAIN.
