Alright guys, we are nearing the end of our story here. But don't fret, because there will be more. =) Remember! SEQUELS! Yes, more then one. And the sequels are going to be great. XD I think... Might be a little bit more frightening then this one, but I don't see how this is all that creepy...but I'm the writer... But the sequels are probably going to have some of my worst fears. Because, Ghost Hunt had a few of my worst fears. But those are going to be a surprise for you all.

Anyway, I do hope you enjoy this, whether it is the end of the story or not. =) It's a surprise.

Enjoy and thank you for all the given support.

It had been six hours since we last saw Naru, and I was beginning to become more and more worried about what had happened. I felt responsible for making him run off like he did. He seemed angry. Little did I know that it wasn't my fault.

"This place isn't that big," Yasu said, "so he couldn't have gone far, right?" Yasu smiled, trying reassure me and the others.

"This place has four floors, a basement, secret rooms, a mine shaft underground, and an attic," Ayako said. "It's hard telling where he went." Ayako sighed and crossed her arms. "If we want to know, it's best if we just stay here."

"Is it possible he ran into some trouble?" Monk suggested.

"He has Lin," Yasu said. "Plus, Boss can handle himself pretty well against ghosts. It's doubtful he ran into trouble."

"But it is possible," John said.

I looked to my hands. This would have never happened if I wasn't stupid and latched onto him like that. I should have just told them everything from the beginning and hid the fact that I was so scartched up until later.

I looked to the ceiling. Then again, maybe that wouldn't have been the best thing.

"Naru!"

I quickly looked towards the door to see Naru, and Lin, walking into the room. They were covered in dirt, dust, and scratches. Where had they been?

"Where have you two been?!" Monk shouted.

"Finding the last of the pieces we need to get out of here," Naru answered.

Everyone looked at Lin to see him holding a chest. Lin set the chest on the ground and opened it, revealing a toe, hand, foot, and tongue. Naru had placed the other pieces we had found into the chest and then looked at us.

"We should find the last piece before it comes too late," he said. "Now that we only need one, it's plausible that the ghosts will become more violent then they are now..."

"Meaning?" I asked. Everyone looked to me, then back to Naru, waiting for the answer.

Naru was serious in reply, nor did he try going around it and soften the truth for me. "If another attack on you happens, it's doubtful we'll be able to stop them."

"In other words," Yasu said, "Mai is likely to die..."

Naru nodded at Yasu. "Which makes it the best decision to find the last part and leave."

"But," Ayako said, "what do we do once we find that last part? Just leave it in the chest and the door is magically going to unlock?"

"Mai?" Naru said, looking to me with crossed arms. "Do you know anything?"

I shifted in my seat and looked to the ground, taking a breath.

"I was told to take them to Shinozaki Chieko," I replied. "She's in the fourth floor bedroom...where the last piece is."

"Didn't you say to stay away from there?" Monk questioned. I nodded.

"It makes since," Naru said. We all turned to him. "Shinozaki Chieko hated Mihoko more then anyone. When she died, she was probably even more angry than anyone else. Her spirit refused to cross over until she herself killed Mihoko."

"Then why are we just standing here?" Ayako said, placing her hands on her hips. "We should get moving and appease that woman already! I want to get out of here!" Ayako sighed. "Then maybe I can actually have a cup of decent coffee..."

"I think I'm going to go on vacation after this..." Monk sighed.

"If you do, bring me," Yasu said with a smile.

I laughed as Yasu's teasing continued. My laughing soon stopped when I realized that we were finally going to get out of this place. Then my thoughts wandered to things that could possibly happen to us, that's when I frowned.

"You don't need to be frightened..."

I perked when I heard the familiar, unknown, voice that had been with me for awhile. I had kind of gotten used to it, but I still wondered who exactly it was.

"You and your friends are going to be fine..."

"But I thought Shinozaki Chieko was the most dangerous?" I thought in reply.

"She is..." That didn't reassure me even a bit. "But I won't let anything happen to you or your friends. As my repentance, I will set things right."

"Repentance?" I then began thinking things through. True, I wasn't the smartest person in SPR, as Naru put it most of the time, but I could piece together things when it really counted. Most of all, I believe I just solved the puzzle that had been wandering through my mind since the beginning. "Are you, by any chance, Hokage Yukihito?"

The voice was silent, as if it had left, but then it finally spoke. "That's correct." It was then gone, leaving me shocked. I couldn't believe I got it right.

"Mai?"

I jumped and looked up to see John looking at me, tilting his head to side. "Is everything alright?"

I smiled brightly and stood to me feet, holding up a thumb. "I'm prefectly fine! Just happy to get the chance of getting out of here!" I then laughed, making everyone around me smile (except Naru and Lin of course).

After a while, we were all standing in front of the Fourth Floor Bedroom. Just looking at the door gave me the creeps. It was as if it was emitting this dark aura around it, that just wanted to drag me in.

I reached for the handle, and that's when the soft sound of a flute filled the air.

"A flute?" Monk questioned.

"Just like that time in the main hall..." Ayako whispered.

I looked over my shoulder to Naru, see if he was willing to give any answers. He just stared at me. He wasn't going to answer anything and I knew it.

I looked back to the door and sighed. I reached for the knob once again, and turned it.

The door opened with a loud, and slow, squeak. Making me step back into the others.

"I hate it when doors do that..." Ayako mumbled.

"It is quite spooky..." Monk agreed.

"It's a door," Naru said, looking at us. "Get over it." Naru then walked into the room ahead of us, not even stopping for a second.

I took a deep breath and walked in after him, that's when I felt like a train had hit me full on. I covered my mouth and nose, feeling sick when the smell of blood came to me.

"Mai?" John said, resting a hand on my shoulder.

"It smells so bad..." I said, feeling weak in the knees and falling. John supported me before I had managed to hit the ground.

John was saying something to Naru and others, and they answered, but my ears failed to hear any of it. I closed my eyes, my head suddenly hurting.

"Glad you made it, Mihoko..."

I opened an eyes a bit to see Ayako in front of me, trying to say something, but I still didn't hear. That's when my eyes widened to the figure across the room.

Shinozaki Chieko stood there, blonde hair falling at the sides of her face and a white dress, similar to those of the ghosts I've seen before, covered in blood. Her hands were gone and stab wounds covered her shattered figure, but that wasn't what freaked me out about her.

Her entire jaw was gone, only leaving the roof of her mouth showing. Drops from the pulled off jaw were still present, dripping to the ground as she just stood there staring with the most threatening eyes.

"Surprised?" a woman's voice said. I figured it was Chieko's, but I couldn't see how she could speak with the way she was, but she was ghost, I shouldn't have been so surprised. "You did this to me..."

"I didn't do anything!" I shouted at her.

I'm sure everyone saw her standing there, and were thinking the exact same thing.

"Of course you did, Mihoko..."

For some reason I wasn't feeling as scared anymore. Instead I was feeling very angry, which made me snap.

I stood to my feet and shouted, "I'm tired of this!" Everyone looked at me, surprised. "I'm not Mihoko, nor will I ever be!" My fists clinched. "If you want to get your revenge on someone, do it to someone else!" I couldn't belive I even said that.

Chieko looked at me with shocked eyes, and she was silent. Pretty soon, her eyes narrowed and she looked even angrier then before.

"LIER!"

She lunged forward, but froze, before even touching me, at the sound of Naru's words. "Don't touch her."

Chieko turned around, as did most of us. Naru stood, holding a bone in his hands as he stood behind the chest Lin had carried up.

"You wanted this, right?" Naru said, holding out the bone, most likely Chieko's jaw.

Chieko looked shocked. "Where did you find that?"

"Do you want it or not?" Naru spat. Naru threw the bone and it rolled to Chieko's feet. She just stared at it.

"Or was it this that you wanted?" Naru kicked over the chest, letting all the body parts fall out and onto the floor.

Chieko's eyes widened even more, and she looked frightened. "T-This...isn't..." She shook her head. "I won't let you leave. You won't leave. You can't leave."

Just then, Chieko screamed, making us all cringe by the horid sound. Soon, the sound began fading along with her body and the body parts that spralled the floor. Then she was gone.

"Is it over?" Ayako asked.

"I guess so..." Monk said, looking kind of surprised.

"That wasn't what I expected at all..." Yasu said.

"No matter the case," Naru said, walking away, "we should be able to leave now."

That's when we made our way downstairs and to the front door, but not before I heard the faint whisper in the air saying, "Thank you."

*Narrator's P.O.V.*

Both Monk and John looked at each other and nodded. They then reached for the door's handles, and turned. Low and behold, the door had opened, letting in the fresh clean air of outside. Everyone was smiling, even Naru and Lin were smiling but only in the slightest.

"Finally!" Monk said, stretching.

"Freedom!" Yasu shouted, collapsing into the grass.

John laughed as everyone seemed to enjoying the fresh air.

Monk perked when he heard a small thud from behind. He turned around and was shocked to see Mai, and Naru, had collapsed.
