(Lin's POV)

At seeing her tell me to get some sleep I pull her into my lap. As her rear lands on my lap she tries to protest by saying "Koujo you need to get some sleep go lay down."

"No I wont be able to get any rest unless you are in my arms, since you are so close now...so please just let me hold you like this and I promise that I will sleep sitting here as I hold you in my arms." I say as I look her in the eyes waiting for her response.

My eyes are drawn to her chest as she takes a sudden breath in right before she says, "Fine but you have to sleep...I will wake you if anything happens alright." Nodding my head in understanding I puller her back towards my chest and put my face in the crook of her neck. I start to relax my body by inhaling her sent and in doing so I allow my eyes to fall shut and within seconds the rest of the world fades into darkness.

(Mayune's POV)

Feeling his arms wrapped around me I relax against his chest and begin to watch the screens. After watching for three hours I finally begin to notice some movement on the third screen which was the live stream of a camera right outside the base door, pulling my attention to the screen I notice that there is a woman in the hall watching the door and that she looks confused. With my attention on the screen I failed to notice that when I had made myself get a closer look at the screen that I had accidentally woken Koujo up.

That was until he spoke by saying, "What is she waiting for?"

"I don't know... but I guess I am going to have to find out aren't I arien" I say as I unhook his arms from around me and push myself to get up but once I am three feet away from him I ask,"Can you check the wards and make sure they are still working? I don't want to have it where this is a trap and she attacks and it just so happens that the barriers are down." I glance over my shoulder and watch as he gets up and heads towards the ward on the door wall. He glances back at me and nods his head signaling that I am good to go. So I quickly take a deep breath and let it out before I finish walking to the door and place my hand on the handle. I take another breath as if to steady my self and quickly pull the door open, revealing a woman in a long white night gown that has blue flowers on it.

The woman just stands there and stares at me for a second before she says, "Stop me... I can't be this way... save me!" with each word that left her mouth she got louder and louder until she began to scream at me and she just kept repeating it over and over again until she faded into darkness of the empty hall.

Once she was full gone I take a peak at koujo and see him watching me causing a blush to spread across my cheeks. I turn around and look him in the eyes as he begins to let a smile grace his face when suddenly, "What's going on...who was screaming." I can tell that it is Oliver who ask the question yet the others with him based upon the amount of foot steps that are heard. I Look over my shoulder at him and see both SPR team and LPRS team standing there watching me.

"That was the ghost she just wanted to deliver a message to me..." I say as I pull my hand up to examine my nails taking notice to my chipped red nail polish.

"Well what is it she said?" Monk ask as he steps into the base in which the others followed after. Every single one of them found a place to sit as they wait in anticipation to hear what the ghost had said.

I turn around to face them and glance over all of them before saying, "She wants us to stop her and to set her free and that's all that she said before she disappeared."

Oliver starts to open his mouth to say something when Kevin says, "It is understandable that she want's that I know that I wouldn't wan't to be stuck doing something I don't like long after I am dead." Glancing over at him I watch as he nods his head and the others all except Oliver accept this answer nodding in agreement Kevin then spoke up by saying, "Well then there was no need for us to get up yet..."he says as he gets up out of his seat and starts to leave the base, "I am going back to bed...night." As he says the words he waves good night over his shoulder before he turns left at the base door and disparaging into the dark hallway.

I watch as the other follow suit only they are mumbling as they get up and leave the room. Well all except Oliver got up to leave he just continued to stare at me as if he thought I was lying to him and the others. Ignoring him I turn around and grab Koujo's hand, "Since you aren't going to leave you can stay here and watch the monitors for the last two hours, Koujo and I will be going to bed good night." I say as I drag Koujo out of base and towards our room hearing a grumble come from the base as we are entering the hallway. As we walk down the hallway the wooden floors continuously creek from our body weight. As we reach our door I feel Koujo slip his hand onto my lower back causing me to shiver slightly. Smiling I open the bed room door and enter just as Koujo slides his hand around to my stomach and closes the room door with his other hand, shortly before that hand joins the other one on my stomach. I ignore the fact that we are still wearing our clothes and climb into bed with him following after me. Once he is under the covers I turn towards his chest and lay my head on it so I can listen to his heart beat as he rubs circles on my exposed hip both of which lull me to sleep.

(Lin's POV)

Felling the rise and fall of her chest against mine helped to lull me to sleep when suddenly Mayune moaned out. Looking over at her face I watch as she contorts her face as if she is in pain. I turn my body towards her as I push her over so she is laying on her back, I quickly put a shield around us in order to prevent her future screams from waking the others and so the ghost would not be able to effect her as much as it would without the shield. As the shield is fully in place her face softened and she starts to relax her body. As I watch her in fear at how bad this vision might be, shallow scratches begin to appear on her arm and again her face contorts in pain.

Suddenly she sits up straight up and brings her hand to her chest as she tries to catch her breath. She looks over at me as she says, "I know what spell was used to curse her, which means that we can figure out what spells can be used to break it." Mayune then gets up and walks over to her suit case and pulls out an onmyoji spell book as she says, "I know the spell...I know I have seen it before...aha here it is this is the one they used." She shouts as she turns to face me and hands me the book open to a page. Grabbing it from her hand I read the page she has it open to and I am stunned at the fact the caster used such a dangerous spell.

"So this is the curse they used...uh...this makes it a lot easier to brake but, I will need Veronica's help because we will have to figure out how to evenly combine these spells together ignored to prevent any damage or reparations from effecting us or anyone else in the vicinity.'" I say as I glance up at Mayune while placing the book next to me on the bed.

"Well that is understandable...but first I need to heal for some odd reason these words are taking longer to heal." says Mayune as she sits on my lap and I enclose her in my arms and place my chin on her shoulder. I bask in her warmth when she sets her hand on mine and turns on my lap to face me, staring at her face I let a smile fall onto my lips before she leans down and kisses me. I feel her pull at my energy slightly before she prevents herself from pulling any. She pulls away from the kiss and places her forehead against mine as she looks me in the eyes and places a kiss on my cheek. She wraps her arms around my shoulders and places her head in the crook of my neck and places a kiss on my pulse before her breathing slows to an even pace and she is fully asleep in my arms. Smiling I place a kiss on her head and lean back against the bed headboard and let sleep consume me.

I do not know how long I have been out when Mayune starts to move around on my lap when I hear her say, "Koujo I need you to release me...I need to make a call."

"No stay with me a little longer."I say as I push my lower lip out slightly and pull her closer to my body.

"Ugh... Koujo this is not funny..." She says as she struggles to get lose, "Release me now Koujo or so help me I will sleep in a different room and will not give you a single kiss for the rest of the case...do you understand me Koujo." At hearing her threat I open my eyes and look up at her face and see that she is serious.

I quickly place kiss on her lips before releasing her as I say, "You know if you had said please I would have released you so you didn't need to threaten me by saying that you wouldn't sleep in the room or that I wouldn't get a kiss from you for the rest of the case." I say as I watch her look at me then shake her head before getting up and going over to her suit case and grabbing some clothes before heading into the bathroom. As the door to the bathroom shuts I stand up and stretch my body releasing a loud pop from my back. I put my hand in my back pocket and pull out my cellphone and see that it is seven in the morning. Taking note of the time I text Noll and tell him that we will be down within the next thirty minuets as I begin to look over the text I hear the shower start running. Glancing back at the text before I send it I notice that five minutes have passed I quickly press send before I turn and get a change of clothes from my suitcase as I hear the shower turn off Mayune walks out fully dressed with a towel on her head she smiles at me before she turns and heads to her suit case to get her hair dryer. Taking her hint I quickly walk into the bathroom and turn the shower on after doing so I shut the bathroom door and strip of my clothing. I quickly wash my hair and scrub my body before wrenching off and shutting the shower off, I pull the curtain back slightly and spot a clean towel on the towel rack and grab it. I give my hair a quick drying and a quick dry of my body before I place it around my hips, stepping out of the shower I grab my underwear and put them on.

I quickly slip into my pants and put on my white button up shirt, I leave the first two unbuttoned and I exit the bathroom as Mayune says, "Dry your hair I don't want you to get sick." I smile as she hands me the hairdryer. I quickly dry my hair and right as I set the hairdryer down Mayune comes up to me with my tie in her hands. She flips my collar up and puts the tie around my color and she begins to ties it when she says, "You know I am happy your mother taught me how to tie a tie when it is on a different person. I never though it would come in handy until I started to fall for you." She says as she glances up at me with a blush as she finishes tying the tie and put the collar back down.

Hearing her words I feel pride swell within me and I pull her falt against me as I whisper, "I am happy you feel that way aìrén." I place a kiss on her lips and smile just before I am about to deepen the kiss there is a knock on the bedroom door. Pulling back I look her in the face and see that her face is a deep shade of red. Smiling I release her and I walk over to the door opening it to reveal Karin standing there looking a bit embarised. Releasing a sigh I ask, "What is it Karin?" as I ask this Mayune's phone begins to ring signaling she got a text.

"I just wanted to know if Mayune has heard anything from Veronica yet." She says as she looks at her feet.

"Yeah she just texted me saying that she is here she is just looking for her ride, I told her to look for a driver in a suit holding sign with her name on it she will be here within the next hour." Says Mayune as she places her hand on my shoulder.

"Okay thanks Mayune, thanks Lin." Karin says as she turns and heads down the hall in the direction of the base.

I turn and look at Mayune and see that she is wearing black pants, with a white button up shirt with the first three button undone and a black blazer and a pair of black heals. It is then that I notice that she is wearing a light pink lipstick that only insinuates her lips even more and that she has on a simple light brown eye makeup. Noticing this I say, "You look stunning aìrén."

At hearing my words a blush covers her face as she slightly pushes me before saying, "Come on lets get to base aìrén, before others being to think inappropriate things."

I hold in my laughter and follow behind her, closing the door to our room are we exit the room. I grab her hand and lace our hands together as we walk to the base. We get to the door and I open the door to reveal both Karin and Noll staring at the screens only for Karin to glance at us and say, "Hay guys the others are in the kitchen making food...you guys should go eat." Nodding my head I drag Mayune out of base towards the kitchen and as we approch the voices of the others could be heard.

When we enter the room they all look at us and quiet down when Takigawa says, "What took you guys so long...we thought we wouldn't see you guys for the rest of the day." as a crooked smile began to form on his lips.

"Takigawa that is very inappropriate...I thought you knew better, Mayune is not that type of girl." I say causing all color to drain from his face at the realization of how his words can be interpreted.

"I didn't mean it that way...Gosh Lin you made my feel bad." Says Takigawa as he scratched the back of his head.

"You should feel bad...such an implaction like that is very inappropriate especially when you know what type of person Lau is, she is most likely still pure and will remain that way until they are married." Says Masako with her kimono sleeve covering her mouth as she glares at Takigawa. Takigawa paled even more in response to her remark.

"Ma... I mean Lau you know I didn't mean it in that way." Says Takigawa as he steps back and bumps into the counter.

"I understand and I know that you didn't mean anything by it." says Mayune as she walks over to the cabinet and grabs a cup and poor her self a cup of tea.
