Kumanari fell to the side in shock, taking the lose part of the railing with her. Uriko couldn't react in time and fell off when she tried to stop. Kumanari watched in horror as she saw Uriko fall into the darkness. "Oh god," she said in upset, "I hope that doesn't kill the poor girl...I'm sorry Uriko" Kumanari walked to Takami's room, which was at the other end of the balcony, but it was locked. "Looks like I should go the other way," she said, looking more upset, "Narusawa, Uriko, possibly Takami too...is my entire family dead now?"
After going through Narusawa's room she was in the bedroom hallway. She, decided to try to go into Takami's room from this side, but that door was locked too. She finally looked into Uriko's room. It was a normal room, but Kumanari noticed something was different. There was something that looked like a glowing, gold thing on the bed. "What's this," she asked as she came closer, "a doll? No...it's a statue! What's it doing in Uriko's room?" She tried to touch the statue and it zapped her. "Aah," she yelped, "Strange...there's some power that's just radiating from it!" She tried to look at it more, but she suddenly heard a scream.
"Takami," she yelled, and then ran back out to her bedroom door on the hallway. She banged on it and tried everything but there was no response. So she went back to the balcony entrance and strangely enough, the door was already opened a crack. She opened more and saw the other door close as someone giggled. "U-Uriko," she wondered. Takami's room had a large metal dresser, a normal dresser, her bed, and her computer. She saw someone at the computer and went to look. Just as she'd feared it was Takami, with a dagger stabbed straight through her. "Takami..." she said sadly, "don't worry I'll try to get Uriko back to normal again."
She saw something on the desk and looked at it. It was picture of the family all together, looking happy. Just as she sighed the picture fell forward and she jumped. Nothing happened so she put it back up and left it alone. Everything was freaking her out, and that was understandable. "It's gotta be something to do with that statue," she decided. So she went to inspect it one more time.
After finding out nothing more she wondered if Uriko's radio worked. She turned it on and it was nothing but static on all the stations. "This must be broken," she thought. Then a male voice came though the static, only repeating Uriko's words. Kumanari picked up the radio and smashed on the ground. She was getting so tired of all these threats and not knowing what the heck was going on. Then she heard Uriko's laughing again. Thinking quickly, she picked up one of Uriko's chairs. When Uriko approached her she banged it on her head, hard enough to knock her out. "Sorry," she said as she ran out.
When she got back into the bedroom hall she stopped to think. "I've got to get Inazuma's help," she said, "I know nothing about protecting myself...I'll just have to hope he doesn't go over board." So she went back out to the stairway's hall, and started to go into the living room, when she stopped to look at the samurai statue. "Ehhh," she shivered, "This thing always gives me the creeps!" Something caught her attention and she jumped as far back as she could. Even the samurai was against her! It'd tried to slice her in half with its large sword, but it was slow.
Kumanari quickly ran into the living room and closed the door behind her. She waited a little while, and it didn't seem like it was following her. Then she calmed down and started looking around. She needed somewhere safe to put her amulet, and while she was looking around she saw the cordless phone. "I wonder if this one will work," she said as she picked it up. "I'm going to kill you," the male voice said slowly. Kumanari slammed it back down. "Why do you want me dead," she wondered out loud and walked around some more.
There was one of those Japanese matted floors with a table in the middle of the next room and to the right there was a sword and a little samurai doll. She'd always liked the doll but when she looked at it, even it tried to kill her! It flew up accompanied by that male voice and started diving at her. She ran from it and grabbed the sword that was beside it. When it dived at her again she whacked it out of the air and tried to catch her breath for a while. Once again she heard that laugh coming. "How many times is this going to happen," she asked, sounding VERY irritated.
As Uriko started chasing her she ran out of the room, to another balcony. She crouched in a dark corner as Uriko approached. Then when Uriko was just about to go in for a stab, Kumanari broke a flowerpot over her pot and ran like heck. She ran back into the matted room and caught her breath. "When is this gonna end," she cried, "can't I at least find Aunt Misuko or Uncle Greg, ALIVE somewhere?" Then she noticed something dripping on to the table and went to see what it was. It was red...blood! Kumanari started backing up in horror when Takami suddenly went crashing on to the table.
"T-Takami," Kumanari asked in horror, wondering how the heck he got there. A little voice poked at her mind. "Don't be afraid Kumanari," Inazuma said, "If you fowl up everyone is dead." Kumanari nodded and said ok, walking back into the living room. She sighed and looked around some more, checking over all the rooms up stairs. She got scared to death by a picture that seemed to get a life of it's own and tried to fall on her, but it missed. Besides that incident she found a key and had another run in with the samurai, which was to slow to chase her effectively anyhow.
She went back downstairs and into the dining room, and she finally found it, there was a vase that was standing by a sink on the right of the fireplace. She put her amulet there for safekeeping and looked around some more. When she went into that room with the horrid arm in it again she heard Greg yelling. Kumanari was happy to hear someone else, but afraid because she could hear what he was saying.
"Uriko stop," he was yelling, "Uriko please don't do this!" "It's show time," Inazuma's voice said in her mind. She nodded, looking determined, and tried to open the door. It was locked! She tried to unlock it with the key, and in a stroke of luck, it opened! When she got in Greg was sitting on his bed, trying to back away from Uriko frantically. Uriko looked at Kumanari as she came in, with a look that said, "you are impossible, but I WILL get you." Uriko advanced on Greg even more, waving her little knife around.
Kumanari, without thought, charged at Uriko, knocking her over. "Run uncle Greg," she screamed, "hurry!" Greg was still in shock when Uriko got up and ran at Kumanari with her knife again.
After going through Narusawa's room she was in the bedroom hallway. She, decided to try to go into Takami's room from this side, but that door was locked too. She finally looked into Uriko's room.
