A: There's bits and bits of fluff here though I never much liked writing about it. It was my sister's idea and I've just watched Spirited Away after the last chapter, and if that wasn't enough I'd been playing Shadow Hearts for days now and it's made me a blithering hysterical fan-girl type of person which I completely loathe being… Mmmm… Yuri is soooo cute… drools over picture of Yuri- idiot boy…gets slapped, regains control ahem… so if you hate it, blame them! …hope you like and R&R plz…

Many THANKS to the Reviewers & Readers: Heaven's treasure. (Only one review?)

Disclaimer: I don't own Fatal Frame II… Just the characters I made up are mine. So please don't sue me.

Recap of the last chapter

"Crap…" Kin swore suddenly realizing what the sound was…

'What was that?' a ghost voice exclaimed.

"…my phone"

Flutter Away Butterfly…

By Yunnie Yuae

Chapter Four: The Phone Call…

"Shut it up" the boy yelled hysterically "shut it up now"

Kin fumbled through her bag "I can't find it" she cried helplessly. There was no doubt that the ghosts had heard it. They didn't even have anywhere to run; they were going to die…

'Over here' the voice was growing stronger.

"I can't find it" Kin repeated, almost tearfully "wait…"

'There they are…' a voice called urgently.

"I've found it" she cried in relief, switching it off. Just then the boy drew her to him, enveloping her in an embrace. Kin gasped but didn't pull away. There was a strange sort of warmth to him that was almost soothing. She should be terrified that the ghosts might attack them but she wasn't. The sleeves of his robes almost completely covered her comforting her and warming her at the same time. And for the first time since she came here she felt safe… she should be scared stiff when she was hunching down helpless on the ground, in the arms of a strange boy, plus seconds from being attacked yet for some uncanny reason she felt…safe.

"Stay still" the boy whispered… "Keep very still…" Kin nodded lightly, blushing furiously when her cheek brushed against the side of his neck, warmth suddenly surging through her body….

"Where are they?"

She didn't know how long they stayed like this...soon the ghost voices faded away into the night; the breeze blew into her face ruffling her shoulder length mane. She looked up from his shoulder, the ghosts were gone… broken out of the trance she then looked straight at his face suddenly realizing with dismay, that he was still holding her…

"Hey" Kin hissed at the boy sharply "they're gone already so now can you please just stop hugging me?" the words came out more sarcastically then she intended.

"Sorry" He pulled away quickly looking horrified, and then he turned away blushing.

There was a silence, a few crickets chirped… then Kin decided to break the silence…

"Thank you" she bowed her head slightly "I don't know how you did it but you saved my life…" she paused hesitantly then muttered "erm… how did you do it?"

The boy turned to face her, an amused look upon his face "What was that thing you were holding before? The thing that called…"

"Huh?" she drew back confused then laughed when she realized what he was talking about. She reached into her bag and pulled out her phone "you mean this?"

"What is it for?" he asked curiously staring at it like it was going to jump up and tap dance or something…

"It's a mobile phone, it…" she hesitated trying to explain "it helps you call people who are far away…"

Some kind of emotion passed in his eyes "how?"

"Well… see these buttons here…" she pointed to the dials… "You push them and the one whom you want to speak to, will pick up and talk to you…"

"Can you speak to someone who's… not here anymore…?"

"Of cour-" Kin started then stopped understanding the meaning behind his words "no… I'm sorry it doesn't work that way… to whom did you wish to talk to…"

"My brother…"

Kin looked at him, hurt filling up inside of her again, there was something about this boy… why was he always so sad… there was so much about him that she wanted to ask but something told her that she should stop it right here… there was something that she rather not know about him… and that something was related to his brother.

"Er… oh yeah… but there are lots of people you can call" Kin changed the subject quickly, switching it on. At once the thing started ringing again and the boy jumped back at the sound.

"Hello…" Kin answered putting the phone over her ear "Kin Muk-"

"Kin…" a familiar voice cried urgently.

"Toshiki?" Kin yelled abruptly, gripping the phone so hard that her knuckles turned white "How dare-"

"Listen to m-"

"No-"

"You don't-"

"Shut up-"

"……"

"Why should I even listen to you?" Kin exclaimed harshly.

"Kin let me explain, you're in danger and I don't want you hurt…" he took a deep breath. He was sounding so worried that Kin calmed down enough to hear him out.

"That village…is cursed…" he whispered "it won't take long for the ghosts to attack yo–"

"Yeah I heard…" Kin replied as evenly as she could "don't worry… I will get out, just as soon as I find my brothers…"

"There is no time…" Toshiki demanded abruptly "leave…"

"Why?" her voice rose to an octave, she couldn't help it.

"I know about you and your brothers… you guys don't even get along… just leave them and get the hell out!"

With this words Kin flared up again, for a moment she just stood there, overwhelmed, unable to say anything…

"Screw you!" she yelled finally before snapping the phone shut. She was so livid that she had trouble breathing. When she calmed down enough, she realized she was crying…

"Friggin' bastard" she whispered under her breath, trying to wipe the tears that were flowing down her cheeks. Of course she should have known why he'd suddenly taken notice of her… He'd been spying on her… that's why he knew they were going to the forest… that's why he volunteered to help, not because he li-

'Snap out of it Kin' some part of her conscience muttered. 'Yeah…stop moping over that bastard' another voice piped up. Kin smiled despite herself, 'so this is how I'm going to get crazy huh?' she thought miserably then looked up to face the boy.

The boy was waiting for her "are you alright?"

"I'm fine, thank you" Kin tilted her head slightly mulling over her alternatives, so what if she was stuck here in this crazy ghost village… she was stuck here with a nice chivalrous old fashioned white haired guy… who was too chivalrous for his own good and too nice and also, Kin was starting to suspect that his personality wasn't the only thing old fashioned about him… but at least she wasn't all alone. And he'd already saved her once, so she could trust him… okay only a little bit but it's a start, she thought staring at him intently.

"Where to next?" Kin asked him "what should we do next?" She was pretty sure the twins were alright. They could handle themselves better then her. And their first priority was getting the pinwheels back…

"Huh?"

"The pinwheels?"

"The first one is in the cemetery, at the Tsuchihara shrine…" the boy said lightly "it's this way…" he led the way back to the entrance of the village… towards the hill top where the creepy altar was…

Kin stopped, trembling when she saw at the altar again… but her shivering had nothing to do with its aura this time… it was because of what was spilling out of it… vast swarms of butterflies were appearing out of it, it seemed. Thousands and thousands emerged out of it yet the altar had no opening… it was as if they were actually appearing out of thin air… they dispersed, covering the night sky like a humongous red blanket…

The skies glowed at this point, glowing crimson. It was a larger then life moment but Kin couldn't enjoy it… she was far too terrified… and as on cue, the ground rumbled as if a great hungry dog was growling under it… finally awaking from its deep slumber after ages…

Something brushed past her, her gazed dropped from the skies and aimed at the boy standing in front of her.

"It… is beginning…" he whispered mystically.
