Doll troubles and More burns

"This is Minnie… My brother gave it to Ayami-chan as a gift right before we moved into this house." Noriko-san explained, handing over the doll so Naru could examine it. "Did Ayami-chan's behaviour change before or after that?" He inquired, Kuro looked at the doll. It was starting to really creep her out she kept feeling negative energies coming from it.

Naru took a glance at his… assistant? Friend? He didn't know what to really call her at the moment but He noticed she had a faraway look in her eyes, he moved his eyes back at the doll Awaiting for Noriko's Response. "After, I think," Noriko says causing everyone to look at her.

Kuro wanted to see what would happen if she touches the doll herself, she had a hunch that the doll didn't like her very much for some uncanny reason. It was a risk if something did happen, it could give Naru a clue to her having some psychic ability, but she was curious; at the same time unnerved at the doll that claimed to be called Minnie.

"Kazuya… can I take a look at the doll for a moment?" Kuro says cautiously. Naru looked at Kurobara's face he wondered if something was wrong, by the face she was pulling and the tone of voice, something is defiantly wrong or so he thought "Is something wrong?" Naru queried to them. Kurobara shook her head "hmm… No, I just want to take a look at the doll for a second"

Naru handed the doll over and watched as her pale smooth finger danced to the doll, They seemed to be very cautious of the doll which he wondered often why she would look at the doll as though it's going to hurt her. Kuro finally grabbed the doll, softly and firmly it did nothing at first so she kept looking at it.

Suddenly…

The doll burned her hands just by touch it… scalding her skin slightly she bit her lip as the pain seeped through her whole body, to everyone else it just looked like Kuro was weirdly staring at the doll. Kuro quickly gave Naru the doll hiding the palms of her hands "while looking at it, I get a feeling of danger for some weird reason it's very… unpleasant to hold. Other dolls I have touched were different but this one…"

"Eh?" Norkio-san said, taken aback. "What do you—?" Naru grabbed the doll, Looking at his young Assistant he looked at her hands but for some reason, she seemed keen to hide them from sight Suddenly a voice is heard "Give her back!" Ayami-chan shouted anxiously as she swiftly burst into the room. "Give Minnie back to me! Don't touch her!" She shrieked, snatching her doll out of Naru's hands.

"Ayami-Chan, I understand you can talk with Minnie?" Naru tried to ask, but Ayami was already bolting back out of the room. "No one touches her!" Kuro looked at the door she ran out of and felt sympathy for the young girl. "Ayami!" Noriko exclaimed, shocked by her niece's behaviour from the way Noriko looked Kuro took a hint that she wasn't normally so… Possessive.

(Later in the evening)

Naru watched Kuro as she paced around the room seem to be in thought, he swiftly went to her causing her to jump slightly "Aein…? Uh I mean Kazuya is something wrong?" Kuro blinked while saying this. "Kuro why did you hid your hands after giving me the doll?" Naru questioned inspecting her face that morphed to worry.

Kuro felt cold sweat run down her smooth pale face " ah… I just felt like it…" Kuro says stupidly trying to act like it was nothing but Naru rolled his eyes before grabbing her uninjured arm he turned her hand overseeing a new burn on the inside of her hand. "The doll scalded you, am I correct? it was suspicious when you suddenly hid your hands away from sight. Better yet why didn't you tell me straight away?"

Kuro nervously laughs, she's been caught red-handed…dam she thought as she glanced up at Naru's handsome face. His Blue piercing eyes follow her, clearly observing her; Kuro took a big gulping breath "Well… I didn't want to worry anyone so I thought that I should keep it to myself, its nothing to bad Narcissus"

Naru slapped her head softly almost playfully, Kuro growled slightly "Dummy don't keep information like that away again, I would like to know if you are injured or have been hurt." Kuro slightly blushed but gave him a cocky smile " oh is little Naru-chan concerned about me?" She slyly says. Naru pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"I am only worried because you are my assistant I don't want you injured it will be troublesome" Naru utters frankly, Kurobara pouted at his words. She was a little upset at his words but she still brought out her playful smile " uhuh… I am sure you only saying that because your shy at admitting that you're worried about me..."

Naru sighs at her behaviour and rolls his eyes at her.

(Timeskip)

"So, that's Minnie, huh?" Monk remarked as he stared at the monitor showing the image of the doll sitting on the bed in Ayami's room. "I'm surprised that little one let you borrow it." Kuro gave him a guarded smile "I had to take the doll from her while she was asleep, I kind of feel bad about taking it from Ayami-chan."

"It seems kind of creepy, huh?" Mai asked. Kuro was not one to be scared of dolls but she couldn't deny that the doll caused some unwanted feeling to arise in Kuro " I guess its creepy, Dolls were originally made for the purpose of containing spirits. Dolls are easily possessed because they have no soul and are empty, Therefor spirits will be drawn into it as its that simple to take over the doll."

Monk nodded giving her an impressed expression " Didn't think you would know that Kiddio I am surprised at how much you know." Kuro gave him a small glare " don't call me kiddo" Monk chuckled slightly.

Before any more could be said Naru's chair rattled when he abruptly shot up out of his chair. Kurobara followed his gaze back to the monitor only for Kurobara's eyes to widen in surprise when she saw what had caught his attention. Mai was confused "What's wrong… Naru? Kurobara-san?" Mai started to ask, but then she gasped when she saw it too. Minnie was lying face down on the bed. "No way!" Mai exclaimed. "She was sitting just a minute ago!"

The air was thick with tension as they all watched the doll slowly slide further down the bed, as if being dragged by an invisible hand. Kuro was unnerved as she was watched the doll being heaved across the bed, Mai frightened expression was clear as day. Kuro made sure to by Mai's side trying to comfort her, telling her that she is safe with her.

Mai gulped when Minnie's head disengaged from the rest of her body. It trundled off the bed and onto the floor, round and round, until it bumped into the camera lens. The image flared and blinked out. All of the screens went dark.

" Naru the screens… what happened is there a problem?" Kuro says thickly while keeping her eye on her best friend Mai, Naru looked at the static screens "It's a malfunction." Naru stated calmly as Takagawa rotated and ran from the room. "Monk-san!" Mai exclaimed, rushing off after him, Kuro watched as Mai ran out following the esteemed Monk " Mai-chan!" she shouted while running out to her friend " That idiot… " Kuro finally caught up to them both and what they saw was...

Surprising, "Ah!" Monk gasped in surprised "What's going on?" Mai asked as they stared at the fully intact doll, confused. It was sitting right there, just how they had left it, Kuro shivered "Let's get back to Kazuya" she stated eerily calm. All of them got back to base "Aein have you looked at the footage?"

Naru glanced at her for a moment " No not yet, I am busy rebooting the monitors" Kuro nodded while taking charge of looking back at the footage, after a couple of silent minutes Kuro found… abosustly nothing she could sworn they recorded it " Naru, Lin-san its blank, there is no video it's just. Blank."

Naru rebooted the monitors, "No reading of movement on the other instruments either." Lin added, she gave him a small nod, after everyone calmed down Naru looked at Kurobara Mai and Monk " What did you three find?"

"Nothing," Takagawa said with a sigh. "Minnie's head wasn't off. It was just sitting there like nothing had happened." Kuro nodded confirming what Monk had just said, Naru paused " I see, well it's not uncommon, Spirits don't get along well with mechanical devices."

(next day)

Mai looked at the stairs, she was slightly anxious at what transpired yesterday, she headed up the stairs while thinking about what had emerged the previous evening. Kuro crossed her arms, as she watched Mai " and where do you think you are going Mai-chan?" Mai looked behind her swiftly.

Kuro was standing there in casual clothes crossing her arms sternly, Mai nervously looked at her friend "Oh, I, was going upstairs to… I wanted to check on Ayami-chan. I just… I just get the feeling that Minnie shouldn't be around her" Kuro walked up to Mai

" I understand… after what happened yesterday I also feel like Minnie is going to be a danger to Ayami-chan" Kuro watched her friend's face change rapidly to relief " However… please don't go alone, it's really dangerous to be alone in a haunted house. And let's not forget that you're accident prone."

Mai sighed, Kuro was always overprotective of her. She knew that Kuro wanted nothing bad to happen but she didn't want to burden her friend " Kuro-san… I didn't want to burden you" Kurobara looked at her dumbfounded at first but she then slapped Mai's shoulder " You are a big idiot, Mai don't ever say you're a burden I am always willing to be here with you and to help you out no matter how stupid it is."

"Let's go check up on Ayami together okay Mai-chan, no going alone." after a while, The two girls finished climbing the stairs together and made their way to Noriko-san's room. Mai raised her hand to knock on the door, but froze when they heard an unfamiliar voice speak.

"There are nothing but evil witches in this house. Don't worry, I'll get rid of them all." Mai and Kurobara exchanged a quick glance. That wasn't Ayami-chan's voice. Kuro could already tell that something is wrong, the tone of the voice sounded like a children's voice but darker; "Onee-chan, Mai-Chan, and Kurobara-san too?" Ayami asked.

"Of course."

"But I want to keep Onee-chan," Ayami said. The voice paused before it took a darker tone "No, no. I'll make sure to dispose of them for you especially Kurobara she is a bad influence to you, trust me you will be a lot better without them so, in return, you have to do what I tell you." Kurobara eyes twitched slightly, what the hell is that supposed to mean?

Both Mai and Kuro had enough listening to this insane conversation they were hearing. They grabbed the door roughly, hearing a rough BANG coming from the door as it slammed shut after they walked through. The only ones in there that they could see were Ayami-chan and Minnie.

"Were you just talking to someone?" Mai stated looking at the small girl who was sitting in front of her doll, Kuro opened her mouth " actually who were you talking with?" Ayami paused as both of their questions were said out loud "Minnie." Ayami-chan replied, pointing to her doll.
