The lazy me is back with a but more. Ghost hunt is not my, we all know that.
Thank you for your reviews, and thanks for reading that really means a lot to me.
"So there is another one?" Ayako looked stupefied. Naru said nothing standing in door opening looked at opposite wall.
"Maybe the right door is here,"Bou-san put his hand on wall above the craved words. "Maybe after her death that woman was hunting this house and that man feeling that he's close to his death craved those words on the well and here, but didn't made it in time and died. So that woman got berserk. If spell is incomplete that could happen. And technique malfunctioning could be caused by that too. It's very dangerously, these kinds of unfinished spells. Spirit is confused what to do so it can go crazy."
"We need to break it right?" John spoke up.
"Yes and that could be done only when both parts are broken in same time. So we both will be needed for that." Monk was looking at wall and then he looked at Naru, who nodded his head in agreement.
"And why do you never consider me?" Ayako grumped.
"Because you're not good with this. Oh, come on," He looked at angry Ayako, "You know that too! You're maybe good at purifying, but not with these kind of spells." Ayako said nothing, because he had point there and even if she didn't wanted to acknowledge it, she decided to stay quiet otherwise she would embarrass her. When she was thinking calmly she understood that, but normally talking with monk was impossible to stay calm, so now were one of really rare exceptions. "And we will need you as backup. You know if something happens to some of us. See you are important." Ayako eyes narrowed a bit, but then softened. All her gesture eased a bit.
"Do we need to find those doors?" Asked Lin looking at Naru, last one nodded his head. "Then I will go get the blueprints to see is there really something more and gather some tools."
"I'll go get blueprints you can get tools," said monk. "Besides all my things are up, and I need to get then if I what to break that spell."
They both left the basement leaving other behind. Naru went closer to investigate the words, but Ayako was looking around, she was here for first time, so she wanted to know what's in here. John was looking at wall and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
Mai was standing in front of an old door.
"We have to seal them. Otherwise there is no chance to stop this." Spoke up old womans voice. Mai turned to the voice direction and saw another door. It was open and she could see old woman figure. She was talking to someone.
"And these ones?" Asked nervous mans voice.
Woman turned her head. "These are not so important, but I think wariness would be necessary. We should seal these ones too, but somehow lighter, so she can get out and warn all those who would come in this house. I think that was purpose of her death." Old woman was watching door behind Mai back with strange eyes. Mai saw worry in there, concern and maybe something else too. Wisdom? Yes perhaps that was the best word to describe it.
"It will get weaker after my death, but let's hope that then will be possible to handle this more effectively."
"You are saying that with time that thing you described will get out?" In mans voce sang a little tone of panic.
"Yes. But she will still be here to prevent him for doing some harm to others. So even if it won't be safe to live in here, this place won't do harm to outside."
"Ok. I leave sealing thing to you then. I will brick up these doors afterwards, so no one has even thought of something more here."
"That would be good. Thank you."
"No. I think I need to thank you. We are in dept for you. Thank you." Man bowed his head so Mai saw only dark hair.
…..
"Mai, Mai! Stop goofing of. Hey Mai wake up. If Naru will see you like this he will be furious." Mai slowly opened her eyes, she tried to see man in front of her. Slowly monks face came in focus.
"Bou-san, what's happening?"
Man sighted in relief. "I was worried that's all there is. If you would have seen yourself you would be worried to, Mai you were perfectly still, motionless, you were breathing so slowly and shallow it seemed like you weren't."
"I'm ok. I was just sleeping." Monk looked at her more carefully.
"Mai was there something important about your dream? Was it THAT kin of dream?"
"I don't know. I was in front of old door and some man with old woman was talking about sealing doors away. Both doors. They were talking about something like protecting, I didn't got them quite well. You think that it has significance?" She looked at monk with surprise in her eyes.
"Mai, where're blueprints?" She looked at him with surprised eye. It was rare for monk no to explain himself, but maybe that was something important if he was searching for blueprints suddenly and so desperately.
"There." She pointed her finger a direction of papers. Monk started to search for those ones he needed. Phone rang and Mai took it up.
"Hallo?"
"Oh, Mai-san is that really you? I'm so glad to hear you!Ah, so glad they finally decided to get you back! They can't do a single thing right without you, especially Shibuya, Oh but that wasn't the reason I called you. I wanted to say that we with Yasuhara-kun decided to go and find that man that woman was supposed to run away. Maybe the chance is small, but we think finally we managed to find him, at least his trail, so now we are going to see him, maybe then we will know what's going on exactly. Ok I need to stop now, say hi from me to Koujo, ok and maybe a just tiny to Shibuya too." And then the call was stopped. Only beep sounds echoed in Mai ear. Madoka had spoken so fast that Mai even didn't had a chance to say a word.
"Who was it?" Asked monk taking as much paper in one hand as he could.
"Madoka-san." Mai answered and put down the phone. "She and Yasuhara-san are going to meat that person who that woman was supposed to escape with."
"I see. Ok but I think before that we need to break that spell."
"Can't you wait? Maybe he knows something important. I can feel that there is something not right with all this. That woman in my dream told that she needs to prevent something form harming others. So maybe she's not bad at all."
"Mai, she tried to kill Masako and poison us. How can you think she's not bad! Mai you trust others too much." He looked in girls' worried eyes, and sighted. "Ok, I will tell Naru about this, so don't worry. If he will say as to do it later we will listen of course. And at first we need to find those other doors." He took some bag with his things.
"But they are just the opposite on the basement entrance door." She said. "Why do you need to search from them if they are there?" Mai asked in surprise and monk stopped in door. Then he turned around came closer to Mai, showed in her hands half of papers he was holding and said: "Come."
Stupefied Mai followed monk out of base and sown the stairs to the basement. There she saw John Ayako and Naru. Last one gave them cold look.
"Mai why are you her? Who is watching monitors?"
"Hey, hey, Naru-chan don't get angry. I asked Mai to help me." Mai looked at Bou-san with cold glare. –You dragged me here, not asked- She thought. – Why no one asks me but only orders around here? – She thought angrily.
"You see she had a dream, and I thought that maybe she could be more useful that these blueprints." Naru gave monk another cold look. "She said she saw the door in her dream." Monk tried to justify himself. Naru looked at Mai. Few moments passed when he suddenly asked her with calmer voice than he was talking to monk.
"Did you really saw the door?"
"Yes, they are right there," Mai pointer her finger to wall opposite her right above spell. She looked at it surprised. "But there were a door. I saw them. I was standing with my back to them when some old woman with some man was talking about sealing them." Naru took papers our of Mai hands and gave one of them a look. Lin came in and Naru gave him a look and said: "we need to take down only a little bit of plaster there." And showed exactly at the same pint Mai had pointed.
"You want to say that I was right? That those doors are really there?" Mai asked.
"I'm not saying it. But these blueprints have some flaws and it seems that this par was erased intentionally."
-Right I had forgotten you won't prise others, but only you- Mai sulked a bit. Lin only slightly touched with some kind of hammer the wall when all of plaster felt down and old doors were revealed before they eyes. Some strange making were burned in to door, but they looked like something had tried to wipe them of with something acid or maybe something even more troublesome.
"Don't open it!" Mai suddenly called out. She was standing there and slightly trembling. She was hugging herself and her eyes were widened with fear. All of them looked at her. Naru came step closer to her put hands on her shoulders and said in strangely calm and for him uncharacteristic soft voice.
"We won't open them, but now go and rest a bit in base." Mai nodded and obediently went away. Ayako was standing with her mouth open and others looked as same as surprised as her. Even Lin looked surprised.
"Ok. Now we can continue." Naru was back in his boss role.
"Was she possessed?" Asked monk.
"No"
"Then why did you sent her away?" spoke up Ayako.
"Because she's overreacting and would disturb us."
"So you what to say that we don't need her anymore?" Asked surprised monk.
"I never said that." Narus voice sounded more like angry hiss. More silence. Then Lin spoke up.
"So you what to open these door?"
"Yes, but not until we break this spell. It won't let us open then until it's broken." He looked at his assistant.
"Lin would you go with Brown-san and break that part which is graved in well. Bou-san will break this one."
"And me?" Asked Ayako.
"You go and stay with Mai." Ayako got angry and stumped away. But after she got out of basement she stopped on first floor and looked outside the window. –I got it. I got it. That's not because I'm a burden, but you're worried about her, isn't that true Naru-chan? And we need to make sure she doesn't interfere when they break the spell. And if there really is something wrong with all our guesses that at least she will be safe. And if we will be ok, we will be able to help them.- She got to second floor and went in base where Mai was sitting on couch looking pale and nervous. She looked up when Ayako closed door behind her. She sat down beside the girl and put her hand on her shoulder.
"All will be ok. Believe in them a bit more."
"I believe, but I'm so worried. There is something more. I don't know what and I'm worried about that. The worse is only in front of us." Ayako said nothing, what could she do with this too sensitive girl? Nothing, only comfort her like this. They were sitting like that in empty base hearing dim sounds of monitors who were turned quieter. Mai had done it, in order not to hear what they are planning so she won't interfere them. She knew well why Naru had sent her away. So she won't interfere with they work when she wasn't needed. That made her sad. –He doesn't need me- She thought, but staid there were he had told her to be. But in same time Naru and Lin decides that they will break the spell after five minutes. John and Bou broke spell in exact one time. Words craved in well and floor glowed up with white light and then vanished like they would had been poured with acid. Only in time when they were glowing Naru spotted something. All words were glowing. Those who were supposed to be erased on flour too.
"You, who are sleeping beside the well for eternity, you will need to protect all the living things from that crazy murder who was one your brother."
He looked at door yes now he saw what was written there. Because those words were glowing too.
"You – beast – sleep here and ever don't come out!"
Seemed that those two spell were connected after all, even if the last one seemed to be younger. And now both of them were broken. Monk didn't saw it as he had closed eyes.
-We're in deep pit now. - Thought ran trough Naru mind.
Ok, so for now it's all I hope you like it. I will update soon again. I hope it will be sooner that this part. It somehow came hard, because of mess in my mead and too much unfiniched homework ^^. I'll be waiting for your rewievs with ideas and judgments ;)
And I'm sorry that this part may sound laborious.
