She was dreaming. Mai knew this the second she opened her eyes. She found herself surrounded by darkness and Gene was nowhere in sight.

Okay, she thought, Naru wanted me to see if I could find anything else out about the case…but what do I look for? And how do I look for it?! Ugh...okay I'll just think really hard and see where I end up.

The girl closed her eyes. "Please, just show me something…something helpful about this case," she said in her head.

Slowly she reopened her eyes and they widened in shock. I guess that actually worked, she thought with a slight smile and noticed she had control over her body in this dream. She was in a beautiful garden with all of its flowers fully in bloom around her. There were so many colors and beautiful fragrances that she wanted to just sit there and do nothing but relax. However, she spun around at the sound of voices.

There, in the middle of the garden were two girls. The older of the two looked like a younger Sakura. This must have happened before the whole marriage ordeal.

There was a younger girl next to Sakura, similar in facial features but with a lighter shade of hair. That must be Naoko, Sakura's younger sister. They seem very close.

The two sisters were laughing together and throwing flower buds at each other. They started chasing one another and fell to the ground in exhaustion.

"Sakura, when did mother say she'd be back? She's bringing the man you are supposed to marry you know," Naoko asked her sister.

"I know…but…I don't want to marry hi-," Sakura started but was cut off by a grown woman at the garden gates.

"Sakura, this is Niwa Daisuke, your soon-to-be husband. Naoko will you please go to elsewhere while your sister, Daisuke-san and I talk?" the woman asked politely.

Naoko just stared open-mouthed at Daisuke, completely dazed by his good looks.

"Naoko!"

"H-Hai? Nani Okaasan?(What Mother?)" the girl stuttered.

"Please go elsewhere, the three of us have to talk about the wedding."

"H-hai…" Naoko whispered, eyes slightly narrowed, and slowly walked off.

Mai watched what was happening in front of her and the scenery started to fade and change into another one.

This time it was nighttime and Sakura and Daisuke were hand-in-hand strolling in the garden; both with smiles on their faces. Clouds currently covered the moon, preventing it from shining too brightly on the couple who had started leaning into each other until their lips finally met.

Suddenly, Mai heard something to her left and saw two angry eyes staring at the kissing couple through a slightly opened sliding screen door. The clouds in the night sky drifted away from the moon, allowing the person's face to be viewed.

Mai's eyes widened. Naoko? Why is she so ang-…oh!…she loves Daisuke, doesn't she?

For the third time, the scene started changing and was replaced by another moonlit night.

Mai was in a medium sized room, a bedroom by the looks of it. There was figure in the corner of the room sitting at a desk that was covered in many old dark magic books. The figure was Naoko and she seemed to be writing something.

Mai's curiosity got the best of her and she walked up to look over the other girls shoulder. Her eyes widened. She's writing a…curse.

The scene changed one last time, showing Mai the scene of Sakura's death. Daisuke had been possessed by Naoko and was forced to kill the woman he loved. Daisuke's possession broke as Sakura was on the ground, slowly dying. He looked at her with shocked and depressed eyes.

"S-Sakura? What…I don't remember what-…I did this to you? NOOO!! Sakura!" he ran to the woman and took her into his arms. "Sakura don't leave, we'll be together, just wait for me. Wait for me, Sakura!"

Tears fell down the girls face. Sakura smiled but only slightly because of the pain and whispered, "It wasn't you; you were possessed by my sister…she's betrayed me…I love you…Daisuke…" her words faded as did her breathing.

Daisuke stood up in grief. He now knew who did this to him. He stood up and walked towards Naoko's room, ready to kill her. When he reached her bedroom door, Naoko came out with a knife. She was startled by his sudden aproach and automatically stabbed Daisuke in the heart, killing him instantly right there in the hall.

"Naoko!!" the girl heard her mother scream. She turned to her mom with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, I didn't mean for him to…He wasn't supposed to die! It was all Sakura's fault! She took him away from me; he should have been mine! But it doesn't matter now, because their spirits will never be able to meet again, I made sure of that," she screamed and stabbed herself in the chest, taking her own life.

"Naoko! NO! Kami why?Why did you take my daughters from me?!" the distraught mother whispered before she too took her own life.

(A/N: Yeahh a lot just happened but I really want to get this case over with, sorry!)

Naru was still seated beside his sleeping girlfriend. Suddenly the girl gasped, causing Naru to get slightly worried. Is she being hurt? What is she seeing? I have to wake her up, I did promise after all.

The boy was about to shake the dreaming girl awake, but the brunette's eyes shot open and landed her gaze on the dark haired boy.

"Naru, I was right, there is a curse keeping Sakura and Daisuke apart. She placed a curse on them," Mai told him in a serious tone.

"'She' as in who?" he questioned in return.

"Naoko; Sakura's sister. She was in love with Daisuke and became jealous that Sakura had stolen his heart. In my dream I saw a whole bunch of dark magic books all over her room. That must have been how she was able to possess Daisuke to kill Sakura and make that curse."

"Was it a verbal or a written curse?"

"Written," the nineteen year old girl replied.

"Where is it? Do you know where she put it?"

"Not exactly but I think I have a good guess."

"The room that won't open?" Naru guessed.

"Yup! Aren't you happy you have such a smart and helpful girlfriend?" she asked proudly.

Naru copied Mai's action and smirked in a teasing manner and rolled his eyes. "I agree that you are helpful…at times…but, I wouldn't say you were smart. If anything you probably just have good luck on this case. I doubt this has anything to do with your intelligence, or in your case it would be your lack of intelligence."

The boy got up from his seat and walked out of the base.

"Oi, BAKA!! I am smart!" she yelled.

"Sure you are Mai," Naru said teasingly and continued his way toward the others to inform them of the new information.

Okay, next chapter! There's probably going to be only a few more chapters and then I'm ending this story…but don't worry! I'm going to write a sequel!
