"So you think it's in the room that won't open?" Bou-san asked SPR's narcissist boss after hearing what Mai saw in her dream.

"That is what I said. Now, we need to open that door and destroy that curse," Naru answered with a bit of irritation but continued, "I need you and Ayako-san to be there in case Naoko's spirit is the thing keeping that door closed. If her spirit is there I will need you to exorcize it."

The monk and miko nodded and headed to their rooms to get their needed equipment.

"Ne Naru, would you like some tea?" Mai asked him to sooth his irritated mood.

Naru looked over at the girl and nodded once. She left the base and walked toward the kitchen. I wonder what type of tea will make him relax. Green tea? Hmmm, maybe white tea.

She continued down the hall and entered the kitchen. As the girl started boiling the water she felt a cool chill on her back, making her very uneasy.

"I'll get you for figuring out where I put that curse!" an angry familiar voice sounded throughout the kitchen.

Mai spun around to come face to face with the spirit of Naoko.

"Y-You…your spirit is still here?" Mai whispered in fear (hey you would too if a ghost was threatening you).

Naoko smirked viciously and looked at one of the kitchen drawers. It slowly began to open by itself and a large kitchen knife rose out of it, pointing straight towards Mai.

"Die!"

Naru was in the base, patiently waiting for his tea. Ayako and Bou-san had already finished changing into their traditional clothes and were sitting on one of the couches, while John and Masako left to go check on the door that wouldn't open.

Madoka was sitting beside Lin as they sat in front of the monitors, completely ignoring the computers as they talked about the dream Mai had earlier.

Suddenly, while talking to his girlfriend, Lin stopped mid-sentence as one of his Shiki he had left on guard came and whispered something in the Chinese man's ear. Lin's eyes narrowed and he turned to Naru.

"Naru, one of my Shiki has told me there was a malicious energy heading towards the kitchen. That's where Mai was headed, right?" the older man asked his 'boss.'

Naru's eyes widened and was about to respond when a shrill scream reached his ears.

He jumped up, knowing that scream, and ran as fast as he could towards the kitchen with the rest of the gang on his heels.

"MAI!" he yelled and pushed himself harder. She was in danger. He promised he would never let anything harm her.

The second Naru turned into the kitchen the sight that he was met with made him feel broken.

Blood…

Naru stood there in shock for a second as did everyone else.

Mai was on the ground in a puddle of blood with Naoko hovering above her. There, embedded in the nineteen year-old's stomach was a large and now bloodied knife.

Naru's eyes stayed glued in shock on his girlfriend's unmoving body. She can't be…not her! I won't let her be taken from me like Gene was!

Something inside him snapped. Things started flying around the room. Lin didn't scold him like he usually did when he used his powers; he's probably happy I'm using my powers.

Naru heard the cries from the women behind him, calling Mai's name. Ayako, Masako, and Madoka were all being held back by the others as they tried to run to the bloodied girl's side.

Bou-san, John, and Lin knew that if those girls went in there they could be hurt by Naru himself since he had lost his control and the objects that were flying around the room started to pick up in speed.

Naru's eyes became shaded by his hair and he growled to the ghost, "You. Will. Pay."

Naoko smirked and replied smugly, "You won't be able to hurt me this way. The objects will fly right through me."

Naru snapped his head up and glared at the ghost with black eyes. Naoko's face contorted in pain and confusion.

"How? How are you hurting me?! I'm already dead, how can I feel this?!" she screamed grabbing her head. "I'll be back, don't worry! I'll never let you break my curse!" she finished and disappeared.

In a split second all the soaring objects fell to the floor and Naru was by Mai's side. He brought her limp body into his arms and turned to Lin with a desperate look.

"Call and ambulance!"

The Chinese man nodded and quickly dialed for an ambulance while Naru turned his attention back to his motionless girlfriend. He held her close and rubbed his cheek against her forehead as the tears he tried to hold back fell from his eyes.

"Mai don't leave me…please, I don't care if you hate me for not protecting you after this, just as long as you live I'll be fine," he whispered in a broken voice. He could hear her faint breathing and he closed his eyes as tight as he could, trying to make the pain go away but was unsuccessful.

The others looked at the scene before them and they too shed their own tears.

Naoko was going to pay.

(TO BE CONTINUED…cuz I'm evil!
