Synemyoa: Oopsie!! Forgive me!! I totally forgot to update… *sad*
Neko: I am also at fault for not backing you up on this. We're partners after all.
Synemyoa: Well, that was because you were busy with a lot of stuff, Jackie. As for me, I'm simply too forgetful!
Neko: *sigh* It can't be help. But I think they understand. Let's just get on with it. *smile*
Synemyoa: *clears throat* As always, folks… we don't own Ghost Hunt! This may be a little short but… enjoy! *giggle*
IT'S COMING…
Everything's going too fast. We just arrived and this happens... So horrible. Mai thought. Aimi's mother had fainted after seeing the blood gushing out of her daughter's hands because of clawing the wall. Her stepfather was very worried as well, not only about Aimi but also his wife.
"Mai, we need to hurry and set up the equipment. John, Yasuhara, can you help her with the heavier ones? Lin and I have business to attend to." Naru said, giving out his orders, urgency evident in his voice. Even he seemed shaken up by what has happened, considering they just arrived and only a few minutes had past when the incident occured.
"Yes, we understand. Let's go, Mai-chan, John." Yasuhara said pushing the two towards the door.
Meanwhile...
Ayako and Bou-san went outside, to the garden and set down Aimi near the largest tree there. Lin-san had put her to sleep awhile ago using one of his techniques.
"I'll use only this tree for this exorcism. I might need the others when things go bad so I better save them for later use."
Ayako said calmly.
"Don't screw up, okay?" Takigawa said in a teasing manner.
"Shut up, just stand there and watch." She retorted, clearly annoyed. She glanced toward the limp form of the poor girl and sighed. Then, she took a deep breath and closed here eyes.
"I humbly ask for your aid. Descend upon this unholy place and make it pure. Exorcise this demon as you have so many before. Listen both peacefully and calmly, and speak the Kannon's chant onto our sacred place." She started chanting and a light fog appeared.
The air around her is being purified... She may appear useless most of the time but at times like this, she's really good. Bou-san couldn't help but think as he stared at the miko before him. She looked almost like an ange--- What am I thinking?! Stupid thoughts!
"Our plane is a vast, violent tundra. Gods from all places gather here. Rin! Pyou! Tou! Sha! Kai! Chin! Retsu! Zai! Zhen!" She opened her eyes and smiled triumphantly. I think I just called a big shot tree spirit. There standing before her was a white spirit that looks like an old man with long hair and beard, wearing celestial robes. He went inside the bell and the air became clear.
She took the twig where the bell was tied to and went over to Aimi. She held it up to her head and with a quick swing, the sound of the bell echoed, Aimi opened her yellow eyes filled with hate.
"You foolish humans don't stand a chance! Even if you take care of me now, there are more who will come for this girl, for the other two! We will prevail and find our rightful heiress!" The voice sounded deep, scary, a male voice almost growling. It certainly wasn't Aimi's. Ayako repeated her actions and with one finally swish, the bell rang and the evil spirit disappeared.
She returned the twig to where it was before, clapped her hands as if saying a short prayer of thanks and the bell untied and slipped on its own.
"Good work, Ayako." Takigawa said, patting her on the shoulder.
"Thank you. Now, let's bring her back inside. I'm sure her parents are very worried." She replied.
Takigawa nodded and carried Aimi to the house. Ayako was following behind, walking slowly, taking her time. There's something wrong here. Everything's so... She pulled up the sleeves of her robes a little and saw a long gash of wound starting from her wrist extending to her elbow. Her eyes widened as blood started flowing out of it and then, she felt light-headed. Are they going to come for us too?
