"Hmmm? It's really dark… I can't seeanything… Hello? Ayako? Weird… No one's replying… Eh? What's that? I have to go closer and…"

Eh? It disappeared? This is really not good. Can't sense anything at all. This really gives me the creeps. Not to mention, I suddenly remember that movie we watched. It's your entire fault Yasuhara-san! Gosh, I can't really see anything except…wait…except? I…I can see myself clearly…wait wait wait! This feels like déjà vu. Let me remember…. This happened before… yah, I'm sure of it. It really did! But, when and how? Weird. How come I really can't recall? Urghh. Stupid brain of mine! Simple as recalling, you can't even do? Uwaaaaaa. This really is the worst. Ah! Now that I mention it, how did I end up here? Oh yeah, I was sleeping… so, naturally, "he" should be here! But, how come "he" aint?

"Naruuuuuuu! Hoy, Naruuuuuuu! Answer me! You're here aren't you? Heyyyyyyy!"

Weird. How come he's not answering? Normally he would just appear like a bubble. Damn him. Why can't he be here at a time where I really need him? Gaaaahhhh!

Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh…

"Huh? What's that? That, was definitely a strange sound. No mistake! Oh my God, don't tell me something's here. Please! Spare me that! We're supposed to be on vacation. How come I have to experience this? I'm supposed to be sleeping comfortably in that king sized bed, and yet…. What luck!"

Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh…

Uwaaaa… there it goes again! And it even was longer than before… I should have to wake up. SOMEBODY wake me up! Please please please please! I don't want to get stuck here longer. Wake me up, ASAP!

GO AWAY! GET OUT IF THS HOUSE! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! GO AWAY!

What?

SLAP!

"Mai! Wake up, will you?" the worried miko woke her up. Her hands, painful because of the slap she gave to Mai.

Apparently, she… Mai, was having a terrible nightmare. She was throwing herself all over the bed and making loud noises. Ayako woke up from the noises and noticed that Mai was doing that. Worried, she went over and tried to call her, yet no response. She tried again, and still no response, then she decided to forcefully wake her up and successfully did it at her fifth time.

"Hey, don't tell me that because of that movie we watched you got nightmares Mai. I did notice that you got really scared by that. Hey! Are you listening?"

"Ayako, I really had a weird dream…" Mai said to the priestess.

"Weird dream? Don't you always have those?" Ayako asked her back.

"That is, well, it's weird because it's unlike my unusual dream. "He" should be there, but "he" wasn't. And that made me really worried." She answered.

" 'He'? Who is "he"?" Ayako noticed that and was curious.

"Ah! Oh my gosh, I slipped! Never mind that, the scary thing is that I heard really scary sounds…"

Ayako caught this interesting, asked, "What kind of sounds?"

"They go "Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh… Screeeeccchhhhh…" she tried to imitate the sound as close as possible.

"So? Is that all?" asked the miko.

"No, actually just before waking up, I heard someone saying that we are not welcome here. As if that person wants us to get out of here. That was what made me really scared. I mean, or rather, does that mean that someone else, a spirit or ghost is living here? When I opened my eyes at that dream, it was all black. As in pitch black, and I can only see myself, nothing else. No sound or anything. I couldn't even hear my own echo when I tried to scream… But I since I was talking in my head, I don't know for that part. It was really creepy Ayako… The sounds, the second time I heard them, it was twice longer than the first, then I started freaking out and then that's where the part where I heard someone say that we're not welcome. Obviously, it was scary right? I mean, that wasn't normal for you to have a dream like that especially when we are here, in a rest house which is not ours."

"Okay okay. You don't seem that freaked out so much. So, what I'm really interested is that someone said that we are not welcome here and that we should go away. Though I'm also interested about who that "he" she was talking about. Anyway, if I believe right away that dream of yours, surely, it is totally in timed with our vacation here and that's what really is weird. Perhaps there is something here that we haven't noticed. Well, everyone's still asleep, we should just tell them that when morning comes. Just go back again to sleep if you can, okay? Come, we'll sleep together, that way you'll be at ease, ne?" nicely said by Ayako.

Mai agreed, and then went to the bed of Ayako, this time she slept soundly. Before falling to sleep, Mai was in deep thought about who was the person who said that and why Naru didn't appear in her dream. Then, as usual, morning came. They woke up and went down to eat except for Mai, who seemed to have overslept.

"Oy, Ayako, where's Mai?" Bou-san asked.

"She's still asleep. She had a weird dream last night and woke up in the middle of the night." Ayako replied.

"What?" Yasuhara and John asked.

"Like I said, she woke up in the middle of the night because of a weird dream." She said again.

"Then isn't that a nightmare?" Yasuhara asked.

"True. But she was the one who said that it was a weird dream. So, I just said what she mentioned to me last night." Ayako added.

"If that's the case, then we'll just wait until she wakes up, right Shibuya-san?" John said.

Naru only nodded and continued eating.

"Well then, let's continue eating. Masako-chan will be arriving later after all." Bou-san said to them.

Yeah, and ask her if there's something here. Ayako thought.

After an hour, Mai woke up. She went down and saw Kahia.

"Eto, Ohayou gozaimasu Kahia-san. Is everyone finished eating?" Mai asked.

"Yes Taniyama-san. You are the only one left, though I did hear that another companion of yours will be arriving today. I do wonder if she has eaten already." A concerned Kahia said.

Wow. Never expect him to be this caring. Well, this is his job, but I'm glad that he thinks of other people's well being. He's a good person, that I'm sure. Although about last night's happening, I'm still worried about that. Well, I might as well eat my portion of the day!

"Taniyama-san, I shall go and prepare your breakfast, please do wait here for a while." Kahia said.

Mai just nodded in agreement.

Screeeeccchhhhh…

What the? It's the same sound as in my dream!

"Taniyama-san? Is something the matter? You look different." Kahia asked her out of concern.

"Oh, ahh… no, I mean, nothing's wrong. By the way Kahia-san, have you heard a weird sound?" Mai asked.

"Weird sound? Like what, Taniyama-san?" Kahia asked back.

"Yes, weird. Sounds like 'Screeeeccchhhhh…' have you heard that?"

"No, I haven't. I'm sorry, but why are you asking that Taniyama-san? Is there something wrong with that?" Kahia answered back.

"Uh, no. Not really. Perhaps it was my imagination. Hehe. Oh, have you eaten Kahia-san? If not, you can join me!" Mai cheerfully said.

"Yes I have. And Taniyama-san, also we are not allowed to eat with the guests. That is a strict rule by Madam." Kahia promptly said to Mai.

"I-is that so? Ahaha. Sorry!" she immediately said.

Huh? Madam? If I'm not mistaken, she's already dead right?

"Kahia-san, isn't the wife of Wokamino-san dead already?" Mai asked out of curiosity.

"That is, Chiwako-sama was Wokamino-sama's first wife. Wokamino-sama had to remarry in order to have a child that will succeed him." Kahia answered.

"Was that it? I see. I understand. I'm sorry. Haha. That got me confused there."

"Yes. Well then, I'll be taking my leave." Kahia said.

"W-w-wait! Uh, if you don't mind, can you please stay with me until I finish? I'm sorry for being selfish, but I don't want to eat alone for now. Please! I beg you Kahia-san! It'll be bad if I hear that creepy sounds again alone here." Mai said while clasping her hands together with an 'I beg you' look.

Taken aback by her look, Kahia agreed and stayed with Mai until she finished. After a few minutes, she finished eating and accompanied Kahia to the kitchen and forced to help him despite how he refused. Finishing all those, she went to where the others are. She noticed that Naru is still reading that book that he was reading yesterday. Lin was with him as usual, and the other guys are together. She approached them and she caught everyone's attention. They were giving her a look of 'are you okay?'

Ayako, definitely told them about what happened last night, otherwise they won't be showing these expressions. Mai thought.

"Uhmmm. Good morning! How was your sleep guys?" she asked them with the intention of ignoring their look at her.

"Mai, will you tell us what happened to you?" Bou-san demandingly told her.

"Fine. It's like this…"

And Mai told them her story. On the other hand, Masako just arrived. When she was approaching the house, she felt incredibly nauseated.

"What's this? What a creepy mansion. Just how did they end up in this kind of place?" Masako said then she noticed that something ominous was at the second floor mansion and the rose garden.

"T-t-that's….!"
