POV: Shibuya Kazuya (Naru)

*SCREAMS*

"H-Hey! Isn't that Hara-san and Mai-chan's voice?" Takigawa yelled.

He run outside the room to the hallway.

*Loud Crashing Sound*

The others came running out of the room and followed Takigawa, who is running toward the scream. I follow after them to the staircase where we found Hara on the ground, shaking in fear.

"Masako?! Are okay? Hey!" Takigawa-san said, shaking Hara.

'I don't see Mai...' I look around.

"What happened to you?!" Matsusaki said, worriedly.

Hara didn't say a single word, just quietly mumble to herself. I took one step and saw a shiny object on the ground.

'This? Can it be...'

"Ah! This won't do! Move it Monk-boy!" Matsusaki said pushing Takigawa aside.

"H-Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" He drop to the ground.

"A-Are you okay, Takigawa-san?" Brown ask.

"Huh? Uh, mm…"

I look around and left the scene and walk toward a classroom.

POV: NONE (Narrator)

Matsusaki slapped both side of Masako's face.

"Wake up! You little-!"

Hara gaps for air and cover her face with her kimono.

"Ouch! That hurts, Matsusaki-san…" She slowly curl her head in her kimono.

"Sorry, sweet heart. I didn't want to wake up the sleeping beauty or anything… But you won't stop yapping about how your face is gone to hell or something," she said dramatically.

"Hey… Are you really a shrine maiden? I mean a nagging old obaaaaa-!"

Matsusaki hit Takigawa's head and pull his ear.

"What's your problem!"

"Shut your mouth!" Matsusaki said, in rage.

"A-Anyway Masako... (*Whispering* What a woman… that shrine maiden... *Whispering*) What happened? We all heard you and Taniyama screaming," Takigawa said.

"Well, to begin with…" She look around and look disappointed.

"Masako-san? Are you okay?" Brown ask.

"Hm? Uh… Excuse me, I don't think I feel like talking right now. I need a moment to myself."

Matsusaki, Takigawa, and Brown look to each other.

"I think it's better to get her outside for now," Brown whispered to Matsusaki and Takigawa.

"Fine with me. But we should look for Mai-chan. Poor girl… She must have been scared. Not that her boss cares," Matsusaki whisper back, shaking her head side to side.

"Speaking about Shibuya-san… Where had he gone to? I was sure he was here with us a moment ago," Brown said, looking around.

"Who cares about him! You two go look for Mai!" Matsusaki said ordered.

"Sheesh! Okay, okay! Come on, John! Before the obaba begin to grow horns on both sides of her head," Takigawa said, teasingly.

He took Brown further in the hallway.

"Now then!" Matsusaki said, after Takigawa and Brown left, "We should go outside and deal with those children spirit."

Masako stand up and frowned.

"But now that I think of it… Naru said not to do anything to those ghost," Matsusaki sigh.

"Huh? Na- I mean, Shibuya-san said that?" Masako said surprised.

"Yeah."

"T-Then, I agree with his decision. Matsusaki, we shouldn't do anything reckless."

"So...Why should I do what he says?"

"Well, he's a ghost hunter-"

"Hmph! Ghost hunter? Thats your reason? Because he's a ghost hunter? It that even a real job? I mean, you can say whatever you want missy. But, I can't just sit around and let men do my work! I won't make my monthly bill! ...I accept this job not because so I can listen to a know-it-all brat but to get rid of spirits, do you understand? Not to maintain he isn't the boss of me. So either we continue arguing here and gain nothing or have some progress with this haunted school building," Matsusaki sigh, and start to walk toward the staircase.

Masako cover her mouth with her kimono and sigh, "I never heard of a shrine maiden worrying about monthly bill and such…" she whisper to herself, "Wait! I'm coming with you."

"Oh? Did my sweet talk work?"

"No, I only felt that I could do more helpful things toward those children than you…" She caught up with Matsusaki.

"Grow up," Matsusaki walk a bit faster.

As Matsusaki speed up, Masako look a bit upset and uneasy, "...Besides, staying here won't help the solution get better… After all, I had this feeling for quite some time now… That we should strike the center...which caused all of this mess… But I think we won't stand a chance… So, please be careful… I think that's way it took you," Masako whisper, looking back at the classroom farther in the hallway and turn her head to the left and had a terrifying chill, "A-And there's him… A horrible monster… Maybe."

"Masako! Are you coming?" Matsusaki asked, from the staircase.

Masako walk as fast as she could to the stair.

building and while Takigawa and Brown searching for Mai ~

POV: Shibuya Kazuya (Naru)

"On-e! Tw-oo! Thr-re! Fo-ur! Fi-ve! Si-x! Se-ven! Ei-ght! Ni-ne! Ten! Are you really? ...Here I come!" a female voice echoes.

'That voice is Mai's voice… Huh? She isn't in this room? Sigh, really it's like she's playing hide-and-seek! If only she stay still in one place. It can't be help…' I thought, looking around the dark room.

I went for the exit of the room and came across two other doors. I opened the one on the left door and peek in.

'Another dark room?' I closed the door and went to the right door and a short but noticeable breeze blow toward me.

'...And another dark room,' I sigh and went in the room.

Hey? Are you here? ...Oh! You're not! Oh well, must look and look again! I'm coming! (laughing) *Ma's voice*

You won't find me big sister! (Laughing) *A little boy's voice*

Then… Are you here? *Mai's voice*

"Then, again she is playing hide-and-seek with someone or with a ghost to be exact."

Where could you be? *Mai's voice*

'Hm? Sigh, I've been going in circles,' I walk toward a wall where I mark with a chalk with the letters W. 'I wrote this W, before I go any farther in the room. This room is strange. There are many rooms inside one room, once you enter and try to exit, there would be another two doors. A door room which lead you back where you started and another door room which goes on to the next room and to the next room. It seems I've been watch for quite a long time before I came in. That's why I've been going in circles...'

Who are you? *A little boy's voice*

A warm but weird feeling hand touch my shoulder. I pause and quickly turn around and found no one there, just an empty room with a chair in the middle.

'Not good… I don't have time to waste! I need to find Mai now before it's too late! Stupid girl always doing whatever she likes!' I walk faster inside the next dark room on the right door.

"Mai!" I shout inside.

My voice echoed inside the room for a long time as it went strangely silent. A strong gust of wind came toward me, like it was telling me go away now. I just smirk, I know I'll be in danger as well but I keep walking forward. I couldn't shake the thought of Mai, the stupid girl who gets anger easily, easy to fooled, and clueless about every- I stop walking and scan the room.

'Someone is here...' I thought.

GET OUT! A deep thundering voice filled the room.

GET OUT NOW! GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT! Another voice but more female like voice yell.

LET US OUT PLEASE! *Many children's voice*

NO! NO! NO! YOU STAY HERE! YOU MUST STAY WITH ME TILL I KILL YOU! The deep thundering male voice said, happily.

Children cries and yell for their parent's when everything went silence.

L-LUCIO?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? RUN AWAY FROM HERE! NOW! *Female voice*

SISTER, YOU'RE COVERED IN RED? *Little boy's voices*

RUN! *Female voice*

Then, suddenly the room was filled with children in all age screaming, crying in fear, sorrow, and sadness.

RUN, RUN, RUN! *All of the children yell and screamed*

I run inside the room deeper and found Mai, sitting down in the corner of the room.

"Mai! Wake up!" I shake her.

She didn't reply. I open her right eye wide open and look at her pupil, 'No sign of the pupil or any kind of color in her eyes!' I examined, 'But at less she's okay… For now.'

STOP! DON'T TOUCH MY OLDER SISTER! *A little boy's voice.*

'Older Sister?' I thought.

I WON'T LET YOU… I WON'T LET YOU!

The ceiling start to shake and crumble.

'It's getting out of hand...' I look around, "Hey, Mai! Wake up! Don't you think for a second that I'll happily carry you out!" I shake her harder.

"Mm… Uh…What?" Mai said weakly.

She slowly opened her eyes when suddenly a loud cracking sound surround us. *Crack* *Crack* *Crack* Then, pieces of cement start to rain the room and little bits of cement sand fall on my head. I look up to see a big piece of cement starting to crack free from the ceiling. I didn't have time to escape or moved Mai in the side, I shield Mai with my body.

'I can't overuse it or I won't hear the end of Lin…' I thought, as I embrace Mai close to my chest, 'Wait… Cement?'

The piece of cement on the ceiling quickly snap away from the connecting metal wire and…

See ya until chapter V! Which I'll be updating this Sunday hopefully! =) -Jc
