Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt

It was quiet at the Nadeshiko house. Sayuri had kept to herself after the spa incident. Everything seem to be normal. Lin, Naru, and Gene were busy trying to find a way to solve the old family curse upon the Konoe family. Even Monk and Ayako were doing their part. John would come over to keep an eye (and ear) on Sayuri. Everything seem to be...calm.

Sayuri kept herself busy, researching and writing. There was that one weekend where she had locked herself up in the office. She said she had an idea for a new book and promise she wouldn't come out until she had it all figure out. Mai and Sho had been worried but progress on the book had to been good. Sayuri would come out, muttered she was okay and what page she was on and return to her work.

What no one knew was that Sayuri was being a busy little bee. Her new novel. One that came to her earlier after she had finished Autumn Ashes. A new story about ghosts and curses. One base off her life. She knew how this novel was going to end. She just didn't know how her own story would end. Sayuri had meetings with Katsuro, talked to her lawyer, drew up paperwork. No one suspected a thing. She didn't want them to find out what she had plan on doing. Sayuri looked up information regarding Satoshi and what he had to do to perform. There were some shady trips to parts of the city that she would never go. Sayuri found the map of the entire Konoe compound from her mother's house.

It was a calm warm day when she finally went about into her plans.

Sayuri spent as much time as she could with Sho and Mai. She told them she loved them very much. They didn't really noticed how she had a distance look in her eyes. Mai figured it was because of the stress. Her manuscript was done. A copy would be left to be giving to Katsuro later. She didn't worry if the gang mess up. She written down instructions about her passing to her lawyer.

Sayuri realized she was horrible at hiding this from her friends and family.

They would talk her out of it.

She had no other choice.

It didn't matter how much she read deep into the notes of her grandfather. It didn't matter how much she research. The only way to break the curse upon her family was by a family member. She would not sacrifice Sho for it. She would make sure he would be able to carry on the family name without her.

It was a warm spring day when Sayuri said she had to go out. She put into matters of calling her lawyer, telling him what to do. Her manuscrpit would be deliever to the SPR office. Lin would receive it. She left letters to all of them, detailing how much she would miss them and how much she love them all.

She left an extra special one just for Sho, Mai, and Lin.

Her family.

Her little family.

It was a warm spring day when Lin arrived at the Natsuma residence. Mai answered the door. He wanted to see if Sayuri was alright. He knew she kept busy to keep herself sane from what had happened. Sayuri would only talk about it in bits and pieces.

He wasn't the only one present. Gene was there along with Naru. Tsubaki had arrived earlier then that to help Mai out with dinner.

"Where is Sayuri?" Lin asked Mai.

"She said she was going out. She said she needed to get some things done." Mai answered.

For a good reason, Lin didn't like that answer. Something wasn't settling right on that. Ritsuke finally came over.

"Are we having a party or something?" He walked up to Tsubaki, placing a kiss on her temple.

"I don't know. I had a feeling to come over," Tsubaki laughed.

"Maybe we should call Monk, Ayako, John, Yasu, and Masako over. Maybe seeing us all together will put Sayuri at ease." Mai suggested.

"I think that's a great idea," Gene grinned.

Naru sighed, "You always think her ideas are good ones."

"Hey!"

"Boys," Lin spoke up before glancing at around, "something's not right. Mai, are you sure everything is okay with Sayuri?"

"Yeah why?" Mai looked at him. The tall Chinese man looked troubled. Something was not right but he couldn't figure out what it was. The answer came clear when Ritsuke's cell phone goes off.

"Detective Satoru."

"Detective," Ritsuke blinked at the sound of Sayuri's lawyer on the other end, "did I catch you at a good time?"

"Uh sure? Is everything okay?"

"I just need to clarify something with you. I'm sure Sayuri would have asked but I haven't heard from her today. I was wondering if you were alright with being the parental guardian for Natsuma Sho? According to Sayuri's last will and testement, I put you down as guardian. Would you be alright with-"

"Uh I'm sorry. I'm what now?" Ritsuke interrupted the lawyer.

"You are the next of kin listed as parental guardian for Natsuma Sho, the adopted son of Natsuma Sayuri."

"I didn't know about this."

"Didn't Sayuri tell you? Oh goodness, well how about I just let you go talk to her then. I thought for sure she had spoken to you on this matter."

"I...I will. Trust me but thank you for calling," Ritsuke swallow. He hung up. His eyes caught Lin's.

"What was that?"

"According to Sayuri's lawyer, I'm next in line to be guardian to Sho," Ritsuke looked at Sho, "hey, did your mama tell you about this?"

"No, why?" Sho asked.

"Shit," was all Ritsuke could say. That's when the front door opened. Monk was dragging Ayako inside followed by John, Masako, and Yasu. Ayako looked like she had been crying with Monk looking ragged.

"Lin, you got to read this," Monk shoved a piece of paper into his hands.

Lin reads the letter silently to himself. That's when Yasu walked up to him. He was holding a letter and a small package. Lin gave Monk back the letter then took the package from Yasu. He shoved it into Naru's hands. Naru opened the package while Lin read the letter.

"It's...a manuscript." Naru read it over, "it's the new novel. It's called Ghost Hunt."

Everyone looked from Naru to Lin who was deeply reading the letter. Only a few words reached out to him. Lin looked up to everyone.

"Sayuri is going to break the curse."

"What?" Mai breathe.

"She's..." Lin couldn't finished the sentence. Ritsuke grabbed the letter from Lin. He was quick to read it before he froze in place. Tsubaki walked over to him, reading over his arm.

"Oh my..." Tsubaki went white.

"She's going to get herself killed." Ritsuke trembled, "she's..."

"Naru, call your mother," Lin spoke up, "we need her to watch Sho." It went quickly and silent as everyone went to prepare to go follow Sayuri. Sho looked worried as everyone was moving about, talking only in brief moments. Lin went back to Sho after Mrs. Davis arrived at the house.

"Sho, I need you to do something for me. Whatever happens, do not follow us. You'll stay her with Mrs. Davis. I need you to be brave, Sho."

"What's going to happen to Mama? Is she alright?" The title 'Mama' made Lin's heart clenched in a vice. Lin hugged the little boy.

"I'm going to get her back for you. She went off and is about to do something stupid. Maybe she already did. I don't know. I just need you to know that Sayuri loves you very much and that..." He couldn't finish as Sho sniffled.

"Be brave for your mama, Sho."

"You promise you'll try and bring her back? You have to. You..." Sho paused.

"I what?"

"I want you to be my Dad. I want you to bring her back so we can be a family. I don't you probably don't want that but you make her happy. You make me happy. We act like a family and...I don't want to lose that." The words that normally wouldn't come out of a eight year old surprised Lin.

"I'll come back with Sayuri. I promise."

"You better," Sho looked up the moment the back door slide opened with a bang. It cause everyone who was moving to stop. In the doorway, in clear sight, was a wounded samurai. His image was faded yet still visible to the naked eye.

Sayuri...is...going...at...the...com...compound...hurry...

"Let's go!" Naru shouted to everyone. Sho stood with Mrs. Davis as the group all got together to head out. Even Yasu and Ritsuke were going. Sayuri wasn't going to do this alone. She had them, her family. Her little but loving family.

"Remember," Lin told them, "keep to the road and try not to do anything stupid."

The road was eerily quiet except for the sound of moaning and whispers. The forest was starting to look dark and cold. Mai saw her breath the moment they reached the compound. Lin motion for Monk to help him removed the wooden bar. It crumbled the moment they tossed it aside. Ritsuke and Yasu pushed the doors opened. Inside, the entire place was crumbling, decaying. A memory of a former glory. Everything look dark and cold with the light playing with the shadows.

"Spread out," Naru instructed.

They called out her name.

"Sayuri!" Mai was the first to find her. She was standing at the pagoda. It had weathered with age. It seem to be the only thing still standing. She had her back to them. Sayuri turned around to see her friends.

"Guys?"

"Sayuri!" Lin, Mai, and Ritsuke rushed forward.

"What...what are you doing there?" Sayuri asked the moment they reached the pagoda.

"You are not doing this!" Lin raised his voice.

"Lin, I have no other choice," the tears were coming back. She had been foolish to think she could walk away without one of them realizing what she was prepared to do.

"Getting yourself kill isn't the answer!" Lin grabbed her by her arms, dragging her down the pagoda to the courtyard.

"We can help you with this," Naru spoke up.

"Don't be stupid. The rest of us had experience with this kind of thing," Gene said.

"And if you do think you're the only one who can do this, think again!" Monk shouted.

"We're prepare to help you break it!" Ayako told her.

"Just let us help you," Mai felt herself crying.

Sayuri trembled, staring at the faces of the people she loved. Her eyes finally landed back on the man that she was in love with. She sobbed. Lin pulled her to him, holding her.

"We can't let you do this alone, Sayuri. We just can't."

"I just don't want him to take you. If he can't have me, he'll have Sho." She hiccuped.

"He's not going to touch either of you. I swear I rather die then see you get yourself kill," Lin pulled her face up so he could see her eyes. Of all the women he ever had in his life, only she could make him feel things that he thought he would never have.

"You need to stay because you're a mother. Sho needs you. Mai needs you..."

"What about you?"

Masako lets out a gasp, falling to her knees. John and Yasu rushed to her side as the medium had collapsed. Tsubaki looked down at the EMF reader she was holding. It was now flashing all green lights. A sudden chill was in the air. John began to pray as Yasu helped Masako up to her feet. Monk began to chant under his breath. Ayako began to chant under her breath too. Mai was pushed behind Gene. Naru looked around. The two large doors creak before slamming shut by themselves.

Sayuri's eyes widen in fear, staring ahead.

"Sayuri...?"

"They're here."

"Who?"

The sound of the ground breaking destroys the silence. Masako let out a scream as several zombie like figures came out of the ground. The positions they were all in formed a large circle around the group.

"Holy shit!" Ritsuke muttered as a guard pop out of the ground. The gray skin corpses were those that Yuri had killed. Their eyes were nothing but red lights.

"Shit! Shit!" Monk back away the moment a zombie monk was behind him.

"Wha..." Mai side swipe away from the priestess.

"The ones that were killed. The ones that Satoshi trapped here. He's using them!" Sayuri pulled away from Lin, "come out you son of bitch! Fight!"

The rest of the gang was having enough trouble as it was with the zombies. Ritsuke finally got fed up and pulled out his gun. Two to the head was all it took. Ritsuke paled when the zombie guard twisted his neck back, giving a ugly toothy grin.

"I thought two to the head always worked," Monk told him as the two men were back to back.

"I guess I need a bigger bullet."

Tsubaki got into action by producing a fireball.

"Everyone duck!"

They did as she did a kick, causing the ball of fire to erupt into a ring. The corpses let out painful screams, backing away from the group.

Mai had fallen over during the fire ball attack, landing near the steps. She looked up to see some wood had fallen over. She might as well protect herself. She ran up the steps to grab a piece of broken wood. The moment she picked it up, Mai looked up to see a pair of dark eyes much like her own staring down at her.

Help us...they're trap...we're trap...

"Wha...what?" Mai saw the ghost was a girl with her eyes but black hair.

It was an all out battle for the team. Sayuri watched as everyone was up against the victims of the Konoe family tragedy. She finally glanced up at the doors. It wasn't long when a noise is heard. The zombies stopped what they are doing. A giant shockwave shots through the compound, knocking everyone off their feet. The moment they could stand again, the zombies were changed. They looked as they did on the day that they had died.

"What just happened?" Yasu looked around.

The SPR gang were still on their toes. The ghosts on the other hand...

"Please you have to stop this," the priestess came forward. She was kneeling in front of Sayuri, begging on her knees.

"You have to stop it," the priest spoke up.

"All that happens is that we continue to suffer," the girl in the dress spoke.

"Sayuri!" Mai got her attention. Everyone does a double take at the two Mai's that came forward. Mai motion to the ghost girl in the kimono.

"This is Ren. Yuri's younger sister." Mai told them.

"Please niece, you have to stop it," the ghost told her, "we'll continue to suffer and suffer. You have to stop her first."

"But how do I-" The two doors creak opened. Everyone turned to watch as the moment they were opened. Everyone saw Yuri standing right under the threshold. Her long beautiful hair was stringy, wet, and decaying. Her kimono was spotted, ragged, and moldy. She lifted her head to reveal a pair of dead eyes staring ahead before they changed into a menacingly yellow. She let out a painful scream as the ghosts are force back into positions. Everyone watched as Yuri came into the compound and proceeded to destroy everyone she loved once again. Sayuri felt her chest tightened as it went in the order she had seen in her dream.

The only difference is the moment she was done with the priestess, she turned to glance at the pagoda.

Lin was standing where Yuri's love once stood.

"You!" Yuri let out a scream, rushing towards Lin. Lin let out a whistle, signaling his spirits. Yuri would normally be cut down but the force of her spiritual energy battled with the ones trying to fight her off.

"Yuri!" Sayuri screamed, running towards the ghost.

"Sayuri! No!"

Yuri turned as she heard Sayuri screamed. Her eyes were filled with madness, unseeing as to what is in front of her.

"Yuri!" Everyone looked up to see Kyo rushing in. But the samurai is struck down by a force. The ghost reappeared the moment they had been 'murdered'.

"Sayuri! Don't do it!"

Sayuri finally was close enough to Yuri the moment the ghost was close to her. Yuri pushed her down. Sayuri slide but got back up. Yuri continued to growl and rage like an animal.

"Yuri! It's me. Yuri, listen to me! You have to listen to me," Sayuri talked to her, leading her away from her friends. Monk tried to intervene but she held up a hand for them to back off.

"She's going to get herself killed."

It was quick. No one saw it coming as Yasu is pushed then punched, throwing the young man across the ground. Yasu spits up blood the moment he landed. Everyone turned to see Satoshi. Satoshi picked up Masako, throwing her towards Yasu. Ritsuke, Tsubaki, Ayako, and Monk all take their stance against the former monk.

"You can't beat me," Satoshi threw his hand across Ritsuke's face. Dark slashes formed on the detective's face and chest. Satoshi kicked him to the side without touching him. Tsubaki tried to use her pyro only to have Satoshi suck it in and use it to throw it back at her. Tsubaki let out a scream the moment the fire touched her. Ayako tried to chant but Satoshi grabbed her by the neck and tossed her over his shoulder. John finally got in to help Monk. The two were shove aside with an invisible hand.

Monk tried to get back up only to get stabbed.

John tries to get up but the chain on his cross is used against him, tying him to the post that he was knock up against.

Gene and Naru shoved Mai aside, using their own abilities to hold off on Satoshi.

"You two have immense power. Which one shall I have first?"

"Go to hell," Gene told him.

"You'll go. You died once. I'll make sure you stay dead!" Satoshi tries to attack Gene but no avail as Lin jumps in to do battle with Satoshi. Satoshi's animal eyes glare at Lin.

"You! You came back! Did you think your little charm would save us? You couldn't even save her! How about I repeat the past and you'll see her die again?"

"Yuri!" Sayuri was trying her best to talk to the ghost but she kept leaping out of the way of Yuri's attacks. Sayuri was finally knock to the ground. She turned to see the katana. The same one that Kyo would take control of. If only she could grab it in time. But Yuri pins her to the ground, hissing and snarling over her.

"Yuri, please...it's me...your neice...I'm Kyo's...can't you see that? Can't you see I'm your family?"

"I have no family! They hated me! They wanted me to die!"

"Yuri, that isn't true...Yuri, they loved you...they did...all of them...they didn't know you were going to have baby..."

The word 'baby' had something flickering in Yuri's eyes.

"Think of your son. He's waiting for you on the other side. He needs his mama...please...snap out of it..."

Yuri had the sword come to her. She unsleath it, holding it above Sayuri's heart. Sayuri knew she had Yuri right where she wanted it.

"They left me. They didn't want me."

"Yuri...I have something to tell you."

Yuri only responses with a mad grin.

"You're dead. Your brother killed you."

The sound of the katana hitting the ground next to Sayuri clattered to resemble the sound of a bell. Satoshi held up his fist only to staggered back. He was holding a hand to where his heart would be. He cough, stumbled.

Yuri stood over Sayuri. Her yellowed eyes were becoming clearer.

"Yuri...I'm Kyo's...please..."

"S...Sayuri..." Yuri gasped, shaking, "Sayuri...my brother...Kyo's..."

"It's alright." Sayuri sat up to the ghost. She was beginning to look like her old self except that she was already dead. Yuri brushed back her hair, staring at the same face that look so much like hers.

"Oh...you looked just like Mama..."

"I have Kyo's eyes...your eyes...Yuri...it's okay."

"What have I done?" The memories all came back, "I was...so unhappy. I thought..."

"Satoshi lied to you," Sayuri felt the hot tears coming down her face, "it's okay. You weren't yourself."

"I...I didn't have any control. I was...I saw the light...and my baby. And then...something dragged me back," Yuri is helped up by Sayuri.

"Sister..."

Yuri turns to see Kyo standing there. She looked down to see Ren holding her brother's hand.

"I'm so sorry!" Yuri rushed to them both, holding onto them. Kyo held his sister, crying. Sayuri smiled through her tears. The family was back. The ghosts were slowly feeling the control go away.

"I never blame you," Kyo told Yuri, "it wasn't your fault. I'm just glad to have you back."

Both siblings turned to look at Sayuri. Sayuri was smiling. But it changed when she felt a pain. She heard both Lin and Mai screamed out. Kyo's face changed immediately. Yuri gasped, covering her mouth. Sayuri looked down at her stomach. She had blood dripping out. Sayuri turned to see that Satoshi had stabbed her with her own katana. Everyone was slipping from her eyes as she felt herself fall.

Lin grabbed her before she hit the ground.

"Sayuri! Sayuri!"

The blood of the Konoe family fell onto the ground. Lin picks her up, dragging her away from Satoshi.

"You monster!"

"Let her die," Satoshi laughed, "let her die so I may have power!"

Sayuri felt the light fading.

"Sayuri, don't die on me. You got to keep your eyes open," Lin told her. Mai hurried to their side, trying to stop the wound. Sayuri looked at him.

"Lin..."

"Easy, take it easy. Keep your strength."

"Lin, I'm dying."

Lin looked as the woman he loved was fading away, "No...don't leave. You have so much more to offer here..."

"They...know I love them." she took a breath, "just want you to know...I...I'm in love...with you."

Sayuri saw Lin and Mai's faces for the last time before her eyes close. It wasn't long when someone was poking at her.

"Hey! Hey!" The female voice sounded annoyed, "what the heck are you doing here?"

"I'm dead," Sayuri opened her eyes. Everything was misty and gray and funny looking. Especially the woman in the blue hair and pink kimono. Wait, blue hair? Sayuri glanced at the strange woman holding a boat oar. The woman didn't look too please to see her.

"Uh..."

"Listen here missy! It's not your time yet! You're suppose to die a cranky old woman. Not this old! Gah, so much paper work I'm going to have to do! Gah, go back."

"Go back but...I thought if I die, the curse is lifted."

"No...stupid. Just because blood is split doesn't mean death is always the answer," The woman looked at her before smiling, "you still have a lot of living to do. Sayuri right? I heard a lot about you. Especially from a little girl who pass through here not too long ago. Sayuri, you still have a lot of living to do and right now, your friends need you to go kick that guys ass. Don't worry, we have a special place just for him. Stupid mortal and them messing with the powers to be. Don't you guys realize that it comes with warning labels? Now, go, your dear aunt Yuri is going to heal you and you're going to wake up..."

"Wait, before I go, who are you?"

The blue hair woman chuckled. She got on her oar as it floated in mid air. Sayuri gaped as the woman did a circle around her.

"I'm the Grim Reaper. Have a nice day."

A snap of a finger and Sayuri wakes up gasping for air. Everyone turned to see that Sayuri was getting up. Yuri had hover over her. Sayuri looked down at the bloody hole left in her t-shirt. A strand of red hair falls in front of her face. Her hair dye was gone? Sayuri got up as Satoshi had her friends in a hold. Her body had been left on the pagoda as Naru and Gene did battle with the evil ghost.

"Hey Satoshi!"

Satoshi turned to see Sayuri alive and well.

"Wha...what? That's impossible! You're suppose to die!"

"Not everyone has to live by your rules!" Sayuri walked down the pagoda.

"No...no! I'm suppose to be the most powerful! Me! Me! I won't have it! I need this! You have to die or else how will you pay?"

"Shut up!" Sayuri screamed at him, "you leave my friends and family alone! All you have done is cause sorrow! And for what? Revenge because you weren't Daddy's favorite? You're so selfish Satoshi! Go to hell!"

"Fine but I'm taking you all with me!" He shots a black beam of dark energy up into the clouds causing a storm. Sayuri runs over to Kyo who stands there, watching his brother.

"Kyo...you have to stop him."

"I've tried." Kyo looks at her.

She couldn't believe how alive he looked.

"You have to make a decision, Kyo." Sayuri touched his shoulder, "you're the only one who can finished this."

Kyo stared at the man who he thought was his brother.

"I can't do this alone," Kyo whispers to her.

"I'm right here, Grandfather," Sayuri felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Lin. Sayuri looked up.

"Lin..."

"Do what you have to do to stop him."

She nodded.

No one can stop me! No one shall be able to be as powerful as me! I shall rule over the dead! I shall be unstoppable! Are you proud now father? Who is your favorite son now? Who is your- Satoshi felt a stabbed of pain in his chest. Sayuri had thrust Kyo's sword forward, stabbing Satoshi in the chest. The sword glowed. Sayuri let of the sword. Satoshi tried to move but found he couldn't. Sayuri back away as the rest gather close.

"No...no...you...you can't..." Both living and dead gathered around.

"No! No! I won't! No! You can't stop me! I'm invinc-!" The sword surge with light as the ghost all disappeared, using their own energy to possess the sword. Satoshi felt something cracking within him. The sword handle was grabbed by Sayuri as Kyo's voice is heard in his head.

I won't let you hurt anyone else, ever again brother. Including yourself.

Sayuri gives the sword a tug. The moment the sword is out of Satoshi's body, Lin grabbed her the moment the ghost exploded from the ball of light that force him into a thousand pieces. Everyone dropped from the explosion. The dark clouds burst with the sound of thunder. It echoed until there was nothing left but the evening sky. The compound was peaceful.

"Is it over?" Yasu sat up, brushing the dirt off his glasses.

"Ow," Ritsuke grumbled.

"Hosho?" Ayako moved to help Monk up.

"Hey Ayako," Monk held onto her. The priestess sniffled, holding on to him. She lead him to the steps to let him sit. Masako and Naru helped John out of his binds. Mai got up to help Gene who had used his body as a shield. Ritsuke was helped up by Tsubaki. She touched the scratch on his cheek.

"It's going to leave a nasty scar." She frowned.

"Battle scars. It be a great story for the kids one day," Ritsuke chuckled, kissing her on the cheek.

"Lin?" Sayuri sat up, helping the Chinese man from the ground.

"Are you alright?" He asked, grunting.

"I'm okay. Are you?"

"I'll be fine," Lin brushed the dirty from his pants. He finally got a good look at her before wrapping her up in his arms. "I don't ever want you to do that again."

"I won't. I don't want to," Sayuri sniffled.

Lin touched her red locks, "did you mean by what you said?"

"That I love you? I do," She sighed, "I'll understand if you..."

Her words faded the moment he kisses her. Everyone gives a collective 'aw' except for Naru who just makes a face. Masako attends to his scratches before placing a shy kiss on his cheek. Mai smiles. That's when something catches out of the corner of her eye. The ghosts from before looked...

"Sayuri," Said woman looked up to see Kyo, Yuri, Ren, and the others looking happy and alive as they were a hundred years ago.

"Thank you," Kyo told her.

Sayuri couldn't stop the tears as she rushed up to him. Sayuri pause a second, staring at the samurai. She reached her hand out slowly. Her hand touched skin. Sayuri looked puzzled, causing Kyo to laugh. He wrapped his arms around her, hugging her. Kyo shook with tears, holding his granddaughter. His many times great-granddaughter.

"I'm so proud of you," Kyo spoke, tears coming down his face.

Sayuri looked at him.

"You were the one who could do it even though I couldn't," Kyo sighed, "you truly are a better warrior then I."

"Only because you were there for me," Sayuri sniffled.

"Kyo!" Everyone turned to see Sho running towards them. Sayuri felt her heart bounce. She rushed forward, kneeling down to scoop her son into her arms.

"I broke my promise! The moment the black cloud left, I ran for it!" Sho cried as he hugged his mother.

"It's okay baby, it's all over with," Sayuri held onto him.

"So the curse is broken?" Sho looked at her.

"Yes, baby, it is." Sayuri stood up so Sho could see Kyo. Sho looked at the samurai before breaking out into a run. He rushed up to Kyo, hugging him. A family reunion as Sayuri hugged her two aunts. The other ghosts smiled before each of them glanced up to the heavens. A bright light forms around each of them, letting them finally move on in life.

"Brother, it's time." Ren spoke up.

Kyo gave one last look at his descendants.

"Brother, you did well." Yuri smiled.

Ren turned around to see a bright light waiting for her. She rushes after it. She paused though, turning to see the SPR gang. She gives a wave, "Thank you!" After that, she disappears into a ball of light.

"Sister, let's go home." Kyo takes her hand, leading her to the pagoda. Sayuri could have swore she saw a tall stranger waiting for them. Kyo gives one last goodbye, waving. With that, the two siblings joined their friend and left within a breeze.

There was nothing but quiet after that.

"Well," Mrs. Davis speaks up, "that has got to be the biggest case any of you have ever done. So what do you planning on doing now, SPR?"

"Vacation!" Tsubaki gets up, "that's it! I'm done! I'm done for the week! For the entire month! No more ghosts! Nothing! I want to go to the beach! I want sun! I want something!"

"I like that idea," Ritsuke agrees with her.

"That doesn't sound too bad," Monk wipe his eyes, hugging Ayako, "what do you think, beautiful?"

"I think you're a bonehead but I agree. A vacation wouldn't be so bad."

Everyone turns to look at Naru. The boy was in deep thought over the entire incident.

"I think vacation wouldn't hurt."

"Vacation!" Sho perks up, "can we go on vacation, Mama can we?"

"Long as a certain someone comes with us," Sayuri turned to look at Lin. Lin gave a small smile and nodded. Everyone walked away from the compound. Some hand in hand. Other was chattering wildly over it. Sayuri had one hand with Lin's and the other with Sho. The curse was gone and she had her family back.

"Sayuri," Mai perks up, "since the curse is broken. What are you going to do with the old compound?"

"Oh, I have an idea."

Next chapter is the epilogue so just hold on for a little bit longer.
