Hello there readers. Sorry it took so long to post this chapter but school is a pain in the ass, and there was the Matura Exams, which are something similar to final exams but the writing and speaking test are separated. Writing is simple. You get a piece of paper and answer the damn questions. The speaking is a little tricky; you draw the theme of work and you need to speak about it for about 10 minutes then they will ask you some questions. This is all is ONE BIG PAIN IN THE ASS! Seriously, the kind of stupid ass questions they have.

Anyway I finally managed to write down this chapter. I'm sorry for that but you know...life. Anyway on with the chapter.

Extra Stage 2

Part 2

Haunted Hotel

Everyone was stunned and they had a good reason to be; because they were looking at a banner which had appeared from one of Naru's gaps above her and Yukari's head. Everyone except Sakuya and Kurama were surprised. Naru was grinning madly at the confusion of the guests.

"I see you're quite surprised. I would be surprised as well. But come on! Get your shit back together!" Naru shouted with a pout. After everyone had settled once more, Naru started explaining.

"I was going to make this game without this whole farce at the beginning, but you just gave me the perfect opportunity to start it. So let's move to explaining the rules." Naru snapped her fingers and a gap opened above her. From it, a board dropped down with rules written on it. Naru pointed atthe first one.

"I was wondering what game I should pick, and after a long time I decided to choose Haunted Hotel." Naru smiled. Everyone was surprised, some even flinched.

"I would choose a different place and a different game but the author isn't good at comedy so he gave me a script for the Haunted Hotel," Naru explained, showing the script she was holding in her free hand. Everyone sweat dropped.

"She just broke the fourth wall without a second thought..." The same thought ran through everyone's mind. But nobody said anything; they didn't want to further destroy the wall. Everyone shook their head more or less and concentrated on Naru again.

"Back on track. There will be three people as the main heroes of the show," Naru said.

"Wait, three?" asked girl with long black hair and an elegant kimono. Naru nodded.

"That's right. One would be good, but three will be better. Or so author said," Naru mused.

"She did it again!" everyone yelled in their minds. Yukari chuckled while Sakuya and Kurama shook their heads.

"Ano, Naru-san, do you think it's a good idea? I don't think there even is a Haunted Hotel nearby," said Reisen. A few people agreed with her. Naru chuckled.

"Don't worry, there is one. About 50 kilometers from Konoha and about 30 from the nearby city is an old campus used by one clan during the Clan War before the Shinobi Villages were founded. Later it was turned into a hotel but was abandoned due to some stories about ghosts," Naru explained.

Everyone felt slightly uneasy. Naru was quite knowledgeable about this place and they didn't know her in the slightest, so guessing if this was true or not was hard to tell. Except one person with three eyes, but she was quite… If she could help her, maybe they would be on her good side. Because nobody wanted to be on bad side of a youkai who had powerful abilities or were super strong, like Emma or Yuuka.

"What kind of stories?" Youmu asked, visibly scared. Naru thought for a second.

"I guess a whole clan was murdered there, mostly women and children. It wasn't a war camp, only a camp for refugees," Naru said with a finger on her chin. A few people gulped. This place was getting more and more creepy. Naru smiled, seeing how people were getting scared. This game was going to be great.

"Anyway, let's start choosing. Ten people of my choice you will draw lots, people with red sticks are the main heroes of the show, the rest will be stuff. Also everyone else will be stuff as well, helping with traps, scenery and other things. So is everyone are ready?" Naru asked. The guests looked among themselves and after a few seconds of hesitation, they nodded.

"Splendid! I will close my eyes and through a gap, I will pat ten people on the back. Those people will then come forth and then they will draw lots, ok?" Naru closed her eyes and opened a gap in front of her. After a few noises of surprise and relief from those who weren't selected, 10 people were chosen.

Youmu, Reisen, Sanae, Eiki Shiki, Cirno, Marisa, Momiji, Yuuka, Kaguya, Meiling. Those ten girls were chosen. Except Eiki who had a stoic face, everyone was a bit nervous. You couldn't blame them. Naru opened her eyes and gave a surprised look.

"My, my, I didn't expect Youmu and Meiling. And Eiki. That's some really surprising choices I made. Anyway." Naru snapped her fingers and a small box emerged from a gap. Naru grabbed it.

"Now, draw lots and see who is the unfortunate one~" Naru said with a happy voice. They stopped in the middle of drawing lots and looked at her with suspicious, but Naru kept smiling. This didn't help but they drew the lots. After a minute, the Unfortunate Trio was chosen.

Youmu, Sanae and… Eiki Shiki.

Naru looked surprised and placed her hand on her chin.

"Yare, yare~ What a surprise. I guess it will be hard to scare Eiki-sama~" she said with a smile. Again, Eiki didn't say anything, but she gave Naru a stern look. Naru chuckled nervously before she turned to everyone.

"Ok, the three of you will go home and grab your things. Cloths, maybe something to eat. Basic things. The rest will fallow Kurama and Sakuya and get important things. They have a list of them… Me and Kaa-san will need to check few things," Naru said. Everyone nodded and left via gaps made by Yukari.

After everyone had left except Yukari, Ran and Chen, Naru sat heavily on her butt and sighed.

"That was close. I thought Emma-sama was going to kill me with her stern eyes." Naru sighed heavily.

"True. Eiki-san is person with strict morality and hard to get to know, any more than she allows. I think her only friend is Komachi," Yukari mused to herself.

"You mean, that red haired shinigami?" Naru asked curiously, to which Yukari nodded.

"Yeah, how do you know she is shinigami?" she asked. Naru responded.

"I read about her in the Gensokyo Chronicles and also thanks to her aura. Also I think I remember this aura from somewhere but I can't put my finger on it. It's a very nostalgic feeling. Never mind, we should go and prepare the stage for the game." Naru stood up and opened a gap. Yukari frowned slightly before she did so as well.

Old Campus, few minutes later

Two gaps opened, revealing Naru and Yukari. When they emerged, they looked around to see if someone was here. When they were sure no one was here, they entered the old campus. The mountain area was perfectly fitting for the old, abandoned hotel. It was a large, ruined building, with a lot of rooms and even a Hot Spring. It was dry, but nothing Nitori couldn't fix.

The rooms for sleeping were large and could easily fit five people and still have a lot of space. The roof had holes in it but it was in better shape than they had thought. The floor had seen better days, unfortunately. After inspection, Naru and Yukari opened a large gap revealing the rest of guests with various tools and materials.

"Alright everyone, this building needs to be fixed so it won't fall apart but will still look like it's old. Yuugi, you and people of your choice will fix the roof. Nitori, the Hot Spring and kitchen is your and kappa's duty. Kanako your job is the floor. The rest will take care of decoration. Come on! Let's make this into a perfect place to scare someone!" Yukari shouted and threw a fist in the air. People also cheered but less enthusiastically.

Miraculously, the renovation went quite fast. The problem was the decorations but after a few hours, everything was done. Everyone was looking at the now creepy and scary hotel.

"It sure is scary."

"Just looking at it gives me chills."

"Ahhh… I want to go home..."

"It reminds me of one of the abandoned buildings in Former Hell..."

Everyone had mixed expressions about the building, but overall they were happy about their work. Also, while they had been renovating, they had placed some traps here and there. This was going to be a (good?) show. Then Naru and Yukari ordered those gathered to prepare decorations for later use. After they had ordered everything, they disappeared to get the main heroes of the show.

Few hours later, Naru and Yukari emerged with Eiki Shiki, who was wearing her job clothes. Yukari tried to convince her to wear something else, but one glance from Eiki made Yukari stop trying. Sanae and Youmu were also wearing their casual clothes. Apparently they preferred those cloths,probably because they were more comfortable. Naru didn't bother reasoning with them.

Right now they were standing before the Hotel. Eiki looked around.

"I'm surprised how well you renovated it. 75 points," she said and went inside. Naru chuckled nervously and went after her.

"What do you think they have prepared?" Sanae asked Youmu.

"I don't know, but I have a bad feelings about this," Youmu whispered to Sanae, who nodded.

"Ok, come on you two. We need to catch them and show you your room," Yukari said. Sanae and Youmu nervously nodded and went inside.

The inside looked pretty normal. Wooden walls, floor, some flowers there and there. A traditional hot spring full to the top. Eiki was calm and by looking at her, you could tell she would be hard to scare. Youmu was visibly nervous and Sanae was also nervous, but less visibly so. When they reached the reception, they saw Kurama wearing a pure white yukata with her fox tails nowhere to be found. Her hair was made into a high ponytail, bringing out her natural beauty.

"Welcome to the Fee Spirit Hot Spring. I hope you enjoy your stay," Kurama said with a calm voice and a gentle smile. Youmu and Sanae blushed slightly because of Kurama. Well men probably would get an erection in their place.

"I hope so. Is there a free room for us?" Eiki Shiki responded. She motioned to herself, Youmu and Sanae. Kurama looked at the book and smiled.

"We have a free room for you. Please wait a second," Kurama said and rang a bell on her desk. Soon after that, Sakuya emerged from the back door near reception. She was wearing a gray yukata with a mountain on the bottom.

"Sakuya-san please show our guests their room. It's number 11," Kurama said. Sakuya nodded and looked at the trio.

"Welcome and please fallow me. Do you need help with your luggage?" The trio shook their heads.

"Well then, enjoy your stay. Me and Kaa-san will leave you be, so take a rest and relax." And with that Naru and Yukari left. Shiki Youmu and Sanae were lead to their room by Sakuya. When they disappeared behind the corner, Kurama pulled out a walkie-talkie.

"Targets are in. Operation Haunted Hotel start. Over," she said.

"Copy that. First trap will start in 15 minutes. After that the illusion will fall. Over and out," Naru responded. Kurama hid walkie-talkie and left reception.

The Trio walked into the room which Sakuya had lead them into. It was a large room with a few posters made with traditional techniques, although Sanae noticed that one was different. It was showing a woman in white clothes with hair covering her face. The skin was grey with a hint of greenhere and there. Overall the girl or woman looked creepy and the background wasn't helping either.

The dark forest was just shouting it's creepy and scary. Sanae gulped and pointed at the photo.

"Oi… don't you think this photo is creepy?" she said to the rest. Youmu and Eiki stopped unpacking their things and looked at Sanae curiously. They walked to her.

"What photo?" Youmu asked.

"This one, over...here?" Sanae looked back but… there was no photo. Nothing, like it hadn't been there. Not even a nail hole. Just a blank wall.

"Eh, Eh, Eh… Strange, I clearly saw a photo here… did it disappear?" Sanae wondered. Eiki just shook her head.

"You must be tired. We will go and rest then we will visit the Hot Spring here. We must be careful; we don't know what to expect from Yukari and her daughter," Eiki said, earning nods from Youmu and Sanae. Sanae once more looked at the place where the photo had been but she decided to change her clothes to something more fitting.

Youmu went to the bathroom which was near their room. She walked through the corridor which was giving her chills. They were perhaps the only people here; maybe that's why. Excluding the noises from her footsteps, there was silence. Youmu gulped slightly, looking around nervously. The light was weak and it was making the corridor creepier. Her ghost half was flying near her to give her at least a small amount of comfort.

"Don't worry, nothing should jump on us right?" Youmu smiled to her ghost half which respond with a small pulse of energy.

"I know we should be careful, but Naru wouldn't be so mean, right?" she asked. The ghost only responded with a small pulse. While walking, Youmu turned left to the bathroom. It was a normal bathroom with cabins. The floor was covered with white tiles. The walls were painted in a pale blue color. It would give a calm feelings if not for the fact the light was barely shining and it was night outside. Everything combined was giving out a rather nervous atmosphere. Youmu tried to ignore it and went inside one of the cabins to use it.

Youmu sighed, wandering how she should feel about all this. She couldn't relax properly knowing that this was all just a game made by Naru. She sighed.

"I want to go home..." Youmu whined to herself. She finished her business and went to the sinks to wash her hands. Above the sinks was a large mirror along the whole length of the wall. Youmu looked at herself.

"I will get rollers under my eyes with this attitude I have now..." Youmu said. She sighed and turn on the water to wash her hands. After that, she looked at the mirror again and froze. She saw a large man, much larger that herself. It was a brown skinned, muscular men with bandages covering his face except his eyes. Also, half of his head was missing and replaced by gears. The bandages were also on his arms and legs. He had a bell made of an old, white scarf. But what scared Youmu the most was the blade coming from under his hand.

Youmu quickly turned to face the enemy but there was no one there. She looked back at the mirror and saw that the man was closer. Youmu again looked back but the man was nowhere to be seen. She again looked back at the mirror and saw that the man was holding her by the shoulder withthe blade on her throat.

Youmu was frozen. She couldn't even move a finger, couldn't even breath. She felt killing intent from the men. It was overpowering her. She saw the man's empty, hollow eyes. This man was dangerous, he wouldn't hesitate.

The man whispered but Youmu couldn't hear what he said. She only knew he had said something because the bandages on his mouth had moved. Then the man moved his hand with the blade and the mirror was painted in red, followed by a loud scream.

Eiki and Sanae heard screaming coming from down the corridor. They exited the room and ran to the place where the scream had come from.

"That must be Youmu – something has happened to her," Eiki said. Sanae nodded and finally they entered to bathroom. What they saw was nothing they had expected. Youmu was lying on the ground, panting heavily, her whole body covered in sweat. Her skin was white as marble and tears poured from her eyes.

Eiki looked around, looking for something suspicious. But everything was untouched. There was no trace of anything which could cause such a reaction from Youmu. Sanae walked to Youmu and touched her gently on the shoulder. Youmu jumped like she had been struck by lighting and screamed.

"Don't touch me!" She was scared. Sanae looked confused and worried.

"Something must happen here, otherwise Youmu wouldn't be so scared," Eiki said. Sanae nodded. Eiki kneeled next to Youmu and Sanae and stuck her finger out few times in front of her. Youmu looked frighted but she could recognize Eiki and Sanae.

"Emma...sama and...Sanae..." she said before she threw herself at Eiki and started crying. Eiki was confused, not knowing what to do. Sanae just shrugged with a smile. Eiki, still not knowing what to do, tried to pat Youmu. After five minutes, a gap opened next to them, revealing Yukari and Naru.

"Yare, yare… I didn't expect such reaction," Yukari said with a surprised expression hidden behind her fan.

"It seems that the author had some real surprises for you. I think maybe we should end this. Sorry about that. I guess the author has had a nightmare, if the idea could scare Youmu so much," Naru said pointing at Youmu. Youmu looked at Naru and threw herself at her. Naru, surprised, didn't have time to react.

Youmu pulled Naru from the gap and trembling her vigorously.

"How could you?! What if I died?! Why did you do this to me?! You know I'm scared of ghost!? Why did you do this to me, WHY?!" Youmu was shouting at Naru. She wanted to explain that it wasn't her idea but the author's but Youmu wasn't giving her chance.

Yukari sweat dropped.

"I guess… I will need talk with the author for a bit. I have ordered Ran and Kurama to grab your stuff and take it to your places," Yukari explained. She was going to close the gap but Eiki stopped her.

"As much I don't appreciate such ideas, I must agree. The author need long lecture about his idea. Whatever he came up it was not appropriate. I will come with you but that's not all. I wonder what are you going to do with this place. It clearly could be used from now on," Eiki said.

Yukari thought a little and smiled.

"How about we open this place to public use. We could bring a few youkais here to maintain this place. Part of the profit will go to Naru's account and the rest to maintain this hotel and pay for the youkais who will work here. This also could be used as a private hot spring," Yukari said. Eiki nodded.

Summary

After that they left for the author's house and gave him a long lecture about his ideas for the script. Let's just say that the author will remember to not piss off Yama and Yukari in the near future.

Youmu was ordered by Yuyuko to rest for a few weeks. Yuyuko tried to make food by herself but in the end, she almost burnt down half of Hakugyokurou. But Youmu managed to stop Yuyuko before the fire could touch anything. After that, Youmu tried to teach Yuyuko how to cook, but after making a tentacle monster made from noddles and meat, Youmu forbid Yuyuko to enter the kitchen, much to her displeasure.

Sanae was disappointed because she hadn't been scared at all. The only thing strange that had happened to her was that strange painting. Sometime later, this painting was found in a near village in the Fire country. People said that this picture was haunted. Nobody couldn't tell if this was true.

Eiki returned to hell to judge souls again. Even if she had only gotten a short break which had just a few hours, maybe more, her desk was buried under papers. She spend a few weeks clearing the papers. Excluding new papers which were coming as well. Eiki decided she needed to hire someone to do the paperwork while she was away. Or maybe she could order Komachi to do it. She thought about it a little. And because of this she didn't notice that papers were gathering at her desk.

Ok that's it. I know it short and all, but seriously I don't want to face angry Eiki and Yukari every again in near future. YOU BETTER DON'T and I mean DON'T PISS THEM OFF!

Also I'm sorry for such late update but Final Exams are a PAIN. Once again I'm sorry. I will try now update much faster.

By the way I think I forgot something… Meh probably nothing important. See you guys soon.

Meanwhile in Hot Spring

In one of traps Kogasa was still waiting for her time to scare Youmu or Sanae. Maybe she could scare Eiki-sama if this worked out.

She didn't know but she was the only person in the Haunted Hotel right now. And such circumvent are great for horror. Kogasa won't know what scare her.
