General p.o.v.
Noll was reading the history. In over twenty years the house has had fourty five deaths. All where self inflicted. So this demon likes to drive the people who live in the house to kill themselves. Monk said. That's the way it looks. Noll stated. I wonder why? Did the people have anything in common? Mai asked.
Yes they all worked for the same company and were male. Madoka answered. So this could very well have something to do with there work place. Koujo stated. I'll see who works with Yao's department. Madoka said.
Wait didn't Yao say he was given this house by his boss? Yasu asked. I'll see if he will speak with me maybe he can shine a light on some of this. Madoka stated. I'll drive you their I need to check out the library. Yasu told her grabbing his bag. They left the house.
Koujo's p.o.v.
Two hours later Kiya started to fall a sleep in Mai's arms. Mai laid down on the couch with Kiya on the inside of the couch. I saw that Mai was going to take a nap with Kiya. I took his jacket off the back of the chair and draped it over them. "Soon I'll be doing that for our own son or daughter." I thought to myself.
So Koujo do you have any names you really like? Monk asked. I thought it over for a minute. Well I would like to honor my great grandfather Xing. But I have to talk it over with Mai. Anything for a girl? Ayako asked. Yuming it means jade brightness. It reminds me of Mai. I said with a smile. Your right that sure is Mai. Noll commented.
You guys know I'm not asleep yet right? Mai asked. Well Mai what do you think? Monk asked her. Actually I thought we could do Chinese first name and Japanese middle names. Mai said with her face hidden. Mai was afraid I would get mad about that.
I saw her turtle under my jacket. Mai? Where you afraid to ask me that? I asked rolling the chair over so I could see her face. A little. She half admitted. Mai I'm fine with doing that. I said stroking her hair. She moved the jacket way from her face.
So are you okay with Xing and Yuming? I asked Yes I'am. Are you okay with Michio and Maimi? I don't know. What do they mean? I asked. Michio means man of good path and Maimi means smiling with truth. Mai told me. I got this huge grin on my face. "I already knew what they meant."
Whats with the grin? Mai asked. We just figured out our kids names. Mai the meanings of those names would be. Lin Michio Xing which means, Arising man of good path and Lin Maimi Yuming means, jade brightness smiling with truth.
Oh Kami Their Perfect! Mai shouted with a huge smile. Koujo leaned down and kissed Mai lovingly.
Well that's taken care of. Ayako said smiling. I swear you two were meant for each other. Monk stated. Their both beautiful names guys. John said. Noll turned to them. They will fit your kids well. Noll said with a smile. Mai go ahead and take your nap. While its quiet. I told her. She nodded and relaxed into the soft couch.
Mai's p.o.v.******************
I awoke in the astral plane. Gene pulled me off the floor. Congrats Mai. He said pulling me into a tight hug. I hugged him back. Oh Gene I've missed you. Did you know I was pregnant? I asked him. He just smiled at me. You did you little shit. I said to his in English. He laughed hard at my antics.
Mai I have something to show you. He told me holding out his hand. I took it and walked with him till a move like image started to play. There was a woman who came through the door of the house and went up stairs to the master bedroom.
She pulled a effigy doll out of her purse and started to curse the man that I thought was her husband. She hide the doll under the floor boards. Then striped her off her cloths. Then I realized the house was a brothel. The man brutally took her in her rear. She was screaming no. But the man took his tie and gagged her with it. He went at her for hours. By the time he was done she was tied in a ball with the mans shirt. He untied his shirt and slapped her butt hard before he left the room.
The woman smiled and dragged herself off of the bed and retrieved the doll. She then wiped it with the liquid flowing out of her and chanted some more. The scene faded away. Sorry but you had to know. So was it just that man or was the curse meant for everyone who enters the house. Gene smile and told me to tell Koujo congrats for him.
I woke up in base. Kiya was gone. I sat up and looked around. Koujo was sitting in the computer chair holding Kiya. He turned to face me. Gene says congrats. With that Noll was at my side in secants.
I told them both what I saw in the vision. Noll, Koujo and I went to the room. I pointed at the floor board. There its under there. I told them. Noll and Koujo removed the board and found the doll and a spell book that were underneath.
We brought it back to base and had Sebastian examine it. He opened it and handed it to Koujo. Koujo went through every page. Yasu and Madoka came back an hour later. They didn't find much just more deaths and all of them that were killed where men.
General p.o.v.
This spell book is not spells but curses. Who ever this women was she hated men. Koujo told the group. Well in the dream he was brutal to her as they had sex. I said. This place was a brothel for the red light district for a good fifty years and there was no records of the women who worked there. Yasu stated to the others.
Madoka did the boss of the company give you any clues. Noll asked. No. But the employee's that I spoke to think that he gives this house to employee's who are form the Chinese branch to kill them off. There have been six death and fifteen people quit and went home. All because of this house. None of the employees would ever step foot in this house.
I did talk to the friend of Yao's her name is Nen she told me that they were seeing each other romantically when all this started at the house. She did her best to convince him to move in with her. But his moods were changing so he refused. Then attempted suicide. She was the one who found him and put him in the hospital.
He was fine till he came back to this house a few days later. She was attacked. She told him if he still wanted their relationship he had to move. Because this house would be the death of him if he didn't. He never spoke to her after and that was two weeks ago. Madoka told the group.
At least someone tried to help him. Monk said. Yeah but men are stubborn and he probable was in denial of how bad the situation really was. Ayako stated. Is that a crack on men? Monk asked her. No it like the old saying goes. "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink." Ayako told him.
Well we have her curses. Do any of them match whats been going on? Yasu asked. Two but from what Mai told us she used both. Reversing one is easy but two is tricky. Koujo answered. Not to mention we still have a demon after us. Koujo asked the shikis. Could you all detract the demon so Mai and I can remove the spells. He received a we'll do our best.
We'll try to be quick. Koujo replied. Claude stated he would go with them. They all left. Mai we need to do this fast. She nodded at Koujo. We both chanted at the same time. As we finished Koujo used fire and burned the doll to ash. The shikis came back and said the demon was gone. But they encountered a very mad female spirit.
So we've got more to deal with. The shikis had a run in with a mad female spirit. Mai told the others. Well John, Monk, and Ayako your up. Who wants to go first? Noll asked them. I will. Monk said. Mai rest. Ayako ordered. The baby needs it. Mai laid down on the couch and started to fall asleep.
Ayako sensed the spirit in the bedroom they found the spell book and doll. I started his mantra. She turned and tried to attack but Ayako's charm prevented it. I continued. She was in pain and tried to leave the room. But she was met by Koujo's shikis. Finally she gave up and turned into yellow light and was gone. John said a pray throughout the house.
Mai woke to the house feeling light and pleasant. Kiya was sleeping next to her peace fully. Koujo was resting on the chair next to them. Mai sat up and kissed Koujo's forehead. He opened his eyes wrapped his arms around her to bring her into his lap. You need more sleep. He told her. No I'm fine. Why don't you lay with Kiya. I can sleep on the way home. She told him. He nodded and took Mai's place on the couch.
Mai got the wires all wrapped up and the light stuff ready to be loaded. Noll shook his head at her. Mai you said you would take it easy. I'am. I didn't lift anything. She told Noll. Good. Because if you were to miscarry. Koujo would kill me. He told her taking down the monitors.
Noll I'm worried about him. He made me use his energy instead of my own. So he's supper tired. If he keeps that up on cases. It can damage his health. Mai told Noll. Don't worry we won't let him. He told her.
The others came in and started to hull everything out to Koujo and Noll's SUVs. They were on their way home in an hour. They put everything away. Then said their goodbyes and wet home to sleep.
