Doll House

ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ AKEMI OTHERS ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ

"Any movement?" Akemi asked as she got inside the base, handing Naru and Lin their tea with Oliver still stuck beside her. Akemi also gave Bou-san and Ayako coffee, both giving their thanks.

Mai shook her head at her sempai's question. "Nothing yet..." Mai was starting to worry, 'If that vase doesn't move then...'

BLAG!

The sudden open of the door made Akemi jumped, the whole crew inside the room turned to see a panting Kana, her eyes lit with fear and worry.

"Come quickly!"

With haste steps, everybody except Lin followed the owner of the house, Akemi nudging Oliver and let herself be dragged by him upstairs— it was fortunate enough that the staircase is wide and held no trouble for them, as practically everybody tried to reach the stairs at the same time and soon they all stopped by Ayami's room and the sight didn't seem to shock most of them— Mai, maybe.

The others stayed quiet in their opinion, for now.

The whole room was a mess, the shelves and wardrobe that at least takes two men to carry was either flipped or moved out to the other side of the room, even the carpet was moved.

'Just what happened here?!' Mai thought in shock as she gazed around the room.

It seemed that only Mai was able to express out her shock as this might have been her first experience of real poltergeisting, "Everything is slanted!"

"I was coming to tuck Ayami-chan into bed, when I saw this!" Kana said, her eyes narrowed at the ruined room before turning to question Naru and the crew. "What's going on? I thought you came here to get this under control!"

"Are you sure the little girl didn't do it?" Ayako, narrowed her eyes at the meek Ayami standing in the middle of the mess, clutching her doll tightly.

Observing the spike of Ayami's feelings, Akemi leaned down and let Oliver comfort the little girl.

"Ayako, a child couldn't simply have done all this mess... The furniture needs at least two grown men to lift one of these things— suggesting that an 8 year-old would be able accomplish such mess in just a few hours is highly unlikely." Akemi spoke up, placing a comfort hand on Ayami's head with a small unnoticeable frown on her lips as she stared at Minnie.

"You're right," Bou-san spoke up, and the girls turned to see Naru and Bou-san inspecting the furniture. "-The furniture is still on top of the carpet, even I couldn't move the furniture if I tried."

"There aren't any signs of anything," Naru added as he inspected the furniture, "-if there were a human who could do this, I'd sure like to meet them."

"I was just saying..." Ayako pouted, regretting ever suggesting such a thing.

"It wasn't Ayami..." Ayami said as Kana took ahold of her hand.

"Uh-uh! It sure wasn't!" Mai bent to pat Ayami, and Akemi kindly smiled but it didn't seem to reach her eyes like it usually did, but all that peace vanished as they heard a scream downstairs.

Mai and the others straightened at the shriek, all of them except Akemi— who this time decided to lag behind and let Oliver carefully guide her through the dark stairs— running down in time to see Noriko standing by one of the living rooms, shaking.

"Noriko-san?" Mai stared at the room in shock, as she caught a glimpse of the cause of Noriko's scream. "-this time everything is upside-down, even the carpet is upside-down!"
