Naomi's P.O.V

I was unable to move an inch, my eyes locked on this red dressed figure. She moved closer to Yoshiki, whom of which still held the passed out body of Mayu. It reached out for her leg not until Yoshiki snatched it out of it's way. "What the hell do you want?" Yoshiki snapped. The figure giggled and turned their hair covered face towards me. I gulped hard as it moved a step closer. "Sachiko!" A voice called out from the side of me. I turned to face the person that shouted out. Seiko seemed scared out of her wits, same with everyone else. Of course, the iconic red dress and long dark hair. Didn't we put her to rest, if so, why is she still here. With what appeared to be Sachiko, stood still and shook a little bit. "Sachiko you little brat, why ar..." Yoshiki stopped. "You really thought that aggravating a malevolent spirit, would get us out of this tight situation." I stared hard at him. "I would listen to her Yoshiki, even though it might be the last thing you hear." "Who said that." Seiko skimmed around the hallway for answers.

The voice echoed through the foreboding hallways, it was female, maybe another spirit. Suddenly, footsteps drew louder as they came closer. A shadow in the distance with no distinctive structure, watched from the darkness. Too afraid to speak my next words, I stood motionless. Who was that? Was it that figure in the distance? Whoever it was, they knew Yoshiki. "Someone that you all know." The voice in the distance whispered. "We don't want to resort to any type of violence, we just want to go and find the other students and get out." A voice from behind me called out softly. Sachiko, who was still staring us down, moved swiftly back into the shadows. She giggled as she made her at back. Unexpectedly, hard footsteps vibrated down the hall. I turned around and saw the gradually getting smaller, silhouette of Yoshiki with Mayu tossed over his right shoulder. "Where the hell are you going!" I shouted. "Come on! Let's go!" Seiko spoke as she grabbed my hand and started to pull me along. His footsteps fainted as he entered the darkness.

The three of us eventually stopped for a few gasps of air. The humidity in this place was incredibly high and it made me sweat abundantly. My hand was still tightly gripped to Seiko's, sweat dripped down from our arms and entered the gaps between our palms, forming a puddle. I released my hand in order for it to get some air to it. "You ok?" Seiko asked before giving me a reassuring smile. "Yeah, I'm ok. It's just really hot in here!" I blew out air from my dry mouth and fanned myself with my hand. "I know, it won't be long until we get out so hold on tight for me." She spoke delicately before wiping her drenched hand on her disheveled, torn uniform to then place her hand on my face. "It'll be ok!" She whispered. I followed her by wiping my hand too and to then hold her hand in mine. "We should get going, Yoshiki could be anywhere." Ms Yui spoke back as she lead us through the darkness. His footsteps could no longer be heard, this gave us the disadvantage to finding him. "Don't do it!" A voice shouted in the distance. "Kishinuma!" Ms Yui called out. Before next, Seiko was once again tugging me by the hand. As we moved further into the darkness, gasps could be heard. My heart started to race frantically as they grew louder. "What is the point!" We turned a corner only for us to meet a new face. "Mo-Morshige!" At least something is going right now. "Stay back!" He barked.

Ok I take that back...what's wrong with him? "Morishige? What's wrong?" I looked into his eyes, they were red and watering. His whole body shaking and his hands clasping a piece of rotting wood. "Morishige! Don't you dare!" Yoshiki sputtered out. "Don't you dare what? Whats going on?" I spammed him with multiple questions. I gazed my eyes to Morishige's shaken state, he was breathing heavily. He took a huge step back, his heels now on the edge of a gigantic hole behind him. "Morishige, get away from there!" Ms Yui demanded. "Mayu's dead! I wasn't there for her and now..." His voice trailed off as he looked behind him, into the perilous hole. "I told you, she isn't dead! Why won't you listen to me?" Yoshiki argued. "Guys, back me up will ya!" Yoshiki shouted towards us. "Yeah, Mayu passed out! She's just out cold." I reassured. Yoshiki, dropped Mayu's slump body down next to the wall, he got up and proceeded towards Morishige. Frightened, Morishige took a swing for Yoshiki. Because of his quick reflexes, Yoshiki managed to duck in time. He stepped away from Morishige, fearing for another swing. "You killed her!" He accused Yoshiki. "He's insane! This isn't him!"

What do we do? He could hurt anyone of us if he really tried, nothing is going to stop him from achieving that. I'm not letting anyone else die because of this mess.

Come to your senses...please.
