Trouble

Chapter 20

No One's P.O.V

As John prepared for an exorcism, Mai and Masako go to find Riko. They were going to try and talk her into passing over. They didn't want her to suffer. Masako and Mai found her in Ayano-chan's room. "Riko-chan?" Mai called out to her. Riko looked at the two, causing the both of them to shudder. Mai couldn't see her, but she could feel Riko's stare. "We just came to talk. You have to pass over, if you don't you're going to be put through a lot of pain." Mai said sadly. "Masako and I don't want you to feel that pain. We found out what happened with your father and how awful he was to you. So, please, Riko-chan. Please pass over so you can be finally free from this pain." Masako frowned when Riko shook her head.

"She doesn't want to." Masako said to Mai. "I think she's refusing to."

"Why? You wouldn't suffer anymore." That didn't seem to bode well with Riko as knocking sounds started up. Masako and Mai began to slowly back out of the room. Riko wasn't going to have that as the room started shaking and a book case fell in front of the door. The two screamed in surprise. They were trapped. Now what were they going to do? Naru was going to be very upset with them.

"YOU CAN'T MAKE ME LEAVE THIS HOUSE!" Mai suddenly heard. She looked around the room wide-eyed. Was that Riko? She sounded very angry. It didn't take long for Naru, John, and Ayako to show up. John and Naru moved the book case out of the way with a little difficulty.

"Do it now, John." Naru ordered. John nodded and got to work. He pulled out his Holy water and started.

"Our Father, which art in Heaven, I pray thee, God to take pity on us, and bless us, and let thy face shine over us. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." John said as he sprayed Holy water all over the room. Riko gave a scream before she just vanished. All the knocking sounds and shaking came to a stop and it was dead silent. Masako sniffled a little, but sighed.

"She's gone." She announced. Mai felt bad for Riko, but there was no other choice. They couldn't let her keep doing these things.

"John just to make sure nothing else comes back I want you to bless the other rooms in this house." Naru said sighing.

"Alright," John said nodding. The rest of them headed back to base where Lin and Aki are. Aki was still out cold on the couch and Lin was starting to turn the monitors and stuff off.

"I'll go get the cameras." Mai said going back out of the room. Megumi-san and Ayano-chan came back a few hours later. Naru had already called and talked to someone about repairing the window in the living room. Ayako and Masako cleaned up all the glass on the living room floor and tried to pick up what they could outside in front of the window. Megumi-san was about to freak out, but Ayako quickly explained to her what was going on and Naru told her that he would pay for the damaged window. Megumi-san calmed down finally and took a deep breath.

"Where's Aki-neechan?" Ayano-chan asked curiously.

"She's lying down on the couch in our room." Mai answered her. "She bumped her head, so she's resting."

"Oh, okay." Ayano-chan said before heading towards her room.

"Did that ghost push her out the window?" Megumi-san asked wide-eyed.

"Yes, but she's okay. She just has a few cuts from the glass and she'll have bump on her head." Ayako explained to her. "She should be waking up right about now." Just as Ayako said this, Aki walked into the room, looking a little confused.
