Naomi followed Noel until they found a door leading to what Noel said. It was just a trap door. Naomi rubbed her head, "it was hidden pretty well, I think I walked past this but didn't ever think it could be here..." Noel opened the door and they climbed in. When they reached the bottom row of lights turned on. "The hell..." They walked the path in front of them and Noel opened the door they stopped at. It revealed a huge hallway. The room was filled with rooms blocked by metal bars. "This is like a jail but worse... What the hell was she doing here?" Noel grabbed Naomi's arm and she guided her towards Yui. After a few hallways passed, they found Yui's cell. Yui had blood running down her face. "Yui!" Naomi grabbed the bars. Yui looked at her, "N-Naomi..." she said weakly. Noel pulled on Naomi's torn tank top and showed her a metal door. Naomi began to examine the lock. (The world is this lock?) It reminded her of a scorpion. Naomi rubbed her head, "Damn... This isn't going to be easy... Noel, how big is this place...?" Noel shrugged, "I don't know, sorry..." Naomi nodded with a smile, No worries... We'll find it.." Naomi grabbed her hand, "Yui, we have to find a key, alright..." Naomi saw her head drop with a nod. They ran down the hallway.

Noel gasped, "Naomi I forgot your katana!" Naomi shook her head, "Don't worry about it... We'll pick it up when we get back..." Noel nodded. They stopped in a huge room, full of boxes. "The hell..." Naomi fell to one knee as a sharp pain hit her back. "SORRY.... NAOMI..... IT'S A BIT HARD REPAIRING YOUR WOUNDS..." Naomi punched the ground, "It's fine, Shin..." Noel helped her up and noticed her back heal slightly, "Is Shin...?" Naomi nodded, "He's having a bit of trouble... Don't worry, sweetheart..." They walked over to the boxes and Naomi opened one of them. Only news papers were inside. "News papers???" She picked one up and glanced about it. The events of three years ago, a pic of Naomi in the hospital bed was printed under the text. "Is this going to repeat?" Naomi noticed the same text on the rest. "She was obsessed with me... That makes me feel very uncomfortable..." Naomi placed the newspaper back and the box.

Naomi began walking then something made a noise by her feet. She looked down and noticed a small key. She picked it up and noticed it was a circle with a cross. (The one I'm looking for is a scorpion...) Naomi pocketed it anyway. Noel tripped over a box and Naomi turned and noticed a passageway. "Noel you alright?" She got up with a scrap on her arm then it healed immediately, Naomi walked over towards her to look at her arm. "No scar either... Your healing abilities are astonishing." Noel stomach growled, "Sounds like someone hungry..." Noel looked away crossing her arms, "Don't point it out!~" Naomi smiled, "I'm hungry too... But right now we need to get our friends out of here and we'll go eat at a restaurant." Noel had a huge grin, "Yay!" Then walked down the passage. When they exited the passage they were met with a picture on the wall that was jumbled up and a table with four buttons on it. They walked towards it and Naomi pressed one of the buttons. The picture flickered and it was changed slightly. "Damn... This is going to take a while..." she said as she turned and looked at a note on the wall. Naomi read, "My holy place... A sacred, special place..." Naomi rubbed her head, then she looked at the picture. (Her special place? She was obsessed with me, maybe?) She began to press different buttons. The picture flickered over and over. Naomi was getting irritated by it, "Damn it!" she slammed her fist into the table scaring Noel. Naomi sighed, and Noel pressed the fourth button. The image shifted and glowed when it was fixed. Naomi looked up and she stepped back. "Special place!? TO HELL THAT'S MY SPECIAL PLACE!" Tears went down her face. Then a door opened where the note was. Naomi didn't notice but Noel did. "Naomi! A door opened!" she looked at Naomi and noticed tears dripping down her face. Noel hugged her. "T-that hell hole! Nick died there and I have no fond memories of it! I lost everything! EVERYTHING! My mother and Nick...."

Noel whipped Naomi's tears, "Listen... He's not gone. He's in your heart and watching you grow." Naomi looked at her mouth quivering. Naomi hugged her, "Noel... I'm sorry for crying, I'm your role model after all..." Noel shook her head, "Crying is a part of us... And it would be awful not to see you cry, you bundle stuff up a lot. Even when you sleep you cry..." Naomi nodded. Naomi shook her head and gain her focus back. "Let's get our friends and get the hell out of here." Noel nodded to Naomi's statement and they went through the door. A small room with a chest was beyond the door. They opened the chest and a lone scorpion key was sitting in the darkened square hole. Naomi reached in, picked it up and they walked out.
