☆☆Saori-san! Saori-san! Yurēi came to visit...I told you she would! I told you! But Momi is also here. Do you--

"Let them in, Emina. It would be rude not too." The girl in question, Saori Nanaka, sat down in a chair. Her legs were crossed, arms on her thighs, and sitting up straight. Her mother taught her well to be polite and have good manners, but sometimes she could not help but be outright ruthless to those who stand in her way.

Entered Momi, and following behind, a ghostly figure. It was Yurēi.

They entered, Yurēi wearing a strange expression.

~~Helloooo, Saoriiiiiiiii.

The way she said it alone was creepy, but it did not faze Saori.

☆☆Don't talk like that to my master!

~~I will talk how I please!

Momi, on the other hand, never heard Yurēi talk back before...nor be creepy. It was like a whole new side of Yurēi, revealed at the sight of Saori Nanaka. Though they were the same age, Saori always acted far more mature, and she was.

"Nanaka-chan, I have come to ask for aid in finding Yurēi-chan's killer for it is almost time for her to depart." Momi said. "And if we don't give her the peace she needs, she may never move on to the Afterlife, but rather the torment of wandering the Earth lost for all eternity, with no cure whatsoever!"

Saori took a sip of her tea, then placed the tea cup down, staring Momi up and down observantly with her emerald green eyes. "Fine. I will help." But before she could do a cheer, Saori then added, "But on one condition. You help me help Emina-borēi."

Momi nodded. "Of course."

Saori smiled warmly. "Then we have a deal." And she finished the last of her tea.

☆☆Saori-san, why did you agree with helping them? I know you want to help me as well, but I don't like Yurēi. Everytime she is around, I can sense a dark presence.

"Perhaps it is her dark past following her. Remember that ghost from Panama?"

☆☆Yes. But she is not Amity. And as for Yurēi, what they did to her in her past was not what I felt...it was what she did to them in her past that I am greatly fearful of...

"You are fearful of her getting vengance for her friend? After all, that is how she died."

☆☆Yes. And though that is true, I still have my worries that she is up to something...

I rolled my eyes. "And what do you think she is up to?" I asked.

☆☆She is planning murder. Or possibly even torment.

"Hmph. Sure she is." I blocked her out before she could say no more.

Hmm...what could Yurēi possibly be planning? Now, of course, you may have already figured it out by now. But for those who did not, well, you sure are in for a surprise with the next chapter!
