" What do you mean blood.." Hayami whispered so as not to frighten the others, her face was pale from fright just thinking of it.
" You sure your not mistaken?" Megami said lightly, she herself was also not willing to startle the others as well, if they were to suddenly back out from the exploration wouldn't she be forced to stop as well?.
" I don't know...., it's just a speculation" Yūrei shrugged, yet his eyes still stared silently towards the sticky substance.
" If you're not so sure then stop trying to scare us!"
" Yeah Yūrei-kun maybe try not saying things like that again"
" Huh?, is everything ok guys?" Jiang asked from a distance, their loud voices obviously attracted him and the others attentions.
" No it's nothing really" Hayami waved her hands reassuringly.
" Uh huh..., well if you say so" Jiang looked doubtful but he ultimately decided to forget it.
" Were gonna head upstairs in a few moments just to be clear " he reminded her.
" Ok I'll be there in a minute" She replied before Jiang returned to looking around the hall.
" I better be going now and Yūrei please don't do something like that again ok" she said with a pleading voice.
" You know how much this means to Jiang so please maybe keep those thoughts to yourself if you're not fully sure"
" Same for me, if you're not sure don't say anything, you'll only be ruining this for everyone if you do" Megami interjected as well.
_ But It's not my fault...._ Yūrei sighed inwardly but still nodded towards the two of them.
" Ok, I think I'll be heading back to Jiang now, you two have fun ok" Hayami stood up waving goodbye towards the two of them.
" Yeah, I'll see you later Hayami-Chan" Yūrei smiled as she walked away, only when he was sure she was back on Jiang's side did his expression turn nonchalant.
His eyes glanced up the stairs, he saw several more stains the same as the one on the first floor, each stain led up the stairs, one on each stair board.
_ They're practically in a pattern, each only appearing on one step at a time?_ he frowned lightly, his only free hand partially covered his mouth as he contemplated.
_ If I were to guess I'd say it was dropping from two different points continuously, the width between each drop isn't that far from each other _
_ By my calculations I'd say their just about the width of a human being meaning...., either am just imagining things or those stains are actually the blood that dripped down a pair of bloody hand's not to long ago.... _ reaching such a conclusion turned his face solemn, his hands unconsciously tightened lightly around Megami's wrist.
He looked up the stairs, his view soon came to a stop atop the stairs for his flash light couldn't go any further, the upstairs were completely submerged in thick darkness, only god knew what was hidden within.
" Just what are you thinking?" Megami's feminine voice dragged him back to reality.
" Uhh... it's nothing"
" You sure?, cause you seemed pretty lost back there" she raised a brow feeling suspicious but Yūrei quickly reassured her.
"My bad, Am sure, it's nothing hehehe" Yūrei scratched the back of his head looking embarrassed.
" Fine if you say so, since your done spacing out, mind if we actually go somewhere else"
" Where do you have in mind?" He raised a brow feeling intrigued as to where this unruly princess was suddenly interested in going.
" I was thinking of visiting the manors chambers" Megami used her fair finger to twiddle with her silky hair.
" Huh?, why would you wanna go their?, shouldn't we first try the restrooms and bathrooms"
" I hear that's where the Yin Qi is the most in a building"
" No I don't wanna go to some filthy Old bathroom!, I wanna go to the bedroom with you!" Megami yelled firmly, not willing to compromise.
_ Why on earth would you say that?!_ Yūrei stared at her wide eyed, his hand quickly rushed to cover her mouth hastily yet it was already too late.
He felt several piercing gazes on him the next instant.
" hahahaha it's not what it sounds like, She just wanted to go freshen up in the bedroom " Yūrei waved his hands desperately trying to explain.
" Freshen up in this old place?" Jesse stared at him with a forced smile, it was obvious no one was buying it.
He wanted to plead but he knew that would only do more harm than good right now, With a sunken expression he turned towards Megami who looked back at him innocently, if not for the slight smile on her glossy lips he would have believed her to be innocent.
" My bad?" She smiled lightly yet the light smirk on her beautiful face said otherwise.
