Xia nodded at Noryo, her grip tightening on her spear slighlty as she slid open the door. She peered inside the room and sighed in relief when she saw Megumi. She motioned for Noryo to wait and stepped inside the room.

Noryo ignored her and came to stand in the doorway beside her. He saw Megumi and sighed, she was going to be the death of him...

unnoticed by anyone the room slowly began to shift. The ones in the room were caught without knowing as such. Megumi did not respond to Xia's presence. Turning to the last desk, her eyes watched as a sheet of a torn scroll feel to the ground. Not thinking of the act, she kneeled down and attempted to pick it up.
The paper scooted under the desk, as if driven by a breeze. On her hands and knees now, the shinobi reached blindly under the desk. All her instinics scream for her to pull and rush away but she does not. Suddenly a skinny, pale arm reaches out and grabs ahold of her wrist.
Terror ripped the voice out of Megumi as she slowly looked up into deep dark eyes. They were as dark as night.

Xia gasped, her head spinning for a moment and she fell to her knees, her spear clattering against the floor. She squeezed her eyes shut, her hands clutching the sides of her head as she struggled to figure out what was happening.
Her eyes snapped open as she felt a frigid hand on her face and what she saw tore the breath out of her throat.

Noryo blinked, his eyes had to be playing tricks on him. He laughed nervously, pushing the fear out of his mind, trying to ignore it. He stumbled as he tripped over something laying on the floor and looked down, laughing at his own clumsiness. His eyes widened as he saw the corpse of a small child laying at his feet. It hadn't been there a second ago, he stepped back and it started to twitch, slowly raising itself off the floor. He stumbled again and fell to the floor, landing hard on his butt.

The thing's head jerked to the right violently. Slowly, as if it had all the time in the world, it pulled itself closer to her. Fear and shock froze Megumi to the spot. Tears slowly began to stream down her cheeks, uncontroled. The face pulled closer, its nose almost touching her's. Suddenly its face broke wide open in a ghastly grin.
Megumi's arms began to tremble violently, threating to collapse. Her mind was stuttering one image over and over again. In her mind was the body of a mist shinobi.

Xia found herself frozen to the spot as she looked into the pale, doll-like face of a corpse. The hand on her cheek was ice cold and the dead eyes shone with a dark light. She opened her mouth trying to speak. She had to try three times before she could force herself to make a noise. "How can I make you go away?" She gasped, her eyes locked on the corpse before her. A single tear fell down ger cheek as she saw the corpse grin, dread filling her heart.

Noryo laughed again, his laughs slowly becoming more and more hysterical. "This is crazy... I mean, what the heck is this? This isn't possible, corpses don't move..." He laughed again and the body in front of him began to move toward him, a maniacal grin on it's face. "I don't believe this, it's not real." He shook his head and laughed again.

His face played again and again in her mind. The blood drying slowly on his vest. The shaking hand that held a forehead protector to her. The words take it running in circles. Megumi couldn't take it anymore. Her arms collapsed from under her and she began to cry out. "I had to kill him! I had to! It was not a choice! Why would I kill my master?! Huh?! They ordered me to do it!" Her voice broke into a loud sob. Gasping for breath Megumi began to reapeatedly scream she had to kill him. The child's hand rested on the forehead, closing her eyes.

Xia shook her head, moving away from the freezing hand. "Don't look at me like that. I wasn't wrong, I made the right choice..." She moved away, the floor hurting her knees. The corpse's grin widened and she shook her head, a dry laugh coming out of her mouth. "Yes I did! You can't judge me, you don't know, you can't know! I was right! They all knew it! It wasn't my fault..." She covered her face with her hands, crying softly and shaking her head.

Noryo grinned nervously as the body stopped in front of him, holding out her small hand. There was a pair of silver rings laying in the palm of her hand, glinting with a ghostly light. "Where did you get those?" He asked, his grin immediately vanishing. "That's really cruel... I mean, come on... it was creepy before but that's just mean. Whoever made this, was a real b****." He focused his chakra and forced it through the room, breaking the genjutsu. He breathed a sigh of relief and grinned. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to break it.

Megumi laid still on the wooden panels. Tears had stained her cheeks and she whispered a single name over and over. The genjutsu was gone but it had affected her in more ways than one.

Xia stayed still for a moment, trying to control her shaking. She took a deep breath and wiped the tears off her face, trying to ignore her shaking hands. She stood and glanced at Noryo. "Thank you." She said, surprised to find her voice hoarse. "I never imagined she was so powerful..." She walked over to Megumi, forcing herself to take steady steps. She knelt next to her, being careful not to touch her. "Megumi Jiinko?"

Noryo grinned and laughed nervously. "Is she alive? I've heard of people dying of fear but I didn't think it would work on her." He laughed again, trying to shake off the lingering unease.

As soon as Noryo had finished his last sentence Megumi shot straight up. Her eyes locked onto Xia's. She whispered quietly to her. "Arata-sensei. I had to kill him. They told me too..." Then, as soon as she said the words, Megumi's eyesblinked and she looked around here. Her defenses came ragging up as soon as she spotted the two shinobi. "The hell you two doing here?"
