Disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Hunt :)
Mai: Thank gosh...
NMSM: Excuse me? What was that?
Naru: You heard her, stupid. Don't act like you didn't.
NMSM: THAT'S IT, YOU BASTARD! I'M GONNA BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!
Mai: Uhm...LIN! GET IN HERE WITH YOUR SHIKI! LIKE, NOW! NMSM Doesn't own any of the characters except for her OC's! HEY, NO BITING! FOUL PLAY!
(Mai's POV)
The lights flew past me, almost as if I were speeding. They almost looked like orbs of magic, and I could imagine fairies being the cause of them. I walked and walked, but I made no progress as far as I could tell. It all looked the same and nothing changed.
"Mommy, mommy! Come outside and play with me!" I turned around and saw a little girl with black hair and blue eyes run around the front yard, giggling and smiling.
"Okay, dear! Give me a second more and then I'll come play!" The voice came from inside the house. The door was open halfway and I could see inside.
The woman had dark black hair and brown eyes that were scared to death. A man was holding her by the throat, laughing and threatening her. He had brown hair and blue eyes that looked like the child's.
(a/n: *This is her thoughts* This is what's happening.)
*That must be the child's parents...But...why is her father killing the mother?* The little girl looked confused as to why her mom hadn't come outside yet and walked up the steps of her house.
"Momma? Will you come play, now?" I wanted to yell at the little girl and tell her to run, to get away. I tried but someone had clamped a hand over my mouth and I watched as the man had cut his wife's head off in an instant. His child yelled and cried, dropping to the floor. "Momma! MOMMA! NO! MOMMA, ANSWER ME!" I cried as the little girl tried and put her mom's head back on her body.
"No, Erika. Your mother deserved this. She was an undeserving bitch."
"NO! Momma is sweet! Momma loves me! Momma said she would come outside and play with me! NO!" The little girl cried harder, sobbing, even. I closed my eyes as the man lifted the butcher's knife again, ready to kill his own flesh and blood.
I heard the sickening shluck and new tears formed in my eyes. This man didn't deserve to live and he sure as hell didn't deserve the life he had.
"Mai, it's okay. Open your eyes." I opened them to find Gene standing in front of me.
"Why the hell would you show me that, Gene!?" I punched him, hard, and then hugged him.
"I know, I'm so sorry...It's important to the case you're about to get involved in..." I shook my head.
"Gene, you know I won't get involved with Na- Shibuya-san again."
Gene sighed, "I know, but I don't think you'll have an option..."
I was about to ask what he was talking about when he kissed my forehead and waved to me. I was confused and then understood when I was plummeted back to wherever my real body lay.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-
I slammed my fist down on the damned contraption and groaned. I freaking hate those dreams. I don't like seeing people die and then getting involved. Dammit, Gene! Why can't I live the rest of my miserable, lonely, life in peace!? Damn bastard...
*Ring* ... *Ring* ... *Ring*
"Yeah, what?" My voice was hoarse and cracked a little at the end. I swallowed and coughed before trying again. "Hello?"
"Taniyama?" My stomach dropped. He had the guts to call me?!
"What the hell do you want, Shibuya-san?" My voice was cold and distant. I didn't want to talk to him...at all.
"I have returned to Japan and would like for you to come work for me again."
"Kiss my ass."
"I'll give you some time to think it over."
"I'm not going to say yes, you damned egotistical bastard." I could hear his breath come in through the phone.
"A week." He hung up and I almost threw my phone at the wall.
"SHIBUYA, YOU BASTARD! UGH!" I threw my head into my pillow and screamed for a good five minutes before I stopped, afraid of losing my voice.
I quickly got up and got ready for the day. It was Saturday so that meant going to the cafe down the street and meeting Ayako and Masako. I grabbed my purse and ran out the door, only one thing on my mind; What the hell did Gene mean when he said I wouldn't have an option?
"HE WHAT!?" I covered my ears as Ayako and Masako shouted.
"He called me. Did you guys know about him being back?" The both shook their heads no, but they did it too quickly, almost as if they were expecting the question. "Liars."
Ayako sighed, "Okay, I knew he was here. But, I told him to leave you the hell alone and that you didn't wanna talk to him!" Masako nodded and agreed that she had done the same.
I nodded and took a sip of my coffee. "I believe you guys." They let out a breath before they started piling on questions. Mostly Ayako, though. Masako kept her mouth hidden but asked a question every now and then.
"What did he say!? Was he rude!? Did he confess to you!? Are you guys over the past!?" I stopped Ayako right there.
"One, I am never ever going to forgive that bastard. Two, if he really wanted to confess, I would like for him to do it person. And three, I am..not over the past. Bastard deserves me hating him. He freaking left, accusing me of loving his twin brother, and that it was never him! Who the hell does that!?" I calmed myself down before continuing, "He told me he wants me to come work for him again. I told him he can kiss my ass. He's giving me a week to think this over, but there's nothing to think over. The answer will always be no."
"I dunno, Mai-chan...maybe you could work for him again...I mean, from what you've told me about that dream, it sounds like you're gonna get involved no matter what. Why not get a head start and figure out what's going on?" I gritted my teeth and fisted my hands.
"She has a point, Mai." I rubbed my temple before giving up on thinking at that moment and drank my coffee.
"I'll think about it." They were about to argue with me some more, but the look on my face clearly said I didn't want to talk about it. They both sighed before coming up with a different topic.
NMSM: Well, I think this chapters nice! Lemme know what you guys think!
Mai: I like it!
Naru: That was horrible...
NMSM: I will beat the shit out of you again...
Naru: I'd like to see you try...
Mai: Naru, shut-up. She already did, remember? And are the bandages covering you up not proof enough?
Naru: ...
NMSM: HA! THE BEAST IS TAMED! See y'all in the next chapter! No heavy flames, please!
