: Heeey Everybody! You all are going to hate me during this story… I cried writing it.
Naru: Welcome to the land of the living.
Mai: Why were you crying?
: Uh… DISCLAIMER! ;A;
Disclaimer: I don't, and probably will never, own Ghost Hunt. *sob* ((You never know though… ^-^))
After finding out Nar- I mean, Oliver's purposes for being in Japan, all of us- with the exception of Lin and Masako- were surprised. No. Surprised was an understatement. We were furious and shocked. He had been lying to us for almost a year and a half! I mean, sure it was because of his brother, Gene, but I can't help but to feel like we were all used! As if we were his little tools!
My thoughts were disturbed as Oliver started talking again.
"I will be packing inside of my office."His tone inflicted that NOTHING had just happened. How does he do that?!
"And Mai,"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Tea."
Right then, I snapped. "YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M NOT GETTING YOUR PRECIOUS TEA! THE GREAT OLIVER DAVIS SHOULD BE BIG ENOUGH TO GET HIS OWN THINGS! OR ARE YOU TO MUCH OF A NARCISSISTIC SLAVE-DRIVING EGOISTIC MORON TO KNOW THAT?! YOU'RE LUCKY I LOVE You…."
I stopped, turning crimson red as I realized what I had just said. Everybody's eyes were wide in shock, including mine. What….Did I just do….
Suddenly the hem of my shirt was oh-so-fascinating at the moment.
For about 3 minutes, all were silent. I felt their eyes on me and it was burning through my head. My cheeks were still redder than a fire truck. My eyes started to burn from not blinking… that was until tears flooded them after his next words. He put on a sad smile and looked me straight in the eye.
"Me or Gene?"
The tears came down like a waterfall. There was no stopping them, no matter what. They were almost endless as I ran out the door, hearing my name being called by Monk and John to stop. I rushed down the stairs, and ran across the street. I wish I listened to them.
~Meanwhile ~
Mai ran out the door, and her eyes were squeezed shut. Tears were pouring down her face. Monk and John were the only ones at a close enough angle to see the large truck coming close. They screamed at her to stop, but either she didn't hear them, or she was ignoring them. In those moments, everybody was by the stairs, just realizing what was about to happen. They were about to lose the one thing that kept their family close. The glue. They were about to lose Mai. Their Mai. Forever.
They screamed in horror as the giant truck collided with the young girl screaming as well.
(A/N: I'm SORRY! DON'TKILL ME! I HAVE PLANS!)
Monk and Lin ran out to the still girl while Yasu and John were holding the crying Ayako and Masako. But Naru's world froze. He stood at the top of the stairs, staring at nothing. While Monk was performing CPR, Lin was calling an ambulance.
"Guys," Monk started, his voice containing an immense amount of hope. "Mai is… she's… ALIVE!" Everybody ran up to her as she sputtered. Nobody knew if she could survive until the ambulance got here. She strained to talk.
"Don't cry. Please. I d-don't know how much time I have left, but make me happy and move on. Monk, thank you for giving me these few moments to say goodbye. Lin, thanks for calling the ambulance. But I'm afraid they won't make it in time."
"No! Y-you can't die! P-please hold on, mate…"Mai looked at John with a sad smile. "I can't make any promises. John, you are one of the kindest souls I've met. Always making people smiling, helping out at charities, you name it."
Her eyes shifted to Masako. "I don't think I've ever seen you cry. Funny. I've always thought you didn't like me."
"I-I-I was o-only jealous! I c-couldn't hate y-you!"
Mai was slowly slipping, and everyone knew it. "Yasu, you were one of the things that kept me sane. A wonderful researcher and comedic relief. Don't stop because of me."
"Ayako, you have always comforted me when I needed it the most and yours and Monk's arguments never cease to bore me."
Her eyes finally shifted to Naru, his blue orbs holding in tears. Once their eyes met and locked, he couldn't hold them. Two stray tears left his eyes. The remaining Davis child went on the ground, on Mai's level. He sat her up slightly and leaned closer and closer until the teens' lips met. The kiss lasted all of 5 seconds before Naru pulled away gently.
"I-I'm so sorry Mai. I'm sorry. Mai. Please don't leave! You CAN'T!" He held her closer.
"Goodbye everybody. I'm sorry I can't stay longer. Be strong. I love you all. And Naru…. Thank you."
With that, Mai's eyes began to close. She smiled, and took her last breath. As the last of the young brunette's life drained away, she fell limp in Naru's arms.
"NOOO!" Ayako hugged the lifeless form that used to be her friend. She started shaking her shoulders, gently slapping her face, anything that would bring her back. She tried anything and everything to bring her back, but her cold and pale skin, drained eyes, and blood head to toe were all the proof she needed.
The ambulance pulled in and people rushed towards them, but it didn't matter.
Their Mai was gone.
Forever.
Mai: Y-You KILLED ME?!
: PLEASEDONTKILLMEIHAVEAPLAN!
Naru: *glare*
: Please Review and I MAY bring Mai back… o3o
