Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt. But I can say that it is the best anime I have ever watched, and I've watched a lot . Please review, but don't forget to enjoy the chapters I post as well! :]
"Secrets"
Prologue: How it All Began
Light seeped through the slits between the door and its frame. The crackling of fire could be heard, its heat sweeping throughout the entire room, but not beyond.
A little girl was keeping quiet as she peeked through the keyhole underneath the door knob. She was spying on the occupants in the warm room.
"Martin," began a woman with kind, light blue eyes.
"I know Luella, I know." The man sighed, his eyes transfixed on the flames in the fireplace.
The little girl accidentally nudged the door with her foot and the creaking startled the young couple in the room.
"Maya Belle!" Luella gasped. "What are you doing out of bed sweetie?"
"Mummy, am I going somewhere?" The four year old girl looked up at her mother as she sleepily rubbed her eyes.
Luella's eyes softened.
"I'm afraid so darling."
"Oh."
It was silent in the room. No sound but the crackling of wood as the fire burned on.
"Where am I going?"
"Japan." This time Martin spoke.
Maya Belle sleepily walked towards him, and allowed him to set her on his knee. She leaned against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.
"Okay, just make sure…to…write…" Maya Belle drifted off into dream land.
Luella and Martin looked down lovingly at their only child. The young girl was their pride, miracle, and joy in life. Though, as they watched their young daughter sleeping, a thought crossed through their minds:
How come she didn't ask why?
