~I do not own Ghost Hunt or the characters~
A/N: Just to let you guys know, I haven't read the Manga for this. I've only seen the anime. So sorry if I get something wrong. And the characters might be a little OOC… Sorry if that happens…
…May 6th…
Mai walked into Naru's office with his tea as usual. She saw he was on the phone and left the drink on his desk. As Mai walked out of the room she thought back to when they first met and smiled a bit. She walked to the sitting room to see John, Monk, Masako, and Ayako there.
"Hey" Mai greeted cheerfully. "What are you guys doing here?"
"You tell us" Ayako said.
"Naru just called us and said to come over right away." John explained.
"He's in his office with Lin" Mai replied. "He was on the phone and Lin was on the computer." Mai finished with a sigh. "We haven't been getting much work around here, so maybe we got a job."
"Yeah" Monk started. "I hope nothing bad happened."
Naru walked into the room with Lin by his side.
"You all must be wondering what you're doing here" Naru started.
"No, we just wanted to come and say 'hi'" Ayako said sarcastically and Monk snickered.
"Like I was saying" Naru glared at Ayako. "You all know that we haven't been getting much work lately"
"Get to the point Naru" Monk urged.
"I'll cut to the point" Naru turned his glare to Monk. "We got a job" Every started to cheer. "In South Carolina" Everyone looked at Naru like he grew a second head.
"Why are we going to South Carolina?" John asked.
"Because there has been a lot of paranormal activity" Naru explained.
"Like what?" Monk asked.
"Recently a girl was pushed off the roof of a hotel" Naru started. "She claims she saw a man standing on the roof and he disappeared into thin air." Everyone looked shell shocked for a moment.
"Anything else?" Ayako asked.
"Things move, people get pushed and slapped, and some claim they've heard voices." Naru informed.
… A few days later…
Once the plane landed in South Carolina they all got off. But they learned something interesting…
"Monk, I didn't know you were afraid of heights" Mai said to the man hugging the ground.
"How could you not?" Monk asked getting up from the ground. "If you fall then it's over!"
"Whatever" Ayako rolled her eyes.
"Let's go" Naru said while walking down the street.
"Wait Naru!" Mai and the others ran towards him. "Where are you going?" They caught up to him.
"The hotel" He replied.
"Where is it?" John asked.
"Right there" Naru said while pointing to the hotel. They walked into the hotel to see a woman at the front desk. "Excuse me, I'm looking for a Ruth Mockie" She pointed to a small staircase leading to a door. Naru knocked on the door. They heard some bangs and someone curse. The door opened to reveal a very pissed off woman.
"What the Hell do you want?" The nineteen year old asked.
"We are here to investigate the paranormal activity in the Hotel" Naru informed. "Are you Ruth?"
"No dip" Ruth replied. Monk, Mai, and Ayako couldn't help but snicker at her sarcasm. "Do you know what time it is?"
"Nine O'clock" Naru replied.
"Exactly, it's too damn early for this crap!" Ruth stomped into the room. Everyone fallowed her into the room. They were amazed to see a whole living environment. "I'll show you to HQ" She walked to a door at the end of the hallway. She opened the doors to reveal a room full of monitors and other things. They all gawked at the room while Ruth smiled proudly.
"How'd you" Monk looked to her.
"You didn't think I was just a hillbilly-hick, did you?" Ruth smirked. "I'm a ghost hunter! I got all this stuff from a friend of mine." Ruth folded her arms and smiled.
"Impressive" Naru looked at all the monitors. "What are all of these rooms?"
"All the rooms of the hotel" Ruth said while walking over to the wall of monitors. "All the activity is in four rooms." Ruth pulled out a pointing stick out of nowhere. "In room 206 a lot of people get hit, shoved, and bitten. In room 117 single men get flirted with-"
"I know where I'm staying tonight" Monk was then hit with the stick.
"No interrupting!" Ruth sighed and went back to what she was doing. "In room 18 people hear their loved ones calling their names, calling for help, and screaming. And last but not least, room 266, on the top floor, is where I was pushed out the window, onto the roof, and off the building." Ruth sighed while rubbing a scar on her arm.
"Masako, do you sense anything?" Naru asked. Masako looked grim.
"I can barely sense anything but there's something." Masako replied. "Maybe I can get a better sense in the rooms." Naru looked at Ruth.
"Can you show us to the rooms?" Ruth sighed at the question.
"I guess but I haven't been able to get into room 266." Ruth cringed at the memory.
…Ruth's POV…
I walked up the stairs to the main lobby with the others behind me. I waved at Nancy at the desk as we walked up the stairs to the second floor. I stopped in the middle of the stairs. I sense something… but what is it? It's coming from that room… I took off running as fast as I could. Everyone chased after me.
"What the Hell!" Monk yelled.
"I sense something up ahead!" I yelled. "I think it's a ghost but I can't sure!"
"She's right!" Masako yelled. "I sense an angry spirit!"
I ran as fast as my two bare (Yes I was bare footed) feet could take me. Sadly I went to turn too early and slammed my side into the wall. Before anything could be done I started running again. We ran to the third floor to get to the room. Once I got there I slid to a stop. I saw a man tearing the room apart, looking for something.
Something snapped and I charged in. While his back was turned I went to kick it but he dodged. He glared at me.
"You just don't know when to give up" He hissed.
I kept trying to kick him but he kept dodging. I tried to kick his stomach but he grabbed my ankle and twisted it. I couldn't help but whimper in pain. Wait a minute I can't feel his hands. Is he the ghost? Crap he's strong.
He threw me to the wall and I hit it with a thump. While I sat on the ground I saw him disappear and reappear in front me. He grabbed my neck and slammed me back into the wall. I tried to scream but couldn't. I heard an ear piercing whistle and a few lights came and attacked the man. He disappeared as did the lights. The others ran to me while I gasped for air.
"Are you alright?" Monk asked. I nodded.
"What were those?" I asked in somewhat a panic tone.
"My shikigami" Lin replied. I sighed and got up. I limped to the door.
"You shouldn't walk on that ankle" Monk informed me.
"I've had worst injuries!" I yelled from the hallway. We all walked, in my case limped, back to base. Once we got there Naru started barking orders.
"Lin, go check the monitors and see if we got that on film." Naru commanded. Lin nodded and walked to HQ. "Monk and father Brown will do some exorcisms in the rooms. Ayako and Mai will check room 18 and Masako and I will check rooms 117 and 206."
"What about me?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" Naru raised an eyebrow.
"I just got in a fight with a ghost!" I said very loudly. "And lost! I'm in this with you one way or another!" Naru sighed.
"It's too dangerous for someone who can't protect herself" Naru informed me. An anime vein popped up on my head.
"I bet I could knock you out!" I yelled.
"Fine if you can knock me out then you can be part of the investigation" I smirked while walking to the kitchen. I grabbed my favorite frying pan and walked back to the living room. I hid the frying pan behind my back as walked towards Naru. Before he did anything I smacked him with the frying pan. He went down very easily. I smiled and walked away.
"You have no idea how long I wanted to that" Ayako and Monk praised me. I smiled and threw the frying pan back into the kitchen. I walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" John asked.
"I need to go for a walk" I said causally.
"Maybe you should put some shoes on." Mai suggested. I shrugged.
"Naw, they just slow me down." I walked out the door, up the stairs, and through the lobby. I walked down the street humming to myself when I felt a rock hit my head. I whipped my head around to glare at whoever did that. I glared at my enemy, Kathleen.
"Hello, ghost-girl" She smirked. "I heard you were pushed off the roof of the hotel… To bad you lived."
"Bitch" I said simply. "You want a fight or something?"
"Actually yes" She smiled. "Boys, come on out." Two jocks came out of an alleyway and I sighed. Wonder what's going to happen when I get back…
…
I walked down the stairs and cracked the door open far enough for me to look inside. I saw no one so I walked in and walked to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and pulled out a piece of steak and put in on my black eye.
"That's gonna leave a mark" I sighed as I walked to the living room to see everybody. "Err… Hello everybody"
"What happened to your eye?" Monk asked. I sighed.
"I got in a fight with a prep and two jocks." I smiled. "And won"
"Did you get hurt anywhere else?" Mai asked. I shook my head.
"I just got some bruises is all."
"You're staying with Lin at HQ" Naru informed me. I could see a small bump on Naru's head.
"Whatever" I sighed. "I'm taking a nap" I took the meat back to the fridge and walked back in. "I just remembered, there are two guest rooms down here. Each as three beds. So one person as to sleep on the other cot in my room." I waved at them as I went to my room to take a nap.
I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling until sleep consumed me…
…
I ran to the hotel as fan as I could. I looked back to the mob behind me.
"What do you what with me!" I yelled. "I didn't do anything!" Tears poured down face as I ran. "Mom! Dad! Help me!" I ran into the hotel and to room 18…
…
He slapped me. Again and again. I looked up at the man. His smile was wicked. I backed up to the wall and felt around for something… anything… I picked up a knife and threw it at the man. It hit him in the chest. He fell to the ground as I ran out the room. Looked back at room 206 one last time…
…
I looked out the window. My heart was soar.
"Where are you my love?" I asked. "Please come home soon."
I walked out of room 117…
…
I ran from him. I looked back to see him behind me. I ran into room 266. He came as well.
"Is this it brother?" I asked the man.
"Yes sister" He smirked. "A fight to the death" I got into fighting stance. We fought long and hard. He pulled out a knife and stuck it in my heart…
…
I sat up screaming. I also thrashed around until fell out of the bed. The door to my room flew open. Out of reflex I threw a book but missed horribly. Lin walked over to me.
"Are you alright?" He asked in monotone.
"I'm fine" I sighed. "Just a bad dream" We both walked out of my room and into HQ. "What time is it?"
"About midnight" He replied.
"Where are the others?"
"Investigating"
"You want some tea?" I asked. He nodded in response. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I grabbed the pitcher of tea and poured it into two cups. I also put some ice in them. I grabbed the cups and walked back to HQ. I put a cup on the desk in front of Lin. He just stared at it.
"What?" I asked him.
"What is this?" He asked me.
"Sweet tea" I said simply. "I don't have any other tea" He cautiously took a sip. I guess he liked it. We drank our tea silently as we watched the others.
…
Mai and Ayako walked into room 18.
"Can you sense anything?" Mai asked.
"I can't tell" Ayako replied.
"Help Ayako! Help!" A female voice called out.
"M-mother?" Ayako looked around the room looking for the source.
"Mai! The spirit is too strong!" Naru's voice rang through the room. "Help me!"
"Naru!" Mai called out.
…
"John, you there?" I asked into a walky-talky.
"What is it, mate?" His Australian accent came through.
"John, we need you in room 18" I replied.
"I'll be there in a few minutes." I sighed as I looked to the screen again.
…
John came into the room.
"John, we need you to do an exorcism" Ayako informed. "This ghost is playing with us."
"Got it" John nodded. John did the exorcism with holy water. A teenaged girl with bright red curly hair walked out. She also had bright green eyes. But the rest of her body was gray and transparent.
"Big brother?" She called out. "Mother? Father? Why did they call me a witch?" She looked very sad as she looked around.
"You do not belong here anymore" John said to the young ghost. "Go to where you belong." The young girl looked up and a bright light could be seen. She looked back to the three and smiled.
"Thank you" She thanked. "My name is Angel Rose" She smiled as she disappeared.
…
I grabbed my laptop and looked her up.
"Found something" I said. Lin looked at me. "It says that Angel Rose was a teenager that could cure any illness with herbs. The town's folk formed a mob and chased her down into this hotel… Into room 18…" I stopped for a moment. "They killed her for witch craft when she did nothing at all." We looked back to the monitors.
…
Masako and Naru walked into room 206. Masako put the sleeve of her kimono to her mouth.
"I sense a violent spirit." She informed. "It wants revenge." She was then pushed by an invisible force into a wall.
"Masako!" Naru called out. He tried to run towards her but was also pushed.
…
Lin got up to help them. As he ran to the door I jumped on his back.
"He said not to leave the room!" I yelled while holding on for dear life. "Please don't kill me but it was Naru's idea." He tried to shake me off his back but I held on. Soon I fell off but I grabbed his leg.
"Let go!"
"Hell no!" I grabbed the walky-talky off my belt and pressed the button. "Come in Monk"
"What is it, Ruth?" He asked.
"Monk, go to room 206 and help Masako and Naru!" I yelled. Lin slammed me against the door frame. "OW, damn you Lin!"
"You ok, Ruth?" The monk asked.
"Just hurry up! I can't restrain Lin any longer!" I yelled. Once Monk came into view on the screen Lin sat down and I started to plan Naru's death.
…
Monk ran in chanting his chant. A ghost came into view. The ghost was a man with black hair and blood red eyes. He looked like a monster holding a knife. Monk chanted his chant once again. Monk held his hand out with the prayer beads. The monster was destroyed and the others were safe.
…
Lin took a sigh of relief and I smirked. I got on my laptop and did another search but this time on the hotel.
"Here we go" Lin looked over my shoulder to look at the page. "It says here that a while back a man with black hair would rape then kill young girls. When he came to this town he kidnapped a woman named Kate. She stabbed him in the chest with a knife in the room. And the room was room 206." I sighed as I looked back to the monitors.
"Ruth we're heading back" Naru's voice rang out.
"Got it" I said back into the walky-talky. "We'll take care of rooms 117 and 266 later…
