Chapter 2

"Oh man I shouldn't have had that second helping at breakfast." Bou complained as he leaned over the railings of the ferry that was heading towards Okinawa.

Mitsumi had been true to her word and phoned Mai the following morning with the ferry times and the address of the hotel.

"I told you, it would make you sick." Ayako replied in an all knowing voice as she stood unsympathetically by Bou, occasionally patting his back as he suddenly grew a lot worse, whilst resting a hand on her enlarged stomach.

"I thought you meant I was being greedy!" Bou replied pitifully.

"Well you were." Masako replied from her seat, her sleeve covering her mouth.

"Not now pipsqueak." Bou retorted through gritted teeth. "Why is it you're the one who has been throwing up every morning and yet as soon as we get on a boat it's me?"

Ayako rolled her eyes. "Because I was smart enough to take sea sickness tablets before we got on the boat, besides it's about time it was someone other than me."

Bou just groaned and leaned over the rails again.

"Here Bou-san have a drink of water, it might help and I found someone who had some sea sickness tablets." John said kindly as he neared the green man who was being violently sick again over the side.

"Ugh thanks man, I owe you one." Bou replied taking the tablets and swallowing them down with half the water. "Uggh seriously, whose idea was it to go to Okinawa by boat!"

"Mitsumi-san paid for our ticket Bou-san." Mai explained as she stood by the railings.

"Still would flying here have made much difference?" Bou asked.

"You pay for the tickets then." Naru replied shortly as he sat by Lin reading his book.

Mai smiled as she watched the fight between Bou and Naru take off before looking out to the sea with a slight frown, last night's dream had left her confused…

Mai found herself looking out of a hospital window to see a bunch of doctors talking to each other and having a laugh, the name had changed from Okinawa Hospital to Okinawa Institute, only for one of the doctors to look up and see her standing there and she immediately felt terrified, so she jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Gene standing next to her.

"Be careful Mai the walls have eyes and ears."

She had then woken up wide awake only to find it was just gone 2am, so she fell back into a dreamless sleep.

"Are you okay Mai, you seem a bit distracted?" John asked as he walked over to her causing her to jump slightly.

"I'm fine John, thanks, it's just a dream I had last night confused me a bit, by the way whose winning?" She asked with a grin, as she looked over to the argument, which faded when she saw Naru standing behind John.

"What dream?" He asked.

"It was confusing…" Mai replied before explaining the dream. "Naru is there any way the hospital was once a mental home or something?"

"Possibly we'll have to research it." He replied walking away pulling his phone out to call most likely Yasu, Mai decided, as the slightly older boy was unable to attend because of his parents.

Mai went back to watching the sea pass by as Bou, Masako and Ayako keptyelling at each other.

They arrived at the Hotel by 11:30am and dropped off their bags in their rooms before heading back down into the van and driving to the Hospital which was a good 20 minutes away.

Stepping out of the car the gang looked up at the Hospital. It was like an old mansion that had been renovated into a hospital, it was a very picturesque scene.

"Shibuya-san, Mai-san and Kojo-san, thank you so much for coming so fast." Mitsumi called as she walked out to great them.

"Bou, Ayako, Masako, John this is Tanaka Mitsumi, she's the lady who came to the office." Mai introduced.

"It's Nice to meet you." They chorused which caused Mitsumi to giggle.

"Likewise, please let me show you around." She signalled for them to lead the way ahead which they gladly did.

"Tanaka-san, do you have any knowledge on the history of this house?" Naru asked as they walking through the main doors into the reception area.

"Erm, I think this used to be a mansion that was owned by a doctor about 200 years ago, he was known to be the best Psychiatrist around he helped people with mental issues, his name escapes me though" Mitsumi answered leading them down a hallway and up a flight of stairs towards a window that lead out onto the courtyard.

A sense of Déjà vu hit Mai and she stopped abruptly and stared out the window.

"What's the matter Mai?" Ayako asked causing the attention to go on her.

"This is the place from my dream…" she replied walking slowly towards the window and looked out, her eyes widening when she saw the doctors from her dream, wearing old lab coats, standing laughing with each other, when the one looked up and made eye contact with her it smiled evilly and mouthed clearly the words "Hello Mai"

She gasped and flinched as the glass in the window suddenly smashed inwards covering her and the others with glass. Ayako screamed and Bou covered her with his body protecting both her and the baby, as John did the same with Masako and Lin pulled Mitsumi out the way.

Mai had taken the worst of it and whimpered when she felt stings of pain down her arms and legs before feeling someone pull her away from the rest of the glass and wrapping their arms around her.

Looking up her eyes widened as she saw Naru holding onto her protectively.

"N-Naru?" she asked looking up at him he just looked at the window slowly letting her go.

"Good lord is everyone all right?" a few nurses asked as they ran up the stairs towards them.

"I think so, is everyone ok?" Mitsumi asked looking around as the group stood up again looking themselves over for major injuries seeing only small cuts.

Mai sighed in relief seeing no one hurt only to wince herself and put a hand on her stomach.

"We're all right" Bou reported only to be stopped by a gasp from Masako.

"What do you sense something?" Bou asked the small girl who shook her head.

"No….Mai…"She replied pointing at Mai and everyone looked towards Mai only to also gasp seeing blood seeping through her shirt.

She collapsed towards the floor only to be caught by the person nearest to her.

"There were people standing out there…" Mai explained "They…they made the…" She started to drift unconscious.

"Mai!" a familiar voice called as she met blackness.

Waking up she found herself in a void of darkness that seemed to go on for miles in all directions.

Mai was slightly surprised to find she was not only alone but on the floor, standing up she looked around again expecting to see something. This however, still didn't stop her from jumping when she turned around and saw one of the doctors, she had watched in the courtyard, standing directly behind her.

He had well trimmed brown hair that was gelled into place, but what struck her most was that he didn't look Japanese, infact he looked like an older, brown version of John.

"H-hello…who are you?" Mai asked the man but the man, who she found almost daunting, just kept staring at her, until she realised it wasn't her he was looking at. Turning around she was met by the sight of what looked like a ward in a hospital, only a very old fashioned version, the patients all stood by the side of their beds in off white night gowns, as the doctors walked down the aisles.

What she found strange was the nurses pulling all of the patient's stuff out of their bedside cabinets and throwing them on the floor, almost as if they were looking for something…her suspicions where clarified when one of the doctors bellowed to the room.

"I know someone in this room is responsible for theft and let me remind you all, we as doctors are here to make you better and therefore do not appreciate being robbed, whoever it was that took the item will be punished and held in isolation, should you step forwards now you will get off more lightly." He glanced around the room looking at all the scared faces of the patients, before resting on a girl in the last bed who was looking away from the man, terror obvious in her face. "Search her."

The nurse gave a nod and almost reluctantly walked over to her cupboard sending a look of regret to the girl, who looked no older than Mai did only a lot paler with greasy black hair. The nurse rummaged through the girls things before stopping frozen, holding something in her hand.

"What is it?" the doctor asked noticing her pause. The nurse stood up at this and walked back to the doctor handing him the item which turned out to be a small gold key. "So It was you, you little thief!"

"No! I didn't take it!" the girl yelled as two male nurses walked towards her and grabbed her by the arms.

"Take her to the room I'll be there soon." The doctor replied at which the girl screamed as she was taken away.

Mai watched in horror as she heard her screams in terror "No, I didn't take it! Please don't take me!"

The screams echoed as the scene vanished and all returned to black, Mai found tears on her cheeks as the girls screams echoed in her mind.

"Mai" a familiar voice called and Mai turned to see Gene "Are you all right?" he asked glancing to her midsection, which she then noticed was red with blood.

"Who was that Gene and where they going to take her?" Mai asked to which Gene shook his head.

"You have to wake up now Mai, everyone is getting worried." Gene replied and Mai found herself drifting off to sleep again. "All will be revealed soon."

Gene's last words echoed in her mind before she found herself in darkness again.

Mai opened her eyes and was met by darkness, the only light coming from the light that seeped under the door and the moonlight. The sight of the moon caused her to gasp and sit up.

"How long have I been out for?" She thought only to wince at the sharp pain in her stomach which she rubbed gently before looking around the room.

She was in what looked like a small hospital room all that was there were a bed and a table along with the normal machinery in a hospital room.

It was then the case came back to her and she was then aware of where she was and what had happened.

With a sigh she stood up slowly, slightly surprised by the pain that shot through her, but with her hand supporting her stomach she managed to move over to the door and slowly open it. Outside the room she was surprised to see all of the SPR equipment set up around a large room that could pass for a staff room. All the lights were on showing the large amount of chairs along with a few sofas and a small kitchenette in the corner of the room.

The room was almost empty except for the common asset to the room; Lin sat watching the monitors typing away as usual.

"Lin?" She called, again surprising herself with the fact her voice seemed stronger than she thought it would be.

He jumped slightly and looked over to her his eyes widening when he saw her standing across the room to him, holding onto the back of the chair for support.

Removing his headphones he turned around in the chair.

"Taniyama-san I'm not sure you should be up." He stated she only smiled at him.

"Where is everyone?" She asked moving slowly closer to him causing him to sigh in defeat knowing she wasn't going to listen.

"They are setting up the cameras and doing the room temperatures. They should be finished soon." No sooner had he spoken when the door opened to show Naru walking into the room, his eyes scanning the clip board as he walked over to Lin.

"Here are the temperatures." He merely said to which Lin gave a nod and began typing the data into the computer.

"Has she woken up yet?" Naru asked in English, in case Mai happened to overhear.

This just made her smile and laugh quietly to herself which sadly in turn made her wince and stumble against the chair. Hearing the movement Naru's line of vision snapped over to the girl, who looked up at him sheepishly.

"Ehe…Hey Naru" She said weakly feeling him glare at her before he walked over to her. She closed her eyes and prepared to be yelled at only to feel him gently move her over to the chair that was next to her; she quickly opened her eyes and looked up at him in confusion.

"You shouldn't move too much." He said quietly to her, she almost thought she could hear the concern in his voice before he moved to go back over to Lin, only for her to stop him by suddenly leaning forwards and grabbing hold of his sleeve. He looked back at her and noticed her wince at her actions so he moved back and sat opposite her.

"What is it?"

"I had a dream while I was unconscious." She stated and watched him as he gave a nod and went to get his notebook, he sat back down and waiting for her to start.


Gaaah I feel that was so OOC T_T and did I let things happen to fast? I'm sorry but this whole story was meant to be after 4 years so Naru had found and buried Gene so maybe he is a bit nicer now?
