Disclaimer: I forgot last chapter but I do not own Ghost Hunt. I do, however, wish I owned Naru.

Ayako woke up to a strange scream. She sat up in bed and turned her lamp on. As she adjusted to the light, she heard a small child crying. Confused, she looked over to see a young child in Mais bed. The little girl had sandy brown hair and huge brown eyes. She was in the same pajama top Mai had worn to bed. On the child, however it was swallowing her and the neck was hanging around her small waist. Ayako estimated the small thing to be between two or three. She was shaking and crying from fear.

Immediately she rushed over the bed and picked her up.

"Ayako?", the small child asked, "What's going on? And why are you so big?"

Looking closer at the child, she came to an unbelievable conclusion. Those eyes looked awful familiar. So did that hair. There was no denying it, this child looked identical to Mai.

"Mai?", she asked cautiously, "Is that you?"

Tanayama nodded. Ayako sat in shock a moment then realized she could not see Masako on her bed. She saw only a tiny lump in the bed. After gathering some courage, she found another young girl who looked to be about three. This girl had porcelian colored skin and dark hair. She was still asleep and Ayako merely put her blanket back on as she thought about what to do.

After a few minutes, she calmly wrapped Mai in her pajama top the best she could and picked her up. The little girl had falled back to sleep. Turning her arms into a cradle, she carried the young child down the hall to the guys room. She knocked quickly and loudly to get their attention. Lin was the first to the door and looked at Ayakos arms confused.

"What, may I ask, is THAT?", he asked.

"I think this is Mai,", explained Ayako, "and Masako is in the room in a similar state. Please get everyone into our room."

While she waited for the men to arrive, she placed both girls on Masakos bed and slipped the much too big shirt off the dark haired child. She would just have to figure out how to make some sort of clothes work later. For the moment, she just tucked both of them in.
