Here is the second chapter, and again I thank you for reading my story. Please feel free to leave me a review. This is my first story, and I will update it as often as I can. I do not own Ghost Hunt, because if I did Lin/Mai would be real. The only thing I own are the characters that I create. Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy.

-Flashback/Scene-

Koujo Lin was standing next to a beautiful lake, and watched as the breeze played upon the water, and the leaves fell from the trees. He had decided today was a beautiful fall day. He stood there watching the scene before him, not noticing someone sneak up behind him.

"Boo!" A feminine voice shouted as she poked the onmyoji in the sides, giggling when he jumped.

"Liv, what was that for?" Lin shouted at the woman in front of him.

"Oh just for the fun of it Koujo, and come on, how many times has someone been able to sneak up on you?" Liv replied smiling.

Koujo laughed at the woman in front of him. She was right, the only person that could ever sneak up on him, was her. As the woman turned towards the lake she smiled, and Koujo was reminded why he fell in love with her again.

Olivia Jones, was a tall, about a head shorter that him, beautiful young woman. She was only a year younger than him, which would make her 21. She had long red hair, down to her bottom, and beautiful big brown eyes. She was very powerful as well, being an onmyoji, a perfect medium, a user of qigong, along with all sorts of other abilities. She is said to be the most powerful psychic ever born. Even with everything that she carries on her shoulders, she still manages to laugh, and smile. Everyone is drawn to her happy go lucky personality, and that was what caused him to fall in love with her. She was the complete opposite of him. 'Opposites attract I guess.' He thought.

"Do you know when those two are going to be here?" He asked her while spinning her around to face him, and wrapping his arms around her.

"Not sure, they should be here any minute, we were supposed to meet her at 3 and it is five minutes till." She replied as she reached up and kissed him passionately.

"Livia, Lin!" the two heard as they pulled apart.

"Hello G, Oli, can't you two ever show up on time?" Olivia asked as the two boys ran up to her and hugged her.

"Well we would have been here sooner, but Noll decided he wanted to finish the chapter he was reading." Gene said smiling, then glaring at his brother.

"It was a really good chapter Gene. Sorry, for being late, you two." Noll apologized.

"Don't worry about it Oliver, we were enjoying the scenery." Koujo said as he looked at Olivia lovingly.

"Eww, come on we don't want to know what you two do when you are alone." Oliver and Gene replied at the same time, sticking their tongues out.

"Don't worry, you two will…" Olivia was cut off by someone yelling her name.

"OLIVIA!" An old man yelled frantically as he ran up to the group.

"What's wrong Grandfather?" Olivia and Koujo asked in unison.

"They're back, they have murdered your parents Olivia." The old man replied trying to catch his breath, as the other four stood there in shock.

"Are you sure it was them?" Olivia asked trying to keep her voice calm, and keep the tears from falling. If the Shadow Gang was back, she had to be strong.

The old man grabbed her arm, and began pulling her after him, as the other three followed after. As soon as they got to a beautiful two story Victorian house, he stopped. You could smell the blood from right outside the door, and Olivia was too scared to go in the house.

"I can't go in there Grandfather, if I walk in that house they will know I am here." She said her voice shaking with fear, anger, and loss.

"You must leave hear, Olivia, I must hide you, until it is time to fight them." He replied with sadness in his voice.

"When do we leave Grandfather?" Koujo asked stepping beside her and wrapping his arms around her.

The old man looked at his grandson with sadness, and regret. He knew this would hurt all of them, but it was the only way. No one could know where Olivia was, or who she was. "She must go by herself Koujo, I am sorry. It is the only way to really hide her. I don't even know where she is going."

"No! I can't leave him Grandfather, I love him. There has to be another word please!" Olivia begged as she gripped Koujo's shirt tighter, tears streaming down her face. Oliver and Eugene had tears running down their faces as well.

"I am sorry my child, it must happen this way. If anyone knows of your location and identity, they would be tortured and killed. We must go now, before they pick up your scent." The old man replied with tears running down his face.

Shocked, at the tears Olivia knew in her heart that this was the only way to truly protect those she truly loved. She looked at Oli and G, and bent down and hugged them, then kissed both of them on the cheeks. After she was done with the twins, the hardest part came, saying goodbye, for who knows how long, to the man she loved more than any other. She looked up into his beautiful gray eye, the other is always covered, and smiled a sad smile. She then tugged on his tie, and as he lowered his head a little, she kissed him. She put all of her emotions in this kiss, her pain, her fear, her love, her faith, everything. He deepened the kiss, and they stood there kissing until the need to breath won over. She then again looked into his eye and with tears in her eyes said. "Goodbye my love, I will never forget you."

Koujo felt like screaming as he heard his grandfather speak those words, for he knew they were true and this was probably the last time he would see his beloved ever again. He looked down into her eyes and could see everything she wanted to say, and he hoped she could read what he could not say in his as well. When she tugged on his tie, he knew what she wanted, and he more than happy to give it to her. As her lips collided with his, he felt every emotion that was running through her, as so he poured all his emotions into that same kiss. He wished it could last forever, but knew it could not. As they pulled apart he looked into those beautiful brown eyes again, and his heart broke. For he saw tear filled eyes of sorrow, and loss, and pain. He never wished to see that in her once bright joyful eyes. Then she said those words, and he lost it, tears streamed down his cheeks, and he replied. "I will never say goodbye, but I will say until we meet again. I love you with everything I have and am, and I will never stop."

As the old man pulled her away from her friends and her lover, she watched with tears streaming down her face, and wondering if what Koujo said was true. Would she see them again, or would she lose the only family she had left forever. She hated that the Shadow Gang could have so much control over her life. Sometimes she wished she wasn't born the way she was, but then when she thought about someone else going through all this heartache and pain, she decided right then, to accept it, and be strong. Suddenly they stopped as she saw they were in front of an alter. She looked up at the man who had trained her in so much, and had become a surrogate grandfather to her. "What are we doing here Grandfather?"

He remained silent, as he guided her to a table and had her lay down on her stomach. "Stay still my child, I will not hurt you, I must do this for your own safety." As soon as he said this he lifted her shirt so her back was showing. He walked to the alter, and began reading, something Olivia didn't even recognize, then all of a sudden she felt a tingling sensation in her back. She began to worry as the sensation began to spread all over her body, and she began to feel dizzy. She did not move though, because she trusted the old man with her life, and knew he would never hurt her. A little while later she sat up, and noticed something weird. When she first sat on the table her feet touched the ground, now they didn't. She began to panic.

"What happened to me, what did you do?" She asked panic in her voice.

"I have placed a spell on you, my darling child. Come with me." He helped her off the table and to a full length mirror. She gasped as she saw her reflection. She was now about 158cm tall, with reddish brown short hair, and brown eyes, at least I got to keep those, she also seemed to be about the same age as Oli and G. She looked at her grandfather for an explanation, he began. "The spell changed your appearance and your age, to confuse the enemy. I am also giving you a new name, but that is all I know. The rest you will find out later."

"A new body, a new name, a new home, a new family, I don't know if I can do this." She said the panic in her voice more evident.

"You must Taniyama Mai. That is your new name. That is all I can say. Before you go, do you have any last words for anyone? Here, take these and go to the airport. When you get there go to the front desk and ask for the ticket under your new name, now you must go now." He said as he pushed her towards a car waiting for her.

"Tell him I love him, and that I will never forget him!" She yelled as she ran to the car and jumped in. The old man watched as the car drove away, tears in his eyes, as Olivia's shiki buzzed around his head, distressed that they could not be with their master/and friend.
