Deep Dark Secrets
Day 2: Secrets
Mai's Apartment
Mai was getting the rest of her things ready for the case before heading out.
'Alright 30 minutes before seven, ill be their on time for once' she said with a big smile on her face. Thanks to Bou-san for not waking her up and going through the trouble of carrying her to her apartment she had gotten a good night sleep, for the first time in three weeks since her nightmares had started. The pain in her lower back had reduce as well, she felt glad that she didn't need to go through the trouble of bandaging her back before leaving, but she took some bandages just in case.
"Alright time to go." and with that she headed out.
S.P.R Office
Bou-san was waiting with Lin and Naru for Mai to arrive, he was worried about her. She had fallen asleep, but looked pale when he left her at her apartment, but she also looked so peaceful while she was sleeping.
"She has a couple of minutes left, you think she'll make it" Takigawa-san said trying to lighten up mood in the office. Standing there with two men that had the talking capability as a couple of rocks wasn't good for his nerves. He was the type of man that like to hear himself speak, or at least someone speaking to him.
"I doubt it." Naru said "She has never been on time in her life."
"I think she'll make it, when I was taking her home last night she was asleep the whole ride their." Takigawa-san said as he went to go sit on the couch.
"Well at least we know that she's sleeping" Ayako said as she walked into the office hearing what he had just said.
"Thanks for joining us, now we have to see if Mai makes it on time." Naru said as Mai was walking in. Mai gave Naru a look that said that he was wrong.
"Nice faith you have in me Naru, do you think I can't make it one time for once." she said as she walked in with a smile on her face. Lin notices she looked better then yesterday; she didn't look so weak and pale. The shine in her eyes where back as well as the color in her cheeks, and she had that smile on her face that would light a room up whenever she would walk in but of course her happy mood didn't last long.
"Well prove me wrong."
"What do you mean I came on time didn't I?"
"I asked you to be here at seven, it is now seven o' one" he said with a smirk on his face.
Mai looked at the clock and gave an angry sigh, why must he always ruin her good mood "So I'm one minute late, so what, I'm still on time."
"Well anyway, what time are John-san and Masako-Chan going to be here?" Takigawa-san asked before their bickering turned into an argument and someone got hurt, and by looking at Mai's face that someone would be Naru.
"I inform them about the case and they told me that they should arrive at the house the day after we get there." Lin-san said, he knew that Naru was only teasing Mai because he was happy she was well again but of course Naru would never say anything. Lin was also happy to see the girl feeling better; it just wasn't the same if she wasn't her cheerful self.
Everyone then headed out; loaded up the van they headed towards the house. On the rode, Lin was driving, Naru was in the passenger seat, Ayako and Takigawa where in the front back seats and Mai was in the back. Takigawa thought Mai was being a little too quiet.
"Mai-Chan what are you doing back there?" when he didn't get an answer he turned back only to find her asleep.
"She fell asleep uh?" Ayako-san asked.
"Yeah, but she doesn't look so good"
"What do you mean" Lin-san asked as he was driving but looking in the rear view mirror to look back at the sleeping girl. He saw that she had a look of discomfort on her face.
"She looks pale" was all he said as they continued to drive. Everyone was worried, but if Mai didn't tell them anything how could they help her.
She was dreaming again, the same dream that has been hunting her for over three weeks. By the time she was surrounded in darkness she heard a voice.
"Mai…. Mai" the voice called from the dark; it was a different voice, not the normal one that usually hunts her in her dreams but a kind and gentle voice that filled her heart with warmth.
'Who is it' she thought as she recognized the voice.
"Mai…. Mai its time to wake up" when Mai opened her eyes she wasn't in the dark, she found herself back in the van face to face with Lin-san who was wakening her up. He was so close that she could feel the warmth radiating off his body. She blushed at the small distance that was between them. It seemed that while Mai was asleep she moved from a sitting position to a laying one. Lin-san stood back up to his normal height when he notice she was finally awake.
"Are you feeling well Mai-san" he's voice was fill with concern. She notice he was worried and that was the last thing she wanted him to be.
"I'm fine Lin-san, there's no need for you to worry" she gave him a smile. He was looking at her with an expression of unease; she knew he didn't believe her. Out of everyone in S.P.R she knew she wouldn't be able to hide her dreams from him that long. He was just too vigilant.
Stepping out of the van she notices that the sky was beginning to fill with colors of orange and purple. She found the rest of her co-workers looking at the house. It was BIG. It was surrounded by a forest that went on for miles; the house was composed out of four big buildings that were connected by hallways, each building bigger then the other. You can say it looked like a house that was built for royalty in the old days.
"It's so big" Ayako-san said as she looked at the house.
"Yeah…. What do you think Mai-Chan?" but when Takigawa turned around to ask her he found her gone. Lin-San then pointed towards the house, he saw that she and Naru had already started for the door, Lin-san would have gone with them but someone needed to stay and help these two get out of their shock.
After Ayako and Takigawa caught up with them (Lin left them after he pointed them in the right direction) they entered the house and a maid was waiting for them.
"Welcome to the Miya manor" she said with a bow, the four of bowed back.
"Come this way Fakia-dono and Yasaki-dono are waiting for you" she said as she led them to another room the house was bigger from the inside then it was form the outside, everything was decorated in an old fashion, the hallways were long and elegant. The maid led them to another building of the house that had other rooms in it; she pulled back a sliding door to revile an office where the two men were waiting for them.
"Welcome, we hope you were able to find the house alright" said Fakir while he got up and walked over to them. Yasaki was still sitting at the table reading over some papers he had in his hand.
Mai's point-of-view
When we entered the room, fakir got up from the table and came to greet us, when he was shaking hands with me he looked me straight in the eyes, and when I looked behind him Yasaki seemed to stop reading what ever he had in his hand to look at me as well, they were making this hard for me. I couldn't to nothing but look away.
Naru's point-of-view
When we entered the room the one named Fakir got up to greet us, but the one named Yasaki stayed sitting, he shook hands with each of us, but when he got to Mai I notice he was staring and it seemed that Yasaki stopped reading whatever he held in his hand to stare as well, it wasn't obvious but I could tell as well as Lin that they were staring at her, Mai just looked away as thought it was nothing.
Normal point-of-view
They followed him to sit down around the table that was in the middle of the room; Mai sat between Naru and Lin, while Takigawa was at the left of Naru and Ayako beside him, both men sat across from them.
"Well, I hope you'll have everything you need" Yasaki said getting the groups attention.
"We have all the equipment we need all I need now are the rooms my staff and me can occupy and an extra room to use as our base." Naru said.
"Yes, we have the rooms ready for you and your staff" Fakir said.
"Do you mind telling us more about the family that use to live in this house" Naru asked.
"This house' Yasaki started 'was, well is still owned by the Miya family, which was made up of three people, Kouyou who was a husband and a father and his partner Yuka who was his wife and the mother of their only child."
"And what happen to the them?" Lin-san asked with interest.
"They were both found dead six years ago in their room" Yasaki said letting a little emotion show on his face.
"And their child"
"She was found by their side, covered in their blood. It seems that she was their and saw their murder or either she was the one who found them and stayed with them until they died. Its still not clear which is true." Fakir said quickly, and by the look on his face, he didn't want to stay on the subject for long.
"How did they die?" Mai asked, her team mates where not shocked that Mai asked the question, she would always feel sorry for the people they work for, but what was wired was that this was the first time she had spoken up during their time in the house. Ever since they stepped through the door she had been so silent that they had almost forgotten that she was here.
"We do not know, they said their bodies look as thought someone had stabbed them numerous of times, their entire body were covered with many fatal wounds, they believed they were murdered as do we, it was a miracle that their daughter wasn't killed in the attack."
"How are you connected to this family?" Takigawa asked suspicions for the two men.
"I, Yasaki and others used to live her with them, why do you think the house is so big for, of course a family of three wouldn't need a house so grand, and their daughter was young at the time we came to live here" Fakir said with a hint of amusement.
"Do you have any idea why they were killed?" Naru asked, with the question the amusement in fakir's face vanished and a cheerless expression replaced it.
"We believe the Miya family was curded" fakir said.
"And we believe they still are today" Yasaki said
"Do you mean their spirits aren't able to pass on?" Ayako asked confused.
"The blood line is still alive, it lives within their daughter" Yasaki clarified.
"What happened to their daughter?" Takigawa asked trying make sense of all this.
"When we came back and found her with the body of her parents we immediately called the police to see what they could find out about the murder, but that was a mistake. When they found out that she didn't have any living relatives they sent her to a foster home." Fakir said "But it seems that the family she was taken into died, first the foster father, then the mother, we know that she loved them as thought they were her real parents, so she took it pretty hard. After the mother died she was old enough to take care of herself so she didn't contact us, it wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that she finally did. She told us about the cures she thinks her family is in, although she didn't give us any details. Then after that she told use to contact you guys."
"Well I think that is enough for today, you guys came pretty late and you must be tired, why don't you leave you equipment in your car for tonight and we can show you to your rooms" Yasaki said while leading them to the door. Yasaki and Fakir took the team and showed each one which room they would be sleeping in, Mai was the last one to be showed to her room.
"I hope this is to your liking" fakir said with a smirk on his face. Him, Mai and Yasaki were the only ones in the hallway right now, they were free to talk without anyone around to listen.
"Were you ever going to tell us" Yasaki said, his face was blank but his voice was filled with hurt, Mai's eyes widened but then an unaffected mask replaced her shock.
"When did you guys…." She asked her voice emotionless. Mai wasn't an idiot, she knew they would discover her sooner or later, and she would have like it better if it had been later.
"Just because you changed you name doesn't mean anything, but you can say I'm impress, trying to sneak past us like that." Fakir said with annoyance in his voice.
"Fakir, Yasaki I would like it if you scold me in the morning, I'm tired right now"
"Of course, sleep well Mai-sama" Fakir said fuming as he left, Yasaki made a move to leave, looking back at Mai he said with a small smile on his face
"Welcome home Mai-dono" with that said he left. Mai watched them as the left the hallway into their own room, she let out a sigh of frustration and entered her own room, with only one thought in her mind…..
