A/N: :D :D :D! YAY YOU GUYS LIKE IT. That makes me happy, tee-hee. I decided to start naming the chapters, aha. Good idea or no? Anyways, no long introduction this time; let's get right to the story! I hope this shall be a long-ish chapter! (I tried to make it long...I don't know if it is or not)

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GHOST HUNT, GOT THAT?

One cup of spilled coke, a saddened Yasu and a plane ride later, the gang had finally arrived in England, Mai mentally panicking the whole time.

"So, where are we staying exactly?" Ayako asked, curiously.

"In the manor itself. It's now public land, only restricting pranksters off its land." Martin replied, much to Mai's dismay. Ayako nodded, accepting the answer.

"Nothing went missing? Everybody's luggage is accounted for?" Luella asked, concerned in a motherly-fashion. Everyone nodded, double-checking that all their bags were safely tucked into the van's trunk.

"Good, then let's head out." Naru cut in, motioning for everyone to get into the van. As Mai was climbing into the van, her hold faltered and she found herself falling backwards. Letting loose a cry of anguish, she closed her eyes and waited for the pain, but it never came. Opening one eye, she found herself staring into the sapphire-blue eyes of Naru. Blinking, she felt her face heat up as she realized what had just happened; Naru had caught her before she fell.

"Clumsy idiot." He mocked, smirking. She glared back, but wasn't ready to trust her voice yet. Naru set her upright and hopped into the passenger-seat, with the utmost grace.

"Stupid NARU!" Mai yelled, clenching her fists before jumping into the van.

A few hours later, they arrived at the manor. Standing in front of the gates, the only thing Mai felt was dread. Dread with a side of panic.

"Something wrong, Mai?" Lin's soft voice startled her, and she jumped into the air. Whirling around, she came face-to-face with the calm, Chinese man.

"E-Eh, nothing is wrong Lin-san!" Mai assured him, despite her churning insides.

Lin gave her a reproachable look, before nodding once and turning back to the van. Taking in a deep breath, the frightened girl tried desperately to calm herself down.

"Alright, gang! Let's head in!" Madoka called over the noise, pointing towards the gates.

Turning her head in the direction of the gates, she felt her breathing hitch. The once-beautiful, golden gates were now a rusty-brown, having been neglected for years. With a jolt, Mai realized it used to be Frederic's job to maintain the well-being of the gardens and the gates; after he'd left, nobody would have cared. Did that mean the beautiful rose garden that took years to perfect was dead, or decaying? Mai shivered involuntarily at the thought; her mother used to cherish the garden.

"Mai?" Ayako called, interrupting the girl's thought. Blinking, Mai's face turned sheepish as she realized everyone was already at the threshold of the house, and were currently waiting for her to hurry up.

"Sorry..." Mai muttered, before scurrying over. As soon as she found herself standing beside Bou-san, Naru opened the door. With that, the horrors began.

Screams. The screams of her mother. Yelling. The voice of her father. They entered her head as soon as she stepped into the foyer, and she found herself falling to her knees in agony. Moaning in pain, she covered her ears with her palms, desperately trying to block out the voices. Distinctly, she could hear the others calling her name, sounding worried and frightened. Looking up, her eyes widened as she watched the candles come to life with licks of purple-blue flames, filling the foyer with various shades of purple, blue and black.

"No...NO...NOOO!" Mai screamed, closing her eyes as all the memories came back to her. The pain of losing her parents. The fear of the light outside her door. The horror caused by the screaming, yelling and noises. The night her life fell to pieces. The night a part of her had died.

"MAI!" Naru's voice was clear over the roar in her ears. Still, she couldn't reach out for him. Still, she didn't try. She stared as she watched the carpet stain itself with blood, ruby-red and vibrant. It looked almost fresh. Almost as if the murder was happening now.

"No, stop..." Mai begged, shaking her head around. The tears came, thick and flowing. She felt the carpet below her become wet, as her tears cascaded down her cheeks in fat droplets. She whimpered, the mental pain becoming too much to bear. With that, she blacked out, hitting the carpet hard.

"MAI!" Naru yelled. He was scared, to say the least. They had just walked in when Mai had fallen to the floor, screaming and begging for something, or someone, to stop. He watched alongside the others, helpless, as Mai went through hell. Then, when the pain she was feeling became too much to bear, she'd fallen into unconsciousness.

"Did you enjoy that? Do you like not knowing why your precious little princess was in agony?" A voice echoed through the foyer, causing everyone to become alert. Naru's eyes narrowed down to slits, as he turned around on the spot.

"You'll be seeing much more of that. Oh yes. I intend on killing that worthless piece of trash slowly but surely. You'll have to stand by and be helpless, just like MY family was when I was in pain!" The voice roared. Naru winced at the volume; his ears were rather sensitive. Then came silence. Unbearable silence. Bou-san walked over to where Mai lay, still.

"Let's put her somewhere safe." He suggested, picking her up bridal-style. The others nodded, cautious and worried. Naru stood there, watching, as everyone else headed down the hallway. He didn't follow; he needed some time to himself to think over what just happened.

"Does Mai have a connection to this place?" He thought out loud, his brain working. Was it possible that Mai had been here before? He shook his head, suddenly wary of this case.

"Take care of her, Noll." A voice whispered. His head snapped up, wondering who was speaking for the fact his parents had left with the gang. Nobody else called him Noll. Then, he saw her.

A female ghost floated in front of him, watching him with sad, dead eyes. Her hair, from what he could see, was the same caramel colour as Mai's. Her skin, however, was deathly pale; as was her night-gown. The most disturbing thing, however, was the blood that stained the front in splatters and globs.

"Hannah?" He guessed wearily. The lady smiled and nodded in confirmation. She floated around him in lazy circles, assessing him.

"He doesn't want her alive, Noll. He...he is ruthless. He must be stopped, and only Ale-Mai can do that." The lady explained, her eyes brimming with tears. Naru nodded, not noticing the lady's slip up.

"Another thing, Noll. The spirit...it...it was the one that killed your brother. Eugene had come here in high hopes of solving this case, but didn't have the PK strength to stop him." The lady continued sadly, watching Naru for his reaction.

"It...what?" Naru asked blankly. The spirit...it...his brother? The lady smiled sadly, before opening her arms widely.

"Come, Oliver Davis. Let us explore the world of visions, and let me show you where you have seen me before." She whispered. Naru considered the offer at hand; was it a trick? What if it was Hannah doing all the damage? She knows about my brother...Naru mused. Deciding to go against logic and his brain, he went with his heart.

"Take me away, Hannah Raine." He whispered, walking towards her. In a flash, they were floating above a banquet hall. He noticed, with amazement, that he knew the hall. It had been where, about 15 years ago, they had a Christmas party for the worlds most known scientists. His parents threw it.

"Do you remember, Noll?" Hannah asked sadly, gazing at him. He nodded hesitantly, the events of the night playing in his head, just as they played out beneath him.

"Come, let us get a better view of what I want to show you." Hannah suggested, grabbing him hand and pulling him towards a certain cluster in the crowd.

As they came closer, he realized, with a shock, that it was his parents. His mother donned a beautiful, sea-blue party dress whilst his father wore a tux, adorned with a tie that matched his mother's dress colour. With another shock, he distinguished himself from his mothers legs, where a three-year-old Naru stood, watching his parents mingle.

"Now, tell me Noll. Who is it that your parents are talking with?" Hannah's soft voice shook him out of his reverie. Glancing over to where his mother's attention was directed, he stared at the seemingly happy couple that stood chatting with them.

The lady wore a beautiful, floor-length dress, the colour of the midnight sky. Her husband wore a tux the same colour as the lady's dress, matched with a black tie. They made a beautiful couple, all in all. With a jolt, he realized that Hannah was the beautiful lady who was deep in chat with his mother.

"Shall we go just a tad closer to hear what we were saying?" Hannah asked softly, grabbing Naru's upper-arm gently. Wordlessly, he nodded whilst watching the happy couple converse. Hannah pulled them down so low that they were basically standing right beside the group.

"...I'm so worried. Alexis' powers are growing rapidly and we don't know how much longer she can control them!" Hannah was saying, exasperated. Luella and Martin were nodding, concerned yet thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"You'll have to train her, Hannah. There's nothing else we can tell you, I'm afraid." Martin replied sadly, shaking his head in defeat.

"She's only 3, Martin! Do you honestly thi-" Derrick, the father, exclaimed angrily, but his wife cut him off.

"They're right, Derrick. We're going to have to teach her to control her powers...one way or another."

Naru's heart stopped at those words; one way or another? What did she have in mind for 'another'? Hannah, the one floating beside him, turned and spoke.

"It meant...putting her in a room where you couldn't hurt anyone." She explained, her voice strained. Naru nodded, understanding. To be honest, he was somewhat relieved; he had been expecting something worse. Turning back to the conversation, he listened carefully to what they were saying.

"So, we teach her." Derrick stated, his voice emotionless. The other three nodded, wary yet apprehensive expressions on their faces.

"PK is a unique, yet deadly, gift. Noll and Gene are gifted with it; god forbid their powers start growing as much as Lexi's." Luella murmured, wiping away a stray tear. Martin nodded, putting an arm around her comfortingly.

"I think it's time we left. It's far past Alexis' bed-time. Good-bye you two, thank you for the advice." Hannah murmured, before turning away and walking towards the exit. Naru thought that was all he had to hear, so he started floating back up.

However, Hannah grabbed his hand and led them in the direction of the couple's retreating backs. Confused, Naru followed her, unsure of what more there was to hear. They floated through the doors, ending up in the courtyard outside. There were clusters of fully blooming trees everywhere, leaving an earthy smell in the air.

"Come, Alexis! Say bye to Gene!" Hannah, the one from the vision, called out into the trees. With a shock, he watched as his brother (a three-year old version, at least) came running out of the trees, laughing. In tow was a small, petite girl, who could only be Alexis Raine. They were giggling, glancing at each other sheepishly.

"Bye Genie!" Alexis called over her shoulder as she walked to where her parents stood, waiting patiently. Gene waved back, a huge smile on his face. Naru watched his brother with sad, misty eyes.

"Come Noll. We must go." Hannah whispered, tugging on his hand. He complied, letting her lead him out of the memory. Suddenly, they were back in the foyer; in Naru's time.

"They were best friends until Alexis disappeared. A part of Gene died when he heard the news, so he came year, years later, to investigate himself. That resulted in him dying..." Hannah whispered. Naru nodded, the pieces of the puzzle clicking in his head.

"I must go, child. I'll keep in touch as much I can though. One more thing, though; your brother's body can be found in this manor. I hope you can find it and give the dear a proper funeral." Hannah continued, her eyes sad as ever.

"I'll find it, no matter what. I promise you, Hannah. I promise that I shall find the body, and find Alexis." Naru replied, a fire burning in his eyes.

Naru now had his goal; his reason to solve this case.

A/N: So I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing, and I had a quiet weekend! I hope that was long ago, and I hope it was interesting enough! Now, I'm off to bed. Night everyone! Oh! And R&R please! Naru demands it :D
