*I do not own ghost hunt.

Chapter 4

I opened my eyes and stared at the seeling. I couldn't sleep the whole night because I've been thinking of what happened yesterday with Naru. I glanced at the clock. 9:30am. I gasped and hurrielly jumped off of the bed and ran to the bathroom. " I overslept again! I'm already late, Naru's going to be so mad at me." After I washed my face and brushed my teeth, I grabbed a toast and my bag and slammed the door behind me.

I'm now in front of the SPR's door. 'How should I act in front of him?' I started panicking.' I'm so stupid, why am I thinking of that now? What about the others? How am I going to tell them? And Masako... I don't want her to hate me more than she already does.' I shook my head and looked up. I pulled myself together and opened the door. As soon as I walked in the office, everything was silent and the five pairs of eyes looked towards me. As usual, Lin didn't even look away from his computer. I froze as I looked at them one by one, wondering why they're looking so intensely at me.' Oh my god, don't tell me Naru already told them about us!'

"Hello everyone." i hurriedly walked across the room and sat on the couch, next to Yasuhara. He smiled at me and bowed his head lightly as a greeting. 'What's wrong with him? He seems...quieter than usual.'

"What's wrong with you guys?" I asked, carefully. Monk was the one who answered me.

"What do you mean? Nothing is wrong, we don't know what you're talking about. Right guys? He looked at Ayako with a nervous look.

They know.

I heard John sigh and then he looked at me with gentle eyes.

"We heard where we're going today for the case so we were talking about that before you came. You only caught us by surprise." He explained as everyone nodded in agreement.

"Are you okay?" Ayako asked, with a motherly concerned look.

" Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be? I've finally been able to live with the fact that my family's gone. Just going back there won't affect me at all." I said with a cheerful smile. Finally, everyone seemed to relax and I heard a few sighs of relief. The office's door suddenly opened and Naru appeared. I blushed a little when I looked at his face, remembering yesterday's scene.

"Mai, come in my office." He called out and went in again, leaving the door slightly opened.

I gulped and walked towards the office, leaving everyone talking with each other. I slightly opened the door and peeked my head in the room."Do you need something?"

"Come in."

I carefully closed the door and stood by his desk." I'm sorry I know I'm late, I overslept. Please don't get mad." I added before he says something.

He looked up at me and sighed.

" I'm not even surprised anymore. But that's not why I called you." I looked at him with a confused look.

"About yesterday...In my opinion, it would be better to keep it a secret. I don't want everyone to make a fuss about it and It would only bother me during my work."

" Okay, I wasn't going to tell them anyway." I said as I clunched my fists ' You didn't have to say it like it was a bother to you.' I added in my mind.

" Well, if you don't need anything else, I'm going to help the others for the equipment." I said as I turned my back on him.

As I placed my hand on the door knob, I felt a pair of strong arms wrapping around my stomach gently pulling me until my back rest on Naru's chest. He rested his head on my shoulder. I blushed when I felt his breath brushing my neck.

" Don't misunderstand, I know you think that it bothers me. That's not true, I just know they would probably not stop asking silly questions and teasing us, mostly you." His lips brushed against my shoulder as he was talking. He released me a little and turned me around to face him. He gently touched my cheek with his right hand and the other wrapped around my waist pulling me closer and finally his lips reached mine. He kissed me so gently like if I would break at any moment. Suddenly Lin opened the door and immediately closed back the door when he saw us. I blushed and looked down. Naru frowned and sighed.

" If it's Lin, I'm not won't tell anything."

We heard knocking on the door, Naru went back and sat on the chair.

"Come in." Naru said.

Lin came in and closed the door behind him.

" We're ready to leave, Naru." He said calmly without looking at me.

" Alright. Let's go, Mai." I nodded shyly and followed Naru.

"Mai-chaaan, let's sit next to each other. I feel a little tired so I might fall asleep on your shoulder, which I wouldn't mind at all." Yasu said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and winked at me. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

I could feel Naru's glare on us. I pushed down his arm.

''If I had to go in the same car as you, I would definitely not sit next to you because I don't want you to droll on my shoulder." I said sarcastically.

«So meeaaann. Well then... Maybe Bou-san wouldn't mind, would he?" He said as he looked at Monk while smirking. Monk flinched and looked at him with a disgusted look. He started backing off as Yasu started walking towards him.

''Don't you dare, Yasu." Monk groaned.

''What do you mean, Bou-san?" Yasu said, innocently.

Ayako walked over them and hit them both on the head with her hand bag, annoyed. Monk looked at her with angry eyes and Yasu cried out in pain.

" Quit it already, you both. We don't need two kids to babysit during the case, we already have a lot of things to do. Besides, Yasu." He looked at her as she mentioned his name. " It's either Mai or Monk." She said with a smirk.

Yasu's lips twitched upwards as I rolled my eyes. He turned his gaze on me and looked back at monk.

" Mai's the best after all." He said as he winked at me.

I sighed and glanced up at Naru. He seems quite irritated but stayed quiet.

"We have to go now, Naru." Lin said.

Naru nodded. " Guys, quit fooling around and get in the cars. We're leaving. Mai you're coming with me." I nodded as he stepped out.

I felt someone glaring at me intensely. I turned around and figured that it was Masako. She glared at me for a moment and the lifted her chin up and walked out. I sighed. After everyone stepped out of the office, I closed the door, locked it and ran towards Naru's car. Lin's the one who's driving. It's not even surprising, Naru doesn't like to drive so he never drove except if he doesn't have a choice. I sad in the back seat beside Naru. He took out of his bag a thick book and started reading it. I sighed. 'Looks like it's going to be a long two hours drive way. After five minutes, I decided to play some games on my phone. After ten minutes, I got bored and put my phone back in my bag and glanced at Naru.

"Naru."

He sighed and looked up me." What?"

''I'm bored." I stated. ''let's talk."

" I don't have the patience to keep a converstation going with you." He said.

" How can you talk to your girlfriend like that? " I mumbled. Naru sighed heavily as he returned the book in his bag. Then he pulled me and placed his arms around me. I smiled and clung into his shirt. He started stroking my hair.

" Tell me about this case, you still haven't told me." I said as I hid my face further into his shirt.

" The young couple think something is haunting their house. They hear a lot of noises during the night. The voices belonged to a child; a little boy. They also mentioned in one room, they found writings on the wall written with blood. Sometimes they hear shouting and crying in that same room, it appeared to be the same voice." I flinched. Naru noticed it so he put his finger under my chin and lift it up to make me look at him properly. My eyes instantly started to get wet.

''What's wrong?" He asked me.

"Nothing... It's just that I never went back there after I left, so it's a little overwhelming. It brought up some unwanted memories." His eyes softened. He didn't ask anything else; he only pulled me closer to him and put a gentle kiss on my forehead. I ran my fingers on his collar bone as he started stroking my hair again. Suddenly, Lin's voice broke the long silence.

«We're here." He stated.

"Alright. Let's go, Mai." I nodded and stepped out of the car. As soon as I did, I completely froze, looking at the house. It was a small white house with a red rooftop. The front door was red as well. It was my old house. I couldn't breath." It can't be..."

"Mai?" Naru looked at me. He hold my hand when he noticed I gave him no answer. Lin turned back to see what was going on.

"Mai? What's wrong?" He asked as he lightly tightened his grab.

"My...my house..." It was the only think I could say.

Naru told Lin to go and set up the equipment with the others. He left us after a second of hesitation.

Tears started falling down on my face like waterfalls. I grabbed into naru shirt because I couldn't stand on my feet anymore. He caught me and hugged me tightly. He didn't say anything.

"Why...did it have to be...this house?" I said between sobs.

"Calm down, Mai." He said softly near my ear. He kept on saying sweet comforting words until it calmed me down a little. He kissed my forehead before releasing me. He gently wiped my tears and grabbed my hand tightly.

"Should we go? Everyone's waiting for us. They'll probably get mad at you for leaving them setting up the equipment without your help though." He said with a small smile. I giggled and we started walking towards the house. The door was slightly open, we went in and the couple welcomed us.

" Thank you so much for coming, Shibuya-san." She looked at me with confused eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Taniyama Mai, Na- Shibuya-san's assistant. It's nice to meet you." I said as I bowed lightly with a smile.

" Oh I'm quite surprised. You're a very cute assistant, Taniyama-san. I'm Yukimura Ai, and this is Yukimura Toshi; my husband." she said as she pointed the young man. " I guess Shibuya-san already told you everything?" She asked.

"Yes." I answered.

"May I ask where my coworkers are?" Naru asked.

"They're in the room upstairs. Follow me." She turned around and headed towards the stairs. We followed her silently as I was looking around the house. Nothing changed since last time I abandoned this house. Suddenly, I felt uneasy, my head was spinning. I looked up at Naru and called him out. He didn't seem to hear me; he just kept on ... Of course he didn't, nothing came out of my mouth. Why can't I speak? What is happening to m-

''Mainee-chan..." I froze when I heard it. It seems so familiar to me, that name... My kid brother was the only one who called me like that. What's going on? I felt myself being pulled from behind. I let myself fall down on the stairs. I had no choice, the thing completely paralyzed me.

Soo this was chapter 4, I hope you liked it! Please Review!
