i do not own ghost hunt sadly:( thnaks for reading!
The blue and red lights on the police car flashed across mai's face as the paramedics took away the maids body on a stretcher. Once the detectives were done questioning her naru sent her inside to sleep.
"But I don't want to sleep. I'll have nightmares" she protested. Naru sighed, he wasn't thrilled with the idea of mai staying up so late after such a traumatizing experience but he knew she was right and he would rather have a tiered mai than a scared mai.
"Fine but I want you on the couch in base, lin will watch over you" he knew Lin would not be happy to say the least with the idea of mai-sitting but Lin would never say anything to him about it. Lin knew how much naru cared for mai and he also knew that if anything serious happened to her there would be hell to pay. Mai frowned.
"He doesn't have to watch me I'm a big girl" it was just silly in mai's opinion to have Lin watch her, she wasn't in any danger. Naru sighed.
"This is not up for discussion mai, I won't have you going into shock, you don't do enough work as is" mai crossed her arms and got ready to protest but naru beat her to it.
"I don't care if you think you can handle yourself, I've paid one too many hospital bills for you as of right now" mai's face was red with embarrassment. It wasn't her fault ghost seemed to think there was a sign on her back that said 'rent-a-victim'.
"That's not fair! I'm not in any danger!" mai yelled frustrated by naru's constant reminder of her bad luck. Naru narrowed his eyes at her then glanced at Ayako, she shot disapproving look at him. He sighed, giving into their stubbornness.
"Take it easy alright? I don't want you fainting or it'll come out of your salary" he threatened her before heading into the house to talk to Lin.
Mai smiled, thinking about her boss and how she had him wrapped him around her little finger.
Not that he needed to know that.

Kyo watched as the white rocks at the bottom of the crystal clear pond rolled with the current. For a moment everything was peaceful. His brothers were gone on a long vacation with their friends while his mother and father left of Paris to do so expensive shopping. And more importantly he was alone. Finley alone, he had all the time in the world to sit back and do absolutely nothing. He leaned back on the bank of the pond to sock up some warm sun.
Kyo smiled as a pleasant thought entered his mind. He and his father were playing in the pond when his mother was out and they were having a good time, ruff-housing and giving each other swift kicks and punches. That was when he was four and things had been much different then.
Now, he was lucky to get a 'good morning' or an 'I love you' once in a blue moon. But he could not blame them. They were still very depressed about it. Sometimes he could still here his mother crying late at night when she thought no one could hear. But he could, he always could.
Kyo's eye's were just about to close when he herd his name being called.
"Kyo-chan! Koy-chan! Oh, there you are everyone's been looking for you we were worried" mai said running up to him and smiled. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He vaguely remembered the girl when they first got here. She was rather plain. Her short brown hair was wind-blown and there were ugly black bags under her eye's indicating lack of sleep. 'Dose that boss of hers ever let her sleep?'
He raised his eyebrow- more towards his unspoken question than the girl.
"Why would you be worried? That's stupid" he said cockily. Mai tried to keep her smart retort to her self but her tone was clipped despite her best efforts.
"Because there are bad things happening to your house and those bad things can come after you to" Kyo thought on that for a moment then nodded.
Mai sighed and turned around, calling Kyo over her shoulder.
"c'mon, Naru needs to speck to you" Kyo got up slowly and dusted off his pants, hurrying after mai.
The thought of 'bad things' as mai put it still fresh in his head.

It was night time before naru realized that he had not had any tea today and that surprised him. He stretched out his body, trying (un-successfully) to get rid of the kinks in his back.
He called out for tea; hearing no response he got up and started looking for the girl.
Having not found her he went to her room for a last resort.
He knocked quietly to give for warning to the girl.
"Mai, I'm coming in" he added for his own sake. If she was indecent he didn't think he could control himself enough to not attack her. But his caution was unneeded because she was there asleep, on the bed curled in to a tight ball on the center of the bed.
Naru had half a mind to wake her up and demand his tea but her face was just too peaceful to disturb. He walked over and ran the back of his hand across her smooth skin. He sighed; it was only going to get harder from here on in. Mai was already starting to fill into herself quiet nicely. He leaned down and placed a quick kiss on her forehead then tucked her into the blankets that were carelessly thrown on the floor.
He left the room silently, closing the door then headed to his room to get his much needed sleep.

Mai shifted uncomfortably in her bed.
'God, why is it so hot?' She opened her eyes slowly and blinked a few times just to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
Kyo was in her bed?
At least that's what it looked like. He was cuddled up ageist her stomach, breathing deeply. A sign that he was well into sleep; Mai smiled at the boy. He could be cute if he wanted to.
Mai felt a small trickily of wetness run down her arm. She lifted it from its place on top of Kyo's waist and gasped it was blood. She roughly turned him around, not caring if she woke him up.
"Hey!" Kyo muttered groggily in protest. Mai lifted his shirt above his head looking for injures of some kind but here was none. there was only blood. Small spats of it ran down his back. And dipped into his waistline; Seeming satisfied by this she got out of bed and dragged Kyo to the bathroom where she rid him of his shirt.
"Sit on the toilet, I'll get a washcloth" she turned to the closet and retrieved a washcloth, running it under the water she rung it out then turned to Kyo who just like he was instructed was seated on the toilet.
"Turn around" mai commanded Kyo turned as told and waited for her to begin.
"Why were you in my bed?" mai asked curiously. Kyo flushed, specking softly.
"I had a nightmare, it was really bad and no one would let me in their rooms." Mai frowned; they wouldn't let the poor baby boy stay with hem for a mere second? She finished cleaning up Kyo and tossed the dirty cloth in to the sink.
"c'mon, I'll get you a shirt. She ruffled threw her bag and pulled out an old blue tee shirt she used for housework. She tossed it to Kyo who wordlessly slipped it over his head. She glanced over to the unmade bed, the sheets were ruined.
Mai striped the bed and threw the sheets into the hamper. She went over to the adjacent bed and un-tucked the sheets then slid in the cool touch of cotton. Kyo hadn't move from his spot in the room. Mai rolled her eyes and patted the spot next to her. Kyo climbed on the bed and slid into the warm sheets he turned on his side facing away from Mai. Mai smiled and flung her arm over the boy, pulling him closer to her. Kyo snuggled into the warmth and for the first time in a while he wasn't afraid to sleep.
--
From there on in Kyo was stuck to Mai like a moth to a flame. Everywhere mai went Kyo was steadily watching her.
To be blunt Naru was pissed, very pissed. The small boy-Kyo he believed his name was- fallowed Mai around like a puppy. From when she got up to when she went to bed. He was there watching her. To naru's displeaser he couldn't ay anything simply because the boy never disrupted their work. And when the boy finely started pulling on the very last of his patience, he snapped.
"Why are you in here?" naru questioned Kyo with an icy glare. Kyo raised an eyebrow.
"Because. I. Want. To. Be" Kyo stated coolly his tone mirrored Naru's.
Naru didn't scar him. He had Mai and he assumed that was enough for this man.
"I want you out now" Naru gritted threw his teeth. Kyo almost laughed. But stopped when he heard the door opening, quickly he raced over to her and hugged her waist, tears slipping from his eyes. Mai looked from Kyo to naru in an almost comical way. She settled her gaze (glare) on Naru.
"What did you do?" Mai questioned him; anger leaking in her voice. Naru shrugged
"Nothing" it was the truth. He had not laid a hand on the boy, 'yet' he thought happily. Mai glared at him then dipped down to pick up Kyo. He wrapped his arms around her neck and buried his face in the junction there. His legs formed and iron hold on her waist. She rubbed his back soothingly then turned to leave.
Kyo lifted his head slowly and smiled at naru. A cheeky smile, he fisted his hands into her shirt. Naru glared at him till they left the room.

Lin was never one to be fidgety but when he entered base he almost ran from the room instantly.
Mai was no where in sight and that could only mean she and naru were in another fight.
He grimaced at his boss and sat down at his desk. He placed the papers in his hand on the desk and turned to his boss.
"I did a back round check on all the owner's known associates" he hoped that this new information would lift naru's spirits (no pun intended) and hopefully he could work in peace.
Naru glanced at Lin and nodded. Lin shifted in his seat.
"Nothing sparked my interest at first but as I ran deeper threw the files I found a pattern." He laid the papers in front of him for naru to see.
"Every six months one of their friends, family, ECT, Seemed to just up and disappear. And all of them were… children" Lin paused for a moment but went on.
"Four of the first disappearances were found three weeks later dead."
He shuffled threw the files, pulling out four.
"The next four were taken six months later. And as the ones before them they were found three weeks later" he pulled out four more files.
Naru pursed his lips.
"We've got a kid killer on our hands"
