Secrets written in blood chapter 4

Mais p.o.v

A few days past since the whole thing past, and no one's really asked anything specific yet. I'm waiting for it to happen because I know it will. They've died down in the nosiness thank god, it was getting really stressful. I walk in and hear my good morning from Naru

"mai, tea." Groaning I go to make It, turning the kettle on.

I listened to all I could in the silence of the office. I could tell Naru was annoyed by the way he kept growling about tea and I could somewhat hear the sound of Lins typing. Since I could hear both I knew we were the only people in the building. I walking into the room and said "no guests yet today?" Naru looked up surprised "how can you tell?"

I answered with"lins typing doesn't sound louder than usual and you are any more irritable than normal."

He looked surprised again and I laughed a little and said

"I'm not hiding anything anymore, so I might as well also mention from time to time what I can feel from other people." Naru didn't answer so I just put his tea where he was sitting and got to work of organizing files. A client came in with a small child and sat down. The poor thing was scared to death so I gave her a small cup of water and did my best to calm her down.

I went to get the women tea and listened to the talk behind closed doors.

"my name is haruhi and this is my daughter kirimi. A sprit has been haunting her day in and day out." My ears perked automatically, I hate it when children are hurt "it follows her around and attacks her with knifes when she's alone and pushes her down stairs." I grabbed the glass of tea and gave it to the women and sat down.

Naru took the case and haruhi left.

"Do you need a recap of what happened?" he asked, probably thinking I didn't hear a thing. I answered with

"I heard every word." I called everyone and the next day we piled into the car. I was stuck between monk and Ayako so I knew I was in for it.

They argued as I sat as low to the floor as possible to stay out of harm's way. 'how can they have that much energy and lung power to yell and fight like that?" I asked myself 'I've never met anyone as crazy as them.' I'd been so deep in thought I never realized that monk was about to pull me into one of his bear hugs. I groaned from the lack of air and said

"let me go!"

I elbowed him, hard, and he lets go.

"Wow mai" he says "that's some elbow." I realized my mistake; id used full strength which, for me, is pretty painful.

"Sorry" I said "I forgot to hold back." I made sure he wasn't bruised then zoned out once again.

I must've fallen asleep because the next thing I know where at the address the client resided in. the house was a two floor house with windows, it was pretty small considering all the houses in the area. In was in the rich area of the city. I grabbed one of the monitors and dragged it inside to set up base in what seemed to be a quest room. The house itself was bare and looked somewhat used, but otherwise it was a nice house.

"if you could show me the markings on kirimis back." naru said Haruhi shook her head in a yes and pulled up her shirt enough to see it. To many people they would look like random marking but to me they were the markings of someone trying to hit the organs and barely missing. We went to the base and Monk spoke up

"was it just me or were those somewhat random for a sprit?" everyone agreed until I spoke up

"it was aiming for the main organs but the child moved so it missed. It meant for lethal harm."

"how do you know that?" masako immediately asked, thinking I had sensed it, and I answered with

"it makes sense if you look at them hard enough you'll notice they were close to organs. So it either missed or wanted it to look like it missed for us to underestimate it" with that said I went back to putting up cameras In other rooms. That night before we went to bed I went to the bathroom to change when I was stopped by Ayako

"why do you change in the bathroom? I know you're not shy."

I sighed at her nosiness and answered

"I have to clean my gun and I didn't think you would want to see me cleaning a deadly weapon, but ill change in here then."

I grabbed my gun and its holder of my back and set it aside for later. I changed quickly and pulled my gun apart, cleaning its parts to make sure it's in top form, to see Masako eyeing the gun warily. I was afraid of this, that they would think I'd try to get them in the night or some nonsense.

"don't worry Masako" I said suddenly, making her jump "I don't want to hurt anyone. Besides I don't have any bullets near me to do so."

I could tell she felt guilty by the blush I saw as she put her kimono over her mouth. Ayako just laughed. I put my gun back together and stuck it under my pillow, in case of attack. Masako yelped

"what if it goes of in the middle of the night?" I rolled my eyes and showed her the gun and said

"then someone turned the safety off to make our deaths look like accidents or suicide."

She looked embarrassed and I said something to console her

"don't worry Masako I've been using guns for awhile. I know how they work." I used sarcasm at the end to make her laugh. it didn't though; instead she looked me in the eye and said "how long?"

"Since I was 5" was my only answer. I gained two gasps and I spoke again

"you shouldn't be so surprised. Didn't you notice I'm a good shot?"

"Not really. I've only seen you fire once." Masako answered

I answered with "shooting once was once too many in my opinion." I finished cleaning my gun and curled up on the bed with the blanket on my shoulders. Around midnight I heard a small pretty muffled noise, much like a clatter from two floors down. I stood up, grabbed my gun, and went downstairs to investigate, only to hear it coming from the basement. 'Basements' I thought to myself as I groaned 'what is it with ghosts and basements!?'

I walked silently down the stairs to see what should be the depths of hell. What I saw was…..

Cliffhanger! Tell me if i should continue posting this or if I should keep it to myself!
