Most of you will most likely hate this chapter! ^_^;
Naru woke up to the light entering the bedroom window. He started to recall about what had happened last night. He noticed that Lin, Monk, John and Yasu weren't in the room. So he got up to walk to the base. He was smiling inside when he remembered he kissed Mai the other night. But he didn't want to show or tell anyone yet. And he was also hoping that Mai wouldn't tell anyone either.
He finally arrived at the base and when he opened the door he saw that everyone was there. John had his arm around Masako, who looked a bit sick. Monk was standing with one hand on Ayako's shoulder. She was sitting down on the couch, she looked very tired, and Mai was asleep with her head on Ayako's lap. Lin and Osamu were nowhere to be seen.
"What's going on?" he asked as he closed the door. I thought everything was fine. Well not fine, fine, but okay at least.
"After Mai got attacked by the ghost she hasn't been able to sleep. After we got the ghost away from her she had fainted. And I looked after all of you guys left. Monk stayed though, just in case it came back. And well Mai woke up after a few minutes and she just started crying. She was really scared. She wouldn't go back to sleep, even after we had reassured her that we would make sure it wouldn't get her again." Ayako sighed. Monk gave her a gentle squeeze on her shoulder. She looked up and smiled at him. She turned back to Naru. "She has been up all night with me. She didn't even want to leave the room. She just barley went to sleep a few moments ago." She stroked Mai's hair out of the way. She closed her eyes but then she slowly opened them.
"Why don't you get some sleep as well Ayako?" Monk suggested. "We'll watch over you guys." Ayako nodded her head slowly. Naru walked over to the monitors replaying what had happened the night before. He does see Mai getting attacked, him opening the door, Monk driving away the ghost, them leaving, Mai waking up and then crying, Ayako staying up with Monk and Mai. I don't believe it. Naru walked outside muttering something about going to look for the owner.
Naru walked down the halls looking for the owner of the hotel/house. If seeing the stuff on the tape is true then what was all that happening with me and Mai last night? I thought I confessed to Mai!
I'm sorry Naru.
Gene? What are you sorry about?
I thought if I showed you what would have happened if you "did" confess to Mai then you would be able to sleep without trouble. You needed the rest to have energy to be able to solve this case.
Why would you ever do something like that?
I'm sorry.
If you weren't already dead I would kill you myself right now.
I know you do but I tried to do the same thing with Mai but she wouldn't let me in her head to comfort her. You need to solve this case quick. I don't think Mai wants to keep hunting ghost anymore.
But if she doesn't want to then that means she'll quit and we won't see her anymore!
Just then Naru saw the old woman walk by. "Excuse me, Mrs. Kazumi, may I have a moment of your time."
"Yes, of course. How is that young girl of yours doing?"
"How did you know?"
"Oh they told me when came by earlier this morning."
"Oh."
"Was there something you needed?"
"Ah, yes. I would like it if you told me about the people who used to own this place before you."
"Oh well, I really don't know much, just that it belong to this wealthy man and he was going to get married but something happened and the bride was murdered. That's all I know."
"Okay. Thank you very much." Naru turned to walk back to base when the woman spoke again.
"You need to watch over that poor girl. I wouldn't want that girl to have the same fate as the other girls did." And then she walked away.
Naru walked back to base. Mai was still asleep and she was looking a bit pale. Ayako was sleeping as well, leaning against Monk shoulder. He gently brushed the few hairs that were on her face. He looked up when Naru closed the door.
"Did you find anything new?" Monk asked.
"Not much. Just that a couple were going to get married here before the bride was murdered. Where are Osamu and Lin?" Just then the door opened and Lin and Yasu walked in. "Did you guys find anything new in the case?"
"Lin and I have been out asking everyone questions about this place. And most people said that nothing bad was happening until people started to get married."
Lin walked over to Naru and handed him a file. "I met with Madoka today and she handed me this. I think you should look at it." Naru took the file and read.
This house used to belong to a man named Haku Kenta.It talked about what his whole life and then when Naru close to end was when the real important stuff. Haku was betrothed to a young woman named Misao Nisino. They were to get married in his house but on the day of their wedding. The bride, the groom and the groom's cousin went missing. Only the body of the bride and the groom's cousin was found. Mr. Kenta's body is yet to be found.
Naru looked up to Lin. "So we're assuming that the ghost is Mr. Kenta?" Lin nodded his head.
"There is something else. Look at the picture. It was taken before the day of the wedding." Lin said as he pointed at a piece of a photograph was poking out of the file. Naru pulled it out. In the back it said:
Mr. Haku Kenta, Ms. Misao Nisino, Mr. Riku Kenta. 1956
Naru flipped it over and froze. In the photo were the couple and the cousin. But it looked like Osamu holding a smiling Mai and Naru on the other side of Mai.
Sorry for it being late and a bit short, lots of things going through my mind right now. :\
I'll see you guys soon for the next chapter. But please! Please review! :)
