Ry: Alright we are on the next chappy so please enjoy. And do remember I do not own Ghost Hunt in any way. Alright so on to the chappy.

Naru: Strait to the point today Ry. That isn't like you.

Ry: Shut up and just continue to the chapter. I had a bad day and just want to get onto the chapter already.

John: Alright then on to the chapter as Ry-san has requested.

Normal POV:

Mai's disappearance had not gone over very well with the team. Ayako and Takigawa had gotten very angry that Lin and Naru had even let Mai out of their sight. Masako was upset and now refused to speak to Naru.

Even Yasuhara was not his usual lively carefree self. John spent some time trying to help Masako and he was the only one who spoke freely.

"Of all the people to have lost Mai it would of course be you Naru. We all knew you didn't care about Mai but how could you not care for her safety and well being on this case. Masako tried to be polite by asking Mai to come on this investigation so that we could all see each other again. It was supposed to be a happy reunion. Yet here you don't even care what happens to Mai as long as you solve the case. Mean while the rest of us are terrified for Mai," John said looking to Naru angrily and full of disbelief.

It wasn't like John to speak up like this. It was clear that John was unhappy and now he was choosing sides. Lin was busy with his Shiki trying to find Mai and Masako was trying to search for Mai's presence using her spirit sensing abilities as a spirit medium.

"I can't believe you let her out of this room without some one with her you dimwitted idiot!" Ayako yelled at Naru viciously.

"You of all people know she is a danger to herself. That every time we go on some case she always ends up in trouble with the spirits and yet you just let her go alone you stupid, stupid boy," Ayako yelled sounding more angry then before.

Yasuhara was looking over all of the equipment trying to find some trace of Mai on the video footage as Ayako did the yelling for every one else.

How ever a search party for Mai the magnetic trouble maker was impossible since it was clear there was no signs of her left behind. The team didn't even know where to start looking for her so they were stuck at a stand still.

Mai's Pov:

I woke up in a freezing cold and pitch black room. I shook my head a little and looked around trying to remember what happened. That is when I remembered I was supposed to be making tea for Naru and Lin.

I remembered the spirits said they needed me. That they needed my help but they had frightened me. When they frightened me I fell, the corner of my eyebrow bone near my right temple hit the corner of the counter. That was the last I could remember because I was surrounded in darkness after that.

I groaned a little as I sat up and shuddered against the freezing temperature. I looked around and felt the oozing warmth trail down the corner of my eye brow and down my temple to my cheek.

"Oh great, just great. I am bleeding. I got hurt yet again. Ayako is going to be angry," I groaned as I pulled my shirt up a bit and pressed the clean cloth against my eyebrow to stop the bleeding.

I looked around a bit trying to remember the layout and the floor plans of the hospital. I knew that my first priority now was to find my way out of the freezing cold room I was in, and find my way back to the rest of the team.

I stood up but my legs buckled beneath me. That is when I noticed my legs were weak from having been sitting on them for some time. I stretched my legs a bit and forced myself to stand.

I got a better look at the room and shuddered seeing the blood soaked walls with thick oozing writing scrawled across the off white dusty painted walls.

I turned a quarter turn to see there was a steel medical table in the corner of the room and several shelves sitting right next to the table. I could see the shelves littered with jars that held several different internal organs in them.

On the steel table was a young girls body. A young girl with brown hair and brown eyes similar to my own but not the same shade of coloring. The crimson color of blood glittered over the table and on the floor.

As I looked closer I could see the young girl had been cut open and dissected and her internal organs missing. I had to cover my mouth with my hand to keep from screaming as I looked away shuddering.

A fresh stream of tears falling down my cheeks from the shock and pain of seeing the corpse of the young girl.

"No. Get a hold of yourself Mai Taniyama. You need to get back to the others," I said to myself. I was willing myself to keep moving and not give in so easily. I turned and felt my way to the door to get out.

I knew that I needed to get back to base as soon as possible and tell the SPR members about this room.

When I reached for the door knob I felt the sudden cold grip my body as a hand grabbed my leg and pulled me back trying to stop me from leaving. I froze for a moment as I focused my spirit carefully as monk had once taught me to do.

"Naumaku Sanmanda Bazara Dan Kan," I repeated the mantra several times. When I notice that the Fudou Myou-ou—Acala was not strong enough I focused again.

"Rin Pyou Tou Sha Kai Djin Retsu Zei Zen," I said strongly as I used the Kuji nine word spell that Ayako had taught me for when I got into trouble. This time the defense worked, I yanked the door open quickly and ran up the set of stairs limping the whole way. I found myself in a familiar hall.

"Ayako, Takigawa, Masako, John! Some one!" I yelled loud enough for it to echo slightly through the hospital. I was lost but I knew if I called loud enough some one would hear it. I limped down the hall a small trail of blood dripping behind me as the blood trailed down my leg.

"Lin, Naru.. Help me!" I yelled again. Just as I finished calling out for the team I heard running footsteps heading right for me.

"Mai!" The voice I heard from behind me was rough and familiar but it was not the emotionless bored voice I was used to hearing. No this voice was calm but a slight creaking of worry broke through the voice. I turned around to see Naru running towards me with Lin right behind him. Ayako, Takigawa, Masako, and John all trailed a few feet behind Lin.

"Naru!" I yelled limping towards him quickly as he ran strait towards me and I collided with his chest as I stumbled and almost fell.

"I am so sorry Naru. I didn't mean to get caught like that. I am really sorry," I murmured quickly. I was hugging him gently as he helped to support my weight.

"Shut up idiot. Stop whining. It is just good that your ok. Let's get you back to base so we can get you cleaned up, Your bleeding every where;" Naru said sounding like the Naru I remembered. The careless and mean, narcissistic Naru, how ever there was a slight shakiness to his voice now as he helped me back to base.

Every one was busy fussing over me as I sat in a chair in base. John and Masako fussed over my clothes and complained about how I was covered in blood.

Mean while Ayako and Takigawa fussed over my injuries and complained that I got hurt far to much. How ever it was Lin and Naru fussing over me and trying to get information from me about what happened that surprised me a little.

"Mai what happened to you? What did you see while the ghosts had you?" Naru asked almost coldly. I shuddered and shut down suddenly as I remembered what I had found in the room with me.

I shook my head and curled up tears starting to spill over and stain my cheeks again. Ayako gently touched the cut along my eyebrow as she cleaned away the dried blood. As soon as Ayako finished tending my wounds she sat next to me in another chair as she tried to comfort me.

After about fifteen minutes of silence Lin brought me a mug of hot cocoa and handed it to gently. I sipped at the hot cocoa a little. I had not realized that I had looked so bad.

I was a mess, my hair was frizzed and sticking up in some spots. I was covered in smears of blood and faint bruises were forming along my leg as well as my eyebrow from hitting the counter so hard.

But the worst of my looks was my deep blueish purple lips, they had been painted a faint red with lipstick when I had first arrived. I had been in the freezing cold basement so long that my lips had paid a price turning a blueish purple and my skin faded to a pale color.

"Thank you Lin," I said softly realizing that Lin was being polite about how I looked and instead tried to warm me up with cocoa. Ayako wrapped a blanket around me and smiled softly.

"Thank goodness your alright. I was worried," Ayako said calmly. I nodded softly but continued to stay silent. I just wanted to warm up first then I would explain everything to the team so that they would understand. I was sipping at my cocoa quietly when Naru spoke.

"Ayako, Masako will you two go with Mai so that she can take a shower. I am sure she would like to clean up and this will warm her up quicker then hot cocoa and blankets after what she has been through. I expect a full report after your shower," Naru said in a calm, almost caring voice.

Almost, but I notice something strange about Naru now. He smiled, it was a brief and short smile but he smiled. How ever it looked like no one else had seen it. I gave a nod and followed Ayako to the showers. The hot water felt good after everything that had happened. Ayako gave me a soft smile after I was dressed and started drying my hair.

"You know Naru was worried about you. He demanded that we split up in teams and search for you. We looked for you all day but couldn't find you. I am sure he is just glad your safe but is far to stubborn and egotistical to say so," Ayako said with a soft laugh. I laughed a little to because it sounded exactly like Naru the narcissist.

Ayako and Masako walked with me back to base after I had dried my hair and and changed into clean clothes.

How ever as soon as we returned to base Takigawa and Yasuhara pulled an unwilling Ayako out of base to investigate followed by a calmer more willing Masako who walked with John.

Lin shook his head a little which gave me the odd feeling that Takigawa and Yasuhara had been up to no good and that John while less obvious about it was in on it too.

"Do you feel better Taniyama-san?" Lin asked but he did not remove his gaze from the equipment.

"Much better thank you for asking Lin-san," I said softly as I sat in a chair and went to watching the monitors silently for a few minutes.

"Naru you wanted to know what happened correct?" I asked in a calm voice. It had been five years and I had truly changed. I was able to keep my calm now and even managed to protect myself against spirits this time around unlike in the past.

Naru looked up and I could see the slight shock in his eyes. I smiled softly and spoke before he could.

"It has been five years since you last seen me Naru. I am an actress now and acting has prepared me for many things. In five years I have changed a lot. You were the cause of that," I said confidently keeping my focus on the screens.

I was watching the others as they moved through the rooms looking for the spirits and exorcising spirits that they came across. I was watching the screens for a few more minutes before I looked over to Naru.

"I should probably explain what happened to me with the spirits before you get angry," I said calmly and coldly.

"You see the spirits said they needed me, that they needed my help but they scared me. I was making tea and they just showed up without warning out of thin air. I was so scared I fell and when I fell I hit my head on the counter. When I woke up I was in a freezing cold room. It was like a freezer," I said with a slight chattering of teeth at the memory.

"When I got up I got a better look at the room. There was writing all over the walls in blood. It was like they were trying to figure out a cure for something. In the corner..." I choked out and stopped. I swallowed hard and looked down.

"NA..Naru it wasn't good. In the corner there was a.. a young girl is dead. She was laying on a cold steal medical table. She had been cut open and her internal organs were missing but there are several shelves next to the table with jars. The jars hold different organs in them. There was so much blood, a..a sea of blood Naru," I choked out as I shuddered. I couldn't believe I was having to relive the scene over again.

"I knew my first priority had to be to get out of there and find the team again. When I tried to leave something grabbed my leg and tried to stop me. I think it was one of the spirits responsible. I managed to get them to let go and got into the hall where you found me," I said as I returned to the screens watching the other members of the team.

"Mai," Naru froze as he looked over to Mai and it looked like he was thinking carefully about what he was going to say.

"I am just glad your safe now Mai. So please don't go any where alone again. Make sure you always have some one with you for the rest of this case please. For your safety ok?" Naru asked.

This was not like the Naru I remembered. Something was definitely wrong, but what I didn't know. He seemed more shaken by me being kidnapped by a spirit this time then he ever allowed any one to see before. I knew that he was not acting normal but I kept quiet and left him be.

I was watching the screens when I noticed a shadow move behind Ayako as Takigawa looked over a wall that had some strange writing scrawled across it.

I grabbed the walky talkie out of Naru's hand and clicked the button quickly as a faint dust of of red brushed over my cheeks. I was embarrassed that I had grabbed Naru's hand like that but my focus was on the team now.

"Ayako watch behind you. Some one is there. A spirit just crossed behind you!" I yelled into the walky talkie as I watched the screen where Takigawa and Ayako were. I stood up quickly and turned running down the hall in a rush.

"I have to stop it. I have to get there in time," I said breathing heavily as I ran down the hall. Naru sent Lin after me thinking I shouldn't be left alone in the hospital after the last time I was alone and ended up in a room with a dead body accompanying me.

"Taniyama-san...Wait Taniyama-san don't go running off. You could be hurt again!" Lin called as he ran to catch up with me.

I quickly shoved the door open and tackled Ayako just in time. I felt the burning sting as something raked across my shoulder cutting it open. It was Lin's Shiki that made the spirit disappear again as Takigawa ran over helping Ayako up. I shook my head a little.

"Sorry bout that. I don't think you could hear me over the radio. I tried to warn you about the spirit behind you but when I saw that you hadn't reacted to my yell I knew that there must have been interference over the radio. I ran here and thank goodness I made it just in time," I sighed softly, relieved I had made it.

Ayako looked at me. She was clearly angry that I had gotten myself hurt again but I could also see the worry in her eyes. Ayako was definitely the motherly figure I so missed in my mom. I smiled softly standing up.

"Taniyama-san let's get back to base. I will tend your wounds once we get back," Lin said softly. I nodded and went back to base with Lin. When we entered the base I noticed that the room was empty and assumed Naru had probably just got to get some tea or check on Masako and John.

"Where is Naru," I asked allowed wondering where he'd gone. I started over towards the monitors but slid and fell in something wet. My head and elbow hurt the worst from the fall and when I reached up to feel my head I felt a stick warm substance sticking to me.

I stood up to see a rather large puddle of blood on the floor that I had slipped in. I wiped the blood from my arm onto the front of my shirt and that is when it hit me.

"No! Lin they have Naru!" I yelled turning on Lin. My eyes were burning as the tears started building up.

"Taniyama-san calm yourself. Naru can take care of himself let's just tend to your shoulder first," Lin said calmly as he sat me down and pulled the first aid kit over. It didn't take Lin long to clean and bandage my shoulder. I jumped up quickly.

"Lin we have to find him. They will kill him. I have seen it already. I just didn't know it would really happen. I thought it was just a dream. They will cut him open and dissect him like every one else. Like the girl that was already there," I choked out as the tears started falling freely. Lin looked at me almost disbelieving of what I just said.

"I told Naru what it was that I saw. That dream. The one you and Naru wanted to know about. I told Naru what I saw. I saw Naru being killed. They strapped him to a metal table like the one in the room I was locked in and they cut him open removing his insides while he was still awake and alive. Lin they are going to kill him!" I yelled as the tears bit hard against my eyes and fell in free flowing streams now.

Alright end Chapter. Please Review. I will hopefully update soon. If I don't update soon then something must be horribly wrong but don't worry I will get to it as soon as I can.
