Midnight: Hey guys, it's me! Plz don't kill me! Or harm me! I know I haven't updated in a while! But if you kill or harm me I won't be able to write anymore!
Cookies: She had a good reason though! Her dads laptop crashed again, her downstairs computer isn't ready to use anymore and the upstairs one has some issues! Well only the typing program has issues! But at least she's finding a way around all that, and making the time to update!
Sour: I don't think that it matters! Everybody who hates Midnight for not updating fast enough, start chanting with me! OFF WITH HER HEAD! OFF WITH HER HEAD!
Midnight: But then how will I be able to update? I won't! And then cookies will have to pay thousands of dollars for 2 funerals!
Sour: 2 funerals? What? If you're going to die that means it's only 1 funeral! Ha I'm smarter than you!
Midnight: Not so fast, smarty pants! If I'm going down, your coming with me!
Cookies: (Separates them) HELP! 911 plz bring in a SWAT team! ! we have 2 really crazy people here!
Midnight: Any ways since the two crazy people are on 1 side of me I feel less trapped! But heres a great big thanks to everybody who reviewed my story! But from now on, I will give a special thanks and answer questions to those who review the chapter before the new ones! SO here it goes! J
Alice the BBR, Thanks for your awesome review! And I loved your Idea! What do you think of the ending of the last chapter? It was too short, I know that, but I didn't have a lot of time to write it! BTW your next! Wow that sounded creepy! I meant that your character is next after these characters, so I'll e-mail you to let you know!
Chibi-Kyuubi-Chan, I'm glad you like Mai's powers (Although I don't know exactly what they are... LOL! J) I'll try and update more!
Cross your Heart for me, Your old user name used to be Kimeko-Dono right? (Sorry, I can't remember! You did have another user name right?) Lol! I feel stupid right now! I know it was short but I didn't have enough time to make it longer! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Sousie, Well what happened was that Mai got possessed by Mikuzu, and then Mikuzu asks Mai to use her powers. Mai uses her powers even though she wasn't supposed to because her body wasn't ready for that much power, so she blacks out. Confusing isn't it? LOL! I know! J
Missyangel87, I'm really glad that you found my story! I'm also happy that you liked it!
Handsomeangel, I love the Mcdonalds song! It's so annoying! But thats what makes it awesome! Thanks your awesome too!
Aktaiy, LOL! Thanks for reviewing it again! I'm glad you liked it! J

xSapphirexRosesxFanx, She is ok! I can tell you that much! I would never, ever, ever kill my favorite character(s) (My favorite characters are all the SPR and the extra helpers like Monk, Ayako, john and Masako) SO basically all of them! LOL! J
All 3: WE DON'T OWN GHOST HUNT! WE ONLY OWN THE CHARACTERS WE MAKE UP! WE ALSO DON'T OWN HANDSOMEANGEL AND AKTAIY'S CHARACTERS!
Chapter 7
Dream of Death
Mai's POV
Flashback
'Alright' I tell her. I feel my head nod and see myself glowing with a pure, bright light. I suddenly feel drained. I feel like I'm on fire and then I hear screaming and realise that I got control back and it's me screaming. Yoshitaka was howling in pain, he started to fade away and then he was gone. I noticed my friends staring at me. It still felt like I was on fire though so I realised I started crying and they all ran over to me. That's where it went black.
End of Flashback
It was so black here. Not the calm peaceful black of my dreams. This black wanted to swallow me. In fact I'm pretty sure it was winning. No matter how much I fought I couldn't win. I tried holding on to all my memories to keep me there away from the black that wanted to swallow me.
I didn't succeed. It got me and the pain started to go away. It felt so nice to just not feel anything, to forget. To forget my pain, emotions, and life. It was just so easy...
"Mai!" a voice that sounded familiar yelled. I snapped back to reality. I needed to hold on. For my friends who were more like family. For my parents who wanted me to live a long life. I would survive this. Whatever it was. A voice said "Take a look at your life, it'll help you hold on to reality. Like you once said to me, it helps if you hold on to a peice of reality, so here Mai, take my comb!"
Then Masako walked forward. "How did you get here, and how are you able to give me your comb? You can't Astral project, can you?" I asked her.
She smiled and said "I'll tell you when we get out of here." Then she winked and vanished. But before I could say anything else I was launched into a vision. It was a vision of my life. My full life, from start until now.
I watched how my mom and dad met, their first date, engagement, and wedding. Then I watched myself being born.I watched as I grew up. Then I witnessed my fathers funeral, for some reason the vision skipped over his death. Soon I watched my mothers funeral as well. Her death was missed too. It was strange.
But the vision continued. I saw when I met Naru. How I came to work for him. Then I watched myself fall in love with him. I watched as we solved cases. I watched my self do everything until the vision ended where I am now. Here, in the blackness.
Slowly at first, the pitch blackness that wanted to eat me changed into the dream black. Then dream naru arrived. He just smiled and walked over to me. "I'm glad you managed to survive. You reallly shouldn't mess with your powers since you don't know a lot about them. Please be more careful in the future." He sighed.
I was about to answer when I suddenly felt my real body. All my limbs felt heavy. I felt tired and my muscles ached. Then suddenly I wasn't with dream Naru any more. I was in my real body. I could almost move my eyelids.
I slowly pried them open. I was in the hospital. There was an IV attached to my arm, and I had a heart monitor. My right hand felt warm so I turned my head and there (Drum roll plz! DA DA DA DA DA DA!) was Naru. Even more strangely he was the one holding my hand. I woke up a bit more and blushed like crazy. I vaguely wondered if I could pull my hand away without him noticing because if I didn't Ayako and Bou-san would tease me like crazy. But then I remembered that they would probably treat me like a baby or lecture me.
It wasn't my fault. It was the only way. I would have died if the ghost hadn't helped me use my powers (whatever they are, Mai and I will probably never know lol!). Even though he tried to kill me I can't help but feel sorry for Yoshitaka. To watch somebody you love fall in love and get engaged to somebody else must be awful, but that still doesn't mean that you have to kill them and everyone else.
But did Yoshitaka really love Mikuzu? I don't know. Why would you kill the one you love? I mean, wouldn't you want them to be happy? Thats what loves about isn't it? Making the one you love happy? If it was then I would try to make Naru happy! No matter what...
Not long after that I was tired again. So I drifted off to sleep. I had one dream. I was in a beautiful valley. The sun was setting and it reflected beautifully off the pond. The lush green grass and the bright, colorful flowers swayed in the warm breeze. I was sitting underneath a beautiful tree filled with cherry blossoms. There were cherry blossoms falling down around us as well. I forgot to mention I was sitting with someone, I didn't know who it was. Just as I turned to look I was woken up by loud voices.
"When do ya think she'll wake up?" (I tried to give that Johns accent if you were having trouble figuring out why it's weird like that. I know it's not very good. I might give up on that.) asked John.
"I don't know." was all monk said. Oh, he's probably very mad at me! He must hate me! Well not hate me, but he must be very mad!
Then Ayako growled "BE QUIET! YOU'LL MAKE HER WAKE UP IF YOU DON'T TALK MORE QUIETLY!"
There was suddenly silence so I squinted a teeny bit just so I could see why everyone was suddenly quiet. Ayako was standing there menacingly holding her purse up high ready to hit the next person who made a sound. Suddenly an idea popped into my head. What if I pretended to have amnesia? That would be so awesome if they fell for it! It would be hilarious too!
I opened my eyes all the way and sat up quickly. I looked around and acted like I was confused. Monk, Ayako, John, and Yasu all ran over to hug me. But since I decided to trick them I held them back with my arms and then turned to a confused Ayako.
"Excuse me miss, but can you please tell me where I am?" I asked in a befuddled tone. I nearly cracked a smile when they looked at me like I was crazy.
John says "Don't you remember us?"
I turn to look at him and whispered "Should I?"
Everyone looked at me like they were sad. Suddenly I burst out laughing. Monk pouted and said "Not funny Mai!"
"Yes it is! You should have seen your faces! Besides laughter is the best medicine!" I giggled.
Monk suddenly burst out laughing and managed to say "OH WHO AM I KIDDING? THAT WAS HILARIOUS!"
Then before I knew it we were all laughing. We laughed for a while, then we talked about things and finally the topic I dreaded came about.
Ayako asked what I did when I collapsed and everyone went silent and watched my every move. I suddenly felt like a rabit in the eyes of a hawk. I honestly didn't know what happened. So I decided to tell them the truth: I 100%, honestly, truthfuly didn't know what happened. And amazingly it was left at that. Fortunately for me I was released from the hospital a few days later.
A few days later
Mai's POV
Work can be so boring sometimes. Right now unfortunately for me, happens to be one of those times. Ugh, sitting here at my desk doing paper work did nothing to help me stay awake. I was getting really tired so I decided to make some tea. Just as I was on my way to the kitchenette the door opened and Masako stepped inside. I greeted her "Hello Masako, would you like some tea?"
She looked at me and said "First I have to give you the explaination you wanted."
"How about I make tea first?" I asked.
She nodded and said "Sure."
She was kind of freaking me out because she was so calm. But I just did my thing and made the tea. I walked over to the couch and handed a cup of tea to Masako and kept one for myself.
"So what exactly is it that you wanted to know again?" she asked.
"Can you astral project?"
"No. Did you wake up with my comb in your hands? I think not." She smirked. I just glared at her.
"How did you get into my dream then? And how did you give me your comb in my dream?"
"Well I gave you my comb in your dream because its a dream and you can create illusions and tricks of the mind there. You only got my comb in the dream. Basically it's like any other dream you have at night. I got into your dream because your power pulled me into it. When we were in the hospital, I felt suddenly compelled to go into your room and hold your hand. Then I fell asleep and woke up and saw you. That's when I figured it out. The embarrassing thing is, when I woke up it looked like I was worried about you and had been holding your hand! I mean, Oh please! I would never be friends with someone like you!"
"Hey!" I yelled.
"I never said it was a bad thing." she said.
Just as I was about to ask what she meant, Naru suddenly yelled "Mai Tea!"
I just sighed and got to work making more tea, thinking about what Masako said. I didn't even notice the clients come in. Two girls. About the same age. I also didn't know that this case would change the way I thought about a lot of things. I also didn't notice the water on the floor. Just as I slipped something strange happened. When I let go of the kettle (wouldn't you if you were falling?) it (Naturally) went flying. Just before it hit the ground a strange force held it above the ground.
Midnight: This next case is dedicated to Aktaiy and Handsomeangel for giving me the characters of them I always wanted! Thanks guys!
Cookies: Heres a quick preview for the case! It's about-
Sour: Let the preview thing do it's thing!
Preview thing: (Starts doing it's thing) One set of twin girls that happen to be the like the female version of Monk and Naru + 1 violent crazy ghost + 1 good helpful ghost who thinks Mai and John are it's parents + Jealous Naru + Hyper Madoka + Evil scheming Yasu + lots of other stuff that will make you laugh, cry and scream = 2 new friends/clients, a funny, sad, scary and romantic case, and lots of chapters that have to be written.
What happens if a ghost thinks that you and one of your friends are it's parents? An evil Yasu and a hyper Madoka come into play? Will this crazy ghost ever stop playing hide and I'll slowly drive you crazy and then find you and torture you to death, or will the SPR have to exorcise another spirit? Will Masako ever get over Naru? Will Lin ever say more than 1 small paragraph at a time?
All these questions will be answered in the next case! So see you next time in DREAM OF DEATH!
