Saved Life * Chapter 7

Disclaimer: Hoi, Hoi, Hoi! :) I do not own Ghost Hunt, okay?

Ne, I hope you have fun reading this, minna-chan! :) I really work hard to reach your satisfaction :( Well, anywho, have fun! :)


After the huge confession that happened between Naru and Mai, they didn't want to tell anyone yet. None got suspicious about them being really close to one another and everything. Well, except for Masako and Lin. Lin asked Naru about this and he gladly opened up to the older man.

"Mai, tea." Naru said to his still assistant slash tea-maker slash girlfriend.

Mai nodded but grunted. She went to the kitchen. Unbeknownst to Mai, a ghost has been following her moves since she left the base alone.

"Mai," someone called out to her, "you'll regret leaving alone without anyone accompanying you."

Mai dropped the kettle she was carrying in one hand and started screaming when she felt someone pulling her hair and bringing her to the staircase.

"No! Don't do this, Ann!"

"You deserve this, Mai!"

'No, that's not Ann!' Mai thought to herself and turned her head to the side to find Iori trying to push her down the stairs.

"No! Iori! Stop doing this!"

"I'm going to break his heart by killing you!"

"Iori, stop this please!"

Mai heard the guy laugh evilly.

"Sam! Ann is not the only ghost here, right? Why are you possessing Iori?"

"I'm using your innocent ex boyfriend as an instrument to kill you." He smirked.

"Why do you want me dead? Why can't you go move on with Ann?"

"I can't find her. That's why."

Their conversation was cut when they heard Bou-san's chant and Sam had to runaway using Iori's body.
Naru who was worried about his girlfriend took off from where he was standing and was now crouching next to Mai giving her a hug. Everyone just stood there, wondering why he was doing this, well except for Masako and Lin.

"Are you okay, Mai?"

"Y-Yeah, I guess?"

"You have bruises?"

"No."

Just when they were about to stand up, Mai and Naru was pushed down the stairs by an unknown force. Everyone's eyes were wide open as a sign of shock.

"Mai! Noll!" Lin shouted, he tried to run to the two but he felt a barrier trying to keep the couple away from them.

Everyone saw the couple laying on the floor, blood rushing down both their heads. They were on the panic stage and didn't know what to do.

Lin tried to break the seal of the barrier, and after a few tries, he succeeded. Lin and everyone came rushing to the couple, Bou-san carried the unconscious Mai and Lin did his job for the half-conscious Naru.

Madoka, Ayako, and Masako were now nearing to tears as they saw the two bodies being brought to the hospital. John said his prayers to God, telling Him that he wishes nothing bad to happen to both individuals.


They were now in the hospital. Both were inside two different emergency rooms. Madoka was pacing back and forth, worry was obvious. Her eyes a bit red from all the crying. So was Ayako's. She fell asleep on Bou-san's arms while waiting. It has been three hourse since they entered the hospital. And still, no doctors of the two came out.

"Lin! What happened to Mai and Noll?" A loud Luella Martin marched inside the hospital, asking Oliver Davis' assistant what happened to her son and his lover.

"Luella, they have been pushed down the stairs by an unknown force. They're a couple, you see. And there are two culprits, one pushed them down. They target couples." Lin told the mother of his boss.

"I see. All of you will take a break for this case, then. I'll ask Martin to do the investigation until Noll and Mai are fully healed." Luella, from her usual jolly cheers turned serious. Especially when it came to his son.

Luella saw her husband, Martin approaching and decided to meet him where he was currently standing. She told them what happened to their son and his female assistant. She also told them about Martin handling the case for awhile. Fortunately, Martin agreed to his wife.

"Koujo, how do you think they're doing?" Madoka asked as she lied her head on his chest.

"They are fine. Both are strong and doesn't give up easily. Mai, especially. Being her stubborn self. And as for Noll, he now has an inspiration to live so there is no reason for him and Mai to give up." The Chinese told his girlfriend.

Lin and Madoka decided to drift off to sleep as they wait for the doctors to come out. They have been exhausted with all the things happening. All of them, really. But Ayako and Bou-san decided to stay awake in case a nurse or doctor comes out.

Another hour passed. Ayako and the monk have grown tired of waiting. Luckily, before they go to a deep slumber, one of the doctors came out.

"Who are the family of Mister Davis here?" The doctor asked, while removing his gloves(?)

"I am his mother, Luella Davis and this is her father, Martin." Luella quickly ran up to them, dragging Martin with her and introducing herself to the doctor.

"Alright. Mister Davis is going to be alright now. He has wounds and cuts, not that serious though. He also has a small cut in his head. He will be transferred to a normal room now."

"That's a relief to hear that. How about Miss Mai Taniyama? The other patient." Martin spoke and asked for his son's assistant.

"As for Miss Taniyama, she has wounds in her head that the bumping on the floor may cause. And her wounds from the other day weren't fully-healed yet. So it re-opened. We will be putting her in a different room to your son's as soon as we finish cleaning her wounds."

"No, let them stay inside one room. Make sure the room is spacious enough for visitors." The head of the Davis family commanded.

Naru has been transferred into a suite-like hospital room. (A/N: me and my imagination. Haha) He's still resting inside the room. With him was his family, his Chinese Assistant, and his former teacher. Ayako, Bou-san, Masako, and John were waiting for Mai to be brought in and they would just follow. Masako is now sleeping, leaning her head on the Priest, John's shoulder. Though John was blushing madly, he didn't mind the sleeping figure beside him.

Finally, a maximum of thirty minutes passed and the remaining team members of SPR who waited for their youngest member felt that the door opened and they quickly shot up to see the brunette being wheeled to the room where their boss was.

"Miss Matsuzaki?" The doctor called out the experienced one in their team.

"Yes?" Ayako quickly ran to the doctor to hear what he would say.

"Miss Taniyama is now fine. She may not wake up immediately because of the cut on her head. But still, she would wake up a little soon."

"Thank you, doctor." Ayako bowed and followed the others who are now running to where their boss and his tea-maker was.

When Ayako entered, she found her friends sitting on the couch and Mai still sleeping. Then he found Naru awake, looking at his girlfriend with a worried expression.

'I always knew you would come to like our little Mai.' Ayako smirked to herself, hopefully none would notice her.

"Come here, old hag! You look dead tired. You'll look older if you don't rest." Bou-san teased the miko.

"I am not an old hag! Don't call me that you monk!" Ayako snapped and shouted at the monk.

"Guys! Don't be noisy! Mai-chan is still asleep!" Madoka addressed the fighting couple.

"If you want to argue about something, I suggest if you do it outside. As you can see, Mai is still resting." Naru said bluntly, slightly annoyed, though.

"It was better when he was asleep." Ayako whispered to Takigawa.

Takigawa tried to supress his laughter. Ayako insulting Naru is great! Her mood is gonna get better now. Then he heard Ayako mumbled words about Naru and couldn't hold in much longer. Next thing he knew, he was laughing all the way down to the floor.


Naru's Point of View

I woke up, turning my head to the side to find Mai, her eyes closedand she looks soundly asleep. I guess that means that she's having a dreamless sleep. Good. I don't want her thinking too much about the case when she wakes up.

I sat up and saw the whole team and my parents in here. I sighed. 'How annoying.' I thought. I shot a glance at the sleeping figure of my girlfriend. She's in a more critical condition than I am. I knew it even if no one would tell me. Bandages on her head, arms, and probably her covered legs. She was in tranquil and I hope she wouldn't wake up because of the noise the always fighting couple makes.

"Noll, do you want anything?" I turned to see my mother with her bright smile.

"No, mother." I replied as I ran a hand on my raven hair.

"Alright then, Noll! Me and your father will take over the case while you're here, okay?"

"No, mother. You might get hurt. Can father just hire another team for this one?"

"Why so, Noll? Your father's team can handle this with me."

"They target couples, mother."

"Oh, well then. I see what I can do. I'll be taking off now, Noll. Tell Mai get better when she wakes up for me!"

Mother has departed. I sighed in relief. Well, that was one out of the .. I can't even count it. One of the ones who makes noise are no longer here.

A nurse came inside to check on me.

"Mister Davis, you can walk around if you like, okay?"

I nodded in response then looked at Mai once again.

"She's doing alright. I think she's about to wake up. I'll take my leave now, mister Davis."

It was getting dark now and the time for visitors to visit is almost over. Finally.

"N-Naru?"

Her voice was the only one I wanted to hear.

"Mai, how are you doing now?"

Her smile lights up my spirit.

"I'm doing good now, Naru. How about you?"

She never fails to think of others first. Such a nice person.

"I'm fine. You should rest Mai."

I kissed her forehead. I knew she would close her eyes to feel the kiss.

"You too, Naru."

That smile never fails to amuse me.

"I will. I'll wait for you to sleep."

A pout came to her lips next. Oh, how I wanted to kiss her on the lips.

"You don't have to, Naru."

I brushed my hand on her hair.

"I want to."

Her eyes were fluttering to a close.

"O-Okay then, Naru. Don't ever leave okay?"

Her yawning was an obvious sign of drowsiness.

"I won't ever leave you, Mai."

She smiled one last time before dropping off to a deep slumber.

"I love you, Mai Taniyama."

I said, kissed her lips. Went back to his own bed and fell to a sleep as well, wishing he would dream about his beloved.

END OF CHAPTER SEVEN **


HAHA, so I finished this with aching hands. I punched the wall earlier at school making my hands sore. Geez, stupidity and failure for today.
