re-cap time!

Yasu on the other hand was thinking up his own ways, he was in the bathroom talking to the mirror. "E...erm Hisako... wanna catch a movie with me?" shaking his head he thought "No thats lame, shes so much cooler than me. hmm" "Hisako your shining white knight has arrived!" running a hand threw his hair shaking his head again. "No that wont work either."

He was about to speak again but the tempurature dropped in the room suddenly. "How about Hisako you've captured my heart!" spoke the voice. "Yeah thats a good one! wait...oh crap.." his mouth was covered as he was suddenly knocked out cold on the floor.

Chapter 8

Morning soon came all too quickly for some of the SPR gang, They had stayed up rather late the night before so some of them was struggling to get out of bed. That was until Naru burst threw the males rooms and woke them up at 9am.

Soon after they was all sat in base with either a coffee or a tea, " Whats with the early wake up call Naru?" spoke monk trying to rub out the tiredness from his eyes. The raven haired scientist gave them a stern look. " We had another disturbance last night, also Does anyone know where Yasu is?" he looked around the room. The young high school student had been missing since 12am last night. John leaned forward and placed a hand to his chin as to stroke a beard even though his face was like a new born babies bottem.

"Now that i think about it, he never came to the room last night, Last i heard he had to use the restroom but never came back." They all looked to him, "Lin! Monk! check the males rooms! NOW!" Naru shouted on the top of his voice, the guys quickly went to the check the bathrooms. They found Yasu unconsious in the first males bathroom they came too. They carried him out back to base. As they laid him on the black sofa Ayako walked up to him.

She knelt down and made sure he was breathing, had a pulse and was stable, "Seems like he just passed out from exhaustion. He will be fine just needs to relax for a little while."

Sitting back Naru looked down at the time "Mai and Hisako should have been here by now" John couldn't help but chuckle and sat back taking a sip of his hot creamy liquid. "Come on mate, you can't expect them to come in this early after what happened at last nights events." Masako nodded " I agree if one of my closest friends was murdered... i wouldn't want to go into work for a week."

Naru just rolled his eye's he had been worried about Mai's condition after she left to go home last night. He was worried she might have been cutting again.

Suddenly the door opened and the two girls walked in with two trays off coffee/Tea, " Oh come on you know that last one was perfect for us!" Hisako spoke as she began handing out the coffee's. Which they recieved confused looks, Once Mai had given Naru his tea She was about to walk away but was pulled into his lap. Recieving a kiss on the cheek. " I know, but isn't it a little bit out of the distance?" Hisako just shook her head.

"Your close to passing your driving test right? we will just have you drive us!" Hisako chirped up. Causing both girls to laugh. Which Naru couldn't help but cut in. "what are you both talking about?"

" Oh me and Hisako decided to move in together so we spent most of the night looking up flats in the local area, Since we mainly stay at each others places anyway." They recieved a set of ooo's as Hisako smirked.

"I see you both are quiet comfortable now together. Well my work is do- Yasu! what happened to him?" Monk stood up and walked over to where lin was working on the monitors "dunno, We found him passed out in the mens bathroom earlier this morning before you both walked in with that intresting conversation. In which is a good idea. It would be a lot safer for you to live together instead of seperate. Always better in numbers i say."

"Mai did you happen to have any dreams last night?" Asked Naru who recieved a shake of the head indicating a no from his pink haired girlfriend. "So we are a bit stuck here," he placed a finger to his chin as he was in his thinking mode like always. "Mai i want you to take a nap to try and see what information you can get. Hisako you go with Ayako and Masako for a walk around. Monk you and John check the tempetues of the rooms, Lin keep going threw last nights footage. I want to know every detal with what happened from the first murder up till Yasu went missing." They all agreed and began heading straight to work on it. It just seemed strange that Yasu had been targeted.

Mai looked to Naru "But i've just had a full Latte how can i possible sleep when drinking a grande size coffee?" she gave out a playful pout. He just gave her one of his famous rare smiles " i could always give you a sleeping tablet." Shaking her head Mai just laid her head on Naru's shoulder "i'll try sleeping i hate pills." He just held her gently as she soon fell off into Dream land. He looked over to see him recieving a slight smirk of Lin.

"Dont...say...anything" Naru spoke with a sort of threating tone to it.

Mai soon entered dream land as she had closed her eye's as if her body was expecting to. Walking around the dark abyss she soon saw a glimbs of Gene, who gave her one of his charming smiles. "so much softer than Naru's but naru has my heart."

Mai walked up to Gene and took his hand that he had held out for her. "How is our fine maiden this morning?" The pink haired girl just rolled her eye's " Well i wasn't sleepy until Naru made me. I need to find out information about what happened to Yasu last night. But these Dreams never tell me anything what i want to know."

Gene just shrugged "Thats true, oh i'm loving the hair, what made you go pink?" she just shrugged "Dunno fancied a change. So anyway what are we looking at today?" Shaking his head at her impatients. "I think my idiot brother is rubbing off on you." They both began walking a little bit until it showed a vision coming clear in the dark void.

It was of Yasu, but there was something different about him, Mai looked closely his eye's wasn't brown like normal they was pitch black, Looking shocked "Yasu's been possessed!" Gene nodded as he turned around to Mai "I want you to be extra careful at the moment, as there is no telling what may happen. An with john not being around at this presise moment he can not exorsise the spirit with in him. I saw what happened between them two innocent people, this spirit is getting more and more violent." Mai nodded understanding, she had delt with violent spirits in the past cases and for some reason they was always aimed at her. she had no idea why.

" Your powers are growing Mai, but they haven't grown strong enough please take extra caution. An make sure Ayako gets out of the club. she is carrying if she stays any longer she may have a miscarriage." The pink haired girls eye's widened and nodded. When she began feeling the familiar tug to go back to the real world. "Good bye for now Mai, Take care" They let go of each others hands and with that Mai was brought back to the world.

Mai suddenly woke up, she was laid on a leather sofa with no Naru or Lin anywhere in sight. "They must have gone to check on the cellar i remember them saying they would yesturday." she then realised on what Gene had told her, she had to get Ayako out of the case immediatly. Standing up she quickly went to the door but a hand had grabbed her before she could even reach it throwing her back into the table. Looking up she saw the possessed Yasu. "I warned that bitch of a daughter that i would come after you!" Yasu's voice was alot darker and the smile on his face was unbelievable. He walked over to the door and locked it After placing up a barrier so no one could get in.

Mai stood up the corner of her left eye had caught the table so a trace of blood was trickling down. " Awe poor helpless little girl. Don't worry death will soon come to you."

At that moment they began fighting, Mai mainly dodging as she didn't want to hurt one of the people she sees as family.

Masako, Ayako and Hisako was in the girls bathroom, Ayako had to go as she was feeling the morning sickness coming up, "Maybe you should go home and rest Ayako?" Asked the young brunette worried about the older lady. "I can't very well do that now can i," Masako handed the Shrine maiden a mint. "She maybe right, its getting alot dangerous around here now. What would happen if you was hurt. You have an unborn child to think about." Ayako sighed as she placed a hand over her now swollen stomach. "You maybe right, I do... "

Masako soon cut her off. "I am sensing the spirit, it is coming really strong from.. where the base is!" Hisako pushed herself of the sink "Isn't that where Naru told Mai to take a nap? and Yasu's there also!" This caused the 3 woman to move to the bathroom door. "Wait! Hisako, i don't care what you do Drag Ayako out of this building at once." the young Medium spoke. "Hang on! if Mai's in danger i wan-" "NO! Hisako you have no spirit powers and Ayako is carrying. I have a feeling this is not the best place for you both at this moment in time"

As they was Arguing they suddenly heard a crash. All pilling out of the room at once.

Naru and Lin had met up with John and Monk on their travels, They had thought it was ok to Leave Mai alone not realising Yasu had been possessed. "Did you find any spiritual energy while being down in the Cellar then?" Spoke the long blonde haired man. Lin slowly shook his head "No, and that seems to be where most spiritual activity has been showing lately, i'm thinking about checking the dance floor next as that's where our friendly little ghost decided to attack last night." Spoke up the young scientist. "What would you like us both to do?"

"You can accompany or just go back to the room and wait for the girls to Return." Spoke Naru They nodded into accompanying the leader and assistant to the dance floor when they suddenly heard the crash. "Wait... didn't that just come..." Monk started " The base?" John finished. This caused Naru to do a 180 straight on the spot. "Mai's in that room!" With that they all began running straight to Base. Once there they saw Masako who had been trying to get into the room.

Monk spoke up first "wheres the other 2?" "I told them to get out of this place, So Hisako Took Ayako to Mai's place until this case is over, its getting too dangerous for them both to be here." she kicked the door "I can't opening it. There seems to be a barrier and its also locked."

Naru tried but his hand was suddenly shocked away from the door. He quickly turned to his assistant "Lin!" Lin nodded already getting his shiki ready.

Inside the room Mai had been thrown into the large monitor equipment which had caused the crash. "Seems like you wont be lasting much longer." Yasu smirked. Mai was holding her ribs, she could swear one or two of them had cracked, "Yasu, if your in there! Fight back!" her voice was shaky, she looked to the door she could feel that the others was trying to get into the room.

"they wont save you, its time to end this." he backed mai up as close as he could to the glass window and kicked her, causing her to crash threw the window "AHH!" holding her hands out she managed to grab onto the ledge but a large piece of glass had sliced threw her hand while she was trying to hold on. Yasu smirked down to her, "what a fitting end to a cutter..."

He began stepping on her hand crushing the glass even deeper, making her slowly lose grip on the ledge, she was about to let go but the door squng open, and naru ran over knocking Yasu out of the way. John began chanting " oh father in heaven I pray to you, our God, to take pity on us, to shed happiness on us. I pray that you will shine your heavenly light on us... first there was the word and the word was God. From God, godfathers was a message... the light shines in the darkness. The darkness didn't absorb the light..." Yasu was soon clensed of the spirit.

Once he was clensed, a scream was heard, Mai had lost grip on the ledge and began falling...
