A/N:- Here I am again! I have realized I like thanking people at the start of each of these chapters! I'm going to continue doing it! So, lici910 thank you for your review! (I enjoyed writing from a different POV and exploring what Monk and John think of things! Also, I hope this chapter solves some of the mystery I started a couple chapters ago!), seshomaru94 thank you for your review! (I am glad you find this as funny as I do! You're right a woman's feelings are not to be messed with! I'm not sure if this chapter is worse though...) Again, I know I thanked you both personally with a lot more rambling, but each review and reviewer is special to me and I enjoy getting your comments! Thanks also go to whoever favorited and alerted either my story or myself! (Yes seshomaru94, I'm talking to you as the only one to do that this time around!) (Okay, that just creeped me out! No more Knotlamp for me!)
This has to be one of my favorite chapters and I love the title I picked for it as it has a double meaning!
The speech key is reversed every other POV for this chapter. If as confused as me just ask! I have talked enough now! (My fiance's right, you can't shut me up!)
Disclaimer:- I don't own Ghost Hunt (Boo!), I also don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! (Double boo! Their owners are so imaginative!) I do own the long, boring, going nowhere plot though!
Mai's POV
I decided to go and make myself some tea to calm down. 'I can't believe the nerve of that guy! Kissing me then acting like it was nothing!' I felt like someone was watching me. Thoroughly creeped out, I turned to hopefully see nothing. Sadly, my instincts are never wrong and in front of me stood the ghost of the woman I'd dreamt about. She said something to me in English that I didn't understand as she advanced towards me. I let out a scream just before everything went black.
Violet's POV
My name is Violet. I died two hundred years ago. When I saw the foreign girl I now possess, I knew that she was the perfect choice to help me. I apologized to her first, of course. That is only manners after all. She didn't look like she knew what I said though. 'Oh well, at least I tried, right?' It feels so strange, being alive again. I really am not used to it. 'I wish Benjamin were here. He would be really excited by it.' I heard hurried footsteps. I had forgotten that the girl had let out a loud scream before I took over her body. A handsome, dark haired man ran through the door.
Naru's POV
I arrived at the kitchen, where the scream had originated from, as quickly as possible. 'What the hell has Mai done now?' I burst through the door to see Mai just standing there.
"Mai, are you okay?" I asked. 'I may not act like it, but I am always concerned about the welfare of my employees!' She just looked at me like she didn't know what I had said. I tried again.
"Are you okay, Mai?"
"I am very sorry, but I don't have any idea what you are saying to me." Mai said in perfect English, complete with English accent. 'Okay, this is not good! Mai's possessed, again!'
"I apologize Madam. Would you mind telling me your name?" I questioned as politely as I could. 'It's no good making a ghost possessing someone angry!'
"My name is Violet Mountford." She answered succinctly. I made a mental note to have that name investigated.
"And why have you taken possession of my assistant?"
"Because she can help me." Violet replied. I thought for a moment about what she said. A sudden chill in the air grabbed my attention. I quickly looked at the possessed Mai, noticing how a smile had abruptly broken out on her face.
"Benjamin!" She cried out lovingly. It was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
Benjamin's POV
I had decided it was now or never to possess the foreign looking man I had followed from the hill. It was the only way to get close to the perpetrator of my death. I would recognize that visage anywhere and the man I am now possessing seemed to be really close to him. 'This is better than coincidence!'
The man's spirit had put up a bit of a fight when I took him over and I could feel a strange power thrumming through his veins. I paid it no mind and instead I opened my new eyes to be greeted with the sight of my dear Violet, who had decided to possess the foreign girl the man was in love with. 'Even if he won't admit it, I saw the look in his eyes when he kissed her; that was pure love and lust!' If you're wondering how I knew it was Violet, we can sense each other's spirits.
I quickly moved to her, wrapping her unfamiliar body in my new arms. 'This feels really odd! I'm really not accustomed to being alive again!'
"Benjamin." She whimpered, burying her foreign face in my now different chest. I held her tighter, not wanting to let her go now that I could touch her and actually feel her again. She tilted her face up to look at me as if in askance. I complied immediately, kissing her deeply and passionately. 'God I have missed being able to do that!' A sharp cough interrupted our intimate moment. We both looked at the intruders in the doorway annoyed.
Lin's POV
When Mai decided to challenge Naru's authority I made a discreet excuse about needing to do something somewhere, grabbed my laptop and left the base as quickly as possible. Don't get me wrong, I find their fighting a great source of amusement, but it is better entertainment if you leave them alone with a hidden camera to argue. 'I'll collect the tape later and enjoy it with a big bowl of popcorn! A man's got to get enjoyment from somewhere!' I settled myself in the bedroom I had chosen earlier and played a few games of Yu-Gi-Oh! on my laptop. 'You didn't honestly think I work all the time did you? I only work if Naru's watching me!' (A/N:- I just had to add this in reference to my crossover fic Jack vs Naru!)
A loud scream ripped through the house. I sighed. 'Let Naru deal with it. Mai's probably just cut her finger or something. I'm busy finishing off Yugi for the fifty-ninth time!' On second thought, maybe I should go investigate.
I closed my laptop and exited the room, meeting the miko in the hallway. We both descended the stairs and headed towards the kitchen where the sound of voices could be heard. As we entered the kitchen we saw Naru embrace Mai and then kiss her quite passionately. 'Now I really have to see that tape! Hang on a sec…something's not quite right here... Oh dear God! They're both possessed!' How do I know that, I hear you ask? Well, when you have worked both in this business and with these people for as long as I have, you know these things.
I coughed loudly and I was met by two very angry glares. The look on 'Naru's' face darkened even further upon seeing me.
"Thomas! You bastard!" He shouted at me. I was thoroughly confused.
"I think you may have me confused with someone else." I replied calmly.
"Don't lie to me!" He snapped, releasing 'Mai' and advancing towards me. "You piece of scum!"
Ayako panicked at the angry, possessed man approaching us.
"Use your shiki!" She shrieked.
"I can't. If I did, it would damage Mai and Naru's souls." I informed her, backing away from my charge slowly.
"So what do we do?" Ayako screamed following after me.
"Run!" I responded, moving as quickly as possible in the opposite direction of the kitchen.
"You can run, but you can't hide Thomas!" 'Naru' yelled after us. The miko and I managed to reach the bathroom and we raced inside and locked the door. Ayako sat herself on the side of the bath, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Now what?" She questioned. "We have at least one possessed person on our hands…"
"They're both possessed." I enlightened, interrupting what she was saying and earning myself an angry look. "Sorry, go on."
"As I was saying, we have at least one possessed person on our hands and no way of exorcising them as Monk and John are up on the hill, you can't use your shiki and I can't do it." Ayako concluded.
"Well then, we'll have to contact the monk and the priest and get them back here as fast as possible." I informed, pulling out my phone and dialling the Australian's number.
Cracking and thumping could be heard on the other side of the door. 'I hope he hasn't figured out how to use Naru's powers. If he has we are screwed!' More cracking could be heard and then, just as the door seemed like it was about to give, a very loud male scream sounded.
A/N:- Chapter complete! Another cliffhanger! Ooh! (I have no idea where this going!) I have enjoyed writing this chapter, especially the Lin part! I hope you all enjoy reading it!
Please review! Who knows, your name could be here next chapter in my list of thanks! It would mean a lot if you did review! See ya!
