I DO NOT OWN GHOST HUNT


Forgotten Memories of the Past

Chapter 9

For the next few day, I stared lifelessly out the window as my music box from years ago repeatedly replayed till I fell a sleep like it was my lullaby. My eyes weren't emotionless like some creepy messed up doll, it was just staring off in a distance while I remembrance my past memories. Bou-san and the others knew how I felt and left me alone, although they would check up on me from time to time since their worried. Heck! Even Lin would pop his head into my room once in a while. Naru… being the stoic over protective boyfriend he was, was currently behind me… or rather ALWAYS beside me…. I'm not sure if its because of the new additional guys in the group, after all Naru is a VERY jealous man. I simply just giggled at the thought.

I was sitting between his legs with my back against his chest, my hands placed on my lap with his over top, and his chin resting on top of my head. He never tried to comfort me or talked, we just sat there in silence. It's not like I want him to comfort me, but if he did, then I would just think he's taking pity on me and I don't like that.

As those three days went past, he stayed with me the whole time. When we finally left our room, which was May 30th, I was tackled with many hugs and kisses… literality. I was first attacked my ex gang members in bone crushing hugs, and kisses on my forehead for brotherly love. Of course, Lin had to hold Naru back from attacking my 'older brothers' out of jealousy… but since Naru wouldn't stand for it, Kousake and Kenji thought it was a good idea to kiss me near my lips. Knowing it was to piss Naru off, I didn't react… but Kousake almost got a black eye as Bou-san… had a friendly talk with him.

After all the welcoming back hugs and kisses, everyone went back to work. Anyways, I volunteered change the camera tapes since I was a while for a while. Naru at first reluctantly agreed, but after I threaten him with no tea, he agreed right away.

We were currently walking down the hall together, and having small conversation and a comforting silence from time to time. While we were walking down the hallway, we happened to pass the living room. Naru was currently walking in front of me so he didn't really how anxious I was feeling when we walked past the living room.

At the corner of my eyes, I caught some movement so I stopped walking for a moment and simply stared into the room. Naru who was a few steps ahead, but then he stopped walking when he heard my footsteps stop echoing from behind him.

"Mai?", he gave me a questioning look as he started walking towards me.

I glance over to him as I heard my name being called and was about to reply when something suddenly slithered around my ankle and the next thing I knew was being smashed into the ground with a loud sickening crack along the way. My skin burned from the friction as I was being dragged at amazing speed across the floor. Now I knew how it felt to be a towel cleaning the floor… god this hurt.

"MAI!", I heard my boyfriend scream my name as I caught a glance of him chasing not far behind. Not long after he yelled my name, I heard running footsteps from the base running to where we are and from behind Naru I already saw Nobuyuki, Yoshimitsu, and Tsuyoshi flying behind.

Next thing that registered through my mind was being smashed into a wall facing opposite of all my friends that was already gathered in the living room, taking their positions and getting ready to fight. I gave all of them odd looks, because I didn't see any thing dangerous next to me… that is until I looked up and made eye contact with blood shot ones that belong to Noboru.

I wanted to scream, but he was too close for comfort. I could smell the blood emitting off of him, I didn't want to scream and inhale that nasty foul smell, so I held my breath as long as I can. I kept staring at his head that was stick through the wall over top of me, the longer I stared at him for I almost thought that his eye balls were going to fall out and drop on my face. To say in the least… I was wasn't scared shitless like always, but for some reason I was trembling. I wasn't trembling like always did, when I was scared…. No, in fact I did the opposite. I was trembling because I was overwhelmed with flowing emotions.

I was happy, sad, determined, excited, angry, and too many more emotions to describe how I was feeling at the moment. Happy because in a few days time I will make this man before my eyes… no… the spirit that is possessing Noboru's spirit even after death… I will make it regret messing with my family and their best friend. I'll make sure of that. I was feeling sad and determined next because Noboru's spirit is being used by… that stupid thing… I don't know what it is, but I will do anything in my power to free Noboru and finally let him rest in peace. Excited cause, like I said before, I will make it regret messing with my family and now my friends, which is the cause of my anger.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw a sinister smile plastered on his face, next thing I knew was that he was no longer above me but in front of me, mere inches away from my face. Everyone in the room froze, he was too close for anyone's liking, especially mine.

"Mai, Mai, Mai….", Noboru said in a tsking voice that echo off the walls. "You've been such a naughty girl haven't you? Going and meeting your stupid little winged demons. That's cheating you know? You already have so many….", Glancing behind him, he looked at Naru and the rest of the group in position to fight before grinning and turning around to face me again. "so many useful pawns….".

He didn't get to finish his sentence as a strong forced sent him flying away from where I was currently sitting. I can feel my face scrunch up in anger as I saw his shocked face.

"DON'T YOU EVER SAY MY NAME LIKE YOU KNOW ME!", I shouted, shocking most people in the room with my outburst. "PAWNS! I DEAR YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN AND I'LL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LIVING HELL, ONE FAR WORST THEN THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN LIVING BEFORE YOU POSSESSED NOBORU'S SPIRIT! THOSE ARE MY FRIENDS! MY FAMILY! NOTHING THAT YOU WOULD KNOW OF, AND I WONT STAND BY AND LET YOU CALL THEM 'PAWNS', WHEN TRULY YOU, YOURSELF IS A PAWN PLAYED BY THE DEVIL HIMSELF!". I stared to take gasping breaths from my outburst. It wasn't very often when I yelled that much, which shocked everyone and myself.

Everyone snapped out of their shocked states when Noboru started laughing. "hahahaha, you really are pitiful… humans all are! You all think you can gain power by just having someone close to you, even if its one person. You guys are truly nothing but a disgrace to the human kind. Humans are nothing but puppets that carry hatred and selfishness and they should stay that way. You fools need nothing but hatred to gain power in order to protect yourselves, you don't need anyone other than yourself… protecting someone will just make you weak fools!", Noboru shouted the last part, with anger visible on his features.

"You're wrong!", I shouted and his eyes narrowed at my retort. "You're wrong… I thought that at first and I pushed everyone who cared about me away, not caring what they felt because all I cared about was my own happiness.". Tears started streaming down my eyes, but I ignored them. "I was wrong though… ever since my parents died I always put on fake smiles with everyone that I wasn't close with, but when I was with my foster parents I was always so cold to them and sometimes when I see fear and pain in their eyes… it hurt me."

"Mai…", whispered Naru as he heard me speak with pain attached to my voice.

"The more I pushed people away the more it hurt me and others…", I continued. "it was my gang that helped me realize my mistakes and I made amends to those close to me, that why I wanted to start over in high school! After some time, I realized that I prefer this lifestyle more than my past one. I believe that we are stronger when have those dear to us because by protecting others, we are complete. Instead of hatred that makes us strong… It's all the other emotions that we can get from others that makes us strong!".

Everyone in the room looked at Mai with gentle features as they saw how her determined she was on that one true fact. Most of them even have new profound respect for her now, more than ever. Noboru on the other hand boomed with laughter, before he straightened himself and glared at everyone in the room individually.

"I see… what foolish thinking humans seem to have now. Hmmm… I shall tell you my name since I don't like being called this 'Noboru' or 'spirit'. I am known as neither angle nor demon, I am a being created by the human hatred every thousands of year, I sole purpose is to make sure the human race is nothing but hatred because I believe this world is weak with emotions such as 'happiness' and 'love", as the Noboru spoke a sadness flashed on his face that only Mai saw since she was close enough.

"My name is Shikadai", it continued. "I'll see you within two days, and on that day… you will regret you spokes those words to me and I will prove just how wrong you are on your views of this pathetic world".

With it's final words, Shikadai disappeared as if it was never there to begin with. At first the room was filled with silence but Bou-san and Ayako, once again, broke it by tackling me to the floor with a bear hug, which caused Kousake and Kenji join in their little hug feast. No one bothered to help me, since they noticed how I was laughing seemed happy for once.

Shrugging, everyone joined in for a short moment before Naru finally snapped when his girlfriend was starting to get bone crushing hugs from everyone, EXCEPT him. After breaking the group apart and sending them back to the base, Naru went over to I and gave her a very deep kiss before pulling me into a gentle hug, which I gladly gave back.

I was enjoying this moment while I can, before the time will come and we'll all be pulled into something disastrous in the near future.
