(Later that evening)
The body smelled horrible but it was at least clean now. Mai was sitting across from him, a strong peppermint oil underneath her nose, the same as everyone else. Tomo looked uncomfortable and...awkward. Of course, I don't think anybody would be normal after repossessing their decomposing body.
"Why did you possess your body again, Iwate-san?" Mai asked timidly.
The body seemed to sigh, mimicking what the spirit was trying to do. "I needed to warn you fully," his 'eyes' stared straight at them, "My dad is one of the three main reasons that this place is haunted."
"One of the three?" Mai questioned.
"He and two other evil 'people, if you will, haunt this place. I've only met one other, and he was the weakest out of the three. But don't misunderstand- just because he was the weakest, doesn't mean you can beat him. He is still very strong," the room was dead silent, "And from what I have gathered about the leader of this whole thing, she's very evil. Her name was Rie Yoshida."
Yasuhara was writing everything down, as was Lin.
Mai was frowning so deeply, it seemed almost permanent. This was beginning to be more dangerous than she previously thought.
"Iwate-san, do you know about anything that has to do with the disappearance of Goro-san's family?"
He was silent for a second before answering, "The wife and child are still alive, barely, but his mother..." the body mimicked a sigh again, "She died of a heart attack."
Mai felt fear and anger rip through her. "Do you know where they are?" Mai's voice was grave.
"Sadly, I do not. I am a ghost so my sense of direction is slightly different than yours. I was only killed ten years ago; I'm still getting used to being 'dead'." He said it so sadly that Mai's heart strings were pulled, or more like tugged.
She held back her feelings, though. She knew in order to solve this case, she would need to start putting reason ahead of her heart; which is a really hard thing for Mai to do.
She swallowed hard, closed her eyes, took three calming breaths and when she opened her eyes again, they had a steel determination in them. Naru was watching her out of the corner of his eye, and felt a sense of pride slightly well inside him; he didn't know why, especially since she wasn't his. His feelings automatically diminished.
"I will help you figure everything out, Iwate-san. I promise. But in order to do so, I need you to tell me what happened to you and anyone else here."
The body mimicked a nod; "I will, but," the corpse started to teeter back and forth; "my time in my body has come to an end; I'll come back later." And with that said, his soul left in a light, unnatural, breeze and the corpse slumped over.
Everyone was quiet for a moment, when Yasu piped up; "So, who's gonna take care of the body?"
(9 p.m. Day 2)
Mai was sitting at the dining room table, her legs tucked underneath her. The grandfather clock chimed, signaling 9 p.m. Mai was frowning and wringing her hands together; she was beyond frustrated. She wanted answers, and she wanted them now. She didn't want to wait for who-knows how long; she wanted to send the bad ghost's to Hell, where they belong.
Mai was grinding her teeth when Noll walked in.
"Taniyama-san, I believe your teeth are breaking." He sat down across from her, and of course he looked graceful and handsome whilst doing so.
Mai took a deep breath, counted to ten, and let it out. She felt slightly calmer. "Have any ideas as to what we're going to do?"
Mai still wasn't used to this; she had tried as hard as she could to forget him for two years and now he was back without so much as a warning. Of course, he's Noll and he does things the way he wants, whether it's intentional or not. But, she was determined to try and forgive him, especially after his random apology the other day. She figured he'd probably been holding it in and wanted it out of the way as soon as possible; that was as close as sincere as he would get.
"Lin and Yasuhara-san are going to library that's in town tomorrow. Madoka will probably trail after them," Mai caught the 'not that I'm complaining,' he muttered under his breath, and she giggled.
Madoka sure did know how to make the men uncomfortable; Mai figured it was just one of her specialties.
"I need to tell you some things," Mai looked him in the eyes, "It's about when we first got here."
Noll raised an eyebrow but nodded.
"I haven't told anyone, but the other night, I was sitting outside and enjoying the cool air when I saw...a vision, I guess?" Mai was frowning again, "Iwate-san was in it, as well as three other kids. I don't know who they were, and they never really said their names, but..." Mai fidgeted, "Iwate-san's father beat up the two boys trying to defend his son. Noll, you should have seen the man. He was evil."
Just then, the lights went out.
