Chapter 9
London, England
Case #3: House Of Blood 3
Somewhere in London...
"Hehehehe, this is so much fun!" A voice of a crazed old woman snickered very menacingly. She watched as the young boy, apparently his name was Kazuya Shibuya and his assistant, named Ariki Sodioma left the house.
"Now for some fun!"
"Are you truly out of your mind? We will need to hold back before we can unlease our fun." Came a voice which sounded like he was behind her. The woman swirled around, trying to find out who it was.
"Who dares judge me?!" The woman's face turned ghoulish, anger rising. A figure that was dark-purple and had a face appeared before her. She gasped and bowed down in apology."I-I'm sorry sir! I-I didn't know your great presence is here!"
"Don't worry about it. What matters now is to make sure the world knows that those humans that are alive should fear the spiritual world. We are not to messed with. I have gather enough followers to make sure that comes true. Hehe, trust me, Vera you will get your chance of revenge."
"I love it boss but how do you suggest I can hold this back? I don't want to stop." The woman, Vera whined a bit.
"Fine but if I lose another one of my followers again, then I'll have them to blame it on you even though you might not be here anymore." The dark figure crossed his arms before vanishing.
"You can count on me! I won't let you down, boss!" The woman, Vera saluted then rubbed her hands together with glee. She then headed towards where that boy and his assistant had drove off too. She then saw them walk into their house just in time when another male had followed after them. Since Vera was so high up, she flew down so she can see better. By then, they walked inside. Vera entered inside by going through the walls and watched, keeping herself hidden.
Naru's house
4:00am
"Father, is something the matter?" Naru frowned as he watched his father intently. Arrow was sitting next to him.
"That spirit followed you and Arrow here, Oliver." Came the reply of his father.
"I can see it would like to create havoc among us humans." Naru said, his face into thinking mode.
"If it's so powerful, how are we going to stop it?" Arrow spoke up.
"Have you called an exorcist?" His father turned to Naru.
"I called one from Japan. I am unsure if he'll come." Naru replied, closing his eyes.
"You should have Arrow make some charms then when he comes so the spirit would be trapped inside your house." His father suggested.
"I suppose it would be wise." Naru sighed. He haven't got much of a choice. If the spirit was residing here, then it'll be better if the exorcism would start along with the help of Arrow and his charms. Though he might know how to weaken the spirit slightly with his cross worn around his neck, he wasn't an exorcist and he can only make charms from the shinjos in Japan. That is the least he could do.
The door bell rang. Naru got up from his seat and walked over towards the door, opening it. It was John. Naru nodded and stepped aside for him to enter. John walked in and Naru closed the door.
"Is there a spirit I need to exorcise?" John asked first but went quiet when he saw Arrow and his father and mother."Oh. Who are those people?"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Carlos Davis and this my wife, Lucy Davis. We are psychologists but we also investigate paranormal activity. That," The father pointed,"Is Arrow. He is my assistant. Kazuya is here to take care of some matters so we came along to help him in them."
"I see. Nice to meet you, Mr. Davis and Mrs. Davis. I'm John Brown, exorcist from a Roman Catholic Church. I came from Australia." John said, in English of course.
"Pleasure to meet you, Father John!" His father beamed. Naru sighed and turned towards John.
"John, are you able to perform an exorcism right away?"
"Sure thing. Just give me a minute. Where though?"
"Right in my house." Naru replied.
"Alright."
"Arrow, create some charms and place them all around the house." Naru ordered. Arrow went to it immediately without another word. Naru then turned his father but he had act formally.
"Sir, you are free to leave as you wish."
"Oh, no, Kazuya my dear boy. I would very much like to watch the exorcism." His father replied, smiling.
"As you wish." Naru sighed and waited. Soon, John and Arrow was ready. John then began which the rest of the group stood behind him. John began to throw holy water around.
"Our father who art in heaven, hallow be thy name. Thy kingdom come on earth been done as it is in heaven." The house began to shake violently and a figure began to appear, her face looking ghoulish. John continued though."Give us today our daily bread and forgive our debts, as he had forgiven our debtors. There was the word and the word was with God and the word was God." Eventually, the spirit began to try launching at John. John had blocked it using his cross that held onto his hand." Father, we pity you and we ask in our humble plea to have this spirit to be gone and wiped away from the face of the Earth forever. So, I plea in thy great name to have her gone." Then, there was a scream and the spirit was gone.
Naru saw the shaking had stopped and much to his relief on that. Arrow's face looked slightly pale but nonetheless well.
"Arrow, I think it would best if you take the charm off so it wouldn't drain all of our energy." Naru said, his arms crossed.
"Yeah, guess your right." Arrow mumbled before he walked off and began to take the charms off. John helped him as well as Naru sat down on the sofa and watched slightly.
"As always, you surprised me of your methods, son." His father said with a smile.
"I only do this because it is necessary to have that spirit exorcised." Naru shrugged a bit indifferently.
"As I expected of an answer from you." His father chuckled. Naru sighed.
"Have you made your decision yet?"
"Not yet, son. Why in such a hurry?"
"I'm worried that Lin might not take things in good care back in Japan. I want to check up on it." Naru explained.
"Don't worry son. Lin is good so you won't need to worry so much about it." His father reassured him. Naru didn't answered and went on to write down on his black book. He would need plenty of rest after this case.
Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
Shibuya Psychic Research
2:00pm
Mai nearly fell into the office his her hand haven't caught the handle of the door in time. She groaned. One of the boys have been chasing her again and this time, she just barely escaped. She was glad that the boy didn't do anything stupid towards her. Sighing, she took off her coat and hung it on the clothes peg before she headed into her own desk area and began to work on the stuff that was placed on her desk that day.
Two hours passed and she began to feel sleepy. She decided to keep herself awake as to not arose suspicion on Lin. She just hoped she would stay awake. She kept moving her head down but she would shot up after a second before she fell right into sleep. No! She must keep awake!" Slapping her face, she moaned a bit, finding that she hit herself too hard.
"Oww...Hit myself too hard." Mai sighed when she realized where she was. She was in the darkness and she was standing in the darkness.
"This must be another one of my dreams. I hope Naru is around." Mai said, as she looked around and soon spotted the dark dressed Naru walking toward her, eventually getting a good distance towards her.
"Naru, what are you going to show me today?" Mai asked, ready.
"Mai. I have to tell you something."
"Yes, Naru?"
"I am not who you think I am."
"Wait, what? What do you mean by that, Naru? Aren't you Naru?"
"The appearance would look like it but I am actually not."
"Then who are you?" Mai was shocked.
"You may call me Gene. You know I am different from the start."
"S-So your Naru's twin brother? I didn't know he had one."
"I passed away. The reason my brother was in Japan and opened SPR was because he was trying to find my body."
"Seriously? I had no idea. He must have really missed you."
"He has. He found out I was dead by using his connection with me when he touched my clothes."
"Oh, and I thought he was cold heart jerk the entire time."
"He had that sort of mask even before I died. It's normal."
"Should I tell him when I wake up?"
"Tell him when the time comes with Lin."
"Why?"
"You will know soon enough. Just trust me on this, Mai."
"O-Okay."
"It's time for you wake up. Lin is worried about you." Gene said as he placed his hands on her forehead. Eventually, he was gone.
Mai woke up and found herself on the sofa. Lin was staring at her from a fair distance away. Mai wanted to tell him so badly about her discovery. Yet, she cannot so she stared at him for a moment before sitting up.
"Your awake. You have been sleeping through the rest of the day. I thought you might be dead."
"Haha, no I'm not. I was just so tired that's all."
"I see. Come on, I'll drive you home." Lin got up from his seat and made to leave.
"Wait, I need to pack up!" Mai said in a panicked tone as she rushed to her office desk and quickly packed up then rushed out of the door. Lin followed behind and headed for the van. Mai followed behind him, thinking over about the dream with Naru-no, Gene. She'll have to talk to Naru about it when the time is right. She knew she'll have to tell him eventually anyway. Mai got into the van and slammed the door shut. The van began to move and Mai took her amusement to look out the window.
The ride didn't take long before Lin stopped at the front door of where he apartment is led to. She got out and waved goodbye to Lin before entering her apartment, heading toward her condo. Once she got inside, she flopped onto the sofa and sighed, wondering how she got that dream in the first place. She wondered if Gene had made to known that he was not Naru but Gene all along. Maybe that was it.
Still, Mai knew that Naru had missed her brother terribly and probably is hurt and torn mixed with hate that his brother had died just so recently. She began to wonder how his brother might have died. Not to mention, she was wondering even more of who she truly loved and cared for. She then knew. Naru, always Naru. Yes, he might be a narcissist, arrogant jerk, but hey he wasn't that bad when it comes to caring for people. His intelligence often impressed her but at the same time annoyed her at the same time.
Talking about Naru made her worry for him. He wondered why he needed to be away for so long. She just hoped that he'll be back when he was done with whatever he was dealing with. Mai yawned as she stretched, a bone cracking in process. She then laid her arms down as she thought over about the time when Naru decided to have the company to go international. What could that all mean? I mean, Naru said he keep that company in Japan all because of searching for his brother. After that, he'll shut it down. Then, why did Naru decided to put it to international? Is there something more to Naru than she didn't know?
She sighed in frustration as she placed her fist hands onto her head, unable to solve the problem in her head. Why was it sometimes so hard to find out about Naru when clearly she could just simply walk up to him and ask? Then again, she knew Naru would unwillingly not tell anyone about his hidden past and of his family. He isn't the type of guy who would just give is personal information away just like that. He would normally need reason and a good explanation about why he would need to have his personal information known. She just know the type of person Naru would be. After all, she was with him for a year now.
Sighing and shaking her head, she went to finish up her homework and go to bed. She finished around 9 when a phone call came. Blinking twice, she ran to the phone and picked it to answer.
"Mai Taniyama speaking."
"Mai?" It was Naru, the real Naru that is.
"Naru? Why are you calling me at this time of the night?"
"What else? I have something to discuss with you about."
"What is it?"
"During your sleep in the office, did you have any dreams?" Wait, did Naru knew about this? Mai felt it wasn't the time yet so she decided to lie.
"No. I was just so tired that I slept for the whole day."
"I doesn't sound like it. When Lin tried waking you up, you couldn't even budge an inch. Are you hiding something from me?" Suspicion crept in his tone.
"No! I won't hide anything from you, Naru!" Mai had to since Gene told her not to say anything to Naru yet until it was the right time.
"Mai..." Came the sigh on the other line.
"Naru! I...I just can't tell you yet." Mai sighed, feeling to want to give up.
"Fine but I would want to know when I get back. Get that?"
"Yes." Mai glared at the phone.
"Good. Now, I must go." With that, Naru hung up. Mai had to slam the phone onto the receiver, pissed. That narcissist jerk! Always so stotic and uptight whenever it comes to these types of things! Can't he at least be sympathic for once!? Mai stomped to her room as she went to go get changed into her PJs. Eventually, she calmed down as she packed up her school stuff and went off to bed.
Spiritual World
Dark Realm
Dark Lair
"That damn Vera! I told her not to get herself into trouble! Now I need to find another spirit to become my follower! Ugh!" The dark spirit head-desk himself onto the wall.
"Sir, I'm sure you will find one soon enough." Reassured on of his servants.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! I don't need your damn lectures when I clearly know that!" The dark figure glared at one of his servants and slapped him in the head. The servant whimpered and backed away.
"S-Sorry sir...I was just trying to put some courage for you..." The servant muttered in a whimpering way.
"Well, I don't need them! Now, all of you, get out of my sight!" The dark figure snapped. All the others bowed their heads respectfully and left, leaving the dark figure alone. He then looked at his swirling make-shift ball that he made to observe the human world. He saw everyone in Japan to be so clueless and to be so weak in aura. Only very few were really defensive. They were the SPR team that he found out they got rid of him so many times. He smirked.
"We shall start in Japan when it is the right time." He said out loud, knowing this would be perfect."Then I will spread throughout the entire world. Eventually, no one can stop me!" He then let out an evil laugh. This is what he perfectly, oh so perfectly planned for the human world to witness. Soon, just soon they would know what was to come for them. He would enjoy them falling on their knees and begging for mercy. That desire was what the dark figure totally wanted. The aura on his body grew a bit larger as he thought of these things. He just hoped it would worked as how he think it will.
Eventually, the human world will fall to their doom and all would go as how many of the spirits would dreamed of when they first entered the spiritual realm. He doubt the good spirits would oppose it off them considering how they grew in numbers. This would be so much fun for them. He would enjoy this. Oh, this would be a day of celebration for them! He would then be the ruler of the entire world and have them obey them under his bindings. Soon, the human world would realize that the evil is not to be messed with. He looked forward to it.
To be continued...
