Chapter 10

Just to clear something up. What is happening with Mai and her family has nothing to do with Death being in love with her. He's just waiting. He will show up more later on. He is hoping that her family issues will push her closer to him (like her dying or committing suicide), but he is not causing Mai's dreams. I don't own Ghost Hunt. I decided to make this chapter another funny one, not really related to the plot. It came to me and it made me laugh just thinking about it. Don't take offense to the terms ghost groupies or space freaks as Yasuhara uses. I don't own the term ghost groupies, it was in a book I read and I thought it was funny. I've been neglecting my proof reading so sorry about the typos

Before they left for the castle.

The bachelorette party was interesting. Mai was never much of a party animal and didn't actually enjoy drinking. Sure a glass of wine with a meal or in the evening when she sat with Naru on the couch. She really didn't know what the girls would do for her. Luella would be there, Mai just assumed it would be tasteful. She was certainly wrong!

They ended up at this club. It looked more like a brothel. 'eww, eww, eww" Mai thought to her self. 'why did I let them drag me here'. Apparently they had rented out the club for the night and its sexy male dancers. Mai watched the chaos unfold around her. She grabbed Ayako by the arm.

"Ya know this is really inappropriate! My future mother in law is here for gods sake!" Mai complained to Ayako

"Do give me that attitude. Luella planned this all." Huffed Ayako.

"What?" Mai looked over to her future mother in law who was sitting on the bar doing shots of vodka with who Mai hope was a rather large manish woman with pigtails. "Who are all these people? I don't recall inviting these people to the wedding or seeing them at the shower."

"Oh I can answer that one for you." Madoka said as she magically appeared next to Ayako "Luella thought it would be fun to invite some random people we met."

"Where exactly did you find these people?" Mai asked slowly.

"On the way here. Luella got lost several times. We had to ask direction and Luella handed out flyers too. We had about a 150 flyer and we gave them all out at the bars, the chop shop, and the tattoo parlor, oh and these nice women who where standing on the street corners." Madoka finished. Mai couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Don't worry Martin knows Luella very well. He just told her not to end up in the ER by the end of the night. As for Naru, he is completely unaware that on his mother's "wild side."

"I think I need a drink." Mai walked over to a table in the corner and plopped down. She ordered a drink and attempted to stay out of trouble. The party raged on. Masako and Ayako seemed to having a good time, although she was rather worried about the amount they had to drink. They were beginning to stumble and slurr their words. Madoka stay clear of the alcohol and Luella who had drank more than anyone else was still very sober. 'how is she not even staggering? A large man who have been dead by now.' Out of the corner of her eye she saw someone who looked familiar. It was Yasuhara with a camera.

"Yasuhara?"

"Oh hey there bride to be. Awesome party by the way." He cheerfully greeted her.

"Shouldn't you be at Naru's bachelor party?" Mai asked.

"I was there, but then the bachelor ran out and left us. It was pretty dull after that."

"Where did u guys go?"

"We took him to a paranormal convention. Monk's band was playing. I only picked it to see how Naru would react when greeted with hords of ghost groupies and the space freaks, you know the ones that think that they are waiting for the mother ship. Believe me this was not just another lame convention, these people had booz! A lot of booz. That place was crazy!"

"I thought you said it was dull?"

"Compared to how it was when Naru was there it was." Yasuhara began to laugh "wait till you see it."

The bachelor party

So they got to the convention center. They had managed to drag Naru there by drugging his tea. They entered and left Naru in a corner of the room. When Naru woke up, he thought he had entered another dimension. There were strobe lights, bubbles, and people dressed as aliens. There were also a good number of people with Ghost Busters shirts on.

"Did you read the works of Dr. Oliver Davis? I think he is a crack pot old fool." Said one ghost groupie to a purple girl alien.

"Hmm, you may be right. The man clearly does not know his field. Not even one mention of aliens!" said the purple girl alien.

"He must be a real loser. Never goes out in public." Said another ghost groupie.

"He must be ugly. There are no pictures of him." Said a pink guy alien,

"He probably doesn't get much action if you know what I mean." Said a green alien who Naru wasn't sure of the sex. They all began to laugh.

Naru stood there. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to say something to defend himself, but the words wouldn't come out. He was going to kill Yasuhara and whoever else was involved.

"Yo Naru!" yelled Monk from the stage. "Hey everyone with here is Naru. He's getting married. Lets show him a good time. Body surfing time!" The next second Naru was being pulled and grabbed at. He was lifted into the air and was now being passed along the crowd. He looked around him. He could see his father on a platform doing some kind of weird movement. Lin stood on a balcony surveying the scene. 'that traitor!' Naru muttered. John was talking to the green alien with the unknown gender. He (john) looked a little scared as the green alien, and a few others too, started to hit on him. The crowd started throwing Naru in the air. Naru looked at Lin again who was now joined by Yasuhara. Yasuhara seemed to be recording this whole ordeal. Yasuhara waved to Naru. Naru mouthed the words "your dead!", but Yasuhara didn't seem to care as he help up a scene that said "I love you too!". Naru wanted to get down, but he didn't know how.

"Ok guys, the bands going to take a quick break." Announced Monk. As soon as he had, the crowd threw Naru away. He managed to land without hurting himself. Naru ran out of there as fast as he could.

Yasuhara had been filming when he saw Naru leave. He turned his attention now to John who was being held captive by the aliens. "I'm a catholic priest" he yelled out frantically in an attempt to escape. This seemed to excite the aliens even more as they dragged him off to who knows where.

"hey girls, there's a bachelorette party going on. It's a total rave! You got to check it out!" cried one of the female ghost groupies. Yasuhara got his hands on one of the flyers. It had a giant picture of Mai on it.

"I guess I'm going to head there now. I'm sure you'll look after the others." Yasuhara said to Lin.

Back to the bachelorette party

"So you didn't try to save John from those people?" Mai yelled

"I'm sure Lin will take care of it."

"Yasuhara, you had better hope so!" Mai warned him.

The evening eventually came to a close. Mai went home to Naru and straight to bed. He didn't ask about her night and she didn't ask about his. They both needed to recover. The next day at the office everyone gathered to watch the footage that Yasuhara had shot.

"Oh honey you were doing the robot!" squealed Luella.

"Is that what that was? It looked like some weird mating dance." remarked Naru.

"Oh poor John!" cried Ayako, Masako, and Madoka.

"By the way, Lin, how was John when you dropped him off?" Mai asked.

"How did you get him away from those space freaks?" laughed Yasuhara.

"Yeah, it looked like they were ready to take him back to the mother ship." added Monk giving Yasuhara a high five. Lin's calm face changed to show pure panic.

"Wait! I thought you were bring him back with you, Monk?" said Lin as he jumped out of his seat.

"So no one knows where John is?" cried Mai. She ran and grabbed her coat and car keys, then grabbed Yasuhara by the ear.

"Oww! What are you doing, Mai!" yelled Yasuhara.

"You're coming with me! We're going to find John! So take me back to the last place you saw him." Mai said as she dragged Yasuhara out of the office.

John

He was in what appeared to be a backroom or basement, decorated to look like a spaceship or rather a sad attempt at decorating. The group that had carried him off had fallen asleep around and on him. He was trapped. "Help me someone." John cried faintly.

They managed to find John. Mai used her powers and tracked him down with Yasuhara in tow. He filmed the whole thing. Mai kicked down the door and stormed in. It seemed the aliens were unwilling to give up John so Mai had to persuade them.

"Listen here, blondie." Mai said as she had two girls by the hair. They others she had taken down already. She now pulled the blond alien girl closer so she could hear her. "You are going to give up the priest and I will let you keep you head on you shoulders. Do you understand me?" Mai asked as she gave the girl's head a violent shake while she pinned the other girl's head to the wall.

As they were left, Mai support a very pale looking John. "You're going to fine, John. I'll take you where ever you need to go." Mai try to reassure him.

"A law degree from Yale and that's how you persuaded them to give him up? Remind me never to go to court against you." said a very amused Yasuhara.

Of course Yasuhara put this all on DVD and made everyone copies. No one ever forget that night. They didn't need a DVD of it to remember. It was forever burned into their brains. Some more than others. Naru was traumatized by the behavior of his parents and John would not even speak of what happened to him. Luckily they both recovered in time for them to leave for the wedding.
