I just read volume 10 of ghost hunt which was uploaded by Mangafox. I have read the spoiler though but still I waited for it. Hopefully the ending was different with the one which had been spoiled. And don't worry, I won't spoil it here whether you want or didn't want to know the spoiler. Just read the mangafox if you want to know.

Oh and sorry for being late. I got a damn hell week last week and next week... Which mean... I doubted whether I could upload (or even make) the next chapter next week.

Anyway, Happy reading!


Chap 11

The twins were surprised. "Kazahaya! You're unfair! Noll has apologized and begged to you so desperately! Why don't you just forgive him!" Gene said.

Kazahaya leaned to the wall behind him. "You said that you couldn't think clearly that time, didn't you?" Kazahaya said. "What if this case happened again and you did the same thing? Okay, this time you only pushed her away and ignored her. You almost slapped her if I wasn't in front of her that time. What if you are too blind and used your power? Should I entrust her to someone who can kill her anytime when they are easily be blinded? Should I lost my life to protect her from YOU so you can realize your MISTAKE or for even worst you need to kill her first!?"

Naru and Gene clenched their fist. They looked at each other. They knew it was the problem that they had made and Kazahaya was making it become more complicated. What he just said was reasonable and he won't receive any promise no matter how they meant it. Kazahaya was a kind and forgiving man, maybe they had gone overboard because of it so he became like this.

"Beside..." Naru and Gene looked back at Kazahaya. "You two just came to us because you know that Mai has met that spirit and didn't disappear like your mother. In the other means, you only want to use her." Kazahaya said. "She's a human, my sister, dammit! Not a tool that you can take when you want to and throw when you have finished with it!"

"No! Well, I also want to ask her about that but I came here because I want to apologize! I never thought her as a tool! She's my girl! She's the girl who I ever loved and will always I love! Please, Mai!" Naru said.

"Don't listen to him."

"Mai, listen to me, I love you and always love you and only you! I can't lose my love for you not even a chance in my life! Please forgive me!"

Kazahaya glared. "Another beautiful speech... Is there any other things you want to share?" Kazahaya sarcastically said.

Naru punched the wall angrily. "It's not a speech, dammit! I mean it!"

"Kazahaya, won't you please stop offending us and let Mai to talk?" Gene said.

Kazahaya sighed. "Mai doesn't say anything to you anyway. What's the point?" He said without emotion.

Clack! Blood started to flow from Naru's hand. He was clenching his hand so powerfully. "Mai, please... let me to fix my mistake. Don't make me fall even further." Naru whispered.

Kazahaya noticed the blood from Naru's hand and ruffled his hair. 'Did I have done something bad?' He thought. 'Oh man, she would get furious if she...' Suddenly a big thick book came to Kazahaya's head, Kazahaya yelped. "Ryou!" He whined.

The hawk flied back and perched on Ryoutarou's shoulder. "I thought you only want to ensure that Oliver Davis still loves Mai, admit his mistake, and won't do that again." Ryoutarou scolded. "Why do you make it more complicated?" That hawk took that book and flied to Kazahaya again.

"Okay, okay, I stop, I stop!!!"

Ryou whistled and that hawk perched back to his shoulder. "And why don't you tell them that Mai is asleep?"

The twins blinked. "Dammit, he is playing with us!" Gene thought angrily.

"Serve you right, anyway." Rei who was floating on the air said. "You'd better thank him that he is the one who gave you the punishment than me. I almost curse you up but that man asked me not to."

Kazahaya stood up and picked Mai gently. She looked very calm in her sleep. He walked to Naru. "Naru-chan, I give you another chance. Please don't disappoint me again." He gave Mai to Naru. "Or I will…" He whispered something to Naru.

Naru's eyes widened. "Are you serious?" Naru said.

"Unfortunately and fortunately, I'm quite serious. If you disappoint me…"

"I won't..." Naru decided to take Mai to his room so they can talk more easily later.

Gene was fidgeting nervously. "Uh, Kazahaya... about what I have said earlier... I'm..."

"Apology accepted." Kazahaya ruffled Gene's hair.

Gene pouted but he smiled. "You're really an annoying director." He said. "Dammit, your act was great!"

"Am I?" Kazahaya laughed. He gave a glance to Rei who was smirked at him. Kazahaya smiled back at him. 'Mai, you are the master of getting a dangerous people... and spirits.' He thought.

Flashback (when Mai was taken by the duo to calm herself)

Mai refused to go out from the house. Kazahaya strangely took her to Takumi's room collection. Mai sat on the corner said nothing while Kazahaya looked at the collection silently. Ryou stood next to the door quietly. Kazahaya's cheek was red but it wasn't bad so he didn't do anything about that.

"Why?" Ryoutarou suddenly said. They turned their attention to him. "Why don't you tell them about that, Kazahaya?"

Kazahaya chuckled. "They didn't ask neither tell me. I am not 'don't tell' but I'm 'haven't told'." Kazahaya simply answered.

"What do you mean?" Mai asked.

"You know, Mai..." Kazahaya walked to her and sat beside her. "Most of these collections were former in Tsukiyomi's art collections which were either stolen or been sold."

"Tsukiyomi's? Most of these are father's?" Mai asked.

Kazahaya smiled sadly. "Yes, it is..." He said. 'It is father's, Mai... It is...' He thought bitterly.

"Did this thing happen when it was in Tsukiyomi? Was there anyone missing there?"

Kazahaya shifted. "No, these cases never happened in Tsukiyomi. The other reason why we came is because we want to know. We want to know why this happened." He told her.

"So it is not one of these artwork's doing?"

Kazahaya chuckled. "I didn't expect that Gene and Hara-san didn't notice it." Kazahaya touched Mai's cheek. "It is, Mai. One of these artworks was the source of this problem."

"But they said that..."

"I know. I have heard all your conversations from the recording. But trust me, it is one of these artworks. I even had told Ryou to ensure my theory."

Mai stood up. "I have to tell..." Kazahaya caught her arm and made her to sit down again. "Kazahaya-nii?"

"Mai, a man has a lot of pride and confidence, especially your super idiot Naru." He pulled Mai close to him so Mai's head rested on his shoulder. "If you told him now, he wouldn't change. He has to learn how to ask the other's help. Gene too... They can't think clearly because they are panicked. Luella Davis is their mother. I know that disturbed them a lot. They are afraid that they will lose their mother forever. I know that their mother is the person who looked at them as a son, not as a thing or tool. She loves them as a mother. Luella Davis, as far I can say, she is a great mother. But that doesn't mean that combo idiot and stupid should rely on their own power. They have some greats partners beside them who are ready to do anything for them. Ask another's help is not a prove that you're weak. They are also one of your powers."

"Nii-san..."

"So I think this is the best lesson for them to learn." He smiled. "I need my future brother in law learn so he won't fail in the same case. The key of a company is companions." Kazahaya winked.

Mai hugged Kazahaya tightly. "You're the best brother I have, Kazahaya-nii!" Mai said happily.

Kazahaya hugged Mai back. "So cute!!!" He claimed. Mai struggled to get out from the tight embrace of her brother.

Ryoutarou sweat dropped at the scene in front of him but unconsciously he laughed. "That two..." He whispered and smiled gently. "Kazahaya, you're really an idiot..." The hawk brushed its head with Ryou's cheek. 'Airi-san, I think you can be eased now. Kazahaya has grown into a great man.' He thought.

"Oh, I just remembered. Nekane is going to marry a man from her former college! Can you believe that!?" Kazahaya suddenly said.

"He!? Nekane-nee? I'm relieved!" Mai said happily.

"I'M NOT!!!"

'I should take back my word! He is definitely need to be look by you, Airi-san!!!' Ryou thought. Mai and Ryoutarou looked at each other with a knowing look. "Sister complex mode on again..." Mai and Ryoutarou said in unison. They laughed. Kazahaya complained a lot about that man.

Meanwhile, Nekane and Nekano in the corporation...

Nekane sneezed. "Are you caught in cold, Nekane-chan?" Nekano asked.

"No, I think someone talking about me and I know who it is..." Nekane said.

"Kazahaya." They said in unison.

Nekane dropped herself on the couch. "He should do something with his sister complex..." Nekane said.

Nekano piled the paper neatly. "Haha, he still doesn't approve you with Ichi-san?" Nekano chuckled. "I can imagine how he will put Ichi-san to an inspection room and..." They laughed.

End of flashback

In the dream (Mai's pov)

I was flying through the sky. I arrived at an enormous castle. Kazahaya and some other people with wings like me were also there. Kazahaya looked sad. I knew it was my mistake and I thought I was ready to receive it but now I felt a pain in my heart. I have hurt the people I love with my selfishness.

"You have ready to receive your punishment, Mai?" Kazahaya asked sadly.

"Yes, your highness..." I answered.

Kazahaya's hand formed something like a light. "I shouldn't send you..." he whispered. "I'm sorry, Mai. My beloved little sister..."

My wings became black and I was pushed away from that place. I knew it well. I wasn't able to come back to that place. But it doesn't matter. I have him.

I fall to that house. "Mai!" Naru shouted. "Mai, are you alright?" He asked.

I nodded and hugged him tightly. "I'm no longer an angel. I'm no longer your guardian spirit..." I said. "But I still can make the other dark matter to not come into this village. It's all that I can do."

"I don't care about it! As long as I have you!" Naru said.

"Naru..." He locked me with his warmth kiss.

But human's age was a border for us. He was aging and I wasn't. I ate from what he took for me and no one allowed seeing me or they would kill me. When he died, it was the beginning of my hell. The villagers found me. They ordered me to go out from his house but I refused. They threatened to kill me but I still refuse to go out. I was thrown by stones, wood, or any other things but I still refuse to go out. I didn't eat anymore. I drank from the rain which filled the jar behind the house.

I didn't mind. I just didn't want to leave that house. I didn't want to.

Kazahaya can't take it anymore. He ordered his angels to get me but I refused to go back. We have to obey the order. I was wrong to love the human but I didn't regret my decision. I couldn't help myself to leave this poor villagers too. If I left, the bad omen and curse would fall upon them.

Kazahaya came down by himself. "Why don't you come back to our place! The elder Lin and the mistress Madoka has agreed!" Kazahaya said.

"No, brother. I can't..."

"But Mai!"

"I can't, brother... I can't... please... If I have to die, I want to die here. I don't mind."

Kazahaya hugged me. His tears soaked my shoulder. "I can't do anything for you..."

After a while, he went back to his place. "Don't worry, brother." I whispered to the air. "Don't worry..."

But that fallen angel finally gone berserk. The reason was unknown. That tragic night, she killed all the villagers who she used to love so much and received her punishment eternally from her own brother. The last thing which she remembered was his brother's crying face.

"I should have taken you back by force..." He whispered and ordered the other to punish her. John took a spear and gave the prayer. Houshou bind her with Ayako's help. Masako locked all her power. But they all let a tear fallen from their eyes when they finished. "One angel has fallen to the depth of the hell..."

Suddenly the scene was changing. "Wow, what a sad story that was." A man with a brown hair and eyes said. He was sitting next to the tree on Rei's pond.

A soft sigh was heard. "Now, will you go?" A white flame said.

"Okay, okay. You don't have to say something that irritatedly."

"Oh so you notice that I'm irritated?"It said sarcastically. "Thank you very much, young human."

He sweat dropped. "You have no humor sense. Thanks for the story, white flame!" He said and disappeared.

"Finally..."

Suddenly he appeared again. "Hey, hey, give me the image of the angel!" That man said.

The white flame almost wanted to burn him to the ash but managed to control its emotion. That man chuckled nervously as the heat was increased.

That man looked very familiar. Awfully familiar. I had seen him somewhere... Ah, he was the man on the stairway. Maybe he was also the man that on the room that time. So it was Takumi. But... I felt something wrong. He's like...

End of the dream.

I didn't realize that I was crying. What was that dream mean? Someone wiped my tears, I touched that warm hand and snuggled to it. I snapped when I heard a chuckle.

I sat up and blushed. "Na-Na-Na-Naru!!!" I shouted.

"You don't have to shout, I have two good ears to hear." He commented sarcastically.

I scowled. "Damn narcissist..." I muttered. I felt the bed was moving. I blushed when I saw Naru was on the SAME bed as me and his face was so near. I could feel his warm breathing. Was it just my imagination or he looked more mature and cooler? Ugh, stupid thought, stupid face, stupid closeness!!! God, I could die now!!! I closed my eyes when I felt his soft lips on mine. "Ung..." His kiss was very gentle and warm.

I gasped when his tongue begged to come into my mouth. I nervously opened my lips and put my trembling hand on his shoulders. I could feel his smirk because of my nervousness even we (cough) had done it for many times. His tongue was touching mine. I shuddered. I fall back to the bed while still liplocking with him. His hand was on my waist while the other on my back head to deepened the kiss.

We broke apart to gasp on the air but he only allowed me to take a breath for a while and he kissed me again. Why was he so tempting? He broke the kiss and lay beside me.

"I'm sorry, Mai." He whispered on my ears softly. I shivered as his warm breath tickling my neck.

I looked at him and smiled. "You know I will always forgive you no matter what, Naru." I said.

"I love you and I will always love you."

"I know that. I can feel it, Naru..." I hugged him and rested my head on his chest. "Naru..."

Naru stroked my hair gently and we were enjoying our silence.

Original's pov

Ryoutarou was confused when he saw Gene was blushing madly and closed his ears. The other didn't notice that because they were busy to search the information which could help them more. Ryoutarou also saw Rei shook his head and muttering something like 'youth' or did he muttered 'spring' ?. That made him curious. He sent his shiki to see Mai and Naru. He grinned. Now, he knew why the two acted strangely.

'At least they didn't do anything except kissing and hugging.' Ryou thought. 'Or someone would get freaked or maybe more than one, I thought.'

"I know I am always tease you about that but please don't report it to me!!!" Gene begged.

Naru didn't seem notice that and continued what he was thinking. Gene felt his cheek was so hot and his face was all red. 'What the hell is that idiot doing!!!' He thought. 'Argh!'

Gene glanced at the other. He hoped that no one saw his blush or someone would get freaked. He saw Rei was smirking and sometimes he was chuckling. That spirit definitely knew. Ryoutaoru looked at him and moved his mouth. 'keep it down or your brother would get killed.' He signed me. Oh, he knew that.

'Noll, I'll get you later!'

Little talk at SPR

"Don't talk to me..." I said. "Neither look at me with such a pervert eye!!" I shouted irritatedly at these people. I slammed the door of Naru's office. Naru was chuckling almost heard as laughing with Gene.

"What!?" I snapped.

"I didn't say anything." He said.

"Your attitude was..." I put my laptop on the spare desk there which was made since Gene came back. Gene sat on the corner of the desk and patted my head.

Naru glanced at me once a time and pressed a laugh.

"Naru, I'll kill you if you didn't stop glance at me." I said.

"I can't help it. Your face is all red. Is it because..."

I glared dagger at him. "If you said it..." I threatened.

"If I said it?" He was chalanging me.

I sighed. "I'll show Kazahaya about that and I'll make sure he won't let you see Mai for a week, no, for a month. A WHOLE MONTH, I promise." I threatened.

"Can you?"

"Do you want to try me?"

"I dare you can't."

"Let's try... Mai hasn't come yet, has she? Okay, then..." I opened my cell-phone and gave a message for Kazahaya. "Starting today until a month after, there's no Mai except I'll let it." I closed my cell-phone and started to type on my laptop.

"Mai said she would come at ten." Naru looked back at his pc.

"In five second she will phone you..." Naru's cell-phone was ringing. "and tell you..."

"Na-Naru..." Mai whispered. "Nii-san doesn't let me to come! What have you done to make him like this!"

He glanced at me. "You've gotta kidding me..." He said.

I whistled innocently.

Omake

Gene was blushing all the time. Kazahaya was curious but he shrugged it off. But then he saw Ryou's shiki went away and after a while, Ryou grinned. Oh, that made him really curious. He looked at the other and found Rei was smirking and chuckling sometimes. What happened with these three men?

"NOLL!!! Please stop to go any further!!! Or at least stop thinking about that! I don't need to know what you are doing with Mai on the bed there!!!" Gene shouted.

Someone immediately vanished from the room. The SPR found that the door was opened. Before they checked who's missing, they heard a loud bang upstair.

End of Omake

Do you know why Mai got 'penalty'? Hehehe...

I'm such an evil.


Thanks to the reviewer:

Raito, Rein, Shion
Kazahaya: Everyone seemed like that part so much! (pat my back) See? See?
Ao: (Sarcastically) Yeah, you got a good part while I was about being killed by you-know-who
Ryou: But why don't you tell them about (whisper to me and Kazahaya)
Ao: Oh! That..
Kazahaya: (closed my mouth) AHAHAHAHHAHA! I forgot about something in my room!!
Gene: What is it, Ryou? Tell me! I want to get him back!
Ryou: Well... (Something caught his eyes) Oh I read an interesting part. Raito-san you called me a meanie? (smile but why there was a black aura behind him?) How's your project? I hope that Rein would watch WATCH you better so you aren't late too finish it.
Gene: Twice
Ao: He said it twice...
Gene: I hope you will be alright there, Raito... Shion, look after him! At least he wouldn't be killed or being insane... (Yet?)
Ryou: It seemed Kaya will be treated better with Rein than with a very busy Raito-san.
Kazahaya: There's a folk that said not to wake a sleeping lion.
Ao & Gene: (looked at the aura and nodded in agreement.)

Kay (ow come on, I can't stand if I didn't make you curious! I had unfolded some parts, feel better?)

crazymel2009 (most of your question had been answered and the rest would be answered later.)

Krisaku (Here's an update, sorry for being late and thank you for your review!)

-Skyz-Angels- (well, you can say he was half-kidding. A new brother? Hehe, I wonder if they would. *Wink!*)

Moons-Chan (I wanted to make him a bit cooler than being an usual idiot. Well, a way to hiding a pain is smiling. Maybe he acted idiot so they wouldn't realize whether he was sad or happy. But Ryou who had been many years with him know him well.)

crazymel2008 (Aw, come on. Everyone deserve to learn even a genious Naru. He was too relying himself so as Kazahaya said, he needed to learn to ask help from the other. Asking the other's help is not proving that you're weak anyway)

And to all the readers!
