I do not own Ghost hunt ^. ^
MAI'S P.o.V.
I shot up, and grabbed my head, as Sota rubbed my back.
"Whoa Mai, You might want to get up slower next time. Are you okay?"
Mai smiled at him, "Yah, sorry I just had a weird dream that Naru...Shibuya was yelling at me. It was weird."
Sota started to laugh, "That's weird." His face went somber, "Anyway Mai. I wanted to talk to you about my father. A few years back, they had gotten into a fight, and I left not wanting to deal with it. I ended up wrecking my car, and almost died. My father couldn't handle the stress and he moved out. My mother blamed me. She will never say she did, but even now, she rarely speaks to me and ignores me. After a few weeks my father came back. He told me he missed me more than I could know, but my mother said nothing. My father would always pay attention to me, talk to me every day and we would just spend time together, but if I as so much came into the same room as my mother she would get up and leave. When my father died she got worse, she would always be angry and hateful to everyone, so I left for a few days. I went and slept at the subway. When I came back she broke into tears, she had said 'You left me, your father left me. Stop leaving me alone.' I ran to her and told her I was back and she cried in my arms all night. This was only about a month ago, but my father's spirit is still here. We just want him to rest."
Mai wrapped her arm around the boy, as tears poured from his eyes, "My mother blames me for my father leaving, she is still so upset. I just want her to be happy."
"Oh Sota!" Mai was almost in tears, "We will make this better for you."
"I believe you."'
NORMAL P.o.V.
Oliver stood in the room looking at his crew, seeing the shocked look on their faces after receiving the news.
"So you are saying that Mai has been following around a ghost?" Monk said looking at the still uncounsious girl on the couch.
"It would seem so. Ms. Matsuzaki, you said everything looks okay on her?"
The woman nodded, "Yea, I have no idea why she won't wake up."
"He doesn't know he is dead."
Everyone turned and looked at Masako who was silent until then.
"Do you have any proof on the matter Ms. Hara?"
Masako nodded, staring at no one in particular, "I once saw something like this, where a woman's young child had died, but didn't know it. She eventually fell into a deep sleep, and it was concluded that she was taken there by her son. When she had waken she told how she was with her son playing. She had no memory of his death and thought she was still awake in the living world."
Oliver put his hand to his chin, "And how was she woken?"
"We did a séance, and told the boy he was dead. He was only around five, but he took it very well, and moved on almost instantly. The only catch was that we had to have to mother in the room or else we weren't able to reach him."
"Then it's settled!" Monk shouted, "That's all we need to do."
Oliver stood up and walked to the door, "Then you all get ready, Lin get Mai, then follow me."
Oliver walked out of the room and began to walk down the hall. He stopped at the room he had chosen when he arrived and walked into it. When Lin walked in with Mai he laid her down on the small couch over in the corner and walked over placing his hand on Oliver's shoulder. "She will be okay."
Oliver shrugged from him and walked over to the other side of the room as the others walked in. John walked to the center with a small round table and placed it down. The others grabbed fold out chairs and sat around facing towards Masako.
"So I assume you will be channeling the spirit Ms. Hara?"
Masako nodded, "I am the only one here capable."
"What about Lin? Or Naru? Hell even Mai if she was conscious." Ayako said, aggravated with the girls attitude.
"Now is not the time, we need to help Mai, and help this spirit move on."
MAI'S P.o.V.
Sota had gone silent after the conversation, and it was making me feel awkward. I turned to look at him and saw he was staring at the floor with a serious look in his eyes. He looked up at me suddenly and sand placed his hand in mine. I blushed and attempted to move my hand away, but his grip only got tighter.
"Sota, what are you..."
"I'm scared! I feel like something is pulling me. I'm sorry, I'm just... I'll be right back."
Sota stood up and rushed out of the room slamming the door behind him, causing me to jump. After a few moments I stood up and walked out of the door in attempt to follow him, but was stopped as Naru walked into the room.
"Hey Naru, did…"
"Gene."
"Gene?"
NORMAL P.o.V
Oliver watched as Masako's eyes went hazy, then saw her jolt as the spirit entered her. She/he looked up in confusion then looked straight at Oliver.
"Why am I here, where is Mai. What did you do with her?" (I'm going to just say Masako when speaking about the ghost too)
Oliver was almost surprised with how instant he had begun talking, but then the boy didn't know he wasn't among the living. Masako's eyes squinted at Oliver when he didn't answer, then it turned into a glare that could rival his.
"I get it, just because I'm a guy means I can't be her friend."
"We didn't take Mai from you. She's asleep in the corner." John brown said pointing to the sleeping shadow.
Masako's glare shifted from Oliver to John, "Am I really to believe that? I just left her in my room less then two minutes ago. There is no way you could have gone and gotten her in that time, you have been in here."
"How did you get in here?" Oliver asked the ghost.
"I… uh…"
"You are dead Sota. You have been dead for years. Mai isn't with you in person only in spirit. You have to let her go Sota, you have to move on." John said in a peaceful voice that even calmed Oliver down for a moment.
"I'm….. Dead?"
"I'm afraid so."
"And you expect me to believe that? I'm not dead! You're lying! I'm not! I'm not! I'm not!" Things began to shake around, and some small things even started to slam into walls, "Stop lying! Stop it!"
Lin jumped up and hit Masako's pressure point as gently as he could, but still receiving the desired effect, as she slumped over. John jumped up and ran over to her, then picked her up and walked with Ayako to the base to check on her.
"What do you say we should do now Oliver?" Lin asked standing up and walking over to the boy.
Oliver didn't answer, he instead stood up and walked over to Mai. He placed his hand on her cheek and sighed. After a few moments he turned around looked at Lin, his hand still on Mai.
"We hope that she can convince him. We hope that she is smart enough to figure it out herself. I don't know if exercising him would affect Mai in any way, so we have to wait for Ms. Hara to wake up before we make another move."
MAI'S P.o.V
"So, Sota is dead?"
"That is correct."
"And this is all a dream?"
"Yes Mai. And if you want Sota to move on you need to convince him. Up until now I wasn't able to be here, but when he left it gave me a window. He doesn't even understand what he is doing, which is more dangerous then you could understand."
Gene turned and opened the door, "I know you can do it Mai."
Ii closed my eyes as the door close, then I heard it reopen only to see Sota come in looking angry.
"Sota, what's…"
"Your boyfriend is so set on me not being around you that he trapped me and tried to play tricks on me. For someone who tries to look so professional he sure is childish."
I placed my hands on his shoulder slightly blushing at the fact that he had called Naru my boyfriend but then realized that this was neither the time nor place, "What kind of tricks?"
He looked away from me, "He tried to tell me I was dead, what a stupid joke."
I felt a twinge in my heart, and knew that I had to tell him even if I didn't want to. I took a deep breath in, then let it out and squeezed his shoulder, "He wasn't joking Sota."
Sota pulled away and began to back away from me, "You too? Mai why would you say that?"
"Because it's true Sota."
The room started to darken, and felt as if it were getting smaller. Soon all I could see was Sota glowing slightly. Then almost instantly we were right next to each other, and there was no room for me to move.
"You're…..lying….please."
I felt a tear going down my face, I wanted to tell him I was lying, but it wouldn't help him in the long run, "I wish I was. But you need to move on."
He was shaking, and I wrapped my arms around him, "Sota… please."
"I don't believe you Mai. I won't believe you Mai."
"Son. Believe her."
I looked up and saw a man, twice my height, but with a soft face. I felt Sota let go of me, as he began to walk towards the man, his hand extended out. "D-dad?"
"Sota, I have been waiting for you."
Sota kept walking until he was right next to the man, then he was pulled into a hug where he started to cry.
"Son, it's time to go. Thank you Little Lady, I wish I could somehow repay you for helping me get my son back."
I smiled at him then walked up and put my hand on Sota, who was laying against his father silently, "Just move on, and be free together."
As a golden light emitted around them I saw Sota smile at me one last time, "Thank you."
NORMAL P.o.V
Masako's eyes fluttered open, "She did it."
And as sudden as they had opened. They closed.
MAI'S P.o.V
I opened my eyes, and saw Naru sitting at the end on the couch, reading a book. As I sat up he turned to me and his eyes went wide, the quickly back to normal. If I couldn't read him the way I could, I would have merely thought it was a trick of the light.
"You did it?"
I nodded my head and stretched my arms, "How long was I asleep?"
"Six hours."
I swung my legs to the floor then stood up and streatched my arms, "I've slept longer."
"You always seem to be the one getting yourself into trouble. Stop worrying me like that."
I giggled, "Why, are your hairs going to grey? You should be happy that I am okay, not complaining that I finished the case."
I turned around and saw that Naru had stood up and was mere centimeters from my face, causing me to flush, "N-Naru. What are you doing?"
He smirked at me, "Showing you why I am glad that you're okay, Mai." He whispered into my ear, causing me to shiver.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know what I want from you, Mai?"
"W-what" I felt my body warming up, as my breathing accelerated.
"Tea." Then he sat back on the couch and opened up his book.
I felt my face get redder, but this time with anger, "You stupid tea loving narcissistic jerk!"
I stomped off to the kitchen, and as I walked past Sota's room, I could have sworn that I heard him and his father laughing.
Sorry it took me so long to update, I just got bored with this case, and really wanted to start the next one that I have in mind, but then realized that I was only halfway done with this. Anywho, R&R and have a Great day!
