Chap 11
Naru took his coat away revealing a sleeping Mai. The SPR team gasped. Ayako and Masako were looking at her and crying happily. Houshou moved near her and hold her hand. His back was trembling. Yasuhara and John looked at them smiling. Lin just stood near the door looking at their clients sharply.
"Don't worry, we won't escape..." Ryoutarou said. Lin shoot him a glare. "Hey, we have our reason here so you don't have to shoot such a scary glare..."
"It's late, you can either stay here or back to your room." Kazahaya said, he glared at them. "But don't try to disturb her."
Naru kept looking to her, he clenched his fist. Lin noticed it and gave them a signal to let Naru here alone. They took a last glance to the girl and moved out.
"I appreciate if you want to leave them alone..." Lin said. Kazahaya looked at Ryoutarou. Ryoutarou nodded, they left the room.
When the door shutted, Naru let his tear fall. He hugged her lightly as if afraid he would broke her.
"Mai...Thank you for being safe... Thank you for not leaving me..." He said then drifted to sleep beside her without release her hand.
(Lin's pov)
"Thank you for not leaving me..." I heard Naru said that from outside the room. I'm sure that he is crying right now. I smiled a bit. 'Welcome back and thank you for come back to us, Mai...' I thought.
I walked away from the room. "Do you know who she really is?" I asked them. Kazahaya and Ryoutarou stopped and looked at me. I had a feeling that they know.
"Yes, we know. Do you have a problem Lin Koujo-san,the onmyouji from chinese who work at british psychic research who accompanny the famous scientist, Oliver Davis?" Ryoutarou sarcastically said to me.
I surprised they know my real identity. "Of course I have. She is..."
He cut me before I finished. "Taniyama Mai, eighteen years old girl who had lost her parent and worked at SPR. I know. If you want to ask why we kept quiet it, we'll explain it to you later." I admitted that he is right but I disliked his attitude. He seemed dislike me too.
"I undersatnd." I said. They went to their room. That Ryoutarou, it seems he isn't a ordinary people. I could sense something different from him. My shiki also felt something to him. I took a last glance to that room. I left three of my shiki there and went to my room.
They were very protective to Mai, they won't hurt her but the fact they were know Noll's identity was shocking me too. They were not just an ordinary people. Back then when the ghost appeared and attacked, they were much calmer than an ordinary people. They looked like had some experiences with paranormal occurance. I sighed. I never felt so tired like this for a long time. I drifted to sleep once I laid on the bed.
Ryoutarou's pov
I and Kazahaya walked to Kazahaya's room on the fourth floor. So, that was Koujo Lin that 'he' had talked about. I admitted he was right, Koujo Lin was a great onmyouji. But, I couldn't tell the different between his surprised face and his normal face! I thought he was surprised back then but he didn't show anything when I said that. Had he already known about our realation to that man?
"Ryou, is it alright to leave Mai?" Kazahaya asked.
"It's alright, they won't do anything to Mai." I answered.
"It's not them, I mean the spirit.." Kazahaya stopped in front of the room.
"Don't worry, Kazahaya, the onmyouji has left his shiki with Mai. She'll be alright. She is also with that Oliver Davis, isn't she?" I reassured him.
"You're right. Good night, Ryou."
"Good night." Kazahaya went in the room and I went to my room which was next to his.
Original pov
The next morning, Mai woke up first. She could sense someone's hand gripped her hand. She surprised when she saw Naru slept on the chair beside her. She panicked but calmed down when she remembered what happened yesterday. She realized there were tears on his eyes. She wiped it slowly with her other hand.
Naru felt someone's hand on his face. He opened his eyes to see the girl wiped his tear. He immmediately released her hand and sat up. He wiped his tear by his sleeve.
"Why are you crying?" She asked. She moved near him. He surprised that she looked at him so near.
"It's nothing..." Naru reasoned. Mai was looking at him intently.
"Hey, we have met before. I know you, don't I?"
"You... remember?"
"Not really but I can feel it. I know you... It hurt to see you hurt or sad like before... Please, don't ever said that your life is not worthy. Please don't ever said that your existence have no meaning. It really hurt me. I don't know why but it's really hurt me..."
Naru hugged her. "As long as you're beside me, I won't... But please promise me, you will remember me again... There's something that I want to told you but I want to tell you when you retrieve your memory... And promise me you will stay beside me..."
Mai hugged him back and smiled. "I promised." They looked at each other and smiled. "You know, you should smiling often. It's looked good for you." Mai said.
Naru smirked. "I'm looked good even I'm not smiling..." he stated.
"You... narcissist!" He chuckled. How he miss this reaction. He waited her until she finished take a shower then they went to his room. Lin had awaken and waited for them. Lin talked to Mai a bit when Naru take a shower.
"I'm sorry for yesterday... I didn't mean..." Mai said nervously. Lin smiled and ruffled her hair.
"It's nice to see you again, Mai..." Lin said. "What happened to your memory?"
"Kazahaya-nii and Ryou-kun said that I got into an accident and lost my memory." She touched her chest and closed her eyes. "They said my memory won't fully came back until the curse lifted. And it also said that the curse is connected to the most vengeful ghost here..." She reopened her eyes and looked at Lin seriously "But it doen't mean that I bring a misfortune..."
Lin chuckled a bit."So, if we cleanse the spirit, the curse will lifted?"
"I hope so..." She glanced at the bathroom door. "I promised him to. I don't want him to be sad. I hate to see him sad..."
Lin chuckled a bit and patted her shoulder. He looked at her wound carefully. Mai noticed where he looking at.
"Oh, don't worry, because I fall down three days ago, my wound reopened because it haven't fully recovered. I had a problem that time. I was scolded by Kazahaya-nii and Ryou-kun..." She rubbed her back of head nervously. Naru came out from the bathroom and went to the base. The other had waited for them.
Kazahaya's Pov
Three and half years ago
We were sitting at the tea house in the middle of garden in his house talking about our family.
"My brother are so workholic and also full of pride! He decided to stay than go here with me! That idiot scientist!" That man said. I laughed. He was smiling when he said that. I knew that he loved his brother. He also very proud of his brother even he didn't want to admit it. I wonder how his brother looked like. I heard they are twin. "He said he is going to in the university that offered him a scholarship! That's why he declined my offer!"
"As expected from your brother?" I teased. He looked at me sulked.
"HELL NO!" he said blushed. I laughed hard. "Stop laughing,Kazahaya!!" I can't bear his pouted face and laughed more.
"Oh come on, Just admit it!" Ryoutarou teased too. His face showed a tint red. Ryoutarou laughed a bit.
"Enough... I'm going!!" He stood up and took his bag. I pulled him back to sit.
"Sorry, sorry, don't be so mad, Gene!"
Present time
"What happened to Mai's memory?" Shibuya or that Oliver said. What's his call again? Gene called him Noll but they called him Naru. He glared at us like a hungry wolf. He looked different in this situation. Gene would ask politely and smiled. If Naru is a wolf, What's Gene? Dog or cat? Hey, what am I thinking about...
"Mai's memory was spelled to be forgotten so I can't do anything about it." I looked at Mai sadly. "That's the counter spell which Ryou" 'and him', I added in my mind, "gave to you. I enjoyed become your brother though." I looked at her then moved my gaze away. I'll definitely miss her. I felt two small and warm hand hugged me. I hugged her back.
"You could always become my brother, you know. I will always acknowlegde you as my brother." She said. I thanked her. She released me and smiled. It's really hurt me to see her body injured like that even she had become better than 'that time'.
Takigawa touched her shoulder, she turned and blinked. "Mai-chan! Your father missed you sooo much! I miss my favourite coffee!!" Takigawa said, he pulled her into a tight embrace.
Matsuzaki shoved Takigawa away. "Are you alright!? Why there are so many bandages on your body!!" Matsuzaki asked while her hand touched her cheek like a mother.
"Mai... Thanks God..." Hara said behind her sleeve.
Yasuhara who sat in front of the monitor turned and looked at her amused. John touched her shoulder and smiling. I looked at the silence duo.
Lin smiled and Naru... How I described his expression? Somehow he looked happy but also showed jealousy. Gene, what a weird brother you had.
Mai gave them a confused look. It can't be helped since she hasn't retrieve her memory yet... But she looked cute! As expected from my sister! I laughed in my mind.
"Kazahaya-nii, are they my parent? Why I looked different from them?" Mai pointed at Takigawa and Matsuzaki. I blinked and tried to surpress my laughter. But I let out a chuckle when they all laughed except Mai who confused and Lin, Naru and Ryou.
"No, they're not... Don't worry Mai, you'll remember soon after the spirit purified." I reassured her.
"How we lure them to come out?" Takigawa asked. I could hear his impatient tone. 'Mai think I were his father... Great... I'll definitely make the stupid curser pay.' Takigawa thought.
"I don't know too. That's your job." I answered lightly.
"What was the spirit that Mai purified yesterday?" Naru asked.
"They are... the children..." Mai stopped and looked at me.
"The children who had trapped and died here." I said in Mai's place. "This place used to be a children jail but it broke down when the earthquake occured and killed many people. Mai must have attract them and make them satisfied so they purified." I explained. I did a research with Gene before and Mai had dreamed it but she has forgot about it. It's not the first time she attracted the children spirit. Maybe the children felt like have a sister or mother like they had dreamed.
"You had done a research about this house, hadn't you?" Naru said in annoyance.
"Yes... But I don't think it essential to tell you. You are a great researcher, aren't you? What could you espect from a businessman like me?" I answered sarcastically.
"This is enough for chit chat. Can you start?" Ryou said.
Naru glared at me like saying –Don't think I will let you go before I got a full explanation- .
I sighed. He liked to glaring, didn't he? 'Gene... I hope I can found you soon...' I thought before I get my document out from my bag to waste my time while they tried to make a plan.
'Or I could be killed by your brother...'
This chapter was a bit awkward, wasn't it? I'll try to make my OC's pov because they had the main key for the problem.
Kazahaya and Ryoutarou knew Gene and had lived with him before Gene gone. What relationship was they had?
