Hello again here is chapter twelve I hope you guys are enjoying this story I really am enjoying writing it. Like you I am excited to see what happens

I do not own Ghost hunt or the characters.


A half hour later Ayako, Yusa and I stood outside an old dormitory the boys were suspended for the prank they pulled so they would be gone for the next month or so. That made talking to them pretty much impossible so we were given the Key to the dormitory.
/The building was an older apartment style looking building with over fifty rooms. We were the ok to search the five rooms that the boys were living in up until recently.

We walked into the empty foyer two white leather couches sat around a brown coffee table. An unlit fire place sat against the wall with a photo of the school hanging above it.

"Not what I was expecting." I mumbled as we walked into the high ceilinged room. Are shoes clicking against the wooden floor as I walked down the hall heading for the first room. Unlocking the door we walked in finding the room in disarray shredded
/paper lay strewn around the room with the two beds turned on their sides.

"I was expecting a mess not, a tornado." Ayako mumbled as I picked up a few scraps of paper. They appeared to be from a book.

"Madoka, you may want to see this." Yusa said as he moved a shattered mirror that barely hung on the wall.

I gasped as I looked at what appeared to be a pentagram with Japanese characters at the end of each of the points on the star. More Japanese characters surrounded the circle on the outside.

I took out my phone and texted a picture to Lin. This was bad.


Everyone was exhausted but, we kept trying the barrier would crackle and then return to normal as if we had tried nothing. I could see Noll out of the corner of my eye as he watched John and Monk attack together to no avail. My phone dining pulled everyone's
/attention my way as I dug through my pocket.

Pulling out my small silver flip phone I nearly dropped it when I saw the photo's Madoka had sent.

"We aren't dealing with a demon." I said feeling my stomach drop as I looked over the Kanji written around the outside of the circle.

"What are we dealing with then?" Johns Australian voice cut through the silence as everyone looked at me.

"The Devil." I said collective gasps breaking out around the room.

We were in way over our heads and we all knew that but, we had no other choice Mai was being targeted and we couldn't sit by and let that happen.

"We need a new plan." I said looking at Noll as he sat in the chair beside Mai in his thinking pose.

"Naru what are we going to do?" Monk asked the silent boy.


"Gene I can't take much more." I gasped out as another attack launched our way.

"Hang in there Mai." Gene said as he rested his hand on my shoulder.

"Can you go to him?" I asked as he looked in thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"I won't leave you."

"You need to tell him what is happening." I said as another attack hit us.

"Mai..."

"I will be fine it's not like I can go anywhere." I said trying to lighten the mood.

"Mai?"

"Go." I commanded. He took one look at me before he faded away leaving me with the devil himself.

"Now that he is gone I have you to myself." Said a man stepping out onto the gazebo the vines parting as he made is way toward me. His black hair shining as it blew in the soft wind dressed in white with glowing red eyes. He was handsome I would give
/him that but, he wasn't what I had thought he would be I was picturing a monster but, him he smiled so sweetly.

I felt a wave of sleepiness over take me as my eyes drooped and the barrier fell I was losing and I knew it but, still I felt strange as he walked toward me.

"Mai, come with me." He said his voice soft as velvet as he reached out his hand.

I was tempted to reach for him as if I was under a spell my body betrayed me as I fought against the urge to lift my hand as he drew closer his smile taking my breath away as my hand reached toward him against my will.


"Noll!" I heard Gene's voice inside my head.

"Gene?"

"Naru, Mai needs help." He said urgently.

"Don't you think I know this, how do I help her?" I snapped at him.

"You have to destroy the rose."

"How?" I begged not caring how I sounded.

"That I can't tell you." I felt my heart sink but, I knew I couldn't take it out on him.

"Mai needs you Noll, you can't come undone. Noll you have to keep it together." He said as I opened my eyes to see Lin staring at me.

"Are you alright mate?" John asked his face was sweaty and his hair tussled.

I looked over the rest of my team in the room.

Monk looked tired and even Lin was starting to breathe a little harder as his hair dripped down in front of his face.

"We have to try harder." I demanded standing up from my chair and moving over to the rose that was starting to turn a deeper red.

"We have tried everything." Monk said as he stared at me his eyes tired and worn.

"We can't give up Mai wouldn't give up if it was one of us." I snapped my anger and my frustration showing through my usual indifferent mask.

"Naru we aren't giving up on Mai we just need a new plan." John said.

I reached out for the rose feeling a sharp pain shoot through my hand as if warning me to stop in my tracks but, I wasn't going to be beat by a stupid rose.

"Naru." Lin warned as I pulled my hand back again.

"We attack it together." I said ignoring Lin's glare.

"John start then Monk Lin use your shiki I will use…"

"Noll no." Lin argued cutting me off.

"I have to." I said looking at him sternly.

Lin didn't look pleased but, bit his tongue.

""In the begging was the word and the word was with god." John began as Monk joined in with his chant.

Lin whistled as his shiki flew toward the barrier I felt the familiar static pass through my body as my whole being began to glow. I raised my hand above my head and threw my arm forward watching as a ball of energy shot forth.

"It worked." I heard Monk gasp as I watched the last petal wilt into nothing. Petals of various flowers fell down covering the room as a burned spot sat where the table once was.

Surprisingly no one came running with the explosion. I thought as I looked over at Mai.

"No change." John confirmed.

"Damnit." I cursed why hadn't it worked. I thought resisting the urge to slam my fist into the wall.

"Noll!" I could hear my brother's voice as I felt myself slipping into unconsciousness.

"Naru?" I heard Lin call as if he was down along tunnel but, I couldn't open my eyes I knew I was falling but, I couldn't find the strength to stand as I fell into darkness.

"Gene?" I questioned as he appeared in front of me.

"We have to go now." He said grabbing my arm I allowed myself to be pulled along as we ran further into the black abyss.

"Where is Mai?" I asked as we ran through the darkness.

"She is in trouble Noll, the devil is here to claim what he was promised."

I felt my blood run cold at his words when Mai was free and back with me they would pay dearly.

"Noll look." Gene's frantic voice called pulling me from my darkening thoughts.

"Mai." I whispered as we came to a stop not more than ten feet from where she stood in front of a man who reached out toward her.

"Mai stop." I called as she reached out toward him.


"Naru help me." I managed to get out as the man took my hand pulling me toward him.

I was frozen my body was not my own I was but, a visitor in a shell that is how it felt anyways as I watched the man's lips curl into a terrible smirk he pulled me closer his lips close to mine.

"No." I breathed out a red glow forming around me as he stared at me in shock that was soon replaced with anger.

"How can this be?" He asked as I felt a strong burning pass through me.

He screamed as he was thrown back into the gazebo post. I heard a sickening crack as the support gave way. I didn't have time to move as it began to fall down.

"Mai move you idiot." I heard as I felt something strong crash into me.

I rolled to the ground just as the gazebo gave way feeling a pressure on my body as if two warm arms were wrapped around me. Opening my eyes I saw nothing but, black.

"Are you guys alright?" I heard a familiar voice call as I heard footsteps running toward us.

"Yeah." Naru called as he moved enough for me to see his face.

"You really are here." I said a smile creeping across my lips as Naru stared down at me his icy eyes showing relief.

"You guys, I don't think it's over." Gene said as we heard an inhuman laugh the ground began to shake.

"You pesky humans think you can get rid of me? Don't make me laugh."

We stood as Naru pulled me behind him so I was hidden from view.

"I always thought the devil would be scarier." Naru taunted.

"This isn't my true form puny mortal."

"Oh really." He said his skin beginning to glow.

"Naru no." I begged knowing very well what he was doing.

"Mai lend me you power." He said and I looked at him like he was crazy and at this moment I was sure he had gone mad.

"Naru you know what will happen." Gene tried but, Naru cut him off.

"Mai do you trust me?"

"Always but."

"Then show me you do." He said it wasn't a demand no, he sounded like he was begging.

"You could die." I said knowing it was true.

"We are all going to die if we don't." He grounded out as the devil walked closer his eyes glowing red.

I nodded as I closed my eyes realizing I had no idea what I was doing.

"Don't over think it just clear your thoughts picture your energy flowing into me."

I felt hot and drowsy as my energy ebbed away.

"Play time is over." The Devil shouted as I clung to Naru's back my legs giving out.

"Mai hold on to me just a little longer." I nodded my head unable to speak.

I felt a hand lay on my shoulder and a fire seep into me it wasn't a painful feeling but, a calm loving feeling and I knew it was Gene.

I opened my eyes as I felt Naru shift his body to see a huge ball of swirling red, yellow and blue light flying toward a ball of darkness.

"She is mine." The devil yelled as the two balls of energy collided causing an explosion.

"What the? This can't be." I watched as the roses began to wilt and die as souls flew up toward the sky.

"You will not win." He yelled causing the ground to shake.

I would have lost my balance had it not been for Gene and Naru steadying me.

I was shoved to the ground by one of the twins as another ball came at us this one was smaller than the last.

"The flowers they are what gives him his power." Gene said as a few more faded away.

"You will die by my own hands." The devil said as he ran at us.


Watched in horror as Naru fought against the monster.

"Naru!" I yelled as he took a punch to the face.

"Mai Noll can hold his own we need to find the last rose." Gene said and I nodded as he helped me up off the ground.

"Hold on a little longer Naru." I said as I tore my eyes away from the fight to begin my search.

Gene and I moved about the land as we looked for the flower.

"I can't find it." I said feeling useless as Naru threw a punch that landed right on the Devils jaw.

"I will take you to Hell! He screeched as he wiped away some blood.

"Not if I send you there first." Naru retorted.

"Mai watch out!" Gene called as a vine wrapped around my ankle pulling me down.

"Mai!"

"Never take your eyes off your opponent." The Devil laughed as he landed a kick to Naru's stomach.

I watched in horror as Naru coughed up blood falling to one knee.

"Naru!" I cried watching him fall onto the ground.

"Pathetic human." He laughed walking over to me.

"You want her, you'll have to go through me." Gene said standing in front of me.

"And what can a ghost do to stop me?" He asked wrapping his boney white fingers around Gene's throat.

"Please stop." I begged unable to take them getting hurt because of me.

"I'll go with you, just please stop." I cried tears running down my face.

"Mai no." Gene gasped out as he dropped from the Devils grasp.

"Well it's about time you came to your senses." He smirked walking toward me.

I had to fight the urge to not flinch as he ran his finger across my cheek.

"At last I have what I came for." He laughed causing bile to rise in my throat.

"Mai what are doing?" Naru's weak voice called as he pulled himself to his feet unsteadily.

I watched as he came closer his crimson eyes shining brighter as he leaned down his hands painfully holding my arms.

I love you Naru I thought as my body grew hot.

"You stupid girl do you really think you could defeat me?" He laughed as the heat became unbearable my skin felt like it was on fire.

"Stop it what are you doing? This can't be." He cried as he tried to pull away in vain.

"You can rot in Hell!" I screamed pushing every last ounce of energy I had out of my body into his as he cried out in pain his skin melting leaving nothing but a pile of bones.

I felt the vine give way and fell hard into the ground as the bones turned to dust.

"Mai!" I heard Naru call as I felt the upper part of my body being lifted.

"We did it." I said my voice sounding weak I was so tired.

"You really are stupid." Naru said and I let out a weak laugh staring into his dirty face.

He was battered and bruised we all were but, I had no doubt that he would survive.

"Mai you have to keep your eyes open." Gene said as I shifted my eyes to him.

"Naru... I have… To tell you something." I said coughing as I tried to talk.

"You can tell me later." He said a hint of sadness in his voice.

"I..." I coughed again as blood dripped down my chin.

"I lo…"

"I know Mai." He said his voice breaking as I closed my eyes unable to keep them open any longer.


I awoke to the sound of a heart monitor flat lining and people in blue rushing down the hall with a defibrillator. I could hear sobbing on the other side of the room.

"Naru Its Mai." Lin said my blood ran cold as I stood up pulling the IV from my hand as I went.

"Noll there is nothing you can do let the doctors do their job." Lin said pushing me back into the room.

I knew I should listen to him but, my rational brain seemed to be shut off.

"We are losing her." I heard the male doctor say from down the hall.

"No Mai!" I howled as I fell to my knees ignoring the sting I felt as I hit the floor. I was going to lose her and there was nothing I could do.

Farewell for now.
