Hey guys, HAPPY SPRING BREAK... that is if your on spring break =). Well I want to thank everyone who stayed with me through that hard spot and commented THANK YOU SO MUCH. Just to let you guys all know (Because I don't think I ever did this) I DO NOT OWN GHOST HUNT-or any of its characters- unfortunately. *Sigh* -_- . Well here is the next chappy hope it's what you hoped it would be. =D.
Dia was now sitting up with a cup of tea in his hands the steam raising past his face. Mai watched him closely looking for anything that would make it seem like he was possessed still. But he looked calm and collected and she didn't have the fleeting urge to run away from him anymore. They were all now waiting for him to tell them about his great-great-grandfather.
"The reason you guys are having trouble finding anything on him or the house was because he was in a sense a very recluse man. Though I say in a sense because the business he worked in the house wasn't anything in that entirety. You see this house use to be a Brothel more commonly known now in days as a whore-house." He stopped and surveyed the group, the leader of the group and his tall assistant seemed dull to the subject, but deep in their eyes you could see disgust. The women of the group and his wife had pale faces also showing their own disgusted looks the youngest of them all had her hand up to mouth her eyes wide with horror. The rest of the men had about the same thing. "Now I'm sure your wondering how it stayed so close lipped over the years, well only an amount few could get in even then though they would have a slip up. It was kept very hidden an people who knew my great-great-grandfather knew his take on women. He was very cruel with them and always let them know what he thought of them. If they even thought of going against him they were punished." The team had took on face of horror and distrust as if they couldn't believe what he was saying.
"I'm guessing you believe that he is the one haunting the house." Naru gave him sharp look.
"I don't believe I know for a fact seeing as he was the one that possessed me." The group looked on stunned that Dia even knew he was possessed let alone the one who possessed him.
"How do you know for sure?" Naru from the beginning figure that Kin was the one who possessed Dia but didn't really have strong enough evidence except for the fact that the personalty's matched.
"I had met Kin once before he died and I swore to myself I would never forget his voice seeing as it happened make me scared at night as a child. He just had one of those voice that drained all the happiness from, that made you feel like you were alone in the world. And while I was possessed I heard that voice." Dia took another sip of his tea breathing in the calming sent of tea leaves and honey. The people around him watching him, calculating if he was going to become possessed again. He would have been lying if he told himself that he didn't think it was going to happen again. He put his tea down and looked up at the group. "Any other questions?"
"Yes, is your son possessed to?" Dia's face took on a grim one as he spoke. Answering Yasu question which buzzed around most of their minds.
"Yes." It was quick and short but Mai knew that there was a lot of emotion laced threw it. She then shot out her own question.
"But how is that possible he's only one ghost how could he posses two people at once?" Dia looked down at his hands his grim face getting grimmer with the lingering question that he didn't know the answer to.
"Because Mai he is not really possessing them he is just being very persuasive." Naru spoke as if from experience. His eyebrows were brought together in thought and then it clicked like a light bulb going on over his head. He remembered earlier when him and Mai got into that fight. "By any chance did you and your wife get into a fight of sorts before you became possessed."
Dia looked up confused not remembering the night he got possessed. "Yes." The voice came from Dia's side. Everyone looked to Io, Naru sent her a questioning gaze. He then went on asking routine questions.
Through out this Mai sat quietly trying to think about how Naru had talked to her only minutes ago. Though he seemed to direct the comment to her it wasn't like he was talking to her. His voice which was usually had some amusement to it when correcting her had been void of any such feeling. He hadn't made a snide comment about her being an idiot for not knowing the answer. Well duh Mai that wasn't an easy answer. But a fleeting feeling went through her gut telling her that, that wasn't it. Usually even if it is hard to answer he still calls me an idiot.
Her heart clenched for some reason, but she ignored it going over the thought again trying to find something logical, which mind you wasn't easy for a tired brain.
"-i...-ai...Mai..Mai." She blinked and looked for the source of the voice calling her name. Her eye's coming in contact with amused murky brown eyes.
"M-Monk." she said jumping slightly with their close proximity.
"Hey, what's up you looked like your head was up in the clouds." He had an inviting smile on his face. Mai sent him small forced smile shaking her head.
"I'm fine Monk just a little tired." She waited for it, she waited for the snide comment about how she shouldn't be tired because she slept all the time only in so many words. Her eyes watched him waiting for him to lift his head an say something about her gawking at him, but her gaze was broken when a hand waved in front of her face. She snapped her head to the body the hand was connected to. Monk was once again staring at her this time in concern though.
Mai sent him a forced smile. "I think I'm gonna go to bed now." Mai stood up and opened door, pausing waiting for Naru to say the magical words 'Mai, tea', but it never came so she shoved the door open and flew out it making her way to the girls room. Once she got there she slammed the door shut an slid down it putting her head in hands and for the second time in the past few day she cried over a guy only this time she loved this one.
The team save Naru, stared at the door in worry. None could sum up a reason why she would just run out the door like that. A few sent Naru a fleeting glance but got nothing more than seeing their boss do paper work. What confuse them more was that Naru hadn't stopped her from leaving the base nor had he made a snide comment.
Most took it as a miracle of sorts that maybe he was just in a good mood, Lin on the other hand stared at his young ward with a knowing glance. Something happened between them and it doesn't look good. The thought fled his mind though deciding that for now he would min his business but if worst came to worst he would give Noll a talking to, that or if he didn't listen would call his parents. Lin sighed as he looked away from him getting the distinct feeling that by the end of this case things were going to change for a little while.
Mai opened her eyes to be met by a dark area with glowing orbs floating around her. The place clicked instantly, it had been the place were she had first met Gene and where she often met him. Her eyes traveled around until they landed on a approaching figure his body shape very closely resembling her bosses. When Gene's face came in clearer she smiled and made a mad dash for him. Her arms wounded around his waist Gene's own arms wouned around Mai. And then Mai started to cry.
"W-what's wrong with h-him Gene." He rubbed her back cooing her.
"He's just being cautious Mai." He pause looking down at her shaking form. "He's scared to hurt you." She chuckled.
"To late for that now, huh." She tired to joke.
"Don't worry he'll come around he's just being stubborn. Don't let that idiot scientist bring you down." She smiled and giggled backing up so she could look into his eyes. They were a different color than Naru's, though most wouldn't notice it Naru's eyes were a dark midnight blue that sapphires couldn't even compare. Gene's on the other hand were more of a dark ocean blue and were more playful than Naru's, they always had a smile in them and a sweet joke. She sighed knowing they weren't here to trade pleasantries.
"So what do you need to show me?" Her question broke the playful silence filling it with a morbid reminder that things weren't safe.
He waved his hand not even bothering to answer her. A room can into focus it was painted a passionate red color, small gold designs laced across it. Other than its beautiful color there wasn't much, only a four post bed that had gold wispy drapes hanging from the ceiling covering the bed in a gold canopy. Its covers were more of a blood red color and looked like liquid silk making Mai gag slightly in disgust seeing as the bed looked more like it was covered in blood than the fabulous fabric.
"Though Kin slept around with many of the women here he had one favorite." Gene's grim voice broke Mai from her gawking making her spine shiver.
"Who?" Her voice was barely above a whisper barely cutting through the stifling silence. Gene only pushed her forward towards the bed where Mai could see a hazed out petite figure lying on the bed barely moving.
Mai moved back some of the draping widening her eyes at the girl chained to the bed. Mai felt like she was looking into a slightly distorted mirror showing her a twisted image of her self. The girl had long honey locks that would be just like Mai's if they were that long. Her cinnamon eyes mirrored Mai's other than holding a look of nothingness. Her face slightly more bony from lack of food and had a scar running down the right side of her face, going from her temple to just above the corner of her lip. Mai was just about to voice her opinion when she felt like she couldn't breathe. She let the drapes slip from her hands and her knees clasped under her.
"Mai!" Gene sent her a worried look that then turned panicked when he got a flash of her sleeping figure.
"Mai I need you to wake up and scream as loud as you can." Mai breathed in a short breathe of air smuggled in air.
"Gene, what's going on your scaring me." He just shook his head and grabbed Mai's head with both hands making her look into his eyes. All she saw next was a bright flash of light and then she was in the girls room again an usually cool wind coming over her chest and an odd pressure on her body. Mai looked up to find the son of the Io and Dia on top of her his eyes a blood red color the same as the sheets in the room in her dreams. He smirked down at her and then leaned down to kiss her neck feeling his chest touch her own, skin touching skin, it then hit her that her button down bed shirt had been ripped open. Then finally a scream tore from her lips.
"AYAKO...MASAKO." The son only laughed, she just now while she was screaming remembered his name-Baku.
"Yell all you want Mika, nobody will hear you." She stiffened at hearing the name, the girl from her dreams popping into her head Gene's words reverberating in her mind. 'Though Kin slept around with many of the women here he had one favorite.'
A scream again torn from her lips as she shook and struggled under the possessed teenager. He laid kisses down her neck making her try to worm away from Baku. His hands moved from her shoulders to her chest where he took a hold of her bra and just as he was about to rip it off the door opened Monk running to Mai's side. He ripped Baku off Mai sending him to the ground, Lin and John then came in and grabbed Baku tying his hands behind his back.
Monk then slowly walked over to Mai and grim look on his face. He went to reach for her, but instead she jumped into his arms spilling her tears on to his white night shirt. Monk laced his arms around her tightly rocking her back and forth cooing words on safety into her ear. Mai looked up from his shirt slightly and looked over his shoulder where Lin and John where pulling a unconscious Baku from the room. She then looked to the door where Naru was leaning against the door frame. But when their eyes connected he walked away not giving her a fleeting glance of concern.
Her heart dropped making it seem almost hard to breathe, her eyes started to cloud over and she felt her chest start to heave. The voices around her seemed to blur together, she was only able to catch pieces.
"Mai..." "She's..shock...move away."
And then her whole world went cold and black.
