Case 2: Suppressed memories: part 5

They saw her lying on the floor limp, blood surrounding her body.

"Mai!" Naru yelled as he ran to her body. He dropped to his knees next to her his eyes wide in shock.

"Someone, call an ambulance!" Lin called out to the people behind him. Ayako checked Mai's pulse as Masako ran out of the room.

"Her pulse is there but it's really weak. We don't have much time left. The cuts aren't anywhere too severe but there's alot of them and they're quite deep so she's losing alot of blood." Lin, who had gotten up not too long ago, returned with some towels and Ayako took half helping him try to stop the bleeding. Masako returned with John and two paramedics, they were carrying a stretcher. After thy got her on they left the room, Naru following them as they took her away.

'You can't leave me Mai, I don't know what I'd do if you did.' Naru thought to himself as he sat next to her limp body in the ambulance.

"Mai!" She turned to see a man wearing a chef's jacket and holding a chef's hat walking towards a little girl sitting in front of a large mansion.

"Daddy!" The girl called out, it was Mai as a child. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She didn't remember ever visiting France as a child and her father worked for a construction company in japan. "Mommy!" The girl called out as well as she looked behind her dad to see Mai's mom walking up to her, a young man who looked to be in about his twenties stood from where he was sitting.

"Hello Mrs. and Mr. Taniyama, Mai was really good today. She's been learning her math really fast. It's getting late now, I must go." He said smiling.

"Thank you for looking after her William, we really appreciate it. If only we could spend more time with her..." Mrs. Taniyama said looking down at her daughter sadly.

"It's nothing really, she's such a great child. I don't mind." William responded as he started walking towards the gate. "Adieu!"

"Au revoir!" Mr. Taniyama said before walking inside with his wife and daughter. Everything went black after that and Mai looked around confused.

"What was that?" She asked herself.

"That was your family Mai." Gene said appearing before her. "I'm sorry you have to see all of this but I can't stop it and it'd be best if you knew anyway."

"Wait, what's going on?" Mai asked just as a new scene appeared before her. She looked around and found herself inside a restaurant, her father was standing in front of her.

"Hideki, can you watch this for me. I have to go get a few more ingredients." A man asked Mai's father, he left after receiving a nod from him. He continued what he was doing glancing at the other dish occasionally when it suddenly burst into flames. He was too close to it and the fire surrounded him, Mai's eyes widened as tears fell from her eyes. His scream was full of agony and she remembered living through this scene in her dream very well. As he fell to the ground the scene changed yet again, she looked around and saw a group of people in black. They were all standing in a clump surrounding something in a cemetery. As she made her way over she could see her younger self and her mother.

"We're leaving for Japan but I promise to come back for you soon honey," Mai could hear her mother mumble clearly. Over all the noise and even the rain, she could hear it loud and clear, like it was meant for her to hear it or something of the sorts.

"Mommy," said the younger version of herself, her eyes were blank and she stood there still by her mother's side. "Why are we here?"

"To say goodbye," and with that her mother turned around and left, taking Mai with her.

"Mai," she felt arms wrap around her.

"Gene," she whispered as the tears continued to fall down her face. She turned around crying in his chest.

"Mommy?" She heard a voice, her voice. Just a little bit older than before.

"Yes Mai?"

"Where's Daddy?"

"He's gone remember? He died while working on a building..." her mom paused for a moment.

"In Japan?"

"...Yes, in Japan."

"Mommy."

"Yes Mai?"

"I love you."

"I love you too. Goodbye." There were tears in her voice, Mai choked on a sob as Gene forced her to turn her head, she could see a car. It was her mother's car and it was driving awfully fast it continued until it ran right into a brick wall, Mai screamed clinging to Gene.

"I'm sorry, Mai." He said quietly. "It's time to wake up now, it's been a while and it seems you're able to now." Gene faded away as she began to feel a light ache all over her body as she tried to open her eyes.

"Mai?" She heard a voice and a hand squeezed hers. After attempting to say something and failing she squeezed back. "Mai, are you awake?" Tears began to fall from her eyes as she finally managed to open them. She found herself looking up at Naru, relief clear in his eyes as he smiled at her.

"N-naru?" She said quietly, her voice hoarse and scratchy, as he hugged her.

"Stupid. Don't scare me like that ever again." He whispered and she was just barely able to hear it.

After everyone had fussed over Mai they all sat in the room around her hospital bed. Mai kept glancing at Naru then would blush and look away.

"Are you okay Mai?" Bou-san asked smiling knowingly.

"Y-yes. I'm fine!" She said blushing even more. "So, uhmm, how long was I unconscious?"

"Three days." Masako muttered, Mai glanced over at her and, to her surprise, saw tears in Masako's eyes.

"They said you wouldn't make it." Naru said sighing. "You had lost alot of blood and there was almost no chance that you'd survive and that even if you did you may never wake up."

"The fact that you woke up in three days is practically a miracle. You are definitely stubborn...this will be the one time I'm grateful for that." Ayako said rolling her eyes.

"What'd you do about the ghosts though? You didn't exorcise them right?" Mai said panicking now that she believed she knew who they were. Naru just crossed his arms and looked away causing Mai's heart to sink. "You did?" She asked sadly.

"No, we didn't." Lin spoke up. Naru glared at him but he just shook it off. "Naru wanted to stay here and wait for you to wake up so we didn't want to do anything without him."

"We had to make sure he remembered to take care of himself too." Bou-san spoke up.

"Uhmmm, Bou-san?" Mai glanced at him with her eyebrow raised. Yasu shook his head furiously, he was standing right behind him, she assumed he was planning something.

"What?"

"Never mind." She laughed to herself, just as she did Yasu clung onto Bou-san's back.

"My loveeee~" He sang out, "I've missed you so much."

"What the hell! We've been together practically this whole time. Get off me!" Everyone burst into laughter except for Naru and Lin of course but after all that had happened Naru didn't really mind for once.

"I'm sorry to say this but what should we do about the ghosts," John, always the voice of reason, asked after a little while.

"It'd be best to exorcise them, after what has happened so far." Naru said.

"No!" Mai yelled. "We can't do that!"

"So, I take it you've found out who they are while you were asleep?" Naru asked. Mai nodded her eyes filling with tears again Lin got up to leave and Ayako and Masako followed. They dragged Bou-san and Yasu with them while John followed behind shutting the door as he left. "It's not safe though, they've already tried to kill you many times." He sighed running a hand through his hair.

"But...they're my parents. I don't want them to be exorcised...it's not fair." She complained. "What if I convince them to move on? They only want me to die because they want me to be with them again. Maybe I can do it though, since I'm their daughter."

"Mai, you don't understand." He pulled a seat next to her bed. "You almost died," Naru took in a deep breath and she watched him, sniffling. "I...I don't want that. I don't want to see you like that ever again." It was hard for him to say, it just wasn't like him, but he continued. "I admit that I was scared that I'd lose you, and so was the rest of the team. That's why I don't want you to do it."

"I do understand Naru but they're my family." She tried to hold back a sob. "T-they're my parents...and I can't just let this happen to them. No matter what they've done...I promise you, I can convince them to stop. If you just let me do it, I promise that I won't follow them, I'll come back to you guys." Naru pinched the bridge of his nose as he closed his eyes in annoyance.

"Fine, just be careful."

"Of course!" She smiled up at him. "Thank you Naru!"

"I hope you know what you're doing." he mumbled.

"I do, they're my parents after all and I remember everything now. I have to do this, to protect everyone else."
