THANKYOU TO ALL WHO REVIEWED!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Hunt.

(A/N: So summer has finally started for me! Yay! I don't know my chapter posting schedule yet, but I imagine it'll be pretty random.)

Gene's POV

It was night once again. I stood at my usual spot upstairs waiting for Megan to come and give one of her reports. I've been waiting for a while, much longer than usual, and was about to call it a night when a stoic figure appeared before me. It was Lin.

"Where is Meg?" I asked him.

"Tonight Noll is the one sleeping in the girls' room. Megan couldn't come because Noll would have definitely notice her sneaking away, so I came here instead." Stated Lin.

"Ah, I see." I said feeling slightly disappointed. After all, I have been used to seeing Megan practically every day for past few years.

"I assume you want a report on what we found in the hidden room?" Lin asked bringing my attention back to him.

"Oh yeah! What did you guys find?" I said with eagerness.

"The room was filled with crates containing bottles of wine. We believe it's just a wine cellar." Lin explained.

"That's impossible! I am certain the presence of the victims were in there! Are you sure you checked all the crates?" I questioned. This wasn't right, I was certain they would find some sort of remains in there. My powers never let me down before, so why suddenly now?

"We looked in every crate and didn't find anything out of the ordinary- not even a single drop of blood." He confirmed.

"What are you guys planning to do now?" I asked after a moment of silence.

"What else can we do, but wait? Though Noll is starting to become very annoyed at our lack of progress." Lin sighed.

I sighed as well. "I guess I have no choice then."

"And what does that mean?" Lin inquired.

"You will understand in the morning." I said as I walked away.

Lin's POV

I stood curiously as Gene walked away. What is he going to do? I then looked out the window to see the dark sky covered with even darker clouds. I sighed to myself, "It looks like a storm is coming…"

Mai's POV

I repositioned myself in my sleeping bag trying to get comfortable. I don't know why, but for some reason I feel really uncomfortable and because of that I can't sleep. Suddenly, I heard this faint beeping noise coming from my duffel bag. It must be my cell phone. I guess I forgot to turn it off…

I quietly sat up and opened my duffel bag and took out my phone. Then I quickly buried myself in my sleeping bag to hide the light my phone is giving off so I don't wake someone up. The first thing I did was put my cell phone on silent so it also wouldn't disturb anyone. Next I looked at my messages and missed calls to see why it went off. I had a new text messages. But you would message me at this hour? I looked at the caller ID to find it was from Ayako. Wait what?

I peeked out from beneath my sleeping bag to see that she too was covered with her sleep bag. Is she messaging me now or was the arrival of the message delayed? But why message me when I have been with her all day? More importantly, I thought the reception here sucks! I looked at my cell to see it only has one bar out of five (it represents how good the reception is- one bar being bad and five bars being excellent). I guess I got a lucky connection then even if it's not that good.

I opened the text message and read its contents:

'I am the only getting uncomfortable vibes from Naru?'

I replied:

'No I am too. I knew this was going to be uncomfortable, but not like this! It's so awkward!'

There was a reply within seconds:

'Oh good. So I am not getting paranoid. But what you expect? He obviously doesn't want to be here….'

I smiled and replied:

'You're right. It's completely out of his character to do something like this…I wonder why he is…'

A moment later, I received a reply:

"True, something like this does hurt his ego, but his ego is so enormous so that in the long run it really doesn't matter.' I giggled at that part and continued to read. 'It obvious isn't it? He is not doing it for us, he is doing it for you! : p'

Too consumed in embarrassment, I forgot about everything else, except for telling Ayako that wasn't true. I abruptly sat up, "Ayako, that's not t-!"

I stopped when I noticed a dark figure standing over me. Lightning flashed outside, causing the figure's face to light up. It was perhaps the most frightening thing I had seen so far on this case. If I didn't know better I'd say it was a ghost. From the corner, I saw Ayako peeking out of her sleeping bag to see what was going on. Once she saw, she gave an "Eep!" and retreated back into her sleeping.

His hair was slightly messy and the annoyance shown in his eyes were apparent. Naru crossed his arms and glared. "Go to sleep!" He said venomously.

I gulped and nodded. "Y-yes, sir!"

Naru stalked off to the other side of the room where his sleeping bag was. I guess he was awake after all….

I plopped back down in my sleeping bag, turned off my cell phone and did as I was told. Though it was hard to fall asleep, because now not only the tense atmosphere Naru was making kept me awake, but now all the thunder was too. But I guess I did eventually fall asleep because the next thing I knew I was standing in a never ending darkness.

I looked around, "If I am having one of those dreams again, then that means…" I trailed off as I looked for him. When I spotted Gene, I ran to him. I grinned, "Hey, Gene! What's-"

I stopped when I noticed his worried expression. "What's going on?" I asked now getting worried myself.

"I'm sorry, I am afraid I have to show you something." He announced.

A little confused I replied, "Oh, okay. But why are you apologizing?"

"Because you're about to see something that might be very gruesome. I have been preventing you from seeing it because of that." Gene said solemnly.

"Well, I am sure I can handle it." I smiled once again.

Gene's POV

"Alright then…" I replied still unsure whether I should let her see this. Actually, I am surprised Igarashi isn't blocking either of our powers like before. I couldn't help but feel uneasy about this. Something wasn't right….. Actually, I was kind of hoping Igarashi would interfere so I wouldn't have to let Mai see it. Still, I have to. The case isn't progressing much and I can feel the spirits beginning to stir indicating they're about to do something. Right now, there are no other options.

The images began to form and Mai walked closer to watch them. I felt bad about the horror Mai is about to experience….

But wait, didn't Lin say Noll was sleeping in the girls' room tonight? I smiled mischievously, maybe this won't be so bad after all…

Mai's POV

I carefully watched the images as they came into focus. I then saw some familiar surroundings- well somewhat similar surroundings. I believe it was one of the rooms downstairs- there are so many it is hard to tell which. The only difference was that the contents of the room had more of a traditional Japanese style to it.

I saw a girl- probably in her late teens. She wore probably the most beautiful yukata I had ever seen. However she looked frightened. It was then that I noticed that Igarashi was standing in front of her looking incredibly angry. He grabbed and pinned her against the wall. He started to pull her yukata up and-

I didn't want to look anymore! A covered my teary eyes and tried to block out the noise. I heard screaming then choking, and then it was silent.

I heard Gene walk up behind and put a hand on my shoulder. He removed my hands from my eyes despite me fighting to keep them there. "It's okay to look now, Mai." He said gently.

I slowly brought my gaze back to the images. Igarashi was now walking down a hall carrying the girl's now lifeless body. He stopped at a door- a door I recognized- and opened it to reveal the wine cellar. He walked down the few steps and made his way to a crate that was against a far wall. Using his foot, he pushed it aside to reveal a hole large enough for a person to go through. The was also a ladder leading down into that whole.

I couldn't help but look at the lifeless eyes of the girl. It was just so horrible! I didn't want to see anymore! "Gene…I want to wake up now…" I could feel myself beginning to cry.

"Then do so." He gave a soft smile and patted my pack. He looked back to the image and quietly mumbled to himself- though I could hear it, "I think I found the answer I was looking for."

I was too upset to even wonder what he meant by that.

Megan's POV

It was the middle of the night when I was suddenly awakened. Mai had abruptly sat up and started sobbing hysterically waking everyone up in the room.

Surprisingly, Noll was the first to appear at Mai's side. "Mai, what happened?"

"My dream… Igarashi-! It's horrible!" She said between sobs.

Noll didn't question her any further knowing he wouldn't be able to get any information out of her as of now. What he did instead surprised me. He embraced her and silently let her sob into his chest.

What surprised my even more, was that no one seemed to notice his sudden affection. Everyone was too concerned about Mai to notice, including Masako. Mai was too upset to notice Noll's affection and frankly I don't think Noll was aware of what he was doing right now.

I smirked, this is proof that Noll has feeling for Mai. I am sure Gene would be extremely happy to hear about this, though I don't think he would be too surprised. After all, no matter how hard Noll tries to hide it, we all know how he feels about Mai. Then I looked at Masako, well maybe not all of us.

Next morning we were all in the living room. Mai was still too shook up from last night to talk about her dream. I was worried for her, she seemed pretty upset. Ayako informed me this happens all the time though. Considering Igarashi's history, I can only imagine what she saw. There was no doubt in my mind that Gene was there with her in her dream, how could he allow Mai- well anyone in that matter to see something so vulgar? I guess I will have to have a talk with him.

Ayako sighed and placed a large deck of paper charms on the coffee table. "Ok, I am done!" She said exasperated. "Why do you need so many charms anyway?" She asked Noll.

"They might come in handy." He said simply.

"Wait so you're saying I did all that work just because it might come in handy?" Ayako said getting ticked off.

Everyone was stressed because the case wasn't progressing at all. Before I knew it, everyone was fighting about what to do. There were only three people that weren't fighting. The first was Lin, who was watching the argument solemnly. The next was John, who was trying to calm everyone down. Last but not least was Yasu-san, he ignored what was going on and hummed while fiddling with his flashlight.

If this wasn't an opportunity to slip away and go see Gene, I don't what is. Quietly I backed out of the room and through the archway. But just as I stepped out of the living room, the entire living room started to shake! All conversation stopped and everyone hopped to their feet. Suddenly the living room floor turned black and they all fell through it as they screamed. It was like the entire floor disappeared!

The shaking stopped, the floor returned to normal, silence filled the room, and I was alone.

(A/N: And so we have reached the climax of our story.)

Megan: Where…where did everyone go!

*silence*

Megan: Hello…? * sees no one there*

Megan: I hope they are all right…

Gene: *randomly pops out of nowhere* I am sure they're fine!

Megan: What are going to do?

Gene: Well, if people would please REVIEW then we will definitely figure it out!
