Okay people, thanks for the reviews.
Now...
I did make a mistake with the age in the last chapter, I meant to say they were 8. Oops, sorry.
PerfectMisfit
1. I know this focuses a lot on Kairu and Koyuki. But hello, the title is called GHOST HUNT GX, ya know? As in the NEXT generation? I think that gives a bit about the fact that IT'LL FOCUS ON THE NEXT GENERATION.
2. I also know that Kairu and Koyuki are waaaaay to intelligent for 8 year olds. I did it so you could clearly see that they took after their father (who was a genius). I like to believe that it could pass as believable, I mean, Mai's been encouraging their intelligence, not hindering it.
Their vocabulary...they read Sherlock Holmes for gods sake, I'm pretty sure they picked it up and asked Mai what it meant along the way.
And what is wrong with their names? Weird, you say? I don't see a problem with it. Kairu means Black One or Dark one and Koyuki means Snow Child. They have midnight blue hair (almost black) and deep blue eyes. And they are pale and it contrasts with their hair and eyes. I don't think it's weird at all.
3. I also think you underestimate the thought patterns and abilities of an 8 year old. When they make tea, they can. I was making coffee's when I was 7 because MY parents trusted me and watched me time after time, teaching me how to do it properly. Not to mention their own PKLAT, which allows them to make the tea, without having to be near the kitchen. Which comes to my next subject;
4. Their powers. With Mai's vast abilites and Naru's combined, I foresaw the strength of these twins. And you never know, maybe Gene was giving them some pointers in the spiritual world. I do see where you come from when they have amazing control over their powers when they physically haven't trained, and i agree, error on my planning. But it's a fanfiction and everything is made up, I'm here to have fun and so is everyone else reading. Also, I believe children have the capability to go beyond what we'd ever expect because they tend to have no sense in limits.
I remember when I'd climb towering trees with ease and no regard for my own safety and limit. As you get older, you become more aware of those dangers and thus, hold back. Do you get what I mean?
5. Keiko. I know what you're talking about and maybe if you'd be patient and wait, you'd see I planned everything already. Chill and wait for it.
6. Mai being a singer and her english...she could have been taught in school. America, why not? Every aspiring music artist heads there to reach their dreams. We don't know what her singing was like, so how do you know whether she could be a professional singer or not?
Air-headed and clumsy...being a mother could change all of that. She'd be forced to focus instead of letting her mind drift and she'd be cautious with her children. She was pushed to grow up and she did.
As for resources, Jessica. She made friends with an agent unknowingly and WALA, she's rising to the top.
It can't be that hard. One Direction (I hate them...) won X Factor (I think?) and suddenly, they're the best. Maybe that's all it would take in Japan. You never know, which is the point of fanFICTION.
7. My writing.
I'm not a professional writer, nor have I ever claimed to be. I write stories for the stories, not the literature. If you don't like the way I write, please, just don't read it then. I know I do that when I find stories written in a way I don't like. I understand. But to call it bland and the story boring, how can you not expect me to get offended?
The romaji, I forgot about it. Most of these stories I don't tend to put online and I like putting Japanese in there, and no, I am not trying to seem as if I am more of a fan of anime or whatever. I put it in there because I felt it would be better to use it then the english definition.
Amare
I'd like to apologise. I didn't mean to go off. Sorry :( Here, have a chapter.
With that said, no flames. I swear to god, no flames. If you don't like, then JESUS DONT READ!
But thanks to everyone else that reviewed. I'm sorry it's taken a while. I've just been really out of it, lately. Depression sucks.
I know I've been shitting on Naru and I'm sorry for that. I didn't mean to make him so much of an asshole but I needed him to be. As for the pairing, I don't know anymore...wait and see.
"Almost, Kairu," Mai praised as Kairu groaned.
"Kaa-san, this sucks," Kairu complained.
Koyuki giggled from beside him.
"What are you laughing at? You haven't done any better!"
"You're pouting," Mai stated.
"Am not!"
"Mai."
Turning, Mai spotted Ayako with a tray of tea.
"Ayako, thank you," Mai smiled.
Ayako returned her smile and placed the tea tray on the coffee table before joining them on the floor.
"How is the barrier going?" Mai asked.
"It's holding. No problems at all," she answered, proud of her work.
They heard a yelp and turned to see Kairu and Koyuki rolling around on the ground, trying to best the other. Mai looked at them with affection while Ayako laughed elegantly.
"They sure are lively..."
Both women turned to see Lin enter with Daichi. Koyuki gasped upon seeing the baby and jumped up.
"Dai-kun!" She cooed and was standing before Lin, waiting for him to place Daichi down.
Lin chuckled and obliged by her wishes. Daichi was more then happy to play and he showed it with his one-tooth smile. He had gotten bigger, Mai realised.
"Oh, Lin! I was wondering if you knew what this was," Mai spoke as she pulled out her drawing earlier of the voodoo type doll.
Lin took a look at it and then looked back at Mai with wide eyes.
"What's wrong?" Ayako asked.
"This isn't a voodoo doll, exactly. It has the same meaning as one, though it doesn't cause physical pain."
"Then what does it do?" Ayako asked.
"Sends a demon or negative entity after the person the doll is meant to represent."
Mai and Ayako gasped.
"I believe your ghost girl is no ghost at all. It's a demon."
"H-How do we get rid of it?" Mai asked.
"We have to find the doll and burn it."
"Won't I go up in flames?" Mai asked, skeptically.
Lin shook his head. "No, Mai. Like I said, the doll isn't meant to bring physical pain to it's intended target, but to terrorise them with it's summoning?"
"Because that's so much better," Mai muttered.
"You should sleep, Mai," Ayako spoke up. "Perhaps Gene will show you where the doll is and who the person is that wants you...dead? Maimed?"
"Stop...please," Mai said, holding up a hand. "I'll do it."
Laying her head down, she sent a prayer to Gene, hoping to see him on the other side.
Mai looked around and saw darkness around her with glowing blue orbs.
"Gene?" Mai called.
She spotted an orb, brighter then the rest and followed it. Soon, she was standing in someone's room. It looked really familiar.
The door opened and a younger Keiko and Naru entered. The moment Naru closed the doors, the two started to kiss heatedly.
Mai averted her eyes.
"I don't want to watch this, Gene," Mai whispered.
She heard the ruffles of clothes and heard a breathy sigh.
"Oh my god," Mai groaned. "Why are you doing this, Gene?"
"Ah! Gene..."
Mai's head snapped back to them.
"Gene?" She asked and blushed at the compromising position she found them in.
She averted her eyes again but she couldn't block out the sounds. She couldn't help but hear the moans and sighs, the groans and grunts the two made before they both reached their peak. She knew this because of the god forsaken sounds.
Sneaking a peak, she let out a relieved sigh when she saw Gene's pants done up and Keiko's panties in place and her skirt down. They now rested on the bed, covered in sweat.
"I...love you, Gene," Keiko whispered, clinging to Gene as if her life depended on it. "More then anything in the world..."
Gene smiled as he caressed her cheek. He kissed her slow and tenderly, looking at her with so much tenderness and love.
"And I love you, Ko-chan," he confessed.
Seeing them together, she saw them so happy. Keiko looked nothing like the horrid bitch Mai knew her to be and Gene looked content where he was.
"Stay with me always?" Keiko asked.
"Always."
He caressed the red and orange jewelled clip in her hair, the clip he gave her earlier that day.
The imaged became distorted, as if it were a static TV before she was in a different room, the room that had the voodoo doll and demon summoning. Looking back at the desk, it stayed the same but on the vanity table, the orange red clip was gone.
Mai shot up and looked around. She was on the lounge room couch.
"Mai, what is it? Did you have one of your dreams?" Lin asked.
Mai quickly stood before running out.
"Mai!" Lin called and ran after her with the others.
"Which room is Keiko's?" Mai asked.
"She doesn't have her own room," Lin informed. "She stays in Gene's."
"Take me to it."
Lin nodded and started leading the way. Once they had reached the top of the stairs, Mai was thrown away by some invisible force and down the stairs.
"Kaa-san!" Her twins cried out but caught her with their psychokinesis.
Between Lin and the others, appeared the ghost girl that had been haunting the Taniyama family.
Kairu and Koyuki's eyes widened in fright before they two were thrown back. The twins tumbled down the stairs.
"Oh my god!" Ayako gasped in horror as she ran to them.
Houshou ran to Ayako and the children and put up his barrier. John grabbed Mai that had fallen the one foot off the ground, not too high thanks to her children and pushed Masako into the barrier with him.
"Are they okay?" Masako asked worriedly.
Ayako calmed down enough to evaluate their injuries. Kairu had split open his head at the back of his head that was bleeding profusely while Koyuki had broken her arm and leg from the fall. Both were unconscious.
"They need medical treatment, immediately," Ayako bit out.
As soon as the three had rolled down the stairs, Lin had wasted no time in sending his Shiki after the demon.
"L-Lin!" Mai called, only winded from her tumble. "Get to Gene's room and look for the doll. It's there, I know it is!"
Lin nodded and ran down the hallways before stopping outside his desired locations door. Opening it, his eyes immediately found the doll on the desk. As he reached it, his Shiki called out to him, warning that the demon had disappeared, away from them.
Grabbing the doll, he ran out of the room, heading for the fireplace in the family room. Unfortunately, he was pushed up against the wall before the stairs and held off the ground by the demon girl's hand around his throat. Clutching the doll while trying to release the girl's hold on him proved futile. Panicking eyes looked to the left where he spotted someone just passed the barrier. With the last of his dwindling strength and consciousness, he threw it to them.
"In the fire," he wheezed out.
Everyone turned to see Naru holding the doll. He didn't spare them a glance as he turned and ran for the family room fireplace. As demon followed, John blocked it's path, flicking holy water all over it. Ayako followed with her nine cuts. Mai pulled herself off the ground.
"Protect them with your life," she ordered of Houshou before running after Naru.
Still, the demon managed to get passed John and Ayako and for Naru. Naru ran into the family room and held back a groan when he saw the fireplace was out. Moving to it, he turned on the gas and looked around for the lighter.
"Shit!" He cursed to himself.
"Naru, look out!"
Turning around, he came face to face with the demon that threw him across the room. As he landed, he found himself pinned to the wall by the family room furniture that had slammed themselves against his legs and lower torso. He grunted in pain and dropped the doll. As the demon was preoccupied with Naru, Mai came into Naru's line of vision, holding her shoulder that had been dislocated.
He used his eyes to show her the doll and he saw her nod. The demon got right up into Naru's face and opened her mouth. A cold feeling came over him, as if all the warmth in his body was being sucked out of him. He struggled against the furniture but he was losing his energy -his soul- every milisecond.
Mai watched in horror as Naru turned bluish grey before her eyes, as if frost bitten. She moved to the fireplace and grabbed the poker. She drove it into the doll, hoping it would be just as good.
It only gained a reaction and acknowledgement from the demon girl. Letting Naru go, the demon moved to Mai, angry. She continuously stabbed the doll but it did little to nothing, noting the slight falter in her step.
"The fire!" Naru gasped for breath, collapsing against the furniture.
Mai threw the doll in the fireplace and moved, narrowly missing the sharp claws of the demon. Swinging with the poker, she grew frustrated when it only went through her.
"Why won't you die already!?" Mai screamed at the demon.
Looking at the fireplace, she noticed the gas was still turned on.
"Stuff it," she hissed before slashing at the bricks making up the fireplace with the metal rod.
Sparks flew and the house was rocked by a small explosion.
