Hello everyone.
This chapter will be mostly on our favourite couple. Naru and Mai. Including the gang.
Enjoy.
Naru sat at his desk in his office going over old case files when Mai knocked on the door and said, "Naru, client." "I'll be right out."
Naru put the file he was reading down and exited his office and into the main office. Lin came out with his laptop and Mai went in to the kitchen to make tea.
A minute later she came out with a tray and four hot mugs. "Here you go." She said with a polite smile. The man smiled at her and said as he reached for the mug she handed him, "thank you."
"Yaishou-san, can you tell me why you believe you house is haunted?" Naru said, picking up his mug.
"Well these figures appeared in my daughter's bedroom, they attacked her and her brother and my wife. They would appear then attack then vanish in to thin air. I want to know who they are and why are they doing this." The man paused to take a deep breath.
Naru tapped his pen against his mouth in thought. "We'll come with you right now." He said.
"You will?" Yaishou-san asked with pure shock.
Mai and Lin looked at him with shock as well. "We will?" Mai asked.
Naru nodded. "I too have a family and I don't want to think about a spirit attacking them."
"You have a family?" Yaishou-san asked.
Naru nodded. "Mai, is my wife and we have three children, two boys and a girl."
"How old are they?"
"Our daughter is eighteen, our twin boys are twelve."
"Everyone in SPR have families." Mai said. Lin nodded.
"Get your family and take them to a hotel. SPR will cover the room. We will be there in a hour or two."
Yaishou-san nodded and stood up, shook their hands, gave Mai his address and directions to get there and left the office.
"I'll give everyone a call." Mai said and went to her desk. She called everyone, then called her father and asked him if he could look after the boys.
Soon everyone was at the haunted house. The picked a room for the cameras and took temperatures of each room. Every room in the house except the base (library) was cold. Then Mai and Masako went through the house.
When they came back Naru asked, "anything?"
"Hatred, pain, anger, sadness, betrayal, hurt, death." Mai mumbled, shivering as she hid her face in her husband's chest. Naru wrapped his arms around her and turned to Masako.
"There are so many spirits there. Too many to count. Some are friendly some are not. I suggest we help them out first then the unfriendly spirits." Masako said.
Naru nodded. "Where are the friendly spirits?" He asked.
"In the living room. They are scared of the mean spirits."
Naru nodded again then turned to John who nodded. He was about to leave when Mai said, "let me."
John nodded and followed Mai to the door when Naru called out, "be careful Mai." Mai smiled and nodded then left.
Naru watched the priest and his wife walk in to the living room through the monitors. Naru turned the volume up.
"Is there any one willing or wants to talk to me?" Mai called out to what seems like a normal room.
There was nothing but silence.
"Listen, we only want to help you. We won't harm you." Mai called out again. Nothing happened for a long time. But then a little girl appeared. She had brown hair and green eyes. She looked like she was only six or seven years old.
Mai smiled a friendly smile and said in a whisper, "hello, my name is Mai, what's your name?"
"Sakura" the girl replied in a whisper.
"How old are you?"
"Seven. Have you seen my mummy and daddy?"
Mai shook her head so did John when the ghost girl looked at him. The girl started to cry.
"I'm sorry, maybe they are looking for you as well."
That cheered the girl up a little.
"I'm sorry for asking you this, it might bring back some bad memories that you might not want to remember. Do you remember how you died?" Mai asked in a gentle voice.
"The house caught fire. And I couldn't get out and..." The girl couldn't continue. Mai nodded her head. "I understand."
Naru turned to Lin. "Can you any information on fired back in the late eighteen hundreds?"
Lin nodded and went to his computer. A few minutes later he found what he was looking for. "A family died in a fire in eighteen thirty. It was deliberately lit. The people or person wasn't caught. Although there was another body in the fire. There was a mother, a father, a daughter and a another body who the police at that time thought that the other body was a another family member. Mai, ask the girl if she had a uncle or an older brother or cousin."
Mai nodded, "Sakura, do you remember if you have a older brother or a Uncle, or a cousin?"
Sakura frowned in thought then shook her head. "I have to find my mummy and daddy."
"We will help you look." John said with a bright smile. The girl smiled and then vanished. Mai and John went up stairs to the main bedroom.
Mai looked around. "Naru, the parents are here but they are trapped. I can help them."
"No Mai."
"Naru, I can do this just trust me."
Naru sighed. If he argued with her he might end up sleeping on the couch.
"Brown-san, watch her like a hawk." Naru ordered the priest who nodded.
Mai walked towards the the parents of Sakura. "Where is our daughter?" the man asked when they looked at her.
"In the living room. We are here to help you find her and help you move in to the light." John replied.
The woman must've seen the white collar because she went right up to John. "Help us please. There are mean people here they intend to do harm to every one and everything."
"I will set them on their way but first we have to get you to your daughter."
Then a gush of cold air ran through the room. The woman gasped, "they are here." She whispered.
"Go to the living room we hold them off. Can you get to the living room?" Mai said standing up
The parents nodded and vanished. The mean spirits came at them. They looked like they had torn cloaks on. And when they got closer. Mai and John saw that they had no faces. They were demons. John pulled out a cross out from his coat then a bible.
"Heavenly father, send these demons back to where they belong. Send them to the friary pits of hell where they belong. Send them to the devil for punishment Now!" John threw holy water at the demons who stopped and hissed as they tugged on their cloak like thing.
"Go, stop terrorising these spirits and the living. God commands you to leave this place and never return."
The demons didn't put up mush of a fight. They flew down a corridor and down in to the basement. Ayako and Bou-san raced down there and destroyed the portal.
The main bedroom was back to it's normal temperature. Mai and John smiled at each other then they remembered the little family. They ran back down in to the living room just in time to see the family go in to the light.
The little girl stopped, turned around and smiled and waved at Mai and John who waved back. Then when the family went in to the light many others followed.
Mai closed her eyes at the happiness she felt. It was pure happiness and relief. The light itself was beautiful and bright. It feels good to help the lost souls. Mai thought.
Mai and John went back to the base. Mai sat down next to her husband who pulled her in to a hug. He kissed the side of her of her head and murmured in her hair, "I'm so proud of you" Mai smiled in his shoulder.
"We still have the remaining spirits." Masako said.
"I'll go and take care of them." Ayako said standing up. Bou-san stood up to. "You do the bottom half and I'll do the top half." For once they agreed on something.
"Good work Brown-san." Naru turned to the priest.
After about half an hour Ayako and Bou-san came back and Masako went to see if they succeeded. She came back and nodded her head. "Okay everyone, start packing." Naru said as he was about to get up.
Mai shook her head, "It's not that simple." she whispered as she stood up and went over to the monitor that had the image of the kitchen. The stove was lit on high.
"Oh shit." Bou-san muttered as he and Lin bolted in to the kitchen to put out the fire. It took them almost ten minutes to control it.
"The man who set the fire that killed Sakura and her parents is here. He enjoys setting fires by the looks of it." Mai and Masako looked around the kitchen and in the right hand corner was the ghost of the fire bug.
Mai took a step towards the ghost. "Do you like fire?" She asked him. The ghost only smiled at her when she mentioned the word fire.
"Why did you set this house and this stove on fire?"
"Because." The voice cold.
"Because why?"
"Just because."
"Well I'm afraid that isn't good enough. A man and his wife and daughter died because of you." Mai yelled at the ghost. "You killed them."
The ghost looked at her with regret and sadness. "I didn't mean to kill them. I was only trying to make a camp fire. But before I knew it the fire was out of control. I raced in to the house to warn the owners but I found them and their daughter on the ground. They were already dead, the smoke got to them. I tried, I-" The ghost was interrupted by a bright light.
John smiled at the man, "God understands."
The man smiled as he walked in to the light.
Naru was leaning against the kitchen bench tapping his pen against his mouth in thought. "How would a fire spread so fast?"
"Wind?" Bou-san shrugged. Lin shook his head. "According to this, the wind was travelling north and the house is facing south and the camp fire was lit right behind the house. So it couldn't have been the wind."
"A spirit?" Masako guessed. She can't see or sense anything.
"A second person?" Bou-san's turn to guess.
Mai was staring at a corner. "No more like a demon." Everyone stared at her. Mai pointed to the corner. A black hooded figure stood there watching. Then it went up the stairs. Mai ran after it.
"MAI NO!" Naru yelled.
Half way down the hallway Mai stripped her cloths and started to change. Soon the white wolf stood there.
Mai padded her way through the rooms and found the demon in a little girl's bedroom. Mai growled a threatening growl the demon held out his arms then flew out the window. Another portal was found and destroyed.
Ayako frowned down at Mai who was still in her wolf form. "Why did the demon run away from Mai?" She asked.
Gene smiled at her. "It has said that some people believed the the white wolf was sent from the heavens to guard the living from the devil. Isn't that right John?"
John nodded. "That's correct. I believe that Mai did come from the heavens. She is a beautiful in her wolf form and Human form."
Mai wagged her tail at him.
"Are you hitting on my sister in law?" Gene teased him.
"No of course not." John blushed.
"Everyone start packing the equipment. We have a long drive ahead. Lin, call the owners and let them know that it is safe to come home."
When the owners arrived back and Naru explained everything.
Soon everyone in their cars. Ready for the three hour drive home.
Only one more chapter left.
I am deeply sorry if this chapter was to boring. Oh I also made up about the thing about the white wolf.
Please R&R.
