File 7.

Missing Within Ghost House.

Naru and the rest literally threw themselves into the library, of course they hadn't expected Mai to be the one left behind, crying into her hands and boks strewn around her like someone had let a twister go through the room.

"Mai!" Naru exclaimed and rushed over to her and crouched beside her, she looked up from her palms and threw herself into his arms, crying into his chest "I'm so sorry... John.. he.. John was taken.." she cried and continued to sob against his chest as Naru looked at the rest of the team from the corner of his eyes, Ayako and Bou was seemingly was in shock, Lin too and Masako, she had fallen to the floor, Minami came in and had a frightened expression on her face.

"W-what happened?" she asked as Lin turned "Brown-san was taken by the spirits!" he told her and she gasped "oh no.. I'm so sorry!" she told them, her head lowering as she tried not to show to much how her anger and despair.

Naru helped Mai up and blinked when she nearly screamed again, but all that came out was a half-choked shriek "Mai?" "m-my wrist.. one of the books hit me.. it hurts" Naru frowned "Matsuzaki-san... please take a look at Mai, Hara-san, how is it?" Masaki was helped up by Bou and she looked at Naru "I can feel their presence, but I can't see them nor hear them!" she said, turning away to hide her sorrow.

"Mai?" Naru asked and turned back to Mai, who was drying up her tears with her fine wrist, wich happened to be her right hand "I can't either, I can feel them though.. like Masako, I can feel and hear John, but I cannot see him.. it's like they're here, yet not here!"

Naru nodded "Lin, call Madoka and get some information, then make some tea if you can!" the last part made Lin gawk slightly, but stopped and nodded, then he left, Minami following him in his heels and Naru had to wonder what she was up too.

"Oliver" Mai whispered when no-one could hear her "you know.. I think those two might get together in the future.. I hope so though!" she said and Naru had to smile "how so?" "well.. he hates Japanese right, because of what they did, this might help!" she told him and Naru nearly laughed "true.. once when we where kids.. she actually stole a kiss from him, Gene was laughing in two and a half week after that" Mai chuckled.

Masako turned and left with Ayako and Bou as Naru kissed Mai "don't go anywhere on your own!" he told her and Mai nodded, but looked down "I'm not sure.. it doesn't feel like I'm the target at all this time.." she told him and Naru frowned "what do you mean?"

"I mean" she was cut off when another scream filled the house "Ayako.." Mai said and they both ran out of the room, down the hall and into the base, where both Ayako and Masako was on the floor, both knocked out and the monk gone.

"Bou-san?" Mai tried after running over to Ayako and crouching beside her.

Then she turned slowly towards Naru "Oliver.. he.. Bou-san, is he..?" Naru took her into his arms "I'm afraid so" tears began to fall from her eyes again and she clung to Naru with her healthy arm "why.. why do they disappear?" she thought and was abruptly brought back to reality when Naru kissed her roughly "it's going to be okay Mai!" Naru told her when he backed off, all of her tears had stopped and been replaced by a dark blush.

"O-Oliver.." Mai whispered before she hugged him, the next second though, the door opened and Lin, with Minami in tow "what happened Naru?" he closed the door and Minami rushed over to Masako and Ayako, who was still unconscious.

"Bou-san was taken" Mai said slowly, she didn't want to look at the other two, red-eyed and blushing, Naru nodded and Lin sighed "tell Madoka that Yasuhara-san has to stay away!" Naru told him as Lin walked over to get his phone, the Chinese man nodded and dialed the number to Naru's teacher.

"Mai, can you help me with Matsuzaki-san?" Naru asked and Mai nodded, lifting Ayako onto the couch was easier said than done, Naru might have grown the past five years, but Ayako was still taller than him, although, just barely, he and Mai put her down on the couch before Naru went over and picked up Masako as if she was made out of feather, Mai felt something along the way of jealousy strike her, but she shook it away, now was not the time to be jealous.

"Naru.. how come this room isn't wrecked?" Mai asked after a while, she was watching over the two unconscious women with Minami as Lin talked on the phone and Naru looking through his files "don't know.. we'll find out soon enough Mai" he told her in his usual tone.

"I wonder how they are doing!" Mai thought as she yawned, Naru looked at her once and then he smiled to himself "go to sleep Mai" she turned and glared, but didn't protest, instead she sat down on a chair and folded her hands on top of the desk, soon she was head in her arms, fast asleep.

Mai opened her eyes and stared around "so dark.."

"I wonder where John and Bou-san is" Mai thought as she floated around in complete darkness "and where's Gene.. don't tell me he has been caught either.." she then frowned and looked around in frustration "Gene!" she yelled, but there was no answer.

Suddenly a blue orb appeared before her and she met a warm gaze and smile "Mai-chan, what is it?" Gene asked, he looked just as handsome as ever, although, Mai always thought that Naru looked better wich non of them knew why since those two where identical.

"I think Lin-san and Oliver is in danger, both John and Bou-san has been taken by the spirit here.." Mai said and looked down, her eyes sadening as she spoke.

Gene's eyes widened before he smiled and put both hands on the woman shoulder's "I show you.." he said and Mai looked up at him, his smile was gone now and he looked worried, more than she had ever seen him in fact, maybe it was because his twin-brother might be in danger? "come on.." he said and took her hand, she nodded, mostly to herself and followed him, as they walked around in the darkness, the surrounding changed and they where soon standing on a green meadow "this is?" "it's where the current house to Minami-neechan stands, this is.. two hundred years ago" Gene told her and his grip on her hand tightened.

"Gene?" Mai asked as she stopped herself, suddenly something else happened, she turned to Gene "you have to go, if she finds out, she'll kill you!" she said and Gene turned, he nodded "but.." Mai took his other hand "please, tell him that I love him, but as long as my sister still lives I cannot see him.. or you for that matter!" she said as tears welled in her eyes.

"Mai.. okay, I'll tell Noll you love him, please be careful" he backed off and left, Mai looked after him before she walked up on the meadow, suddenly someone appeared before her and Mai gasped "Ayako-oneesama?" the woman glared back "who was that?" she stood in front of the house they lived in "what?" Mai asked as the woman came up and grabbed her arm "who was that?" she hissed and Mai yelped "a-a friend.. from my childhood.. why?" she tried not to think about the man she loved.

"I will not let you see him!" Ayako hissed again and Mai jerked her head upwards to look right at her "I do not love him, he is just a friend.." she told her, but the older woman didn't listen.

Suddenly the scenery changed and Mai stood alone on the meadow, the sun had nearly gone down, but she wasn't alone, her sister had been crouching on the meadow, she was bloody and was holding a long kitchen-knife, Mai gasped at the scene in front of her "why.. Onee-sama.." she whispered and tears welled up in her eyes "why.. they where only after your money.. and body!" Ayako told her and tears finally fell from Mai's eyes "he was not, he was JUST a friend.. he never intended to get me.. he.." she whispered, suddenly another man appeared before her.

"Oliver.." Mai gasped and stared at the man as he stared at Ayako "what.. what did you do?" he asked, his usual cold voice making Mai shiver as Ayako got up "so your the one who's got your eyes on Mai-chan!" she raised the knife and Mai shrieked "no, Onee-sama.. please let him be!" she threw herself on-top of Ayako and held the knife away from the twin of Gene, who stared back in shock as Mai looked back at him "run Oliver.. run, she will kill you too if you don't!" she screamed as Oliver walked forward and grabbed Ayako's arm, then he pried the knife out of her hand and threw it as far away as he could, then he glared at her "I am not interested in such things as money and body, I only want Mai to love me, like I love her!" he said as calmly as ever.

Mai felt heat rise fast to her face and her grip on Ayako loosened enough to get her off and attack Oliver, who pushed the woman away, took Mai's hand and ran for it.

"O-Oliver?" she asked as they ran down the meadow and towards the small village "we're off, I won't let you go back, she'll hurt you again!" he told her as they entered the village, people looked at them as they passed, this made Oliver smile slightly "but Mai-sama, for you sister to kill my brother, I won't let that go unseen!" he said loudly, several people's eyes widened in realisation and some even frowned, Mai didn't look at them "does this mean.." she began and Oliver looked at her "my family will not let them, my father probably knows already and he wont let it go like that..." Mai nodded and let him drag her towards his house, then he stopped "I will tell them that you are also in danger, seeing that they know about your situation!"

Mai nodded and looked down "but.." "but what Mai?" she looked up at him "what do you think they will say?"

"Probably that they will take care of Ayako.. this isn't the first time she had caused a mayhem, this is the first time though that she killed someone.." he stilled and soon they entered his house, they followed the path up to the main house before the door opened and Masako, one of the Davis family's maids "welcome home Oliver-sama?" she first said, but her sentence turned into a question when she saw Mai and the fact that they where holding hands, looking like they had run a mile or more and that Mai was looking frightened.

"Call my father Hara-san!" Oliver called as he dragged Mai inside and through the house until they reached the living room, a very spacious, light brown room.

Seconds later, a man entered, he looked a lot like Oliver, yet he was different, maybe it was the kinder expression he wore was more similar to Oliver's brother, Eugene.

"What is it Oliver, suddenly calling me over.." Martin stopped when he saw the bloody mess Mai currently was "what happened.. Mai-chan?" he asked and came over, Mai tried to fight back the tears, but couldn't hold on to long and soon she was sobbing into Oliver's chest again "Oliver?" "it's Mai's sister, father, she finally snapped!" Martin's eyes widened "what?" then he noted that Gene was not there "where is Gene?" Mai sobbed harder and Oliver looked down with eyes full of agony.

"Where is he.. Oliver, where is Gene?" his father repeated and Oliver looked up "Mai's sister.. she... Gene.. he.. he is dead" the last came out as a whisper and Martin's expression changed to anger "what?" "Mai saw it, she tried to stop her, but she couldn't.. she barely stopped the woman to kill me.." Oliver said and shielded the woman as Martin looked even more angry for every second.

"Take care of Mai-chan, I will go up and see, why is she bloody anyway.. is she hurt?" he asked as he turned towards the door to leave, Mai looked up at Oliver "no father, she jumped on top of her sister to protect me!" Martin smiled to Mai "you did a good thing.." then he left.

Mai sighed "Mai?" "how come everything always happens to me?" she looked even more weak when she said it and it took every fiber in Oliver's body not to shake her "Mai, it doesn't always happen to you, you just weren't that lucky.." she nodded as she heard someone from far away "there she is.." and "catch her.." they walked out on one of the balconies and saw many torches along the way to the meadow.

"Oliver.. are they.. are they going to kill Ayako-oneesama?" she asked and looked up at Oliver, who turned to her, then he kissed her "it does not matter anymore Mai, your safe!" she kissed back and smiled into it "thank you Oliver.." she whispered.

"Curse you all!" they heard and turned towards the scene in front of them, they couldn't see anything in the dark, except the torches, but as they all closed in on each other in a ring, Oliver turned Mai away and lead her into the room, then he kissed her hard and she fell against the wall, wrapping her arms around his neck for support.

A scream filled the air, but thankfully Mai didn't hear it because she was distracted, but she did hear another thing "I'll always curse you, demons of Adam!"

Then everything went black and soon she was standing alone in the dark before Gene appeared "are you okay?" Mai blinked away some tears and she nodded "now I am, you know.. it wasn't that fun to see you die... I feel sorry for Oliver though.." "why?" Gene looked at her "it's the second time he has to find out your dead" Mai stated and Gene sighed "true, but he will understand it's a dream when he wake up" "y-you mean.. he was there too.. he was Oliver!" Mai gawked and Gene laughed "yeah.. now.. wake up, you have to tell him right.." the woman glared at him "what about Oliver?" "yeah.. well, he just woke up so.. he can tell them, but he probably want to make sure it's true!"

Mai nodded and hugged him "thank you Gene.." then she faded away.

Mai yawned and sat up, while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, then she turned and stared right into Naru's face "W-WHAT?" she shrieked and nearly fell of the chair, remembering the dream and Naru in said dream, she blushed and got back up on the chair as she saw a smirk firmly placed on the narcissist's face "what's so funny?"

"Nothing.. did you have a dream?" he asked and she turned bright red "well.. yes.. I'm not really sure though.. about the names I mean.. but one thing I'm sure of.." she stated "what Mai?" Naru asked, looking ready to do something nasty to find out.

"I'm not the one in danger this time.. it's you and Lin-san.. or.. all men!"
