Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt


Mai was blushing from the kiss as she guided Ryushi over to the couch so that Ayako could look him over. Ayako started to look the young man over as everyone else waited to know what would happen next.

"We can't leave Shibuya-san! What happens if something were to happen to somebody else in this villa? They'd be hurt because we did nothing!" Mai said after turning towards him.

"It's too dangerous Mai. Arishima-san was taken, you've passed out multiple times now, and I was knocked unconscious. The team's safety comes first." Naru told her with a stern gaze.

"Then I'm staying! I don't care what happens, but the ghost here deserve to pass on, and nobody deserves to go through losing a loved one." Mai yelled at him enraged.

"Mai. It'll be safer to just leave." Ryushi said quietly from the couch.

"I know Ryu. That's why you should leave with these hopeless, terrified, failures." Mai said before she left the base once more. She made her way to the kitchen and started to make tea.

"Matsuzaki-san, follow after her." Naru instructed back at the base.

"I'll go Naru. Ayako's still fixing up Arishima-san." Monk offered as he started to leave the room. No response came from Naru so he went and followed the young woman.

"She is right Kazuya-san. We could probably stay for just one more night to gather more data, it's almost night anyway. We won't make it back in time to beat sunset." John offered up.

"Fine, as long as nobody leaves base without my permission." Naru replied back.

"Ryushi, is there anywhere else you were hurt?" Ayako asked after bandaging some of his wounds.

"My left ankle hurts. I think it might have been twisted." Ryushi told her. As Ayako continued to take care of him Naru glanced over the monitors.

"What happened Arishima-san?" Naru asked as he opened his black booklet.

"I'm not really sure. I couldn't sleep, so I was going to go check on Mai and talk with her." Ryushi began.

"I was walking to the girls room, and when I was about to round a corner everything went black. Next thing I know, I'm in a darkroom with tiled flooring. I couldn't move much because of a really bad headache." He continued after nobody said anything.

"Lin." naru commanded before nodding his head for the young man to continue.

"I tried getting up to find my way out, but I guess I had twisted my ankle at some point. I could only find one wall and it seemed like the room had gone on for miles, so I had decided to sit down and wait. At some point I saw a little girl appeared before me. I'm not sure where she came from. I mean, I'm used to astral beings and everything from my work, but I've never been directly attacked like this before." Ryushi explained.

"What do you mean that you're use to astral beings from work? What kind of work do you do?" Naru asked suspicious now. Ryushi cringed as Ayako was tightly wrapping his ankle for him.

"I work for a parapsychologist. But, my boss never lets me do anything as amazing as this." He confessed to the group.

"I thought you said you couldn't do anything spiritually." John added in.

"I can only see glimpses of the future of somebody else, and it's usually just a few minutes ahead. It doesn't help on cases much, so I'm in charge of reviewing the tapes. I usually don't get a chance to leave the office much." Ryushi answered.

"And you didn't see anything happening to Mai?" Ayako asked as she finished the wrapping.

"No, not at all. I haven't seen anything on this case. To be honest it rarely happens when I do see something." Ryushi said.

"Father Brown I want you to do a walkthrough with Takigawa-san after he comes back with Mai." Naru ordered. John simply nodded his head in response. The rest of the time was spent in silence as they waited for the pair to return while Naru continued to watch over the monitors next to Lin. Mai came back after a few more minutes had passed with a try of tea, and one cup of coffee, with Monk following behind her. She placed the tray down and grabbed a cup of tea for herself and the cup of coffee for Ryushi before she sat next to him. John walked over to Monk and told him what Naru wanted the two of them to do before they left together.
"Here. I thought you might need this Ryu." Mai said as she handed him the cup.

"Thanks Mai." Ryushi said with a smile as he accepted the cup.

"Mai. You are not to leave this room again until the end of this case. Is that clear?" Naru asked the young girl as he grabbed a cup off the tray.

"So then you're staying to finish this after all?" Mai asked hopeful.

"I've agreed to stay at least the night, if we find out more then I'll reconsider leaving as long as you stay in base." Naru told her before he went back to the monitors.

"Fine." Mai replied before she took a sip of her tea.

"Are you okay Mai? Where did you get those cuts on you're face?" Ryushi asked concerned after getting a good look at her face. Mai looked up at him ashamed that she couldn't hide them.

"I must have gotten them when I passed out earlier. It's okay they don't hurt. I honestly didn't know I even had them." She said with a small forced smile on her face.

"You passed out again? What happened while I wasn't here?" Ryushi asked with concern as he wrapped an arm around her. Naru turned over to the couple at this interested in knowing what had exactly happened.

"I couldn't handle the thought of you dying, so I left the base and searched for you. When I was in the third story bathroom I felt somebody push me from behind and then I blacked out. When I woke up, I went and searched all of the rooms for you before coming back to the base." She said quietly as she snuggled closer to him.

"Why did you start there Mai?" Naru asked.

"Hm? Where?" Mai asked playing indifference.

"On the tapes John watched you go straight to the third story bathroom, while the rest of us followed after you." Naru said more sternly.

"I wanted to start from the top down." Mai simply stated. Just before Naru could continue Monk and John had returned.

"Hey Naru, something's up." Monk said gaining the younger man's attention.

"Did you find something?" Naru asked.

"That's just it. I didn't. When me and Ayako did the first walk through of the house we felt an ominous presence, and when me and John just did it, the place seems purified somehow. It's hard to explain." Monk told him quizzically.

"Matsuzaki-san, make charms again. I want them to be passed out to everyone once more to be sure that we all have them on us. Takigawa-san, Father Brown be ready for any attacks. " Naru ordered.

"Naru, I've finally managed to get the background information for this case. You need to see this." Lin said quietly. Naru walked over in response and started to read what was on the screen. As Naru continued to read the others started to make some small talk. By the time Naru was done reading what Lin had found out Mai was already asleep snuggled next to her boyfriend. In order to gain their attention back to him, Naru slammed his black book shut after writing something down.

"There have been eight deaths concerning this house. The first one was a suicide of a 43 year old man. It's unlikely that these hauntings are because of him. The next death that occurred was a murder of two children that were twins. One was cut opened, and the other one was drowned. Both died in the third story bathroom. The police haven't caught the perpetrator. The owner of the house after that died, and their body was found in the third floor bathroom. The owner after that died of old age, and the next one was found dead three weeks after moving in laying in the third story bathtube. Two more owners lived and then moved out. The next people to move in until two of them were both found dead one morning in the third story bathroom. One was in a tub of blood, while the other was on the floor. Then the house was passed over to the owner before Kawasaki came into possession of the deed. It seems as though she hasn't spent much time in the building herself. Everyone after the children's death was a male ages ranging from 18 to 28 years old, except for the one that died of old age." Naru explained.

"So then one of the ghost is killing people that are here?" Monk spoke up.

"I believe that it is either one of the twins or both, since they died in the bathroom themselves before the rest of the deaths connected with that bathroom occurred." Naru commented as he kept watch over Mai.

"Are we sure that Mai doesn't have any powers anymore? They could've been dormant for the years that we weren't together." Ayako asked next.

"She doesn't have any powers. I would know." Ryushi defended her as he tightened his arm around her.

"But, she went directly to the room where all of the bodies were found, and where the murder of those twins had taken place." Monk stated.

"I don't care what you think. She doesn't have any powers. I had just told her before I had left to go to sleep before I was taken, that she might get attacked in the third story bathroom, and to be careful." Ryushi said forcefully.

"You didn't care to inform any of us about this? You even denied having such a vision before when you told us about you're ability." Naru asked plainly.

"She can handle herself, even without powers, and she doesn't trust any of you. So, why should I then?" Ryushi asked as he stared straight into Naru's eyes, matching his intense gaze.
