A/N: I'm actually proud of myself for continuing this cause for a little while there I was second guessing if it mattered or not. But, every time I, myself read through this fic I burst out in laughter and rage with enjoyment each and every time. So, I hope you all will love this chapter!

Once Mai thought that she had given enough power to the spirit she turned over to Ryushi.
"I'm tired again." Mai said as she placed her head on his shoulder before yawning.
"Go ahead and sleep. I'll protect you." Ryushi said as Mai slowly closed her eyes.
"So, how long have the two of you been together?" Monk asked the young man after he thought Mai had fallen asleep.
"That's none of you're concern." Ryushi tried to deflect the conversation as a blush started raising.
"It is too! I was like a father to her when we worked together before." Monk pressed.
"That was before." Ryushi said with pain lacing his tone.
"So, then you won't tell me?" Monk replied ignoring the stab that Ryushi had landed.
"You should ask her yourself, if you're so curious." Ryushi told him indicating that the conversation was over.
"Aw, co-" Monk started to to say when he suddenly felt a powerful presence outside of the base.
"Takigawa-san!" Lin exclaimed at the same moment that Monk stood and faced the spirit. Monk started chanting as the spirit came closer to them. John woke up from his nap from the presence and immediately went into action to back up Monk.
"Thank you." The spirit simply said before it passed on while Monk and John were still chanting. Everyone looked on in disbelief of what had just occurred.
"Lin, have you're shiki do a sweep of the house again." Naru ordered.
"Naru, that spirit just now passed on by itself. It wasn't exercised, it was purified." Monk said with a hint of an ominous tone.
"Naru. My shiki were finally able to do a run of the house. It seems as though there's five ghost here currently. None of them have a powerful presence or any malice." Lin told him.
"That must mean that the ghost that just left was either the perpetrator behind this case and the murders, or was abnormally strong for some reason." Naru said not explaining anything further as he started thinking.
"That would mean that the peaceful presence that me and John felt on our walkthrough was the after effects of the ghost that was causing harm from passing on. That doesn't make sense. None of us did anything." Monk mumbled as he thought out loud.
"Arishima-san, are you holding out on anymore information?" Naru asked after a moment. Ryushi was surprised from the sudden mention of him.
"No. I'm not." Ryushi answered him with a dry tone. Naru simply turned his gaze to Mai as he went back into thought again.
"Lin where are the ghost located?" Naru asked.
"Most of them are near the bathroom on the third floor." Lin answered after a few seconds.
"Where are the rest located?" Naru asked in return.
"There's one on the first floor, one on the second, and then one by the stairs of the third floor." Lin told him.
"Father Brown I want you to do an exorcism of the remaining ghosts. Takigawa-san, start chanting from the first floor and slowly make you're way up to the third floor bathroom. You don't have to exorcise them, just get them to the third story bathroom.. I want to try and get them all at one time we'll start things in two hours." Naru stated.
"But what are we going to do about the ghost that have been leaving without us doing anything?" Monk asked. Naru gave no reply as he turned back to the monitors and started to look at his little black notebook.
"Are you okay with this John?" Monk asked after he was sure that Naru wasn't going to tell him anything else.
"It's what Kazuya-san wants to do." John replied back. An hour went by without much happening when Mai woke back up.
"Hello sunshine." Ryushi said with a smile as he watched her sleeping face lift off of his shoulder.
"Hhhhmmmmm." Mai hummed in response.
"Did you have a nice nap?" He asked her.
"It was peaceful." Mai replied back with a smile.
"That's a relief. It's been different here." Ryushi told her.
"Really? What happened? Is everyone okay?" Mai asked him as worry washed her face.
"Everyone's fine idiot. Of course you'd know that if you had enough brain cells to look around before asking." Naru suddenly interrupted.
"A powerful ghost came by, and Takigawa-sama had exorcised it. Then Lin-san was able to pinpoint the rest of the ghost after that, and Shibuya-san has decided a plan of action. It's to drive all of the ghost to the third story bathroom and then have someone there to exorcise them." Ryushi explained to her ignoring Naru's input.
"So then, we'll going to finish the job?" She asked him continuing to ignore Naru's interruption.
"Yup. So don't worry." Ryushi told here before he gave her a quick kiss. Mai smiled from the action and snuggled closer to him.
"Naru." Lin said sternly to Naru. Naru then walked over to the monitors as a pretense and then continued to read his little black booklet.
"So Mai, just a question here. Why is you're boyfriend on this case with us?" Monk asked directly once more, a little upset that he never got a reply.
"Since I don't have any powers anymore, I've relied on Ryu to keep me safe." Mai said softly knowing that whatever she said Ryushi would back her up on it.
"So then, you don't have dreams or feelings anymore?" Monk then asked concerned.
"Not since we disbanded." She replied back simply.
"Alright. How long have the two of you been dating?" Monk then asked as Naru turned his attention away from his booklet.
"That's irrelevant. When is the exorcism starting?" Mai asked back.
"Soon." Monk said a little hurt that she had answered him in such a way. After a few more minutes Monk and John got ready to do as Naru planned. The plan had work somehow, thankfully for Mai. If not she was going to have to figure out another way to have the ghosts pass on, which wouldn't be too easy with the amount she was being watched. Once it was all said and done it was close to two in the morning and everyone was thankful for the fact that they could finally leave the base. As Ayako, John,and Monk started to leave the base Mai got up and pulled Ryushi for him to follow her.
"Let's get you to bed." She said with a smile as he stood.
"Mai stay and help with packing up the equipment." Naru commanded before the couple got far.
"Fine Shibuya-san." Mai replied back with a flat tone. She continued to walk with Ryushi until they had reached the door.
"Go get some sleep. I'll be fine by myself for a little while." Mai said before she gave Ryushi a small kiss.
"Are you sure?" Ryushi asked wanting to make sure that she wasn't lying to him.
"Yes." Mai answered him honestly with a small smile.
"Alright then, I'll see you when I wake up, I guess." Ryushi said returning her smile before he left to the guy's room.
"Where do you want me to start?" Mai asked as she turned back to face the room after she was sure that Ryushi was going to the guys' room.
"Go grab the cameras around the house for now." Naru told her with an icy tone.
"Noll." Lin simply said after Mai had left the room.
"You don't have to remind me after each incident." Naru said as he started to unplug the monitor's.
"Then you need to have better control over yourself when they do something befitting a couple." Lin told him as he helped him.
"I know." Naru snarrled. They continued in silence until Mai came back with a few of the cameras. She placed two cameras on the table before she left without a word. When she returned she had two stands and another camera with her.
"I'll help you. It'll be over before the sunrises then." Naru said as she was about to leave again.
"I can do it by myself." Mai said trying to not have Naru following her around.
"It'll take forever then." Naru simply stated as he walked out of the base with her following behind her.
"Which ones have you taken care of so far?" He asked as he suddenly stopped.
"Just the three on the first floor." Mai replied back sourly. The pair then continued to the second floor where more cameras were placed in silence. Once they were past the stairs they both went for different cameras placed in the hallway.
"So, you're over Gene then?" Naru brought up as he started to dismantle a camera at one side of the hall while she did the same to another camera facing a different direction nearby.
