I don't own any of the Ghost Hunt characters, sadly *pout*
Masako shot up in bed in a panic, Mai was the white wolf, that meant the Mai was hurt and in serious trouble, she had to tell the others. It was then she noticed that she wasn't lying on the couch in the base room, instead she was lying on a comfortable bed in a clean white room, at first she thought she was dreaming still, but that idea was soon proved wrong when her whole body began to ache telling her that she was defiantly awake, the IV beside her confirmed her suspicions, she was in the hospital. The door opened startling the young medium.
"Masako you're awake," The relieved voice of John Brown reached her ears.
"John what happened?" she asked waiting for him to enter the room.
"Huh? You don't remember? You were attacked by the wolf but Bubbles saved you," Bou-san answered before John could, entering the room behind the priest.
"Bubbles?"
"Oh that's the name we agreed on for the white wolf," Bou-san said with a smile as he thought of the little tyke.
"The wolf? Mai!" Masako yelled remembering her dream. At the mention of the girl's name the other two occupants of the room became sad.
"We still haven't found her, Masako it's been over a week now, the police say she's most likely dead but....I know she's still out there!" Bou-san said determinedly.
"The police? A week? How- how long was I out for?" Masako asked shocked that the police had gotten involved.
"Masako you've been in a coma for nearly two weeks, you need to calm down," John instructed forcing the girl to lie down.
"But you don't understand," she replied pushing the older boy away from her.
"Hara-san," a voice interrupted from the doorway.
"Naru!" Masako yelled, Naru was pushed out of the way as the doctor rushed in to check on his patient.
"Ms Hara you're awake! Please you need to rest you had lost a lot of blood by the time you were brought in," the doctor said, surprised that his patient had awakened.
"I am fine doctor but I need to speak with my friends if you please," Masako said as she indicated to the door, the doctor frowned, obviously not happy with being dismissed by his patient.
"Very well Ms Hara, I will be down the hall if you need me," he replied before leaving the room. Masako turned back to Naru and the others.
"Naru, what have I missed?" she asked, Naru took a seat that was by the wall while John took a seat beside Masako ready to comfort her if needed.
"Hara-san you have not missed much, I'm afraid we still haven't solved the case but we have made some grim discoveries," Naru started, he paused but when it look like Masako had nothing to say he continued. "In the time that you have been unconscious Yasuhara managed to find a local legend about the house, it seems that before the house was abandoned it belonged to a Mr Ashu," Naru said, he turned to Yasuhara who Masako had just noticed had also arrived, waiting for him to fill her in.
"Er right," Yasuhara said getting the message, "Well like Naru said it belonged to a Mr Ashu before it was abandoned, however he wasn't the only occupant of the house, many people lived there and worked under Mr Ashu, however it was said the Mr Ashu was a cruel tyrant, he even killed his own wife for reasons unknown, she was a kind hearted woman. The man was said to be obsessed with wolves and claimed to have a soul eating wolf despite the fact that no wolf was ever seen on the premises and even named the house wolf manor. The village got suspicious as every now and then people would go missing without a trace, some from the manor itself and others from the village; they believed that Mr Ashu was offering their souls to the wolf. But one night the entire occupants of the house just disappeared, the whole place was trashed, the only thing left was the statue of a wolf, it was believed that the wolf statue would come alive and devours the souls of anyone foolish enough to wonder the manor grounds. From then on, no one from the village set foot near the place and eventually abandoned the area, moving their homes five miles away from the cursed place, which explains why there is no town located near the manor in the first place," Yasuhara said finishing his story.
"Mr Ashu," Masako said testing the name on her tongue, he could be the man that had killed himself in her dreams. "The white wolf, he's after the white wolf!" she claimed sitting up. Naru narrowed his eyes at her.
"Explain," he said coldly. Masako nodded and began her tale.
"When I was in a coma, I had a dream about a man in the manor. He was tall and in his early thirties, he was also wearing wolf fur. I followed him through the Manor to see him enter a secrete room hidden behind the library. The room was full of decaying bodies and an alter dedicated to a black wolf statue that was built into the wall. The man recited some sort of spell bringing the statue to life, he kept asking where he would find the white one, but the statue said that the white one was born every millennia and he had already missed his chance. The man, Mr Ashu I believe then began a ritual. I'm afraid I am unfamiliar with the language but the statue became more alive in the sense that it could move away from the wall, it spit a tooth at the man which the man used to...." she paused trying to regain her composure, it was not something Masako liked talking about, John rubbed her hand supportively to which Masako just smiled at before continuing, "He raised the tooth and brought it down on himself, but before he died, the wolf statue pounced at him before smashing apart, and the man's soul left his dead body, he transformed into a wolf," she said finishing her tale, she looked back to Naru who was frowning in thought.
"Naru he wants the white wolf so he can become all powerful, where is she?" she asked worried for Mai's safety.
"Don't worry Masako, Bubbles is fine and right now is helping Ayako by cheering up all the kids in the cafeteria," Bou-san informed her.
"But Bou-san you don't understand, the white wolf is not a wolf, it's Mai," she said with tears in her eyes.
"What?!" the group yelled while Naru watched on waiting for the medium to explain.
"In my coma, I had another dream, this one was about what happened to Mai before she went missing, in it she was attacked by the black wolf," at this Naru clenched his fists hard barely managing to conceal the rage he felt in his eyes. "Mai found a secrete room though and escaped but there was another alter, this time to the white wolf, Mai touched it and the whole room began to shake, the statue fell on Mai but rather then killing her it transformed her much like the other statue transformed Ashu, Mai is the white wolf," Masako explained.
"That would explain why she was so tamed around humans," Yasuhara added in thought.
"Then Mai's in danger, how do we turn her back?" Bou-san said looking to Naru.
"Turn who back?" a femine voice called from the door.
"Madoka? What are you doing here?" Yasuhara asked spotting the bubbly woman in the doorway standing in front of Lin.
"I heard that Mai had gone missing and I flew out here to help," Madoka answered entering, "Naru how could you let that girl out of your sight?!" the woman yelled give Naru a smack round the head, causing Lin to sweat drop while Bou-san smirked at the teen.
