Chapter 6

Normal POV -

Mai noticed rather quickly that whatever or whoever was causing the phenomenon that was occurring at this movie theater was not going to be happy with her if they found her body before SPR. She was currently wondering the halls hoping to run in to Naru or Gene but as usual she was having no luck and for some reason she felt like she was walking in some endless circle. Finally turning around the corner on her right she saw two people she hoped was one of her two saviors but as she got closer she realized that she had no such luck instead they were to men one looked solid like he was not in the astral plane but his companion was a beastly looking man with red eyes and he was definitely on the same plane as Mai and her instincts were telling her to turn and run!

TOO LATE! They both noticed her. The beast man was trying to make his way to her when Mai remembered that all she had to do was wake up and she would be back at her body. If only it were so easy! She had to think fast it wasn't working with her trying to get back to her body. Starting to panic she took off running. She could hear the beast man behind her approaching fast then it stop and she realized she was back in the old projector room were her body was.

Taking in her surroundings she had somehow managed to get back in her body. She needed to get out of here and fast before one of the two men found her. She had no idea who the beast like man was with the glowing eyes but the other man looked similar to the one that approached Hanako in her dream. She couldn't think of his name. 'Come on Mai think!'

Finally she realized it was Tamaki the guy that had threatened Hanako when she told him off. Now all she had to do was find a way out of this room before one of the ghost could find her. As she was getting up pain shot down her left leg, looking down she saw a deep purple bruise around the knee it looked like she had fallen on her left knee pretty hard and the swelling did not help her mobility, but she could hobble on it at least long enough to try to find an exit.

Naru's POV

Where could Mai have run off to, we haven't even been here two hours and she is lost? For some reason I can't shake the feeling that she has gotten herself in some sort of trouble.

'Gene can you sense her spirit around here anywhere?'

'So far no, I am sensing the spirit of women but it is faint and something else but I can't get a good read on the entity it is masking its true nature somehow.'

'As long as Mai is not one of them that is fine we have time to figure out who the other two are.'

'Why can't you just admit you feelings for the poor girl. We all know that she is the reason you came back to Japan, that the line about more spiritual activity was a load of crap and that you missed her and the tea you love so much.'

'You are an idiot Gene. I did not come back to Japan for Mai, I came back because there was more to research here and because I felt more like my self here I don't have to be the great Oliver Davis here. I am free to do as I like without people watching my every move and worrying about the press. I like it here.'

'I can tell that is a half truth you idiot scientist but eventually you will have to come to terms with what Mai really means to you she will eventually be graduating from high school and will have to find her own path in life to follow and if you don't consciously make yourself part of her path then she will move on to better and brighter things in life.'

"SOMEBODY HELP GET ME OUT OF HERE THE DOOR IS JAMMED!"

Naru takes off at the sound of Mai's voice trying to figure out the direction it is coming from "MAI KEEP TALKING SO WE CAN FIND YOU."

"NARUUU, GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Naru looks at Gene and they both realize that she is in the old projection rooms and whatever is with her or whatever she saw has her freaked out enough she is screaming her head off trying to get some ones attention.

Reaching the door Naru yells out "MAI BACK UP WE ARE GOING TO BLAST THE DOOR DOWN."

Hearing her move out the way the twins prepare to blast the door, by sending seeds of energy back and forth until Naru can feel just the right amount of power. The pressure in the room has risen and hair on Gene and Mai's necks start to prickle as his power grows and builds.

BOOM – Crash

Cough Mai stumbles out of the dark stair case that leads up to an old projector room.

Looking at Mai, Naru raises his eyebrow as if willing the poor girl to explain what happened.

Sighing Mai launches in to her story of how she was following the two of them to base .

10 minutes later –

After explaining everything that happened Naru promptly demands "Mai Tea"

Looking like she is ready to kill him "How do you suppose I get to the kitchen I don't even know where I am at in this building. In case you have forgot you pompous ass I was kidnapped by a ghost, thrown in a room, met the female ghost that is haunting this place and to top it all off now some beast man thingy has decide I'm the next target thanks to that Tamaki person controlling him."

Naru sighs knowing that he wants tea anytime soon he will have to go with her. Looking at Gene "You can return to base and I will accompany the idiot danger magnet to the kitchen so that her highness does not get herself in to trouble again"

Mai huffs and responds with "Show me the way oh dark over lord"

Gene on the other hand finds it funny that instead of sending him with Mai his idiot scientist of a brother decided that he would accompany Mai and by himself none the less, I can't wait to tell mother!

Mai's POV –

I can't believe that Naru is going with me to make his tea, usually he makes someone else escort me to the kitchen. Scrunching her eye brows together she tries to figure out why Naru would go with her to retrieve his tea.

Naru side glances at her and can tell she is in deep thought "What is it Mai, spit it out already"

Glaring "I was just wondering why you came with me. Most of the time you would waste the time escorting me to the kitchen.'

Naru sighed "I thought I would get my tea faster and keep you from getting lost so that we may return back to base quickly. Plus there is no need for you to go missing again."

"Are you saying you were worried about me?"

"No just stating that an idiot like you would get lost."

"Hmph. Narcissistic. Jerk."

They finally arrived at the kitchen. In silence (do to Naru being an idoit).

Naru's POV –

I watched Mai as she went about making tea and assorted drinks for the rest of the crew members. She moved with a certain amount of grace that I didn't notice before. I would never admit this fact to her or anyone else for that matter. That's when I noticed that the back of her leg had a fine cut. I'm not sure when it happened but the blood was slowly flowing down her leg, therefore it had to have been right before or after I blasted the door off the old projection room.

Mai turned and looked at me with a raised brow. I think she is picking up my habits.

"You have a cut on the back of your leg"

"Really I don't feel it."

Sighing Naru motions for her to sit down in the nearest chair. "Let me clean it and see how deep it is, I cannot tell from here."

Blushing Mai does as she is told "I think that happened when I was trying to find a way out of the projection booth."

Nodding I sit down below her so that I can look at the cut wiping it clean and being as gentle as possible I prod around the cut to make sure it is not to serious.

Mai is as red as a tomato right now and when I let my eyes roam up her body I realize now that I have a clear view of her panties even though I was not trying to peak I couldn't help it. Her lacey pink and black panties are glaring at me under her school uniform. This is also when I take in to account that the cut was further up her leg then I anticipated. Looking to the side trying to regain control I simply say "it is not deep it should be fine just be sure to wash it really well when you shower."

Mai nods and resumes making all the drinks and in a matter of minutes is ready to leave for base.

AN: I know it is short but I have had a lot going on lately and this case is harder to pull together then I expected. Who knew Naru was such a pervert. Gene and Yasu would be so proud! Chapter 7 who is the real culprit behind the haunting and why does Tamaki want all the girls to leave the theater?

Pre view chapter 7:

Gene POV-

(While Naru and Mai are in the Kitchen)

I decided it would be best if I called Father Brown to check on Masako and see how she is doing. I had been slightly worried about her condition all day however in light of trying to help Noll find Mai I hadn't had much time to think about her.

Retrieving my cell I quickly dialed the friendly priest number.

"Hello Mate"

Grinning slightly "Hello Father Brown, I was calling to inquire about Masako's condition and see if she had sustained any life threaten injuries?"

"No, Fortunately she seems to just have bumps, scrapes and a mild concussion that Ayako says will be fine after a day or two of rest she will have to stay here at least until tomorrow. I no Naru will not be happy about that but unfortunately that is the doctor's orders."
