I thank you all for you patience. I know I've been lazy,(no, more than lazy, but now I just can't find right word for it), and had too much in my mind,and I don't own Ghost Hunt.

Summary: (somehow I lost this one). Mai quits her work at SPR. But Bou and Ayako after one month is back asking for her help, due to fact that Masako is in hospital. other are nearly killed by Mais discover that water in well is toxic. Yasuhara gives information about previous inhabitants of house. In blue prints is shown one more room in basement. Mai leaves asking not to go there, but as soon as she's gone Lin and Bou heads to open closed door.

"No, no. Don't go there, please, don't ."

...

"What! There is nothing! And I hoped to see something more impressive." Bou-san growled.

"And what would be more impressive?" Lin asked carefully looking around.

"Oh I don't know. Maybe some cult place or something like that. This table and chair, that's all here is!"

"It's too clean"

"Clean? You call this pile of dust clean?" Bou-san was looking with big eyes to Lin.

"There's nothing in here. That's why I said it's too clean. Don't you think if here was doing on something there should be some evidence? This place, it was cleaned afterwards, so nothing would be found."

"If you put it this way. Yes, it is." Bou-san was looking around with different eyes now. "But still there is nothing odd about this place I wonder why Mai didn't want us to come in here?"

"Who knows. I doubt that even she herself realizes it." Lin said. They took some measurements and dragged camera in there, but after that they left basement with more question as they came.

...

"Temperature is normal for basement, maybe slightly lover than usual, but rather normal and we didn't saw anything that could indicative about something we would need to fear or investigate."

"I see." Was all Naru told looking at data Lin and Bou got.

"Ok, then I'm going to sleep!" Bou said.

"Oh and where will you sleep if I can ask?" Lin asked with teasing smile.

"You see that couch? That's mine!" Bou-san said and lied down. After five minute he was snoring soundly.

"Can we leave him here?" Lin asked Naru looking at sleeping monk.

"I think those few hours he can sleep like this. And he promised to monitor cameras tonight, so it's ok." Naru replied taking his coat and leaving room.

After 3:45 AM 21th monitor went white. But they discovered that only on morning when Ayako and Mai came in and found monk still sleeping.

"So that's how you're monitoring!" Ayako screamed so laud that Bou jumped up, and only then woke up.

"Yes, yes I'm. So what's for breakfast?" Bou- san asked with innocent puppy eyes.

"You idiot! You should be watching monitors not sleeping so soundly and above all asking for breakfast!" Ayako seemed furious.

Mai giggled, and handed him bag with something in it.

"Oh, Mai-san that's so nice of you! You thought about me!" His eyes sparkled.

"Actually, Ayako thought that you would like to have something for breakfast." Mai said with width smile on her face. Ayako blushed.

"I hope she didn't make this," Bou-san looked into bag worriedly, "that could even kill me you know."

Ayako turned read with anger and snatched bag out of Bous hands.

"Hey!"

"If you don't want it then I'm taking it back."

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just please give it back to me."Ayakos face got softer. "If you're the one killing me, I won't complain." Bou-san was speaking fast and nervously. If Ayako seemed to calm down hearing first part of his speech then hearing seconds she got furious.

Mai saw that and as she knew big storm was coming, she decided to try to calm it down.

"Now, now Ayako-san, he didn't meant to offend you, he just wanted to say, that if it's something you made then he would like to eat it. Right, Bou-san?" She gave him glare that seamed to say -Don't even try to say anything again it.

"Eh..., yes." Said confused monk.

"See. It's ok. He didn't mean any harm." Mai smiled at Ayako and Bou.

"Oh, ok." Said Ayako bit calmer and tossed bag back to Bou, who caught it lightly.

Few moments later came in Lin and Naru. Picture before they eyes were quite interesting, but in the same time normal like always. Monk was eating happily with mouth full, but Ayako and Mai had taken some files and sitting on couch were discussing them.

"Mai, tea!" Those were first words from Naru this morning. Mai automatically got up to go make him tea, then suddenly she turned over and asked: "But what about water?"

"It's there in can besides table."Lin explained. "We bought some with us this morning, especially for this purpose." Slight smile crossed his lips. He wasn't able to explain to Mai, that he himself were surprised this morning fining Naru with this can of water.

"This won't be poisonous." he had said, and what could Lin do, he took can, and put that inside car, still wondering why now Naru need water. He had gone without tea all this month quite well, but now he was even getting extra. Now he saw the meaning, but truthfully he doubted that even his boss, knows this answer.

As Mai got out Lin spotted 21st monitor.

"Takigawa-san, when did this happen?"

"When I woke up at 2AM it was normal, or at least I didn't see any changes, from previous. I was watching them I think till 2:30AM, and then I went to sleep. I woke up at 4 or 4:30AM, and then it was white. I went down, but there wasn't something out of order, temperature was a bit lover, than in rest of the house, but that's basement, so that could be normal. And as I couldn't figure out what and why has happened I decided to wait till morning and decide it with you guys.

"So it happened somewhere between 2:30 and 4:30."

"Probably, yes."

"We will find exact time when we will get tape of that camera." Naru said.

"Maybe opening that basement wasn't best idea after all." Bou- san said rather quietly.

"You opened the basement?!" Mai had come in best time she could, to hear that they hadn't listened to her. Now her hands holding Naru tea were trembling.

"Mai-san we're sorry. Yes, you told as not to do so, but we thought that there could be something that could help as solve this case. And if there was something then we need to know it, in order to end this case, and that's our goal, isn't it?" Bou-san was trying to explain his action and reasons. He took cup out of Mais shaking hands and put it on desk in front of Naru. Meanwhile Ayako took Mais hand and sat her down on couch.

"Mai, why don't you tell as why you didn't want that basement to be opened?" Ayako asked as calm as possible, kneeling in front of still trembling girl.

"I...I'm not quite sure, but I have this feeling, that if it's open, then things will go worse."

"So it's you intuition, right?"

Mai nodded, but Ayako looked at Bou and Lin. They eyes met and they knew that Mai was right, it had gotten worse and first sights were visible. In front of them were glowing white 21st monitor.

"Ok, sorry, but what's one is done, we can't change it, and maybe darkness is deepest right before dawn. I will go get tapes, so we could find exact time." said Bou and stumped out of room. Some time all was quiet. Naru was sipping his third tea and absentmindedly looking at documents and analysis in front of him. Lin was doing good knows what, and Ayako and Mai had gotten they hands on files and now were examining them.

"That's her!" Mai suddenly called out.

"What? Who?" Asked Lin and Ayako in unison. Lin got up and hurried to Mais said. Naru got up slowly, like showing that it won't run away, this information. Now in such a short time nothing will change.

"This is the woman I saw standing besides the well." Mai pointed at old small picture. There were man and woman standing in front of exactly that house and smiling happily.

"Are you sure?" asked Ayako.

"Yes, hundred percent sure. Even if this picture is blurry a bit, I know that she's the same person. You know there is time when you recognize someone even if that person is far, far away. That's the same, I just know that's her."

"So the culprit is her. One of two first inhabitants of this house. "Lin said quietly.

"Amanako Tokikyra. Got missing at age of 23."Ayako read. "Now we will be able to exorcise her."

Mai snapped out of first shock.

"Why hadn't you done that yet?"

"Oh, believe me we tried, but even John wasn't able to do it. So we thought maybe it's too powerful to be exorcised without knowing why it's here and who it is. But we even hadn't idea who are we supposed to look for." Ayako smiled at Mai with all her heart. She was so in exorcism mood right now. They hadn't spotted that monk coming in at taking part in they talk, or at least no one took it as something, that's why when he suddenly spoke all looked at him surprised like thinking when did he got here. Only Naru was exception of this.

"But even if we know who our ghost is, as far as we don't know why she's here, the reason why she's haunting this house we won't be able to exorcise her and even if we will success, then how can we report it to owners? They want to know full story. "He told gently. All were quiet, because they knew he had point on this.

"That's why we have Mai here. "Suddenly spoke up Naru. Surprised eyes turned on him. Then suddenly Bou-san burst out in laughter. Naru gave him icy glare and turned his attention back to paper in front of him, who was laying in Mais hands. All other members of team were looking at monk who continued to laugh for at least five minutes.

"Will you be so kind, and explain as now what's so funny?" Ayako asked with slight edge of irritation in her voice.

"Oh, you see...." monk started still half laughing.

"Can I see that?" All sitting on couch, that means Ayako and Mai jumped up for few inch. They had forgotten Naru standing right behind they backs, somehow they thought he was still sitting besides his table.

"What... What do you want?" asked Mai turning her head to him.

"This one." He said, bowed down and took file out of Mais hands. He, slowly going back to his table, started to read it. he didn't bounced in table or chair not a one single time. He didn't sit down, but leaned to window frame facing garden outside the window. Three pairs of eyes stared at him, so no one say Lin giggling. That lasted for only half of second thought. -You don't even suspect, what are you doing and why, do you?- he thought with little amusement. Then he turned over and went to check tape which Bou-san had taken out of malfunctioning camera. He found time approximately about 2:30AM and started slowly to roll it further searching for exact time and maybe reason for malfunction. Monk came and told him that nothing could be found on place, so the only hope was to find something on tape. While Lin was working Bou-san got back to his teasing self, remembering Narus words, why they need Mai.

"So Mai-chan would you like me to sing lullaby for you, or maybe you prefer bed time story?"

Since Naru sudden movement Mai hadn't been able to move and inch, but Bous offer called her back to reality.

"What? Why? It's morning. I don't want to sleep now." She said surprised.

"Oh, but did heard what Naru said. We need you. "He said putting accent on word 'need'. "Remember even Naru said it, so you should sleep, and find out why that woman is here." Bous eyes were filled with little devilish sparkles. "What? I didn't get you Bou-san. Explain it to me please.

Bou sighted.

"One of reasons why we need you here is to find out non-written circumstances of this case, referring to this ghost."

"And other one would be?" Ayako bumped in.

"Tea." Bou-san simply answered with too innocent eyes, and slight grin on his lips. Ayako and Mai didn't get him, but Lin who was listing with one ear had to suppress laughter. He saw clearly where the monk was heading. And maybe one because Naru was looking on Bou sans reflection in window last one didn't turn in to ice sculpture.

Ok so as you can see I had gotten in to writing mood a bit, ok truth is I have to put it on computer.
