Ok, lazy me is back and perhaps this will be if not the last chapter then the one before last definetly.(I think so :D )
I don't own Ghost Hunt, never had and never will have.
Mai and Ayako was sitting on couch waiting for rest of the team to come in smile and say that all is right. In place of that they got earthquake. Or at least it seemed like one, because it came form beneath they feat and shook the house. They looked at each other eyes and suddenly knew that both thought the same. Something must have gotten wrong. But that was impossible. Naru was always right! Could this be the first time we would be wrong? But thinking back Naru never said his opinion until he was 100% sure, and now what had he agreed? That that woman has caused trouble with technique and poisoned well. That she was imprisoned here and could be freed only when the spell will be broken. They got up and started to run.
"I'm going to garden!" Called Ayako and Mai nodded in agreement that she will go to basement.
When Ayako run through backyard door she saw a small disaster. Well seemed like it had exploded. It was totally destroyed. John was sitting on grass, leaning against some old tree holding his bleeding head. Some chip of rock had managed to hit him pretty had and now he was bleeding heavily, like all head injuries. In same time Lin was trying to get rid of some spirits, whom seemed to be attracted to them, but all he could do was to ensure safety of John and himself, but spirits came out of well and were circling around them. When Ayako came in the eyesight of ghosts, if ghost senses can be called eyesight, half of them too they chances with Ayako. They weren't more than ten, but they were really persistent. And more over, none of team here could understand what they want. It seemed like they wouldn't do any harm, but still, what you can know with ghosts. So all Ayako could do was keeping they away from herself as she run to Lin and John. As her parents were doctors she knew at least simple basics so she tried to stop Johns bleeding. Worst thing was that she wasn't so god when dealing with blood, it made her kinda sick, but all have they weaknesses. At least she tried and after some time and John robe sage as bandage she managed to stop him form bleeding, but he was still too weak to exorcise all those spirits, so Ayako started to do it herself. That took quite a time. –So that's why he wanted that I stay out of this.- She thought. As they were done more or less, considering that spirits were surprisingly willingly for exorcism, like they had been here for such a long time without possibility to go away that they were eager to leave this place. -Something not right- Lin thought, but didn't said it out loud, as he rarely told laud what he thought. They went around building helping John to walk. Surprisingly no one of them considered walking through the house even if that would be faster. The reason was because of sensation that that would be wrong, and because house was shaking. Not very much, but looking closer revealed it. Slight shaking, like something huge was trying to brake out. They managed to guest that the worst part got to Naru and monk. As soon as John was seated in car and Ayako continued to take care of him, because in reality she didn't want to go back to that house. Not now. Now thing got worse she didn't want to get hurt. And someone unharmed was needed in case of emergency. Lin ran back in house to see what he could do for three persons left in there.
The scene before Mai eyes were something similar to one Ayako saw. Monk was bleeding but still tried to do some exorcisms. But there weren't many ghosts as it was in backyard. No there was only darkness who tried to open old door form others side. Even monk had hard time dealing with it. Naru looked at Mai and growling screamed at her
"Get out of here! Now!" He wanted for her to be safe. But he somewhere deep inside his heart, he wished that all his team, yes in the same deep place he called them his team, to be safe. Or at least that was excuse he gave himself But now wasn't time to think about it, no one was safe here anymore. They had to break that spell, he tried to talk his mind in it, and as he was very self composed he thought he didn't made a mistake. And he presumed that otherwise they won't be able to end this case in time, as Mai had only two days free time, because now she worked in other place. He would never acknowledge that his office now seemed too quiet. He had never gusted that it could get on his nerves as all these years Mai had worked for him there was life in there, sometime too much life and he wanted more peace and quiet. But after this time if she would as to come back he would take her back. Of course, first of all he would tease her, but the result would be the same. She would come back and all would be like in the past. But now if she wouldn't get out nothing could be the same. Now he needed to get her out, other things could wait. Mon could handle this and if deadly needed he could help too. Lin would be furious, but if all was on the game, then he would use his power.
Mai stunned looked at door who were bouncing wildly against monks spell. Then she saw it. Malicious spirit behind the door. Cold shiver ran through her spine. This was bad. No this was worse that anything that ever happened in this house. It must have had been that what she was so afraid on this basement. She could tell why, but she saw woman spirit too clearer that usual, she was trying to keep that door closed too. No spell kept her here now, but still with all her last ghost strength she tried to help.
-We misunderstood her- Mai thought. She saw that her and monks straight got weaker and at that moment door bounced width open. All basement started to fill with suffocating dark gas. Mai started to suffocate. The more she tried to breath are in the more she suffocated. Her lungs started to fill with poisonous gas and like thousand needles it pierced in her lungs. But the more it pierced the more pain it caused, but the more pain it caused the more she instinctively too deep breaths. Seconds seemed like minutes and eve longer. They could hear each of they heartbeats. Mai was in worst situation. First she the most of gas, because she was standing exactly in the opposite door and gas flow right in her face, and seconds, because she was slowest of them all. If monk and Naru almost momentary understood that more breathing will get things only worse then Mai still was taking big gulps of now poisoned air. The biggest miracle was how they managed to get out of there. Last thing Mai felt were hands lifting her up and running with here somewhere. Bou and Naru had started to run approximately half second after door opened, but still had nasty stuff in lungs. Not talking about Mai who got it full portion and even more. They met Lin halfway running out. Lin understood situation immediately took Mai of monks hands and all of them luckily got out.
Ambulance was called for Mai and John, monks' palms had stopped bleeding and he ensured he doesn't need any medical help. He even refused help form Ayako joking, that if she will help him he will get even worse.
John was still conscious, and thankfully his bleeding had stopped, but still he looked pail and close to fainting. Mai was unconscious, and all they could do was trying to retrieve her breathing. Thankfully ambulance came fast, as it happens rarely, but they were informed about suffocating girl, so they hurried. They took Mai and John, plus they treated Bou-san wounded palms, which had cuts that looked like three deep nail trails.
When Mai and John were taken away Bou –san turned his head at Naru and left his mouth half open with words on his lips. He was silent for couple of minutes because look what Naru gave ambulance car that drive fast away was maniacal, and in thrut it even scared monk. It lasted only for less than minute after that it got cold again. But it seemed colder than normal Naru cold glare. Monk only thought that it won' t turn on him. These glares cold kill, or at least scare to death.
"Lets go. We will take that ghost down." His voice was quiet and sounded more like an angry hiss.
"But..." Ayako stared but glare Naru gave her shut her mouth in moment. Lin was worried. Naru in such state was rare and this out of control he was for first time. What he could do was unknown. In reality he was afraid to tell him something now, but he knew he needs to calm him down. For Narus own good too. So he gathered all his might he could and said:
"She only wanted to say" he wasn't looking in his boss eyes that would be too dangerous, "that we need to know more about this ghost. That's how we work. That's how you like to work. Get all things clear." Seemed that his words had found hearing ears.
"Oh right! I totally forgot! I promised Mai to tell you that Madoka –san called and told that she and young man had found that man who was supposed to elope with Amanako. I promised Mai to tell you this before opening basement, but seem that it had slipped out of my mind. Sorry." Monk said.
"How are we going to contact her now if phone is inside that house? I won't go in there only to get phone. It seems like it emitting that suffocating gas all over it now." Ayako growled.
"Lin, get us some masks." Naru ordered. He seemed back in his normal self. More or less. Lin nodded in agreement but when he started to dig somewhere in car to find his wallet brakes squealed and some taxi stopped right in front of them. Out of drivers seat jumped out Yasuhara, from passengers seat slowly pail like seat crawled out original driver. Madoka jumped out for front passenger seat smiling like early spring sun.
"You sure drive fast!"
"You were the one who said that we need to get here as soon as possible" Yasuhara told her with smile.
"Can I have my car back?" Asked terrified taxi driver in shivering voice. He put his hands like begging in direction of Yasuhara. Last one gave Madoka questioning looked like he was asking –Do we really have to?- but last one nodded in agreement, so he gave man his key. Other side passenger door opened and man in his fifties stepped out of car. As soon as last one was out driver got in his car and drive away as fast as he could.
"He even didn't took his money." Madoka looked at car now far away with puzzled look.
"That only means it stay for us. Seems that we will be able to get you home with our money." Yasuhara smiled at man who was now looking at house in front of him, not at people who had gathered in front of it. Madoka was first who noticed silence who had dragged too long.
"Oh let me introduce you! This is SPR team I told you before, and this man is the one we were looking for. The one who know answers we need to know, Akira-san"
All of them looked at man who was in front of them and put it together with information they had heard from monk just now.
-He should be older, it's impossible that he's so young, he could be her son not the man she tried to escape with- thought at least three of minds. One was silent gathering information.
"It's a great honour to meat you, and I think I know what you are now thinking." He said. Monk and Ayako looked at him with shock, Lin and Naru was unreadable.
"You probably think that I'm too young for the role of lover eloping 50 years ago. And you are right. I'm not her lover, but still I think she loved me. She even stayed in this house to ensure I can have a normal life." Man was looking at house again, some reminders of old, old tears could be seem in his eyes.
"So you are her son." It was more like statement, then question from Naru. Man nodded his head in agreement.
"I don't get something" monk said. "Did I miss something?"
"I can tell you only what my grandmother told me. She were the one who wanted for me to know the truth. Father would had kept it from me, but granny knew that time when I will need it will come. Me, or my children. She told me all when I was 35 years old."
"I'm getting more and more confused" Bou-san said. He definitely was, because information he had heard didn't mention any granny or child. –Seems that that information has big holes or this man is lying, we will se that if he will tell us the truth but I don't know why he would lie. And those eyes he's looking at that house like he looks it with pain in his heart. Damn I'm confused-
Sorry I will end it here. Why? For copple of reasons. First one I want to post it was soon as possible and second - I just got headache. I will be waiting for your rewievs(opinions and thoughts)
