Ok, not cool! Me need reviews! I know my story's only been up for only about a week…but, I'd expect a few more reviews than this! ." PLEASE! REVIEWS!

Mai: Yes, please! If you don't review, Chii will kill me off at the end of the story by a random incident! I beg of you! For my sake! PLEASE! Oh, and Chii owns nothing Ghost Hunt-related. Enjoy!

Whatever it was that flew at me, wasn't as hard as I expected it to be, but it still hurt on impact. I fell to the floor clutching onto my head.

"Ow…" I said weakly as I lay on the floor rubbing my head. I looked up to see Tsukiki staring down at me, her face expressionless as usual. She then put a hand out to help me up.

"Sorry…" She said monotonically. She helped me back up, and picked up the object that was thrown at me. Apparently, it was one of her shoes.

"It's…ok, but why did you throw that at me?" I asked, a bit scared to ask.

"It wasn't exactly directed at you…I just thought it was one of my enemies coming in. Like my sister, or one of the other maids. I guess I should have known it was an outsider, because they would know better than to open my door without permission." She said. She put her shoe back in her closet.

"I see you've increased your doll collection." Noticing the new shelf on the wall. She just looked up from her book slightly, nodded, before looking back down. I looked at her book. "So…what are you reading?" I tried to look at her book when she slammed it shut before I got a chance to see what it was.

"There must be a reason for you being here." She said with a blank expression. "Now, what is it? If there's nothing more, you may take your leave." She got up and put her book back on her shelf.

"Oh, yes." I said. "I want to ask you some questions. It is to my understanding, that none of these experiences are effecting you at all. I just wanted to ask you, personally, if that is true." She just looked over at one of the shelves of dolls. Then she looked away and said,

"Have you ever just wanted your enemies to just…disappear?" She said this and looked at me, expressionless, but sadness still in her eyes. I just frowned a bit at the question. She just furred her eyebrows a bit. "Yes, I have been effected, somewhat. But, I won't go into details. Let's just say that Miyami doesn't enjoy the company here." My eyes just grew wider at the statement. She smiled a bit and simply said, "If there's nothing else, you may leave."

"No…" I started. "Nothing else."

"Oh, before you leave, I have something for you." She walked over to a desk that had some box on it. She handed said box to me. I was going to open it when she stopped me. "Don't open it yet. Wait a while before opening it. Also, make sure you open it around your friends. I think they'll enjoy it as well." She said all of this with the same expression and tone of voice. I hesitantly nodded, before turning and walking out of the room.

I closed the door behind me, experiencing the strange feeling of someone staring at you from behind. I shook it off, and started walking down the hall, when I heard a strange sound, like footsteps behind me. I whipped around, but saw nothing. I had just gotten to the top of the staircase, when I heard it again, but this time louder. I looked down the hallway, and saw a small girl, sitting at the end of the hall. She was wearing a white dress, and had pink hair. She was carrying, what looked like, a doll that had been just previously bought. I just stared at her as she stood up and looked at me. Well, she was making it seem like she was looking at me, for there were no eyes, just black pits. Black pits that, if they stared long enough, would burn holes in my eyes.

"Miyami! You must leave this place!" I shouted. "You are not welcomed here!" She just stood there. Then, without hesitation, she was running towards me. I stood my ground and went to perform the Nine Cuts on her, but, instead of attacking, she just stood in front of me. She had blood all over her. It was dripping all over the floor. But, more than the blood, I noticed the tears streaming from her face. I softened my glare as she looked up with me, not with black pits anymore, but with bright, blue eyes. She opened her mouth to speak.

"Please…please, forgive me. I never meant to hurt all those people. My father, he tortured me so much. He beat me and mother. He sent rumors to the school about me, which started the humiliating scenes. I only wanted to teach them all a lesson…" She then put on a slight smirk. "They all needed to be taught a lesson. So I trapped their souls inside those dolls. But…" She frowned a bit more. "I know now, that what I did was wrong. Before I realized this, I had convinced Tsukiki that all humanity was evil, and needed to be taught a lesson. So I taught her how to transfer spirits into inanimate objects, such as dolls. But, now that I taught her this, she won't stop until everyone is trapped. I never meant for this to go this far. I just wanted some people to be taught a lesson. And, that box you holding, I want you to open it." She gestured towards said box. I was a bit hesitant at first.

"Do you know what's in it?" I asked, not really wanting to know the answer. She just smirked. I nodded in understanding. I opened the box slowly, to find what I was expecting to find: a doll that resembled myself. I just looked at the girl, who was now twice her size and lulling over top of me. I jumped back at the sight.

"Fool!" She said in a demonic voice. "Did you actually believe that I never meant to hurt anyone!" She raised her hand over top of my doll and the doll stood up in the box. I dropped the box and started running down the stairs. I was about halfway down, when something pushed me. Naturally, I fell the rest of the way down.

"AHHH!" I screamed as I tumbled down the flight of stairs, painfully. I wretched in pain as I hit the bottom of the stairs. I lay there on the floor, twitching in pain. I don't know how, but I somehow had the doll that was made for me back in my hand. I saw Miyami come up beside me and kneel down to speak with me.

"So…" She started. "How do you like your doll? I had Tsukiki made it special just for you. You know…you look so much like her…" She said through her teeth. She tried to take the doll from my hand, but I somehow managed to swipe it away from her grip. She smirked and said, "Bad move…" She flung herself forward and gripped my neck tightly.

"AHH-!" I was cut off by the choking sensation of her gripping my neck. I just happened to hear someone yelling my name, but didn't know who. Then I heard the Nine Cuts being recited, and the grip around my neck disappearing.

"MAI!" I heard two voices yell. When I came back to reality, I knew who it was. Naru and Jun had made it just in time to stop Miyami in the act. Naru knelt down quickly and embraced me tightly. I could have sworn I felt a tear drip on my hand, so I looked up and noticed his face was a bit moist from a single tear. I, in turn, started sobbing myself. I buried my face into his shirt and sobbed. Jun just knelt down beside me and started stroking my back lightly, as Naru tightened the embrace between us. When I finally calmed down enough, I reluctantly moved away from his embrace. Jun looked over and noticed something laying on the floor.

"Hey…what's this?" She got up and walked over to the object. She picked it up, and her face just went completely white. I tried to get up, but failed miserably. Naru helped me up this time and I walked weakly over to Jun. She just looked at me with sorrowful eyes. I reached over and took the doll from her.

"I think…" I started. "I should hold on to this." Jun just dropped her head slightly.

"Mai…" Jun started. "I don't think that's such a good idea. If that's Miyami's way of hurting you, I don't think it should even be in existence." I was weakly leaning against Naru, trying to gather up the strength to speak again.

"I know." I said. "But… If I keep it in possession…Miyami might not be able…to get a hold…of it…" I was waving in and out of consciousness. The last thing I remember was being lifted off my feet, and rushed into a room.

I was in the second-floor hallway of the house.

"Where am I now?" I asked myself. Just then, I heard a cry in pain coming from up the hallway a bit. I rushed towards the room said sound came from. I unconsciously went "through" the door to the room and stopped dead in my tracks.

"STUPID CHILD!" a voice rung out. "I TOLD YOU TO STOP MAKING THESE DAMN DOLLS! THEY'RE A WASTE OF TIME!" The man picked up his trembling daughter by the collar of her shirt and threw her against the wall. I cringed at the sight.

"STOP IT! PLEASE!" I screamed. The man turned around and glared at me. He then ran towards me and gripped me by the neck. He picked me up in the air and started slamming me against the wall. I struggled to break free, but failed. I then heard the man cry out in pain, and let go of my neck. I dropped to the ground, gasping for breath. I looked up only to see the young child running a pair of sewing scissors into the man's side.

"YOU….Little…" the man managed to say, before rushing out the door. The child just dropped to her knees in the middle of the room and started sobbing.

"You'll pay…" She said. "You'll ALL pay!" She threw the sewing scissors towards me unconsciously but everything faded before they reached me.

I was still on my knees gasping for breath. I then felt a hand on my back, rubbing up and down. I looked up to see Gene staring at me with a concerned look.

"Gene!" I exclaimed, before wrapping my arms around his neck, and sobbing silently. He just wrapped his arms around me softly and consoled me.

"I'm sorry for not pulling you out sooner." He said. "I just thought it would be appropriate for you to see the full scene. I apologize." He said. I just looked up at him and said,

"It's fine. It's just a bit frightening to see a child and her mother treated like that." I looked back in the direction of the scene. Gene just leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my cheek. I looked up at him and he just smiled.

"Time to wake up now." He said. "I promise you'll be safe as long as your connection from the doll Miyami gave you and yourself doesn't break." I nodded and everything faded away again.

I opened my eyes slowly. I managed to turn my head slightly and look over to find Naru asleep in the chair next to me. I smiled at the sight and noticed Jun asleep on the window seat. I sat up extremely slowly as to make sure not to injure myself anymore. I walked over and placed a nearby sweater over Jun's shoulders, and walked back over to Naru. I noticed his jacket laying on the floor and I bent down to pick it up, when I lost my balance and fell sideways. A pair of hands braced my fall. When I finally regained my composure, I noticed Naru holding on to me frantically.

"You should really be more careful when you're injured. I thought you were smarter than that." He smirked. I was too tired to argue with him, so I just smiled lightly. He helped me back up and was going to help me back to the bed, when I stopped him.

"If it's ok with you, I'd like to sleep the rest of the night…in your lap." I requested. I blushed a bit at my request, but felt a bit better when I noticed a small bit of redness in Naru's face as well.

He led me over to the chair, and carefully placed me in his lap. I just laid my head against his shoulder and cuddled up against him. I looked up at him and smiled lightly, which in turn, he smiled at me as well. And not just a regular smile. A sincere smile that I would remember for the rest of my life. I then, without thinking, lifted myself up and captured our lips in a passionate kiss that I would also remember for the rest of my life. We stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity before we both simultaneously fell asleep.

Well, there ya have it. Sorry it took me so long to update. School and after-school stuff interfere with my life…ugh…hope you enjoyed. It seemed like I rambled a lot on this one again. So, if it seemed like that, I apologize.

Mai: Took ya long enough…Injure me enough? Oi…R&R and Comment! ^_^

Chii: Ciao! ^_^
