Chapter 6

ME: Well, it Chapter six!

THAT PERSON NEXT TO ME: So, what's with the weird chapter title?

ME: Well, the title of the chapter should give some hint about what the chapter is about.

THAT PERSON NEXT TO ME: … oh. Well, anyways, Mynameiszigzag doesn't own Ghost Hunt.

ME: Yeah…

Lin and Abby walked back to the base, hand in hand. When they got to the door, Lin peeked inside. Her friends were gone, but some of the team was in there.

"I guess this is where we separate." Abby stated.

"Yeah." He released her hand and reached toward the door to push it open.

"Lin, wait." Abby whispered. He stopped and turned to her.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing. Come here." He closed the space between them and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What is it?" He asked.

She put her hands on his cheeks and brought his face down to hers.

"Thank you." She whispered, "For being there for me."

"Anytime." He lightly peeked her lips and let her go, walking into the base. She followed.

In the base, Ayako and Takigawa were arguing. It was something about who did their job better.

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN PUT ANY EFFORT INTO IT!" The miko yelled.

"WELL AT LEAST I GOT THE JOB DONE, WHERE AS YOU ONLY GOT HALFWAY AND GAVE UP!" Abby sighed.

"YOU PERVERT!"

"OLD BAT!"

"YOU STUPID PIECE OF-" Takigawa put a hand over her mouth.

"Let's keep the fighting to a minimum please." John asked.

"How about the fighting goes away altogether." Masako suggested.

Takigawa removed his hand only to have Ayako grab her purse and throw it at him. He ducked, letting the purse hit whoever was behind him.

"Ow…." Came a voice.

Everyone's eyes widened as Takigawa turned around. Standing there, holding a bleeding nose, was Abby. Lin turned and gasped.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry." Ayako repeated for about a minute.

Lin grabbed Abby's arm and made her sit where he usually sat.

"Get me some towels." Lin ordered Ayako, who was still apologizing.

She ignored him and continued her rant of 'sorry' and 'didn't mean to hit you'.

"GET ME SOME TOWELS!" Lin yelled, causing everyone to flinch.

Ayako scurried out of the base.

"You alright?" Lin asked Abby.

"Yeah. I've had worse." She smiled.

"Like what." Ayako returned with two handfuls of paper towels.

"My sister punched me once." ** She whispered as Lin snatched the towels.

"That must've hurt." He said, wiping away blood.

"Yeah. And I hit myself with a flag." ** She giggled.

"On the nose?" She nodded lightly.

"What does she have in that bag? Bricks?" Abby asked.

"Probably." Lin shrugged, "Alright, hold this one to your nose." She complied.

Lin looked at the people around them. No one was paying attention. He smirked and quickly kissed her forehead. She blushed.

"Thanks, Lin." She whispered, "Again."

"No problem."

An hour after the whole purse incident, everyone was in the base. Naru was reading the case file, with Mai reading over his shoulder. Ayako and Takigawa were silent, for once. John, Masako, and Yasu were whispering to each other. Lin and Abby were at his laptop. Lin had regained access to his chair and Abby was sitting in a regular chair next to him. They were close enough to be holding hands without being caught. Her nose had thankfully stopped bleeding after five minutes.

"So, what's our next move?" Mai asked.

"We get the ghost to cross over, idiot." Naru stated.

"Okay, but how?" She asked.

"We get Abby to talk to her." Naru told them.

"No." Abby said.

"Why not?" Naru asked.

"Because I can't." She answered.

Naru glared at the girl. She glared right back.

"Why can't you?" He growled.

"Because it's not her."

"Wait, what?" Ayako asked.

"She's not what's after me." Abby explained, "This girl had no physic power at all. Before you guys showed up, she wasn't hostile. Something feels threatened by you guys."

"Naru," Lin announced, "The temperature just dropped."

Everyone stood up. Lin held Abby close to him. The ghost girl appeared at the door. She started directly at her.

"You!" The ghost yelled.

Abby inched behind Lin. The ghost yelled and flung Lin out of the way. He hit the wall.

"Lin!" Abby started to go to him but the ghost flung her to the opposite wall.

She got up as the ghost rematerialized in front of her. The ghost used an invisible force to hold her to the wall.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Abby yelled.

"SHUT UP!" The ghost yelled.

Suddenly, a large butcher knife appeared in the ghost girl's hand. Abby screamed as the cool metal slid into her lower abdomen. Then, they both disappeared.

The temperature returned back to normal after a minute. Lin was still on the ground, staring at the wall across from him. On the ground, there were a couple drops of Abby's blood.

He lowered his head, "Damn it." He whispered.

"Lin…" Mai took a step toward him.

"DAMN IT!" He yelled.

Abby woke up on the floor. She was clutching her knife wound. It had stopped bleeding while she was unconscious. The ghost was nowhere to be seen.

She looked around. There was a little light coming from somewhere in the room but she couldn't pinpoint it.

As she tried to get up, she slipped in some warm liquid and crashed to the ground. She lifted up her hand and tried to see what it was. She couldn't tell so she smelt it. It smelt metallic and coppery. Blood.

"H-hello? Someone?" She called out.

There was no response.

"Great. I'm alone, and injured. This isn't even close to being right." She mumbled to herself.

Suddenly, the lights came on. She was in the attic of the gym building. There was a puddle of blood surrounding her.

"What the…" Her voice trailed off.

The room was a mess. There were containers of gym supplies open and thrown everywhere. There was theatre equipment everywhere as well. Clothes, props, paint buckets, paint brushes, rollers, wood, hammers, other tools, everything was a mess.

"Gosh, I hope the place that a ghost dumps me is clean." She whispered sarcastically.

There was a creepy laugh coming from nowhere at her joke. The ghost girl appeared.

"Well, look who finally decided to show up." Abby joked.

"Shut up. You're finally awake now."

Abby raised an eyebrow, "How long was I out?" She asked tensely.

"A few hours." Came the reply.

"Oh."

The ghost girl disappeared and reappeared in front of her. She punched Abby right where her wound was, causing the injured girl to fly backwards. She hit the wall behind her. As her vision blacked out, she noticed that her wound started to bleed again.

"This isn't even close to being right." She whispered before blacking out.

* * Both of these events really happened to me

ME: End of chapter six. Everyone else is busy avoiding me for some reason. Oh well, it's not like I care. *sob sob* I'm not posting another chapter until I have 30-35 reviews. Have a nice life…
