A/N: Well after finishing chapter 5 I had a load of inspiration and got straight to writing chapter 6. Everyone seems to like this story and I am at a crossroads as to how many more chapters to do. I could end it really soon but I have the feeling that people would not be happy if I did that. So I am promising at least another 2 chapters after this one.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Hunt. Do you think I would be writing fanfics if I did?

Everyone sat in silence at the dinner table as they all mulled over their individual thoughts. The events in the garden had placed a new light upon everything. Paolo could for all they knew, be a murderer. They knew for certain that his grandfather's spirit was possessing him and that just made him even more dangerous.

Mai simply pushed her food around on her plate. The body had wiped away any appetite she had and her encounter with Naru had made her head hurt. Thinking about it was also making her sick. Mai eventually excused herself and slowly made her way up to the girl's room. Ayako had made a point of going with her, and no amount of protesting could get the miko to leave. When she had changed, Ayako sat her down on the bed.

"Are you okay?" she asked. Mai smiled and nodded before Ayako caught her face.

"Stop lying to me. Now there is no-one else here. What is wrong? You barely touched your food during dinner and I could cut the tension between you and Naru with a knife. Now spill. What's wrong?" she said looking in her eyes. Mai felt the tears before they spilled over her cheeks. She decided to tell the older woman the truth.

The whole time she was talking about the lip lock, Ayako was doing a mental dance.

'It's about time,' she thought happily. When the young part timer told her of the outcome however, Ayako wanted to go downstairs and shoot someone. Someone in black. She hugged the young brunette as she cried.

"Shhh. It's okay. We all know how much of an idiot Naru is. He was probably just scared about losing you," she soothed. "Besides, he's an even bigger idiot if he doesn't come up here and apologize. You are a great girl and if he doesn't feel for you, then he must be retarded or something." Mai smiled at the thought of Naru being retarded. After a while Mai wiped her eyes for the final time and got ready for bed.

Ayako simply watched her in amusement. The girl could go from crying to serious to bubbly in a matter of minutes. She knew she was right though. Naru really was an idiot if he let her slip through his fingers.

Eventually Mai climbed into her bed and Ayako bid her goodnight.

Mai snuggled under the covers and fell asleep.

Again Mai woke up in the study with the woman standing on the balcony. She felt someone approach and turned to find Naru standing right beside her.

"She seems happy," she said to him. He nodded and threw her a small smile. It faltered however at her next words.

"Then why did she kill herself?" He looked back to the girl as she finally stepped from the shadows. Light danced across her features and Mai gasped.

"That's me," she muttered. Indeed it was. For Mai it was like looking into a mirror. Same brown eyes, same brown hair, despite it being slightly longer, and basically the same physique.

"This explains why he was after me so badly," she said turning to Naru. His eyes were trained on the woman and Mai felt herself following his gaze. Just in time to see her slump to the floor.

"I'm sorry," she whispered. Mai felt tears gathering in her eyes until Naru placed a hand on her shoulder. He pointed to the shadows where a familiar woman stepped out. Long black hair swayed slightly as she stepped out.

"Kasumi," Mai gasped before she felt the world dissolving around her.

Mai opened her eyes as a ray of sunlight hit them.

'I must have slept through the night,' she thought. Mentally she was cheering. For once she got a good night's sleep. Now she didn't feel as crappy. She slowly got up from the bed and noticed Ayako and Masako on the floor again.

'I wish they'd stop giving me the bed,' she thought briefly. As Mai brushed her hair she remembered her dream.

'Kasumi!' she jolted up from the chair and ran out the door, completely ignoring the groans and protests Ayako slung at her. She turned a corner and saw Kasumi walking away from the guy's room.

'Naru,' she thought as she ran forward. Mai burst through the door to see Naru sitting up in the bed. She blushed as she realized he wasn't wearing a shirt.

"Can I help you Mai?" he asked casually. He lifted his glass of orange juice to his lips but before he could take even a drop, Mai slapped it out of his hand. Right onto Takigawa's head.

"Ow!" he yelled as the glass made contact. Mai took little notice as she gasped for air. Everyone else in the room had awoken at the monk's loud yell. Mai had just leapt across the bed and knocked Naru's drink from his hand.

"What was that for?" he asked dangerously of the brunette sprawled across his covered legs. Mai promptly realised where exactly she was laying and slipped off the bed. Anyone would have assumed she was blushing if her cheeks hadn't already been flushed.

"I asked you a question," Naru said as the others rose from the floor.

"Did Kasumi bring you that drink?" she said in reply. Naru sighed.

"What does that have to do with anyt-"he began.

"Just answer the question damnit!" Mai interrupted loudly. Naru was taken aback at her tone. She seemed almost desperate.

"Yes," he said eventually. Mai placed a hand to her head.

"Thank god," she breathed. John stepped up and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you okay Mai?" he asked kindly. Mai nodded and finally met the guys' gazes.

"Why'd you hit me with the glass?" Takigawa asked while nursing his head where a small lump was forming.

"I didn't mean to. I just had to get it away from Naru," she replied nervously. "And I'm sorry Bou-san." He smiled and shrugged it off. As Mai smiled back she could feel Naru's glare on her the entire time.

"Would you give myself and Mai a moment?" he said to the group. It wasn't so much as a request but a command. One by one the guys shuffled out and Lin closed the door behind them.

"So now are you going to tell me what that was about?" Naru said climbing from the bed. Mai flushed as she realised he was in only boxers. She turned around as he pulled on some clothes.

"I'm done," he said after a few moments. She turned back around to see Naru sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I saw who killed her," she said. Naru motioned for her to elaborate.

"It was Kasumi," Naru's eyes widened slightly at her admission. Now it made sense why Mai slapped his drink away.

"How?"

"She poisoned her drink. Wine to be exact," Mai explained. Naru nodded.

"So Kasumi's ancestor killed Isabella and led Paolo to believe she killed herself," he mused. Mai shook her head.

"No. The woman in my dream was Kasumi. There was no doubt about it," she protested.

"But that would make her fifty…two hundred years old!" Naru exclaimed. Mai's brow furrowed in confusion. She knew what she had seen but how could Kasumi, let alone anyone, be two hundred years old?

'Well Vurado came pretty close,' she thought back to their case for the prime minister. Both sat in silence for a moment before Naru broke it.

"So you think she would have tried to poison me?" he said. Mai nodded.

"I think she saw us….um before," she said flushing once again. Naru looked into Mai's eyes as she tried to make herself stop blushing.

"So you think she tried to poison me because I kissed you?" he said. Mai looked away and nodded. Naru stood and made his way over to her.

"If she is helping Paolo get to me, then you are a big threat. I think they believe you are trying to take me away from him," Mai elaborated. Naru put his hand on her cheek and turned her to face him.

"And what if I am?" he said looking into her eyes. Mai's breath caught in her throat as his gaze steadied on her.

"What if I am trying to take you away from them all?" he said moving a little closer.

"Then they will try harder to get rid of you," Mai breathed. Naru nodded. Inside, both their heads and hearts were running a mile a minute.

'Ah what are you doing?! Emotionless face. Emotionless face' his head thought.

'All you have to do is lean down a little more Naru,' another voice drowned out his head. Something he hadn't listened to in years.

'But what if she doesn't want to?' he answered back. His heart scoffed.

'Does she really look like she is about to say no?' Naru looked down and took in Mai's appearance. He was right. She wasn't about to refuse him. Mai's was more of a muddle.

'Is he going to kiss me again?' she thought.

'Well duh. Why would he be that close to you if he wasn't?' her subconscious replied.

'But he said the last one was a mistake.'

'Maybe he didn't-' Her inner voice was cut off as Naru leant down and placed his lips upon hers. Mai instinctively placed her arms around his neck as Naru wrapped his arms around her waist.

He pulled her closer as he moved his lips over her own.

'Yes. This is one mistake I could definitely get used to,' he thought in bliss. It took all of two seconds before Mai began fighting him for control of the kiss. The pair fought for dominance until Naru finally won out. Mai sighed into his mouth.

'Even if he says it's a mistake, I don't care,' she thought giving into the kiss. Naru moved down to place butterfly kisses on her neck.

Mai felt the pressure of his butterfly kisses increase but after a few moments a loud pounding on the door broke the spell.

"Hey you guys. Can we come in now? Some of us want to get changed," Takigawa called through the door. Naru broke away from Mai's lips but refused to let the rest of her go.

"I am going to kill them," he muttered as he leant against Mai's forehead.

"We really should let them in," she replied. Naru nodded begrudgingly and released her. She moved away from the door and Naru pulled it open.

Takigawa was the first to notice the death glare Naru was ever so subtly sending at him. He made a mental note to steer clear of the teen from now on.

"Thank you," John said as the three men came back into the room.

"Mai found out that Kasumi was the one who killed Isabella," Naru informed them as they rifled through their things. Mai noticed that he guys were waiting to get changed so she made a move to give them some privacy.

"I'll just come back later," she muttered. Naru followed her to the door.

"We still need to discuss something, so I will see you later," he said as she left. Mai nodded and continued on her way back to the girl's room.

Naru closed the door once Mai had gone from sight. He sighed and turned to find Takigawa staring at him intently.

"What?" he said to the monk. Takigawa just shook his head and headed into the adjoining bathroom. Lin had already changed and was awaiting any orders.

Eventually, Naru, Lin, John and Takigawa emerged from the room and headed to the base. They found Mai, Ayako and Masako already there. Mai was staring at the computer screens, Masako was sitting on the couch and Ayako was filing her nails.

"Well look what the cat dragged in," the redhead said as they entered. Naru and Lin just ignored her and made their way over to Mai and the screens. Takigawa however decided to engage the miko in an argument. Masako and John simply rolled their eyes at the pair.

Mai made a move to stand as Lin and Naru made their way over. She stepped to the side and suddenly felt the world go dizzy. She reached for the desk but failed miserably. Next thing she knew, darkness had claimed her.

Mai awoke to complete darkness. Not even Naru could be seen through the haze.

"Naru?" she called out. If this was one of her vision things he should be here.

"Hello," a female voice said from the dark, "Mai."

A/N: Well that's chapter 6. Sorry for not updating. My school has been driving me nuts with all these assignments. I have one for history, English, math, media, drama and legal. All of them are essays too. Wish me luck. See you in chapter 7. Read and review.
