Protector of SPR

Chapter 13

There are things that can't be done and some things that can't be said. Time and time again I did this. And I even knew that I shouldn't, but I did anyways. And where did this get me? it got me here. Here in this living hell. Or in this lonely darkness that I could call a cage. There are times when these things can't be helped though and you know this. That's why you do them.

I sat in the darkness that I was sure wasn't supposed to be there. But then again I was sure that I was supposed to be there. That was when I realized that I was still sleeping. But how could this happen? I was in an empty space that couldn't be avoided as long as I was determined to be among the living again. Though I knew that was highly unlikely. And even if I do it would just end up being alone for the rest of my life. I was sure of that. Though I couldn't really tell. i suppose it could happen but I would be alone again anyways. Perhaps I would live with my friends children and grow up with them and become friends with. I seriously hoped that wouldn't happen. Not because I wouldn't be able to handle it but because they (as in my original friends) would die before me and I wouldn't be able to stand that. It would be to much of a emotional hazard for.

So with renewed determination I woke myself up I was greeted once again with a blinding white light that would always seem to be there every time. I was actually starting to get used to this.

I sat up on what I thought was the floor. Well that was what it seemed to be. I had no Idea what to call it. It seemed that I was almost flying but I pushed that thought away from my mind and I stood with ease. Something told me that I would be able to deal with what was coming my way to day.

I thought of the gang as I let the energy around me swirl. It certainly was getting much easier. I wasn't even trying. I guess Gene was wrong when he said that it would be harder then when I was first starting. With an ease that I was glad I had been able to find in the short while I was awake I walked waited as everything started to come into view.

Looking around the around I was glad too see that I was in fact in the SPR office and not in some other country. I placed my hands out in front of me and was annoyed to see that I was see threw. I guess that was my next priority. Try and find out how to make it so I wasn't see threw anymore. I hadn't been paying attention when I was able to become a solid, or almost solid form from the last time but I was sure that I was able to because of the whole out of control emotions thing. Ii walked out into the sitting area to find that Ayako and monk where sitting there on the couch. I walked over to them and waved a hand in front of their faces only to find that they weren't able to see or sense me. well that was just great. But what was funnier was the fact that they, even as ghost hunters weren't able to even sense my presence. How pathetic was that. But I could guess it was because I wasn't their stereo-typical type of ghost.

I walked over to narus door and was about to open it when I heard voices coming from behind me reminding me that If I were to open and close the door I would only draw attention. And quite honestly I really didn't want to be cleansed again. I shuddered as I looked back to the first day I had realized that I was dead. And the when they had done the cleansing. Ya not the most pleasant experience in my life. I sighed and walk through the door to find Lin and Naru talking to an older couple. They were in their late forties and looked to be English if their hair color was anything to go by. The lady had soft blond curls and the man had grey hair with a few stands of black still there. I immediately recognized them as Naru's parents from the one or two glimpses I had gotten of them when we had found Genes body. Martin and Luella Davis. Naru looked like he was about to explode with annoyance. I almost laughed but was able to restrain myself.

I waited till they left to make myself known to the two remaining people in Naru's office.

Focusing on my voice I decided to start with a low quiet hum in order to see if I was able to get it to actually work. It took a bit but I was able to hear it slowly come around me and fill the room. It wasn't quite noticeable to the other three but it was there. It echoed a bit more and I focused harder on it in order to get it louder. It cracked a little but it finally became loud enough to get Lin and Naru's attention.

They looked up in shock and looked around the room to find the source of the odd sound. I laughed a little and they fixed their eyes on what they assumed was the place it came from. They were pretty close but they weren't looking at me properly and almost looked blind. I walked away from the door and sat down in one of the chairs that resided in front of the desk.

Projecting my voice once again I knew it would be a little sketchy but I was determined to actually get this time. And without having to make myself whole again. Maybe this way I would be able to stay a while longer. "So what was that about you two?" I asked. My voice faded in and out but all in all I was pretty impressed with myself.

"Mai is that you?" Asked Naru. He looked skeptical.

"I thought you didn't like stupid questions." I said a smirk on my face.

He scowled. I laughed. And Lin smirked.

"So are you going to answer my question?" I asked.

"Why would you want to know?"

"I don't know. You just looked really annoyed. I just wanted to know what your parents did to deserve that kind of reaction from you." I said casually.

"We were talking about a new upcoming case." Lin butted in before the vein in Naru's head could explode.

"A new case?"

"Yes Mai. Can't you hear properly?" the sarcastic jerk said from his place behind his desk. I sighed.

"Yes I can Naru.

"Anyways." Lin cut in again. "This case was brought to us from England and Noll's parents want the whole team to go over there to solve it. That's why they were here."

"I see, so what was your answer?" I asked letting my curiosity get the better of me.

"I really had no choice in the matter. We had to take it. The owners of the home are close family friends. I had tried to reject them about a month ago but that was what my mother and father came here to discuss with me."

"Well if they are close to your family I see no reason for you not to go."

"No you wouldn't. but the thing is that they have a daughter that apparently loves me."

"I would have thought that you would have been all over the idea to go where your fans are.

"No never. And my parents seem to think that I should get a life and court her. I'm afraid they want me to marry her. Which I have no intentions of doing of course but I don't want to go because of this. that and the case will be extremely dangerous."

"Come on she can't that bad." I said hiding the evident worry in my voice. I had no intentions of letting this girl marry Naru! Not in my life time and not in any life time!

"She's very clingy."

"Oh." Was all I could say. There was a pregnant pause before I switched subjects. "So what is this case about?"

"There is a ghost of some sort that attacks guests in the age range of 17 to 30. Though it never seems to attack any of their family members it seems that it will attack anyone that is in that rang and not of the family. There have been multiple disappearances already and no one has been found as of yet."

"Yikes. Sounds bad."

Another pause.

"How long has it been?"

"About three weeks." Was my immediate reply from lin.

"Are you guys counting now or something?"

"Yes. We have been." Said Naru as he looked up from a news report or something. I hadn't noticed him studying it before hand but now his attention was once again focused on where my voice was coming from. "The last time you materialized you left something material. You left a tear. We feel that your gifts are getting stronger."

"Well you've got that right. Though every time I leave I fall asleep so I don't have any time to practice them. And as soon as I wake up I always come straight to you guys. That's when I learn how to use the powers I have."

"We also feel that you aren't telling us something." Said Lin.

"What would make you say that?" I asked.

"Every time we see you different events happen. Big events."

"Ah. I know I've noticed as well. I haven't found anything out about that though. I need to talk to gene some more before I can tell you anything."

Another pause yet again.

"Well? Shall I see if I can go and make tea? I may need you r help though. And maybe I could scare the living day lights out of john if he comes into day…" I trailed of and looked over to see the two men smile. Truly a rare sight to behold. "Oh dear god their smiling! Someone help! This can only mean one thing! The world is ending! I pretended to cry making over dramatic sobbing noises but stopped when I heard the couple I the other room get up and knock on Naru's door.

"Naru? What was that?" Monk's voice was the one that floated through the wood to our ears.

"Shit! I didn't want them to know I'm here! Do they know?"

"Yes they do. We told them a few days ago about what happened in England. Plus the other times as well." Replied Lin, looking board.

"Oh that's great." I said rather sarcastically. "Come on in you guys its me!" I called

I was given the door opening so fast and hard that I was sure the wall was going to have a whole in it from the door knob. There in the doorway stood the entire SPR team.

yep I hope you guys like it! I'm sooo sorry I haven't updated in like forever. I kind kept putting it off. Remember I love to hear your ideas and thoughts! Oh and I was thinking of making its so mai could like bring gene back but I wasn't sure If I should or not. Let me know if that's what you guys want though I don't know if I like that idea or not.

I don't own ghost hunt and I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes. I know I hate them to but I cant be bothered to go through all my chapters to fix them
