* MAI POV *
All I could see was darkness. I was surrounded with it. It was suffocating me. Tears were still rolling down my face but at least I could blink, cry, scream and move now.
I finally opened my eyes to see more darkness and I let out a cry of pain. A pain of what I had just been through. A pain I still felt. I looked down at my stomach after realising that my shirt was still open and screamed at what I saw. I couldn't stop screaming and crying. I couldn't help but hope this was a dream but I knew it was real.
This really did happen to me.
I was curled up in the darkness and gasped when I saw light and warm arms wrap around my shoulders bringing me closer to the figure in the light.
I tried to pull away until I noticed it was Gene and he looked as terrified and as sad as I had ever seen him and that scared me.
I threw myself at him but gasped in pain as the wound on my stomach came in contact with him. He grabbed my shoulders and stepped back before looking at my stomach and gasping in shock himself.
He looked like he was about to cry and then suddenly he let go of my shoulders and gritted his teeth. He now looked like he could commit murder.
I couldn't think straight, I brought my hand to my stomach where I found etched into my skin the words 'you are mine'. I let out another sob before collapsing to my knees. Gene came down with me and held me while I cried.
He tried to calm me down "I'm so sorry. I tried to pull you out of your body and into a dream but something seemed to be blocking me." I felt his hand stroking my back and trying to calm me down. It did help to know I wasn't alone this time but the pain was still running through my body.
"So much pain" I choked between my sobs. "It hurts so much".
Gene seemed unsure of what to do and I would feel sorry for him if at the moment I could think of anything else but myself.
"Why? Why did they do this? I . . . I thought I recognised him but I . . . I don't know where from" my voice was barely audible between me shaking so much and my crying "I just felt so much fear".
I cried louder and I felt as though my tears would never stop.
I glanced up at Gene and saw a tear slide down his face I reached up and wiped it away while wincing from the pain in my stomach. He grabbed my shoulders again and hugged me as though I was his life line. If he was alive I mean.
"I'm so sorry Mai. I couldn't do anything. I tried to do so much. I . . . I'm really sorry!" his voice cracked at the end and I gripped his shirt as though it was my own life line.
"It's not your fault Gene, he . . . that man said he would find me again. Oh god! Please tell me I'm already dead Gene . . . I don't think I could go through that again! He said he would do so much more next time" my voice cracked and I practically screamed the last sentence at him.
I seemed to be getting into the angry stage now.
He glanced down at the floor then stood up pulling me with him. I winced at the pain and suddenly remembered my shirt was open in front of him. I felt a little blush creeping along my cheeks and struggled to close my buttons with my shaking hands.
Gene stepped closer to me and gently pulled my hands away. He finished buttoning my shirt and his hands seemed to linger over my wound. He let his hands go limp at his side as he looked back up to my face.
"Mai, you must wake up. They're getting worried about you". His voice started to fade and the blackness was once again beginning to surround me.
My eyes fluttered open as a gasp escaped from my lips then quickly shut again at the blinding light. I opened them more slowly this time but still had to squint against the light. I searched the room and realised I was at the hospital. I tried to move my hand to rub my eyes and found I couldn't.
When I looked at my hand I realised some one was holding it.
Luella Davis, Naru's Mother was holding onto my hand, I felt tears in my eyes at her caring so much for me. I gripped her hand tighter and she sleepily lifted her head to look at me.
As soon as she saw I was awake she was out of her seat and hugging me. I could see tears in her eyes and my own started spilling out.
"Oh! Dear, I'm so glad your awake, I didn't think you were ever going to wake up". She kept repeating over and over as though she didn't believe it to be true.
I gave her a quick squeeze back before crying out in pain. She quickly let go and her hands were hovering over stomach "oh I'm sorry did I hurt you, I forgot what happened". I could see her eyes shining with unshed tears and bit my lip while shaking my head.
"I don't understand. What happened?" Luella glanced to the door then back at me.
"Well . . . we had a call from Bou-san, he seemed very concerned when you didn't answer his phone calls. He wanted me, Martin and Madoka to check on you because you were a bit worried last time he spoke to you. So we went to your apartment but you weren't there and there was so much . . . blood" she seemed to choke on the word and I winced as the memory of what happened came crashing back into my mind.
I suddenly found it very hard to breath, I gripped Luella's hand as she began to shout for Martin to get the Doctors. I heard rushing around and voices but couldn't really pay attention to everything.
Memories kept rushing through my mind and I screamed whilst holding my head in my hand, I heard people calling my name and realised that I was crying and once again back in the hospital room with Doctors, nurses, Naru's parents and Madoka watching me with horror and shock on all of their faces.
I felt both of my hands being lightly squeezed and some one stroking my back, all of them trying to calm me down. I suddenly felt sleepy and could feel my eyes being closed, I glanced towards one of the doctors to see that he was injecting me with something. That brought another round of fear and my eyes widened and I cried out before falling to sleep.
The next time my eyes opened I wasn't confused about what had happened and my hand flew to my stomach making me wince in pain.
I felt a hand gently tug mine away and I looked up to meet the eyes of Martin Davis. He looked tired with deep bags under his eyes and a small smile that I was sure he was forcing. I slightly smiled back and he helped me to sit up.
"Thank you" I licked my lips and cleared my throat after hearing how hoarse my voice sounded. Martin frowned slightly and looked around for something, he hand me a small bottle of water and two small blue tablets. I frowned at them then looked at him questioningly.
He smiled and gently said "they're pain medication, it would seem your wound is healing a little slowly then the usual does. You have to take these every time it starts to hurt you."
I bit my lip and nodded at him before taking them "do they know?"
He was watching me and when I asked that he seemed to look at confusion "do who know what?"
I glanced down at my hand which had unconsciously ended up on my stomach again "about what happened to me?"
I didn't look at him but I felt him move slightly "yes".
I didn't say anything else just nodded. I looked up as the door opened and in came Madoka followed by Luella who was talking to my doctor. When they noticed I was awake they all seemed to brighten up and Madoka practically ran to hug me making me once again wince in pain.
She jumped back "sorry I keep forgetting, I just don't understand why some one would do this".
I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to hear the last bit or not because she said it so softly "neither do I Madoka".
Everyone seemed to stiffen and the air got tense. Luella moved closer to the bed and peered curiously at me "you don't know who did this to you Mai?"
I shook my head in confusion "no why? Should I?"
The air seemed to get tenser and I glanced around in confusion at the people occupying my room. It wasn't long until the doctor stepped forward and smiled cheerfully at me "of course not Miss Taniyama, we just don't know what happened to you".
I glanced at him curiously "oh". I was more shocked that he had spoken Japanese to me instead of English. Madoka seemed to understand she grabbed my hand and smiled at me "we asked specifically for a Doctor who could speak Japanese, we thought maybe it would make you more comfortable".
I smiled back and nodded in understanding "thank you Madoka".
I tensed when the doctor came closer with a needle in his hand and everyone seemed to freeze as they noted the fear in my eyes.
The tense silence was broken by Martin "that explains the needle in the corner of your apartment then, did they inject you with something". I nodded slightly at him but didn't take my eyes of the needle.
The doctor sighed before putting it away "the needle would help you with the pain".
"I know, but . . . I just can't . . . I'm sorry" I wrapped my arms around myself as though it was the only way to stop myself from shaking or running in fear.
The Doctor nodding in understanding and I relaxed slightly "very well, the needle would only make you sleepy anyway which isn't good when you have a plane to catch".
My heart skipped a beat and I glanced at Madoka questioningly.
She smiled at me and nodded "Martin and Luella are coming with us to Japan so we have the use of their private jet".
I glanced at Luella and Martin and once again felt as though I was going to cry "thank you, thank you so much". They nodded at me and for the first time I trully smiled at them. That seemed to ease a lot of the tension out of the room and Martin patted me on the head "you need to let the Doctor check your bandages then you must get dressed. I'm sorry for the rush but I just want to get you back to Japan as soon as possible."
I smiled gratefully at them before they left leaving me with the doctor and Madoka. Just as she was about to leave I grabbed her sleeve "please stay with me".
She opened her mouth then closed it when i glanced at her pleadingly. She sighed but nodded and grabbed my hand "don't worry Mai, you're safe now".
The doctor peeled the bandage off gently and I made sure not to glance down. I was watching Madoka at first but the look she made as she realised what stomach looked at made me want to puke all over her so I decided to watch the Doctors face.
I was glad that he was well trained because he kept his face emotionless as he checked me over. It hurt a lot but he made sure to be quick, cleaning the wound then re-bandaging it and I made sure to bite my lip so I wouldn't cry out.
He handed me a bag "this is supplies you'll need, there are bandages and the cleaning products I've used. There's a numbing cream which should help you a lot and there are plenty of pain medication. I want you to make sure you use these otherwise I'm not sure if it will heal right". I nodded and hugged the back to my chest.
Madoka patted my head and grabbed the bag "I'll make sure she uses it don't worry Doc". He smiled at her then left mumbling something about signing documents.
I glanced at Madoka who was watching my every move and I squirmed nervously all of a sudden feeling self-conscious. She smiled slightly but it didn't last long as my next question seemed to upset her dearly.
"Madoka . . . was . . . is it that bad?" I watched her face and a flash of pain crossed her face before it disapeared.
"I won't lie to you Mai, It wasn't good. I just don't understand why some one could do something like this. We were told the doctor had to do a rape text because of the way they found you but they wouldn't tell us the results because we weren't family." She looked slightly angry and scared at the same time and I frowned at her.
"Madoka you're the only family I have left. You, Mr and Mrs Davis and the rest of SPR are all my family." She seemed to relax but I new she wanted and answer "no they didn't do anything like that" I paused slightly then carried on "he kissed me" I moved my hands to hover over my lips.
"I didn't want him to I couldn't stop him, I tried to hide but it's a small apartment. I was under the bed when the three of them came in" she gasped at that and wrapped me in a hug.
I could feel tears fall down my face and I felt a drop land on my head which told me she was crying aswell "Come on Mai, you don't have to tell me this. The Police will want to know but I have a feeling it's something more then they can handle" I nodded slightly and she carried on "lets get you dressed so we can make our escape" she shuddered "I hate hospitals".
I shuddered with her and nodded my head "so much pain and death" we glanced at eachother and laughed slightly. We had both finished the sentence together.
The jet was bigger then I expected considering it was the Davis private one. I didn't have many things to bring, only two medium size suitcases full of my clothes. Luella and Madoka frowned at seeing this and they seemed to communicate silently with one another.
"Shopping" they both said at the same time. I was dreading the day they would actually follow through with that promise.
I fell asleep on the flight but regretted it immediately. It seems that without the drugs in those needles the doctors were giving me my nightmares kept repeating themselves over and over.
I was missing my usually dreams of other peoples lives. I didn't want to keep dreaming this.
I was there again on the floor with the violet eyed man standing over me. Touching my skin, making it feel as though I was on fire and not the good way either. I cried and screamed but nothing I could do stopped him.
I awoke with a scream and tried to slow my breathing down. I wiped the tears from my face to try and focus my eyes. I noticed the Davis's looking at me with worry etched into their faces and Madoka was next to me telling me to breath.
I glanced at Madoka's face "I'm sorry" my voice sounded strange, like it didn't even belong to me but to a little girl who was scared out of her mind.
Madoka didn't say anything but after a quick glance at Naru and Gene's parents she hugged me "never say your sorry for something you didn't do" she scolded me gently.
I could only nod as a reply as the tears again seemed to not want to stop. I was sick of crying. I hadn't cried this much since my Parents had died.
This trip was taking too long. I stared out the small window and watched the clouds fly by. I tried not to think of anything, it didn't work of course but every time I went down a thought that would lead to a bad one I would stop and sing.
Music always calmed me, my Mother used to always sing to me after I had a nightmare. Of course now I understood that my nightmares were actually ghosts pasts. I grimaced at the thought of having more but it was a relief that maybe, just maybe I wouldn't have nightmares of that night.
I sang to myself until I saw the one thing that made all my thoughts disapear but one. The jet was going to land and I was going to SPR to see all my friends.
I smiled and looked at Madoka "do they know we're coming today?"
Madoka flashed me a mishchevious grin that confused me "no they don't, so won't this be a surprise".
I've realised that my Ghost Hunt chapters are a lot longer then my Tokyo Mew Mew ones. Don't ask why :/
Please R+R :D tell me what you think . . . even if it's just one word I would like all my readers input please : )
