CHAPTER II: "A Monster wondering around"
Bou-san's P. O. V.
It's been a month and naru-bou had been rejecting cases for the pass few days. But a week after he came back he did accept three cases and was solved so easily since two of those were just a simple poltergeist done by the youngsters. But the last one was a bit too much for all of us.
*FLASHBACK*
Just a week ago, a woman maybe in her 30's came with a young boy who is 7 years old, to the office. Since mai isn't around, yasuhara became the temporary assistant of naru-bou.
"OH! Welcome to Shibuya Psychic Research, may I help you?" said shounen. Apparently all of us are here except for ayako. My wife is currently taking care of our son in her mother's house since my mother-in-law wanted to see her grandson so badly.
"yes, may I talk to mr. shibuya?" said the woman wearing a casual clothes, her hair is long and purely black the and dark blue eyes. While the boy has a brown hair and his eyes were the same color as the woman.
"that would be me, introduce yourself and state your case" said naru while yasu is guiding the client to her seat.
"My name is Naomi Satori and this is my son Satori Keichi, you see…a month ago…the boss of my husband lend us an old house, it's been unused for almost 6 years, I don't practically know the history of that house but since we were in need at that time we just accept it. But a week after, strange noise had began"
"what kind of noise?" asked yasu
"hmnn…a lot…but screaming, child crying, woman screaming for help and an evil laugh"
"is that all?" asked naru-bou
"actually no, 2 days after that writings in the wall began to appear and object moving and banging of doors, we also hear heavy footstep on night and the next day we would found a scratch by a wolf or a monster…please do help us…I can't take it anymore…please before they get my child…*sob*sob*" plead the woman who is now crying. Masako go over to her to comfort her, now she's doing the part of mai in comforting the clients but she isn't like mai to demand naru-bou to accept the case, she's just comforting the client.
"very well, we'll accept the case, please ready one room with a lot of outlet if possible as our base and 3 rooms for us to sleep to and we'll arrive tomorrow by 9 am just leave the other details to my assistant and yasuhara –san contact everyone, bou-san can ayako go?"
"thank you very much for accepting" said satori-san while bowing
"I think not, I'll just call her now to ask if she want to go with us" I said. I grab my phone and start dialling ayako's number.
*PHONE CONVERSATION*
"hello" said ayako
"Ayako…is everything fine ther?"
"oh! Housho, well…yes, shinta is very happy to see his grandma"
"that's good…anyway naru-bou just accept a case are you joining?"
"hmnn…maybe not since tomorrow I promise mother that we will bring shinta out"
"so you're going out tomorrow without me huh?"
"hehehe yup!"
"anyway, it's fine just enjoy…this case may be a little bit dangerous"
"really? Oh hosho be sure to be careful even though you're a monk!"
"I know…I'm not like mai who is a danger magnet"
"you may not be mai but still you said that case is a little bit dangerous that is why you all need to be careful! Is that clear! MR. TAKIGAWA!" shouted ayako from the other line. I heard shinta cry from the other line
"I understand Mrs. Takigawa that is why you don't need to shout and make our son cry, for goodness sake" I said
"then that's good"
"I'll just inform naru-bou that you won't be going"
"ok, I love you, bye…"
"I love you too, bye" I said as I press the end call button.
*END OF PHONECALL CONVERSATION*
I immediately go to where yasu and the client is. I notice the boy staring at me that is why I decide to talk to him for a while.
"hey, how old are you?" I asked
"7…"
"I see…so in your young age you already experience this kind of thing huh…"
"I'm not afraid of ghost but I'm afraid of monsters…"
"what do you mean?"
"you see…I can see ghost at the house but every morning I wake up there is blood in my wall saying 'soon…I'll come and get you' I think it's the monster who wrote it"
"don't worry we'll find out if it's really a monster that wants to get you"
"are you going to keep the monster away from me oji-san?"
"yup! I'll do my best to protect you that is why you need to be strong ok?"
"OK!" said the kid more cheerfully.
"Thank you for cheering him up, he's been like that for days that is why I decided to bring him along"
Said the mother
"oh…it's nothing, I'm used to kids anyways not to mention I have a son of my own that is why I'm used to handle kids attitude"
"I see…then we'll be going now"
"ok! Thank you very much, we'll see you tomorrow Mrs. Satori" said yasuhara. After that she left and all of us are wondering where will this case will go. Since it's the boss who decided to accept it and it's abit weird since he doesn't really like handling this kind of case and to add that nobody persuaded him to accept it, not even masako or his mother. Since we all need to pack for the case, all of started to go home except for yasuhara and naru-bou's parents and lin. Yasu will be finishing his job and some paperwork given by the boss while naru's parents will be leave together with naru-bou. Since Madoka and lin are married madoka will be the one who will pack their clothes. Well I need to go home now to pack my things and since ayako informed me that she and shinta will be home by night that's why I have a lot of time to pack my things.
*THE NEXT DAY…*
Yasuhara's P.O.V.
We arrive at the client's house at exactly 9 am and Mrs. Satori welcome us whole heartedly. I saw a young man when we are being tour by mrs. Satori, maybe it's just my imagination but when mrs. Satori introduce us to her family it's clear enough that it's not my imagination.
"I want to introduce you all to the member of my family, This man is my husband his name is Satori Ryou" it's the man sitting at the middle of the sofa, he seems to have a very calm face and to add that he looks like a good father to his son.
"And this one is my little brother, his name is…" just before she continue.
"KITAMURA KEICHI-KUN!" I suddenly shouted his name out from no where.
"oh my…you know each other?"
"well…kinda…it's been a while yasuhara…" said keichi. Keichi is a model in a local magazine and a friend of mine during my first year at middle school. He has black hair and dark blue eyes just like mrs. Satori but he's tall like a basketball player, not to mention that he's also smart and an athletic.
"shounen…"
"ah! Yeah, he's a friend of mine during my first year at middle school but he has to move all of a sudden that is why wasn't there when during the case in our school."
"that would be because my sister got married that we have to move and I need to transfer, never thought that we will meet again YASU-HARA O-SA-MU" he said while going in front of me and touch my face.
"I see…still a sadist as ever huh"
"yup! But that would be your fault anyway please do your best to solve this case and I definitely want to hang out with you" he whisper to ears. To tell the truth the two of us are childhood friends, we go to the same school, and when his mother died I was beside him. I cried and he's so angry of his father who is having an affair with another woman and doesn't seem to care about the death of his wife. A year later, we've been hanging out a lot, we sometimes join our classmate to meet girls from other school, it was just like that we're partners in crime. But months later, we discover that something was wrong with the two of us. Keichi's been avoiding me a lot while I'm helping the student council, I felt a bit of lonely. After that his sister came to ask me about him, that's when I decided to follow him one time and to my shock I discover that he became a gay, he walk inside the gay bar and when he came out he's with a good looking guy. They kiss and then leave, I didn't follow him anymore but with this I definitely ruined our friendship since I told him the next day that I saw him and he suddenly punch me for following him. He confess to me the reason of why he had became like that.
*FLASHBACK*
"Keichi…why? What happen to you?" I asked after he punch me
"I never wanted to be like this…I feel so disgusting at first but…it was the only way for me to forget about you! I can't take it anymore that is why…" he said
"what do you mean to forget about me?
"I…can't take it anymore osumu….it hurts a lot about…so please…just"
"no…tell me what is it…were friends right? You can tell me anything" I notice the change of his facial expression as I said those things. His face looks so sad and I can see that he was hurt about it.
"yeah…right…were just friends and nothing more that is why I don't have to say those things to you…you don't have to know anything about it…just mind your own business"
"keichi! Please I will accept it, at least share your pain that you're going through right now, please…"
"are you still going to accept it if I told you that I'm in love to you! Now! Tell me! Are you gonna accept my feelings for you?!" he shouted at me really loud but I can see tears starting to fall from his eyes. I was so shock of what he had just told me and also his sudden mood swing. I realize that I really hurt him now and what I can only do is to accept it since I don't want to hurt him any further instead I want to help him.
"what if I tell you that I will accept it, are you going to be happy?" I said smiling towards him
"what did you say?"
" keichi…I like you and I can't stand seeing you this sad and if the cause of this sadness is me that I will also be the one to make you happy"
"Osumu…if you only pitying then just ignore it…your just going to hurt me more…"
"no…I want to be by your side…I can learn to love you more…just let me be by your side…until you find the right person that will be able to replace me…but now just let me…I don't want to lose you…" I said as I hug him tightly, begging him. To my surprise he hug me too and started to cry more.
"thank you…osumu…thank you"
'just promise me that you won't be going to that bar anymore and you won't be meeting any man from that bar"
"don't worry all the man that I met there are just friends who are kind enough to talk to me and lead me home"
"still…you must promise…"
"ok, I promise but in exchange…starting tomorrow we'll start hanging out and date and going home together" he said happily
"were always going home together"
"that's not what I mean! What I mean is that we can at least walk side by side and hold hand…" he said shyly as I can see the embarrassment in his face.
"prrft! I see...I get it now…hahahaha…I never knew that your this cute when your embarrass"
"DON'T LAUGH! It's not funny you know!"
"I know, can we now go home? It's nearly time for the school to close"
"yeah of course! Let's go!" he said happily.
*End of Flashback*
It's so funny remembering those moments with him, I wonder if he already found his special someone, I hope I did since base from his expression his very happy except that his current house is being hunted. Currently the big boss is reviewing the details that were given by keichi and mr. Satori. Some sounds of crying are being heard from the room of keichi but it doesn't stop there since writing in the wall were being seen there and keichi said that it happens every night that is why he sometimes don't go home and sleep somewhere, that somewhere really bother me, I wonder where that somewhere is. I'm on my way to the base when suddenly keichi came out from his room, his eyes were filled with fear like he saw a ghost or something.
"keichi? What's wrong?" I asked
"OSUMU!" He suddenly hug me tight and that's when I notice his whole body is trembling.
"Wha-what's wrong? Your trembling…"
"my…my room…they are now filled with blood…"
"why don't we go to the base so that you can explain it in front of my boss" I said as I help him walk since he is still trembling. As soon as we reach the base, Naru is already giving assignment to all of them.
"Yasuhara your late!" he said
"Sorry…by the way something happen in keichi's room"
"alright, please sit and start explaining, bou-san I want you to call his sister" naru ordered bou-san while I lead keichi to the sofa and get him some tea to calm him down.
"you see…after we finish your interview with all of us…I head straight to my room to sleep for a bit…" keichi started explaining that when I realize that it's been 1 ½ hour pass after that interview. I gave keichi his tea as well as the tea of big boss, I sit beside keichi and hold his hand to show him my support.
"I fell asleep…but…I had a dream that someone is trying to kill me…inside of my room…"
"keichi…"
"osumu…it's my first time encountering this kind of this…"
"who is trying to kill you?" asked naru. Bou-san arrived with keichi's sister
"keichi! What happen? Are you alright?" asked mrs. Satori
"sis' I think I'm fine…" still depress
"please continue your explanation" demanded naru
"I think a monster is trying to kill me…he even said that I can't escape anymore…"
"A monster?" wondered bou-san
"yes, it was like a human from a far but…when it's already near you..you can see it's red eyes…its arms were just like a wolves with long nails…" he describe it as me and lin take down notes of the descriptions he was giving.
"in your dream…what did he do to you?"
"he…hold my face really tight with his right hand while his left hand started to hold my chest…I can feel his nails…it was just like a dagger or as sharp as a dagger…"
"wait! Are you saying that his nails were like a dagger that will be a tool to kill you?" asked bou-san
"yes, he was about to hit my chest as if he was aiming to my heart when I manage to wake up but when I wake up…blood were all over my room…my whole room were filled with blood…except my things…but my bed is included…"he begin to tremble again and I began to comfort him again.
"keichi…everything going to be alright…" I said
"I hope so osumu…he…hurt me after all"
"what do you mean?"
"here…" he show me a freshly wound in chest that were still bleeding.
"KEICHI! Your bleading!" I shouted as was about to run to get a first aid kit but keichi stop me and his sister was the one who run to get the kit.
"my bed is also filled with blood…and those blood…I think it's mine…" he said
"Keichi…" I move to his side as he buried his face in my shoulder.
"yasuhara-san, I want you to start investigating and search more information about this house and it's history" naru ordered.
"I wil…but naru…will you allow keichi to go with me since his not safe here" I said
"yes, you can but you will start tomorrow while madoka…I want you to meet ayako and ask her to make some protected charms" said naru while facing madoka-san
"Ok!"
"then I'll call ayako and ask her to make those charms now so that when madoka meet her, she will just give you those charms" said bou-san
"thank you!" said madoka-san to bou-san
"very well, now I want everyone to rest and tomorrow we have a lot of things to do" ordered naru while everyone were about to walk out of the base.
"Wait! Big boss…where will keichi sleep and even if he were with one of us, he's not safe"
I said
"then…john…can you give something to him as a protection?" asked naru while john just nodded and get something from his bag, I think it's a necklace or more likely a rosary then he head towards keichi.
"this is a rosary that I will give to you keichi-san and this one will be for you yasuhara-kun, it's a necklace with a cross" he handed it over to the two of us. I started to wonder why did he gave it to me but I think it was for my protection also.
"I want you to hold it and close you eyes" we just follow what john told us to do while he started to do some prayer and I heard him say some words in a different language.
"you may now open you eyes" he said. As we open our eyes, john bless us with a holy water.
"now the two of you are bonded while we are in this case those necklace will protect you even in your dreams that is why never take it away from your side even when you going to bath always wear it"
"thank you john" I said. Now all of them are leaving while naru, lin, me and keichi were the only ones left inside the base. I started to search the history of the house with the use of the net while keichi is just sitting beside me. He just watch what I'm doing and not saying anything at all. Naru and lin were discussing something about the case. Now I started to feel that this case will be one of the worst case we handle and now mai-chan is not with us. It will be troublesome if someone had gone missing, no one will be able to predict where he/she is. I really hope that this case will end smoothly and quickly as possible.
