I DO NOT OWN GHOST HUNT

Chapter 7

SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN A WHILE! NO INSPIRATION. :(

THIS CHAPTER MAY BE A LITTLE FORCED/RUSHED. STILL NOT MUCH INSPIRATION.

Today was the day the demonologist was supposed to show up to help us on this case.

"What time did Megumi say she would be here again, Lin?" I asked. My dream from the previous night was still on my mind. I wanted the demon exercised as soon as possible.

"She should be here around noon," Lin replied, looking at his computer's screen.

"Thanks," I said to him, sounding a bit uneasy. I think Naru noticed that I was still a little freaked out from my dream, because he shot me a worried look from across the room. "I'm fine, Naru," I whispered.

"Miss Hara, what is the spirit doing now?" Naru asked Masako, probably hoping the answer would calm my nerves.

Masako closed her eyes, sensing what the spirit was doing and feeling. When she opened her eyes again, she replied, "The demon is trying to break free from Lin's shiki barer."

"Okay, it is eleven o'clock now. Miss Takahashi should be here in about an hour, let's get thing ready for her," Naru said, looking at his watch.

"Okay," I replied.

Once twelve o'clock came, we heard footsteps coming towards our home base. Lin went to let Megumi into the room.

"Hello. You must be Megumi Takahashi. I am Kazuya Shibuya," Naru greeted her.

Once she was welcomed and briefed on the situation, Megumi prepared to exercise the demon from Monk and from the property. Megumi has a colleague trained in catholic exorcisms for demons specifically; he arrived shortly after she did. Monk was tied to a wooden chair that was blue in color. Shortly after Monk was positioned, the exorcism was begun.

The priest began to pray and chant. He asked the demon it's name many times. I asked Naru why he did that.

"Not sure. I hear that saying a demon's true name and praying weakens it," Naru replied quietly.

Not long after the exorcism started, Monk had broken out of his binding and was heading strait for me with a creepy smile spread across his face. I was so scared! His hands went right around my neck before anyone could do anything to stop him. Naru and Lin were trying to pry him off of me. That is the last thing I remember before I passed out.

"Mai, are you okay?" I heard Gene's voice ask.

"What?" I asked weakly.

Gene helped me stand. "The exorcism was successful!" Gene exclaimed.

"Are you sure?" I asked, still with a weak voice.

"Yes!"

"The last thing I remember was Monk strangling me." A thought then struck me. "Am I dead?!" I was a bit panicked.

Gene laughed a bit. "No, no; you are still very much alive. Shorty after you passed out, Naru and Lin managed to get Monk off of you. Naru took you to the next room over, and the exorcism was continued."

"So Monk should be back to normal, right?"

"Yes."

The scene began to fade to black.

I was back in the real world. I was laying on a green sofa with Naru sitting next to me, looking very worried.

"N-Naru?" My voice was raspy.

Naru looked into my eyes for a moment before pulling me into his warm embrace. "I was so afraid that I had lost you," he said into my ear.

"I was afraid you had lost me too," I slightly joked with a small laugh.

We released our hug. There were tears in Naru's eyes. This was something he rarely showed.

"Naru, are you crying? You must have been really worried about me," I said some what shocked.

Naru looked at me with wide, surprised eyes. "Of course I was! I love you.

"I am sorry I worried you. I love you too."

We kissed deeply.

"Whoa!" I hear Monk yell.

Naru quickly broke the kiss. "I see you are back to normal," Naru said, a bit angry.

"So the exorcism went well?" I asked, hopefully.

"Yeah, kiddo, it went great!" Monk replied, hugging me tightly; like a brother would hug his sister.

I smiled. All was well again.
