Hello~

I've missed this story so much, school's been pissing me off, ugghhh I hate people and all the work and everything. I'm still super busy but I really hated going on hiatus and so I've forced myself to find time to add more chapters. Thank you so much to all the people who've read this while I was gone, and all the people who have been dedicated, I'm sorry for making you wait so long for the next chapter. But here it is, finally x)

Disclaimer: I don't own ghost hunt or any of it's characters and plot lines and stuff, I just own the characters and plot lines and stuff that I make up myself.

Case 2: Suppressed memories: part 3

"Mai," she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Hi Gene," Mai turned around to smile at him. "What do you have to show me now?" Right after she asked the scene around her changed. She was standing in a kitchen, people around her were calling out but she couldn't hear them, everything was a blur. It stayed like that for a couple seconds then all of a sudden she heard a deep yell, it was a man's voice. Mai was in this man's body and all she could feel was pain, a horrible burning sensation throughout her whole body, she was the one yelling. She could only see red, it was so hot, Mai couldn't do anything about the unbearable pain.

Naru's P.O.V

As soon as Clarice left us in our base to go get the kids for interviews I looked around.

'Crap.' I thought to myself when I noticed Mai wasn't there. I sighed, standing up quickly and walking to the door.

"Where are you going Kazuya?" John asked me, he smiled when I looked at him.

"To go get Mai," was all I said before exiting the room. I walked briskly through the halls to the entrance figuring I should start searching at the beginning. A couple minutes later I heard a blood curdling scream at the end of the hall I was in. I sprinted to the room bursting in to find Mai thrashing around halfway on the bed in the room, she was screaming so loud.

I went up to her and shook her awake, calling her name. Her eyes flew open and tears streamed down her face as she flung herself onto me.

"What happened Mai?" I asked, she couldn't answer at first because she was out of breath from screaming and sobbing. I rubbed her back awkwardly allowing her to calm down as her grip on me loosened.

"I knew him..." Mai whispered after a couple minutes.

"Who?" I asked her.

"The man in my dream. I don't know why I know this but I do." She took a deep breath, "I was just standing there in a kitchen, people were panicking and calling out to me but I couldn't hear or feel anything..." She paused sniffling. Then all I could feel was pain, he was yelling, so much, it hurt, being burned alive." Mai shuddered feeling the pain again.

"It's okay now." I said standing up. I straightened my clothes then helped her up. "Let's go back to base."

Normal P.O.V.

As soon as Mai and Naru made there way into base Monk attacked Mai with a hug.

"Mai! Where have you been? Are you okay?" He continued asking her questions until Ayako hit him on the head with her bag. Naru sat down in front of one of the monitors next to Lin ignoring their bickering. Mai went over to a couch and sat down after Bou-san let her go. Everyone quieted down when Clarice entered the room with two children Naru had instructed her to bring in, the ones who had been talking to someone without telling her who.

"Hi Clarice." Mai said smiling as she greeted their client, Naru smirked at how she was as cheery as ever.

"Hello Mai, are you feeling better?" Secretly everyone had been worried about her however Lin had seen everything on the monitor and told them not to run over after hearing her scream.

"Yes, thank you for asking." Clarice smiled at her response clearly relieved. Naru cleared his throat.

"So, if you don't mine, I'd like to ask you guys some question." He directed this not only at the client but the children as well who hid behind her seemingly scared. Mai glared at him for his naturally harsh tone of voice.

"It's okay guys. He's a really nice guy." Mai stood walking over to them and crouching down to their level. "What are your names?"

"I'm Rosaline," said the little girl smiling proudly. She had long blond hair and adorable big green eyes. "They call me Rose for short though."

"And I'm Xavier. They just call me Xavier." The little boy had brown hair and blue eyes.

"You guys have such nice names." Mai said smiling at them. "I'm Mai. Would you like to sit next to me and Clarice while Naru asks you a few questions." They nodded happily leaping onto the couch the other two sat on either end of the couch so the children were in the middle.

The questions went by slowly, Mai was actually happy with how well Naru took it considering how he usually got annoyed easily with children. They had said they'd heard noises at night but when asked about who they were talking about they continued to say it was a secret. Mai eventually got them to confess that they couldn't tell or else they'd get in trouble, Rosaline had started crying after this so Mai refused to allow Naru to continue.

"Mai, John go record temperatures of the rooms on the third floor. Monk, Ayako, and Masako get the second floor and see if you sense anything as well." Naru said as he continued writing in his black notebook. Mai complained to herself as she grabbed the thermometer and left the room, John followed behind her with a clipboard and pencil.

"This is going to take forever." Mai grumbled as they went up the stairs.

"At least he split us up in groups instead of making us do the whole house by ourselves." Mai sighed nodding in agreement.

"Yeah I guess that's true. So we might as well just get this over with as quickly as possible." She mumbled wishing they were all together, she felt slightly lonely for some reason at the moment.

Lin was watching the monitors silently next to Naru, such a task was really quite boring he was just able to hide this boredom better than Mai could. This hidden boredom continued for about 10 more minutes until he saw John banging on a door in one of the monitors, Mai wasn't there so he was guessing she was locked in the room.

"Naru." He said looking over at his stoic boss. Naru glanced at where he was pointing and immediately got up walking briskly out the door. Lin could see him on the monitor a minute or two later.

"John." Naru said to the panicking priest. "What happened?"

"Mai went into the room and just as I was about to go in, the door closed on me."

"Naru? John is that Naru?" They could hear Mai ask. Naru went over to the door.

"Yes Mai, it's me. Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

"No the door just closed randomly but I do-" she stopped talking suddenly.

"Mai?" John asked.

"Is someone in there Mai?" Naru knocked on the door.

"N-naru..." Mai said, they could just barely hear her. "John...there's something holding my wrist."

"Mai stand back, I'm going to kick the door down." Naru said but they heard a thud and Mai started screaming. Naru and John kicked on the door at the same time causing it to split into a bunch of pieces, they saw Mai being dragged to an open window she was holding onto the sill trying not to fall but her grip was loosening. Naru ran to it and just barely caught her as she began to fall, his torso was hanging over the ledge and he was holding onto both her arms.

"N...naru?" Mai stuttered her breath coming out in uneven gasps as she cried.

"I'm going to pull you up now okay Mai?" Naru asked and she nodded. He pulled her up slowly, she was light but he had to be careful not to hit her against the wall, or his own head on the window just above him, John helped by holding onto one of her arms allowing them to both pull her up.

When Mai was safely in the room her knees gave out and she fell to the floor trying to slow down her breathing. John tried to comfort her as Naru stood watching them, wondering what happened or more so about who or what did it.

I didn't know if I should leave it at a cliffhanger like at the place where they heard the thud or not, it was so hard to choose I was about to but then I decided that I'd write out the rest because I hated making all you guys wait, I feel bad for Mai though but sadly this case kinda revolves around her in some way soooo it's sorta inevitable, well anyway thanks for reading I really appreciate it, review please if you'd like sorry for any grammar mistakes or anything. Buh bye~ x)
