Chapter 12: New Case.


"So where are we going?" Ayako asked. I was packing a bag for the case, I luckily persuaded Martin to let me take, Ayako and the others on the case just so I wasn't alone with Naru on this. That would just be very awkward.

"A hotel, I don't know what its called. Its in the country side so we will have to stay at the hotel for a week or so, while we solve the case. Martin said they had been experiencing some ghostly activity like, noises, temperature drops and they always say that one of the maids gets possessed every Friday night, at the same time, in the same place. All the maids and butlers, are getting scared. But, that's not all, I haven't told Naru this, but, from what I found out reading the case file is that all the maids have the same sort of personality, they are always happy and bubbly and have had amazing lives." Ayako looked at me, "So, you will be prone to danger, once again." I smiled, "No,"

"No?" Ayako questioned. "Yeah, I mean, that all have had amazing lives, I was an orphan, remember, I haven't had an amazing life." Ayako nodded clearly relieved. I smiled and zipped up my suitcase. "Its 5:56 now and we are meeting Naru at BPR at 6:30, we might want to leave now, and, don't start," and I walked off and all I heard was, "Hey, I won't," and I smiled.


… … … … … … … …


At 6:20 we arrived at BPR. After a stop to the shop, Naru was waiting and Lin was putting equipment into the van. Once we arrived, I jumped out and stretched, "Ah," Naru raised an eyebrow at me and then, "Hey, its Mai Takigawa," an English man shouted. People looked round and stared. I stood very still and then I saw a flash. Reporters and people began running at me and ran back into the car. "Drive, Drive, DRIVE," I shouted. Bou-san laughed and began the car, then he stopped by the van, "We are just going to start making out way, where is it?" he asked as people came up to the window and took photo's. I pulled my jacket over my head and waited for Lin and Naru to give directions and then we set off. I was just glad to escape.


.. … … … … … … … … …


We stopped to wait for Naru half way and we were just waiting on the side of the road. I was lay on the top of the car looking up at the clear sky, the sun beating down on us, even though it was only 7 or 8 in the morning. "Naru called, he said he will be half an hour." Bou-san shouted up at me, I nodded and plugged my earphones in and listened to music while I waited, but before I knew it, sleep had claimed me.

"Please. Someone help me," a woman called.

"No one can help you," a cold voice called. "No, no, please, no, no, please. NOOOOOOOOOO!,"

Drip...

"He-lp.."

"Mai. Naru is here." I slowly opened my eyes and sat up slowly. "Oh," was all I said. Bou-san looked at me, "Mai, are you okay? A Dream?" he asked and I saw everyone look at me. I pulled my legs to my chest and buried my head in my knees and closed my eyes tight. I nodded slowly and nodded my head. "Mai." Naru stated.

I gulped, "A," I paused to collect myself and not looking up I told them. "I just heard a dripping sound, like a pipe and droplets hitting water or a tap. I couldn't see, it was just darkness and then I heard a voice. A female. She sounded frail because her voice was scratchy and sounded dry. She said, 'Help.' she then paused and said, 'Please, someone help me,' a it was quite until I heard a voice. It was cold, old and sounded harsh, but, this voice sounded like it was right by me ear. The breath tickled my ear, it said, 'No one can help you.' then the woman began shouting, screaming and pleading before she stopped. The dripping sound became more intense, and then I heard her say, and frail, 'He-lp' and that was it. I woke to Bou-san," I stated.

A hand touched my foot, "Mai, come down." Ayako whispered to me. I slowly lifted my head and looked up a them, before I crawled back and down the back of the car. I put my foot down on the back and then jumped off. Bou-san put an arm around me and I cuddle close. Nothing like a hug with my dad would make me feel safe.

After the small episode we began heading towards the hotel again. I was calmed down and very tired and I was leaning into Ayako in the back. "That dream and the concert last night must have really drained you Mai, you look very pale." I sighed, "I feel so bad." I murmured. Ayako pulled me close, "Sleep Mai, Naru won't mind, you need it." I closed my eyes slowly and listened to the humming on the engine and it helped me drift off to sleep.
