Life sucks. Sorry it's been a while.
I do not own Ghost Hunt.
"There's something not right about this…it's not like the other spirits. It feels young yet ancient at the same time."
"When she's ready, she'll tell you."
"I. Was. Trying. To. Save. Her. Life. Some thing that I don't think you would understand. Don't you get it? She could die if she keeps this up. And it would be all your fault."
Naru watched Kaye storm out of the room in muted shock. How was he supposed to react to that? Would asking Mai to work with him actually kill her? He shook his head to clear it. He didn't have time to worry about that right now.
He turned back to the computer screen. If what that witch girl (no pun intended) was right, then they were dealing with a very bad, very dangerous spirit. A spirit he wasn't entirely convinced that they could handle.
"Is there anything that you want Katen and me to do?" came a voice from behind him. Naru stiffened in almost unnoticeable surprise and turned to look at John. The priest was standing there rather awkwardly, as if he really wanted Naru to say yes but at the same time didn't want him to.
"You two can go around and see if there are any other evil presences in the area. If Ms. Streett senses any, you can exorcist them." John nodded and the two left Naru to brood.
"Think he's going to be alright?" Katen murmured in John's ear, making him jump about a mile.
"Um…I'm not sure. As much as I didn't want to listen in, it was fairly hard not to with Kaye yelling like that. Naru seemed upset that he could be hurting Mai." John looked thoughtful as the two walked down the hall, "Personally I think that Naru has a crush on Mai."
Katen snorted. "You don't?" John challenged her.
"Nope."
"Do tell."
"From the way Kaye and him are acting, I'd say that they are more likely too have a crush on each other."
"Seriously?" he asked her, just to have her nod.
"What are you two talking about?"
John jumped about three feet in the air and Katen spun around to look at a very disgruntled Kaye.
"Nothing boss."
"Don't call me that. And what are you doing?" Kaye snapped.
"We're looking for evil spirits." John answered honestly.
"Like that one." Katen muttered, looking hard up into the rafters of the old house. Kaye and John both snapped their heads up to look up in the rafters. "John. Get-"
She was cut off by a strangled yell.
"That sounded like-" Kaye started.
"Reno." Katen finished, tearing her eyes away from the stop on the ceiling to run down the hallway towards the direction of the yell. John and Kaye were hot on her trails.
When they got there, Reno was on the ground with Shinji, Anna, and Takashi. He was panting heavily and looking up at the ceiling with a rather dazed look in his eye.
"Reno. Are you alright?" Kaye knelt by his side.
"Get that thing away from me." He gasped out and harshly pointed to a small, seemingly insignificant hall table.
"It's a table." came a flat voice from behind John, who turned and saw Lin standing next to a wide eyed Ry.
"That. Thing. Is. Evil." was his bit out response.
"Reno, why did it scare you so bad? Your aura's all black and red. Your aura is never black and red." This was Ry, who sounded a little nervous.
"I freaking touched it! And-and it-oh my god." Shinji placed a hand on back of Reno's neck and helped him sit up. The others had made their way to them by that point and were craning their heads around to see what the commotion was.
"What was Reno? What did you see?" Shinji asked softly, running a hand through the other man's longer red hair.
"Who's was that." was the only response, directed at Anna and Takashi.
"It was my brother's." Anna said, "It was left to us in his will after he passed away."
"You mean murdered." Reno said, glaring hard at the table.
Takashi and Anna went deathly still. "How did…how did you know that? We never told…the killer was never found." she stuttered out.
"I saw it. And that table is possessed." Reno declared.
"By my brother?"
"No. Your brother's killer."
Sorry if this kinda sucked. I had the idea and needed to get it down before I forgot. School's getting out soon so I should have more time to update more regularly. So yay for that!! ^^
