Hiya!! I'm back!!!!! Sorry it's taken so long….stuff's happened and I kinda lost focus and energy to write. But now I'm back and hopefully I'll be updating more often. Thanks everyone for not getting mad at me! ^_^

I do not own Ghost Hunt. Be glad I don't. Mwuahahahaha!

"From the way Kaye and him are acting, I'd say that they are more likely too have a crush on each other."

"I saw it. And that table is possessed." Reno declared.

"By my brother?"

"No. Your brother's killer."

"What do you mean my brother's murderer??" Anna shrieked, starting to sound hysterical…not that Mai could blame her.

"I mean just that. The man that possesses that table, is the man who murdered your brother." Reno spat out, struggling to get his breathing back under control. Shinji continued to soothingly run his hands though the long red hair.

"How dare you." Takeshi ground out, pushing Masako away from him and coming to stand menacingly in front of the seer, "How dare you! Using things that you found in a newspaper to bother Anna. I told her that this was a mistake! You're praying on a defenseless woman and using that to gain money and-"

Anna laid a shaking hand on her fiancé's arm. "Wait. The papers…they don't know everything about the murder. Tell me what you saw."

Reno looked Anna straight in the eyes. "You're brother is about five years older than you. But he doesn't look it. He looks like he's about 20. He was murdered when a man broke into his house. The authorities don't know why he broke into the house, considering nothing was taken…even though the papers were told that it was a theft."

Silence was the only response to this. Reno took another breath and started up again. "You're brother was flung against a wall, the man making sure to bang it hard enough to leave a bloodstain before he dragged him off into the kitchen. He laid your brother out on the floor and stabbed him. The man sat with your brother while he died, before leaving through a window and making his way through the back yard. He was never found."

"How did-how did you know that?" Takeshi asked, stumbling over his words, "The papers never learned any of that stuff…we made sure of it."

Reno sighed. "I told you. I saw it. The man who murdered your brother is dead. And he's haunting that table. Why? No clue. But he is."

As Anna was lead away, sobbing, by her fiancé, Kaye turned to Katen. "You said earlier that you saw something in the ceiling. An evil spirit right?"

She nodded, "Right before Reno screamed." Reno squawked indignantly. "It felt a lot like what Mai and Masako felt earlier. Big, small, young, and ancient."

"How is that possible?" Naru muttered before snapping at Kaye, "And don't you say 'Black Magic'."

Kaye huffed angrily before snapping back, "I wouldn't have to keep repeating myself if you bothered listening to me the first time around." Naru looked at him strangly before turning and stalking off down the hallway.

Mai grinned at the blush that was on his face as he pushed past her, before turning back to Reno.
"Come on, we should get back to the base so that we can discuss all that's happened." Kaye said, snapping out of his trance of staring at Naru's retreating back.

Ten minutes later found all of them, even Naru, sitting around the base room.

"So," Monk-san started, eyes furrowed in thought, "Correct me if I'm wrong but so far we've got black magic that's stirred up auras and mutated ghosts. Then we have a possessed table that so far hasn't hurt anyone despite the fact that it is possessed by a murderer. Oh yeah, and this murderer happened to kill the older brother of the woman who hired us."

"Sounds about right." Ayako said.

"Hmm…and so far there hasn't been any physical attacks on anyone, just some childish pranks and scary moments." Ry said, looking up at Lin to clarify this.

Lin nodded, "The worse thing to happen is a mirror was shattered and Takeshi-san stepped on a shard."

"Katen, this is your expertise, what do you think?" Masako asked, turning to the slightly older girl.

Everyone turned to the witch. She sighed. "My theory is that both the ghost of the brother and the killer. The brother dappled in magic. When he was killed and realized that the killer ended up dying as well. He dragged the spirit back to the house and began to mutate it."

John frowned. "Why would he mutate the spirit?"

"Mutating spirits causes severe pain to the spirit. It's like getting stabbed by a thousand needles all of your body…constantly." Mai said, eyes distant.

"That's horrible." Masako cried.

"Does the spirit of the brother control the mutated spirit?" Naru asked, the cogs of his brain working rapidly. Katen shook her head. "So…that means that an mutated spirit whose being caused great pain is locked in a house with the sister of the man causing him pain."

Kaye paled significantly. "That means that things are going to get a lot worse around here."

Naru just hummed in response, thinking for a few more moments before saying, "None of us should be alone. We should go to the family and make them sleep in the base tonight…just in case. Ayako, could you make up some charms for-"

"AHHHHHHHHAHAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" came a bloodcurdling scream.

"Anna-san!"

Whew. Done. Finally. Have to figure out where to go with this…is it sad that I don't know fully where I'm going with this??? I mean I have the basic idea but………..

Awwwww, the stirring of Naru/Kaye. Awwww……
