I not own.. that's that!

File 5.

Suspicious Activity.

Naru and the rest of the team expect Mai and Lin, walked longer into the house, although uncertain since Masako couldn't pin-point the spirit or spirits for that matter.

"Why.. why am I so anxious?" Naru wondered as he told John and Bou to accompany Masako as she would continue to search, but before they had even moved a step, they appeared everywhere, the dolls, they covered most of the floor that lead back to the base and Naru almost exploded at once.

"Bou-san, Brown-san!" Naru said and the two got to action at once, they chanted and even Ayako did so when they heard an evil laughter, a childish, evil laughter "O-Oliver..." this voice was whispered in his head and he went into a rampage-mode, cracking not so few doll on his purpose to get back to the base "Naru..." Masako began, she was utterly pale and her eyes was seemingly looking at the wall, but Naru knew better "it has arrived... it's.. it's in the base!" she said, Bou, John and Ayako all gasped or frowned.

Naru.. he tuned his powers and shot a fine, not so thin line of golden electricity through the mass of dolls "Mai!" he thought as he ran through the army of dolls and reached the door to their base that was shut, then he tried to open it, of course it was impossible, withing the time of had begun to hit the door with his body, the other's arrive and helped too.

Whatever they did didn't help and to their horror, they heard a whisper before a scream emitted from the room, a similar shout came from Lin "Mai!" Naru shouted, Bou and Ayako's following his.

Then the door opened and they all stumbled into the room, it was empty, the glass shattered on the floor and the whole room smelled heavily of blood.

Day 5.

Bou, John, Ayako or Masako had never seen Naru become either so frantic or panicked, ever!

It scared them actually and even though the person himself would deny everything, they all knew it was because Mai had been kidnapped by the ghost, of course Masako had told him it was just a child and that made them all gawk, but the fact that they had managed to find out what had taken Mai and Lin was better than anything, seeing that most of the times, they couldn't find any lead at all for the first days after a kidnapping.

"Bou-san, Matsuzaki-san and Brown-san, go with Hara-san and see where the spirit might be heading!" he told them and they left, leaving him to glare into the wall in such anger that if it had been living, it would've screamed and run away in quite the good speed, although he knew Mai and Lin could manage on their own, it worried him that he hadn't heard from Mai since she had disappeared, usually he would've been able to connect his thoughts to her and get some information about her situation and where-bouts, but this time, there was non.

"Mai, where are you!" he thought and tried not to think of the worst.

Suddenly the door burst open and Naru turned, expecting it to be Bou or Ayako telling they where under attack, instead there was nothing at all, just the reflection of the sun from outside, Naru sighted and thought it might be the after effect from yesterday, but that thought was cut short when someone talked "Noll.." Naru gawked and stared at the door as his twin-brother matrealised before him "Gene.. what happened to Mai?" Gene looked down at that question "Mai isn't really in danger yet ,it's just that.." he fell silent.

"Gene!" Naru said and Gene lifted his head up towards his again "that spirit is somehow strong, Mai can't use her powers, it's... that child is making sure of that, using Mai's powers as her own, wich.. makes her weaker and weaker" he stated low, Naru frowned "Lin?" Gene shook his head "because that spirit is using Mai's powers, it can't hurt it.. Lin's Shiki's are no use now!" Naru sat down by the desk "do you know.. where they are then?" Gene looked at him "I'm not sure, they're in a small room, it looks like an attic, but I'm not sure..." Naru nodded as Gene began to fade "and Noll.. hurry!" Naru nodded as Gene was gone.

He turned and looked out the windows, they had covered the windows with larges plates to make sure nothing went either out or in, then he picked up his phone and dialed a number "Yasuhara-san.. can you find information about our current case?"

5 Hours Later.

Bou slumped down onto the couch "where the heck did Mai-chan and Lin-san go.. I mean, they just disappeared from the room like that, even when just Mai was taken it was weird, why take Lin-san of all?" he stated and brushed a hand through his half-long hair, John sat down beside him "true.. it's like the other case, when Mai-san disappeared, but how did they make it with Lin-san too!" Ayako looked at him "dunno, but I know Mai can change her own position too, like Astral, although that's different.." Naru looked at them as someone knocked at the door "yes?" Naru said and Furashiwa Miko entered "I'm so sorry about your assistants.." she began, but Naru shook her off "it's not your fault!" then Miko nodded and stepped aside "and.. you have visitors!" Yasuhara entered and Bou gaped "unusual for you to enter through the door boy!" Yasuhara smirked at him "no use through that window right!" then he gave Naru the files that he had.

"Whatever information I found came from about.. ten or twenty years ago, that's when the death of a girl first found place and the family moved..." he began "the girl, 5 years old Akane lived with her parents in this house, no relatives or siblings is written, but whatever was written was that one day their daughter was found in the attic, apparently she had tried to open a large suitcase, but it slammed shut over her arms, cutting them both off and she died of blood-loss..." everyone except Naru looked disgusted "and?" "her parents told the police back then that she had asked or more.. bugged them to make them play with her, but they where both to busy and the last thing she said was 'I'll play by myself.. with my friends that'll be with me forever' and then she was gone.." "what was it in the attic?" Naru asked "dolls.. hundreds off them apparently!"

This made them all stop dead in their tracks and Naru looked at Miko "are the dolls still in the attic!" Miko frowned slightly "I don't know, there was no attic when we brought this place, since there was no opening... but, there might be.." she fell into her own thoughts as Naru waited for her to reply, then Miko nodded "I think there is, the previous owner told me there used to be an attic in this house, but it was shut off.." Naru looked at her "where?" Miko pointed her fingers over them "there.." they all looked up and indeed there was marks after an old opening of the attic.

Yasuhara looked around "where's Mai-chan.. and Lin-san?" he asked, Bou gave him pointed look "they're the one missing!" Yasuhara nodded, somewhat shocked that Lin of all people had gone missing.

"Then.. I'll leave.." Yasuhara backed off and left, Miko following him.

"Bou-san, Brown-san, I need your help!" Naru stated when Miko had entered the room and agreed to open the attic, both men nodded and with Miko's help, they found equipment to open the roof "now then.. let's get started!" Bou said and lifted a wrench, then sticking it into the thin line and prying the hem open, it fell of the hinges though and barely missed Bou's head by inches "woah.." he said as dust covered most of him and the rest of the room, John set up the ladder and Naru climbed first up, poking his head into the very old, dusty and cold attic, then he climbed onto the floor or Bou followed shorty after, they looked around, almost expecting Mai and Lin to lie on the floor nearby, but they didn't.

Bou looked around and frowned "Naru-chan.. look around, all the shelves!" and Naru did, he wasn't surprised though to see at least a hundred dolls covering all the shelves that was in the attic, all of them was covered in dust.. except two, they looked fairly new compared to the rest of them and to the remaining team of SPR horror, they looked like they had been modelled after Mai and Lin "Bou-san, take them out of the attic, I want to look them!" Naru told the monk "you mean to destroy them not 'look' at them don't you!" Bou thought, but picked up the two dolls.

As he did and began to walk towards the hole in the floor though, someone began to cry and Bou stopped, the voice sounded so heartbroken, so lonely and sad.. and betrayed.

"Don't take them too.. I don't want to be alone" a child appeared, but unlike the earlier sight, they saw a girl at the age of six, with long, white dress and blonde hair fastened in a ribbon, her green eyes filled with tears and her cheeks flustered red, Bou sighted "look, these two are important to us too.. we care for them lot, I'm sorry.." the girl didn't answer, then she frowned and the dust flew up into their eyes, Bou felt someone grab his hands and then the dolls was ripped out of his hands "I will NEVER let you have them.. they're MINE!" she shrieked, a heavy force pushed Bou hard into the wall behind him and he slumped against it, unconscious, John ran over to him at once and checked him, he turned to Naru "he was just knocked out, that power.. I've never seen a spirit with such a force!" Masako poked her head over the egde of the floor and gasped as John helped her up "t-that.. that girl.." said girl looked at her and her featured changed.

Suddenly Masako slumped against John, who gasped and asked her what was wrong.

"Nothings wrong John!" the woman said, wich made John raise both eyebrows and was about to ask something else when Naru stopped him "Mai, why did you possess Hara-san?" the woman looked at him with glazed eyes "nothing else worked, she... Akane.. died as you might know... she just want to be with someone to play with.. like her parents that neglected her!" she told him, Naru nodded and turned to the girl "if you leave, you might catch your parents in heaven!" he told her simply and the girl glared, a glare that usually people wouldn't find on a child's face.

"Akane.. he is right, your parents are waiting for you in heaven.. if you let go now, you can be with them forever!" the girl still looked unbelieving at Masako, then she looked down "I did something stupid, I can't.. they will be angry at me!" she said stubbornly, Masako or Mai, laughed and walked over to the child, she sat down on her knees and hugged the child as if she wasn't a spirit, who blinked several times, then tears appeared in the child's eyes and sobs started to emit from her.

"It's alright.. it's okay now!" she shooted the child calmly and stoke her hand across the girls back as she began to glow "if you go up there and tell them why, I'm sure they'll understand, they knew.. always knew that you suffered from loneliness.. but they where so busy that they couldn't find time to be with you.. they... they left this world only a year after you did.." Akane, now more living than she probably had ever done, gasped "no.." she tried to hold back her tears "when you come in heaven, they'll be waiting for you, they know you'll be coming.. after all.. they've been waiting since they died..." Akane nodded and backed off, suddenly she smiled, it seemed like she had trouble doing so, maybe it was because she had almost forgotten how to smile after all these years?

"Thank you.. I'll tell them you helped me.." she looked at the doll and then she gave it back to Masako, who took it and smiled, the white glow around the child gave it power to see the person who was currently controlling the woman's body "thank you.. Angel-sama.." then she was gone, leaving the dolls and Masako by herself.

Naru walked closer when something like a hidden door opened and Lin came out, he was holding a dead-pale Mai in his arms, Naru was so quick by their side that John actually wondered if he wasn't able to suddenly appear somewhere and then appear miles away seconds later, then he had to catch Masako, who slumped down, tired of being possessed for so long.

After some minutes, Mai hissed in her dead-like state and then she opened her eyes slowly "O.." she held herself back when seeing that most of the team, those who where awake that is, was there too "Naru.." she smiled, seemingly pleased at herself.
