File 6.

Filtering the Ghosts.

Mai yawned and forced herself not to stretch "argh.. I hate not being able to do so.." she complained and Ayako looked at her once more "what Mai?" Bou also looked at her "n-nothing, just something that's not really going as it should.. perhaps?" she stated and stood up, but before she could fully stand, Ayako where behind her and pushed her down to her chair again.

"Mai, where is that 'something is not right'?" she asked and Mai looked up at her "it's okay Ayako, I already went to a doctor anyway.. on Naru's threats!" she whispered the last thing so the narcissist on the other side of the room wouldn't hear her, Ayako smirked and pinched her side, she nearly burst into forced laughter if she hadn't hissed in pain there and then.

"What is wrong with your side?" Ayako asked and Naru turned his head towards Mai, he looked into her eyes and she knew this was bad.

"Eh.. nothing, an old wound, it healed ages ago, nothing to worry about.." but Ayako pinched her side again and Mai nearly began to cry "so why does it hurt!" Ayako seemed to state the obvious again and Mai felt anger rise for some reason, Mai shot up and accidentally pushed the tea cup she had onto herself "no.. ouch!" she yelped and tried to dry it off before she got scolded.

"Mai!" Ayako exclaimed and helped Mai up, then she pushed her towards the bathroom "some catch a new shirt for Mai please" she said as she pushed the younger woman into the bathroom and closed the door, the men looked at the door before John looked at Naru "where's Mai-san's bag?" he asked, Naru got up and walked over to the bed-room he had desided he and Mai would share, he walked into the room and began to search through her stuff, soon though, he found a shirt, and something else.

An old photo had been lying in the bottom and Naru took it up, then blinked, the photo had to be over ten years old, it was quite faded on the edges and even thorn some places, he looked at the three kids in front of four grown-ups, then he smiled "Mai have a picture from then?" he wondered and was caught off guard when a voice piped in his head "we where... 6 at that time weren't we?" Gene stated and Naru sighed "yes, I didn't know there existed pictures of us from that time!" "sure did, but Mai kept in at home, but she managed to loose it.. probably in that bag I presume!"

He noted that the four years old Mai in the picture held both his six years old self and six years old Gene's hand, she was smiling from ear to ear and he noted that even he was smiling very much, wich was quite a shock to say as much "Naru-chan.. Mai-chan need her shirt now!" Bou called through the door and Naru put the picture into his pocket, then he picked up the shirt and walked out of the room.

Bou looked after the narcissistic boss as he handed the shirt over to Ayako, who was standing in the door-way and waiting for the said cloth, then she closed the door and the look she had on her face was not very positive to say at least.

When they came out of the bathroom, Mai was wearing her new shirt, wich fitted her since it was wasn't bright blue, but in a pale fashion and with white stripes, turning the pattern into a flower or maybe a snow-flake "Mai-chan, what did you mean back then?" Bou asked and Mai looked down "I told you, it's nothing!" she frowned at them, she didn't want them to dig so much into her future, at least not that wound, the only one she had told that too was Naru and she had never thought she would tell it to anyone else either.

"Then, it's also nothing that you and Naru-chan are obviously dating?" Bou stated with a large smirk, reminding them of the Cheshire-cat from Alice in Wonderland.

Mai turned deep red "wh-wha.. what?" she stuttered incoherently and found Naru's glare reaching Bou's head with the intent to burn a hole through his skull, sadly it seemed Bou's head was far to thick for that and Mai hid a smile when she imagined Bou with a large hole through his head "at least, he would air his thoughts before he spoke right?" Naru told the woman and Mai almost burst into laughter and poorly hid it with a large cough.

Mai then returned to reality when Ayako's hands tightened on her shoulders and she looked sideways "em.. well.." suddenly John smiled "we all knew Mai-san, even Masako might have understood" the last he said more carefully since Naru had now turned his uber-murder glare at him.

Bou chuckled "out with it love birds, just the fact that Naru-chan kissed you in front of us is one heck of a hint!" Mai's blush darkened at least tenfolds.

"W-wha.." she stuttered and looked down again, then Naru sighed and Mai looked up and at him "what Mai and I do on our spare time does not have anything to do with you, and now we are on a case, can we please continue!" he told them and turned away.

Mai raised an eyebrow, but silently agreed.

"Woah there.. no need to be so angry Naru-chan, plus, Mai-chan is like a little sister to us, so we care about her, where-ever she is taken in by a ghost or a human!" Bou told him and stood straight, lucky for him since he was taller than Naru, but Naru's ego was also taller than Bou's so somehow the monk shrunk in front of Naru until he could be somehow a few inches, running for his dear life.

"Naru.." Mai began, but stopped as she heard the voices again and ran to the door "Mai" Naru shouted at her as she nearly threw the door off it's hinges and ran into the hall, Ayako, John and the rest followed in her heels and watched her as she stopped, standing still for a second before she turned "we have to leave" she whispered, almost to low for them to hear, but enough to give them chill's, why did she was to leave now?

Then Mai turned around "poltergeist.." she said and stared at the end of the hall where something began to matrealise.

Naru began to walk towards Mai, but before he could, some invisible force threw him backwards and right into Bou, who also fell backwards, shocked by the force of impact, three people stared at them in shock as they tried to get up again, Naru looked at Mai and couldn't see her, then she did, she was trapped against the wall while a ghost-like, white aura floated in front of her.

"Nau maku san man da bazara dan kan" Bou began and the white aura shivered slightly before it seemed to run for it, but desided that it should go through Mai to do so.

"Mai" Naru said as he got up and ran over to Mai, she slid against the wall and down to the floor, red marks appeared on her face, they looked like some kind of rash if Mai hadn't looked up right then and stared into Naru's blue eyes with similar blue eyes, electrifying blue eyes that seemed to paralyze him to the spot.

"Naru-chan?" Bou called and when he got no answer he got worried, before he could walk over Lin passed him and crouched beside Naru and Mai "Naru!" he called and put a hand on his shoulder, to everyone's surprise did Naru flinch and fall backwards to the floor, he was now just sitting there, looking like a scared, very young boy who's been scared by a ghost.

"Lin, get Ukemi-san.. now!"

It took them half an hour to find Yoshimo and when they did, they almost had to force him, because he said he wasn't in the mood "hey, who's in the mood to face a ghost right now?" Bou said to himself as they walked down the hall once again.

After the weird moment back then in the hall, Mai had fainted and she still was unconscious, Naru had taken her to the bedroom they shared and Naru was, if Bou guessed right, sitting beside her with his files and a tea in hand.

"Naru-chan.." he called as he opened the door to their base and saw only Lin, sitting there, typing on his computer as always "Lin-san, where's Naru-chan and the rest?" Lin turned around "Naru is with Taniyama-san, while Matsuzaki-san and Brown-san is out searching for places to exorcise!" he told him and Bou nodded, then he walked over to the bedroom and opened the door "Naru-chan, Ukemi-san is here" he told the narcissist, who was, right to his guesses, sitting on the bed, upright of course, with files on his lap and a tea resting in his hand.

Naru looked at him and nodded, Yoshimo regarded the woman lying unconscious on the bed with another disgusted look before he turned away to sit down, both Bou and Naru glared after him, but refrained from calling the man anything, seeing he was their client and if they messed up, they wouldn't get any money.

"Ukemi-san, I believe it's a poltergeist that resides here!" Naru said as they sat down, while Mai and he had been in the room, he had heard her say a lot of things "poltergeist?" Yoshimo repeated and Naru nodded "it's paranormal activity caused by people with high paranormal powers.. or ESP as it's called" he began as he tried to explain and he felt like he was trying to tell Mai rather than a full-grown man.

"And?" Yoshimo continued, Naru stared at him "we believe that you might have ESP!" he stated as if it was completely normal.

Suddenly the door to the bedroom opened and Mai stumbled out of the door with a pale and a very serious look across her face "Mai?" Naru asked as he got up, but before he even managed to grab onto her had Mai stopped and gave him a pointed look "I don't want to be here.. there is nothing to do either!" she whispered deathly.

Yoshimo now stood up "how so, I have hired to get rid of this.. stuff!" he finished with a deep, disgusted glare at the woman, who didn't look at him, just at Naru, not wanting to meet the man's eyes "Mai.. why?" Naru asked and Mai looked up at him "I don't want any of us to be hurt" she said, sounding calm, but he knew better, Mai was probably scared out of her mind "Noll, that man, don't let him be alone with either of the women!" Gene warned and Naru crossed eyebrows, but didn't answer, since he knew Mai could read his thoughts.

"Ukemi-san, please understand, the only reason it all happens is because of your emotions.." he held the rest back since he thought of something and Mai caught his thoughts "but Oliver, how come he is the one at cause, isn't it usually young people, in their teens that are the cause of such activity!" Mai asked and Naru looked to his side, downwards while she eyed him with concern "true.. that is weird, I've never met someone at his age that can do such things"

Mai turned to the windows and looked outside, clouds where building and promised rain for them soon.

"Naru, is it possible he has deeper powers than just to make poltergeist?" Mai asked out loud, Naru looked at her "hm.." was all that came from him as he looked at Yoshimo with his usual dark, cold eyes "Ukemi-san, has anything happened in the past, like things started to move when your where feeling very strong emotions?" he asked the client, who glared back and seemed to be unaffected by the young narcissists glares.

"No.. no such things!" he stated and Naru looked at Mai once more, she nodded and lifted hand, she touched the glass, despite her wounds from the very same type of glass, she stiffly looked through the glass.. or did she.

Okay.. fairly short, but that's because I'm so full-handed with so much more, please have mercy on me!

And I prefer to get reviews to get to know what you feel about the this chapter!
