File 7.

Missing Within Ghost House.

Day 3.

Mai was absolutely sure that the men was in danger, but two days had gone by since two of their teamates had disappeared.

"Naru.. it's the third day already, shouldn't we.." "no, not yet!" Naru broke off Ayako's sentence, Mai didn't really listen, ever since she had that dream she had been feeling nauseous and maybe to weak for her own good, Naru sat down beside Mai and took her hand, much to Masako's annoyance "you okay Mai?" he asked, they all stared at him, non of them could get used to him asking stuff.

"I'm okay.. Naru" she said, barely remembering to call him Naru instead of Oliver in front of the miko, she knew that Masako knew the truth, but she didn't want to take any chances.

"Hara-san, do you feel any spirits?" Naru asked and the medium shook her head "I can't feel them anymore, it's like they've left, but I don't think they have!" she told him and he turned to Mai who nodded "there's no one around, the only thing they left is the scene that was left by the woman who killed.. I think" Naru raised an eyebrow "what makes you think that?" "hm.. oh, it's because all of this blood, you can't get that much from one single person can you and definitely not a woman at the same age of Ayako!"

Ayako looked at her "how come you use me as an example?" Mai looked right at her, not wanting to tell her that Ayako played the role as the murderous big sister, but Naru knew "how come Ayako played that role?" Mai jerk her head towards him, the other two looked at them as Mai frowned "keep out of my thoughts please Oliver!"

"I just want to know Mai!" she turned away and looked out of the windows "I don't know, maybe it's because Ayako is like a sister too me here too!" Naru looked into his files as Masako hid her lower face behind the sleeve of her kimono and Ayako eyed the couple.

"But I think Ay.. the woman killed those who tried to kill her, or the blood is from the men she took after she died!" Mai said out loud, Ayako looked at her "what?" Mai didn't turn "I mean what I said Ayako.. maybe she has a grude towards men only, like.. maybe it's because, apparently they charmed her little sister and she left her, although that is not true, but that's two hundred years ago, I can't think of how many men she has killed by that time!" Mai shivered and Naru stood up, he closed his files and made it to the door, everyone stared at him "Naru, where are you going?" Mai asked and turned to him "out for a second" he stated and opened the door, but Mai stopped him "no, not alone.. go with me or Ayako!" she said and Naru stared at her "Mai, I doubt any of you would want to follow me to the toilet" Mai blushed, but shook her head "I can't take any chances, I..." she was about to say something when the door opened fully and Lin, followed by Minami came in.

"Naru?" Lin asked, Minami sat down the tray with tea on the table and Masako took one of the cups while Naru was glaring them between "I'm going to the toilet Mai, it's not dangerous!" this seemed to make Mai tick off completely "it is.. do you think it's just a game, John and Bou-san was taken, I've seen what the woman can do and I will not let any of you get taken too!" she shrieked and nearly hit Naru in the prosess.

Said narsissist just stood there, calmly waiting for Mai to run out of steam while he was stared right at her, wich, after she had calmed down, began to blush hard.

"Mai, it's two minutes.." "then I'll..." Lin began, but stopped when he saw the glare he received from Mai, he turned to his computer and was about to start his usual typing when he heard Naru leave the room, Mai then stomped past him and sat down on one of the vacant chairs by the screens, Lin chuckled and sat down beside her "there's no camera in the bathroom Taniyama-san" he said and she blushed deeply "that's not it Lin-san.. I just wanted to make sure.." she stilled as she saw Naru walk down the hall and enter the bathroom, Lin watched a nervous frown take place on Mai's face, then after a minute or more, Naru came out and walked away from the camera.

Mai let out a low sigh and was about to stand up, Naru came in and closed the door as Masako gasped and looked around, then Mai and Lin stared at the screens in shock, but for different reasons.

Lin and the rest, except Mai and Masako would see white orbs floating throughout the whole house, what the other two saw was much more detailed, and bloody.

Mai let out a strangled gasp before she fell backwards, Lin reacted with turning around and watched Naru catch the woman before she hit the floor "Mai!" he said rather loudly, for Naru that is, but Mai didn't react "what happened?" Ayako asked as Naru put her down on a couch and stare worried at her "she fainted.." the women gasped and watched him sit down, one hand resting against his chin as if he was thinking hard.

Lin eyed them before he began typing on his computer, it wasn't that he didn't care, he did care very a lot thank you very much, but he couldn't sit around and be depressed when two of their friends\teamates where missing, he would understand if Bou did, he had the nerve to get Ayako angry, nothing weird would be if he pissed of a spirit or two, but John, he never hurt a fly and was so kind it was hard not to feel at ease around him.

Naru continued to stare at Mai until Minami returned, she stared at Mai in shock, but the shock quickly faded when she saw Lin's back, something was making her worry about Lin more than she wanted to admit.

"Koujo~!" she sang as she bounced over and laid her hands around his shoulder's, just for fun of course, since she knew how he would react, he froze and stopped typing, then he turned, slightly red-faced "what?" Minami leaned in, her breath tickling his neck "I lo" "Hatoshi-san, was there something you needed?" Naru asked, braking off Minami and she shook her head to get rid of this annoying feeling "no, nothing in particular.. but I was wondering" she stood up and turned away from Lin, who was blushing deeper than he probably have ever done.

"What?" Naru asked, still siting close to Mai, Minami looked dead serious, almost as if she was about to ask about Gene or something, then she suddenly smiled, putting a finger against her cheek "can I borrow Koujo for some seconds?" Ayako had to turn away to cover up her laugh, as well as Masako who hid it behind her sleeve.

"Lin?" Naru asked, not to ask the Chinese, but repeating it in his head several times "okay.. just be quick" Naru finished with a smirk and Lin was sure he said that just to be evil "damn you Naru!"

And so, Minami took the poor Chinese man's arm and dragged him out of the room, probably off to somewhere were they couldn't heard.

After the door closed, Ayako finally exploded and laughed out loud, Masako giggled loud behind her kimono-sleeve as Naru just continued to smirk, fully knowing what was going on.


Hehe.. I was told Minami is a little like Madoka, and that's true XD

reviews though.. or I won't let Naru and the rest find John and Bou.. I'm serious! and it all depends on Mai too!
