Okay, so here's the next chapter.. sadly I don't own Ghost Hunt..

File 8.

Twice the Hauntings.

"John!" a female voice called, making three of four children and one priest turn around.

"Ayako-san..." John said as she hurried over, when she saw the children though, she could barely hold back her laughter, Gene and Mai was sitting on a table while Natalie was underneath and pouting, mini-Naru just stood beside John, he slowly turned and stared back at them, thus Ayako stopped snickering like an idiot.

In the end, Bou and Ayako had to walk away to survive Naru's glares, if they survive their own attacks of laughter that is, Yasuhara was smirking like he usually did and Naru just knew he would tell this to his own grandchildren, well, the thought of how Yasuhara's children and grandchildren would be, scared him slightly so he stopped his train of thought right there.

"I think we should start searching.." Yasuhara finally said while plain out ignoring the glare he got from the pint-sized boss.

Seemingly, non of them, except Lin had understood that Naru was in fact himself "then.. Osamu-san, stay here with Matsuzaki-san!" Lin said and turned away, the mini-Naru made an attempt of following them, but Ayako grabbed him the hem of his dark blue jumper and pulled him back to the playground, Bou's laughter roamed the empty halls of the hospital as they walked away and it seemed to annoy the small narcissist to the point of sending a very heavy painting down the hall after the monk, not that anyone blame the small boy since they all agreed that Bou was in over his feet if he did anything more.

But even if they searched for day and night it was impossible "it's like they disappeared into think air!" Bou complained as they all entered the playground, Mai was leaning against mini-Naru, who was, to their surprise and mild amazement asleep as well, his head leaning on top of Mai's, the small form of Gene was watching them with a smile on his face as Natalie also began to slumber, soon, she was lying on the twin's lap and sleeping.

It took all of the strength Bou, John, Ayako and Lin had to keep the monk from laughing hard and waking the children "do you know how long it took for them to finally fall asleep!" Ayako hissed at him as Gene looked at them with his large, blue and innocent, childlike eyes.

But if it fooled anyone, it didn't fool Lin who walked over and crouched beside the boy "is it okay to take them out of this hospital?" Gene nodded "I think so.. I haven't heard or felt that demon, he might appear, but it's better to know right.. and someone please take this young girl, she's actually a little heavy!" he complained after finished his talk with Lin, who walked over and picked up both Mai and Naru, Bou took up Nataile as Gene just followed closely, but before they had exited the hospital, his eyes was also dropping "it's so tiring, it never was before.." then he closed his eyes and slumped against Ayako's waiting arms.

"Man, these kids sleep hard!" Bou said as they entered the second building, he was referring to all four of them, but mostly to Naru and Mai who was both sleeping heavily against the Chinese man's chest, Lin smiled "Naru has always been like that.." "his brother too?" Ayako asked and Lin nodded "they where very alike on that matter, as well as some other" he stopped there, if he said anything more, the first thing the narcissistic boss would do when he woke up, was to kill him.

The borrowed a large room from the nurses and put the children to bed, Gene and Natalie in one and the other two in the other bed, wich lead to Naru hugging the small girl in his sleep and she folding her arms around his waist as well, this lead to Bou and Ayako having to be dragged out of the room because they where snickering so badly.

Day 5.

The first thing the grown-ups found in the morning was Mai and Naru sitting on the couch, according to Lin, Gene liked to sleep until it was almost afternoon and apparently it was like this with Natalie too.

"Um.. Mai-chan.. Naru-chan, why are you up already?" Bou asked, his voice braking through their trance-like behaviour and they both looked up at him "I couwdn't sweep" the girl complained and Ayako translated it to ''I couldn't sleep'' Naru just ignored him though, wich made him sweat drop "Naru-chan~" he complained and sat down on a chair in front of them as Ayako handed him a cup of tea, this lead to him complained about it not being cute Mai who brought the tea and how he liked hers better, in wich, Ayako slammed the tray into his head with such force that the sound gave a echo through most of the building.

"Argh.. not in front of the children!" Bou nearly screamed in an over-dramatic way, this made most of the people in the room laugh, well, except Naru and Mai, he didn't laugh because it wasn't funny according to him and she, just couldn't understand it, being in her childish mind and memory right now.

"Well then.." Lin coughed and everyone stopped laughing "we should probably start investigating what happened here 16 years ago as well as what's happening now!" they all nodded, even Naru who seemed to be busy pealing the girl off of him, she was, much like any other child using him as a ladder to get on top of the couch "Mai.. get off!" he complained, but she seemed to be deaf, so to save both their boss from hurting anyone and Mai from being hurt, Ayako grabbed her and walked out with her in her arms "I'll take her for a walk, you fill me in later!" then she was gone and everyone let out a sigh of relief "how did you manage those years back when she was in high school?" he asked Naru, who raised an eyebrow "she was worse as a kid than in high school, if she was like that in high school, she would use you as a ladder to play with!" Naru just stated.

Bou snorted "thank you very much for filling me in Naru-chan!" he thought as turned back to Lin "so, what did you find out?" "according to what Osamu-san found out, their real mother disappeared the day after their birth, no traces was left.. they did find a pile of ash in the girl's room though, the day she disappear.." Naru nodded "when a demon kill a human, the human turn to ash.. according to Mai, their mother did just so.." Lin looked back at the paper "also, the girls have similar scars on their ribs.. both sides and they have, to doctors complained about pain when stretching and.. Naru.." he stopped and stared right at the child, who looked down at the floor before back up with his usual dark eyes "yes?" "Mai is.." "no, not fully.. but partly.."

Bou, John and Yasuhara just stared from the child to the Chinese, then back.

"Oi oi.. explain, don't go all code-like on us!" he complained and Naru glared "I'd rather keep it that way, this is for Mai to tell herself.. when she is ready for it!" the sound in his voice made them all get the seriousness of the matter, what had happened to Mai for her to get into trouble with a demon?

"So.. the demon, is there anything about exorcising it?" Bou asked, Lin and Naru stared at him with the dumbest look he had ever seen and it took at lot of his strength and maybe some fear for the two to not laugh at them.

Lin sighed "there isn't anything.. I think Mai-san knows something though... and she could always ask him" Naru raised an eyebrow "although she is special to him, how can we be sure he knows?" Lin shook his head "I'm not saying that he knows everything.. but he know a lot right... being the almighty and everything, Mai-san should be able to contact him" "when we find her yes!" Naru stated with an angered voice.

Bou and the rest just gawked at him, then he snapped too "alright, who is this him you're talking about, didn't I just say you should stop talking in codes!" John coughed "you are a monk right, Bou-san?" Bou stared at him "what does it look like?" "then.. you follow Buddha.. and not God.." John said as Bou's stare turned into a glare "so what?" Naru coughed "it's him we're talking about, the one and only God of this earth!" Bou turned back, his glare long gone and now his mouth was wide open, making Naru wanting to smack him to shut it "you mean.. that God, the one who's been making the earth blah blah blah?"

Now Naru was beginning to really think he was a monkey or something "have you ever listened to people when they tell you things from the bible!" Naru asked in a sarcastic way, wich made Bou glare "I have.." "then you should know!" and that was where they stopped it before Bou found a good reason to strangle the mini version of his boss.

"Nothing else has been written until recently when the girls celebrated their 16th birthday, apparently three young and very healthy, female nurses from this hospital disappeared that day, leaving ash behind on their last spot" he finished and looked at Naru, almost expecting him to shout "I know I know, and I know how to stop this all" but he didn't, it almost disappointed him to some point.

Suddenly the door was slammed open and Ayako came in, she looked out of mind as she scurried in and didn't even bother to close the door, she held Mai in her arms "she collapsed.. after she complained about pain in her right ribs.." Naru moved away from the couch so Ayako could put the unconscious child there, then the boy took the girls hand and looked at her face, she was sweating and crying in her sleep as faint hissing left her.

"Mai.." Naru let out and frowned as Ayako sat down and pulled up the shirt Mai had on, but just a little up, enough to expose the scar, but not enough to expose the child's chest.

"Naru, what did she get that scar from, it's not a normal scar and don't go with an accident with a car or something, because there's no way a car accident can cause that kind of injury!" she stated and Naru looked at her "I thought you'd understood long ago Matsuzaki-san.." he said and looked at Mai again "that demon that attacked her some days ago.. attacked her as well when she was small, but her parents saved her.." he didn't tell them that he had been there as well, it would only lead to more questions and he was definitely not in the mood to tell them about her and his life and the time they spent together.

Everyone except Naru and Lin had a shocked expression on their face "what?" Bou asked "you heard what I said and I won't repeat it!" Naru stated and the monk nodded, he, like the rest had heard the sound in Naru's voice and yet again understood that this was not something he wanted to talk about, ever.

"Naru-chan... what should we do?" Bou asked, slowly this time if Naru found it funny to try and strangle him or something "wait till she wakes up or.." then he spaced out and seemed to fall into a trance of some sort.

"Na.." Bou began, but Lin stopped him "those two share a very deep and rare connection, he can enter her mind like she can do to him.. and even share thoughts.." he explained "like telepathy?" Yasuhara asked and Lin nodded "yes.. I don't know when that happened, but I suspect it happened not so long ago.." "like.. after they this second time?" John asked and Lin nodded yet again.

"Third time actually!" this girlish voice made them spin around and looked at Mai and Naru, the girl was now leaning on her elbow and using her other hand to rub her head.

"Sorry for worrying you Ayako.. I didn't mean to, it just hurt so much so.." they all just gawked, then Lin nodded in amazement towards Naru, who smirked back "t-third time Mai-chan?" Bou asked, the girls looked up at him with her brown eyes "y-yeah.. we met once when we where kids!" she explained, somehow it was ironic, right now, they where in fact both at the same age as they where when they first met, except it seemed she had remembered herself.

Bou gawked, the other's except Lin followed soon after "so you mean.. you mean that you two are.. childhood friends?" John asked and Mai smiled as she nodded "yeah.. I guess we are.."
