File 8.

Twice the Hauntings.

The room had been very silent since Mai had told the team about her and Naru's past together, in fact it was way too silent for anyone and quickly Bou teased Ayako on purpose for something or another and then she ended up whacking him in the head while he ran around the room with her almost jumping after.

The children was still siting on the couch, but Mai seemed very sleepy and was leaning against Naru more and more until she fell completely asleep, thus she fell down from his shoulder and much to Naru's embarassement and annoyance did she fall on top of his lap.

"M-Mai!" he complained, but when he saw Mai's sleeping face he almost melted right there and then, he had found out the girl or woman of that matter made him melt in a very good way, she always found a way of making him smile lately too, that of course annoyed him to no end seeing that he was a narcissist to the core "did Mai-san fall asleep?" John asked and the two fighters stopped to watch the little girl sleeping on the narcissist's lap.

"Seems so.." Naru said after some seconds of silence, suddenly he furrowed his eyebrows and stared at the girl before he stared down at himself for some odd reason.

"Naru-chan?" Bou asked as the young child began to fall asleep too, but he knew he wasn't tired in any way, was this a sign of them appearing as themselves again?

"Naru!" Lin stood up as the child's eyelids began to drop "hm?" was all that came out, right now he even sounded content at some point but no one dared to point it out.

Soon, his head fell backwards and he was leaning against the back of the couch, sleeping just as heavy as Mai.

"Bou-san, please put them to bed, Brown-san, please go with him and watch over them, the two men nodded and picked up the children, Ayako and Yasuhara watched them as they left with the children in their arms, Lin turned back to the computer and began typing, then Yasuhara got the better of him and just had to ask "are they disappearing as well now?" Lin turned back to them "I don't know.. or they might be returning to themselves.. I'm not sure" the other two nodded and was about to continue their conversation when the door opened and Toane came in through it "I'm wondering, where's Natalie?" she asked, Ayako stood up "I'll lead the way, she is probably asleep yet in the room we borrowed for the kids to sleep in.." she gave Lin an odd look before she left with the oldest sister.

"Osamu-san, you can leave if you want too.." Lin stated and the younger man smiled "that'd be good, I have university to attend too soon.." then he excused himself, told Lin to say hi to the rest when they came back and left.

Down the hall, Ayako entered the room the children where resting and Toane quickly followed "Natalie.." she whispered as she walked over and sat down beside the bed where her sister in child form where sleeping, the boy sitting beside her "she's asleep yet, she sleeps very hard and long.." Gene commented and Toane chuckled "that's my little sister for you.. I've never met anyone with a sleeping heart as good as hers!" most of the occupants of the room laughed, even John had to laugh though lower since he was sitting closest to Mai and Naru, who was both asleep in their bed.

Suddenly Gene's head dropped slightly "your sleepy?" Toane asked, the boy shook his head "not really.. it's just time to go I guess.." "what do you mean?" she asked yet again, Ayako placed a hand on her shoulder as the boy began to fade "Natalie probably wont remember this, it'll probably be a dream, I can't promise the same for those two though!" those two being Naru and Mai.

"Natalie-san.. you see, Eugene.. he isn't alive.." Ayako tried, not really sure how to say it, Toane just stared up at her "then why is he here?" "because I'm always around to watch over Mai.." he explained and Toane turned back to him "y-you are dead!" the rest of the occupants that was awake stared at her "welcome after!" most of them thought.

"Yes.. I am.." Gene stated slowly and smiled as the teenager stared back at him in shock, she nodded slowly as well, but she didn't really want to admit she was talking to a ghost while awake.

"Then.. bye.." Gene said before he disappeared into think air, leaving the room slightly to silent, but soon John took the chance to talk "it's been like that with Mai-san and Shibuya-san too.. are they.." probably, but since they are alive, they can't die.. I think.. so hopefully they'll return to their bodies and come back as soon as they wake up..." they other's hoped she was right, it wouldn't do well if Mai and Naru died in their children form either, what would Lin say to Naru's parents if he died, oh that would lead to trouble.

"John, can you tell Lin that they're probably going to appear as themselves again!" Ayako asked, the priest nodded and hurried off to the base.

As soon as John came back though, both Naru and Mai had disappeared and Ayako was looking very worried "they're gone.." she began as she heard a beautiful voice filling the corridors, it struck them right into their hearts because of of the featherlight feeling to it, the calmness, warmth and peace that came with it made them all smile somewhat silly.

Just then, John got up "I know where that song comes from.." he said, he looked like he was almost dreaming, yet he looked panicked as they all, rushed out of the room, except Toane who stayed to watch over her sleeping sister.

They all nearly ran down the hall as John exclaimed "I've heard this once before, that time I was still in Australia in the church, when I heard the song, I asked a local priest and he said it was an Angel who sang it, according to him, there lives about ten angels in each continent, but who can be sure now.. he said that more and more of them was found killed or disappeared off the earth.. I also learned that the song is holy.. a prayer to God.." as they ran out of the seconds building and neared the main, they saw a shimmering light from some of the first floors windows "that.. also appeared when the Angel sang.. apparently!" John told them.

They entered the main building and almost dropped to the floor when they saw what was going on "is that .. really Mai-chan?" Bou asked after a while, the others nodded, seconds later Lin appeared and stared at them, then at Mai, or whoever it was, then they saw the form of Naru, he was leaning against the wall and looking really tired, but when they could see that it wasn't from being away from his body, it was for using his powers.

Mai was sitting on the floor, in the middle of the room and singing the most beautiful song they had ever heard, it was so happy and peaceful, yet sad and full of melancholy, what caught them off guard though was a scene non of them would ever forget in their entire life.

Wings, snow-white, large wings was sprouting from Mai's spin, or from right under her shoulder blades, the formed nicely, but seemed to be to large for the room as they hit the roof once or twice.

Mai's hair was in the same colour, white as snow in the early morning sun and she was folding her hands in the manner of a prayer, her eyes where closed and she wore a smile of her lips.

"Woah.. that's.. different from the Mai we know.." Ayako commented as they all watched her sing out her song, the golden aura around her filled the whole room and soon she opened her eyes, looking up, into nothing with a pair of electrifying, light blue eyes, she continued to sing as she smiled even more.

Then she stopped singing as the light faded slowly, her wings disappeared with it, as if it was just and illusion, her hair went back to brown and her eyes also turned brown, she sighed and looked at Naru, then "oh.. are you alright.. I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed and crouched beside Naru, who looked up at her "the rest are here.." he said with a low voice and her head spun around till she caught sight of them, her eyes went wide and her whole face turned into fright and horror, she had displayed som of her powers before, but not in this manner and not with wings and all.

"P-please forget what y-you saw.." she whispered as Bou frowned "what for Mai-chan?" Lin placed an hand on his shoulder and whispered into his ear "she's afraid you'll all back off, seemingly terrified by her appearances.." this only made Bou frown more "Mai-chan is still Mai-chan!" he said stubbornly and Mai's eyes widened even more, then she cracked into a smile, tears glistering in her eyes "thank you Bou-san.." she said as Naru placed a hand on her shoulder "did you get anything about the demon?" he asked, she looked down at him.

"Yes in fact I did.." she stated as a very dangerous smile made it's way onto Naru's face "then.. let's kill it!" Mai shivered, it seemed Naru had a personal vendeta against the demon for some reason.

"Naru, why are you so.." Mai began "who tried to kill you four times now!" he stated and she paled as she understood "okay, stupid question.." she finally said and looked down.
