File 10.
The Traumatizing Summer.
14th June.
Day 1.
Naru got out of the car and looked up at the somewhat old house, it looked very nostalgic, yet it gave off a shine that said 'don't enter, don't come any closer' someone brushed past him and he stared at the back of his fiancé, her long, brown hair and beautiful body waltzing away from him, someone appeared in the doorway to the house and a man in his mid 40's appeared, he smiled to them "welcome, you are?" he smiled at them "my name is Taniyama Mai" Mai bowed and he greeted himself as Takahashi Dai.
Naru walked up to them, it seemed he had Takahashi met when he had come to them with their case.
A Day Before.
The door bell jingled and Lin came into the main "may I help you?" he asked the man that had entered, he looked very confused, probably because he had expected the psychic research agency to be filled dark and probably dangerous objects while the people would be just as dark, scary and doom-looking, well, he got a good first eye on the place, until Naru in his usual demeanor arrived.
Mai hadn't heard all the details, she had been home that day because she was feeling sick again, she had been feeling like that a lot lately and it worried her a lot.
What she had heard was that the case about a family that had just moved to the new house from Europe, she hadn't heard where, but it didn't really matter, but about a week after they had arrived, they had a visit from the wife's sister, she had been pregnant in the third month and so everyone was happy, until they one day found her in the hallway, passed out and her child, gone.
It appeared that something had taken the child, seeing there was no trace of any child, just the fact that there had been a child and there was no sign of abort.
And that, about summed it up, except the fact that any pregnant woman that came on a visit for just hours, would get hurt, but any pregnant woman that lived there for over two days lost their babies, other people that visited, well, mostly females would get hurt.
"Mai, come on!" Mai was brought back to the reality as Naru called her, she looked at him and Lin, they both stood in the door way, both on their way inside the house and Naru looked like he wasn't really in the mood right now for her to fool around, in fact, he had been a little like that ever since he had proposed and she knew that he was still a little angry about her telling his mother about him proposing by message.
"Yes.." she said and walked up the stairs to the more English-styled house, as she walked over the door step she froze "you whore.. you will pay for sleeping with other men!" she looked around, the voice belonged to a man, someone in his late 40's and had a hoarse, very evil voice.
"Mai?" Naru was looking at her, but now worry was covering his face.
She looked at him "a man.. I think, has a grude against a woman he thought belonged to him, maybe a wife or fiancé" she stated and he nodded, the only one who stared at Mai in shock was Takahashi "wha.." was all that came out from him, Mai just smiled "I'm a medium.." he nodded, then "what's a medium?" Mai chuckled "a medium is one who can see and speak with a ghost, I'm more than just a medium so.." this time Takahashi nodded understanding.
Mai and the rest entered a large living room, in the said room, a woman and a teenager sat, well, she looked older than a teen, like in her 20's, but Mai knew she wasn't.
"Nina!" the girl turned her head and looked at Mai, who had said the name in the first place, then "Mai!" she shot up and soon the two joined into a giggling, squealing, hugging mass.
"Mai, you know her?" Naru asked, Mai and the girl named Nina stopped, then his fiancé smiled "yes, she's a friend from Norway, I met her when me and my mom went there once, we became good friends.." then she turned back and began talking fast in another language with Nina, all they got out of the conversation was something like 'bra å se deg' 'savna deg sånn' 'hvorfor er du her?'(1) Naru didn't understand a thing, but didn't bother to ask since he saw both Takahashi and the wife sigh, then the said woman stood up and bowed slightly "I'm Anika.. Dai Anika.." she didn't say any more and Takahashi explained it as to her not being good with Japanese yet, but Nina was, she was, according to Anika she was a fast learner.
"That girl, she has a good language, but whenever she meets someone who's a friend, her mouth is never shut, I'm sure of it!" Takahashi said and Anika chuckled as Naru and Lin sat down in one of the couches, while Anika sat down again and Takahashi joined her, Mai and Nina both smirked at each other and ran off somewhere and seeing that they had just met since ages ago, Naru wouldn't be seeing them in a long time.
"So, has anything happened?" Naru asked, he had noticed that something was off, Anika looked at him and then down at her lap, Takahashi nodded "yes, in fact it has, but it wasn't anything bad.. and we could just tell it off as an accident.. a young teenager, that is in the same class as Nina just came on a visit, well, yesterday.. Nina is already used to this, but her friend was a little shaken.. a very heavy box was pushed onto her, it hit her head hard and she is still at home, dizzy and such, the box was on top of a shelf, so we just said it probably was standing on the edge, the box itself is over 20 kilos.. so.." Naru nodded and Lin wrote it down.
"So.. has any.." Naru started as they heard a hard thud from the seconds floor, right above their heads in fact.
Naru looked up while his eyebrows furrowed "Mai?" there was no answer "Mai!" "hn.. hurts.." was all that came from this and he shot up.
The rest watched him leave as Anika and Takahashi looked after him "to be so scary.. you boss is really caring about his colleagues.." Lin smiled "she's not only his colleague, she's his assistant and fiancé" they both gawked "what.. seriously!" Lin nodded, almost to serious "they look a bit young.." Anika stuttered, Lin chuckled "she's soon 21 and he is soon 22 years old.." they nodded as they heard another thud, then.
A scream filled the house and the three jumped from their seats.
Suddenly another voice called too "Oliver!"
Day 2.
Mai held her head and winced "hurts.." then she stopped and looked into her fiancé's direction "how is it Oliver.. does it hurt?" she asked, he turned to her and stared "I hurt because I don't think about it!" then he nearly winced as well, he had in fact thought about it now and that hurt.
It seemed someone or something had first pushed Mai against the floor, making it look like she had stumble in a carpet, then, when Naru had arrived, he had been thrown against the wall, then the floor, Mai screamed his real name without realising, but Nina had saved her from that with a 'she wasn't herself when she screamed' and thus her parents let it go, Lin didn't bother to ask since he knew.
"When does the rest arrive?" Mai asked, ten minutes felt like ten hours right now and Mai was very bored, Naru was sitting on the couch, Mai leaning against his shoulder, he was reading his file, once again and Mai was half asleep by now.
"Later!" he said and continued to read, Mai sighed, just then, she gasped and shot up, dizziness caught her and she had to stumble back and forth some times before she managed to regain her balance "Mai?" Naru asked, but as soon as he had, she wasn't there anymore, there door was wide open and he heard steps down the hall, towards the bathroom, Lin turned and looked after her and then he turned to Naru "what's wrong with Mai-san?" Naru shook his head "I don't know.."
Mai returned soon, but left half an hour later for the same reason, Naru had never seen her so pale and unhealthy before, she dropped out to dinner and stayed in her room, when the rest arrived, Mai stayed in bed and Ayako went to see her.
"Probably just a bad day" she stated and Naru glared "she's been like this since last week.." this made Ayako dropp her chin on her floor.
"So.. the case is?" Bou asked, he had ignored everyone for now, except Ayako for some reason and he seemed to not wanting her to be on the case.
"Ghost's who attacks anyone and takes a pregnant woman's child!" Naru stated and Bou disappeared somewhere, they could hear him shout something in the distance and the one replying was, Ayako.
They all looked at each other, a smirk made it's way to Naru's lips while Lin and Masako both sighed and John just smiled.
Suddenly the whole room blinked, somehow he got a feeling it wasn't just that room, they couldn't hear Ayako anymore, but Bou appear "somehow, Ayako ended up outside.. I'll join her in seconds, this is happening all over the house.
"Oliver!" it made him freeze to the core, Naru stared into oblivion and everyone stared at him, suddenly Masako gasped "his here.. no.. he, the man is in Mai's room!" she whispered as Naru ran by her and out of the room.
Naru ran up the stairs with the rest right behind, he slammed the door to Mai's room open and stared at what he saw, something hovered over Mai's limp form in the bed, she was lying on top in her normal clothes, face covered and a hand dingling from the bed.
"Mai!" Naru glared at the ghost as Lin made a high pitch sound and his shiki's arrived, scaring off the ghost.
But before they even hit the ghost, it dissolved and left them in a room without any trace of paranormal, but the heavy smell of blood lingered in the room, it was in fact so heavy that everyone except Naru and Lin dared to enter the room "Mai?" he turned her around, thankfully she didn't have any wounds, her eyes closed and she didn't react to anything, not even his own thoughts.
"Call an ambulance.." Naru said, it seemed to be to low as Bou stuck his head inside "what did you say Naru-chan?" "call the ambulance!" Naru shouted this time, well they heard it now so.
"What happened?" Bou asked, Masako though was looking into the middle of the room "there's a spirit.. it hovers around Mai.. it's not a bad spirit, it's young, a child.. no, a baby.. a boy I think, it's calling for his mother" she stated and everyone looked around, just then Naru heard something.
"Please.. save me.. I want to go back to my mommy.. mama Mai!"
... ... ... please don't kill me ... ... ...
(1) bra å se deg = good to see you
savna deg sånn = missed you so
hvorfor er du her? = why are you here?
That above is translation of the text :D
Yes, I know I hurt Mai, somehow she always ends up hurt.. so Fairy of Music and Literature, it wasn't Naru after all.. ^-^ even though he got a little hurt too in the beginning...
Review.. please?
