File 12.
Bloody Secret.
Blood, there was blood everywhere!
Mai turned and turned, she was running in blood and her legs, hands and elbows where stained by the blood, tears streamed down her face as she ran around "please no.. please don't.." she whispered, people where scattered around her, everyone was thorn and missing one or all limbs, everyone looked like they where asleep though, if they're eyes weren't open so that she could see their eyes, making her guilty.
Then people she knew appeared, Nina, Natalie, Toane and so on, even little Ayumi from their first doll case, the families from that hotel when Mai found out Naru had special powers too.
"Why?" she screamed, no one answered and she didn't need one either, then the ones she cared the most about began to appear, John, Bou, Ayako and Masako, then Lin and Minami, lying by each other, their eyes looking right at Mai with the 'it's your fault' look and she backed off until her feet met another body, she turned, almost expecting it to be Naru's, but when she turned she screamed, in front of her laid her parents, their white hair stained red and their blue eyes giving away no emotions, she backed off and began to run again "how did I get into this mess?" she saw Luella and Martin once as she passed, but she was to frightened to stop, suddenly she stopped, in front of her, her fiancé stood, he was holding a large knife and he was a bloody mess, if he hadn't been smiling she might have thought it was someone else too, but she didn't ask what was going instead she backed off "no.. Oliver.." he shook his head "it's your fault Mai, for being so oblivious.." he raised the knife slowly as he walked towards her, she backed off, but he was faster and soon she felt cold steel against her skin.
And Mai screamed.
8th August.
Day 1.
Mai had probably never screamed like that, Naru desided, well, there was that one time when she dreamt that she was killed by those men in that labyrinth of a house, but this time, he knew it was much more different.
"Mai!" he shook her awake and as soon as she saw him she began to cry, hard too, he wondered why she did it, she was 21 for gods sake, oh well.
He hugged her and rocked her slowly, while brushing her hair with his hand "it's okay.. Mai.. relax, it's okay" he told her, she looked up at him with her tearful eyes and he nearly ravished her just to make her stop crying "what?" he asked, she dried a tear and smiled up, but her smiled was somewhat sad or, forced? Yeah, Naru was sure now that it was forced "Mai?" he asked and she blinked at him "hm?" "what did you dream.. I didn't really like that smile of yours.." she paled and looked down "... you.. " she stopped herself and looked up at him, once again her tears spilled out of her eyes "your where all dead.. I mean, everyone I've met, except you.." she stated and cried harder for each second, Naru almost chuckled "and what about me?" this made her pull away from him and he stared in shock at her "Mai?" she looked away from him, avoiding his eyes as she hesitated with what to do and say.
"Mai!" Naru exclaimed and grabbed her hands, she flinched and struggled a little, then she stopped as she saw the look in his eyes "Oliver.." "Mai.. please.. tell me" she nodded slowly "y-you.. killed everyone.. and then.. me.." she whispered the last part and she didn't look up to see his shocked features "Mai.. I did?" she nodded and finally looked up "Oliver.. I think it's a new.. case.." Mai stated, trying to forget the frightening memories.
Naru soon learned that Mai was very right about that, because when they both came to the office, they where both surprised with the client that was already there, it was a woman in her mid 40's, she had long, curly, brown hair and she looked more like an average woman, if the scowl on her face made such an obvious sight.
"Are you the boss?" she addressed Naru, Mai blinked and nearly gawked, no one talked like that towards Naru and got away with it, oh well, the colleagues might not, but clients do, Mai looked away with a frown and took of her jacket, Naru just nodded and got out of his own jacket, while putting away the phone he had in his hand "yes, I'm Kazuya Shibuya" Naru stated and Mai walked over to her desk, ignored the huge mountain of paperwork that had piled up since the last week "good, I have a case I want you to take!" the woman said and Mai looked at her from over her shoulder "she didn't.." she thought and looked at the woman in shock.
Lin just came ot of his office in time to hear it as well and stared between the woman and Naru for a long time, before Mai moved, she turned to make tea while Lin gabbed his laptop, only Naru stayed where he stood for a lot longer than necessary, the woman sat down on the couch and looked around as if she owned the place, Naru hated that woman after three minutes in the same room as her, but he ignored it while think that it was just work, she was the client and he could not kill her.
Mai could hear Naru start a conversation in the main room, well, asking name and such, while she concentrated on making tea for the people on the room as well as herself.
While Mai waited she looked out of the window, just a month ago, Mai was being stalked, of course she was saved, Naru even tried to murder the stalker at some point, but they managed to stop him, Mai turned back to the tea as thoughts came her way "I wonder why she hasn't flinched away because of Naru's glare.. it's quite obvious that he doesn't like this woman" Mai chuckled, Lin could be rather dense sometimes, but he had it in him to ask such questions too, to bad he didn't ask out loud, it would be fun to watch.
Mai didn't even try on Naru because she could hear that later, it was the woman's mind that interested her "what a young boss, he can't seriously mean he is the boss, I mean.. he is young, handsome and such, but in the business like this, it's weird.. very weird.. he's basically just a child!" Mai frowned, jealousy made her clench the handle of the pot hard as she poured hot water into four cups, then she sat the cups on a tray and walked into the room with the tea, she gave one to the client, one to Naru and one to Lin, then she sat down beside Lin, not wanting to get close to the woman, at all, she could still read her thoughts and they irritated her to no end.
"And what is she doing then.. assistant? Must be, then that man, he is really handsome and... but still, just young people, they probably don't have much experience either" Mai frowned and noticed how the woman was looking at her "and no fashion sense at all, neither of them.. the men kind of fit black, but that girl should have dropped beige top to dark brown pants.. seriously" Mai glared down into her tea as her fingers clenched around the cup.
"Oliver... please talk, so she won't think such stupid thoughts.. I'm going to go mad!" Mai complained mentally and he looked at her "I'll see if I can" his tone bore hints of amusement and Mai glared at him.
"Your name is?" Naru asked, the woman looked pointedly at him "Harafuki Aoko.." she stated and Naru nodded while Lin typed it down "and you live?" "in Shiba.." Lin continued to type and stay silent as Mai continued to read the woman's mind if she wanted to hide something, Naru nodded again and looked at her in silence for a second "then, what do you need our help with?" Naru asked and the woman stared from Mai, to Lin to him "people have disappeared from my home lately... I thought at first they just ran off somewhere and hid, but there was traces of blood on places.. their blood" "so they haven't just been killed!" "no.. the police couldn't find the bodies, so I want you to find them.. if they are still in the house.." Naru looked at Mai, even though he didn't want to, he had to ask her "Mai.." she turned to him and nodded, albeit hesitatingly.
"Um.. can you please take my hand?" Mai asked Aoko, who stared back in wonder and shock, then she nodded, slash shook her head, thought she did reach her hand out and Mai took it, pictures swirled around in her head and she backed off, giving Naru an odd look "it doesn't give off a human kidnapping or killing.. it's probably done by a spirit.." Mai stated and Naru nodded "we'll take the case, please leave us your address and we'll come tomorrow" he said and Aoko nodded, they all stood up to get to their own business when Mai caught one last thought from the woman as she walked away "how come they desided that just like that.. hm, that girl" Mai turned away "that woman.." she whispered, suddenly hands wrapped around her and she yelped as she was brought close to a certain narcissist.
"O-Oliver" she gasped as he kissed her cheek "what's wrong, you seem to be frowning a lot today.." she chuckled "it's just.. she called me a girl.. she called us children and.. and.." she fell silent, Naru glared at the door, someone actually called them children "and?" he asked "she thought you where young, handsome, but young.. Lin-san too and she thought that we didn't have much experience since we were so young" this made Naru growl "no experience.. hm, arrogant much?" Mai gawked, then she puffed her cheeks "wrong person saying it!" the was a hint of amusement in her voice though and Naru glared at her, but it was obvious it had no effect "what do you mean by that!" "your a narcissist, before you where arrogant and selfish.." she was about to continue that sentence if Naru hadn't kissed her "shut up.." he whispered against her lips and kissed her again, she eagerly complied and pushed against him.
Soon they parted for air and Mai found herself pushed against the wall, while Naru was pressing against her "O-Oliver.." she panted and her arms found their way around the man's neck.
"Mai.. soon.. marry me.. okay!" the man asked and Mai turned beet red, she tried to calm herself as she nodded, but found it impossible when his lips where on hers again.
