Again, I don't own... darn..

File 12.

Bloody Secret.

Day 2.

Mai sighed as she finally managed to get out of the car, a trip that was supposed to be half an hour ended up two hours because of the rush hour between Shiba and Shibuya, why did it happen to her?

"Mai, are you coming!" Naru called, Mai spun around and ran after the two men, of course was she spacing out as well.

They all walked up towards a Japanese looking house, the garden on the left side was filled with sweet smelling trees, oh Mai just loved the summer, Aoko met them by the door and stared at them as they closed in on her and the house.

Her eyes made it from Lin on Naru left side to Mai on Naru's right side and the woman shivered, then she edged closer to Naru "welcome" Aoko stated and turned, they all walked after her into a fashioned hall, they all left their shoes by the door and walked through the house till Aoko stood in front of a large room "here's the room I made for you.. there's two rooms on the right side of this room, the door's are over there, there's two bathrooms in this house so you can use the one down the hall, the first on after the rooms, on the left.." Naru, Mai and Lin walked into the room, it was just like any usual room, but there was placed desks around in the room and there was more than enough chairs.

"Wow.. it's nice in here.." Mai thought and walked around in the room, tatami floor and easy beds that a placed in shelves behind walls, there was only slide doors and windows of the same as well.

"Mai" Mai turned and smiled "what is it Oliver?" she asked, he smiled back as she walked over to him "what did you see?" she looked dumbfounded "what, saw what?" he sighed "the vision.. you saw her past didn't you?" she nodded "yeah.. blood, beside either a cup of tea or something, even a dish full of water, but instead of water, there was blood, and there was marks after someone's hand beside it every time, like, they're hands where bloody and they where dragged away, leaving a bloody scene" she explained and trembled slightly.

Somehow her dream made it to her mind again and she shivered "I think.." she began and looked into his eyes "that my dream really does have something to do with this case" she stated and he nodded, his hands landed on her shoulder's and they tightened, she nearly hissed and she blinked up at her fiancé "O-Oliver?" he didn't answer at first "maybe you shouldn't.." suddenly a hand was covering his mouth "Oliver, don't you dare, I won't go home, no matter what you say!" she said, sounding annoyed and frustrated, hos she managed that was a mistery for him.

"Mai, I'm just worried" Naru stated lowly and Mai turned red "Oliver.." it came out as a low whisper, yet loud enough for him to hear and he chuckled "what?" "I love you.." she stated, blushing deeply as he smiled, tilted her head up and kissed her, she soon returned the kiss and he smiled into it.

"If anything happens.." Naru began as they backed off "I'll send you home, got it!" she looked into his eyes and nodded.

After half a day, the rest of the team arrived and they all began to plan the case more throughout "so, there you have it.." Naru stated, as of the last half an hour, he had explained the case to those who hadn't heard what it was about, Ayako was sitting close to Bou and by the size of her stomach, well, she was good on her way.

"But.. how can we be sure that people aren't just kidnapped?" Bou asked, Naru raised and eyebrow and pointed at Mai with his thumb "because she checked it out!" the monk 'oh'ed and stared at Mai for several minutes before he sighed "so, how do they disappear?" Naru felt annoyance grow "that's what we're going to find out!" his eyes landed on Masako and he noted her pale features "Hara-san?" the said woman flinched and looked up at him "w-what?" Naru didn't walk any closer, just stood beside Mai, who looked worried "do you sense any spirits?" she shook her head, Mai took her fiancé's hand and squeezed he looked at her "Mai?" "I don't sense anyone either.. so, either it's good at hiding or it has left the house for now.."

Naru sighed "okay.. let's all get to the work"

Day 3.

Naru was officially annoyed, or rather irritated, it never took this long, he knew, just like the rest that spiritual problems tended to grow weaker or disappear when outsiders got in, he feared this was it too.

He sat down his fourth cup of tea that day, and it was just 10 am, no one else than John, Lin and he was awake, he knew where the rest was though and didn't blame them, he had been kind enough to let the women do less hard work, but they still had to and everyone ended up staying up to 2 am, even Naru was sleepy, he looked at the tea and found himself missing Mai's tea, or the woman herself.

So Naru stood up to wake up the woman, it wasn't that he was mean, he just wanted her with him, he had been feeling uneasy the whole day now and nothing helped to ease it "Mai.." he knocked on the door, but got no answer, he knocked some more, harder this time and soon Mai opened the door and looked out into the hall, her hair was a mess, compared to being long and brown that is, her eyes unfocused until she saw him "oh.. Oliver.. good morning" he smirked "it's soon afternoon" she blinked and laughed, albeit nervously.

"Mind joining me in the base?" Naru asked and Mai blushed "s-sure.. I'll just change into some other clothes.

It took her ten minutes to change and brush her hair, then she crept out of the door and closed it silently, Naru looked at her with an eyebrow raised in a questioning stance, Mai chuckled "Ayako is still asleep.. I figured she'd need the sleep.. she's soon going to be a mother, so she need all the rest she can have.." Naru chuckled too and grabbed onto Mai's waist, the younger woman gasped, then moaned as she was pulled into a rough kiss.

Suddenly they heard something, it sounded like scratching against wood and they stopped what they where doing, looking around with equally confused looks.

Naru turned and looked around, the source of the sound came from and Mai suddenly let out a whimper "Masako.. she's in the toilet..." she walked towards it while Naru just stood behind, staring after her before he snapped out of his trance.

"Toilet?" Naru hurried after Mai and was about to try the door when he heard a whisper, a cry for help from a woman he knew all to well and Mai let out a similar gasp alike to the one she let out just a minute ago "no.."

Mai felt something dispatch in front of her and Naru had to take a hold of her to make sure she didn't fall to the floor, the woman let out a loud sob, before tears fell down her cheeks "Masako!"

Day 4.

Everyone was worried, a whole day had passed since Masako had disappeared, Ayako had been, albeit angrily sent home by Bou, who was worried about her and a certain child residing in the woman's abdomen, Mai had refused flat out to leave and stayed, much to Naru's worry and annoyance.

No one knew where to find Masako, or even how she disappeared, all they knew, she was frightened and desperate.

The toilet was covered in blood, and traces where her hands had been left bloody mark of the walls as they glided down towards the floor and disappeared, Naru had to take a step back when he had seen it, Mai though, just like any other normal human, screamed, the other men arrived quickly enough and they where all shocked by the sight before them, there was no other trace except the blood that told them that Masako even had been in there, if they hadn't heard the medium call for help, trapped and dragged away?

So that lead them to always be in pairs, Naru moved into Mai's room, seeing that the other two women was gone, one missing and one went home, thus leading to him being pushed out of the bathroom in the early morning when Mai desided to take a shower, he had smirked and questioned it, she blushed and pushed him out, calling him a big pervert.

"Mai?" Naru called from the other side of the door, he heard the running water cease to a near stop "yes?" Naru tried to door and smirked, the woman had in fact forgotten to lock the door, there was still a second door in between them though, but he didn't try to enter "when your finished I'd like you to search for Hara-san!" he heard a small gasp "y-yes.. sure.." the water began to run again and Naru turned to leave when he heard a half choked shriek and spun around, he tried the door, but it was locked, he sighed "she locked it knowing I'd try didn't she!" he quickly got an answer to that one "yes, since you are a pervert!" Gene told him and he nearly hit his twin mentally.

"Gene.. now's not the time!" he pushed at the door, but it didn't open, when he tried to use his powers though, he found the real reason for not being able to open the door and that reason was that Mai was being attacked.

"Oliver.. help.."

Okay, I know that was short.. please forgive me for jumping so fast.. but the daily activity in between isn't really important..

So.. review though *stern look* or I'll send Lin's shiki's after you!
