Wohoo.. another chapter for you~

I don't own..

File 12.

Bloody Secret.

Mai and Naru had stumbled through the dark place for quite some time now, they still hadn't found Masako either and Mai was worried she'd died, but the mediums presence still lingered as strong as ever and Mai just followed that presence until she quite literary stumbled upon the woman, Naru bent down with her, Naru had taken the clothes of the bones so Mai could wear them, he would never forget the moment he found Mai by herself, if Gene could erase memories though, he would be doing so right now.

Well, Mai's blushed had probably never been any deeper than it was right then, oh he was going to tease her a lot from now on, but back to the reality, Mai shook the medium lightly and Naru had to wonder why she hadn't awoken yet, then of course, as if on cue, the woman opened her eyes and those blue orbs stared into Mai's brown ones "M-Mai?" she didn't see much more, it was dark, but not completely, it made everything gray-ish and darker, but they could very well see eash other and Masako gawked at Mai's figure "what's with the clothes?" Mai looked down at herself "it's.. I don't know, Naru fetched this for me.." Masako furrowed her eyes and noticed that the was no underwear on the poor woman, thus she glared at Naru since she had grown to care for Mai like a little sister.

Naru just looked away and stood up "mind if we continue now!" he stated and the two women sighed, but they followed him no less.

"Hey Mai.. where did he take you from?" Masako was now, not referring to Naru, she was in fact referring to the ghost, Mai looked at her and blushed "t-the shower.." Masako blushed too "t-that's.. horrid.." Mai nodded with a small smile, Naru was walking a little ahead of them, thus they could talk about different stuff, so they didn't have to think about their current situation, suddenly Naru stopped though and he didn't turn either, but Mai and Masako didn't call his nick name or true name, because they had both seen it, a white-gray orb floated three meters over Naru and they knew that if he didn't move, something would happen.

The orb floated downwards and Naru didn't react to the girls screams, but before the orb touched Naru, a white light filled ever thing and the orb disappeared, Naru stumbled backwards, seemingly he had gotten back to himself, then he turned "MAI!"

Outside of the house.

"Lin-san!" someone called as everyone exited the house, the had checked the old basement, but found no opening to get to the three missing people, Yasuhara noted their absence quickly, but didn't mention it, over the years, well, the last months he had learned that if someone was not there, they where missing.

"Osamu-san, what did you find?" Lin asked and Yasuhara shook his head "not much.. but I found this, and I couldn't find out what it was" he handed him a paper, there was a large gray space on the paper, with a red ring in the middle, the there was black lines around it, colouring that space as something else "this is!" Lin then understood "Harafuki-san, do you have the blueprints of your house?" she nodded and Bou went with her to fetch it, the sun came out from the clouds as they all gathered around Lin, who put the blueprint beside the picture, everyone gawked "this is?" Bou asked, Lin nodded.

"This is the space were the missing people went and that Naru, Mai-san and Hara-san is.. probably, then the opening must be that red ring.." they all nodded as Aoko stood up "I'm.. is it okay for me to leave?" Lin nodded "just to be sure, Osamu-san, can you keep her company, we'll call when we find out more" Yasuhara nodded in the middle, Aoko then went with Bou and John to fetch her stuff, then she left with Yasuhara, who drove the car to a nearby hotel, Bou looked at the old blueprint "so.. how large is this space?" Lin looked down at the paper.

"The current house is quite large, the length of it is around 150 meters.. then the space is.. two kilometers at the longest" the monk and the priest gawked as Lin explained "that's.. huge, where did someone build that?" Bou asked, Lin shook his head, then he looked at the parer again "it's Sankrit, can you read it?" he handed the blueprint to Bou, who blinked "I see.. it was made over a hundred years ago, no one probably knows that it still exists.."

"I wonder what.." Bou began as the whole area began to shake, then it stopped and they all looked at each other "an earthquake... strong one too" Bou stated, but Lin shook his head "that was no earthquake, it was a paranormal activity.."

Minutes Ago.

"MAI!" Naru ran over to the winged woman, who stumbled forward and fell to her knees, her eyes was clouded and her pure white wings was shaking terrible.

"Mai!" he shook her to get her back to normal, but before he could do any more, a hollow scream came out of no where and the whole place began to shake, like it was an earthquake, it quickly died down though and just as soon as it did, Mai came back to herself "huh.. Oliver.." her wings fell slightly and the feathers hits the blood, thus leading to half bloody wings that made it look quite, horrid to be speaking abou the truth.

Masako stared at the woman in slight shook and then she sighed "what was that about?" Mai blinked "that was him.. he wanted to take over Naru's body.. possess him, I just didn't want him too.."

"So.. where is he now?" Naru asked, the two women stared at the other before they stared around "I'm not sure, I can't sense him.." Masako stated while Mai looked very confused "eeh.." she yelled out and the two others blinked "what?" Naru asked in cheer terror of her being in trouble "h-he is gone.. like.. left.."

Naru gawked "WHAT?"

Mai blushed "I might have exorcised him... by accident.." Masako blinked "I guess that's fine, but how do we find back to the house?" Mai looked around "there has to be stairs or something, I haven't noticed any opening on eye-level.. so.." "try calling for Lin again" Naru said and she nodded.

"Lin-san?" "hn?" they all heard the sound that came from the Chinese man as Mai had taken both Naru's and Masako's hand "we don't need to worry about the ghost any more.." "what.. what do you mean?" Mai laughed nervously "I exorcised it by accident.." "oh.." they all gawked, that was his answer 'oh'? Darn, that Chinese man annoyed them sometimes.

Masako sighed "we still need to get back Mai" Mai smiled "have you found any opening, Lin-san?" "no.. not yet, but we think there is one, we're searching as we speak" Mai smiled "good, then.. we'll continue.. err.. I don't even know where.." she stopped and looked to her left "this way.." she let go off the other two and said bye to Lin, then she wandered off, Naru and Masako had to option, but to follow her to wherever she wanted to go, but Naru and Masako trusted Mai to lead them right and soon they both saw a pattern in the way she walked and looked around.

Up, then to her lef, then she looked to her right and then right forward, after a while, Naru and Masako had reached the woman and was walking beside her "Mai?" Naru asked and the woman turned to him "hm?" "do you know where the exit is?" "no.." he glared "what.. then" "I'm just following a path made by that man, in wich he walked when he probably put the bodies here, there was traces of hundred years old bodies here, so he probably put them here when he was still alive, he traps them here and only comes to see them after they're dead, I don't know why there's so much blood though.."

Suddenly they heard someone calling, Mai's name.

"Is that?" Masako began, as a voice called her name, then another one called for Naru, there was three voices, calling them closer and Masako walked faster, something along desperation was written on her face as Naru took Mai's hand and pulled her as he began to run, Masako already ahead of them, Mai felt herself move, albeit tired she still ran with them as they came closer and closer to the voices, suddenly Masako, who was still ahead stopped, as if she hit something hard and fell down "Masako!" Mai ran over to Masako, who sat up "I hit something.." she said, while covering her nose and mouth with her bloody sleeve.

Mai stood up and reached out, suddenly her hand met something hard and she blinked "how's this..." Naru came up to her side "a wall?" he asked "if that's the case, it's invisible.. I can see the other side" Mai stated and stared into nothing.

Naru took her hand "Mai.. wait" but too late.

The wings that had lowered and hung down, now rose and opened up fully, her hair turned snow white, covered mostly by blood as well as her eyes turning bright blue, there was something though, the bright shine around her seemed to fade a little, Naru looked at her and understood, she had used a lot of energy on keeping that ghost away from Naru, and even exorcising it, so he tried to stop her from using any more energy "Mai, no.. WAIT!"

Hehe... so you have to wait till Monday to know the rest.. :D

Have a great weekend and don't forget to review!
