File 13.
Till Death do us Part.
"Y-you have NO idea!" Bou nearly shouted and Ayako hit him hard "shut up, we're in a church, so don't raise you voice.
"No, I have no idea, yet" he laid Mai down on one of the benches and looked down at the floors, he could see where there was an opening in the floor and mumbled to himself, Lin lifted up and turned away from Naru "I'll take her back to the base.." Naru nodded and the Chinese man left him alone.
"Then.. we'll go to.." John said and he and Masako had to dragged a little pissed Bou away "6th to 8th of 9th floor.. there's.." he counted "seventeen floors.. there's 2 to 3 partings on each line.." he mumbled and blinked "excuse me" he called the priest, who turned and nodded up at him "is there any space under the 6th to the 8th plank of the floors!" the priest stared up at him, then he shook his head "not that I know of, wait and I'll see to the blueprints.."
Naru walked down and waited till the priest came back "yes... there is a space under some of the floors, but there's no opening, no trace of there ever being a space at all in fact.." Naru chuckled "that's because no one wanted us to know there was one.. probably the people who built this place!"
The priest nodded, then Naru walked around, then he stopped and kicked his feet to the floor, he almost waited for a ghost to appear, but the only thing that happened was a silent knock, or it sounded like that, but Naru suspected that there was a lot of layers in between so sounds wouldn't get out "could you call upon my assistant.." the priest nodded and rushed off.
Soon the men arrived, Bou and John came too, suddenly the main doors to the church opened as well and the family of the bride came in "if you can't find her, then why bother being here!" the man called he was obviously the brides father, the groom looked a little red and almost, bothered by the presence of his parents-in-law.
"Excuse me?" Naru asked, sounding more offended than curious, the father moved closer, still seventeen feet away from them "if you can't find her, then it's obviously that you can't do a good job" the man spat at the SPR team and Bou looked ready to hit the man, but Naru walked by him, making the rest stare at him only "Naru?" Lin asked, but was ignored "if you haven't noticed, we where just about to get your daughter!" Naru spat back, the man glared "how are you, what an ungrateful" "you are not my client, so please refrain from using a bad language and look down at us till we're finished!" with that said, Naru turned away from a shocked groom and the bride's parents, then he stared down at the floor "she's there!" he pointed at two planks that was cut at exactly the same place, there was no sign of an opening or door handle, but there was a small crack in between the two planks.
Naru bent down as people gathered around him, expecting him to see the bride pop up from the floor after he pushed a hidden button, but he didn't he crouched and stuck his finger into the crack, there was a long, cracking noise heard around the church and in the next second, a small door appeared to their left, on the wall, the priest gawked at this and could fathom why a door would be there.
"You have to go in" a voice stated and everyone spun around to see Mai, she was looking very tired and Ayako was looking very worried.
"Mai.. you should go and re" he didn't manage to finish as the doors to the church opened again and a man strode in, once everyone saw him, Mai flinched and backed off, clenching her fists into Ayako's jumper "Mai?" she asked, but the woman just stared at the man "he.. O-Naru.. that's the one.. who.. hurt.." Naru couldn't hear everything, the man or neither of the other people could understand what Mai said and since most people had their eyes on the man, no one noted that Mai slipped up and grabbed Naru's hand, then she whispered something into his ear.
No one had probably seen Naru's face turn so fast from normal ignorance to shock and then to anger "is that true Mai?" she nodded, the man walked over and then he hoisted groom up by his collar "so where's Rena huh, wasn't you supposed to protect her.. useless!" he hit the groom, who flew into one of the benches and the priest, with John's aid, quickly rushed to him, the parent's of the bride stared at the man in shock "Daiku?" the mother called, but the man ignored him, so did Naru "you have no right to say such thing to him .. Daiku, that's your name?" Naru stated and the man, Daiku glared "yes, Yushou Daiku, and what do you mean by that!" he walked closer to Naru, probably wanting to scare him off, but anyone who hadn't met Naru before, knew that not even a zombie could scare him, only Mai seemed to have scared him enough before "Mai..?" Naru had looked at Mai as she walked over to Daiku, then the sound of palm against cheek filled the large hall, the man stared at Mai in shock, the woman glared up at him, tears in her eyes "you bastard, you stop talking like that, you shouldn't even be let in here!" she screamed and Naru had to grab her hands and force her off of the guy before she did something she'd regret "what's this crazy woman talking about?" Daiku asked and received Naru's glare "don't you call my fiancé that!" he snapped, everyone that didn't know the two personally stared in shock, the priest as well, suddenly they heard someone gasp out loud "Shigeru!" it was Rena, the bride, she was very beautiful, if her hair wasn't a mess and her dress dirty and also a mess, she ran over to her soon to be husband, seemingly unconscious.
"Rena, get over her right now!" Daiku yelled and Rena turned to look at him, then her face twisted into fear, pain and tornment "no.. please, go away.. don't let him, dad, mom, don't let him take me.. no" she pleaded, her parents stared at her in shock, Naru turned to Daiku again "you should pray to God, not that he'd listen but.. you probably should, when the police come to get you!" thus everyone except turned to look at Naru in pure shock "w-what?" Daiku asked, the bride, Rena also stared in shock "what.. how do you.." "that would be my fault.." Mai stated "I'm psychic.. so.. when you where missing, I saw your memories.. of him.." she looked like she was in pain, Rena nodded slowly, then realisation hit her and she broke down in tears.
"What's going on, Daiku, explain right now!" Rena's father yelled, grabbing the man by his collar and lifting him up, the priest begged them to stop this, but no one acted to get him off "nothing.. really.." Naru smirked "if you count, brushing over her like that as nothing, I guess you really are evil.. like the ghost!" Lin handed Naru something as every place in the church began to creak and make rapping sounds, the light in the church disappeared at once and left them in almost complete darkness, except from the afternoon sky outside "w-what's going on" the father let go of Daiku and said man turn to run, but Lin acted before him and soon he slumped against him, unconscious, Naru didn't really notice because he, like most of the people where staring at whatever was appearing in the middle of the hall, it was grey at first, then slightly blue before it formed a hidious form, of someone who was once a man Masako and Mai gasped "Oliver.. that is the man, who lost his wife" she whispered and he nodded, knowing she saw it.
"Yes, that's why he is still here.. Brown-san, and you too, please close the church door" he said to John and the priest, who rushed over to the close the door, then they lifted Daiku, Shiguru away and helped the unknowing people off to a safe place, Ayako was pushed away as well, seeing that she was pregnant and everything, Mai didn't want to at first, but soon she was forced to go as well, then she noticed what was in Naru's hand "a hitogata?" then Naru was left alone, with John, Bou and Lin to make sure he wasn't hurt.
The spirit hissed at them and tried to turn to the defenceless people "Rin, Pyou, Tou, Shah, Kai, Chin, Retsu, Zai, Zhen!" it was Mai and Ayako at once, she was standing in front of the rest and both Naru and Bou snapped "get away both of you!" they yelled and Mai snapped "well, sorry for being useful!" she shouted back, this got nowhere so Ayako and Mai was, by Bou, dragged back to a safer distance, while Naru caught the spirits attention again "here.." he yelled and threw the hitogata up in the air, it fell towards the ghost and soon it was enveloped by a warm and golden aura.
A woman appeared out of this golden cloud and soon the man blinked, reaching out to catch her, as he did, his own aura changed and turned golden as well, his white clothes went well with her white long dress, then the thick air began to dissolve and soon the two where gone, leaving a very fresh and warm air behind "finally.. it's over!" Mai whispered and ran over to Naru, hugging him as she hit him "Mai.." he let out a short gasp and then he kissed her forehead, making her go red "you didn't even have to go home.." "well, we managed to save her before it was to late.. Rena-san I mean" Naru nodded "you did well" she smiled "thank you"
Five days later.
Mai and Naru smiled at each other, the pair walked by them up to the altar, white dresses and pale blue flowers or decorations, the rest of the SPR team, including Minami was there, John and Masako sat beside each other, not daring to look at each other in case the priest might notice.
Then the ceremony started and the priest's talking became a soft hum in the background for Mai, she looked at Naru and noticed he was looking at her as well "Mai.." he whispered into her ear, to low for anyone except Mai to hear "yes?" she whispered back "marry me?" she turned beet red, but nodded "sure" "then.. you may kiss the bride!" the priest finished and Mai looked back at the wedding just in time to see Shigeru kiss Rena, Mai blushed as she imagined herself and Naru up there "I'd really like that.." she thought "you would?" Naru asked and Mai jerked her head to look at him "darn.. keep out of my head!" "can't.. you know that!" she blushed and he chuckled mentally.
"Oliver.. I was wondering, why didn't we find Rena-san up in the church instead of under the floor?" Mai asked, Naru looked at her "don't know.. I never seen a ghost act like that.. I guess.. he fooled around with us!" Mai gawked "what.. seriously!" Naru chuckled "yeah, somewhere I suspect that ghost is laughing good!" the two newlywed walked passed them and Rena flashed a smile, a thank you and Mai smiled back, nodding.
