Epilogue.

5 years later.

"Oliver.. there's a letter from your mother!" said man turned and smiled somewhat stiff at her "my mother.. what does she want?" Mai raised an eyebrow "how should I know.. anyway, Bou picked up Gene and Yuki, they're coming over for dinner" she told him and he looked at her "oh, that monkey too?" "that monkey has a name Oliver!" Mai said and sighed.

Naru stood up and pulled his wife into a tight embrace, Mai blinked in shock "w-wha.. Oliver?" "I love you Mai" he whispered and she smiled softly "I love you too.." "five years" "hm?" Mai leaned back a little to look at his face "five years we have been married.. it's like a dream, time flies too" "well, you didn't think that year when Yuki was born was a dream, that much I was sure of" Mai stated, Naru turned slightly red, then he gave Mai a quick kiss "mm.. everything has a good side to it as well" Mai laughed "indeed"

They heard the doorbell and Mai turned around to greet whoever it was, the door opened and the two could heard two pair of feet running across the floor, then one white-haired and one black-haired bundle appear, Mai smiled at these bundles and crouched as the two flew into Mai like two planes, Naru chuckled as watched Mai pry off her oldest child "welcome home, how was your day Yuki-chan, Gene-kun?" the two looked up at her, both had blue eyes, Yuki had her mother's hair, but her father's eyes while Gene had his father's hair and his mothers eyes, Luella had stated once that they where so different it was weird they where related at all.

Little Gene was two years old and a very bright and smart child, but he was shy and often embarrassed, even if it was his parents kissing or his sister playing tricks on said parents, he looked very much like his dead uncle, but Mai hadn't told him yet that he was named after Naru's brother, thus leaving them to see how much alike they where, Gene was very gentle and kind for his age, it was unusual for such a small child to act so mature, well, more mature than his sister anyway, Mai though, had noticed that after Gene was born, the real Gene had stopped appeared, he had simply disappeared.

Naru had brushed this off with 'him getting tired of being here.. I'm here you know' and that was that, but Mai knew something no one else knew, Gene was Gene, ironic, that the child she named Gene, would be the reincarnation of the real Gene in a way, thought the child did not know himself she knew he would in the future, sometimes that worried her, but she soon let it go.

As for their daughter, well, Yuki, who was four years old, had, according to Naru, spent to much time with Bou and Ayako's daughter Yume, she was at the same age and was known for her pranks, those two had grown up in the same kindergarten, even though they spent a lot of time together outside of kindergarten as well, for some reason, Yuki always managed to earn one of Naru's more famous, and very rare glares from her pranks.

"Mommy, are uncle and aunty staying for dinner?" Yuki asked, Gene nodded fast, Mai chuckled "why yes they are.." the two squealed.

"Yo.. Mai-chan, Naru-chan, how's it going?" Bou asked as he came into the room, Ayako came after while Yume sprinted between their legs and tackled Yuki as she did, the girl just laughed her friend of, this tackling had become their kind of hello lately.

"You know Bou-san, we saw you just yesterday, still you act like we haven't seen you in years!" Mai stated and the monk chuckled "true true.. hey, did you hear the news?" Mai blinked "what news?" she asked, Naru came over and stood beside her, Ayako though, smirked like never before "Minami-san and Lin-san in going to marry soon" Mai squealed "seriously, oh my god, I have to call her at once.." then she and Ayako rushed off somewhere, probably to talk about that said wedding, Naru though, just couldn't believe his own ears, Lin, the silent, always serious, never relaxing assistant was getting married!

"Okay, I need to call him and ask what the heck is going on!" he desided, but before he could get any further, someone jumped onto his back from behind, it was his fault that Yuki was athletic and Mai even wanted her to start self defence once in the future, but that girl had been as stubborn as Mai, she wanted to become a ghost hunter, like her parents, this Mai laughed off and said that it was okay, but not yet, she was still so young.

Bou chuckled "she really is a handfull" Naru groaned "and you haven't noticed before now!" he complained, lifting the girl high in the air with one hand, said girl giggled and clung to Naru's arm, like some kind of Coala, Yume though, climber up on him like he was a tree, was it a wonder he called that girl a monkey "please get off Yume.. I.." he stopped as he saw Bou, well, more precisely the camera he had in his hands "say cheese Naru-chan" Naru glared, but just then, Yuki stuck a finger into his side and he took a sharp intake of breath as Bou waited for the right moment, then.

Naru pulled the girl off and began tickling her madly, he smirked as she let out a fit of laughter, pleading for mercy as her child-laughter now filled the whole room, Yume seemed to get off at the right moment and Naru heard a faint click and a chuckled "Bou-san, delete it at once!" he said while tickling Yuki until tears streamed down the girls face, then Naru stopped and sighed, he was now looking at Bou with a certain glare, but the other didn't move.

Just then the women came back and sensing the tension, Mai smiled "hey, guess who we having over for dinner?" the three children thought long and hard "aunt Masago and uncwe John?" Mai chuckled them too, the two girls both blinked then "uncle Lin!" Mai nodded "and Minami-san!" who knows why Mai's children called everyone for uncle and aunt, Mai and Naru knew why, but they didn't bother to tell everyone that it was because they where Mai's family now, in a weird way.

The doorbell rang and all three children ran to the door before Mai could stop them, Bou laughed as he walked after them, Mai had sworn she would never let any of her children ever get close to a demon, thus they was already learning about things like that, that was also the reason for their maturity.

Then they heard another set of feet running across the floor and soon Yume and Yuki dragged a small boy into the room, he blond, curly hair from his father and dark blue eyes from his mother, though he had a slightly tanned skin as well "Edward.. the shoes.." they heard, the boy, named Edward ignored his father's complain completely and turned to the rest "hewo aunt Mai.." he bowed nicely and Mai was soo close to hugging this angel like child, oh he was so cute.

Soon they heard the door open and close again and as Masako and John entered the room, so did Lin, with Minami in tow.

"Welcome everyone" Mai said, smiling brightly, Minami went into girl-hugging-mode as the men called it and she hugged both Ayako, Masako and Mai with delight, the other women chimed in and they began talking them between, Bou inched closer to Lin "so I heard the news.. when did you propose?" he said in a low voice, well, it wasn't really needed at the women was talking rather loudly, Lin jerked his head towards him and stared, slightly red, then he smirked, it was similar to Naru's, just softer "a week ago.." Bou chuckled "ho.. good job"

Well, it turned out to be a very interesting dinner, Mai and Naru lived in a rather large house, so space wasn't complained about, it was just that getting four children, two of them barely two years old, was very very hard.

It soon came to an end, well, after two hours by the table and one in the living room, they soon left, family by family, then there was only Mai, Naru and their children left behind, thus Mai ushered the kids to bed and after half and hour with trying that, she managed to get them so sleep and she could, albeit tiredly slump into the couch, beside Naru, who wrapped his arm around her "tired?" "hn.." she groaned and leaned against him "but happy!" she stated and he smiled "who wouldn't" he kissed her and they stared at nothing really, until their home phone rang, weird really, it wasn't late, but there wasn't many who called.

"Yes?" Mai asked, then her face showed shock "what.. seriously, wait.. your at the office now, but I thought.. oh.. okay, I'll tell him, then tomorrow.. okay" then she hung up, Naru stared at her "what.. who was that?" "Lin-san.. there's a case for us.." Naru frowned "why was Lin even at the office?" "he forgot his laptop there and went to get it, a client barely caught him before he locked up again" "oh.." he just said, as if it didn't really matter "did he say what the case was about?" Mai nodded "a murderer that haunt the house of an old couple, but only murders teenagers" Naru nodded "interesting indeed!" he smirked and embraced her "let's head over tomorrow and ask" "what about Gene-kun and Yuki-chan?" Naru blinked "let them stay over and Brown-san's house!" Mai chuckled "I'll hear what they have to say, but that'll be tomorrow, because the case wont start before we leave for it, and by then, several days could've flown by.." Naru nodded and kissed her "tomorrow.." he whispered as if there was something underneath, but Mai knew there wasn't.

"Let's go to bed!" "yes yes.." Mai chuckled and was pulled towards the bedroom, she glanced into the window and thought for a moment that she saw her parents and Gene, oh well, she knew they where watching over her, they always would.

"Thank you.." she thought, directing it to Gene, but she knew she wouldn't get an answer anymore, he had left after all, but it didn't feel bad, it felt good that he was finally at peace.

The End.

FINALLY.. I'm finished..

Okay, first of, I have to thank you all for staying with me until the end, I will, probably in the future write another Ghost Hunt story, but I don't have time right now.. well, all's well that ends well! :D
