Mai looked around the room with her sisters. Neither of them could feel anything. "Is the girl still a live?" Nina wondered.
Mai nodded her head. "She is." Mai can sense the presence of live and dead people. Even when they don't show themselves. That's why Mai always won at hide and seek. "Who knows what he's doing to her" Minko shivered with the thought.
The three sisters were scare and they didn't hide it. They couldn't hide it. And that seemed to call the ghost because he suddenly appeared right in front of Mai. No one spoke for a long while. Mai and the ghost just stared in to each others eyes.
Then the ghost whispered with an evil grin. "You'll never find her." Then he disappeared. His laugh echoed the room.
"Come on lets go back." Mai said wanting to go back to her children. She knew that they were safe with their father and Madoka.
Keiko didn't let go of her father. She was scared as hell. She can feel that she wasn't welcomed in this house. When ever her father got up to go to the other part of the base she would follow him. When Madoka Madoka asked her and her brothers if they wanted to help her make lunch in the kitchen Keiko refused she just clung to her father even tighter. GJ and Kenji refused as well. They didn't want to leave the safety of their father and godfather. And they didn't want to leave Keiko. He could sense what she could sense. They are triplets after all.
Mai, Minko and Nina returned to the base and Keiko let go of her father and latched on to her mother. Naru sighed, relieved that his wife and her sisters returned safe and sound and that Keiko let him go. She was choking him. The girl had yet to realise her own strength. Naru didn't complain when she clung to him like a leach. he knew that she was scared. She told him that she sensed that she wasn't welcomed in the house. When he told her to go home with Monk-san she refused and clung to him even tighter.
Now that her mother returned Keiko hid her face in her mother's neck. As soon as Mai sat don she explained what had happened in the attic. "When I was staring in to the spirits eyes I caught a glimpse of Lilly being tortured. I could hear her screaming in pain and crying for her parents. I had a feeling that he doesn't want to kill her just yet. He wants to make his brother suffer. I could of gotten more information but it was to much to bear. He hates little girls." Mai clutched Keiko to her chest. Naru gathered her in to his arms and kissed her the side if her head just above the ear.
The equipment was set up and nothing happened for the rest of the day. Keiko finally left the safety of her parents arms and went to play with her brothers and Macarius outside near the pond. Naru was watching them from the window, Mai was talking to her sisters, Lin was watching the monitors and keeping an eye on his son. Madoka making tea and hot chocolate in the kitchen.
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening and they didn't hear a single sound. GJ, Kenji, were asleep, curled in their mother's side. Keiko was curled up in her father's chest. Clinging to his shirt. Macarius was asleep on his father's lap. "This is getting us nowhere." Naru whispered in frustration. Mai frowned in thought. Then she remembered something. "I know someone who might help." She said.
Naru looked at her, "Go on." He said. "Her name is Masako Hara. She is a famous medium. She is my best friend. She helped me with my abilities. I'll give her a call in the morning. Besides she owes me a favour."
"Okay call her in the morning for now lets go to bed. Lin, do you mind taking the first watch?"
Lin shock his head no. "Monk-san, can you take over in three hours?" Naru turned Monk-san who nodded. "Then someone else will take over."
Mai got GJ, Kenji and Keiko in to their beds which were in the same room as their parent's bed. Naru was about to drift off when he felt a tug on his shirt. "Hmm?" He turned to see Keiko standing there with a photo frame in her hands. "Keiko what is it?" Naru asked gently as he picked up the little girl. "Daddy, remember that dream I had?" Keiko asked once she was laying in between her parents. "I remember. About the little girl getting kidnapped, go on."
"Well I just had the same dream and this time I saw the girl's face and she looks like the girl in this photo." Keiko held out the photo to him. Naru looked at the photo. It was Lilly. He turned to his daughter. "Was the man who kidnapped her dead?" Naru asked and Keiko nodded.
"Do you know where he hid her?" Naru asked. Keiko shook her head this time. "Sorry daddy." Keiko whispered. "It's quite alright, little one. You were a big help. Now get some sleep. I better tell Lin, I'll be right back Okay?
Keiko nodded and cuddled in to her mother's side. Naru smiled and went in to the base. "Lin, Keiko had another dream about the girl getting kidnapped. This time she saw the girl's face. The girl looked like Lilly. The man who kidnapped the girl in Keiko's dream is dead. We better hurry before the kidnapper does something more dangerous."
Lin nodded. "Is Keiko alright? It is not something that a little girl should see." He asked in concern. "She is asleep with Mai?" Naru replied.
"She is a strong girl. She gets that from her mother." Lin said with a smile. Lin is proud if his God daughter. "True. Well I'm going back to bed."
"Night Naru."
"Night Lin."
The night went on without a hitch. After Mai made the phone call to her friend she went back to the attic with her sisters to see if the girl was there. Nothing.
It was after lunch time when the door bell rang and then Marcus came in with a girl behind him. "Shibuya-san? That medium is here. Mai's head sprang up from her book and she raced over to the girl nearly tackling her the ground.
"Hello Mai it is good to see you to." Masako chocked out. Mai let go of her. "Thank you for coming."
"It's my pleasure, besides I think I owe you one."
"Let me introduce you to my family. This is GJ my oldest. GJ stands for Gene Junior. And this is Kenji my second eldest and that one over there is Keiko my baby girl."
"Who is the man holding her?" Masako asked. "Oh that's her god father Koujo Lin. Let me go and my sisters and we'll get to work." Mai went off to search for her sisters who were probably still asleep.
As soon as she was gone Naru had come back in to the base. He picked up Keiko and sat down on the couch with Keiko on his lap. "Hello." Masako said as she sat down.
Naru looked up from Keiko and said, "Hello. You are?" "Masako Hara, and you?"
"Kazuya Shibuya. Mai's husband and the father of her children." Naru could tell that she was flirting with him but it soon stopped when he said husband and father.
"Nice to meet you all. I'll go and find Mai." Masako said and left trying to hide her flushed face. She found Mai still trying to wake her sisters up. "Go away Mai." Minko demeaned sleepily.
"Hello Minko." Masako said with laughter in her voice. Minko and Nina sprung up as soon as they recognised the voice. "Masako!" They both shouted with glee. They leaped out of their beds and jumped to hug Masako.
"Come on Masako is here to help us find the girl." Mai said with annoyance. Minko huffed at her. "You have been married to that narcissist for to long."
"Come on." Mai ignored the comment. Minko and Nina got dressed and they all went to the attic. Masako looked around and stopped at one corner. "He's here but the girl isn't. He lost the girl." Masako said after a minute of silence.
"What do you mean lost?" Nina asked.
"She got away from him. He has searched everywhere for her but something is stopping him from seeing her."
Mai nodded. At least Lilly is away from her dead uncle. I better get the others." Mai said. But as soon as she turned towards the door Masako said, "He's gone."
Minko, Nina and Mai groaned. The four of them made it down stairs when Naru came down. He had been running and he was out of breath. "Have you seen Kenji?" He asked the girls.
Minko, Nina and Masako shook their heads. Mai bolted down the hall way to him. "What do you mean 'have you seen Kenji'?" Mai demanded.
"He went to the bathroom and never came back. Madoka thought that something might got his attention and he went to investigate. I went looking for him but and that's when I bumped in to you. GJ went with him but he was the only one who came back. He saw something but he won't tell us. He's scared as hell. He's crying for Kenji. So is Keiko."
Mai and her sisters and Masako went in to full panic mode. Mai bolted down the hall yelling for Kenji. Naru wasn't far behind her Minko, Nina and Masako weren't far behind him.
When they got to the base Mai went straight to GJ who was crying in Gene's lap. Mai bent down and rubbed his back gently. "GJ, honey, are you alright?" Mai asked in a soft voice.
GJ unwrapped himself from his uncle and clung to his mother. "He took him. The ghost took Kenji. His face looked like a zombie's face. He roared and growled. Then he disappeared with Kenji. I screamed for Kenji but Kenji didn't reply. I'm so sorry mummy." GJ chocked out. Mai hugged him tighter to her and rocked him until the sobbing was replaced by hiccups. GJ never said mummy in his life. It was either, mum, mother or ma. He must be really frightened.
Naru rubbed his back gently and kissed his head. "It is not your fault. We are just glad that the ghost didn't take you as well."
Keiko who was upset but not as much as GJ, sat next to her mother and brother. "Daddy?" Keiko looked up Naru. "Yes little one?"
"Should I try and talk to Kenji through thought." Keiko is a smart girl.
"You can try."
Keiko closed her eyes.
Kenji where are you?
Silence...
Kenji, can you hear me? It's Keiko.
More silence...
Kenji are you alright?
This time Keiko got a reply. I'm okay. Is GJ okay?
He's okay but he's crying because he was to scared to help you. Tell me where you are and mum and dad will come and get you.
I don't know where I am. I ran away from the ghost. He is really dumb. He is easy to trick.
Can you see anything?
Yes.
Okay send me images of your surroundings so mum and dad can find you.
Keiko saw images of what looked like a basement. But there are five basements.
Oh Keiko?
Yeah? There is a girl with me. She said that her name is Lilly.
Kenji you found the girl. She is the missing girl.
I found her? Yaaay!
Don't scream in my head. I got to go.
Okay hurry.
I will. I love you brother.
I love you little sis.
Keiko broke the connection and turned to her parents. "He has ran away from the ghost. He said that the ghost is dumb. He is easy to trick. He also found Lilly they are together waiting for you.
Marcus heard this and went straight over to Keiko. "Is she alright?" Keiko nodded her head. "Are
few scars and bruises."
Marcus burst in to tears. Happy tears. Keiko looked up at Naru. "Did I say something wrong?" Naru smiled back at her. "No honey, he is crying in relief." Keiko never saw a man cry before.
Marcus looked up at Naru. "Can I hug your daughter?" He asked. Naru hesitated for a minute then he realised that Marcus is a father himself so Naru nodded and Marcus gently took Keiko in his arms and hugged her. "Thank you, sweetheart. Thank you. How can I make it up to you?"
"Can we find my brother and Kenji first?" Keiko said as wrapped her tiny arms around him.
Marcus let her go and smiled at her. Then he looked at Naru. "You have a smart girl here."
Naru smiled at his daughter. "We are very proud of her our boys."
