I do not own Ghost hunt ^. ^


NORMAL P.o.V

Oliver held Mai as she slept, worried she would wake from another nightmare. He had been terrified when she passed out on her way out the door, and what made it worse was she was screaming and crying. The girl had been inconsolable until she fell back asleep. He didn't even know what she had dreamed of to make her do that. All he knew was it had to do with him, and his team mates. She had said all of their names, one by one. But it was when she got to his that his heart broke in two. She sounded scared, broken, and tormented all at the same time. He tightened his arms around her as she stirred and, began to hum to her.

"Is that the song Luella would sing?" Lin asked breaking the silence for the first time in the van since they had departed.

"Yes. I did it first when she couldn't sleep. When she was having those dreams at the hotel

. It calms her."

Lin didn't reply, which Oliver was grateful for. He didn't want to talk, he just wanted to keep Mai from crying anymore.


MONK'S P.o.V

I kept a close follow behind the van, as I listened to Ayako mumble in her sleep. I was surprised and relieved that she had allowed Mai to ride with Naru and Lin. When Mai had collapsed Naru had been the first to her, but Ayako was a close second. I had never seen so much fear in that woman's eyes, and it made my heart hurt. Then when Mai began to scream our names, she started to lose it.

"Man oh man." I said tightening my grasp on the wheel.

I tried to change my thoughts, and told myself Mai had to be okay if Ayako let her out of her sight. I mean, it took a lot of glaring between her and Naru, but of course Naru won. He wouldn't do anything that he thought to be dangerous to Mai, the boy loved her.

"I mean it's obvious." I said aloud chuckling to myself.

"What is?"

The sound of her voice surprised me, "Ha-ha, I thought you were asleep."

"Hard to, thinking about her."

I sighed. I didn't want to go back to that subject. "Do you think Naru has feelings for Mai?"

I heard her chuckle, "I don't think. I know."

"That's what I was thinking. The boy tries to act like he has no feelings. But back at the case at the hotel, I saw him constantly holding Mai after her dreams. But I don't know if that is proof enough."

"Oh, I have some proof. Something none of you would believe."

I raised my eyebrow at her and watched as she gave me a sexy smile.

Wait sexy? Did I just say Ayako was sexy? Oh god, I needed a break from cases.

"Would you believe me if I said I saw Naru kiss Mai?"

It took everything not to let my jaw drop. I turned my head and looked at Ayako, seeing the devious smile on her face.

"Explain."

"Before we left for the last case, remember how Naru sent her back in the kitchen for tea as we were leaving?"

I nodded, remembering that quite well, "Yea, and Mai called him some names and walked in there."

"Well I came back in to grab my purse and I heard them in the kitchen. I peeked in just in time to see Naru place him lips against Mai's. I took off running so they wouldn't see me though."

"And you are just now telling me?!"

A soft chuckle came from her and she turned onto her side, "I didn't see a reason to at the time. I mean we all knew it was going too happened eventually. And it looked like such a passionate kiss that completely took Mai by surprise."

"Do you think Mai was okay with it? You don't think he forced her?" I asked feeling myself getting angry at the boy.

"Don't worry she enjoyed it. Now stop talking I want to get my beauty rest."

"I don't think we have enough time in the world for that." I said bursting into a full laugh.

"You stupid fake monk!" Ayako said swinging at me, but I just laughed harder as I dodged it.

"Just sleep grandma, I'll wake you when we…. oooOOUUUCCCHH!"

I let go of the wheel and grabbed my head in pain where her fist had just smashed, "Ouch that really hurt Ayako."

"Quit whining and drive. If you fall behind and make us late Naru will have your head."

"Nah, Mai wouldn't let him." But I did as she said, and soon it was silent.(Except for Ayako's loud snoring.)


MAI'S P.o.V

I walked and walked and walked, but I was going nowhere. When I had attempted to turn around I hit a wall. The same wall I was leaning on when I had awoken here so long ago.

"Mai? Are you coming?"

That same voice is what compelled me to begin my walk. Even though I wasn't moving, the voice was getting closer to me. I opened my mouth to reply to find that I still couldn't speak. Frustrated I began to run to the voice, worried it would leave me if I took too long. I kept running and running, until my body gave way and I stopped. I attempted to sit to find that my back was still right up again the wall.

'What is happening here?' I thought to myself, giving up on moving.

"Mai-Chan?"

My breath quickened. That voice, it was the same one that had my friends killed. I started running again, and felt myself running downward. I closed my eyes as laughter surrounded me, so close almost as if it was right beside me.

"Mai-Chan I've found you."

I felt a pair of hands grab onto me and begin to pull me backwards. I started to scream, and I thrashed myself around. All I could hear was the child's laughter and I was pulled further and further back.

"Next time."

I felt myself land against something soft and warm, and a hand went over my mouth silencing the screaming.

"Mai!? It's okay Mai I'm here."

I turned around and wrapped my arms around Gene, sobbing into his chest. He rubbed his hand up and down my back, mumbling soft comforting words.

"What's happening Gene?"

"She's just a child Mai."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not her fault."

"Gene."

Suddenly Gene disappeared and I began falling. I started to scream, but was drowned out by the sound of child's laughter.


So I am hitting a road block atm. But at the same time I have a ton of ideas. Ugh oh well. Hope y'all enjoy this. R&R and have a great day!
