I do not own Ghost hunt ^.^

NORMAL P.o.V

"What the hell do you mean you don't know where she went?! She wasn't supposed to even leave her room!"

Oliver paced back in forth in the room trying his hardest to keep his temper down while everyone else was circled around a crying Kimi giving him shocked looks. The girl had come into the base five minutes ago freaking out saying that Mai was missing. After Oliver had gathered everyone in the base he had Kimi explain everything that had happened. Apparently she had convinced Mai to sneak out and Mai disappeared from Kimi's bathroom without a trace.

"I-I-I don't k-know. She w-was in there a-and t-then..." Kimi started before sobs overtook her.

Oliver threw his hands up in frustration and made his way to the door. Obviously this mess of a girl was going to be of no use to him, and if he was going to find Mai he was going to have to do it himself. He walked from the door, ignoring Lin's calls and made his way down the hallway towards Kimi's apartment. It didn't take long before soft steps fell in stride with his.

"Oliver."

Oliver ignored Lin and continued to walk until he came up on the open door. He walked in and saw a sleeping toddler on the couch, rolling his eyes at the irresponsibility this girl seemed to have.

"No wonder she lost Mai."

"I-I didn't lose her, she disappeared!"

Oliver turned around and tried to keep his voice as level as possible, "Listen to me carefully Kimi. Take your daughter or sister or whoever this small child that you have neglected, and go to the base. Stay. Out. Of. My. Way."

He didn't even give her time to answer and instead made his way to the bathroom where Mai was last seen. Everything seemed to be in a normal order, like there was no struggle at all. There wasn't even any water spilt on the floor, like she hadn't even gotten out of the bath tub. Oliver looked in the corner and saw a pile of what looked to be Mai's pjs. He hesitated for just a moment before quickly made his way over to them.

"Oliver don't even think about it."

Lin's warnings went to deaf ears as Oliver picked up Mai's shirt and quickly became engulfed in a horrible green color.

Kimi walked back to the room trying to stop the heavy sobs from escaping her mouth. She little sister moved a bit in her arms and she rocked her back and forth, hoping that she wouldn't wake up. She didn't need to see her big sister like this. As she pushed the door open everyone's sad eyes met hers, but then they all quickly looked away.

They were all hurting and it was all her fault.

She walked over to the couch and laid her sister down, covering her with the blanket that was laying across it. She took a deep breath, and quickly turned around to face the four people who she was making so miserable.

"Guys…. I'm so s-sorry. I-if it wasn't for me Mai…Mai… I'm so sorry!"

Against her will, tears started to fall from her face. She looked down so no one would pity her, and wrapped her arms around herself in attempt to hold herself together. It only took seconds before she felt warm strong arms envelop her, and then felt fingers run through her hair.

"Kimi-san it's okay. Mai will be alright, she always is. Naru is going to find her."

Kimi felt warmth spread throughout her, and suddenly felt calmer. She felt safe in Yasu's arms, and the way he had just talked made her positive that everything was okay. She snuggled into him and let a few more teas fall before feeling almost completely better. She actually began to feel guilty because she was feeling okay, but it wasn't an overwhelming feeling. They WERE going to find Mai.

"Better?" Yasu asked giving her a warm smile that made her blush.

"As much as I can be, thank you so much Yasu. I don't know how you managed that."

"You never know, maybe magic."

He gave her a small smirk that made her heart melt.

Wait…..oh no.

Was she in love?

"I…uhh… Y-Yasu.."

"Hey." Bou-san said loudly reminding Kimi that her and Yasu were NOT alone, "Maybe we should break into groups and look for Mai. Yasu, you can stay here with Kimi in case Mai somehow makes her way back to the base. Ayako, go check your room, look for any clue and then come straight back here. Me and John will go outside and check the woods area. If that's where the missing kids are found, maybe we'll find Mai there too."

Everyone nodded and the three of them left to go to their assigned areas leaving Yasu and Kimi alone in the base (Well not all the way alone, but Tanya wasn't going to wake up any time soon). Kimi sat on the couch next to her sister and rubbed on her back, not ignoring the fact that Yasu was looking at her intensely.

"Kimi-san…"

"Oh Yasu you can just call me Kimi; I really don't mind."

A small blush spread onto his cheeks and he looked down, "okay. Kimi, uhm… I'm glad to see you've calmed down. So I heard that you have dreams like Mai does, do you think you could sleep and try to find her?"

Kimi looked at her feet, "My dreams aren't the same as Mai, I can only dream about the past, never the present or the future. When you guys had arrived, I knew you all were going to be here because I had a dream of my mom's friend calling you. But the dream took place three days after the incident. I'm pretty much useless."

Yasu stood quickly and placed his hand on Kimi's face, "You are not useless don't you dare say that. What you can do is way more than me, I'm just normal."

"Kimi stood up quickly her eyes matching his, "What are you talking about? You're so smart and that's super helpful. Without you they would never learn anything and it would take forever for them to gehmph…"

His lips were warm and soft.

Ayako was searching the room. Well searching wasn't the word she would use, more so she was frantically throwing stuff around while freaking out over that fact that she felt useless and couldn't find Mai.

"How the hell does a teenager just disappear? This makes no sense! If only Naru had exorcised the stupid spirit when we first got here, then this wouldn't be happening. But no, Mai had to be Mai and try to find another way and of course Naru was going to do what makes her happy!"

Ayako smirked at her own comment, knowing that even though Naru seemed like an ass, Mai always came first with him. She continued to throw stuff around for a few more minutes before she became aggravated and decided to stomp out of the room.

"I don't know why Takigawa had me look in the room as if I would find anything out. Mai wasn't even in here when she disappeared."

Ayako continued down the hallway when an older woman stopped right in her path.

"Uhm, may I help you?"

"You're one of them ghost hunters arentcha?"

"Yes I am, why?" Ayako asked getting annoyed that this old woman stopped her.

"You had better hurry and take care of this, any day now were gonna lose another child. I don't want it to be my grandson, so you had better do what they're paying you for."

The old woman went back to walking and Ayako rolled her eyes, "Don't worry granny we'll do our jobs."

"Big talk considering you've lost one of your team members Missy."

Ayako felt her temper flare up, but when she turned around to tell the old woman off there was no one in sight.

"What the…"

Monk followed slowly behind John, trying not to lose him in the darkness but also trying to look for Mai. He cursed himself for not grabbing flashlights before coming out here, because they had barely made it into the woods before the sun was completely down. He felt goosebumps rise on his arms and realized that he had also ran out without a jacket.

Fantastic.

"Bou-san, how big do you think this forest is? She could be anywhere." John said, the cold noticeably taking effect on him because Bou-san could hear his teeth chattering from where he stood.

"She might not even be in here man. We'll go forward a little more and then turn back and talk with Naru about where he thinks we should go from here."

John nodded his head and they continued to walk forward, making sure not to turn for fear of getting lost. Bou-san began to worry that Mai wasn't going to be found but that she was out here. It was freezing and it looked like it might rain. If she wasn't found she could die out here, and that was something that no one could deal with. He had told John they would stop looking but he wouldn't.

He was going to find Mai if it killed him.

The walked a little longer when the rain actually did start to sprinkle.

"John, you need to head back, I'll keep looking for a little while."

John pretended that he couldn't hear him and continued to walk. Bou-san rolled his eyes and ran to catch up to him. They walked for about ten minutes longer as the rain got heavier, and almost turned back when they noticed sand. And lots of it.

"Sand, what is sand doing in a forest?" John asked, shielding his eyes

Bou-san followed his lead, "I don't know, but let's keep going and check it out."

They walked for a few more minutes until they came to the end of the path. Bou-san looked over it to see that it was a cliff, and it had a huge drop onto a multitude of rocks and then had a small beach that led to the ocean.

"Bou-san look there on the beach!"

Monk looked down and saw a dark clump next to the ocean and he was confused as to what John was trying to tell him. Then a sudden realization hit him,.

"Mai!"
