I Dont Own Ghost Hunt

Mai looked around and she smiled "Hey Gene" she said, he smiled at her. She had found out about Gene on one of the cases, she wasn't as stupid as she portrayed. It was obvious Gene couldn't be Naru since Naru was in the real world so she decided that he was whether just some other spirit posing as Naru or a ghost that looked exactly like him.

It was the second one. She asked him about it and he answered all her questions, Naru was apparently Oliver Davis and this guy was his dead twin brother. She didn't tell anyone since Gene asked her not to and they got closer in a way when she found out about him, he started to talk more and was more open to physical contact even if it wasn't exactly physical.

"Hello Mai, I'm sorry about my brother" he said and she giggled "Why do you say that whenever we see each other?" she said and he grinned

"He always finds some way to be a jerk to you when we do, that's why. I'm sorry he snapped at you, it was me he was mad at" he said and she smirked "What did you do this time?" she also knew about Gene's 'visits'

"Nothing, just annoyed him a lot" he lied, he wanted Mai to be surprised when Naru confessed, well if he ever will confess. He started to have doubts the idiot scientist would figure out he loved her. He was as dense as a rock. "What will you show me today?" she asked and he shook his head "I guide you, Mai" he said and she rolled her eyes

"Yeah, yeah, guide. What will you guide me to today?" she asked and he grinned. The scene started to change to the mansion, it was older and not as modern. Mai thought it was in the 1700 since that's when Keiichi and Kazuki said it was built. She looked around and saw a little girl playing with her dolls, she was about 8 years old and had caramel coloured hair and emerald green eyes, she recognized her as the little girl from her vision but she looked younger…happier here

"Mizuki greet your daddy" a young woman appeared, she looked like a much older version of Mizuki. It's her mother, Mai thought. Mizuki smiled brightly and ran to the door, her father was waiting there. She hugged him and Takaya spun her around

"Hello, my little girl. How were you today? Did you learn anything new?" he said and she grinned "Yeah! Mommy taught me how to write my name! See!" she said pulling on him. He chuckled and followed her to the living room, she held up a paper that had her name written all over it in different colours. Her father smiled "That's amazing Mizuki! You're so smart" he said and she smiled brightly

He kissed his wife's cheek "Hello, dear" he said and she smiled

"Hello Takaya, welcome home. Are you hungry?" she asked and he nodded "Yes! A carpenters job is exhausting haven't I told you?" he said and she rolled her eyes "Yes, Takaya, millions of times" she said and he smiled

He picked Mizuki up in his arms and carried her to the kitchen. His wife took out a platter of rice cakes and handed it to the both of them, Takaya smiled "Thank you Sakura, it's delicious" he said taking a bite

"Yes! Mommy's the best cook ever!" Mizuki said and Sakura smiled warmly. The scene changed and Mizuki and Sakura were dressed in black and were at a garden, Takaya's grave was in front of them. Mizuki was crying "Mommy, where's daddy? Why hasn't he come back yet? I miss him" she asked and Sakura broke down crying. She held on to Mizuki and rocked her back and forth "Daddy's gone, Mizuki. He's not coming back" she said gently and Mizuki shook her head

"No! You're lying mommy!" she said and Sakura just cried harder "Daddy! Daddy, come home already! You're making mommy cry! Come back" Mizuki said, shouting to the sky. Sakura hugged her "Shhh, Mizuki. It's okay, daddy's in a better place and you still have me. It's okay…" she said and Mai had tears in her eyes, she remembered her mother. Images of her flashed in her mind and she broke down crying, she didn't understand at the time what death was and just kept asking when daddy would come home. Her mother would always just hug her and just start crying, she couldn't even comfort her mother, not even grieve for her dad. She just kept waiting and waiting until she forgot about him.

Gene picked her up and rubbed her back soothingly "It's okay, Mai. I'm sorry you had to see that" he said and she nodded. She wiped the tears from her face and took a deep breath. She should stop being a cry baby. Her parents died years ago, she shouldn't be as affected anymore.

But she was. No matter how hard she tried the pain wouldn't leave her, she felt so alone in the world. She shook her head, no she wasn't alone. She had Takumi, the twins, Ko, SPR and even Naru, they were her family now. She smiled at the thought and looked up at Gene, she smiled at him and he rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.

She nodded her head and looked back at the scene; it was just Mizuki this time. She was alone in the living room playing with her dolls and you could hear screaming from the door. "Get out! This is my home! You can't take it from me!" Sakura's voice filled the house. Mai walked to her and saw that she was talking to a few police.

She looked angry, who wouldn't, they were trying to take away her home "Get out" she hissed and the police shook their head "No can do miss" they said and she glared at them "You can't take this house away from me, it is to my right" she said and slammed the door on their faces.

Mizuki appeared beside her "Mommy, why do those bad men always try to get the house daddy made?" she asked and Sakura smiled, it was obviously forced "They are just greedy people and don't know what property is. But don't worry Mizuki. They won't be able to get this house. Not until the day I die"

The scene disappeared and Mai turned to Gene "That's all for today, Mai. I don't want to dump it all on you" he said and she smiled "Thanks, Gene" she said and he smiled "Bye, Mai. Take care, don't get hurt that much. I heard Takumi and those twins had to heal you a few times" he said and she glared "Hey! It was the ghosts' fault" she said and he nodded

"Yeah, yeah. Take care now!" he said and kissed her forehead, they were close. "Bye Gene!" she said and he smiled

"Bye Mai, see you next time"

Mai opened her eyes and was greeted by Kazuki's chest. She sat up and sweat dropped, it was only her and Kazuki on the bed, the other two were sprawled on the floor. She giggled at their faces, Takumi was facing to the side and droll falling from the corner of his mouth and half of Keiichi's body was still on the bed and the other was on the floor. His mouth was wide open, his face stretched back, and he was drooling as well.

Mai giggled and Kazuki sat up, he woke up when he felt Mai move. He turned to face her and noticed her tear stains, he hugged her on instinct. "Mai, are you okay?" he asked and she nodded "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" she asked and he pulled away and wiped away her left over tears. "You were crying" he stated and she smiled sadly

"Yeah, vision. I kind of remembered mom so I got all emotional again" she said and he wrapped his arms around her, tucking her under his chin "You know there's nothing wrong with being emotional" he said and she nodded "Yeah, I know but I shouldn't be as affected as before" she said and he shook his head "You can be as affected as you can be, it's your mom we're talking about not just some friend. She was an extremely huge part in your life" he said and she smiled

"I know" she said and he nodded "What did you see?" he asked and she frowned

"I saw Mizuki's past but not all" she said and he nodded

"Why did it make you cry?" he asked and she swallowed "It showed when her dad died, I don't even remember mine! I mean who forgets about their dad? I must be the worst daughter ever" she buried her head on his chest, he shushed her "Don't say that Mai, you were an amazing daughter to Yoshi. He would be proud if he was still around. You've grown up so beautifully" he said and Mai smiled slightly "Thanks, Kazuki" she said

"He's right, Mai. Yoshi would have been so proud of you, you've grown up to be such a beautiful, strong woman" Takumi said, sitting down on the bed, Mai smiled and Keiichi followed. He kissed Mai's cheek "Yeah, baby girl. Stop thinking like that, you're so strong willed and we're all proud of you" he said and Mai smiled at him

"Thanks Keiichi" she said and he grinned. Mai stood up and yawned "What time is it?" she asked and Kazuki checked his phone, he frowned "It's 7am" he said and Mai groaned, why did Gene have to make her wake so early? Kazuki stood up "Might as well do something" he said and Mai sighed and followed him

"I'll just take a shower, guys" she said and Keiichi grinned "Do you need any help?" he said and Kazuki smacked his head "Let's go, pervert" he said and Mai giggled. Takumi walked out while Kazuki was bringing Keiichi out by his ear "No! Mai!" he said and Mai shook her head, laughing. She took a shower and opened her closet.

Getting things by random, she took out a knee length grey skirt and a simple white tank. She fixed her bed that was messed up by Keiichi and Takumi. Smiling, she picked up the sheets and pillows that fell to the floor when the two fell. She walked out the door and knocked on Takumi's door before entering, something she picked up from working for Naru.

Takumi and Keiichi were dressing up and Kazuki just came out from the shower, the steam followed him to the room and Mai had to wave her hand through the air. Keiichi kissed her cheek "Looking good, baby girl" he said (A/N: I just had to do that)

Mai smiled at him "Thanks, Keiichi" she said and he grinned. Takumi kissed her lips as a good morning and Kazuki hit his head "Oww" he moaned and Kazuki smirked

"You deserved that, pervert" he said and Mai grinned. "I'll just leave so you can change" she said and Kazuki shook his head "No, stay. I don't mind" He wasn't shy with Mai. Not at all. Keiichi grinned "Who's the pervert now?" he said and Kazuki just glared at him. He took off his towel so he was just wearing boxers, much to Mai's relief. She was no pervert either.

He rustled around Takumi's huge closet. Being a celebrity he had to dress nice and he never wore the same thing, when the public are there to see anyway. Unlike other celebrities, these three were very down to earth and Mai appreciated that, they've been friends even way before they could even understand what celebrity meant. Their parents were best friends so when Takumi's parents 'left', Ko decided to become his guardian since he already treated the boy as a son

Kaiichi and Kazuki were also adopted by Ko. He knew about their unearthly powers, he also knew the origin of them. These three 'humans' were special, very special and Mai knew that but accepted them anyway. All the other kids in the playground avoided them, intimidated but Mai, she was different. She welcomed the three with open arms, which they were greatly appreciative of. They loved Mai with all their being.

Kazuki changed into a pair of low rise jeans and a blue graphic tee. He had to look good after all. Mai went over and dried his hair with the towel. He smiled at her. The roots of his hair were dark brown while Keiichi's weren't. The one thing you could tell them apart with. Keiichi pouted "You spoil him, Mai" he said and Mai rolled her eyes

"If she were to spoil anyone it would be you, Keiichi" Kazuki said and Keiichi glared at him playfully

"Meanie~" he said

"Childish" he countered and Keiichi danced around "I am not, I'm just enjoying my youth" he said and Takumi rolled his eyes. No matter how old they got those two would never change. Mai finished drying his hair and he smiled at her "Thank you, Mai" he said and she grinned "No problem, Kazuki. Your hair is so soft, I really like it" she said and he smiled "Thank you" he said and she smiled.

She set aside the towel and looked around. Takumi's room was still surprisingly clean and in shape. His walls were cream and his bed was wooden and his sheets were blue. His closet was at the right of the room and filled up the whole wall, he had a side table right beside his bed that had a lamp on it and a picture of him and Mai.

His table was on the other side of his bed. It was light brown and had blue accents on it, just like his closet and he had a bookshelf by the side. He had a TV connected to the wall in front of him with DVD's below it, mostly gory and action packed ones, he wasn't into those sappy, love stories.

He had a dark blue couch at the side of the room, with a coffee table in front of it. The bathroom door was at the left of the entrance door, his room was bigger than Mai's, but that was to be expected. He had a full body mirror attached on the wall and he fixed himself before turning to Mai, she was smiling, like always, one thing they really admired about her, she always smiled.

"Are you guys hungry?" she asked and Keiichi nodded "Yeah, I'm starving" he said and Mai nodded and turned to the two. "Are you hungry?" she asked them and they nodded. She smiled and walked out. They followed her.

She went by the kitchen and started to prepare breakfast. She took the rice cooking pot and brought it to the rice sack so she wouldn't have to carry it all the way, she bent down and took a few cups and washed the rice. She finished preparing it and left it to the rice cooker to cook. She turned to the boys

"What do you want for breakfast?" she asked and Keiichi grinned

"I'll have scrambled eggs please" he said and Kazuki hit his arm "What?" he cried and Kazuki glared at him and smiled at Mai "We'll cook breakfast, Mai. Don't trouble yourself" he said and she shook her head "No, it's alright Kazuki" she said and he shook his head

"We'll do it Mai" he said and she sighed and nodded, she knew how persistent he could be. He grinned and started to prepare breakfast. Unlike Keiichi he was actually good at cooking. Takumi followed him and reluctantly, Keiichi did too. Mai sat back as they prepared breakfast, smiling. She could smell the food from her seat and she grinned and checked out their food.

Takumi was frying eggs while Kazuki was cooking vegetables; Keiichi was left with the easiest job: frying the sausages. Mai grinned and kissed his cheek "Looks good, Keiichi" she said and he brightened up "Really?" he said and she smiled. Takumi and Kazuki rolled their eyes.

They finished cooking and Mai smiled at them "It looks really good, guys" she said and they smiled. "Should I call the others?" she said and they shook their heads "No, they're here" Takumi said pointing to the door, the team was there. "Hey, Mai, I smelled food so I came down, is there breakfast?" Monk said and Takumi grinned

"Yes! We cooked, come on, eat" he said and Monk smiled and stepped forward. Mai smiled at him "Sit, guys. There's room for everyone. Is Naru still at base?" she asked and Ayako nodded "Yeah, he's with his beloved monitors" she said and Mai giggled.

Mai set the table while the boys put the food on it. The team drooled at the sight, it looked delicious. Mai smiled and Takumi pulled her a chair, she sat and he pushed it in and sat on the seat beside her. Keiichi and Kazuki sat in front of Mai and the others sat on their own places. Mai grinned as she tasted the vegetables. Kazuki's cooking was still as good as ever.

Kazuki watched her and she smiled at him "It's good, Kazuki. Really good" she said and he smiled. Takumi pouted "How about the eggs?" he asked and Mai giggled "It's good too, Taku" she said and he smiled. They ate their breakfast and Mai was cleaning up, she made the rest of the team go back to base and they did.

Mai turned on the faucet and Kazuki stopped her "We'll do that, Mai" he said and Mai shook her head "No, Kazuki. You guys cooked" she said and he sighed and let her take over. Takumi helped her bring the plates to the sink and Kazuki and Keiichi cleaned the table. Mai finished cleaning up and smiled at them

"Thanks guys, breakfast was great" she said and they smiled, happy that she liked it. They walked back to base and Naru looked up at them "Mai, did you get any visions?" he asked and she nodded. He nodded and took out his notebook, he looked at her expectantly

"The first one I saw was when Takaya was still around…" she explained her dream.

Once she finished Naru nodded and went back to the monitors. Mai sighed and sat down on one of the chairs, the three boys sat on the couch. They were an amazing sight, Ayako still couldn't get over it

"What time is it?" Mai asked and Takumi checked his watch "It's 11" he said and Mai nodded

"Keiichi can I borrow your phone?" she said and he nodded and took out his phone, it was those expensive touch screen kinds. "Why do you need it Mai?" he asked and Mai glanced at Takumi "Just need to call Ko" she said and he nodded, he handed her his phone and Mai dialled Ko's number.

She waited for him to answer and smiled as she heard Ko's familiar deep voice "Keiichi?" he said and Mai grinned

"No, it's Mai" she said

"What can I do for you, Mai?" he asked and she looked at Takumi "Does Takumi have anything planned for today? He could get forgetful sometimes" she said and heard rustling of papers. "Yes, he has an interview and a photo-shoot today" he said and Mai nodded

"What time?" she asked

"At 1 and the interview is at 4" he said and Mai nodded and took a piece of paper "Where is it?" she asked

"The driver would know" he said and Mai nodded "Bring one in, is there anything else he has to do?" she asked and he stayed silent for a while "Nope, nothing" he said and she nodded and looked at the twins, who were grinning, they'll get Mai all to their selves

"How about the two? Do they have anything?" she asked

"No, nothing" he said and Mai nodded

"Ok, bye Ko. Thanks" she said

"Bye, Mai" he said and she put down the phone. She turned to Takumi "Taku, take a bath and change, you have a photo-shoot at 1" she said and he pouted "Aww, but why?" he said and she rolled her eyes

"Just because. Now take a bath and change. Wear something nice, you'll have an interview at 4" she said and he stood up slowly, cursing at Ko for not clearing his schedule, he wanted to be with Mai all day. Mai pushed him to the door "Come on, Taku. The car is going to be here any minute, better hurry" she said and he nodded

"Yeah, I'm going, I'm going" he said and Mai shut her door. The twins grinned at her "So, we have you for ourselves today?" Keiichi asked and she nodded "Yeah, he'll be back at around 7" she said and they grinned. She sat down on the couch and looked at Ayako, who was staring at her "Is that what you do?" she asked and Mai nodded

"Yeah, Taku forgets about stuff so I have to remind him sometimes" she said and Ayako nodded.

Takumi came back, his hair was all waxed and up and his face was flawless, he was rid of his morning look. He was wearing a pair of dark men's skinny jeans and a white graphic tee under a black jacket and all black high tops. Mai scanned his outfit and bent down, the group watched her curiously.

She pulled his jeans down so it rested blow his hips and Ayako gaped at her. She stood back up and undid the collar of the jacket at rolled the sleeves up, she put his hair down a little and stepped back "That's better" she said and he smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist "Oh, what will I do without you?" he said and leaned down until his lips barely reached hers

The twins took him by both his arms and carried him out, preventing him from doing anything further. Mai giggled and sat back down on the couch "Bye Mai!" Takumi shouted from downstairs, Mai giggled while everyone stared at her "Does that happen a lot, Mai?" Ayako asked and Mai nodded "Yup, they don't like Taku doing those kinds of things. They're still not used to it. They've been like that since we were kids" she said laughing to herself with the memory

"Kids? You were also childhood friends with them?" Monk said and Mai nodded "Yeah, Ko and umm Taku's parents were friends with my parents so we got together a lot" she said "So, when Taku's parents…left, Ko took his under his guardianship. He did the same with me when my mom died, he's really nice" she said and they nodded

The twins came back in and Keiichi grinned at Mai "Yes! We have you all to ourselves now! That pervert's gone" he said and Mai giggled "He'll be back anyway" she said and Kazuki smiled "He won't be back for a long time" he said and Mai nodded

"Has anything happened, Naru?" she asked and he shook his head

"No, it isn't coming out. I suspect the only time she does come out is to hurt someone" he said and Kazuki growled, why won't the damn coward come out so he could beat the hell out of her? He was very protective of Mai. He was also very aggressive when it came to her well-being.

"How can we lure her out?" Mai asked and he turned to Masako "Can you try to contact her?" he asked and she nodded

"I'll try but I'm not sure if she'll answer to me, she doesn't open up that much" she said and he nodded. Lin closed the lights and Masako started to call out to the ghost "Mizuki, please show yourself. We do not mean you any harm. We just want to help" she said, her voice compassionate. Mai actually admired her because of that. She actually seemed to care for the ghosts.

The temperature of the room dropped and Mai felt weird, like she was standing in the room but wasn't in the same time, she couldn't explain it. She blacked out. Mai collapsed and Keiichi caught her, and scanned her form, slightly panicked. He set down Mai on the couch and she snapped her eyes open. Her eyes wasn't the usual hazel eyes they all knew, it was an emerald green colour. It wasn't Mai at all.

She sat up and Keiichi steadied her, she might not be Mai but it was still her body. He wouldn't let any harm come to it. She smiled warmly at the team, which confused them, wasn't she supposed to be some mad blood-thirsty ghost?

She giggled as if knowing what they were thinking "Hello" Mai said but her voice was different, it was deeper and more mature.

Naru stepped up "Who are you?" he asked coldly, she smiled at him. It might have been Mai's face but her smile wasn't even close to hers'. She stood up and walked over to Naru "I'm Sakura, Mizuki's mom" she said and he nodded

"Why are you here?" he asked and she saddened

"I'm still waiting for Mizuki to cross over but she won't. She won't even let me go near her, she can't hear me. Please help her, she's killed so many people and I wasn't even able to stop it" she said, tears pouring down her face. Naru had to hold himself from reaching out to her, this wasn't Mai, even if it was her body it wasn't her, he thought and stayed his ground.

"What do you know?" he asked and she moved around the room

"She hates you people the most since you changed the house, renovated it. She doesn't like anybody being in here since her father made it, she's such a fragile child" she said and Naru nodded

"How can we stop her?" Monk asked and she smiled sadly

"I don't know, she's been mad for so long she doesn't even remember why she's doing this. She has killed so many people I just want her to pass on" she said and her eyes widened

"She's here, please be careful and please tell the girl that I'm sorry, I wasn't able to stop her" she said and Mai collapsed. Kazuki caught her, after a moment Mai's eyes snapped open and glared at him. "Don't touch me, freak" she growled, pushing him away. He widened his eyes and his heart ached, Mai just said that?

Mai laughed at his expression and he noticed her eyes, they were crimson red. This wasn't Mai, that relieved him. It was Mizuki. She traced Mai's skin with her finger and started to scratch it with her nails, leaving red marks along her arm. "Such pretty skin" she said digging her nails in, a little blood flowed out and Kazuki growled.

"Get out of her" he hissed and she chuckled

"Why not? She invaded my property can't I invade on hers?" she said and Keiichi growled

"Get out of her. Now" he said dangerously and she just laughed and continued to dig her nails on Mai's skin, scarring her. Naru stepped up "Why are you here?" he asked and she giggled "Just making her suffer, this hurts you know?" she said digging her nails deeper into Mai's skin, blood dripped out, spilling to the floor.

Mizuki didn't notice Mai's necklace glowing in green, Kazuki smirked at her. This ghost was too cocky. She screamed, it was inhuman and deafening. The team covered their ears and Mai collapsed "You'll pay for that!" Mizuki screamed before disappearing. The temperature went back to normal and Keiichi carried Mai to the couch, frowning at her scratches.

Ayako came over and started to disinfect Mai's wounds. Mai didn't even flinch, she was still passed out. Ayako finished and bandaged them, they were just flesh wounds and weren't serious. Kazuki picked Mai up and laid her on his lap, cradling her like a baby. He was planning how he'll make that ghost suffer in his mind. It went too far, Mai could have gotten seriously hurt if she didn't leave her body right away.

Keiichi sat beside him and wrapped his arms around her waist, he was worried. He put his hand over Mai's arm and healed her wounds, the bandages were kept in place so the team didn't see. Mai was now passed out for a few hours and Kazuki was worried, shouldn't she be awake by now? He looked down on Mai's face and her breathing was even and she looked angelic. She was just asleep.

Mai groaned and stretched her arms, she couldn't remember anything. She blacked out she Masako started to chant, she didn't remember what happened. Her hand hit Kazuki's face and she blushed "Sorry" she said and he smiled, she noticed she was on his lap and looked around, everyone was staring at her. Keiichi was still beside her and she blushed at the attention

"What happened?" she asked and Kazuki growled

"You got possessed" he said and she nodded. She shouldn't be surprised, she was the weakest of the group after all

"Twice" Keiichi said and she widened her eyes, twice? Who would have been the second one? Kazuki sighed, as if reading her mind "It was Sakura, Mizuki's mother. She won't pass on until Mizuki does" he said and she nodded "What happened?" she asked and Keiichi pointed down to her arms, she widened her eyes. There were bandages all over her

"What happened to me?" she said and Keiichi growled "Mizuki started to scratch your skin when she possessed you, she said something about if you can invade her property why can't she invade yours." He said and Mai noticed there was no pain, it should sting just a little. "Why don't my wounds hurt?" she asked and Keiichi smiled at her.

She nodded her head and smiled at him "Thanks" she said and he nodded. Mai stood up and stretched. Kazuki brought her back down to his lap "Stay still, Mai. Don't go anywhere" he said and out her securely on his lap. Mai rolled her eyes and sat back, Ayako watched them longingly. Keiichi glared at him, jealous.

Naru walked over to them and showed Mai a picture "Is this Mizuki?" he asked and she examined the picture. It was a little girl nailed to a door, she was wearing a bloodied dress and he eyes were wide open, as if she was staring right at you. It grossed her out, it made her want to puke. She nodded and he set it aside, she buried her face on Kazuki's neck, trying to rid the picture from her head.

Kazuki ran his hand through her hair, soothing her. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist like a monkey and let sleep over take her.

Mai looked around and she was in those old style hospitals, there were no fancy equipment and everything was made out of wood. She looked around for Gene and couldn't find him. She found she was sitting on one of the beds with Mizuki's mom beside her, she was pale and was breathing deeply. Mai guessed she was dying.

She moved her hand and put it on top of Mai's, only then did she notice that she wasn't in her body but Mizuki's. She was wearing an old sun dress that was dirty and ripped up and she was covered in tear stains. She looked at Sakura and cried harder "Mommy! Don't leave!" Mai said, her voice being one of a child's'. It was filled with pure agony and sadness, Mai felt sorry for her.

Sakura gripped on Mizuki's hand as tight as she could and asked her to bend down. "Mizuki, take care of our house, don't let those people take it away. I love you, Mizuki. I'll always be with you" she said before taking her last breath. Mizuki panicked and hugged her "Mommy! Don't go! Don't leave me alone" she pleaded but Sakura just laid there unmoving, her hands fell to her sides and Mizuki cried to her chest, begging her to stay.

Her surroundings changed and Mai/Mizuki was outside her door, awaiting the next group of people who tried to take away her house. Her long hair was black and it covered her face, she was wearing a ripped up old black sheet. Her face was dirty and covered in spots. A man in a traditional suite came by and she scowled, she ran in front of him and screamed as loud as she could

"Get out!" she screamed and the business man paled and stood there for a second before dashing away, Mizuki grinned at his direction, as days work's done. She went back in the house and cleaned up her face, she stopped at a room, it was her parents. She came in and gripped the sheets "No one will get this bed as long as I'm here papa, mama. They won't take away our family" she said lying down, her eyes were covered in tears and she clutched on the bed, sadness over whelming her again.

The scene changed and Mizuki was grinning from ear to ear, today's the day. She wore her favourite dress and took out the hammer and few nails from the cupboard and sharpened them, they were about 5 inches long. She slashed her arm with the nail and took the blood to her fingers. Mai felt the pain and cried out but no sound would come out, it was all in her thoughts, she couldn't control what was going to happen.

She felt everything Mizuki felt, the sick happiness she had from doing this and the pain…the pain was unbearable. Mizuki finished writing on the wall with her blood and took the hammer and the nails. Smiling brightly she brought her hand up against the front door, stretching it as high as she could.

She smiled and put the nail right in front of her palm and started to dig it in using the hammer, she didn't even flinch, all her sadness made her unfeeling of everything around her but for Mai, she felt everything, every strike she made with the hammer, diving the nail deeper into her hand. Mai screamed at the pain, she couldn't bear it.

Once Mizuki fished with the left palm she took the other nail in her hand and raised her hand up like with the first hand. She positioned the nail in the middle of her palms using her fingers and pressed hard, digging the nail though her skin. The nail was sharp so it had no problem, Mizuki pressed hard and Mai screamed, it just hurt so much.

She grinned as the nail went all the way though, her dress was drenched in blood and Mai felt all the pain but Mizuki didn't even whimper. 'I'll make sure no one ever comes in this house' she vowed before she took a last breath.

Mai sat up, her breathing heavy. She looked at her hands, there was no blood. She looked at her clothes, no blood either. She was sweating and looked around, Kazuki and Keiichi were right in front of her, worried expressions on their faces "What happened? You started to trash around and scream. Are you alright?" Keiichi asked and Mai nodded slowly, still trying to process that was she back.

Mai looked at her hands again frantically, there really was no blood. Tears filled her eyes and she lunged at whoever was nearest to her, not caring who it was. It was Keiichi, she cried hard on his chest and he rubbed her back soothingly. He looked at Kazuki nervously "Are you alright Mai?" he asked and she shook her head

"No, she- she a-actually d-did th-that. W-why?" she stammered and cried harder. Keiichi decided to let her calm down before asking anything. Kazuki left to get her a glass of water and Keiichi continued to rub Mai's back soothingly. He hated seeing her like this. Naru walked over and tapped on her shoulder. Mai looked up and caught his worried expression. She lunged at him and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly and cried to his chest.

He stayed still and saw Keiichi's glare, silently telling him to hug her already. He nodded and wrapped his arms around Mai, his grip tightening slowly as he did. It just got tighter and tighter until Mai was fully squeezed against him. He was honestly worried about her. He didn't like seeing her crying either. He ran his hand through her soft hair soothingly and gripped his arm around her waist.

She wrapped her legs around his waist like a monkey and the team gaped at them, Mai never did this. Naru just wrapped his arm securely on her waist and put the other around her head, tucking her under his chin. He let out a breath and started to rock Mai back and forth soothingly, head had absolutely no idea why he was doing it, it was all on impulse, but that didn't mean he didn't like it.

Kazuki came back and raised his brow at their position, smirking at Keiichi's jealous stare. "Shhh, Mai. It's okay" Naru whispered not loud enough for everyone to hear. He never, never would show them his good side, only a few snippets of it. He still had an almighty boss man image to keep after all.

Mai looked up and saw his warm gaze, she blushed and let go of him immediately. But he didn't, much to Mai's surprise. He kept his arms around her securely and Kazuki handed her the glass of water. She smiled at him gratefully "Thanks, Kazuki" she said and he nodded and kissed her forehead. He ruffled her hair before leaving her with Naru.

She drank the water greedily and Naru steadied the cup, noticing Mai's hands were like putty. She looked at him gratefully, though she was still blushing. She has never been this close to Naru and it gave her a thrill. She loved it, though she wouldn't say it out loud but she was sure Naru could feel her hummingbird heartbeat, it was pumping out her chest.

Naru was all but conscious by Mai's closeness but he didn't pay mind to it, his worry overcame that but if you looked closely you could see the slight blush on his cheeks but the group weren't concentrated on him, they were all looking at Mai. Their worry for the young girl surprised Keiichi and Kazuki, this group was really like a family to her as Mai said.

Masako was glaring at Mai, hatred burning through her. She could see everybody's worried glances and it angered even more. She was the star! She was the one that was beautiful! Not Mai! They didn't even pay attention to her when she almost collapsed yesterday but when it was with Mai, they were on full alert, she was confused by it but she was just mostly jealous whether she knew it or not.

She just thought of Mai as dead weight, someone unimportant. She wasn't needed, she had no idea why Naru even hired her, she was useless and she just slowed them down. She didn't understand why Naru –a famous paranormal researcher even paid attention to her. He was handsome, smart and rich why would he even take a second glance at Mai, a plain orphan girl? She was beautiful, famous and a talented psychic, she was the perfect match for him but he never paid attention to cold and distant, so she came to blackmailing him to dates. That didn't even work either.

She just kept glaring at Mai and felt someone stare on her, it was Kazuki. She angered him, he knew about Masako from Mai's stories and TV. As Mai described she was extremely bratty and a snob, which was true. It was to be expected, she was a celebrity and was rich, she would have obviously been spoilt but that was no excuse to treat Mai that way. Lady or not all he wanted to do was punch that glare right off of her face, she had no idea how much better Mai was than her. Mai was sweet, caring, modest and kind girl and she was the total opposite.

He glared at her and she diverted her eyes away from him and he smirked. He knew she was scared of him, she could feel his psychic energy and it terrified her on how much it was, it was like a million times more than Naru's!

Naru cradled Mai in his arms as she calmed down, not noticing the sly smiles of the other team members. Thank god Yasu wasn't here. "Thanks, Naru" Mai said smiling at him. He nodded and she moved so the team couldn't see what she was going to do. Gently, she placed a kiss on his cheek, blushing. "Thanks" she whispered

His cheeks turned to a light pink tint and Mai stood up and Keiichi nudged her "Good work, baby girl" he whispered and she blushed. Naru stood up, recovering from his shock and walked back to the monitors. Kazuki grinned at her and put her back to his lap "Who knew you were so bold, Mai" he said and Mai rolled her eyes.

"What time is it?" she asked and he checked his phone

"It's 4, you've been asleep for a while" he said and she frowned. Keiichi sat beside her and groaned "I'm so bored" he said and Mai grinned "What do you want to do?" she asked

"I'm hungry" he said and Mai grinned "I'll get us some food" she said trying to stand up, Kazuki stopped her "No, we're going to get some food. I'll go with you Mai" he said and Mai sighed but let him follow her anyway as she left, leaving Keiichi there, pouting.
