I'm so sorry this took me so long to get out, i kinda rushed the end cause i wanted to actually finish a story. read the an at the end for more info.

One year later Mai stood in a church wearing a light pink dress. Ren stood behind her wearing a dress much like her mother's only with more puff. The mother and child were both there to be in Ayako's wedding. Mai the maid of honor and Ren the flower girl.

The music started and Mai walked out after the bridesmaids who consisted of Masako and Madoka. At the alter was Bou, wearing a black suit, with a nervous smile on his face. Next to him as his best man was the one person Mai had eyes for. Naru stood with a smirk on his face, staring at the beautiful girl walking towards the alter. Lin stood next to Naru, he stared at Madoka. Kyan was the ring bearer and so was not at the alter yet. John stood in the front with his priest clothes on, a bible in his hands and smile on his face.

After everyone had made their way to the alter the final song started playing and those in the seats rose. The doors opened and there stood Ayako in her white dress. The ceremony for the Monk and Miko truly began at that point.

When the wedding was over the sun was setting. The dinner party was in full bore at Ayako's family manor in the country and everyone was having fun.

Finally the eating was done and the dancing started. Everyone stood and watched as Ayako and her father had a dance and after half the song passed Bou stepped in. Soon the lookers were the dancers.

Mai smiled, watching the soft atmosphere. She wondered to herself when Naru would ever take the initiative and ask her the big question. But still, Mai was happy with her life.

Naru had returned to Japan and started to take care of the kids. Ren and Kyan had come to see him as a father figure and started calling him Otou-san. Mai of course, wanting to bring in the English side of the family, urged them to call him father. But they liked Otou-san better.

Everyone's lives were great and Mai did not care a thing in the world. She and Naru had picked up from where they left off, though with some difficulties. Life just could not have been better.

Three months later Mai and Naru were on a date. Yes, the narcissistic man took his girlfriend on a date. Ren and Kyan were with John.

Naru took Mai to the tea shop down the road from SPR and then they walked all over town. Mai was having a great time and did not want for it to stop. But sadly, as the sun was setting, they made their way to pick up the kids.

"Mai, I want to take you to one last spot,"

Mai looked at Naru with the eyes that he loved, "Where?"

"Just close your eyes and I'll lead you there,"

Mai closed her eyes and felt the soft warmth of Naru's hand grabbing hers. They walked some distance and then stopped. When Mai opened her eyes she was breathless.

The couple stood on a path lined by cherry blossoms and when Mai looked up at Naru she saw that he was slightly red. This was the place he had become her boyfriend, the place he had chased her down to had breathlessly spilt out his feelings for her.

Naru coughed, bringing Mai into the real world, "Years ago, in the past, we stood here. Little did we know that what happened that day would lead to broken hearts and years of waiting. But here we are again, with each other." Naru paused, not truly knowing where to go with this, the speech he had rehearsed fell apart when he looked into Mai's eyes.

"Naru?" Mai asked, not really knowing what he was getting at.

Mai had always been one for the romantic feelings but Naru had always just been a down to the point person. He took one breath and made the decision to not wait any longer.

Taking one knee, Naru fished a small black box out of his pocket, "I've carried this since you returned it, let's hope it brings more luck now than it did then," Naru opened the bow to show a diamond ring. One large diamond in the middle and two small ones on either side of it, " I might have had it altered somewhat… One diamond for each love in my life... Mai, will you marry me?"

Mai's eyes watered. She had wanted for this to happen since she and Naru had gotten together again and joy overwhelmed her heart. All she could do was nod her head as Oliver Davis stood with a smile and slipped the ring onto her finger, kissing her on the lips. Truly, now Mai knew she could have the life she had always wanted.

Ok, so i feel oober sorry for not updating soon, my computer crashed and then i had to work for hours on end to fix it and when i finally got it back to working everything i had written was gone. this is the end of THIS story.

Now, i do have a question for all of you. Should I write another case between the time of last chapter and this chapter (the one year span) or should I go back and write the 'before'? You guys decided because I am up for anything, but I do not like to write more than one story at a time so I will not write them both at the same time.

As I said earlier, I am sorry for the long delay in getting it out and for the ending being rushed. OH! Another thing, I am planning on writing an alice in wonderland story so if you like my style of writing check it out when i post it, which may be in awhile because i have loads of work to do and am still toying with the idea. that fic will be much darker than this one and consist of M rated material. Writing the alice in wonderland fic will not stop me from continuing with my ghost hunt fic but it will make the updates slower than one per every day or so, but the chapters in my next couple fics will be longer.

Anyways, enough of my rambling, i hope you all have a great life and hope to hear from you about which fic to write. Thank you all for reading this story.
