DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ghost Hunt!

PLEASE vote on my new poll :) I would love my lovely reviewers and readers opinions. On that note please review aswell! haha

The door to the dining room opened again and I heard a voice a never thought I would hear in England.

"Hello my loves I am finally here".

I stiffened and my eyes widened, I glanced towards Ayako and Bou-san who were staring with slightly widened eyes at the door before they both glanced quickly at me. I shook my head quickly and they both exchanged a look I couldn't interpret.

The person came closer to the table as everyone stopped talking and looked towards him. "Oh Monk! I have finally found you" the person said in a mock love voice "I thought you had left me forever my love".

I had to slap my hand over my mouth so I wouldn't laugh out loud at Bou-san's embarrassed and wary face.

"Oh and the lovely Ayako, what's this I hear about you both going out" the voice turned mock hurt "Monk are you cheating on me? Don't you love me anymore?"

Before either of the red faced people could respond he carried on "if you two are hear then where is my lovely Mai".

I flinched as everyone turned to look at me, my face turned red and I slowly turned around to face the person. Before I could even speak or get a good look at him he pulled me into a hug.

"Ca…can't…breath!"

"Oh, hehe sorry Mai-chan it's just been too long" he let me go and I was able to look up at him.

"Yes" I smiled slightly "is has Yasu".

I could not believe that Yasu was here, I sat watching as he laughed at something Bou-san said. Bou-san and Ayako kept glancing at me warily and then back at Yasu unsure of what to do but I ignored them … all of them.

I sat quietly listening to Masako as she told me about her upcoming television show, I nodded and murmured agreements or disagreements at all the correct moments and she seemed happy enough. Warily I glanced around the table and blushed glancing quickly away from Oliver as soon as our eyes met.

I finished my conversation with Masako as quickly and politely as possible, thankfully she turned and started talking to John. Pushing myself away from the table I excused myself from the room claiming to be too tired. Before anyone could stop me I had escaped from the dining room and was sneaking out of the back door.

It may have been dark outside but it was warm and the moon was bright. I smiled as I entered a beautiful garden, it was nearly as big as the house and that was saying something since the house seemed to be the size of a mansion.

Beautiful roses lined the garden, all different colours, as well as roses there were other colourful and sweet smelling flowers all around the garden. The grass was so green and I could smell that it had been recently cut. I was grateful that it had stopped raining for once.

I moved to the middle of the garden and lay on the short grass staring up at the starry sky and the full moon. I closed my eyes briefly with a sigh and felt my body relax.

I heard someone come towards me and opened my eyes squinting up into the face of Yasu. He smiled down at me and I smiled back, patting the ground next to me.

He let himself drop to the ground with a sigh, his usual mischievously smiling face was looking down at me seriously. "I didn't think I would see you again".

I but my lip and pushed myself into a sitting position, tucking my hair behind my ear I glanced down at my lap "I wasn't sure If I wanted to see you again Yasuhara".

He winced slightly and looked away from me "ah, back to the full last name I see".

I sighed and pulled my gaze off my lap to look at him "how did you think I would be?" frowning I narrowed my eyes at him "your parents didn't think me good enough so you dumped me Osamu, how do you think I felt after being told I wasn't good enough!"

I pushed myself up off the floor and moved to go inside but a hand grabbing my wrist stopped me "I'm sorry Mai, I never meant to hurt you".

I glanced back to him with tears in my eyes "at the time I had never been through so much pain" I whispered. Turning away from him before he noticed the tear falling down my cheek I walked back to my room as quickly as I could.

I closed myself in and in my thoughts I shouted at myself for being so stupid! For letting my guard down and acting so weak!

I leaned against the door and slid down it "oh Okaasan (is that how you say mum?) I really miss you" I placed my head in my hands and gripped my hair in frustration "you would know just how to make me feel better".

"Mai!" it was like a whisper, a beautiful whisper … one I knew very well.

I slowly let go of my hair and looked up, all I could see was a bright light in the middle of the room.

"Mai, my beautiful Mai" the voice whispered again.

Blinking away the shock and the tears still on my lashes I pushed myself up off the ground.

"Okaasan?"

"Yes Mai" the soft voice said.

Another tear slid down my face but this one was happy, I smiled sadly up at the bright light. "I miss you".

I felt rather then saw my Mum in the middle of the bright light smile "I miss you too honey, now please listen" she finished urgently "give it time Mai, as soon as you stop looking help will come your way … you will find us Mai but you must stop looking".

I stared at her confused "you don't want me to look for you?"

Another sad smile "Mai, your Father and I … we're already dead sweetie".

I choked on a sob and the light came closer, I clutched at my chest "b …but-" she cut me off before I could sat anything.

"Mai listen to me, these … things are not something you can go up against at the moment, you need to realise your own power … your own worth before you can ever meet one" a part of the light moved closer and stroked the side of my face "I hope you never meet one but you're as stubborn as your father".

We both chuckled, mine coming out as a choking sob "I … I …" shaking my head and sighing "I understand, I wont go looking for them, but what will I do?"

I felt myself pulled into a hug and I sighed at the familiarity and the warmth that spread through my body.

"Stay here with your Ghost hunting friends, take them up on their offer for help … tell them, tell them it isn't time to research those demons honey. Help them before you help yourself … isn't that what you have always done Mai?"

I sighed and nodded against her chest "okay" I murmured "I promise, I wont do anything until I get a sign" she seemed to glow with happiness.

"Good I'm glad, I love you Mai, your Father loves you too".

I nodded and smiled as I felt her kiss my forehead and stroke my hair "I know, I love you both too".

This time she smiled "we know, now I must go. Please be safe, don't do anything stupid, accept help when you need it and Mai honey" I looked up into her glowing face "believe in yourself when your feeling at your lowest … trust your instincts" she said with a knowing grin.

I noticed the glow was fading "Okaasan" I murmured sadly "I love you".

"Remember Mia trust your instincts about everything" the whisper faded into nothingness leaving me in my darkened room alone.

"Mai!" I heard the constant and panicked knocking.

"Yes?" I called out suddenly feeling tired, I moved to open the door and Gene ran in glancing around the room warily.

"Are you okay?" after he finally realised no one else was in the room.

I nodded slowly "of course, why wouldn't I be".

He frowned as he looked at me "you've been crying" he states. Before I can say anything he grabbed my hand and pulls me out of the room.

"Gene! Where're we going?" when he didn't reply I stamped my foot and tried to stop him "Eugene!"

He stopped and turned to me, he moved closer and before I could even do anything he picked me up and slung me over his shoulder. I yelped in shock and started lightly punching his back.

"Let me go! Put me down Gene!"

I heard him sigh exasperated "just a few more steps"

"Eh?" I said stupidly.

I screamed as he suddenly dropped me, I bounced on the mattress before I glared up at him. "why did you do that you idiot?" I smacked his chest and moved to get back off the bed.

But he jumps on me making me scream again.

"Aaaagh! What are you doing?"

"Be quiet and stay still!"

"Only if you control yourself man!"

Rolling his eyes in amusement he slowly moved his body of my legs. I glared up at him with a pout and crossed my arms.

"Idiots" I heard a murmur from the bed beside the one I was sat on and I turned quickly with a brush spreading across my cheeks".

"O … Oliver?" I spluttered making him glance up from his book and raise an eyebrow in question.

"Yes?" he says.

I glanced at Gene with narrowed eyes "what was that for?" I hissed.

He just smiled innocently "I know that the only way to get you to answer my questions truthfully is when my dearest brother Noll is in the room".

I felt myself blush again and my eye twitched "whatever do you mean?" I said through gritted teeth as I looked anywhere then at the two brothers. I noticed ones grin widen whilst the other looked at us both confused.

"Why would I have to be in the room for her to answer a question truthfully?" I bit my lip as I heard Oliver ask the question.

I turned to Gene with disbelieving eyes as he started to talk "well you see this one right here" he starts tapping my head "she'll only answer questions when she sees your hand-"

I shriek slightly and jump at Gene slapping his mouth with my hands. I land on top of him breathing hard as he laughs beneath.

"I don't know what you mean Gene" I say trying to sound bored with this conversation, even though you could clearly tell … by me flying across the room to stop him talking … that I was not fine with the way this conversation was going.

Oliver made a noise that could have sounded like a chuckle had he not said "can you both stop acting like little children for more then five minutes and please some one tell me what the hell you both are going on about" he snapped "What questions need answering Gene!"

I glanced hesitantly at Gene unsure whether or not to remove my hand and allow him to talk but I screamed and jumped back as he licked my hand.

"ew" I moaned "ew, ew, ew, ew, Oh my god, ew" I kept saying as I wiped my hand over and over again on Gene's t-shirt.

He just chuckled and shrugged "you wouldn't let go" he says simplt and moves to flop down on top of his bed.

I watch him warily with my nose wrinkled disgusted at him licking my hand. "Men" I mumbled as I moved to sit on the end of Noll's bed, not trusting Gene but also not wanting to be too close to Noll.

I watched them both warily as they looked at me. I glanced from one pair of blue eyes to the next and finally snapped "what?"

They both shrugged "nothing" Oliver said whilst Gene said "we're just surprised that you would choose to sit on Noll's bed" he says whilst grinning mischievously.

I narrowed my eyes at him "I didn't trust you not to attack me with your tongue" I blush when I realised how that sounds.

"That sounded so wrong" laughed Gene.

My eyes widened and my mouth fell open, I started flapping my arms around in front of me "you know I didn't mean it like that!" I practically shouted at him.

Oliver rolled his eyes whilst Gene winked "course not".

I mumbled about them both being Jerks and glared down at my lap, not daring to say anything to either twin. I sigh tiredly "why did you kidnap me again?" I ask Gene whilst yawning.

"I felt a presence" he murmurs capturing the attention of me and Noll.

"A … a presence?" I ask shakily.

"He means a spirit Idiot" Oliver states with a bored look as he goes back to reading his book "and what does this have to do with me?"

I blush in anger and grit my teeth "I know what he meant you … you jerk!"

"Clearly you wouldn't have or you wouldn't have stuttered it so stupidly".

I gritted my teeth and was about to snap back a reply when Gene cleared his throat gaining both of our attentions.

Gene glances warily from his brother to me then back "the presence was in Mai's room".

There was an awful quiet as I kept my glance away from either brother.

"Good or bad?"

"I wasn't sure at first but as I got closer I realised it was good, the spirit felt warm" Gene answered without hesitation.

I finally moved my gaze away from the closed doorway and back at Gene, I bit my lip nervously and tucked my hair back behind my ear.

"Who was it?" Oliver asked.

Gene opened his mouth to reply when I quietly whispered "my Okaasan".

I glanced back down at my lap as both twins snapped their gazes towards me.

"What?" they asked at the same time.

I shrugged and moved to get up and walk to the door "some things are private and you shouldn't push to know".

Gene quickly stood up "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push I was just scared, I want you to be safe Mai".

I stopped and turned slightly to smile at him "you sound just like my Mother" I said with a slight chuckle. I bit my lip and frowned "she doesn't want me to go looking for her … for them".

"But if she was a spirit then …" Gene hesitated and I nodded with a sniffle.

"She's dead … they're dead" I shook my head at the round of new tears that wanted to come. Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly and brought my arms around myself "I knew it so I don't know it came as such a shock when she told me".

I shook my head and closed my eyes, opening them again I turned to see Oliver looking at me with worry hidden beneath his blue eyes. My gaze how ever was brought to the book on his lap that was left forgotten.

"You're still reading it?" I asked hesitantly.

He nodded "yes, I'm researching. Something I'm sure that only a genius like my can do".

I felt my left eye twitch as I glared at him in anger "my god, you're a Narcissist! Shouldn't have been called Noll" I muttered to myself "should have named you Naru! Short for Narcissist!" suddenly I grinned I really liked that idea!

"Yes" I shouted and pointed at Noll … now Naru "I shall call you Naru from now on". I grinned and laughed at his shocked face before skipping out of the room suddenly feeling happy with myself.

All thoughts of my worries were pushed to the back of my mind and my dreams were full of Naru.
