Z is for… Zoo- a place where there's always commotion, little kids, and the occasional freaky clown. Oh and animals too, let's not forget that.

Thirty-something year old Oliver Davis sat in the peaceful comfort of his study. His black notebook was sitting in his lap and another really large book sat on the arm of the chair. A silver pen followed along the lines of the book, and then quickly went down to scratch notes on the notebook. Stretched out on the recliner was a large, long haired, black and white cat.

Leo's yellow eyes were closed tightly as he snoozed in the comfort of the silence, but his ears were still alert. After all, he did have to keep alert with two kittens in the house; he never wanted to be caught off guard.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

The man's head instantly snapped up as he looked over the chair and found a young girl run in. The snoozing cat shot his head up to observe the scene, and lay back down when he realized he was not the target in question. Long, black hair trailed behind her and her dark blue eyes were full of determination. He was quick to reach his hands out, and catch his youngest. He sat her gently on his lap and watched her for a second.

"What's wrong Gwendolyn?"

Her lower lip puckered out as she stared at him angrily.

"Maddie told me that there were evil spirits living inside my doll!"

As if to prove her point, Gwendolyn held up her little doll with blonde curls. Naru did his best to not shudder at the memory of a certain case and shook his head. He sighed and rubbed his temples, trying to come up with something to say.

'It's always going to be a zoo around here, isn't it?' He couldn't help but think.

"Now what makes Maddie say that?"

"Uncle Yasu keeps telling her stories about dolls coming to life! I don't want my doll to eat my hair and take my soul away forever! I want you to prove her wrong!"

Oliver took the doll from her and rubbed her back to soothe her.

"You know it's impossible for any angry spirit to even be here?" He asked.

"B-but how do we know?"

"Let's find your sister, and I will explain it all."

"Did you find the spirit?"

A girl stood at the doorway to his study. She was identical to her sister, aside from the long hair. Her hair was cut short like her mother's hair. Her blue eyes were full of curiosity more than mischief.

"Maddie, we're going for a stroll."

"I'm not in trouble, am I?" She asked, taking a step back into the corridor.

A soft smile assured her she was not.

"I just want to show something important to the two of you."

Gwendolyn was quick to get out of her father's lap as the elder of the twins joined the group. Naru pushed open the doors that lead out to the gardens and let the girls walk in front of him.

They walked out to the garden and waited for their father to show them where they were going. He waited to see if Leo would step out with them. The giant feline took advantage of the opportunity and strolled out with the girls. He purred as Gwendolyn reached down and ran her fingers through his long hair.

"You girls remember the metal plaques surrounding the house?"

Both of them nodded and followed their dad carefully; they knew a lesson was going to come. Naru found the plaque he remembered making and pressed his hand on it. He smirked as he felt the energy flowing through it to connect the others.

"This is a safety charm that your mother and I made. You remember what we do, right?"

Both of the girls nodded.

"Yes! You save the world with your powers!"

He bit back a chuckle at Gwen's answer and smiled even more.

"Something like that. Anyways, this keeps all of the unwanted spirits out."

"So nothing bad will happen to us." Maddie confirmed.

"Yes. Just like that. Besides, you're still protected regardless if the plaques fail."

"How?"

"You have an angle watching over you."

"You must mean Uncle Gene."

Naru's smile quickly faded as he crouched down to study Gwendolyn. He was astounded, both of the girls were too young to even begin to develop their powers.

"You've met Gene?"

Maddie nodded and answered.

"Yeah, he comes and visits us in our dreams whenever he wants to. He also tells us to call you a funny name."

"I can only imagine what he would tell you too."

Naru only chuckled to himself and straightened up.

"Well, it seems like your mother and I need to have a little chat to Uncle Yasu, don't we?"

Giggling, the girls reached up and grabbed Oliver's hands. He was happy with his little zoo, his family, and nothing would change that.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Ghost Hunt or any of its characters or Japan for that matter. Just my laptop and the songs I bought and listened to this while I wrote it. Leo is also mine. Don't take him. MY KITTY.

A/N: Anyways, thank you all for the support once again and I'll say it one more time: if there is a letter you would LOVE to see/ redone, I would be happy to return and do it all over again. I honestly would. This has been a wonderful experience, and I'm sorry it took so long to do it. Life just likes to get in the way with my writing. I don't like it that much… :/ Oh well! I will eventually do another Ghost Hunt story, though not too soon. I gots to get through this semester first; algebra is demanding time. If you guys have any request and/or ideas, feel free to write me. If you want any help with anything that I can provide, don't be shy. I love helping, especially my loyal fans. Even those silent readers who read and never review. I know you're there. ;) Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Love,

Jazzy
