Ghost Hunt Story: Speak!
A/N: Heyy, This is Kitty and this is my first ever Solo Fanfic (I have helped a friend before) I hope you like it and sorry its short . I accept critisism
Mai POV
He stood there staring me down with his cold blue eyes. No emotion what-so-ever got passed his perfect mask. Not even a hint of sorrow at the fact that his own twin brothers body had been found and he would soon be leaving us…leaving me…for England. I knew it was now or never! Who knew if I would ever see him again? I had to speak!
I told him everything but he shot me down with bad excuse that I didn't love him and that I fooled my heart into loving him in place of his brother. In the end…he left and I was devastated and broken. Everyone else asked me what happened and I tried to tell them…anything, to say I was fine or to pour my heart out and tell them how broken I felt, I don't know which I would have done but I had no time to guess because my voice faded away further with each word I tried to force past my lips and my face cleared of all emotion. No matter how much I moved my lips my voice wouldn't come out and even if I wanted to I couldn't smile. Hidden somewhere in the pain, buried deep within, who knew when I would once again speak? For the last time I had spoken it hurt and I don't want to go through that again. I was nothing to him….I am nothing…..nothing…
2 Years later
Normal POV
After Naru left for England the girl known as Mai ceased to exist. She was there in all physical aspects but it was like her mind stopped working in some ways. She couldn't talk anymore and she couldn't smile. No one had seen her cheerful side for 2 long years. She became like a robot. Perfect at everything, including her studies. Mai was never a dumb girl, despite Naru's beliefs, she was just lazy but Robot Mai removed the laziness and so her true potential was shown. She also did well in studies despite not being able to talk.
Mai also kept in contact with the rest of the SPR gang, although she couldn't talk to them she did meet with them and to them it seemed like she listened. Monk and Ayako were the worst about it, they were always making sure she was ok like a mum and dad. John was the same as always, nice and trying to stop Monk and Ayako's fights. Masako was better than she used to be, she became nicer and cut the snob act, in fact she became the one that would talk to Mai the most despite Mai's state of silence and some would consider them best friends. Finally Yasu, he just never changed he kept his childish pranking ways and convinced himself it was for a good cause because he swore he saw Mai smile a bit after one of his pranks…well after it backfired and got him square in the face.
It was once again the first Wednesday of the month and so it was time for the old SPR gang to meet up chat or in Mai's case observe with the occasional gesture of her hand or random note to let them know she understands. Perhaps however this month might have more in store for our old SPR gang….
Mai POV
I arrived at the café that we always meet at about 10 minutes early so I walk into the small café and decide to find a seat. I can't talk, so I have learnt sign language but not many people know it so I settle for carrying a notebook around with me to write in so when the girl working in the café walks up to me I write that I would like a table for 5 and that the rest of my group will be arriving soon. She stands there for about 5 minutes first in shock that I can't talk and then she has this sympathetic look on her face where she feels sorry for me. I don't feel sorry for myself though because without talking about pointless things I can focus my mind into my college studies. I'm 17 now and I go to college a year early due to my outstanding performance during high school. I'm taking a few extra courses because I was allowed due to my amazing scores on my finals in high school. Anyway she eventually snaps out of it and leads me to a table and hands me a menu. She leaves me alone to decide on my drinks and food, and as soon as I look up from my menu the rest of SPR are at the door, I wave to them and they see me and head straight over so I continue looking at the menu. In the end I choose chocolate cake with tea. The rest decide on food and drinks as I use my notepad to write it all down so none of it is forgotten. After Monk has ordered for everyone we sit down to eat and chat.
"Hey, so Mai are you okay?" Monk asks a seemingly casual question but I could see the worry in his eyes. He and Ayako always worry about me and I feel bad for making them concerned but it's not like I choose not to talk, trust me I have tried, but every time I try to talk nothing will come out. I guess I'm just too scared to talk again in case it ends in hurt again. I send Monk a note across the table telling him "I'm fine, college is going really well! I'm top of my class again". He smiles at the note but I can see that he would give anything to hear me say that to him in person.
Time passes and we continue to talk, well I send people notes while they talk. Sometimes they seem like they are not sure if my mind is fully functioning because I don't talk but that isn't true. I'm still the same old me on the inside I just can't show it on the outside its very hard to explain but I know that it means one day I will be able to get over this and if I can't, well I don't mind I want to be a writer anyway so it's not like it's the world's most talkative job. As much as it sounds like I'm dwelling on the past, I really want to write ghost stories and I can use my time with SPR to make them seem real. However I don't want to dwell on a certain part of that past. Mostly the ending, I would definitely change that.
Everyone was done with food and drinks and saying their goodbyes, I was about to walk out of the café when I bumped into some tall guy that was just walking in. I bowed in apology obviously unable to say sorry when I heard the tall guy say "geez not even an apology, Japanese people must be getting ruder". I was looking through my bag for my notepad to write a note explaining that I can't talk so I can't say sorry when Monk came up and saw what was happening.
"Sorry Sir, my friend can't talk so she can't apologize properly so allow me to say-…Lin?" Monk had stopped talking to look at the guy properly at the same time that I stopped looking for my notepad. We saw the tall Chinese man who always looked after Naru. I was shocked, though I'm pretty sure it didn't show and I'm pretty sure so was the rest of SPR.
"Mai? Takigawa? Miss Matsuzaki? Miss Hara? John?" Lin said looking shocked and showing emotion on his stoic face for the first time ever "I can't believe we ran into you" Lin said after composing his face again.
"We?" Said Yasu "Oh and thanks for noticing I'm here as well" He pouted a bit about that but I could see that he wasn't that offended at all.
"Yes, we" said a cold cruel voice that I never thought I would have to hear again. In stepped the devil himself the man that left taking away my voice with him.
Naru.
