Ghost Hunt
SPR Case File: Undying Attraction
Chapter 12
9:45PM
Day 7 (Final Part 4)
(Previously)
"HAHAHAHA! Come at me girly."
"MAI!"
"MAAIIIIIIIIIIII"
Two deep deafening screams went after her.
Mai's POV
I heard Naru and Gene's voices scream my name from behind me, I didn't bother to look back. I only had eyes on Masako's possessed body, what went through my head at that exact moment was 'kick the monster out and take its place'. Or something along those lines anyway.
Honestly I don't know what I was thinking, I just ran in like an idiot determined to die. Well It was too late now, at lest that's what I thought. When I was charging at Masako, or to more precise the evil spirit that was possessing Masako. In my head I just automatically thought I could do anything as long as I tried, running through it logically that was stupid thinking. For sure Naru was going to point it out after all of this is done and over with.
As soon as my spiritual body collided with Masako I could only see white light, within that light there was a dark; very dense black orb floating in the middle. Or what seemed like a middle. When I look at it it hurt, the still lingering bruise on my neck started to burned and my eyes teared up. What ever it was, it wasn't good and most certainly not suppose to be tampered with it.
Deep in my subconscious I could her Masako screaming in agony, a scream I really didn't want to hear. Upon the terrible and uncomfortable sound I redirected my attention to the darkness, slowly my hand reached out to it. Every thing in my body (or soul) vibrated as I got closer, I knew the feeling. The feeling of fear, what if feels like to step into the unknown.
"MAI!"
A familiar voice yelled over the screeching, a male voice; one she knew oh so well. Naru.
"MAI!"
He yelled out again. I wasn't sure if it was Naru of Gene, they both looked a like. Gene always pretended to be Naru, it was just to sudden to think of him as just Gene. So who or which one was it calling out to me? Suddenly a new voice came in, a voice I've only heard once or twice before.
"No! Stay away Mr. Ohirono! They want you! They want the both of you, you and your wife!"
I tried scream out but it was thrown out the window quickly by another agonizing scream, Masako!
'Hang it there Masako I'll get you out of this!'
I yelled through my thoughts, even though Mr. Ohirono was there Masako was-is my top priority.
"Get out. You don't belong here, you never did. Leave and pay for your sins."
I told the black floating orb, as I suspected. It replied with a husky and rough male voice.
"And why would I do that? I like it here. I have a body now."
"You don't belong in the living anymore. And you're hurting Masako."
I bluntly stated.
"Pain is living. Aren't you yourself in pain? obsessing over something you can't have. HAHA! You aren't so different from me!"
He laughed in my face, the orbs outer ring scratched. The way he phrased my feelings made me feel really angry, maybe (just maybe) a vain swelled on my left temple.
"I'm not obsessing! Yes I'm watching, but we can't always get what we want. I won't let you have what you *want."
"Let's see you try!"
The black orb started to expand, getting large and taking what ever room was left in a space that looked infinite. Now that we weren't talking anymore, the spirit was focused on trying to expand itself to care about conversations. Then background sounds returned.
"MAI! Answer me!"
Naru was yelling, screaming Mai's name over and over as Masako's body screamed in return. Naru's fist clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white and his fingernails dug themselves into his palm, red drops fell to the ground.
Lin was completely useless and so was everyone else, all the SPR team could do was watch as Masako scream and Naru call out to Mai relentlessly.
A shaky voice broke the tension Naru was developing, his body went from tensing into an almost epileptic shock. The voice wasn't a voice he wanted to hear.
Masako's POV
I felt myself get lost in thought, the feeling, the way I let a spirit possess me. But this was more forced, I wasn't trying to let him in. I was useless now, I felt myself get more and more lost until a warm touch reached my heart. I couldn't see anything but I know it was Mai, she was doing something reckless again. I could hear faint muffles of sounds, I strained to listen further.
"Pain is living. Aren't you yourself in pain? Obsessing over something you can't have. NANA! You aren't so different from me!"
That voice belonged to a male, a bearer of evil. By just hearing his words made my heart shake in fear and disgust, this was the person possessing me? Mai was in more danger than she thinks, I could feel his intentions. Mai wasn't going to leave without dying first, that's what he wanted. Mai replied.
"I'm not obsessing! Yes I'm watching, be we can't always get what we want. I won't let you have what you *want."
Mai must have been talking about watching Naru, everyone knew she had a major crush on him. Because it was so obvious I always made mine more visible.
"Let's see you try!"
His voice boomed loud and clear, clear as day. Yet it was drenched in darkness, like the darkness of night. Mai was in danger, my heart was starting to feel like it was being squeezed and pushed out of my chest.
"Mai! Answer me!"
I heard Naru's voice scream her name, that wasn't making me feel any better. Was he even concerned about me at all? I was the one who got possessed after all. His voice carried fear, sadness, worry, anger, all the emotions he usually keep in check. Mai was the only one capable of that, the only one able to draw out his hidden emotions.
"...Mai-"
I let out a voice, I've been quiet for a while. I was beginning to think I couldn't speak, she didn't answer me.
"MA...ai!"
I tried again.
"Masako?"
She finally answered back. Thank god she was still alright, he was pushing me out. I was running out of time.
"Mai...Ge-..et out! o-f he...ere!"
My voice sounded like a broken record, but Mai should be smart enough to at least understand that much. She paused for a while.
"I can't! I've tried and I'm not about to leave you either! Naru needs you more than me!"
She screamed out, was she stupid? Oh of course she was, what was I thinking?!
"It's not m-e who - nee...ds."
God hearing myself trying to talk was terrible.
"What are you talking about, Masako?! He has feelings for you! He only sees me as a brat. I'm sure he'll be glad that I'm gone."
Now she was just talking stupidity. But Mai was just a normal teenage girl, she has her insecurities too. With me having something over Naru's head made it look all the more in my favor, that's what I *wanted. Yet still I was no match. Funny how she was right thought, we can't always get what we want.
Mr. Ohirono was there, he walked in on all of the commotion. In a matter of minutes things went from worst to catastrophic, SPR was literally handing them the dinner they were begging for.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! I told you to stay at the hotel!"
Naru was furious, everything was going in all the wrong direction. Nothing was following the plan and it was getting more dangerous by the second. People who weren't suppose to be there where there, friends who shouldn't be in danger are in danger. Naru was in no mood to hold onto composure.
"Damn it to hell!"
He yelled.
"Calm down Naru, yelling won't help. Try to think straight."
Lin reasoned, he stood himself in front of Mr. Ohirono in some type of defense. Takigawa on the other hand was still tending to Ayako in the corner. He lifted his head to Naru's tantrum, he was baffled. Naru rarely screamed at anyone, especially out of anger. When Naru is angry his tone deepens rather that rises, Ayako had also noticed the change. John though also seeing the rage was starting to pray for Masako, he wasn't going to bother about Naru when he wasn't doing anything about the recent situation.
"I'm sorry, but It has almost been a week. We were just wondering if things were almost done."
Mr. Ohirono's voice trembled in fear and guilt. Naru sighed big, finally getting his thoughts in order.
"Mr. Ohirono, these ghosts are out for you and your wife. I suggest you leave now."
Naru growled at the word 'now', Mr. Ohirono nodded. He felt bad for interrupting and was worried about the warning Naru just gave. He was about to leave when turning around he was stopped in his tracks.
"Naru!"
Masako's voice rang out, Naru whipped his head around to see Masako pointing. His eyes followed an his stomach dropped.
Mai's POV
Masako was talking to me, but she was all choppy. It was hard to understand her but I managed to put them together making out what she meant. She wanted me to get out, after she told me I tried. Sadly there was no exit in site, no way out. Suddenly she was rambling about Naru needing me or something, it wasn't making any sense. Masako was useful, pretty, popular, and smart in every way possible.
"What are you talking about?! Masako he has feeling for you! He only sees me as a brat. I'm sure he'll be glad that I'm gone."
I replied. This conversation was turning out to be more depressing than it should. I heard her somewhat sigh. Out of nowhere the black orb touch my arm, I yelped in pain. I had completely forgotten about it. It had burned my arm, my skin boiled and scrunched together like melting plastic. The skin turned red and crispy as it dried. I ran or floated, what ever it was I was getting away from it. In this white light it was hard to tell if I was my self or if I was a particle in the air.
"Ma...i. Do...some...thi-ing."
She said. Yeah, easier said than done! Then an idea came to mind, dangerous, possibly stupid...yes really stupid. But it was worth trying. I looked at the black orb, it was still growing. If I were to guess its size I would say it was as big as a building by now. I took a deep breath.
Here goes nothing!
Standing before Mr. Ohirono was the same little girl who appeared before the SPR team. Miri stood between the elder man and the door to the outside. Her eyes slipped to Masako then to Mr. Ohirono.
Naru felt helpless as a fly with broken wings, and the swatter was approaching fast. The end is near.
