Hotel Kinjo case chapter 3:

Soon after Monk, Ayako, Masako, Yasu, and John all showed up then went to work setting cameras and taking temps of the areas. Ayako went and watched Mai, helping with the normal cold necessities until she woke up.

Mai sat up slowly trying to figure out where she was, looking at Ayako. The young women's red hair flowed over her shoulders. She sat there digging through the first aid kit. "Here Mai take this medicine so you can get better faster." Ayako said handing her some pills.

"Ok...Thanks for taking care of me Ayako." Mai whispered taking the medicine. After a few minutes Mai fell asleep again. Ayako stood and walked into the base gaining Naru's attention.

"How's Mai?" Monk asked Ayako.

"She's ok she only has a fever and it should be gone in a few hours."

Naru sighed then went back to staring at the case information pretending to be busy reading. He didn't understand what had happened, they were in the car she had a dream then freaked out when she woke up, and also fell ill that is not one of the many things that normally happen.

"Monk, John I want you to go get the owner Mr. Kinjo. Miss Hara and Miss Matsuzaki walk around and see what you can sense." Naru said standing and walking to the door he nodded to Lin and walked out. He walked to the room where Mai was and shut the door. He pulled up a chair and sat next to the bed. Hours had gone by then Naru heard Mai mumble. He looked at her; Mai opened her eyes then sat up. "How are you feeling Mai?" Naru asked.

"I feel 100% ok, did something happen? When did we get to the hotel?" she asked looking around confused.

Naru stared at her for a moment, "Do you not remember anything?" he asked curious about the answer.

"I just remember getting in the van then everything went black." She said unaware of any events that took place.

"Well if your better I guess you're fine enough to make me some tea to." Naru said standing and walking out the door.

That little brat sometimes he doesn't deserve anything at all! Mai shouted in her head as she wandered the hallways for the kitchen.

Back at base

"Wait Naru... What do you mean she doesn't remember anything?! She asked if we were at the hotel when I gave her the medicine!?" Ayako yelled confused at what the young boss was saying.

"Like I said, the fever must have made her delirious then, because she said she only remembered getting in the van before she fell asleep." Naru stated. "Anyway, Miss Matsuzaki I want you to take Miss Hara and walk around again, John and Monk same with you try finding out some information from any remaining guest." Naru said while turning around to face the monitors. Everyone left to do the work they were assigned.

With Mai

"Man it took forever to find the kitchen, this place is unbelievably big!" Mai said looking for the kettle. When she found it she filled it with water and placed it on the stove. Mai turned around when suddenly flashes of her dream came to her. The woman with the knife to her throat flashed through her mind. Mai grabbed her head having suddenly seeing all this stuff caused a massive headache. Mai steadied herself on the counter, when she finally realized she could see her breath.

Mai looked around the kitchen when she heard, "HE'S MINE!" suddenly a glass cup smashed into Mai's head. She fell to the ground, knives and other objects began to be thrown at Mai.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, "NARU!" then another glass slammed into her head. Black dots began to form in her vision, before she blacked out the last thing she heard was Naru calling her name, and the feeling of someone picking her up.

When everyone got to the kitchen it was trashed. Naru stood next to Lin who held Mai, though he didn't want Lin to be holding her he had lacerated his arm blocking a knife from stabbing Mai. Lin carefully carried Mai back to the base with Naru and the whole group on his heels, he opened the door and walked in. "Lin put her on the couch, Naru you go to the couch and wait for me to find my kit." Ayako commanded as she walked to her purse to dig out her medical kit.

"Is that why your bag is hard, you old hag?" Monk asked standing behind her. She turned and beat him in the head with the kit.

"Shut up now's not the time." Ayako yelled at him.

"Then why did you hit me!?" Monk yelled at her.

"Any day now." Naru said taking a seat on the couch.

Lin rolled his eyes at the couple as they argued and followed Naru to the couch. Mai stirred in Lin's arms, "Lin" Mai said as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Taniyama-san are you ok." Lin asked as he set her down on the couch.

Mai suddenly wrapped her arms around Lin's neck and yanked his face towards hers'. Mai kissed Lin passionately; he froze staring in shock at her, he felt her grip tighten to where he wouldn't be able to release himself. Ayako and Monk stopped fighting and stared in astonishment at the scene before them. John blushed madly as so did Masako. Yasu smirked and looked at Naru noticing the tension in his body as he watched the two practically make out.

Naru froze, something in him snapped. The furniture began to rattle as Naru grabbed Lin and Mai, ripping them apart. Mai instantly fainted, he threw Lin against the wall pinning him there. When Mai came to she saw Naru hold Lin to the wall. "Naru!?" Mai screamed in his arms.

Naru snapped out of it, he looked at the girl in his arms then to Lin and released him. "Naru! What are you doing!?" she yelled at him.

"What am I doing!? I think I should ask you that!" Naru hissed at her.

Mai flinched at his tone; she has never seen Naru this mad ever. "What are you talking about?" she asked with a confused look plastered on her face.

"You know what you did! You just kissed Lin!" he yelled at her. She stared, shocked at Naru, she had never seen so much emotion written on his face. "Not only that you've been acting strangely around him this whole time and you won't tell us why! What are you love with him!?" Naru yelled.

Mai sat there still in shock, I kissed Lin! There's no way I would have known if I did that! Mai sat there a few moments when everything went black. Mai looked up at him, "Yes indeed I do Love Lin." She said smiling sweetly.

Naru stood and dropped them both walking out the door, "Naru..."Masako started.

"Shut up Masako I don't want to hear anything from you right now." Naru hissed and glared at the medium. Naru rushed down the hall away from the room, sick he wanted to forget everything that just happened.

Back at base

Mai sat there in a daze, when she finally looked up she asked, "Hey you guys where did Naru go?" they looked at her like she was crazy.

"I think we should leave him alone." Masako said with tears in her eyes.

"Masako!? What happened?" Mai asked concerned.

"It's your entire fault Naru yelled at me!" she hissed at Mai, she wanted to celebrate that he finally said her first name, but it wasn't for a good reason.

"My fault!? How is it mine!?" Mai asked confused.

"You let that stupid ghost possess you!" she yelled back this time tears were falling down her face.

Monk and Ayako along with John sighed, "That a relief, I thought you really had just confessed to Lin." Monk said.

Mai blushed not knowing what was going on anymore, "That's not true! I'm not in love with Lin at all! The person I love is Na-" she slammed her hand over her mouth to stop what she was about to confess.

Yasu stepped forward, his glasses gleamed omnisciently. He smirked, "Oh really Mai... so you really do love the big boss, how could you! When you have me!" he hugged her and faked cried on her shoulder.

His black hair tickled her neck, "I didn't say that!" Mai yelled her face going redder than it was already.

"Oh silly Mai, we already know you like Naru you might as well just confess it, also we should tell Naru what happened so he doesn't misunderstand anything." Monk said, but little did they know Naru was just outside of the door listening to their conversation.

Mai loves me? No she probably still has her feeling for my brother... Naru thought.

You idiot she practically just confess her love for you, and you think she's talking about me still!? A voice yelled in his head.

Naru put his normal stock mask on and calmly walked into the base, now knowing that what had happened was only a possession, and not how Mai really felt. With that in mind Naru felt a wave of relief go over him. All eyes were on him anxiously wondering what would happen. Mai and John rose from the couch they were sitting on, and walked to Naru.

John whispered in his ear, his Australian accent thick and heavy, "Naru the ghost has possessed Mai the entire time so do you want me to do an exorcism?" Naru stared at Mai then nodded; they walked out of base into another room. John left Naru and Mai to go get the appropriate things needed to complete the exorcism. Mai looked at Naru wondering how to apologize for the things she might have done to make him mad.

"Naru, I'm sorry if I may have done something to make you mad." Mai whispered looking down at the floor as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.

Naru looked at her in confusion, why is she the one apologizing to me? He thought. "Mai..." Naru called her calmly. Mai didn't look up she didn't want to see his face at the moment. "Mai look at me, I'm not mad at you." He said softly walking in front of her. Mai slowly lifted her head, her breath caught when she saw his eyes. They were full of emotion, they were kind of sad but soft and showing what he thought. Mai really wanted to tell herself what she was seeing was the truth, but she knew what she saw was only her imagination. She really thought she saw some love. But that couldn't be possible, could it. Naru reached to touch her cheek, "Mai-" when suddenly he was cut off by the door swinging open. John walked in and looked at Mai who was blushing madly and a calm Naru.

"Ok I brought some rope just in case, Mai we are probably going to tie you up so no one gets hurt will that be ok?" John asked nicely.

"That's fine" Mai said walking over to him. After Mai was tied up John started.

John splashed holy water on Mai and started his prayer. "Our father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. In the beginning was the word-" A shirk erupted from Mai, John flinched at her sudden loudness. He continued, "And the word was with god and the word was god. I pray that whoever may be in this child to leave her peacefully."

Mai fell on the floor seizing, and then froze. Mai looked grinning maliciously, a look that was never meant to be on her face, "Just kidding..." Monk and Ayako along with the rest of the team busted through the door.

"Mai!" they scream, her face went to that of sad painful one.

With tears in her eyes she looked at Monk, "Help me, I think they are possessed!" she cried in fear. Monk looked at John and Naru, he just couldn't believe John, but Naru is another story.

Monk glared at Naru, "Who are you!?" he yelled.

Naru returned his glare, "Takigawa-san I believe, you should step aside and let John finish the exorcism."

Monk looked at John again, "don't worry I'll hurry..." he said proceeding to continue the prayer.

Mai began to glow and things lifted from their spots and flew at John. Monk then clicked that this was one powerful ghost, and John might need help getting it out of her. Monk and Ayako started to chant along with John, after a few moments everything dropped to the ground and Mai stopped moving. John's blond hair was thrown every which way. He closed his bible and sighed, a few drops of sweat had appeared on his baby face.

Masako stood there with her kimono sleeve in front of her mouth in a muse. Her silky black hair brushed her shoulders, her icy blue eyes ran across Mai's still form.

"What happened? Why was Mai glowing...?" Monk asked to no one.

"It was probably the ghost; it's a poltergeist that has PK." Naru answered picking Mai up taking her to the room that she was in before. Naru laid her down on her bed and was about to walk out when he heard Mai mumble.

"Naru..." she turned facing him with a smile on her face still asleep. He froze waiting to hear what she had to say. Her face turned into that of a pained one, "Naru p-please don't..." she cried.

Naru panicked, what is she dreaming about now? Naru walked back to the bed then leaned over Mai as she began the mumble again, "Naru please don't leave me..." she cried silently. Is this girl still awake? Naru sat on the edge of the bed; he reached forward and cupped her cheek.

"I'm not going anywhere Mai." Naru slowly started to remove his hand when Mai had pulled him down on the bed. Naru's eyes widen, and if you knew Naru you probably would have noticed the faint blush that dusted his cheeks.

Naru turned to look at the girl who was hanging onto him for dear life sobbing. He frowned slightly, and then a surprising statement came like a heart attack. "Naru... don't leave me I love you..." Mai cried. Naru's heart began to race, it's a lie she's just confusing her love for Gene with me. Naru told himself sadly.

"Dude! Are you an idiot!?" Naru turned to see Gene glaring at him, he looked beyond livid. Naru had never seen Gene so mad before. "She goes and confesses her love to you yet you still think she likes me!? Are you really that stupid, she has known you for 2 year, knows about everything and yet still loves you. NOT. ME!" Gene Yelled. Naru laid there dumbfounded not knowing what to say to his brother. "You know what, if you're going to be like this and treat her the way you do, I guess I'll just take her from you, so you can know how it feels to have what you love the most taken from you. Life is too short to be living it the way you're living it, and believe me if you're going to keep Mai waiting then you don't deserve her." Gene hissed with tears in his eye, as he recalled everything that had happened to him. "So what's it going to be Naru?" Gene said in a lower voice.

Before Naru could answer Mai yelped causing Naru to look away from Gene to a very red Mai. He looked back to where Gene was but found nothing.

With Mai

Mai snuggled closer to the unknown heat source that was next to her. You know I never knew that a pillow could be this warm... or breath! Mai thought. Mai slowly started to open her eyes until she heard a voice yelling and it sounded a lot like Naru. Mai decide to open her eyes catching the last part of the conversation, "So what's it going to be Naru?" Mai looked at the shirt she was holding then to the face of its owner. Naru was laying there with her! Mai let out a surprised yelp. Naru looked at her then back to the doorway.

Back to normal reading

"N-na-naru wh-what are y-you doing i-in b-bed wi-ith me?" Mai stuttered embarrassed and red letting go of him.

"Well Mai you fainted after the exorcism, and I was bring you back to your room. When you suddenly pulled me down and wouldn't let go." Naru said with his normal stoic face.

Mai blushed beyond anything Naru had ever seen her do, he thought for a moment, she had a dream in the car I need to ask her before that ghost does anything else.

"Mai, I need you tell me the dream you had in the car and what happened when you woke up before the ghost can hurt anyone else." Naru said sitting up.

Mai looked away from him with tear slowly filling her eyes as she thought back to her dream she had. "There was this lady; s-she was here at the hotel. I think there was a wedding or something, because it was decorated beautifully. She kept saying things like, 'they betrayed me' or 'I thought we would be together forever'. Then she took a boy with her I felt like something bad happened to him, and then it changed to her mumbling to herself in a room. She s-he pulled out a knife and sh-she slit her thr-throat. Bl-blood there there was s-so much... it was everywhere. But when I woke up in the car and looked into the mirror I was covered in her b-blood" Mai whimpered the last part of the dream and the events that took place in the car; she began to cry practically re-seeing everything in front of her. Naru tensed up not knowing what to do for her, he was never a good comforter, but he tried his best.

"Mai... its okay it was only a dream." Naru whispered.

"NO! It's Not! This really happened, every dream I have like this with a ghost they show me the past! She really committed suicide." Mai cried harder. Naru panicked, when he heard footsteps running to the room. Monk and Ayako were the first to enter, heading to Mai. Naru was about to move to the side for them to comfort her when she grabbed his hand begging him, "Don't go, please don't leave me."Mai cried.

"I won't Mai, I won't leave you." Naru whispered thinking about what Gene had told him, and Mai's confession. Naru sat back on the bed. Monk and Ayako stood next to the bed to try and start calming Mai down, after a few minutes Mai had fallen back to sleep, Naru tucked her in and walked towards the door then turned to Ayako, "Miss Matsuzaki, make a charm for Mai, then join us back in the base I need to tell everyone about Mai's dream and I don't wish to repeat myself." Naru said walking out of the room to the base. Soon after Monk and Ayako joined them in the base.

"What happened in Mai's dream?" John asked, his baby blue eyes focused on Naru.

"Mai finally remembers what her dream was and everything that has happened." Naru stated looking at the group before him. "Mai told me that a wedding had occurred at this hotel, and the ghost I presume was the lady in her dream that committed suicide. I want the research of the hotel done. Yasuhara and John I want you to go get the history of the hotel, and family." Naru ordered.

John and Yasuhara left to go get the needed information, after they left an hour later Mai woke up and came to the base. "Hey Mai how you feeling!" Monk asked giving her a tight bear hug. She looked up from her bear hug at monk, his sandy hair brushed his shoulders. You know, with his long blond hair you would've never guessed he was a monk. He really only looks like a bass guitarist. She laughed at her thought.

Ayako smacked him in the head with her purse, "She'd probably feel worse if you don't let go of her you dirty old man." She yelled.

"What did you call me you old hag!?" Monk yelled back smirking. Ayako scoffed, but before the two could argue anymore Naru interrupted them.

"Miss Mitsuzaki take Mai to go make some tea, when y'all come back we will discuss the sleeping arrangements." Ayako turned to see Mai standing patiently by the door. Ayako stood grumbling to herself as she and Mai walked out the base door.
