Ghost Hunt ~ Repeated Past

File 9: Repeated Past part 7

Hey, everyone! I know! It's been extremely long, but with school starting, again, I couldn't get myself to start writing! Anyway, thanks for all the reviews! They really got me pumped up to write, again! So, here you go! Part 7! Enjoy!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Mai P.O.V.

After that, I woke up crying. I just couldn't stop. I knew who the ghost was, now, and it broke my heart. I just couldn't believe... I didn't want to believe that the ghost was... "Mai,Mai!" "Naru?!" "Are you okay?" Was it just me, or did he look concerned? Nooo, this is Naru were talking about! No way he could be concerned. "Yeah, I'm fine." "Here." He passed me a cup of tea. "Uh? Thank you." I sipped of my tea, and immediately felt better. Naru's tea is so good! "What about the ghost! Did she appear?" "She did, but she stayed in the living room." "Ah..." After that, the room was filled with silence. Nobody said a word. We both kept quiet. After a moment, I started thinking about the dream. I didn't want it to be true, but there was no denying it. The ghost just had to be her. Before I knew it, I started crying, again. And this time, the tears didn't stop.

Naru P.O.V.

Mai started crying again. I didn't really know what to do. There was no rational way of fixing this! In the end, I decided to just let it be. So I gave up, and sat down next to her. I picked my notebook up from the table, and was ready to ask her about her dream, when suddenly... "Mai! Are you okay?! You just had that dream, didn't you!"... Gene came into the room, and ran up to Mai, giving her a big hug (which was annoying me to no end, by the way). All while making a dramatic scene. "Gene, give Mai some space, would you?" "Why? It's not my fault you didn't comfort her, and what are you doing with that notebook? You weren't about interrogate her about her dream, were you? When she is crying like this? You are truly horrible!" "I don't need you scolding me, and keep it quiet! You'll wake everyone up!" "What is all the ruckus about! It's 2 a.m.!" 'Great, Ayako with a bad temper. Thanks a lot, Gene!' 'You're welcome.~' We continued our little argument, until we heard Mai burst out laughing. "Hahahahaha! You should see your faces! They're hilarious!" "Mai. I take it you're feeling better, then?", I asked. "Wait? Feeling better? You mean, she had a dream?!  Oh, Mai! Why didn't you call good old Monk to help you feel better?", Monk screamed. "Yeah, like she would want such an old geezer like you to comfort her!" Typical Ayako, stating her opinion loud enough, for everyone to hear, even if it is 2 a.m. at night! "Enough of that! Are you feeling better now, Mai?" "Yeah, I am. Thanks, Masako". "That's great to hear!", said John. I guess, everyone joined the party, now. 'Gene, why don't you go make some tea?' 'What? Why me?' 'Because I asked you to. Now, go.'

Gene P.O.V.

Sighing, I gave up. I shot one last glare at Naru, only to see him smirking, and went to the kitchen.
When I came back, I gave everyone a cup, and sat down, holding my own. I don't know why, but the air suddenly got heavy. Nobody dared to make a sound. That was until Naru broke the silence.
"Mai, who's the ghost?" Everyone was silently awaiting the answer. Not wanting to push Mai, but still wanting to know. After a moment, she finally said it. "It's my mom."
