Not much to say, just enjoy!

Chapter 14 (LAST CHAPTER!)

Crink! The bell dropped at the floor as the ceremony finished. Cries of happiness filled the house. Luella bustled into the room and hugged Martin.

"Martin, is it really you? You're really here, aren't you?" Luella cried. "I'm not dreaming?"

Martin hugged her back and patted her back. "I'm glad you're alright, Lu darling." Naru and Gene joined them. After they broke apart, the SPR came one by one to her.

John felt someone tugging his exorcist robe. He looked down to find that miniature of Naru had grabbed a fist full of his robe, and was clutching to it desperately. John knelt down and stroked the boy's hair gently. "Is there something make you afraid?" John asked gently.

That boy hugged John's neck. "Lu... Mrs. Davis hates me..." He said. "She's scary."

John was confused. He knew that Luella was a kind woman but...

Luella finally spotted him who was clinging to John. "Why did you take IT here?" Luella said half shouted.

"Lu! He's not a thing!" Martin scolded.

Luella pulled Gene. "Gene is here! He's alive! You don't have to get a replacement for him! HE'S RIGHT HERE! That boy isn't Gene and he wouldn't be Gene!" Luella shouted back.

"He's not a replacement! He's is he, himself! He is not anyone but himself! How many times do I have to tell you?

"Wait, what's exactly happened here?" Madoka asked in frustration.

"Martin's using that boy as a replacement for Gene!" Luella pointed at the boy, whom John had just picked up. The boy grasped John tighter.

"For Pete's sake, Lu! How many times I should tell you that I'm not!!!" Martin shouted.

Naru and Gene were confused and worried. They had never seen their parents fighting like this.

Yousuke stepped between the quarreling couple. "You two shouldn't shout at each other like that. Your kids are watching."

Luella and Martin looked at him, ashamed. They had forgotten about their audience.

"Lu, I'm really not taking him as Gene's replacement." Martin said calmly, although there was still a slight edge of frustration in his voice.

"Then why did you hide him from me!?" Luella still shouted back.

"Because OF THIS!" Martin punched the wall unconsciously. A loud 'bang' was heard throughout the room.

"Grandpa!" That boy jumped down from John's arms and looked at Martin's hand. "It's bleeding! It's bleeding! You shouldn't hurt yourself! You're almost fifty! You should look after yourself more!" The little boy scolded, while tracking down a first aid kit. He began to tend to the wound, as Martin laughed uncomfortably.

"Actually I like that boy. I don't mind if our house had another member." Gene said.

Naru sighed. "Mother, I think father is right. You should hear all what father wants to say." Naru said.

"And," Gene added, "I don't mind having another little brother."

Naru nodded in agreement before he realized the other meaning of that word. "I'm not your little brother." He glared at Gene.

"You just admited it, Noll!" Gene laughed. Naru blushed a bit, but turned in a vain attempt to hide it. "Aw, little brother is really cute." Gene teased.

"I can kill you anytime you want, BIG BROTHER!" Naru replied with a very calm face but a venomous aura.

Gene sweat dropped. "Peace, brother..."

After that boy tended Martin, they took a seat. Luella glared at the boy when began to sit on Martin's lap, so he decided to sit between John and Mai.

Martin took a deep breath but he remembered that he hadn't introduced that boy to them. "Before I start, that boy's name is Riel Dav..."

"He is not a DAVIS!" Luella cut off before Martin finished.

"Lu, don't even start! You said you would hear me out!!"

Luella folded her hand stubbornly. "He looks just like Gene and Noll! You reasoned that you were only doing research with his power but you acted like he was your own child!" Luella reasoned.

Martin shouted, frustrated. "LU! He is not a thing! It's true that I'm researching his power, but he is also a human being! I have used him so why can't I care him like my own child!? He is just a seven years old boy!" Martin looked at Riel sadly.

"So what! Gene and Noll are more than enough! They have the psychic power which we were interested!"

"AND we treat them as our child. You must know the feeling. He is the same as our twin sons. He is not a thing. He has feelings, he can cry, he can laugh and he also can be hurt!"

"But Gene is here! He is alive!"

"I knew it before I took this child!" Martin shouted. The others were surprised. "I knew it before I took Riel with me. Riel is not Gene's replacement."

"Bu-but... You... How could you..." Luella was speechless. She didn't know what to say.

Naru decided to ask since Martin didn't continue. "What do you mean, father?" Naru asked.

Martin took a deep breath. "I knew he's alive. I'm sorry not to tell you, Noll. I'm sorry to use you for my search for him. I'm a terrible father..."

"NO! You aren't a bad father!" Riel ran to Martin and hugged him. Martin smiled and hugged him. "You're the best! The best grandpa I 've ever seen." Riel was crying.

"Don't be such a crybaby, Riel..."

"But... But..."

Rei, unable to suppress his laughter, finally let out a chuckle. Mai looked to him furiously. "Rei, care to explain?" Mai asked.

"No, it's not my business at all. Right, Martin Davis?" Rei asked. "He should explain it to himself. Wouldn't it be better to hear from him?"

Martin scratched his back head. "Well... After you said that Gene has died, I was surprised. Of course, I thought that it was true. That time, I have accepted a book which Gene sent to me as his report. I immediately checked it and found about the spirit of nothing. (see the first story). I learned about the spell and the other way to go to his place. I did it but it didn't work. I thought to give up and receive my fate. But... one night, he appeared in my dream."

Flashback

I was confused when I saw a pond. The air was cold. There were some children there looking at me intently. Suddenly a white fire appeared on the middle of the pond. It looked as if it could engulf me, and ash would be all that was left. But, the air was still cold.

"Martin Davis, I presume?" A male voice asked.

I nodded hesitantly. "Are you..."

"I'm what you called the spirit of nothing. I know you've searched for me."

"I want to know about my child!" I said without any other words.

"He's both alive and dead." Since he didn't have any form, I couldn't tell whether he was lying or not.

"What do you mean? Is he dead or alive?"

"No, you would say he's in coma."

"Please! I will do anything but save my child!" I begged. "Where is he?"

"..." He was silence for a while which built a tension between us. "Very well..."

"Really?"

"But as a price..."

End of flashback.

"He told me to take care for that child for a while before Gene found. I kept it in secret at first because I knew Lu will misunderstand." Martin told them.

"So... you didn't..." Luella said.

Martin shook his head. "They're the one and the only sons we have, Lu darling..." Martin said.

"Honey..." Luella was touched.

The others looked at the contented couple happily. Until...

SMACK! Lu punched Martin's head. "Why don't you tell me sooner, dummy!" Luella said.

Speaking about déjà vu... "You are always cut me before I explain!" Martin reasoned.

Luella kissed him and blushed. "Stupid." She said.

The other laughed. Riel went to Rei. Suddenly, he was floating on the air so his eye level met Rei's. "So Riel, do you like living with the Davis family?" Rei asked.

"Um! Martin is nice but his wife is like a demon! A weird mixture, isn't it?" Riel honestly answered.

Martin stifled a laugh. "It's time to go back, Riel..." Rei hesitantly told him.

"I know it, Rei-nii. But please wait for a while, ne?" Riel floated down until his feet touched the floor. He tucked Martin's shirt. Martin knelt down. "Thank you for all things you have done for me." Riel gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Martin ruffled his hair. "I'm glad you are enjoying it." He said.

"I am a lot! Except for being glared at by that demon!"

Luella looked like want to kill someone. "Mother, calm down. He's a kid..." Gene said.

Luella pouted. "I know!" She pouted stubbornly.

"It's your fault in the first place for not wanting to hear father's explanation." Naru added.

Luella took a deep breath and knelt down in front them. "I'm sorry..." She whispered.

Martin and Riel exchanged their smirk. "I can't hear you." They said in unison.

"I'm SORRY!" Luella scowled.

Martin laughed and gave her a kiss. "Huh! Martin is right; Luella is pretty when she is smiling! Like an angel!" Riel claimed.

Luella blushed at the complement. Riel bowed at the two and went back to Rei. "I'm finished! Let's go back to the other kid! They're waiting for your story." He said.

"I already have much story to share! I saw some of them here. Do you send them here to..."

"We'll have more than enough time to ask and explaining in my place, Riel." Rei quickly answered.

"Uh..." Luella hesitated. "Can't you stay for a bit longer? I want to do something as an apology."

Riel smiled. "Your feelings are more than enough, grandma!" He said and disappeared.

"Good bye, Mai and all of you here. Oliver-kun, I leave her in your care." Yousuke said.

Mai hugged him for the last time before cried on Naru's chest. Yousuke closed his eyes before he fell down and his hair color changed into the usual color. Ryou went to his side to check on him. "He's right, I felt like I have climbed the mountain Fuji." Kazahaya chuckled weakly. Ryou smacked his head. "THAT'S HURT! Why did you do that!?"

'If he still can shout like that, that means he's alright...' Ryoutarou thought in relief. "To make certain that you are still have your brain with you." He excused his actions snidely. The others laughed.

After rest for one more day, they excused themselves from Sara and her household. They met her son and his wife when they loaded the equipment. Sara's son thanked them. They went back to their place. Luella and Martin stayed with Naru and Gene.

The next day at the SPR, Kazahaya came to meet Naru to talk privately. Naru noticed many things which Kazahaya hid from them, especially from Mai. Kazahaya agreed to share his secrets with Naru. Mai was still at college. Gene was with his parents, while the other member hadn't come yet.

"Yousuke-san sent a bit of his power into each of piece of art he made. He wanted to erase his psychic power. But he also poured his emotions into the art, which is why the pieces are so moving. Taniyama's family has a great psychic power for generations. Yousuke-san was a 'thing' because of that. He ran away from that lab and was taken by a craftsman, who taught him many things. Yousuke then realized that he could send his power to the artwork he made. He thought that it would vanish if he kept doing that. He also has so much fun when the artwork could talk with him." Kasahaya took a deep breath, and then continued.

"Then he met my aunt, Tsukiyomi Airi-san who also has the same power. She understood his pain and they married eventually without knowing that they would give an enormous power to the new-born. Yousuke-san was killed when he tried to hide Airi-san and Mai. He became bait to drive the 'Psychic Specialists,' or what you called as those scientists, away from his family but he didn't know that his car was modified. After that, he got into the crash."

"That's why Mai..." Naru said.

"She is blaming herself. I can't really do anything..." He sighed. "Honestly I don't know about this but... I heard about those scientists died not long after Yousuke-san. It was said that they died in a very gruesome way."

"How did you know all of this?"

Kazahaya looked at the window behind Naru. "I researched about it when I wanted to find Airi-san. But most of it came from his memory when he possessed me. He came to me one night and asked to use my body as an exchange. For a price of course… I accepted happily."

Naru wanted to ask about the said price but Kazahaya seemed reluctant to say anything about that.

Kazahaya touched something in his pocket. "Oh, the other reason why I came here is this!" He took out an envelope. "I came to give you and the all SPR team this invitation." Kazahaya gave an invitation to Naru. "Be careful, this is a formal party, and you know, many high class people come with their son or daughter to betroth them. And Tsukiyomi is one of the targeted candidates." He grinned. "And I have a trouble to make sure my BEAUTIFUL SISTERS would be alright..."

Naru groaned. He definitely had to go! Owh man, it was a formal party…

Rei's pov

Airi found me by Yousuke's note on a small silver flame's art which he made after he met me. He just came and sat silently while doing something. Once a time, he would leave one of his artwork as if giving me a gift.

I sighed when I found another of his artwork. The children liked his art, so they took it.

I came to him one day. I asked him what did he do and why he left his artwork. He just laughed and said that finally I came out. He wanted to meet me, for I was in a book of his ancestor. He wanted to be my friend. I didn't answer him but I let him to do whatever he wanted.

Sometimes he got bored wouldn't stop bothering me. I told him some legends or fairytales in a hope that he would find inspiration and stop bugging me.

When I found out that Yousuke had died, I felt a great pain. I didn't know why but I was so upset. I, who I thought heartlessly, felt a pain... Great, very great... I felt more pain when Airi died. I felt as if I had died like them. But she mended it up, Taniyama Mai...

"How ironic, for thousands of years I felt like the living dead, and now I am an egoistical spirit who doesn't allow anyone do anything I dislike to someone I love. I really am like a human now." I said.

I laughed. "Taniyama... I really can't defeat any of them... Not the father, nor the mother, or even their daughter. I wonder what will happen next with the next generation of Taniya-, no, Davis, maybe?" The children surround me with soft smiles and laughter.

Riel came with some of the other children with a lot of cakes and a sakura tree. "Let's celebrate the upcoming spring, Rei-nii!" Riel shouted. The children jumped happily and pulled me with them.

"Hey..." I said and smiled. "It is still winter."

"It's alright; this place isn't affected by outside weather."

I gave up at their persistance. I swung my hand and the entire tree changed into a sakura tree.

The children in here were the children of the past, the children of the present and the children of the future. And Riel was a child of the future...

Mai's pov

I heard some sounds outside my bedroom. (The Tsukiyomi's house). I opened the door sleepily and found Naru in santa outfit with a vein appeared on his forehead. Wow, he was really angry. I closed the door and went back to my bed. Naru in santa outfit...

Wait, Naru in santa outfit!? I ran to open the door again and my jaw dropped. For real!?

"Mai, if you don't close your mouth, I'll shut it for you." He scowled.

I immediately closed my mouth. "What are you doing?" I giggled.

"Cute, isn't it!" Luella appeared behind Naru. "I choose this especially for them!" Gene also smiled sheepishly in his own matching outfit. So this was the present that was given to Naru that time. I got a big santa's deer doll, and I liked that.

"So cute!" I squealed at him.

Naru looked at me and replied me with a smirk. "Your outfit is also cute." He said.

I blushed when I remembered that I was only using a tank top and short. Naru closed the door behind him and locked it.

"Hey, Noll!" Luella protested but he ignored her.

"Na-na-na-naru..." I said nervously when he came closer. I desperately searched something to cover my body but I couldn't found anything. I ran to my bed and pulled the blanket.

He chuckled. "In all place, you choose on the bed?" He smirked.

"Per-Pervert!" I shouted and threw a pillow to him. He caught it and threw something to me. It was a beautiful baby blue dress.

"I want to be the first one who is looks you in that dress." Naru said.

I giggled and went to the bathroom. I took a shower for a while and changed into the dress that he gave me. It suited me well. I blushed at the thought that Naru knew my size.

I came out slowly. "How is it?" I asked. He eyed me for a while and pulled me to his lap. I squeaked. "Naru!"

"You're gorgeous, Mai." Naru said and kissed me. I thought that I was going to pass out.

Original's pov

Naru and Mai came down. Luella was pouting because Naru and Gene had prepared another outfit for the party. (Hey, it is a formal party not a cosplay). Many people in high position came to the party. Kazahaya, Ryoutarou, Nekane and Nekano managed the party and talked to the people. Mai wanted to help them since she ever worked in Tsukiyomi Corporation but Kazahaya told her to have fun with the others.

"Oh my, what a beautiful sister you have, Kazahaya-san." One of the directress said.

Kazahaya smiled to them and they blushed. "Indeed." Kazahaya answered formally.

"I wonder if I can introduce my son to her." Another offered. "Maybe they can, you know…" They smiled in a businesslike way.

"It would be great but she already has her boyfriend." Kazahaya smiled. 'Glad that you came, Naru-chan.' He thought playfully.

"Oh, where is he?"

Kazahaya pointed at Naru who were beside Mai. Naru caught that look and wrapped his hand to Mai's waist and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Mai's face was become a bit red. "Naru..." Mai whispered. "There are a lot of people here."

Naru gave a charming smile which almost made every female who looked at it passed away. "No problem. They should learn that you're mine and mine only." Naru said.

"Possessive, aren't you?" Mai giggled and gave him a peck on his cheek.

"They are cute, aren't they?" Kazahaya said. "I wonder when I'll be an uncle."

The directors were disappointed a bit but they smiled back to Kazahaya. "You are also a great person, how about if I introduced you with my daughter?" they asked.

'Persistent...' Kazahaya thought. "It would be an honor." He answered. "Well, I hope you enjoy the party." He bowed and left them.

He looked around and found Ryoutarou in the middle of the directors who also took their daughters. Ryoutarou shot him a help look since so many girls ogling after him. Kazahaya chuckled. 'I thought I should use her...' He thought.

A girl came to Kazahaya. She was wearing a beautiful light green dress. "Should I go there, Kazahaya-sama?" She asked.

Kazahaya nodded. "Don't forget, you are Narusawa Yukari, a secretary of Tsukiyomi." He reminded. (Narusawa Yukari is the maid in the first story.)

Yukari bowed and went to Ryoutarou. She held Ryoutarou's hand and smiled at the guests whose daughters were glaring at her. Yukari smiled innocently at them.

Kazahaya patrolled again. Lin came in with Madoka. They either looked like a couple or were a couple. He wasn't quite sure. He almost fell down to the floor when he saw that Rei came with Riel.

"What are you doing here!?" Kazahaya asked in a whisper.

"Attend the party, of course. What else? Watching a circus?" Rei answered sarcastically.

"Uh, not that I mind..."

"Rei-Nii, I'm going to Martin again. Call me when you want to go home!" Riel waved and went into the crowd.

Kazahaya looked at the child and smiled knowingly. "You know about the children on the pond." Rei stated.

"Ryou told me." Kazahaya answered. "How were they?"

"Yousuke and Airi? They have united and crossed to the other universe together. How are you?"

"Not so good... Since that day, I can see many things. It is bad for my heart."

Rei chuckled. "But you get what you want."

Kazahaya shrugged. "Many people would use curse or something like that. I can depend on Ryou all the time. I still have three sisters to be protected."

Kazahaya and Rei took a glass of wine from the waiter. "Cheers." They said and drank the wine.

The soft tune was heard. Many of them were dancing in the middle of the room.

Naru offered his hand. "Can I have an honor to dance with you, mademoiselle?" He asked.

"Since when you are being romantic, Oliver Davis?" Mai laughed and received his hand. "Love you, Naru."

"I love you too, Mai."

For the world, you are someone, but for the special someone, you are his/her world. You're not perfect, yet in their eyes, you're FLAWLESS.

When you met someone like that, keep them close.

No one predicted what would happen. No one expects what has to be faced. No one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Yesterday was history, today is a rally, and tomorrow is a mystery.

Little talk and final talk in this story

Kazahaya chuckled when Ryoutarou showed my mark report. "I'll kill you, Ryou!" I shouted in embarrasment.

"I remembered Mai's mark when I saw this. Well, Mai is worser." Kazahaya said. "You only failed one while Mai failed..."

"Nii-san!" Mai slammed the tea cup to the table. "If you continue, I can pour the tea on your head." She threatened.

"Er... Nekane is worser when she was juni..."

"Kazahaya, are you sure to open my past?" Nekane who specially visited today asked with a smile.

"Well... Uh, Nekano is worser when she was..."

"Are you tired of live, Tsukiyomi Kazahaya?" Nekano asked.

Kazahaya immediately shutted his mouth. Ryoutarou still lectured me about that.

Omake

Kazahaya's pov

"What are you doing here?" I asked to the two.

"Attend the circus of course! What else? Attend the party?" Rei asked.

"Er... It's a party not a circus..."

"With a lot of people who used a mask?"

I sweat dropped. "It is a masquerade..." I said.

"Oh..."

"And why you used THAT outfit?"

"I thought it was a circus."

"IT IS MORE FIT FOR THE HALOWEEN INSTEAD A CIRCUS! AND THAT BLOOD IS LOOKED REAL!"

"It is real."

End of Omake

"Hey Gene, what are you doing here?" I asked him when I found him in the corner of the kitchen.

"Telephaty is very troublesome, you know." He answered.

"Like to use it for cheating in your brother's head?"

"I like to peek but I dislike to be told what he thought in his mind which I don't want to hear."

"You can block it if you want."

"His emotion is strong!"

"Oh my, he sure can control himself outside..." I glanced at Naru's door.

"But not inside..."

Many thanks to the reviewers but I don't have much time to reply. I just hope you like it. Honestly I got a lot of inspiration and motivation from your reviews.

Also thanks to the readers who had read my story.

See you next story! (Gee, should I make another ghost hunt or another anime/manga?)
