Hiya! Here's a Ghost Hunt FanFic for ya!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Hunt or anything... but If I did I'd try and make another season for the anime. ^_^

Chapter 1

The forest was very dark, even during the day. The lake was a murky teal, and no one knew how deep it went. On the North side of the lake was a set of 4 cabins and a large mess hall. Each of the cabins had enough room for 10 people. The doors had a set of three locks and a deadbolt. The windows had steel bars on the outside. It was regulation that the lights in each cabin were out by 10, but no one left them one past 8. If you had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, too bad; the doors were locked and the key hidden by the cabin leader.

This was Camp Hollow. A camp for teens to come out and have an outdoor adventure. The camp was established in 1978, and the disappearances started in 1998. For fourteen years, teenage girls would disappear and no matter what, they wouldn't stop. The camp was in danger of closing down, its owners desperate to save it, went to the renowned SPR. Stories had reached them, and they were desperate. They knew it would not come cheap, and they were willing to pay any price to make their camp safe again.

Mai sat at the front desk, sighing. She stretched out her tight limbs and cracked her knuckles. She had been sitting at that table for too long, typing meaningless essays about previous cases. Naru and Lin were both in their respective offices, doing whatever it was they did.

Mai stood when the front door opened, revealing an older couple. She bowed to them and motioned for them to sit down.

"Would you like some tea while you wait for Naru?" She complied with their nods, noting how they seemed slightly nervous. They looked over the whole room, taking in every little detail.

"Naru, we've got some clients. And I'm making some tea." She didn't need to ask if he wanted some; she already knew he did. Her relationship with Naru had been strained upon his return to Japan. She had confessed to him right before he left for two years, resulting in his doubts that she was actually in love with him, and not his brother, Gene. For the first few months, they didn't really speak to each other, and then the got more and more comfortable around each other. She had been a little surprised when he had asked if she dreamt of Gene, and he looked a little saddened that she hadn't.

Mai walked over to Lin's office and knocked, telling him to come out. He opened the door and took a seat on the couch, awaiting Naru's appearance in the room. Her relationship with Lin had been friendly, and they spoke sometimes, but not very often. He still seemed to have a bit of animosity towards her, but she knew that he couldn't help it...

"Mai!" She jumped at the sound of Naru's voice. Picking up a tray with teacups on it, she walking into the room and placed it on the table. Taking a seat next to Lin, she listened to the couple's story. Realizing it sounded familiar, she perked up.

"We own a summer camp called Camp Hollow, and for the past fourteen years at least one teenage girl has gone missing. We've got locks and bolts on the doors, and bars on the windows. The children are never allowed out without an adult, and have strict curfews. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the disappearances. We've been getting fewer and fewer campers, and now our business is at stake. Will you help us?"

A few of Mai's friends were supposed to go to that camp, until their parents heard the stories... Mai's curiosity was needed to be satisfied, and she knew that Naru wouldn't want to take the case at first... It was just standard Naru.

"You should go the Police. So far I haven't heard anything that even resembles a paranormal entity." He nonchalantly gazed at them, waiting for them to make it worth his while.

"The girls would complain of hearing voices... but whenever they did, everyone else would dismiss it as someone trying to get attention. And each girl that would complain about the voices would disappear. We searched the forest, and found nothing..."

Mai hoped that was enough for Naru to take up the case. She hadn't officially heard the stories from previous campers, and now she was absolutely curious. She looked to Naru who was obviously thinking, and made sure no emotion showed. She sighed and waited.

"Very well. But there are some requirements on your part that I will have to discuss with you. I'm going to need the entire camp vacated, aside from my crew and myself. We will stay in the cabins, and will require food. Do you agree to the terms?"

The old couple nodded eagerly, and thanked him. Naru stood and walked into his office, closing it shut. Mai stood and looked at the couple. "I can talk about the price with you, now." She stood and walked behind the desk, preparing her easily memorized pattern.

Mai stood at the entrance to the camp, gazing around the area. The lake was still and the forest eerily quiet. She already had a very bad feeling, but pushed herself forward anyway. The whole group, which included Mai, Naru, Lin, Takigawa, Ayako, John, and Masako, were staying in the cabins. Yasuhara was in the middle of exams, so he couldn't make it. The cabins each housed 10 people, but with the equipment, they would be split into two groups. Three in one cabin, and four in another cabin.

It took an hour to set up all the equipment, and that was only in the cabins. There were yet to be any cameras set up in the forest, outside of the cabins, and by the lake.

"Mai, you and Mr. Takigawa go set up the cameras by the lake, in the forest, and outside of your cabin. Ms. Matsuzaki and Mr. Brown will set up the cameras outside this cabin, and by the entrance to the camp. Come back here when you're finished." He didn't look up from his computer, looking up previous disappearances.

"Let's go Mai!" Takigawa slung his arm around her shoulders and hauled her out of the cabin, cameras in tow. The set up the camera by their cabin first, and then went to the lake. Once the finished, they walked a ways into the forest, placing cameras along the trail.

"This place is scary... It's the middle of the day and yet it's almost as dark as night in here. Mai placed the tripod in place and locked the legs. Takigawa placed the camera on the tripod, screwing it into place.

"Yea, it is pretty dark, but no worries! If we get bored there's a lake we can all go swim in!" Mai smiled and shook her head. She would never swim in that lake. Who knew what was in it. She shuddered, banishing the thought from her mind. She froze when she heard a loud snap. Looking towards Takigawa, she prayed that it was him who made the snap. He looked around suspiciously, not easing her at all. She listened for more noises, and then heard faint thumping. The longer they listened to it, the louder it got. Takigawa and Mai ran as fast as they could towards the cabin, and slammed the door shut upon their entry.

Mai's eyes were closed shut, her breathing ragged, and her body shaking. She couldn't shake the feeling of utter terror. She sank to the floor bringing her knees to her chest. She felt that she was still shaking, and barely noticed the loud voices of Takigawa and the rest of SPR. She started shaking her head and kept her eyes tightly closed. She covered her ears, trying to get rid of the memory. When she felt her personal bubble was being violated she opened her eyes to see Ayako with a concerned look.

"She's terrified. And yet you guys didn't see anything... Mai? Mai, come on, let's get up and get you some tea." Ayako put her arm around Mai's shoulders and supported her as she stood, still shaking.

"Are you sure she didn't see anything?" Naru gave a pointed look at Mai, awaiting a response from her. When nothing came, he furrowed his brow slightly.

Mai drank the tea greedily, downing it in less than a minute. She savored the flavor, and knew she would regret drinking the scalding tea so fast later.

"There was something out there. And it wasn't just one... There were many of them." Mai confessed to no one in particular. She didn't see anything, but the sound of thumping reminded her of a herd of four legged animals, running very fast.

"It could have been a herd of deer. We can rewind the camera, and see if there was anything caught." Naru looked over to the computer and started to type very quickly.

"Here. This is when you and Mr. Takigawa started to run." He played the video, the thumping started to get louder and louder. Then, a flash of white went over the camera, too fast to get a correct image. Mai stood towards the front of the overly curious group, shaking her head slowly. She couldn't relive the sounds, and now there was something on the camera. Naru slowed the scene down, watching carefully as the white came up again. When he froze the screen, the entire cabin was silent.

Mai shook her head, not believing what she saw. On the screen, was a large, white creature, its limbs abnormally long and thin, it's body thin, spine sticking up far above the rest of it. Its face was long and pointed, it's nose a black dot. It's eyes were empty orbs of black, practically ready to fall out. Drool dripped from its enormous teeth.

If there was a way for it to have an expression, the expression would be ecstatic; it looked excited. Other white smudges could be seen in the background. Mai's heart was beating very fast, unable to comprehend exactly what that was.

"Well, looks like we've found our culprit..." John pointed out innocently. Everyone nodded along, except for Naru, who was deep in thought.

"And we know who their target it..." He turned to look at Mai, a pitied but determined look in his eyes. Mai knew deep down that was the case, but she couldn't bring herself to look at the others. She just stared at the creature, unsure of what the group would do next.

There's Chapter 1! I don' know when I'll be updating, hopefully every Monday or Tuesday. Unfortunately school is starting next Monday, so I'll be a crazy updater... plus I've got another story going on and... yea. Life's crazy. R & R!
