" Good morning ! " Mai said as she rushed into the office . Today she was not late . The reason was simple - Today is Marie's birthday! Mai excited , didn't notice her boss and Lin come out of their dens. " Oh! Today will be te best for her! I will make it for sure!" She squealed. " Mai. What's with the ruckus? Where are Marie and Maiko?" Mai froze as she turned to face her Boss. " They have work... Maiko has to complete her exam, while Marie went to attend a emergency meeting. "
"Hello , Jou-chan! " Bou-san said , he was followed by the others . "What's the excitement Mai?" Madoka asked. Gene too looked at Mai questioningly. " Well, It's Marie's birthday today, so I thought that we could surprise her when she came into the office... but it may be a no." Mai said softly as she looked at Naru with pleading eyes. "*sigh* Fine. But don't make it too noisy." Everyone stared at their President. " Mai, Tea." He said as he disappeared into his den. Lin looked at the shocked members and stated, "He owes her some.. that's why." They all look at him. " We also have a client coming at 4. So party has to stop at 3: 45, okay?" Not waiting for an answer , Lin went in his office.

It was around two when Marie went to pick up Maiko. " Well, let's get in now." Maiko said.
" Happy Birthday Marie!" Said girl was tackled into hugs by the SPR members. Shocked was an understatement. "Wait, you guys actually did this?!" Marie asked. " What else?" Mai answered. " Hear, some cake," Lin said as he fed Marie a bit of the strawberry flavoured cake. Marie blushed at the remark from Ayako. They actually partied till 3:45, even Naru joined for a moment. "Well, It's time to wrap up." Lin announced . The group looked at him with pleading eyes , " It's alright , I am so happy thanks to you guys!" Marie said. On hearing that the group started cleaning up.

" Excuse me , but is this the SPR office?" an old woman asked. "Yes! You are at the right place. I am Mai Taniyama . Please take a seat. " Maiko went and called Naru and the others as Mai went to make tea.
" Miss Suzuki, I believe that we spoke over phone." The old woman nodded. " Your case is quite intriguing , but I still believe that it is risky.. could you give us a detailed description of the haunting? " Naru asked, politely. " Yes, we have been facing a few problems , most of the high-scale one leading to exchange in spirits . Um.. like if I am here, and you are in front of me some unknown spirit changes us, like my soul is in you , while your soul in me.. " said Suzuki. Naru assumed his thinking pose, " We accept your case. I believe that you already know our requirements and according to you we need to follow the dress code you have given. " Maiko took lead and thanked her client for coming here. " All of you ar coming there now." the group looked at Naru with shock on their face. " What do you mean ? " But Naru had left.

" I hate long drives. My back hurts!" Bou-san groaned. " You are an old man.. idiot . " Ayako mumbled.
" Ah! You must be the ones Suzuki called. I am Mina , I'll take you to your rooms. Please change into the clothes given." another old woman , but with pale greying hair said. Naru nodded and the team followed him.
Back at the base , the boys were already there. "Thx for helping me out with this Mai , Masako. " " it's been years since I wore a kimono." Marie giggled and took a seat.
" The case is quite intriguing , the spirit has a tendency to change the personality of two people. So be on alert." Gene said. " Yup" said everyone. "But how does the Spirit do it ? "Mai asked. " That's what we need to find out . " Naru stated.
This is sort of a prologue to the story. The case will start from the next chapter. The Chapters will be small. Until then , Bye!
