Normal P.O.V
"Mai?" a girl asked, Mais' eyes snapped open.
"Kiiroibara?" Mai asked, said girl glomped Mai.
"Mai?" the team asked her'
'Oh boy' Mai thought turning and scratched the back of her head nervously.
Mai looked at Kiiroibara, or Kii as she liked to be called. The girl had grown taller from when she last saw her. She still had the same hair; she wore a red top with blue jeans, one of her hands still in the pockets, the other still half way out to meet Mais' hand. Her green eyes gleamed at Mai with happiness. She still had the same black cap on as usual.
"Kii, it's been….." Mai trailed off.
"Too long," Kii finished and glomped the younger brunette.
"You have no idea," Mai said, Kii let go of her and walked forwards to the SPR group.
"So what paranormal phenomenon have you experienced?" Naru asked pulling Mai into his lap and resting his chin on her neck, Kii raised a brow.
"Smart remark comes out of your mouth, and I'll hit ya," Mai warned, Kii held her hands up in defence.
"Well my mom recently moved us into the Shi mansion," Kii said, Mai stared at her wide eyed.
"And you didn't stop her because?" Mai asked, Kii smiled and scratched her head nervously.
"Because we thought the legends were just legends," Kii said, Mai sighed and shook her head.
"Lesson number one Kii, it's always real," Mai said, Kii sighed.
"You're telling me. Either way we can hear singing in the middle of the night, it'll sound like it's coming from the walls. My mom was in the kitchen by herself, when the freshly boiled kettle threw itself at her. My father's been pushed down the stairs a number of times. My bed will suddenly move. I'll see this figure almost all the time but I just shake it off, I mean with the things I've seen I normally think it's nothing," Kii trailed off, Mai narrowed her eyes.
"What else?" she asked, Kii sighed.
"The bathtub will suddenly fill up, but it fills up with blood, even when you're in the bath, it'll become red like blood. In the morning I sometimes wake up and there's a hand print of blood on my bed sheets. I've gone downstairs in the middle of the night for a drink, the kitchen cupboards will be open, all the china will be out as will the rest of the dishes, food would be scattered. When I'm finished putting them back, I'd get my water but the TV would turn on. I'd go in a turn it off and there'd be a figure behind me, but when I'd turn around there'd be nothing there," Kii said, Mai giggled a little.
"Sounds like Grudge," Kiis' eyes went wide.
"Don't you DARE put THAT in MY head!" she almost yelled at her, Mai laughed and waved her hand.
"Ok, ok sorry, what else?" Mai asked, Kii sighed and carried on.
"The temperature in certain rooms would drop; it got below freezing at one point-,"
"Which room was this in?" Naru asked, Kii thought for a minute.
"I think it was a music room, I'm not sure, I was just putting some boxes in it and well it just dropped, my hands turned a little blue, my mom thought I had them in the freezer," Kii chuckled a little. "My mom thinks that there's nothing there but I think different, that's why I came here, I just didn't expect to run into you Mai, or Nashi, which do you go by?" Kii asked, Mai sweat dropped.
"Taniyama Mai," Mai said, Kii nodded, "I'm only Nashi when my hair changes," she added, Kii nodded again.
"We'll take the case," Naru said, "We'll be there in two days, have a room set up for our equipment and two rooms for us to sleep in," Naru said, Kii looked at him.
"So four in total," Mai said, Kii nodded.
"No Mai three," Naru said to his girlfriend, Mai sighed and shook her head.
"You really have never heard of the Shi mansion before have you?" Mai asked, the team shook their heads.
Each room holds two people in it, so you're going to have to pair up with people, but I can prepare an extra for the man there," Kii said looking at Lin, who gave her a soft smile, Kii blushed and looked away, Mai covered her mouth to stop from laughing.
"No, no I still have my theory that Lin's a vampire," she said, Kii laughed at her friends' imagination, "I'm not joking," Mai said seriously, Kii stopped laughing and gulped at her.
2Well Matsuzaki-san and Monk will share a room," Naru stared.
"WHAT?" they yelled.
"I'm not sharing a room with the old hag," Monk said, Kii sweat dropped and back up a little after Ayako hit him.
"And I'm not sharing a room with the old man," Ayako said, Naru glared shutting the two up, Kii sunk back even further.
"Hara-san and John will share a room, John and Masako just smiled and nodded at Naru, "I'll share one with Mai," he finished, Mai blushed a little.
"No funny stuff," Kii said, the team nodded their heads while Mai went bright red, Naru glared at the girl, who remained unphased.
"Please I've dealt with Mais' glares, so yours, not that scary," Kii said, Mai glared at her, shutting the girl up and making her hide behind Lin.
"Sorry you're the tallest here, so she won't be able to see me," Kii said, Mai smirked.
"Sure that's the excuse," she said, Kii glared at her friend.
"Anyway Kii, this is Ayako, she's a shrine maiden," Mai introduced.
"Pleasure to meet you," Ayako said, Kii shook her hand and smiled.
"Think is Monk, he's a well monk," Mai smiled.
"Nice to meet you," he said shaking Kiis' hand, Kii smiled at him.
"This is John he's a priest," Mai said.
"Howdy," John said, Kii gave him a weird looked but smiled.
"He's Australian," Mai added, Kii nodded and smiled at him.
"This is Masako, the medium from TV," Mai said, Masako smiled at Kii and shook her hand.
"I thought you always wore a Kimono?" Kii asked her, Masako shook her head.
"I've grown out of that, I only use my Kimonos for séances," Masako told her, Kii nodded.
"This is Lin, he's an Omnioji," Mai said, Lin gave a rare smile and shook the girls hand.
"And this is my narcissistic tea loving boyfriend boss, Naru," Mai said, Naru gave her a playful glare and shook Kiis' hand.
"Or Kazuya Shibuya, which ever you prefer," Mai added on, Kii laughed at her.
"It's nice to meet, you all I'll see you in two days," Kii said, she hugged Mai one last time before walking out the door. She banged into her mother and father on the way out.
"Mom, dad?" Kii asked, "What's going on?" she asked once she saw her mother tear stained face, Mai walked up behind her.
"Mr and Mrs Kiyonako, is everything alright?" Mai asked then, she saw Mrs Kiyonako bleeding, "Please bring her in," Mai said, Mr Kiyonako nodded and brought her in.
"We were hoping you see you about a case actually," Mr Kiyonako said, Mai nodded.
"We know, we'll be there in two days," she said, Mr Kiyonako nodded as he watched Mai tend to the woman's wounds.
"Mai come here, I'll sort them," Ayako said just before Mais' eyes began to glow white.
"No worries I got it," she smiled, her hair taking on a tint of blue. Kii watched as Mai healed her mother's wounds; the woman looked up, her eyes widened at Mai.
"MAI!" she yelled hugging the girl, "It's been way too long," she said, Mai laughed and hugged the woman back.
After an hour or so of catching up and talking Mai decided it was time to go. She walked hand in hand with Naru as he walked to her the new apartment she bought, before the case when they found out about Mais' past.
"So you sure you're not hiding anything else from us?" Naru asked.
"Let's see, I'm a demon hunter and I'm a prostitute," Mai said in a scary serious tone, she looked at Naru, his face clear with shock, she giggled, "I'm joking, there's nothing else I'm hiding," she assured.
"How did you know about the mansion?" Naru asked her, Mai sighed and looked at the sky.
"When I was young, I was told a story all the time, about a family. These people were a family but were nothing alike, they had different personalities, one fell in love easily and got heart broken, the other didn't feel love at all, one was always happy, the other angry, they never got along. As you should know Shi means death, well the family weren't always called the Shi family, they used to be nice, kind and caring, but one night the father went on a rampage killing everyone in the house, at the time they were hosting a party. It's said that most people passed on while others stayed, the father being one of them. Legend says on a stormy night if you look at the mansion you can see the father murdering the guests," Mai said, she sighed and shook her head, "And it's true," she added, Naru stared at her shocked.
"How do you know?" he asked, the two had stopped in front of Mais' apartment before she told the story.
"I've seen it myself, lesson one Naru, it's always real," Mai told him, the clouds began to open up as Mai stepped inside. "Come on in, you can stay the night, that story always creeped me out anyway," Mai said, Naru nodded as he stepped inside. The two of them had dinner at the office so they went straight to bed. Naru laid with Mai in his arms, her head rested on his chest listening to his soft heartbeat.
"Ne Naru?" Mai asked, Naru looked down at her as she looked up.
"What is it?" he asked sleepily.
"You don't think I'll be targeted on this do you, I think I've had enough of it for about a week or so," Mai told him, Naru let out a soft chuckle.
"Even if you do, we'll help you get through it, now sleep, it's late," Naru said as he planted a soft kiss on her lips, Mai smiled and kissed him back, she then got comfy on Naru and drifted off into a calm relaxing sleep.
