Greetings, fellow Ghost Hunt fans! This is a new fanfiction of mine that I'm starting but I made sure to make a few chapters ahead of time.
Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own 'Ghost Hunt' in any way, shape or form. If I did, it would be continuing.

Heads up! This is set after the first manga series; Not the second one. Besides, the second isn't even near to ending. xD

Another note:

Emphasis
1st P.O.V of either Naru or Mai, depending on the situation.
"Other worldly beings like ghosts, etc."
"Normal talking."

Extended Summary: Gene is still alive but not exactly. Naru has a bad feeling once he steps on to Japan's soil. Mai has joined something utterly dangerous but she had no choice. She even cut everyone ties with her; willingly. Mai knew what she was getting herself into, but she never thought it would risk both hers and Naru's lives to that magnitude. There is a whole another world that they were not preview to, not only because they were the living, but because they were simply human. But now, Mai can see this new world. But at the cost of something far too valuable to be 'lost' forever.

PROLOGUE

Why did this have to happen?

Her whole body shivered. There, she was standing in the middle of a snow filled park late at night, with no one. Her mind scattered; unable to find rational conclusions to her unreasonable outburst. However, she agreed on one fact; something to substantiate her actions she did the past hour.

I had to run. I had no choice. It was too powerful.
No… 'He' was too powerful.

Her knees fell limp as she dropped to the ground. Cold sweat drops ran down her cheeks, dropping onto the snow; turning into tiny ice drops. She was beyond tired at this point. How far had she run? She shook her head, not wanting to dwell on the situation at hand. But she had to. She had to run, now, before they catch up to her.

"Oh. Look what we have here!" A low voice exclaimed. She froze. Oh no… Did they catch up to me? Did I leave a trail? No way… Oh god no, they couldn't have found me so easily.. This can't be happening! She shut her eyes tightly and pulled her leg forward, forcing her exhausted body to move; to run, to get her out of this godforsaken park.

"A human?" She could hear their hungry breaths behind her. Their raspy voices, sneering at her joyfully, made her skin yelp with fear. Get me out of here! I need to move, now. I can't become their dinner! She screamed mentally, fearing for her life.

She brought her other leg up and gathered the willpower to begin her steps back home—No, she couldn't go back there. She stopped dead in her tracks as the two dark figures loomed over her, gleaming with not so well hidden madness. Something caught her throat; fear, fear of dying. NO! YOU CAN DO THIS! She shook her head once again, her predators smiling at her antics. It was like watching a helpless puppy.

"We're demons, little lady."
"You can't run from us."

Her eyes opened widely. She could feel her energy surge through her. Her eyes burnt with the fury of hell; equally matched with her determination to escape. Her soul questioned every single decision she took ever since that fated night. Granted that, she doubted herself today. Doubted the one person that pulled her into this mess.

I need to do this. I signed up for this myself. I can't be a coward. She could feel her confidence seeping into her once frightful quick breaths. Her eye lids fell with her permission. She smiled, she knew this was going to work. She wasn't going to let those 'evil' things win. Not now, not ever.

Her predators frowned, noticing the radius of her aura increasing along with the intensity. They were not having a feast today like they suspected. It was time to flee, but could they? The tables turned; they were the ones fearing while the female was the one who was yet to be triumphant in this battle. She stood on her two feet, feeling strong. Her vision found the two demons. If her eyes would speak, they would be saying 'I win'. A smile crawled onto her face and her hand rose, her palm facing her new preys.

"Good night," Her voice itched with new found amusement. A small blue ball of glowing light shot from her palm and right between her two preys; they were trying to run but were incinerated by the strange blue light.

"Looks like the training was worth it."

The chestnut haired female threw head around, forcing her body to spin on her heels. Her astonished expression disported the intruder. He chuckled, his raven colored bangs falling over his eyes as he hunched over to regain control from his brief leaked out laugh. The female raised an eyebrow but soon withdrew herself and sighed.

"You didn't warn me about this," Her voice was hoarse from suddenly having to use her powers. The male looked back up at her. He sighed and straightened himself for the upcoming tedious conversation.

"I didn't because I felt you already understood the circumstances at hand when you accepted that."

Her eyes lit up with fiery anger, "It was supposed to be on a small scale… Why am I suddenly being swarmed by those things?!"

He rolled his eyes, "Mai, you knew better than to just ru-"

"I ran because they fucking swarmed me at the office, Gene! I demand an explanation!" She started to yell, her patience running thin.

The male, who was running out of options as to what exactly, happened and what he must do to calm the female down, sighed heavily. His eyes flung down on her grown up form; still petite nevertheless. He showed the same determination as his brother; no wonder they were mistaken so often.

The female ran a hand through her short hair. "It seems like whenever I'm around him, the demons amplify their numbers."

She could hear Gene click his tongue. Exactly like his brother. Gene showed signs of alarm and focus in his eyes. It never failed to surprise the brunette, no matter how many times he did it. It always impressed her.

"Basically, whenever you're around Noll…" He trailed off, allowing Mai to fill in the blanks for him.

"…The demons find me faster and better. Oh! And the others too." She smiled cheerfully at him.

But Eugene was not happy. His usual smile tugged downwards into a cautious frown. This wasn't supposed to happen. His eyes soon found Mai's as he sent her a wary look. Did they find out our plan? Are they onto us? He sighed and turned around; I have to go tell Shau about this.

"Uh, Gene? Is everything alright?" She asked, her voice turned sweet; worry laced with every word.

"…No. Mai, I need you to be more careful." His feet took a step. It was time to leave, even if the meeting was brief. He had to leave; he had some important sub missions to go through, just because of this.

Mai tilted her head to the right in confusion. "Okay…. Is that all?"

Eugene stopped dead in his tracks, "Protect Noll. That's your number one priority now."
