Paranormal Pyschiatrists

Kai Hiwatari observed the women who sat opposite from him at his desk. She had an old fashioned dress on and looked about ninety years old. Her hair was just a grey wisp but he could still see that in her younger years she would have been a head turner. He watched as she picked up his pen and signed her name on the contract that had been put out before her.

"Thank you, Ma'am." He said wearily as she handed him back the sheet of paper.

The young woman, who he assumed was her granddaughter, cleared her throat nervously. "Umm…When will be start the sessions?"

Kai flicked through his schedule. "Is Thurday, eleven okay for you?"

The young women frowned. "But that's two days away."

"It's the only time that's available on such short notice." He flicked back a couple of pages. "Unless…I can fit you in tomorrow, nine thirty, but if you're not there on time then you'll miss your appointment altogether."

"That's fine," the older woman rasped. "It's not like I have anything better to do anyway."

Kai nodded grimly and filled out another form and handed it to the young woman. "Give this to the receptionist and she'll make a note."

"Thank you, doctor." She shook his hand heartily.

He watched as the old women walked through the closed door. The young women looked around in confusion then back at Kai.

"She's already through."

She nodded and left quickly, trying to find her grandmother and take her home.

There was another knock on the door and a red headed man entered carrying a case file and slammed it on Kai's desk.

"Take a look at this one," Tala Ivanov said.

Kai leafed through it and nodded impressively. "When did you get this?"

"Just about two minutes ago. It was his wife that gave me it. Apparently he's been asking for help ever since he died." He held up a check. "And I'd say she's more than happy to oblige with this twenty grand check."

Kai smirked. "She must have pretty penny."

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say she killed him."

Kai looked at him in alarm.

"Relax. It was just a heart attack that finished him off. Although how he can have unfinished business with a heart attack is beyond me…" He said while leaving the room.

The crimson eyed boy raked a hand through his two-toned hair and looked at the clock. It was time for a break. He left his office and passed the reception, greeting the receptionist Garnet Granger. She was a pretty girl, nineteen-his own age- with the blackest hair he'd ever seen. She was always immaculately presented with her nails clean and manicured and her make up flawless. Today, she wore a medium length black skirt which hung onto her curves beautifully and a pink and white striped short mid sleeved shirt. He was more than happy for her to represent the firm.

The phone rang and she answered it. "Paranormal Psychiatrists. Your unfinished business is our business. Uhuh. I'll just transfer you." She hung up and smiled brightly as he walked past. "I'll be taking a break in a few minutes. Tyson's taking over."

Kai nodded and continued on. Tyson Granger was Garnet's first cousin. He was a great people person and between his friendliness and her looks they made a great team.

At that moment, Tyson appeared with a huge stack of files and plonked them on the reception desk. His blue hair had been ruffled from the effort.

"Tyson!" Garnet complained. "You can't just leave them there!"

"They need to be sorted out!"

Kai shook his head and continued on. They were generally always disagreeing with each other when their clients were gone so this was a usual practice. He passed several other offices and acknowledged greetings from his other employees. It was quite a small firm he ran with a staff consisting of about eight gifted teenagers: their gift being that they could see and communicate with the dead. It was Kai who had initially began Paranormal Psychiatrists with his inheritance from his parent's untimely death. He, along with his cousin Mariah Hiwatari and friends Tala Ivanov and Garnet Granger, had been its founders. Through contacts and advertising, they had gained more employees and recently more clients. The income they all received surprised most people but relatives of the dead were more than happy to shell out a couple of thousand dollars to help them move onto the next life.

Primarily, they solved the problems that were keeping them on the mortal plain- their 'unfinished business'- although these sometimes had some dangerous consequences. It wouldn't be the first time that Kai had found himself face to face with a murderer in his investigations. It certainly wouldn't be the last.

"Hey, Kai," Max Tate greeted him with a wave. "Why do you look so depressed?"

Kai looked at the blonde and noticed he'd combed his blonde hair and his work suit had been pressed more than usual.

"Hn," he replied.

"Miss Mariam's coming today," Mariah teased as she walked past, answering Kai's unasked question. She stuck out her tongue and Max playfully tugged her red, almost pink, hair which she had tied in a ponytail so it swung freely.

Mariah always seemed to know what Kai was thinking, even when he himself wasn't too sure. For cousins, they were really close. He considered her, Garnet and Tala as his family, since real one consists of either rocky relationships or members who had passed away. The latter was most common.

He opened the door to the tea room and entered, discovering that Ray and Kenny had already got there before him. Ray Kon sipped a cup of coffee and nodded to him to which Kai nodded back. Kenny was still busy on his laptop and hadn't even noticed his boss had come in. At least with these two he would get some peace on his break. He grabbed a mug from the overhead cupboards and poured himself some coffee, letting the burning liquid slip down his throat.

"You're more serious than usual," Ray observed.

Ray was a traditional china man who had been employed by Kai shortly after becoming an item with Mariah. He never cuts his ebony hair, not that Kai had seen anyway, and always had it tied back with a silk ribbon wrapped around it. Right now, he was staring at Kai with his amber eyes. They always reminded him of a cat's. He found it strange how he and Mariah seemed to share that quality.

"Hn."

Kenny stopped typing and noticed Kai standing there. He quickly readjusted his glasses on top of his short brown bangs and turned his laptop around to show Kai the screen.

"This is a house, not far from here, which has been reported to have major paranormal activity," He explained. "I got the e-mail this morning. They don't want to get a priest in for an exorcism just yet in case it's a family member."

"I'll send some one out tomorrow."

"I'll go," Ray offered. "I'm free tomorrow afternoon."

"Fine."

Garnet entered the room and flopped down on the couch next to Ray, almost making him spill his coffee.

"I'm beat," she said and grabbed a magazine. "I just had to cope with this guy who said he'd kill himself if we didn't help him right now."

"What did you do?" Asked Ray.

"I said, 'Hunny. You're dead. What good will that do?"

"Nice," Kai said. "So what happened then?"

"He made an appointment."

"Don't mess with Garnet," Ray joked.

"Damn right!" The girl replied, tossing her hair over her shoulder.

She busied herself in her magazine while Kenny began typing again. Kai sat quietly and finished off his coffee. He stood up and placed it in the sink so he could wash it later and left the room, mumbling a goodbye.

Ray shook his head. "It's getting worse."

"I know," Garnet replied. "He's so…withdrawn." She clasped her hands together. "I know! We should set him up with some one!"

Ray looked at her painfully. "Who exactly could we set him up with? The only people we ever meet are dead."

"We could set him up with a ghost..."

Ray and Kenny looked at each other.

"You are one strange girl, Garnet," said Kenny.

Kai suppressed a groan of frustration at the man sitting before him. He didn't want to know his life story when he was alive and he certainly didn't want to know it now.

"I'm sorry sir, but if we want to make any progress at all, we're going to have to stick to the subject," Kai said as pleasantly as possible. "Is there anything you didn't tell your wife before she died that maybe's keeping you here?"

The man looked at Kai and his transparent face turned a shade darker. Ghost blushing.

"Actually, I never told her that I love her," He stammered. "I could never find the words. I always wanted make it special but now…I just want hertoknow thatI love her and always will."

Kai turned to the crying woman next to him. "Mrs. Kyle? Sam says he loves you and he always will. He could never find a way special enough but now, he just wants you to know."

"I-I love you too," The widow said.

Kai watched as Sam smiled and began to shine.

"What's happening now?" Mrs. Kyle asked.

"He's crossing over."

The light shone brighter and brighter until it instantly disappeared, leaving no trace of the man behind.

"It's been successful. He's gone to his resting place."

Mrs. Kyle smiled. "In all the years we were married, he'd never once said that to me. Thank you, Doctor Hiwatari."

"Don't mention it," Kai said, forcing a smile.

He walked the women to the door and closed it firmly behind her. He sighed deeply and turned around to find himself face to face with a girl. A little yell escaped both of their lips. The girl looked terrified to be there and looked at him fearfully.

"My name is Hilary Tatibana and I need you help," She squeaked.

What do you think? Please review! I want toknow if I should continue.
