Chapter One

Mai sat at her desk tapping her pencil against the computer screen. The day seemed to be taking forever to end. Glaring at the clock on the wall, Mai decided was purposely ticking slower just to irritate her. I wish we had a case. There hasn't been anything for us to do in forever.

BAMM! John entered the office door and abruptly shut it pulling Mai from her internal monologue. "Good afternoon Mai. Is Naru here? I need to speak to him immediately."

" Hi John! I'll go get him." Said Mai as she led him to the sitting area. He looks like he hasn't slept in days. Walking down the hallway she thought about how serious this new case must be.

Mai tapped lightly on Naru's office door before quietly entering. Lately, Naru had been making an extra effort to avoid her and when they were forced to interact with each other he was ridiculously narcissistic. As Mai starred at the back of Naru's head, she thought. What's up with him anyway? It's not like I have the plague.

…it's not like I have the plague… This isn't funny Gene. Thought Naru. Putting her voice in my head is not helping me. I'm trying to get her out of my head so quit putting her there!"What do you want Mai? I'm working."

"John's here. It's about a case and it seems important."

" I'll be right out. Mai… tea." If she won't leave me alone and Gene won't stop putting her in my head then I'll just have to irritate her as much as possible. Let's see how quickly she reacts today.

"Please…?" Said Mai, hoping Naru would use the manners she knew he possessed.

Glaring at her, Naru replied."Please? Please what? What do you want? Do you not know how to use complete sentences Mai?"

"I want you to use your manners you jerk!" She knew she couldn't do much to irritate him, but she could do one thing….. "NNNNNN!" Who knew sticking my tongue out at someone could be so satisfying?

"Idiot." Why does she have to be so CUTE all the time.

…why does she have to be so cute… Stopping her immature rampage, "What'd you say?"

"Wow, you really are an idiot, when you don't even hear correctly, when someone calls you an idiot…or maybe you're just deaf." Naru smirked.

"NO! I thought you said something after that."

"So now you're delusional? Great." Did I call her cute out loud?

" Naru you Jerk!" Mai practically yelled. What was I thinking? There's no way he would think that, especially not about me. . Oh my gosh! He has the most gorgeous eyes…No! No! Stop thinking that, he does not! Mai sighed as she left to make the tea.

As Naru walked into the sitting area, he couldn't help but smirk at Mai's reaction. It was one of favorites, another being when she pouted. She acted as if she'd never tired of his constant jabs: in fact, she seemed to retaliate with even more fervor. True, it was cynical for him to take such pleasure from seeing her riled up like that, but she was just so infectious. Like the sun, always brightening his day. The sound of John clearing his throat interrupted Naru from his internal monologue. Quickly, straightening his face into the constant apathetic mask that was becoming his trademark; Naru greeted him.

"How are you John?"

"I've been better. You seem to be just peachy." Said John, noting the slight blush that had spread across Naru's face. "But on a more serious note: I need your help."

*(time skip)*

"So what's the case about again?" Asked Mai, while she looked out the window of the van.

"Apparently, there's a very dangerous presence that has been harassing one of John's parishioners. The family has moved out and John has exorcised the property and house multiple times. However, whatever it is; persists and is becoming more violent." Answers Naru. This will be a dangerous case, I hope that the ghost will leave Mai alone for once. Although that's unlikely to happen.

That poor family! "Are there any children?"

"Yes. There's a boy and a girl. They're both young and I'm sure this has been a pretty traumatizing set of events for them."

"…And their parents?"

"Mr. Hashire is a skeptic. This of course doesn't surprise me; there's always one for every case. Mrs. Hashire and her mother however, are very afraid." Stated Naru, as they pulled into the driveway of Hashire's two-story house.

Mai stared in awe at the picturesque home. Stained glass windows, hangings flowers, and English ivy gracefully adorned the home. It almost seemed too perfect to be haunted. Quietly following Naru and Lin up the porch steps to the door, Mai stood on the tips of her toes; trying to peek over their shoulders to catch a glimpse of the home. This of course was pointless since they both towered over her, but all she wanted was one little peek. Mai lost her balance, tipped forward and hit Naru's shoulder. Wow! Is he really that muscled? I knew he was strong, but this is just ridiculous.

…this is just ridiculous… I agree completely. "Mai I know you like me but this is unprofessional." Smirked Naru. Mai blushed at the comment but didn't say anything.

"Noll this isn't the time or place to flirt." Lin glared and pressed the door bell. This time it was Naru's turn to blush, although only Lin noticed it.

An old lady opened the door. "I take it you're the supernatural investigation team Brown-san was talking about, please come in." she said. "My name is Hashire Mei."

"Okaa-sama who is at the door?" asked a younger man, clearly her son-in-law and not at all pleased with his three guests.

"They are the team that Brown-san told us about." Replied the sweet, old woman.

"This is a problem we can handle on our own Okaa-sama. There is no…"

Suddenly the most piercing scream Mai had ever heard was being emitted from an upstairs bedroom.

I really hope everyone likes it... my writing will start at around chapter 5. I will be updating weekly :)
