Chapter 1

She was walking along the sidewalk enjoying the beautiful yet cool weather. She wore a pair of brown Capri's and a thick blue sweater. People walked along the street with her and heading in the opposite direction as her busy with whatever it is they were intending to do.

Today was her day off and she was enjoying it very much. Breaks from the ghosts, the attacks, and the pain, the images, as well as her tea addict of a boss Shibuya Kazuya or as she had dubbed him a while ago when she first started working for him Naru. That guy was so much of a narcissist it was unbelievable. How vain can someone get? Well obviously so that they were nicknamed Naru. At first working for him wouldn't be so bad if he'd learn some manners and keep his mouth closed more often. Boy did he get on her nerves. But enough about that annoying jerk back to enjoying her day off and away from him. She looked around and found herself in front of a bookstore.

"How did I end up here?" She thought. "Guess my feet just led me here. Might as well take a look inside." She opened the door and a small bell jingled signaling to whoever was in charge a customer had come in. She looked around. It was a nice little store. Books lined several shelves and from the way the lighting was it seemed as if the books were rather old. She began to walk among the aisles of the book store and true enough it was the lighting. Although the further back she got the older the books seemed to get. She gazed at the titles. They were all different. Books on normal literature, autobiographies, biographies, but most on the paranormal. Now those would be something she could actually get into. She looked a bit more and decided that tomorrow she would definitely come by on break to maybe check it out for a bit longer and maybe buy a book or two seeing as it was payday.

She smiled and then headed out not knowing what would come for her that night when she would crawl into her bed.

She made it home to her small apartment. It was nice nothing too fancy but it was homey and perfect for her. She slipped off her shoes as she locked her door and slowly made it to her kitchen to make herself some dinner. Now she was no chef extraordinaire but she knew how to cook. She made herself her food and then sat at the island and ate her food. She sighed knowing that tomorrow was just going to be one heck of a day. She loved her job definitely. I mean who wouldn't when they got to pretty much go everywhere around the country and solve interesting cases. Although dangerous and not exactly the best thing in the world at times but, they were still worth it in the end, weather or not she received a bruise or two. After dinner she cleaned up and made her way to her room in the dark. She entered it and closed the door. She then proceeded to do her usual nightly routine and then happily slipped into her bed and snuggled comfortably under the covers.

~Mai's Dream: ~

She opened her eyes to an odd dark place. Nothing was visible and it definitely did not have a safe feeling. "Where am I?" She thought. "It's so dark." She took a step forward and then another and paused. She looked around. Her surroundings changed a bit. There was a bit of color and then the next thing she knew she was outside in a garden maybe? She took a few steps and then stood frozen at the sight. Standing Right in front of her was a statue of a large silver wolf and on top of it was a bird. Its wings spread out and looked as if it were going to land on the wolf. She looked at the bird more closely. It was a raven and its eyes were red. She looked back down at the wolf and it too had red eyes although the wolf's eyes were more ferocious than that of the ravens. "Where's Gene?" He usually showed up in her weird dreams to explain things but he was nowhere in sight. She looked at the wolf again and its eyes were glowing and it looked as if it were about ready to pounce on her any second. When it suddenly began to move and run towards her. Just as it was about to attack she had disappeared.

~Real world: ~

Mai suddenly shot up and was sitting up in her bed. She was panting heavily due to the amount of fear that odd statue had induced into her. She eventually calmed down. Her breathing had returned and she was now wondering where her dream guide had been. "It's been so long. He wasn't there the last case and now when I have a weird dream he isn't here again. Where are you Gene?" She thought a bit longer and wondered if he had finally passed on. She let out a sigh. "I know it's not nice to say but, I kind of wish he doesn't pass on. I like seeing him" She whispered to no one in particular. She let out another sigh and finally lay down and got comfortable again and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
