Chapter 1
"Oh. My. God." The sixteen-year-old Mai Taniyama said once she saw the giant structure.
"This place is huge!" the self-claimed miko, Ayako Matsuzaki exclaimed.
"And kinda creepy" the bassist monk Houshou Takigawa said. It was his car that the three pulled up into the driveway of a very large, very old home called Masakazu Manor. The attention-grabbing mansion was actually the site of their new case.
SPR was hired by Midori Mamori-Fujita, a married, mother-of-two therapist with a bad ghost problem. For the past fifteen years, she and her younger brother Seiichi Fujita have owned Masakazu Manor and have been haunted since the day they bought it. Midori herself had been attacked violently by the ghosts with fire and nearly been electrocuted. Seiichi, while never been actually hurt by the attacks, has been attacked none the less, and has seen the ghosts with his own eyes. The other five people in the house, the husband, the children and the staff, have all had supernatural experiences.
Takigawa parked behind the black SPR van and everyone got out of their vehicles. The narcissistic teen boss and his tall, tree-like assistant always seemed busy, and now was no exception. The emo/goth-looking two were each holding a clipboard and were discussing something to each other silently. The two came over to the rest of the team and Naru took the stand.
"The residents should all be home today, according to Dr. Mamori-Fujita" he said.
"And yes we are." The whole team turned around to the front of the house, where they saw a man in dirty jeans and a sweaty t-shirt. He didn't look too old, and his jet black hair and dark brown eyes just made him better-looking.
"Hello, I'm Kazuya Shibuya-" Naru started.
"From Shibuya Psychic Research" the man interrupted. "Glad you got here alright. I'm Seiichi Fujita, half owner of this property. Please excuse my appearance; I take care of the yard work on the weekends."
"You're excused, Fujita-san. Please let me introduce this team. My assistant-"Naru tried again.
"You probably don't want to make this speech more than once," Seiichi interrupted again. "Let me take you inside, everyone should be in the sitting room according to the time of day." He led them all into the house, whispers following behind him.
"Wow, that guys got guts" Houshou said under his breath.
"I can't believe he interrupted Naru twice in a row" Ayako whispered.
"I'm still in shock" Mai said, still a little surprised. Naru's usual air of superiority normally kept people quiet while he spoke. Not this time. Seiichi just did it twice without batting an eye. Mai immediately had some awesome respect for the guy. He took them into a room behind a gigantic staircase to a sitting room where tea was being served. In that room were two men, a woman, a teenage girl, a little girl and a maid pouring tea.
"Hey Midori, Ghostbusters is here" Seiichi introduced the team. Mai couldn't help but giggle at the joke, but no one else found it funny.
"Oh, Seiichi-sama, you should've let me get them" the maid said, stopping what she was doing.
"Don't worry, Saeko-san. I didn't put my back out opening the door for them" he said, sitting on the floor next to the teenage girl. The woman in the room rose, and motioned for the man next to her to do the same. Together, they greeted the team with handshakes and bows.
"Hello, welcome to Masakazu Manor!" the woman said, all most too enthusiastic. "You're Kazuya Shibuya, right?" she asked Houshou.
"That would be me" Naru said, to the woman's surprise.
"Wow, you sure are… young to be a business owner" she said, just like everyone else who ever hired SPR.
"Yes, I know. Allow me to introduce my team. My assistants, Mai Taniyama and Kujou Lin. Ayako Matsuzaki, a self-claimed miko, and Houshou Takigawa, a monk from Mt. Koya" Naru said, uninterrupted this time.
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Midori Mamori-Fujita. This is my husband, Ryoichi Mamori" The man next to her nodded to the team and kept his mouth shut. "There are my daughters, Kaiya and Akiko" The teen, Kaiya nodded, while the little one, Akiko, didn't even look up at them. "You've met my younger brother Seiichi Fujita. And this young man in Shinichi Taro, Akiko's nanny."
"Hello" the nanny said in greeting, the only one to speak.
"Well, -Fujita" Naru said, "Please tell us why we're here."
