Ai-chan: *waves* hiya people! Long time no see! I've been really disappointed these days... *frowns* nobody has been reviewing my crossover... should I just abandon it? Well anyway, I do not own Ghost Hunt of course seeing that this manga / anime series started when I was just a teenie winnie lil' girl.

Prologue

Mai's POV

Dear diary,

It's been quite some time since Naru left; a little bit over a year to be exact. Since he, who had left me with shattered heart, left, I haven't been to another case. Thus, I was able to improve my grades and was now the top student at my grade. That's the reason to why I haven't write in you since that case which I succeeded for the first time in my spirit hunting career.

As you can see, I'm not actually stupid. It just seemed so because I enquired about paranormal things which I had never learned before. Damn that narcissist yeah... Though you already know about this... Hehehe... after all, you are my best friend.

You know what? I've confessed to him! And do you know what he said? Well he asked me actually... "Do you love me or Gene?" Like what the heck?! (o.O)?! Then he left me there... he really is a jerk. No scratch that... he's a bastard!

I am sure that I love him! While I know that Gene is sweet but I love him as a brother. I knew that they're different... it's just that... yeah... *sigh* have I told you that Gene hasn't left? He still visits me in my dreams and I could say that he's a really sweet brother... my feelings for Naru is still as strong as ever but I fear that I may be developing some feelings for Gene as well... my life sure is troublesome...

Well anyway, I've been meeting up with the SPR irregulars. Bou-san is still a monk slash bass player. Ayako-chan has started working full time at the hospital. John is still a priest and Masako is still in the TV show business. Yasu is in a university overseas. All in all, we're all quite busy nowadays. They haven't changed that much unlike me.

My powers have been developing but I can now control them better. It turns out that I have PK-ST. I can move static object with it though I would get drained when I tried to move something really heavy like a car or things like that.

Oh yeah! John and Masako are now a couple same for Ayako and Bou-san. I forgot to tell you that according to Masako, Naru is coming back to Japan in 3 days. *squeal* I really can't wait! I should sleep now. I don't want to be late tomorrow. Write to you soon.

Signing off,

Taniyama Mai

I closed my diary locked it again with a 'click'. I climbed into my bed and held the diary against my chest. I sighed in bliss at the thought of the SPR becoming one again. Since he left, we're somewhat scattered all over. Hopefully... I would be able to confess my actual feelings again. Last time I did, he left me in a dilemma. However, I am now confident that I won't be the same again.

Oh! I haven't introduce myself have I? My oh my... please pardon my forgetfulness. My name is Taniyama Mai, a second year high school student. I'm turning 18 soon, this July to be exact. I also worked at SPR (Shibuya Psychic Research). We hunt ghost and investigate paranormal incidents.

It was really funny now that I think about how I first met Naru (AKA Shibuya Kazuya, the CEO of the business.) I ventured into an old school and accidentally knocked one of the bookshelves when Naru's assistant, Lin Koujo, startled me. Lin-san shielded me and ended up getting injured. I worked for Naru to pay for the expenses which I caused. I broke the camera and injured the Lin-san so I accepted. Little did I know the camera was insured... he's a bastard yeah...

Naru and Lin-san came to my school to solve the case of the 'haunted' school. In the end, all end well and days later Naru contacted me, offering a part time job at SPR. At that time, I've already developed a crush on Naru which now has bloomed into love. I also met the most of the irregulars at the first case.

They are:

Matsuzaki Ayako - a Shinto priestess

Takigawa Houshou (also known as Bou-san) - a monk from Mount Koya slash a bass player in a band

John Brown - a Catholic priest from Australia

Hara Masako - a TV spirit medium

Yasu or Shounen joined us after our case at his school. He was actually our client. His full name is Osamu Yasuhara. He's a very funny and slightly queer guy. He's also our researcher.

We had lots of cases after that but at our last case, Naru's secrets were revealed. It turned out that he is Oliver Davis, a very strong psychic and a genius scientist. He came to Japan to find twin's body, Eugene Davis Gene was involved in a hit-and-run incident and his body was dumped into a lake. On my first case, I also met Gene who became my spirit guide. Last year, we found the lake and retrieved the body. Immediately after that, Naru left to bury his brother's body.

Somewhere along our cases, we found out that I had an animal-like instinct and am a latent psychic. Now I have both ESP and PK which is really rare in the paranormal society. Bou-san helped me to find a teacher to train with. I trained with a monk from the temple he came from and despite only training for a month and a half, I managed to grasp the concept easily and am quite skilled in it. They say that could even rival Oliver Davis given half a year or so training every day. That's saying a lot since Naru is a prodigy. I supposed I've introduced myself quite well. I don't think I've left anything out.

Back to reality, I took a bath, ate breakfast etc and left to the airport. Today is Sunday so I got no school. Naru is arriving soon at 10 and it's already 8.30 now. Cool spring breeze swept over me as I ran full speed to the bus stop.

The bus is filled with couples today. Well, it's not a rare sight on Sunday which is also the reason why I really don't like riding the bus on Sundays. It makes me feel bitter. It's like they're mocking me as I was rejected.

However, today is different. I didn't feel that bitter feeling that I used to feel. I'm feeling all giddy today. I really can't wait to see him again. I soon arrived at the airport and rushed toward the arrival section.

"Yo Mai-chan!" A familiar voice called out. I whirled around and waved energetically at Bou-san and Ayako. With a grin from ear to ear, I shouted, "Bou-san! Ayako-chan!"

All of a sudden, a pair of hands taps me on the shoulder. I would have jumped and shrieked in fright had I been my younger self though since I've awaken more of my psychic abilities, I developed an affinity to sensing people.

So, instead of shouting, I turned around and punched the person. "Yikes! Easy Mai-chan!" the person exclaimed. I paused in mid motion and blinked in confusion. Slowly, realization dawned on me and I broke out into a smile. "Yasu! Long time no see! Why didn't you tell me that you're coming today?"

Yasu didn't change that much. I think he only got a little teenie tiny bit taller. Well maybe… Behind him I say another familiar couple. "John! Masako-chan! Over here!" I called out in glee.

"Mai-chan," they greeted in unison. I gave Masako a brief hug but tight hug. "Good luck… I didn't get him, not that I don't love John, but hopefully you'll get him," Masako whispered behind her kimono sleeve. She hasn't really changed except for being less bitchy.

"Oh look! There's Lin! Ooooiii! Lin! Over here!" Bou-san pointed out. True to his word, I say two familiar mop of black. Lin is still as tall as ever, compared to me anyway, and Naru… he's lost his previous baby fat and a few inches taller I think. He looked much more mature.

An indescribable feeling of pure joy erupted in my heart as my eyes landed on him. He's staring at something with… love? The thing, no person, is a woman with silver hair, an albino, matched with an alluring pair of violet orbs.

No…

Naru and Lin nodded at us and the woman detached herself from Naru's arm and bowed deeply at us. She introduced herself in a light cheerful voice, "Hello! My name is Amarantine Levesque! My Japanese name is Shimizu Aika. Though you can just call me Aika, I don't really like formalities. It's nice to meet you!"

"She's your girlfriend Naru?" Ayako enquired in a hostile voice.

No… please… no…

"No she's not," Naru replied.

I let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness…

"She's my fiancée," Naru finished.

Ai-chan: Well... that's short... but it's the prologue so it doesn't matter, right? Yes, so please do me a favour and give me reviews will ya? They're my food and motivation.

So let me get this straight first. I am assuming that the first case, which Mai first met Naru in, was on April or somewhere during spring if I am not mistaken, there are some cherry blossoms at the beginning of the series.

At that time, Mai is 15 and a first year high school student. The ghost series end at somewhere in March where Naru found Gene. Mai is already 16 by then. One year time skip and now we have Mai a 17 years old, second year student. I don't really know that much about the Japanese school system so this is all my assumption.

Another thing, you may think that Mai is gaining her powers too quickly and may seem to be Mary Sue-ic but I trust you, I'm going to play with her character and make her have flaws. Suicide tendencies are flaws right? Oh wait... bad... bad... I'm spilling out my plans... I suppose that is all... don't forget to review! ≧﹏≦
