Right hope you enjoy I sincerely apologies if it sounds like something you have already read but I don't read Fanfic a lot.
Summary- Basically Mai is an immortal being, the work of centuries of breeding humans, demons and spirits together. She visits the compound of the clan of hybrids which she will take over. The group don't find out until after one of something I'm going to call, Mai's mega prank spree.

Mai's POV
My mum is stabbed and then her skin peeled off right in front of me the same is done with my dad I watch in horror from my hiding place.
"Where's the brat?" one of them says as they get close
"Hello Mai, I will save you as long as I am part of you forever and you shall never die as long as I live." the 6 year old me didn't know what to do so she nods takes the demon's hand who saves me but she enters my body. "We are now forever one,"
I shoot up in a cold sweat
"Mai you okay?" Sakura the demon in my body asks
"Yes I am fine," I reply using her tongue which is partly mine. I make myself some toast and get changed
"I'm going to show if you keep on worrying," I nod and get ready for work at the office I pray Naru goes easy on me. I get to work 5 minutes late ,shit,
"Mai you're late, again," Naru says to me I sit at my desk and sigh
"Sorry I was on the phone," I say lying and he could tell
"Don't lie Mai," shit he caught me I sigh mentally
'I can kill him for you,' Sakura says through telepathy
'No thanks,' I reply awkwardly.
"I'll go make some tea," I say getting up and walking to the kitchen, I fill the kettle with water and leave it to heat. I hum a tune while I prepare the cups, the kettle finishes heating, I pour the water into the cups and stir them a bit and then bin the bags. I walk to Lin's office enter put down the tea and leave. I do the same with Naru but just before I left he addresses me.
"Mai you're always and you're not acting like yourself is something going on. I can't risk the businesses reputation because of you." I put on a fake smile
"I'm fine Naru," I leave the room and walk to my desk where I practically look lifeless.
'Can I help?' Sakura asks
'Nah I'm good, for the most part,' I look at the case files we have and look through them I sigh again. The phone rings I pick it up it's an unknown caller,
"Hello this is Shibuya Psychic research, Mai Taniyama speaking," I say
"Hello Mai," it was a deep raspy voice I recognize it, one of the people who killed my parents.
"Excuse me do I know you?" Sakura takes over my speech the line goes dead at the sound of the demons voice.
"Why did it have to be one of them," I ask myself my head in my hands which I was shaking in a sort of manner. Unbeknownst to me Naru was listening in on the conversation through his phone. A few tears roll down my face remembering the dream I had, quiet sobbing was one of my specialties.
(Time Skip 10 minutes before the end of work)
The day has gone with no casualties, only problem was that phone call.
"Mai do you know who phoned earlier?" Naru asks when I go to give him his 50th cup of tea that day. Okay I'm exaggerating. I tense at the question
"No not really," I reply
"He seemed to know you," he retorts
"Another time Naru, I can't be bothered to talk about that right now," I say sadly and turn to leave. "Besides I would've thought you read the article 10 years ago, but I guess there were no names mentioned in it." I say and I leave and go to my bag to grab a book on demonic abilities, which is disguised as a journal. I read through it until time to leave, I pack up and go home no goodbyes or usual Mai stuff. When I get home I promptly go and sob on my bed. "Why now, when my life was finally turning out right?" I sob out a hand squeezes my shoulder Sakura is standing there.
"Mai my beautiful kit nothing will happen to you, I swear on my life as a Kitsune." I nod Sakura has been my mother figure ever since my real one died. Sakura is a Go-Bi Kitsune translated to five-tailed fox.
"Sakura what am I meant to do I thought they were all locked up for life no bail or killed by you." I say she strokes my hair
"Don't worry Mai I will protect you anyways you need to eat something so what do you want?"
"I don't mind," I reply she leaves my room and I follow through when the doorbell rings. "I've got it Sakura!" I say rushing to the door and opening it
"Hey Mai," Bou-san says
"Hey Bou-san, Ayako and John do you want to come in," I say they come in and I shut the door.
"Who is it Mai and do I have to Mai extra?" Sakura says standing in the lounge
"Friends, do you guys want something to eat?"
"Sure, I didn't know you had a roommate," Bou-san says
"Oh yeah this is Sakura my mother figure since mine died," I say. "Sakura this is Bou-san, Ayako and John," they all nod
"Nice to meet you all, do you guys have any preferences or no?"
"Nope surprise us," John says smiling warmly
"Mai you look like you've been crying," Ayako points out
"It's nothing really," I say smiling a huge fake smile but a very convincing one
"Dinners ready," Sakura says placing a traditional Japanese meal in front of every plate. What did I expect from an over five hundred year old Kitsune.
"Wow this is good and very traditional," Ayako says with Bou-san and John at the same time
"This is quite regular when I cook," Sakura says as she starts eating.
"So how did you two meet?" John asks we both tense at the question
"Long story," I say before continuing eating
"We have a while," Bou-san adds I try and think of a way out
"We met the night Mai's parents died," Sakura says
"I forgot to ask Mai you told us you were an orphan but how did your parents die?" Ayako asks A lump forms in my throat I don't like talking about that night
"10 years ago 5th of May," I start.
"Please tell me it wasn't them," Ayako says covering her mouth
"My..my parents where.. Where murdered," I say and start sobbing
"Oh Mai," Ayako says
"Ayako what are you talking about?" John asks
"10 years ago 5th of May, two parents were brutally murdered in front of their daughter." Ayako trails off into the story that the press got Sakura was comforting me. "No one was told how they were murdered," They look at me I was calm now and collected.
"They were stabbed once and then skinned alive, I was hiding during it,"
"That's gross and uncalled for," John says
"Well you probably want some sleep to get your mind off things so we'll leave now, we promise we won't tell anyone the girl was you." Bou-san says I nod and show them out
"Have a good evening," I say before closing the door Sakura was cleaning up,
"Mai have you considered my offer," Sakura asks
"I need more time to think," I say the offer was to turn me half demon, I turn towards my bedroom door Sakura once again enters my body
'Sweet dreams kit,' she says I smile as I get into my PJs and then into bed and fall asleep quite quickly
After I take the demon's hand she slaughters the ones who got close to me. The police arrive and arrest the others and find me cowering in a cupboard
"Don't hurt me," I say using my hands as a defense system they grab my hand and pull me outside they put me in a police car and drive me off to a station. In an interrogation room is where I stayed for a few hours. Two people enter I was cowering in a corner using it to protect me at angles I couldn't. "Who are you, what do you want with me, I want my mum and dad back!?" I wail confused. Sympathetic faces was all I saw.
I wake up in a similar state to yesterday my mobile rings, it's 7 in the morning,
"Hello," I say shakily
"Mai we have a case be at the office by half past," Naru's voice says before cutting off. I get out of bed and have a shower, brush my teeth, get changed and eat some toast. I have 10 minutes so I take the chance
"Sakura I accept," I say overwhelming power fills my body and demonic marks cover my arms, legs, face and stomach. They disappear and I head to the office arriving early for once, but everyone was still there before me.
"Mai's on time who are you and what did you do with Mai-Chan?!" Yasu says playfully
"Mai is now on time because she has a friend to make sure she is, she does not wish to get killed and her friend is not one for jokes." I say like a recorded message and laugh at the end. "I'm messing with you," Which causes the others to laugh.
"So to brief it, the spirit is believed to be malevolent and it's at an old mansion that use to belong to a clan that was known for it's skills to control elements and the amount of familiars the clan had." Lin says. "The clan's current head wishes for us to arrive today," Lin says they look in disbelief
"Lin what is the clan's name?" Yasu asks
"They would not reveal it due to one of their members knowing us all,"
Shit they've been keeping tabs I think we all leave with been given 1 hour to be back at the office.
1 hour later of boring packing and not so mild demon cursing
"Right everyone's here so let's get going," Lin says we get into the cars, all ride I was mumbling stuff under my breath
"Stupid fucking demon clan, my parents got killed because they were the strongest. You need to up the demon guards seriously." I was emitting a dark aura and murderous intent my face seriously looked pissed
"Hey Mai you're creeping us out, do you have something against the clan, we don't even know the clan so why would you be so dark about it?" Yasu says trying to lighten the atmosphere in the car
"Do I have something against the clan? Yes actually I do," I say and I brood in the middle seat John and Yasu edged closer to their doors. We arrive Yep it's the bastard clan's place the others look at the door there was no way in unless you had their blood in them. Shit they want me to reveal myself I am so going to prank their asses, the group was look at the bowl which the member had to put their blood in, the water was always clear.
"How do we get in," Ayako asks
"Like this, Bastards open the gates before I come in and rip your heads off!" I shout they look at me but the gates opened
"So like your parents," the guard says sweat drop appearing on his head
"I know that's why I am going to get back at you all later," I say evilly
"I have a bad feeling about this," John says
"Oh this will be fun, where's the heads room?" I ask sweetly he leads us to the meeting area.
"Mai why did you have to be like your parents? Loud, obnoxious and annoying," the head says
"And powerful don't forget that," I say happily
"Mai you're too at home here," Yasu says
"Family friend," I say. "Oh and this clan will pay tonight," I say rubbing my hands smiling once again evilly
"You parents pranks were bad what will you do?" he says
"Wait and see, it's your fault bastard," I say pouting the group looks scared
"Mai sit down and shut up," Naru says
"Fine," I say sitting down crossing my arms. I listen. "Hey you sure that you don't have one of the members plotting the clan's downfall? I mean why the hell wouldn't a clan member do it, last I checked the heiress has been missing for 10 years, so that means if she is not found the person who overthrew you would get the powerful familiars." I say not mentioning anything about the fact I'm the heiress. I smirk,
"Mai what the hell happened to you?" Bou-san asked
"Nothing except you brought these bastards back into my life," I say angrily. "Is my room still here cause I could really go use the punching bag right now." I ask
"Yes your room is still here," the clan's head, my grandfather says I get up
"Bye knock if you want something," I say
"Is she usually like that here?" I hear someone in the group ask
"Yes she hates the place," grandfather laughs out I get to my room and punch like there was no tomorrow.
"Stupid..fucking..clan..hell..will..I..ever..lead..this..piece..of..shit!" I say in between punches when I finished my knuckles were covered in my own blood. I suck on them to lower the pain, someone knocks on the door I open it. "Not you," I say as I see the fuckboy of the clan
"Mai why don't you like me?" he whines
"Because I don't goodbye," I say shutting the door. "Stupid fuckboy," I muttur I stare at my beautiful crimson and black room. Another knock
"Mai can we come in?"
"Yeah," I say a I sit down on my bed they look at me weird the whole house is demonic sort of colours. "He hasn't told you yet?" I laugh out
"Told us what Mai," Naru asks
"Ha what sort of clan do you think this is?" I ask seriously
"A spiritual one," Lin says
"OMG ha you couldn't be more wrong," I say I was giggling my heart out.
"What sort of clan are we dealing with Mai?" Naru asks helping me off the floor
"You'll find out now if you don't mind I actually need to talk to him," I growl out him and I leave them dumbfounded. "Grandfather!" I say
"Yes Mai," he says sweetly
"You need to to tell them if you won't I will!" I growl
"Tell them then, and don't forget the part about you being the heiress to the clan."
"Fine I'll tell them, oh and keep the fuckboy away from my room,"
"Yes dear," he says before I leave
"Sakura you're on fuckboy guard duty," I say
"Yes my other half," she wizzes off and I go back to the room
"I have permission now to tell you everything, but be warned what is spoken in these walls stays in these walls. This clan will not hesitate to kill the person you told and you, got it." I growl out the part about killing.
"So start talking seeing as you know more about these people than any of us," Ayako says
"I am limiting your knowledge to about the clan and nothing about my affiliations with it. I still won't give you the clan name because that would mean the privacy of someone lost, this clan is the most powerful Akuma Kuran." I say
"Demon clan?"
"Yes the people in this clan breed until they create an immortal clan member, she or he will then be in charge of the clan until the others die out then she or he will need reproduce. Any questions." I say
"Have they created an immortal being yet?" John asks
"Yes they have, not going to mention gender, name, location or age, just that she is the clan member that the clan's head told you about."
"Wait we know an immortal being?!" Bou-san, Ayako, Yasu and John come out with.
"If you can gain the trust of the clan I will tell you clues as to who this might be," I say. "Oh and be careful look at for a blonde boy with orange eyes, he has too much sexual interest for his own good." I add and smile. "Solve the case you get the clues, gain the trust learn the person," I say they nod
"So what we going to do now?" Yasu asks
"Maybe we should go find out why random spirits attack people passing by," I say
"Hey how comes we weren't attacked,"
"Time will tell," I say. "Now who has it in for clan head?" I think to myself. "Mashiro, his sister was chucked out the clan for treason, I'll check him out you ask around." I say I run through the halls to Mashiro's room I knock
"Yes?" I open. "Mai good to see you," he says
"Mashiro I need to find out about the attacks going on by the gates, any ideas?" I say
"I have heard about the main familiar attacking it was a wendigo,"
"What a wendigo? Do you know the colours?"
"I think it was the grey-blue one."
"Shibita's wendigo he must be using the passers by to feed it, there is a reason hospitals donate human flesh to us and some farms give us animals." I say. "By the way you heard from your sister or have you cut all ties with her?" I ask
"I cut all ties I can't believe my sister would dishonor herself and me," I nod
"Good day Mashiro," I bow he bows back
"You too Mai," I run down the halls to the gates and wait for a passer by. It was about 15 minutes but a wendigo in a bluish-grey colour appeared and ate her.
"Oh I'm pissed now," I say I start running to Shibata's room passing the group, they follow
"Mai what are you doing?" Yasu asks they can't keep up with my inhuman speeds.
"I found the main culprit, all familiars colours are different, the main familiar attacking the passers by is a blue-grey wendigo." I say I turn the corner and there was Shibata with his wendigo I think it's name Cyan.
"Shibata!" I say kicking him I look fiercely at the wendigo. "Why is your wendigo eating passers by!?" I growl
"I'm not the only one , mine may be the main one, I'm sorry I'll use the donated items from now on." he says scared out of his mind I glare at him
"Who are the others?" I say
"Michi and Mocho the twins are the only other ones," I nod
"I will have a word with them they are probably not doing it on purpose the are only just starting to train their first familiars. They have black dogs right, the only difference between them is one is navy blue, right?" he nods frantically. " Have a good day Shibata," I say bowing a bit
"Too you to Mai," He does the same gesture
"Your kidding one minute you're pissed the next you're bowing slightly to the guy." Yasu says finally catching up as well as the others
"Oh you haven't seen me pissed, that's just a minor anger blow, when I'm piss ed you'll know. Anyways I need to speak with the clan head about talking to the twins, they're training right now." I say walking off yet again. "Sakura report on the fuckboy," I say Sakura appears in her half kitsune form with 5 tails behind here
"He is fantasizing about you right now,"
"I swear I need to beat it into him, I don't like him one bit," I say Sakura nods her kimono behind her.
"So how you faring with the new kitsune power?" she asks out of the group's ear range
"Quite well actually," I reply we get to the office I knock
"Yes,"
"Grandfather the twins and Shibato where the ones eating passers by," I say
"Thank you Mai, I will have a stern word with them, would your group like to stay for a while?" he asks
"I'll ask if that is all…"
"Mai you can't avoid it forever you know you will have to take over the clan, no one knows except you, me and your group that we succeeded in creating an immortal. I wish for you to take it over when I die, that my be in a few decades maybe a century because of my demon blood but you will have to take it over wether you like it or not." He says sternly
"I know just please, I wish to spend time with my friends, the only way that they would stay alive with me is if I made them half demon. The only way to do that is to have them drink my blood."
"When you tell them I would be more than happy for them to join them to join the clan." he nods I do a small bow
"Have a good day Sofu," I say
"You too Magomusume," he does the same gesture, I leave the room and shut the door, I decide to go the gymnastics on the wall. I jump up and walk turning every so often doing flips now and again. The group watch me in awe as I stop right in front of the setting sun after doing a backflip, I laugh and somersault off the wall and run to the group.
"The head of clan asks if you would like to stay for a while, to sort out the information now since the case finished quickly I will give you one clue each day so, the immortal being is on this premise," I say
"Mai tell the clan head we accept," I nod at Naru and run off back to the office
"They accept," I say through the door, and now to get work on the prank I think evilly I go to my room and get out the deadly spores and acids I was saving for a prank. "This is going to be fun," I say I put traps and the doors to the bedrooms of the clan members and set up cameras. I link them to my tablet and I put it in my bed side table and laugh.
"Mai we're going for dinner you coming?" Ayako asks I leave the room and snigger as a few clan members leave their rooms for dinner and get splashed with acid and covers in spores I laugh. They all shout the same thing
"MAI!" I laugh so hard I fell over
"You actually pranked them," John says in disbelief I wipe a tear from my eye
"Yep that's my best one," I say in fits of giggles. "Think of it as a good to see you again present!" I shout to them there bodies regenerate themselves.
"Yep just what we expected from you but acid and poisonous spores? You're getting more evil, I mean last time, let's not go there," Mimito says helping me up
"Oh I remember that was a killer prank on the twins," I say
"I remember it vividly, and you got pictures of the hair before they got rid of it," she says
"Oh man pixie boy and horn head the best hairstyles I ever did as pranks," I continue laughing I follow them to the dining room which was as traditional as the rest of the house
"Look the queen of pranks enters," everyone says as I enter I laugh even more
"Hey pixie boy, horn head," I say as I pass the twins
"You won't drop it will you?" they ask
"Nope, nah and I still have the pictures," I say they look horrified the brownies (They are small fairies who do chores in return for a room and board) we eat dinner I often got compliments for my pranks. I am also the youngest one in the room, seeing as Masako didn't come.
"So how are you guys doing with the clue?" I ask they look at me
"Can't figure it out," Bou-san says, I look to the clan who nod
"Another clue, the gender is female," I say they nod there's only about 5 females other than me and Ayako so they now have seven people to work with, we all finish the dinner quite peacefully.
"Mai what did you do in that prank with the hair?" Yasu asks.
"Oh that was priceless pixie boy is the nickname given because I made Michi's hair neon green with pink and yellow stripes and horn head, I style Mocho's hair into horns and then died that bright red with a yellow tip it was amazing." I say the clan recall the screams of horror from the twins when they looked in the mirror and a few chuckle while the twins pout.
"I don't know how you got into our room we had traps and guards," they say
"Never underestimate the master of pranks, remember all the shops closed until I stopped my prank spree once." I say
"You're that bad?" the group ask
"NO SHE'S MUCH WORSE," the clan chorus I smile
"Yep what did I do to town? I remember a time when I decided to tip neon pink paint on anyone who went in or outside, that was funny, a town a neon pink civilians. I graffitied the mayor's house in neon colours,"
"Mai where the hell did you get those ideas?" Bou-san, Ayako, Yasu and John say
"Don't forget the time someone tried to poison me but the poison made me act like I was high." I say laughing
"How could we forget," Mimito says. "That day was crazy, no matter how many guards, seals and locks we placed on your room you still got out and pranked everyone."
"Right I'll keep that on a list poison makes Mai high," Bou-san says
"Oi, then again now that I think about that was the first prank I have done in about 5 years,"
"Shit, she's going on a spree tomorrow," the clan say.
"And you're going to do everything in your power to stop me," I smile one of my dangerous smiles. "Whelp I'm going to bed night," I say leaving the room I left a camera and microphone
"Right ground rules for tomorrow since you haven't witnessed her prank sprees before,
Check your door
If she is out of her room alert someone
If she escapes the compound tell one of us to go get her
Never walk right up to her
And make sure she stays away from poison
I think that covers it all," the clan head says I laugh
"Oh you don't know I have the power of the fox on my side, sly, sneaky and cunning." I say out loud laughing afterwards I get into PJs and go to sleep. What do I dream about you ask? My pranks I'm gonna pull, of course!
