Summary: Mai's been having strange dreams. Stranger than ever. Asking Naru about it, he concludes she's being haunted. But there might be something more than that…
Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt.
'There it is again,' Mai thought looking at a badly lit hallway. She walks down the hallway. Stopping in front of a familiar door, Mai looks around and realizes she didn't know where she was.
Mai didn't want to open the door but she did anyway. In the middle of the room there's a chair. A girl dressed in white sat on it. She reminded Mai of scary movies. The girl's face is hidden by her hair.
"Mai-chan," the girl said in a playful voice but it echoed and sounded harsh. "Come here. We'll play."
Mai didn't want to go there but she ended up walking there. She saw the girl before but this was the first time she ever had to walk up to her. Mai was about to nudge the girl. Her hand came up and—
"MAI! Stop slacking off!" Naru's voice jolted Mai out of her dream.
Mai rubbed her eyes. She hadn't been getting sleep lately because of her bad dreams but that just caused her to sleep more and get more nightmares. Mai looked up to see Naru glaring at her.
"You've been falling asleep lately," he said coldly.
"Sorry…" Mai apologized, "I've been having nightmares recently and I can't seem to sleep."
"If it's about our cases, take today off and rest at your pl--"
"Not my room."
Naru looked up. Mai's eyes looked blank as she said that but she seemed to recover.
"Oh! I'm sorry," she apologized for the second time that day, "I don't know why I said that all of a sudden…"
Naru called Lin.
"Yes?"
"Please drive Mai home."
Lin nodded and Mai followed him to his car. He drove to her apartment. Mai just stared up at it, not wanting to go in for some reason. Lin drove away but as he did, he noticed Mai didn't move from her spot.
The following day, Mai came to work in her school uniform.
"Mai," Naru came out of his office with Masako, "Te—why haven't you changed?"
"I didn't want to go home," Mai answered, "I don't like it there. Naru? What's wrong with me?"
"Other than you're paranoid and you're an idiot? Nothing," he replied turning away.
"Because… I shouldn't be having nightmares about the same girl right? Should I?"
Naru sighed. "If that's all that's bothering you, tell me about the girl."
"… She wears white. She sits on the same chair in the same looking room. She has black hair that always covers her face. She calls me Mai-chan. And last time, she invited me to play with her…"
"Isn't it obvious? You're being haunted."
What do you think? Is it good? Should I continue?
