Someone Like You Chapter 1: Someone Like You, a ghost hunt fanfic

A one shot song-fic based on Adele's song Someone Like You.

I don't own Ghost Hunt or Adele's song.

Hope you guys like this one.

Mai Taniyama sat on her Victorian style couch on her new house in the suburban part of Tokyo. It's been five years since the SPR disbanded and she never pursue the parapsychology, instead she used her hidden talent of singing to get out of her hell life after her former boss left.

Bou-san asked her earlier that day if she was invited in his wedding. She didn't answer since she didn't receive anything. Thinking about him, she remembered how her heart was broken five years ago and how her sweet living life went downwards. She didn't accept any help from her former teammates, she took on full responsibility of her life. That ended in a disastrous way in less than a year. She lost her apartment because her salary wasn't enough to pay for the rent. She was homeless and stayed in some homeless shelter for weeks until she was discovered in a small bar she worked on. Her connections with the others were cut off until she became famous in Japan. Yes, she's now famous.

At the age of 18, her career skyrocketed after she released her first album. She sold millions of copies in less than a week. And in that short time, she got herself a condominium in downtown Tokyo. Her friends did not recognized her on tv when she performed at one of the shows. Who would? Her hair was now longer, passed her shoulders, and thank puberty for giving her good assets. She also changed her name, her alias is now eMTy. The first one to recognized her was her Bou-san and after that the rest of them figured it out.

Her ex-boss is now getting married. Who would've thought that he'll, find someone that's good enough to be his bride. She sighed again and stared up on the ceiling. She was hired to perform for their wedding but she was not invited as herself, 'So he doesn't know that I'm eMTy' she thought. Something clicked inside her, she rushed to her library and grabbed a pen and paper and started writing.

In less than a week, she wrote a song to sing for the wedding. She's sure that she'll get his attention with the her new single. It's already number one on the charts in three weeks and people are already waiting for her next album. She then heard her phone ringing, she looked at it and saw that it was Bou-san.

"Hey, Bou-san. What's up?" she asked casually.

"Jou-chan, are you ready?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a few" she ended the call and took her luggage with her. Naru's wedding was in two days and she has two days to prepare herself with a possible confrontation with him.

They arrived at the already paid luxurious hotel in England where Ayako and the rest of the former SPR team were waiting for her and Bou-san. She smiled when she saw them waving at her, even Masako was smiling. "Hey guys!" she greeted. They checked in in the lobby and headed to their respective rooms. Mai's room was a presidential room of course, since she's a paid celebrity. She found out that Madoka was actually the one who recommended her, not knowing that she was Mai. Knowing her ways, Mai knew he has no say to her decisions.

Two days passed by and it was his wedding day. She went to the church but she didn't make herself known. She stayed in the back and tried to avoid Lin's suspicious glare. After the wedding, they went to the reception located at a mansion just outside London. It was beginning to get dark and behind the mansion was a large garden where the reception is being held. It was the middle of Spring and the flowers were blooming. There were tulips, roses, carnations, and orchids. In front of a large fountain with a cupid statue was a dancing floor where she was destined to perform in a few minutes.

In her designated dressing room, Mai checked her hair and make up to make sure she looks beautiful and would be hard for anyone who doesn't know her secret to not recognize her, at least. A maid knocked on her door and handed her a hanger with her dress on it, neatly pressed. She thanked the maid and hanged the dress near the full body mirror. She opened it and saw her beautiful dress designed by her.

Bou-san and the rest of the former SPR team sat around a table destined for them near the main table. They were eating their dinner, talking about random things, and catching up with each other. When the Madoka announced that the singer eMTy is there to perform, she got all the people to cheer and clap. Mai heard the clapping and figured that she's not only known in Japan, she's also known in England and possibly the rest of the world. The lights dimmed around the garden for a few seconds and when one light turned on, there she was. The spotlight made Mai shimmer in her black dress with a plunging neckline. Her dress was floor length and it hugged her body but flared down on her heels. Her stilettos with a red ribbon on top was not as visible as she thought it would be. She has a simple pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. Her hair cascaded down on her shoulders and back. Her eyes were closed as she waited for the pianist to start playing. As if on cue the hired pianist started playing and she waited for her cue. With her eyes closed, she started singing and her sweet melodic voice echoed in the garden

I heard that you're settled down

That you found a girl and you're married now

I heard that your dreams came true

Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Mai opened her emotional eyes and the SPR team knew that the song was for him. 'She still loves him after all these years' Ayako thought as she watch her friend sing. Naru did not recognize her at first but when he saw her eyes, he knew it was her.

Old friend, why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

The other lights flashed on cue like the way they rehearsed it in the past two days. She gripped the mic on the mic stand as her favorite part of the song got closer. She dared not to look at him knowing that she'll break down if she does.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded

That for me it isn't over

Mai's eyes begin to water as the effect of her past flowed through her emotional state.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me, I beg

I remember you said,

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Yeah

Mai remembered how she called him once to explain everything. Starting from when she started falling for him to making it clear that he's the one that she loves, not his brother. But instead, he said, "Mai, sometimes in love it lasts but sometimes it hurts instead. I'm sorry" then he hung up.

You know how the time flies

Only yesterday was the time of our lives

We were born and raised

In a Summer haze

Bound by the surprise of our glory days

Bou-san and the rest knew she was hurting but they couldn't do anything or else they'll reveal her true identity. Masako knew that Naru knows that she was his former secretary by just looking at his surprised expression. His wife was too fascinated by eMTy and her voice to recognize her husband's look.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded

That for me it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me, I beg

I remember you said,

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Yeah

Lin noticed those brown eyes. Those very same brown eyes never looked so sad and hurt the last time he remembered. But now, he couldn't even describe how she was feeling. He knows that she loves Naru with all her heart and this, this whole event is probably making it worst.

Nothing compares

No worries or cares

Regrets and mistakes

They are memories made

Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me, I beg

I remember you said,

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

As the song draws close to the end, Mai couldn't help but cry, but she managed to keep her composure. Her voice was that was now shaking just made the whole song beautiful. It was full of emotions, she looked at the crowd and found them full of emotions as well. She looked at her friends and they all smiled at her, giving her the strength she needed to continue.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me, I beg

I remember you said,

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Yeah

At the end of the song, she looked at him, in his beautiful deep blue eyes. She gave him a small smile and held a glass full of red wine and said, "Congratulations to the newly weds!" and with that, she made her exit.

Naru stared where she once was while the rest of the guests clapped and talked about her song. His wife was smiling and she said, "Oliver, she's such a beautiful lady. She sang beautifully, what was her name again?"

"eMTy" he answered and smiled at his black haired wife.

"eMTy… For some reason, it feels as if she's empty, inside. You know what I mean, right?"

"Yes. Yes, I do. If you'll excuse me, I'd like to give thanks to our singer" he said and excused himself.

Mai rushed to her changing room and got changed quickly. She told her friends that she will be leaving England immediately after her performance. She packed her clothes and make up and rushed to the waiting cab by the gate. Once inside the cab, she saw the man the she loves walk inside the mansion, looking for her. "I'm sorry" she whispered. The cab drove away with Mai inside. That was the last time she'll see him. It was time for her to move on and forget about him. He's the past and it's not healthy to dwell on it.

Sorry it's not a happy ending. The song's not happy and I just based it off of that.
