I don't own Ghost Hunt or Supernatural. Great now I want to cry. Way to bring a person down.
Her name was Sabina Rose and she was a psychic though she tried to keep that under wraps, especially from her "brothers". Her father had been a demon hunter, as had been all his friends and their children and they tended to despise anything paranormal. That included psychics.
When her father died she was taken in by one of her father's friend's sons. They were awesome and tried their best to take care of her though they were often out on hunts for months at a time. They did their best to keep her out of the hunts, wanting her to have more in life then they had. It was because of how much they wanted her to have a normal life that she kept her own hunting expeditions secret.
Sam and Dean never expected anything of her hunting when they moved to Japan, hoping to allow her a more normal life though they would be gone for longer spaces of time at a time. They even bought a nice house for her to live in, enrolled her in a school, and all that good stuff. Lets just say they tried to be good parents but… they both sucked at it.
"Sabina, you had better be good and not do anything to get kicked out of this school." Sam said in his oh so sensible voice. All things considered Sam was the more mature one of the two… actually of the three.
"I didn't do anything to get kicked out of the last two schools! I stand by the fact that the first boy slammed himself into the wall and gave himself a black eye. Where as the other one broke his own arm." Sabina's voice was calm as she lounged on the love seat in their new home. Her nose was buried in a book while Sam and Dean settled into lecture mode. 'Great, just what I want to listen too. Time to zone out."
Across town from the zoned out Sabina the SPR's members were on a case in a four story hotel. Once again Mai had managed to get hurt yet again but this time it hadn't been her fault, or at least not the fault of her clumsiness. Not this time, yet no one believed her.
Mai locked herself in the library under the false pretense that she was doing research and her homework. She didn't want to face her friends right away after getting hurt again, especially when they wouldn't believe her that the staircase had moved. She swore it hadn't been there moments before she was tumbling down the stairs at a breakneck speed. All they would say to her when she tried to bring it up was how she could have hurt more than a couple ribs and that she needed to be more careful.
Anger and hurt fought for dominance inside her. They should have known that the staircases moving was a definite possibility seeing how the person who came to them with the case had warned them that objects moving at random was ought to happen. He had told them that anything from doors to whole rooms where known to move. What made it so difficult to believe that a staircase would appear out of nowhere, right under foot?
Mai, with tears in her eyes and a heavy heart fell into one of her Gene sleeps, the type that pulled her into the spirit realm. Gene was there to meet her with his normal warm smile that seemed to always grace his face, that was until he got a good look at Mai's face.
"Mai, what's wrong?" his voice was filled with the worry he was feeling. Mai's eyes filled with tears.
"I ended up falling down a flight of stairs and I tried to explain to everyone that the staircase hadn't been there to begin with but no one believes me. They just keep telling me to be more careful." As she remembered how they had acted anger froze the tears in her eyes again as she looked up at Gene.
"One of the spirits trapped here was one of the builders of this hotel, he is the one who rearranges the things so it is no surprise that the staircase moved. It wasn't you fault this time." Gene gave her a hug when they suddenly heard a popping sound behind them. Turning Mai and Gene saw a light red haired girl with shoulder length hair, purple eyes, and she stood about 5'7. It was Sabina.
"Hey Geney my boy. Whose your friend?" she seemed bored yet she waggled her eyebrows at Mai and Gene.
"Sabina this is Mai, the girl I told you about. She works for my brother. Mai, this is Sabina, her brothers are demon hunters and, as you can see, she's a psychic that's been popping up here for the past month." Gene introduced the girls who smiled at each other warmly.
"It's nice to meet you Sabina." Mai said, her earlier sadness forgotten at the chance to make a new friend.
"It's nice to meet you to." Sabina grinned. "I had to escape my brothers' lecture. Why are you here? Not that its not a wonderful place to be with charming company!" She said with a completely straight face as Mai started laughing. Gene glared at the redheaded girl.
"Thank you so much. You are such a charmer, much like a snake I must say." He grinned. "Mai is here because I help her with cases, which she is on one."
Mai nodded with an almost sad look on her face. "Yeah. Unfortunately I have to go back and spend time with the oh so charming Naru and the rest of the gang. I don't really feel like bothering with them." Mia actually seemed depressed at the thought of going back though she knew she couldn't stay there for much longer before her body slowly began to shut off.
"You have to go back though Mai, you know what will happen if you don't. Plus Noll will go crazy without your tea." Gene informed the sad Mai as Sabina stood nearby with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Why don't you go into my body and I go into yours? That way neither of us have to deal with what we don't want to deal with right now." Sabina suggested, eyes bright. Mai couldn't help perking up at the suggestion.
"Could we really? I mean that would be awesome if I didn't have to go back right away. I was trying to avoid them by locking myself in a room but I know that won't work forever." She looked so eager and happy even Gene gave up the protests he was about to say.
"Yes we can do it. We'll need Geney's help but we can manage it. Are you up to give it a try?" Sabina asked, excitement twisting her insides in knots.
"YES!!!" Mai yelled. She looked eagerly at Sabina. "Is there anything I need to know about you before we do this?"
Sabina nodded. "My brothers, Sam and Dean, they don't know I'm a psychic and I would like to keep it that way. I'm reading a book right now at home but when you arrive if you just stand up and walk away they should leave you alone. You can head to my room, its top floor, last room on the right. Anything I should know?" They both seemed eager to do the switch.
"Um. Not really. They all know about my dreams. The only thing is stay away from Lin-san. He is mine.. He just doesn't know it yet. And please don't tell him I said that!" Mai panicked, realizing what she had said. Sabina smiled and shook her head.
"Don't worry, I won't tell a soul. Ready to do thi… Oh wait, Gene needed to say something about the case right?" Sabina and Mai both turned to look at the young man in black. It seemed they had forgotten he was there.
"GEEE thank you, you two. Way to make me feel warm and fuzzy inside." He said sarcastically before his tone turned serious. "There are many ghosts in this building, most are harmless enough but there are a few you should worry about." The library in which Mai had locked herself came into view around them. Gene led the two girls over to a stack of books in the dark recesses of the library. "In these books lay the answers to this case." His voice was all grim and eerily before suddenly brightening, completely on the other end of the spectrum. "So what do you need my help with to switch bodies."
"When I pop in from Mai's body I'm going to need you to bring her here seeing as you told me she can't do it herself. She just doesn't have that power. So it falls to you. Got that?" Before Gene could even get a nod or a word in edge wise Sabina and Mai both disappeared into each others bodies.
Sabina came to on desk covered with books and to the sound of someone yelling Mai's name from the other side of the locked door. Sabina looked around, slightly disoriented before settling into the body she was in. She got up and headed towards the books Gene had showed her and Mai, wanting to get a jump start on reading them while she had some peace and quiet..
"MAI OPEN THIS DOOR!! MAI! ARE YOU IN THERE!?" a man's voice yelled from the other side. 'Well maybe not peace and quiet..' Sabina thought with a small groan.
"HOLD ON ONE MINUTE YOU INPATIENT LITTLE PRICK!!" Sabina yelled back, angry at the distraction from researching. She had wanted to get a general sense of what was going on before meeting Mai's SPR group.
Sabina went over to the obviously offensive door and unlocked it. Letting the person on the other side in. It happened to be Bou-chan though she didn't know it.
"Yeesss? Can I help you, seeing as you were oh so eager to have me opening this door just a moment earlier?" Sabina's voice was sarcastic as she looked through the door at Bou-chan. He took a step back in shock as he stared at the girl in front of him before grabbing her by the arm and dragging her towards the rest of the crew.
He slammed the door to the base open and dragged Sabina in behind him. The girl didn't struggle, having already guessed what he assumed had happened.
"Mai got herself possessed again." The monk declared. All heads turned towards the girl in question. Sabina stared back at them, taking in the wide array of people before her, who were all staring at her.. And slowly beginning to creep her out.
*Sabina's POV*
"Will you cut that out?! Didn't your mammas ever teach ya its impolite to stare?!" I snapped at them, pointing at them with the hand not in the grasps of the man who had dragged me into the room full of impolite miscreants.
The man dressed all in black was the first to snap back to himself. "It is also impolite to point yet that doesn't seem to keep you from doing it." His voice was calm and his sapphire blue eyes showed nothing. 'Hmm… this must be the narcissistic jerk Mai wanted to get away from. What was his name again?'
I smirked slightly, which probably looked strange on Mai's face. "You must be Naru. No one else gives off the aura of narcissistic like you do." My eyes roved over the rest of the people gathered around me. A tall Chinese man drew my eyes next, after the oh so handsome narcissist. "You must be Lin-San." He nodded at me before I finished looking at the rest of the people gathered. I hadn't a clue in the world who they were.
"Okay. We gathered she isn't Mai. Who is she and what part does she play in the haunting of this hotel?" the guy holding my wrist stated. I was starting to get annoyed because he had yet to let go and I hated being touched. Call me touch-aphobic.
"Well bravo Captain Intuition. Want some brownie points for that stunning observation?" I looked at him with a raised eyebrow that would have done Naru justice. "Oh and I have nothing to do with this case your on. Heck, I'm not even a ghost." I looked around the room, bored with the converstion and wanting deeply to get back the library.
"You don't even know your dead?" one of the other women in the room asked, the one not wearing a kimono and sending me ehhhhhhhh feelings.
"Um.. I'm not dead…. Not last time I knew.. It would really put a damper on Mai's situation if I were dead, though I would get to annoy Gene more often." I muttered, mostly talking to myself. Somewhere in the back of my mind I heard Gene's voice screaming "NOOO DON'T LET HER BE DEAD!!"
I coughed to cover a laugh at the panic in Gene's voice. I don't think he was very much concerned for my well being inasmuch as his sanity. Naru raised an eyebrow.
"How is that supposed to convince us that your not dead? And why would Mai want to let someone come back to her body?" The guy holding my wrist asked. I growled slightly.
"She let me come back to her body because she didn't want to have to deal with ya'll. I think it has to do with the fact that you were all assholes and didn't believe her when she was trying to tell you something. Which reminds me.. Mai's ribs hurt." I growled it at them, giving them a glare that could have frozen a polar bear. Each one of them looked hurt in their own way, even Lin and Naru.
"Let's say we believed" the woman with the really big and heavy looking purse started but I interrupted her.
"Fine I will prove I am alive." I whipped out Mai's cell phone and dialed my own cell number from memory. Mai picked it up after the first ring, probably recognizing her cell number. I have to say it was really weird to hear my own voice over the phone, ranks up somewhere in the top forty weird things factor.
"Hey, I have your lovely gang with me right now. Bunch of charmers they are. They think I'm dead and possessing you and some dude won't let go of my wrist until I prove otherwise. Wanna tell them I'm not dead. I'll put you on speakerphone so you can say I'm not then I'll take you off so you don't have to talk to any of them. Okay?" I talked into the phone, imagining it was just as weird for Mai to hear her voice as it was for me to hear mine.
"Yeah, I can do that." I put the phone on speaker and held it out. "She's not dead." came out of the speakers before I put it back on regular and put it back up to my ear. "I love you brothers. They are really amusing. I ducked out of the room a few seconds after I landed in your body but I listened to a bit of that lecture you were getting. They do realize it doesn't make a bit of sense don't they?" Mai's voice was excited as she talked to me. Smiling happily at the excitement of the other girl I ignored the people around me.
"Well I talk to you later Mai, I gotta settle this with the Peanut Gang. Have fun." I grinned as we both hung up.
"So we now know your not dead." The guy finally let go of my wrist.
