I do not own Ghost Hunt
I feel like ice
On a warm summer day
My body slowly melting
My life slipping away
You cannot find me
I do not hide
The monsters will get you
For they live deep inside
8 a.m. March 3rd
Mai leaned her head onto the car door watching her breath fog up the window. It was too early for her to be awake, and way too early for Naru's snarky attitude, but here she was. She sighed, mentally scolding herself for forgetting her Literature assignment on her bedside. She had slept past the alarm that she had set, and woke up with only twenty minutes before they were supposed to depart. Luckily she had packed he bag the night before, and had just barely made it to the door step when her phone went off once again to let her know she was late to work. And Naru of course had been like he always was, threatening to dock her pay if she showed up late again, insulting her intelligence, and then demanding not one, but two cups of tea. She let out another sigh and moved around in her seat to try and get comfortable.
"How about instead of whining you read over the case file I gave you?"
Mai shot up and pulled the file from her bag where she had tucked it away, "I wasn't whining thank you very much! And I did look at it, it was awful. Why would you have me look at the pictures of the victims?"
"I thought you would be capable of holding yourself together, the bodies aren't mutilated or bleeding. They are just bodies. You have seen worse."
Mai shuddered thinking back to one of their last cases in the prime minister's mansion where they had come in contact with the demon known as Urado. The images of the bones and blood everywhere popped into her mind and her body felt cold.

Mai froze, suddenly remembering the voice from her dream the night prior. It had been a weird dream that she didn't think had any significance to the case so she hadn't bothered to tell Naru, but now it was all she could think about. She had been floating in the sky feeling free like a bird, when the sky suddenly became dark and a voice started talking to her. Before she could even question anything she had woken up to her alarm.
"Mai!"
Mai jerked her head up, "Hnn?"
Naru gave her one of his famous glares then turned back around in his seat, "You know I don't like to repeat myself. I said read over the file. When we get to the site were going to discuss it, and I would prefer it if you actually participated in the conversation this time rather than stare off into space.''
Mai glowered as her face turned red, she could hear the smirk that was on his lips, "I do not stare off into space Naru. And anytime I do talk you just make fun of me."
"If you said something smart once in a while I wouldn't have to."
"Why you...!"
"Case file Mai, I don't pay you to play around."
Mai grumbled but opened it as he said. She scanned over it trying to bypass the photos of the victims. Naru was right it wasn't anything gruesome, in fact you couldn't tell that any of them were dead at all, however that was the scariest part. Each photo looked as if it was a normal picture of a person, each one had their eyes open and a horrid grin on their face. Mai shuddered and looked to read the information on the first person. It was a girl who looked like she was about Mai's age with short black curls and big brown eyes.
Watashi, Hikari
Age:19
05/12/01
Found in the well on the morning of March 12th. Cause of death is unknown.
Mai felt a pain of sadness go through her. This girl had died at such a young age and they still hadn't found out what had happened to her. Death itself was always hard for Mai, but for it to be someone so close to her age, it scared her. She looked at the next picture, a boy who also looked her age. He had long black hair and blue eyes.
Lee, Tomaru
Age:17
11/02/02
Found on the third floor balcony on the morning of November 2nd. Cause of death is unknown.
Poor kid. Mai looked between the two and tried to see if there was a connection, but she couldn't see any. There was also a year difference between the two murders. She picked up another picture to see if there was anything that she could find. This one was a girl with long blonde hair and bright green eyes, she looked foreign.
Allens, Bethany
Age:18
6/29/04
Found in the bathtub of room 4b on the morning of June 29th. Cause of death is unknown.
Looking at this one Mai was even more confused than she was before. She had nothing to go on and was worried the she was missing something obvious that Naru was going to mock her for later. She stared at it a little longer before deciding she was going to ask Naru what he thought. Better her make fun of her now than when everyone was around.
"Hey Naru…."
Her voice sounded weirder than it normally did, and almost sounded like it echoed.
"What Mai?"
His voice was soft and sounded so far away. She went to ask where he was going when she felt her body go cold and she became surrounded by darkness.

My legs hurt but I needed to keep going. I didn't want to be anywhere near those jerks who called themselves my friends. Friends DON'T push you down and take your bike in a game of fun. Friends DON'T make fun of you until you cry and then beat you up for telling you mom. They weren't friends, they were assholes. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't let myself. My father had asked me to be the man of the house and men didn't cry. I sat down where I was and pulled my knees to my chest. It had been three months since my father had passed away, and even through my mother tried her best, there were just too many of us for her alone.
Alone
I always felt alone.
I punched the ground, and let a sob escape my mouth.
So much for being the man of the house.
I stood up and brushed off my pants before continuing my walk. Just another mile or so and I would reach home, probably around the time that I was supposed to get out of school. Mom wouldn't notice anyways, but that's okay. My sisters needed her more than me. I didn't mind it.
NORMAL P.o.V
Everything went dark, and then Mai was back in the astral plane that was beginning to get used to. She felt confused wondering what that dream had meant, and who it was about. Was it somehow related to the case?
"Mai."
Mai turned around to see Naru walking towards her, smiling as he did. She felt her heart flutter and tried to keep the blush from her cheeks, "N-Naru. So I guess this dream was about the case. But what did it mean?"
Naru placed his hand on the side of her face, and Mai jumped and how cold it was.

"Naru?!"
Mai felt Naru's hand get colder and he looked up at her trying to conceal the shock on his face but not doing very well, "It's okay. You can do it."
Naru didn't move his hand and it became so cold that it began to burn, "Naru what's happening."
"Wake up Mai."
"N-Naru!"
"Wake up Mai.''
"Mai wake up."
