Writing this story came to me from a nightmare I was seeing at night so here it is. Hope you like it ^^

February 10

Its just one of those same and ordinary days at work... Like those that come just before the big storm...

'It actually has been a long time since we got a big case and it feels strange' Mai thought and sighed.

But before she could think anything more a familiar shouting voice snapped her back.

"Mai where is my tea?" Naru's irritated voice could be heard from the office.

Mai sighed and took the cup of tea to the office where Naru was sitting and watching her annoyed. She put the cup on the desk and turned around to leave when Naru speaked.

"Oh and Mai today we will have a client so be ready and don't screw up" Naru sighed and continued reading his book.

Mai growled and smacked the door shut with a loud thud before sitting on a couch mumbling under her breath.

'Stupid narcissist. You think everyone is lower than you' she muttered jusr when she heard the bell on the door ringing. She turned around a saw a tall elder man with grey hair entering.

"Hello this is SPR right?" he asked smiling at Mai while walking closer to her.

"Yes this is SPR. You must be the client we were expecting. Nice to meet you my name is Mai" she said and smiled at the man.

"Same here. I am Keisuke and I hope you can help me" he said and extended his arm to Mai. Mai took his hand and everything went black.

Mai was now standing in the middle of a dimly lighted room. Which was unknown to her. She looked around and saw a big desk which was full of old books but something was pulling her to it.

'It must be one of those kind of dreams again. But I just in the office talking to the new client' she thought while walking over to the desk.

Looking at it u close she could she it was quite old and a little dusty with books thrown on it. The most strange thing about it was a collection of a bunch of small crystal balls that were shining at the little light in the room. There was something familiar about them but Mai couldn't remeber where she had seen them before.

She shaked the feeling away and was about to touch one of them when she heard a familiar voice.

"Mai wake up.. Mai.. MAI" Naru's voice was a little anxious but it coudn't be right? Naru never was anxious.

She opened her eyes and saw Naru, Lin and the elder man looking at her. The elder man was pale and shocked but what surprised was Naru's eyes. His eyes weren't cold as always, there was something different in them which she couldn't describe. As for Lin he was a little worried but that was all.

She sat up and smiled at the man who was still shocked.

"Sorry for scaring you all of a sudden I am fine now" she said and saw the man smiling back.

"Its ok as long as you are ok" he said and sat at the couch across her.

"Mai did you have one of those dreams again?" Naru asked with his usual voice. She looked up and saw he was back to normal. The cold Naru she knew.

Mai nodded and explained her dream while Lin was taking notes on his laptop like always. When she finished she saw the man looking at her with interest.

"I knew I came to the right place when I saw you here my sweet Mai" he said and all three of them -yes even Lin and Naru- looked at him shocked.

"D-do you know me?" Mai stuttered from the shock.

"I have known you since you were small actually"

"Explain yourself" Naru said with a chilly voice.

"I haven't completely introduced myself yet. How bad of me. My name is Keisuke, Taniyama Keisuke. I am Mai's grandfather" and just with that they all froze looking at the man who called himself being Mai's grandfather.

"But I thought all of my family had died" Mai said still shocked.

"Let me explain. You may not remember but you used to come with your parents at my house since I am your father's dad, but some years ago your family disappeared and I couldn't find you anywhere when I heard my son died. I have been searching for years until now. You see there is something wrong with the house and I decided to find someone to help but I never thought I would see you here. You look so much like your mother" after that being said he went silent.

Naru sat next to Mai and looked at Keisuke.

"What is wrong with your house?" he said.

"Well you see as Mai said there is a collection of twelve small crystal balls in my office but when I went to search for my son all of them disappeared. At times they will appear in the house somewhere but the next second they will be in another place. Also at night I can hear screams from other rooms and lights will start flickering all of a sudden"

"So this collection consists of twelves balls?" Naru asked.

"At the beginning there were thirteen balls but this started happening after I gave the one away"

"If you gave it away then who has the last one?"

"Mai has it" he said while looking at her.

Naru and Lin turned and looked at Mai who was lost in thought.

"Ah wait you mean this?" she searched in her pocket and took out a black bracelet with a small crystal ball on it which glimed to the light.

"Yes thats the one. You loved it so much that I made it in a bracelet and gave it to you before you disappeared" he said smiling.

"I can remember someone giving it to me but my memory is so blurry" Mai said and looked at Naru. "What will we do? Will we take the case?"

"We will. I want to see where this will go" he said with his head on his chin. "I think Mai this time you are the key to this case"

Naru sighed and got up.

"Please leave your information to Mai and we will be there as soon as possible" he said and then walked into his office.

So thats it for now. I hope you liked it and please R&R
