GHOST HUNT:

I walked into the office at 8:07 am. I sneakily got to my desk before hearing-"I know you just got here, Mai. I`ll deduct from your pay this week and….Tea." He shouted from he`s office door. I mentally kicked myself for being late but it wasn't my fault…It was that dream…

2:32 AM:

I looked around to see a dark passage and the smell of blood. I felt nausea swarm my senses as I moved forwards. A dark figure of a woman came at me with a knife. "You wont escape…Ill kill you if it means ill rot in a cell…You will pay for taking Jun away from me! YOU`LL PAY AKANE!" She screeched. I got a faint look of her. She had waist length brown hair and green eyes. Obviously part foreign. She stabbed my with the knife in the arms 3 times each arm. Then the legs the same amount and slowly cut around my stomach. Making sure to make the pain last for aslong as possible. Then she stabbed me in the heart. I screamed till the energy left me. It went black and I woke up.

PRESENT TIME:

I started to boil the tea when I felt nausea cover me. I was holding the handle of the cheap metal pot and fell back. The pots boiling water flew onto my left leg and the pot broke into bits of metal, One piece going into my left leg, too. I screamed as the pain finally reached me. "Mai!" I heard Naru shout. He and Lin were probably at the door. Lin came over and started carefully wiping the water away. The weirdest thing was, I didn't cry. Not one tear. It felt…normal. I made a stoitic face, though my eyes showed fear and pain. "Ai…Ai…Mai!" Naru shouted. They had already bandaged me up. "Huh? Yeah?" I answered. "Are you alright? You didn't make a sound or respond for ten minutes." Lin calmly said, Though worry was flashing in hes eye like a police siren. "Im fine, What happened?" I looked at my leg. "You don't remember?" Lin asked. I shook my head. "Im surprised you are such an idiot you forgot something that will keep you limping for a little while. "Naru slyly smirked. "Damn Narcissist." I grumbled, Sitting up and trying to stand. "Mai, Careful, You will hurt yourself again." Lin warned. I stood on my feet. It hurt…A LOT. But I tried to ignore it. "Doesn't it hurt?" Lin asked. "It does…Really bad. But what im wondering is this is the most you`ve said in one conversation." I chuckled. "Ill be fine in a day or two…" I said, Reassuringly. After that, I was sent home for the day.

The next day I got into work earlier than usual. I mean REALLY early. 7:15… Fifteen minutes after the office opens. "Mai, What are you doing here so early?" Naru asked. " I couldn't sleep so I came early." I grinned. "Well, We have a case." He said. "A woman at a house here in Tokyo claims she always hears nursery rhymes. This one in particular. `One magpie two magpie Always have bad luck-" I interrupted him. "Three magpie spots a crow. Never to see tomorrow…" I finish off. "How did you know?" He asked. I didn't answer.

THE HOUSE:

When we finally made it to the house, We saw that it was big. Two story house with probably lots of big rooms. I helped unpack the equipment. I took a monitor in and went to the room I was told. First floor a room with a green door and a number 16 on it. AKA the ex-study. I put the monitor on the table before leaving to get another one.

After all that was done, The others except John and Masako arrived. "Ayako! Monk!" I ran to them. "Jou-chan!" Monk squeezed the life outta me. "Get off her you old man! Anymore and we`ll have to exorcise her!" Ayako hit Monks head. "Shut it you old hag!" They started fighting. "Mai. Tea." Naru called. "Yes, Narcissist, Sir!" I ran to the kitchen. (I had a floor plan) And made him tea. On the way back, I saw a dark hallway of the house with a couple white lights floating up. "I was just…bringing tea to naru…" I muttered before looking around. I saw nothing then what I did before.

LINS POV:

I was watching the monitors…Watching Mai come back when I noticed something. She was pale. She stopped walking and looked at the camera and fainted, Tea spilling on the carpet. I couldn't move until I saw her get up. `Phew…` Filled my mind until I looked at her again. Her eyes were glazed over and lifeless. She looked almost…Dead. "Naru!" I shouted.

NARUS POV:

"Naru!" Lin shouted. I jerked my head to the monitor. Mai was eerily grinning at the camera with lifeless eyes. "Shes possessed." I stated. "Damn it. Mai." The screen turned to static.

I ran down the hall to find the floor covered in tea and smashed pieces of cups and words written in blood. "You`ll pay, Akane." I muttered. I noticed Mai`s necklace. It was a silver chain with a mini-bottle around 1cm wide 2 cm long. Inside was a red liquid, Presumably blood. That wasn't the problem though. Mais missing…

KAREOKE: Well, A cliff hanger for Y`all!

MAI: Why did I have to go missing?!

KAREOKE: You`re the ghost magnet…*Coughs* Hope you enjoyed!
