Hiya Guys,

I wanted to go back to basics and try another Ghost Hunt Fan-fiction, last couple of days I've been rereading my old stories.
One: My Grammar is terrible, Two: I forget the most easiest details, Three: My writings terrible, well, considering I had never wrote a story in my life around that time and now I've taken Creative Writing at Uni and College I feel, or rather, hope, my writing is much better then it used to be.

So, I'm going to give this a go, as most of you know, the ones that have previously read my other fan-fictions you know that I incorporate a lot of music into my stories, I love music and how so much emotions comes from songs.

I STAND WITH MANCHESTER AND LONDON!

I live in the UK and what has happened this last couple of weeks has hit home and after Ariana Grande's performance yesterday you can see that Music brings so much, love, power.

So anyway, lets get on with this one shot.

The songs I have chosen are from various artist. Each one is different but are in the order I choose them for a reason.
I hope you enjoy the story.


Chapter One: The CD.


Thumbing the CD in her hands. Mai's hands trembled.
Inside this CD was her life. All her thoughts and feelings laid out. Staring at the small cool object in her hands Mai debated throwing it in the bin and not even giving it away. She had a story to tell you see. In her hands was this story and she wanted to show it.
Now, who she was giving these CD to was the question. Could she even hand it over to him?
Sighing softly Mai looked up and towards the door. Could she leave her safe apartment in which she had been hold up in since she had lost her job.
You see Naru had told her he was returning to England now he had found his brothers body. Mai knew that maybe this would happen, she knew he would have to leave. This shattered her heart and she felt like she had express her ever growing feelings to her cold boss.
She didn't even want to replay that night.
Thinking about it aloud tears to well up in her eyes.
He rejected her.
Scratch that.
He asked if she was in love with his dead brother.
Cue knife to the heart.
How could he had ever say that-
Mai clenched her eyes closed, she didn't want to keep thinking about that night. The whole reason the CD rested in her hands is she had to the conclusion that she needed to give him something that explain her feelings.
You see, Mai had a knack from writing songs. Ever since her parents died it was a away to allow her emotions flow. She let her thoughts dance on to the page. Music expressed her bad times, it explored her good times and it aloud Mai to relax when times were rough.
Mai stared down at the CD again long and hard.
Could she really do what she wanted?
What if he never actually listen to the songs? Could she really let him hear the emotions and was she really going to give him a second chance after her first confession.
Mai knew she needed to do this. This was closure for her if he really wasn't coming back.
Once Mai had calmed down after that night, she decided she would create this playlist. Most of the songs had already been written and over the 2 weeks before he left she was able to finish the CD. Being locked up in her apartment gave her plenty of time to sort that, among looking for another job. Lucky for her Masako had jumped in straight away. Mai's ever growing powers was something Masako thought would help out on her TV show. Masako had seen the way Mai was after that night and her own heart broke. She wanted nothing more than to help the girl she had previously hated.
So, starting from next week, they would both be jetting off to the next venue Masako had to film.
A knock interrupted Mai's erratic thoughts. Monk had finally arrived.
It was time to face the music.
Mind the Pun.
Could she really do it?
Mai sighed and slowly walked towards the door, each step harder than the last.
Opening the door Monk stood there, his face emotionless. His eyes burning with sadness for Mai.
He had also tried to help her.
Monk music career was already on it's way to being phenomenal and all he wanted was to give Mai a chance to just express her music. Monk was her inspiration to the CD in her hand. Monk's idea of expressing herself gave her the idea in the first place.
"You okay, Jou-chan?" he whispered.
Mai stared long into his eyes.
She couldn't give it Naru. She couldn't hand the CD over. Shoving the object into Monks chest like it burned her hands, tears drifted down her face.
"Ple-ase," she trembled.
"Please give this to Naru,"
Monk stared at the sobbing teenager before him. His heart melting and splitting for the heartbreak written across her face.
"Okay, Jou-chan."
Mai smiled sadly at him before stepping back into her safety net.
"Thank you Bou-san, I-" she paused and looked at her shaky hands.
"I can't face him."
Monk nodded his head and turned not knowing what to say to the broken girl.
"See you soon Mai," he whispered throwing his hand up in the air as goodbye.
Not having the words Mai slowly closed her door, turning slowly she began to sob, sliding down the door in trembles.
She couldn't even say goodbye.
All that was left was hope that he heard the CD.
That was her goodbye.
Mai sobs grew and echoed her apartment.
She was now truly alone.


Monk was curious.
The small object that lay in his hands had melted Mai to tears. Why couldn't she have the strength to give it to him. Standing with their rag tag group in the airport Monk mustered the courage and looked over at their ex-boss.
"She wanted to you to have this," Monk whispered, handing the CD over to the tea-addict.
Naru stared emotionless at the round object held in front of him. Naru was behind confused as to why Mai couldn't hand the CD to him herself. Maybe she was busy. As Naru took the CD from Takigawa he felt a wave of sadness rush over his body. His PK has picked up on the emotion radiating from the small object.
His eyes widen slightly before slipping it into his jacket pocket.
"Why couldn't she give it to me herself," he asked quietly looking at the group. Monk sighed softly, looking away from the teenager, was he that dense to not actually realise what's on that CD. Monk had a faint clue as to what was on there. He could also see that in the case there was a slip of paper, that probably held all the answers as to why he was handing the CD over.
Shrugging softly the Monk rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"She was busy packing, Masako's taking her away to her new job soon, she was so busy and frantic." he lied smoothly.
Monk knew Lin probably picked up on the lie, Naru however seemed to accept the answer. Turning away Naru looked towards their gate, it was time to leave.
"Lin," he spoke shouldering his bag.
Lin nodded towards the group as they looked sadly on at the pair. It was time for a new chapter in all of their lives and that didn't include their narcissist boss and his guardian.


Noll shifted in his seat on the plane, they were roughly half way through their journey when he thought about the CD in his pocket. Why had Mai given it to Takigawa to give to him? Why couldn't she come say goodbye. Noll was confused as what caused the girl to be, dare he say it, afraid to say goodbye. He couldn't think of a reason as to why she would be afraid to see him one last time before he moved away. In all sense, she had said goodbye that dark evening but to him that night tugged uncomfortably on his heart strings.
Gene.
Gene had everything.
Gene was perfect.
Gene held Mai's heart.
Noll stomach lurched at the thought, dare he say it, he wished that was him. Sighing softly, Noll pulled his laptop up onto the small shelf in front of him and proceeded to enter the disk. A window popped up and on it was 7 files.
Seven songs.
Noll raised his eyebrow at the names of each song. Looking at the case he took the small paper that was folded up inside and read what Mai had to say.

Naru, Kazuya, Oliver,
I don't know what to call you anymore-

Thank you.
Mai.

Noll stared in disbelief at the note in his hand. Was that all she had to say? Looking between the note and laptop he knew that there was probably more to be said in the audio files. Putting his headphones on which earned a strange look from Lin, Noll played the first file.


Thank you for reading this chapter.

It had taken me a at least three hours to write this. Some of the songs coming up in the following chapters have hit home and they are going to be quite emotional to write as some of the aspects of this story resonate with me.

Thank you again.
If you could READ AND REVIEW.

It would help me see if I have developed, how my writing is and if you like the first Chapter in general.

Peace out: DemonHairedandBlueEyed.
