Naru was sitting in comfort on his black desk chair facing me, head down with his black hair covering his eyes, reading a silver, thick, looking book when I walked in. I shut the door as quietly as I could so I didn't disturb him, and his eyes stayed fixated on the pages. "Tea." he said loudly, flipping a page in his book without looking up, I jumped, calm down Mai, it's just Naru….damn it, why is he so handsome, I thought. Now staring at him and smiling for no reason, he still hadn't moved, so I took a deep breath and shut my eyes.

"Um…Naru there are some clients here to see you…" I said looking at him gingerly, at that moment he looked up and stared at me. Our eyes met, and I suppressed a shiver as he looked away and shut the book with a loud BANG. In one fluid motion he rose from his chair and put the book down, making a little squeak as he did.

"Did you let them in?" He asked, walking towards the door, I nodded not taking my eyes off him, and he opened the door with out hesitation knowing I was there. He slammed the door into my shoulder. Stupid narcissistic bastard.

"OW!" I exclaimed loudly, and shoved the door the other way so it hit Naru on the collar bone. When he grunted and walked out, I smirked vindictively and followed, to find the clients were sitting on the couch outside Naru's office.

The two looked very upset, a young girl about my age, maybe older, sat with her head down. She had long light blond hair in two plaits that hung over her shoulders and she wore a school uniform so I guess they were from a high school.

Next to her was an older man, who looked amazingly like Monk-san only with shorter hair and a bit older. He looked up when we walked out.

"Are….are you the head of this place" he said staggering in his voice but sitting perfectly still. Naru didn't answer.

"What seems to be the problem?" Naru said sitting down on the opposite couch.

"Please you have to help, you're our last hope!" He pleaded, shifting a bit under Naru's cold gaze.

"Mai, tea." Naru said again turning his head to face me.

"Yes sir…" I groaned, slowly turning away.

He may be handsome but he can be a real pain in the ass sometimes, I thought walking over to the kitchen. I could still hear them talking.

"I'm Kazuya Shibuya and you are…?" Naru said, cold and business like, like always. "I'm…..I'm Mr. Manner of Rallins boarding high school" He answered, staggering again over his words.

Boarding high school? I thought as I poured the tea into a porcelain cup quietly, listening in.

"I see…and you?" He asked calmly, there was a long silence I looked out of the kitchen door to find Naru looking very impatient and the man comforting the young girl who had still not risen her head- he was patting her back looking worried

"I'm sorry, she's my student- her name's Emily." The man said still patting her back, Naru just glared at them. I felt bad for them- here they were asking for help and all Naru can do is glare at them! I had to do something…TEA! I yelled mentally I spun round and ran to the bench where the tea was sitting- it was still hot, so I sighed in relief, picking up the porcelain cups and placing them on a silver tray, then ran out the kitchen trying not to spill the tea.

"Here you go!" I exclaimed with joy written on my face as I placed the cup down in front of Naru.

"So what is your business here?" Naru said not moving a muscle.

NOT EVEN A THANK YOU AGAIN! I screamed in my mind with fury glaring at him wishing he would go up in flames.

"Our school- students either go missing or commit suicide, ghosts have been appearing, there have been murders and so many other horrible things" He said weakly now facing Naru then it hit me-

"Wait you're the school in the paper!" I exclaimed, picking up the daily paper off the table and holding it up.

"Yes, that's our school." he gloomily said looking down, Naru looked rather interested.

"When do you want us to get started?" Naru said slightly squirming in his seat and the man looked up and started to smile.

"As soon as possible!" He said sounding joyful, it made me smile too.

"We don't need their help," The girl said, still not raising her head.

"Emily we do, you know that…" Mr. Manner started looking at her.

"NO WE DON'T!" she screamed clenching her fists "THEY'LL ONLY END UP DYING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!" she screamed again.

Naru just sat there- I don't know how he could be so cool at a moment like this. "THAT'S NOT TRUE!" I yelled back, she jumped and looked at me but then putting her head back down again.

"Please, we'll try to help all we can." I said, putting my hand on her shoulder, she looked up at me- as our eyes met I got the strangest though. They seemed faded as if her pupils were fading into her light blue eyes… I quickly shook the thought off.

"Thank you." She said quietly, looking down, but she was smiling. I felt good, happy and a huge grin grew across my face.

"How about Monday?" Mr. Manner said looking back at Naru who, remarkably was still sitting there. I forgot he was there, I thought looking at him.

"What about Sunday?" Naru said, forgetting I work with him and I might have plans on Sunday

"That'd be great!" Mr. Manner said, delighted.

"I guess we should you back to school," He said to Emily. She smiled slightly and stood up,

"Thank you," He said to Naru as he got up to and walked toward the door.

"MORNIN' ALL!" Monk-san yelled, his smile quite big as he burst open through the door and walked in followed by John.

"Hi," He said warmly with his little smile.

"Oh…sorry, I hope we weren't interrupting anything…" Monk-san said, looking at Naru who had just got up from the couch.

"These are our new clients." I said smiling and walking over to them. Monk-san grasped my arm, pulled me up to him and hugged me.

"So how's little Mai-chan going?" He asked hugging me closer and winking at me as I looked up at him.

"M…Monk-san" I stuttered. I couldn't talk then as I felt myself going red, so I pulled away.

"Monk-san, please." I was blushing harder now.

"Doin' anything on Sunday?" He asked, smiling so sweetly.

I just grunted.

John just stood there smiling like he had no care in the world.

"Do you work with Shibuya-chan?" Mr. Manner asked looking at John, who was STILL smiling.

"You could say that," John said looking at Monk-san, who was nodding.

"I see….well it was nice to meet you, but we better get going."

Mr. Manner said smiling and walked pass Monk-san toward the door.

"We?" Monk-san said looking confused.

"Emily, come on!" Mr. Manner said holding the door open.

"Coming!" Emily yelled, running over to the door.

"OH, hi," Monk-san said as she ran past him.

"Hi," She replied, now at the door she started to wave and Mr. Manner shut it behind them.

"Bye……" I said just before the door made a loud BANG as it shut, but all of a sudden it opened again.

Emily was standing at the door, she ran in and picked up Mr. Manners jacket that he had left on the couch smiling at me and walked to the door but before she got pass Monk-san there was a scream- a loud terrified scream.

It's Mr. Manner! Wait was I right?

I could here my heart beat was it….him?

Emily's eyes widened and she dropped the jacket, ran to the door and flinging it open, no one was there.

"S….Sir….SIR!" she screamed, running out of the door way.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Monk-san yelled, she just stood there.

"Hey," Monk-san said walking up to her. I couldn't see much from where I was standing but as I saw them just stand there, they started to look up.

"NARU!" Monk-san yelled grabbing Emily's arm and pulling her back and Naru came running smashing into me along the way but saying nothing.

ONE OF THESE DAYS NARU! I screamed mentally glaring at him like he would at me.

I looked over at John who was just standing there wide eyed.

Monk-san pulled Emily back into the office as Naru ran passed.

"You ok?" Monk-san asked Emily, letting go of her arm she nodded and walked over to me. She stood there next to me, I looked at her worried eyes.

"Do you wanna sit down?" I asked looking concerned and again she didn't answer- she just shook her head.

"Ok," I said looking at Naru and Monk-san looking up at…..whatever it was they were looking at.

Naru walked back in.

"How long has this been going on for?" He asked Emily looking at her with his scary serious eyes.

"How long has what been going on?" She asked back, still looking down.

"The writing." He said and her head jolted up.

"F…for a while, all the messages are different and have been since this started." She said looking back down.

"ARGH!" Monk-san screamed from outside.

"MONK-SAN WHAT IS IT?" Naru yelled spinning around.

"SOME OF IT DRIPPED ON ME!!" He screamed, running into the room.

"IT'S IN MY EYES!" He screamed again, crouching down and rubbing his eyes frantically.

"John go get Monk-san a cloth," Naru said taking his eyes off Monk-san and focusing them on John.

"Um…yeah ok," John said standing still for a moment then running into the kitchen. "HURRY UP JOHN!!" Monk-san screamed still frantically rubbing his eyes

"Monk-san what did you get in your eyes" I asked trying not to get on his nerves. "BLOOD, IT WAS BLOOD!" He screamed again, he sounded like he was in pain-

Wait a minute…B…Blood? I asked myself staring at Monk-san.

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JOHN HURRY UP!!!" Monk-san screamed louder "Coming!" He yelled running in with a wet tea towel.

"Here.." he said giving it to Monk-san and Monk-san just snatched it off him.

"So I guess we're coming sooner than we thought," I said looking at Emily smiling. "Yeah, I guess" she said back, smiling as well.
