Hello everyone! I'm a long time reader of fan fiction. I recently started writing because I had my wisdom teeth taken out and was hit with some inspiration. Oh course I do not own Ghost Hunt only the plot. Any criticism is welcome. I really want to improve my writing. So if you think I go on tangents or there's not enough action please let me know. Thank you for reading!

Prologue

The blue tint of the spiritual plane was all Mai could see. She lay on the unseen ground confused as to why she was there.

"Gene?" Her voice rang loudly and echoed several times making her voice distorted.

Mai looked around with wide eyes.

'Gene is usually here when I wake up. Where is he?'

Slowly she stood up her body aching. 'Why does everything hurt? Where's Gene?'

Mai looked around and tried to see if anything would appear.

She stopped.

She heard something in the distance. What was it? What was that sound? It grew louder the muffled voice seemed clear.

"MAI"

Chapter 1

"WAHH IM GOING TO BE LATE!" I rushed around trying to get my bags ready. The usual bangs and clangs filled my apartment. Every morning was the same! I can never wake up on time. I dressed as fast as I could and grabbed my bags with a small apple for breakfast. "Narus really going to fire me this time!" I got to the office twenty minutes late. I swear it was a new personal best. Heh, I must be getting better.

The bell on the front door rang loudly as I ran into the SPR building. " I'm here I'm here!"

Everyone was sitting down in the spacious couches. Well everyone except Naru and Lin that is. I breathed a huge sigh of relief. 'They must be in their offices.'

"Jou-chan !" Monk ran up and engulfed me in a giant hug.

"Bou-san I...can'ttt...breath."

He was still hugging me! Bou-san is a powerful monk and is like the older brother I never had. Even though we're not related by blood he still attends all my school events and helps me out with whatever he can. He's actually a member of a band and makes his living off of concerts and appearances. He even got me a phone! It's nothing fancy but I love it!

Bang!

"You pervert stop hugging her you're going to suffocate her!" Monk screams and finally lets me go. I gasp trying to get as must air as I can in. Thank goodness he let go! My face was tomato red!

Ahhh Ayako my saving grace. Ayako looked perfect as always. She has amazing red hair and is always dressed up. She's like the older sister I never had. Her and Bou-san started dating a few months ago. Sometimes you can never tell they actually love each other. Ayako works as a doctor and no matter how many scrapes I get into, in cases or not, she's always there for me. Her family owns a hospital and Ayako has offered me to live with her. I couldn't do that to her. I can live on my own! She's always there for me though and we talk everyday and meet when ever she's not busy with her job.

" Why don't we all just calm down. Shibuya-San should be back soon and then we can leave." That blond boy is John. Though he doesn't look like it he's actually a powerful priest. He's very sweet and helps out with the catholic churches around the city. He even lets me tag along and help out with the kids.

"Oh my my, the children have started to fight."

That was Masako. She's a famous median who senses spirits. She's also one of my best friends. She used to have a crush on Naru but gave up and started looking else where. Now she's dating a company heirs. Honestly though I don't think they're meant to be he doesn't treat her with love only with empty gestures. She'll figure it out though she's very intuitive. Masako's has even been helping me with my powers. I've been doing so much better! Well okay so she's been really busy and we've only had a few lessons but still!

Bou-san and Ayako barely heard her over their arguing. They were actually getting even louder!

Moh they never stop.

Suddenly I felt eyes on me and looked towards Naru's door. Uh oh. I guess I found Naru. I've known Naru for over over 3 years now. So I've gotten pretty good with knowing what he's feeling. So trust me when I say he was annoyed.

"Mai you're late." He stood by his door book in his hand and a messenger bag over his shoulder. His eyes were narrowed ever so slightly.

" I'm so sorry Naru I swear my alarm clock hates me!" I pleaded with him. He'd grown up since I met him. Even though he was still handsome age certainly agreed with him. Okay so maybe I still wasn't over my crush with him but come on! I can't explain it okay. Masako is always teasing me about how our souls call out to each other but I just ignore her.

Naru turned his attention from me and glared and Bou-san and Ayako.

" If you children are done I'd like to start the briefing for the case."

Ayako looked up from hitting Bou-san with her large designer hand bag and glared and Naru.

"Children! Who are you calling child you boy!" She put her hands on her hips her hair frizzing up in rage. Bou-san looked around Ayako to Naru and took the chance to escape.

Naru looked at her then turned to me, "Mai, tea."

"Hai Hai."

Naru turned around and looked at Ayako, "Unlike you Matsuzaki-san I do not cause a scene and throw tantrums like a child. If you would stop abusing Takigawa-san we might actually get work done."

Ayako sputtered but was led my Bou-san to the couch.

Once I came back with everyone's tea everyone was sitting down on the couches including Lin. Once I put the tea down on the table and handed Naru his tea I sat next to him.

"Yasuhara is unable to make it due to an upcoming test in his university courses but will be giving us information whenever possible. We will be leaving as soon as Mai finishes loading up the equipment." Naru glanced at me and and my cheeks puffed up in anger. Okay so what if I was late some of that stuff is really heavy! Ugh stupid narcissist.

" I am warning everyone this case will be dangerous. Our client is the owner of a western style mansion built in the late 20s. Though the location is almost a hundred years old the land is the one that holds the most importance. Everything from revolts and murders have taken place in the woods. No one I repeat no one will be left alone. Especially the women, everyone understands?"

Everyone looked at Naru faces serious. I had a bad feeling about this case.
