Well, here we go folks, chapter two.
YEA! WOOO! CELEBRATIONS! COFFEE AND ANIMAL CRACKERS ALL AROUND!
So before we begin, I would like to thank every one who reviewed, you are amazing people! I would also like to thank those who favorited and followed this story as well.
You guys are the reason I love writing so much.
Oh, I revised, special thanks to AmayaSarana, for pointing out the missing names! I didn't even notice -_-'
Here we go, chapter 2!
The Hanki house was magnificent to say the least. It was large, the white brick exterior stood high, over looking a great garden with a glistening fountain and red and yellow flowers peppered about deep green bushes.
There were many uniformed men and women working about the yard and most likely in the house as well.
Ms. Hanaki stood on the porch, watching over the progress on her grounds, and waved us over as soon as we caught her eye. She smiled, but it seemed fake. Forced, like she was nervous we were here, but also grateful for the fact.
"Welcome, I have your rooms and a base set up, as upon your request, will you be needing anything else?" She asked, I saw her eyes shift towards me and they remained there for sometime before looking ahead once more.
I suppressed a shiver and took a small, almost unseen step back. Well almost unseen, Naru glanced at me then cleared his throat.
"No, that will be all thank you."Naru said turning towards the van. I guess he's going to help us unload the equipment, or just supervise and act superior. If I knew Naru, and I like to think I do, then I know the choice is the latter.
He never helps us unload...
Oh...I guess I should explain who 'us' is.
Simple, we're SPR. We're sort of a rag tag team. Each of us is unique, in more ways then one if I may add.
First there's Lin Koujo. He's a tall silent Chinese man whom watched over Naru since he was a kid, and now he works for him as an assistant. Talk about a bummer. He has black hair that over hangs and covers his eye, which are a typical brown. Lin is an omnioji, which pretty much means he can make contracts with spirits and make other sorts of interesting charms. He doesn't say much, but he's strong, and protective...even If he doesn't like me much.
Next, there's Houshou Takigawa. Everyone on SPR just calls him Monk, well minus Lin and Naru of course. He has long light colored brown hair, pulled back in a pony tail and a caramel color for his eyes. He's tall, not as tall as Lin, but not many people are. We call him Monk, well, because that's what he is. He doesn't seem very Monk like however. He's extremely out going and even plays in a band. He's funny and very fatherly towards me. Him and John are usually the ones doing the exorcism's on the case.
Speaking of John. John Brown is a priest from Australia. He has blond hair and blue eyes, a weird combination to see in Japan, but I like John. No, not in that way, I thought we already established that I like Naru. Anyway, John is soft spoken and doesn't really like when people argue and ultimately tries to stop them. That doesn't always end well, sometimes he gets himself pulled into the mix. John is only nineteen, but he's mature and brave for his age.
Then there's Ayako. Matsuzaki Ayako. A red-haired, fashion forward Miko. That's right, she's a shrine maiden. She doesn't really do anything but argue and play doctor though. Well unless there are living trees in the area anyway, 'cause then she kicks some serious backside. Ayako is kind of like a mother to me, always making sure I'm fine above all else. She can be a little unreasonable sometimes, but her hearts in the right place.
Next we have Masako Hara. She's a small girl, short black hair and dark blue eyes. She always wears a kimono and is a famous medium. Everyone says she's as sweet and beautiful as a Japanese paper doll. I disagree, because she really hates me. Probably because she likes Naru as well. Oh well, I won't let that get in the way of anything because she's an amazing medium, and helps us communicate with some pesky spirits, even if she is annoying, I respect her.
There's also Osamu Yasuhara. He's not here at the moment, he's taking his college entrance exam. He's going to join us at the end of the day. You see, yasu is our researcher, he's super smart and pretty organized. He's of average height with black hair and dark eyes. He has a sort of crude sense of humor, but he's an over all fun guy.
Then we have Naru, he's tall dark and handsome, if some might say. He's bossy but caring. I wish he would wear something other than black every once and a while, and a smile wouldn't kill him. He has PK, which was kind of a surprise to me and pretty much the rest of the SPR gang. His blue-eyed, black-haired face is wonderful view, I don't really have anything else to say about him. Sorry.
Finally there's me. I'm a latent psychic, I fall asleep constantly, and am somewhat of a ghost magnet.
I guess you're wondering what the reports on this house were, well the conference went a little something like this:
"It all started about two weeks ago." Ms. Hanaki started, wringing her hands nervously in her lap. "I hear, crying in the middle of the night, and there's pounding on my walls."
Naru wrote things in his little black book of secrets and looked up at our client, willing her to continue.
"Writing shows up on the wall, messages I don't understand. They tell about lies and how much they hate me."
"Was that all, or is there more?" He asked, clearly not liking the boring case details.
"No, I feel like someone's watching me. I was in the sitting area, having a nice cup of tea when my window I looked, there was a shadow reflected in the glass."
"Did you recognize who the figure was?" Naru asked, monotone as always.
"No, it was all dark, just a shadow." She said quietly "But I think I might know who is was." She said, glancing nervously in our direction.
"Who?"
"My husband." She said pulling at her fingers and twisting her wedding ring.
"No..." I whispered, a feeling twisting my insides into a knot.
"Set up a room, we'll be there tomorrow morning" Naru said, walking back to the office, signaling that this meeting was over.
And, that's what happened. I'm hoping that this time I won't be in any sort of trouble. But I guess I can't really hope for that because I know that's never going to happen.
There ya go! Chapter 2, kinda boring but the real fun starts next chapter!
Leave me a review, cause I really love them!
