llazo4108824: Thank you for your comment! I made the chapter sooner than I thought I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 2

The ride there was boring especially since I rode with Naru and Lin. Thankfully with my new phone Bou-san bought me I could read or play games. After a while it got boring though and I looked at the scenery. I've learned over the years that Naru and Lin don't say much even when I ask questions. All I get is short clipped answers that led me feeling angry. These guys could not keep a conversation going. To pass the time I stared to just day dream instead.

The day we found out about Naru being a world renowned paranormal scientist was shocking to say the least. We found out a year ago when Naru's parents Luella-san and Martin-san came to the office to visit their son. Luella couldn't take not seeing her only living son. After various calls to her son she rushed over for a week. That's when we found out the truth.

Naru was the world famous Oliver Davis. The man that Bou-san admired so much. He was here in Japan under his birth name to find his dead twin brother.

I was angry at first, most of us were, but after awhile I really thought about his situation. I was offended he didn't tell us who he was. I was angry he lied to us, to me. But then, I thought about it. Sure he lied to us but how did he know to trust us at first or take the leap to tell us once he knew us well. He couldn't take the chance of telling people because his brother's murderer was still out there.

After I hunted the gang down and told them why they should forgive him everyone relented and came back. Well except for John of course. He's very understanding and Masako knew too. Ugh I still can't believe Masako actually blackmailed Naru. It's in the past now and Masako isn't interested in Naru anymore. We've even gotten closer! She's even been trying to teach me how to control my powers. She's like my sister now.

Over the years we all changed. Naru grew taller and broader. Even though I was still short I swear I grew an inch. No matter what Bou-san says Ayako says I grew! My hair grew a little longer just to a little past my shoulders. I was also graduating soon. I honestly didn't know what I was going to do though.

My eyes were growing heavy. Just 3 more hours to go till we get there maybe taking a nap will help.

—-—-—3rd person POV—-

The car ride was quiet. Naru was reading his case notes while Lin was concentrated on driving. The was 3 more hours to go when Mai finally fell asleep. The car was filled with the sound of her light breathing. Suddenly the car hit a bump in the road and Mai's head lightly taped the window and Naru looked up and glared. He looked towards Lin who glanced at him back and carried on driving. Naru looked annoyed and softly pulled Mai towards him and rested her head against her shoulder. She signed contently and settled against Naru's shoulder.

Naru would ever so often glance at Mai the rest of the trip to make sure she was okay. Lin would glance at them both a tiny lift on the corner of his mouth and amusement in his eyes.

The rest of the trip was made in silence. The occasionally noise coming from Mai. Sometimes she'd furrow her brow or suddenly jerk. Naru would look at her in concern. He was tempted to wake her up but didn't want to disturb her. Finally in the last hour she stopped and slept peacefully.

—-Mai's Dream POV—

I was in the woods lost. Where was Tamaki? Where was I? I knew I had to do something but what? Where was I? Wait something was coming.

I was wearing a kimono. It was a beautiful blue with silver flowers. The moon reflected of the silver causing it to shine.

I had to run but the kimono made it difficult. My long black hair fell from my updo and whipped around messily as I ran.

I had to get away but I fell. He was coming! A deep fear came over me making me trip over a root. I tried to get up as far as I could I felt his breath he was right behind me! He was coming! I don't want to die! I don-

It stopped I was floating. So tired so so tried.

—-—3rd person POV—

The SPR van finally arrived at the gates of the western mansion. It was a large structure three stories tall with dozens of windows. The gates opened and the SPR van and Masako's chauffeur driven car arrived with the rest of the team. As soon as Masako stepped out she stood ram straight and then buckled. John, who got out after her, turned and managed to catch her.

"Masako!" Ayako yelled.

Masako has come a long way in her skills as a medium. Gone where the days where she buckled at the feeling of many tortured spirits. Gone we're the days she fainted feeling weak to catch Naru's attention.

"I'm... I'm alright. There is so much pain so much evil. John please pass me my amulet and my rosary."

With Masako's growth in her sensitivity to spirits Ayako and Bou-san made her a powerful talisman. John also gave her a blessed rosary that the pope had specifically given to him.

"Are you alright Masako?" John looked worriedly at Masako concern shining through blue eyes.

Masako felt peace wash over her and sighed in relief. John was still holding her up. Masako looked up, "John I am alright now. Do not worry." She smiled delicately at him to reassure him.

Masako's eyes widened. "Mai! We need to give her something! Her powers are too new and untrained to leave her unaffected!" The gang turned towards the van where Naru had the door open. He stood in front of the sleeping Mai gently shaking her awake.

—-with Naru and Mai—-

Naru gently woke up Mai. "Mai. Mai, we're here." She stirred awake and looked blearily around. " Naru where are we?"

Naru looked at Mai. " We're at the mansion I'm surprised how quickly you forgot where our destination was. Your new phone must be killing off your brain cells faster then I thought."

Well that certainly woke Mai up, which was Naru's purpose, he couldn't help tease Mai and wind her up. She glared at Naru noticing the gleam in his eyes that shined in amusement. ' Geez if he thinks he can rile me up so quickly he's dead wrong.'

She humphed and jumped out of the car. That was the moment where the gang looked at Mai to try to stop her but it was too late. Mai stood straight her eyes unseeing and wide. Naru noticed her expression and moved closer to her in concern." Mai." His voice was tinged with urgency and he came closer to Mai.

"Naru! The spirits here are too much for her!" Masako yelled. Naru heard Masako and made to grab Mai when her head snapped up at the mansion and fear clouded her eyes. "Lin!" Naru's voice was sharp filled with urgency. Lin walked around the van and Mai started screaming in pain. Naru grabbed Mai and pulled her to him while the gang had arrived. Lin's unearthly whistle echoed and unseen spirits made an invisible protective barrier unseen to normal people. " Takigawa! Matsuzuki!" Naru raised his voice.

They didn't answer as they pulled out a talisman placing it on Mai's arm. Her screams stopped and the air was tense. This was certainly a bad omen.

I hope you all enjoyed it! I thought I made Mai a little immature at the beginning and I thought since she was 18 she should act more mature. Naru and Mai's relationship has improved to the point where Naru still teases Mai but she knows he's trying to rile her up. At this point Naru has softened a little and shows Mai little displays of affection that we'll see in coming chapters. Thank you for reading!
