Me: HEY we are back with another chapter!
Mai: YAY! What was with the cliff?
Naru: Why can't you just find out?
Me: :3 Oh and there will be some Evanescence songs and maybe a Nickelback song.
Universal: Yea and I seriously had no idea which songs to pick so I wasn't much help with that.
Naru: Maybe this chapter will actually be good.
Me: Why don't you find out?
Naru: *Glare*
Universal: *Whispers* Jerkkk...
Gene: Ghost and Universal do not own Ghost Hunt or the songs. But please R&R! :D
Chapter 2
Mai bolted upright in bed. 'Why would I dream something like that?' She immediately thought. The brunette looked over at Ayumu. She could tell worry filled his eyes as he walked to her. He sat down and rested his head next to her. The planeswalker reached her hand over and started to scratch Aymu behind his ear to comfort him.
"It's ok. Just a dream." She whispered to him. Mai looked over to her clock and ran to the bathroom. 'How is it 9:39?!' She silently screamed. 'I'm going to be so late!'
She finished her shower in a rush, and dressed in a navy blue blouse and a pair of faded jeans. She brushed her now waist length hair and put it up in a ponytail. She ran into her kitchen and made breakfast. She gave Ayumu food and made sure he had everything before she left for the shop.

"I'm sorry I'm late!" Mai burst through the doors and rushed to the manager's office.
"Finally Mai. Its 11:23! This is the latest you have been. Is something wrong?" Chiyo asked.
"Gomen. I just overslept." Mai replied sheepishly.
"Well, okay, just don't be so late next time."
"Hai."
Mai left Chiyo's office and went to the back of the stage. She picked up her guitar and started to tune it to the song she was about to sing. The psychic decided to sing Hello for her first song this morning. She went to the front of the stage with a mic and her guitar. She sat on the stool that was already there and started to sing.
Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday.
Mai took a swig of some water, and started to sing another song called My Immortal.
I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone
'You have no idea.'
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
You use to captivate me with your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
'Isn't that the truth.' Mai sighed inwardly.
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me.
When Mai finished, the brunette realised she was so absorbed in the song that she was on the brink of tears. Every time she sung My Immortal, she was always reminded of Naru and Gene. The psychic was also reminded of the day he broke her heart.
When she finally felt she could sing without being painfully reminded of them, she sang Lullaby.
Well I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that
it's never that bad
Take it from who's been where you're at
laid out on the floor
And you're not sure you can take this anymore
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
to let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'cause I can't get you on the telephone
so just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
'cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about the easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
you're far too young
And the best is yet to come
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
to let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'cause I can't get you on the telephone
so just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
Well everybody's hit the bottom
Everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah, everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging oh…
just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
to let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'cause I can't get you on the telephone
so just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
Mai heard an applause. She looked up from her guitar to see who was clapping, and found them.
"Man Mai, you are getting better every day!" A certain father figure yelled to her.
"Monk!" Mai exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"Well thought I would stop by and see how you are doing, and get a cup of coffee." He explained holding up a cup.
"Well, let me finish a few more songs then lets talk. Okay?" Mai asked. He waved his hand signaling that it was fine. Mai sang three more songs before she got off stage and let one of her coworkers, Kaito, play his guitar.
o3o3o3o3o3o3o
"Mai, there is something I need to tell you." Monk said. He sounded a bit angry.
Mai got a bit worried. "What is it Monk?" she asked tentatively.
"It's about Naru…" He trailed off. He was tense, like he didn't want her to know.
"Monk…? What about Naru?" She demanded. Sure, Naru had broke her heart. But, she found that she still loved that narcissistic, tea-addicted, work-a-holic.
What the usually laid back rockstar said next shocked her the most.
"Mai, Lin called Ayako. They are coming back to Japan."
o3o3o3o3o3o3o
Me: Hope you enjoyed the chap! :)
Universal: See you guys next time!
Naru: I never said I wanted to go back to Japan.
Universal: Too bad, you're going.
Naru:... Why?
Universal: Cause the author and I said so.
Me: :3 hahaha
Yasu: Monk! Where are you my love?
Monk: Get away! *runs*
Universal: Remember,
