DAY 2
The morning I woke up to had a warm, damp feeling to it. Not damp as in suffocating-save-me-jungle damp, but damp as in a-touch-of-humid-you-can-feel-on-your-skin damp. When I walk to base Naru, Monk and Yasu are already awake and working. Yasu is reading aloud from a thin packet.
"''It was later found that the children died of starvation" Oh, hi Mai." Yasu says smiling at me. "Hi" I yawn stretching my arms "It's too early to start working."
"No…It's almost noon, Mai." Monk says looking a little worried.
"What? Noon! It's that late? Why didn't any one wake me up?" I say, not believing that it was noon.
"We thought you were having on of those vision dream things, that's why we didn't wake you up." Yasu says scratching the back of his head "Did you have one?" he asks.
"No" I shake my head. Last night my sleep was dreamless.
"So your sleep was dreamless…?" Yasu says a smirk on his face giving away that he was up to something. Wait! Did I say that my sleep was dreamless? Was I thinking aloud?
"Are you sure you didn't dream about me?" yasu continues, clasping his hands at his sides while fluttering his eyes at me.
"Yeah, I'm sure, because if I dreamed of you It would become a nightmare" I say jokingly and Yasu clutches his heart in a mokingly way as if to say 'I'm hurt.'
"Ouch, Yasu" Monk says playfully "Shot down by Mai"
"Okey" Naru says standing up and slapping his hands down on the table with a loud BAM! that startled us all "Play time's over. We need to work."
Sheesh, we were just trying to lighten the mood. At that moment John and Masako walk in. Masako looks paler than usual.
"Ms. Hara" Naru says returning back to his normal weird, calm voice he always has "Are there spirits here?"
"Y-yes" Masako answers shaking a little "Five. Three children, two adults. Th-the children are inoccent souls. One of the adults had a bad intention and the other I cannot tell." Then Masako faints.
"Masako!" I yell going to her side. Yasu, Naru, Monk, John, and Lin join me. Ayako was inspecting the house.
"Someone bring a damp towl." Monk says. John gets up and brings a damp towl. As we wait for Masakko to wake up, Ayako walks in and says "This is clearly the work of an earthbound spirit. Whoa, what happened while I was gone?"
Monk tells Ayako about what Masako said and how she fainted.
"It's alright. I'm fine now." Masako says waking up from her faing.
"Masako, thank God you're alright." John says.
"There are spirits here correct?" Naru asks Masako.
"Yes." Masako responds to the obvious question.
"Okey, Mai, Monk go take the temperatures of each room, then report back." Naru commands. Why does he he have to act so bossy all the time? I wish he were more like Dream Naru…
"Hey Mai" Monk says taking me out of my small daydream.
"Yeah?" I ask him.
"Are you sure that you haven't had any of your vision dreams yet?" Monk askas with a quizzical look to his face.
"Yup" I nod "I'm sure."
"Alright." Monk nods too.
We enter the room and record the temperature. It's normal. We exit that room then enter another and record the temperature. Monk and I repeat the process another time in silence. Then Monk says "Mai, I think we've got a follower." I turn around quickly and catch a glance of a head before the head ducks behind the wall.
"Come on out." I say in a quiet soothing voice "We don't bite"
"Well," I hear Monk mutter under his breath "I sure don't, but I'm not so sure about Mai."
"I heard that!" I say playfully and slap his arm. "I don not!" At this the head comes back in veiw and steps out from the wall. It's a girl.
"H-hi" She says "I'm Yoshiko."
"Hi Yoshiko. I'm Hosho and this is Mai" Monk says with a smile, instantly putting Yoshiko under his 'Little Kid Charm' "How old are you?"
"I'm ten" Yoshiko says giving us a toothy grin while holding out ten fingers. I couldn't help but smile too. She's so cute.
"Do you want to come with us and take the temerature in the rooms?" Monk asks her.
"Okey." Yoshiko smiles and gives a small quick nod. After we recorded all the temperatures of the rooms we went back to base. Yoshiko was still with us, and entered the room.
"Is this Yoshiko?" Naru demand-asks.
"Uh-hu" Yoshiko says smiling.
"Can I ask you a couple of questions?" he asks.
"Yes." Yoshiko answers.
"You can hear children crying at night in your room and sometimes someone walks up and down the hall way right?" Naru asks in a voice that almost seemed…kind? So he can be nice!
"Yes, and whenever it happens it gets cold, really cold. And I get scared." Yoshiko says.
"Thank you for answering. That's alol I needed." Naru says the kindness in his voice disappearing. Then Mrs. Oshobo calls Yoshiko away.
"I say we call it a day." Monk says. Naru, John, and Yasu nod in agreement. When will the ghosts start to show themselves?
