I do not own Ghost Hunt

MAI'S P.o.V

"Mai wake up."

I jolted in my seat and went to lurch forward only to be stopped by the seat belt. I immediately threw my hand to my cheek and felt the stinging cold that still resided there, which caused a shiver to go down my back. What had happened to Naru in my dream, what was he trying to tell me. I looked up to the front to see Naru and Lin had both exited the van and were out front speaking with the owner of the Suite. I looked at Naru and tried to see any sign of what the dream was about or if he was aware of it, but when he finally met my eyes he shot me an angry glare. My heart nearly jumped from my chest as I quickly tried to jump from my seat, choking myself again with my seatbelt. I struggled a little more and then managed to get untangled and nearly fell from the van as Naru opened the door.

"Mai I do not pay you to play around. Get up and start unloading the van. Bou-san will be here any minute to help you. Lin and I will be in the base waiting for you, Bou-san knows which room, so wait for him."

I turned around and placed my hands on my hips, "Why don't you just tell me what room it is?"

Naru slightly turned and smirked at me, "Why should I allow you to venture by yourself, Are you so eager to get lost already?"

I felt my cheeks get warm, "I don't always get lost thank you!"

Naru merely waved his hand in the air, "Do as I say Mai. I am your boss."

I stomped my foot, "Stupid Narrsicist!"

I turned around and unloaded all of the light things from the van and placed them on the ground. I waited for a few minutes before closing the door and sitting down blowing my hair from my face. I thought back to my dream and another shiver went down my back. Who was the person I had dreamed about, and what relevance did they have to the case? I knew I should tell Naru even though he had been nothing but mean to me, but what if it was just a silly dream?

I shuffled my feet on the ground and blew my falling hair from my face again.

What was taking Bou-san so long?

I stood up and opened the van again, then replaced all of the things I had taken out, mumbling grumpily to myself. Naru had said Bou-san would be here soon and I had been out here for nearly ten minutes. I turned and walked towards the hotel and didn't get far when I froze in my tracks. In the parking lot, closest to the door was Bou-san's car.

"What the heck!?

I stormed into the hotel lobby and walked right up to the desk trying to keep the anger off of my face. There was a plump older woman with big hair and rosey cheeks sitting there, and she gave me a smile that told me that she was a sweet woman.

"How may I help you sweet heart?"

I felt my anger melt away and I returned her smile, "Yes ma'am, I was wondering if you could tell me which room Shibuya Psychic Research is in?"

"Oh yes, the Ghost catchers, they would be in room 2a deary. Anything else I can help you with?"

I shook my head, "No ma'am thank you though."

I turned and made way to the elevator.

"Oh deary?"

I turned back, "Y-yes ma'am?"

The woman's eyes went dark for a quick second and then went back to normal so quickly that I thought my eyes were playing tricks on my, "Keep smiling that beautiful smile you have."

I nodded and stepped into the elevator that just arrived and waved at the woman as the door closed and I pushed the button to go on the second floor. The hum of the elevator was louder than I was expecting and caused me to jump, and then laugh nervously at myself for being scared so easily. I mean there had only been what, eight people my age die here, what was there to be scared of right? As quickly as the humming started it stopped and the door opened with a ding. I stepped out and looked at the door that was right in front of me that was labeled as G, with E to the left and I to the right. I took in the context clues and headed down the left side of the hall. As I got closer to the room I presumed to be the base I heard laugher erupt from it and felt my face get a little red. Weren't they supposed to be out there helping me?

"Oh Naru, would you like me to get you some tea?"

I froze and clenched my fist in anger, why was Masako offering to get him tea, that was my job. I stomped angrily to the door and saw Bou-san and John with their backs turned to me and Masako with her arms wrapped through Naru's.

"Ahem!"

Everyone turned and took first notice of me, shock registering through everyone's face, some recovering much quicker than others.

"Oh Naru, I'm sorry I distracted you making you Forget about Taniyama-san." Masako said placing extra emphasis on the word forget.

"Mai I am so sorry I forgot about you I was just..." Bou-san started.

"No no it's fine, now that I know where the base is I can bring everything up myself. Ha-ha. I'll be right back." I said trying to hide the pain in my voice."

"Mai..."

"I-I'll be r-Right back." I said quickly and then I turned and bolted from the room trying to put some distance between myself and Bou-san who was likely to follow. I knew it was silly of me to get upset over that, but the way that Masako had been on Naru and worded everything… it just made my chest hurt.

I looked up smiled at the different guests I was passing, and halted while quickly pushing the button for the elevator.

"Hey Mai, wait up!"

I turned and walked from the elevator towards the stair case that I believed to be down the hall. I just really needed to be alone right now until I got better control of my emotions. I didn't want to go off on Bou-san, and that's probably what would happen. I looked down and quickened my pace, trying to stop the tears that were threatening to leak. Lately I had been crying easier and over the smallest things.

"Oh, goodness. Are you alright sweetie?"

I looked up just in time to stop myself from running into an elderly woman with big kind eyes. She placed her hand on my shoulder and gave me a wise smile, "You need to make sure you watch where you are going. My old bones can't move as fast as your young ones."

I bowed quickly, "Yes ma'am I do apologize."

The woman gave me a nod and continued her walk down the hall, "The stairs are at the end of the hall of your right. Be good."

I took off in the direction the woman told me to and quickly took the stairs two at a time until I reached the bottom and ran through the lobby ignoring the curious look the receptionist was giving me and took off out of the door. I ran out to the van and quickly began to unload the equipment.

"Mai! Mai! You didn't have to take off like that, I'm going to help you unload the van now okay? I'm so sorry that I forgot about you!"

I felt a pang in my heart, "Bou-san chill, I'm okay I promise."

He came and took the stuff I had in my arms and sat them down, then pulled me into a hug, "Mai I'm sorry. Here I'll take care of this, you go to the base and wait for me. "

"Bou-san I couldn't…"

"Please. I really want some tea and no one makes it better than you do."

I smile and nodded feeling a little better than I did before, and headed back towards the hotel. I walked in and gave a wave and reassuring smile to the receptionist. I walked to the elevator that was on the verge of closing, but when the person saw me coming they re-opened the door.

"Thank you." I said as I stepped in and pressed the number two.

"No problem. Hey Miss?"

I turned and looked at a boy about my age with curly black hair and small blue eyes, "Y-yes?"

"Are you alright. I saw you run from the hotel crying a few moments ago."

I shook my head a little embarrassed that someone had seen me in my state of over reacting, "Oh I wasn't crying, I was just coughing badly ha-ha. Had to get outside to get some air."

"Oh okay."

The door opened revealing my floor and I took off leaving the stranger with a small wave. It was kind of nice that a stranger noticed I was upset, considering most of my friends probably didn't.

What was I saying, was I trying to throw myself a pity party? I really needed to get over myself.

I walked down to my room and tried to keep a smile even when I noticed that Masako had managed to get even closer to Naru. She gave me a smirk and held tighter on him making me feel as if tears were going to fall again.

"Hey Mai, should we go make some tea?" Yasu asked picking up on my sour mood.

"Naru doesn't need any tea, I just made him some." Masako said, barley hiding her smile behind her sleeve.

"Oh I saw the face he made when he drank it, I think he defiantly needs some tea Mai."

I giggled at the glare Masako gave him as he grabbed my arm and pulled me from the room waving to everyone as he did
