The start Of Something red

6:05 AM

To say that Naru wasn't surprised that Michaela was late was an understatement. And of course out of all things the things the two siblings could share, it was in their impeccable way of losing track of time. Naru looked at the group around him, when they had gotten wind of him having a new assistant, their reactions had been different. John and Ayako had shrugged it off. Masako had just put her sleeve over face, her being jealous that it was another girl. Takigawa had gone off saying how this girl was replacing Mai, he was still complaining about it.

Michaela walking up and heard this.

" I just can't believe you replaced Mai." Michaela glared at the man as she walked up. She hated when people called her a replacement. It made her feel so down graded.

" I suggest you shut your trap, just because I now work her old spot doesn't mean I replaced her. I'm not Mai and never will be. My name is Michaela Summer Grace. Not Mai Taniyama." Takigawa had turned around during her little was surprised by how much the girl acted like Mai.

" Michaela your late." turning away from the monk, she looked to her boss. He didn't seem angry, but then again he wasn't jumping for joy either.

" Oh and what are you gonna do fire me."

" Thats what usually happens Michaela." Naru's gaze harden.

" And you know if you fire me for this Mai will come at you with a blazing vengeance." The other SPR members were shocked with how familiar she was with Mai.

" Ms. Grace how do you know Mai?" questioned John. She smiled at how polite the priest was.

" Oh you don't have to call me Ms. Grace, just call me Michaela or anything else you can think of and for your question. I know her because we're adopted sisters." everyone around except for Lin and Naru were surprised at her answers.

" Wait so you and Mai are sisters." The monk spoke out of his shock.

" I believe that is what I just said, was it not." She looked at everyone around seeing if they would speak up to her, against her. When nobody spoke she turned on her heel and started packing boxes into the van.

Takigawa watched her as she turned and noticed glints of different types of metals in her hair two to be exact. He wondered why they seemed so familiar til he remember a few cases back when Mai had met her blood cousin Zoey. She had, had the same things except hers were on a necklace and not in her hair. Zoey was something they had learned to call a soul wielder. Someone who could take a part of there soul and shape into a form, most of the time in the shape of an animal. They were kinda like shiki but they weren't spirits of the dead they were a part of your soul, only few people could have their souls like that, were the soul split apart to come out of your body.

" Michaela were did you get those weaves and charms and what are they for." Looking into Takigawa's eyes, Michaela knew he already knew what they were for but didn't want to voice it.

" I'm sure you know what they are since you meet Zoey to." He just nodded his head and looked away. Michaela didn't know what she did to the monk but he seemed to dislike her before even fully getting to know her. The others seemed hesitant to, they watched her while they packed the van and car with supplies.

After they got done they packed themselves into the vehicles. She decided against getting into the car with the other SPR members and took the seat between Naru and Lin.

8:15 AM

" Wow." Was all Michaela used to describe the grand hotel called the The Lily Geisha. She thought the name was really pretty, it made her think of when she was younger and her mother would always place a lily flower clip in her hair when they went places.

It wasn't just the hotel that was grand, it was also the land it sat on. It had exotic gardens and small lakes and spas scattered over the land. Michaela was brought out of her musing by a stoic Nura, as per usual.

" Michaela this is not a time for sight seeing, we're here for work." She looked at her boss or more like glared. She knew what they were here for but it didn't mean she couldn't enjoy the scenes and sounds around her.

As they walked through the door they could here a loud roar. There right in front of them was a beautiful fountain that stood about as tall as the whole building. The SPR team with exception of Lin and Naru, where surprised by the size of the fountain by itself. And got more surprised as they looked at the detail of the whole place. If they hadn't been given the information they had, there was no way they would have thought that this place use to be an asylum.

Before anyone of them could get to into the intricate detail, Kobayashi came out. He was dressed in a suit, his hair was comb in a neat way. If you were a regular person and didn't look to far into things, you would think Kobayashi looked fine and was a happy and lucky man to own a hotel this grand. But when you looked deep enough into his eyes you could see sorrow and tiredness.

" Welcome to The Lily Geisha SPR." He said gesturing with his hand around the large lobby area. " Now if you follow me I'll show you all to your rooms and your base room." We all nodded our heads and followed after while the bellhops with our Luggage and equipment followed after us.

Michaela deciding she wanted to be at the end of group so she could take at least a quick peek at the designs and details. They walked past a long desk that had computers stationed on it and people in neat uniforms behind them taking care of incoming and out going guest. On the wall behind the desk she saw a window like structure that held a water scene of a sort. There were small water fountain and smooth pebbles. The sounding coming from the feature was soothing and calming.

They also walked by many other designs that caught her attention. One of her favorite came to be the merial of the Geisha. And Michaela only hoped that she would get to look at them and take in everything before leaving the beautiful hotel.

Naru watched his blonde assistant from the corner of his eyes, so not lose her. He sighed in wonderment, why did she have to see everything in the hotel. He knew it was grand, but this is work and it's on his time.

Kobayashi stopped in front of a large double door. He put his hand into his pocket only to bring out a key ring with one key on it. While opening the doors he spoke.

" You will be keeping this key, I have my own and so dose the head maid. If you have any questions there is a phone in each room and in your base room." He put his hand back into his pocket and produced eight room card keys and a key ring with another key like the one he used to open the door in front of them. " Theses keys are your room keys, room 1009 is the girls room, room 1010 is the guys, and room 1011 is Shibuya-San and Lin-San's room." Kobayashi handed each of us a key, then bowed and walked away.

Michaela was surprised that Kobayashi had given them such a big room for there base. But then again at least they didn't have to worry about not having enough space. Naru started directing them around the room to set up things. After that he sent everyone out to do different jobs.

He sent Michaela and Bou-San out to take temperatures of each room that had activity, he sent Masako and John to get a feel for the building, Yasu and Ayako were sent to collect information from people and tell them if they had a story to tell they should be at room 167 around nine tomorrow morning.

9:10 AM

Michaela and Bou-San were only on the tenth place to check temperatures and Michaela was already hating it. There to much walking involved and nothing to keep her mind off it. Seeing as Bou-San wouldn't talk to her, for a reason unknown to her. She sneaked a peek up at him, his face was emotionless and his eyes were trained ahead not even taking in the detail around like he had done earlier when he was talking with the others.

Michaela wonder why he felt so tense around her. She wasn't gonna attack him and it wasn't like she had done anything to him to make him mad at her. If anyone should be mad it should be her, for insulting her.

" Ummmm." She didn't know how to confront him about it. But she decided to just get straight to the point. " Bou-San I... Ummm, I was wondering. Why do you hate me so much?" Shock spread across the monk's face.

Bou-San looked down at the girl next to him, he was surprised that she would think that. No, he didn't hate her, it was just weird doing this with someone other than Mai. Well it was also because of what happened that morning when he had been half joking, half complaining about Mai not being Naru's assistant. He looked to the girl next to him again, she looked up at him with confused, but angry eyes.

" I mean you don't have to like me, but could you at least give me a reason. So maybe there could be a chance to be friends." She looked up at the monk with a small smile.

Michaela looked into the monk's eyes. He seemed to thinking about what he was going to say.

" I...I uhhhh I don't hate you it's just it thought because of what happened earlier you wouldn't want to talk to me." He chuckled a little and then went on. " And this is different, not having Mai here is different. And I guess I don't know... I guess I don't know what to say." Michaela smiled up at the monk. He was surprised by this.

" So you thought I hated you because of what happened earlier today, and that's why you didn't talk to me?" He nodded his head. " There's no need to worry about that, I don't hate you, now I may be a little angry, but hate I don't think so. So can we just start over and be friends." The monk couldn't help but just nod his head. She smiled at him so big that it shocked him.

" So if we're starting over I gonna need to give you a nickname because Michaela is a mouth full. Hmmm you said that your last name was Grace right." Michaela nodded with eagerness. " Well then how bout Gracie." She smiled reassuring him the name was fine.

" Okay, so now that we got that cleared up how about we get going and finish this." She said waving the thermoter around. Monk nodded his head chuckling.

9:00 PM

Michaela was in the trying to rinse away the days grim and stress. Now that her and Bou-San were okay, she really didn't have to worry. After seeing that Bou-San didn't mind her, neither did the others.

Sighing she turned off the relaxing warm water and stepped out of shower rapping a towel around herself and garbing the two towels. One for her face and the other for her hair. She then dried out her hair. And turned on the sink to wash her face.

That's when she felt a string of cold air run across her the bare skin on her back. Reaching for a towel she felt it again. Although she turned off the sink, she could still hear water running. Michaela looked down at the sink, but it wasn't running. Looking in the mirror she was shocked scared. In all her life she never seen or heard of anything like this and looking at this now made her scared. She did a 180 degree turn and found the picture in the mirror was not of her imagination. The shower was sputtering out a red thick liquid. It had already filled a quarter of the tub and was still going. Her breathe had started coming out ragged and her heart was beating thirty miles a minute, and didn't intend on slowing down anytime soon. And it only sped up with what she heard and saw next.

" He he he." The sound of a little girls giggle sound around the room. Michaela's head whipped either which way looking for the maker. She flipped around and looked into the mirror to find a little girl's image in the mirror with herself. The little girl smiled with a stitched smile. She had long, dark brown hair and black eye sockets for eyes, her skin a ghostly white with gray and her mouth was stitched shut. In her arms she held a tattered Teddy bear that looked like it had gone to hell and back.

" Your next." she giggled with a murderous smile. It was finally then that Michaela screamed.

SPR base

When the SPR team heard the scream they froze. Naru was the first to jump into action. Jumping up from his spot on the couch and heading out the door. Lin and Bou-San weren't far behind. And then the others finally unfroze and followed.

Seeing as Naru wouldn't let anyone go to far away from the base alone, Michaela was only a little ways down the hall in a bathroom of an unused room. When they got to bathroom door they found it to be locked. Both Naru and Bou-San yelled for Michaela to get out the way of the door if she was anywhere near it. Not getting a response from the girl made them even more worried than before. Although Naru didn't show it, but Takigawa made up for him with the way he looked.

Wasting no time they broke down the door, only to be horrified but what they found inside. Michaela was the floor leaning against the sink and about three feet infront of her there was words written in something that looked a lot like blood. But what scared them the most was the tub filled to the brim with blood.

Monk had already gone in and was kneeling beside Michaela trying to calm her down. The others just kept reading to words over and over again. The words seemed to dance in their heads.

' You may be sane but now your not and the end the insane drop.' They all watched as Takigawa picked the now unconscious girl and leave the room.
