First off big, BIG, thank you to Fly Away Free spirituality for reviewing me the chants. I know the first chapter was a bit fast with the ghost trying to get Mai, but it was just because he or she, haven't decided yet, was familiar with her. The chapters will slow down around now though. Either way chapter 2 hope you enjoy it.

Normal P.O.V
Darkness, right now that was all Mai could see. Little lights began floating upward.
"Souls" Mai mumbled.
"Getting better Mai" a voice said, she turned and saw Naru.
"Naru, am I dreaming again?" she asked, Naru nodded at her and smiled.
'Defiantly a dream' Mai thought, with a smile. The lights and darkness began to fade and they were stood in front of Summer Time Inn, only it looked newer, and there were more people at it.
A couple walked out holding hands, smiling, laughing. They walked to the beach; Naru motioned for Mai to follow. Once at the beach Mai spotted the couple. They were near the high rocks.
"They say that if a couple goes up there, they will forever be together" Naru told her, Mai smiled, but frowned when she saw the girl frowning. They walked up and stood behind them.
"I don't love you" the boy said, the girl stared shocked at him.
"W-What? But Tamotsu you, you promised we'd be together forever" the girl stuttered tears forming in her eyes.
"Well, I lied Akemi, I don't love you" he said again and began to walk off. The girl grabbed his hand and tried to pull him back. He pushed her back, and in the process, she lost her footing, falling into the dark blue sea below her. Mai ran to edge of the cliff, she couldn't see the girl. She turned to the boy to see him…..WITH A SMILE? A pretty brunette came up behind him.
"Did you get rid of her?" she asked, the boy nodded.
"Good now we can be together, forever" she said and kissed the boy.
The scene began to change, the Inn looked a little older now, but it still had that cheery presence, at least to the people it did. Mai however could feel it, the girl she was angry, a loud crash was heard, everything went black again. Mai looked around for Naru, but she couldn't see him.
"Naru?" she asked, no answer. "This is just a dream, come on Mai wake up" she said to herself.
"Wake up little Mai, you death awaits you" an evil cackle could be heard. Mai flinched. "Murdered here, no escape, you WILL DIE!" the voice yelled.
Mai shot up with a scream, she covered her face so she couldn't see, she felt some one grab her arm. Out of fear she hit who had grabbed her, only to have hit Naru.
"Mai calm down!" Naru almost yelled. She looked up in shock.
"N-Naru?" she asked.
"Well done Mai, you're becoming smarter" he remarked. Mai ignored him and jumped and hugged him. This took everyone back, even Lin; he'd stopped typing to witness the scene before him. "Mai?" Naru asked, Mai just held onto him tighter. Saki came up to Mai and held her arm. Mai, familiar with the touch, let go of Naru. Saki put her arms around her, while she cried.
"Mai onee-chan, what's wrong?" Saki asked. Mai looked up at her, then to Naru.
"I had a dream" she said, more to Naru then anyone. She explained her dream; Saki stared at her in shock. When Mai had finished and Lin got everything down, he typed in Akemis' name into his computer to see there was anything on her.
"I can't find anything on her" Lin said.
"Maybe the library would have something on her?" Saki asked.
"You sure you're Mais' friend?" Naru asked.
"Yes, yes I am. And if a remark comes out of your mouth about her being stupid while she's like this, you won't see day light again" Saki threatened. Everyone started silently clapping at her. Naru unphased by this just said;
"Mai, tea." Mai sighed and got up. She headed towards the kitchen, but Monk stopped her.
"You sure it's a good idea her going by herself?" Monk asked, Naru looked at him and nodded. Everyone stared at him wide eyed, mouths touching the floor.
"I can look after myself" Mai said.
"Ok Mai, but this time use the warding magic" Monk and Ayako reminded her.
"Oh yeah, forgot about that" she smiled and went to the kitchen.
"If anything happens to her, I will personally kill your boss" Saki said to Ayako, loud enough for Naru to hear, he didn't pay any attention to her.
"John, Saki, I would like you to go to the library to see if you can find anything on Akemi" Naru ordered, John nodded and turned to Saki.
"I'll come" she sighed; she looked at Naru and walked straight to his face. "Keep an eye on Mai, if she gets hurt, you'll pay with your life" she threatened and walked out. Mr Sato drove them to the library.
"Matsuzaki-san, Monk, Hara-san, go around the house and exercise any rooms necessary. For now let's just hope that, that's enough until we figure out what we're dealing with" Naru ordered.
"Naru I don't think that will be necessary" Masako said. Naru looked at her questioningly, as did the others. "I can't feel the presence of a ghost, or anything in this Inn. The only thing I can feel is the presence of Mai in the kitchen." Everyone stared at her.
"Very well, I want you all to go around and take the temperatures in the every room, and set up the cameras for now" he ordered. They nodded and went to work.
With Mai
Mai walked down the corridor to the kitchen. She felt like someone was watching her, then she remember, a ghost was in the house, so she was pretty almost always being watched. Mai entered the kitchen and boiled the kettle. Grabbing six cups she set them in front of the kettle. She grabbed the tea bags and put them in the cups. After a minute or so of waiting the kettle finally screamed at her, only it didn't sound like the kettle, it sounded like the girl when she fell. Mai shook it off thinking she was going insane. She poured the tea and headed back to base. She was greeted, well not really, by Naru and Lin. She set the trey down and gave a cup to Naru, one to Lin, and she took one. Sitting on the sofa that there was in the room, she slowly started to day dream. She began humming a tune to herself. Lin and Naru looked up at her.
"Mai" Naru said, Mai didn't answer; it was like she was in a trance. "Mai" Naru said again, getting up, Lin followed him. By now they were standing in front of her, her humming had stopped and she looked at them.
"Something wrong?" she asked.
"You were just humming" Naru stated. Mai looked at him confused.
"No I wasn't" she said, Lin looked at her curiously. He then returned to typing. Naru returned to reading his book, occasionally taking glances at Mai, who had gotten up and walked to see what Lin was doing. Something wasn't right with her, but what?
Well that's chapter 2 done. What is wrong with Mai? Where has the ghost gone? Why can't Masako feel her? Stay tuned to find out more. I'll have the next chapter up soon. Please REVIEW :D
