*pant*pant*pant*
'Oh no! It's 4:00! I'm 30 minutes late! (AN: forgive me if I assume that Mai should be there by 3:30 and their class end at 3:00 pm) Naru will kill me!' Mai thought a she run as fast as she could. If you are wondering why she dressed like a boy, she didn't have the time to change and it's because their school will have a festival and their class was assigned to do a short movie film which is entitled the white that is covered by red. It is a tragic story written by Miku Harada their classmate. Her role was Eliot Hilbert one of the main character.
Mai is the part time investigator at Shibuya Physique Research, SPR for short, were there they investigate a supernatural events along the team. Kazuya Shibuya or the well-known Doctor Oliver Davis is the CEO of SPR who has a twin named Eugene Davis which is the sole reason why he opened his business, to find her dead twin that he sees how he'd died in the use of his psychometry and he possess a very powerful Pk.
"J-just" *pant* "a little" *pant* "more" *pant* she reached SPR's door and compose herself to get rid of her panting and she slowly turn the knob and in a very slow motion she opened the door hoping that Naru would not hear the tingling sound of the door chimes. With a very, almost successfully opened the door half-way she entered again slowly facing the door and closed it very carefully. Mai smiled to herself as she proudly turn to placed her things to her desk. She blinked, and she turned white and sweat was started to form in her face. She can see three eyes was looking at her, one is confused, the other is wide-eyed and the other eye is telling 'you're dead'.
"Ah- I P-prepare the tea right away" Mai's voice was so silent when she said that. She stepped sideways and after she placed her things to her desk she hurried to the kitchen to prepare the tea.
"Sorry for the interruption Mr Suginuma, please continue."
Mai heard Naru said. 'Ohhh Naru will surely kill me, especially I put a stunt like that, and it's so embarrassing! I should've just enter normally.'
"No worries, Mr Shibuya, is he your little brother?" Mai stopped from her doings and ask herself ' Naru's little brother?… Oh shoot! I forgot I'm still wearing Eliot's costume!
Naru didn't reply for the comment but simply insist that Mr Suginuma to continue his issue to them.
Mai placed the 4 cups of tea on the table and take her seat beside her boss and take notes for the information.
"As I was saying, we believed that the Rest House of the Shino property in Okinawa is haunted."
'Okinawa! And Rest house? Wow, there's a chance to explore the paradise in south' Mai thought.
"The activity was started only last May. At first we only thought that it was a burglar, for we are hearing opening of windows and doors at night, and we often heard footsteps. We doubled our security but then the guards says and the CCTV's didn't caught any during the nights while the masters and also the maids claimed that they heard something disturbing. "
"Is the security is still on tight up until now?" Mai asked him
"Yes, but then only this June, we heard moaning voices scratches and blood stains on the walls. Again we reviewed the CCTVs but caught nothing. To reduce the possibility that it's a prank, all the children were transfer to the Main house here in Tokyo, we also reduce the number of the maids and other personnel until it was only 10 and a few guards patrolling the House. The guards that are occupying the whole house now are all claiming that they indeed heard voices that is all around the house and the blood stains is also just appeared and disappeared just like a bubble.
"That was scary" Mai said in whisper.
"But the worst is, after the typhoon that hit Okinawa, the number of supernatural incidents increase. The guards we hired one by one became injured, the remaining maids are claiming they saw someone walking and will disappear, and another, the blood stain became a blood hand prints. They also heard not just moaning but turn into horrifying screams"
"Please Mr Shibuya, we can't take a risk any longer. We are afraid that it will no longer injured the staff but also take their life."
"Very well, we will take your case." Naru said
"Thank you Mr Shibuya I will inform Mr Shino right away. And may I know how many staff you will bring? And please identify their gender."
"May I know also why you are asking our personnel's?" asked Naru
"Oh, it's for the transportation. You see there are so many cargos that Mr Shino wants to deliver in the Rest house. Mr Shino's friend own a cruise ship and ask for his help about the transportation if you accept our case we already request for you to be added to the trip to Okinawa. He immediately said yes to him for he still have a spare room cabin, unfortunately, for the girls cabin only one room is available, only 2 girls can board a ship we can't add a futon for extra because the rule is the rule. It's for safety purposes."
"I understand"
'Oh no, only two girls and based on the case Ayako and Masako is needed, so I'm going to be left behind, and the place is Okinawa, where paradise lies especially the white beach!' Mai thought in worry. Unknown to her Narus eyes shifted to her.
"Very well, we have 2 ladies and 6 gentleman" Naru said.
'Wait, wait wait, 6 boys?' Mai looked at her boss with confusion.
"Thank you very much Mr Shibuya, May I have the names of your team so that the arrangement for the transportation will be done. The ship will be at Tokyo's Hinode pier, please be there on or before 7:00 am, this Saturday."
"Please expect us to be there on time" and Naru's gaze went to Mai.
"I know" Mai said that only Naru can hear.
"We will send you the detail informations to your mail. Maki, please escort Mr Suginuma to the door"
'Who's Maki?' Mai meets Naru's eyes and the bulb on her head lights up
'I see, I am Maki' Mai stood and escort Mr Suginuma to the exit.
"Thank you Maki-kun and I forgot, please see Ms Nagi from the Admin of the ship, and expect that there will be a safety orientation before boarding on the ship. Safety is a big deal to that cruise ship. By the way the ship is named Alexandre"
"Got it Mr Suginuma. Ms Nagi in the Admin. Alaexandre. Please take care on your way home." Mai said in a low voice.
"Thank you again Maki-kun, please give my regards to your brother." They bow to each other and Mai closes the door.
'Brother huh?' Mai shut the door and immediately hear Naru.
"Mai, e-mail Mr Suginuma for our information and take note the equipment's we will bring." Naru ordered.
"Yes, yes, my big brother" Mai said in a mockingly way.
Naru stare at Mai from head to toe actually and he smirked and said "I'm still more handsome than you….. Maki Shibuya" and he retreats to his dark chamber.
"What the! Grrr! You narcissist Jerk!"
"Honestly that attitude of him never cease to annoy me." Mai said to no one.
Mai started to clean the table and phone the others that a case of a haunted Mansion will be starting. Luckily all of them is free to do their jobs for Naru. "This will be a long case, luckily it was on golden week, but what will I tell the class for the filming?"
Mai again see herself to the mirror.
"I have to be thankful to you Eliot, because of my disguise I will be on this case and addition to be Naru's little brother. Come to think of it, Gene is the older, let's see what kind of Big Brother are you Naru?" and Mai smiled to herself and stared at the window as she watched the passer-byes.

AN: Well? What do you think? The case is still umm somewhat not interesting? I will emphasize the horror of this story on the next chapter. I will try my best to research scary story-told for this to be effective to you. Please review, it will help me to further improve my story. I was reading shoujo Mangas for the reference of Eliot's lines which will be used on the coming chapters.
Again thank you.
Love,
The author.
