Sowwy for the late update.. I had some problems lately along with a flooded house and me slipping and hurting my back and foot but enough about me.
Let's continue this story. Hope you enjoy.

"Welcome back onee-san"

A chilly and kind of familiar voice spoke just before Mai opened her eyes. Mai looked around and saw she was in dimly lighted room with walls full of portraits. Standing in front of her was person that looked just like her, close to her age the only difference was that it was a boy.

Mai blinked several times to make sure her weren't playing tricks with her. The boy was now smiling at her.

"Who are you?" she asked him nervously.

"Don't you remember? I am your twin brother" the boy said to Mai. "Let me show you something that will help you remember"

He pulled her arm and led her to one of the portraits. It was the biggest one in the room but that wasn't the problem. The problem was the face on it. It was her, Mai, only this time she had long hair that reached her back. She was wearing a beautiful red dress and she had a choker with a red rose on it around her neck.

Mai lowered her gaze to the description which wrote: 'Mei Taniyama 1920'

'The girl has almost the same name as me' she thought as she looked at the girl again.

"Its been a long time onee-san. I missed you" the boy said and hugged Mai.

Mai opened her eyes and found herself laying on a soft and warm bed. She looked around and found Naru looking at her from the other side of the room. He had a strange look on his face.

"Um how long have I been out?" Mai asked scratching her head while smiling.

"Around 14 hours" he said his voice as cold as ice that made Mai shiver. He got up and walked towards the bed.

'He seems kind of angry up close' she thought as he stopped beside Mai. The silence was very frustrating.

"Where are the others?" she asked just to break that awkward silence.

"They are setting up the cameras and measuring temperatures" he said in a matter of fact voice that angered Mai.

"Well sorry for fainting mr Perfect" Mai said in an annoyed tone.

Naru opened his mouth to speak but was cut by Lin and Monk entering the room. When Monk saw Mai his face brightened up.

"Good Morning my princess. How are you feeling?" he hugged Mai tightly and almost choked her.

"I am kind of dizzy and you almost choked me" Mai laughed as Monk patted her head softly. He laughed too but stopped when a cough came from Naru's direction.

"Lin go and tell to everyone to come here also Keisuke-san. Mai will tell us what she saw." He said and went back to his seat and to his book.

After a while all of them were sitting around the bed and were listening to Mai. When she finished Naru was more angry than before and the temperature of the room seemed to have gotten lower and it was chilly.

"Damn that idiot. What is he doing still here? I can take care of myself" he said.

Keisuke and the butler were confused so Monk explained to them the story behind Mai's dreams and Gene. Keisuke looked at Mai surprised.

"You have that kind of power?" all the others laughed, except Naru and Lin.

"Its not anything amazing" Mai said blushing.

"Oh wait you referred to a Mei Taniyama in your dream right?" Keisuke asked thoughtful.

"Um yes I did. She looked exactly like me, as well as the boy."

Everyone stopped laughing and looked at Mai. Something in here wasn't right but they couldn't get their hands on it.

"I will get my revenge" an icy voice was heard by all and Mai looked at her wrist where the crystal ball was shining once more.

She looked up and saw the faint figure of a girl beside the window looking at her. Everyone followed Mai's gaze and gasped, and yes I mean EVERYONE.

The girl was exactly like Mai, wearing the same dress Mai had seen in the portrait. She had a serious look on her face and her eyes wouldn't leave Mai's for a second making her shiver uncontrollably.

"You..." she pointed her hand at Mai. "I've been waiting for you Mai. For such a long time. Now I can take revenge for what happened 93 years ago..." The lights flickered for a second and was gone leaving everyone with so many questions.

Who was that girl called Mei? What happened 93 years ago?

All of the SPR team turned to Keisuke for answers but he was as surprised as them.

"It seems like you weren't kidding when you said she was exactly the same as you huh? That's so creepy" Ayako said.

"Naru what should we do? This spirit seems to want Mai." Monk asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

Naru was sceptical for a while and then said.

"She doesn't want to harm Mai. At least for now. First of all we need to find out what happened here. Yasuhara you go to the mansion's library to see if you can find anything there. As for the rest of us we need to find that room with the portraits"

"I am on it boss" Yasu said and was led to the library by the butler.

"Mai can you get up? Are you ok?" Monk asked her and she nodded.

"Yes I feel much better" she looked at Keisuke. "Um do we know where that room is?"

"I have to say that to all of my years in this house I never saw a room like that" he said confused.

"Then it must be a hidden room right?" Mai said surprising everyone.

"It seems that you become a little smarter. Good for you" Naru said in an ironic voice.

"Why thank you, you narcissistic bastard" she said back at him sure that will make him angry but he didn't seem to mind which angered her more. Meanwhile the others were laughing at their fight.

"You want to find the portrait room right? Then I will help you onee-san" the voice of the boy she saw earlier in her dream echoed in her head making her jump.

Mai looked at the others. They didn't seem to hear the voice.

'Am I the only one who can hear you?' she thought half sure he could hear her.

"Yes onee-san. I want to help you... To protect you... Repay for what I couldn't do back then... 93 years ago"

And thats it for now... Once again I leave at a cliffhanger XD please R&R
