RoseThorn: I guess my inner Naru's whining finally caught up to me… He really wants to know more about what's going on.

Naru: Finally.*anger clouding judgment* Wait… Did you just say that I whine?

Mai: *frantic* Calm down Naru… It's okay, I don't think you whine. *whispers to fans* But I don't want to make Rose angry. *Talking to Naru again* Please read this note out loud. *puppy dog eyes*

Naru: *reads note quickly and throws it away* Hmph. RoseThorn doesn't own Ghost Hunt.

RoseThorn: *whispers in delight* He actually did it! *cue squeal*

Normal POV- A dark world (A/N I'm not telling you what it's called just yet)

In a land filled with darkness, one thing stood out. A giant castle jutted out from the barren black surrounding it. It radiated immense power, and stood intimidating and menacingly, towering higher than most mortals could see. Inside the castle was a giant hall, a throne room really. At the end of the hall, there lay a devastatingly beautiful chair. It was delicate but strong, beautiful but ugly- but that wasn't what caught most the most attention. No, what caught the most attention was the 'person' sitting on the throne.

A 'man' that was so beautiful that humans would call him inhumane if they ever lay eyes on him sat on the throne. Raven black hair framed a pale face with high cheekbones, pure red lips, and beautiful blood red eyes.

"Master, the arrangements have been made for you to go to the human realm," a black fog like substance made an appearance in the throne room.

"Good, I have already thought of the name I will use while I'm there…. From now on, until further notice, my name is Erai Akuma (A/N Yeah….. I just took 2 names and put them together)." The man smiled, his face lighting up as he did so, making him look even more beautiful- if such a thing was possible. "I will decide my appearance and personality when I get to the human realm, so you'll just have to find me by my aura if a problem arises. Understood?"

"Of course, Master," The black fog like substance almost seemed like it was bowing.

"You can go now." The man's face once again sported a disinterested expression. There was no trace of the smile from before.

'Master only smiles while thinking of the human realm. Though that's probably because that girl Taniyama Mai lives there…' The black fog started to disappear still lost in thought, and soon there was no trace of it at all.

The man on the thrown, newly named Erai Akuma, stood up and started to walk towards the left wall. As he did, a hole opened up. On the other side of the hole, you could see the busy lives of humans going on, a place full of life completely different from the one he was currently in. Erai Akuma walked through the hole, and, as soon as he stepped on the other side, his appearance completely changed.

His hair turned blond, his eyes blue, and though he still had the pale and handsome face, his beauty considerably dimmed. He no longer had the disinterested expression he had before. He now had a mishevious, energetic expression in his eyes- a complete opposite personality from the one before. He caught his reflection on the window of a building and smiled at himself (A/N Whoa… I just made a second narcissist appear!). 'This will have to work. I'm not as beautiful as before, but that makes sense as my real face would catch a lot of attention… Now I'm ready to see Mai again….. But maybe I should observe her first. I'm really interested in how she lives.

And so, with a mischievous expression, Erai Akuma started to walk slowly down the street, heading towards Mai's apartment.

At Mai's Apartment

Mai had woken up with a HUMOUNGOUS migraine. She didn't know whether it was because of the memories that had been stirred the day before, or because she had still been worrying even after he had made up her mind that he wouldn't come.

That was why when Mai had finally made it to SPR, late as usual, and saw Naru waiting there to possibly interrogate her about the events that had transpired the day before, she was in no mood to talk.

"Mai-" Naru started only to be interrupted when a dark, dark, DARK glare was shot to him from his current subject of interest. His eyes narrowed and, as he wasn't one to back down from a challenge, he glared back. And so began the glaring contest, where the 2 competitors didn't move until, possibly, the bravest person in the world came out of his office, started at him for a while, and decided to cough.

Immediately, the spell was broken, and Mai brushed past Naru and silently went to the kitchen to make teas. Naru and Lin stared after her.

"Well…. That was new," Lin was commented with surprise.

He was only rewarded with a grunt as Naru went back to his office. 'I'll question her when she comes back with the tea.'

Outside of the office, a very amused blond haired teenager had been watching the whole thing.

Naru: I thought you were going to give information.

RoseThorn:*ashamed* But I kind of did, didn't I? At least you know more….. And *happy* I got a name for him. It's Erai Akuma, as in lastname firstname like real Japanese people say…. Thank you everyone who sent me names! If you have any ideas for a case I'll be happy if you PM me…..

Naru: I knew you were stupid… You need help from your readers to make cases *smug*

RoseThorn: Fine! Just wait until the next chapter, I'll give you more info.

Naru: Hmph….

Mai: *watching and talking to fans* Don't you think Naru's warming up to Rose? But it might just be that he's trying to get information….. What do you think? REVIEW!
