Okay Chapter 4! This one was a little harder to do because well, it's Naru...he wasn't cooperating too much while writing this, but that's okay!

Disclamer: I DON'T OWN anything...I'm still a minor...

Thanks to those who reviewed:) I feel loved eyes starting to tear...okay now to the CHAPTER! I hope you Enjoy!

Chapter 4

Last time: "My name is Jack, I believe my sister Jessica came and talked to you about the house."

Naru's POV

"Yes she did, my name is Kazuya Shibuya, I'm the owner of SPR (sorry didn't want to spell it out)." Jack came up to me and held out his hand for me to shake and to put on that I'm polite I reached out and grasped his hand.

"Thank you for looking into this for us. If there is anything that you need, please don't hesitate to ask me or my sister." He let go of my hand with a smile and walked out of the room. After I got my file that I had made up last night about this case, Ms. Check made an appearance.

"Morning Ms. Check." Mai so nicely greeted our client with a smile. Ms. Check smiled back and said her good mornings to everyone. I looked up at her and saw that she looked calmer today than she did yesterday in person and on the phone.

"Please there is no need to be so formal with me, please call me Jessica." She looked at me and smiled. I don't understand why everyone has the need to smile at me; my politeness doesn't include smiling back. Why does someone like this, a person who strikes me as a person who doesn't like to worry live in a place like this? A place that holds murders, why wait till now to do anything about it? It doesn't make any sense.

"Jessica, would you mind telling me the history of this house?" I asked, I guess me asking that made her feel really uncomfortable. There is something here that is off. "It would help in the investigation if we know the details; it will also make this go faster if we don't have to start with nothing."

"Naru!" Mai yelled at me, I know what she's going to say, 'stop being a jerk,' you would think that she would know that I don't care by now.

"It's okay Mai, I understand." Jessica quickly said in my defense. "Maybe you would like something to drink before I start though."

"I'll make some tea." Mai said while she went off.

"I'm going to go get my brother, he knows more about the history of the house better than I do, this way I don't leave anything out." With that Jessica and Mai were gone.

"Lin, what have you found out so far?" I asked him.

"That the client's family has been living in this house for some time but I don't have the details quite yet." He informed and he's still typing on the computer. Mai was back in 5 minutes with tea and some coffee for everyone.

"Where is Jessica?" She asked, and Takigawa filled her in and she did her oh expression and went and served everyone their drink. "Here's your tea Naru." I looked up at her and saw her trademark smile on her face as she handed me my tea.

"Thank you." I heard a gasp and the room got quiet and everyone was staring at me, hell even Lin was staring. Then I realized what I said. "What I can't thank her once in a while?"

"You don't ever thank me." Mai so kindly pointed out to me. Right then Jessica and Jack picked the perfect moment to walk back into the room.

"Jessica told me that you want to learn the history of this house." Jack stated while he walked in.

"Yes it will help with the investigation." You would think that, that would be obvious. Jack and Jessica came in and sat down on the couch and I moved to the wall opposite and leaned against it. "You can start at any time that you wish."

"Well the house was built in 1740 for a painter named Daichi Kiyoshi and his wife. He wanted a house out here because at the time the landscape was beautiful and not many people lived here yet. Around the year 1745 young men in this house started to disappear but no one knew why, I believe in total 6 men disappeared. Then in 1753 his wife disappeared and also a maid. No one knows why or where they went or even if they were alive after they disappeared. In 1755 Kiyoshi died, it was recorded that he drowned. There are many rumors on why he drowned but the one that was on record for the official why he died was that he slipped and hit his head and in turn he drowned in the tub. Personally I don't believe that but then again my opinion doesn't matter in a case that happened 250 years ago. (This story is happening in 2005 just some outside info incase you were wondering) Then in 1760 our ancestors bought the house and we've been here since then." What surprised me was the fact that he said this as if it was no big deal.

"How many deaths has there been so far since your family moved in?" I asked. He looked at me with disgust as if I asked about his sex life or something.

"You make it sound as if we had something to do with this." Well let's see…YOU LIVE HERE!!!!! I kept my mask in place even though I really what to yell at him.

"I don't want to go speculating how many people have died here when your family has owned the house, because I could miscalculate and that could make this case that much more harder and take longer than if you just tell me."

"Fine," he replied in an I-can't-believe-I'm-doing-this tone, "14 including the 2 recent deaths of the girls." That wasn't so hard was it? I let a smirk play on my lips.

"Thank you for your cooperation, I will need to talk to those who knew the 2 girls if possible."

"Of course, but you'll have to wait till tomorrow." Jessica quickly butted in which I can't say was a bad thing.

"Why?"

"We gave them a few days off to get over the shock. Those who aren't here knew both girls." She told us with her looking at the floor.

"Alright, just send them here when they come in." With that I turned to Lin.

"Thank you for the information." Mai quickly said, I guess Jake was glaring at my back.

"Your welcome," Jack replied, "if you please excuse me I have to get ready for some interviews for the now opened positions in this house." With that Jack was gone, and after a few seconds I heard Jessica leave too. I made sure that my back was turned before giving orders.

"Mai go and take the temperatures of all the rooms that you can, and Takigawa go with her and make sure she doesn't get into any trouble." I let a smile hit my lips when Mai started to argue that she wasn't going to get into trouble. She's kind-of looks cute when she gets flustered. Wait, did I just think the word 'cute'? She must be getting to me. Shoot…

I hoped you enjoyed this more than I did trying to think like Naru...that wasn't too easy. Well till next chapter!
