I woke up the sound of my cell phone going off, "h-hello?" "Mai! You are an hour late and with have a new case get out of bed and hurry to work!" I cringed at Naru's tone; I ended the call and leaped out of bed. Honestly big mistake, I grabbed my sides and groaned in pain. I felt my cheeks heat up thinking about the night before. I shook my head "no time I am late and Naru is going to kill me!"

After racing through my shower I ran to work which was practically killing me. My body was sore and I felt very tired; I flew through the door seeing Naru shaking hands with a male client. The client left the room and I said "sorry Naru guess I didn't hear my alarm go off." He just gave me a glare and said "well then since you are finally here I want you will start packing up equipment. Lin call the rest of the crew we need to start moving out."

I groaned in annoyance and started to move the gear around and grabbing some boxes. I looked at Lin and I found him staring at me. I couldn't help but smiled at him; he smiled back at me. I couldn't help but blush, I quickly turned away going back to my business. After about 15mins I heard the door open and Monk appeared, "hey how's it going Mai?!" I smiled "alright just a little tired" he patted me on the head and he started helping me with the equipment. I grabbed a box and slowly made my way down the stairs; with the box being a little too tall I couldn't see too well, causing me to miss my footing.

I closed my eyes but felt someone grab on to me, I opened my eyes and saw a girl. She had dark eyes and dark long hair but had a red tint to it; I burst out laughing from relief which caused her to laugh with me. She took the box from me which she did with ease "where does it go?" I took her in and noticed she was beautiful, she also had an accent. "Oh um follow me by the way my name is Mai Taniyama what's yours?" I showed her the van and as she set the box in the back and she said "My name is Alice Hunter I am sure you can tell I have an accent." I was stunned at her response is she a mind reader?

I nodded and "yea are you American?" I nodded "yea my father is a business man and was transferred here." "Mai you are supposed to be working not goofing off with friends." I turned to see Naru, I then looked at Alice to my surprise wasn't drooling over Naru. She then said "Hello actually I saved your coworker and your equipment. From what it looks like I saved you from wasting money. I also helped her carry this box that was too heavy for her to carry."

I was amazed that she stood up against Naru; he shot her a glare and she was doing the same. I felt myself shrinking away in the background. Both dressed in black, it made them look even scarier; I could have sworn I saw lighting striking around them. Naru then said "well then that saves me from going out to find another assistant if this dummy got hurt." What a jerk! Then I said "jezz Naru will you relax? Calling me a dummy is one thing but she saved me and your stupid equipment and this is how you treat her?!" she held up her hand "don't worry about it Mai, all that matters is that you're ok and the equipment is in one piece."

She was about to walk away and was about to put her headphone on, I grabbed her arm. I then felt a sudden chill; an image appeared it realized it was from the last case. Seito pinning me to the glass window threatening me that he would kill me. The image ended and I saw her out of breath and looked tired I couldn't help but ask "what did you see?" I could tell that she was stunned by my remark but before she could ask I said "I felt us connect and I do the same thing when I see something." "Are you clairvoyant?" we looked at Naru as he closed the back of the van. "Yes I am"

I saw him cross his arms and say " I will pay you if you come help us on this case" she raised an eyebrow at him "why do you want me all of a sudden you have Mai." I was surprised at her remark and I could tell Naru was annoyed even if he held no expression. "Well if you don't want money then I guess you can leave." As he was about to walk away she grabbed on to his arm, he gave her a glare and as she moved her hand away she gave him a glare right back at him. "Alright I will take your offer what is it you guys do?" "Well isn't it obvious we are paranormal researchers."

Alice looked at the van and rolled her eyes, "well since you are coming with us gather some of your things we will be staying with a client." I nodded "well anyone can give me ride?" I had an idea so I grabbed her by the arm and ran into the office. "Hey Lin can you help a friend of mine? She needs to get s few things to help us on this case."

He then said "New friend?" I nodded "she actually stood up against Naru it was kind of scary" he laughed. I grabbed his hand and dragged him out to his car. After a quiet car ride to her apartment we made it back to SPR, she went off to place her bag in the trunk. I hugged Lin and I said "thank you, oh you know what's cool she is clairvoyant!" he hugged me back and said "sounds like you and her might become great friends." I smiled and let go of Lin when I saw Monk. I raced off to Alice grabbing her by the arm.

"Hey Mai who do we have here?" I then said "Hey monk meet a new member of our team!" he held his hand out and she shook it "My name Is Houshou Takigawa" I couldn't help but smile "Nice to meet you." The moment was broken when Naru told everyone to get in the vehicles.

I dragged her with me into the van, the car started and off we went. I then said "Naru what is going on in this case?" Naru opened his file "This man says his house his haunted, he says he really needs our help due to the fact his female staff is involved." I nodded "anything in particular?" he shook his head "his grandson wakes up screaming from nightmares, staff members end up missing sometimes they find them alive other times never found. This all began when they recently moved in; at first it was knocking sounds typical poltergeist stuff now it's escalating."

I nodded sounds something like the Labyrinth case my thought was broken when Alice spoke up. "By the way what is your name?" he looked at her through the rear view mirror "Kazuya Shibuya and yours?" she smirked at him "My name is Alice Hunter" (Bold is English.)

"You're American?" Alice nodded and said "yes my father was transferred her for business so here I am, how do you know English you speak Japanese well and really don't have an accent." He was silent for a moment "schooling and parents traveled a lot." (Back to Japanese)
I sat there slightly baffled on what they were talking about what was more baffling is Naru. I never really heard him speak English out in the open like that; even speak openly to a stranger. I smiled and couldn't help but think that Alice might be able to open up Naru. Something Masako or even I couldn't really do, oh I think Masako might have competition once again.

I busted out laughing with that thought; all of them looked at me like I was insane. "I um remembered something don't mind me." Then Alice broke out laughing, I smacked her in the shoulder and she smacked my leg. I was very excited for this especially that I have gained new friend.

-Ghost Hunt-

We arrived and saw a huge mansion stand before us, the outside painted white. A large blue door stood tall, It was beautiful but just looking at it made me feel uneasy. I looked at Alice and she had the same expression on her face. "Mai are you ok?" I looked at Monk and said "are you getting a weird vibe from this place or is it just me?" He gave me a questioning look "Maybe you are feeling that way because of an old case we dealt with before, you remember the Urado case? It was in a huge manor like this but this one I way smaller." I nodded "Yea maybe your right."

I looked around noticing the trees look terrible, it's early October and the condition they were in seemed like late November to December. I saw Naru walk up to me "Mai start unloading and have Alice help you" he nodded wait he called her by her first name too. I shook my head and I found her talking to the rest of the members of SPR. I tapped her on the shoulder; she smiled at my direction "hey Mai what's up?" I pointed to the van "yay heavy lifting" he smirked at her and had her follow me to the van.

When I stepped into this mini mansion I was stunned, it was beautiful a grand room with a large staircase. A red velvet rug ran from the main entrance all the way up the staircase, "wow." I felt Monk pat my head "nice place, come on Mai" I followed him to the far right and through a double door. I was once again stunned "wow! This is huge!" I set the box down on the table, a large dark wooden table stretched across the room. Art work covered the walls, I left the room.

As I was walking pass the stairs I felt someone watching me, I looked up and saw a shadow fly by. I looked at the top of the stairs, was that my mind playing games or did I really see something? "Mai? You ok?" I saw Alice walk up and stand next to me "um I could have sworn I saw somebody." "Um maybe it's someone who lives here?" I shrugged "maybe" I heard the door close "Mai!" I glared at Naru Jezz can't you say my name a little nicer? He walked up with a clip board in hand "take the temperature in rooms." I nodded "ok and is the client going to stay?" He shook his head

"They are gone; they went to some family dinner, Take Monk or John with you." I ran off to base and saw everyone setting up "Hey Monk we have to go take temperatures." He groaned I annoyance "I hate that job" I laughed "I do to but let's try not to have a grumpy Naru on our hands." In the dinning was a door and on the floor plan it lead to a small receiving room. We opened the door to see a fire place in the room with a love seat and a recliner. A small round table in the center, "so Mai what do you think of this Alice girl?"

As I wrote down the temperature in my chart I said "she seems really cool, I feel like we are going to be close friends." "Well I am sure she will fit in just fine, so has she said anything about Naru?"I rolled my eyes "surprisingly she hasn't! It's actually nice to have a girl on the team that isn't drooling over Naru for once." He started to laugh "you and Masako would!" "Well I know that but I have someone else in my life and I am quite happy, Masako can have him if she likes." Monk raised an eyebrow at me "Yea but I can tell that Naru doesn't like Masako that way or ever will."

I shrugged "well I hope she will eventually get that because I did and look at me now. I have Lin now and I am quite happy." We heard a scream echo through the halls "That sounded like Masako!" we raced out the room and up the stairs, I saw Alice pinned against the railing with Masako on top of her, "Alice, Masako are you ok?!" She nodded "yea luckily I was here to be a cushion for her, whatever it was sent her flying!" Monk looked deep in thought then said "we just barely got here and the spirits here are already acting up."

She helped Masako up and fixed her hair that was slightly disheveled, wow even with Messy hair she still looks pretty, as she fixed her she said"Yea usually they do take a while isn't it like 24 hours or so?" I felt someone presence and realized Naru and Lin standing behind me, "correct." Did Naru just acknowledge her remark? Not only that but also it looks like she knows her stuff. Well she is clairvoyant so she must of have done her homework, "well apparentlyit's in my room but now it's gone."

It got silent and I all I could say to break the silence "Some um how about I make everybody some tea?" But then the lights went out, "what's going on" Alice voice shook as she spoke. I felt the temperature dropped, I felt arms wrap around me. "Don't worry Mai" I relaxed when I noticed it was Lin's voice. I felt a slight chill, and before I knew it everything around me went black.

-ghost hunt-

My eyes began to adjust themselves, the lights flickered on and I noticed I was gripping Alice's wrist. "Alice?" why am I grabbing her wrist so hard? What happened? Why can't I remember anything? I let go of her arm and she slowly stood up, I could tell I irritated the skin. As she walked away she rubbed that spot, "What happened?"

He pulled me close to his chest; the sound of his heart beat was comforting. "You were possessed" I was possessed? How did that happened? Oh god I almost hurt Alice from the looks of it! Lin picked me up bridal style, he walked over and opened one of the guest room's doors and walked in. "Is Alice ok Lin?" he nodded "she is fine just a little frightened." He placed me on the bed; I felt myself slowly started to fade "I am so tired Lin" "then get some rest we will be close by ok?" I nodded and felt myself slip into darkness.

Yay that's it for now I hoped you like it! Sorry if some of the characters don't seem themselves but don't worry I will fix that, anyways tata for now! Thanks for your reviews and supporting this story! Octoberyuki.
