Chapter 10: Kanami

Mai's Dream

"Huh, where am I?" Mai thought as she looked around trying to identify where she was. All she could see was darkness.

"Naru… Naru?" Mai said into the darkness hoping the boy would come forward. She waited and waited but Naru never showed up. She hoped he was just playing around and he would pop up any time soon, but she had a feeling that wasn't the case.

"Naru!" Mai called again looking around franticly.

Mai slid to her knees in defeat. She could not find the black clad teen anywhere. She covered her head with her hands trying to figure a way out of this dream… or nightmare.

Mai heard a rustling noise and looked up too see a landscape forming and she could slightly make out of the orphanage. She saw white glowing dots floating around the building. There had to be over 40 of them.

Mai saw something move out of the corner of her eye and after a few seconds she realized it was the same figure she spotted earlier that day that she thought was a human, or was a human. She floated down towards the figure and realized that it was indeed a person. She tried to get down closer so she might be able to see and other features but couldn't make out anything more.

Mai decided to go inside of the orphanage to see if she can find anything else. She floated threw the top window and saw a little girl around 9 or 10 years old with brown hair and eyes playing ball in the hall with her friends. There seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary so Mai deiced to go down to the next floor.

"Hey, Kanami, did it just get colder or is it just me?" A young boy said as he turned to face the brown haired girl, now know as Kanami.

After hearing that Mai stopped in front of the window and turned her head in interest to the children playing.

"N… No I feel it too Ryo." Kanami said as she wrapped her arms around her self in attempt to shield herself from the cold air.

"Maybe we should go tell Misaki? Come on lets go." One of the other kids said as they walked towards the stairs.

Mai saw the kids, along with, Kanami and Ryo nod there heads as they followed there friends to the stairs.

"Hold on a sec, I'm gonna go get the ball!" Kanami yelled as she ran back towards the bright blue ball they were recently playing with. Ryo nodded and told there friends her would wait for Kanami, and then they would meet up with them at the second floor where Misaki should be making lunch.

Kanami ran over to the ball being careful not to trip over the rug. She reached down to the ball and picked it up. Just as she was about to turn around someone yelled out to her causing her to freeze.

"Kanami, look out!" Ryo cried. Kanami spun around to see a vase floating in the air looking as if it were to come straight at her. She let the ball fall to the ground as she made a quick dash for the door. As soon as she was going to run though, the rug was pulled back and Kanami went tumbling to the floor. She looked back to see the vase flying at her. She immediately put her head down and covered her head with her hands. All she could feel was a sharp pain in her back and Ryo calling out to her as she fell unconscious.

Mai stopped looking after Kanami tripped and all she heard was a crash, shriek of pain, and Ryo worried and panic filled cries. The cries though slowly drifted off and Mai heard someone calling out to her.

'Wait! That was that was the incident that Misaki told us wasn't it…' Mai thought.

Mai turned towards the stairs wanting to see if she could gather more information. She unfortunately could not because the voice called to her again slowly bringing her out of her slumber.

"Mai, Mai!" Someone called.

End Dream

"Mai! Mai get up already!" The person called again, this time successfully waking Mai up.

"Huh" Mai mumbled sitting up slowly to see a very annoyed Naru by the door.

"Eh, Naru what are you doing in my room?" Mai asked confusion evident on her face.

"Well, lets see, it's almost 9 am, and you were supposed to be up at 8. But it's not very surprising that you forgot to set your alarm clock now is it." Naru answered, getting more annoyed every second.

"What?! Oops! I'm sorry." Mai yelled as she jumped out of her bed and grabbed her clothes from her bag. She ran into the bathroom and in no less then 3 minuets she was out and ready.

"I have to grab something from my room, you can go downstairs in the dining room where everyone else is." Naru said as he exited her room.

"Uh, ok." Mai said to know one, for Naru had already entered his room.

After a few moments of blinking Mai realized she was still late. She rushed out of her room and raced down the flights of stairs. She slowed down by the entrance to the dinning room not wanting to run into someone.

She successfully slowed to a walk and slowly made her way into the kitchen to have everyone in the SPR gang stare at her.

Since the SPR members got up earlier, or everyone but Mai did, and the children normally got up at 10, only the SPR gang was in the dinning room.

"Sorry I'm late, I forgot to set my alarm and Naru had to wake me up." Mai said looking embarrassed when she got to the part about Naru having to wake her up. She walked over to the chair in between Bou-san and John and sat down.

"It's alright Mai, I mean this isn't the first time you've forgotten to wake up on time." Bou-san said smiling and ruffled Mai's hair. Mai and everyone else in the room except for Bou-san, Lin and Masako sweat dropped.

'Was that supposed to help me?' Mai thought taking a peak at Masako smirk behind the sleeve of her kimono.

"Oww!!" Bou-san yelled clutching the now black and blue part of his head. "What was that for?!" He yelled at the miko who was twirling her purse around her finger by the strap with another hair brush in her hand, ready to chuck at the monk if need be.

"Do you seriously think that was going to help her?!" The miko yelled back at the monk. She raised her arm with the hair brush in it ready to throw at the monk. Bou-san seeing that motion jumped up from his seat to hide behind Mai.

"Uh guys, maybe me should just sit and wa" Mai started trying to talk over the miko and monks argument, but was cut off when she had to jump out of the way of an incoming hair brush.

"Ek! Ayako, watch where you thrown that." Mai said shakily, as she looked at the hair brush that was currently stuck in the wall.

Bou-san also slowly turned his vision over towards the brush and his eyes grew wide out of fear.

'Who… who knew she could throw that strong ha…ha. Time to run.' Bou-san though right before he took off in a beeline for the door, only to come face to face with a still annoyed Naru.

"What are you doing?" Naru demanded. Naru was leaning against the frame of the door, hands crossed over his chest, and glare in place.

'Well, someone's not happy.' Bou-san though. He was about to chuckle but them remembered the situation he was in.

'Ok, there is a pissed off Naru in front of me, and an angry Ayako armed with Hairbrushes, make up, and who knows what else. Well who's worse? Pissed off Naru, or angry armed Ayako? I'm going with Naru.' Bou-san thought again. A tapping sound which Bou-san soon realized was Naru's foot snapped him out of his life or death thoughts.

"Well?" Naru asked again a bit louder and sharper this time.

"Uh… nowhere…" Bou-san replied sheepishly as he quickly ran back to his seat next to Mai, but not before making sure Ayako wasn't getting ready to pelt him with more make-up and hair brushes.

Bou-san pulled out his chair and plopped down into it, and let out a sigh of relief.

Naru said nothing more as he walked over to his seat next to Lin and sat down. Immediately after sitting down, Naru pulled out small pocket sized black notebook from his coat.

"Even during breakfast he works." Bou-san whispered to Mai.

"Ya know, if you think about it, it's not all that surprising." Mai whispered back. Both Mai and Bou-san sweat dropped at that remark. "Plus the notebooks black." Mai added.

"Yea but I would be in shock if it wasn't, well maybe a dark… dark, dark blue won't be that surprising." Bou-san said, still whispering. The both laughed a bit and after making a few more jokes about Naru and his obsession with the color black they quieted down and waited for the food to arrive.

"Minasan ohayou gozaimasu!" Someone called as they entered the dinning room.

The SPR member's turned to see Sumire walking towards them with food in her hands. When she reached the table, she place bowls of rice, rolled omelets, and toast on the table for everyone.

"Thanks you." Everyone said to Sumire, who smiled and nodded in response.

"Itadakimasu." Everyone said in unison as they picked up there chopsticks and began to eat there breakfast before starting there work.

By the time they were all finished eating it was 10:10am which would mean that the children would soon be up and about. After everyone was finished eating they all went up to the base to receive there orders.

"Ok, today we will look around outside. Hara-san, you and Matsuzaki-san will once again, walk around the grounds sensing for any spirits. Bou-san, you will look around and see if you find anything suspicious or something that looks out of place. Also if you spot any children out here ask them if they have seen anything strange outside. Lin will stay here researching and keeping an eye on the cameras. Mai and Brown-san will come with me." Naru said is a business like tone.

"Hai!" Everyone said as they stood up, except for Lin, and filed out of the base.

They all walked down the flights of stairs to the bottom floor. Mai was leading and instead of going out the front door she turned to the side and walked down a different hallway to another door. She opened it to reveal that it lead to the back yard.

When Mai got out she smiled and looked around, even the back was the same as she remembered it. There were roses everywhere along with many other different breeds of flowers. Each one lightened up the yard in its own way. There was a little lake in the back with a fountain in the middle. In the fountain there were lily pads and water lily's floating atop the water. The water was crystal clear and glistened as the sun hit its surface.

'It's the same as I last saw it. I'm so glad not much has changed. Thought it is slightly surprising that nothing has changed, but wither way, I'm glad.' Mai thought happily with a smile still on her face.

"Wow Mai, nice yard." Bou-san commented looking around as well.

"I agree." Ayako said as she walked around, and then smiled at Mai.

"Thanks, well let's get to work!" Mai spoke, determination in her voice. She began running off in the direction of the lake to begin her investigation totally forgetting abut Naru, John, and the fact that Naru didn't tell them what they were supposed to be looking for.

"Uh, Mai… Wait up!" John said as he ran after Mai followed by Naru.

"Huh? What?" Mai asked as she stopped to turn around after hearing the priest call after her. John came to a jog as he reached her. When he was less then a foot away he stopped and leaned over putting his hands on him knees and tried to catch his breath.

Naru just walked over and stopped next to John. Unlike the priest though, Naru was completely composed.

"Mai, would you be able to handle being an idiot after you get the directions so we don't have to run after you." Naru demanded.

Mai turned red from anger and was about to shout back at her boss, but them turned red from embarrassment moments after realizing she did run off not know what in the world she was supposed to do.

"Ok Naru, will you please explain it then already." Mai stated after almost all the red cleared from her face.

"Well, since you apparently remember how everything looked and seem to surprisingly have a very good memory, though I don't see how that could be compared to how stupid you are. Since you do though I want you to walk around the property and see if anything seems to have changed drastically or even just a bit, anything could be a clue. John and I will be following behind you taking notes of anything you find or we do." Naru said as he looked down at his clipboard, then handed one to John.

"Ok, well let's start in the front and work our way back." Mai said. She turned around and started walking towards the front of the orphanage.
