-It's been a week since they've returned from England, Mai has officially moved in to Naru's apartment-

Naru busted in the apartment door. "Last box." He said setting it down on a pile of boxes of about 30. "Mai you have a lot of stuff."

"I have a lot of stuff!" she yelled disbelieving from the bedroom. "For every tampon I own, or ever will own in my lifetime, you have like a bazillion books!"

"Let's not talk about your hygiene supplies." He called locking the door.

"Well get used to it pal! Now, where do I put my clothes?"

Naru sighed making his way to the bedroom. "Where ever you want, I'll have to get another dresser for you. Mine is full already."

"With books I bet." Mai muttered a little too loudly.

"Actually" he said picking her up like a bride. "I have socks, boxers, pajamas, t-shirts, pants and ties. You have panties, bras, skirts, shorts, jeans, leggings/tights, belts, socks, tank tops and a million other things. You will need a bigger dresser. But for now, let's just make out."

"No!" she squealed freeing herself from his arms. "We have a case tomorrow!" she reminded him. "If I let you fall back in your work because you have a skirt to chase in your apartment you would be mad at me all the time."

Naru raised an eyebrow, she was partially true, he had loads of work to research but all he wanted to do was mess with Mai's skirt. "I wouldn't get mad." He said crossing his arms.

"Well here's a little poem I wrote for you" she pressed a finger against his chest and looked up at him with her big brown eyes. "Go to work, chase a skirt" she chanted smiling. "Now what comes first?"

"Tea." He mumbled before moving to his desk in the living room.

"Close enough." She said making his tea. "So what's the case anyway?" she asked setting a hot cup next to his computer.

"A pastor friend of John's is having some problems with people going missing from his parish. He's also been hearing tools in the shed moved when it's locked, cold spots in the confession box (They tried moving it but it didn't work) Then he began to hear people cry, and see white figures praying in the pews."

"Sound's ghostly." She said smiling at him. "So, tomorrow 10:00 am don't be late Mai!" She said mimicking his tone of narcissist.

"Oh, I'll make sure of it." He said grinning at her, almost seductively.

"Work before skirt." She reminded him carefully. "But be in bed by a reasonable time tonight." She said pointing a finger. They kissed each other goodnight and Mai made her way to bed.

-The next morning-

Naru's alarm, that seemed to get louder the longer you leave it on woke Mai to find Naru already out of the shower.

"I could get use to towel Naru." She said smiling.

"Think of it as my skirt." He said grinning. "What comes before skirt?"

Mai groaned and threw a pillow at him, streaking into the bathroom before he could retaliate.

By the time they arrived at SPR they were first as always, though every time someone arrived they made sure to mention how surprised they were at Mai's early appearance, except Masako.

The ride was long and silent, like always. Lin and Naru talked back and forth in English which gave Mai the perfect time to sleep, except the moment they pulled onto the grounds Mai wanted to scream and run away, though she didn't know why.

It looked like a normal farm church, one room except for the basement used in case of emergency and the pastor's house out back. The thing that made Mai want to run was the fact that the entire yard was filled with grave markers. The church was surrounded by a cemetery. Even Lin looked uneasy.

When they parked a man in his 40's came out to greet them, all smiles and hugs. John smiled and shook the father's hand. "These are my friends, Ayako, Monk, Masako, Lin, Mai and Mr. Shibuya."

"My name is Father Bob, I'm also from Australia." He said using the best Japanese he could muster. "The basement has a bad leak, so I'm afraid you must use the chapel for sleeping quarters and base, but I've set up screens for privacy."

"That will be fine." Naru said. "Start bringing in the equipment." He ordered.

After all the equipment had been brought in and the room measured Mai noticed a little blond boy sitting behind mother Mary.

"Father, who's that?" she asked quietly.

"Oh that's Michael; His father died a few months ago, we're still trying to find his mother or any family for that matter. One of the ghosts scared him and he hasn't been speaking." He said sadly.

"Do you mind if I try?" Mai asked Father Bob nodded.

"If you can help, then by all means" Father Bob said.

Naru and the other watched Mai approach Michael, he shied away at first but let her come close. She smiled and laughed. We couldn't hear the words she was saying but her face said enough. After a few minutes of talking the boy lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Mai's neck, he was only about 4 years old. Mai smiled and let him sit on her lap and stroked his back.

"Well look at that." John said smiling. "I've been trying to get Michael to talk for months now, Mai takes five minutes and boom."

Ayako smiled. "Something about Mai is so warm; she can melt even the coldest hearts. isn't that right Naru!"

Naru's glare only made everyone laugh. Mai came back over, boy sitting on her hip.

"Michael, can you tell this man what you just told me?" She asked in a kind soothing voice.

"The ghost's, were praying." He said pointing at the pews. "Right there, they were all asking god for forgiveness."

"And" Mau prompted the little boy.

"A man in a black robe walks outside."

Mai smiled at the boy. "Good boy, you were very brave." Another minute passed and a heard of kids flooded the chapel. "Why don't you go play, and I'll come visit you later?"

Michael nodded and ran off to join the other children.

"I think he means a pastor." She said crossing her arms. "Man in black."

"We'll need records on every death and burial outside." Naru said addressing Father Bob.

"I'll give you a hand Father." John said following him from the room.

"Masako and Bou-san go around the grounds outside and check for spirits, Ayako I want you to make charms for every child here, and us." Naru ordered. "Mai, set up the equipment and don't forget the confession box."

Mai stepped into the confession box, setting up a mic and camera in the top corner. Then the door slammed shut, she tried to move it.

"Naru!" she called. "Hey the door's stuck!" She tried to move it again, the temperature dropped. She whipped around and turned the camera on.

"LIN THE DOOR IS JAMMED!" she yelled into the camera.

"Mai!" She heard Naru and Lin run over to her.

"The temperature dropped…and Naru….someone's in here with me."
