Hey! Yay update! I am tired I went to an AFI concert and it was incredible! I love them and ugh I am beat from being sardined the entire time x) anyways how was your weekend guys? Also I wanted to thank you guys for the support and the reviews, even one just makes me happy anyways hope you like it!

I felt like my mind was swimming; I felt like I was underwater. "What's going on, am I possessed again?" I opened my eyes and noticed I was underwater; I fought with all my might. When my head broke through the surface, my eyes flew open. I slowly sat afraid if I moved to quickly I would pass out. "I guess I was possessed again, new record for me." I gently placed my feet on the ground and slowly made my way to the door. The air in here feels much lighter now; I walked to the stairs to see a dancing Alice and SPR's men.

"Mai" Lin rushed to my said and Alice turned her attention towards me. "What are you doing up, you should be resting." I couldn't help but smile at him, "I'm ok but is Norio gone?" "Yup" I turned my gaze to Alice, "and I got rid of him!" Whoa she got rid of him? All I could really say was "How" she smirked and said "I got rid of him by pretending that I am Yuzuki, and it worked, I am amazing." I rolled my eyes Oh great another Naru! "We don't need another Naru, One's enough!"

She began to laugh and I couldn't help but smile while Naru shot me a glare. "If you two are done I suggest we get back to work, all of you start packing we are leaving." As I was about to make my way I felt Lin wrap his arms around my waist and bury his face in my hair. "You need to stop worrying me" I giggled "I'm sorry, I didn't mean too, honestly they just walk in like an open door." He released a heavy sigh "we can fix that, you can control it Mai." I nodded "alright sounds like a plan" he released his grip and we both walked to base.

Everything was packed and I saw Alice walk by with the last box, I took one more glance around the hall before I turned around and headed outside. "Mai" Monk ran up to me and brought me into his arms, "C-can't…B-breathe…" I pushed him away "come on Mai I was worried about you!" I let out a heavy sigh "Well like I said I couldn't Breathe and I am sorry that I worried you." He patted my head "I know but I can't help but to worry about you, you are like my little sister."

I smiled "awe Monk!" I flew into his arms "hey now are crushing me!" I pulled away and began to laugh "sorry I forget that you are an old man." He brought me into a headlock, "Old huh? You're the one with the white hair!" I bit his hand "OW" I moved away, "I may have the white hair but I am not the one with the wrinkles." We both began to laugh, "Mai!" I looked past monk and saw Alice waving me over "Let's go!" I ran over to the van and hopped in, "Ready to go Alice?" she smiled at me, such a nice smile. "Yup so ready" the van purred to life, Lin and I made contact to the rearview mirror. I smiled and we drove away heading back home.

ALICE'S POV (packing up)

All of us swarmed the base and began to pack everything up. As I passed by the front entrance, I saw Naru talking to the client. I happily made my way outside and shoved the box in the van I noticed the grass had some life to it now. The trees had a little green to them now; I smiled I guess since Norio's negative presence is gone the house has some life to it now. I skipped my way back in and grabbed the last box off the table and once again made my way outside. "Good to go!"

I shut the back of the van; I turned to see the client violating my figure once again. Why me! Mom why did you have to give me these feminine fatale looks! Oh no…I have become a Naru! "Alice thank you for coming" I nodded and smiled "no problem thank Mr., Shibuya really he is the one that took your case after all."

He grabbed my hand and I froze from his touch don't touch me! I wanted to flee but he is our client "Alice I am glad I got to meet a beauty such as yourself." I looked down at my shoes "um thank you sir" someone placed a hand on my shoulder. "Mr., Nakamura we will take our leave, please don't touch my assistant."

I blushed from his comment, thank you Naru! Nakamura send Naru a deadly glare as he tossed my hand away from his grip. "I am sure a girl such as her isn't so innocent, I am sure she manipulates and teases men with that luscious figure." I looked at him with utter shock as his word; did this bro…call me a tramp? I tease men, I seduce them? Are you serious this is new to me!

My heart was pounding hard against my chest, but this time it wasn't anger but from something else. I felt my eyes began to water, don't cry Alice; I then calmly and collectively said "Excuse me sire, I am no such thing." I felt Naru grab my hand and tug my away from the man; a single tear slid down my cheek.

I leaned against the van, letting my anger and humiliation slowly dissipate. "Alice, can I show you a trick?" I looked at him confused I don't think it's a good time. "I um…alright" He then pulled out a coin, "Met my pet" I felt myself do a double take. "Um that's your pet? Is just a measly 500 yen" The coin vanished "See he hide because you made fun of him."

"Wait um no I didn't you hid him!" He then showed me his hands, what the?! He then reached behind my ear; I blushed from the close contact. "Ah here his" "Hey how did you? Let me see it!" "Well then here catch." I saw the coin go up and I held my hand out; but I noticed I wasn't coming down. "Hey you didn't throw it!" I crossed my arms against me chest, "You got so frustrated you scared him off"

"Uh wait no I am not frustrated" I giggled. He then reached into his coats collar and said "Ah here he is." I smiled "wow that's pretty cool!" He held up the coin again "You think so?" I leaped about a foot in the air "It spoke!" "Alice is weird isn't she?" "Mm-hm" that is so funny, I can't imagine a guy like him would be like this or do such a thing.

"That's awesome! Do some more!" He placed the coin away, "he decided to retire for bit, let's go home." I smiled; I gave him a quick embrace and backed off before he got angry "thank you Naru, let's go home." I skipped to the other side of the van, "and shouted Mai let's go!" I leaped into the van and I saw the other door open; "Ready to go Alice?" I nodded at Mai "Yup so ready!" The car purred to life; I turned and looked out the back window. The house slowly faded from my view.

-Ghost Hunt-

Mai's POV

After my short lived vacation away from SPR, as I was going through paper work I saw Alice walk through the door. "Morning Alice" she smiled her hair fell on her back like a veil. She wore a simple black skirt and a white deep v neck shirt "Morning Mai!" I couldn't help but smile; she is so nice! "What can I help you with?" I waved her over and said "Well you can start by filing and some paper work." She nodded "alright sounds good."I showed her the ropes and she caught on pretty fast which made me pretty happy. After about ten minutes I heard the great narcissist holler from his lair, "Mai Tea."

Alice broke out in laughter while I fumed with anger, "Can't you say please?" Alice gripped her sides from hard she was laughing, "Mai you are so funny." I glared at her playfully "glad I can entertain you." She rolled her eyes "why don't you give Master his Tea" she winked. I then marched down the hall and into the kitchen to prepare 'Masters' tea. I placed the kettle on the stove; I wonder can Lin and Naru help Alice and me out. Our gifts are out of control, I am kind of scared to go on the next case whatever it is.

The kettle screamed on the top of is iron lungs; I began to poor Naru's tea when Alice came in. "Hey the client is here you are going to need some more cups." I left out a heavy sigh "If you want I can help you" I shook my head "don't worry about it go ahead without me I will be right there." She vanished from the room "There we go to the Narcissist liking." I entered the room and began to serve everyone some tea. The woman was about her late thirties with short fiery red hair and fiery hazel eyes.

"You see I am hosting a play at the theater downtown. Since its October we decided to do the story of Dr, Jekyll and Mr., Hyde." Hm again I think I read something like that at school, "Amazing I love that story." I smiled at Alice's reaction, I looked at Naru to see he was giving that look of 'not now' more like 'shut up stupid.' "Yes, anyways every time we practice even just reading the script things begin to happen." Naru crossed his arms across his chest; I could tell he was getting impatient. "Like what?" She then gazed into her cup and said "change of temperature, way too cold to be the AC, my lead man is always in harm's way! Like a couple of days ago if it weren't for the tech group up above the stage the spot light would have crushed him to death! Not only that but when he tried to practice the last scene, he was thrown off the stage by some weird invisible force!"

I was stunned at her occurrences, I looked at Alice and we both had the same expression on our face. "We will take you case, we need room to set up our equipment and a place to stay in." she nodded "the main lobby is pretty wide it also has some restrooms as well." He nodded "thank you and we will see you tomorrow afternoon." She smiled and said "thank you Mr., Shibuya thank you!" She left quickly and said "Mai call the group and see who can possibly come and join us on this case,

Alice are you available?" She nodded "yes I should be" he then raised a brow "aren't you supposed to be at school?" she shook my head "no I take online classes, school is easy and I always got picked on so yea." He said nothing else and then walked away and then vanished in his office. I couldn't help but to ask "Why do you get picked on Ali?" She gave me a gentle smile, "cute my mom use to call me Ali,well if I try to become friends with a guy well not all guys would do this but he would then either try to get his way with me. The girls well they well look at me then I don't know practically bully me, I didn't even do anything. I had a few girlfriends but the bullying was too much so I decided to take online classes."

I noticed a glimmer of sadness in her eyes and face; I frowned and then pulled her into an embrace. "Ali-chan. I am sorry, they were just jealous of how awesome of a person you are! But don't worry I am here and I am your friend! We are your friends! SPR is your family now!" I pulled away and I could see some moisture starting to form in her eyes, I could tell I pulled some heart strings.

"Mai" I gave her a soft smile, "Oh Ali by the way should you call your parents?" She shook her head "My dad is always working and my mom…she died from an illness." I frowned, wow Ali and I have something in commen…"I am sorry I know how you feel, my dad died when I was very young and my mom died when I was in middle school. So it's just me" she grabbed my hands "I am sorry Mai" I shook my head "Don't worry I am fine SPR is my family now, and you are our new addition!" she giggled "awe Mai, now let's get back to work before Naru gets mad!" we both laughed at the thought as we walked back to her desk.

DUN DUN DUN!

Naru POV (IF he seems a little OC I deeply apologize I am trying the best I can.)

I closed the door behind me and leaned against it; the encounter with Nakamura came into mind. "I am sure a girl such as her isn't so innocent, I am sure she manipulates and teases men with that luscious figure." Her pained ridden face slowly came into mind; I felt anger rise in my chest. Why am I feeling this way? Why am I so angry? Is it because he insulted my assistant? It only makes sense, offending her is practically offending me. "or maybe because she is growing on you?"

"Gene?"

"Noll, what I think is impossible actually possible?

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Sure, I think she is growing on you, I mean you are human. When she hugged you, you didnt even tell her not to do that."

"I don't tell Ms., Hara not to touch me."

"That's because you are afraid she will tell the rest of the group who you really are you idiot scienctist. But you do glare at Masako, you didn't glare at Alice."

"I didn't get the chance to."

"Sure, come one I noticed you sometimes stare when she isn't looking!"

I felt a wave of confusion consume me, did I stare at her?

"When that jerk Nakamura called her a tramp! You got very angry I was almost scared that you were going to use your PK on him."

"That's because when he offended my assistant he offended me and my business."

"sure, the fact that he hurt that girl bugged you. I think you like herNoll. I feel not cause of her beauty, Oh no not lust. Maybe because she is this unique being, you never really encountered someone like this before. Well Mai is a unique girl; I felt like you connected to her cause she was an orphan too. I think you felt something but couldn't figure it out. Well She is happy with Lin now, good for her.

I left out a heavy sigh "I think you are insane, look I have things to do and need Tea so I will talk to you later."

"Don't be afraid Noll, you are human remember? Till another time you idiot."

I shook my head, as I opened the door to yell for tea I heard Mai say "Why do you get picked on Ali?" Immediately I closed my mouth, "well if I try to become friends with a guy well not all guys would do this but he would then either try to get his way with me. The girls well they well look at me then I don't know practically bully me, I didn't even do anything. I had a few girlfriends but the bullying was too much so I decided to take online classes." I felt like people these days don't have a brain anymore; people can be the lowest of the low. I would kill the boys that tried to have their way with her. Wait what?

I shook my head and kept listening "Ali-chan. I am sorry, they were just jealous of how awesome of a person you are! But don't worry I am here and I am your friend! We are your friends! SPR is your family now!" I smirked that was always a trait I enjoyed about Mai; she had a big heart and a mouth to go with it too. "Oh Ali by the way should you call your parents?" I shook my head "My dad is always working and my mom…she died from an illness." It was silent for about a second before Mai spoke up "I am sorry I know how you feel, my dad died when I was very young and my mom died when I was in middle school. So it's just me"

So Alice is alone somewhat, she did tell me she had her father who thought she was a little crazy. But I didn't know her mother died. Well I do remember when she mentioned her mother; her eyes did hold some sadness behind them. Why didn't I catch that before?

I then heard Mai say, "Don't worry I am fine SPR is my family now, and you are our new addition!" I couldn't help but silently agree with Mai, SPR acted like a small family. I heard Alice giggle, I felt my chest hitch. Damn it why did my chest hitch? "Awe Mai, now let's get back to work before Naru gets mad!" I felt my face form into a glare; I walked out and said "Mai tea!"

Mai's POV

I placed my head against my desk; ugh I have nothing to do. Ever since Ali started to come in and help I haven't had much to do, but at least it gets done! I stood up and stretched "Lin do you want some tea?" He paused from typing and said "how could I say no to your tea?" I smiled "you did before" he smirked "well I am not saying no now am I?" I smiled and walked over "true but I am pointing out you use to say no."

He pulled me onto his lap, I couldn't help but turn beat red "yes but that's all in the past we are talking about now." I placed my head on his shoulder "your right, anyways I better get the tea going I have a feeling that 'Master' will shout for tea pretty soon." He raised a brow "Master?" he laughed "yea Alice called him that, inside joke really." He smiled and then right on cue "Mai tea!" My cheeks puffed out in anger "Can't you say please!"

I leaped off Lin's lap and stormed into the kitchen, "stupid jerk freaking narcissist." I placed rummaged through the cupboard and found the kettle, "Hey you." I looked up and saw Alice and John "good afternoon Mai" I smiled "Hey you two, Did you catch a ride with John Ali?" Ali looked nice in black skinny jeans and white tank top with black see through black long sleeve. John always looked nice, he wore a light blue polo and dark blue jeans.

She looked at him then back at me "Somewhat, remember i said I walked everywhere? Well I was walking to the office and this nice gentleman saw me and decided to give me a ride." I smiled as I placed the kettle on the stove. "Awe john you are too nice, thank you for picking up our dark princes." She snorted "dark princess? Where did that come from?" I smirked "because all the black you wear" she placed her hands on her hips "Well I love the color black, what can I say I do look amazing."

The kettle screamed and puffed my cheeks out in annoyance "Oh no not in this kitchen we don't need another Naru!" she began to laugh and said "I know but I love to make you grumpy! You are so cute when you're grumpy!" John sweat dropped "well I can't argue with that, you are pretty funny when you a flustered Mai." I poured Naru's tea and said "I am so glad I can entertain you" sarcasm dripping from my words. Mai and John followed me to the office; I knocked on the door "Come in."

I walked in and placed his tea on his desk while he kept his face in a book. "Hey Naru" "Hello Kazuya" he shut his book and said "you two can start helping Mai with the equipment." Alice then said "well hello to you too master, and I will get on that right away." She turned around and grabbed John by his arm and dragged him away. I smiled and before I left the small room Naru asked a question, "Did Alice walk here?"

I gave him a questioning look but said "Um yes, she usually walks everywhere. Remember that she said that in the last case? That why she has the blade to protect herself but anyways John found her walking and was kind enough to give her a ride." He said nothing more and I knew that was my cue to leave that was a little weird?

-Ghost hunt-

I sat in the van with Ali next to me, one headphone in her ear. I couldn't help but wonder why Naru asked about her. I do remember what Madoka said but still it's Naru, why would he care. Honestly as long as she got to work on time, as mean as it sounds that's Naru. The van pulled to a stop and saw there was a long Line, I opened my window and looked out to see a bus was on its side. "Looks like an accident Naru" he groaned in annoyance. "I can see that Mai" I then looked at Ali who was looking out her window as well.

I looked out again and saw a group of people walking away from the bus, "shouldn't those people go to the hospital, why are the walking away from the sight?" "Mai there is no one walking away from the sight, what people?" I looked at Lin, "don't you…see them?" Ali then scooted over and placed her hand hands on the side of my head. "Let me see" I gave her a questioning look "What?" she let out a slow breath "remember that time we link in the case and we first met? Let me see what you're seeing, this is a long shot but let's see if we can do it again." I nodded feeling nervous, she closed her eyes and I did the same feeling that pull.

The Image of the injured people walking away appeared into my mind, it's like she pressed the rewind button on a video. The image faded and she moved away and looked out her window, "I don't see those people" I looked out again and saw the people starting to fade in a bright light. I gulped "that's because there dead, there people who died from the crash. But I see them clear as day, like as if I was looking at you Naru or Lin." Naru turned around in his seat, I began to panic. This is to scary, for crying out loud I am having a hard time to tell the living from the dead!

"Mai calm down, if you begin to panic you will lose control and your PK will spike." I took in a deep breath and Ali grabbed my hand "it's weird Naru, I looked through her thoughts and I don't blame her. The way she saw them, if is as she were seeing actual people." Naru then turned his attention towards Ali, "wait you saw what she saw?" she nodded "it's like I told you before, through touch and especially if I concentrate. I forgot to mention this but in the last case but Mai and I linked during a vision both seeing the same thing. It's like I plug my brain with hers."

I could tell Naru was very interested in what she just said and then smirked "so she does have a brain." I rolled my eyes "yes I do you jerk" Ali began to laugh, her laughter relaxed me. The van began to move again "thank god we are out of here!" Ali released my hand and leaned her head against the window; I did the same and felt my eyes getting heavy. I let out a yawn and let myself fade into darkness.

Oh hopes you like it how was your weekend guys?! Mine was awesome went to an AFI concert and It was Brutal! Anyways thanks for the reviews! Even one just makes me smile! Hope you liked it and till then tata for now Octoberyuki.
