Hi, guys. Thank you so much of the help in finding the anime/manga. Some people have asked if, when I find out, I could tell them. The one I was looking for was called Hatenkou yuugi aka. Dazzle. Although I have to say the manga is definitely better than the anime.

Thank you once again and I hope you enjoy the chapter. Oh... and please comment.

"Mai. Mai. You need to get up we have a case." Naru told Mai, shaking her shoulder in an attempt to wake her up.

"Five more minutes..." Mai muttered borrowing deeper into the covers.

Naru sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Mai, get up. Now." Naru practically shouted, ripping the covers away from her.

Mai jumped awake as the cold air hit her, "Naru!" She shouted.

From downstairs, the rest of SPR were waiting patiently as they heard the scuffle between the couple. They found the emotion in their young bosses voice odd to hear. The fact that Mai was screaming at him for 'daring to yank a cover off of a sleeping woman', Mai's words not theirs, and Naru was openly teasing her relentlessly.

Lin, of course, had gotten use to Naru's sudden emotional standing when it came to Mai. He would tease her, worry about her and even turn gentle toward her. At first these things had surprise Lin but now it had become quite common to see his employer with such expressions when around the Japanese girl. Lin made a quick reminder to himself to call in on Naru's mother and father and well as M, he hadn't contacted them since they had found Mai six months ago.

Six months ago... SPR's reunion seemed much longer than that but it truly had. Six months ago Mai was shooting arrows at a target and working at a restaurant. Six months ago Monk had just finished his music tour and Ayako was working in the hospital along side her father. Six months ago Yasu was at university, Masako was at an interview on TV and John was at an orphanage spending time with the children. Yet, it all felt like it had happened years ago.

"Is everyone ready?" Naru called indifferently as he walked down the stair followed by a very grumpy looking Mai, who was mumbling something along the lines of 'rude, narcissistic, arrogant, idiot scientist'.

"Yes." The team called back.

As the team drop through Sorachi Subprefecture, Mai gazed out of the Vans window lost in thought. It wasn't long before she stopped the tall metal structures and flashing lights, it was a carnival.

Her eyes were immediately mesmerized by the different colored lights that glowed, flashed and beamed like a rainbow captured and bottled into thousands of little bulbs. As they got closer everyone in the van (Lin, Naru and Mai) could hear the excited screams of children, food vendors shouting and music from the booths of the games of chance. They were so close now that Mai could see the power cables lying hazardously in the grass. A roller coaster caught her attention most. It towered over the carnival and surrounded it as the sky surrounds the Earth.

Mai continued to gaze longingly at it, wishing she could be there. She wanted to feel the sweet candyfloss melt in her mouth, shake with the adrenalin rush of after coming off of a ride, taste the mild vanilla flavor of coke. But she couldn't: They were here on a case. However just as Mai told herself that, she saw an extremely familiar face walking up to the shooting booth with an equally familiar woman.

"Stop the car." Mai demanded.

He sudden words shocked Lin into doing as she had ordered and before he or Naru could stop her Mai was flying out of the car.

"MAI!" Naru shouted reaching out for the brunette, only to miss her by inches. Then, without hesitating, Naru followed Mai out onto the carnival grounds. "Mai." The brown haired, brown eyed girl was a short distance away from him now but she didn't turn toward him as he called. What was she doing? Why was she so determined on her destination?

Mai continued to walk quickly through the crowds, ignoring Naru's angry and frantic calls. All she could think was, why were they here? Not that she wasn't happy to see her old friends but for them to be this far from their place of business... Out here in Sorachi Subprefecture.

"Let me take it from here Naomi." A gruff masculine voice said.

"Oh really..." Naomi scoffed.

"Of course, I have to prove my manliness to my woman." The man said almost completely seriously.

"Yeah." Mai interrupted the two jokingly. "Nothing says manly like a three foot pink teddy bear."

The couple turned toward the familiar voice, there faces showing every ounce of surprise they felt. "MAI!" They screamed together before tackling the Japanese girl.

Mai laughed, "Good to see you too Shiro, Naomi."

"Oh my God, Mai. Where have you been? It has been ages since you contacted us. What have you been doing? Has you boss been giving you any trouble? I could ask Kaito to..." Naomi said. Her words tackling her just as surely as the couple had done moments ago.

Mai wriggled out of her friends arms and laughed, "Calm down, Naomi. I am fine. Look at me... Completely fine."

"Mai."

Mai turned to Naru calling her name. He was easily maneuvering around the crowd and to Mai it seemed as if he gracefully danced around the people. Her eyes subconsciously narrowed of any of the woman who dared to take a second, hungry look at him. In fact, one of the females he had glided around began to stalk toward him like a lion stalked toward its prey.

When Mai turned toward Naru he saw her eyes narrow and the flash with fire at something behind him. He was about to look back when Mai reached out her hand, grabbed his, and pulled him towards her. Her arms wrapped around Naru's waist and when he looked down at her in surprise, he saw her glaring murderously around his arm. A light bulb flashed in his head and he smirked, she was jealous that someone behind him was looking at him. Naru didn't know why but at this realization something in his jut fluttered, but he brushed if off. Mai always caused his body to do weird, unreasonable things... and it wasn't just the hormones.

Even as Mai openly claimed her territory of the man, the woman still advanced toward him. The woman had long, blond hair that just about reached her hips and her eyes were bright blue; obviously she was a foreigner, maybe English. She wore, what Mai thought were, cheap, trashy, large hoop ear rings and a belly bar, which could be clearly seen as she was wearing a blood red tank top that clung disgustingly to her skin. To make matters worse, she wore black, leather shorts that looked more like underwear and heels to high that Mai was surprised the woman hadn't broken her neck.

"Can we help you with something?" Mai asked stiffly, a vein blistering on her forehead. The woman had wiped all thoughts of meeting her dear friends from her head.

"You can't, but he can." The woman purred, indicating to Naru.

Naru now looked at the woman with cold indifference but that didn't phase her. "Why don't you leave these people and come join me, it'll be fun."

"No thank you." He told her, turning away.

"Why not? I am far better than this one." She whined pitifully.

"Didn't you hear him? He said no and besides he already has Mai." Mai glanced up in shock and Naomi, but she just gave Mai that smile that said 'you can't hide anything from me'.

The woman huffed and then sent a glare towards Mai as if she knew Naomi was naming her. Hey, at least the girl had some brain cells. "What is so good about her? I am far better in looks and experience than she is."

Mai looked at the woman with a small smile. It was a smile Naru had seen plenty of times before. It was the one that told him she was up to something. "I am sure there are plenty of other people you can seduced into a one night stand. However jealously is a disease and just because I can keep a guy doesn't mean you should be jealous. I hope you get well soon."

Mai turned her back on the woman and the group began to walk away. "Hey! The woman shouted behind them. You B****, I a not done talking with you."

People around them started to turn toward them, compelled for some unknown reason to witness what was going to happen.

Mai sighed at the girls tactics. She took in a breath to say something back but, Naru sensing it would bring fourth more attention stopped her by saying. "I am not interested in your lustful version of love and you should be either. If you keep selling your love like that eventually you will have no one."

This stopped the girl and gave the four of them time to get away.

After everything had settled down, Mai, Naru, Naomi and Shiro began to walk back to the van slowly as they talked. To Mai's surprise, it turns out that Kaito's team was also called in for the case that SPR had taken on. If this was the case, Naru wondered if any other teams had been called in and how bad the situation is. Naru's thought went back to their time on the 'Bloodstain labyrinth' case, as Yasu had dubbed it.

Naru hoped that this case wouldn't be as dangerous for both Mai's safety and the teams.

When the Lin, Naru and Mai finally arrived at their destination, the others were already there waiting for them. "Hey, guys. What took you so long?" John asked in his Australian accent.

"We met with another team that had been hired for the same case. It appears as if the police want this one solved quickly." Naru explained.

"Yeah, I don't blame them. I have a bad vibe about this place." Monk said rubbing the back of his neck.

When Naru had first told him that it was the Sorachi Subprefecture's police force that had brought the case to them everyone was shocked. Police don't like to call on people like them, it was bad for both the press and their reputation. So this meant that this case must be something big if the police called them in and now it wasn't just them but other teams. SPR looked at at the house as if sharing similar thought, what on Earth was it about this place?

"Ah!" A voice spoke pulling the team out of their thoughts. "You must be the Shibuya Psychic Research team, come on in. You are the last to arrive."
