I'm alive! XD sorry for delays on updates

Funny story... When I was writing this, one of my plates shattered in tiny pieces... Yeah, let's give it a logistical explanation of a temperature drop or something xD I was eating corn flakes with cold milk and the glass, well went bam after 15 minutes on the table... thankfully no harm or injury was done and I had eaten all, so no food mess either :D thou I won't take it as a bad omen, instead I will think of that as some saying goodbye or the like.i have a share fair of paranormal experiences so it's quite exciting to tell my friends about it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Hunt

'...No...'

'Hi I'm Taniyama Mai, a soon to be senior and a part time worker on Shibuya Psychic Research. SPR for short... Or that's what we are use to tell our clients... Two years ago we discovered, Naru's real name as well as the office true purpose and the like... Keep it a secret, will you? Wait... Who I'm I talking to? I'm the only one here... Hahaha, anyway we're currently under one of our research missions'

'... just leave..'

'Our client, visited us last week and due to the paranormal activity and the stories around the house. The narcissist, uhu-phm, Naru-chan was interested... He is currently glaring daggers at me since, I'm taking my sweet time with the temperatures records... It's his fault that he asked for tea, right when I was to do as ordered, he deserves it'

'...Run! Don't look..'

'currently, Masako, John and Ayako are on their way here with Monk, we came really early since Naru couldn't wait for the others to finish their stuff... You know, what I mean right? Everyone is busy with their own lives and the like.. alright time to go, otherwise Naru will make me work twice the amount he had given Yasuhara to research on the local library... That and poor Lin may get to deal with his foul mood..'

'... she's coming'

'story short our client wants to destroy this house and build a new one, but the thing is that he wishes that whatever is hunting this, gets exorcised as to not anger the spirits and the usual stuff... If you ask me, I'm on the edge... Not surprising since I am talking to myself to distract me from running out and never looking back.. '

'... please... Run'

'Gene's gone and I'm happy but.. feel lonely... He became my best, best friend... After of course rejecting me... Hahaha, my platonic love was buried down fo eternity, I have moved on but it's not easy since his twin brother has the same looks and is my boss... Quite shameless that I feel something growing between us... But Naru is Naru and Gene is Gene. There's no way I can make the same mistake as I did way back at the lake... Oh gosh stop with the embarrassing memories! Get out of my mind, I have enough with only me inside'

'no... Is too late'

"third room on the second floor... A little bit cold but not unusual... Alright the main room at last" opening the door...shivers ran up and down her back... "Right..." Taking her walkie talkie she informed Lin that she was going to put a camera there and to inform her of the visual... After a year or so of working together, he didn't question her since her instincts usually gave great results...

"Visual and audio, working properly"

"Great! I'm heading back"

Her body instantly froze up, as the door handle began to open by itself... She somehow, managed to hide behind the door as the long slender black fingers opened it slowly and without sound...it walked and stood before the camera. She could see her back, it was skinny and dark, her hair long and uncared with leaves and branches mixed in it... Her arms were unusually long and if she could compare her.. she looked like the witch from gears of war game... Mai held her breath as she killed every sound that could get out from her lips... Was she really a trouble magnet?

It didn't matter right now, if it was true... But she knew she was in big trouble...

The woman stood there and Mai watched as she began to disappear, but in her stomach the dreadful feeling was still present...

She didn't move... She just released the breath that was burning her lungs... It was then... That she saw... The long fingers on each side of her vision... She was behind her

"Taniyama, get out of there!" Lin shouted through the walkie

It managed to unfroze her from her shock and she jumped into the floor just seconds before the long claws and fingers touch her...

The woman launch behind her, pinning her down and blocking her escape... Her blood and injured lips smile evilly as she raised her hand to Mai's face, her nail had barely touched her cheek and it started to bleed. It hurt.

Lin's shiki shot at the witch back, it screamed in pain as it arched back ... giving Mai the chance to use the nine words, which slammed her against the wall, by now Lin and Naru were on the door.

Mai tried to go at them but instantly the floor gave in... The witch laugh was the last Mai heard...

...

As usual the best place and best time for her to have a vision... Something about a young girl and her mother... The mother fell from the second floor on the living room glass table that was right beneath the main room... Horrible death, sad story and unfinished business with daughter, who died from sickness a month later, she was depressed and no one to take care of her a 8 year old...

...

When she opened her eyes, everything was black... Where was she? It was cold and... Was she outside? She sat down and noticed that leaves behind her...

"Huh?" Wasn't she inside a house? She turned around and she instantly regret it...

The witch was there staring at her intently

'...no.. don't harm her... Momma is not bad"

The witch like woman, got closer to her and smiled evilly again, Mai's eyes widened.. behind her a 8 year old cried but the witch didn't see her nor heard her...

Mai's heart broke.. she calmed herself down and cleaned up her tears in slow motion she raised her arms up while light began to come from her feelings, she remembered the love she had for her mother and how she loved her back... As well as how she loved her SPR family... The woman stood back in shock but the girl instantly hugged Mai, to which now the witch.. woman was able to see... This time she too began to glow and her form changed to a peaceful and kind mother...

It didn't take long for her child to jump at her arms and both of them pass on... The light was slowly going back and Mai felt the peace and loving atmosphere leave her... She began to break down, tears ran down silently and she made her way with her bruised body towards the lake...

The cold water cleaning her small wounds and dirt as she walked in. She dived in just before she could scream her heart out on the water a hand pulled her up...

The moon was beautiful and gave Naru's face a gorgeous look... Even so she pulled away as tears ran down her face... She wanted to be alone but he didn't want to leave her..

"Mai" his voice commanded..

She flinched before meeting his eyes with the most heartbreaking look anyone could ever show, no words needed... She was broken

He instantly hugged her and she felt herself lost in his warm... She cried her heart out and he comfort her silently...

They were both trembling after a bit but Mai didn't make any move to release her hold on him...

He had began to improvise and instead of comforting words he gave her small round movements on her back, but he knew they might get sick if they stayed like that... He managed to pull her face to meet his as unconsciously he began to kiss her, first her forehead... Which instantly calmed her... Then was her cheek that stopped the tears and gave her eyes a living spark...

His eyes narrowed slightly as his breath and hers landed on each other lips... Slowly and nervously his lips landed on her's... Just touching... Her eyes slowly closed down... As he took just a second longer to hold on to her lips... It was... Innocent and loving...

He retreated seconds later in shock of his actions as if his brain had finally processed what he was doing...

Her eyes opened at the missing warm a slight blush adorned her features when his wide eyes met her's...

He turned his face quickly and grabbed her hand leading her outside the lake...

".."

She stopped once outside and he turned in question... Her face was asking him, pleading him what that was and if it was true...

He let go of her hand and she brought it up against her chest in a silent cry of rejection...

He froze,... Bit his lip and answered her...

"... I'm not Gene"

Her face raised up with a painful expression, "Naru is Naru, Gene is Gene"

His eyes widened as her face was back down... She began to step away not saying anything else

She was after all broken down and her heart drown on uncertainty

Who was it... That she really loved? Her finger touched the bottom of her lips tenderly as she walked further up the path...

It was always... And he will be the only... one

His hand reached the air behind her back but soon his hand made it back to his side...

Naru, no Oliver Davis was uncertain about her words

Was he really the one she loved? He narrowed his eyes and walked behind her... A glare present as he tried to reason her words...

Hating something you used to love was painful.. he never hated his brother but he hated his courage...

He couldn't bring himself to ask her, what she felt for him...

Just saying yes... It is him...

Mai and Naru are my top pairing so Gene sorry and yes a bitter ending... One was rejected twice and the other was hunted by his feelings... First time I do a bitter one xD I love and hate that they didn't end together because of their insecureness
