When Mai finished making the tea she brought them all out on a tray and set one in front of Naru, Lin, and the client and stood slightly behind Naru with the tray against her stomach.
"What is you're name and occupation?" Naru asked the client.
"My name is Kawasaki Namiko. I work as a CEO of a moving company." Kawasaki answered.
"Why are you here?" Naru asked next which made Mai give him a dirty look for being rude.
"I think my Villa in the mountains is haunted. Can you please help me?" Kawasaki asked clearly afraid.
"What reason do you believe that it's haunted Kawasaki-san?" Naru asked her needing more details about the haunting.
"I've been hearing a song being sung whenever I was there a few days ago, there was banging on the walls, and I hear footsteps all throughout the place. I was there by myself, and I checked to make sure nobody came in multiple times a day. And, on the last day I was there the third story bathroom faucets turned on by themselves and I couldn't get the water to turn off. It flooded the entire hallway with water that looked like blood." Kawasaki described for Naru. Lin kept typing ever so diligently whereas Mai knew that this was the case she had in her vision.
"Thank you Kawasaki-san. We will be taking your case. We will need three rooms available. One for our base and two for our sleeping arrangements. Please leave you're information and address of the villa with my assistant Mai, and we will arrive in three days." Naru instructed as he stood up.
"Thank you. Thank you!" Kawasaki gleefully said as Naru went into his office. Mai took the woman's information before she cleaned the tea cups left over. The rest of the day was mostly slow with Naru asking for tea almost every half hour. Mai returned home and fixed herself some dinner. As she was eating Mai completed some more of her school work before she took a shower and went to bed. The next day after school Mai sent Ryushi a text telling him that he'll need a week's worth of clothes packed in two days for a case that she's going on. He sent a text back saying that he's ready for anything as long as she's with him and Mai smiled warmly. She really liked being in a relationship with Ryushi.
While Mai was packing up the van so that they could leave she was wondering where Ryushi was since he still hadn't shown up. Just as Mai stepped aside to call him he walked right around the corner.
"Worried I wouldn't show?" Ryushi whispered teasingly into her ear.
"Yes." Mai answered weakly with a blush on on her face.
"Can you help me pack up the van, Ryu?" Mai asked trying to hide her blush by turning away.
"No problem." Ryushi answered her with a smile of satisfaction on his face. With Ryushi's help Mai managed to stock the van relatively fast for once. Afterwards Mai led him up to the office to await orders from Naru.
"Lin is Shibuya-san's assistant. He watches over the monitors and sound tracks and also types up the reports." Mai informed Ryushi as she sat down on the sofa.
"Hhhmmmm." Was his reply as he sat next to her with his arm around her shoulder.
"I'm not sure who's going to be on the case. Five years ago their were some irregulars that helped out on cases. A monk named Takigawa Hosho, a self proclaimed shrine maiden Matsuzaki Ayako, a catholic priest John Brown, and finally Hara Masako. She doesn't need an introduction for you." Mai whispered the last part to him. Ryushi was glad that she was informing him about the company.
"Mai." Naru said as he stepped out of his office at the same time as Lin. Mai got off the couch and gestured for Ryu too. All four of them got in the van and that's how this case filled with drama began.
Mai sat in between monitors and supplies and Ryushi much to Naru's displeasure. During the ride Mai was able to talk with Ryushi most of the time instead of being ignored by Naru like in the past. Naru continued to read a folder that he brought with him while trying to ignore Mai flirting with her boyfriend behind him while Lin made sure to keep watch on the road and his charge. Almost an hour before they arrived Mai fell asleep while resting her head on Ryushi's shoulder.
"Um, I think this might be a little late but, my name is Arishima Ryushi. It's nice to meet you're acquaintance Shibuya-san." Ryushi said trying to smooth things over with the quiet man while he brushed Mai's hair in her sleep.
"Shibuya Kazuya." Was Naru's simple reply as he continued reading.
"Have you been working with spirits long?" Ryushi asked unfazed by the man's cold attitude towards him.
"I am reading and would like some silence to continue." Naru told him as his tone got colder. Ryushu gave up at that and then concentrated on the woman sleeping next to him she seemed to be having a bad dream.
Mai woke up in the house she had seen before where everyone had died or disappeared. She could hear a song being sung but she couldn't make out the lyrics. Wondering what they were she started to look for the person singing them in an effort to figure them out. She wandered around searching room to room for what seemed like forever until she made it to the third floor. For some reason she could instantly feel that the singer was on this floor suddenly. Carefully Mai started walking down the hallway when she heard something different than the singing.
"I! Ai! MAI!" Ryushi called as they came to a stop at the villa. Mai's eyes fluttered open to find Ryushi looking at her worriedly.
"Are you okay Mai?" He asked as he helped her out of the van.
"Yeah. Thanks Ryu." Mai said grateful for his presence. Ryushi wasn't sure he could trust her because she seemed to be having a bad dream while sleeping in the car.
"Was it a bad dream? You're sweating all over." Ryushi pointed out. Mai nodded her head pushing the dream into the back of her mind and making sure to put up mental barriers for herself as well as shielding her powers from view.
"I don't remember anymore." Mai said with a weak laugh. Ryushi pulled her into a hug unable to do more for her. He knew she needed some emotional help at the moment but was unable to give it to her.
"Mai it's time to work, not to dradle." Naru said coldly indicating for her to follow inside with him and Lin. Mai stepped away from Ryushi as he took a step away from her both blushing. Mai turned and followed Naru to the front door. Naru knocked waiting for the client to answer. When she did answer the door she greeted them and asked them to follow her to the rooms they asked her to prepare.
'It seems like I was right. This is that case.' Mai thought as she got a good look at the villa realizing it was the exact same one from her visions/dreams. When Mai crossed the threshold of the front entrance she could instantly smell blood more pungent than in the Urado case. As Mai swayed from the smell she felt like she was being drenched in blood. Ryushi immediately noticed how Mai wasn't' feeling well and caught her when she passed out. Naru turned at the sound of Ryushi trying his best not to fall as well and noticed that Mai fell unconscious.
"Lin." Naru said concern laced in his voice as he started walking back towards the couple. Lin stopped and turned back at Naru's tone when he said his name. Once both of the men came closer to Ryushi and Mai, Ryushi had somehow managed to get Mai in his arms bridal style. At this they all walked to the room meant for the girls guided by Kawasaki-san. Ryushi tenderly laid her down on one of the beds provided before sitting next to her.
"You can go on ahead. I'd like to stay here and watch over her." Ryushi told them with concern etched into his face.
"Very well. Kawasaki-san, can you show us the rest of the place before we start unpacking?" Naru asked once he was able to get his concern for the young woman under control. Just as Naru was about to follow the client he saw Ryushi give Mai's head a kiss.
"Naru." Lin warned once more and most certainly not the last time for this case. He could see the displeasure in Naru's attitude and wanted to make sure the young man wouldn't do something that'll result in two or more people going to the hospital.
