My gosh I just had a nightmare, I was Mai on this what a source of inspiration. It gives me goosebumps when I remember it.

"Son, could you take a look at this case?"

"... It seems interesting, are you planning to take it?"

"My hands are full, with two other cases... Would you like to take it?"

"I wouldn't mind but our flight is scheduled for next week..."

"I can take care of that, after all it is the branch private plane"

"Mmm. Then who can give us support? Mai's abilities are something I can work with, but she's a magnet for trouble. Keeping an eye on her is way too troublesome for Lin and I"

"How about Madoka?"

"Rejected, I will rather work alone"

His father chuckled lightly. "Then, how about we call in your team?"

"That seems preferable than to work with strangers"

"Great, then go ahead and call them. I will get everything needed for their arrival"

...

"So... We are taking a case..."

"I believe that's what I said"

Mai huffed but she couldn't look at Naru's face at all. After slapping him, she couldn't help but blush and feel guilty. It was an accidental... No matter how you look at it.

"It seems only Hara-san, Takigawa and John can make it"

"What! They're coming?" She squeeled in delight, finally looking at his eyes. He smirked at her behavior but continued on.

"Yes. Matsuzaki-san will try to come the day after the others arrival. She insisted on not being left behind" he sighed in annoyance. Her charms and barriers were top notch but her personality was something he would rather not deal with.

Mai wasn't really paying attention after saying that but he let her be. Since coming here she has gone through a lot and her usual happy personality was back with just this.

"Wow, this place really needs to be cut down a bit" Bou-san muttered as they all stepped out of the car.

The front of the garden was over grown with plants and grass. While the house looked a bit run down by the weather and it gave on and abandoned feeling...

"We tried to cut it, but the next day it goes back on the way it was" replied the distressed woman in the door. Her daughter hiding behind her leg. They were a Japanese family in an overseas country, from the looks of it. The mother was really glad, someone has come to help them.

Mai smiled to the girl and wave her hand at her, she smiled back and nodded her head.

'cuteee' Mai thought, as everyone entered the house.

...

'Masako, John and Bou-san arrived yesterday, they had jetlag but managed to stand for their introductions to the Davis as well as the summary of the case. Without Ayako the Monk took every chance he could to mess with my hair and give me bear hugs. Naru was really annoyed on us goofing around and gave us papers to investigate, while Masako had a nice chat with Luella and Madoka. I have to admit, I felt jelousy... She could really fit in and not look out of place... Perhaps.. Naru and her will make an excellent couple'

"Ne-chan. What's your name?"

"My name is Taniyama Mai, you can call me Mai or Ne-chan. I like both" she grinned at her as she finished Naru's tea.

The girl giggled "I'm Ana. Nice to meet you Ne-chan" she ran outside the door in a fit of laughter.

...

"What's taking you so long?" Naru's annoyed voice, feel in the room.

"Coming.." she muttered, while she turned to look behind her shoulder. She swears she felt someone watching her.

It took all afternoon for them to set up the base and the cameras. By that time a storm was making the whole place cold... A few thunders could also be heard.

Ana was in her room, her mother was cooking and we were at the base when suddenly the lights went off. A thunder made me jump slightly on the couch were Naru was as well.

John gave me a soft smile while the Monk laughed lightly and Naru glared. Masako had her sleeve on her mouth and Lin didn't even turn around from the monitors... they were on since we had a different power supply.

The light tried to come back, but it died again.

Suddenly the wind carried a soft whimper, it grew louder and as on clue. Mai jumped to her feet, she went directly to Ana's room.

"Mai" Naru began...

"I will be right back. I just want to check on Ana" she left the room with no other interruption.

"Naru.." Masako began.

"I know. What do you feel?"

"A woman. She is... Angry, she doesn't care if we are here or not. Her motivation is revenge. I don't know where exactly she is but..." Masako swallowed "she's dangerous, "

"John please go check on Ana's mother. Takigawa bring Mai back"

She knocked three times before opening Ana's room.

"Ana.. were you singing?"

Her giggles on the dark room set shivers through Mai's back.

"Yeah! "

Mai could hardly see the girl on her bed, and left a sigh of relief escape her lips.

She approached the bed and just as Mai sat on the corned a thunder made her jump. Ana just giggled louder and came closer to Mai.

Mai giggled as well and patted Ana's hair. In a light conversasion with the kid Mai once again felt the feeling of being watched... Is true she sometimes could see spirits but she didn't have a strong nocturnal vision, so she thought it was better if she didn't pay that much attention...

It was a naggy feeling, she took glances every now at the to the window, but she couldn't see a thing, she try her best to ignore it but then... On one of her glances, she catched the sight of a woman's shadow when the small glimpse of light from the thunder, illuminated the outside.

Mai instantly hugged Ana... as a small scream from her lips sounded through the house, Ana just giggled at this and let herself be carried outside her room.

"Ne-chan, you're a scary cat" Ana managed to escape Mai's arms from her place on the floor.

"You ok Mai?" The Monk finally appeared.

"...ye-yeah"

"Ne-chan look, it's just water" Ana opened the lock from the metallic door, attempting to get out.

A new lighting illuminated the outside and unknown to Ana, the woman was behind her. The Monk froze up and Mai once again hugged her,this time with a shaking voice addressing the kid.

"... Your mom may get angry if we go out. She will worry... You get sick"

Ana finally seemed to sense something was wrong, she began to shake and nodded in approval as her mom and John appeared beside the Monk. She ran to hug her.

Just as soon the light came back on... Mai turned to the metallic door... it was open, her eyes began to glow as she tried her best to stand on her shaky legs... She close it as quick as she could.

''huh?' a hard and painful wave hit her chest.

"Mai?" Bou-san failed to catch her fall as she lost consciousness.

See you soon x3
