Okay, so Iloveanimex and I wanted to do this together considering we've never seen any of the guys on Ghost Hunt blush and well... This came out!

sakemori: I don't own Ghost Hunt though I certainly wished I did. I would make either Lin or Naru fall in love with me. *sighs* And own SPR! And have super awesome psychic powers like PK or clairvoyance. *sighs once more*

Danielle: If I owned ghost hunt, Yasuhara would be head over hills in love with me!

Yasu: Who said I wasn't?

Danielle: *blush*

sakemori: *groans and face palms self* For the love of God! *throws up hands* I'm gonna go find Lin and discuss shiki. Have fun! *stalks out angrily*

Yasu: Why is she so mad?

Danielle: I think it's because Naru and Lin arn't here...

sakemori: *voice far away* It's because Yasu is a creep and your egging him on! Now get the story rolling!

Mai: *walks in sweat dropping* Anyone know why our main author is giving Naru the "Glare of Doom"?

Danielle: ...On with the story!

~Danielle POV~

For the next two days, Sierra and I stayed at a hotel, not really wanting to go back home. We made a day of it, shopping for clothes and food we would need to last us. It was kind of nice, to be able to do something fun for a change. Sierra was actually smiling! Well... as much a narcissist can smile at any rate.

We didn't, however, get off entirely. The first night brought us nightmares. While we were sure the spirits and that demon were trapped in the house, they could still reach us through the spirit plane. And us, being very in tuned with said plane, weren't able to get a good night's rest.

The next night was worse, as the spirits' and demon's power had grown. They were able to inflict physical injuries, while we slept. It required an incredible amount of power to do that, so it left us uneasy. Sierra had scratches on her back and the bruises got worse around her throat.

On the third day, the day SPR were due, we summoned our courage and left the hotel...

Upon arrival, we entered the house, feeling the familiar pull.

"I hate this damn house," Sierra muttered under her breath, and I couldn't help but agree as we entered.

Copper... it smelt very much like copper.

But that wasn't the only thing. The walls had been damaged, and there was dents and holes in places. The room we had set aside for base, was targeted somewhat. The luscious red paint was scratched and dented and faded. I knew what I had to do, getting the plaster kit from the cupboard near the door. Sierra sighed, climbing up the stairs mumbling about finishing some paperwork, leaving me to clean. I made sure to change first, not wanting to ruin the new clothes I was wearing.

I had finished plastering within the hour, and had started painting. It was half past ten, so I should be done in time...

Half an hour later, the doorbell sounded. I was so close to finishing, it was almost laughable. I surrendered to my fate, before going to the door to answer it. As expected, it was SPR. I placed the can on paint beside me, before addressing the group.

"Oh my, I wasn't expecting you so soon! Excuse the mess, our intruders aren't in the best of moods," I joked, trying to lighten the mood. I wasn't sure if it had worked, being the only reaction was from the brunette offering a sympathetic smile. I glanced at my hands, feeling slightly uncomfortable. I saw I was still holding my paint brush, and so I went to put it in the can of paint. To my astonishment, it wasn't there.

The lack of reactions suddenly made perfect sense. They were too busy staring at where the paint had once been.

I looked up and to the side of me, just in time to see the can hurling toward my head. Everything was in slow motion as I ducked just in time to miss the near fatal blow to the head. I screamed, running outside with everyone else. I looked back at the once cream colored wall, seeing the red paint cover a majority of it.

"Stupid ghost! Red doesn't suit the décor!"

~Sierra POV~

I knew it was cruel to leave the cleaning of the SPR's base room to Danni, but with the scratches from last night starting to ache, I gave some excuse about paperwork and headed upstairs. I could still smell blood. It was as if the damned things were taunting me after what happened a month ago.

I entered my office, after bandaging myself, to find it completely destroyed. My eyes widened in shock and horror when I found my laptop in pieces at my feet, and all of my books torn to shreds. My backup drive was okay as was my thumb drive. My work was still intact though it would take forever to get these book again.

"Motherfucker!" I snarled softly, and went downstairs to grab the trash bin. I checked in on my assistant/best friend to see her painting the walls that horrid color red, and sighed silently to myself. Too much. This house was too much. I went back upstairs and began to clean, grumbling under my breath the whole way.

It was only eleven when the doorbell rang, and I was only halfway through cleaning up my office. I sighed and forced my fingers through my hair after it came undone. This was about as good as it will get. Then I heard Danni scream, followed by a loud thud.

"Danni!" I cried as I ran from my office and down the stairs. I turned to find her outside with the Paranormal Research group, as she glared down at the paint can, and the red splashed upon the once cream colored wall.

"Stupid ghost! Red doesn't suit the décor!" she cried indignantly with a stomp of her foot as I stared at her wide-eyed. Then I allowed myself to shake my head and lean against the banister. I forced a calm expression and crossed my arms all the while staring at her.

"Seriously? That's what you're mad over? The décor?" I asked, generally amused. She huffed, shooting me a weak glare as I chuckled. I shook my head once more, before bowing to SPR.

"I'm tired of my hard work going to waste! Isn't that reason enough to mad about the décor?" Danielle muttered stubbornly, crossing her arms. I looked up at her, tilting my head in thought. "I would have been mad about, you know, the fact that a paint can was thrown at my head! But the wall being covered in red paint, is a big deal, but that's just me," Danielle admitted, not really looking forward to cleaning all of it up. I shook my head once again and sighed, my fingers going through my hair. Maybe I'll help her clean it, just so she won't yell at me for being a slave driver.

"Won't you come in? Mind the paint," I asked, trying to get back on some kind of track. They nodded, although hesitantly, and followed us in.

Danielle led them to the base, which looked as good as it did before it was destroyed, if not better. Well, apart from the little bit of wall not painted over, and the sheets on the floor to catch said paint. I gave her an approving smile, to which she blushed, and I couldn't help rolling my eyes at her.

"Will this room do?" I asked, addressing Mister Shibuya, who nodded, before ordering his team to set up base.

"Lin, Takagawa, Yasuhara, get the equipment from the van. Miss Masuzaki and Miss Hara, do a walk through. Father Brown, go with them. Mai and I will stay here to set up," Mister Shibuya ordered, his voice stern and cold. Though I heard it, and I think Danielle did too, when his voice softened ever so slightly when he said Mai's name. Her first name. He had used the other girls last names, and if Miss Hara's response was anything to go by, she was not so happy about it.

Then something hit me... we had met Miss Hara! We worked in the same field, and had met once. It was a while ago, and we had both changed a lot. My assistant, not so much. So all I did was worry about her recognizing me. It didn't help that she was glancing at me, as if trying to remember where she had seen me before. There wasn't a lot I could do now, apart from trying not to draw too much attention.

"Um, Mr. Shibuya? Is there anything I could do to help?" Danielle asked, although shyly. He looked thoughtful for a moment, thinking of something that wasn't too taxing.

"You could help us with the monitors," he suggested, then turned to glare Mai for staring at us too. Was there something on my face? "Mai, I do not pay you to stand around," he snapped and her face heated up before she stuck out her tongue and turned on her heel to get to work. I smirked and raised an eyebrow at Mister Shibuya before sharing a knowing glance with Danni. She did the same thing sometimes.

"I'll see if I can try and make some tea," I announced, before practically running out of the room. Miss Hara wouldn't stop staring at me. It was more then I could stand.

"Wait! Sierra!" Danni cried, but I decided to ignore her and continue on. I had a nice, trusty skillet to keep the knives from attacking me. Hopefully... I sighed and entered the kitchen, only to have knives surround me. They just floated there, waiting for me.

"You have GOT to be fucking kidding me!" I shrieked, trying to duck back out the room. I didn't dare look away from the sharp blades pointed at me. Before I reached the door, however, it slammed shut.

The knives darted at me, and I dived out the way. One grazed my cheek, another cut my side, and yet another slashed my leg. I grunted, biting my lip against the pain. The other three knives missed me completely, for which I was thankful. Despite the pain, I got up and made my way to the stove, where the tea kettle was resting.

I called out for Danni as I grabbed the tea kettle and turned on the sink. "Stupid, son of a bitch! Why can't I at least make tea? Huh?!"

I looked up, at my reflection in the window, to find another knife coming my way. I ducked, and it crashed through the window. I sighed, shutting the sink off, before putting the kettle on the back burner and turning it on.

"Still making tea, you assholes," I said with a smirk as I took out the tray and eleven tea cups and their saucers. I could hear Danni calling my name as the tea kettle whistled, and I seeped the tea leaves for the right amount of time. The door was kicked open, just as the tea was finished and I met Danni's tear-filled eyes with my slightly angered and feared ones, as I held out the tray with a shaky smile. Near death experiences. You gotta love them.

"Tea, anyone?"

Danielle: Wow, moan at me about the décor, then be all like, you want tea? Rude!

Yasu: Hey, Danielle, how are you?

Danielle: Um.. um, I- I am f-fine... *blush* H-how are you, Yasu?

Yasu: Better now that you're here...

Mai: *rolls eyes* You seriously can't be falling for that crap!

sakemori: *enters with a silent Lin and Naru* Trust me, she is. Danni, you entered Fairyland again. It's time to snap out of it.

Mai: *gasps happily* Naru! You decided to join us!

Naru: Mai, tea.

sakemori: *sweat drops at Mai's glare* N-now, now, children! No need to fight! *gulps* Where's John when you need him?

Danielle: He said he was with Masako... doing what, I don't know... *looks at Yasu and blushes again* A-Anyway! Thank you for reading! And PLEASE leave a review!

sakemori: *holding Mai back from strangling her VERY attractive boss* Please! BEFORE they kill me!
