(Lin)- This just turned up on my laptop when we went to that hot spring... I can only assume it was sure to the paranormal activity in that area... apparently a load of men were peeking and there was a massive fight...
(Yasuhara)- Madoka! You'll love this! Naru... LAUGHED!!
"Guys...ghost...hunters...here..." A male spirit, now known as ghost #1, yelled panting.
He looked around the room where around 20 ghosts-mostly male-sat.
"Really?" Ghost #2 asked looking worried.
"Yeh...but get this!" Ghost #1 grinned. "You'll never guess who's with them!"
"Who?" Ghost #13 asked curiously from where she sat thinking up gruesome and horrible ways to kill people with a butter knife. Ghost #13 never really was that smart in life, and in death, her brains had gotten worse. Hence the reason she was planning on killing people with a butter knife.
"You ready?" Ghost #1 grinned. "Mai Taniyama!"
Suddenly there was an uproar of ghosts-male and female alike. Needless to say, due to the fact that THE Mai Taniyama, every ghosts dream victim, was here, they all started screaming like vapid Toshiro Hitsugaya fangirls.
"Really?! THE Mai Taniyama??"
"OMG! IS SHE AS CUTE AS THEY SAY SHE IS?"
"DO YOU THINK SHE'D KICK ME?"
"Eh...Ghost #7...you're dead. She can't kick you." Ghost #3 rolled her eyes. Sometimes it was hard being a female ghost. And the fact the only other female ghost in this place was Ghost #13 aka 'idiot whose murder weapon of choice is a butter knife' didn't help her much.
"I could possess someone around her!" Ghost #7 pouted crossing his arms.
"I call the meeting to order!" Ghost #3 yelled over the still excited crowd of spirits before her. "Right. How are we going to deal with Mai Taniyama?"
"Haunt her dreams?" Ghost #11 spoke up.
"No duh Sherlock!" Ghost #5 rolled his eyes. "It's mandatory that we haunt her dreams! You're not a proper ghost until you've haunted Mai Taniyama's dreams."
"We could just...stare at her." Ghost #20 suggested. "Like, threw the windows..."
"Right!" Ghost #3 nodded. "Any other ideas?"
"We should possess someone...a guy!" Ghost #19 said snapping his ghostly fingers. The result was, of course, a snap. But ghostly snap.
"Yeah and then claim Mai is our reincarnated lover and kidnap her." Ghost #10 nodded enthusiastically. "That's always fun to do!"
"But...Mai isn't the reincarnation of any of our lovers!" Ghost #15 said, as clueless as usual. In the brains department, he was coming up just ahead of Ghost #13.
"They don't know that! We can just pretend that or something." Ghost #19 sighed at his fellow spirits lack of grey matter. "Since it was my idea, I should possess someone!"
"Go for the one with glasses." Ghost #3 ordered. "He has no spiritual powers so it'll be the easiest and quickest. Any other ideas?"
"LET'S STAB HER WITH A BUTTERKNIFE!"
Mai sighed sitting at the desk in base. She stretched her arms over her head, unknowingly turning on her 'I'm so cute, attack me now, pretty please' neon sign.
It wasn't really Mai's fault ghosts were obsessed with her. She couldn't help it. She was just so adorably adorable that ghosts were drawn to her. Her brown hair was adorable in a cute messy way; her massive cinnamon brown eyes were SUPER adorable, as was her love for flirty skirts and cute tops.
She took a sip of her tea then pouted realising it was cold. And of course the pout was also adorable.
In fact, when it came to ghosts, poor little Mai had no chance.
After Ghost #3 gave Ghost #13 a severe 'duffing up', which she explained to her second in command, Ghost #17, was like beating someone up, only for girls, with less punching and more scratching, biting and hair pulling. Obviously she'd never witnessed Bou-san's and Yasuhara's fights before; they really were remarkably like a cat-fight.
"Alright, so first of all, everyone, I want you on object alert. Just move things around but focus on Mai. Ghost #19, you need to stare at her a lot, whisper sweet nothings into her ear, act like a lover would. Ghost #11, Ghost #19, Ghost #20 and I will all act out an upsetting and traumatising scene in Mai's dreams." Well, no one could say Ghost #3 wasn't organised.
Mai frowned. She was all alone in the base and it was getting colder. You'd have thought, being the self-proclaimed genius that he is, Naru would have realised the stupidity of EVER leaving Mai alone on a case. It was almost a certain fact that something would happen to her.
Looking around, she spotted a ghost standing in front of her, watching her intently. Within a moment it was gone.
"Huh?" with that half confused expression. It was an adorable expression-much like every expression she ever wore-with her eyes massive and her head tilted.
She could have sworn she heard the noise of what sounded like 100 raving Yuki Soma fangirls screaming.
Shrugging it off, she sat watching the monitors, before slumping onto the table and falling asleep.
Mai was sitting in a lounge room, watching a man and a woman clutching onto each other.
"Oh Marius! Please! Don't leave me! My father shall surely betroth me to that wicked man!" Exclaimed the woman who looked a lot like Mai herself (minus the adorable-ness) and with longer hair. Mai was confused though. It looked like she was acting in a really bad soap opera.
"Do not worry my love!" The man-who looked surprisingly like Yasuhara said, clutching the woman's hands in his own. "I could never leave you! Let us run away together!" The man was also over the top.
"We cannot!" The woman turned her head away. "For he shall find me!"
"I have found you!" Another man, this time looking like Naru swung the door open. "In the arms of another man! Curse you!" The Naru lookalike pulled out a gun and shot the couple before shooting himself.
Mai shot up looking around.
"Mai, don't sleep in the daytime." Naru said absent mindedly as he entered the room.
"You always say that but somehow it's always my dreams that help us out." Mai shot back stretching her arms above her head and arching her back in a way that once again raised her adorably adorableness up another 5 notches, causing another roar of what sounded like fangirls, although decidedly a lot more masculine, causing both Naru and Mai to look around in a confused way.
"Oooowaaaaag!" Suddenly a figure appeared with a cheesy ghostly moan.
Naru and Mai stared at the ghost before breaking out in fits of laughter.
"Is...is...that ghost...wearing a...a...sheet!" Mai gasped and Naru nodded, both still laughing.
It was true. The 'ghost' was covered in a white sheet with eye holes.
The ghost frowned beneath the sheet.
"Shut up!" It whined before disappearing.
It took a good few minutes for the pair to stop laughing.
"Ghost #13..." Ghost #17 sighed, rubbing his head and frowning. "That wasn't what I told you to do..."
"T-They laughed at me." Ghost #13 turned wide, sad eyes on her superior, who simply shrugged.
"Maybe you acted a bit... daft."
"Stupid more like." Ghost #3 interjected. Hopefully the moving objects will be slightly more terrifying."
Ghost #13 nodded and pulled her weapon of choice from her pocket.
"And for goodness' sake give up with the butter knife!"
Ghost #20, Ghost #11 and Ghost #19 face planted and unanimously decided that helping the others with the object moving would be more fun.
Mai and Naru had recovered (almost) and were sitting together at the base's large table when suddenly a gust of wind blew a piece of paper up at Mai. She batted it away but it came right back, making her pull that adorable face where she closes one eye and pouts.
Again there was a chorus of fangirl screaming as though Dark the phantom thief had just appeared.
Naru raised an eyebrow at Mai who scratched her head, causing more fangirl screams.
The a teddy bear floated over to Mai and sat itself on her lap. Naru frowned and Mai hugged the bear happily, as though it was an everyday occurrence in which random teddies landed neatly on your lap... which, for Mai Taniyama, was probably the case.
A glass of Brandy moved over to Naru and he politely held up his hand. "Sorry, I don't drink." He muttered, and Ghost #20 quickly apologised and handed him some tea instead, which only seemed to make things worse when Naru sipped it and glared in Ghost#20's general direction. "Your tea tastes worse than my mother's... try again."
At this point, Ghost #58 was entertaining Mai by wearing Naru's coat and doing the can-can (only the bobbing coat was visible but the other ghosts were singing so she got the general idea) which caused her to clap her hands in time to the singing. "This is a fun haunting." She grinned. "But weren't we here on a holiday?"
Naru shrugged. "Think of it as personalised service."
(Lin)- Luella Davis, please stop phoning your son in work hours; he's beginning to show signs of fear whenever the phone rings at work... And no, Mai has never stayed the night at the apartment. You really shouldn't ask her for details whenever she answers the phone.
(Yasuhara)- Madoka, when will your next visit be? Mai and Naru are beginning to relax... I NEED YOU!! (So does Lin-san but you know how he is... like he'd admit it...)
