Stargal.

After getting back to the base Mai tuned out the others focusing on the monitors something had been bugging her since the attack on Ayako, going through everything that had happened since. Then something caught her attention on the monitors. In the middle of one of the classrooms sat a chair. One that she was sure hadn't been there before.

"Naru-chan I think that I found something" Mai called to the man who was her temporary boss. He walked over knowing that she was referring to him after she had called him that when she had woken him up in the van that morning. " That chair, im sure it wasn't there when I set up the camera yesterday." Mai pointed at the camera she was referencing. After asking if anybody had entered that room he played back the footage. Hitting play everybody watched as the chair moved from of screen. In the background Mai could here the shattering of the window. For once the base was silent, no one said anything, then John spoke up.

" I think we are dealing with a poltergeist." He sounded so sure about it, Mai would have believed him if she didn't already know that what was happening wasn't caused by the supernatural. Then she thought back to what she had sensed from her classmate before, looking between Kuroda and Naru she focused on their auras. It clicked, PK that's what had felt so similar between the two. ' I don't want to revile that I know what I do… but maybe I can push Naru in to figuring it out... after all he must already be thinking something similar' Mai thought up a way to keep that fact that she knew a lot more about ghost hunting then the typical teenager.

" How can you be so sure it's a ghost? I mean Hara-san who is quite well known for her ability's cant sense anything. Even if she is not on the same wave length as Naru put it earlier, wouldn't one of you who all claim to hold psychic powers at least have felt something if there was anything here?" Mai rambled making it look like she hadn't meet to say anything out loud. Feeling everyone's eyes on her She looked up. Faking a blush she stammered the rest of her thought making it look like she wasn't sure. " I… I read some where once that older building could make sounds that imitate that of knocking and footsteps, and with the building being half way through demolition the structure wouldn't be very sound would it?' Mai finished watching Naru from the corner of her eyes. Hoping that he would give some sort of sign that he understood that it could be the building that was the cause not a ghost. It was then Kuroda spoke up.

" NO, there is spirits here! One attacked me earlier." She shouted making everyone look at her.

"When did this happen" Naru asked his eyes narrowing at the girl,

"This morning on the stairs just after I arrived. He told me that we were interfering and to leave" Mai didn't believe her at all then something hit her. Kuroda arrived right around the same time that the Miko had been trapped. Naru once again played back the tape to the time that Kuroda had indicated. How ever the video camera had malfunction at the time of the supposed attack. It was then that Masako claimed that there where no spirits once again and left the room. Mai sighed and took a seat once again watching the monitors; she had a feeling that Kuroda was the one who had messed with the videotape. She had more then enough time to erase the tapes, and not everyone had the inability with technology that she did. That's when Mai noticed that Masako was no longer on the cameras; she must have stopped in one of the spots, that weren't being watched. Not thinking much about it seeing as how there couldn't be any danger with the lack of spirits, Mai decided to watch the other members of the team. She was bored out of her mind; also she had left her books at home not wanting anyone to find out about her connection to the industry. After all her mother had at one point been nearly as well known in the industry as Oliver was now; however it had been under her English name. It was then that Mai heard a loud scream coming from the second floor building ' That where Masako was' Mai panicked, after everything that had happened with the building structure the likeness that the medium could be seriously injured was to high. Not bothering to grab the radio that she had been left with she took off towards the hall way that she had last seen the girl in. It seemed that everybody else had also heard the scream and came running. Mai could see that the once boarded up wall had broken. Quickly calling the ambulance, which she knew would be needed. After the Paramedics had taken the injured medium away, there once more was an argument over the spirit. Mai just tuned it out until she heard John offer to give it a try. This perked her interest; she could see the power in John's aura and wanted to see it in action. It was decided that in order not to distract the young exposits they group would watch over the monitors from the base. As the blond man started his prayer she decided that in order to keep Naru from realizing that she might know more then just having a slight obsession with the paranormal that she would pretend not to know what he was saying. Turning to her right. She asked monk if he knew what was being said. However the man just shook his head. It was then that Mai noticed the floor had began to sag, what the others had taken for phantom knocks she recognized as the structure falling, she had heard similar sounds when Masako fell. Realizing that he was now in danger Mai took off causing everyone to yell and follow her out trying to stop her. Skidding to a halt out side of the classroom she threw the door open causing it to bounce off the frame.

" John move the celling is going to collapse!" Mai screamed at the shocked priest, who had stopped reading when she had thrown the door. The creaking had gotten louder, seeing that he hadn't moved Mai quickly made a move to grab the man, however Bou-san had wrapped his arm around her waist to keep her from entering the room. Thankfully John had began to move reaching out towards the out stretched hand that Mai was holding hoping to grab him upon his escape, they connected just in time for her to pull them back in to the hall way; causing both of them to land on the monk.

After the close call in the upper floor classroom Naru had decided that there was indeed no ghost in the building and sent everyone home for the night, Mai decide that it would be a good chance to stop at the shrine that near the hospital that Gene was being kept in; hoping to pick up some more talismans. Though the stairs were long Mai got up them with no issue. Upon reaching the top she was greeted by the head priest.

" Evening Taro-Sama, how have you been?" Mai chirped happily to the aging man. He had been part of her mother's team here in Japan, and had actually offered to take her in after her mothers passing. However she had decided to stay with her teacher instead, do to the fact that she hadn't wanted to be close to the past at the time.

" Mai-chan how many times must I tell you not that you need not worry about formalities with me?" Taro replied a fatherly smile on his face.

" Probably a few more times" Mai laughed at their ongoing joke. Before turning serious. " Sadly I didn't come over for a social visit. Im in need of some more wards. Same as before, and im hoping that you might have some that can help with controlling PK I've recently come across some one who has yet to discover their powers and sadly its causing some disturbances around the school that could endanger others. I do plan on sending her to get help, however do to some unforeseen circumstances; I am unable to deal with it immediately with out brining attention to my identity." Mai explained; a knowing smile graced his face.

" I have just what you need Mai-chan. Just follow me." He motioned her to wards the main shrine building.

Mai was curious as to why she had been called down to the office. Its not like she had pulled any pranks in the last few weeks, and she had even been showing up to school, after all she needed to make sure that she attended for a minimum amount of days. Not like she wouldn't be able to pass any of the exams with out showing up, but those where the rules. As she neared the office she decided to find out who all was in there. She was surprised to find that everyone who had been involved in the case of the old school house to be inside. As she entered she noticed a lamp in the middle of the circle.

"Now that you're here Mai we can start," Naru stated. Mai sat in the empty chair between Masako and Kuroda. Someone turned the lights off; the lamp in the center of the room began to blink in a hypnotic pattern making Mai become sleepy. It was then that she recognized the experiment. Breaking the trance on her self so that she would accidentally affect the experiment, after all with her ability to astro project, she could easily move the chair by using her spirit to move it during the night.

It was then that the lights came back on, shocking everyone from their trance. Every one looked to the chair in the middle of the room. Mai decided to head back to class after all, it was English and Miss Johnson had said that she would give her a new book to read, if she showed up today.

Once class's had ended Mai headed back over to the old school house to see if she could help out with anything. Seeing Naru standing with Lin right outside of the building Mai trotted over.

" So, tonight's the last night you're here for isn't it?" Mai asked a little to happily; after all she already knew what was going to happen.

"Yes, now that you're here you can help Lin with everything." Naru told her, before turning and heading inside. Ami stuck her tongue out at him after words.

"Man, he use to be nicer when we were younger." Mai pouted. Lin Let out a small chuckle. " So he finally figured out the last part of the mystery I see, I can't believe it took him that long. I mean the ground substance sure it would take a longer time if you hadn't seen some of the bigger signs like the tilted floor. But I would have been doing the whole hypnosis thing as soon as the poltergeist theory came to light." Mai ranted grabbing an armful of the plywood that was beside Lin.

" So you figured it out then Mai-Meimei?" Lin asked grabbing what he could with one hand. Before following her. Its not like he was surprised, she had always been better at noticing small details, then Noll. People though that she wasn't as smart because she pretended not to be, that and she never made conclusion until she had all of the information; she was not a fan of deductions.

"Yep the first day he had me watching cameras and I dropped a pen, the tilted floor gave me the idea to have an old friend do some research on the land seeing as how I don't really want anyone knowing that im more then interested in the paranormal." Mai explained. " And if you're wondering its Kuroda-san that's causing the poltergeist. It took me a bit to figure out that there was actual poltergeist activity. In fact I only noticed when she used it to make the chair move, with out knowing that she did it. I saw her powers at work in her Aura. "Mai explained, before making herself look awkward around Lin-Nii so that Naru wouldn't get suspicious. On their way back down for another load, they meet John who had come to see if he could help. Seeing as how Lin was still on crutches it was decided John would help Mai carry everything up while Naru and Lin put some finishing touches on the experiment.

After having put up all of the bored along the windows and door Naru had them sign their names on each of the boards then he took sheets of paper and plastered them on to the walls having them sign them as well. Not wanting to bring any attention to her past she stuck to signing in just her Japanese name.

She knew that everything would be solved come morning. It was to late for her to stop and see Gene. Heading home to grab some sleep was probably the best idea. She also needed to find a way to get the talisman to Kuroda, along with the offer to take to the shrine so that she could learn control. All this would have to done after Naru left.

So that was worth the wait right... Probably not seeing as how I may have rushed it once I realized how long it had actually been since I updated it. I will try and up date shortly... I wonder how many of you actually read this part? please review, I do try and answer all of you when i have the chance. as always creative criticism is welcome; no haters allowed

Later;
