Protector of SPR

Chapter 6

Ok so thanks to the reviews. I have not yet decided what chapter 5 I want to go with. But If I get enough comments about one in particular people like the best that will be the I go with. Anyways…

Oh yeah and I have forgotten to do this the last couple of chapters but you all ready know it. I do not own ghost hunt!

On with the story.

I walked with gene into the surrounding forest. The trees starting to thin out after a few minutes of slow walking. We finally reached a point where everything was a white space. "Gene… where are we?" I asked. I looked around there was nothing but white and Gene. Not even the forest that we had just come out of was there anymore.

"We are in what is called an empty space. You are able to create them or you can move from this space that you created when you came here to the next space that already exists. You should be able to do that now. But I recommend that you don't because you won't know what to expect in the next space. Each pre-existing space can be unpredictable and dangerous. If you happen to come across the wrong space and you don't know were you are you could get stuck there and not be able to return to your own space. If this happens you could disappear completely and will not be able to come back." Said Gene. "Also you will be able to go from here to the real world through these spaces. But only if they're your own. If there not your own you won't be able to get to the real world."

"I see." I said. "So how do I create these spaces?"

"You will need a lot of power in order to create them so we will work that when the time comes. Right now I think that we should work on you getting to the real world. Right now. Of course you will only be able to walk around and only for a few hours at the most."

"Ya you said that already…" I said.

He laughed sheepishly. "Ya sorry I just want to make sure that you know that so you don't freak out when you can't talk to them or even when they don't see you."

"Its alright. So when do I get to go see everyone? Or at least see what they're doing."

"Right now"

As he said this, the space around us lowly began to change. And he started to disappear along with the white. "Gene?" I yelled.

"Don't worry Mai. What your doing is perfectly fine."

"How am I doing this though?"

"All your doing is letting your heart guide you to were you want to go to. Just follow your heart. But remember that you only have a few hours."

"What happens if I run out of time?"

"Don't worry you will come back here and sleep afterwards, because you will run out of energy."

I shook my head in reply and looked toward were I was going. The white had turned into blue and white. I looked around me and up all I saw was blue with what looked like puffy white clouds. That was when I realized that were I was, was in the sky. I looked down to see I was right over the Shibuya district. I could see all the little people walking to work after their lunch breaks.

I slowly started to float downwards towards the SPR building as I thought about it. when I was about level with Naru window I stopped. Leaning into to see if I could see anything I was shocked to find that I had ended u on the floor with Naru's chair a few feet away from me. I had gone through the window. But I guess that was a no brainier. What had I been thinking trying to lean on something when I was only a… a… what was I? a ghost? A spirit of some sort? An esper? Ya I guess that sounded right. I think. But I'm not human so I guess that could be it but in spirit form? Oh what ever I guess that's what I could call myself. A spiritual esper.

I got up and looked around. Naru was sitting at his desk and Lin was beside of him. Infront of then was Madoka. They looked like they were having a staring contest. What was going on?

"Your father has requested this of you Noll. This is not something you can turn down." Madoka said with a sickly sweet smile.

"She's right Noll. And you know it. You can't just turn this down. He is your father and your boss. This is something that you can't just turn away from." Said Lin.

"We just a case and look where that ended. In disaster. Now Mai is dead. I do not want to risk any more lives. I don't care whom this case is for or if my father asked for our help I'm not going to allow anymore of my co-workers to end up hurt. This case is simply to dangerous. Masako and john are the most likely targets for this ghost and I do not want them to do this. Not after what happened last time." Naru almost yelled back.

Lin and Madoka just looked at him as if it were normal. I guess that's what they always have to go through when they want him to take a case.

"You need to move on Naru there are always going to be times when you have to face reality. This is something you must do. Its what your job requires. If Mai were here she would want you to take the case. This came from Lin. His face was serious and grim.

"We all miss Mai but we have to move on. She's gone now and she won't be coming back. I'm sorry that I had to say that to you but its what you needed to hear. This case is something that you must take there is no yes or no's to this one and there is no choice. This is something you will be taking on and everyone is required to come if they are available. And no, you cannot give them things to do so they aren't. they are free I have already asked them. They said they will do it and that they would be happy to accompany us along the way. They have already been informed of the risks and they have been given the choice of going or not." Madoka looked like she was ready to explode with emotions, but she held them back well and was able to keep her composer.

I looked on with a questioning gaze but remembered that they wouldn't be able o see me. I would have to remember to keep a constant check on them so I would be able to come with the on the case.

I had had enough of listening to there case detail. All I really learned was that they were going to a relative of Lin's that had just recently bought a mansion in Japan. All of his younger savants had turned up dead or haven't turned up at all. It was kind of like what had happened on the bloody labyrinth case. But this time the house wasn't so big and there was no hidden spaces to hid bodies in plus the attacks where at random most of the time. It just so happened that forty percent of them were younger years. And then after that there were deaths of all ages. There was really no pattern. But that's all I really learned because they had gone back to the argument that had happened when I had just walked/fell in.

I walked out the door or should I say walked though the door and stopped dead in my tracks at what I saw.
