Author's Note: I think my mommy forgot about taking my computer away because I still have it.

Rena: That's a good thing, but you should be working on your summer assignment. School starts the eight and you haven't even read the books!

I don't want to!

Rena: quite complaining!

(grumbling in the corner)

Rena: (sigh) well, please enjoy this next chapter and review. Please?

I DO NOT OWN GHOST HUNT

Chapter Two

Rena's P.O.V

I walked into the apartment completely worn out.

"Why is the world so cruel to me?" I mumbled into the sofa, I'd fallen face first into it.

"Well you have to admit that it was your own fault, this time," Naru told me.

"Yeah,"

I spent the afternoon calming them down, it had been beyond pretty. I didn't really understand the need to make such a big deal out of it. It was like a gossip secession for old ladies with nothing better to do, no offense to the elderly. Funny how this all happened at an office, were people were suppose to be working.

"Look at it this way, now you don't have to go around hiding," Gene said.

"The cat has a point," Koujo agreed from the kitchen at least I think.

"I'm still tired," I mumbled.

"Come on get up, Lin is cooking leftovers," I sighed and sat up.

"Men are too lazy to cook," I grumbled.

Naru shook his head. Then again I wouldn't want to eat anything they came up with either.

"We're just too practical," he said I gave him a look but got up to check on Koujo.

"So we're eating that," I pointed to the plate.

"You cooked it, I'm just re-heating it," he told me.

"Yeah, yeah," I said helping him set the table.

-After the Questionable Dinner-

After eating Koujo had gone off to his room and I was sitting on the sofa with Naru. He wrapped an arm around my waist pulling me closer.

"You seem a little out of it recently," he told me.

"Really?" I asked softly.

"Yes, you do," he placed a hand on my forehead. "You're not sick though,"

Mai had said something like that too hadn't she?

"You know Mai said something like that once," I told him he frowned.

"Do you think it's because of how long he's been gone?" he asked I looked down.

I didn't like talking about that.

"It could be related," he grabbed my hand.

"Sorry,"

"Don't worry about it,"

"That's silly and you know it," I smiled.

"Yeah you have a point,"

He titled my head up and we shared a sweet kiss. It made me feel all warm and bubbly forcing me to let go of the recent memory. Yet it still held a bitter taste, never fully enveloping me in its sweetness.

"Kissing like that should be illegal," I mumbled he smirked.

"And being so cute should be illegal, but, you don't hear me complaining," he told me I smiled a little.

"You're so mean,"

I pulled him into another one kiss; before he could deepen it though, Koujo's bedroom door opened.

"I don't mean to be rude, but, please refrain from touching my sister in front of me," he told Naru.

"No one told you to wake up Lin," Naru complained I laughed.

"Good night Naru," I said giving him a quick kiss. "Night Koujo,"

I kissed his cheek and skipped to my room.

"He's taking it better the I thought," Gene said.

"That's because Koujo knows that I'll do whatever I want regardless of what he thinks," I reminded Gene.

"You have a point," he jumped on my bed. "Get to sleep, we have a long day tomorrow,"

"Yeah just give me a sec,"

I changed into my PJs and then I crawled into bed.

"Night night Gene,"

"Night,"

Naru's P.O.V

I sighed for the eighteen hundredth time that day. Apparently that guy that Bou-san had brought in the other was a big hit.

"So what's you favorite color?" Ayako asked.

"I don't really have one," he said.

They'd been all that since Bou-san introduced him. The bad part was that they were louder then usual.

The bell on the door began to ring, who could that be?

"Hello, I'm Taniyama Mai, how can I help you?" Mai asked whoever it was that had come in.

"This is Shibuya's Physic Research?" he asked.

There's a sign on the door that says so.

"Yes, would you like to speak with Shibuya-san?" she offered.

"Yes, please, I'm sorry to come in without calling before hand," he said.

"It's alright don't worry," she told him.

I waited for the knock on my door.

"Come in,"

"Naru we have a client," she told me I nodded.

"Go make tea,"

"Gotcha,"

I walked out of my office and a man about twenty was sitting down on the couch.

"Hello, my name is Shibuya Kazuya, how can I help you?" I asked.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Suou Evan, and I'd like you to look into my home," he said.

I motioned for him to sit and he began to explain the situation to me. His home in Kyoto was going to be remodeled but it was stopped. Every floor of that damn house was plagued with one thing or another. That's what made me so willing to go. Usually if a house was haunted it was contained to a certain area not sporadic like this. Kyoto was far though.

"As for transportation and all your necessities I'll take care of it, please consider taking my case," he pleaded I shared a look with Lin and Rena who both nodded their heads.

"Very well Suou-san we'll take your case," I told him.

"Thank you,"

So that was that. Lovely.

Mai's P.O.V

I was busy trying to organize the information that Suou-san had given us, but, I'd never been out of Tokyo so my head was starting to hurt. Everyone had left to go pack their bags, apparently we were leaving tomorrow.

"What's with the face?" Rena asked me.

"I can't make heads or tails of this," I complained waving the stack of papers, Naru had told me to make an outline. She got up and grabbed the stack.

"Let me take a look, you write what I tell you, k?" she asked I nodded.

"Thanks a bunch," I told her.

"Good, because when we're done with this we're going onto the game plan,"

"What game plan?" I asked she smiled.

"Just write Mai," I stuck my tongue out at her but I did what she said and soon we were actually done.

She looked at Naru's office and winked at me.

"How about we get out of here?" she asked I shook my head.

"We can't get out of work," I protested.

"There's nothing else to do, besides we have to get your bags packed," she said I raised an eyebrow.

"What are you going on about?" I demanded she rolled her eyes.

"Never mind Mai," she said. "Besides Naru said we could leave as soon as we were done,"

"He did not," I protested.

"Yeah, he feels kind of bad for leaving me alone yesterday," she explained.

I laughed that had been pretty hilarious. The look on the guys faces was priceless, only John had taken it well.

"It's not funny," she huffed pulling her jacket on.

"It kind of was," I said she sighed.

"Come on, let's get going," she told me opening the door, I grabbed my purse and followed her out.

"Where should we go?" I asked.

"How about there, I'm kind of hungry," she said pointing to a cafe.

"Sure," we crossed the street and sat down.

"I'll get to the point Mai, if you do like Koujo what are you planing on doing?" Rena asked me I averted my eyes.

Why was she so blunt sometimes?

"I really don't know, I haven't had the best luck with confessions," I admitted.

"I know, but how do I say this, I don't think it'll be like that," she said I gave her a confused look.

When had Rena found out about that?

"You're being confusing," I told her she sighed.

"I know, I don't want to tell you, but then it's hard to have this conversation without saying it, so yeah,"

She sighed and I took that as a cue to waved the waitress over. I gave her my order and Rena hers'.

"How about you and Naru?" I asked.

"What about that?"

"How did you two end up together?" I clarified she smiled.

"Well, we actually dated before now, back in England," she explained. "I was in an accident and it put me in a coma. Nau took it pretty badly and we sort of ended up confessing together." she got a far away look. "But then Gene's accident happened and we left it at that, he had to find his brother and well I had to stay in England," she smiled.

"So you two were on and off?"

"No. We ended it back in England, and thought that, that was going to be the end of it. I mean, after all we both had important people that we weren't willing to give up and then well, things change Mai. Gene died and I ended up in Japan, after all we never really stopped having feelings for each other, we just never had the chance to let our relationship flourish and we were finally given the chance," she frowned a little. "I know it may sound selfish, but we're not willing to just let it end again, not again,"

I placed a hand over hers'.

"It is absolutely not selfish to try and remain with the one you love, everyone has the right to search for their happiness." I told her she smiled.

"Thanks, but we're not talking about me, we're talking about you, so what do you want to do?" she asked I sighed.

"Lin wasn't always very nice to me, so we had a bumpy start but since you came over we've been getting along," I told her. "I didn't realize that I liked him until recently but I don't want to risk the friendship we have by saying something I'll regret later,"

"Weren't you the one telling me to live a little?" she asked.

"Well sorry for being a coward," I pouted.

"I think you're the farthest thing from a coward Mai, you're just have a very kind heart; being a little selfish isn't going to kill you," Rena told me.

I rolled my eyes and the waitress came back placing our drinks on the table.

"Since when do you drink coffee?" she asked me.

"Don't know, working at SPR is making me old," I complained she laughed.

"Really? But it keeps Naru and Koujo young," she commented.

"Don't you think it's a bad thing that I like Lin?" I'd been thinking lately that maybe the age gap was a little too much.

"Not really," she said. "It all depends on how you look at it, it doesn't matter how much the age difference is, but how you treat each other. After all I'd rather be in a relationship with a guy who treats me right that's eight years older then me then a guy who's my same age that treats me like trash,"

"You have a point,"

"Besides, I'm sure where ever your parents are they just want you to be happy," I looked up at her and smiled back at her.

"How do you do that?" I asked.

"It's a talent I developed over the years," she gloated I took a sip of my coffee.

"Great," I said rolling me eyes.

"This case is going to be pretty difficult I was just wonder if maybe you wanted to take care-

"Naru told you to talk me out of going?" I guessed.

"Actually, I have a very long list of people who want me to talk you out of going," she told me I folded my arms over my chest.

"No. I'm going,"

I expected a long argument that might escalate to profanity but it didn't happen.

"Okay," she said.

"Okay? You're giving up that easily?" I asked in disbelief.

"Protecting you for the rest of your life isn't helping you, you're never going to get stonger if no one gives you the chance to," she explained. "Besides, that's why I'm here, to make sure you don't get yourself killed,"

"Gee, thanks," I muttered.

"It could be worse,"

"How so?"

"Naru could just lock you in the office and tell Yasu to go get you later," she told me.

"Hahaha, very funny,"

"It's true,"

"But you're not going to let him, right?" I asked starting to panic.

"Of course not, I already told you that I think it's stupid to try and protect someone," she said.

"Then you don't want to protect Naru?" she looked away.

"That's different," Rena said I smiled.

"You really love him don't you?" she blushed.

"Well, yeah," she mumbled.

"I'm glad that you two are together, it's about time that Naru started smiling again," I told her.

"Yeah, but Homes will always be Homes, he didn't smile much when he was a kid either," she said.

"But he stopped completely after Gene died,"

"I know,"

Rena's P.O.V

I waved to Mai as she went into her apartment and I made my way back; it was going to take a while but I still had time.

This week, if I was lucky, this would be the last week that I spent without my brother. I took a deep breath. I should be happy, beyond happy, but why couldn't I shake this feeling of dread?

Other's P.O.V

"He's still sleeping?"

"Yeah,"

"But we still need him in that house,"

"Yes Lady Veronica,"

The two men left the room.

"I'm sorry this happened to you, but I owe your sister, so hopefully she'll be able to save you," she whispered to the black haired boy on the stretcher. "Sorry,"

She walked out of the room and left him alone.

In the room his finger began to move.

Author's Note: Oh my god! Things are really building up aren't they?

Rena: What's with this intense atmosphere?

Don't worry, you've always been lucky right?

Rena: Hopefully

Gene: Look! It's another story! (jumping up and down)

Rena and Eclipse: you weren't aware of this new story.

Gene: No (too excited to act angry)

You did send out the memo right?

Rena: That's not my job, that's your'!

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Rena and Eclipse: we're in so much trouble. See you next time.

Love

Eclipse
