Hi guys! I'm finally back! I feel like this chapter was like really awkward -.- but I hope you like it ^^ I dunno if anyone actually reads these things ahaha but I'm thanking everyone for reading and following and adding the story to your favorites too! It makes me happy and I get random emails whenever people do it xD but yeah I'll let you guys read now.

Disclaimer: I do not own ghost hunt or it's plot or any of it's characters, I just own the random plot I made up and any random characters I put in that weren't in the original story.

Mai looked around, she was in the darkness again. Hesitantly, she began to feel around hoping she wouldn't find the same thing she did last time. She could still feel the dirt but the smell of blood wasn't there.

"Mai," she jumped at Gene's voice.

"Gene," she sighed. "Why am I here again?"

"You guys need to be really careful on this case, no one can ever go around alone while on the campus. Always go in groups of three at the least, you don't want to get taken, it won't turn out well this time." He warned ignoring her question.

"You didn't answer my question," Mai said rolling her eyes, "do you know what's going on?" Gene shook his head.

"You have to go now Mai, it's not safe here." She nodded as he began to disappear.

Day 1 12:00pm

Mai opened her eyes to find herself staring into a familiar pair of blue eyes.

"Mai," Naru said, his voice full of relief. She looked around as he moved away.

"Are we in base?"

"Yes, you passed out while making tea so I brought you back here."

"What time is it?" Mai asked looking around for a clock or any other indicator of time.

"A little past noon." He replied sitting in a chair next to the couch as she sat up.

"Where is everyone else?" She looked at him suspiciously.

"I managed to convince them to go eat lunch before they collapsed from hunger." Naru said rolling his eyes in annoyance. "They said they weren't hungry but their stomachs seemed to disagree with that. Masako showed up early as well, her schedule freed up and she got here not long after you passed out. However, I'd like to know what happened when you collapsed."

"If I tell you will you come eat with me?" He sighed nodding as held his black notebook, pen waiting. Mai smiled triumphantly and began telling him about the voice and Gene's warning.

Mai and Naru made it to the diner in the middle of the rest of the groups very loud lunch. There were two empty seats across from each other, Mai sat in the one next to Masako, and Naru in the one next to Lin.

"Yo Mai!" Bou-san called out from the other end of the table. "Are you feeling better?" Before she could respond Ayako, who was sitting next to him, hit him with her purse.

"Don't be rude! It's not polite to yell across the table like that stupid monk." She said in her loud voice.

"And it's rude to hit innocent people with that purse old lady!" They began fighting again, John and Yasuhara sat next to each other on the other side of the table having an interesting interaction with each other, as John seemingly became Yasuhara's new Bou-san for the time being.

"So Masako. We haven't been able to talk in a while. How do you feel about this case?" Mai turned to Masako after ordering her food.

"I feel uneasy...like someones watching me when I'm in the school." She muttered covering her mouth with her kimono out of habit.

"I know the feeling," Mai shuddered mumbling to herself and staring at the table.

"Miss Hara, if you ever feel too uncomfortable you may leave." Naru said watching Mai from the corner of his eye. "It may not be safe enough for you to stay if you're feeling like this considering the circumstances of this case."

"No it's fine. I'll be alright" Masako replied calmly.

"Alright, if that's how you feel. Are you okay Mai?" He asked hiding any worry he was feeling.

"Yes I'm fine. I don't want to leave this case." Mai replied quickly, not only did she want to stay on the case, she also wanted to stay near everyone, she didn't feel safe alone.

"I wasn't going to make you leave, if anything I'd have you leave with someone else so you'd be safe." Naru replied making Mai smile. "Lin, did you search up what I asked?"

"Yes, I didn't find anything even after a thorough search." He responded quietly, and just after he did Naru and Mai's food arrived ending the conversation.

Day 1 2:00pm

After Naru and Mai had finished eating they all left and made their way back to the school. Mai was sitting in front of the monitors with Lin and Naru.

"Naru?" Mai looked up at him.

"Yes?" He replied not looking away from the monitors.

"Should we make groups?" Naru paused at Mai's question then stood up.

"We will be creating two groups. No one should be alone while on the campus and there should always be three people together at all times, however due to the number of people we have it doesn't split evenly in groups of 3 and is best to make two groups instead." Naru said getting everyone's attention.

"How will we decide the groups?" Bou-san asked.

"I have already decided, my group will be Mai, Lin, and myself." He said looking at each person as he listed them off, "The other group is Monk's, which will include Ayako, John, Yasuhara, and Masako. Make sure you are always with your assigned group, at the very least make sure you're with at least one other person from your group, never go anywhere alone." With that Naru sat down and started writing in his black notebook, "Monk take your group around the school to see if anyone of you sense something, Yasu, go talk to the people who went missing, here's a list of their names and addresses." Naru handed him the list and the group left base.

"Are we just going to sit here and watch the monitors?" Mai asked already bored.

"Yes."

"Again?" She groaned.

"Well Lin and myself can watch the monitors ourselves, go to sleep. We need more info on this case and I'm sure you were just going to fall asleep anyway."

"Hey! I wasn't gonna fall asleep." Mai huffed in annoyance.

"Yes you were, you normally do." Naru shrugged. Mai rolled her eyes going over to the couch in the middle of the room.

"Stupid narcissist." She muttered to herself as she laid down.

Mai looked around, she was currently sitting on her bed in her apartment. Confused, she got up and walked into the small living room area she had, everything looked the same as it normally does but there was something off. A strange feeling went through Mai as she stood there, it got stronger once she made her way to the door and soon turned into the same feeling of being watched that she had before. It was uncomfortable and wouldn't go away, fear began to spread through Mai and she wanted to escape. She ran back into her bedroom and looked out the window but fell back screaming when she saw a person staring into the window, Mai ran back to the front door and into the hallway she made it halfway down the hall when she saw the man again, he was wandering through the halls. She gasped and froze, however when he turned to her direction he didn't react, he couldn't see her. At that point Mai realized she was somehow astral projecting again and tried to stop it and go back to her body still fearing that something would happen. Eventually everything turned black and Mai was in a dreamless sleep.

"Mai, wake up Mai." Ayako said, shaking said teen. "It's late, we have to go back to the hotel, wake up." She sighed looking at Bou-san irritatedly.

"Mai!" Bou-san yelled then, after no response, shrugged looking back at Ayako. "Naru, Lin, she's not waking up." He called over to the stoic duo sitting at the monitors. Naru sighed standing up and going over, Lin following behind him.

"Mai it's time to wake up." Naru said sitting her up, she continued to sleep though. Lin sat on his knees in front of her and closed his eyes then placed a hand on her forehead after a few seconds he stood back up.

"It seems her body is physically out of energy, or in other words she's really tired and is in a very deep sleep. She was probably astral projecting for some reason." Lin said looking at Naru. The others sighed in relief and Naru was relieved as well even though he didn't show it. He picked her up bridal style then made his way to the door.

"Let's go now." Naru said and they all made their way out.
