Summary: My name's Taniyama Mai, I'm twenty-three years old, and at the moment I'm in the dumps... so to speak. The only way I could get out of this was by becoming the world's most hottest band's manager, and to tell you the truth it was a harder job then it looked with monk bassists and twin devils, silent watchers and creepy boys. Oh what did I get myself into!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Hunt, just the idea of this plot. Also, I don't own any of the songs I will be using in this fiction.

Author's Rant: Hello my people of fanfiction. It's me, Draycos, once more. I have come with a lovely long awaited update. It took me forever to think up an idea for this one. I picked one of the hardest characters to start out with. Also, this chapter is like my shortest, so it really disappoints my on that note. I usually like writing chapters longer then 2000 words. This one only hit around 1700. So I'm like off by 300 or so. Gah! Anyways, read on please

Warning: Story is un'betaed!

ESP

Why Me?

"Hmmm... this one."

Four purple petals stretched out at the bottom like a waterfall of violet, the petals as soft as velvet and as gentle to the touch as smooth baby-soft skin. Four other petals raised up like protected guards, arms at the ready. They were surrounding three smaller petals on the inside which cushioned the yellow pollen, the golden jewel giving off a glisten of achievement.

"This one, sir?"

A nod of a head.

"Hai. This will be absolutely perfect for her." His glasses glinted in the glaring sun.

Watch the sunrise...

Grumbling in my stupor I slipped out of my bed as I heard my front door's bell ring. Stumbling across the room I took a quick look in the mirror. My hair was sticking out at all angles as if there was a bird wrestling with a worm. I didn't even want to know what the other strands were supposed to be. Patting my hair down as best as it would go without a brush I straighten out my shirt and fixed my pajama pants.

Walking into my living room and opening the door I was met with a purple... flower?

"How wonderful it is to see you again, Mai-chan. Oh, and look, you seem to be in such a natural state. I'm so honored you feel like you can be like this around me."

Looking passed thin fingers wrapped delicately around the flower I trailed passed the arm and up the neck to the glasses wear's face, a bright - and I will say amused that darn bastard - smile greeted me.

I slammed the door.

"Guess that didn't turn out as well as I planned," the drummist muttered as he fixed his glasses.

...Say you're good-byes,

"Sorry about earlier. You know, the door slamming," I muttered sheepishly as I placed a cup of coffee in front of the drummist.

"Not at all, Mai-chan. It was my fault after all." He placed the iris down gently on the coffee table, lifting the mug up afterwards for a few quick sips.

Looking around Yasuhara admitted that her apartment had a nice feel around it. Homely feel, he noted. The size also seemed perfect for a girl of her proceedings.

"So," Yasuhara started, "what are we going to do today."

Oh yeah... I have to spend a whole day with Yasuhara don't I.

"Well what do you want to do?" I asked. "I didn't really have anything planned to do today. I did my cleaning on Sunday and I already been to the store..." I started muttering off things as I went to refill his empty cup, also wondering when he finished drinking it.

"How about we go to that carnival. I heard today was the last day. Unless you've all ready been there." Placing the new refilled cup in front of the drummist I nodded my head enthusiastically. I've been wanting to go there for the longest time this month, though I never seem to have the time to do so... or the money.

"My treat," added Yasuhara as an afterthought. Could he read minds or something?

"That sounds great!" I was already heading out the door.

"Uh, Mai-chan! I know you feel like you can be so natural around me but I don't think the world will accept you in such a state. Besides, I'll get jealous."

My shriek could probably be heard around the world. I can't believe I walked out with bed hair and pajamas on.

Off we go...

Looking up in awe at the larger carnival attractions that stuck up from behind the trees I couldn't hold in my excitement. I don't care if they call me a kid. I wanted to be a child my whole life if I could ride those rides.

Yasuhara pulled off the freeway and we went streets, the carnival coming into full focus with the rest of the rides as we got closer. I wanted to go on that one, and that one, OH! and THAT ONE! Deferentially that one.

"We should go on this one Mai-chan." Looking at Yasuhara I followed his pointed finger. The ride looked simple enough. It was one of those spiny rides that spun you around as it circled in height. Then it took you all the way around and flipped you upside down, spinning you around in circles for about a minute before taking you back down.

Well that seems fun, I thought off handedly as I turned away, just to snap right back.

"Ano... Yasuhara... but doesn't that look a bit dangerous?"

"That's the point though, Mai-chan. What's a ride without that life threatening suspense!"

By this time we were all ready parked. Unbuckling myself I stumbled out of the car as Yasuhara locked up and pocketed his keys, walking over to me.

"Demo..."

"Awe come on Mai-chan. I am paying for you after all" - he had this wicked grin on as he said this, his glasses glinting in the sunlight; could you say blackmail much - "so the least you could do is amuse me and come on the ride as well."

Hooking his arm through mine we walked off (or dragged in my case) toward the carnival, and possibly our death. I honestly didn't want to be the one blamed for killing Yasuhara, one of the most hottest band members party of one of the worlds most loved band. Oh yeah... I could so totally see the news.

….Some conversation,

Sitting strapped in the seat next to Yasuhara, who had two other girls to his left, my heart beat nervously. Oh my god, we were going to die! Looking up toward the sky as one of the ride attendants checked our straps and locked down this metal gate in front of us I prayed to all the gods I could think of to protect us.

I couldn't die. I still had more then forty years in me to live. I mean I wanted a nice house and I wanted lots of money. I also wanted kids and a husband!

Turning to look at Yasuhara, or what I could see of him, I stated, "If I die, I'm going to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life."

"My, my, Mai-chan, I guess I'll just have to have Bou-san exorcist you."

"Grrr.. can't you give me any satisfaction."

No contemplation...

We. Were. Stuck.

Let me repeat that for you.

WE. WERE. STUCK!

The ride was actually a lot of fun. Yasuhara was right about the suspense thing. It did make the ride lots of fun. Now though, I don't know, specially with the blood rush to my brain.

"Sorry Mai," Yasuhara said meekly as we hung there upside down, staring at the faces down below looking up at us with fright in there eyes. You think your scared. Why don't we change placing and we will really see who's scared.

"It's ok Yasuhara. It wasn't your fault that we got caught up here like this or anything. Or is it?"

"Mai, I'm not god. Though some people could say I am."

"Yasuhara, remind me never to inflate your big ego ever again."

"Hai!"

The ride shook with a trimmer, and before we knew it we completed the whole spin upside down before the ride started to lower again. Now at a complete stop we all quickly got unbuckled and hopped out after one of the attendants lifted up the gate.

"Last time I'm ever letting you talk me into coming on one of your rides," I grouched as we walked off the ride and headed toward another one.

"I think that's a reasonable compromise." Laughing we waited to get onto another ride.

...Hit the road.

Sitting at my laptop I twirled the purple iris Yasuhara gave me earlier that day. You know, before the death carnival. After that whole experience all the other rides were really a blast, though not as exciting. Yasuhara even won me a grey dog which I named after him because, well, we both agreed it looked like him, minus the glasses of course though I would fine a pair like his somewhere.

At about seven o'clock we left, the drummist treating me to dinner. My opinion about him changed throughout the day. Yasuhara was really a sweet guy at heart. You just had to get through all that teasing, sarcastic, and fake-charming exterior to get to the real man inside. I felt slightly jealous (and yet happy) for whatever girl got together with the drummist.

After he took me home his last parting words were to look up what the iris meant. So this is where I was, with a bright smile on my face as I shut down my computer and got a cup from a cabinet in my kitchen, filling it with water for the flower.

Walking into my room I placed it on the dresser near the dog he won me. Dressing back into my pajamas and brushing my teeth I turned off the light and slipped in bed. I wonder who I would get tomorrow. Rolling over I looked up through the dark at the iris, a small smile on my face as I fell asleep.

Iris - Faith; hope; wisdom and valor

I hope you guys enjoyed it. Oh yeah... could you tell me who you want next between these two:

Lin and Bou-san.

I'm not doing Naru and Gene until a bit later. I might do Naru after Lin or Bou-san (whichever one you pick) so please review for this chapter and the character you want. Thank you!
