back in japan

Mai had just walked in though the door, when she heard Naru call out to her from the other room.

"your late." he spoke in his usual tone.

"lm sorry Naru, its just l got stuck at school. one of my friends wanted me to go meet some of the upper class man so l could tell them what l do for my job. l really dident mean it to take so long." she said as she hanged her jacket.

"Mai, will you please get the tea." said Naru half listening, as he was looking though a bunch of files.

"yes sir." she said thrwing her hand into the air.

she went into the kitchen to boil some green leaves. when she heard a knock.

she peaked out only for a second before returning back to making tea.

"come in." she heard Naru say, and she smiled as she recodnized the voices.

"hey Naru how's it going." said Houshou walking in.

"lm doing okay monk." he said not looking up from his files.

"tea's ready." Mai said walking in.

she set down Naru's cup on his desk, then went over to set the others on the table in the center of the room.

"come on Naru why so strat forword all the time, come on relax have some fun."

"a job is not for having fun, you should now that by now." said Naru looking up at the monk for a few seconds before returning to his work.

"thank you Mai." said john in his British accent, which made her smile more.

everyone came to the table and turk there seats. Masako turk her cup in her hands and before drinking it, she asked.

"did you remember not to add sugar in mine."

"ofcourse, how would l forget after that fit you threw last time." Mai forced a smile. Masako smiled slightly and sipped her tea.

they all waited for a few minutes and everyone was already finished with their tea. they sat quitly, waiting for Naru to report them an assignment. but he dident say a word.

"okay then." Mai said clapping her hands.

"lets play a little game, l thought of it in school."

"instead of paying attenchon, no wonder you dont get any smarter." Mai gave him an ugly look before turning her attenchon back to the others.

"okay it goes like this." just as she was about to explain the rules of the game, some one knocked on the door.

"come in." osamo came into the room. Mai's face dropped.

"l was really looking forword to this game." Mai quitly said.

"oooo, back from your trip so soon, how was it." said Ayako.

"actilly that what l wanted to talk to you about." he walked inside the room just as Mai was getting up.

he stopped and stared at her, his face tuned white as a ghost. he dident say a word, or moved. he just stood in one spot staring at her as if paralized.

"you look exsacly like her, exsacly like the demon woman."

"demon woman." Mai spoke.

"why would you say something like that." John spoke.

"you wont belive the things l saw at the house. the woman controlling spirits. a girl ghost telling me she's trapped inside the house, that she uses our fears to trap us."

"and l look like her."

"you look addentical to her." Mai dropped her pot.

"how could this be. she's not supposed to be alive." Mai spoke in a terrified voice. her eyes showed the sign of fear.

"you know this woman?" fanilly Naru raised his head.

"yes, l think l do."
