I DO NOT OWN GHOST HUNT

It was 3:00 am when the front door finally rattled opened to reveal the slumped form of Mai making her way to SPR base. She opened the door only to be met with the slightly surprised faces of the whole SPR gang, doing a double check Takigawa noted that the girl had not lied about her returning late.

Unbuttoning her shirt to reveal a a white tee, rubbing her stomach unlady like she said as she bit back a yawn: " Anyone want tea." Naru' s ears perked at the mentioned of his favorite beverage, he nodded in response as Lin shook his head quite content with his mug of coffee as were the others enjoying there own beverage. Yawning more openly Mai made her way to the kitchen to brew a fresh cup of tea. As she placed the kettle at the stove she rubbed the back of her neck as she felt a cold chill pass through her. As if snapping her out of her stupor the kettle whistle and she removed it and pored the powder in. She fixed a tray with two cups and left to the base. Naru watched as Mai entered and placed a cup near his reach whilst she unceremoniously sprawled herself on the near by armchair with her own cup of tea.

Bringing himself to business Naru sighed as he said: "We would like to ask you a couple of questions." Which sounded more of a command than an actual in which she had no way out of. Mai nodded tiredly as she propped herself across from him while Lin positioned himself to type the interview. Naru asked: "Do you know any history of the house." Mai shook her head in response. Ayako continued: "Do you live alone?" Mai shot her an 'Isn't that obvious look' in which Takigawa snorted in response to her reaction, John then continued: "Were are your parents?" Mai leered at him, Naru noticed and thought: ' Obviously a sensitive subject. ' Mai sighed and said: "Don't have any." Curiously Takigawa asked: "How did they die?" Mai looked at him unemotionally and said in a monotone voice: "I never said they died, I said I don't have any." Not liking the atmosphere the agreed not to pursue the subject.

Looking at the clock Mai lifted herself and said as she motioned to opened the door: "I'm gonna go wash up and hit the sack, I got work tomorrow at 7, so don't wake me up for unnecessary things." as she lifted her hand to the handle the door slide opened and Mai was pushed savagely as she hit the wall of the corridor. The Takigawa reacted as he saw the girl falling in unconsciousness but before he could catch her whatever force that pushed had proceeded to drag her through the corridor until she met the end of the hallway, being forcibly propped up on the wall Mai drew in a painful breath but was cut midway as the assailant began to choke her source of air, struggling Mai felt her feet leave the floor as she was being pulled upwards.

Panicking the monk, the miko and the priest all started to chant their respective mantras at the entity that had attacked the unsuspecting girl. As the entity disappeared Mai's body began to fall from the sudden release she had gained after the ghost had been exorcised but before she could hit the floor Naru had caught her, he then proceeded to take her to the base were he laid her down on the couch while Ayako inspected her. Worried by the unresponsive teen Ayako said: "It's best if we take her to a hospital." As if in response to the absurd request Mai eyes shot opened shocking everyone in the room as she grabbed Ayako's sleeve and whispered hoarsely: "No hospitals." Mai, lifted the wet cloth that had been placed on her forehead and attempted to lift herself up from the couch as she did Ayako pushed to the couch and said worriedly: "Baka you can't, you might have a concussion, and well never know if we don't go to the hospital." Mai slapped her hand away and lifted herself up much more steadlier than before as she walked to the door and said: "Ie, no hospital, shigoto, I got work tomorrow, I'm fine." She opened the door to leave but before leaving she said: " A warning I did say that you could do anything necesary for your investigation, demo..." she hesitate and looked straight at Naru's eyes before saying: "Don't go near the cliff."

The next day the SPR gang woke up to breakfast and a note, it said:

Breakfast is done, I'll be back by 4 to make dinner.

P.S. Head my warning, Don't go near the cliff.

Mai

"Some personality that girl has ne?" said Takigawa as he filled his mouth with deliciously made eggs. Ayako sat next to John with her plate, she observed the priest and frowned and said: "John what's wrong?" John looked up from his trance and smiled sheepishly as he said: "Oh it's nothing I was just wondering at what Bou-san said." he frowned and said: "It felt as though we were approaching a wounded animal that at any sudden movement might escape." "Being alone has that effect on people. I remembered the first day I left the mountain, I felt jumpy around a lot of people since I wasn't used to it, maybe she's not used to the company or people caring for her, you saw how she reacted when Ayako tried to treat her." said Takigawa chewing on a piece of sausage, he then continued saying: " Although I would reacted the same way if I had to wake up at the sight of Ayako's face." Bou-san nearly chocked as Ayako slapped his head forcefully while huffing in anger. Naru couldn't help but wonder off from the conversation as Mai's warning replayed in his head: 'Don't go near the cliff? Why though?'

It was now six and the gang started to get worried, Mai hadn't come back and it had been two hour passed the time she had said she would return. Naru thought: 'The activity seems to happen when she's around...' with that thought Naru said: "Bou-san go look for Miyagi-san, I have reason to believe that the activity is centered around her." With that the Monk nodded and left for the convenient store Naru had found out she worked at during the day.

It wasn't a far walk, but as he neared the convenient store he saw the slouched down form of Mai sitting against the wall of the stores alley. He walked up to her and said: "That's for being to stubborn to accept any help." Mai pouted and smirked as she said: "At least I got some extra cash from the people who though I was homeless." Takigawa snickered at the girls humor and asked: "Can you walk?" the girl raised an eyebrow and said: "Does it look like I can." The monk chuckled and proceeded to slouch down so the teen can make her way up. She grabbed onto his shoulders while he hoisted her up and continued the walk home.

It was a short walk, shorter still since Mai had napped on Takigawa's back, she slowly opened her eyes as she smelled the familiar salty air her house gave. Peering through Takigawa's shoulder Mai made an effort to watch the sunset that would greet her home. But as she did shock could only work through her body as she saw a dark clad teen peering through the edge of the cliff. She pushed herself off of Takigawa and tried to run towards the teen but her body protested as she only made it half way and fell to the ground unceremoniously, she began to scream: " WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Unfased Naru turned and said in a matter of fact tone: "Investigating." She desperatly tried to lift herself up again and said: "Hurry run, run back to the house." Naru responded monotously: "What are you talking about?" his question was suddenly answer when a powerful force pushed him off the cliff. 'Crap' thought Naru as he felt the rush of wind pass.

Mai's eyes widen in horror as she saw the teen fall.
