Hello everyone!

I'm finally back after almost a years abscence! I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed!
Just reading the reviews make me want to write a whole lot more^^

But anyway! Here you have another thrilling chapter! Read and enjoy! Don't forget to review!
Disclaimer: No I still don't own Ghost hunt, because if I did Mai and Lin would be veeeeery happy together^^

Mai was sitting at her desk doodling on a piece of paper, daydreaming about the last couple of days.. It was totally deserted and quiet, the only thing that could be heard was the light tapping of Lin's typing.. "Mai, tea please!" She heard from Naru's office making her jump slightly.. "Hai hai.." She stood and went towards the kitchen but not before poking his head into Lin's office.. "Would you like some tea Lin-kun?" Lin turned around and nodded with a smile.. Mai continued towards the kitchen and started making tea, thinking back on that morning after Osamu's assault..

[Flashback]

"Ohayo Lin-kun.. Did you get any sleep?" Mai was still slightly flushed from the dream... 'I can't believe I actually dreamt that... and it felt so real' "Ohayo Mai-chan, Yes I managed to get some sleep.. I must say you have a very interesting collection of books.. I didn't think you would be interested in Edgar Alan Poe or Shakespeare.." Mai blushed a little at his smile..
She scratched her head and laughed a little.. "Well I just like the way they write.. Especially Edgar Alan Poe, his way of writing is so dark and enchanting.." Lin nodded and agreed.. 'She's smarter that she gives off..' "How's the cheek and eye?" Mai's smile faded.. She slightly touched her cheek.. It still hurt a little.. not to badly.."Well it still stings.. I covered up most of it with make up.. Don't really feel like showing of my black eye and dark cheek to the whole world.." Lin gave a small smile and pulled her in to a gentle hug.. "Shimpai yo Mai-chan.. You look cute either way.. But if I ever see that bastard punk again..." He trailed of from the sentence as he saw Mai's deep red blush.. 'Did he just.. say that I looked cute?' She looked him in his eyes and saw a flurry of emotions that she couldn't discern..

"Nee Mai-chan.. How would you like to company me for a walk, maybe grab ourselves some tea?" Mai's eyes lit up and she smiled a widely.. "Yes I would love too.."

[End of Flashback]

After that day, they had on more than one occasion gone on walks through parks and shared tea and even dinner sometimes.. She poured the tea into three cups and put them on a tray..
She carried the tea too Naru first.. She knocked gently and opened the door announcing her entrance.. "Here's your tea Naru.." She walked over too his desk and put the cup down.. "Thank you Mai.. How are you doing?" If this had been a week earlier she would probably be shocked and giddy but now Mai just smiled at Naru.. "I'm fine Naru.." She walked out and continued to Lin's office.. Ever since Osamu's assault both Naru and Lin had changed.. Naru had become a little more pleasant and generous and all over nicer to be around..
He could occasionally start small talks and he thanked people a little bit more.. Sure he still the same Naru with his workaholic manners, grouchy behavior and his narcissistic side.. "Here's your tea Lin-kun.." Lin accepted the cup with a heart-melting smile which made Mai blush a bright red.. "Thank you Mai-chan.." He took a sip and continued typing..
Mai went out to her own desk and continued to doodle on her paper.. 'What a drag... It's so quiet..' Mai felt her eyes drop, but she shook herself awake.. 'Yabe.. If I fall asleep Naru will scold me soo bad..' But her thinking that way didn't help much because her eyes dropped again and this time sleep won over her..

Mai was in a big house, a big, airy and light house.. She looked around and saw a couch and bookshelves and a small TV.. 'Must be a living room.. But why do I feel like I've been here before?' She walked round in the house trying to figure out why this place was so familiar.. She saw a bunch of photos on the fireplace.. Most of them were pictures of a family, A beautiful mother, a strong-looking father and two twingirls in their teens.. 'They look like they are my age..' She put down the photograph and continued through the room..
She walked into the kitchen and saw Gene standing there.. He seemed so serious.. "Hi Gene.. What is it?" He looked at her with a mixture of fear and anger.. "This is not a safe place Mai.. You should not be here!" Mai was a little taken back by Gene's uncharacteristic behavior.. Her whole body froze, filled with the sense of dread and fear.. "What is happening Gene?" He fixed his eyes on the door which Mai just walked in through.. "Mai listen carefully what I am about to say.. Be very careful about which cases you accept in the near future.. It is for you own safety.. " Mai was shaking with fear.. Suddenly she heard someone walk in the room next door.. "Mai you got to get out of here now.. It is not safe for you.. Go through that door and you should be safe.. I'm sorry.." Mai ran towards the door like her life depended on it.. Just as she opened the door out of this dream she glanced back and saw a dark figure running after her with a hand outstretched, almost grabbing a hold of her.. She screamed with all her might.. "NOOOOO!"

Lin was sitting and typing on his computer.. 'It's a really slow day.. Maybe I should take a pause and go out for a walk.. I could always take my Mai with me..' He stopped all his ministrations at that thought.. "My Mai..." He whispered and couldn't help but feel how right that sounded.. He stood up and walked out of his office and was greeted by the sight of Mai sleeping..
Lin smiled and sighed.. The door opened to Naru's office and said person walked out with a file in his hand... "Mai could you get me..." Naru huffed and closed his file.. "Don't worry I'll wake her up.." Lin walked over to Mai and got a feeling something was very wrong.. He noticed that she was shaking, her eyes moving rapidly behind her eyelids.. "Naru.. There is something wrong.." Naru stepped forward and saw her shaking, he was about to put his hand on her head to glimpse what she was dreaming when she all of a sudden sat straight up, eyes wide open staring at him and gave of a heart-breaking shrill.. "NOOOOO!" All of a sudden Naru felt like something big and hard hit him and sent him flying across the room straight into a bookshelf..
Other things started flying across the room like someone threw them.. Books, cups, pencil and other small objects flew across the room.. 'This is not good at all.. At this rate.. Mai..' "Mai! Wake up! Mai!" Lin tried to shake her awake.. Her eyes were still glazed over, like she was still dreaming and he too started to feel the force of whatever sent Naru flying.. 'Not good..' "Mai.. Please Mai wake up.. " He hugged her tightly to his chest..

Mai stopped shaking and calmed down... She very confused.. 'What happened? Where am I?' She still felt scared but she also felt safe.. But she couldn't understand why she felt afraid.. "Are you okay Mai?" She looked up into Lin's eyes and nodded.. She then caught sight of the mess in the room and gasped.. "What happened? Naru! Oh my god Naru!" She ran over to him and tried to check his vitals, but she was too shaky.. Just then the door to SPR opened and there stood Bou-san, Ayako, John and Masako very confused.. Mai stood up and started breath faster..
'What is happening? What happened? Who did this?' Her train of thoughts were interrupted by a head-splitting pain.. She sank to the floor and hyperventilated, she felt her vision go blurry and voices blur together.. The only thing she heard was three heart-breaking words.. "I'm sorry Mai.."

What is happening?

What was that strange and frightening warning Gene gave her? What is this hidden power Mai has shown?

Please review and tell me your thoughts of the chapter!
I can't with joy tell you that I have decided to lengthen the story! I have an awesome plot in my head that just has to go down on paper_

And Just to make som things clear.. Mai knows who Naru and Gene are, Naru knows that Gene visits Mai's dreams and I have decided that Mai likes the book written here..XD

Until next chapter, matta o^^
