Hello everyone!

I'm back with a new and hot chapter of a Party gone Wrong..
I am so very super sorry I haven't updated regularly or in a long time..T_T

I've been in quite the slump and haven't been feeling very well..
But now I'm back and ready for action!

Also! I am thinking about changing the title of this fanfic.. The name doesn't really do the fanfic any justice anymore..

Soo please read, review and give me tips on a new fitting title^^!

Disclaimer: I still don't own Ghost hunt...O_o

"You can not be serious about letting Mai-chan join in on this case? She just got released from the hospital!" Naru sighed deeply gazing over to the self-styled miko.. "Yes I do realize she was just released and yes I am very much serious about her joining in on this case.. As it seems Mai might be the only one whom can solve it.." Ayako gazed confused at Naru.. "What exactly do you mean by that?" Naru flicked opened the case report and showed it to the miko. She read through it eying it suspiciously but at the same time with confusion.. "What in the blazing... What is this supposed to mean?" Naru smiled grimly.. "I wonder it myself... Not only was the client very odd, but the whole case file is off..." Ayako shook her head slowly in confusion.. "But what do you mean that Mai might be the only one whom can solve it?" Naru turned to look out the window and said.. "Take a close look at the name of our client.." Ayako opened the case file to the first page and gasped at what she saw.. "Ta-Taniyama Souza?! What the...? But.. Mai said she had no other relatives..." Naru smiled grimly again.. "Do you understand now why this case piqued my interest?" They could hear some bustling down the stairs. Naru eyed Ayako with great seriousness.. "Not one word about this, they need not know the full details regarding the Taniyama.. Not yet, I want to know what might be in store first.." Ayako stared grudgingly but nodded and handed the case file to him again...

"Holy cow! This is one big mansion! Are you sure we're at the right address Lin-kun?" Mai just stared in awe at the building ahead of her. Lin chuckled at her reaction.. "Yes I am very sure.. All the others are already here.. See.." She stared over at the graveled parking lot and saw the two SPR vans already there.. 'Woow.. Pretty much the whole team is gathered.. Must be a big case..'
Mai looked around and saw the members standing and talking amongst themselves. Bou-san and Ayako were leaning against the van whispering to one another, John were fiddling with his keys and Masako were hiding her face behind her sleeve.. Lin walked up to Naru and nodded.. "Alright everyone.. Let's start unpacking the cars and set up base.. The client is already waiting for us inside.. Debriefing will be held when base has been set.." Everyone started unpacking the cars and carrying in the stuff...

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am very glad you could join us so soon.." They were met by a tall, slender man in his late twenties. He had a young but tired face.. "I have a room as you requested, it's this way..." The man turned and walked down the corridor. Mai gazed at the man feeling slightly nostalgic when looking at his face.. "Right, here we are. I will let you set your base in peace and such.. If you'd like anything to eat just push this button here and order some food.." He said and pointing at the intercom system on the wall.. "And don't worry about making much noises, it is only me and my staff here and we sleep on the other side of the mansion.." Mai smiled but looked wondering at the man.. "Your family doesn't live here? No children?" The man smiled sadly at her and shook his head.. "I was never really the family father type.. It's just me and the staff.." Lin bowed and thanked the man and then went back to setting up base..

After about an hour of carrying stuff from the cars to base they were finally getting set. Mai and John were walking back with the last cables to base when Mai all of a sudden tripped and fell down.. "Ahh abunai Mai-san.. I think you better tie your shoelaces or you're just going to keep tripping over them.." John gazed at her with his young fatherly smile.. " Yeah yeah.. I know... You go on ahead John-san.. I'll be at base in a minute.." John smiled and nodded then started of to base...

[Mai POV]

Mai put down the cables and started tying her shoelaces.. "Moooouu.. I really need to get new laces... Or rather completely new shoes..." She said while inspecting them, noting several small holes. Mai suddenly felt an eerie presence behind her making her turn around.. 'No one there.. But I could swear I felt someone behind me just now..' "Hello? Is there anyone there?" Mai listened attentively for any kind of answer. Nothing.. 'Okey I think I'm going out of my mind...' She turned to tie her shoelaces and heard a faint giggle from a child. She looked up and saw a small child running down the corridor and rounded the corner.. Mai stood up and started jogging down the corridor.. "Hello? Little girl? Wait up!" She rounded the corner and was met by an empty hall.. 'That's strange. She was here just a second ago... But I thought the owner said it was just him and the staff..?' Mai started walking down the corridor, listening for sounds and keeping an eye after the small child..

She wandered the long eerie corridors but could not find any trace of the little girl.. "Well that was a total waste of time.. I guess I better get back..." She looked around trying to find something to tell her were she was.. 'Oh.. Dear.. God.. No...' She flurried around, starting to feel panicked.. "I am so very lost..." She started running down the corridors throwing her gaze down every corridor she passed.. "This place is a friggin' maze... How does the staff or even the owner find their way here?!" Yes the owner. Now that was a very peculiar figure.. There was something.. Almost familiar about him. Mai could feel it, she just couldn't tell why.. And the fact her had no family or even a significant other, it struck her as odd..

'Hmm.. maybe I can call the others and help them find me?' She started to search for her cellphone but couldn't find it.. "The hell?! I know I had it when I left the van earlier..." She started looking around when she suddenly heard something that made her blood go ice cold for reasons she did not know... "Neechan..." A faint child whisper behind her. Mai turned around slowly, feeling her heart beating so hard and fast it almost felt like it was going to beat out of her chest..
She saw a faint glow at the end of the corridor... 'Wasn't that door closed before?' She slowly made her way towards the door at the end of the corridor.. "Neechan..." Again she heard the heart-chilling child whisper.. 'Why do I feel so sad and heart broken when I hear that?' Faint giggling could be heard from the room.. Step by step she got closer and the whispering and giggling got slightly louder, She reached to door which was ajar and just as she touched the doorknob everything went silent.. She pushed the door open to reveal a spacy room..

She entered and looked around. There was a bed, side tables, a couch, a dressing table and a couple of closets.. She turned to the wall opposite of the bed and were met with her own reflection.. "Woooow.. That is one big mirror..." She looked awestruck at the wall which was completely covered by a mirror..
She went over to the mirror and gazed into it, staring at her own reflection.. She studied herself noting just how much she had change the last couple of years..
Since she had started working at SPR at the age of 15 it had been 4,5 years, she had put on a couple of inches so now she was a whopping 5'6".. She had abandoned her bob haircut from younger days, instead she had long, wavy chocolate brown hair. She had also filled out a little since her starting days at SPR.. She had been so busy with work and school, that she actually never noticed nor cared for it... Tap tap tap tap Mai flinched at the sound of footsteps..
'They sounded like they came from within the room..' Mai suddenly got that eerie feeling again but this time it was worse. It felt like she was not welcome here... 'Alright Mai.. It's time for you to get the hell out of here now...'

She stood up and was about to turn towards the door when she noticed something in her peripheral view. She turned towards it but saw nothing out of the ordinary... 'Hmm weird.. could have sworn I saw something...' She turned and glanced at the mirror. She was not alone...
Where she thought she had seen someone just now, stood a little girl in her early teens.. Mai stood frozen solid, there was something very terrifying about this little girl but she could not put her finger on it. The little girl giggled again.. "Who.. are you..? Are you here by yourself?" The little girl played with her hair and stared at Mais' reflection.. "I am always by myself and never by myself.. I am you..." "And You are me..." Mai was shocked at the words slipping out of her mouth.. Why had she said that. It made no sense..
She stared at the little girl.. 'I am you and you are me..?' Her gaze went from the girl to her own reflection and then back again. There was something nagging her in the back of her mind.. She looked closely at the girl and then back at her.. "What the..."'Now I know I'm dreaming. I must have fallen asleep while tying my shoes..' The eyes, the nose, the chin, the hair, the cheeks. Everything was a complete copy of herself ten years ago.. "Who exactly are you? And why are you here?" The girl giggled which turned in to laughter.. 'Such cold and dead laughter. It makes my bones chill..' "I am you.. and you are me... I am you and you are me!" She started saying it over and over, her face growing more grim and her brown eyes turning more red by the second.. Mai felt the whole room shake, looking around she saw books and such starting to rattle and fly out of place.. 'Mai concentrate!' "Naumaku Sanmanda Bazaradan Kan. Naumaku Sanmanda Bazaradan Kan." Mai kept chanting that mantra and the girls laughter just kept getting louder and louder.. "Naumaku Sanmanda Bazaradan Kan! Rin! Pyo! Tou! Sha! Kai! Jin! Retsu! Sai! Zen!" She opened her eyes at the last chant and everything went silent. There was no one but herself in the room.. "Maaii/Maaii-chan!" She turned towards the door and saw all of SPR coming through the door with Lin, Naru and Ayako in the top..

[Base POV]

John entered the room and put down the cables.. "Brown-san where did Mai go?" John turned towards Naru and pointed to the door.. "She's just tying her shoelaces, she should be just outside the door.. Lin glanced over at the door as Naru went and opened it.. "Mai I do not pay you to..." He looked outside the door.. "Are you sure she was just outside the door?" John nodded and went over to the door.. "She was just behind me, she kept tripping over her shoelaces.. So she was just gonna tie them.." Lin was getting a feeling something was off. He was watching the young boss and he could clearly see on his face that something was definitely not right.. "Naru... What is going on?" Ayako shot Naru a warning glare which did not go unnoticed for the stoic Chinese man.."I have my suspicion that we have not been hired for the reason our client said... I'm not even sure if the client is the one he says he is..."
Lin was feeling more impatient, so did his Shiki.. "What exactly do you mean?" Naru didn't say anything which cause Ayako to growl in frustration. The miko stomped to the desk with the case file and opened it.. "This is what he meant... Look at the first page. What do you see that doesn't fit.?!" Lin took the file and started reading it... "Taniyama Souza.. Naru. Why didn't you say anything?" Naru huffed and took the case file.. "I wanted to wait and observer.." Lin froze all of a sudden.. "Lin-san? Daijoubou?" Lin turned to the door.. "We have company.." His shiki were raging around him. Whatever was outside that door, had the intent to kill.. Naru went to the door and nodded to John, Lin and Bou-san to keep ready. He flung open the door and were met with nothing.. "It's moving down the hall.. Hurry..!" Lin said and ran out into the corridor..
A faint giggle could be heard echoing through the corridors.. "A child? Here?" Ayako said while running after the Chinese.. "I'm not so sure this is just a child..." The kept running until the came to a four-way junction. Lin looked down the corridors.. "Where should we go?" Naru looked around.. "This place is like a maze...""Shhh!" Lin interrupted the young boss..
Everyone listened intently for any sound and very faint talking could be heard heard down one of the corridors.. "This way!" Lin started running with Naru and Ayako right behind him..

The talking turned to yelling and mantra? "That's the Fudo myo chant! Mai's in trouble!" As they closed in on the open door at the end of the corridor the screaming became more prominent.. "Is that a child screaming?" Ayako asked but was interrupted by even louder screaming. "I am you and You are me! I AM YOU AND YOU ARE ME!""Naumaku Sanmanda Bazaradan Kan! Rin! Pyo! Tou! Sha! Kai! Jin! Retsu! Sai! Zen!" Everything went deadly silent.. "Maaii/Maaii-chan!" They were met by Mais' surprised face when they came rushing through the door. They all stopped and tried to catch their breath.. "Mai.. What is going on? Who was..." Naru couldn't ask anything else because he was interrupted by the same eerie child giggle as before. Mai traced the giggling sound and looked straight in the mirror..
What she saw rendered her speechless and petrified of fright.. Instead of her own reflection was the little girl, just that it wasn't a little girl anymore..
Her limbs had grown long and lanky, her entire body looked emaciated. Her face was filled with hate. Her hair, dirty and grimy, hanging limp on her head covering in her face and her eyes were bloodshot and glowing red. She looked like she had been dragged through mud, rocks and jagged edges..
And the worst part was that it was a spitting image of Mai just a couple of years younger.. "Oh my god!" Everyone stared at the girl in the mirror. The girl glanced hatefully at the group and the back at Mai.. "I am here to kill you!" Then she let out a ear-splitting shriek that made everyone fall to their knees. Mai fell backwards, covering her ears.. Lin watched the girl in the mirror, she had her eyes set on Mai. He then noticed the entire mirror was shaking... 'Oh no..'
"Get out of here now!" he screamed at the rest, he got up and ran over to Mai.. "MAAAAAI! LIIIIIN!" He picked her up and jumped behind the couch just as the mirror exploded in an earsplitting crash, sending shards everywhere...

Abunai = Watch out/Be careful
Neechan = Sister/Sis
Fudo myo = It's the name of the mantra that Bou-san taught Mai

Dun dun dun! The plot thickens..

What is this about the client being a Taniyama?
Who is this child in the mirror and why does she seem to look like Mai?
How will it go for Lin and Mai? Will they make it through the mirror crash?

Sooo here you have the latest chapter...
This was one of the hardest chapters to write so far.. It was very hard to begin..
It took me well over two hours to get the two first parts down..

Also as I mentioned at the start of this chapter; I am thinking about changing the title of this fanfic..
First it was meant to stop shortly after the party scene, but my brain wanted to elaborate the fanfic.._
So do you guys have any tips on a title? I want real and serious suggestions!

So please leave a comment and tell me what you think of it!=)
Until next time!
