I do not own Ghost hunt ^. ^

Mai's P.o.V

"Mai?"

I turned around and saw that I was alone. I walked through the forest, following the laughter I've been hearing for the past few minutes. I began to wonder where everyone else had gotten off to, it was like they had suddenly vanished. How had I gotten here?

"Mai?"

I turned around, the voice sounding like it was right behind me, "Who's there?"

The laughter began again, and I began to run towards it. The faster I went, the further away it got from me, but I wasn't going to give up.

"Mai, help me."

The voice didn't sound like it was in pain, it sounded so nonchalant almost as if it was bored. I slowed down, and felt the exhaustion kick in. How long had I been awake? How long had I been in the forest? I began to realize that I couldn't recall anything at all, and it was scaring me. I kept walking, looking for anyone, or anything.

"Mai-Chan…"

This voice was different, not the familiar one I had been hearing. This voice sounded younger, and eerie almost as if it was taunting me. I began to walk quicker, my gut telling me to get away from whatever was now calling my name.

"Found you."

I felt a small pair of hands grab my shoulder and push me. I began to fall and started screaming and the earth came closer to me.

NORMAL P.O.V

Oliver sat in his office looking at the file his father had sent him. It was a case, not too far from here, where a couple was being haunted. Not only them, but everyone in their apartment complex. The details were shady, and he really didn't want to take it, but his father was pushing hard on it. Oliver set the file down and sighed.

"Mai, tea."

There was no reply, which aggravated Oliver, what could she be up to, "Mai, I said tea.."

Still nothing. He stood up and walked out the door, rolling his eyes at the sight of his assistant sleeping at her desk. He walked over and placed his hand on her back, rubbing it slightly, wondering if he should wake her. She was just too precious when she slept. At that thought he retracted his hand and mentally slapped himself, what in the hell was wrong with him.

"Mai, wake up. I do not pay you to sleep."

Mai didn't stir, which annoyed Oliver to no end. He placed his hand on her shoulder and began shaking her. He jumped, startled as Mai began to scream, grasping at his hand, then managed to fall from her chair, knocking him down in the process. Oliver looked at Mai, trying not to be as angry as he wanted to be.

"Mai, get off of me. Now."

Mai jumped up and looked around with a panicked look in her eyes, before resting them on Oliver, "Naru! I was… Where have you….. I'm in the office?"

"Thank you for stating the obvious Mai. Now if you are done playing around, I need tea. Then I want you to call the others, I have a case, and we will be leaving tonight if possible."

Oliver watched as he saw Mai try to put something together in her head, "Mai did you hear me?"

"I had a dream."

"And you're just now telling me this?" he asked annoyed with the girls empty mindlessness.

Mai smirked at him, "Mai, tea." She said in a low voice, then walked to the kitchen laughing.

"This case isn't something I would normally do, but it is a special request." Oliver stated to his team, "Though we aren't able to have Father Brown, Ms. Hara, or Yasu, I still expect us to run functionally. We are traveling to Osaka, and trying to be there as soon as possible."

"Did you say Osaka!?" Mai asked, "What part?!"

"Mai, you should really allow others to finish what they are saying before you interrupt, and you will see when you get there."

Mai crossed her arms and pouted, "Do you want to hear about my dream?"

"Yes Mai."

Her smile brightened, "Okay so I was in this forest…..I know what part."

Oliver glared at the girl, "Mai, we don't have time for games."

Mai was staring at the floor, "I know where we are going..." she whispered.

"Mai, what's wrong?" Ayako asked leaning into the girl.

"The forest from my dream, is one that was near my old house. I know exactly where we are going."

Tension filled the room as everyone realized what she meant, but Oliver wasn't going to allow that to stop their progress, "Mai, tell us about your dream."

"It was weird, I was walking through the woods of my house, and at first I didn't even know it was a dream because I didn't see… anyways I was following laughter and a familiar voice. Then I heard this child. But she sounded creepy, not like you would expect a child to. I was pushed down into this ditch, and that's when I woke up."

"That is strange." Bou-san said placing his hand in his chin, "What could it mean?"

"What didn't you see Mai?" Ayako asked standing from the couch and walking over to where her purse was sitting, "You said you didn't know it was a dream because you didn't see what?"

"Oh." Mai said trying to quickly come up with something, "Uh ... Well you see when I dream I always see…uh… this light. But this time I didn't."

"A light?"

"Yea, a bright light. So I thought I was awake, and that's why I was so confused when Naru woke me up."

"If you two are finished," Oliver said trying to steer the conversation away from a topic he did NOT want to discuss, "We need to be leaving. Now."

Mai jumped up, happy to get away from Ayako who was giving her suspicious stares, "Alright let's head on out then. Time to go back home."

Monk placed his hand on her shoulder, "That's the spirit Mai."

MAI'S P.o.V

"Mai-chan. Get ready, I'm it."

I looked up to the sky as rain began to pour down, "I don't want to play! It's raining."

"You have no choice. Mai-Chan go and hide, but I'll be sure to find you. All of you will play with me, and I'll find you one by one. It'll be so much fun. I'll find all of your friends, then you will be last. Mai-Chan, Mai-chan. I love that you play."

I placed my hand over my ears, "No! I don't want to play! I want to go home!"

"Oh you're coming home Mai-chan. Home to play with me."

I stood up and started to run, but even though I was going as fast as I could, I wasn't moving, "Leave me alone!"

"You're not very good at this game. You have to get better."

I felt the ground give out on me and I began to fall into a black abysses. I looked up and saw Ayako and Bou-san walking in the woods, calling out my name.

"Found them…"

I screamed as I watched blood pour from their eyes, nose, and mouth. The next scene was of Lin sitting in a room alone. The room look so familiar, but I was far too scared to try and think.

"He hides a little bit better."

"Leave them alone!"

I closed my eyes, but still saw the image of Lin coughing up blood, then a knife decapitating him. I started screaming, tears pouring. I was still falling.

"He was the most fun to find."

I opened my eyes to the sight of Naru running through the woods, as if he was searching for something. I began to shake my head, mentally begging her to not hurt him. I watched as a hand turned him around. His eyes went to relief, then to panic as the hand stabbed him repeatedly in the stomach. I tried to scream, but I wasn't able to, I felt as if I was in shock.

"Bye bye Mai-chan. You have better learn to play."

I felt myself fall and fall for ages, when I suddenly landed in something soft. I looked up into the soft blue eyes, so alike, yet so different than the ones I was used to seeing.

"Gene?"

"Mai… I'm so sorry I wasn't there."
