Ello everyone. ^_^ Wow 6 reviews that was quick. lol. Well anyway I'm so sorry about the spacing problem in chapter 1. I don't know why it is doing that. I have gone back and fixed it about ten times but for some reason it will not save the corrections. I promise to make sure that I fix the problem before I post the chapter next time. Anyway...here is the next chapter. I hope you like it. Again this story has more than one author. So yeah. I'm the author of this chapter. Sorry if it is not as good as the first *runs away just to be safe*. But, I think I did a pretty good job on this chapter so yeah. Yes, this chapter is shorter than the first but the chapters do get longer as they go on. I had to torture 120 hehe. So yeah. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I did work hard on it.

WARNING: We need 10 REVIEWS before the next chapter update. We have seven now so that is only 3 more to go. ^_^ Again have to make sure you are reading the story.
P.S. We do not own any of the original characters or the title Ghost Hunt. That all belongs to the original author.
Everyone froze as if time had stopped. Aya-chan stood and grabbed onto Monk-san for support.
"Lin, go to the base and see what the temperature is in this room," said Naru in agitated voice. "John go with him, just to be safe."
Lin and John hurried off to the base. Everyone sat there in complete silence. The air in the room became heavy and cold. Monk-san quickly got into position in case a spirit showed up. Aya-chan quickly stood up and ran behind Monk-san. She gripped his shirt in fear. She knew what was happening to her but she didn't want Monk-san to worry. Just as everyone only became to hear their own breathing Naru cell phone rang. Everyone jumped. Naru flipped opened his phone in a very calm matter.
"Hello" Naru said in his normal confident voice.
"Naru the temperature is dropping quickly in there. Get everyone out now!"
"No, we will wait to see what happens. Mon-san is with us so we will be fine."
"Naru we have a young lady in there who is not use to this sort of situation. You cannot make everyone stay in there. It is not safe. The temperature is continuing to drop as we speak."
"Lin, the temperature is starting to rise!"
"Are you serious John?"
"Come look for yourself. This is the quickest I have seen any temperature rise."
"Oh my god, Naru get everyone out of there and come to the base now. We don't need something like last time happening again."
With that said, Naru closed the phone and put it away. Everyone just stared wondering what news Naru had just received.
"Everyone back to base, there is nothing more to see here."
"Wait what did Lin say? What is happening?" asked Monk-san.
"I will explain everything at the base. Now Mai Ms. Matsuzaki and Ms. Hara will be here soon. So I would like you to wait at the front of the station. Here is an extra cell phone in case anything happens and you need help."
Mai took the phone from Naru. She nodded and started on her way to the front of the station to wait for the rest of the team. She had nothing better to do so she decided to look at the phone Naru gave her. It was a Motorola Razor. It was black and when she opened it the keys were white. She started looking through the phone only to find that either Naru or Lin had updated the phone to be somewhat compatible with the technology they had at the base. She started going through the address book to find that all the team members numbers was in the phone. But there was this one particular number she didn't recognize. Just as she was about to dial it Masako and Ayako showed up. Mai not paying any attention to her surroundings jumped when Ayako put her hand on her shoulder to get her attention.
"Calm down Mai it is only me."
"Ayako, thank goodness it was you. When did you and Masako get here?"
"A few minutes ago. Where is the rest of team?"
"Oh, they are at the base. Monk-san friend is with us as well" Mai said smiling.
"Hi, Masako. How have you been doing?"
"Where is Naru? I need to speak with him.
"Thanks for answering my question your royal highness" thought Mai to herself as Masako began to walk into the station. "I know I'm invisible to you, but you could at least respond to me. I mean is that hard to not be a huge butt?! Oh wait we are talking about Masako."
"He is at the base with everyone else. Come on they are probably waiting for us" Mai replied with a smile.
Mai and Ayako began to follow after Masako. Silence took over as the started walking towards the base. As they walked Mai started to hear noises and began to become uncomfortable. So she decided to start a conversation to get her mind off of what could be going on around her.
"Did Naru or Lin already tell you what the case was about?" Masako and Ayako shook their head yes in response to her question and continued with not speaking. "There has already been an accident. Well really there has been two."
This was when it caught Ayako's attention. She froze in her tracks and began to stare at Mai. Mai stopped and looked behind her to see if something was behind her. When she realized that there was nothing there she figured out that Ayako must have been staring at her for what she said. Masako on the other hand kept walking minding her own business as if the world was all about her. Well at least that is what Mai thought and believed she acted like sometimes. Especially when it came to her partnering and asking for Naru. Sometimes she just wished she could slap the girl silly and give her a piece of her mind. But, Mai knew she had no right to do that. So her attention went straight back to Ayako who has no shifting her body weight to her left side indicating that she was waiting for Mai to tell her what happened.
Mai gave a big sigh and started walking again and Ayako walking on her right side. Mai began to explain what had happened until they had arrived and right when they finished they had reached the base. They each walked in right after another. Of course Ayako was last. Everyone knew that the famous line was coming up in a matter of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
"This is obviously the work of an Earth spirit."
Everyone sighed and looked at Naru waiting for instructions.
"Mrs. Hara have you sensed any spirits sense you have come here?"
"Geez Naru you are all work" thought Mai to herself as they entered the room. "Of course he asks her that. Who am I kidding, he would never be interested in me. Heck, for all I know he is only keeping me on this job since he suspected and found out about my so call powers. I'm just a tool to him. He really must like Masako, I mean he has taken her out to dinner, movie, pretty much anywhere she wanted to go with him. That's right and she always runs to him when she is hurt. Not to mention he always believes what she says. Plus, he accepts everything from her and he treats her with respect, unlike me. Wait…but he has always run to my rescue, he has believed me once or twice, he does listen even though I am so stupid when it comes to stuff like this, and…listen to me I'm trying to get my hopes up. NO! Masako is beautiful, closer to his age, smart, and has a really useful power. He would never even consider me." Mai finally became tired of battling with herself of Naru. She knew from the beginning that she didn't have a chance. (Or did she??)
Her mind finally allowed her to listen to the conversation, though she was really quiet during the whole thing. Even when the so called "women" were fighting she remained quiet. Naru always paying attention to his surroundings notice this and decided it was time to tell everyone what to do.
"So Ms. Hara your answer please" Naru said starting to become impatient.
"Yes, that is why I came to you so quickly there are many spirits here and some are screaming in pain and sorrow. Yet there are some who are calm or just confused. I can't tell from which spirit the problem is coming from. But I do know that not all the spirits are involved in this case. In other words what I am trying to say is…" she was cut off by Naru hand that went up to silence her.
"What you are saying is that some of these spirits are not doing this of their own free will and some think that it is the only thing they can do cause they are so confused."
"Yes, that is what I am trying so say."
"Well, then we better start getting to work. The sooner we find the main problem the sooner this case will be over. Ms. Hara and Takigawa you partner up and start walking around to see if you can find anything that will help. Matsuzaki and John will partner up and I want you to go in the opposite direction of Ms. Hara and Takigawa. Now, Yasuhara and Lin start setting up the equipment and taking notes. Mai you will come with me. Ms. Aya-chan I suggest you go home. Now that everyone knows what to do please leave. Mai come."
"Um, Mr. Shibuya, I don't think…" Aya-chan started to say but was cut off by their good friend Takigawa.
"Naru, she is already involved with the case and we don't really know what we are dealing with" stated Takigawa. "I would never forgive myself if a spirit followed her to her home and did something. Please let her stay."
"Fine, but she is your responsibility. Am I clear on that?"
"Yes."
"Good, now Aya-chan since you will be staying with us please work with Lin and Yasuhara. You will be safe here."
Everyone left to do as they were told. Mai on the other hand went into a daze. She couldn't figure out why she partnered with Naru. She was walking in complete silence which was starting to irritate Naru. He turned and grabbed Mai by the shoulders and turned her around to face him. Her light brown eyes went into shock. Her body all of a sudden felt weight less while shivers went down her whole body just by his touch. He obviously notices this and grinned at her.
Well that is the end of that chapter. I hoped you enjoyed it. Please tell me if you did. Remember we need 10 REVIEWS before the next chapter update. bye-bye for now. ^_^
