Hey! This is the next chapter, I'm sorry if the writing seems different. My sister is usually the one who types these up, but she's at work and we wanted to post a chapter anyway. It would have been up a while ago but I had to help our dad with a bit of work too... so, sorry for the delay, and i hope you enjoy! ~DISCLAIMER~ we sadly do not own ghost hunt or it's characters (T.T)

Chapter 4

Having Fun?

"What the hell? I just got here, why am I already experiencing things…" Ayako complained to herself. "It is really weird… ghosts usually hold off a day or so when new people show up." Monk replied to her muttering.

"Well maybe the ghost just doesn't like you? Or thinks you're in the way of getting to know Bou-san more… personally." Gasp. "I'm next! My sweet monk, protect me!" Yasu said while attempting to hug monk. "Aaaugh, get off you creep!" Monk hollered, trying to hide behind Ayako. "Save me!"

"We should get to base before Naru loses it guys." Mai added in an attempt to quell the scene in front of her before too many more people noticed.

At base, Naru, Lin, Masako and John weren't getting the warmest greeting. "For the last time, I ain't gonna let no little prankster brats into the security room." Said the head of security with finality.

"I will tell you for the final time as well, I am Kazuya Shibuya, and this is a section of my team of paranormal investigators that your boss employed. I can assure you we are neither pranksters, nor brats. We are to set up our base of operations here." Naru's tone was cold enough to freeze hell if given a chance. "He said he was hiring professionals, not a ragtag team of children." The security man said, feeling the ice coming from Naru's words. Though he'd never admit it, that was the first time on his job he felt legitimate fear. "You know what? Fine. Set up your little base, I'm gonna go talk to the boss and see if you're telling the truth, and if you ain't, you're gonna be sorry. Real sorry." The man attempted to threaten. "I was afraid we would never get in. Weren't you, Naru?" Masako said stepping closer to Naru. "No, I knew I would convince him sooner or later. Some idiots just take longer than others." Naru's voice devoid of all emotion again. Just then Mai, Monk, Ayako, and Yasu came walking up. "Speaking of idiots, Mai, tea."

"WHAT?! I just get here and I'm already being insulted… Jeez you narcissistic, tea-addicted, jerk." Mai muttered.

"You could try being a bit more original once in a while, Mai." Naru nonchalantly added as he started into the security office to exam his camera angles and placements.

"UGH! I can't win!" Mai uttered in defeat as she left to go make tea. "It's about time you realized it. Take John with you." Naru smirked and began focusing on his work.

"Let's go Mai." John said quickly to diffuse the rage that would spell out another rant from Mai.

Mai and John returned a few minutes later with tea for everyone. "Now that we're all here, we should start with temperature readings, a walkthrough, and get everything placed in the rooms we will be staying in." Naru stated looking through files. "Mai and Takigawa, Temperatures. Masako and John, do a walkthrough. Yasu and Ayako, you get all our luggage into our assigned rooms."

"Why do I have to do the heavy lifting?" Ayako whined as Yasu dragged her out of the room with a huge grin. Once they were outside of base Ayako got a glimpse of his face. "What are you grinning like that for? What's going on?" Ayako suspiciously asked. "Well, this means we get to choose where the luggage goes, right?" He said with an evil look.

"Oh you're not serious? No way?! This will be fun. This is what Naru gets for having me do the dirty work!" Ayako readily agreed. They went to retrieve the bags.

Meanwhile Monk and Mai had begun their temperature readings. "Why do we always have to do this…" Mai complained. "I don't know, it's annoying but easy. Maybe our little narcissist wants to take it easy on us." Monk said staring at a thermometer. "78 degrees" Mai recorded the temperature while saying, "I doubt that, he seems to be dead set on ridiculing and making me feel as stupid as possible." "Awww, my little Mai can't see it." "See what?" "Oh nothing. I'm sure you'll find out sooner or later. So how big is your crush on Naru?" Monk casually added as if it were any other question.

"What?! I SO DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM!" Mai practically screeched. Well, not that I'm going to admit, even if it is Monk. Mai thought while her face turned a bright pink.

"Really? Then why is your face changing colors?" Monk teased.

Her face went from pink to red. "It is not!" Mai countered.

"Oh yes it is. It's almost as red and the old hag's hair!" He snickered.

Red to crimson. "What?! You're lying!" she squeaked. "Nope, and now it's actually darker than her hair."

Crimson to so dark, it's almost purple. "LIAR!" Mai yelled. "How do you do that? Is that even natural?" Monk asked. "Shut up! We finished the readings so I'm going back!" Mai said quickly turning around so he couldn't see her face and striding towards base. "Aww, c'mon Mai, I was just teasing!" Monk said following her.

"Finally, it's all here…" Ayako said breathless and staring at a large pile of luggage. "who knew that Masako took this much with her?"

"You took almost as much as she did." Yasu reminded her. "Well, so? I'm an adult, I need more, what of it?" Ayako challenged.

"oh nothing, but here's where the fun begins." Yasu darkly stated. "Okay, you take Naru's bags and I'll take my beloved Monk's."

"Yasu, what are you thinking? No, nevermind. I don't want to know." Ayako said grabbing a bag. "so what do we do with these?"

"Hmmm, put his in the girls' room. Make one obvious but hide the rest. I'm going to hide all of Monk's in the guys' room. Oh, and leave one of Naru's, it can go in the guys' room to throw him off" Yasu chuckled.

They then began hiding luggage. Naru's largest bag, of presumably clothes, got put in the space Mai's usually went. While his smaller bag, files and the such, got put in the corner of the guys' room as per usual. Naru's bag that he uses to carry books was hidden under a bed in the girls' room. Mai's bed to be exact, the two perpetrators found this ironic and hilarious. Monk's two bags were hidden in separate areas, one in a drawer of an armoire much like those found in hotels, the other next to John's bed. John's bag was tucked away in the shower, while one of Masako's seven bags cushioned it. The smallest of Masako's bags, contents unknown, was put behind the toilet in the girls' room while her other four were hidden under beds, behind counters, and one was even in the fridge. Leaving one to be put right next to her bed like usual. Mai's two bags were separated into the two rooms. The smaller being put into the microwave of the girls' room and the larger placed next to Naru's bed. Lin only had one small suitcase and it was left alone for fear of curses.

The two of course, did nothing wrong with their luggage. They knew everyone would know who did it, although Yasu suggested blaming it on the ghosts, but Ayako shot that one down soundly by reminding him that the ghost didn't move objects, it just messes with people. Consequently, after saying that, Ayako felt like she was being watched.

"Yasu, we should go back to base now. I get this creepy feeling that I'm being stared at…"

"Alright, but no letting on that we did this okay?" Yasu ordered.

"Fine, no problem, just so you can keep your big mouth shut." Ayako retorted.

As they head back towards base, Ayako thinks of the aquarium. It would be nice to go see. Maybe I'll have the stupid monk go with me there.

Masako and John are just finishing up their walkthrough and are near base. "So, Masako, did you feel anything?" John innocently inquired.

"There is a man. He is… angry, but that's all I can tell for now." Masako whispered behind her sleeve.

John being the kind man he is held the base door open for Masako when they arrived earning him a quiet, kimono-hidden "thank you" to which he replied, "No problem, mate."

As quickly as the sweet silence that had overcome the base started, it ended as everyone came filing back in around the same time. Much to Naru's disdain, he had gotten used to, and fond of the quiet of everyone's absence. A red-faced Mai handed Naru a clipboard while Monk snickered behind her. Naru brushed it off as the usual antics and simply said, "Mai, tea." Mai scampered off with out a word, much to Naru's confusion. She would usually say something like "jerk" or "narcissist" I wonder what's going on. His thoughts were interrupted though by Ayako, Yasu, John and Masako all entering at the same time. He was about to ask what they found when two voices spoke at the same time.

"I felt something"
