I DONT OWN GHOST HUNT

Chapter 1

Alone. I was always alone ever since I was a child and not once did I ever cry. I remember the times when I walked down the street and passed by my reflection with eyes that held so much sadness. I was nothing but an emotionless doll that just walked around town, that was until I met her. She became my best friend and she was also the person that helped my get my emotions back slowly. I don't remember there was ever a time or day when we weren't with each other. We had lots of things in common, the only thing different about us was that she was rich and I wasn't. I remember when she always told me about these ghost that haunted her house and how their after her.

I didn't believe her until one day she was brutally killed in front of my eyes, I still can't never forget that day. Some unknown force swung her around and I remember clearly as she was impaled each time as she hit each wall. It wasn't till that day I started believe in ghost and it wasn't till that day I lost my best friend, Misoka Kato.

Present

My hands were clasped together as I prayed in front of a grave stone, wishing my friend was doing well in heaven, My friends from long ago… the memories webbed together still linger in my mind… never leaving, staying there like a broken watch, reminding me of my mistake I made many years ago.

I wonder how many nights have passed since that day. How many hours of sleep have I gotten as those dreams haunt me day and night. A never ending cycle as I break apart piece by piece everyday. I always wondered how much longer I'll last before I end up going crazy in this wretched world ever since that day my life changed.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a few birds chirping above me, then I noticed the sun directly above me. I looked towards the time on my cell phone I pulled out, then I swore loudly. 'damn I'm late again! Argh,,, 4 hours late too damn… Naru's going to kill me'.

I quickly gathered everything, and bowed one last time before dashing through the cemetery. I didn't stop running till I got the office doors and slammed them open, yelling "Sorry I'm late!".

Of course, being the jerk he always is, yelled at me to go get his tea! I mean cant he give me a break before he wants his, apparently, highly addictive tea? With a whispering sigh, I slowly made my away to the mini kitchen and put the kettle over the stove. As I waited for it to warm up I heard the front door open, so then I slowly made my way out to greet whoever it is. I first eyed the man for a mere few seconds, before I lead him to the waiting room.

"Hello, I'm Taniyama Mai. I'm an assistant that works for Kazuya Shibuya, please follow me as I go get my boss", then I slowly lead him to another room where he waited patiently.

He was a man that was at least in his mid 50's or 60's considering all those wrinkles. He wore a black hat along with a matching black suit that fit perfectly around his oval shaped stomach. He had a big smile, which kind of made me nervous. It didn't seem like anything was wrong, but deep inside I knew he was in turmoil.

I slowly approached Naru's door, and knocked gently before poking my head in, "hey~ there's an costumer here for you". When I finished my little announcement, I slowly made my way to Lin's office, once again I knocked gently and entered. "Lin-san, we have a client".

He nodded and gathered his things before coming out of his office. We both walked down the hall in a comfortable silence, as we walked past Naru's office he came out behind us. I ditched the both of them and went to the kitchen to make some tea for the four of us, including the client. When I entered the waiting room, the old client had a serious look on his face. He was no longer smiling as he was in the middle of explaining for the paranormal activity.

"Oh, sorry for the interruption. Would you like some tea before you continue?", I'm very polite now, considering I was twenty years old now.

The client slowly nodded before I handed the tea to each individual in the room, then I took my seat next to Naru. I didn't know that Lin had left the room till he re-entered the room with a notepad. I have him a questioning look, and he understood my thoughts.

"My laptop wasn't working properly at the moment so I went to get a notepad from my office", he answered smoothly.

I nodded an affirmative of understanding before he took a seat next me. I couldn't help but blush as his arms and hips touched the side of mine for a while, I don't know when or how… but I somehow ended up falling in love with Lin after Naru shattered my heart. After I got over Naru, it wasn't till then I started to noticed the tall quiet man, we never talked but the silence was comfortable. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and dismissed the unfocused behaviour when the old client started to talk again.

"Ms. Taniyama, I'm Hakuto Miatao. It's a please to meet you", he introduced but quickly getting back to topic. "Anyways, as I was saying… The house I'm currently living in for the past two years had some odd things going on. So, far every girl arounf the age of five to twenty that lived or came to visit have died be stabbed several time with… objects".

"How do you know it's paranormal?", questioned Naru. "Are you sure, it isn't someone in the house hold doing this?"

I gave Naru a threatening glare for being so rude, but he just glanced at me and brushed it off like it was no big deal. Oh, how I wanted to punch that pretty petty face of his! Then he has nothing to be Narcissistic about… then again what's the point in having that nickname?

I slowly snapped out of my turmoil thoughts as Mr. Miatao started to speak again in a shaky voice.

"well… we thought so at first also, but there was no evidence that they died by some one killing in the house, considering it always happened when we aren't at home. I thought it was someone but there was one time when we were all gathered and saw what happened. I don't mean as a vision or dreams, but there was a few times I had dinner parties held, and everyone in the house hold was gathered. While we were eating, some of the girls at the table would be sent flying across the room and out all over the house, while getting impaled by objects that was around the house. So far I have witnessed seven death and I wish to see no more, please I beg of you, help us. I'm afraid the next person that it'll target is my grand daughter", the old man slowly broke down in tears as Naru and Lin did their mind connection thingy and decide weather to take the case or not.

They both turned to look at me as I simply stared back, knowing what their going to say.

"Mai, you have to stay behin-", Naru never gotten to finish that sentence as I gave him an icy cold glare that over powered his. Somehow after the rejection, I learnt how to deal with his stupid glaring contest.

"Naru, if you think I'm going to staying behind like a good little child, then think again. You know what I'll do to get the location of the case that is taken place, don't you remember?", I said coldly.

Mr. Miatao just looked around confused and asked, "What do you mean young lady? Wouldn't it be better if you stayed behind?"

"No, I think it's better if I came along. I can help with the case greatly, and I am a strong girl so there is not a thing to worry about", I replied simply.

"But-" "there is no pint in making her to stay, Mr. Miatao", interrupted Lin. "in the last case that we got, it seemed to be dangerous, so we secretly took the case and left her behind. When she found out, she was furious and went as far as threatening another co-worker into telling her where the location of the case was being held. There isn't a way to keep this girl out of trouble".

With that Lin left the room, but I couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed. I knew that my selfishness must have pissed him or made him annoyed, but I don't want to be left behind.

Naru slowly stood up and announced to Mr. Miatao that we'll be taking the cause a asked of him to prepare a few room because we'll be there by tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Miatao left his address when I asked of him to, and after he left I started to clean up. I couldn't help but feel a little saddened that Lin might have been disappointed in me for being so selfish, but I simply just didn't want to be alone again… like I was in the past. I hated being alone, so I would do anything not to be even if it meant to be selfish, but I could never tell them this reason.

I think each chapter will be at lease three pages long... i dont like to write too much for a chapter for some reason...
Some chapters will at least be five to six pages long... but... it depends on how i feel..
so the average is always three pages, sorry if its too short for some of you guys

Anyways i hope you enjoyed this chapter
and please wait for a while before the next one comes out
i have to deal with exams at the moment, but i hope you look forward to it
