Disclamer: I don't own any of the Ghost Hunt Characters only Avalon and Elion.

Dear Diary,

It's me again Mai Taniyama today was my graduation from college and I was valedictorian of my class! For all of those stupid jokes that Naru used to make, he never realized just how smart I really was. I graduated with a major in Parapsychology and a minor in religious studies; I am on the bus, on my way to my home to meet up my friends Avalon and Elion to celebrate. Although I am happy for the fact that I have graduated I am also sad, because today marks the three year anniversary of when I left SPR behind. I still remember that day…

*Flashback*

Mai ran down to the edge of the lake when she received the news that they had found Gene's body. Standing at the edge was Naru identifying the body of his dead twin, she stood there watching in silence as they carried the body away and Naru stood there for the first time since she had known him showing the pain that he had carried on him through the ordeal. Her breath was taken away at the sight and she did not wish to bother him in such a vulnerable moment, but she couldn't help it she approached him in silence laying her small hand on his shoulder for comfort, but the moment she did he tensed and all the emotions were gone leaving behind the cold mask he so often wore.

Naru turned to her with a deathly glare "What are you doing here? I told everyone to stay put wasn't I clear?" he said coldly to the other.

Mai flinched at his tone but did not back down "I know Naru, but when they told me that they found Gene's body….I wanted to say one last goodbye" she said her voice laced with the sorrow of losing one of her best friends. Even though she only saw Gene in her dreams they had gotten to know each other during their time together. She could still tell that Naru was still angry at her for not telling him that she saw Gene in her dreams, but she hadn't because she had promised Gene that she wouldn't until he wanted her too.

"Well you saw him now you can leave, before you do, tell the others that they will all be receiving their last paycheck in the mail. Lin and I will be leaving for England first thing in the morning and SPR will be shut down" he said indifferently to her obvious show of pain.

"What!?" she said "What do you mean SPR will be shut down!?" she said in shock not wanting to accept what he was implying at that moment. She didn't want to believe that the love of her life was leaving and may never come back. She could hear he already fragile heart slowly breaking. She didn't want for him to leave so she said the only thing that came to mind hoping it would be enough to make him stay with her in Japan. "I love you Naru" she said reaching out for him and holding on to his arm.

Naru tensed when he heard her word and was suddenly filled with inexplicable rage ~now that she can't have Gene, she replaces him with me~ he thought as he ripped his arm from her knocking her to the ground "Do you love me or Gene?" he asked glaring at her with all the anger he held in his heart.

Mai looked up at him with a mixture of shock, hurt, and anger not believing what he had said to her. Not believing just how cruel he was being to her. She got up from the ground walking up to him with her hair over her eyes so he could not see her emotions. She raised her hand and with a swift motion she made contact with his face with a resounding "smack". She turned on her heels and ran back the way she came…

*Flashback ends*

After that I ran to my cabin packed everything before anyone noticed and left without telling anyone where I was going. I was dead set on leaving Naru before he left me, so I went to the nearest train station and took a train to the farthest place possible Hokkaido. It was in the train station at Hokkaido where I met Avalon and Elion….

*Flashback*

"Stupid, stupid, stupid Mai…..who do you know out here!?" she said scolding herself. Now that her anger had subsided she realized exactly what she had done "no one knows you're here!" she said rustling her hair in frustration. She had no idea what she should do now, even though every fiber in her told her to return, but her stubbornness and pride would not allow it. She knew that she should at least try and contact someone, but she didn't want them to come and pick her up so she sat in her bench with her shoulder slumped not really sure what to do next "Maybe Naru was right…..I am an idiot"

"You aren't and idiot, it's understandable why you ran away" a female said beside her.

Mai whipped around to see who was talking to her only to come face to face with a young woman with short midnight blue hair and silver eyes who stood at 5'5. She was dressed in a black form fit shirt and ripped jeans with a pair of black and red high top converse. She was shocked that the other seemed to know what was wrong with her "h-how did you know?" she said shock clear in her voice.

"Oh Avalon you are scaring the poor girl" another female said coming out from behind the other. She also stood at 5'5 with golden blond hair and the sky blue eyes. She was wearing a white sundress that hugged her curves and flared out at the bottom and white sandals. "Sorry my friend is just very good at reading people I guess you can say" she said soothingly which helped Mai calm down "so why are you here alone sweetie?" the female asked her with a smile.

"Yeah really good, it is almost as though she was psychic" She jokingly, only to noticed the look of worry that crossed both girls "Wait….she is Psychic? Don't worry I don't think you are weird I am a latent psychic" she said watching relief wash over them "and the way I ended up here is well I told the person I loved, that I loved him, and he asked me if I loved him or his dead twin brother….so in my anger I packed my things without telling anyone and left getting on the first train and well ended up here" she said telling them her sad story.

"Did you love him?" The one named Avalon asked her looking into her brown eye with not sarcasm as Mai thought she would see, but with an understanding that actually made her question her feelings. It was at that moment that she realized that, the other was right for questioning her, because it was then she realized that she did love Naru, but not as a lover, but as a brother. "Think Mai, why did you really run away? Was it because you couldn't bear him? Were you using him as a proxy for someone else?" Avalon asked the young girl.

"A proxy for somebody else?" Mai said more to herself than to the others. For a moment she lost herself in thought actually thinking about the questioned asked. After a couple of minutes in silence Mai realized the other was right, she was using Naru as a proxy for someone else and that other person was none other than Lin.

After she had told him how she could not stand that he hated her for being Japanese, they began to grow closer. While everyone thought that Lin could still not stand her for the accident she had caused all those years ago, the truth was that they talked to each other often and that they even went out for lunch together from time to time. She realized that the one she truly didn't want to leave was Lin, because she would never see him again. Her shoulders slumped as it dawned at her that it was too late to change anything "I did use him as a proxy…..and now it's too late for me to do anything" she said down-heartedly.

The other female came around and brought her into a comforting hug "Fate is a funny thing hun, so never say it's too late you may meet him again someday" she said soothingly petting her hair. "You know you look like you need some time away, why don't you come and live with us, and got to college with us" she said holding the girl out at arm's length with a bright smile.

"College!? But I am still in high school! I haven't even graduated yet!" Mai exclaimed looking at the two like they were crazy

Avalon laughed "don't worry as you pointed out we are psychic, you see I can read people's minds and emotions, but I can also alter their memories and Elion over here can heal anything wound both internal and external, and she can make everyone believe what she says to the point that they will not look into it" The other girl said with a shrug.

"So you see everything will be great!" the one named Elion exclaimed "so what do you say? You live with us?" she said looking at the other hopefully.

Mai didn't know why, but her instinct said to trust them so she did "Alright, maybe it will do me good to be away from everyone for a while" she said with a smile as they all got up hailed down a cab and left the station together.

*flashback ends*

I was happy for meeting them; because of them I realized my feelings. Low and behold that is exactly what happened and three years later we all graduated. Avalon with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Chinese. Elion with a degree in Medicine and a minor in biochemistry. Throughout our time together we discovered more of our abilities all thanks to the shrine down the street from our school…

*Flashback*

It has been two months since Mai had moved in with Avalon and Elion and she had to admit that she was actually really happy. A part of her felt bad for leaving everyone without a word, but she felt it was needed, she just hoped they would all forgive her someday. She was waiting in front of the school gates for Avalon and Elion when a man dressed in traditional Shinto clothing gave her a paper and left without a word. All the paper said was to go to a nearby shrine. She found it odd, but decided that she wanted to check it out.

"Mai…Mai…MAI!" Avalon yelled waiving her hand in front of her young friends face seeing that the other was spacing out with a paper in her hand.

Elion shook the girls' shoulder lightly hoping to get her to snap out of her daze "Mai is everything alright?" she asked worriedly. Although the other tended to space out it was never to this extent.

Mai snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the other call out for her and felt someone shake her lightly "huh?" she asked unintelligibly "Oh hey guys I was waiting for you guys!" she said and held up the paper to them "This Shinto priest gave me this paper saying to go the shrine, it just down the street can we go pleeeeeease!" she begged with her best kicked puppy look.

Avalon raised an eyebrow at the other "So let me get this straight you want to go to the shrine of a man who just so happened to hand you a paper, that said to go there, and didn't bother to give you any other information?" she asked skeptically.

Mai pouted knowing all too well the tone that Avalon had taken with her. It was one she often took with Elion any time she wanted to do something reckless, but her instinct were telling her to go so she was not going to back down "Awww come one Avalon let's just go, my instincts are screaming at me to go there and they have never been wrong before!" she said matter-of-factly. The truth was that in the last few months her powers have been growing and her instincts have become more and more spot on about things.

Avalon shook her head "I don't know Mai, I mean I know your instinct say to go, but this all just seems all too sudden you know?" she reasoned with the other.

Elion decided to interceded hugging Avalon arm with a pout "oh come on Ava live a little can we go please, it will only be for a little bit I promise" Elion practically begged the other with her best puppy dog eyes.

Mai smirked knowing very well that they were going to the shrine; because of all the people in the world the only person Avalon could not say no too was Elion. She watched as annoyance, uncertainty and finally defeat flickered through Avalon's eyes, before she made her decision.

Avalon hung her head with a heavy sigh "Fine we can go, but the moment something goes wrong we are getting out of there do you two understand me?" she said looking at them expectantly.

Mai and Elion smiled at each other before saluting the other "Aye Aye Captain" they said as the burst into a flurry of giggles hooking arms with Avalon and walking towards the shrine. After about 10 minutes they arrived at their destination. There was not a thing out of place, it looked like a traditional shrine and out front was the man that Mai had seen earlier sweeping the front. The man turned to them with a warm smile and waved for them to come inside. They followed him to a tea room where warm jasmine tea was waiting for them with a tray full of cookies.

"I am glad you all came" the priest said with a knowing smile. He had seen the three pass the shrine many times when he was cleaning and he could sense something very special within them. It wasn't until two days ago that he realized what it was. He had left the shrine to run some errands when he saw the three girls in the park. The one with golden blond hair that resembled the sun was crouching low to the ground cradling young bird that had broken its wing. He watched as she raised a hand to its wing and it give a white glow. This happened for three seconds when the bird raised in her hands and fly toward the sky. It was then that he realized why these girls were so special and knew that he needed to talk to them as soon as possible.

"Wait you were expecting the three of us to come?" Avalon asked suspiciously. She was put off by the fact that the other just seem to know something that they didn't.

"Yes I have been expecting you. I understand how this can be a little unsettling, but please be at ease. Do an old man a favor and hear his story" he said with another warm smile. When the girls did not speak he took that as his cue to tell his story "Long ago their existed an ancient race of beings called the celestials. The celestials broke up into three groups The Sorelie, The Lunarie, and the Stellarie. The Solerie where known as the children of the sun, they were a group who could heal any illness, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual. They could purify even the darkest of souls with their purging flames and create order when chaos was about to happen. They had an animal companion which was the lion. The Lunarie where known as the children of the moon, they were a group who could read the mind and emotions of others. They were blessed with the ability of sacred water that could purge any demons; they can easily detect deceit, and are fast to defend those that they care about the most. They had an animal companion which was the wolf. Lastly the Stellarie where known as the children of the stars, they were a group that were given the gift of sight; meaning they could see past present and future. They were blessed with the power of the cosmos, meaning they can see all in the spiritual plain and call upon the power of the stars to create powerful barriers; they also had an animal companion which was the fox. It was said that the blood of these three groups still lives on dormant within human beings and believe that you three are part of these groups" he said allowing the information to sink in.

Mai was the first to recover from the three "But what makes you so sure?" she asked the other not really wanting to believe that she could honestly be something so special. Although her powers were glowing and in her dreams she was starting to see things that were to come or were currently happening, she still couldn't believe she could be something so well powerful.

"If I show you to summon your companions would you all believe this old man?" he asked and watched as all three girls nodded their heads. The old man chuckled before instructing the girl on how to summon their partners "Alright close your eyes and take a deep breath. Allow your minds to wander and when a name appears in your mind speak it out loud and your familiar shall appear" he instructed them.

The three girls did as he instructed taking a deep breath and allowing their minds to wander freely for some time. After about an hour the first to speak was Elion "Rae" she said softly and next to her appeared a golden furred lion with a mane made of flames. The second to speak was Avalon "Kai" she said clearly and next to her appeared a wolf with silver fur and eyes the color of the ocean. The last to speak was Mai "Sei" she spoke hesitantly and beside her appeared a white fox with black patch fur over his right eye in the shape of a star. Once the three were done they opened their eyes they saw their familiars standing beside them and remained in silent shock.

The old man chuckled at their reaction and shook his head "Do you believe me now?" he asked and they all slowly nodded their heads "Good I will show you three how to control your powers for they will grow from this point on. Meet me one day a week do you understand" they all nodded again "Your familiars can only be seen by you, unless you want them to be seen by others" he explained before dismissing them…..

*Flashback ends*

Truth is that he was right, our powers did grow after that and we were happy for the training we received from him. After all these years I am finally able to stand my ground against a spirit and no longer just a damsel in distress as I was before. I always wondered what the others would think of her now. I always wondered how everyone was doing back home and even now I wonder. Oh well I am finally at my stop I will talk to you tomorrow diary

Sincerely,

Mai Taniyama

With that Mai got off the train walking through the crowds to get to the other side of the bus station where she knew Avalon and Elion was waiting for her. As she finally cleared the crowed and reached the car she heard a familiar voice call out behind her "Mai?" the voice said. She slowly turned around only to come face to face with….
