Ghost Hunt

SPR Case File: Undying Attraction

Chapter 1

"Mai maybe short tempered but we do need to confront her about it."

A male voice muffled from behind the office door. It wasn't unusual to overhear their conversations about her.

"If she claims how smart she says she is, she'll figure it out on her own."

A familiar voice that annoyed her to no end rang in her ears.

"UNBELIEVABLE! How can you be so rude Naru!?"

She walked in stomping her feet, crossing the others only sparing them small glances.

She shot daggers with her eyes to the narcissistic boss, Kazuya Shibuya aka Naru. An unbelievably rude teenager, that is not only insensitive but a complete anti-social ass. After she felt satisfied with her death glare, she observed the others.

Almost the whole team was gathered at the SPR office, everyone except Masako; A famous TV medium. Not that it bothered Mai that much, seeing as Masako sees Mai as a love rival to Naru. She literally hates breathing the same air, always covering her nose with her Kimono's sleeves.

"Hey Mai, how was school?"

The person who spoke was Tokigawa, a monk. Mai has a found of him seeing as he cares to her when Naru chews out Mai.

"Fine, I passed all my tests by the way."

She directed her words in the direction of her boss.

"Seems I may have underestimated you Mai,"

He said in a monotone voice. Purposely giving her the complement she wanted.

"That's great Mai."

Ayako cheered her on, Ayako is a priestess though sometimes they doubt her presents here at SPR (Shibuya Physic Research).

Mai couldn't let go of the subject they were talking about before she arrive. She wanted to mention it but Naru seems very unimpressed. Annoyed, he closed his little black book hard with only one hand demanding for tea.

"Mai, Tea."

Mai got up reluctantly to make Naru tea, especially when he asked so rudely. Though everybody knows Naru loved his tea, Mai's tea in particular.

"Seeing as this isn't a café but an office, I suggest you all go home."

Naru stood up, ready to return to his personal office which she called 'his lair.'

"Ah! Actually I'm here for a job."

Tokigawa spoke up before he could leave the room for good. Tokigawa was usually pretty good getting job offerings when SPR wasn't getting any clients. So Naru was immediately hooked, squeaking his shoes as he turned around.

"Explain the details."

Naru demanded.

"Well you see, not far from my house there is this elderly couple. Apparently, they would wake up in the middle of the nigh with glowing children surrounding their bed."

He explained.

"Most defiantly a haunting,"

Ayako said with confidence.

"But what could have cause children to haunt this couple?"

John spoke with his left hand under his chin; John is a priest from Australia. Naru questioned the monk.

"How many children have appeared at the scene?"

"The wife counted a few time for a couple of nights, she said that the number drops and rises every second night; from 8 to 10."

"Naru here's your tea."

Mai put the tea down onto the center table, immediately sitting down along with it. Right when Mai sat down to join the conversation, Naru started barking orders.

"Mai, get Lin. Ayako, John, head over to the location with Tokigawa as your guide. Mai, Lin and I will arrive shortly, also Mai, inform the couple of our arrival."

Naru didn't shout but his tone mentioned his interest and eagerness.

Naru had Tokigawa copy the couple's number for Mai, everyone was soon moving about obeying Naru's orders. 'He didn't even touch his tea! Thank you for making me make it for nothing!' Mai thought sarcastically. Either Naru was super observant or telepathic, she didn't know but he quickly picked up his tea and began drinking it.

After Mai was finished warning the couple that they accepted the job and will be heading off immediately, Naru ordered her to go help Lin with the van. He now took over the phone, before Mai left the office she couldn't help feel a small annoying tug at her chest when Naru mentioned Masako's name on the phone.

Day 1

For Mai the drive over was filled with unpleasant silence, both Naru and Lin always keep to themselves. Lin especially he is the tall, dark, and handsome and most deafeningly silent. Barely anyone ever heard Lin speak, when he does it's only to Naru. Lucky for Mai she had the pleasure of talking to him more than the others have. He is a gentleman compared to Naru, and extremely helpful to the team.

"Hey Mai, you guys finally arrived,"

Tokigawa waved at them at the end of the drive way. They exited the van, Naru immediately heading to the door to gather more information from Tokogawa. Mai and Lin opened the back of the van, where all the high tech equipment was packed. John joined them not long after, offering his assistants to carry the heavier weight.

Lin, Mai, and John completed setting up base which was in the biggest room the couple had in the house. Lin sat down looking at his computer typing updates that only he knew about and would share with Naru, later never to be heard again.

"Hey Naru, well you fill the rest of us in?"

Ayako asked obviously looking at her nails and not Naru. Naru turned around looking at Ayako then ignored her and walked over to one of the camera's that have yet been set up. Picking it up he passed it to Mai, knowing she would know where to put it. Mai groaned, she was tired after a long day at school then worked to the bone by Naru.

"So far we have the information that Tokigawa gave us previously"

Naru explained.

"The house is only one level, layout; with one living room, bedroom, kitchen, and two separate bathrooms on opposite sides of the house. Base is in the living room, across the hall the bedroom is on the left side of the kitchen. Bathrooms are beside the bedroom and the ketchen."

Lin described the house layout to everyone.

Naru was posed leaning his weight on his back of his thighs to the table, just when Mai was getting out of sight walking out of the living room/base.

Mai was to place the camera in the bathroom, right side of the bedroom. After setting up the camera in the bathroom, Mai spoke into the microphone.

"Test, camera now set up."

She took a big sigh of relief to be finished and ready to rest.

"Good job Mai, return to base."

Naru's voice scratched by the walkie talkie replied to her test on the camera microphone.

As she was returning herself to base, she had to past the bedroom. Mai's curiosity tugged harshly at her mind, she knew better that she should return to Naru's side but it was in her nature to take a quick look. She peeked around the corner of the bedroom door, nothing was there.

'Why children? The couple as we knew them, they didn't have any children.'

Mia thought to herself. Just recently Naru discovered that she was a latent physic, he tested her after their last case; Case: The Bloodstained Labyrinth.

She couldn't shake off this feeling that the bedroom wasn't the room that was haunted, in her heart she felt like the kitchen was what they should put their focus on. After learning about her new skill, she was positive that Naru would take her opinion a little more seriously. Quickly returning to base, she entered a very silent very tense atmosphere.

"What's wrong, guys?"

She asked nervously afraid that someone would snap at her.

No one replied, just stood there in silence. Mai began to wonder was she going crazy or was she seeing things, things like people being frozen in time. She looked around the room; no, everyone was breathing and still blinking. So what has got them in a knot? Even the elderly couple was acting the same way as the others.

'It hasn't even been 3 hours sense we set up base, I've never seen this happen before.'

Mai thought.

'this isn't right.'

An unexpected doorbell rang out almost making Mai jump out of her skin. She was impressed that even the doorbell didn't get a reaction out of them. She quickly ran to the door, her expression dropped like a bomb. There stood Masako with a very worried face; she knew something wasn't right either.

"What is wrong with this house? I sense children everywhere, angry, and very violent to the owners of this house,"

Masako spoke behind her sleeve.

"Hey Masako, I seriously need your help right now!"

Mai grabbed her arm and dragged Masako into Base.

Masako started to feel faint, her hand still covering her nose and mouth. Mai was struggling to keep them both balanced; even now she began to fall into a daze.

'Can ghost's produce gas? Was it even a ghost?'

Then things went white, both Masako and Mai feel to the floor like dolls.

"Mai! Mai!"

Mai began to hear voices, the one screaming was Naru. Was it another one of her dreams of Naru, the handsome smiling Naru in her dreams?

Her eyes flickered open softly and slowly, Naru was above Mai one hand cuffing her left side of her face and the other on her shoulder. Naru's eyes were frantic, worried and relieved.

"Naru…."

Mai spoke out, wishing she could repeat his name over and over again. Though she knew that would be embarrassing for her and she was worried about Masako, even though Masako only shows rivalry to Mai she still respected her fealings.

"Thank goodness."

Another voice appeared. Mai was right to keep her mouth shut about calling out to Naru; the voice she heard was Ayako.

Mai slowly after waking up sat up properly. She found herself lying on the couch once again. What ever happened to her she dreamt it, Masako stood right in front of her held by Johns support. She was faint, just like she saw her in Mai's dream.

"Seems like both Mai and Maskao need to be keep care of, I'll place you Tokigawa to look after them for the night." Naru instructed.

Masako disagreed; she wanted to be with Naru instead of Tokigawa. Mai wasn't exactly still there so she didn't personally care, she just wanted some rest. And rest was what she got, she would never know the outcome to who would be watching over Masako and Mai.

Day 2

Mai opened her eyes to Ayako standing above her, shocked she jumped off the couch in a hip.

"Gezz Mai, you don't have to be so scared of me. I was only trying to wake you up."

Ayako claimed, and insulted that Mai acted that way to her.

"Well, you are frightening time to time."

Tokigawa spoke in a 'matter of fact' tone.

Ayako turned bright red with anger, how dare he insult her. She chased after him around the couch with her purse. Mai giggled at the scene, she almost forgot what happened yesterday night, she couldn't understand what happened. She looked at Naru with a hopeful face that he could explain it to her; he was her boss and mentor.

Mai wanted to 'desperately cling to his arm and…..and what!?' Mai realized her train of thought was wondering off again, again into dream land that Naru would make her feel safe. Lucky for Mai, Naru was more interested into the video footage of the night. Getting off the couch she bent over to also observe the tape, it was clear on camera 3 which was set up in the bedroom. Lin turned up the volume, laughter was faint in the back ground but that was defiantly children laughing.

"Masako, got anything else when you walked around?"

Naru asked; he was all business right now.

"I sense violence in the air, I can't fully see the figures but I can tell you for sure they are children. Most of the children are from long ago."

Masako continued talking behind her sleeve.

"Is there a specific location you can give us?"

"The kitchen."

Mai whispered, she was going to tell Naru before bed last night but things got out hazy and she fell asleep.

Even though Naru's focus was on Masako, when Mai answered under her breath he caught wind of it. He now stared deeply at Mai, her face was surprised. She didn't plan on him hearing her.

"Is the specific location you feel the strongest in the kitchen?"

Naru asked, clearly the question was directed to Mai but Masako answered anyway.

"Yes"

"This house is too small!"

Ayako shouted out, breaking the questionnaire, she never liked small places.

Tokigawa yet again started to tease Ayako, John tried desperately to stop them. Lin was doing his own thing typing away, calculating a solution to this mystery. Masako walked off to get some fresh air, feeling cramped with 7 people including her inside one small living room.

Mai stared focused on Naru's back; her attraction to him was slowly growing over time. It was slowly pushing the needle into her heart, with Naru's poison. Mai knew she has a crush on Naru, she figured it out not long after meeting him on the first job. Case after Case, Mai would always be pleased he asked her for tea. Though harshly, she still enjoyed his eagerness for tea, a way for her to stay close to him.

Mai enjoyed her job; the people she works with became her family, Naru as the number one on her list. She doesn't want to ever lose him. But the feeling from before still hung about in her head, that horrible dream when everyone just shut down. Naru's cool pose stuck there, not thinking deeply about the job but frozen. Thinking of nothing, Mai feared this new job, this isn't right.

~Sorry, the chapter may not be very long but I do still hope you enjoyed it. I love writing stories, but maybe my imagination doesn't go well with words. So if anything is wrong with it, I would be glad that you gave me a review on it.~

~~Thanks for reading XOXO~~
