Disclaimer~ I do not own Ghost Hunt or Another.

In a reasonable size office in Shibuya just above a café sits a teenage girl with short brown hair and chocolate brown eyes sorting paperwork from the past few cases her and the team have been on in the past few weeks while two other occupants of the second floor office building are in separate offices across the room. One of them happens to be a narcissistic black haired young man who happens to own the company while the other is a Chinese male in his early to mid twenties who happens to be the first males assistant.

The female is sixteen year old Mai Taniyama the secretary for the company (which is called Shibuya Psychic Research) who is hiding more from her colleagues than any of them think. The owner of the company is called Kazuya Shibuya but is known by his workers as either Naru or as his real name Oliver Davis a famous paranormal investigator and scientist from England. The assistants name is Koujo Lin he is the silent and mysterious type, but he does warm up to those he likes.

Mai finished sorting the paperwork and got up and walked over to the kitchen and began making tea before walking back over to her desk and gathering her things.

She winced when she checked her phone and noticed that she missed about eight phone calls and has about thirty unanswered texts all pretty much saying call Kouichi. She sighed making a mental note to call him on her way home as she walked back to the kitchen to see the tea was ready. She poured two cups and walks over to Lin's Cav- I mean office. Lin's Office. Mai knocked on the door before she entered walking over to the desk where the silent man sat typing on his computer.

"Hey Lin, I have some tea for you. And I also wanted to let you know I will be leaving momentarily as I finished my work and my shift just ended." She informed the man who nodded in thanks and as a way to show he had heard what she had said.

She left his office and walked over to her boss's office and knocked hearing a 'come in' she entered walking over to the desk of this room and placing the tea down before she waited for some sort of grateful reponse.

"I know that I am handsome Mai but you don't need to stare." Naru said smirking slightly at the brunette in front of him.

Said brunette blushed slightly. "I was waiting for a thank you, or some form of it!" She exclaimed in an annoyed tone. "And my shift is done and I finished my filing so I am leaving for the night."

Naru nodded and Mai turned around and left out of the room shutting the door behind her. She grabbed her bag pulling her cellphone out and leaving the office. As she left the building she typed in a familiar number while walking down the sidewalk.

'Hello?' A male voice saed on the other end of the line.

"Hey Kouichi. You and the other two decided to try and contact me while I was at work. What is so incredibly important it couldn't wait for a few more hours or minutes from when the last text was sent?" The brunette said getting straight to the point beginning to feel slightly scared of the answer.

'Sorry about that Mei but it is an emergency.' Kouichi said softly with a sigh which made her listen closer to what he was saying. 'I hate to say this but 'it' has started again this year."

Mai/Mei stiffened. "You don't mean the calamity do you?" She asked cautiously and had to take a few nervous deep breaths as she already knew the answer she just didn't want it confirmed.

'Yes that, and before you say anything else, yes we know that it shouldn't be happening again this year but it is happening. And the reason we were all trying to contact you is because we were asked to gather everyone who helped stop it last year in hopes we can stop it again.' He said his tone of voice suggested he is apologizing for bringing this up.

"I will be there tomorrow sometime in the morning. Is there anything else I should know before I come?" She asked seriously paying careful attention to keeping her voice neutral.

'Yeah I am pretty sure the principal hired some ghost hunting group to come this year because his daughter is in this years class.' Kouichi said with a sigh.

"I am not all that surprised." She confessed honestly. "Anyway, I will call you when I get there. See you tomorrow."

'See you then Mei and have a safe trip.' He said softly before hanging up.

Mai sighed before calling Naru.

'Mai?' A stoic voice asked answering the phone. The voice had a hint of curiosity in it.

"Hey Naru. There was an emergency and I need a few weeks off..." She said softly trailing off she just hoped he understood that she couldn't get out of it.

'What is so important that you have to leave for a few weeks?' Her eyes widened as she thought she heard what sounded like concern in his voice.

"Well... That's a bit complicated." She began. "Well do you remember during the Urado case how I said I lived with a teacher for a bit after my mother died?" She waits until she hears his agreement to her claim before continuing. "Well... uh... they got into an accident and are hurt. And I wasasked to come help them out and I couldn't just say no to him." She heard a sigh on the other end of the line.

'Go on Mai you can have off for as long as you need.' Naru said making the brunette smile slightly.

"Thanks Naru see you in a few weeks." She said sighing relieved as she hung up and continued on towards her apartment to pack for Yomiyama.

'Well I am going back sooner than expected.' She thought before going into the bathroom and taking her wig off and her contacts out. 'Well time to be Mei again.' She thought sadly as she took in her reflection with pain in her crimson eye before she turned around and left her bathroom heading towards her room to begin packing.

The ravenette sighed softly as she got to her room and packed a few outfits that went well with how she truly looked before she put them in a small suitcase. She did not need many clothes as she had many back in her old house that would still fit as she has not grown since she left. As she packed she looked up ontop of her dresser where she kept her pictures. The first one she saw was one of her and her mother, the next was of her and the S.P.R. crew, the next was of her with the three she survived the curse with, and the last one was of her and her sister.

A tear escaped the girl's crimson eye before she turned away from the picture and quickly finished up with packing. She got ready for bed slowly as she was not looking forward to the next day. As she settled down a feeling of nervousness settled itself in her stomach as a thought ran through her head. 'Kouichi said something about a ghost hunting group? Which one?' She hoped it was not the one she worked for, but she also wanted it to be them as she knew them to not be fakes, but she did not want them to find out who she truly is.
