Their boys ( ghost hunt ) ( mai and naru )

Chapter 1

Nineteen-year-old Taniyama Mai sprinted up the stairs to the familiar office in which she had worked in for around four years now.
"Hi! Sorry I'm late."

"Mai, you're late. Tea." The cold voice of her employer, Shibuya Kazuya, rang out from his office.

"Hai! I just apologized for that!" The grumbling brunette walked into the kitchen, thankful for the cool air of the SPR office. Outside, the heat from the summer sun was unbearable, to say the very least. "Lin-san, would you like some tea as well?"

"No thank you." Lin-san, her tall Chinese co-worker, was a man of few words, though he said more now than when she first started working at SPR. Mai hummed cheerfully as she put the kettle on to boil, selecting the green tea that Naru usually drank from the shelf. While spooning the tea into a cup, the small brass bell on the front door jingled, announcing that SPR had a visitor. Mai walked out of the kitchenette. There in the lobby stood a homely looking woman, around forty, with wisps of gray streaking her ebony hair.

"Hello. Is there something that SPR can help you with today?" The woman seemed to relax as Mai gave her a cheerful smile.

"Uh, yes. I'd like to see about enlisting SPR's assistance in a matter at the orphanage that I run."

"One moment, please. Let me get my boss." The woman took a seat as Mai walked over to Naru's office. Naru was the nickname she'd given her narcissistic boss, only to later find out that his real name was Oliver Davis and that he was often called Noll.

"Naru, there's a woman here that would like a consultation. Said it had to do with an orphanage that she runs."

"I'll be there in a minute. Don't forget my tea." He said, getting up from his chair.

"Yes, Naru." Mai huffed. Walking out of his office, Mai turned to the woman, now seated on the horrendous couch that Mai had been trying to talk Naru into replacing. It was still there, four years later, so it was pretty obvious as to who won. "Shibuya-san will be out in a moment. Would you like some tea?"

"Ah, yes please." Mai quickly excused herself when she heard the kettle let out a shrill whistle and made her way back to the kitchenette. As soon as she had left, Naru had just exited his office. Seeing the potential client, he walked over to where she was and seated himself in front of her.

"I am Shibuya Kazuya, owner of SPR, and you are?"

"My name is Ito Chinatsu."

"Ito-san, if you could please state your business here, I'd like to hear your case."

"I understand. The case is concerning an orphanage that I run in Yamaguchi. It's relatively large and we currently have one hundred children there, all from different prefectures. The orphanage has been open for twenty years and there have never been any problems before. However, recently the children have been seeing things, people and such. There have been unexplainable noises, heavy footsteps in empty hallways, the sound of water running in rooms that don't have faucets. Doors will fly open and shut, objects will fly across rooms, and glass will break. There several areas that are always freezing cold and the children have complained about feeling as though they're being watched as they walk down the halls. I'm not really sure as to what's happening. I haven't the faintest idea as to how handle this either. Just yesterday, one of my employees was injured. A vase flew across the dinning room and broke over their head. I'm worried for the safety of the children in my care. If my employee could be injured, perhaps the children will be next."

Half-way through this speech, Mai had appeared bearing a tray holding two cups of tea, one of which she placed one in front of the guest and the other in front of Naru. Naru had immediately begun sipping on his while Chinatsu's remained untouched.

"I understand. My team and I will be there within three days. We'll need a room to do our monitoring from and also we'll need at least two rooms for my employees to stay in, as we will be staying overnight."

"That can be arranged. Thank you for taking my case."

"We'll see you in a few days." With that, Ito-san left after shaking hands and gave Mai a small smile as she departed through the door.

"Mai, tea."

"Eeeh!? But I just made you a cup!"

"It appears that not only are you lacking in intelligence but in observational skills as well." He sighed.

"Nani?" Peering into Naru's cup, she was surprised to find that it was empty. Not a drop left.

Smirking, Naru walked to his office, "Mai."

"Nani?"

"Tea."

"Hai!" 'Compulsive tea-drinking egomaniac!' Mai thought, walking into the kitchenette to get Naru yet another cup of tea.

"Yo, Jou-chan! How's Naru-bou been treating you?" A pair of strong arms wrapped firmly around Mai's shoulders as Bou-san rested his head on top of hers.
"Bou-san, will you please, quite literally, get out of my hair!" Mai waved her hands wildly as she tried to break away from the well -meaning monk.

"Awwww! Mai-chan, haven't you missed me? I haven't seen you in forever!" Bou-san pouted some, earning him one heck of a bump from Ayako. "Ouch! What the heck was that for?!"

"That was for whining like a little child. You're a grown man, start acting like one, grandpa."

"GRANDPA!?! AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE WRINKLES!!!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU STUPID MONK???"

"YOU HEARD ME!" The bickering was so loud that they were beginning to give Mai a headache, which would eventually turn into a migraine if they kept it up..

"Mai, go home and pack. I expect you at the office at six a.m. sharp, understand?"

"Yes, Naru." Mai rubbed her temple slowly before grabbing her bag and heading out.

That night, as Mai was lying in bed, she had a dream...
