Gene's P.O.V.

We entered the door as a middle-aged woman invited us in. "Hey, I'm Natsumi, and this is my daughter Haru. I'm sorry for dragging you all this way to the outskirts of the city, but I really didn't have a choice", she said. "Oh, don't worry about it!", I heard Mai say with her usual cheery voice. "Yeah, it's perfectly fine!", I said. "Hey, I'm Kazuya Shibuya, the boss of the company, and these are my assistant Mai, my brother Gene, Lin Koujou, Masako Hara, Ayako Matsuzaki, Houshou Takigawa and John Brown." "It's nice to meet you all", Natsumi said. "Is there a place where we can set up our equipment?" Typical Naru, always about work! "Of course! You can put it up in the guestroom. Haru will bring you there. In the mean time, I will make some tea", and while she went to the kitchen, Haru walked up to Mai. The kids always seem to like her the most. No wonder! I think that's part of the reason why Naru keeps her as his assistant. 'Well, aside from being totally in love with her!', I mentally smirked. 'Gene, cut the crap, will ya?', I heard Naru say in his mind. He must've heard my thoughts. I don't mind! He can here the truth! 'It's not the truth Gene and you know it!', Naru mentally answered. With a final smirk of me, we went up the stairs, following Mai, who was dragged along by Haru.

Mai's P.O.V.

I was dragged along by Haru, up the stairs. For a little girl, she sure was strong! But when we came to the guestroom, I felt like I couldn't breath anymore. "My old room!", was all I could bring out. I think it must've been a little too much, because by the time the rest was in the room, I was already fainted. The last thing I heard was: "Mai!", I wasn't sure, but I thought it was Naru, and then everything went black.

"Mai, Mai! Mai, wake up!" "Gene?", I said. My voice was rough and weak. "Damn it, Mai! You scared the crap out of us!" "I'm sorry. I guess seeing my old room was just too much to handle." I looked around. We where in the living room. "What are you going to show me?", I asked. "Pretty much the same as last time, but with a little bit more. Same as always, but Mai?"' "Yeah?" "I really have to go now. I've got to tell the rest you're okay." "Okay. I guess I see you later, then!", I said a little unsure. I knew what was coming, and I was not going to like it! "Okay, here we go!", and with that, the dream started. I saw that crying woman, again. I heard her say something, but couldn't understand what it was. She was mumbling too much to hear it, again, but after a while, I was able to understand it, this time. "You shouldn't have let me die.", she said, still crying. She sounded so broken. You could just feel that she felt betrayed. I started to feel sorry for her, but then she suddenly stopped crying, and stood up. Just like in the first dream, I couldn't believe my eyes! Her face was drenged in blood, her dress ripped apart and she had scars all over her body, but what scared me the most, was the mean smirk she had, on her face. She started to chuckle, and not long after that, the chuckle became the most evil laugh I had ever heard! I knew what came next. I was about to say goodbye to my life, again! "Okay, here we go", I said to myself, as she walked up to me, with the knife in her hand. "You shouldn't have let me die!", was all she said, as she stuck the knife in my body. With that, I woke up screaming.

Naru P.O.V.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" I heard screaming, so it was clear that Mai woke up. I instantly went to check on her. Although I wont admit it, I'm kinda worried about Mai sometimes. She always gets herself into trouble, and the ghosts always come after her. She's like a magnet for problems!
 
I walked into the living room with Natsumi, who brought the tea with her. She gave a cup to Mai. As usual, Mai thanked her and drank it. Now that she had calmed down a little bit, I asked her the usual question. I knew Mai didn't like it, and that is also the reason I hate this part, but it had to be answered. "What was your dream about, Mai?", I asked in my all too known business-voice.

Mai's P.O.V.

There he was again, with his stupid question! Didn't he care even a bit about me?! But I knew it was a question that needed to be answered, so I started my story. By the time I was done, and Naru had finished writing it all down in his notebook, my voice was rough again.

A few moments after that, we started to put up the equipment. By now, I was used to the house again. It was like I never left the place, but I knew that was a lie. I was definitely going to miss this place, when I leave again, after the job. That is, if I was able to come out of this alive, and judging from the dream, I wasn't.
