The Story Continued (Ghost Hunt)

Chapter 1

I googled how much time passes in the novel and apparently, it's not specified. For the sake of this fanfic we will assume that three years have passed inside the manga and Mai will be graduating school very soon.

Longer Summary: Gene is alive, and he and Naru briefly returned to England before coming right back to Japan. They've been gone for less than three months, in which the SPR was shut down. Now, the story of SPR continues with Gene on the team. But one more Person is coming all the way from England to join the team permanently. How will Gene fit in? A few things changed in the meantime. For example Naru. Well, not completely but he seems to be treating Mai... nicer than before. Wonder why?

"We'll take it." Naru said as he put the documents he was holding on his desk. "Then I'll contact the client." Mai answered taking the documents and a now empty cup from the desk and making her way to the door. Before leaving she turned around and asked "Do you want some more tea, Naru?" She didn't really wait for an answer as the answer was obvious and decided to ask Lin too.

Standing in the kitchen waiting for the water to boil she couldn't help but think about... well, everything that happened. Naru, Noll, Oliver. Last name Davis. So much happened. Her boss found what he was looking for and left, then came back not even 3 months later. So SPR is back. A place she felt was like her home is still here, all the people she felt were like her family are still here.

To think that the dead twin Naru was looking for was in fact still alive. Mai sighed. She was thinking about the first time she met Gene. Even though she didn't get to spend much time with him Gene instantly became an important brother figure to her.

And this wasn't the only surprise. In the three months Naru was gone she and Masako became best friends. The girl told her in secret that she was over Naru and quite embarrassed about her childish behavior.

What's more? Ayako and Bou-san got together. Apparently, Madoka and Lin got married in England, and......ugh right...Yasu told her he had a crush on Gene. Whether it was a joke or not....the time will show.

"That's so nice. Everyone's love life..." she sighed again then she heard a cough from behind which made her jump. Mai turned around to see Lin standing in the doorway. "I came to see if the tea was ready. I think the water already boiled." The man said pointing to the kettle.

Mai quickly got to work. Preparing cups. Choosing tea and so on. "I'm sorry Lin, I was daydreaming. How is Madoka by the way? It's been two months since you guys came back. I bet you miss her." Mai said. Lin gave her a faint smile thinking about his wife. "She's fine. I'll be able to see her soon and so will you." He then took his cup and went back to his room.

Shortly after the door to Lin's office closed the door to Naru's office opened. "Mai, where is my tea?" The boy asked. Mai jumped again. "Coming!" She yelled from the kitchen. The brunette grabbed the tea and rushed to the office. To her surprise, Naru was still standing in the doorframe holding the door open. That's also a change. For some reason, Naru became just a little nicer than he was before. Maybe Gene had a good influence on him.

Mai placed the cup on the desk as Naru closed the door and sat in his chair. "Have you called the client yet?" He asked. Mai thought she was being scolded so she answered quickly. "No, not yet but I was going to do it right after making your tea." Naru took a sip of his tea. "That's good. I need you to tell him some things." he said. "I read the documents and I noticed we are not the only ones investigating. There will be more groups so I want you to ask for a separate base. There shall be no problem as we are investigating a hotel. I also need him to arrange the rooms. We'll be moving and sleeping in pairs. The ghost attacks only women so I don't want any of the girls anywhere alone. The last one is access to the kitchen."
