Who Is Mai Taniyama

Chapter 1: The Dream

A scream pierced through the dark, followed by a horrid gurgling sound. Another scream rang out in the dark room, this time coming from the two five year twin sisters standing in the doorway. A beautiful woman turned away from the gruesome scene of her husbands' death.

"Run! Kisagi! Protect your sister," she yelled.

"Ok, Mommy," Kisagi said, "Come on Maisgi!"

"What about Mommy," exclaimed Maisgi.

"Come on," yelled her twin sister.

The two girls then turned and ran out the door. Maisgi felt something grab for her. When she looked back, all she saw was a pair of red eyes. She screamed and the demon began to laugh. It made a beeping sound. Wait, beeping sound? Mai Taniyama shot up in bed.

Oh no, not again! Mai thought to herself. She slowly got out of bed and looked at the clock. 4:30 am.

"Urgh," she yelled, "It's too early!"

Mai's alarm went off and she switched it off, grumbling the whole way to the bathroom. After a long hot shower, Mai got dressed into her school uniform. Suddenly, she felt like she was being watched.

"Who's there," she asked. Looking around, she didn't see anything.

Hmmmm, maybe I'm just paranoid. Mai thought, if I still feel it when I get to the office, I'll tell Naru. Mai ate breakfast, put her shoes on, and stepped out of her house. After stepping out of her house, the feeling Mai felt intensified.

What!? What is this feeling, Mai thought. Confused, she looked around and still found nothing. Mai furrowed her brows and locked her door. She checked her pockets and felt her phone. Keeping a grip on it, she began to walk to the bus station.

When Mai arrived at work, she still felt like she was being watched. As she put her coat in the closet by the door, she noticed the lights in Naru's office were off.

"I wonder where Naru and Lin are," wondered Mai out load.

"Naru is at a meeting. I'm still here," said a deep voice.

Mai screamed and turned around. Only to see Lin Koujo staring at her, a little shocked.

"Taniyama-san? Are you alright," the tall Chinese man asked.

"Yeah," Mai lied, "just fine." She gave him a fake smile. Lin raised an eyebrow and gave her a pointed look. Mai sighed and told Lin about her dream and morning.

"I still feel like someone, or something, is watching me," Mai said, checking the window.

"Taniyama-san, trust me when I say that no one will get you," stated Lin, "especially here." Mai smiled and relaxed.

"You know you have to tell Naru," said Lin, "right?"

"Tell me what," said the cold voice of Mai's boss. Mai refrained from screaming, but couldn't stop herself from tensing. Lin shocked Mai and Naru, by placing a comforting hand on Mai's shoulder.

It's alright Mai," Lin said in a gentle tone. Mai nodded and told Naru about her dream and what she had been feeling all morning. Afterward, she noticed that his expression became softer.

"Mai, what happened to your sister," Naru asked. Mai's eyes widened and tears filled them.

"She died, protecting me," Mai whispered, the tears slid down her cheeks and she began to sob. Unexpectedly, Naru pulled her into a hug.
