Dream~~~

'I have to hide, he can't find me!' I ran through the never-ending black abyss. Whenever I would look behind her shoulder, I would only to get a glimpse of a shadow that was hovering a few feet behind me. 'He can't do this!'

'You are mine!' A hoarse voice screamed.

Then I started to fall…

File One…

Mai's POV

I woke up to the sensation of falling out of my desk. I quickly looked around the silent office, hoping that Shibuya Kazuya (aka Naru) wasn't around to see that I had fallen asleep on the job, again.

'Thank god… for a moment I thought he…' She never got around to finishing her thought before her boss walked out of his office, deep in thought.

"Mai, tea," I started grumbling until he added, "and call the others." He then picked up a file and started scanning through its contents.

"Why do I need to call the others?" I was so confused; we never called anyone unless it's urgent.

"We have a case." And with that, Naru went back to his office.

I went into the little kitchen adjacent to the sitting room, and there I started to boil some water for the Narcissists 'precious tea.' Once the kettle started whistling, I poured the water into two cups, one for the boss, and one for his assistant, Koujo Lin.

Lin rarely speaks, and doesn't seem to like me, but I don't blame him. I did hurt him a few times (on accident) and he isn't fond of the Japanese.

I knocked on Lin's door, "Lin, do you want some tea?" He turned around and shook his head. "ok then…" I turned around and stormed out the door. 'Great, now the tea is wasted!'

I then knocked on Naru's door. I heard a curt "come in", and so I cautiously opened the door. "Here's your tea." I walked over and placed it on his desk. "So…. What's the case about?"

"I'll tell everyone once they get here, if you even call them…"

"WHY YOU….." Before I could start to really yell at this guy, I heard the front door open. 'I wonder who it is…'

I walked out to the sitting room, and I see Masako, a famous medium, sitting in one of the chairs.

"Is Naru here?" She asked while hiding her mouth with her sleeve. "I really need to talk to him."

At that moment, Naru appeared from his office. "Mai here was just about to call you, is there a reason why you came here?"

"Why yes, there was a man that talked to me yesterday, and he seemed in a hurry. Do you know the name Watanobi Kenji?" She took a deep breath before continuing, "He asked if I knew where your office was."

"Yes, as a matter of fact he called me this morning, trying to set up an appointment; he only described some of the issues that has been happening around his home." Naru then shut his file and looked at Masako, "He is supposed to be coming soon, that's why I want Mai to call everyone and have them meet us here to discuss this case."

"Ok, ok! I'll call them right now!" I hurried to the phone to call Takigawa Houshou, a former monk; Matsuzaki Ayako, a self-centered shrine maiden; and John Brown, a priest from Australia. They aren't regulars here at S.P.R. (Shibuya Psychic Research) but they would help us anytime we asked.

Just then I heard a meek voice "Hello? Is this Shibuya Psychic Research, I called earlier."

And so it begins…..
