A/N: I have rewritten all of the original chapters that have been published so far everything will now be in third person POV instead of switching between the different POVs. I feel in the long run this will be better for me to be able to tell this story. For those of you who have been following since the beginning thank you and I hope you will be able to enjoy the rewrites. You will see the new updates being published throughout the week and I have also written a new chapter that you will see get published. For those of you who are new to this story welcome and I hope you enjoy.
6:30am.
Not a typical time to wake up if you were a high school student on a Saturday morning. But if your name was Mai Taniyama then it was a typical time to wake up. The brunette jumped out of bed and began her day getting ready for her part time job at Shibuya Psychic Research or SPR for short.
Mai could recall how 2 years ago her life had completely changed again. Her boss who she referred to as Naru the Narcissist was none other than the famous British psychic researcher Dr. Oliver Davis. Upon that discovery it was also made known that he was only in Japan to locate the body of his deceased brother Eugene (Gene). Once the body was recovered he and his Chinese bodyguard Lin returned to their home in England.
Madoka Mori a woman who was known for being a mentor to Naru stayed behind and took over the business and allowed Mai to keep her job. Of course everyone else who was a part of the team at SPR stayed to help with any new cases they would receive from that point forward. However, withe the departure of Naru and Lin it seemed that all the interesting cases went along with them.
All the cases they seemed to be getting of late had reasonable explanations and nothing was really haunted. Every once in a while they did get a case that proved to actually have some paranormal activity but it was nothing they couldn't handle on their own.
Even after two years Mai found it difficult for her to address Naru as his given name Oliver Davis, whenever someone at SPR mentioned him. No matter how hard she tried she just couldn't bring herself to utter that name, so she stuck with Naru. on a more positive note the brunette was able to strengthen her psychic abilities.
She was able to develop some PK and enhanced her astral projection ability. Now when she dreams she can wake up with an injury the spirit may have received in that particular dream. She also did lose Gene who was there in her dreams and was guiding her.
Mai arrived to the office at 7:30 and opened the door to Madoka already inside on her laptop.
"Good morning Madoka," Mai greeted as she hung up her sweater on the coat rack.
"Hello Mai," the pink haired woman responded with a warm smile.
Immediately Mai headed straight for the small office kitchen and put some water in the kettle and placed it on the stove to boil.
'Ah what am I doing it's not like he is here demanding tea from me. Stupid, tea loving, narcissistic, jerk it's your fault I have this habit now,' Mai thought to herself feeling annoyed.
"Hey Madoka would you like some tea," Mai called to her.
"Sure thanks," Madoka replied.
When the kettle whistled signaling the water was ready Mai poured the water into the two cups she grabbed and mixed in the tea leaves. The assistant brought one tea cup to her pink haired boss and took the other into her respective office. Madoka had decided that Mai needed a proper office, instead of a desk in the corner of the main room, so she had an additional room built. Mai was grateful and thought it was better than having to take over Naru or Lin's office, it wouldn't have felt right to her.
