Wow its been a while since I posted anything. I'm sorry that this is so short the next one will be longer so please review. I don't own Ghost Hunt cause if I did I wouldn't have to resort to writting fanfictions, not that I don't love writting and reading them.
"I will love you until the stars turn cold."
"Do you really mean that?"
"Yes."
Mai was going to be sick. Sadly she was on a date, which normally wouldn't be so bad but the 'guy' she was with actually wanted to see the sappiest chick-flick in the movie theater. Usually for a first time date Mai liked to see a comedy or a feel-good movie. But this movie was so sweet Mai needed a dentist appointment because half her teeth had to be rotten by now.
Ayoka is going to get a good laugh out of this. She thought then quickly took a drink of her over priced soda to keep from sighing. It may give this moron the idea that she was actually enjoying herself.
Come on how long does it take to end a stupid movie. Yes! Here it comes the final kiss! And now the credits. Mai leaped to her feet and started to follow the crowd herding towards the exit. She figured her date could either follow or sit there and watch the credits. After she fully exited the theater Mai turned around and found that her date had followed, and didn't' look to happy about it. Just as he opened his mouth, doubtfully to say something about her rude behavior, a familiar white van pulled up under the light of the marquee.
"Naru?" Mai said.
"Who the hell is that?" He date asked.
"My boss." Was all Mai told him as she walked up to the van. Leaving her very angry date behind.
"Get in. " Was all Naru said. Not wanting to go back to the disaster behind her Mai got in without agreeing. Naru raised his eyebrow at this, but didn't say anything instead he just handed her a file. Frowning Mai dug around in her purse for her phone opening it she used the light to read this oh-so-important case. A hotel out in the country was suffering from paranormal activity. This hotel, well it was more of a Bed and Breakfast, specializes in people wanting to get away from the crowed city and enjoy some quite country life. But lately the guests have been seeing ghosts everywhere. There was a report of someone seeing a hanging body in the honeymoon suite, a man said he kept seeing someone falling down the backstairs, a woman cries constantly in the gazebo, and last but not least an older couple is seen walking and holding hands in the rose garden. The B&B was built in 1949 it was built by a Canadian who was married to a Japanese-American. Apparently her family had owned the land. It changed hands in the 1970's and the new owners decided to keep it as an 'American' B&B. In the 1980's an earthquake destroyed the building killing five people three employees and two guests.
"Were stopping by your place so you can pack. Be sure to pack a dress that makes you look older than ten." Mai just rolled her eyes and grunted a reply. She found long ago that arguing with Naru only made him smirk. But rolling her eyes, grunting, or best of all raising her eyebrow pisses him off. Mai had come a long way from the uncertain stumbling girl she use to be. The van stopped in front of her apartment. Mai quickly got out of the van, but stuck her head back in to ask.
"Are you going to wait here or do you want to come in for some tea?"
"Just hurry up and pack we don't have all night."
"Yes sir! Whatever you say sir!" Mai closed the van door, moved so that Naru could se her through the passenger window and saluted him. Then she did an about turn and marched into the apartment building. Silently she thanked whoever kept her from falling flat on her face, an about turn does not work so well when your wearing your new heels. Inside her apartment Mai ran around throwing clothes into a suitcase. Pausing for a moment Mai thought of what dresses to take. She decided to take her black dress, you can never go wrong with a little black dress. Stuffing more clothes and shoes into the suitcase she zipped it up and ran towards the door or at least shuffled since she was still wearing her heels. Back at the van Naru looked out the passenger window and raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Mai asked as she got situated in the backseat of the van.
"You couldn't change your shoes?" Naru said his voice full of sarcasm.
"I brought flats. Anyway didn't you say you were in a hurry?" Mai shot back.
"I don't even know why you are wearing that outfit its winter and your wearing heels." Naru turned in his chair to look at Mai in disapproval.
"First off I brought a coat." Mai held up a finger to emphasis her point. "Second off I was on a date, which means looking good eclipses comfort." Naru made no reply he just sat there and stared. Mai began to feel embarrassed but she didn't know why. Yeah sure she has loved this moron for years now, but nothing has ever happened. He has never show any kind of indication that he thinks of her as anything more than just an assistant. So she just agreed to go on a few dates with some love struck teenage boys, it never went passed a first date. Hell a girl could die and old maid waiting for this narcissistic bastard to make a move.
"A date?" He finally said his voice lacking the cold monotone it usually had. Instead it was laced with what sounded like . . . worry.
"Ummmm . . . yeah but it wasn't going well. The guy took me to this crap movie and the whole time I wanted to go to the bathroom and escape out the window. Worst date ever." Mai's heart began pounding when she heard Naru softly laugh. Was Naru jealous? Did he actually care?
"So . . . I don't want you to go out on anymore dates." Was all he said before turning back to face the road.
"What?! You can't tell me what to do while I'm on my time! Hell I could go nude jello wrestling and you can't say a damn thing!"
"You will do nothing of the kind." Naru stated turning back to face Mai his face cold and serious. That statement just made Mai angrier, but had she kept her temper she might have seen Lin smirk into the rear view mirror. He was happy that his antisocial ward finally found someone he like and respected if only Mai could figure that out.
"Of course I wasn't going to do that it was an example, but you still can't tell me not to date it's not like were married or anything."
"We are now."
"What?" Naru reached out and grabbed Mai's hand and slipped a ring onto her third finger. Mai stared at it in disbelief this couldn't be real, on the other hand it was a beautiful ring.
"In this case one ghost, the one hanging from the ceiling, only occurs when a married couple is staying in the honeymoon suite. From now on we are newly weds." Wide eyed Mai looked up from the ring and into Naru's slightly worried face. She swallowed and kicked her mind into gear this wasn't real just something for the case he really didn't mean to marry her. But the slight pinch in between his brows the frown that was pulling at the corners of his mouth. He was worried at her reaction was he afraid of rejection? Of her totally freaking out over this? Hell if she could she would tell Lin to stop at a chapel right now, but that might be a bit of an over reaction.
"If a ghost appears above me I swear I'm going to start screaming in your ear." Mai said in, to her own surprise, a calm voice.
"How is that new? You always scream in my ear when a ghost appears." Naru smirked the worried look disappearing from his face.
"Ha ha your so damn funny." Naru sat back and smiled to himself, it might not be so bad being married to Mai. To bad it was only for the case it would make it easier to keep her from going on any more dates he saw that boy she was with and was less than impressed.
