I DON'T OWN GHOST HUNT!
P.S: MANGA SPOILER!!
This story takes place after Naru (Kazuya Shibuya/Oliver Davis) already left to go back to England and bury his dead twin brother Gene Davis.
This is mainly going to be a YasuharaXOC pairing and also, later, MaiXNaru!

Osamu Yasuhara sat on one of the many benches on the now empty campus of his university. He kept his head lent back as he stared up at the cloudy sky.
"Tut tut, looks like rain," he whispered to himself in his usual carefree way.
After a moment of watching the clouds flow by overhead he looked back down at the paper in his hand. It had been two years after Naru returned from England after Gene's funeral. The whole SPR gang had been reunited after his return and Yasuhara had been helping them out as much as possible.
The file he held in his hand was information on a case Naru and Mai were on right now. It held the usual type of information, you know, the whole murder and curse thing. Knowing how talented the narcissist and his brown haired assistant had become, the case will probably be over within a day or two.
Yasuhara placed the file down and stood up, stretching.
He stopped in amusement when he saw a rather short girl trying to balance a large pile of thick and heavy books in her arms. Then he noticed a rock right in her path…she was headed straight towards it.
Yasuhara held out his hand warning to the girl but it was too late.
The pile of books was too high and she, being so short, couldn't see the way in front of her.
All in all, she tripped.
Books of all sizes and colors went sprawling across the ground and pieces of paper with neat cursive notes flew up into the air and fluttered down around the girl.
Yasuhara hurried over to the fallen girl.
She had short dark black hair that was braided in two on each side of her head.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
The girl was face down on the pathway and quickly shot her head up, cheeks bright pink in embarrassment.
She looked up at Yasuhara through thick circular glasses, which made it impossible for the boy to see her eyes.
"D-Did you just see that?" she stuttered.
Yasuhara gave a friendly chuckle. "Don't worry; I think I was the only one who saw. No need to be embarrassed," he said and held a hand out for the girl.
The girl took the offered hand and stood, dusting herself off. "Thank you very much," she said.
Yasuhara smiled in reply then smirked slightly when something caught his eye. "You should probably pull the back of your skirt down a bit."
The girl's face turned from pink to deep red and hurriedly fixed her skirt. "A-Arigatou (T-Thank you)."
"No problem. May I ask your name?" the boy asked politely.
"Emi. Kinomoto Emi," she laughed awkwardly, most likely still embarrassed.
Yasuhara's eyes grew wide as he stared down at the short girl. "So you're Kinomoto Emi. You're one of the smartest people at Tokyo U?...Wow," he said in shock.
Emi just laughed again and rubbed the back of her head at the praise. "H-Hai (Y-Yeah), something like that…I know I look kind of short for a soon-to-be third year university student but that's only because I skipped a year. I'm really only nineteen…even though I probably look fourteen because of my height. Ehem…anyway, yes, I am Kinomoto Emi. And who are you, may I ask?"
The dark haired boy grinned. "Yes you may. I'm Osamu Yasuhara…" he trailed off and reached out and shook the girl's hand vigorously. "I guess you could say I'm your rival."
Emi's eyebrows shot up from behind her thick glasses. "Rival?"
Yasuhara only grinned more and nodded. "Yes. If you haven't noticed, you and I are both tied for having the number one spot for the smartest student here."
Emi just stared at him in shock. "Huh?"
"Well, it was good meeting you Kinomoto-chan. Remember, the next time we meet, we're rivals! Ja ne (See ya)!" he winked and waved, taking off down the pathway with a large grin.
After a moment of confusion the short dark haired girl finally remembered her fallen books and hurriedly set off to grab her notes which had flown quite far away.
After she collected all her things again she looked back at the spot the tall boy had left in.
She pouted and hung her head, "Just great. So now I'm some one's rival just because we're both smart…arrrr that jerk…BAKA!! You could have at least been a gentleman and helped me pick up my books!!"
She sighed. "Ugh…things can't get much worse can they?"
Just as the sentence left her mouth, rain started pouring down from the sky.
"Just great…"
…
(Yasuhara's POV - one week later)
I closed my book with a deep sigh. It was raining once again and I was reminded of that day one week ago.
Maybe I should have helped her with her books… I mused. I shrugged and my thoughts wandered on about random things like school and such.
There was only three more months left of the school year and then it would be summer break. That's good for me because that means that I'll have more time for ghost hunting.
Suddenly I heard a small snoring sound came from my left and I looked across the nearly empty library to see who the sleeping person was.
A smirk graced my lips when a familiar, short, black haired girl caught my eye.
I stood, grabbed my book and quietly walked over to the dozing girl.
I stood beside her suddenly had an idea. My smirk grew.
Three, two, one…
WHAM!
I dropped my book right next to her head.
"AHHH!!" Emi screamed and fell out of her chair and I held in a laugh.
She quickly jumped to her feet and spun around. She froze momentarily when she saw me but quickly regained composure.
I saw her eyebrows furrow and even though she wore those huge glasses I could still tell she was glaring at me as hard as she could.
"Why'd you do that!?"she hissed and pursed her lips in frustration.
I kept my usual poker face and pretended to act surprised. "What are you talking about? It wasn't me."
She looked around and quickly focused on me once more. "You're the only one here! Who else could have done it?"
I shrugged, still impassive. "A ghost?"
Emi only shook her head. "Nice try."
"You don't believe in ghosts?" I asked.
She smirked, as if she were thinking of a secret joke. "Oh don't get me wrong, I believe in ghosts, I just don't believe you."
I feigned a sad look and placed a hand over my heart. "You've hurt me Emi-chan," I said dramatically.
She looked at me for a while longer.
" 'Emi-chan?' " she asked with a raised eyebrow.
I tilted my head. "Too friendly?"
She was quiet for a moment before she continued.
"…No…I don't mind…However, I thought I was your rival. Are rivals supposed to be on friendly terms with each other?" she said with a small grin.
"You tell me," I said, going along with her.
"Hmmm…"
"What if I told you I only said that we were rivals just so i could tease you? If you haven't noticed, I have quite the reputation for teasing people," I stated mater-of-factly.
Silence.
"…Okay, Yasu-kun," she said and suddenly smiled warmly.
I felt my heart do a strange flip when I saw her smile…Her smile was…cute.
…
I was walking across campus as my head was full of the thoughts of a rather amusing and rather short nineteen year old girl. Emi and I had talked quite a bit over the last month and actually became close friends. I found out all sorts of things about her. Her favorite food was rice balls, her favorite movie was 'My neighbor Totoro' (yes childish yet cute all the same), her favorite colors varied day to day but she seemed to favor green and yellow the best.
She told me she was always teased on when she was young because of her short height and she also informed me that she barely had any friends, even now, because she was always either studying or reading. I even learned her favorite genre of literature, which was anything to do with the supernatural.
She had told me that whenever she had a bad day when she was young, her father would tell her just the right type of ghost story to make her feel better. He would tell her funny ones, suspenseful ones, and even bone-chilling ones.
It was then that I told her about my part time assistance at SPR and so forth. She listened with full attention and amazed expressions. I must admit, it felt refreshing and good to meet a girl who felt the same way about ghosts and the paranormal without them getting scared every two seconds and fainting. I was secretly happy for Emi's dad for telling her those stories when she was young…
Wait a minute…now that I mention it, I notice that Emi never really talks about her family. Whenever I bring anything up that has to do with her family she somehow distracts me…I wonder if-
"Yasuhara-kun!!" I heard a voice behind me.
I turned around to see Emi running towards me as fast as her short legs would carry her.
I smirked, turned back around, and kept walking the way I had been going.
"O-Oi! Yasuhara!" She was shocked.
I kept going.
"I know you can hear me!" She was getting irritated.
I put a 'thoughtful' finger to my chin. "Hmm, I wonder what that noise is. Must be the wind," I said loud enough for her to hear me.
"Ya-su-har-a! You're so mean!"
I chuckled and walked up to a nearby tree. I sat under it's blooming leaves on the opposite side of the trunk.
After a moment I could hear loud panting and tired, dragging footsteps.
The dark haired girl collapsed face down on the ground next to me, heaving for breath.
I pretended to be shocked and looked over at her. "Chibi-chan (Shorty/Midget)!! What happened to you? You look like you ran a marathon!"
She turned her head to glare at me. "I hate you."
I let out a soft laugh and helped her sit up. There was dirt smudged all over her clothes and face from lying on the ground. She straightened up and ran her hands down her short navy blue skirt, smoothing it out. She then continued smoothing down her large grey knitted sweater.
Once she finished she stuck out her chin and looked away from me.
After a moment of being given the 'silent treatment' I chuckled lightly. "Alright, alright, I'm sorry. What did you want to talk to me about?"
She kept her head turned away but I could tell she was looking at me under those glasses of hers.
A short silence later she pulled something out of her bag and handed it to me.
"A bento box?" I asked, slightly shocked.
Her pale cheeks took on a rosy hue and she turned away again. "W-Well I've noticed that you don't eat lunch. It's not healthy."
"Aw Emi-chan," I teased.
I heard her huff and I saw her lips twitch. "I-It's not as if I care or anything."
"Oh of course not," I smirked.
She started fidgeting under my teasing gaze.
Kami I love teasing her. She makes the most amusing expressions.
Looking away, I opened the bento box. "Oh."
Emi's head spun around, facing me. "What is it? Is there something you don't like in it? I mean, I was just guessing what types of food you liked so-"
I cut off her little rant by raising a hand.
I chuckled slightly. "It's not that. I was shocked that you actually knew what my favorite meal was."
I smiled at her and she blushed once again.
I felt a familiar warm fluttering feeling in my chest when I looked at her.
She looked away and ran a hand through her short loose hair and started braiding it into two pigtails.
She blushed again when she noticed I had been watching her the whole time and she quickly pulled out a book from her bag, trying to ignore me, and started reading.
"Thank you for the meal," I told her truthfully.
"…No problem."
After I finished the lunch I noticed the girl beside me had fallen asleep against the tree.
The thing that shocked me, however, was that she had taken her glasses off.
I wonder what color they are…
I debated waking her but instead I let her rest. She had been studying extra hard over the past week because exams were coming up in two months time. How she could study so much and continue with her social life was beyond me.
I sat next to her for a few hours, watching the clouds drift on by. I would occasionally glance over at the sleeping girl and would have to force myself to break my gaze; the colors of the setting sun danced on her skin making her look very cute, well...actually she looked quite beautiful.
Soon enough I felt my eyelids droop slowly but before I could fall asleep I heard the shorty next to me give a small yawn.
"Mm, Yasuhara-kun, did I fall asleep?" she asked, rubbing her closed eyes, making her seem like a sleepy child.
"Yes you did Chibi-chan!" I said with a smile, using a nickname I knew she got annoyed with.
She groaned and turned away from me. "Jeez, would you stop calling me that?"
"Why? It fits. You are short so me calling you 'Chibi-chan' is nothing but the truth," I smirked.
She reached up and smacked me upside the head. "Baka," she muttered.
She turned her head towards me and, for the first time I saw her true eyes without the glasses.
I couldn't break my gaze as I drowned in her large clover green orbs.
They were so bright, so breathtaking, with little specks of gold and chocolate brown here and there.
She blushed under my gaze and only then did I notice that I was staring at her.
"W-What are you looking at?" she stuttered. "Do I have something on my face?"
I finally took my eyes off of her and smiled. "No…I just noticed that this was the first time I've ever seen you without your glasses," I said truthfully.
Her eyes widened and then shifted down to look at the ground. "A-Are they weird looking? People are always telling me I have strange eyes."
I looked at her. "I think they're interesting."
She turned her head further away. "So they are weird then, aren't they?"
I shook my head and smiled reassuringly, she must have been teased about a lot of things when she was young. "Emi, I actually find them to be very pretty…don't…don't let anyone else tell you otherwise."
I saw her smile as she kept her gaze towards the now setting sun. "Thank you Yasu-kun…you're sweet, sure you can be a pain in the ass at times, but you're sweet none-the-less…so…thank you…"
She turned to face me and, suddenly, she placed a small kiss on my cheek before she blushed and stood.
"S-Sorry, I shouldn't have done that! I-I hope that didn't destroy our friendship!" she said shakily and quickly grabbed her bag before she ran as fast as she could towards the campus exit.
I was left, shocked, underneath the tree. My hand was subconsciously lightly touching the cheek the girl had pressed her lips against just seconds ago.

Do you guys like it so far? Yasuhara's probably OOC but hey, who really knows what goes on in his head, for all I know this is could probably be what he would actually think.
Anyway, there's going to be some MaixNaru later so I hope you guys continue reading!!
Does anybody want to help me think of an idea for a case they could go on?
Thanks,
