Dreams
"Talking"
'Thoughts'
Mai's POV:
Hi! I'm Mai Taniyama, 16 year old ghost hunter. Or at least in Japan. Ya see, I am a world famous martial artist. Yes, sweet ol' me is a fighter. And , since I have no name (if that makes sense), I am called the Fan Fighter. My identity is secret. I dress so nobody can tell what I look like. I fight with so much grace that the 3 people who know what I look like are doubting that it is me. Mai Taniyama: the klutz. Fan Fighter: the graceful martial artist. And yet, we are one in the same, but so different at the same time. Crap, I'm late! Oh, shit! Naru's gonna be furious!
Naru's POV:
She's late. Again. As usual. Just as that thought finishes running through my head, I hear the door open. "Gomen! It seems it was my turn to do classroom cleanup today." 'Hmm. Should I call for tea? Yeah. Her face when she's mad is so adorable. Wait. Did I just call my assistant... adorable? Oh, well.' "Mai, tea!" I shout. "Hai, hai!" Is the reply I get. About 15 minutes later I have tea on my desk and Mai waiting for a thank you which is never gonna come. "Mai, call the others, we have a case." I say. She starts leaving my office muttering profanities under her breath. "Care to repeat that?" I ask her, watching her face as she blushes in anger. "No thank you, your royal pain in the-" "Mai don't forget who sign's your paycheck every week" 'Wait for it... Wait for it... Now!' "YOU NARCISSISTIC, EGOTISTICAL, SELF-ABSORBED JERK!" she yells stomping out of my office. 'There we go' I think while smirking. But as soon as she leaves, I realize my tea has gone cold. "Mai, tea!" "You get it!" "If you don't make the tea, then what do I pay you for." '3...2...1...' "YOU DAMN NARCISSUS!" She yells at me while starting to call the others.
TIME SKIP
"Great. Now that everybody is here, I can start speaking about the new case we have. It was requested my a friend of Lin's , it's in China, at a martial arts dojo. If any of you know anything about the dojo's, it's called Zhàn dou zhī xīng which means Fighting Star. A-" "Did you just say Fighting Star?" Mai asked shakily. "Yes, I did. Why do you ask? Are you stupid AND deaf?" " No, I am not. Now I would appreciate it if you stopped calling me stupid, báichī." At that last word Lin laughed. I gave him a look to ask why, but he just ignored me. "Ni shénme shíhou kaīshi shuō zhōngguó huà?" Lin asked, in which Mai replied "Wo de niánlíng. Wo cōngmíng bí nàgè báichī rènwéi wo shì." And Lin laughed again. 'What are they saying?' I cant help but wonder. "Shì de, ni shì xhāngdāng cōngmíng de shuō rìben hé zhōngguó." I clear my throat, succesfully getting the attention back to the matter at hand. "Xièxiè" Mai said quickly, finishing her and Lin's conversation. "Now, back to the original topic, these files contain information about the case." I state while passing out folders to everyone. Everyone flips through the pages, but Mai isn't seeing. She's looking, but she's not seeing. 'Hmm. I'm going to have to ask her about that later' I mentally note. Then I spread photographs on the table in front of us and explain them. I can't help but notice that when I get to one that has something written on the wall in Chinese and a hand fan next to it, both Lin and Mai gasped. I ask Lin to translate, but he seem's to spaced out and, is that... anger? Same with Mai, just without the angry, when I ask her. 'What is up with them now?' I wonder. I've been doing that a lot recently, I realize. "Lin! Mai! One of you two translate." I say, successfully pulling them from their trance like state of mind. "It means..." Mai started and Lin finished "'Let us battle, my sweet Fan Fighter'." "Who is this 'Fan Fighter' you speak of?" Asked Bou-san. "Here's the thing, nobody knows anything except she is a girl and world famous everywhere except Japan." John stated.
Mai's POV:
When Naru showed us that picture the only thing going through my mind was 'Dammit! My identity is going to be revealed' I started to panic mentally, but i didn't show it on my face. I just zoned out to prevent the others from noticing. That's when Naru got my attention again.
Lin's POV:
The moment Naru showed the photograph, I froze and zoned out. Then I got angry because I was beaten by her in a duel. And it was in the last battle for the title! I lost to a girl half my size! And I was using a friggen' katana! My katana vs. that girls hand fan. And she won! How it that possible! And then, when she beat me, she had the audacity to help me up! Argh! Naru snapped me out of my thoughts.
Naru's POV:
After I finished explaining the case I told them the flight leaves at 10:00, let them go home and pack and told them to get here at 9:00 am and not be late (A/N: if you hadn't noticed that was directed at Mai).
