What If...?

Hey guys as i promised i updated!

What if Mai got pulled by the spirit after she saved Ayami? What if Naru was there when it happened?What if it was actually winter and most of the lake was frozen?

Mai's POV

It was the middle of Winter and the lakes surface was frozen the water must be icy cold by now, and Ayami-chan just tripped and fell in.I guess she was too heavy because the ice broke beneath her!

I quickly dived into the lakes icy cold water and quickly resurfaced and looked for Ayami-chan. How could Minnie do something like this to Ayami? She's just a innocent little girl.

I shivered and my teeth chattered because it was so cold but I had to save Ayami!

I heard a familiar voice "Mai!"

I ignored it.

" Ayami-chan!?"

The girl resurfaced for a quick few second before going under again.

" Ayami!" I screamed and dived underwater after her.

I quickly grabbed her and resurfaced.

" Mai are you alright?!" I looked up to find Naru staring at me in his gaze I thought I saw worry before he quickly hid it behind his mask.

" I'm fine Naru I said as I handed Ayami who was in tears over to Noriko-san who was so relieved.

Saying that i'm fine was such a lie i'm freezing and I can barely feel anything cause it was so cold all I could feel well was the cold.

" Sissy! " Ayami cried and hugged Noriko who comforted her in return.

" It's ok now Ayami it's ok " I smiled and my eyes widened slitly and I smiled again as I saw Naru's hand.

" Hurry Mai we don't have all day and you're not here to swim " he stated while looking at me.

I fumed in anger why that! But I decided to let it slip and as I reached for his hand...

I froze.

" Mai? What's wrong." Naru said.

" Naru... there's a hand on my ankles." I said in fear. I saw Naru's eyes widen in realization and he reached to grab my hand.

I was jerked away and under the lake water.

" NARU!"

I struggled against the force that was pulling me under to no avail. No... I can't hold my breathe for much longer... Naru help! I thought.

I ran out of air and my mouth opened only to be met with my lungs getting filled my water.

Was this how I was going to die?

No... I don't want to!

In a last attempt I struggled and I finally felt the hands let go, but I was out of energy and my eyes were slowly closing.

Naru... I thought and as my eyes closed I saw a figure in black swimming towards me.

I let out a small smile before darkness engulfed me.

Naru's POV

I quickly ran towards the sound of Noriko-san's scream and saw Mai jump into the lake that was obviousely frozen and obviousely icy cold to save Ayami.

THAT IDIOT!

" Mai! " I yelled as I ran towards the lake. She ignored me much to my displeasure.

I saw Ayami resurface for a mere second and saw Mai dive after her.

" LIN !" I yelled to my assistant who was inside.

I was going to yell for again him when Mai resurfaced from the water and swam toward the lakes shore much to my relief.

I quickly put on my mask to hide that I was ever even worried.

After she handed Ayami who was cold and shivering to Noriko-san who proceeded to comfort Ayami and take her inside to warm her up.

I gave Mai my hand and wiated for her to take it.

" Hurry Mai we don't have all day and you're not here to swim " I said while looking at she was reaching for my hand she froze and her eyes widened in fear.

I quickly grew worried and asked " What's wrong Mai."

" Naru there are hands on my ankles" she whispered in fear. I eyes widened in realization and I reached to grab her hand but I was to late.

Mai was jerked away from me and pulled under the lake the last thing I heard was

" NARU!" Mai screamed before being pulled under.

I acted quickly and took off my jacket before diving into the icy cold water after my Mai.

It was slightly dark in the lake and I had trouble seeing I did I quickly swam after her and I noticed her eyes slowly closing on me and she must of seen me because she let out a small smile before her eyes totally closed.

That idiot! Why would she smile in this situation!?"

I quickly swam to her and grabbed her before taking her to the surface where the rest of SPR were staring at the water worried.

" Naru! Mai!" Matsuzaki-san , Takigawa , Brown-san , Hara-san and Lin yelled as they saw me resurface with Mai.

Lin helped me and Mai's unconcious body out of the water.

I checked to see if she was breathing and my heart stopped she was barely alive. I quickly started to perform CPR. Dammit Mai don't leave me I need you, SPR needs you, I need your tea for goodness sakes.

I put my lips on hers and breathed air into her lungs while using my hands and pumping the area her heart was.

Mai's eyes flew open after a minute and she started coughing and gasping for air.

" Mai thank god your ok!" Matsuzaki-san yelled in relief I looked at them and saw all the relief expressions on their faces. Did they honestly think I was going to let her die?

I held her in my arms princess style and quickly took my jacket that was on the ground and drapped it over her before quickly rushing towards the house.

"Turn on the heat in the base and get a lot of blankets!" I commanded.

" Matsuzaki-san change her out of the wet clothes" I also commanded as I set her into the room that she and Matsuzaki were staying in before leaving and changing out of my own wet clothes.

After I changed I splashed some hot water on my house and proceeded to go to where Mai is.

Dammit Mai why do you always do something stupid and get yourself injured or hurt.

" As I approached the room, Matsuzaki-san opened the door and was supporting Mai in her arms."

I looked at her and nodded before taking Mai and carrying her in my arms and proceeded to the base.I noticed that the heat indeed was on and that there were a stack of blanket on the ground next to the couch.

As I entered with Mai in my arms they, being SPR, all stared and I returned their gaze with a glare.

" Don't you all have something to do?" I said harshly.

" But Mai..." Takigawa said.

" I will be looking after Mai you go do your jobs " I said nonchantly not even meeting their gaze.

They all looked at each other before sighing and proceeding to go do their jobs.

" Thanks Naru" Mai said weakly.

" You wouldn't have to thank me so much if you would stop being a danger magnet I replied and smirked at seeing her reaction.

I sat down on the couch and placed Mai in my arms much to her embarrassment.

" Naru what are you doing!?" she exclaimed her facing turning red like a rose.

" Getting us both warm" I replied while moving into a position where I was lying down with Mai's body in my arms. I started putting some blankets on us.

" What are you talking about!? You can go huddle in a blanket alone and I was the one who drowned in that cold lake!" she argued much to my annoyance did she already forget SOMEONE had to dive in and save her.

" Mai since you obviously forgot i'll remind you after you got pulled in by the spirit I had to dive in after you and save you. I also had to perform CPR on you." I replied.

I watched as her face turned even a brighter shade of red as she realized that I had to perform CPR which meant I had to basically kiss her.

" But- but that doesn't mean that you have to be under the same blankets as me!" she screamed and I silenced her with one my glares.

" We're both going to get warmer faster since it's both of our body head combined Mai besides you should be happy every girl with good taste would be dying to even touch me let alone "cuddle" with me under blankets on a couch" I said smirking.

" You narcisscist!" she screamed much to my pleasure her reactions were always the best.

After a few moments of silence she finally gave up and relaxed into my arms and even snuggled up.i smirked.

" I'm sorry if I worried you" she muttered.

" Mai what were you thinking you could've died if I didn't jump in on time."

"Noriko-san would've called for help"

" The others wouldn't have made it on time to save you." I replied before sighing.

" Just don't do anything that stupid in the future " I said I looked down at her only to find her asleep her face snuggled into my chest.

I smiled and kissed her forehead.

End of What If chapter 1

So... what did you think? This took place during the Ghost Hunt series except for you know the season and time change. Was Naru too out of character? I feel as though he might be because it's before they're a couple in my story and it was only their second case together I'm pretty sure. Please do tell me although I like the idea that Naru liked her from the beginning you could for the continuation I have decided it will be after this one.I already have a scenerio for the next What If so be expecting it soon!
