Hey everyonez! ;) this is a new fanfiction I'm working on. It was originally about Naru falling for one of my OC's but nobody was reading it so I deleted it and now I'm putting this one in its place. Enjoy!
Pairings: Mai/Naru, OC/Yasu, Ayako/Monk, Masako/John, Madoka/Lin
Chapter 1
Normal POV
"Naru, I'm going now!" Mai called from the front door of the SPR building. It was currently 5:00 but her shift doesn't end until 5:30.
Naru poked his head through the door to his office. "It's not time for you to go yet. You still have half an hour."
Mai gave him a pleading look and it looked like she was about to cry. For whatever reason she had, to try to get off work early, it was apparently important. The narcissist sighed in defeat and flicked his wrist towards the door as a sign for her to go. Once he did that she was flying out of the office, but not before shouting a quick 'thanks Naru' in his direction.
"What am I going to do with her?" he said to himself and retreated into his dark cave.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Mai was so happy she could cry. Well, she was already crying but still. She half expected Naru to tell her to get her butt back in there and make him some tea.
Once she arrived at her destination, her happy tears turned into ones of sorrow. Sitting in front of her, jutting up out of the ground were two grave stones that had her parent's names on them (I don't know their names XD but if you do please put them in a review). She sank to her knees and attempted to clear her vision with her sleeve but the tears just kept coming.
"Hey mom, dad." She chocked. "It's officially been ten years." Her voice cracked towards the end and she mentally scolded herself for being so damn emotional after all this time. She went into a long explanation over what happened in the last year. She had gotten good grades and made the honor roll. She told them of her joining SPR and meeting all her wonderful friends. She even told them about the slight crush she had on her boss. When she finished, she pulled a rose from seemingly out of nowhere and placed it on top of the joined grave stones. She stood up and stepped on a stick in the process. The sound resounded throughout the grave yard, causing a gust of wind behind her. She turned around just in time to see a shadow run and fly up to the top of the mausoleum nearby. From what she could make out of the dark silhouette, it was a person.
"It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you." Mai spoke softly.
The silhouette seemed to fidget at her words, but eventually jumped off and landed behind a tree.
"Sorry, I didn't know there was someone else here." The mystery girl spoke.
"It's ok. I thought I was alone too." Mai said.
The girl behind the tree finally stepped out and walked a little closer to Mai. She had jet black hair that ended at her mid-thigh with bangs that went a little past her eyes , big crystal blue orbs, and a petite but well developed figure. Despite her super model looks, she had a sickly pale look to her skin and ratty clothes with dirt stains and holes.
"I'm Midnight." She introduced.
"Mai."
They sat in an awkward silence for a while until Midnight interrupted it.
"I should get going."
"Wait Midnight!" Mai called without thinking. Midnight turned around and gave Mai a sweet smile. Mai smiled in return and continued on what she was going to say.
"Do you have a place to stay?"
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
So that's how Mai got a new roommate. Mai had offered a spare bedroom to her and Midnight accepted it. They had agreed that Midnight would not have to pay to stay there but they would combine their paychecks to pay for food and the bills. That is, when Midnight gets a job.
"Do you have any special talents?" Mai asked, trying to think of possible jobs for her black haired friend.
"Hmm. No not really. The only thing I'm good at is martial arts and throwing daggers." She replied.
Mai nodded at her statement and tried to think of jobs that would require kicking someone's ass and throwing sharp objects.
When Mai said nothing, Midnight suddenly asked, "Where do you work?"
Mai jumped at her voice, obviously not expecting her to speak.
"Oh, um I work at a place called Shibuya Psychic Research. SPR for short, but basically we check out haunted places and get rid of the spirits." She said.
Midnight was silent. She was all curious eyed until Mai got to the part about 'getting rid of the spirits.'
"Is something wrong?" Mai asked, not knowing the cause for her behavior.
"It's nothing, but not all spirits are bad you know." She said.
Mai then realized what she said and her eyes grew wide. Then she started to wave her hands in front of her franticly.
"NO NO! It's nothing like that. I meant we get rid of the harmful ones, the ones that disturb the peace." Mai specified.
Midnight let out a sigh of relief and seemed to relax again.
"Sorry." Midnight apologized. "It's just I know a couple of people who died and…" her voice trailed off at the end.
"And what?" Mai encouraged her to go on.
Midnight took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Well, if I'm going to tell you then I might as well tell you the whole story.
Midnight took another deep breath and started. "When I was born, I was the youngest of two other sisters. We were triplets. The oldest was Dawn, the middle child was Evening, and I was the youngest, Midnight. The reason my parents named us that is because of our hair color. Dawn's was as bright as the sun, it was a golden blond. Evening's was a nice warm brown to match the feeling of the sun set. And then there was me, hair black as night. But anyway our hair color was the only difference between us. We had the same eye color, same figure, same everything." Midnight smiled at the memory, but her face soon turned grim at what she was going to say next. "One day we found out that we were psychics. We loved being different, so it didn't bother us. We practiced and practiced every single day. But one night, a guy from school saw us practicing in our basement. He was scared that we were going to hurt people. So he took it into his own hands to stop us. When Eve and I were upstairs fixing up something to eat, the boy climbed in through the window and stabbed Dawn." Her voice broke and tears started to stream down her face. "I saw it happen through a vision when I touched her jacket. It was happening right when I had the vision. But I wasn't strong enough to pull myself out of it and go help her. So by the time the vision ended and I told Eve, it was too late. She was stabbed ten times." Her voice turned into a growl and things around the house started to shake. "My parents blamed me for not being strong enough to help her. So they threw me out." She calmed down a little bit when Mai laid a hand on Midnights shoulder. She breathed and started again. "Eve and I kept in touch through our telepathy and I found out that Dawn had become Eve's spiritual guide. I was happy for her, but I missed them so much. So one day, I decided to go see them. I snuck into the basement where they were and we were so happy to be together again. But my parents heard and when they came down stairs they were furious when they saw me. My mom got a kitchen knife and tried to charge at me but I moved out of the way." Her sobbing started again. "I wish I could say the same for Eve." Her breathing became uneven and her sobs shook her body. "My mother stabbed her and she didn't even care. She just tried to swing at me again and Again and AGAIN! I eventually got away but then my parents started to put up missing posters. They just wanted me back so they could finish me off." Her sobbing had stopped by now and her voice was calm. "But anyway, now they are both my spiritual guides."
Mai just sat there with tears in her eyes.
"You know," she started.
"I know how you feel."
Midnight looked at Mai with a 'yah right' look and Mai smiled sadly.
"I do."
"When I was in the graveyard today, I was visiting my parents. They died when I was six. We were going to my school play, and since it wasn't far we walked. We turned into an ally and we saw this guy standing there. Her pulled out a gun and shot my parents, for no reason at all. Then he just walked away." Mai let out tears of her own but continued. "I was bounced around from foster home to foster home, all having the same bratty kids. But because of my age, no one adopted me. I eventually became old enough to get a job and start living on my own so I ran away from the orphanage once I got enough money for an apartment. But not even a week after I was living on my own, I came home to see the terrible face of the man who murdered my parents. He apparently came back to kill me too. I screamed and luckily my next door neighbor was a cop so he got there pretty fast with a gun. He was taken into custody, but…" she swallowed her sobs so she could finish. "They couldn't find enough evidence to put him as the murderer for my parents. And he lied and said he was in my apartment because he got a call that I needed my drain fixed. Before I found him in my apartment, he clogged the drain on purpose so his story would check out. Then they just let him go." She looked at the window across from the couch they were sitting and just stared at it. "I'm still scared that he might come back." Her voice was a whisper and a fresh set of tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Mai and Midnight laughed.
"I can't believe I told you all of that. I never told anyone and I only met you a few hours ago." Mai said smiling.
"Yah me too." Midnight replied.
Someone cleared their throat near the door and both girls jumped up in surprise.
They turned around to see the face of none other than Naru. Naru held up a brown purse. "You left your purse at the office when you left in a hurry, I tried calling you but your phone must have been on silent." He explained with a new emotion glinting in his eyes.
"Naru!" she yelled in surprise. "How long were you standing there?" she asked nervously. Not wanting to make eye contact, she stared at her lap.
"Long enough." He said.
Mai's eye twitched at his answer and her ears blew steam from her anger. She shot up off of the couch and glared at her boss.
"What the hell kind of answer is that!" she shouted. Midnight stared at her with wide eyes and Naru raised an eye brow at her.
Mai then realized what she said and she immediately fell back on the couch with a soft thud.
"I'm sorry, talking about these things kind of makes my emotions go out of control." She said sheepishly.
Naru rolled his eyes at his assistant and set her purse down on the small table that was beside the door.
"Just both of you be at the office by eight o'clock, and don't be late." He said, walking out of the door and closing it behind him.
Midnight just blinked and Mai smiled.
"I guess that means you have a job now." Mai said, nudging the other girl.
"Then that also means that he was there long enough to hear that I needed a job." She said grimly.
"Then that means…" Mai's voice trailed off and she turned her head slowly to the door.
"He heard everything." They both said.
"NARU!" they shouted.
Their black haired boss walking out to his car heard them and he smirked. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

So what do you think? Did you like it? This was originally a Naru/OC and a Mai/Yasu with a completely different story line and OC but nobody was reading it and I kind of figured it was because Naru was with an OC so I changed it. Now it's something completely different and I actually like this better than my other one. XD until next time! That's when they get their first case, and trust me, I'm going to try to make it as scary as possible! MWAHAHAHA *cough cough*. It would mean so much to me if you review!
:3 MEOW!
