I do not own Ghost Hunt or the characters...
As regards to this fanfic - "Please be gentle. It's my first time."
It was the first day of the summer vacations and Mai uttered a quiet sigh as she poured over the textbook in front of her. The pretty brown haired girl muttered to her self as she tried to memorize some of the longer and more complicated theories in the book. She soon became conscious of someone staring at her. She started when she realized that the person sitting next to her was none other than Naru. She stared in shock at her dark haired former boss who acted as if his sudden appearance was nothing out of the ordinary.
"What are you doing here?" she hissed trying not to attract the attention of the librarian.
"Lin is in hospital and I need a replacement," he said simply.
Mai opened her mouth to make an excuse but before she could say anything he was making his way to the exit. Mai blinked, gathered up her books and followed him.
"Slow as always," commented Naru as he stood outside the steps of the library. His intense blue eyes watched as Mai struggled to balance the pile of books in her arms. He sighed and took the top half of the pile.
"Thanks," she muttered grudgingly, "but I could have handled it by myself."
"Is that so?" he asked as he moved to tip the books back into her arms but stopping at the last moment. "How long will it take you to prepare for a two week trip?"
Mai gaped at him, "Two weeks?"
"It is your summer vacation after all."
"Naru, are you insane? I haven't seen or heard from you for over four years and you expect me to be at your beck and call?"
"Why ever not?"
She stared at him in astonishment, he seemed to have become more impossible than ever. Her thoughts were cut short by the insistent vibration of her cell phone in her pocket. She glared at him as she answered her cell.
"Hello? Mai?" asked Monk-san.
"Monk-san!" she declared smiling when she heard the voice of her old friend. Noticing Naru looking at her she stopped smiling and scowled at him.
"Mai, I bet Naru is being as difficult as usual. Please pay him no heed and come along. It will be just like old times! Even John is coming!" This possibility of a reunuion was certainly an appealing thought.
"Well…" she said as she looked at Naru who was looking directly at her.
Naru rolled his eyes and took the phone away from her, "It's useless. Poor girl doesn't look like she's up for the challenge anyway," he said as he ended the call.
Mai bristled at his overbearing know-it-all attitude. He needed to be taught a good lesson and she decided that she was the person up to the task. Mai looked him straight in the eye and said, "Give me half an hour to pack."
