Me: this is my first fanfic, please don't be too harsh. I'll accept friendly criticism to help in the future.
That person next to me: Mynameiszigzag doesn't own Ghost Hunt…or Mai and Naru would be together…
"North Carolina?" Mai asked.
"Yes, Mai, Can't you read?" Kazuya, aka Naru, smirked.
"Whatever, you narcissistic pig." Mai huffed.
Ayako and Takigawa had just arrived and were watching the scene with wonder and amazement.
"How are they always fighting?" Takigawa asked.
"I don't know. I'm surprised Lin hasn't locked them in the same room yet." Ayako laughed.
"I have been tempted to." Lin mumbled, walking up behind them with Masako, Yasuhara, and John in tow.
"Why haven't you?" Masako asked. She had gotten over Naru when it became obvious that he like Mai. Now, she was trying to get the two together.
"Because, unlike you guys, I have self control. But, don't tell anyone I gave you this idea, talk to Madoka, and she'll get those two together." Lin smirked and walked past them, to get Mai and Naru to stop making a scene.
The others, minus John, looked at each other evily, forming an unspoken plan.
On the plane…
Mai was asleep, Naru was reviewing the case, Lin was on his laptop (obviously), John was reading an airplane magazine, and the others were silently whispering their plan. Naru kept glancing their way, hoping to catch a glimpse of their conversation. Lin leaned over to the young boss.
"You're better off not knowing." Lin whispered.
"Why?" Naru glared at the Chinese onmyoji.
"Just trust me." He glanced at Mai, then back at Naru.
"I'd prefer it if my employees didn't keep secrets from me." Naru said, just loud enough for them to hear.
"And what if we're talking about something personal?" Masako asked, looking around Takigawa. She was seated with him and Ayako, with Yasuhara and John in front of them.
"If it will interfere with the case, you'd be better off not talking about it." Naru settled back into his seat and continued reading the case file for the thousandth time.
"Ne, Naru, what is the case about," Came a sleepy voice from the window seat. Mai had just woken up and was stretching, without hitting him.
"A high school in Clayton has just built a gym on campus. There have been sounds of construction beams falling, then someone crying out in pain, coughing, then, nothing. There have been sightings of a fourteen year old blonde walking around and pestering one student. She had a personal connection with the ghost from the reports. We don't know her name. She is in tenth grade and in color guard. She doesn't have any friends and all the teachers apparently hate her. She has a sister named Carol, also in color guard. No one knows what classes she has or her interests. This girl is like a universal polar opposite. She can often be seen having conversations with the ghost. Sometimes, thought, when the ghost isn't there, she is seen having conversations with nothing. According to the client, her gym teacher, if you look close enough, there is a little black orb following her." Naru closed the file and put it in his carry on. He faced Mai, who was looking out the window. He tapped her shoulder, "Did you have…a..." He sighed as she turned over and rested her head on his shoulder, fast asleep, "Of course." Lin grabbed a blanket from the overhead compartment and unfolded it, passing it to Naru. He then proceeded to cover Mai, who was shivering because she had turned her ac all the way up. He reached up and turned it down. She stopped shivering and pulled the blanket around her. Naru sighed and got comfterable. This was going to be a long flight.
Once the others quieted asleep, Lin closed his laptop. He looked over to find Ayako, Masako, and Takigawa asleep. John was reading a book that he had brought. Lin couldn't see Yasuhara, so he didn't know if he was asleep or not, but judging from the lack of noise Lin guessed he was. Lastly, he looked next to him. Naru must have raised the armrest because Mai was comfortably curled up at his side. Naru had one arm around her waist, his head on hers, and the other was around her shoulders. He was also asleep.
They are perfect for each other, Lin thought, before drifting off to sleep.
Me: that's it! Chapter one, done! Next chapter is about the mystery girl, not the ghost, sorry.
That person next to me: we are having a vote as to which SPR member, minus Naru and Takigawa, this mystery girl should end up with. Contest will be over when chapter 3 is posted. VOTE! Review please.
Me: What he(or she) said…
