We all know I don't own Ghost Hunt. And I admit it

"I

"I...," no response.

"I'm …" not even a glance.

"I'm leaving!"

He nodded.

"I meant I'm leaving this job."

Almost empty look and one little raised eyebrow was all Mai got from Naru. Like a form of question: „Why?" Or maybe she just hoped he would want to know. Mai turned her eyes to window, so she wouldn't meet his eyes.

"I know that's it's been almost 5 years now, and I'm studying, and yes I really, really like this job but…." How could se tell him that it was getting too hard for her, his coldness and stress and pain she got in every case they where on. After last one she couldn't sleep for 3days. She was exhausted but Naru didn't see that., or pretended not to see it, but result was the same.

"I'm sorry Naru. I'm just too tired of all this" She looked down in the floor, so Narus cold piercing gaze couldn't meet her eyes.

He was still looking at her.

"And I got a job offer."

-So there is no need to be concerned about me. Ha if that would ever happen-she thought.

"Naru," she raised her eyes, "can I live?"

"It's all up to you. You decide what to do with your life." He replied.

Mai got angry. Did she really hoped, even only about a split of second, that he would try to stop her?

-You, damned, pitiful narcissist!

She closed doors of Naru office behind her, and stunned seeing surprised looking Lin.

"Is that true?" he asked. "That you are leaving us."

Mai was surprised. First – he had heard her conversation with Naru, but that could be explained by not closed doors, but second – in his eyes where not only surprise, but sadness, it seamed as if he wanted to say "Please, say that I'm mistaken."

"Ah, sorry, I didn't overhear it intentionally, I just wanted a cup of coffee, so I came in to ask for one, and the door where open, so I just heard it."

"It's ok Lin-san, and that's true that I'm leaving. I got job offer through university. It's some sort of paperwork, but I think I can manage it. After all I'll be doing the same as here." Her smile was filled with some bit of sadness.

"And Naru didn't object. Not even a bit." Teary note sang in her voice. "So soon I'll be gone."

"I t will be hard without you" Seemed that Lin spoke of bottom of his heart.

"Thank you Lin-san. So should I make you coffee?"

"That would be nice, thank you."

After one month Mai left SPR and started working at firm, which had found here through university, in need to organize they papers.

So I hope to some reviews. Say me all truth. (Because then I can try to improve)
