A/N this is my first fanfic

I do not own ghosthunt but I do own this story.

This story was inspired by the story regret from living you of ghost hunt

Things that italicize is a thought


A sunny day when she arrives at her work, naru scold at her due of being late again. it's almost a year when she become a assistant of a ghost hunter, she love her job of course, and she also love her boss even though he always pissed her off, even though she always makes nth times of tea for him and even though he show's that he didn't care for her. Mai sigh for that thought when the office bell rings.

It 's a delivery man, holding a not so large box and folders on the other hand. She knows that all of it is for naru, things that he needs for his personal case. I wonder what it is? While receiving the box and folders she notice that there is also a letter which is address to her.

She deliver first the box and folder to naru's private office and make his precious tea before she open the letter. She sit on her personal desk and tear it open. It was a letter from the bank, stating that her parents house will be on there hands if she cannot pay it on time. She almost forgot about that, she knew it for so long, she can't do anything about it. Her mom put it on a mortgage after her father died, but she also died not paying a cent to get it back, now the bank gave a notice that they will get it. What should I do? My salary is only exact to my necessary expense, rent, food, school, and other necessities; I still did not pay naru his camera. i admit my salary here in SPR is enough to support me, not like before, I need to get a 3 job at a time to make it enough for me. But how am I going to get our house back? That house is so important to me. Should I talk to naru? No! he will pressure me to pay back if I ask him for help. I need to find a job.

She stand up and get the today's news paper and turn to the pages were the classified ads are looking for a good part time job, but sadly she can't find a job that can pay her a hundred grand. Losing hope, she dialed the phone number of her friend.

"hello" said of the other person in the line

"hi, michiru"

"Mai!"

"uhm, michi, I would like to ask if the vacant job in your fast food restaurant is still available?" she asked hopingly to hear a good answer.

"Sorry, mai that vacancy is open last 3 months ago and someone got the job already. What's wrong, did you lost your job?"

"No! I still got my job, I just need another source of income" and mai tell her friend her problem about her parents house.

"I see, sorry can't help you about that, why don't you find a work at the tonari street, I'm sure in a couple of days you will get your needed amount or more to pay your house" her friend laugh "I'm sorry I'm just joking. Sorry mai, I really like to help you but the money that you need is so high.

She already hang up the phone but still thinking for a solution. Tonari street, I'm not that desperate. Even it's a joke but still, she's right, but is that the last option? Why not? But why should I try asking help to bou-san? To ayako? To john? To masako? To lin-san? And to naru? No! no, no. can' t be. Fine! I'm decided I will try to find a job even I become a prostitute. The house is more important than myself. That house contain all my happy memories, I would not let anything to take it away from me.


At tonari street

6pm a time were the life of tonari street started, where, pub, clubs, bar, anything that operates at night you can find it here.

"Want to have some beer with us darling?" shout of a old man at her.

While walking everyone is staring at her, someone whistling, someone getting her attention, someone laughing.

"are you lost my dear?" a woman who is looks like in her late 40's ask her. eyeing her from head to foot. Criticizing her wearing a school uniform.

"No, I'm looking for a job?" she replied nervously.

The woman's eyes turn rounded. "You mean here?" the woman feels lucky to hear that mai is looking for a job.

Mai nod.

"I'm hiring for one, are you interested?" the woman smile

She smiles back. The woman takes her inside of a dim lit club.

"By the way may name is tsukiko, I am the owner of this club. And you are-?"

"Mai, Taniyama Mai"

"Mai, how old are you dear?"

"16, but I'm turning 17 in a month after next" Mai assured her

"Lovely, what makes you to work here?"

Mai tell her what her true agenda is. And the woman felt sympathy.

"I would like you to meet my brother, the co-owner of this club, kiyonaga!" tsukiko called a guy who looks in his early 40's wearing a suit.

"this is Mai, she wants to work here" she said at him

" wow" he looks at her, examining her whole body. Then she looks at her sister

"16 turning 17" tsukiko said to his brother

Kiyonaga turn back his eyes to Mai, "she's so young, her skin is soft, she's cute", he hold mai's arm using "she looks delicious". He looks again at his sister.

"Innocent" tsukiko said and he nods for agreement and told mai the expecting salary.

Mai eyes got widen. Michiru was right, in a couple of days she can earn the needed money for paying her parents house if she works here.

"You can start tomorrow be here at 7" tsukiko said and mai bid goodbye to her. But before she can leave the place kiyonaga call her name.

"uhm, sir?"

"Wear your uniform tomorrow, ok? And wear tick glasses and bring stuff toy" that's all he said and leaves her.

"such a lunatic pervert hmp!" but she fell on a deep thought "I will become prostitute, I need do this to save our family house, even I need to exchange it with my soul. I don't care anymore.

Next day

"Here's your tea naru" she said softly to her boss who is busily reading a file, he raise his head to be surprise when he sees her. why wouldn't he surprise, when he sees mai in her uniform, of course he always see mai wearing her uniform but this one is unusual, she tuck in her blouse and raise the skirt higher than her waist that makes it more shorter. Her skirt, which is usually above the knee, is now in the length up to the middle of her thighs, she also wears thick eyeglasses that make her looks more innocent with a pink lip balm. She's so cute and sweet like a candy.

"N..Naru, he get back to his self when he heard her say his name, I want to say something, uhm, I'm having a part time job. And it will start on this day, I'm saying this so that you're aware, and also that both of us can adjust to time."

"Fine, but what is your part time job?"

"uhm, I am a service crew in a 24 hour mini store."

"And why do you need a part time job? Am i not paying you enough?"

"No! I just want to buy something for myself, yes I want to buy something" Mai can't look into his eyes.

Naru smirk.
