Case File: Black Lagoon
Chapter One: Unexpected Storm
Mai POV
"Ah, this is so great, the air feels so crisp," I yelled, stretching my arms above my head, feeling the ocean breeze brush against my skin, feeling my hair moving swiftly due to the strong winds, watching the soft waves hitting the ship..
"We are here for a case, not for a vacation," I heard on my right, a cold crisp voice.. I signed, rubbing my temples.
"You sure know how to spoil the mood don't' ya.. Can't I just pretend? Ever since you've returned, we haven't had a break.. So please, do me a favor and let me feel as though I am on a vacation, even for five seconds." I scolded, placing my hand on the railing of the ship, tighten my hand.
"While it doesn't affect our case," he just simply replies to me calmly. I stare at Naru, feeling my heart beating hard..
'Its been six months since he returned.. And yet.. Feels like nothing has changed.. None stop cases and my school, nothing more.. We haven't even spoken about what happened last year.. Now that I'm eighteen.. I feel.. I'm not sure.. I can say that he has changed though.. He's taller, his hair slightly longer, but not as long to reach his ears, but soft. His eyes are deeper than ever, and his baby fat almost gone, but not just yet..' shaking slightly from my thoughts.. I felt a shadow hovering over me.. I snapped my eyes open to raise them, to see Naru bend an inch, with his cold black eyes scanning me..
My cheeks redden at the sudden closeness, as my heart skips a beat..
"Err, Naru?" I trembled a little, he leans a little closer, still his eyes don't move from my own eyes. Then he stretched out his hand, slowly he moves it up to reach my hair. My heart now beating over time, as I can practically feel his breath against my skin.
'Is he going?' I thought, biting my lower lip, a yearning hits me, to have him kiss me.. What would that feel like? I haven't kissed anyone before; either I'm stupid or my feelings didn't fade. I want to kiss him.. Closing my eyes, nervously waiting, I heard him clear his throat.
"Poop," he whispers.. I snapped my eyes open, to realize that he was looking at his hand, seeing some white goo..
"Huh?"
"Bird poop," he whispers, making my eyes widen..
"What?" I asked, not understanding the situation.
"A bird pooped in your hair.. Didn't you feel it?" He asks absent mindly, as though he wasn't even grossed out. Now my eyes widen triple fold..
"Oh no!" I squealed in embarrassment, touching my upper head, to feel the goo,
"On no, this is embarrassing," turning around, I headed downstairs, near the upper deck, avoiding Lin, as he came up the stairs.
"Mai?" he asks, confused, arching a brow..
"Poop, how embarrassing," rush my words, slamming the brown door behind me. Turning my gaze towards the small bed on my right, I watch it wobble a little, and the red covers fit the room perfectly..
I turned towards my left, and went up to the bathroom, slamming once against the door, turning on the faucet, and glance at the mirror, to see a goo in my hair.. I groaned, watching my face turning red.
"Oh no, this is not happening.. Stupid bird.." I groaned, shaking my head..
'I can't face him now..' turning around to turn on the shower.. A sudden odd chill ran down my spine, while I felt a little bump on the ship.
"Why is this case, making me uncomfortable?"
Naru POV
"What happened to Mai? I didn't catch what she meant?" Lin questions, as he stands next to me, watching the small waves hit the ship..
I lifted my hand, to show him.
"A bird confused Mai hair for a toilet apparently.. She got embarrassed, rather amusing," I told him, smiling softly.. Lin stares at me for a brief second.
"You seem more at ease since you came back from England, especially when your near Mai," he whispers the last part, but I just ignored it..
"Either way, the others will come tomorrow, since this case was last minute," he announced.. Turning around, heading for the stairs to wash my hands, a slight bump in the ship caused me to wobble a little.
"Its okay.. We will just expect the place and set up the equipment, tonight we start an investigation and see how that goes.. Since the only thing I know about this case is that the villagers want this ghost out of the village. In Iwo Jima Island."
"Don't you think is strange that you get this call at the last minute, and you accept it? Why is the real reason?" He crosses his arms, staring down at me.
"Easy, the mystery behind it.. You know how much I love mysteries.." I bluntly told him to go down the stairs.
Upon reaching the last step, a sudden chill ran down my spine. Not liking it at all.
"What was that?" I mumbled to myself, shaking it off, I reach out for the doorknob, and opened the door. Entering the small room, with one bed on the side, in covers red, I took notice two white gloves on top of the bed. Going up to it, I took it. Eyeing it, it seems old fashion, with a rip on the thumb part..
"Is this Mai?" asking myself, I heard the door behind me open..
"Naru, what are you doing here?" Mai asks.. Turning around, I lifted my hand.
"Washing my hands, did you place this two gloves are they yours? I don't remember you packing it?" Since I have been sure of what to bring for this case.. Mai reaches up to me, with a towel in her hair, her red cheeks turns crimson even more Advoiding my sight. I enjoy that a little too much.. She's embarrassed.
"No.. They weren't there a few minutes ago and surely they are not mine." Mai reached out to touch the gloves, then a sudden movement from the ship cause Mai and me to stumble forward, making me fall on top of her for the mistake.. I heard her groan, as I took hold of myself, using my arms. Yet that didn't stop my heart from beating hard against my chest.
'She's small,' I thought, not sure why I thought that.
Her hair is slightly longer, pass her ears, but not as much, lighter brown, a little chubby on her cheeks, but not much, skinny as always, with a creamy skin color, she looks more... I have no words to place it yet.. Her eyes seem to haunt me a lot lately.. She's been haunting me since I left for England.. I hate that.
"Are you okay?" I asked, looking down.. She glances up at me, her face heating up so much that I think she was about to steam out from her ears..
"Yes, can you get off?" her voice trembled a little.. Then I heard the door slam open.
"Guys, a storm!" Lin storms into the room, but stop arching a brow, from the simple fact that I haven't left, I was just staring at Mai as she did the same..
'Everytime I stare at her eyes, I feel as though I loose myself.. Why is that? Why do you make me feel so weird, ever since I left.. You planted that in my head.. I'm not Gene replacement.' a bitter thought crosses my thought.. Is actually more like a lingering haunting thought that hasn't left me for a year now.
"Err, yeah storm." he whispered, clearing his throat, turning around.. I groaned, moving away from Mai..
"Storm? How, if the news said is going to be clear today.." Mai argues, leaning on her forearms.
"It came from nowhere, we need to stay down here, the captain suggested.." Lin explains, turning to face us. I signed, getting a headache already.
Without a word, I move my feet heading up the stairs passing Lin.. I heard Lin groaned, as Mai did the same.
"He is stubborn, no hope for him." I heard Mai argue, following me.. Reaching the main deck, turning around, I lifted my gaze to see the once blue sky dark as night, with the winds trashing hard.. I had to hold onto the pole on my right, so I won't tumble onto the floor.
"Oh my God," I heard Mai gasp out, as soon she reach my side.. Lin takes a hold of her shoulder, to steady her.
"Go back in, it's dangerous," I order, but Mai lifted her gaze at me, her hair covering her face.
"Oh like you hear your own advice, I think we should help the captain, I mean this is just not right.. Something is not right here." she whispers, noticing fear cross her brown eyes. Sighing, I moved, to head for the captain's deck, only to have the ship once again go forcefully against something, making me fall into the ground..
"This is not my day apparently," I whispered, rubbing my now aching knee.. Then I heard Mai yell.
"No Mai duck!" Lin screams.. I lifted my gaze, only to see one of the flag poles snapping out of place, swinging in her direction. Which is not possible. I stood immediately, running towards her.. Then it was too late, it knocked Mai right out of the boat, since she moved closer to the edge..
"Ahh, Naru!" I heard her scream my name.. Rushing my steps, I reach the edge, and look down, to see Mai holding onto the edge of the railing for her life.. Lin reaches me, as I took a hold of her hand. With tears now running down her cheeks, she glances up, taking a hold of my own hand.
"Hold on," I told her,
"Where do you think I'll go to? Please just pull me up.. I don't want to die.. Please." she begs, her voice is in fear.
"Do you trust me?" I asked her, looking down at her eyes. Mai stares at me, nodding.
"You may be a jerk, and sometimes do things, you shouldn't but yes.. Why does..." but she stops talking when her eyes widen.
"Err, something is holding on my foot.. Ahh!" she screams in fear.. I felt her being tugged, as my own body is pulled down as well.
"Lin, I think there's a spirit down there, use your Shiki" I order him. Lin nods, without questions, and I felt his Shiki's surround us, but no use, the more he uses, the more Mai is being tugged. I took a hold of the railing, while I felt Lin take a hold of my shoulders, pulling as hard as he could, but no use, since I'm loosing her grip..
Then it starts to rain hard, heavy drops, making the hold on Mai impossible.
"No!" I hissed, trying to hold my hold on her.. Then one more tug, our hands disconnect.
"NARU!" she screams, watching in horror as she hits, the vast waters, without a hesitation, I turned around looking around, I spotted an orange floating device.. Taking it, gripping on the edge of the railing ready to jump, but Lin takes a hold of my shoulder.
"You can't, if.." but I gave him a dark look causing him to close his mouth before he could speak once again.
"She's my assistant and my responsibility," and before he could argue, without thinking, I jumped in, hitting the salty cold waters, using the floater.. Taking in a big breath, I dived in, opening my eyes, I searched around to see if I can spot Mai..
Then I did, not far from me, I notice a white light surrounding her, as though its protecting her for some sort of reason.. Swimming as fast as I could, I reached her in no time, and took her by her waist.
Then I swam her up, so I can get a breath of air in my lungs, since it started to ache.. Finally reaching the surface, feeling drained already, I took the floating device which happened to float by close, and I wrap my arm around it.
Looking up, I started to search around, then it hits me..
"What the heck?" I look around, really look around to take notice that the once dark sky was no longer, but a blue light sky with a few clouds around. The sun bright as ever.. And the worst part of it all.
"Well.. We're screwed, what the hell happened to the Ship?" I cursed under my breath, as I watch the now calm waves hitting the surface of the huge rocks.. And no Ship around to save us..
"I just hope Gene is right to get this case or not.. I will murder him when I see him again.."
Please let me know.. Sorry for any grammar mistake.. This is a Case
