"Oh naru will you please buy it for me!?" Mai pleaded as she drooled over a stuffed penguin.
"Uh!" He snorted " why do we have to be here anyway?!"
"because monk said we had to "Blend in" while him and ayoko investigate the case where doing"
" Mai, you really are stupid"
" Hey! What did you say that for!"
he sighed " Mai we aren't doing a hunt right now, monk problem set us up."
"MONK!" Her face got red while she waved her arms up and down. "What ever just buy me this stuffed penguin!
"Uh, fine" I watch naru give the man two 500 yen coins. " here"
( mais thoughts) w-wha. Is that something redish pink under his eye " Your blushing aren't you!?" I shouted. Then naru quickly put his hand over my mouth preventing me from saying more to embarrass him. How cute.
Very suddenly he yanked his hand away quickly with a disgusted and red hot face. "Y-you licked me!" he rubbed his hands rapidly on his clothes.
( Narus thoughts ) ahh I have to get revenge on her but I have to do it cooly so she dosnt think I have gone soft.
" what are ya doin?" Mai asked as if she knew he was thinking hardly. " hey w-hat are you doing naru? Stop! that creepy!"
Naru then came very close In till there faces where a little more then a centimeter away! Naru then lifted Mai's chin and whispered " Mai I've always thought you where kinda cute you know the way you stand up for yourself and your adorable nick names!" He whispered as he let go of her chin then Naru, who had a pleased face watched as Mai ran away from him and into a bush.
" w-what was that feeling I just felt!? Ewwww d-do I like naru!? No! Where just work buddies right?
" you know you really look stupid talking to a stuffed penguin inside a bush."
" n-naru I didn't know you where here!" He reached his hand out.
" come on let's go, oh and make sure you don't tell ANYBODY about what I did. Ok?"
" fine but only if you NEVER do that again!" I grabbed his hand and we walked through the carnival. And as usual he was silent and cold.
(Mai's thoughts) it's so weird how a person can change so quick like that!
" wow there are so many concessions open! We should go visit on naru."
"yah sure."
" oh come on naru have some fun!" I pleaded
" I thought I told you I wouldn't do that anymore"
" Jerk!" At that time kids crossed by our feet playing tag hold bright, shiny green and pink balloons. " hey naru we should matching balloons!" I then walked over to those and asked " hey where did you get balloons?"
" over there lady "
Mai looked to were the little boy was pointing and saw nothing " umm there's nothing there"
" jeez lady check your eye sight! Any way he's over there by that cat with bread on its face! It's a big clown with a red nose, you can't miss him!"
I walked away from the boys and asked naru if he saw a clown giving out balloons.
"Mai why do you want balloons?" He asked
" we'll I saw those kids running around with balloons and I thought maybe we could t some!" Her face felt a little hot.
" Mai were are those children?"
" over there" I pointed to the fence where she saw the children playing ring around the Rosie.
" Mai there's no children over there"
" but I still see them, they saI'd there was a clown over there handing out balloons" I pointed to where the breaded cat was bathing itself. We walked over there and both of us saw a faint clown giving out balloons." See naru?"
" Mai, one of the first of the carnivals rules is balloons are prohibited!"
" but don't you see it naru?"
" yah I see it all right, come on let's go back to the office"
as Him and I walked to the bus stop I started to wonder what that clown really was?
" oh great I left my wallet at the carnival stuffed animal booth"
" oh no do you have enough for the bus?"
"Yah I do, don't worry about it.
Once on the bus I felt tired and sleepy. I felt my self drifting to sleep. wait what's that in the reflection of the bus window? I looked a little closer and made out a shape of a clown face smiling at me! I gasped then naru looked at me.
" Mai are you ok?" he asked " you look like you saw a goat"
"no I'm fine, I'm just getting a little sleepy, thats all!" I smiled cutely at him
" oh ok."
Once again I found my self laying into a deep sleep. And the last thing I remember is laying on Naru's shoulder and him looking at me with his gentle eyes.
