This story has been edited due to the fact that I was kindly told that John was an Australian, not an American!! Sorry about the mistake!!!
Disclaimer: I don not have any ownership over ghost hunt and will not use this story to profit myself in any way other than luring people to review me.
Hello! This is probably the first time you've seen me on FF, seeing as the last story I wrote was written around a year ago and sucked terribly. There is no PG-13 content in here, by the way, I just wanted to rate it for the pure fact that I know that I will put large amounts of it in later. I have no idea whatsoever how this story will turn out so R&R please!!!
Thankees for anything and everything-mostly actually standing my stories. I would love to know ways which to improve, however, I would prefere having little to no flames and only if you REALLY think it needs it. I t might be sligh Mai or John centric, by the way, so I'll say sorry ahead of time!!
Prologue
Mai looked around the empty office in dismay. "Now just where IS everybody?" She said annoyed, "I bet Naru found some freak job and 'forgot' to inform me. He can be such a pain sometimes."
"Well, Naru's Naru."
Mai jumped at the voice coming from behind her. Turning around she saw John in the doorway smiling his usual you-know-I'm–innocent smile that he did so often.
"I'm sorry," he said, looking slightly guilty, while having a definite bemused look twinkling in his eyes, "did I startle you? Its just you were looking around for people so I figured that you'd be paying more attention…"
Mai blushed vigorously, glaring at the sandy blonde Australian. "Hey, people tend to be jumpy when their alone-especially if-"She cut herself off, her blush deepening until she was the nice red color of a bell pepper.
John, however only smiled. "Especially if you do what we do, right?"
Mai looked down at the floor now-there was a strange speck on the rug that had-urm-caught her attention.
"Don't worry," he said sighing, "it's to be expected. Especially for you, with all the trouble you seem to always be getting yourself in. I guess you're just an interesting subject for them. How can we know-you might even have another hidden power to help get their attention. I wouldn't be surprised with all that we've been finding out about you; you seem to be a very talented person."
"I don't know about that…" She said looking at the wall, her eyes now serious, "If I was that talented then I should be able to help people more often than being the 'damsel in distress'."
"What do you mean?"
"It's just-," she stopped suddenly, frowning at his worried expression before giggling softly, "Don't look at me like that! Jeez John, who knew you could look so intense?"
It was John's turn to blush, "And like you can say anything, you should have seen YOUR face a moment ago. So unlike you!"
Mai glared daggers at the priest's now smirking face as he began to crack up as he saw her face change. "Why you little-how dare you say that! You… you..."
Both of them were now laughing all out as Mai attempted to regain her composure and think up a better come back. Pretending to glare at him again she did an over exaggerated defiant pout, before turning to the door and exiting it, "You know what, I give up. You're mean so I'm going to leave!"
"Whatever you say!" John called after the pretend-raging teen, "Like I care!"
When finally her foot steps disappeared John's eyes went back to their earlier worried disposition. "You never answered my question…" He murmured to himself, "And you're wrong, I don't know where we'd be without you always cheering us on and making us actually so things…"
Sighing once again John looked at the clock before suddenly remembering. "Oops…" he said looking down the hallway where Mai had previously exited, "I forgot to tell her that it was an off day, I only came in to pick up a paper."
Continue to look down the hall the Australian shrugged. "Oh well, she'll find out eventually."
