I do NOT own Ghost Hunt, only the characters that I have created for this story. This is my first time typing out a story. Usually, I write out my stories so bear with me on this story, ne?
Arigatou minna-san!
CHAPTER 1
Sensei: Mai. There is a phone call for you.
Mai: Hai Sensei.
Mai rushed over to pick up the call.
Mai: Moshi Moshi?
Hana: MAI! Watashi Hana!
Mai: HANA!? Are you in Japan again?
Hana: YES. I'm back, permanently!
Mai: That's great news! When can I see you?
Hana: Hmm. How about today? I'll meet up with you after school?
Mai: Alright. Ah! Chotto-matte, I have a job after school.
Hana: Huh? That's alright. I'll accompany you.
Mai: Alright, if you say so.
Hana: Bye Mai-chan!
Mai: Ja Ne!
After School, Mai rushed off to the school's front gate where Hana had been waiting.
Mai: Hana! Gomen! My sensei let us off late.
Hana: It's okay. Shall we go?
Mai nodded and the two girls walked to the building where Mai worked.
Hana asked, "So ,what's your job"
Mai laughed nervously as she replied," I think you might like it. I'm working at a ghost hunter's assistant"
Hana was shocked by the response," EH!? Ghost Hunter!? SUGOI. Mai! I want to join too!"
Mai just grinned happily and dragged her friend over to a building.
The two girls reached the building: Shibuya Psychic Research.
Mai opened the door slowly, guiding Hana into the office.
Hana: Wow, this is quite a cosy place.
Mai: It is, isn't it?
Just then, the boss of the company came out of his office. He noticed Mai, then he took notice of the person beside her.
Mai: Ah! Naru-chan! This is my friend, Sakuraki Hana. She wants to join our team.. if you don't mind..
Naru remained silent. He just continued to stare at Hana.
Hana: Shibuya Kazuya.
Mai: errr. Do you know him, Hana?
Naru: Mai, I want some tea.
Mai: Huh? oh, hai!
Once Mai had disappeared from view, Naru and Hana started their own conversation
Naru: Hana. I didn't expect to meet you in Japan.
Hana: I didn't expect this either. So, will you allow me to join your team?
Naru: Hnn. I'll think about it.
Naru walked into his office and closed the door.
Hana frowned as she mumbled,"Still as arrogant as before.."
Mai finished her work early because she had help from Hana.
Mai: Thanks for the help, Hana.
Hana: No problem.
Mai: I'll be right back okay?
Hana: Sure, take your time.
While Mai was gone, someone entered the office. It was..
Hana: Lin-san?
Lin looked at Hana, as if he was trying to remember her.
Hana: 'grins' H.E.L.L.O 'waves her hands in front of his face'
Lin: Your back in Japan?
Hana: Yep, and I'm staying here permanently.
Lin: I see. Well, take care. 'walks into his own office'
Hana: 'sighs' Why has neither of them changed for the better?
NEXT DAY
Hana: Mai! Konnichiwa! 'smiles'
Mai: Wow, your early today!
Hana had been waiting outside the office for Mai. She didn't feel like entering without her friend because it would have felt akward since she didn't work there.
Hana: By the way, I saw you walking here with.. KEN! 'laughs'
Mai: 'blushes' Stop that! We're just friends.
Hana: Hmm, that may be true but I know you want more... 'smirks'
Mai: HANA! STOP IT! 'still blushing'
Hana: Alright alright, I shall rest my case.
Mai entered the office with Hana and noticed the rest of the team sitting in the main room.
Mai: Huh? Why are all of you here?
Ayako: Go figure. 'frowns'
Bou: Mai-chan, how nice to see you again.
John: Hello Mai.
Masako: ...
'The team noticed the girl standing beside Mai'
Hana: Err. Mai.. they're staring at me.
Mai: 'smiles nervously at Hana' Sorry.
Masako: You are.. Hana, Sakuraki Hana right?
Hana: 'nods sheepishly' Hai.
Masako: I've heard of you while I was in America. You helped to solve a very difficult case in America, right?
Hana: 'nods'
Mai: HONTO? Why didn't you tell me that you were doing this kind of stuff in America? I mean, I knew you liked ghost hunting but you never told me you had experience in it.
Hana: 'laughs nervously' Well, it's something I would rather people NOT know about.
Naru walked out of his office, towards the group of people in the main room.
Naru: All of you are rather early.. 'notices Hana'
Hana: Err.. Hi..Naru.
Naru: 'ignores Hana' Anyway, I'll tell you about the case that we will be investigating this time.
Hana: 'glares and whispers to herself' Fine.. ignore me. It's all you ever do anyway..
'Everyone sat down to listen to the case'
Naru: There is a mansion which has some hidden history to it. Many people have suffered minor injuries in that mansion but it seems that at time goes by, the incidents that take place there get worse. Till now, nobody has ever left that mansion without an injury. Therefore, we need to find out what is causing these incidents. The owner of the mansion will be there when we arrive to take care of our daily needs during our stay.
Hana: Erm.. Naru? Can I join in?
Naru: Hnn. It's your choice.
Hana: Honto? Arigatou! 'smiles'
After everyone had left the office,Mai decided to ask Hana about her relationship with Naru.
Mai: Hana. Can I ask you something?
Hana: Hmm?
Mai: Do you know Naru?
Hana: uhh.. Well, you could say that.
Mai: How?
Hana: It's a long story but since you completed your filing, I guess I could tell you now.
Mai moved closer to listen to the story.
Hana took a deep breath and began to tell her story.
"Well, I met Naru while I was in America. The case that Masako brought up took place when I was 15 years old.
My mother was helping with the case and she decided to let me help since I had always wanted to experience what it would be like in a real case.
One night.. while I was setting up cameras in one of the situated rooms of a house, the floorboards below cracked... The house was really old so we were told to be careful when we walked around. While setting up the cameras, I heard some noises so I took my eyes off the equipment for a few seconds. In those few seconds, a neko.. it was chasing after a mouse and accidently slammed into the equipment. I had to catch it so I practically jumped and slid.
Luckily, I caught the equipment. Once I stood up and pushed the equipment aside, the floorboards gave way and I screamed.
I knew no one could help me because I was alone in that area of the house. However, someone grabbed my hand before I fell and pulled me up, I was slightly concious at that time so I only caught a glimpse of the person before I became unconcious.
When I came to, a boy was sitting beside me and I noticed that I was lying in a hospital dorm. That boy.. was Shibuya Kazuya.
After that incident, I tried really hard to get to know Naru better so that I could repay him but as you know his current attitude, it was a futile attempt. Although, he does remember me as the girl who used to disturb him.."
Mai: Wow, I didn't know that Naru and you had such a past.
Hana: 'blushes' Mai, don't phrase it like that. It sounds as if I was involved with him or something.
Mai: 'smirks' Ohh. So your interested in him, huh?
Hana: WHAT!? NO WAY! That jerk? As if! 'looks away from Mai, she was still blushing'
Mai: Right dear..'smirks'
Hana: 'frowns' I know you were interested in him before.
Mai: 'blushes' That was the past.. I've moved on.
Hana: Yeah yeah. You've moved on to.. Ken!'laughs'
Just then, Naru came out of his office. He noticed the two girls sitting on the couch, gossiping.
Naru: As always, Hana talks too much.
After his visit to the toilet, he headed to his office. It seemed that the girls had not been aware of his presence the whole time. He sat down on his chair and stared at his desk which had papers scattered everywhere.He was thinking of those times in America when Hana used to pester him to show her grattitude after he had saved her. He smirked as he remembered Hana's expression on her first day back to Japan.
Naru: That girl... Guess she wasn't pleased to see me, huh..'smiles'
Mai decided to leave early because she had some urgent homework to tend to.Hana stayed in the office to help complete the rest of Mai's work.While Hana was concentrating on the work, Naru came out of his office and saw Hana.
Naru: Your still here?
Hana: 'startled' oh, yes.
Naru: I see. 'walks to the kitchen to make tea for himself'
Hana: 'sighs' I feel like such an idiot sometimes..why did I even volunteer to stay. I totally forgot that it would only be him and me since Lin-san didn't come to work today..'arranges the papers on Mai's desk and puts them away neatly'
Naru: 'carrying his tea' Your leaving?
Hana: Ahh.. No, I'm just arranging Mai's stuff. 'laughs nervously'
Naru was about to go into his office when suddenly, Hana called out his name.
Hana: Naru.
Naru: 'turns to face Hana'
Hana: I realised that I've never VERBALLY said my appreciation to you for that time so.
Naru: So?
Hana: 'ignores Naru's sarcastic tone' Thanks.. for saving me.'looks at the floor'
Naru: Okay. 'turns around and walks into his office'
Hana: 'vein throbbing' ARGH! NARU! I just apologised and that's all you can say to me!? I'll just forget that you saved me before!' slams her bag on Mai's table and puts the necessary contents to complete in her bag. She exits the office,slamming the door behind her'
Naru: I never asked you to apologise... baka.
TO BE CONTINUED
Well, that was my first chapter for this fanfic. I'm using two different formats of writing in this chapter..ehehex. I'm more comfortable using a script format for this story because my story revolves around the conversations between the characters. I don't like putting both formats together but I'll try to stick to the script format for the rest of the chapters I guess.
Truthfully, I'm a MaiXNaru fan! (:
However, I didn't have any inspiration to write a MaiXNaru fic so... Gomen, ne?
Well, thanks for reading this story though. haha.
