Here we go again, another boring day a SPR. At least Naru will be there.Mai thought as she opened the door to her favourite boss's office. Naru was at his desk, reading a new book about P-K and didn't seem to care that Mai had entered. "Naru, would you like some tea?" Mai asked, hoping to get some attention from her boss. You know he will say yes! Honestly Mai. "Yes, thank you Mai" Naru said without even looking up from his book. Told you so. Mia smiled brightly and started to shut the door. His eyes are so beautiful; I could just stare at them all day. Naru looked up at Mai and smirked. "Mai, you do realise making tea involves leaving the door, right?" Naru said arching a black eyebrow at her. Oh crap! "O-oh, right. Sorry about that" Mai stuttered, her cheeks redden. As Mai closed the door, she caught Naru's smirk turn into a smile. How long was I standing there for? HE NEVER SMILES! Honestly, could I embarrass myself more in front of him?! The sound of the kettle boiling interrupted Mai from her self-scrutiny. As she stirred Naru's tea, Mia thought about how long it's been since SPR had a customer. It had to have been two months ago, and god, it had been one hell of a ghost. It virtually knocked the museum down, even with the help of all her friends. "Mia, what's taking so long!?" Naru's shout was mixed with concern. Well, that's new Mia thought. Mia opened the door to Naru's office and found Naru's face was etched with worry. Although, once Naru saw Mai, he went back to reading his book without an expression at all. Okay… "I'm sorry it took so long" Mai apologized. "I hope after that wait, that this is the best tea ever" he said back to his normal monotone-self. Gezz…mood swings. After Naru sipped his tea, Mai asked "Is there anything else I can do for you?" Naru looked up from his book and sighed. "Unless we get a customer soon, there will be no point in coming to work. I have nothing to do, let alone anything to give to you. So, unless you want to clean, I suggest you go home" Naru said taking another sip of his tea. I just got here! I'm not leaving you! Mia thought, determination covering her face. "Where do you want me to start first, Naru?" Mai asked, trying not to let the fear of not seeing him escape.
"Are you serious, Mai?" Naru said astounded, as if he never expected her to stay. To answer him, she rolled up the sleeves of her white long-sleeve blouse. Naru's eyes got bigger with disbelief and he couldn't stop starring. What is wrong with me staying to clean? And stop starring; your mouth might fall on the desk. Gezz Naru, you are sure acting weird today Mai thought. As Mai looked around, she noticed that Naru's office was a pig's pen. Books everywhere but the bookshelves, sheets and newspapers in random piles on his desk and files scattered around the room. I think that here is a pretty good place to start. "What about in here, Naru? Or is there some sort of order to this mess?" Mia enquired.
Naru stopped gawking and looked around, to find his office was far messier than he had remembered. Gezz, I swear it wasn't this messy two seconds ago he thought. He looked up at Mai who had her hands on her hips, waiting for his answer. Mai was the most beautiful girl Naru had ever seen, and yet, he was not allowed to have her. This is why he is always so blunt with her and tried to look at her as little as possible. It was also why he was unable to stop starring not five seconds ago; he had not expected her to stay and clean. He had wanted her to go, because he couldn't handle the urge to kiss her, and now she was asking him if she could clean his office, in the skinniest jeans ever. Ah! She doesn't even like you and above that, you can't even have her! So, stop thinking about her! Naru screamed at himself. "Um…earth to Naru" Mai said in a cute (but concerned) voice. I need you to get out of here now Mai. "Mai, can you go make me some more tea?" Naru said, rather too forcefully. "Sure...wait…you still have half a cup left" Naru looked down into his teacup and yes, he still had half of it left. Come on Shibuya! Keep it together! Naru cussed himself. Taking the cup from his desk, Naru knocked back the rest of his hot tea. "No I don't" he smirked and handed her the tea cup. His fingers accidently skimmed across hers, creating electricity that flew up his hand and made his heart beat faster. Jesus! What is this girl done to me!? Naru thought, wide eyed.
Mai's brown eyes had widened from their touch and she was biting her lip. NO! Don't do that! Naru shouted at her mentally. Mia looked up from his desk and stared into Naru's violet eyes, stop it now! He willed Mai. "Umm…ok…I'll go make you some more tea" Mai barely whispered as she turned to leave. AH!That was close! Naru slumped back in his chair the moment the door closed. YOU DO NOT LIKE HER!Naru tried to lie to himself, quite unsuccessfully. You know your mother would kill…no…murder you, if you kissed Mai. I wonder what she would do to you if she knew how many times you've thought of that. Naru sighed. It was not fair that his adopted mother got to choose who he spent forever with. Naru felt a sudden flood of rage fill him. GOD DAMN IT MUM! Who has arranged marriages anymore? He scowled at the wall. Naru was distracted from his sudden hatred of the wall, when he heard a crash and then a thud come from the kitchen. MAI! Naru charged to his door and threw it open. Naru ran as fast as he could to the kitchen and nearly ran into the kitchen door that had been swung open. What the? "NARU! GET IN HERE!" Lin shouted from inside the kitchen. How did he get there before I did? Naru pondered as he closed the door and stepped into the kitchen. No… Naru's heart stopped as he saw Mai lying in a puddle of her own blood. "Naru! Call an ambulance!" Lin shouted at him. Mai….. Naru grabbed his phone, his wild eyes never leaving Mai as he called for an ambulance.
