Deception

Hello minna-san!

It's my first time writing a fiction so good luck to me and to all of you!

I hope everyone enjoy! This Naru x Mai story so keep in touch.

Well this is my first time writing a fan-fiction, but I'm going to do my best! And if there's any mistakes you've seen, it's my pleasure to correct it. Thank you! "Correct me if I'm wrong". (I'm not that good in English.)

I do not own Ghost Hunt or the characters. *except for other characters I made.

Well, let's get started. ^_^ [rated K+, just to be sure]

Summary: When Taniyama Mai had lied about her qualifications to secure a job to Kazuya Shibuya, she certainly got more than she bargained for. But what hope could she have now of winning the love of this powerful man once he discovered her deception? (Naru x Mai)

Chapter 1

"You didn't give them to me!" Mai exclaimed in exasperation, and she just wished he wouldn't look at her with that pained expression, as though she was deliberately trying to persecute him. She wasn't. In fact, she was trying very hard to be efficient.

"Look," Naru began wearily, "I do realize you can't be expected to know where everything is-I'm not a complete fool-but I did ask if you remember that you don't file anything until you understand the system."

"But I didn't," Mai began, finding it extra-ordinarily difficult to concentrate when faced with piercing blue eyes that seemed to make her brain into more of a mush that usual. "You truly didn't give them to me." "Yes, I did." And the blue, blue eyes that Mai found so fascinating was beginning to discover usually presaged a burst of temper.

Taking a deep breath, he finally managed, really quite calmly, "Just before lunch, I asked if you'd finished typing the report." And Mai nodded solemnly, she did clearly remember that. "I then handed you two sheets of paper and asked you to attach them to it-didn't I?" Screwing her face up into a comical little grimace, she shook her head apologetically.

"No. You had some papers in front of you and perhaps you meant to give them to me," she said kindly, "but you didn't. Lin-san rang through and you told me to go to lunch, which I did. Maybe you put them in your briefcase," she added helpfully. "I did not put them in my briefcase," he gritted between his teeth, "I gave them to you. Go and look."

Knowing the sheer futility of doing any such thing, Mai nevertheless got to her feet and went back to her office. "And, Miss Taniyama," Naru said softly, from so close behind her that she jumped in alarm, "while you are looking, perhaps you would keep an eye open for the file that disappeared yesterday." And, before Mai could think of a suitable retort, he'd gone again.

Grinding her teeth in fury, she threw herself into her chair in an attitude of exhaustion. How on earth, she wondered, could she ever in a million years have thought herself capable of working for the autocratic Shibuya Kazuya? However had she thought those bright blue eyes might gleam with laughter? The wretched man had no sense of humor whatsoever!

"And I didn't file anything!" she yelled aloud in an effort to relieve her feelings. "And you didn't need to make that crack about losing your precious papers, either!" She bet they were in his briefcase. Did she dare go and look? No, she decided, she didn't; with her luck he'd come back and catch her.

Getting up, she went to the cupboard and removed the brown manila folder that contained all the papers Naru had given her during the week she had been working for him, which she hadn't filed. Walking to the filing cabinets, she solemnly went through each drawer. No files. It wasn't that she was stupid—far from it, she just wasn't a dedicated secretary type. Leaning her elbows on the top of the cabinet and resting her chin on top, she stared through the window. Blue sky, fluffy white clouds, the solitary tree that was all she could see from her office, that was where she wanted to be, outside in the fresh air. Well, maybe not fresh. Half closing her eyes she conjured up sparkling waters, people shouting and laughing lithe bodies cleaving the waves a warm sun. . .

"Praying for divine intervention, Miss Taniyama?" Swinging round in shock, her too hasty movements making her bang her elbow on the edge of the cabinet. Mai stared at Naru for a moment, her lovely brown eyes blank. She kept forgetting how tall he was, and every time he stood before her she felt as though she were shrinking. She'd never considered herself particularly short, yet beside him she felt . .

A cliffhanger? See what happens next! ^_^ xD
