Hello all! Here is the follow up chapter! Naru still has to go to England and bury Gene, this is the day before and day of Lin and Naru's departure for England. Fluffiness makes Naru OOC. Fair warning. It's kind of borning to me.

Ghost Hunt belongs to Fuyumi Ono.

Tomorrow would be the hardest day of Mai's life. Sure the days in which her parents had died had been just as hard if not harder but she felt that this day would be the one to make her officially depressed.

Naru and Lin would be returning to England tomorrow. Now they weren't going to stay long, maybe a week or two but that did not change the fact that Mai would miss Naru for that time period.

As she was thinking over everything, she realized that it had been two weeks since Naru had confessed to her. She smiled, thinking back to the day. The beloved kiss they had shared would remain in her heart forever.

After a couple of hours had passed, Mai had made Naru call everyone and report that SPR would not be shut down. Mai had sat beside him and held his hand the entire time. When that day had ended, they had parted with a tender kiss. The following day Naru had taken Mai to dinner to celebrate the beginning of their relationship. To Mai it was unnecessary but her lovely boyfriend had insisted and who was she to refuse his wonderful stare?

Ever since they had gotten together, Mai noticed that Naru was beginning to loosen up and even be more open. She liked the change. He began telling her about his past as well as his family and she felt confident he trusted her completely.

Mai snapped from her thoughts as the person of her musings emerged from his office. Her face lit up with a smile and she eagerly walked around her desk to meet him.

Naru returned the smile and took her hands in his, admiring her face and sparkling eyes. Slowly he bent down and placed a small kiss on her cheek.

Mai giggled and blushed then gave him a teasing look, "You just can't seem to get enough of kissing..."

He smirked and gave a light shrug, "Well now that you're mine, I can't help but show my affection whenever I can. I think I'm even developing a habit of it."

Laughing at the small confession Mai simply kissed his cheek back and went to start tea, knowing he would kindly ask for it anyway. She also knew he would follow her, without or without an 'okay' signal from her.

Starting the tea she leaned back against the counter, thinking as he entered. She felt his arms wrap around her and so she leaned into him. Letting out a sigh, Mai said, "Tomorrow's going to be the longest day of my life..."

Naru nodded, letting her know it would be long for him too, "Don't fret over it too much, I told you that we'll only be gone say a week or two. Knowing my parents they'll try and talk me into staying but I have too good a reason to come back."

That made Mai smile.

The screaming tea kettle broke them apart, Mai escaping his arms to collect the necessary items. Having it down to seconds of preparation, by the time Naru tried to hold onto her again, she was holding out a cup of steaming tea in front of him.

He stopped his motions and looked at it, processing.

Mai smirked, "With all this practice I'm getting to be able to serve things fast." Then she thought of something once he had taken it from her, "Oh! What are you going to do without my tea for two weeks?"

"Don't remind me..." came the muttered reply.

Allowing herself a small laugh, Mai quickly fixed up a cup of green tea for Lin and delivered it. When she came back, Naru was pouring another cup. She shook her head, a small smile ever in place, "I'm beginning to wonder if all English people are tea addicts like you..."

Naru shrugged and continued to drink the tea.

Mai's smile began to fade, "These are going to be a hard few weeks..."

Naru stopped and eyed her expression and sighed, putting his tea aside in favor of bringing her into a hug. "Don't worry... it'll be over before you know it... How long is too long to be away from you anyway?"

"Two minutes," came the murmured reply.

He chuckled and held her tighter, his eyes soft, "I could agree to that..."

They had only been together a couple of weeks but they were so close, having been holding back their emotions in fear of rejection but now that didn't matter and now it became too much to be away from one another for too long. Too long now being labeled as two minutes.

As they pulled away from one another and sighed out, having gotten that out of their systems.

Mai then asked him, "Can we have dinner tonight? As kind of a good-bye thing?"

Naru gave her a genuine and nodded at her, all for the idea, "It's not goodbye though, just see you in 2 weeks."

A smile grew on Mai's lips and she giggled, "Of course."

-Later-

The night had been long, having eaten and later danced with each other at the restaurant they had gone to, both Mai and Naru were exhausted.

On the drive to Mai's house, Naru noted that she had fallen asleep against the window. He couldn't stop the affectionate smile that spread on his lips, she really was too cute sometimes.

When he arrived at her apartment complex he reluctantly woke her.

Mai sat up from the window, a dazed look in her eyes. Rubbing one with the heel of her hand she looked over to Naru tiredly, "We there already...?"

Naru nodded and stretched a little, popping his neck.

"Do you want to come in?" she asked after a moment, "I could make you some tea."

However good it sounded, Naru knew he had to decline, "I would but I still have to pack."

Mai gave him an incredulous look, "You haven't packed yet? Naru you leave tomorrow!"

His dark blue eyes lit up in amusement, "Well we have gone somewhere with each other everyday for the past two weeks, it's hard to find time to so I'm just doing it tonight."

A light blush dusted the girl's cheeks and she pouted, arms crossed.

Naru chuckled and leaned over, pecking Mai on the lips, smirking as her blush deepened. "I'll see you tomorrow at the airport," he said quietly, "for now, head in and go to sleep; you need it."

With a slight nod of agreement, Mai leaned over to hug him and give a small kiss. Lingering for a moment to look into his eyes she let out a small giggle and headed in.

Naru watched her head in, making sure she got there safely and then headed back to his own apartment with Lin, preparing for a long night of packing.

-The Next Day-

Mai awoke with a start as her alarm clock blared in her ear. Muttering to herself, she rose from her bed to ready herself for the day, both physically and emotionally.

Having showered and dressed moderately formal, she began her walk to SPR where she would meet up with Monk and Ayako, their plan being to head to the airport for their farewells to Naru and Lin.

Madoka had gone a couple of days before to make the necessary arrangements for the two men's pickup. From what she had been told, Mai learned that London-Heathrow airport was basically a mass of people, busy and winding on forever. Or at least that had been how Madoka described it.

Eventually Mai got to the SPR offices, to discover that Monk and Ayako were waiting. With rather heavy hearts they headed to the airport.

Upon arriving at the airport, they noted the hustle and bustle going on around them. Monk kept a constant hand on both Ayako and Mai's arms to make sure they weren't lost in the mass of moving peoples.

After walking through the lobbies of the airport for what seemed like forever, the three found Naru and Lin calmly sitting off to the side, waiting for them.

Mai pushed forward, escaping Monk's protective hold and leaping into Naru's waiting arms. As she cuddled into his arms, she couldn't stop the swell in her emotions.

Naru held her protectively, rubbing her back as she began crying. A frown worked onto his lips, he hated when Mai cried. Especially if it was over him.

The others looked on in realtive silence, feeling sympathy for the couple. Being apart from each other was never easy or fun, no matter what the length of time.

Naru kept holding her in his last moments with her for awhile, not wanting to let go. "Shh," he whispered to her, trying to calm her down.

Lin stood after a time, looking down hesitantly at the couple, "Naru..." He knew he did not need to finish the sentence to give the teen the hint.

Giving a sigh, the said teen stood up; taking Mai with him. Pulling her away from him gently he observed her tear stained cheeks and shimmering eyes. Naru shook his head and brought her into a tight hug, "Hush Mai... it'll be alright... Shh.." It hurt him to have to leave her alone for a couple of weeks but he needed to do this; he needed to honor his twin by seeing him buried.

Dang right you do, murmured a familiar voice.

Rolling his eyes, Naru continued trying to calm his girlfriend.

"J-Just promise me y-you'll come b-back to me..." sobbed Mai. Her irrational fears making themselves known.

"Of course I'll come back," he scolded softly, "why wouldn't I come back to the one person I love?"

She merely shook her head and tightened her hold.

He smiled, pulling her back to bring her into an endearing kiss, trying to calm her fears.

Mai automatically kissed back, tears still rolling down her cheeks. Emotion flowed out of her in uncontrolled waves.

They broke apart for air and met each other's eyes.

Finally, for the first time on this day, Mai let out a small smile. The reassurance in Naru's dark eyes finally calming her. Rubbing her eyes, Mai said, "Come back soon?"

Naru returned her smile slowly, "Definitely." He sealed his word with a small kiss.

They pulled away for a last time, Lin simply dragging the teen off towards the inner depths of the airport. Naru kept his eyes on Mai for as long as he could, placing his hand over his heart. Mai returned the small gesture, smile in place.

He told me to tell you that he loves you, Gene murmured. The smile was clearly evident in his voice.

Tell him that back, for me Gene; please?

Of course... he said, fading into the recesses of her thoughts.

Monk laid a hand on the girl's shoulder at length, "Come on Mai, let's go..."

Nodding Mai let her eyes linger on where she had last seen Naru. Only two weeks, she reminded herself, only two weeks.

Alright now this fic is done! It became a two-shot, what-evs :) I can't say I'm happy with this chapter but I can't say I'm unhappy with it either. Thanks for reading. R&R if you want!
