OMG I was writing chapter 2 when I forgot about Mai moving in DXXXX
Life. Over. Oh well :3
Chapter 2: Moving In
"How do you have so much stuff?" Naru groaned.
"I dunno… I've just got to fit everything into one room! I don't know how I'll do it…" Mai said. Naru was dealing with the big boxes with Lin, and Mai was taking things like cups and plates.
Luckily Naru lived on the second floor, and the building had a lift, so it wasn't too hard. Naru was still complaining a lot though.
"Get the tea stuff, Mai, and make me some tea." Naru moaned.
"Fine, fine." Mai grunted, travelling back down the steps (the lift would take too lon).
She picked up the box of tea things and walked back up the stairs, into the the flat and then to the kitchen. As the water boiled, Mai looked around the flat.
Typical Naru, everything was neat and organised. IT looked good though, she had to admit. It was quite modern but was still a bit traditional. One room had a balcony, large enough to put a chair and able outside, which was a bonus.
Naru had been telling the truth, it was close to her school and the office. It was pretty convenient as well because it was in the centre of the city.
She walked back to the kitchen and prepared three cups of tea.
Mai first walked to the lounge which was also sort of the kitchen. There was just a wall with a window in it that was open at one end that separated them. To the left of the kitchen / lounge was the door and a bathroom, and Naru's room was to the right.
Mai set the tea down on the table, and took one cup to her new room. Shelves were built into the wall, which was a plus. Her bed was against the wall opposite the door. There wasn't a window, but it was still nice.
As she set down the tea on her bedside table, she heard the door open. Naru set a box down and began to walk towards her.
"Mai, I need-" Just as Mai turned round, Naru tripped over a box and fell forwards, landing on top of Mai, and ending up half on, half off the bed.
Their breathing was heavy as they stared into each others eyes, not sure how to react. So they didn't. That is, until Lin walked in.
"Naru-" Lin dropped the box he was carrying in shock, turned and walked out the room.
"Damn." Naru sighed. He lifted himself off Mai, and immediately walked to the door. But before he left, he turned around and gave Mai an embarrassed, half smile.
…
Mai had stayed in her room for a while, sorting her stuff out, drinking tea and mulling over what just happened. As soon as Naru left, she could hear him trying to convince Lin that nothing had happened, he had just tripped… Lin didn't buy it.
I'm sorry that this is so short, I can't write any more! So here's a spoiler for the next chapter :3
"What kind of thing to you think we're dealing with here?" Mai asked, fitting a monitor into place.
"I need Masako to determine my theory, but I believe that there is one spirit here, which is possessing Kaiamo. This is because there have been no other unusual phenomena, such as objects moving on their own." Naru replied quietly.
Hope you like! I'll probably update tomorrow anyway, seeing as I've got such a good response. :D
