Hi everyone it's nice to be here again! I'm so happy with how people have responded to my story. *Deep bow* Anyway I would like to give special thanks to… wait for it… NARU YOU FORGOT TO DO YOUR DRUM ROLL!
Naru: Well I don't know about you but I would like to refrain from doing such childish things.
Mai: Aw come on Naru can't you have a bit of fun.
Naru: If this is your means of fun than I want no part of it.
Me: Relax Mai we all know that his meaning of "fun" is when he's jacking-off imagining that it's you while looking at the Christmas picture that was taken this year with you in that revealing Santa costume.
Mai: Silver how could you be so perverted?
Naru: When did this involve my meaning of fun?
Me: See he didn't deny it! I told you Mai he wants you. *Naru walks over to Silver and hits her with drumsticks* OW! Okay now you're going to get it you stupid scientist! *Takes one drumstick and begins chasing Naru with it*
Mai: Um okay then. As Silver tries to kill Naru-Silver sends her special thanks to Yume Ookami since her story gave her the idea for Aoi Ookami's eyes and also for the dead sister bit. (later on in the story) So the sister's name will be owned by Yume Ookami, but the rest of the sister will be from Silver's own imagination. Also she doesn't own any of the characters from Ghost Hunt. Please R&R!
Naru's POV
It's been two long agenizing days waiting for today to finally come. Now that it was finally here however I began to feel the nerves start to kick in along with the adrenaline. 'When will the others get here? It's already a half hour past the time that I told them to be here. What's keeping them?' As if on cue the other members drove up in Monk's car.
"Sorry Naru the traffic was horrible." Monk said getting out of the driver's seat and stretching his back. "Also the fact that we had to wait for this old crone to put on her make-up we would have made it here sooner."
"What did you say you retard of a monk?" *THUD*
"OW! What was that for?" He asked holding his head getting ready for if Matsuzaki-san was going to hit him again.
"If you used your brain than you would be able to figure it out on your own."
"Ayako, Monk come on can't we all get along?" John asked trying to stop the argument before Monk got hit once again.
"I am trying to get along, but this hag keeps on hitting me." Monk replied only to end up getting hit once again by Matsuzaki-san. John sighed at the fact that his attempt to help was brushed aside yet again.
"Don't worry John they'll figure out that the only reason that they're fighting is because they like each other soon enough." Hara-san said touching John's arm in a soothing way. 'Personally I'm just glad that she has finally got the hint that I don't like her, and that she's finally moved on to someone else.'
"WHAT!" they chimed at the same time now focusing on the medium
"How in the world am I supposed to believe that you think that I like that idiot?" Ayako asked jabbing a figure at said monk.
"Yeah for once I actually agree with her. What makes you think that I like this old bat?" He said returning the gesture only to get hit again for which we all surly won't be the last time today.
"Simple, because like another couple that we all know and love, you two fight to show your affection for one another." She said hiding her smile behind her sleeve. (See I told you boys fight to show affection. ;3)
"Ahhh! Monk are you cheating on me with this young woman!" Yasuhara gasped putting on his little skit for his own enjoyment making sure that he would not be on the receiving end of Matsuzaki-san's furry.
"Young woman? Where do you see her, cause all that I see here is a teenage girl and an old crone, also Madoka doesn't count since she and Lin are married." Monk teased only to get hit by both Matsuzaki-san and Hara-san.
Though everyone had their normal cheer there was something missing, something that I just could quite place. As I looked around for what could possibly be creating this void I suddenly remembered that Mai wouldn't be with us on the case. For reason's I didn't comprehend my mood dropped as well as my tolerance for the other's goofing around.
"Well if you all are done playing around I would like to get going so that we could actually get there by the end of today." I said adding a hint of the irritation that I felt into my voice. Almost immediately everyone shut up and got into the cars. Since Madoka has decided to grace us with her presence she ended up getting shot gun while I was back with the equipment. Though it didn't really bother me as much as it would for a regular case, but as anyone could see this case was far from normal.
As the office moved farther and farther from view my mind couldn't help but wander to how Mai was doing. If she was alright or getting into trouble. When an image of Mai falling face first flew into my mind a small smile planted itself on my lips. After two years of working with her it was hard for her to not grow you.
"And yet you told her that she was in love with me." Nagged an all too familiar voice.
"Shut-up Gene I'm not in the mood to talk to you." I barked trying to find a way to block him, but unfortunately found none.
"I'm hurt Noll. I would have thought that you would want to talk to your dead twin." He mockingly said as I just rolled my eyes. Really even after death he still has yet to outgrow his childishness. "But that's what you love about me."
"Gene please I would like to focus on this case because it has sentimental value to me." I sighed rubbing my temples as I felt a head ache coming on.
"Fine, fine Mr. Pole-up-my-ass. I get the hint I'll leave you to daydream about your nonexistent sex life, or love life for that matter of fact." He faded out of my head before I could come up with a witty response to counter him. 'Oh well no use crying over spilt milk.' When my mind wandered once again it lingered on the image of the girl I was determined to find. Although it will be difficult since all that I remember is that I meet her in a cemetery somewhere in the village Majikku.
I didn't notice that I dosed off until I felt the van stop. Slowly I took in the surroundings of the quaint little village that I longer to return to. Opening the door to join the rest of the members I saw that they were discussing something about where we were going to stay.
"Naru there you are! What are we going to do about rooms? I mean we looked all over the town and there isn't one inn."Monk said with a hint of irritation in his voice.
"That's strange the last time I was here there were inns all over the place." I turned to Lin. "Are you sure that this is the right town?"
"Positive the GPS lead us here since I no longer trust Madoka with a map."
"Hey that was one time! ONE!" she said trying to protest her own ignorance.
"Well for the time being we'll just have to try and find a place to stay for a week." I said ignoring the scene Madoka was causing.
~AT THAT TIME~ Mai's POV
'It's so nice to be back home with everyone! Though I wonder how everyone else is doing?' I thought as I drove my motorcycle down a familiar road for the third time this week. The wind pushed against me as I speed down the main road leading to my favorite convince store owned by Yuna-chan. As I came closer to the store I saw an all too familiar Van and red Mustang parked in front. 'No way is that Naru? Wait who am I kidding he's not gonna come to a small town like this.' Even though I knew this I couldn't help but slowdown to see who it was.
As I came closer I saw that there were eight people in total around the vehicles making my hopes rise that it actually is Naru and the rest of SPR. Finally being only one stoplight away Mai saw a tall teenage boy dressed all in black, and that officially convinced Mai that Naru was indeed in her little home village of Majikku. 'Oh My Gods! I can't believe it! It's really Naru. I wonder if he knows I'm here? Yeah right get real Mai of course he doesn't.' Suddenly the idea of surprising them came on very strong. When the light changed to green I quickly parked and listened in on their conversation.
"Naru there you are! What are we going to do about rooms? I mean we looked all over the town and there isn't one inn."Monk said with a hint of irritation in his voice.
"That's strange the last time I was here there were inns all over the place." Naru turned to Lin. "Are you sure that this is the right town?"
"Positive the GPS lead us here since I no longer trust Madoka with a map."
"Hey that was one time! ONE!" she said trying to protest her own ignorance.
"Well for the time being we'll just have to try and find a place to stay for a week." Naru said as if he were ignoring the scene Madoka was causing.
'So they're looking for a place to stay? Great I can invite them to my place, and then reveal who I am. I can't wait to see their shocked faces! Especially Naru's.' As I got off my motorcycle with my helmet still on I was about to walk over to them when I remembered what I was wearing. I looked down at my ice blue tube top that was just enough fabric to cover me where it counts, layered blue jean minnie skirt that was a little higher than mid thigh, and my favorite pair of worn out brown cowboy boots that went all the way to my knees. Although the thing that really worried me was my wolf bellybutton ring that I got when I turned 15. (Mom and Aunt Momo's doing) 'Geez if the fact that this is my home village doesn't surprise them than my outfit sure will.' I took a deep breath and walked up to them.
"Hi sorry to disturb you, but I heard that you're looking for a place." I said getting everyone's attention in the blink of an eye.
"Yes we are do you know of any inns here?" Naru asked with a cold smile like the one he wore when I first met him. 'Hmm let's have some fun with this shall we.'
"Sorry all of the inns closed down though there are people who rent part of their house for the rare times that people outside of the village decide to visit. Also if you're going to fake a smile make sure to make it believable or else it just makes you look like a well made life sized doll." I said smiling sweetly to them even though they couldn't see it.
"Naru she got you on that one." Monk said trying to muffle his laughs along with the other members of SPR while Naru just glared evilly at me.
"Sorry that was probably uncalled for. To make it up to you can stay at my house free of charge with meals included."
"Are you serious?" Ayako asked with her jaw just hanging there in pure shock that mimicked everyone else's expressions as well.
"Yep. Come on I'll take you there." Without listening to another word I just hopped back up onto my bike and revved it up. Quickly everyone was in their cars and I led them towards the huge house on the hill. Once we hit the dirt road that lead up only to the house I turned to Monk and Naru (who decided to drive for once) with a smirk in place.
"Hey are you guys up for a little race?" I asked catching confused glances from both Monk and Naru.
"Why would we do that?" Naru said shooting down the offer.
"Aw come on Naru it'll be fun, or are you afraid of having a girl beat you?" Monk teased making Naru glare at him from the rearview mirror.
"Fine I'll race."
"Yay! Okay all we need to do is fallow this road up to the huge weeping willow tree as fast as we can, and FYI I might switch to the bike trail since it's a little more challenging to ride on to level the playing field. Also before you say anything about it you can see me the whole time through the tree branches. Sound fair?"
"Whatever you say!" yelled Monk as Naru gave a little nod. 'They have no idea what they just got themselves into. Oh well let's add more fuel to the shocked fire when I finally tell them.'
"Alright! On your marks! Get set! GO!" immediately as that one word left my mouth all of the drivers sped up (myself included). I quickly turned onto the bike trail and let the forest scenery take me in. I began going so fast that a majority of the trees blended together. The adrenaline started pumping into my veins only making me enjoy the sensation of the speed and wind all the more. Soon it got to the point where the willow was marking the finish line.
Also waiting for me not even 4 yard away from me was a little ramp Mom and I built (in secrecy) for an ultimate jump. At that point and time I didn't care about the race anymore all that I cared about was ridding that ramp. Speeding up as much as I could in that amount of time and distance I hit the ramp head on sending me flying up above the trees and into plane view of the other car which were both behind me as I crossed the finish line. There was little impact as I landed gracefully without any complications. As the cars pulled up (Naru was second place) I slid to a stop right in front of the house.
""Hey are you okay!" exclaimed Naru as he jumped out of the Van and sprinted over to me as everyone else fallowed.
"Yeah I'm fine!" I leaned down, and took off my helmet while shaking my head to get my hair from sticking to the back of my neck finally looking back at them. "Just fine."
So what did you think of Mai's Prank on SPR? Well I can't wait to write their reactions in chapter three. Sorry that the chapters have been so short so far you can blame that on how hard it is to write from Naru's point of view, but don't worry when you meet Mai's Mom the chapters will be a lot better.
Naru: Well it's not my fault that you can't comprehend my logical way of thinking.
Me: More like I can't understand your stupidity. *Electric shocks shoot from the glares*
Mai: Please Review it makes things so much calmer and-NO! Naru put the dog back on the ground and Silver put down the drum sticks!
Me: Not until I beat the PK out of Naru!
Naru: In your dreams witch.
Me: How did you know?
Naru: …
Mai: Wait you're a witch?
Me: … REVIEW! *Runs from Mai and Naru with drumsticks*
Mai: Get back here!
