I don't own Ghost Hunt. Please review.
Chapter 3
They headed out of the corral and onto the trails. There were many of them. Some of them were marked and others weren't. Mai told them to stay on the main trails and not to leave without someone else. Naru and Lin stayed in back away from the others.
"So how did all of you guys learn how to ride?" Monk asked.
"Well I've had riding lessons ever since I was little. My father is wealthy and thought it would be a good way to cope with having psychic abilities. I actually have my own horse. His name is Yuki. When I was little I didn't have many friends. I was teased and called names by the other children and then when I became a star, others just wanted to be my friend because of that. Yuki was my true best friend and I can always count on him." Masako explained. "Horses are amazing creatures."
"Aren't they." Yasuhara agreed. "I was riding since I was an infant. My grandpa raised horse. He was a jockey when he was young. So when ever I would come to visit him he would take me riding. At first it was with him on his horse, but once I was big enough I rode on my own. I use to compete in competitions. I was an international champion in the juniors." He informed them proudly.
"My family was into horse too." John said. "We had a ranch. I guess if I hadn't had chosen to become a priest I would have been working on my parents' ranch. Horses are very intelligent. It was always fascinating to watch them train the horse. I have even done some training myself."
"Well. I too have been riding since I was a baby. My mom and dad loved to go riding and so they would take me with them. Sometimes I would ride with dad and sometimes I would ride with mom. My mom also made me compete. I wasn't an international champion, but I did win some medals. I always found riding to be a break from it all. Horses can just tell how you feel. They just seem to understand you and that's how you form a bond. They can be your best friend or your worst enemy." Mai finished.
"I think I'll have to do this more often." Ayako said. "It really is very calming."
"I totally love this! I feel like a real cowboy, it was always a childhood dream of mine." Monk said. They laughed and continued to joke around with each other. While Lin and Naru discussed certain matters.
"I think he knows why we're here. That's why he doesn't want us snooping around." Naru told Lin in a whisper.
"Do you think Mai is involved some how?" Lin asked.
"I don't care about Mai she has nothing to do with this. I'm here to get answers and she wouldn't have them anyways."
"You didn't come here because you were concerned for Mai's sake as well?" Lin asked again.
"No, why would I. It's her life she can deal on her own." Naru said coldly. "I'm going off to explore on my own. You stay with the group and cover for me." Naru turned his horse and rode off on a different path before Lin could object.
They continued to ride until they heard thunder. "I think we should head back." Mai told them.
"Yeah. I don't want to be out here in this storm." Yasuhara agreed.
"Is everyone still here?" Mai turned and noticed Naru was missing. "Lin, where's Naru?" Mai scowled. Lin didn't get a chance to answer as Mai began to yell. "He says that I'm stupid. He can't even follow one simple rule! He probably got himself lost, that jerk!" she turned her horse and began to gallop.
"Where are you going?" Monk called after her.
"I going to get that stupid narcissistic jerk!" she yelled back.
