Mai: Haha! Yes we finally caught you! *Ties Silver to a chair*
Naru: Now than why don't you answer some question for us?
Me: NEVER! *Turns head away* I wouldn't answer your question even if you stuck me in a room with a killer ghost.
Naru: That can be arranged.
Me: You wouldn't dare. *Glaring showdown*
Naru: Wanna bet. *Picks up Silver (still in the chair) and puts her in a haunted room*
Mai: Well as Naru tries to get Silver to answer our questions I'll do the normal intro. Silver doesn't own Ghost Hunt. She thanks everyone who reviewed back to her especially Foxgirl18 for supporting her on kicking Naru's butt in the first chapter. *Door closes* Where's Silver?
Naru: With the Killer Ghost.
Mai: NARU!
Naru: Don't worry I'll get her out at the end of the chapter.
Mai: What am I gonna do with you. Anyway REVIEW!
Naru's POV:
When our guide took off her helmet and it turned out to be Mai I was shocked beyond compare. Our little Mai who always dressed in long sleeved shirts and medium length skirts (usually accompanied by knee highs), and is such a klutz that she's a danger to herself was in an extremely revealing outfit and had been not only riding a motorcycle, but did a grand leap and was still in one peace. Another thing that surprised me was when Mai took out a camera out of nowhere and took a picture obviously wanting to preserve the fact that she got everyone shocked speechless.
Apparently everyone else was still shocked since Monk, Matsuzaki-san, John, Madoka, and Yasu's mouths were gaping while their eyes were as large as melons. Though Lin's mouth wasn't open his eyes were the same as everyone else's. Even Masako was so shocked that she had forgotten to put her sleeve up to hide her expression. While I didn't even know what my face looked like. All that I did know was that my mask had slipped, and that I was showing how shocked I really was.
"What's wrong you guys look like you've seen a ghost?" Mai said with a proud smile placed on her stunning lips breaking the silence.
"Mai why are you? How did you? What the Hell is going on?" Monk exclaimed still completely in shock but regained enough composure to actually speak. Mai just laughed at him nearly doubling over.
"What's so funny?" I asked anger starting to fill the space that shock once held. I flashed one of death glares making sure that she got that didn't want to be toyed with at the moment.
"Nothing it's just the look on your faces were priceless." She finally said through her laughter as she gasped for air.
"Mai why are you here shouldn't you be at your Mom's for the week?" Matsuzaki-san asked still wide eyed.
"What do you mean? I am at my mom's." She jabbed her thumb at the extremely wide two story (three story in some places) house behind her.
"WHAT!" Monk and Matsuzaki-san exclaimed each grabbing one of Mai's shoulders.
"This is the house you grew up in?" Monk asked.
"Since I was 5." Mai nodded stepping out of the duo's hold. "Come on want you guys to meet my family." She turned around and began walking to the front door motioning for us to fallow her. 'Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be a very long case?' I sighed and fallowed the others to the front door. When we were all there Mai turned around and had a very serious face displayed. "Alright everyone when I open this door move to either one side or the other, cause I can tell you right now it's gonna be crazy."
"Why do you say that?" Matsuzaki-san asked stepping behind Monk.
"You'll see." Mai reached for the doorknob and paused before she opened it. "And Naru brace yourself, and kiss that black shirt goodbye." Before I could ask what she was talking about she opened the door quickly jumping to her right as a large animal pounce out. Everyone fallowed Mai's lead and jumped out of the way, but before I could do that one of them pined me down to the ground with it's purple eyes glaring into my blue ones.
Mai's POV:
"Down Akuma! Relax Naru's one of my friends not a threat." I said grabbing the collar of the large back wolf-dog pulling him off of Naru. "Sorry Naru. Akuma thinks that all everyone who's dressed in all black are a threat. Well except for Dark of course."
"What the hell is that thing?" Naru spat obviously pissed off at Akuma.
"He's Dark's dog. Well wolf-dog to be accurate." I said while helping him up while trying to hold back my laughter at seeing him covered in muddy paw prints. 'Well I did warn him.' I thought as I pushed the overgrown pup inside.
"Is that even legal?" Monk asked now hiding behind Ayako in fear of the house beast making it ridiculously hard to not laugh.
"Here it is. Now how bout we go inside and I'll introduce you to Mom." I grabbed Naru and Monk's arms and pulled them in knowing that they wouldn't go in on their free will. Everyone else fell in as we took off our shoes. I lead them into the large living room making sure that Naru sat in a couch with Yasu while Monk sat on a love seat with Ayako, and the other couples sat in the other love seats. Everyone was looking around trying to figure out if they should relax or stay on edge for meeting my mom.
"Mai, tea." 'Typical. Even in my own house he still bosses me around.'
"Naru you really are something-" I began before being cut off by an ear piercing scream.
Naru's POV:
"SAKURA!" shrieked a woman's voice making everyone cover their ears. Flying down the stair case was a young woman with long blond hair and meadow green eyes. She looked around franticly before spotting Mai and grabbing her by the shoulders. "Mai there you are. Do you know where your mother has run off to?"
"Sorry Lucy-nee I don't know I just got back with some friends of mine." Mai gestured over to us causing Lucy to look over and nod before turning her attention back towards Mai.
"Well I need to find her. There are only six more days till that day and she has everything planed out except for herself. I mean who would put others before them self on such an occasion." Lucy just shook her head in confusion as Mai thought about what she just said. Finally after a minute of thinking it clicked for her and she looked at the blond slyly.
"I see so she ran away from you make-over clutches huh."
"Ran away doesn't even cover half of it. It's more like I brought out a thing of lip gloss and she sprinted out of here like a pack of hellhounds were after her."
"Well knowing here she either went to the cemetery to visit her family or into the forest to try and hide. Although if you ask me I think she's in the forest."
"Thanks Mai I'll be looking for her in the forest if you need me." With that said Lucy sprinted out of the room and out of the house. After a few minutes of silence Mai sighed and faced us with an apologetic look on her face.
"Sorry Lucy-nee is known as the life of the party in the town, and is ridiculously loud as you heard first hand."
"Well she does seem very outgoing to say the least." John said trying to come up with something that would be nice and describe her.
"That's one way to say it. Anyway Mom's probably in the green house with Aunty Momo and Chikyu." Mai said leading us through the house past the kitchen, dining room, and what looks like a large ballroom.
"Um Mai why did you tell Lucy that she was in a different location?" Hara-san asked as we walked into the huge backyard.
"Simple Mom hates and I mean HATES it when people put make-up on her or try to dress her up in outfits she doesn't think are her style, and Lucy has been trying for as long as I can remember to try and get a picture of her in a dress. So now Mom has so many hiding spots it's ridiculous, but the one she's normally in is the green house since Lucy-nee never goes in there, and she never thinks to look there so it only makes sense that she'd be there." We can up to a large glass house that had plants growing up all along the sides making it hard to see inside.
"This is one big green house. I don't think I've ever seen one this big before." Yasu said inspecting the glass with his glasses shining.
"Mom loves plants. She's always in here experimenting with different plants to create herbal medicines and teas."
"Well if you ask me I think that I could go for some of your mom's tea especially if it's iced since it's so hot out." Monk sighed fanning himself with his hand emphasizing on the heat.
"Well knowing her she'll already have 10 to 12 cups of iced tea ready for us when we enter, though I'm not sure if she's working on anything so we have to be quiet so that we don't disturb her." We all nodded in agreement and proceeded into the green house. In the center of said house were 3 tables. Two of them were short and had different leaves on them along with equipment while the third very long and in middle with 12 tea cups along with baked goods placed on it.
"Whoa this place is amazing… and is that apple pie?" Monk asked eyeing the snacks.
"Yep Mom made all of this earlier today, and see I told you she'd have iced tea ready for us. You guys take a seat and go ahead and start without us I'm gonna look for Mom, Aunty Momo, and Chikyu." Without another word Mai ran off into the forest of herbs and flowers leaving us to enjoy the spread.
"Well let's dig in we don't want to be rude to our host and not eat anything right?" Monk asked taking a slice of the apple pie that he was eyeing since he got here, though before he could take a bite Matsuzaki-san hit him with her purse. "OW! What the hell was that for?"
"You should at least wait for our hosts." She snapped scolding him as if he were a little boy.
"Ayako Mai did tell us to start without them so technically Monk did nothing wrong." John said grabbing the attention of the arguing couple. Monk flashed a victorious smile at Matsuzaki-san while she just hit him again. Masako began comforting John since his attempt to help stop them from fighting failed.
Deciding to ignore them I took a sip of the tea and my senses were taken over by a sweet sensation that had the perfect balance of sweetness without being overly sweet. It reminded me of how I felt when I first met Aoi Ookami and Mai. 'Wait since when has Mai ever been in the picture?' I shook that though out of my head and returned to enjoying the tea.
"Enjoying the tea Noll?" Madoka asked as she stared at me with sparkling eyes as she took a bite of strawberry shortcake.
"As a matter of fact I am. It seems that Mai has gained her mother's ability to make good tea." I said taking another sip.
"Well just make sure you don't go crushing on her Mom cause Mai'll kill you if you do." Yasuhara joked finishing up his tea.
"Hey everyone sorry for the wait." Mai stepped out of the path and had her arms around other women's arms nearly dragging them over to us.
Both women looked at least 20 years old. They were most likely her elder sisters like Lucy was. They were both the same height and were about a head taller than Mai. They also had milk chocolate eyes that seemed shined like stars when they smiled. However their hair colors, auras, and ensembles were completely different.
The one on Mai's right had bright pink hair that swept down to the floor in a high pony tail that was tied up in a white ribbon. Her aura seemed so loving and caring that I began to feel warmth growing in my chest. She wore a pale yellow loose blouse that was laced at the collar and a long pale green flowing skirt that moved with her. On top of that she wore a white lab coat, and had thin rectangular silver glasses.
The one on Mai's left however had bright orange hair that was also held up in a pony tail, but was lower and her hair reached the small of her back. The aura that surrounded her was well let's just say that it scarred the living shit out of me was the understatement of the year though I will never admit it to anyone. She wore a tight maroon button down shirt and tight short shorts. She also had a white lab coat, and had black lace gloves on.
"Alright time for introductions! That's-"
"John, Masako, Ayako, Monk, Yasu, Lin, Madoka, and the famous narcissist Naru." Said the pink haired woman smiling warmly as she pointed to each of us as she called our names.
"Honestly Sakura you need to really cut down on how much you pay attention to things." Said the orange haired woman.
"Oh calm down Momo. Since you don't pay attention than that means that I have to silly." Sakura said sweetly never losing her smile.
"How did you know our names?" I asked skeptically looking at Mai to see if she told them only to have her shake her head."
"Mai isn't the only physic in the family." Momo said with an edge to her voice obviously showing some annoyance.
"Anyway everyone to my left is my Aunty Momo." Mai turned and gave her a warm hug which was returned with a bone crushing one from her aunt. Then she turned and hugged Sakura as she nuzzled closer to her. "And this is Sakura Silver A.K.A. my Mom!" Mai has officially set a new record for me on how many times that she can shock me till my expressions show which now currently stands at three times in one day, and for some reason I have a feeling that the surprises are going to keep on coming. All that I can say is that this is going to a long week.
So what did you think about Mai's adoptive mom being so young? Also sorry about if Naru is OCC. It's just so hard to write him for some reason. Oh well please review, and can someone get me out of this Gods forsaken thing that Naru put me in?
Ghost: I'll get you out.
Me: Really?
Ghost: Sure it's better than scarring the other two out there. *Unties Silver*
Me: Thank you thank you thank you! Oh my Gods I thought that I was going to go insane if I had to sit there for another minute. Anyway why's a nice ghost like you doing here instead of crossing over into the light?
Ghost: I'm afraid.
Me: Don't be you'll be in heaven once you go through so no worries right?
Ghost: Right. Thank you.
Me: No prob. Now I need to come up with an idea to get back at Naru and Mai. Hmmmmm *Paces around the room looking for things that could work against them.* Oh what do we have here? *Picks up a black book with Naru's name on it* Oh now this will work wonders. *Laughs evilly*
(In another room)
Mai and Naru: *Shivers go up there spines*
