Guess who's sick guys?! Yep, if you said me, you're right. I feel like crap, which means this chapter is probably going to be crap, or just really confusing. =P Do apologize for it though.
Anyway, have fun, and thanks for reading.
*Narrator's P.O.V.*
"Way to go, Naru," Monk said, crossing his arms. "You're attitude made her run off."
Naru didn't say anything, he simply continued to look over the temperature's gathered by Mai. Once he finished looking them over, he gave them to Lin, who proceeded to put them in his computer.
"What is your problem anyway?" Monk asked.
Naru narrowed his eyes at Monk. "My 'problem' isn't any of your concern." That was the end of the conversation. Just the bitter tone that Naru said it with made Monk shiver, meaning he didn't want to ask anymore anytime soon.
"Um," John interrupted, "shouldn't we go after her? We aren't really sure how dangerous this place is yet."
Naru sighed. "Her running off just shows how immature she is. Just leave her be." Naru then turned his back to Monk and John, focusing on the monitors, which were showing nothing.
"What happens if we have an incident happen like that other case?" Monk spoke.
Naru gritted his teeth, but still didn't turn around to answer Monk. Naru grabbed his notebook and walked towards the door. "I'm going to ask Mrs. Yakuzawa a few more questions. Stay put." Naru then disappeared out the door.
"I have a feeling we made things worse…" John muttered, giving a weak smile to Monk.
Monk crossed his arms and frowned. "Still doesn't give him the right to be such a jerk to Mai. She hasn't done anything to him!"
Lin soon turned around in his chair, actually voicing his opinion of the situation. "Actually, I believe…"
Monk and John's eyes widened, pretty soon both were laughing. Lin wondered if he had said something wrong, but he couldn't think how his deduction could be wrong. Lin really couldn't process the idea that Monk and John were laughing at the idea of Naru being worried over Mai, due to the last case.
*Mai's P.O.V.*
"I think I'm lost…" I muttered, looking around the hallway I had turned down. I had turned corners, too many corner to be sure of where I was. I was lost.
But being lost was the last thing on my mind.
I really shouldn't have said those things to him… I thought, dragging my feet as I continued to walk. Sure, he deserved it…but maybe it was a bit to much. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and continued to rerun the words I said to Naru in my head. I shouldn't have complained about him not saying 'thank you' to me… After all, I haven't really thanked him from the case last time…
I scowled at the floor. Wait a minute! Why am I thinking about all this?! He's the one being a complete jerk to everyone!
I sighed, knowing I was in the wrong anyway. I needed to go back and apologize. Well, I need to find my way back first.
Running off was probably the stupidest thing you could have done, Mai… I thought.
I heard a small thud behind me, making me jump a bit. I quickly turned around to see one of the dolls had fallen onto the floor. I sighed, feeling a bit relieved. It was better then a ghost appearing.
"Mai?"
I perked when I suddenly heard a familiar voice. I quickly ran down the hall to the corner I had turned moments ago, only to see the familiar voiced to belonged to the person I had yelled at minutes ago.
Uh-oh… I thought, suddenly feeling frightened when he saw me. Did he come to yell at me?!
"So this is where you ran off to," Naru said, crossing his arms and frowning at me. I lowered my head, feeling he was going to scold me. "At least you didn't run off to far…" I looked back of, shocked at hearing a bit of relief in his voice.
"Were you worried?" I questioned, not knowing I had voice my thoughts completely.
Naru looked at me with narrowed eyes. "Of course." My face went red. "If you had run off and gotten yourself into trouble, who would do all the grunt work?" I glared.
"Well, you can always do it!" I said, putting my hands on my hips.
Naru gave me his narcissistic smirk and laughed. "And ruin my beautiful appearance? Unlikely." Naru then turned his back to me as I continued to feel the fire of hatred burning in me. "Come on, Mai, we still have work to do."
I quickly followed behind, forgetting that I was ever angry at him.
*Narrator's P.O.V.*
"You're looking for Mr. Shibuya?" Melissa questioned, tilting her head.
"Yes," John answered, "he told us he was coming to speak with you."
Melissa crossed her arms and frowned. "Well, he was here a few minutes ago."
"Any idea where he went?" Monk questioned.
Melissa nodded. "He asked me if I had seen Miss Taniyama and I told him I had seen her running down the hall moments ago." Melissa pointed down a dark corridor, probably the only corridor that didn't look too inviting. "He soon left to follow her. Since then, I haven't seen either of them."
Monk and John thanked Melissa and she left to go tend to her children. Monk and John looked at each other, both thinking the same thing:
Was Lin's deduction actually right?
Like I said, completely didn't care about this chapter. Sorry about that, just felt like writing and this is what came out. I'm sure I'll link it together in someway or another.
Do hope you enjoyed. Thanks for reading.
