A/N: So here is a Ghost Hunt story! It's Mai x OC at first, but may turn into Mai being with another Ghost Hunt character. I'm unsure who...maybe Lin. And just so you know I may have used some names from Ouran Host Club and such, but this isn't a crossover.

Enjoy!


Chapter 4: Different


Mai moved about the large apartment, pulling on some clothes. She had been staying in Kyoya's spare room and to be frank she felt kind of like she should be sharing with him. She was his girlfriend and she felt they were serious enough. But then again...sleeping next to him would lead to sleeping with him. She wasn't sure if she was truly ready for that. It would take a lot of commitment and also it would be her giving so much to him.

She shook her head to rid herself of the thoughts as she finished dressing. She grabbed her purse and left the room, slipping down the stairs. When she reached the main room, she saw Kyoya setting some breakfast on the table. She smiled at him.

"Good morning," she said softly.

He looked up and smiled, approaching her. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her gently. "Good morning. Did you sleep okay here? Is there anything you needed?"

Mai shook her head. "Nope! I was comfortable and had everything I could possibly need or want! Thank you so much for this Kyoya."

He smiled softly. "Good. You know...I do wish you'd just completely move in with me...into my room?"

Mai flushed lightly. "Kyoya...I just don't know if I'm ready for that. That's all. I want to be ready to take that step completely."

He sighed. "You know...I'm not asking you to have sex with me. Just...sleep next to me. You'll make the first move when it comes to sex. I promise you that."

Mai bit her lip, looking away for a moment. "I...I'll think about it, okay? I just...I have to go to the office today. I'm sure Kazuya will be calling me again today and may be a bit upset that I still haven't gone in."

Kyoya nodded and turned away to grab her coat. Then he helped her put it on. "Are you sure you want to work with him again? You never did tell me exactly what happened between you two. Other than the fact you had feelings for him."

Mai sighed. "I...I will tell you. Just...later. Not right now."

He frowned behind her, but she didn't see it. He sighed. "Did you want me to call a car for you?"

"Oh you don't have to! I can take the tram system!"

"No I insist. Please? For my own piece of mind?" Kyoya said, smiling as the lights glinted off of his glasses.

She sighed and finally gave in. "Alright...but nothing too ostentatious."

Mai climbed from the black car, sending a glare at the sleek, expensive look of it. And this was the less flashy one? She would hate to see the flashy one. She sighed and adjusted her coat before walking to the office. She climbed the stairs and stopped before the door. She could hear the familiar chatter in the room and bit her lip. Finally she steeled her resolve and opened the door. As it opened and she stepped inside, all talking and laughing stopped. Then…

"Jou-chan!" Monk yelled in happiness, hoping she would be more receptive. He decided to try and hug her again.

He jumped up to hug her and Mai side stepped him, biting her lip. She hated doing this but...she needed to keep her distance. Monk frowned, looking hurt for a moment before he smiled softly and took his seat again. Ayako smiled at her, but didn't jump up because of the reaction Mai had to Monk.

"Hello Mai! It's good to see you again," Ayako said with a smile.

Mai smiled politely, and looked at the others in the room. "Hello...everyone."

Masako narrowed her eyes. Was she here to take Naru from her? She spent all this time finally getting him to want to date her. "Mai. I wasn't aware you were working with us again."

"Well Naru called me the other day, and I agreed to work here again. But I cannot start until sometime next week," Mai said strongly to Masako.

"You're late."

She turned, and saw Naru again. She almost smiled when she realized that her heart still didn't speed up at the sight of him. Now it seems it only happens with Kyoya. Maybe she should just give in and let him have all of her.

"My apartment became compromised so I had to move. I will not be able to return to work until I replace my clothes and finish moving into the new apartment," she said. She didn't need to tell them that she moved in with her boyfriend.

Noll narrowed his eyes but nodded. "Fine. As long as you make me tea before you leave today. Everyone else is rubbish at it."

Masako huffed, looking away. Mai shrugged. "Fine. But don't expect me to do it all day today. Or all day every other work day as well."

Noll frowned. "And why is that? You've never had a problem with it before."

"Because I am not a maid. I am more than that and if you really need a tea maid, then I can look elsewhere to open up that position," Mai said.

Lin slipped out of his office, glancing at Mai and then nodded at her in greeting. He took his spot on the couch. Noll sighed.

"Fine. I won't ask you to make tea every hour," he said.

Mai smiled. "Good! Can I start next Monday? That way I can come in here in the morning, on time? I also need to pick up some work clothes, as I said."

Noll looked away. "Very well. Monday at eight."

"Yes, sir," Mai said before saying good bye quickly and slipping out of the office.

Ayako frowned. "She left so quickly…"

"Yeah," Monk agreed, "And she has changed a lot. I'm worried about her. Especially after hearing that her apartment had been compromised. Could that mean it was broken into?"

"It's likely," Lin said, frowning in worry over the girl.
