Hey guys! Sorry for the super late update! I've been busy for the past month or 2. So, I'll be posting two chapters to make that up. Here's the first one!

Hope you like it!

I'm sorry if it's too short for your liking!

And some characters might be OOC and I DO NOT OWN GHOST HUNT!


When dawn breaks, the trio started their journey to the city, They traveled along the stream since it leads to the ocean where the dock for the ships are located. Mai was talking to Gene, telling him about her memories in the orphanage while Noll was behind them trying to read a parchment. When mid-day arrived, the trio decided to take a break and have lunch. Gene was assigned to find woods for fire and Mai to catch some fish while Noll… well he's still reading or so it seems.

He watched Mai slip and fall on the knee deep stream, trying not to laugh at the sound of her voice and the look that she makes with her face. "Stupid fish, stay still" he heard. 'Just like how I remembered her' he thought.

Flashback:

It was a week after Urado first arrive at the palace. The twins, Miroku and Maiyu, were taking horseback riding lessons while the emperor attends some business and his wife to entertain some guests.

"Nii-chan" Maiyu called from her black stallion.

Miroku, who was done with his lessons, looked at her and waited for her reply.

"Why are you leaving early?" she asked.

"I'm done with my lessons, Maiyu-chan, and father wants to see me" he said and waved to her goodbye.

Maiyu sighed and continued her lesson with her sensei.

She finished just in time for lunch and after changing to a pink dress with ruffles, she walked down the grand staircase and found a boy reading a book. 'I've never seen him before' she thought. She curiously walked towards to him and when she was about to say something, she saw her mother.

"Maiyu-chan, I'm glad you're here" her mother started.

"We have guests in the palace and that young boy over there might need some company"

"Ok, okasan!"

"That's my girl, I'll see you at the dining hall shortly" her mother told her and left to attend some guests.

"Hi!" Maiyu greeted while standing in front of the boy.

The said boy lowered his book and stared at the her. He checked her out before he continued reading. Maiyu thought that he was rude, she then saw that he was reading a book about fishing.

"You know, I'm really good at catching fish, my nii-san taught me" she said.

"Oh yeah?" she heard him.

"Uh-huh"

The boy closed the book and stared at her. Somehow, he finds the girl to be really cute for her age. Short brown hair tied up into two ponytails on the side of her head, long eyelashes, pinkish lips, and a pair of big brown eyes.

"Care to show me how it's done?" he said.

Mai didn't answer since she was mesmerized by the boy's features. Sure he has a pale skin and seems arrogant but his dark short messy hair seems to compliment his complexion and his dark blue eyes does the same. Mai noticed him staring at her and she blushed a little bit. "I'm sorry" she muttered.

"Well, are you going to show me how it's done? If not then you can leave me alone with my book" he said.

"I'll show you, come follow me to the pond" she told him, 'I can't even catch a butterfly so how am I going to do this?' she thought.

When they arrived at the pond, Mai took off her pink dress and threw it at nearby rock. She was left with a white long-sleeved shirt and pink shorts. The boy watch her closely as she went in the water. She rolled up her sleeves and waited for the koi fish to come near her. When the fish was right in front of her, she jumped and tried to grab it with her bare hands. She ended up doing a half-belly flop as she slip and fall in the water with a small yelp. She tried numerous times and ended up the same. "Stupid fish, stay still" she ordered. The boy who was now sitting by the rock tried to suppress his laughter as he watch the girl make a fool of herself.

"Ok, I give up! I can't and don't know how to catch a fish…" she admitted in defeat. She got out of the pond and sat near him. "You're such an idiot for trying" she heard him. "Hey! I'm not an idiot! I'm Maiyu princess of the-"

"Mai" he interrupted.

"W-what?"

"I'll call you 'Mai'" he informed her as he stood up.

"B-but…"

"Noll"

"What?"

"My name is Noll" he helped her stand up as he watch her stare at him in disbelief.

"Are you getting dress or not? If I'm not mistaking, your mother informed you to be at the dinning hall shortly" he said, emphasizing on the word 'shortly.' Maiyu's eyes widened and hurried to put on her dress.

End of flashback.

Noll smiled at the memory he once shared with the princess, he didn't even notice his brother come up behind him, carrying some woods.

"I'm guessing that Mai entertained you for the time being" Gene said.

Noll didn't reply, he just continued watching the brown haired girl make a fool of herself.


So? How was it?
