Wow thank you so much for the reviews! I'm sorry I took so long to update, I was very sick the past week and my work took most of my attention even on my day's off I was recuperating... Sorry... On with the story
*Amusement park arc closed* *fear arc opens*
disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Hunt
"Geez! I'm fine, stop bothering me!" The brunette exclaimed as she tried her best to avoid being captured by an old lady in a nurse outfit...
"Taniyama-san you shouldn't be out of your bed, the doctor said that you should rest!" Somehow she was able to corner Mai just in time for Naru to witness her doing a not so lady like dash between the old lady's legs...
Amusement sparked in his eyes, Lin could tell with just a glance but the teen was far too entertain to avoid the collision that Mai did when she tried to run off... Her face was priceless... Different shades of red that changed every second... Oh how he wished to have bring a camera with him...
"N-NARU? Wh-what are you doing here?" She quickly got off him, trying to change the fact that she had made such a display...
"Obviously to come and get you" he answered her with a smirk, he could never get bored when Mai was around...
Her head lean to one side in confusion... truly adorable if it wasn't for the fact that she was in a hospital gown...
...
"Thank you for getting me out, I couldn't stand another night there... They thought I was sick from the heart when it started beeping whenever I felt a ghost close by... It was truly awful" she said nonchalantly... Naru only raised an eyebrow, not really wanting to go on details... But amazed at the ghost magnet she could be..
"Ah wait a second, I recently changed my number... Please hold on while I give you my new information" Mai said as she quickly got out of the van and into her house... Not really waiting for the reply of both men and Naru could only glance at Lin whom nodded to answer him... He sighed 'really this girl, knew no time or place for such things'
She quickly came back, with a paper in hand... "You know, if you would had used your brain you could have given this to us tomorrow at the office" Naru commented wanting to annoy her
"Narcissist! Jerk!-*boooom*
Her words were halted by the explosion behind her... Ears still ringing she turned around to see her house on fire... She stood up from the ground... Lin and Naru not in her mind but... The album... Her mother's pictures! She launch in to the fire, ignoring the shouts from her boss...
'what the hell happened?' even with his super brain, he had a hard time getting his thoughts in order... 'why on Earth was the van glass scattered? Why was Lin's forehead bleeding? Why was his ears ringing? Why... Why was Mai running towards a fireball? Mai? Fire? Sh*t! ' "MAI!" He screamed already opening his door to chase her...
He grabbed her hand, but she quickly brush it off, she got inside her room, Naru not that far from her... The heat was intense but she quickly took the now almost black coal album with her...
He cursed under his breath, the roof was about to give up on them... But he saw her retreating and once again tried to grab her, this time she didn't resist .. "idiot!" He shouted as he got her out...he guided her towards the van and he turned around to see the building collapse...Lin quickly went by their side, phone against his ear... And with a quick good bye he turned to Naru...
"The firetruck and the police are on their way"
Naru just nodded, anger finally making way in his eyes... He turned around to share a piece of his mind with his stupid assistant... But was halted by the sight...
Mai, she was freakinly searching the album for a picture, just one... One that was safe from being turned into charcoal... The album itself turned to dust whenever she touched it... But even so she tried... Her eyes wide with fear and her lips trembling... She stopped there... One... The sides where burned but she could clearly see her mother in it... She smiled tears of relief ran out from her as she hugged the picture against her chest... Naru just turned back to the house his eyes now held a dangerous spark in them and Lin having witnessed this could only pray for the poor soul that tried to mess with Mai...even he, himself wouldn't show any mercy.
...
"I sincerely apologize for the bad experience Taniyama-san... I know this is sudden but please consider that we relocate you... And change your name... This was not the first time you reported an incident but this time it was a bigger one in comparison to the previous ones please let me know once you take your decision... We will do our best to capture the culprit but please refrain from being alone..." Certainly a lot could be heard from where Naru and Lin were... Of course the police will offer this, it was only logical but he hated it... Every single word felt like they were trying to take her from him...his grip tightened but soon relaxed when he heard her reply.
"The culprit most likely think I'm dead, I would still like to stay till I end my high school... It's just a couple of months I'm sure I can still manage that... But if it were to escalate I will be sure to contact you again... Thank you so much for the offer."
Mai and the police officer bowed to each other before they went their ways...
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting... And I'm sorry for what happened to the van... Lin-san how's your head? she asked shyly
"No need to worry it's only a scratch" he said and she visibly relaxed
"Thank goodness" in a whisper her small smile made way
"Where would you stay tonight Mai-san?" Lin asked changing to her name... She instantly cheer up... A true smile brace her lips... Much to Naru's jealousy...
"I think I will call Bou-san or Ayako and see if they can have me for a while"
"No, it's better if you stay with us" Naru cut in... Lin already suppect it, that's why he brought in the subject... But Mai... Well her face was once again priceless.
Just so you know yes she will move with them... And yes it will get interesting especially her senior trip... Oups too much spoilers! See you soon! Please review!
