I totally forgot I was on spring break right now! Yay more writing time for me! Here is my latest chapter...Enjoy.
"Mother what are you doing here?" Naru asked trying to hide the annoyance in his voice. Mai stepped down the stairs quietly wanting to hear their conversation.
"Well, Madoka called me of course to visit which usually means you did something she didn't like." Luella said placing her hands on her hips. "Noll, what did you do?" She asked sternly, making Naru look more and more like a guilty child who was arguing with his mother.
"I guess I shouldn't have taken her phone." he muttered under his breath fiddling with the pink and blue phone in his pants pocket. Luella glared at him and commanded him to turn out his pockets.
He sighed loudly and did as he was told, revealing Madoka's cell phone. Luella clucked her tongue in disappointment and snatched the phone. "That's why she called me on Lin's phone." She mumbled to herself, Naru heard it however and balled up his fists. Lin was going to get extra work from him.
"While I am here though, how about the three of us go and get some dinner." Luella smiled ear to ear, she turned around and grabbed Mai's wrists pleading for the small brunette to make her son go to dinner with her.
"Well, I guess it couldn't be that bad?" Mai squeaked trying desperately to see Naru's face from behind Luella's big hair. When she finally did see Naru he had his face in the palm of his hand and Mai knew she answered wrong.
"Great! Now I'll go and get ready, do you two mind if I invite Madoka and Lin as well? Be at this address at seven okay Noll?" Luella spoke so fast neither of them could get another word in so Mai just smiled blankly at the woman and Naru narrowed his eyes.
After the tornado of a woman had left, Naru pulled out his own phone and punched in the address so he wouldn't forget it. Next he looked at Mai, not with anger or frustration though, with a teasing mischievous smirk.
"I hope you know what you've just gotten yourself into." He smiled as he put his arm around her and they left the classroom shutting off the lights behind them.
They walked back to Mai's room first and then Naru told her he'd pick her up around six thirty, she nodded and entered her dorm room.
Kiwi and Keisha seemed to be in the middle of an intense Pokemon battle and Mai laughed as she slung her purse onto the bed.
"What's so funny Taniyama?" Kiwi asked wining the game and collecting all of the card Keisha had bet. Keisha slammed her face into a pillow and pounded her fists against the floor in a mock temper tantrum.
"Nothing," Mai said absently. "Don't you two have lives? Mainly you Kiwi, you're always in here, even more than Keisha sometimes its hard to believe you're not my roommate." Mai sighed making Kiwi throw back his head in evil laughter he had clearly rehearsed before.
Then he was silent and she felt him staring at the back of her head while she wrote down the notes from her last class, she turned around and noticed his eyes were a dark dark blue rather than the usual light violet.
"Are you alright Kiwi?" She asked worriedly, either she was hallucinating from going on too many cases or there really was something wrong.
"Huh? Oh me, I'm fine," He smiled crookedly his eyes dulling back to their regular purple. He pushed up his glasses with his index finger letting a devious smirk slide across his expression. Mai then knew what he had done.
Her face went hot and she knew that the evil blush that always swept her face at the most inopportune times had returned. Kiwi upon figuring out that she knew smiled wider.
"Stay out of my head you-you- privacy invading alien!" Mai shouted throwing a pillow at him which he easily evaded. Keisha meanwhile was laughing her head off so Mai grabbed her other pillow and chucked it her way hitting her red haired roommate square in the face.
"I've never actually heard of a privacy invading alien, but you know Professor Davis is going to be here any minute." Kiwi said glancing at the clock which read six thirty. Mai squeaked and rummaged through her drawers for something to wear.
Her phone went off in the corner of the room and she leaped to check it. It was Naru.
U ready? He had texted. Mai laughed at the fact her teacher had used the letter U rather than just writing out the word.
She hurriedly texted back, Not quite I forgot. :(
Almost as soon as she sent the message he replied, No problem. Ask your roommate for a dress. See U in 5 Then she assumed he had stopped texting her.
She turned to Keisha her face flushing red. Keisha, who had somehow moved to read her texts over Mai's shoulder smiled and hopped to her closet pulling out a variety of brightly coloured dresses.
After about two minutes of frantically searching for the right dress, as Keisha had insisted they do, they decided on a long sleeved army green one with a bead belt tied loosely at the waist. It came down to about her knees and then she had her usual black converse.
Looking in the mirror she had to admit she looked good. Keisha really knew what she was doing.
There was a knock at the door and Kiwi answered making sure to hide the deep blue of his eyes as he stared at Naru's shoes reading his mind.
Stay out of my head Mr. Delain. I will fail you for cheating if you continue to use your telepathy on me. Naru thought making Kiwi look up the blue fading back to violet in his eyes.
Kiwi stepped aside letting Naru into the room, he looked pretty normal, only instead of his usual black dress shirt he wore a really dark blue one. It matched his eyes.
Mai grabbed her purse and then waved goodbye to her friends before leaving with Naru to the parking lot. Where she expected to see the black SPR van she was surprised to see a black Jeep with no roof and no doors. She looked at him with an arched eyebrow.
After helping her into the Jeep he swooped in himself using the bar above them to keep from falling out as he did so.
Once he started the car Mai buckled her seat belt. He did the same and then they took off into the evening traffic. To Mai's surprise Naru was a pretty reckless driver, taking sharp turns and weaving through traffic. Mai had gripped the bar that hung above their heads to keep herself steady, the wind from how fast he went blew her hair in every direction making her blow it our of her face.
The corners of Naru's mouth twitched up as he flipped his own hair out of his face. Then she realized he was doing this on purpose. She glared at him but he ignored it taking another sharp turn.
Mai decided that she had to retaliate somehow. She looked around for something she could do to annoy him, but all she could come up with was music. She pressed the on button on his stereo and cranked the volume to full.
I've just seen a face I cant forget the time or place where we just met, She's just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we've met, woah woah woah woah woah, Fallin yes I am fallin and she keeps calling me back again. Naru seemed to hate the music enough he turned it off instantly and to Mai's delight slowed down a bit, but they were only a few more streets till the restaurant so it didn't really make a difference.
Once he had safely parked the car he helped Mai out and took her by the hand leading her into the building. It was cute. Not at all what she'd expected. Wooden floors and wooden paneling along the walls, a few pretty paintings of abstract scenes decorated the walls as well.
She found a table that sat the bouncing high energy woman that was Naru's mother. She sat on her phone and Naru heard his go off, she clearly didn't know they were already there. When Naru sat across from her and Mai beside him they sat in silence for a moment and Mai swallowed awkwardly.
"Noll, I heard from Lin that Curio visited you." She said the usual energetic fun from her voice wasn't quite there. Perhaps Naru wasn't the only member of the family that hated the flamboyant man.
Naru ordered some tea as a waitress passed, the waitress winked at him and made him some tea. Naru shifted in his seat.
"Yes, he did. But He left and I haven't seen him since." Naru said quietly, by then Madoka came through he door, Lin trailing behind her apologizing for her loudness to the staff and costumers alike.
Madoka came and sat herself right beside Luella leaving the only other seat at the oddly shaped table beside Naru and Madoka. Lin shook off the glares his younger friend was giving him.
"Madoka! I have your phone so you wont need to take Lin's anymore." Luella smiled handing Madoka her phone , Madoka smiled and posted the pictures on her phone of Naru and Mai to her social media page.
"Noll, you can top glaring at me now, I understand you are upset." Lin said coolly, the waitress returned with Naru's tea making sure to set it down very close to him so she brush her hands against his as he took the cup.
"Anything else?" The waitress said smoothly, Naru shook his head, apparently oblivious, Madoka and Luella of course weren't.
"look girly, he is clearly not interested so I suggest you try hitting on some other customer, plus he has a girlfriend!" Luella snapped at the waitress smiling politely at Mai who felt shivers crawl up her arms as she saw the scary side of Naru's mother.
Naru rolled his eyes as the waitress left. The corners of Lin's mouth twitched upward as he saw the look on Mai's face. She was more than afraid of Naru's mom now.
"What are you smirking at!?" Luella glared at Lin making him drop the smile immediately. Madoka laughed and continued to chat with her friend all through the evening.
At some point Mai fell asleep, from not being included in the conversation for at least an hour and a half. Her head rolled onto Naru's shoulder, thankfully the chairs weren't too far apart and she didn't fall through the crack.
Madoka instinctively reached for her phone. Naru glared at her but being Madoka she ignored it.
"Madoka I recommend not taking a picture right now." Lin said calmly, Madoka narrowed her eyes at him and he stared back, they seemed to be having a staring contest, Lin ended up wining and Madoka slipped the phone back in her pocket.
Naru nodded his head in thanks to Lin, and Lin returned the gesture. Good, he was no longer on Naru's bad side.
After everyone was finished Naru shook Mai awake, she jumped up pretending she had not been asleep for the past half an hour. Naru smiled at her, the kind of smile that Gene would give, a real one.
They got back in the Jeep and Naru made sure to drive more carefully back to the college. Once they got there in one piece, Naru helped Mai out of the Jeep and and walked her back to her room. He paused outside the door and took both her hands.
"I hope you learned your lesson about going places with my mother." Naru joked and Mai nodded quickly.
"I mean I like her and all, but she's-" Mai drifted off bot really knowing how to describe her, Naru smiled again, twice in one night. That waitress must have drugged his tea.
"Scary." Naru said making Mai laugh lightly. After a moment of silence with them just standing in the hallway, he kissed her goodnight and left for his own room.
Mai opened the door to fins Kiwi and Keisha scrambling on all fours away from it. They were eavesdropping. Mai rolled her eyes and fell asleep while kiwi and Keisha watched some movie about a pirate named Jack.
Well, I admit that was a bit boring but I needed to explain what Luella was doing there...think of it as a filler. Also I do not own Ghost Hunt or Pokemon or pirates of the Caribbean (Unless you count the DVD) REVIEW and stay tuned! XD
