Well I must say, this is kind of taking longer than I thought it will xD but I learned to not rush my stories like the previous ones (ghost hunt red ball) so please keep up with me, the main point of fear arc will come soon...
Disclaimer I don't own Ghost Hunt
"N-Naru" Mai call out his name, his lips were possessively on her's which made it difficult to talk "n- ... Not h-here... Mph... Naru!"
He parted from her, licking up his upper lip sexily "you make it sound like I'm doing something more than a kiss" he smirked at her red face, as he allowed her to have some space...
"Well excuse me but, I haven't put my shirt back on and you were on top of me running your hands on my belly"
"Well you didn't seem to dislike it"
"I- I don't but.. what if.. someone came in?" Mai adverted her tomato red face as she put on her shirt wincing a bit when it brushed her bandages...
"They will leave?" He teased her with a small evil smirk
"No Naru, bad Naru! It might had been a client, you Know what I mean, you are a genius so don't play dumb" she crossed her arms and pouted
His smirk grew "so what do you suggest we do?"he really was enjoying teasing her...
Her blush intensified, for a moment she was lost for words but then an idea pop up and she grinned while she told it to him "then take me on a date! There's a festival that's been going on for a week and by this time it shouldn't be that crowded"
"...no" he was indeed surprised by her reply, in fact he had expected her to shy away... And this idea was actually sounding good but... She might be in danger
"Why? If you're thinking it might be dangerous, then Lin and Madoka-san can follow us from a distance" she insisted, not really wanting to be guarded but wanting to go on a date with him
"Mai-" he began but was cut off by her pleas "come on Naru, if I get accepted in your father's University and have to move to England I'm pretty sure I won't be able to assist a Japanese festival again" this time her big brown eyes did saddened
"Fine" he accepted defeat, Mai :1 Naru:^10
She literally jumped from joy, "then, I will go get ready!" She picked up her phone and called her friend from school, the last he could hear before she got out was: 'Mizuri remembered the time you offer me to wear.. '
Naru sighed and picked up his phone as well dialing Lin's number from memory "Lin tell me you found something"
"Yes, it seems these guys were hired by a man called Emiliano upon further investigation, Hirota-san managed to find a file in the criminal records... He had a restriction order for Mrs. Taniyama... Mai-san's mother, after a year he was charged for involuntary manslaughter and had a charge of eight years of confinement but was released a year early due to good conduct"
"...where is he now?" Naru asked the hatred in his voice could be heard
"He is inside Japan since there's no record of him leaving the country, but his address was changed so many times, they actually lost connection... Hirota-san is already on the lookout if they are able to find him, they will interrogate him under the suspicion of attempted kidnap"
Lin heard Naru muttered under his breath far from the line the words "useless... Government" (T/N no offense, I just wanted to dwell on Naru's experience finding Gene's body by his own account)
"Lin come back and contact Madoka... We will go to a festival later"
Before his assistant could even ask he cut the line... Naru hated that he will need to ask her about the murder of her mother... After all she did said she was not comfortable talking about it... A small groan left his lips.. and resolve settle in...if it meant it will help him protect her.. he will go through it.
...
With resolve in his mind he leaned on the torii gate waiting for Mai to make an appearance.. meanwhile Madoka and Lin decided to go ahead of them...
He was really getting annoyed, girls tried to get him to go with them... And he had refused so many already he might be labeled as a heart breaker...
"Sorry Naru I'm late!" Her voice came from behind him, he was ready to scowl her... But when he turned around he was at lost of words...
"So...? What do you think?" She said as she posed for him "instead of the usual long Japanese kimono, Mizuri convinced me to wear a short one, if something were to happen I can move around more easily"she smiled greatly at him.
She was wearing a red flower ornament on her hair making her look even more beautiful, her short kimono was both red and black and she was wearing red laced sandals that climbed her legs and stopped just before the knee... For a change she was even wearing earrings
He slowly nodded recovering his usual unreadable face "you look beautiful" he kinda whispered... Which made her blush and smiled.. while she did that her sight took in notice of the girls staring at him... Naru on the other side had looked to a group of boys on the opposite street.. slowly their eyes went up and down to look at Mai's body.. he sent glares to them but they were to focused on her to notice him...
"Naru, please show me your hand" her voice was serious and had a glint of anger in it, he quickly turned his attention to her and raised his hand to her.. eyebrows raised when she possessively interlaced her arm with his, she turned his hand's back palm to her lips while her back palm faced him...
Her lips landed on the back of his palm, stunning him for a second until he felt her suck in... It didn't last long but it did leave a kiss mark "there! Now you are mine, no one can try to pick on you anymore" an evil small smirk was planted on her face as well as a small blush.. he turned to face her direction and the girls he had previously refused started to leave..
A small tint of blush treated to make way on his face but he control it before it did.. he turned to look at the boys and they were now glaring at him... He smirked bringing Mai close to him and landing a small kiss on her lips...
"Eh? I didn't do that because I thought you hated public attention" Mai said shocked
He didn't answer and instead continue to held her hand as they walked, she just giggled at his lack of reply..
Madoka and Lin soon started to follow them in a considerable distance... a shooting stand caught Mai's attention and she kinda dragged Naru to it
"Ne, Naru let's try!"
"You will probably end up failing all your shots, and wasting up all your money"
"Will Not! I will show you, I will take at least one down! She angrily paid and aimed for the figure... 2out of 3 shots failed
He snickered "You were saying"
"Sh-shut up! This time I won't fail" she aimed while she talked, and she accidentally fired when she heard his chuckle... She turned to glare at him, he couldn't help but suppress his laughter... She was about to scowl him but they heard an item fall and the stand man went to pick up the figure..
"Congrats young lady! Here is your reward!" The old man said handing her a blue monkey that could cling on your arm... Instant joy could be seen in her eyes... she turned to look at Naru with a smirk on her face.
"You were saying? *Giggles* You will have to wear this all night as a punishment for laughing at me" she said while she grasped the monkey to his arm. Giggling all the way back
"It was a lucky shot, it doesn't count... and you really think this will embarrassed me?he said pointing at the monkey and raising an eyebrow, she just laughed and didn't answer
The old man seemed to side with Naru and asked "we have a matching pink one as well, would you like to try Mister?" She froze in her laugh and quickly responded for Naru
"I doubt the great Naru-chan will even try, but we thank you for the offer"
"Hold it.. I will get it, and you will have to wear it" his smirk grew with her reaction, she really didn't want it, but she asked for it, she had added Chan to his nickname... She deserved it.
Naru paid and while he aimed, she tried to distract him or even tickle him but at the end he won the damn monkey and she had to wear it...
Madoka was grinning happily as she took pictures of them holding hands and their monkeys, "Luella and Martin will love this"Lin just nodded agreeing with small smile on his lips.
Mai was now eating a caramel apple and her lips glittered to Naru's despair.. he sighed and decided to ask what he meant to ask anyway.. "Mai Hirota and Lin managed to catch the bastards from earlier"
"Really?" She turned with a bright smile to him "what did they say?"
".. a guy named.. Emiliano hired them.. do you know who he might be?" He asked as he watched the instant fear on her face... Her half eaten apple fell to the ground and her body began to tremble.. he picked up the fallen apple and threw it on a nearby trash can after that he hugged her tightly...
"I will make sure to come and protect you no matter where.. can you trust me enough to tell me who he is?
She instantly relaxed with his embrace and words.. nodding her head she led him guide her to a nearby table and he bought drinks for both of them.. she quickly began before her fear returned
"At first he was.. my mother's secret admirer, he used to send her gifts and letters... After a while he began to follow her everywhere, obsessed with everything she did and once he knew that I was a small living replica of her, he began to question her about me.. she grew scared and put a restriction order on him.. all seemed to calmed down until that day... We were going to my dad's... Grave... And he appeared out of nowhere, angry at my mom, she tried to run from him... Afraid that he will do something to me... She hided me on a nearby friendly shop she knew and ran from the shop... He was hot on her heals... without... Looking... Mom.. crossed the street... And.."
Her eyes dropped tears every milli second on the table as she tried to tell her story... But after that he could pretty much guess that it was a car that killed her mother... Emiliano indeed held a responsibility in this... 'But what would he want with Mai? Unless...?'
He squeezed her hand telling her that it was good enough, and that she didn't need to finish...
"Do you have a picture of your mom with you?"
Mai nodded taking from her small bag a small picture, and handing it to him... His eyes widened Mai indeed resembled her mother, the only difference was her mother's green eyes and long hair a bit of age as well..
Naru knew now why Emiliano wanted to kidnap Mai... And he felt sick just thinking about it..'he plans to make Mai her mother's replacement"
