We do not own Ghost Hunt, just the plot!
The next morning around eight o'clock Mai woke up...mostly because she had to use the bathroom. She looked over at the other bed to find Naru still sleeping.
"Heat of the moment, huh?" She whispered with a mixture of bitterness and sadness in her voice as she stared at him. She tried to get up only to realize she was still hooked up to various different things. Why did she have these on anyways? She felt fine except with just a little fatigue so she decided to just take everything off of her. Who cares if the doctor and nurses didn't want her to? She didn't. She started by removing the stickers that connected her to the heart monitor, which immediately let out a loud alarm that not only woke Naru but caused doctors and nurses to come pouring into the room as they thought she was having heart problems.
"I'm fine, I'm fine! No problems whatsoever!" She said trying to fend off everyone.
The nurse from the night before looked at her and sighed. "Mr Shibuya, you are hooked up to a heart monitor for your own good, you can't just take it off."
"I feel perfectly fine! I don't need one!" She yelled but then she felt a little dizzy from it. She put her hand to her head.
"You were saying Mr Shibuya?" The nurse said cocking an eyebrow.
Mai glared at her after the dizziness faded. Naru stood up. "M-Naru just sit down."
"No, there was a reason I tried to get up and that reason is becoming more desperate by the minute." Mai informed. Mai's eyes shifted to everyone in the room, making a 'move out the way' face.
"Mr Shibuya, all you had to do was ask for a bottle." The nurse said testily.
"No thank you. I'd much rather use the bathroom." She replied with a hint of disgust in her voice.
"Well, it looks to me like you aren't going anywhere Young Man if you can't even stand without getting dizzy and almost falling over." The nurse argued. She looked over at Naru for help on this.
He just shrugged. "Whatever the medical professionals think is best I guess." He said. Mai's eye twitched. 'Oh he is so getting it later!' She thought, all embarrassment from last night gone. The nurse hurried away, followed by the other medical staff members, to go get the aforementioned bottle. Mai glared long and hard at Naru.
Naru noticed. "What? It's not that bad. I've had to pee in bottles whilst I was here too. Besides, the nurse is right, you can't even stand right now."
That just caused Mai to glare even more. "I can walk I-" Mai stopped for a moment to calm herself before she blew up. "It was just the yelling that caused my dizziness. I'm fine now. Besides I wouldn't have been yelling if you people just let me use the freaking bathroom!" She started practically yelling again in a low and angry tone.
"They just want you to take it easy for a little bit so there isn't too much stress on...my...your...the body." Naru said knowledgeably after struggling to figure out what to say.
"Oh, yeah, sure, like you take it easy when you're in this body Mr I-Probably-Threaten-The-Doctors-Until-They-Release -Me-So-I-Can-Go-Right-Back-To-Work?!"
Surprisingly Naru laughed at this. "You got me there, but please rest? I don't want to have to worry about you." He admitted. Mai's eyes widened as he said this and then remembered the Almost Kiss last night which caused her to start blushing again. She was going to make a comment about him not really caring for her but then she also remembered he said he probably cares for her more than anyone.
Her eyes saddened. "I wish I could believe that."
"What did you say?" Naru asked when he heard Mai mumble something.
"Ah...nothing..."
"No, it was something, now what was it?" He demanded.
"I was just mumbling to myself..."
"Nice try, spill it." Mai thanked the heavens that the nurse came back when she did. She couldn't tell Naru what she said, last time she said something like that Naru had a hurt look in his eyes and that's when he confessed that he did care for her...more than anyone...but she didn't know if she should believe it or not. The nurse handed the bottle to her and she stared at it blankly.
"It's not going bite Mr Shibuya!" Mai stared with alarm at the nurse.
"Just take it." Came Naru's annoyed voice. Mai hesitantly reached out. The nurse huffed and shoved in it her hand. Mai still just stared blankly at the bottle which was now in her hand.
"There! Now you use it and don't get up Young Man! You don't want to make your girlfriend worry again do you?!"
"I don't...but how...?" Mai stuttered whilst blushing a little.
The nurse looked at Mai incredulously. "Have you...have you never been in hospital before?" Mai wasn't sure what to say. Sure she'd been in hospital before, but never as a man!
"W-well yeah...I have b-before...but I've never used this!" She held the bottle at arm's length away.
"Well, you're just going to have to use it now." The nurse informed brusquely. Naru was starting to look fed up with the whole situation. Couldn't she just take it and not complain?
"It'll be bad if I just lay here all day! In fact when can I leave?" Mai said aggravated.
"That is up to a doctor to decide." The nurse informed.
"And I can't get up to go to the bathroom again, why?" Mai asked.
"Because..." The nurse had started to answer when Naru finally snapped.
"Use the damn bottle for crying out loud and stop damn well complaining!" He yelled. Both Mai and the nurse looked at him in shock. "I thought you said you were desperate to go." He added in a much calmer tone of voice.
Mai gritted her teeth. "Alright, alright. I'm going to leave you two alone to work this out." The nurse surrendered. "But Mr Shibuya." She nodded towards the bottle and left. Mai made to throw the bottle at the closed door when a hand gripped her wrist to stop her. She looked up to find an angry Naru who looked like he was still trying to keep his cool though.
"What?" She challenged.
"You know very well what." He replied.
Mai glared at him. "What?! She was the one who was pis-"
"Mai." He warned. "Just stop acting like spoiled brat and just do it. We're both going to have to do things neither of us likes while we're each other. So get used to it."
"But...I don't..." Mai started.
"It's fairly simple Mai. You insert..."
"This is going to get graphic isn't it?" She asked resignedly. Naru smirked. Mai looked away from him and started to blush. "Wh-whatever...I think I got it."
"Do you really Mai?" Naru asked silkily, enjoying every moment of Mai's discomfort about this subject.
"Yes! Just leave!" She flustered.
"Now why would I do that Mai?"
"B-because!"
"'Because' is not a reason." Naru pointed out.
"Yes it is! Just go!"
"But I want to know why."
"So I can use the bathroom..." She mumbles lowly.
"But you have to use the bottle." Naru informed.
"I will if it makes you people shut up!" She snapped. Naru smirked.
"Okay, I'll be right outside the..."
"Naru...never mind..." Mai said hurriedly as she pushed the covers off herself. "I can't wait." Naru raised an eyebrow, wondering what exactly she meant. He soon found out as she started scrabbling around for an opening in her pajama bottoms.
"Hurry up and get the stupid bottle!" She exclaimed. She finally managed to find an exit hole as Naru thrust the receptacle into her hand. She just about managed to get everything in position before her bladder let loose as she couldn't hold on any longer. Naru watched as Mai's face flooded in relief. He let an amused smirk cross his face. 'For someone who was complaining so much about using a bottle she sure seems grateful now!'
"I couldn't help it this time...but I'm not using it again!" Mai stated stubbornly after she'd finished using it.
"Why, you peed in it like a natural?" Naru smirked. Mai pulled a disgusted face.
"S-shut up!"
"I will not! Your body has been putting me through hell; it's nice to finally get some payback." He replied smugly. Mai scowled at him. She moodily flipped the covers back over herself and leaned back onto the bed. She looked around the room grumpily when her eyes landed on Naru's bed.
"Where did that come from?" She asked pointing at it.
"The nurse had it brought in late last night as I refused to leave." Naru said as he glanced in the same direction. Mai's eyes flickered to Naru. "What?" He asked. She still didn't know why he wouldn't go home. It'd be way better that staying in this boring death-hole of a hospital. "I stayed because I wanted to make sure nothing happened to you." He said as though he'd read her mind.
"Nothing was going to happen to me...the doctor said so."
"You don't know that, they don't know that! What if my powers hadn't kicked in properly yet? What then?" Naru insisted.
"Then...the heart monitor thingy would've gone off probably and the doctors and nurses would come in here to do whatever needed to be done!" Naru's look seemed adamant though that he had made the right decision by staying.
"Okay, fine but what exactly would you staying accomplish? I mean the heart monitor would've alerted them about me, it's not like you'd have to go get them..." She asked wanting to know exactly why he wanted to stay so bad and she still wanted to know about that 'heat of the moment'! They were talking then the next thing she knew he was saying some things and almost kissed her!
Naru looked away then went to his bed and sat down looking lost. "I don't know, I just felt like it was the right thing to do." He admitted. Mai stared at the wall across from her. Ever since she came to this hospital everything's been so confusing. She didn't know what to think of her and Naru. She sighed and flopped back into her pillows.
"Can you just please go threaten the doctors or whatever you do to get out early?" She pleaded.
He looked like he was thinking about it for a moment. "Okay, but only if you promise to rest lots and let me look after you when we get back."
Mai slightly glared but realized he wouldn't do it any other way until she agreed. She nodded. "Fine."
"Alright then, I'll go see what I can do." He said as he headed for the door. He paused with his hand on the handle and turned his head to Mai. "You better keep your word." He said before leaving.
"Argh, how infuriating." She complained. She knew he was right though, she maybe should take it easy, she just didn't want to do it in a hospital, with bottles. But when they get back to Naru's apartment it's not like she'll have a comfortable bed to be in. She sighed again. This was some kind of tricky problem she'd gotten herself involved in. She should've thought this out more...
