Me: This is probably going to be my favorite chapter.

Naru: Why?

Me: Because it's about sailing, and I'm a huge sailor! Also I'm adding in the melon game!

Mai: Nice.

Gene: How bout you take me out on a sail next time.

Naru: Gene, stop trying to flirt with Silver.

Gene: Fine.

Mai: Silver doesn't own Ghost Hunt, just the plot of the story and her own characters.

Me: Please Review!

Mai's POV:

"Goal!" cried Aunty as I threw the slippery watermelon into the noodle ring. In all honesty, I have no clue what this game is even called. All that I do know is that from the first day that I ever played it I've loved it, and it's a really simple game too.

First you're split up into two teams and everyone on that team has to be toughing the noodle-hoop. Then you have one person be the ref and place a greasy watermelon into the water and blow the whistle. The main point of the game is to get the watermelon into the noodle-hoop, but it's kind of hard to do. Especially since you have people tackling you from all directions trying to get it, and the fact that's slippery doesn't really help much either. It ended up being girls verses the boys, and so far the girls were creaming the guys. Even if Madoka and Ayako were sitting out.

"No fair, you're only winning because we're taking it easy on you." Monk said trying to repair his damaged ego.

"Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night." Mom scoffed. Did I forget to mention this is the only game that brings out the wild side of Mom? If I didn't, well now ya know. "Maybe if you guys grow a pair and actually took us seriously, then you might actually have an advantage, but no, you're just scared little pusses." Yeah, defiantly her wild side.

"That's it, you Bitches are going down!" Oh yeah, this game also has the same affect on Dad as it does on Mom.

"Hell yeah! Now that's the crazy Sakura and Dark that I know and love!" exclaimed Lucy as she fist pumped the air.

"Okay everyone back to your sides!" Madoka chirped, obviously enjoying seeing Mom loose her cool, calm, and collected look for a more fiery, hell bent one.

"Ready, set, tweet!" Ayako blew the whistle and we all went head to head. Mom dived for the watermelon and reached it before Dark and passed it to me as said person tackled her, thus beginning their main fight for dominance. I quickly began trudging through the water towards the guy's goal as the rest of the girls defended me. I had no problems with the slippery water melon since Mom had taught me how to hold onto it without having to worry about having it slip out from under me. So far there was no need to worry since our defenses were so strong; at least that's what I thought.

"Mai! Look OUT!" cried Lucy. I quickly turned around trying to see what she was talking about, and didn't see anything until it was too late. I felt myself being tackled under the water. I opened up my eyes and saw that it was Naru who had knocked me off my feet. Being too stunned to actually register anything, I didn't react until I felt his arms go between the little gap that was between my chest and the watermelon.

Once feeling his hand graze by my breasts I turned a violent red and began thrashing about trying to get him to let go of the melon. He seemed to have been very determined, since he held on through it all and refused to let go or loosen up in the slightest. Finally I went into drastic measures and pushed myself forwards towards him and knocked him down onto his back shocking him and twisted get him to not only loose his grip, but also let me go.

I broke to the surface of the water and ruche dove to the goal. I was only a yard away when I felt someone grab my ankle and pull me back. I fell back into the water, and felt Naru grab the back of my bikini top trying to pull me back. Deciding that I was going to have none of that I twisted and turned until somehow I had gotten free and I had then plunged the watermelon into the noodle-hoop.

"GOAL!" Mom cried as she rushed over to me and gave me a hug. However her hug was short lived as she quickly pulled away and held me by my shoulders at arms distance. However, before I could ask her what she was doing, she pressed my chest up against hers and pulled me down into the water until it reached my shoulders. "Who did it?" Mom raged causing me to slightly jump in surprise. Everyone looked at her with a confused look causing her anger to spike. "I said WHO DID IT?"

"Who did what?" Dark asked slowly approaching her.

"Who did what." She scoffed. "Who did what indeed. Who was the one who took Mai's bikini top off?" When she said that, I looked down and saw that my top really was missing. I felt my face heat up and I quickly covered myself using my arms. 'Gods this is so embarrassing!'

"Sorry, but it came off when I grabbed her. I didn't mean for it to come off." Naru said, holding up my pink top with a slight blush dusting his cheeks.

"Sure you didn't." Mom said mockingly as she got up, after she made sure that I was covered, and snatched it from his grasp. She then brought it back over to me and pushed me under the water for about five seconds and then pulled me all the way up so that I was standing in the waist high water.

"I think that, that's enough of that game. How about we have lunch now?" Dad said grabbing Mom by the waist and leading her out of the water. I looked down and saw that my top was back on and that it was as if it was never taken off in the first place. 'Ah, the wonders of Mom.'

"I think that, that's a wonderful idea." She said finally calming down to the Mom that we see on a normal daily bases. When they were just about to step out of the ankle deep water and step onto the dry sand Mom stopped in her tracks and turned her head back to look at him with a smirk. "Oh, and Noll. Please try and keep it in your pants. Mai has already lost her top because of you, and I would hate to think of what might happen if she loses her bottoms and you're the cause." With no more said she took Dad's hand and led him, stunned, towards the cooler and began unpacking the lunch she made this morning. Everyone turned and faced him with a blank stare and stood like that for about a minute or so before we all broke down laughing our asses off.

*After they ate Lunch with Mai and Naru on a Hobbiecat*

"Mai, you believe me when I say that I didn't mean to do that, right?" Naru asked hopefully as he looked out into the lake, obviously affected by what everyone's been putting him through at lunch.

"Yeah I know, you're not the type of guy to do that. Normally you just ignore what they're all saying, so why is it affecting you now?" I asked truly curious as to the reason that Naru would actually care about what he did, since I knew for a fact that he didn't give a rat's ass about their opinions before.

"Because unlike before, I haven't been accused of sexual harassment." he depaned looking back at me and giving me a 'duh' look, well as much of a 'duh' look as you can get from someone like him.

"I see, well how about you stop feeling sorry for your hurt reputation and actually stair this thing?" I said not waiting for an answer as I passed him the tiller to the boat.

"Mai, it's been years since I've sailed. In all honesty we'll end up crashing if I stear." He sighed passing it back to me as he went back to just spacing out. 'Man what is with him today? That's it, if he wants to act like a little pup, then I'll just bruise his ego until he's back to normal!'

"I see, so the 'perfect at everything' Naru can't sail."

"No one is perfect Mai, I'm just impossibly close to it." He retorted with his usual high-and-mighty tone.

"Doesn't seem like it to me." I said in a sing song way making him whip his head back to face me with one of his cold glares painted on his perfect face.

"Well unlike you, I can use my brain and see just how close to perfect I am." He snipped causing me to laugh inwardly at how easily he had fallen into my trap. 'And he says that I have no brain, hah!'

"Well you can't be perfect if you can't even sail!"I yelled trying to pass off the effect that he made me mad, when really I'm ecstatic that he took the bait. All of those acting classes actually paid off.

"Then teach me."

"Huh?" I asked innocently, making it so that it wasn't too innocent that he would suspect something, but also at the same time not to sharp so that he would start a fight with me.

"Are you hearing impaired? I said then teach me. I'll prove to you just how perfect I am." 'Bingo.' At this I smiled brightly letting my fake bad mood evaporate now that I had finally won another fight with him.

"Alright, first get your butt over here and take the tiller." I instructed giving him an air of superiority that I had only felt one other time, when I told everyone how he bent the spoon. He didn't argue or fight back, instead he sat right next to me and took hold of the tiller.

"You're holding it wrong; you're holding it too close to where the tiller and the rudder connect. You're supposed to hold it so that your elbow is resting on it." I corrected moving his arm for him and placing it in the right position.

"How do you stair it?" Naru asked blankly. I looked up and saw that a light blush was dusted across his face, that I surly would have missed had I not know him for as long as I did.

"Well, you turn left by pushing it right," I demonstrated by covering his hand with mine and pushing it as far away from us as I could without knocking into Naru, making the boat turn to the left. "and you make it turn right by pushing it left." Once again I demonstrated, only this time pulling it towards us. "Does that make sense?"

"Yes, thank you Mai." He said staring out into the lake while playing with the tiller, trying to get used to the feel of it. We were enveloped into a comfortable silence until, surprisingly, Naru broke it. "Mai, you love Gene, so why did you kiss me?" Taken aback by what he said I jumped slightly and almost fell overboard but luckily caught my balance and didn't.

"Well, I kissed you because I love you." I confessed making me blush harder than I did when I did it for the first time.

"No, you told me that you picked the twin with the better personality." He depaned with the slightest hint of hurt in his tone.

"I lied." I simply said shrugging my shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal, only to have Naru jerk the boat right causing me to fall into his lap.

"What?"

"Any you say that I have a hearing problem, I said that I lied." I scoffed rolling my eyes at him as I tried to move off his lap without it being too awkward, although after a while I just gave up and decided to just enjoy using him as a pillow.

"Why?" he whispered looking down at me while I looked up at him and into his blue eyes that I truly loved so much.

"Because I didn't want to hold you back. I figured that Once you left for England you wouldn't have had any intentions on coming back to Japan, so I decided that it would be easier for you if you thought that I loved Gene, 'the better choice' according to you, instead of you. Of course that plan backfired when you came back to Japan. In all honesty when I got that call from you asking me to work for you again I was so mad since I had messed up any way of ever having a chance to confess to you again and have you end up feeling the same way." I explained looking everywhere except him. I felt the wind pick up and soon the boat went faster and was on one banana, but that didn't distract Naru since I still felt his gaze on me.

"Why didn't you tell me this when I got back to Japan?" he questioned as he steered the boat to the left making a U-turn.

"Because I didn't want you to feel like a substitute for your brother. I figured that no matter what I would say it would just make you think that I was using you when I really loved you and I just thought that it would just be better to leave it be and have you think I still liked Gene." I reasoned knowing that the whole reason that he even brought up Gene in this conversation in the first place was because he felt as if he were being used as a substitute.

"What about the arranged marriage?" He asked surprising me with the urgency that I found in his voice.

"Well, since I knew that I wouldn't be able to willingly move on from loving you, I decided to agree and give into Mom and Aunty's decision for me to get married to him."

"So does that mean that it's set in stone?"

"Maybe, I don't really know." I sighed knowing that either way, Naru and I were going to end up together. The only thing really left remaining is for him to realize that Aoi and I are one and the same, and that I need to become the Alpha.

"Tell me more about him, is it that Lovino guy?" he said, saying Lovi's name as if it left a bad taste in his mouth. 'Wait a minute, is Naru jealous?' I pondered wondering why he would say Lovi's name in such distaste.

"No it's not Lovi, he's Antonio's boyfriend." I explained and had to hold back my laughter as the registration on Naru's face showed that his mind clicked, instantly making him paler than he already was.

"They're gay?" he shakily asked as he gripped onto the tiller making his knuckles white.

"Yep, actually a lot of the guys that you met today were gay, but you don't need to worry since they're all dating someone." I reassured seeing even more of his coloring drain out of him. 'Gods if he gets any paler, I'm going to start thinking that he's actually a ghost!'

"Who's with whom?" he asked a little more in control of his actions as a bit of color came back into his checks.

"Um, well Lovi's with Tony, Gil's with Mattie, Ludwig's with Feli, Toris's with Feliks, Ivan's with Yao, Iggy's with Al, Lizzy's with Roderick, Yekaterina's with Eduard, Kiku's with Hercules, Yoru's with Mary, Lucy's with Rin, Aunty's with Light, Mom's with Dad, Nula's with Hikage, Anji's with Akarui, Sophie's with Kibo, while Francis, and Natalia are single." I explained as I listed off the couples and the only two who were single.

"Does that mean that Francis is your fiancé?" he asked, obviously not pleased that I would be engaged to such a man as Francis.

"Hell no! Mom would never allow me to marry such a pervert as him!" I replied, slightly horror struck at even just the idea of being married to him, let alone dating him. I mean sure he's an awesome guy friend, but I could not deal with him as a lover.

"Then who is it?"

"You really are hopeless with this aren't you?"

"Well I wouldn't be this hopeless if you just told me who it is." He pushed, really trying hard to figure out who I was talking about. I can only imagine exactly what his face will be when I tell him that it's him.

"Nope, I refuse. Not until after my birthday." I crossed my arms finally fed up with all of his annoyance at trying to get me to just spell it out to him who it is. In fact I don't think that he'd be able to figure it out if I spotted him the 'N', 'R', and 'U'.

"You're too stubborn. He stated, pouting just slightly making me smile at how much he's been showing his emotions to me lately.

"And you're too hopeless, so I'm going to give up on giving you obvious hint for finding out who he is."

"Fine." He snapped in a very un-Naru like way, reminding me of how he was when he was eight and was arguing with me trying to find out what my real name was.

"Fine." I responded back turning my head from his head to the bow of the boat as I closed my eyes and just left everything to Naru. It was about fifteen minutes later and I was just about to fall asleep to the wave's lullaby and Naru's warmth when I felt his shift underneath me.

"Mai, I know that you like me and not Gene, but I'm still on the fence about who to choose. I'm sorry, but I won't know who I like and who I love until after I meet Aoi again and see what type of woman she's become." He said slowly, as if each word was carefully planned and thought out, which knowing Naru, was most likely the case.

"No problem, I would expect for you to do as much. Either way, no hard feelings." I laughed slightly at the irony that this whole situation has created. Naru may need a psychologist by the end of this after all of the secrets are revealed to him and the gang.

"Thank you Mai, it means a lot." I felt the sincerity in his Thank you and found it very hard not to smile back up at him.

"Oi! Mai, Naru! It's getting dark, so head back to shore!" Mom called creating the perfect distraction from the awkward atmosphere that we had created.

"Okay we're heading back!" "Do you want to lead us in or do you want me to?" I asked, not really wanting to get up off of my comfy Naru-lap-pillow, but also not wanting to burden Naru with doing something he didn't want to do.

"If you don't mind, I would like to prove my perfection and lead us in, Sensei." I simply shrugged in reply and smiled happily at the fact that the all knowing Naru had called me 'Sensei'.

"Whatever you say Naru, whatever you say."

Me: Man that was long!

Naru: WHY DID YOU HAVE ME DO THAT TYPE OF THING TO MAI!

Me: Because I wanted to.

Naru: Still!

Mai: It was funny though I have to admit.

Me: You want to hear something even funnier?

Gene: Sure.

Me: Well the English voice actor for N. Italy in Hetalia, Natsu in Fairy Tale, and Naru are the same!

Mai: NO WAY!

Me: Yep!

Naru: Please review and let this torment end.
