Chapter One: Unexpected Storm
Mai POV
"Ah, this is so great, the air feels so crisp," I yelled, stretching my arms above my head feeling the ocean breeze brush against my skin, feeling my hair moving swiftly due to the strong winds while watching the soft waves splashing against the bottom of the ship walls.
"We are here for a case, not for a vacation," I heard a crisp cold voice on my right. I sigh, rubbing my temples.
"You sure know how to spoil the mood don't ya. Can't I just pretend? Ever since you've returned, we haven't had a break. So please, do me a favor and let me feel as though I am on a vacation, even for five seconds." I scolded, placing my hand on the railing of the ship, tighten my hand.
"While it doesn't affect our case," he just simply replies to me calmly. I stare at Naru, feeling my heart beating hard.
'It's been six months since he returned and yet... It feels like nothing has changed. None stop cases and my school, nothing more. We haven't even spoken about what happened last year.
Now that I'm nineteen I feel, well I'm not sure I can say that he has changed though. He's taller, his hair slightly longer, but not as long to reach his ears, but soft. His eyes are deeper than ever, and his baby fat is almost gone, but not just yet.
Shaking slightly from my thoughts I felt a shadow overshadowing me.
I snapped my eyes open to raise them, to see Naru bend an inch, with his cold icy blue eyes scanning me.
My cheeks redden at the sudden closeness, as my heart skips a beat.
"Err, Naru?" I trembled a little, he leans a little closer, still, his eyes don't move from my own eyes. Then he stretched out his hand, slowly he moves it up to reach my hair. My heart now beating over time, as I can practically feel his breath against my skin, causing me to shiver.
'Is he going?' I thought, biting my lower lip, a yearning hits me, to have him kiss me. What would that feel like? I haven't kissed anyone before; either I'm stupid or my feelings didn't fade. I want to kiss him. Closing my eyes, nervously waiting, I heard him clear his throat, not noticing him looking a bit flushed.
"Poop," he whispers. I snapped my eyes open, to realize that he was looking at his hand, seeing some white goo.
"Huh?"
"Bird poop," he whispers, making my eyes widen.
"What?" I asked, not understanding the situation. Naru glance back at me and arched a brow not sure he was amused or annoyed by this.
"A bird pooped in your hair. Didn't you feel it?" He asks absent-mindedly, as though he wasn't even grossed out. Now my eyes widen triple-fold my heart jump but not in a good way.
"Oh no!" I squealed in embarrassment, touching my upper head, to feel the goo.
"On no, this is embarrassing," turning around, I headed downstairs, near the upper deck, avoiding Lin since he was coming up the stairs.
"Mai?" he asks confused while following me with his gaze, I mumbled under my breath, "Poop, I have poop," watching me open the door of the lower deck in a frantic matter. Lin arched a brow confused as he turns his head to look at Naru. Naru simply smirked, shrugging at the puzzled Lin.
Slamming the brown door behind me I turned towards my left, and went up to the bathroom, slamming once again the door, turning on the faucet, and glance at the mirror, to see a goo in my hair.
I groaned while watching my face turning redder and redder by the second from embarrassment.
I can't believe this is happening. Stupid bird. I thought he was going to kiss me, not this. What's wrong with me? He doesn't even like me.
"This is not happening, I'm so stupid." I groaned in disapointment, shaking my head.
I can't face him now.
I turned around to face the shower, to turn it on, a sudden chill ran down my spine while feeling chill ran down my spine, while I heard a thump somewhere in the ship, ignoring it, I turned on the knob of the shower letting the water run, to get it warm, something pierced into my heart, causing me to rub my chest.
"Why is this case, making me uncomfortable?"
Naru POV
"What happened to Mai? I didn't catch what she meant." Lin questions me while he came up the stairs, rubbing the back of his neck.
I lifted my hand, to show him.
"A bird confused Mai hair for a toilet. She got embarrassed, rather amusing," I told him, smiling softly.
Lin stares at me for a brief second.
"You seem more at ease since you came back from England, especially when you are near Mai," he whispers the last part, but I just ignored it.
Does it seem like that?
"Either way, the others will come later on, since this case was last minute, Miss. Matsuzaki just called me, that their ship is running a bit late," he announced.
I look at the goo in my hands and lift my gaze at him.
"We will just inspect the place and set up the equipment, tonight we start an investigation and see how that goes. Since the only thing I know about this case is that the villagers want this ghost out of the village. In Iwo Jima Island."
I simply told him. Lin nods at me while watching me head towards the stairs so I can wash my hands. Lin clears his throat a bit catching my attention, I lift my head, to look back at him.
"Don't you think is strange that you get this call at the last minute, and you accept it? Why is the real reason? It just a simple haunting. You just don't accept simple hauntings." He crosses his arms, staring down at me.
"No reason at all, just the mystery behind it. You know how much I love mysteries." I bluntly told him to go down the stairs. Now leaving a very confused Lin behind me.
"It just a simple haunting, no mystery at all." He murmurs shaking his head.
Upon reaching the last step, a sudden chill ran down my spine. Not liking it at all.
"What was that?" I mumbled to myself, shaking it off, I reach out for the doorknob and opened the door. I heard a thump inside the room, my heart jumps in fright, not like the feeling at all.
Mai is in there, did she get hurt? Or is it supernatural?
Without thinking it twice, I prop the door open and entered the small room with one bed on the side, in covers red, I took notice of two white gloves on top of the bed. Going up to it, I took it. Eyeing it, it seems old fashion, with a rip on the thumb part.
At least nothing out normal looks out of place. I breathed out in relief and rushed my steps towards the bed.
"Does this belong to Mai?" asking myself, I heard the door behind me open.
"Naru, what are you doing here?" Mai asks. Turning around, I lifted my hand, only to see Mai towel drying her hair with a soft white towel.
"Getting rid of the evidence of your hair." She looks up at me, while pushing the towel down and pierced her chocolate eyes at me and tsk at me, but I can see her cheeks turning to a lovely red once again.
I suppress a smirked that threaten to come out.
"Don't remind me." she shook her head, but covers her face with the towel, not daring to look at me.
I don't know why after all these years, I still enjoy that face she makes when she gets embarrassed.
"Oh, did you left these gloves on top of the bed? I don't remember you packing it?" Since I have been sure of what to bring for this case and knowing Mai by now, she doesn't wear these types of gloves.
Mai reaches up and avoids me, still embarrassed, I continue to enjoy her sudden shyness a little too much. She's embarrassed.
"No, they weren't there a few minutes ago and surely they are not mine." Mai reached out to touch the gloves, making Mai jump back as though she was shocked.
"Mai?" I tilted my head a bit feeling worried by her reaction, she looks at me, her eyes suddenly water up with unshed tears, as though a great pain pierced into her heart. I knew that look, which I hated because she's in pain.
"What did you saw?" I asked, but she shook her head, as she presses her hand on her chest and rubbed it.
"Nothing, but. I felt a longing, a deep longing, and sadness," she said, I lift my hand, and pushed the white towel away from her face, to see a tear finally drop. My heart clenched by this.
Before I could say anything a sudden violent movement from the ship cause Mai and me to stumble, she fell backward and I forward, making me fall on top of her, making the mattress bounce.
Now hovering on top of her, my arms at each side of her, holding myself up, as my leg is between her parted legs, as my knee sank into the mattress. Yet that didn't stop my heart from beating hard against my chest. I look down at her to see her look at me with wide eyes, as her wet hair plaster down, her face fluster, but she looks soft and tempting.
I suddenly swallowed heavily.
She's small and looks so soft. I didn't even notice I was getting lost in her eyes.
Her hair is slightly longer, past her ears, but not as much, lighter brown, a little chubby on her cheeks, skinny as always, with creamy skin color, she looks more... I have no words to place it yet.
Her eyes seem to haunt me a lot lately. She's been haunting me since I left for England. I hate that, I hated that I couldn't stop thinking of her while I was away. I thought I could just forget her, after all, she doesn't like me, but my brother. She just confusing her feelings. I'm not a replacement for my older brother.
"N...Naru?" Mai's voice became timid breaking me out of my inner thoughts.
"Are you okay?" I asked, trying to act cool. She nodded rapidly, while her face heating up so much that I think she was about to steam out from her ears.
"Yes, can you move please?" her voice trembled a little. Then I heard the door slam open.
"Guys, an unexpected storm just emerge." Lin storms into the room but stop and arched a brow, from the simple fact he caught us in what looks like an intimate position. I was just staring at Mai as she did the same.
"Err, yeah there's a storm, sorry for the interruption, but the storm is more important at this moment," he whispered, clearing his throat, turning around. I groaned, moving away from Mai as she squeals at Lin's words.
"Is not what it looks like, and... Wait, did you just said storm?"
Lin nods at us, as I stood up, without thinking of it too much, I helped Mai stand up, by placing my hand on her back gently and lift her.
"The news said it was supposed to be a sunny day, no storms," Mai added, looking at me and gave me a thank you glance. I cleared my throat.
"It came from nowhere, you know how it goes, mother nature has a mind of her own, we need to stay down here, the captain suggested.." Lin explains, turning to face us after he closed the door behind him. I took in a big breath, feeling a headache already forming.
Let see if it's a real normal storm, I feel something off. Since the same strange feeling from earlier came back to me sending chills down my spine.
Without a word, I move my feet heading up for the door, and opened it passing Lin.
I heard Lin and Mai groan at the same time.
"He is stubborn, no hope for him. Yes, Naru go straight to the deadly storm, good idea is not going to kill us at all. You're a genius." I heard Mai argue with a heavy sarcasm in frustration, following me, I just ignored it.
Reaching the main deck, turning around, I lifted my gaze to see the once blue sky dark filled with dark clouds, with the winds trashing hard. I had to hold onto the pole on my right, so I won't tumble onto the floor.
"Oh my!" I heard Mai gasp out in horror as soon she reaches my side. Lin takes a hold of her shoulder, to steady her.
"Go back in, it's dangerous," I order, but Mai lifted her gaze at me, her hair covering her face due to the strong winds, she tries to brush it off.
"Oh like you hear your advice, I think we should help the captain, I mean this is just not right. Something is not right here," she whispers, noticing fear cross her brown eyes.
She can feel it too?
I pushed myself against the wind to head for the captain's deck, only to have the ship once again go forcefully against something, making me fall into the ground.
"This is not my day apparently," I whispered, rubbing my now aching knee. Then I heard Mai yell.
"No Mai duck!" Lin screams.
I lifted my gaze, only to see one of the flag poles snapping out of place, swinging in her direction. Which is not possible.
I stood immediately, running towards her, but it was too late, the pole cause Mai to slam against her stomach, picking her up and lift Mai, straight out of the ship.
"Ahh, Naru!" I heard her scream my name in pure horror. Rushing my steps, I reach the edge, and look down, to see Mai holding onto the edge of the railing for her life. Lin reaches me, as I took a hold of her hand. With tears now running down her cheeks, she glances up, taking a hold of my hand.
"Hold on," I told her.
"Where do you think I'll go to? Please just pull me up. I don't want to die. Please." she begs, her voice is in fear.
"Do you trust me?" I asked her, looking down at her eyes. Mai stares at me, nodding.
"You may be a jerk, and sometimes do things, you shouldn't but yes. Why does..." but she stops talking when her eyes widen.
"Err, something is holding on my foot. Ahh!" she screams in fear. I felt her being tugged, as my own body is pulled down as well. I pulled back, holding tighter to the rail, as I lift my gaze, and I swear for a moment, I saw a small boat in a distance, I couldn't make out who it was, but I can see four people in it. I didn't have time to question it.
"Lin, I think there's a spirit down there, use your Shiki" I order him.
Lin nods, without questions and I felt his Shiki's surround us, but no use, the more he uses, the more Mai is being tugged. I took a hold of the railing, while I felt Lin take a hold of my shoulders, pulling as hard as he could, but no use, since I'm losing her grip.
Then it starts to rain hard, heavy drops, making the hold on Mai impossible.
"No!" I hissed, trying to hold my hold on her. Then one more harsh tug, our hands disconnect.
"NARU!" she screams, watching in horror as she falls rapidly into the vast waters, without hesitation, I turned around looking around, I spotted an orange floating device. Running as fast I could, I took it and went back, gripping on the edge of the railing ready to jump, but Lin takes a hold of my shoulder.
"You can't, if.." but I gave him a warning look causing him to close his mouth before he could speak once again.
"She's my assistant and my responsibility," and before he could argue, without thinking, I jumped in, hitting the salty cold waters, using the floater. Taking in a big breath, I dived in, opening my eyes,
I searched around to see if I can spot Mai.
Then I did, not far from me, I notice a white light surrounding her, as though it's protecting her for some sort of reason. Swimming as fast as I could, I reached her in no time and took her by her waist.
Then I swam her up, so I can get a breath of air in my lungs since it started to ache. Finally reaching the surface feeling drained already, I took the floating device which happened to float by close, and I wrap my arm around it.
Looking up, I started to search around, then it hits me.
"What the heck?" I look around, really look around to take notice that the once dark sky was no longer, but a blue light sky with a few clouds around. The sun bright as ever.. And the worst part of it all.
"Well. We're screwed, what the hell happened to the Ship?" I cursed under my breath as I watch the now calm waves hitting the surface of the huge rocks. And no Ship around to save us.
"I just hope Gene is right to get this case or not. I will murder him when I see him again."
This is the same story but will be a better version and I will switch a lot of things around, to make it as fresh as possible. I hope you all like it. :) I forgot how this story goes. I hope the grammar is better and the story will be more romantic and more bickering. Lol, I will change a lot so I hope you all are looking for it, but the story will be the same in a way.
