Kuro was shocked that Mai even remembered about that she really wished she would off forgot but she couldn't do anything about that, Kuro gave a sigh " yes... I remember"

Mai, I had a big grin on her face " you still haven't shown me your drawings" Kuro exhaled a breath knowing this was coming " Yea I know" Mai pouts just a little making Kuro feel a little guilty about it.

"Well," Mai said waiting for Kuro to say something but Kuro decided to no really say anything at all you could say she was avoiding it, Kuro responded, "well what?" this caused Mai to frown.

"well, when are you going to show me your drawings?" Mai yelled at Kuro making her shake her head at Mai's behaviour " Kuro-san you promised?!" sighing at this Kuro gave in with little spirit " fine... I don't know why you want to see them so much... but okay ill show you tomorrow okay?"

Mai eyes lit up showing how happy she was to hear that from Kuro " oh my god, I can not wait..." Kurt rolled her beautiful mismatched eyes at Mai thinking that she was extremely childish.

Kuro should have known that she would never give up trying to get her to show her drawing off she was embarrassed about them well... shy more like its one of the things she dislikes showing off.

Kuro won't deny she likes showing off her vast intellect but not her crappy artwork it was also quite personal to her but it was indeed her fault, for even promising her to show it not that she doesn't trust Mai quite the contrary she just didn't want to embarrass her self in front of her.

"Mai-chan we better go visit Kazuya-kun otherwise he will get moody again..." Mai chuckled at this and gave her a small nod.

~timeskip

Kuro and Mai walk over to the old school building only to find Naru was standing by his van looking a checkboard, Kuro took a breath and says "Hello Kazuya-kun you still looking over stuff?" Naru looks up.

when he looks up despite already seeing her in the morning he notices what she is wearing, he was surprised " what the hell are you wearing?" Naru states causing Kuro to chuckle

Mai then looks at Kuro clothing in surprises and says " ravensu clawsue" she reads this from her poncho or tries to causing Kuro to sweat drop "Its Raven Claw Mai -Chan" Kuro corrected her pronunciation

"to answer you question Kazuya-kun it's clothing..." Kuro snarkily says to Naru causing him to glare at her snickering at this Mai says " whats... Ravensuclawse" Kuro groans at the pronunciation again " Mai-chan its Ravenclaw and it's from an English movie called Harry Potter it's basically a house club type thingy...

There are 4 houses and these are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin" Mai sweat drops at Kuro as she began to fangirl about Harry Potter Naru clearly got annoyed by this says " we don't have time for this"

Kuro pouts at Naru but he ignores it Mai giggles at Kuro's obsessiveness but instead of saying anything to Kuro she asks " Hey Shibuya-san what are you doing" Kuro stops her muttering about Harry Potter.

"Reexamining the data we accumulated yesterday," Naru replied calmly, causing Mai to sweatdrop, Naru sighs when he finished what he was doing, even though Kuro helped sorting through the data it still took forever to go through.

Kuro groans remembering all the footage she had to sort through it was incredibly painful almost like torture hell she would even compare it to Lingchi a Chinese form of torture...

honestly, she never went through it of course because well she would be dead as it was both torture and an execution method but man its almost as painful looking as Lingchi.

Mai looks at Kuro noticing a shift in her demeanour and saw her with a face that is filled with pain Mai decides to ask later why she was in pain " so did you find anything? Shibuya-san"

Mai asked curiously but instead of Naru replying Kuro did instead.

"no from what I have seen I saw nothing and dam, it was so boring Mai-Chan, not one interesting thing happened... it was so painful Mai..."Kuro commenced to fake cry causing Mai to look at her weirdly.

Naru sighs loudly at Kuro's performance and ignores her "There was nothing unusual. Either there are no ghosts, or they are hiding for now… So there doesn't appear to be any danger at present." Naru elaborated, for Mai's sake clearly spoon feeding her because of her lack of... Intelligence.

"Well, that's some fancy equipment you've got there!" A woman expressed loudly from behind, prompting the three teens to turn and look to see who was approaching them now. "Those toys seem too high-class for a child to be playing with." The woman added, smirking.

Kuro stands up straight her back pops clearly the cracking of her bones causing Mai to wince at the sound, Kuro takes a closer look and sees a woman with red hair standing up with a smug smirk.

she was dressed too well to be your mediocre teacher or office lady clearly she is trying to show a sort of professionalism but Kuro didn't see that at all, she seemed quite old by the ever-growing wrinkles she could see.

she wasn't alone following beside her was a tall, attractive man, he was wearing casual clothing something that seemed to fit the man, Kuro noted that he had bleached hair that was pulled back into a ponytail.

Kuro raised her eyebrow wondering what old people are doing here they clearly aren't teachers one was too well dressed and the other was wearing casual clothing which ordinary teachers don't wear so what were they doing here.

Naru looked at both the man and women with an unfazed look clearly not caring about their presence "And you are?" despite inquiring who they are he looked like he could careless causing Kuro to snigger.

The women who were too well dressed replied in a smooth way " I'm Matsuzaki Ayako. Nice to meet you." when she responded she gave Naru a smile that can be considered attractive but Naru still had a blank face.

Naru not caring that he would sound rude declares "I'm not interested in your name." it was blunt and straightforward causing Ayako to blush in humiliation but Naru blunt statement cause both Mai and Kuro to suppress their laughter and they weren't the only ones that were trying not to laugh.

The guy beside her was holding in his too Ayako was clearly not pleased by his statement says"You're pretty sassy, aren't you, little boy? But handsome." Ayako acknowledged unenthusiastically

Kuro sighs knowing this was going to make Naru's already high ego to go up and she really didn't want it to go up even more than it already is Naru stated "Thanks" dryly, undaunted by her left-handed endorsement.

"But you can't exorcise spirits with your face, you know." She appended cynically this statement let alone causes Kuro to burst out in laughter as imagined Naru doing the exact thing Ayako just said.

Kuro coughs stopping her train of thought and asks in certainty " I am assuming you're in the same business as Kazuya-kun then by your wording though kudos to that remark cause it was pretty funny"

Naru looks at Kuro and glares at her for her comment but then looks at both individuals that stood in front of them in a serious demeanour wondering the exact same thing Kuro proposed.

Kuro noticed this and took a glance at Naru's handsome face wondering what he was thinking, however, she wondered why the principal didn't tell her or at least Naru about this setup.

"You could say that," Ayako replied smugly, clearly pleased at Kuro's reaction to her remark although Kuro was surprised that she indeed part of the business Ayako then adds "I am a Miko."

This surprised everyone including Naru Kuro was looking at her in disbelief she clearly didn't look like one... Kuro says " your a shrine maiden... people who do sacred cleanses on spirits and performs for gods?" Kuro inquiring this as she didn't really believe that she was one, she had to make sure.

Ayako looks at Kuro in a surprised expression " yes I am a Miko, you seem to know your stuff little girl..." the last part of the sentence makes Kuro growl disliking being called a little girl she was not a child.

Kuro was still in disbelief since when do Miko's dress that way and wear heavy make up... Naru was on the same page "I thought you had to be a pure and innocent young lady in order to become a Miko." Naru asserted dryly, also deadpanning

Kuro bursts into loud laughter holding herself onto Naru's van trying to stop from laughing however it became worse, Mai starts giggling and trying to help Kuro up but both of them were laughing

Naru seemed to look at Kuro when she was laughing and began to smirk because he was the cause of such a reaction from her.

"Oh…? Is that not how I look to you?" Ayako demanded indignantly, blushing, as multiple veins throbbed on her forehead, Kuro still laughing knowing that Naru was going to say something back...

"For starters, I'd say you look a bit too old to be 'innocent'." Naru retorted. "And you wear too much makeup to be 'pure'." The man beside the self-proclaimed Miko finally burst into laughter out loud there were faint snorts coming through too.

he obviously tried to suppress his laughter but got a bit too much but on the other hand, Kuro couldn't stop laughing it was too much to handle she felt like she was dying from the depletion of oxygen because she was laughing too much.

Ayako face became beet red almost like a strawberry clearly feeling humiliated by someone who was younger than her, while Ayako face went to this Kuro was having a hard time breathing.

" take deep breaths Kuro-san..." Mai says this while suppressing as much as she can but Kuro was in the middle of laughing her tummy hurt so much from laughing too hard and she couldn't breathe.

Mai noticed Kuro face was red from the lack of oxygen Kuro responded in stutters " I can't... stop" Mai sees Kuro having trouble holding herself up so she decided to try to help, Naru was watching Kuro intently as she laughed he had a smug smirk on his face.

"And you?" Naru said, alternating his attention to the laughing man beside Ayako "You don't appear to be Matsuzaki-san's assistant."The man pauses his laughter and peers at Naru with amusement.

"I'm Takigawa Houshou, a monk from the Koyasan sect," he responded with a smile that still filed with amusement, Kuro still laughing in the background calms herself down her abdomen still hurting.

"When did they start allowing long hair on Mt. Koya?" Naru questioned suspiciously clearly not believing him from his appearance Ayako still feeling humiliated states "He's an apostate."

Kuro sweatdrops at Ayako's behaviour clearly she trying to drag someone down with her as her ego was crushed by Naru's statement, Kuro snickers again at this but she does agree with him she does not look like a shrine maiden.

Takigawa sweat-dropped at Ayako as well clearly not liking the fact that she just said that "i-I've just come down off the mountain for now!" He retorted agitatedly, clearly flustered after being called out.

"At any rate, children's playtime is over," he says causing Kuro to become very irritated by what he just said " excuse me does it look like we are on a fucking playground and I am not a child I am a perfectly mature person unlike the two of you, and if we were playing around we wouldn't have this expensive equipment here now do we"

Kuro says in a very cold callous tone clearly pissed of at people calling her a child she doesn't mind if its Naru or Mai being called it but she really hated being called a fucking child.

Mai sweat drops at kuro's statement as it showed clearly she was pissed off, Mai knowing her quite well knows Kuro had a pet peeve of people calling her a child.

so Mai notes to herself not to call Kuro a child ever... Kuro when angry is like poking a bear and she really didn't want to go on her bad side.
