Persuasion and New Case
It's been a couple of days since meeting the ghost hunters at Kuro's old school, Kuro has been focusing on getting into a college so she hasn't really been paying attention, Kuro was currently right now writing notes and looking at leaflets she had collected, each one was a different college explaining what courses they are doing.
Of course she has a vague idea on what college she was going to do but she was still keeping an open mind, Kuro sighs that's when her door was knocked on causing her to jump up slightly, she got up from the comfy chair of her desk and headed to her door, Kuro opened her door and sees her brunette friend Mai who had a grin on her face.
"Kuro-san!" Mai shouted while jumping to her to hug Kuro, tightly Mai seemed to have really missed Kuro especially since she left school and was alone, she was upset that she had to go but she couldn't do anything about it as Kuro was older than her, Kuro chuckled and hugged her back before saying "Hey Mai-chan not that I mind but why are you here" Kuro questions softly
Mai pouted at her sudden questioning but lets go of Kuro and replies " well I have something to announce and also I thought we could go out to a café today, since after SPR went you've been pretty busy" Mai sighs sadly to herself feeling quite lonely, Kuro rolls her eyes " Alright lets go out, there is a small cute café around here"
Mai smiles as Kuro gets out swiftly grabbing a coat before walking off with Mai to a café it was silent as they walked to the café it didn't take long and opened the café door a bell rang out, as an employee head to them both " Kurobara-san you here again so soon? Here there is a table down there in the corner"
Mai and Kuro follow the instructions and began to sit at the table Mai smiled pleasantly at the cute atmosphere, Kuro opens her mouth " so what is the announcement?" Kuro asked calmly, while they wait for a waiter, Mai looked at Kuro with a happy grin before saying "I have a job now! Isn't that great" Kuro looked at her in surprise before asking "Oh? A job huh, well what is your new job then?"
Mai grins for a moment before quickly speaking "Well you know those Ghost Hunters were helped, Naru-chan gave me a job as a Assistant" Kuro nodded and gave her a small smile " I see, well I am happy for you" Kuro replied nonchalant, Mai pouted at her uninterested tone " and theres more" Mai added to her last comment.
Kuro rolls her eyes before asking " and what is that?" she asked softly to Mai who had a big grin stretched across her face, Mai couldn't wait to tell Kuro, she hoped Kuro would agree, if not she was going to persuade her if she has to "Well Naru-chan wanted me to ask if you wanted to work with them as well?" Mai says softly to her friend this caused Kuro eyes to widen in surprise
Kuro swiftly replies " No" Mai pouted at this, she was hoping she would say yes, but alas she didn't so it made things more difficult, Mai sighed at herself before loudly saying " Oh come on, please? We will be able to work together" Kuro stubbornly looks at her and shakes her head causing Mai to pout again " Why? Didn't you enjoy last time, plus I want my ship to go canon" Mai says with a cheeky grin.
Kuro blushes slightly at that, Mai was being troublesome and was slightly annoying her but she didn't say anything and replied calmly " because I have to sort my college out and unlike you I can't miss days off from college, I do have a life too you know" Mai frowns at Kuro she really wanted her friend to work at the same job she had.
"Aww… please? Cant, you just talk to the college you are going to and explain things" Mai replied with a disheartening tone, Kuro exhaled another breath knowing Mai wouldn't give up "Mai-chan… what am I meant to say?" Kuro asked calmly but also frowning at Mai, Mai went into a thinking position thinking on what Kuro could say Mai's eyes lit up having an idea " Well you could say that you have no parents to help you, and you need to work for rent, like me?" Mai told Kuro.
Kuro exhaled a breath, giving Mai a silent stare, Mai may have a point she would probably get the same treatment as Mai, but Kuro didn't want pity either " Mai you know I don't like pity, and also I have enough money to live? I don't like lying" Mai rolled her eyes softly at her friend " well it's not really lying in a way, your living on your own right? So you're stretching the truth, Please Kuro-san?"
"fine? I'll see what I can do" Kuro sighed giving into to Mai her best friend , Mai smiled happily at herself for being able to persuade her friend, "Kuro-san let's go and tell Naru-chan" Kuro nods softly at her giving her the okay.
(Timeskip)
"Naru-chan me and Kuro-san are here" Mai loudly announces that they were here, Naru opened the door of his office and sees Mai holding Kurobara's hand, it was obvious that Mai dragged Kuro with her, Naru was somewhat glad to see Kuro, he knew that she had abilities despite her denying its existence.
"your late" Naru stated to Mai mostly, Kuro sniggers at Mai as her face changed to an expression of annoyance, "Well I am sorry you stupid narcissist" Mai shouted or rather yelled at Naru their boss, Naru looked at her with amusement before replying back sharply " Stupid? I think you're the stupid one Mai I am surprised you even know what a Narcissist is" Kuro snorted at their bickering.
Naru walks back to his office and stated "Mai tea!" Mai's eyes twitch, annoyed at his demanding tone, she was also annoyed that he didn't say please "Are you being freaking serious first you call me stupid and then you want tea?" Mai groans at her boss, why did he have to make her suffer, Mai then turns to an amused Kuro.
"Kuro-san please help me, I'm going to go nuts if I have to spend time with him alone" Kuro sniggered at this shaking her head at Mai's whining tone " you're the one who accepted the Job Mai-Chan, I'll make the tea since you and Naru are going to fight like cat and mouse" Kuro commented going into their makeshift kitchen.
Kuro started to make the tea, her way making sure everything is done properly while Mai-chan watches her, Mai was brought out of her daze "Hey Mai-chan can you ask Lin-san if he wants tea?" Kuro asked Mai softly while brewing tea for Naru, Mai sighs not really wanting to speak to the silent male who seemed to have a grudge on her.
"About that Lin-san doesn't exactly like me…" Mai pouted slightly upset that Lin ignoring her, Kuro chuckled and sighed at the same time " I wonder why Mai-chan, don't worry I'm sure he will get over it, accidents happen if he doesn't suck it up in a few days I will make sure he has a reason to have a grudge on me"
Mai pales at this, Kuro was not one to say empty threats and she didn't want a whole scene of Kuro snaping Lins neck " eh… Kuro-san I don't think that's a good idea, I can handle it myself you know" Kuro chuckles while pouring tea into a white plain cup, Kuro headed to the Naru's office for only it to open " Mai, Kuro we have a case pack up the equipment" Naru stated.
Kuro eyes twitch "are you being fucking serious, I just made this perfectly created tea and now it's going to be wasted " Kuro says to herself in annoyance Mai nervously chuckles at her friend as she glares at the spot where Their boss had just been, Mai was hoping that Kuro wouldn't do anything to him like strangling him.
(A hour later)
Summer was in full swing, as it was quite hot but at least the birds were chirping softly humming their little tunes as Kuro parked the van she had just driven, Mai Naru and Lin get out of the van as Kuro shifts the handbrake on, Kuro gets out softly dropping her feet onto the floor Mai was glad that she finally got out of the van.
Mainly because both Naru and Kuro were in the front of the car arguing, it was quite funny watching Naru getting riled up but for an hour they were arguing, and the fact that Mai had to sit by the silent male who seemed to not like her because of the accident, it was extremely awkward for Mai anyway.
Mai noticed Kuro was holding something her hands, a travel mug that was stainless steel and had the words Raven claw carved into it, Mai was wondering why the hell Kuro brought a travel mug " Umm Kuro-san why do you have that?" Mai questions stupidly, Kuro looks down at what she was holding blinking softly before answering simply "What do you think I have it for Mai-chan since Naru wasn't going to drink the tea I made flawlessly, I decided not to waste good tea and bring it with me to drink"
Mai sweat drops as Kuro smiles at her travel mug weirdly, she was tea crazy she was a serious tea addict I guess no one can come in-between her and her tea, except Naru as he grabbed her travel mug and began to drink her tea that she had made earlier, Kuro eyes widen in shock her mouth was slightly opened.
Mai sweat drops yet again as Kuro stomps her leg downwards in a childish fit "excuse me that's my tea!" Kuro shouted at Naru in a very irritated voice, Naru looked at her in amusement as he drank from her travel mug she had brought with her "and?" Naru affirmed in a straightforward tone not caring the fact there was an angry Kuro.
"And? Did you just say and? Are fucking serious, I'm going to fucking twat you one and pummel you down into the ground " Mai grabs Kuro's arms stopping her from doing her threat that she had just mentioned, Naru sighs as he passed Mai her mug before walking to Lin telling him to help bring the equipment in.
Mai, let go of Kuro as she calmed down, though she was still stomping her foot on the ground, still upset at what Naru had just done, Mai finally looks at the house they were going to investigate, "Wow, what an amazing house!" Mai exclaimed when she turned around and saw the huge Western-style house. It was practically a mansion, Naru walked to the house as Mai and Kuro followed him to the door, where they were greeted by the client, Morishita Noriko-san, and led inside.
Apparently before Kuro and Mai worked for Naru, he had gained his clients who had headed to his office prior three days ago, he decided that he would take it, letting the client and everyone else know, Naru had explained that Noriko had said that the furniture would suddenly start to rattle and that she would hear someone banging on the walls when there's no one in the room, and doors would open and close on their own.
"I'm so sorry to have to drag you out all this way. This is my sister-in-law, Kana, and my niece, Ayami." She said, introducing them to the other two residents of the house. Mai, Naru and Kuro respectfully returned their bows in greeting as she continued. "My brother is on a business trip overseas right now, and it's just us in the house, so I'm feeling uneasy… It's just been very creepy."
Kuro nodded showing that she was listening to her as she spoke, Kuro did feel queasy indicating that there were many apparitions here, she was not looking forward to this at all.
