Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt

Ryushi wasn't sure what had caused the overly intense atmosphere but he knew his girlfriend need his help. He didn't want to say anything for fear as to what might happen so he opted in giving Mai's hand a reassuring squeeze. Mai was grateful for her relationship with Ryushi at that moment.

"I would like to accept your offer to work for you again Shibuya-san. However, I won't be of any help. I don't have any powers anymore, of any kind. But I'll only come back on one condition." Mai said more confident thanks to Ryushi.

"What?" Naru asked irritation in his voice.

"My boyfriend Ryushi comes on all of our cases. He doesn't need to be paid." Mai said deciding this for him before even asking to make sure that it's alright with him. At this revelation Naru lost more control over his powers and the temperature in the room dropped another twenty degrees. Ryushi's eyes widened slightly only because he didn't want to disturb the two of them. He wasn't sure what was freaking out his girlfriend so much but he would do anything for her even if they only met almost a week ago.

"Why?" Naru asked clearly displeased.

"I need him as support. Ever since you left I haven't been able to use any of my abilities and I'm not sure if I can handle working like that again without Ryushi next to me." Mai told Naru.

"Fine. You start tomorrow." Naru told her indicating to leave the room. Mai was satisfied and left with Ryushi behind her. Once the door was closed she turned to Ryushi and hugged him.

"Thank you Ryu." Mai said against his chest. They stayed like that for a while until they heard a soft cough from the other side of the room.

"Hey Lin" Mai said after jumping away from their embrace with a flush. When she looked up she caught sight of his shiki before looking at him. It was only for a second so she hoped that Lin didn't notice. Ryushi however still wasn't sure about what was going on.

"It's nice to make you're acquaintance, my name is Arishima Ryushi." Ryushi introduced himself to the man named Lin.

"Lin Koujo." Lin replied bowing before looking back at Mai. He knew she came to visit thanks to his Shiki when she entered the office area without knocking. He was concerned because if it was one of the irregulars they would definitely make their presence known. However, when Mai noticed him just now he thought he saw her look at his Shiki just then, but it was probably just his imagination her powers would have to have grown got expectantly.

"I came to see Naru about getting my old job back." Mai informed the stoic man. Lin gave a nod watching her, waiting to see if she'll show signs of seeing his Shiki again.

"I'll see you tomorrow Lin!" Mai said forcefully happy as she pulled Ryushi along with her again trying to leave the office. However she didn't fool anyone with the force happiness in her voice. Lin didn't say another word as the two left and instead had decided to check up on Naru. Lin knocked once as he entered Naru's office.

"You need to calm down Noll." Lin simply said.

"I know. It's just when she finally comes to get her old job back she brings her boyfriend." Naru calmly states as he puts his powers under wrap.

"Have you found out anything about 'Ai'?" Naru asks after a few seconds had passed.

"Nothing new. I did find a new case however. The client agreed to come over to discuss the details tomorrow." Lin told him. With that the two were done talking and went about their work silently.

On the other hand Mai felt like she needed to explain somewhat what had happened at the office with Ryushi so she took him to a nearby park that was eampty.

"You're probably wondering what had happened, huh?" Mai commented as she sat down on a bench.

"Well it seemed to me that you and that Shibuya guy didn't get along so well back there. Wait! Is he you're Ex? " Ryushi asked scared of Mai's answer.

"No. Remember how I told you that I want nothing to do with spirits or Parapsychology?" Mai asked after giggling over Ryushi's question. The question itself wasn't what made her laugh, but it was the way he had asked that she thought was funny.

"Yeah, it's been bothering me. Especially since your PK is so powerful." Ryushi confessed.

"It wasn't this powerful before. Five years ago I worked at Shibuya Psychic Research. It was a happy time back then." Mai said solemnly

"What happened that made you change so much then Mai?" Ryushi asked knowing that the topic seemed hard for her to talk about.

"Shibuya-san had to leave the country on family matters, and before he left I confessed my feelings for him." Mai told him as she leaned into him. Ryushi could tell that she wanted to say more on the matter so he waited for her to continue as he wrapped an arm around her.

"At the time everyone I worked with agreed to stay in contact with each other even after he left and closed the office. And we did for a little while. It's just people grow apart when everyone's busy with their lives. And Shibuya-san had said he would return after a few months, but never did until almost a week ago." Mai said summing up her whole tragedy.

"Is that why you agreed to date me?" Ryushi asked somewhat curious.

"No. I really do think you're amazing Ryu." Mai said snuggled closer to him. Ryushi was glad about her answer and kissed the top of her head.

"And I am sorry about making you come to all of the cases. I hope you don't mind. But you know I'm thinking it as payback for how you asked me out for our first date, and about what you did then." Mai told him looking up at him.

"It's fine. I'll just take some time off from work. After all you mean a lot to me Mai so if you need me there I'll be there. Promise." Ryushi told her lovingly. Mai had nodded her head against him in response which made him smile. They stayed there like that for what was probably hours before Ryushi realized that she had fallen asleep. He smiled softly before he picked her up bridal style and carried her to his apartment which wasn't that far. He lived relatively close to the park to where he could see the park from his apartment. Once inside he gently placed her on his couch and started to make her some tea for when she woke up. He sat next to her stroking her hair while watching her sleep truly happy that he was able to ask this beauty to become his girlfriend.

When Mai finally woke up she instantly realized that she was in a foreign place and couldn't remember how she got there, but when she saw that Ryushi fell asleep while looking after her she instantly relaxed. She smiled at how his expressions would change every now and then while he was asleep. After some time she managed to get off of his couch without disturbing him and looked around his apartment. It wasn't as small as her's. The bedroom was separated and the kitchen seemed a little bigger. When she found the cup of tea he made her she felt happiness go through her. It had been quite some time since she felt like she could belong somewhere. Mai started to look around for supplies for coffee when she realized her situation. Her face flushed thinking about how much of a couple thing she was doing; it truly made her happy. After finally starting the coffee she returned to the living room to find Ryushi still soundly asleep. She knew that she was keeping a lot of secrets from him and he was probably keeping some from her too, since they did just recently start dating. Mai waited for a while for him to wake up while watching him sleep. He seemed to be too peaceful to wake up. When Mai finally got a look at the time she realized that she needed to go home soon in order to get ready for school for the day. Somehow she wasted almost an entire day being with Ryushi. Mai wrote a note next to the cup of coffee she left him sitting on his coffee table in front of him. It simply stated how she'll call him later and her thanking him for the tea and visit.

After school Mai gave a quick call to Ryushi and they chatted as she went to her job at the Maid cafe to give notice of her quitting. Since she'll be working at SPR again she really wouldn't be able to put anytime in working at the cafe. Mai quickly made her way to the manager not bothering with greeting her co-workers.

"I'm sorry to tell you, but I can't work here anymore." Mai told her manager.

"Why not Mai-chan? I thought you liked working here." her manager replied back worried.

"I really do, it's just with school right now, and I recently got a different job with friends I haven't seen in a long time." Mai told her manager.

"I just simply don't have anytime to keep working here. But I promise if I ever need a job again I'll come straight here looking for one." Mai continued.

"Alright. If that's what you truly want. I'll send you're next paycheck to your address then. Come by and talk sometime though okay?" Asked her manager. Mai smiled, she really did like working here at the cafe.

"I will. Thank you for understanding." Mai told them as she went and collected her things from the back and left the cafe. Once out of the cafe Mai checked the time and was alarmed because she'll have to report in to SPR in a few minutes so she hurried there so that Naru wouldn't tease her.

"Tea." Naru said as he heard the brunette girl enter.

"I know Naru." Mai replied back as she hurried to boil the water. As she was completing the task she could hear somebody else in the main area and decided to make an extra cup for them.

A/N: So...She's working with them again! I hope you liked this chapter! Lot's more drama to come in the upcoming chapters for sure! Please Review/Follow/Favorite!

QTZLCTL: Thank you very much for the review. I can understand how the chapters are shorter than most Fics for Ghost Hunt on this website, but this Fic has the longest chapters of any fic I have on here, so I am trying. I do know it'll cost me some readers since my upload speed is monthly with these short chapters and everything but it's better than every two months! (which was the original speed...) I am kinda rushing the characters a little I guess...I'll try fixing that in later chapters! Please tell me if it gets better then! I'm glad you like my story and there are some developments that are surprises to come! I just get so excited when writing this fic that I just rush it I guess... Sorry. Please leave another Review!
