Disclaimer as always I don't own Ghost Hunt!
"Can I go now?" She begged Naru.
They literally test her for everything, blood, height measurements, weight... Eyes... Ears.. x-rays... electroencephalogram (test for brain signals) whatever they could think of, she was tested. It was tiring, painful and annoying to said the least... For a moment she thought they wouldn't make her use her abilities. Oh but how wrong she was.
It was at that time she decided she would never do tea for Naru again. The jerk had her key and she saw him hiding it beneath a box on the orther side of a glass.
She would kill him if she could, but Lin put a hand on her shoulder and apologized deeply. It angered her further that Naru didn't but she wouldn't let Lin know about that. He was just following orders.
Grumpily, she listened towards the instructions as many scientists including Dorey, the old man that had been presented to her, sat down on a different room. They were waiting for the show and would be witness to her actions...
She swallowed hard as she nervously turned to look at her hands. What would it happen if she couldn't make it? The question was left in the air as Naru set fire to the box that had her key.
Oh Hell no, he was going to pay for that. Turning on the cameras Naru went to sit beside Dorey and Lin's phone rang.
"Tell her to begin astral projecting the box can only last for 10 minutes" Naru hanged up before either of them could share their disapproval.
"Mai-san... " Lin began as Mai glared at the camera and smashed her fist towards the unbreakable glass.
"You're going to pay for this Naru" she roared dangerously.
Dorey turned to look at his successor but Naru's poker face remained intact.
She leaned down and began to concentrate, even if she was loaded with cables. She had to get her key. The heart monitor suddenly stopped beeping and a long beep scared even Lin. He was about to make CPR when a slow beep began. Too slow for a human.
The doctor on the computer wanted to stop everything but Naru's orders kept her in place. Only Dorey could tell the anxiety in his eyes as cold sweat began to form in his hands...
The cameras quickly made sounds as Mai's spirit passed through the glass, she wasn't visible to the naked eye until she lifted up the water jar and turned down the fire. When she grabbed her key, her heart monitor increased slightly. She was making her way back, when suddenly her eyes began to glow and her head snapped upwards.
Her eyes glared lightly and then widened in fear. Her heart was becoming unstable. She ran towards her body, she dissapeared and everything turned silent
The witness were still in awe when her heart beat died again and turned back to life. The key fell from her hands as she woke up with a start. She threw the cables she had and hear the frantic cheers of the witnesses...
Lin who had knelt down to her level began to check on her and just when Naru entered the room she looked upward again this time her hair did change slightly to yellow.
As both men tried to question her, she quickly pointed to the floor above.
" Demon"
The room instantly turned cold, standing up she turned to look at them before looking down. She needed to get away, her instictin told her.
"Mai-san?" Her hair glew even brighter.
Naru remained silent as Dorey, tried to calm the girl down.
"It's an antique, not a demon. I assure you it is under talismans."
She didn't hear any of that she just jumped. It felt likea tons of ice cubes hit her body, but she didn't care. She transpassed the floor and quickly made a run for it. As soon as she got out of the building, regardless of the scenes she made in her escape. Her knees gave up and she suck as much air as she could, before she was met with a coughing fit.
It hurt every where, she could even see how her skin began to redden. But like Hell she was going back.
She began to stand up, all eyes were on her and she dislike it, she remembered seeing a park not so far away. Maybe she could rest there. It looked harmless.
A shiver stopped her tracks, danger.
A hand quickly grabbed her arm, and just when the touch began to burn her, the hand pulled away.
"Idiot! You're burning up" Naru hissed, shaking his hand in pain.
'eh? Was Naru the one her instincts warned her? No wait... Why is everything turning upside down? Huh.. who turned the lights off?'
...
'ah it feels funny... Hehehe. Ne where am I ? Could this be a dream? Mmm. Is that a song? Ah! Is my voice! Hehehe. Let's sing! I will kill the narcissist when I wake up. I will poison his tea. Better yet.. I will add tons of salt to it! Oh you better watch out you better cry out! Salt and salt and salty.'
She hummed unaware of said narcissist raising an eyebrow in amusement.
"Mai" he called out
"Shut up" she answered back
"... You do realize, who you're talking to right?"
"If I open my eyes I will freaking kill you, you do realize that right?"
".. you will loose your well paid part-time, if you do"
"I don't want to see you. I hate you" she tried to turn around but winced in pain.
"You shouldn't move that much. I don't mind if you hate me but you should at least follow the doctor's orders"
"Just let me die, would you?"
"Mai stop being stupid and immature-" he was cut off in his scowl by her voice, as she quickly faced him and sat down, uncaring of the uv they had plugged in her arm
"I would rather be dead Naru! The person I trusted the most played with the most important thing I had, tested me like a lab rat and a freaking demon nearly got my soul. Perhaps I should had stayed there and let you witness that! And what the f*ck did they gave me?" She buried her face on her pillow and let her sobs die in it. She was dizzy and angry and at the same time, she wanted to laugh out loud.
He just stood there in silence. He sighed and ruffled his hair lightly before answering. "Nitrous oxide, and normal vitamins call me when you are stable"
"Yeah, right. Like that's going to happen. Is there anything I can use to kill myself while you're gone?"
Naru frowned, she was suicidal when intoxicated with the gas. true it was his fault for pushing her up like that but he did it just to avoid doing them later, he only had a week with her in England... He couldn't loose time. But her mental health was down and he knew he had screwed up.
"Naru, you're a jerk! If you were on my shoes..."
"I was already tested like that"
"Were all your tests done on the same day?"
"...no"
"Thought so" she curled herself on a ball.
His knuckles went white with the pressure he exerted on them. He regretted everything and hated himself for being so insensitive. But there was no book that told him how to care, for once the lack of understanding emotions weighted down on him...
"I'm sorry, it was my fault... I should had thought about it more"
"...an apology won't suffice"
"Then tell me, what can?" His voice was uncharacteristically soft.
"Nothing can..."
He sighed, he already guessed that.
"But..." She continued "hug"
"Pardon?"
She giggled and extended her arms "give me a bear hug"
"Mai..." He began, already freaking out about being touched. She pouted angrily, sending him a cursing glare.
"Naru." Stare...
"Fine" he extended his arms, but he didn't get closer. She was the one that jumped to hug him. His arms protectively enclosed around her body to avoid her falling down and before he could even curse the doctor that had sedated her, he began to feel the warm wavelengths in his chest.
Her hands pulled him closer and she buried her face on his chest. He felt for the first time in his life comfortable and even happy, which was confusing him to no end. The weight in his shoulders relaxed and unconsciously he buried his face on her hair. The strawberry shampoo was alluring.
They stood there in comfortable silence until she once again lost consciousness. Sighing and already missing her warm, he laid her down to rest.
Closing the door behind him, he went to grab some tea. When he returned a small letter was on her bed.
Curiosity made him raised an eyebrow until...
His blood turned cold as he read through it.
"Freaks must die"
