Okay, so Iloveanimex and I wanted to do this together considering we've never seen any of the guys on Ghost Hunt blush and well... This came out!
sakemori: I don't own Ghost Hunt though I certainly wished I did. I would make either Lin or Naru fall in love with me. *sighs* And own SPR! And maybe... No never mind. I can hear Yasu's teasing now. *grimaces*
Danielle: Wait! Yasu is here?
Yasu: Yep! Hello, Sakemori! Hello beautiful...
sakemori: *rolls eyes* Unfortunately...
Danielle: *blush*
Gene: Danielle-chan! Hello! And, Sakemori, may I say, you do look lovely...
sakemori: *blinks at Gene for a second before glancing around and pointing at self* Me?
Gene: *nods with trade mark smile* Of course you!
sakemori: *looks at Danielle for help while blushing* Eh...
Danielle: On with the story!
sakemori: *blinks in disbelief* Wait! You aren't gonna help me with this?!
~Mai POV~
After Miss Dodson and her assistant, Miss Kitridge, left the office, I looked over at Naru to find him staring off into space, obviously in deep thought. Maybe thinking of something profound and overly complicated. Lin was done typing, and was glancing every so often at Naru, curious as to what he was thinking.
"Naru?" I called, but when I was met with silence, I got up and crouched in front of him. This wasn't normal. He never acted like this before with a past client. "Naru? Oliver?" Nope. Still lost in thought.
"Lin," he called after a long moment of silence, before closing that black book of his and getting up. I followed him, watching as Lin got up as well and went into his office. I really hated when they do the whole I-can-tell-what-you-want-by-simply-saying-your-name thing. Seriously! Not everyone can tell what you want just by their name, you know! I breathily wondered if they were telepathic... it would make sense.
"Mai, tea!" Naru called, much to my annoyance. I had made him a tea when the clients were here! What does he even do with all that tea?! He must have some kind of bottomless pit! Stupid tea addicted narcissist! I stomped my foot stubbornly, determined to make him wait. I picked up the teas from in here, included the discarded one I had made for Naru a while ago, before slowly making my way to the kitchenette. I was so determined to take my time, that I didn't end up dropping a thing!
I washed everything up, before I even put the kettle on. If I have to wait to hear what they are talking about, then he can wait for his tea!
After another ten minutes of stalling, the tea was done. I sighed and let the tea leaves seep for the right amount of time as I thought to our new clients and their situation. It made me shiver just thinking about it. Those poor women! Having to go through something like that. I shook my head as I put all three cups on a tray and made my way to Naru's lair, uh, I mean, office.
I opened the door, forgetting to knock. They stopped whatever it was they were talking about mid-sentence. Like they were trying to hide what they were talking about. I felt my annoyance levels raise, and placed the tea on the table, with more force then necessary. Take that, you narcissistic jerk!
I stood there, waiting for a thank you I knew I wasn't going to get.
"You may go now," Naru dismissed with a wave of his pale hand and I crossed my arms before stomping away. Fine! Don't tell me if you don't want to!
"Stupid unemotional, egotistical, lying, narcissistic JERK!" I screamed once I slammed his office door behind me and stalked towards my desk. I fumed for a few seconds before sitting down and putting my head in my hands. He's not cold! He has emotion like everyone else, he just has problems showing them. I sighed and looked at the files on my desk that needed to be put away.
Sometimes, I wondered why I even fell in love with him...
~Danielle POV~
"You had knives thrown at you?!" I yelled, a white knuckle grip on Sierra's shoulders. Sierra forced a shaky smile on her lips and a small laugh from her throat.
"I'm fine! Stop worrying," Sierra promised, putting down the tea to stop from spilling it. "You know, you're starting to sound like my mother. It's a bit appalling."
"How could you say that? I have to worry! I make it my responsibility, and I am very good at it! Don't take that away from me!" I demanded ignoring her last two sentences and pulling Sierra into a hug. She patted my head, and called me an idiot. I ignored her, that being one of my other talents. Our hug broke at the sound of Mai's gasp of shock. We looked at her, pointing at Sierra's leg. I followed her gaze, seeing what she was pointing at. Sierra was bleeding.
I ripped the fabric over my stomach, covering the wound. I had panicked, but the closest other places for cloth or fabric, were hazards. The kitchen and upstairs. I may have been mistaken, but it looked like the black haired young boy with glasses, was blushing. He was so cute, but I wasn't going to say that aloud. I averted my gaze, feeling my cheeks heat at the shy way he bit his lip. So cute!
"Stupid! That was a new top!" Sierra scolded. I pouted, my cheeks heating more. I tied off the fabric, and leaned my head on her shoulder.
"Why can't you stop acting? You know I'm worried about you, and you care more about a top," I muttered weakly, feeling my eyes fill with tears.
"It's designer," Sierra argued softly. I thought I heard Ayako mutter something about 'not ripping designer'. I hit my friend upside the head, with no strength behind it. She looked a little shocked, but she seemed to come to her senses. Her strong exterior softening slightly, giving way to a more vulnerable Sierra. One she wouldn't show anyone if she could help it. Not even me, although nowadays she was more open.
"I know you worry," she whispered as she pulled me into a hug. I squeezed her as tight as I could, taking in her subtle scent of lilac perfume. "But I can't help it when things like to attack me. You've joked how much of a trouble magnet I am." She pulled back and shrugged with a small smirk, though her eyes showed fear. She was scared, but not strong enough to hide it.
"Trouble magnet?" I scoffed, sensing her want of a subject change. "That's an understatement. A major one." I shook my head in mock sadness and smirked myself. Her eyes narrowed before she hit me upside the head with a huff of annoyance. She met my eyes, hers saying thank you, as she picked up the tray and began walking.
"Let's go to the base," she called over her shoulder. "I really don't want to lose my assistant. I like your hot cocoa too much for that."
I blinked at her, before my eyes widened in disbelief. "I thought I was your best friend?!" I pouted.
"You are!" she teased, a smirk playing on her lips, as she raised a single fiery eyebrow at me. "But you are also my assistant," she reminded with a shrug, before quickly walking away.
"Hey! Get back here, you jerk!" I cried as I stormed out after her, her childish giggle leading the way.
~Sierra POV~
I had allowed my normal stoic mask to slip slightly, giving my friend a glimpse of what I was feeling. It was the least I could do, being as she had done nothing but worry. What right did I have to push her out of my intermit circle, if all it would do, was bring her pain? I had known of her sleepless nights. It made me feel guilty. Guilty and a bit restless myself considering I worried about her as well.
I knew I couldn't stop her from worrying, considering my trouble track record. I have been in the hospital more times then I can count, most of them from near death experiences. I even died once! Though that wasn't entirely my fault. It was our last case, hence why we were on a vacation. My memory is hazy, but I won't forget the feel of warm blood against me skin, Danni's screams, and the twisted out-break of laughter that filled my mind. STOP! I tried shoving away the memory. Now was NOT the time to get caught in the past.
I walked into base, finding it only partially set up. I sighed, a weak, half-smile on my lips. I guess my little incident had slowed them down. I really don't mean to be a trouble magnet, but Mister Shibuya wasn't going to be very happy.
Danni walked into base behind me, and it became very evident that she wasn't too happy either, if her frown and concerned eyes were of any indication. I owed her an apology. I would wait until we were in private though. Without witnesses.
I set the tray down, before removing the tea cups and sausers, like it was second nature. Despite what you may think, I was an assistant myself once. Making tea and cocoa in my teen years was the main thing in my life. Nowadays I was my own boss, with my own assistant. I was the proud CEO of BPRI, Blackwood Paranormal Research and Investigations, after it was passed down to me by my retired, and extremely strange, uncle. He allowed me to use his deceased daughter's name so I wouldn't drag my mother and two younger sisters into this messed up business. It wasn't fair to them. Who card if my older twins brother's were dragged through the mud though. It might teach those two stuck-up lawyers something.
"Do you not appreciate me, and all I do for you, Sierra?!" Danni asked, her voice sounding almost threatening, instantly drawing me from my trance. I turned, raising my brow teasingly, although she may have thought it was mocking.
"Of course I do," I informed, a smirk playing on my lips. I held back a wince as the pain of my recent injuries suddenly hit me. "Why else would I have hired you? You do all of the filing and make excellent tea and hot chocolate. Not to mention, you have astounding observant abilities."
She smiled, before the teasing began anyway. Her reaction wouldn't disappoint. "Though you have been known to get into trouble while on the job, you're constantly late, and you talk back constantly. Sometimes, I'm not entirely sure why I hired you in the first place."
Her mouth went from a grin, to the floor. Her cheeks heated, and stained red, her anger barely contained. "Why you little jerk-" she began, before we were conveniently interrupted by Mister Shibuya.
"Miss Dodson, I would like to discuss what happened," he suggested, though it didn't sound like I had a choice. I did as I was told, walking with Shibuya to the sofas before he started to question me. I glimpsed Miss Taniyama's raised brow as she walked to Danni...
~Danielle's POV~
I seethed with anger. Sierra was lucky Shibuya interrupted us. I sighed, letting my frustration subside. I couldn't stay mad at her for too long. I saw Mai, from the corner of my eye. She bit her lip, and played with the edge of her skirt, before approaching me.
"Hello?" she greeted timidly, averting her gaze every few seconds. I quickly noticed it as a sign of nervousness. I wasn't that scary right?
"So, your a tea slave too..."
Danielle: Sorry! This took a long time because of me! I put my work before this, and I know it was wrong of me! I hope you can forgive me!
Yasu: You left me for so long!
Danielle: Oh, um... I'm sorry!
Yasu: *winks* Don't be sorry, babes.
Danielle: *blush*
Naru: You should put your work before this, unless you want to be as dumb as Mai.
Mai: HEY! You idiot scientist!
sakemori: *runs in wheezing* N-Noll! Get your damn twin under control! He's trying to molest me! Oh, and Danni? Please keep Osamu Yasuhara AWAY from my underwear drawer. My sisters nearly had a heart attack when they walked in on him going through it with a cell in his hand.
Danielle: *glares at Yasuhara* You WHAT?! *slaps*
Yasu: HEY THAT HURT! *pouts* I swear, it's not what it looks like...
Naru: *sighs* Please review, and tell us how you thought it went... *mutters* There is only so much more I can take...
sakemori: *smirking and nodding to self in approval* I don't know, Dr. Davis. I find this hilarious.
Naru: *rolls eyes and smirks himself* You would, Sakemori.
sakemori: *turns and glares at him* And what the hell is that suppose to mean?! *turns to readers* Review before I kill all of these idiots. *mutters incoherently*
