Don't own Ghost Hunt. :)

"Why hello there..."

The two girls' eyes' widened at the sight. It was a female, and had an evil grin on her face.

"You're with those ghost hunters aren't you?" She spat. At that moment another ghost appeared, male this time, and floated forward.

He had an expression of disdain on his face as he noticed Mai and Mika.

"Can't we just leave everyone alone and move on?" He asked the ghost beside him.

She turned to him and frowned.

"Oh hush. You didn't have to die. It's your own fault that you commited suicide and to be honest, I'm annoyed that you did! I didn't ask the doctors to save you instead of me for nothing, you know."

"But I missed you!" He exclaimed in a whiney voice.

"Aww... That's so sweet..." Her cooing voice quickly changed to malice as she pulled a 'Worlds Best Wife' coffee mug out of nowhere and thwacked him on the head. "But you're still an idiot!"

Forgotten, Mai and Mika looked at each other with raised eyebrows.

"I'm not sure I understand what the heck is going on here..." Mika whispered.

"Same here." Mai replied.

"Maybe we should just...slip out of here?" Mika suggested quietly.

Mai shook her head, "Doors locked."

They sat in silence for a few moments, watching the ghosts bicker.

"Reckon they'll try to hurt us?" Mai asked.

"I honestly don't know."

"..."

"I feel ignored."

"Same."

"Kind of bored, as well."

"Same."

"And hungry!"

"Same."

"Hey, shouldn't these camera's be picking all this up?"

"Sa- Wait. Yeah, actually. They should." They stared at the camera and frowned.

"Wonder what's going on..." Mai muttered.

~At base

Monk frowned down at the objects in his hands, utter concentration on his face. Nearly everone looked at him expectantly. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. He raised his head, with a dead serious expression on his face.

"John?" He asked slowly.

"...Yes?"

"Do you... have a nine?"

"Go fish."

~Hospital Cafeteria

Naru finished the last drop of tea and frowned slightly into the cup.

He looked over at Lin, who was persistantly typing away at his laptop.

"We should head back to base." Naru said.

Lin only nodded, closed his work, and stood up, following Naru out of the cafeteria.

A few minutes later, they were at base. Naru glared at the people surrounding a spare table with a twitching eye. Why weren't they working? Why was no one watching the monitors? Why was there no Mai to make him more tea? And more importantly; why Go Fish?

Apparently, the first question was more appealing to him, for a few seconds later he was fixed with sheepish stares.

"Get back to work. All of you." He commanded, and wandered over to the monitors.

One in paticular caught his eye, two girls huddled by a wall, giving the camera a meaningful look, and raising their eyebrows a two ghosts in front of them.

He peered closer at the screen and recognised one of the two immediately.

"Mai's in trouble." He barked at everyone in the room and shot out the door. They all followed quickly, worry apparent on their faces'.

Finding the door was locked, Monk kicked the door open swiftly and barged in with a, "Mai!"

The door landed straight ontop of where the ghosts were.

The male looked shocked, not feeling the door at all, but seeing in fall straight through him. He spun around to Monk and fixed him with a horrified glare, "What're you trying to do, kill us!"

The female ghost whacked him up side the head and scowled, "That door couldn't kill you if it tried, you baka." Seeing the glares and looks of determination, she muttered to the other, "Also, I think now would be a good time to leave. Like, now."

He nodded, and they left quickly, before anyone could to anything.

"We're saved!" Mika exclaimed in glee. Those of them who could fit in the room smiled in relief as they saw Mai and helped her up. The storage room was filled with cries, "Thank goodness you're safe, Mai!" "You had us worried for a bit there Mai!" "Mai! You're alright!"

Mika sweatdropped at the scene and said dryly, "Oh yeah, no worries about me, I'm just an innocent bystander."

They looked at her with sheepish looks and said a tad less enthusiastically, "You're ok too!"

As they all made their way back to base, John noticed Masako's confused expression.

"Are you alright Masako?"

She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him questioningly. "What do you mean?"

"You looked a bit troubled." He explained. Now everyone was looking at her.

She lifted her hand to her mouth, a habbit of hers, and spoke. "I'm just a bit confused... It's almost like those ghost we just encountered, were... It's hard to explain really. They were... strange."

"Strange?" Ayako prompted.

"Almost as if they weren't overly troubled, but decided to haunt the building anyway. They didn't seem to have much of a purpose." She took a moment to think, "But there was still... something. I'm not sure what."

They all mulled over the new information in silence, before Masako deadpanned. "And they're not very smart either."

~A while later, at base

Lin, Naru and John surrounded the monitors intently, replaying the footage from the storage room. Turning it off, as it showed the door crashing down, John faced everyone and announced, "So far we've gathered information that... The wife asked Haruko to save her husband instead... And... She has a 'Worlds Best Wife' coffee mug. That's about it."

"Seriously?" Ayako asked.

"It's not much, I know, but at least it's a start." John said.

Mai brightened up, "Oh, and their names are Hoshiko and Kiyoshi Kimura!"

Everyone stared at her, "What?"

"Dreams again."

"Ohhh." They all nodded in understanding, appart from Mika, who was left extremely confused.

"Hoshiko and Kiyoshi Kimura..." Yasu murmured. "Well. Time for me to go! I'll be back soon."

Before anyone could say anything, marched out the door and out of sight.

"..."

"Mai. Tea."

The sound of a facepalm resounded throughout the room loudly. Mika looked over to Mai suddenly and grinned knowingly. Realisation flickered across the brunettes face.

A few minutes passed after the two girls left. They came back with overly innocent faces.

"Here you go." Mai said cheerfully and passed the tray over to Naru, who obliviously nodded and continued reading.

With the exeption of Lin and Naru, everyone gave the two teenagers a strange look as they watched Naru eagerly, camera in hand and hiding behind John and Ayako.

They had thought long and hard about this, trying to decide what would work best. And they weren't going to let all of that go to waste so easily.

~Flashback

They made their way towards the cafeteria, in hopes of finding something good to make the tea with. Along the way they were stopped by Haruko, the doctor.

"Oh, hello Mai, Mikashi." He smiled as he shrugged a white coat over his hospital scrubs.

"Hi Dr. Haruko." They chorused, barely able to contain their grins.

He eyed them warily for a few seconds, "What are you two up to?"

"Oh we were just going to see if we could find a place to make Naru some tea." Mai explained.

"Naru?" Haruko asked.

"Kazuya." Mika explained.

"Ah... Well, I might be able to help you there... If you're heading to the cafeteria, you're wasting your time. The ladies there a tad stingy with their supplies... You could try the staff room on the first floor though?" He suggested. "It has a kitchenette as well, so it's perfect."

"Oh, thanks heaps Dr. Haruko!" Mika grinned and pulled Mai towards an elevator.

Haruko watched them leave, wary again. 'They're definitley up to something...'

"You know, we could've just taken the stairs..." Mai said as they walked into the staff room.

"But what's the fun in that?" Mika asked rhetorically. They made the tea itself, and pulled out various powders to complete the drink.

"Okay, we've got salt, cayenne pepper, citric acid, vinegar, and baking soda." Mai said thoughtfully. "And we have to narrow this down somehow..."

"Salt would be gross, but he would probably smell it before he would drink it... So probably not salt." Mika stated. Mai nodded in agreement and placed the salt back in the cupboard.

"Cayenne pepper could possibly change the tea's colour a bit, and Naru knows his tea." Mai mumbled, loud enough so only Mikashi could hear.

"Baking soda would have him burping the rest of the day, which would be hillarious, but it would also change the drinks appearance a tiny bit. Also it would be quite cruel... Baking soda really is gross."

They put the baking soda back with the cayenne and salt.

"So that leaves us with citric acid, and vinegar." Mika muttered.

They grinned and turned to each other, simultaniously saying, "Citric acid."

Once the sour concoction was made, and mixed thoroughly, Mai turned to Mika.

"Are you sure we should do this? What if Naru gets angry?" Mai said warily.

"I'm sure he won't fire you or anything, if that's why you're worried." Mika said reasuringly.

"Alright..."

~End of Flashback

Naru picked up the cup slowly, unknowingly building suspense. He continued reading, and sluggishly bought the cup to his mouth.

Mai's eyes widened in anticipation.

He took a fairly large sip, and the unexpected taste was instantaneous.

Naru choked and sputtered slightly, spraying half of the liquid back into the cup. He then proceeded to bow his head down, tilted to the side, giving the camera a nice view of his distorted expression.

He shuddered, attempted to compose himself and finally gathered his bearings. That is, except for his twitching eye...

Lin had turned away from his computer at the sound of gagging, and widened his eyes. Slowly, a small grin appeared on his face. He quickly turned his attention back to his laptop to disguise his quiet chuckle.

John looked like he was having a hard time comprehending what just happened.

Ayako wasn't having a problem. She gave Mika a sly look, who was still attempting to conceal herself behind the red headed woman.

Monk, who was innocently watching the monitors for any signs of the ghosts, pivoted, and gave a snort of laughter.

Masako didn't seem to know what to think. At all.

Naru glared at Mai and Mikashi. "Who's idea was that?" The two girls pointed at each other, causing Mai to gape in betrayal.

"Mai made the tea!" Mika exclaimed.

It was the truth. Technically. Just... Not the whole truth.

'I'm so fired.' Mai thought. Naru's scowl was all but burning a hole through her skull.

Monk came to the rescue of the brunette and said with a grin, "Oh, give them a break, Naru. It was just a harmless prank. And it's actually pretty obvious that it was Mikashi's idea..." He looked over to her.

Mika grinned sheepishly.

The room went quiet.

"...Fine. But, Mai?" Naru asked, turning his back to everyone, and continued reading.

"...Yes?" She asked hesitantly.

"Tea. Actual tea."

Sorry this came late, I had stuff going on and I'll make an effort to update sooner!

I also have a few questions that would be good if they could be answered...

1: Is this story going too fast, too slow, or just fine?

2: Would you like a pairing of some kind? And if so, which one?

3: Do you want more serious parts? (I'm warning you; They are sometimes difficult for me to write .)

Anyway, please answers those in a review or something ^^

And now; This chapters GHFBT!

Naru finished the last drop of tea and frowned slightly into the cup. Why is the tea always gone?

He looked over at Lin, who was persistantly typing away at his laptop.

"We should head back to base." Naru said.

Lin only nodded, closed his work, and stood up, following Naru out of the cafeteria.

A few minutes later, they were at base. Naru stared blankly at the people surrounding the those... cards? ...Yes. Yes they were.

"Monk, do you have a queen?" Yasu asked.

"Go fish."

Naru gasped loudly, grinned like a maniac and started bouncing up and down. "Oooh! I wanna play, I wanna play!"

Everyone sweat-dropped.

I had help with this one, but said person does not want credit, in fear of being labelled a pervert. Said person is not a pervert. Nor am I. I just think this is funny. Hehe... GHFBT#2

Lin, Naru and John, surrounded the monitors intently, reviewing the footage from the storage room. Suddenly, John blushed and looked away an extremely embarrased expression on his face.

Naru stared blankly at the monitor for a moment before facepalming violently. My poor camera!

Yasu and Monk, who had been watching over their shoulders paused for a second. Monk laughed awkwardly and lifted a hand to stem a nosebleed.

Yasu cracked up laughing, turned to look at Mika, gave a thumbs up and simply said, "Awesome."

Lin sweatdropped slightly and pivoted to look at Mika. "Ahem... Mikashi... Why did you flash the camera?"

The question caused Mai to stifle a laugh and smile knowingly.

Mika responded shamelessly, "Well I had to do something to get your attention. We were stuck in there for like half an hour!"

Insert awkward silence...

"...Right..."

Reviews make me happy :D hint hint
