HEY EVERYONE! THANK YOU SOOOOO SOOOO SOOOOO MUCH FOR ALL THE REVEIWS AND ADDING MY STORY TO YOUR FAV/ALERT LIST! I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE FOR THIS!
Well, here you go, chapter 2 of Life Without You!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own anything about Ghost Hunt at all!
O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*
"Oliver…"
It can't be. No he shouldn't be here…
He looked at me and for the first time ever I saw his eyes widen before they relaxed, but not fully. You could see the shock in his eyes, hell; you can see the shock in everyone's eyes when they slightly glance at me. After the gang split, I changed everything. And when I say everything I mean everything.
I let my hair grow out so it reaches the middle of my back and I dyed it black and got dark red highlights; I threw every scrap of my old, girly clothes away and traded it for ripped stockings, fish nets (a type of legging/stocking whatever) and dark plaid skirts, big puffy, dark skirts, band tees, and biker boots and just leather boots in general, just your average Goth entire. I now were dark red and black makeup, and stuff like that. I don't even think people know what I look like without makeup.
Naru on the other hand looked completely… similar. Nothing about the man had changed; he still wears the same black clad getup and he still had the same somewhat shaggy, raven black hair that fell just above his midnight eyes. The only thing that changed was the fact that he maybe got a little taller, but nowhere Lin-san's height. Wait LIN-SAN!
I looked over to find out that it was in fact the tall man that had turned on the lights, not Naru like I had thought. How did Naru turn on the lights when he was holding my wrist I have no clue but what can I say… I'm panicking.
"Mai?" he questioned.
I took this opportunity to slip out of grasp and run for the door. But my plan totally backfired in my face. Lin-san being the man he is stopped me in my tracks.
"Out of my way" I growled.
He looked slightly shocked at my tone but I wasn't in the mood to be messed with...
"Mai, we just want to talk to you, it's been years." Lin replied with a sad look.
This made me angrier than before. I already had a terrible mix of feelings bubbling inside me; hate, discuss anger, and shock but most of all… sadness. I didn't want to see him. Ever. I hate him yet love him; this stupid mix of emotion was killing me inside, making me sick to my head and stomach.
"Yah?" I questioned sarcastically, "I haven't noticed Lin-san, but who can blame me. Right? I wasn't the one who left for three years, leaving everyone behind with no way to contact you, not even a good-bye." I spat back, tears starting to slip.
"I wasn't the one who broke a person's heart and JUST LEFT! I WASN'T THE ONE WHO KILLED THE ONLY HAPPNESS I HAD, THE ONLY PEOPLE I HAD. IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED THERE IS NO ONE HERE. I'M THE ONLY ONE. WE SPLIT WHEN YOU LEFT… The others tried to stay in contacted but I…" I stopped there not daring to go any further, for the fear of that more tears than there already was would spill. My body was shaking furiously with anger. The last time that I had cried, that I had felt like this, I barley remembered. I wasn't trying to remember.
I felt a hand on my shoulder; I looked up to see Naru looking me in the eye with the slightest bit of guilt and pity. I summoned the meanest glare I could at the moment and sent it right to the man holding my shoulder. He continued to look at me, and then he gave me one of his world famous glares.
"Ha, I'm shaking in my boots, the scary Naru is back to ruin my life. Well you know what? It's NOT happening." I screamed, tears still flooding my eyes.
I pushed his hand off of me, casually walked to the door, pushed Lin-san aside, and made my way downstairs to the little restaurant below. Everyone looked at me as I passed, whispers of "wow, it looks like some just died" and "her makeup is running, she looks like a clown" and, here's a good one, "hate to be her." Yah buddy me too. I didn't care what anyone said at the moment I just want him to go back to England, to his rich mommy and daddy to be the spoilt little brat that he is.
O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*
I made it to the door but not before something better yet someone grabbed my wrist once again. I swung around to come face to face with those eyes. Those blue orbs, deeply glaring into my cinnamon ones. I couldn't take it anymore I needed to get as far away from him as possible. He began to glare at me, and then pull me up the stairs once again. Like natural I began to struggle against him. Thrashing wildly at his hold, he was still too strong.
O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*
Once he pulled me into the SPR office and shut and locked the door. He let me go. He shouldn't have let me go. All I wanted to do was punch him right in his pretty little face.
So I did.
I hit him right in the jaw; it made a disturbing crack sound. Hitting him made me feel great, to finally show him how I feel. Too bad that's not how I feel. I still love him, I know I do, I just don't want to admit it. My knuckle started to burn but I ignored it and kept my gaze on him. Lin-san looked like someone just got him by a car right in front of him. And Naru. Well Naru didn't look shocked, not at all. He looked incredibly pissed. Those midnight blue orbs, no longer looked blue. To me, they looked black. Pissed off black. He brought a hand up to his now red jaw and rubbed it tenderly. It was only then did he begin to approach me. Backing me up into a wall behind me, he grabbed me by the wrist and pinned my arms above my head.
"Let me go! LET ME GO!" I began to scream and again trash around like a mad woman.
"Why the hell did you punch me Mai?" His voice low and dangerous, but I still didn't dare to take my eyes off of him.
"Noll let her go. She doesn't want to talk." Lin-san said quietly.
Still we didn't break our eye contact, though he replied,
"I am not letting her go until she agrees to talk to us and stop acting so childish. If she has forgotten this is my office and if I am mistaking she is intruding, so I'm pretty sure I have a right to an answer."
Lin didn't speak anymore. I finally looked away from his glaring eyes,
"Fine… I'll talk…"
O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*
Naru and I sat on the couch in the main room as Lin-san made tea. There was a long, awkward silence as we waited for the tea. I was extremely nervous as I tried to avoid Naru's cold eyes. Lin brought the tea out and I thanked him with shaky hands. He took note of this but remained quiet. I looked at the tea debating whether I should drink it or not, I eventually gave in but not before I took in the scent of the fresh black tea. After a moment I finally took a sip of the drink. The warm liquid trailed down my throat slowly. It instantly relaxed me but my relaxed stage was quickly broken by the sound of someone putting down their own cup.
"Begin." Naru said dryly.
I glared at him.
"I'm not your employee anymore. I'm not even your friend, so you have no right to talk to me like that." I spat at him. He seemed slightly taken back by my words but he didn't let it show long.
"You have two choses, one, you can talk to us and tell us what happened, or two, you can be stubborn and we can call the authorities, your choice." He spat back.
We sat there for a moment just glaring, wordlessly at each other before I caved.
"I'll talk. Just don't call the cops; I'm not trying to go back there again today."
I tried to explain what had happened over the years and why I was here right now, but my voice betrayed me. My eyes were burning and blurry from the unshed tears, and my throat was dray and scratchy.
"After you left, you know for England, my best friend, Yuki died."
O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*
OH NOOOOO CLIFFY!
