A/N: Don't know what am I writing, not even check the grammar. My country only has two seasons so snow out from my list, and hope Santa will come and give me one more brain so I can function like normal people. Any typo? Weird grammar? My fault! Please, don't sue me.
Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt or the cover. I want to claim my OC but, nah... If she claims to be mine, please, just walk away. Or if you were a psychic, you can exorcise her, I won't mind at all.
"Naru, it's lunch time. Are you coming?" Mai asked with only head stuck to his office.
Naru looked at his watch and it was time for lunch. "Yes. I'll be there in a minute."
"Kay." Mai closed the door and picked up her mini sling bag.
After Naru back from England he insisted to always have lunch with her. Mai doesn't know why and when she asked it, he only kept on walking and ignored her. It's not that Mai mind, on the contrary she is happy with it. But, the problem is, every time they go out almost all girls gawked at Naru, fascinated by him. While Mai got this evil mixed jealousy stares from them, and took a week to get used to it.
"Move your feet. If we were late come back from lunch because of you, I will deduct it from your salary." Naru strode to front door without waiting for Mai.
"Jerk." She fixed her bag and ran a little to Naru. "Where would you have lunch today?" Mai asked when they went down with escalator.
"As long as it has decent tea, I don't mind," he replied as cold as usual.
Of course, tea is number one for him. Second is his work. "Hm. How about we try the new restaurant two blocks from here? I think their tea would please you enough."
"You think? You haven't been there, how do you know I will like their tea?"
"Geez, Naru, don't be pessimistic."
Naru didn't say anything until they arrived at the new restaurant, but he stole a glance when Mai tying her hair into a messy ponytail and revealing her neck. 'Damn summer,' was his thought. Hell, Naru even can see her cleavage-that he thought non-existence before-from his position, because of the heat she unbuttoned her two shirt buttons. Her body filled on the right places, although she will never get taller than 165cm (5'5). And her short skirt only makes those men more attracted to her. Therefore, he persistent to accompany Mai to lunch.
Naru opened the door for Mai before he let himself in. One of waitress with frilly uniform welcomed them and her eyes straight looked at Naru like he is some fresh meat in the jungle and she is the tiger. Naru of course didn't realize or even care. Mai choose the latter.
"Table for two, please," Mai said, rather loud for Sakura (name tag) so she would notice her presence.
Sakura glared at Mai for a second and then smiled. Fake, mind you. After that she ushered them to their table. Thankful it wasn't window table or girls will stop and drool at Naru. The waitress gave them the menu with her attention still on Mai's companion.
"Are you ready to order?" Sakura asked with extra sugar in her voice. Mai's tooth almost ached because of it.
"Salmon butter sauce and a pot of tea, please." Naru gave the menu back without looked up to the waitress. Mai snickered when she saw Sakura perplexed by the coldness of Naru.
The upset Sakura switched to Mai. "What do you want, little girl?" Rude.
"Sushi teriyaki burger with extra mayo and ice lemonade, please," said Mai, a little sullen with her. She stuck out her tongue at Sakura's back when she went to the kitchen.
"Stop acting like a child, especially when we are in public, Mai," Naru scolded her.
"She was the one who rude. Little girl? Really?" Mai pouted.
"And you pointed it out by stuck your tongue? Very mature," came his sarcastic comment.
"You-!" Mai was so angry and didn't know what to say.
Naru smirked.
The waitress came back with their food and drink. Accidentally her hand brushed with Mai's and she froze. Naru saw this and stopped from drinking his tea. Mai's pupils dilated and then her face scrunched up. The waitress didn't notice it, busy batted her eyelashes at Naru with her smile as brilliant as diamond. Naru once again ignored her, worried with what Mai saw with her vision.
Mai blinked her eyes, back to normal. The waitress already gone without she knows it. She drank her ice lemonade, grimaced.
"What did you see?" Naru asked.
"Something so disgusting. So gross that your appetite will go away from here to England," Mai grumbled. After three moutful of her food, her appetite came back. 'It's so good'.
Naru nodded. "Remember to control your power, Mai. Don't let any vision enter you so easily."
"I know, I'm sorry," she whispered. When her power went haywire, she can't touch anybody without see their past and it had freaked her out. But, everybody in SPR helped her to embrace and control it. Until now they still do that. "Don't tell Lin-san, okay? Or he will be mad at me."
"And what benefit do I get?"
Mai narrowed her eyes. "You are such a jerk, you know that?"
Naru smirked again. "I know. You say that every day, I'm not stupid or deaf, Mai. Escpecially with your loud voice, even megaphone will feel shame."
She snorted so unlady like and continued with her food. Naru called the waitress for the bill when they were done and won't let Mai pay for it. When they were on their first lunch, Naru had to threatening will deduct Mai's salary three times of her food bill, and Mai shut her mouth for the rest of their lunches.
"I will go to the restroom first, okay."
"Don't be too long. I will wait outside."
Mai nodded and went to the restroom. After few minutes she went out then shocked when she saw that waitress, yeah, that rude waitress, was flirting with Naru outside of the restaurant. She was clinging her arms on Naru's left arm, pushed her breast so he would get the idea what Sakura's wanted from him. Naru tried to release his arm but, this girl was so strong, and he didn't want to use violence against woman.
"Come on, don't be shy. Tell me your name," said Sakura as cute as possible.
"I don't have any obligation to tell my name." So cold that even polar bears choose to evacuate from North Pole to Egypt.
"Aw, don't worry. I will take care of you just fine," her tone changed to sultry, thick with temptation. She even brave enough to rubbed Naru's chest.
Naru gripped her wrist and removed it from his chest. "Miss, refrain from touching me without permission."
A cough stopped whatever Sakura's next trick to get Naru to be hers. She turned around and saw Mai with glare and angry expression. 'How dare she touch Naru!?' Mai's animal instinct kicked in.
"You are in the way. Move!" Mai literally growled at her last word. She pulled Sakura's hand from Naru and stood between them, folded her arms, and kept her eyes on Sakura.
Well, Sakura also angry at Mai because she ruined her chance on that handsome man. "Who do you think you are?"
"Who do you think you are!?" Mai asked back, louder than her. "My friend here," she pointed at Naru who eyed them, slightly worried for his own life. "Doesn't want anything from you. So, back off!"
"You ugly bitch!" Sakura snapped with hatred.
"Wow," Mai raised both of her hands. "I really don't want to know what your Mom says to you every night before you sleep."
Sakura clenched her fists. "You're JUST his friend. What right do you have to forbid me to try and get him?"
Mai's mouth frowned. "I may don't have any right as his friend but, if I have a chance to prevent my friend suffered from STD, I will."
Sakura's face was on fire. "Are you saying I have STD?" She was furious.
Mai snorted. That was not a good sign. "Mai, we have to go now. Lunch time almost over, Lin will be mad if we don't go back and let him have his lunch." Tried to stop Mai. This will be going too far if he didn't.
But Mai kept on going. "For now, maybe not, but if you keep on sleeping around with different guys every week then, maybe yes. Contraception doesn't have one hundred percent guarantee, you know. If you want to continue, be my guest. But, leave my friend alone," said Mai with firm voice. Initially she felt guilty because she peeked something that she shouldn't, but now? Over it!
Naru pulled Mai's arm before Sakura can reply and this disaster will continue for how long he doesn't want to know. Not that she can give any response after what Mai said, she literally didn't move at all. "You are too much, Mai."
"Says the one who glared and always degrading my intelligence every day, don't forget about ordering tea every half hour," Mai muttered, still angry with that waitress.
One of Naru's corner lips lifted. "Jealous?"
Red heat crept to her cheeks, looked away from him. "O-of course not. As your friend I just wanted to help you get away from that creepy fan of yours."
Naru eyed a boy passed them while watching how Mai skirt fluttering around her thighs, tantalizing him. He glared at that boy to make him go away, and succeed as always. "Right, creepy. But, I didn't ask you to help me."
"Fine! Then I will go back to that waitress and give your number, your address, your true name. Hell, I will even tell Luela you have already started court her." She pouted and turned back to that restaurant.
Naru held her hand to stopped her, again. "You want to play that way, fine. I will tell Lin you used your power for something trivial and lost your control again. Imagine all those of his scolds and trainings."
Mai shivered. "Naru! You can't do that! That was only one time!" Mai whined so adorably, for Naru at least.
"Try me," he challenged with cocky grin.
Mai knew he will do exactly what he said, maybe even worse. "Fine. We are even!"
Naru shrugged. "Fine by me. As long as you don't spout non-sense to anyone, especially my mother." They continued walking back to SPR. Mai didn't realize Naru still clasping their hands together, not that he planning to let it go.
Mai grinned. "Who knew the great Oliver Davis scared of his mother."
"Say that again when she comes to Japan," said Naru with mysterious tone. They arrived at front door of their office and he quickly disappeared to his office.
"What took you two love-bird so long?" asked Lin cooly from the couch.
Mai's face gone red a little. "Sorry, Lin. We had problem on the way back with Naru's fan," said Mai sheepishly.
Lin only grunted, understand what she means. He closed his laptop, put it on his office. "Mai, do meditation until I'm back from lunch. I know you lost control," Lin commanded while slipping into his coat.
"What!? Who said that to you?" It won't be Naru because, that guy already on his own office and she ignored his tea order.
"Shang," he replied and opened front door to go out for lunch. Shang was one of Lin's shikigamis that always watch over Naru or Mai when Lin couldn't.
"SHANG!" screamed Mai.
