I have decided to make these into a collection of cute little one shots they are not connected in anyway.
I do not own Ghost Hunt or any of the Characters nor do I make any money off these I am just a fan.
I examined the isle of tea trying to find my usual flavour when I felt some one pull on my sleeve. I looked down to see a young girl no older than four with huge tears in her eyes. I bent down to her level as her sobs got louder.
"Are you lost?" I asked looking around I didn't see any frantic looking people.
The girl nodded her shoulder length black hair swaying with the motion.
"Come along." I sighed holding out my hand she took it as she wiped her eyes with the other. My heart skipped a beat when I saw a pair of beautiful brown eyes looking back at me. They reminded me of a girl I used to know who I hadn't seen since I left nearly five years ago.
We walked around the store trying to find her mother when she exclaimed excitedly and dropped my hand running toward a boy that looked about the same age but, with black short hair.
"There you are Yuki." A familiar relieved voice said.
I looked to see a young woman in her early twenties walking over toward the child.
"Don't you ever do that again." She scolded hugging the child before looking up to stare at me.
"Mai?" I asked shock evident in my voice.
"Naru?" She whispered stunned for a moment before she grabbed the kid's hands and rushed them out of the store.
I followed after not caring about the questioning glances people shot my way. I had to talk to her.
"Mai wait!" I called once we made it on to a quiet street she paused before turning around.
"What?" She almost yelled as she turned around the children peeking out from behind her.
I mentally did the math in my head as I took in the appearance of the children the little boy looked more like Mai but, the girl she reminded me of me.
"They are mine aren't they?" I asked watching her head fall that was all the answer I needed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked feeling mad but, mostly hurt.
"How could I?" She spat. "You left the morning after no phone number nothing."
I had regretted that but, I didn't know how to tell her goodbye. "I'm sorry." I whispered.
"I can't forgive you." She said turning to walk away but, I reached out stopping her.
"Mai I was stupid, I shouldn't have done that." I said regretting my words as soon as they were out of my mouth.
"You regret it?" She whispered barely loud enough for me to hear.
"Mai I…" Just leave us alone." She said trying to pull away. "Forget you found us go live your life we won't bother you." She said I could feel a bit of anger rise in my chest.
"Mai they are my children how would I be able to forget about them!" I all but yelled.
"Would you let me finish." I snapped as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Mai.. I was stupid I knew I was leaving I shouldn't have let my emotions get the better of me but, when you confessed you loved me I lost it cause I loved you too Mai everything I said that night I had meant it." I said pouring my heart out to the girl who for the last four years haunted my dreams.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"Please let me go Naru." Her voice sounded so defeated.
"Mai, I…"
"Please Naru." She begged again.
I dropped her arm but, didn't move away from her.
"I had finally gotten over you enough to live a normal life, I raise my children by myself and now you come back…" She cried this broke my heart.
"Mommy are you ok?" The little girl asked.
She smiled down at her and nodded.
"We should go." She said wiping her eyes.
I felt panic rise in my chest as she walked away.
"Mai, I want to be in their lives." I said.
She stopped turning to look at me.
And at first I thought she was going to tell me she would see me in court but, instead she sighed sounding defeated.
"This is Yuki and Gene."
"Mommy, who is he?" Yuki asked.
Mai sighed kids meet. "Your father."
