Hey! Sorry, it was more than a couple of days before I updated, but I have a reason! When I first decided to update, I typed it all out and I looked through it a couple of times, then when I hit publish, it said I had to log in! When I logged in, it hadn't save the document. So sorry for taking a bit. haha, but this is the second chapter, I hope you like it! Once again, sorry for the length, it was longer on paper than it was on the computer. I don't own Ghost Hunt by the way, just pretend I wrote that on the first chapter! Haha.
After a long discussion on weather or not 'corectumundo' was a real Spanish word, which resulted in Mai looking it up to prove her point, Yasu finally got to telling Mai what his call after a two year absence was for.
"Well, I know none of us were expecting this, but, Big Boss kept his word... SPR is starting up again!" Yasu revealed. Mai nearly fainted from excitement.
"Really! Oh my gosh Yasu! How did you find out? When did this happen? I cant believe this!" An excited Mai all but screamed.
"Apparently SPR has been open for a while now, with just Lin and Big Boss, but I guess he just couldn't stand not having yo- us there with him." Yasu said, his smirk audible through the phone. Mai disregarded his little 'slip up' knowing he was just trying to mess with was too happy to let her hot head get out of control right now.
"But how did Naru get a hold of us? I mean he didn't have any of our numbers, it would have given away his identity."Mai questioned.
"If you remember, Masako was blackmailing Big Boss, so I guess she had exchanged numbers with him. He called Masako, Masako called John, John called Monk, Monk called Ayako, Ayako called Madoka, Madoka called me, and I called you." Yasu explained.
"I-I was the last one to know?" Mai was hurt,Yasu could tell even through the phone.
"Well you know how the saying goes right?" He didn't wait for an answer, "Save the best for last!" This made a improvement on Mai's mood, but she was still a bit upset.
"I have to go now, but before I do, you have to come in tomorrow at 11:00 AM." Yasu informed.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow!" Mai shut her phone and sat down on her couch. She had forgotten about being hungry and going to the store.
Suddenly, Mai got an idea. She jumped up from her old dirty couch, and ran to get her purse.
"I can't believe this is really happening!" Mai squealed to herself.
She rummaged through her purse for a bit, making sure her key to the office was still in its special place, and when she saw it was, she flew out her door almost kicking the gnome she keeps her spare house key under. Fast walking as fast as she could without running, she made her way to the SPR office. Once she was close enough that she could see it, she broke into a full sprint. Sure people were staring at her, but she didn't care. All that was on her mind was seeing the office with furniture and desks. Of course she could have waited until tomorrow, but she wouldn't have gotten to look at Naru's office. I mean really look at it. The only time she saw it in the days of SPR was briefly to give Naru his tea. She never got to explore.
Breathing heavily, she shoved the key into the door and burst in. Her previously determined face now had a blush creeping its way on.
"Hello Mai, I thought you would come here." A black clad Naru said nonchalantly.
"And why is that?" Mai replied, keeping her cool so she could impress him.
"I had figured out that as soon as you were informed you we hired again, you would want to come to the office to snoop around. I didn't forget you have a key." He added emphasis on the word snoop. He was so happy to have Mai to aggravate again, but of course he didn't show it. Instead he jumped right into trying to get her to yell at him, calling him a narcissist or a jerk. Her face would turn red and she get all huffy. Then she would eventually storm off to her desk. But oh no he couldn't stop there, he would end his fun by demanding tea. He had no one to do that with in England, so his time there was very boring and uneventful. He would have to be extra malicious for the next couple of days, then get her to forgive him by wooing her with his good looks. He was quite excited.
"I know you didn't forget, you were the one who gave it to me after all. And I wasn't snooping, I just wanted to see the office with furniture." Mai said, still keeping her cool.
Naru was slightly surprised by her calm tone, but not the least bit discouraged, "Why couldn't you have waited until tomorrow then?"
"I wanted to see it with no one here." Mai was beginning to loose her cool, why couldn't he just let her look around?
"So you could go in my office." It wasn't a question. It was almost as if he was finishing her sentence for her.
"No!" 'yes.' "I just wanted to look around!" 'Your office. And maybe in your desk drawrs too but..' Mai finished all her sentences in her head. She was pretty angry by now.
"I see. Well I hope you know I had a camera set up in my office, so certain snoopy children can't sneak in after hours."
It was official. Mai was outraged.
"You Jerk! I'm not a kid! I graduated already!" She burst. This was exactly what Naru wanted.
"As did I Mai, but I graduated early, also with a straight A record. Remind me how many F's you had again?" A smirk on Naru's face grew wider as Mai's face got redder.
"I'm sorry, oh almighty narcissistic genius but we don't all have Einstein's IQ!" Mai yelled.
"As I can tell. Say, Mai, while your here, Why don't you make some tea. Make yourself useful." Naru said, waving her off like a fly. He then just simply walked into his office as if nothing had ever stood dumbfounded for a moment, then once she was able to speak shouted, "JERK!" She huffed of to the kitchen and put water on the burner, mumbling about Naru and his narcissistic self. Once the tea was done, she carried it over to his door and knocked.
"Come!" A muffled voice called through the door. She opened the door, walked in, then stopped in her tracks.
'Why did I make him tea? Its not work hours.' She silently asked herself.
"Well Mai?" Naru reminded. Mai snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Naru, waiting impatiently for tea.
"this isn't for you! Its for me!" Mai sounded like she was trying to convince herself too.
"Really Mai? Is it?" Naru prodded. He saw exactly what was going on.
"Yes." Mai answered confidently. She took a big long sip. Naru sighed. He was really looking forward to that tea too.
"I'm just going to leave it here on your desk. I'll be back to get it though, so don't drink it!" Mai said teasingly. Before Naru could object, She ran out his door, grabbed her purse, and ran out the office door, towards her apartment.
Naru stepped out of his door, holding the tea in one hand, ready to make Mai take the tea back. He found that she wasn't there. He looked at the almost full cop of tea in his hand for a moment, then walked back into his office. He set the tea on his desk, then sat back down in his thick leather chair. Attempting to get back to work, he stretched his fingers and got ready to keep typing. he glanced over at the little cup of tea sitting at the end of his desk. And this was how it was for the fest of the night he spent at the office; type a sentence, eyeball the tea.
Well there's the second chapter! I hope you liked it! R&R!
