I apologize for not updating this for a long time. I've been busy and I actually put "Lost Princess" before this. But here's the next chapter!

Short but I hope it's enough to satisfy you

Enjoy!

Everyone was beyond shock when Mai slapped Naru, except for the two ladies, Ayako and Masako. Naru didn't move, he knew that something was off. "How could you?" Mai started. "How could you lie to my face all this time?! Acting like nothing happened?!" She yelled. She took whatever was on the side table and threw it to the accused man. He easily dodged it. "I had my reasons" he replied. "Mai…" Ayako said, trying to calm her down. "Don't! I need explanations! I need to know why he hid it from me?!" she explained to Ayako. At this time, Masako and John went out to get the doctor. "Tell me!" she yelled again. Naru was speechless, he wouldn't let any living soul know that he did it because he wanted to keep her by his side. He knew that the moment she finds out the truth, she'll leave him.

"Stop being a cold-hearted jerk and tell me!" she demanded and threw a pillow at him.

"You want an answer? I did it because… I can't find an assistant who makes great tea like you" he lied. Mai knew he lied as well.

"Liar! Just tell me the truth!"

Masako and John returned with a doctor and two nurses. Mai was thrashing around and throwing things at the dark haired boy. They decided to sedate her because her actions could harm herself as well. The moment Mai fell asleep, all eyes were on Naru.

"You should've told her the truth" Masako told him.

"It's my business and what I do with it is not of your concern" he replied coldly.

"It's not?! Jou-chan was hurt! She's still hurting, not physically but emotionally" Takigawa explained to the idiotic scientist.

"Well then, you are all welcome to explain her everything" he told them and left.

The moment he left the room, he called a nearby inn to stay for the night, knowing that the others wouldn't want him around. On the way there, he thought about what he said. He knew that the lie he told Mai would hurt her, but being an idiot he thought that it'll be so much better than telling her the truth.

Mai was discharged from the hospital two days after she woke up. The doctors didn't find any signs of malfunction her body but advised her to relax. When they returned to the pension they saw Naru already waiting for them by the door. Mai walked past him without another glance while the others chit chat their way to the base. Once there, Naru gave them the orders for the day, except for Mai. So, Mai tagged along Ayako and John taking temperatures at each room. When they passed the hot spring, Mai stopped and starred at it. The first one to notice was Ayako, she called out for Mai down the hallway, "Mai." Instead of replying, Mai took a step forward, going near the waters. Both Ayako and John ran after her. When they turned, they saw her face to face with a brown haired figure. The figure was beautiful but after it noticed their presence, she turned bloody. Mai snapped out her gaze and turned to the others with a worried expression, "Run!" she yelled.

How was it? I know you guys want to kill me with the cliffys but it makes you want to read more...?

Reviews? Comments? Suggestions? Questions? Corrections?

Massive thank you!

Oh! I might start a new fanfic soon... It won't be Ghost Hunt but I'm leaning towards Inuyasha... It'll be inspired by Ed Sheeran's "The A Team" and One Direction's "Moments." Posted right after I finish "Lost Princess" so watch for that :)
