(previous chapter: Everyone looked to the SPR main door. Leaning against the doorframe was Madoka.)

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Madoka-san! When did you get here? I thought you were still in England!" Mai said in shock.

"Well, I was but then I decided to come and help out my friend. When we got here I had to stop by Lin's apartment and get a few things and then I came here, that's why I was late getting here," Naru's teacher replied.

Ami stared teary-eyed with happiness at Madoka and quickly jumped up to tackle her into a hug, which the other woman openly accepted and returned.

"Madoka-chan! You came here for me?!"

"Of course Ami-chan, that's what friends are for," Madoka laughed into her friend's shoulder.

Lin loudly cleared his throat to catch Madoka's attention. The woman stood up, suddenly a little bit more composed, and brought her friend up with her.

"Ami-chan, can you tell Noll (A/N: Naru's real nickname/ short for Oliver) about what's been going on at your family inn?" Madoka asked after seeing that Naru was ready with his notebook and pen.

"Why of course I will, silly! Hmmm. Well…as long as I can remember there have always been strange things going on at my family's Inn. People would hear a man's voice calling out for someone by the name of Sakura, and then things would start flying around rooms. Luckily so far no one has been hurt but I'm afraid that if things aren't stopped soon somebody may get into danger!"

"Anything else?" Naru questioned the older woman.

"Yes. Many of the guests say that they sometimes hear a woman crying through the walls. I've heard it as well. My son, Kaoru, is actually quite sensitive to spirits, just like his father was, and he says he can even see them float around the rooms at the Inn."

Naru turned his gaze towards Kaoru. "How many spirits have you seen so far?"

"Only two: one of a man in room 53 and the other of a woman near room 27. They both seem to be devastated though. I've been trying to help them but whenever I get close enough to their spirits they either disappear or I pass out," the dark blond haired boy answered.

Naru looked in thought for a while and finally turned his gaze back to his potential clients. "Alright. My team and I will arrive tomorrow at four o'clock. We will need three rooms available to us; two for the eight people of my team to sleep in and a third for our base. Is this alright?"

"Of course, and thank you so much! I know! I'll go get the rooms ready!" Ami yelled as she sprinted out the door. A few second later she ran back in and pulled Mai into a bear hug. "I almost for got to say goodbye to you Mai-chan! Kaoru! What are you doing? Let's go!! We have to get ready for Mai-chan and Madoka-chan" she said to her son and took off again after a quick hug to Madoka, and this time the red head didn't come back through the door.

Kaoru stood up sighing and rolling his eyes. "I apologize for my mother's behavior. She gets excited very easily. However, this time I'm probably as almost as excited as she is, seeing as we are going to have such a beautiful guest staying at our Inn," he said while taking Mai's hand and kissing it.

If looks could kill, then the one Naru was sending the blond flirt who was currently kissing his girlfriend's hand would have made the boy explode onto a million pieces. Naru placed his left arm over Mai's shoulders and one of Kaoru's eyebrows rose slightly.

"It seems like I have some competition," the boy said and with that he left the SPR building with a gaping Mai staring after him. When she felt her boyfriend's protective arm around her shoulders she couldn't help but smirk to herself.

"Ne, Naru why are you so protective all the sudden? You aren't jealous are you?" she teased, causing Naru to send a glare at her and drop his arm from around her. Kukuku he looks like a pouting child…KAWAII!! She smiled and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry Naru. You're the only one that will ever have my heart…aishiteru (I love you)," so Madoka and Lin wouldn't hear.

Naru's glare disappeared and was replaced by a half smirk, half smile. He turned to her and whispered in return, "You better, because I sure as hell love you, and I'm definitely not going to loose to him."

Madoka ruined the moment for the two by saying "Well, we're going to go now Naru, Mai! I'm a little sleepy from that flight back here and I feel like I'm about to crash!"

"Okay! Bye Madoka-san. Bye Lin-san!" Mai called after the two. When Mori-san and the Chinese man were leaving the office Mai's eyes widened. The two were holding hands.

Once they were gone Mai turned to Naru determined to know what that was all about.

"Naru! Are Madoka and Lin together?!?!"

Naru just smirked and got up to go into his office. "Mai, tea."

"UGHH!! You didn't answer my question!" she yelled but it was too late, Naru had already closed his door, ignoring her yelling completely.

"Naru! ANSWER ME, BAKA!"

Before she went home for the day, Mai decided to go to the bathroom to relieve herself, and couldn't hear Naru's door open as he quietly walked over to his girlfriend's desk. He placed something heavy he had bought for her earlier that day on some papers that littered her desk and quickly returned to his office so the young brunette wouldn't notice he had been there.

Once Mai was finished washing her hands, she left the bathroom to go back to her seat and get her things. She stopped. There was something in a plastic bag placed on her desk. What is that? she thought and lessened the distance between her and the parcel by walking closer. It wasn't there before. She picked it up and read the letter that had been on top of it.

Mai,

I hope these will make you happy.

-Naru

(p.s. - maybe I was a little jealous earlier

…just a little)

Mai smiled at the last part of the note but soon her expression became curious when she thought about the first part. I wonder what he got me!

Happily Mai opened that bag and yelled for joy at what she saw.

She ran into Naru's office ant tackles him with a hug and a long kiss.

On her desk in the other room was a bag full of…oranges!

I've got to buy her oranges more often, Naru thought as his girlfriend licked his lips trying to deepen their kiss…Oh yea, I definitely need to buy her oranges more often.
