Well, here's chapter four. As most of you know, I'm doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for the first time this year and it has been taking up a LOT of time, but I had some extra time after getting my word count done for today so I thought it was time that I give you guys another chapter. The ghost finally makes a move on Mai in this chapter and Naru… well you'll just have to read and find out :D

Disclaimer: I so do not own Ghost Hunt or our petite little pregnant Mai would probably have gotten killed by now

Enjoy!

Chapter 4: An Appearance

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize that she'd be attacked," the client said, nervously ringing her skirt between her white knuckled fists and refusing to meet Naru's eyes. This was the third person their client had neglected to inform them was in the house.

She was irritating Naru.

He crossed his arms glaring at the woman. "Yes, obviously. Why is she in the house in the first place and why did we not know about her?" he asked, his voice even and cold. The woman's niece shivered with a creepy smile next to her aunt.

"She is my nephew's little sister, my niece," the client answered the first question, looking nervously over at where her niece sat nestled against Mai's chest, sleeping with puffy red eyes. Her bandaged arms were wrapped around Mai's waist.

Mai had gone stiff. She had been doing well at ignoring the older niece's glare, but this caught her off guard. She looked down at the girl who she had been comforting for over an hour. The girl was her boyfriend's, or maybe/hopefully her ex-boyfriend's, sister. But she was so small and petite and innocent! How could she be such a bad man's little sister?

Naru noticed Mai go rigid and look down at the girl. With a great calming sigh, he rubbed him eyes and pinching the bridge of this nose with the thumb and index finger of his right hand. "So, why are they here is the first place?" he asked.

"Their mother and father are going through a messy divorce right now. Their mother asked me to take care of them while they are finishing up the paperwork and hammering out the details of what is going to go to whom and who the children will to," she explained, her skirt beginning to fray slightly at the ends from all of the twisting it was going through.

"And your other niece?" Lin asked, indicating the older girl sitting next to the woman.

The client looked over at her. "Her parents are on vacation right now," the client said quietly.

"Fine, fine, whatever," Naru said, his patients wearing thin, "Just make sure they stay out of our way. They are not allowed to wonder unattended either and I only want them in here if they have something pertaining to the case."

"Yes sir, of course," the client said quietly, staring down at her hands, "If that is all I have some… business that needs attending to."

"Yes, I am done," he said making it official by propping a book open in one hand. He was staring at it without really taking in the words. He read the same sentence ten times before realizing what he was doing and moving on the next sentence.

The client jumped up immediately after being excused, bowed to the team and bolted out the door. Her niece lingered for a long time afterwards though, leaning against the tables with the monitors on it, flaunting her flawless legs. Her already short shirt was hiked up even more giving everyone an uninterrupted view of them.

"Do you have something you need?" Naru said irritated, not able to concentrate. Giving up, he snapped his book shut and glared at the teenager.

"Not particularly," she said throwing a dazzling smiled his way.

It fell flat. "Then why are you still here?" he asked, his eyes falling half closed in boredom. Why did he always get slut like girls trying to flirt with him? Not all of them acted or looked like sluts, but a fair amount did.

Her smile faltered. Was he just really dense or maybe gay? Oh god, if he was gay she'd die. She knew from experience that a good lot of the hot ones were gay, but she didn't get that vibe off of him so he couldn't possibly be gay. No, there must be something else. It must be that girl.

Her smile brightened again. "Oh, well, I was just going to say," she started, walking over to Naru and hooking her finger around his shirt collar. She pulled him closer so that they were face to face.

"Oh, I wouldn't do that…" Mai began to advice but a cold glare from the other teen silenced her.

"I was going to say," she started again with more aggression in her voice this time, "That if you ever wanted an actually good time while you were here to just come and find me."

"Thanks for the offer, but I've already got my source of entertainment," Naru told her emotionlessly, "Now if you don't mind, get your hands off of me and get out of my base."

Her hand jerked away from her collar like she had been stung. "Well, if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me," she said sweetly, throwing him one more dazzling smile before disappearing through the door. Faintly, as she left, they heard her say, "Faggot."

Everyone was quiet, waiting for the tapping of her high heels to disappear down the hall.

"Looks like you've got yourself some tail Naru," Yasu said, finally breaking the silence by making everyone groan in disgust.

"No, just another girl nipping at my heels," he growled, turning and sitting on the sofa next to Mai. She was stroking the hair of the smaller girl who was still sleeping on her shoulder.

Just then, the girl yawned, stretching and wincing as her cuts stretched as well. "Oh, where am I?" she mumbled, staring blurry eyed around at the SPR team.

"In our base," Mai said sweetly, smiling, "I'll take you back to room so you can go back to sleep."

"Okay," the girl mumbled, standing obediently and following Mai to the door.

Before Naru could even open his mouth, Mai called over her shoulder, "I'll bring some tea when I come back."

…..

The house, actually it was more like a mansion, was eerily silent as Mai guided the girl through the halls. It was like the calm before a storm. She felt like something was going to happen, and soon.

She found the girl's room easily. It had a door that had the girl's name painted lengthwise down the door. Her room was huge, but surprisingly tidy and sparsely decorated unlike Mai's bedroom back home. This room didn't look like a teenager lived in it at all. Slowly, Mai helped the girl out of her shoes, tucking her in as she fell back to sleep.

Now all she had to do was go make some tea and hurry back to base. She didn't feel comfortable walking around the house without someone with her. What if she ran into her ex-boyfriend? She'd be a goner if he caught her between cameras. Speaking of cameras, she waved happily at them as she passed, making funny faces at them because she knew Naru would be watching her every move.

Actually, in base Naru was so focused on Mai that he didn't even notice when Yasu started to through make a creature on top of his head out of his hair. He'd notice later and get Yasu back tenfold for that later.

Mai's anxiousness eased slightly as she neared the kitchen. It wasn't a small place, but wasn't a large one either. It looked like it was barely used. Maybe the cooking staff had another kitchen that they worked in.

As quickly as she could, Mai located the kettle, setting it on a burner to boil. The tea wasn't hard to find either. There were numerous varieties in a cabinet right next to the stove complete with tea cups, saucers and strainers. It would have taken her forever to find everything in this kitchen if someone hadn't stored it all right there.

A refrigerator hummed quietly across the kitchen. Mai started humming tunelessly as well, making up her own song and dance to it. It was a ridiculous little tune that only someone like Mai could come up with:

"I'm making tea, oh yes I am,

Naru is a narcissist, oh yes he it…"

Something along those lines with Naru and tea the main subjects.

When the kettle started to scream, Mai poured the water into the cups. Lemon and orange filled the air around her, making her more energized even though they were meant to be relaxing. Obviously, Mai's pregnancy had messed with her nervous system.

She sang her song quietly to herself, striking a dance move every now and again. In base, Naru hid his laughter and smile behind a hand, pretending like he was in deep thought and reviewing his notes. It duped everyone except for a very vigilant Lin who just shook his head and turned away from the monitors to watch my Monk and Miko fighting for the fifth time since Mai had left the room.

Even above her song Mai heard a faint whisper behind her. She slowed to a stop, going silent as she turned in a large circle. The whisper again, it was louder this time. "Hello is anyone there?" she called cautiously.

The whisper once more closer now so that she could make out some of the words. "...want. …mine. …stole. …want."

It was moving closer, she could hear is much louder almost like someone was standing right next to her. "I want you. You're mine. He stole you from me. I want you." It increased a scream. "I WANT YOU! YOU'RE MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! I WANT YOU NOW! YOU'RE MINE!"

The tea tray clattered to the ground. Tea splashed across the floor, pooling around Mai's shoes. Mai slammed her hands over her ears searching frantically for the source of the screaming. "I WANT YOU NOW!" With those words screamed over and over again, something to Mai by the throat, slamming her against the wall. Her scream was drowned out by the inhuman screaming.

"Mai!" she heard a familiar male voice, Naru, yell as the world faded to black.

Well, there you go. Hope you liked the chapter. Review and tell me how it was please :D
