Disclaimer: My newest boy obsession? Prince Nuada from Hellboy 2… A dark, brooding, elfin prince… What's not to like? But sadly, I own neither Nuada nor Ghost Hunt.
Pairing: Mai and Naru
Theme: Wrong
-
"You're wrong." Naru pointed to a mark on Mai's practice answer sheet. "Europe isn't a country."
"What? Then what is it?!" Mai asked, completely baffled. She was studying for her Geography quiz tomorrow.
"It's a continent. Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America."
"Oh… Hey wait, did you alphabetize them too?!" Mai asked after writing down what Naru said. He merely nodded once and returned to his office.
"Have you ever been wrong?!" Mai yelled at his and threw her pencil. It hit Naru square in the back of the head and he stopped. Mai felt a shiver run down her back as he turned to face her.
"I haven't." He said coldly. And he slammed his office door shut, making Mai wince.
"I'll prove you wrong someday…" Mai muttered aloud for no one to hear.

"This is Alex. He just transferred to my class from America and I'm showing him around." Mai smiled as she introduced her new friend to the SPR group. Bou-san saluted, Ayako nodded, Masako glared, and John stood to introduce himself and everyone else.
"It is pleasure to meet you. My name Alex." His Japanese needed improvement but everyone kept their mouths shut.
"S-So, is Naru here? Maybe he'd want to meet…"
"Meet who?" Naru appeared, leaning against the door frame to his office. Mai introduced Naru to Alex who bowed and smiled.
"Are you the boss of Mai?" He asked, trying to start a conversation. "I am one of the classmates of Mai. Your name is Naru? It is a strange name."
"Your Japanese is horrible. You should study before trying to speak again." Naru turned away and left. Mai glared, trying to keep her anger in check.
"Did I say wrong something?" Alex asked quietly. Mai shook her head and told him to go home.
"I'll have a little 'talk' with Naru." She said as she closed the door behind him. The look on her face stopped Bou-san from trying to discourage her from talking to Naru. She opened his office door without knocking and quietly shut it behind her. Bou-san scampered over to the door and pressed his ear against it, trying to hear their conversation.

"Naru, why were you so mean to Alex?" Mai asked, glaring at the boy sitting behind his desk calmly.
"I merely offered him some well-needed advice." He replied, his eyes slowly turning to face Mai. She glared harder.
"He's new to the country. Give him a break!"
"He should be able to converse in Japanese properly to be able to attend a Japanese school. And by the way he was looking at you, it seems like you two have more than just a classmate relationship." Naru said, trying to keep his voice calm. The truth was that when Naru saw Alex giving Mai appreciative glances, a strange feeling took over his mouth and he said such mean things.
"What?! No way! We're nothing like that! You're… wrong… Hey, you're wrong." Mai stared at Naru in astonishment. Naru looked at her sharply.
"So you are not dating that awful boy?" Again that strange feeling overtook him.
"No I'm not and he's not awful are wrong, yet again. "
"You don't love him?" The feeling was starting to cause more trouble than it was worth. Naru attempted to squash it out, replacing it with nothing. He tried to return to his emotionless state but that odd feeling wouldn't leave.
"W-Wh-W-What?!" Mai stammered and leapt back, blushing a dark red. "N-No. I do not love him. I love someone else…" She froze when she realized what she had just said aloud.
"Who?" The strange feeling flared when his sharp ears caught her last sentence. "Bou-san?"
"No way!" Mai laughed at the preposterous suggestion.
"John?"
"No!"
"Who?!"
"You, you idiot!" Mai yelled before flinging open the door (smashing Bou-san's face), and running out.
"…" Naru stood behind his desk, the strange feeling gone and replaced with another feeling. One he actually recognized. Happiness. It didn't take him long to realize that he had to chase after her.
-
"Mai! Wait!" He yelled when he caught up to her. Mai looked over her shoulder and he caught sight of a few stray tears rolling down her face. He cursed himself for being the cause of her tears and sped up. He caught her in his arms and held her tightly. Mai tried to shift to see his face but he shook his head.
"Please, it will be easier for me like this." He whispered into her ear. Mai's breath hitched and she nodded dumbly. "I always keep people at a distance but you kept pushing those boundaries. And eventually you broke one. You bring out the best and worst in me and I actually… Mai, I love you."
"… Damn."
"What's wrong?"
"I was going to gloat about proving you wrong but now is just not the best time." Mai said and twisted in Naru's arms to kiss him.
A/N: Kawaii, no? (blushes)
