File 3.
The Hollow Hotel.
17th February.
Day 1.
Naru and Mai sat in the hall, waiting for the call-in and to get rid of the serious threat Naru used on May just hours ago.
"Taniyama Mai.." a nurse called and Mai got up, Naru followed close by and they entered another white room, they both sat down as the doctor turned "so, Taniyama-san, what's the problem?" Mai blushed "pain, in my right ribcage!" the doctor nodded and then he looke at Naru "your her boyfriend?" Naru blushed, to Mai's surprise "um, no.. he's my boss, he was the one who told me to go see a doctor!"
The doctor nodded "then, if you don't mind, can you take of that jumper?" Mai turned bright red, but did as she was told, Naru watched her from his chair, the feelings that was still growing inside got a spur and grew tenfolds.
"Then, can you lift up your t-shirt?" Mai's blush darkened again, but lifted the t-shirt enough to only expose her ribs and not the rest of her chest.
What the men saw made them both gawk, on her right side of the ribs there was a long scar, it started right under the hem of her t-shirt and disappeared under the hem of her jeans ".. Mai!" Naru asked and stared at the scar, thinking long and hard about when this might have happened, he hadn't ever seen her before, not that he had ever seen Mai naked though.
"Mai, when did you get that?" he asked her, she blushed more and looked down "it's like I told you, it's old.. um, I got it around the time.. when my dad died!" she said, Naru sighted "okay.." the doctor said and laid a hand on the the bare skin, Mai nearly shrieked when the cold hand touched her "there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, but if there's pain from an old wound you probably shouldn't move around to much, try not to stretch and bend to much... and falling and hurting yourself might make it worse... have you had this pain before?" Mai blinked "no.. not really!" the doc nodded "then relax for now.. take care" Mai thanked him and they left.
One Hour Later.
"Mai, tea!" Naru said just as he passed the door-step, Mai frowned, but did as she was told when she had gotten out of her clothes.
While making the tea, she thought of what had happened the last month, true, a month had gone by since she had started working there, of course, there had only been two large cases and some small ones, but they weren't really good or bad, nothing had happened and they where finished by just a few hours.
"Oh, that's right, I need to get some more tea!" after she gave Naru and Lin the tea, she told the youngest that she would head out and buy some more tea.
Pulling the jacket closer around her, Mai hurried down the stairs and down the street to the nearest shop, all the time she felt eyes on her, she shivered, but shrugged it off, the next time, she headed back to the office and felt the same eyes on her again, this time, they didn't feel right at all and Mai began to run, not daring to look behind her, the street wasn't empty with people, it was Tokyo after all, but it wasn't as many as usual, she looked over her shoulder and saw a shadow that followed her.
Mai took two steps in one as she ran up the stairs and burst into the office, luckily Naru nor Lin was there this time to ask questions, she closed the door behind her and leaned onto it "why am I getting all scared of this.. it's just my imagination!" she puffed her cheeks and returned to the task beforehand.
As the day went on, the appointment at 4 pm arrived and Mai welcomed them "I'll call my boss" they sat down on one of the couches and Mai went to get Naru and Lin, once that was done, she went to get some tea.
While making the tea, Mai wondered why she felt like someone was following her "it's weird, I'm used to ghost's following me or watching me so I don't react anymore.. then why?" this kind of thoughts continued to swim around in her head until she felt something itch into the back of her head.
Mai turned around and looked right at the window, she would've brushed it off if she hadn't seen the shadow in the window on the building across to their's.
Mai nearly shrieked, but clamped her hands over her mouth to stop the painful cry, behind her, the water boiled and she had to hurry so it would not over-boil "what was that!" she asked herself and turned to turn down the heat, she filled the cups with hot water and then she put the tea-bags into the water, waiting for them to finish, then she put the hot cups on a tray and walked into the main room, where Naru, Lin and the clients where waiting.
To Mai's embarassement where Naru stared at her, his eyes watching her every movement before he turned to the clients, who both looked at him "begin!" Naru simply said.
The clients nodded and the man spoke up "I'm Murata Kenichi and this is my wife Seya, we own a rather small hotel in the outskirt of Mito, by the shore!" Naru nodded as Lin noted the names on the computer "we desided to call you when things began to get out of hand!" this made Mai, who was putting the tea-cups down in front of the four people stop in her tracks, she looked at the two and then down, a shadow over her face.
"Get out of hand?" Naru asked, Kenichi nodded "yes, around a month ago.. strange things happened, noting serious then.. just things disappearing and then re-appearing, like, vases or pictures and such.. now.." he fell silent as Naru noted Mai's behaviour "Mai.." he began as the girl looked up at the couple "Murata-san.. do you mind taking my hand for some seconds?" Mai directed at Seya, who blinked, but held out her hand and let Mai take it.
Suddenly, as if burnt, Mai pulled her hand back and held it close, she turned her head and looked at Naru, who understood at once "please tell us more.. we will take the case!" the couple stared at Mai, then they nodded towards Naru "now, larger things like chairs and desk have been disappearing, but when it came back, it commonly hit a person either in the head or landed on that said person.. also, people have been disappearing.. guest and we have been losing the few customers we get.. all because of the disappearing" Naru nodded "do the people who are missing appear again?"
Kenichi nodded "no.. sadly we haven't found any!" Mai looked down and Naru nodded "please make ready three rooms, I'd like them all to be close to each other, one for base, two for bedrooms, expect us tomorrow around 3 pm!" they thanked and left, Mai followed down out before coming back and sitting down on the couch, to her horror was Naru sitting there and waiting for her.
"Mai.. what did you see?" he asked, the woman blinked at him "er... just the things that Murata Seya saw!" Naru beckoned her to continue "things like a desk that landed on someone... probably a brother or dear friend, it came out of nowhere and the people that has disappeared, they all look like they from Europe or America!" Naru nodded and stood up "Mai, you can go home now.." then he stopped, he had noticed how Mai flinched when he mentioned her going home "Mai?" "Noll, why don't you or Lin take her home!" Gene asked in his head, this made Naru raise an eyebrow and look at Mai, he almost smiled when he noted that she hadn't heard his voice "why, is there something going on!"
Gene was silent for a while "she might be in trouble if she is left alone, please go with her!" Naru sighted "come on.. I'll drive you!" he said and took the keys, Lin opened the door to his office and looked at them "where are you going!" Naru looked at him "getting Mai home!" Lin nodded, having noticing the look in his eyes he knew there was trouble ahead.
Naru lead Mai towards the door while ignoring the protests from the woman, when they had their clothes on, Naru opened the door and lead to the black car, as they drove towards her apartement, she was silent and always looking out of the window, except when she told him where to drive.
As he stopped in front of her apartement-complex and she made to get out of the car, but Naru stopped her by taking hold of her wrist and pulling her back "I'll come get you tomorrow, so be ready when I do!" he told her, she blushed madly, but nodded and wriggled out of his grip "okay.. later Naru... wha.." she yelped as she yet again was pulled back and then lips where on hers, her eyes widened before she had no option, but to melt into the kiss.
When parting, they where both blushing, although Mai's could win over Naru's anytime "Oliver.." Mai sighted into the kiss, she looked into his eyes and felt another blush rise to her face as Naru held on tight "Mai.." he began as Mai looked down, trying to hide her blush.
Naru titled her face upwards and leant in "Mai, don't get into trouble.. and I'll call tomorrow to get you!" Mai blinked "what about school, I have to study too!" "take tomorrow off!" Naru told her and she nodded "Oliver.. what is wrong?" this made him smile slightly and Mai almost suspected Gene had taken over his body, but to her shock he hadn't.
"Nothing Mai.. go and sleep, you'll need it!" Naru told her and she nodded, but she hesitated when he let her go "Oliver?" Naru hummed in response and Mai blushed slightly "good night then.." she said and got out of the car, before she closed the door, she heard the one thing she had never thoughts she would get to hear from the narcissist.
"Good night Mai!"
