File 6.

Filtering the Ghosts.

24th March.

Day 1.

Mai opened the door to the office and found it empty "weird, Oliver left with me, but I just went to get the tea he likes.. where are they!" she thought as she hung up her jacket and put away the tea, just so, the phone on her desk rang and she went over and picked it up "yes, this is Shibuya Psychic Research?" she waited for a somewhat nervous voice, since most of their clients where often nervous about what to say or ask.

"Yes, is your boss in?" Mai raised an eyebrow "no, he isn't in for the moment, do you want me to give him a message?" "no thank you!" then he hung up, Mai glared at the phone and puffed her cheeks "at least be a little more nice!" she said and sat down beside the desk.

Suddenly she felt sleepy, her eyes started to close, but she forces herself to stay awake "w-what's wrong with me?" she wondered before she felt herself fall asleep.

Just as Mai did, the door to the office opened and Naru came in, Lin close behind, they both looked at Mai, who was sound asleep with her head placed into her hands, Naru glared at her, but she didn't wake up, not even react to his voice "Mai!" he walked over to her just as she started to slide off the chair and Naru barely caught her before she went face to face with the floor.

"Mai.." Naru stated as he put her on the couch and wrapped a blanket around her, maybe she was just tired, the last three weeks had been a killer, even Naru felt that now, but still, she never went as far to fall asleep without any need to do so.

She mumbled in her sleep and one of her hands clung to his shirt like he was her last hope of ever surviving.

And that's how it became and that's also how Bou, Ayako, John and Masako found them too, Naru sitting on the couch with a bunch of files in front of him and one in hand, while one sleeping Mai was lying on the same couch, clinging to Naru and smiling in her sleep.

Bou just couldn't help himself "so you two finally got together!" he said, noticing the pink tint on Naru's face, wich he found hilarious to a certain degree "no, she is just asleep!" he told them, ignoring the fact that two of them was smirking and one was glaring ice-cold daggers at the sleeping girl "any new cases we should be informed of then?" Bou asked as he, Ayako and Masako sat down on the other couch while, John, asked by Ayako, went to make tea for them all.

"No" Naru said and continued to read through his files when the phone ran and Naru picked it up "yes?" "Shibuya-san am I right?" Naru raised an eyebrow at this "yes.." "I'm the officer you and Taniyama-san spoke with the other day.. about the stalker" Naru looked at Mai from the corner of his eyes "oh yes, what is it about?" "we would want you two to come over and have another talk, if that is okay with you?" Naru almost snickered, but held back when he remembered that the rest of the SPR was still there "that's okay.. when?" "um, would today.. at 6 pm do?" Naru looked at the clock 2.30 pm "sure!" then he hung up, the other's watched him, theirs eyes filled with interest.

"Who was that?" Bou asked, his usual smile making it's way to his face.

Naru looked at him "nothing for you to worry about" then he turned back to his files, hoping they wouldn't find out he was too worried about Mai to even focus on the files "so.. where did you and Mai go, when I asked where Mau had gone since she wasn't in her apartement, I asked Lin, he said she was with you!" Ayako said and Naru felt heat rise to his face when the memories from almost month ago came to his mind "nothing, she just stayed over at my place.." "and still does!" he finished in his head, this made two out of four snicker and start whispering to themselves, Naru then continued to ignore them for the rest of the day and he still couldn't get through the files he had, his stupid head had for once been back-tracked by some very sweet memories with one woman.

9th March.

Prior to what had just happened, Naru continued to kiss the woman until she was utterly turned into a liquid mess on the floor in the closet, he didn't know if Mai had any experience in this, not that he wanted to know of any possible past boyfriends, but still.

Mai's heavy breathing caught his own and he looked down at her, not really sure what he was looking for, at least he had found his answer to Gene.

Then he stopped, pushing himself away from Mai and away from that lustful heat "O-Oliver?" she asked, looking so dazed and beautiful it was weird he hadn't taken her yet "Mai, I.." he began, Mai looked up at him "if I do .. anything more, I'll be no better than that.. stalker!" Naru said, sighting in defeat and was for the first time in his so shocked and surprised when Mai hit him and then kissed him that he lost his balance "that's not true Oliver!" she said, her eyes glistering with tears "your far better, because I love you I don't care, your the one I want, not some old fagot stalking me!"

Naru was surprised, to say at least, but he hadn't even expected her to say it without even a hint of a blush, but that one came about ten seconds later when she realised what she had just said.

"Um.. Oliver.." she began, but was shut up when Naru kissed her again.

And if Lin hadn't chosen that time to make a call and ask where the heck they were, Naru would probably have taken it the whole way.

After that, Mai ended up bringing Naru at least ten liters of tea and they somehow ended up asleep on the couch, Mai in Naru's arms and they where by all means looking very pleased, peaceful and happy.


Okay, I'm sorry it's very short, but please hang on with me!
