Don't own anything else than the stalker (sadly) and Naru's car!

File 6.

Filtering the Ghosts.

It deemed to her later that Bou and the rest had come back to tell them something when Naru had kissed her in front of them, one priest blushed hard, one medium looking like a murderer and other two smirking exorcist's.

Mai gasped of air when Naru finally parted with her, they where both red as beets in their faces, but one could starts think, was it the early and cold spring-time weather or the kiss that made it?

"Ol.. Naru!" Mai exclaimed and turned her head away so the rest of the gang couldn't see her deep red face, Naru didn't look at them either, just smirked inwardly "oh well, shall we go Mai!" he said and took her hand, she looked at him and huffed, but she smiled and said "let's do that"

They said bye to the guys as they passed, Mai somewhat stiff, trying to hold back her blush, while she plain out ignored the murderous glare from Masako, they left them to look after them, two out of four looking rather lost, but for different reasons.

Mai got into Naru's car and glared at him for a second "you didn't have to do that you know!" Naru laughed and Mai simply turned into ooze in the seat from the sound "why, they would know then.. that you belong to me!" Mai blushed deeply "well.. yeah" she mumbled and tried to hide her blush.

Naru started the car and they left the parking lot just as Mai remembered something "I need to head over to my apartement, I need some stuff.." Naru nodded "hey, whatever happened with university?" "hm.. dropped it, I just took that line because I didn't know what I'd want to be, now I know though!" she said and smiled, Naru turned and looked at Mai for a split moment "what.. why?" Mai smiled "I want to become a ghost hunter, I am a medium.. after all"

Naru chuckled "sure, I'd hire you.. a woman with no education!" Mai pouted "I don't need too... if you only knew" Naru stopped in front of her apartement and looked at Mai "what do you mean?" Mai turned to him as she took of the seat-belt "some producers has already asked for me to become an actor and such, but I turned them down" she fell silent as she opened the door and got out of the car "I'll just get my stuff and come back here okay!" she said, Naru nodded as Mai closed the door and went up to her apartement.

Just as she had disappeared into the doors of Mai's complex, Naru noticed that familiar shadow and quickly got out of his car, he locked it and looked at the shadow, then he smirked, the stalker had disappeared as quick as Naru had gotten out of the car, suddenly a very bad feeling crept onto him and he looked up at the apartement Mai owned, he couldn't see any light, wich made him wonder since Mai usually turned the lights on when she entered a room.

Naru walked over and opened the door to the complex before he made his way over to the elevator, quickly pushing the button to the floor Mai lived, he prayed silently for her safety, not wanting her to be either scared or hurt.

The elevator stopped and Naru walked out of it and found the door to Mai's apartement, to his anger and shock was the door open "Mai!" he whispered and quickly walked over to her door, he turned and entered the apartement, finding Mai on the floor in the hall, she was sitting with her feet on each side while she had her face covered with her hands.

"Mai!" he closed the door and lit the room, this made him stop dead in his tracks.

"Mai?" his voice was low, and to his own shock was it slightly high pitched, most of the floor around Mai was covered in pictures, pictures of her.

He ran over to her and sat down, laying his hands on her shoulders, she flinched and seemed to want to scream, but saw who it was and relaxed further "Oliver.." she whispered, Naru folded his arms around her and held her close, not wanting her to be scared for some reason, he looked at the pictures "Mai, where did all these pictures come from?" he had a reason to believe it could only be one person, but he wanted it to be something else.

"I-in a package.. oh.. Oliver, I'm scared!" she said, sobbing into her hands, he quickly turned her so she was facing his shirt "Mai, it's okay" he tried, but she shook her head "how is it.. every time I come here, something happens.. I don't want it too.." she cried, now into his shirt.

Naru glared at the pictures "come on, I take you back to my apartement, I'll help you tomorrow to clean this mess up.." he helped the woman up before he lead her towards the door of her apartement, Mai had nodded somewhat half-heartedly.

"Oliver.." Naru looked down at her as she looked up into his eyes, hers still filled with tears and glistering in the faint light, that's when Naru desided that if he ever caught the bastard, he would use his blood to paint Mai's living-room and his body as a broom to brush away all the photo's.

He lead Mai out of her apartement and locked the door for her, then he lead her to the elevator, inside it, he pushed the button to first floor and kissed her forehead "it's okay now Mai" he told her and she sighed into his chest "Oliver.. thank you, but how did you know?" Naru looked at her "I saw him.. and got out of the car, I guess I just felt you where in danger or something.. I'm not sure actually!" Mai chuckled, but said no more.

They made it to Naru's apartement without any more delay, after that Mai borrowed Naru's bathroom and was in there for almost a whole hour.

"Mai, if you stay in there any longer, you'll end up as a raisin!" Naru knocked on the door, he was fairly sure she had by now either drowned in the bath or fallen on the floor and hit herself, but she proved against him "I'm okay Oliver.. and besides, I wont turn into a raisin you know!" she told him through the door.

Naru glared at the door as if to move it just by looking at it "Mai" he threatened, he heard she got out of the bathtub and wet feet's against tiles she probably ran to get a towel, Naru began to open the door as he heard a shriek from the inside "wait, Oliver, I don't have clothes on!" Naru raised an eyebrow "I've seen you before Mai" he said calmly as he opened the door fully, seeing Mai standing there with only a towel in front to cover herself "Oliver!" she shrieked again and walked backward, falling right into the bathtub, plashing water everywhere.

Mai gulped and spluttered water around as she tried to get up and out again, she still clung to the towel, that was wet and warm against her skin.

She sat up in the bathtub, but didn't move "Mai.." Naru said, his voice low and Mai looked up at him, a dark blush crept onto her face and she looked down "what..?" she mumbled "here" she looked up again and saw a hand, Naru had reached it out as an offer for help.

I know this is short.. again, but it's more of a laugh\blush chapter, wich I just wrote to get along with the story, and it's because I'm stuck at some more obvious! Hehe..
