Now on with the story
Chapter Two: The Long Awaited Phone Call
The night before:
"Hey Mai. So you have a cell phone now? Were you calling about math again?" Haruhi asked, enjoying hearing from her middle school best friend. Mai was the only person who knew about Haruhi's incident that landed her with the Host Club, out side of the Host Club, any way.
"Yeah. I just can't seem to get the whole idea of polynomials inside my head. See, this is why Naru calls me stupid," Mai sighed.
Haruhi laughed. "So this is the narcissistic boss who owns Shibuya Psychic Research? And polynomials aren't that hard. All you have to do is.." Haruhi's voice faded out of Mai's mind as she thought about the case that had made her miss school and was the reason why polynomials were such a disaster for her brain. She decided to talk it over with Haruhi, since this polynomial business wasn't getting anyone anywhere.
"At the last case we were at," she started, interrupting Haruhi, "We had way more psychic activity than normal. The psychic attacks started to get on Naru's nerves, and Masako started getting unbearably haughty, saying that the ghosts just wanted peace, and why was everyone trying to mess with them, and typically making my life a living hell. Again. Why does Naru keep inviting her along anyway?" Mai finished, venting.
"Since I don't know him, I can't answer that, and can you explain psychic activity to me please?" Haruhi asked, used to her friends bursts of emotion, and eager to learn about her friend's job. "Can you do those with your psychic powers?"
"Um, we're not sure yet. We're still developing my psychic abilities, I guess. And psychic attacks are when violence happens with PK, usually by a ghost, but it can also be by someone alive with PK, if they have enough ability." Mai answered, trying to explain the complexities of Naru's explanations.
The two talked late into the night, with Haruhi helping with homework, but also having fun talking to a friend that was a girl.
The Next Day at SPR Headquarters:
Mai sat sighing at her desk, looking longingly at her cell, which she knew Naru would never let her use, while she filed his all-important folders. Stupid narcissist probably thought it was too lowly a job for someone as amazing as himself. Mai snorted at the thought.
"Mai! Tea!" Naru yelled from his office, as if he could hear the directions of Mai's thoughts. Wouldn't put it past him to. She thought, as she got up. She walked over to the kitchenette, and made the tea. She made an extra cup for Lin, reasoning that if he didn't want it she could drink it. She gave Naru his tea, which he took silently. He could at least say thanks. It's one word. Both him and Lin are familiar with one word comments, so why is 'thanks' so hard? Mai silently grumbled to herself. She brought the tea to Lin, who took it with the same enthusiasm Naru had. Then she went back to filing, wishing she could make more tea instead.
When 30 minutes later the phone rang, Mai could have jumped for joy. Her phone had a missed call, which was Haruhi. Mai wondered what she had wanted as she picked up the phone.
"Shibuya Psychic Research, Mai Taniyama speaking. How may I help you?" She asked, hoping it was a case.
"Hello Ms. Taniyama. I am Kyoya Otori, Vice President of the Ouran High School Host Club, and I believe we have a case for your company." A cool and professional voice drifted over the line.
"This is Shibuya Kazuya, President of Shibuya Psychic Research. May I ask what the problem is?" Naru asked, in an equally cool and professional voice. Thinking about who would freeze the other first, Mai hung up the phone, really wishing she could call Haruhi. At least she thought she knew what the phone call was about.
So that was Kyoya Otori. Haruhi made all of the Host Club sound like a handful, and I don't think I had very flattering descriptions of the SPR team either, Mai thought. I wonder how that's going to affect how we treat everyone on the case, Mai giggled, thinking it would be fun to find out.
"Mai! Please call our usual people, and have them meet tomorrow at 8:00 AM. Don't forget to alert your school, and to get the make-up work schedule figured out. See you bright and early, and please try not to be as late as usual." Naru said, walking out of his office.
Mai would have told him about Haruhi, but Naru walked back inside and didn't really attempt to listen to her. Just once she wished he would notice her.
...
Okay, so I made up the term psychic attack, and have no idea if that's actually a real term, or if that's the right term for it. Let's just say for story purposes that it is. I have a feeling you can deal. And can people leave reviews as to how the heck Kyoya's name is spelled? Because there are 5 or 6 variations. And while you're at it, say stuff about the story too.
