"Why are you being so quiet Mai?" asked Naru with the grin still on his face.
"What do you mean Naru? I'm not being quiet. Am I?"
"Yes, you are now what is wrong?"
"I can't, I can't tell him why I'm acting like this" Mai thought to herself.
"Nothing is wrong Naru. Seriously, I am fine" Mai said with a fake smile spreading across her face.
Just then Naru pushed her up against the wall and held her there. He looked deep into her eyes as if searching for the answer she would not tell him. Her breathing then became heavy as a thin blush appeared on her cheeks. Her eyes stared back into his. He grinned at her and started to move closer to her face. When he became only inches apart she held her breath.
"Naru…" was all she could say.
His grin got wider as if he was about to laugh. He then leaned next to ear and whispered to her softly.
"You are a terrible lair. You know that right?"
Her eyes became wide and her whole body went stiff. He pulled away slowly and looked at her once again.
"I'm not lying Naru."
His head then fell down allowing his dark black bangs to cover his eyes. He then stood up and started walking away.
"Come Mai we better get going. And don't think I'm giving up just yet."
Mai became startled by this remark just looked at him. She then pulled herself off the wall and started after Naru. They walked in complete silence. After about an hour of no one saying anything, Mai couldn't take it anymore."
"SAY SOMETHING! I can't take it when you don't talk to me! Do you really want to know what has been bothering me so much?! Do you?!?!"
Naru stopped walking and looked at her surprised by her sudden outburst. Not knowing how to react to this he just looked at her.
"You like Masako, don't you?" Mai asked in a quiet and hurt voice.
Naru remained silent to this not knowing how to respond. He turned to look at Mia to see if this was some kind of joke. But, from the look on her face he could tell that it wasn't.
"Is this what has been bothering her?" Naru thought to himself.
"ANSWER me Naru! Do you like Masako? Please just tell me."
"Mai why are you asking me this?"
"Because it seems like you always give her extra or special treatment. I mean I have or all most have gotten hurt so many times and you were never concerned. But almost every time Masako faints or gets hurt. You're always by her side. I mean I wouldn't blame you if you did like her. After all she is beautiful, talented, has amazing powers, and is closer to your age."
Naru remained silent listening very closely to everything Mai said. Making sure he didn't miss a single word.
"Who are you comparing Ms. Hara to Mai?" was all he could ask.
"Well I don't know, I guess myself."
His eyes widened by her saying this. He stood there staring at Mai. Trying to figure out why she was acting like this. He just didn't understand it. He looked away for a moment. When he looked back he saw a slight blush on Mai's face and when he looked down she was playing with her fingers, as if she was nervous.
"Let's go Mai. We need to finish what we were doing before it gets too late."
"Naru please answer me. I need to know." He ignored her and kept walking. She felt as if something was ripped out of her. She pushed it to the side and followed after him. It was clear that he wasn't going to give her an answer cause what she said was true.
"I can't tell her that I don't because then she might find out. And if she does I don't know how well it will go. I mean she might feel…NO! No, Naru she doesn't don't even go there." They then headed on into the station to finish their part of the job.
Aya-chan followed Lin and Yasuhara down the hallway. Yasuhara had a bandage on his head, no doubt from that stupid ghost she'd heard. Truthfully, she'd always been able to see them but it had stopped a year ago so why had it come back now? She was still lost in thought when Lin stopped, causing her to run into him. Yasuhara stifled his laughter and helped her up.
She blushed. "Sorry Lin-san."
Lin looked down at her, his glasses slipping to the tip of his nose. He shrugged. "Next time pay attention."
She blushed again and remembered her niece. "Hold on, I need to make a phone call." She pulled out her phone and dialed her sister's number. After arguing for a while she settled the problem and proceeded to call her brother. She looked down at her shoes while she waited for her brother to pick up. She felt a gentle tug on her arm and she followed it willingly. Her brother picked up on the third ring and she told him where to pick up Kehlee. "Thank you. I'm so glad you were free." She thanked him and hung up. The pull stopped when she arrived at the train tracks. She gasped and tried to turn around but it was too late. She could feel the cold darkness come over slowly she grabbed the bench and braced herself for the worst.
The darkness was worse this time. It was colder. A slim sliver of light penetrated it and an emaciated figure of a girl stood in front of her.
"You've been a bad girl." She rasped.
Monk-san hoisted the last piece of equipment out of the car. He grumbled to himself about taking them inside. Why couldn't Naru or Lin do it? Masako, of course, was no help. She sat politely on one of the station's many benches.
"Sorry I am not of much use. It is much too hot."
Monk-san sat down next to her but he didn't answer. He was worried about Aya-chan, if anything happened to her....He shook the idea out of his head. Lin and Yasuhara had better take care of her.
He and Mai walked in silence, wondering about what Mai had told him. How could she even think that he and Masako.... Yes, Masako was pretty, but he prefered brains. He smiled, that meant Mai was jealous.
"Mai?"
She stopped, hoping for an answer. "Yes?"
"Tea."
She frowned. "Of course."
She left the room and Naru sat down on one of the chairs. He started to pick up the remaining file on the desk when he heard a rasping voice in his head. "You've been a bad girl."
"What the-" He looked around the room only to find the voice coming from inside his head. Mai walked in and set down his tea. He had to take a chance. "Did you just call me a bad girl?"
She was in mid-sip and she spewed her drink all over him. "I'm going to take that as a no."
"Sorry, but that's not really a question to ask someone in the middle of sip." She ran into the next room and came back with some napkins. She took some napkins and started to clean his shirt.
"Um, Mai?"
"Yes Naru?"
"I think that I'm able to clean myself."
She blushed and handed him the napkins. Just then Lin slammed open the door.
"Naru have you seen Shay-san?"
Naru shook his head. "No why?"
"She's gone." Yasuhara answered.
"She probably got scared and left." Naru said in his usual clipped time.
Mai felt strange, she knew something was wrong, like she had with Yasuhara.
"She wouldn't do that. Did you check the train tracks Lin?"
Lin stared at her for a second. "You didn't fall asleep again did you?"
When she was going to protest against it when Monk-san and Masako walked in. Monk-san looked exhausted while Masako looked rested. She had probably made him do all the work.
"What's wrong?" Monk-san looked back and forth between Lin and Mai.
"You're friend is gone." Lin said flatly.
Monk-san didn't even ask when she went missing. He just ran outside of base and bolted for the tracks.
"Lin. Follow him." Naru said.
Lin nodded and followed him. When he caught up he found Monk-san crouched over a limp form. For some reason Lin wanted to run over and make sure she was alright, to hold her. He frowned and stayed where he was. He finally walked over to Monk-san. He was trembling and still debating over whether or not she actually wanted to see her lifeless. Lin, not wanting to wait anymore, turned her over and took her pulse. She was fine.
"She's alive." He said, somewhat relieved. "She must've-"
Aya's eyes flickered open and she coughed a lot and sat up. "I hate hearing what ghosts have to say. Why can't they just stay dead?" She looked at Lin, then at Monk-san and back at the tracks. "I passed out again didn't I?
Lin snorted while Monk-san hugged Aya-chan closely. "I'm so glad you're okay."
She hugged him back for a minute then released him. "The ghost said some things."
Lin stared at them, obviously they were together. There wasn't another explanation. "What kinds of things?"
She smiled at him weakly. Even that was beautiful. "She said 'you've been a bad girl and that I would pay for what I'd done.'"
Lin nodded and helped her up. "I'll be sure to tell Naru that but in the mean time maybe you should go home."
She shook her head. "It's not like I have anywhere else to go. Besides, I'm in this too now." She jutted out her chin in defiance. Lin sighed, he knew that look in her eyes. Naru got it whenever he was determined to do something.
"Very well but next time be more careful. Whenever you feel-"
"The darkness."
"The what?"
She sighed and wouldn't meet Monk-san's prying eyes. "I called it the darkness when I had it. It went away a year ago."
Monk-san grabbed her arm. "Why didn't you tell me this?"
Lin interrupted. "Whenever you feel the darkness coming on, call out so we know."
She nodded, she looked exhausted. "She probably got scared and left. Nothing more." She gasped and looked around the room. She grabbed Lin's hand but the darkness didn't come. She could hear someone's thoughts. Why did that voice seem so familiar?
