We don't own Ghost Hunt!


Mai just stared at Naru knowing fully well what the 'solution' was. 'Well...it's not like we haven't seen each other naked before...but I guess it really would be weird if we do that together...'

"Said no-one would go for it." Naru informed as he watched her face go through several different thoughts.

"What?"

"Your face, you obviously don't like the solution, which I predicted you wouldn't, so I guess you'll just have to wait."

"Don't you put the blame on me! Are you telling me you wouldn't mind?!"

"I neither agree nor disagree, that decision lies with you. I'm just trying to be adult about it."

"If you're being an adult you'd have an opinion about it..." She grumbled. "Anyways, I could've already been out the freaking shower by now!" Mai pushed the door open making Naru stumble a bit. "I'm taking one whether you like it or not."

"No, because I'm showering...unless you're agreeing to the solution." Naru argued as he tried to push her back out the door.

Mai clenched her teeth. "You what?!" She pushed the door back on him and stepped into the bathroom. "I don't care! It's one stupid time and it's not like we have anything to hide!" Despite her words, she had a tint of pink on her cheeks.

"So you're agreeing then?" Naru asked. Mai glared and looked away. Naru took that as a yes. He opened the door wider so she could enter. She walked in and then set her clothes she was holding down on the counter. They both stared at each other for a moment. 'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea...' Mai mentally shook her head. 'No! I'm going to do it, I've already decided and I'm sticking to it!' Naru was feeling a little awkward about things too. For once in his life he didn't know what to do in a situation like this. It was obvious Mai noticed his hesitancy as she immediately put her hands on her hips and frowned at him.

"What, finally decided you didn't want to do it or something?" Naru didn't know what to say in response. Mai huffed waiting for her answer. Naru opened and closed his mouth a few times but nothing came out. An idea came to Mai and she smirked a little. "Why don't you go back to the bedroom and think about it?"

Naru's expression hardened. "Not a chance." He declared firmly as he gripped the hem of his top to show that he was willing to go through with this after all.

"Fine." Mai said.

"Fine." Naru agreed. And so Naru took off his shirt and shorts and Mai took off her underwear. Naru immediately climbed in the shower after he had stripped. He put the water on and got it to the temperature he wanted. He was just enjoying the feel of the water when Mai joined him. It was a good thing Naru's shower wasn't small or it'd just be a whole new level of awkward.

He turned to face her. "Huh, I didn't realize I was that...'blessed'." He mused out loud as he studied the body that should belong to him.

Mai pursed her lips and glared at him. "Narcissist."

"It's not like you're not admiring your breasts." Naru grumbled. "Don't think I didn't notice, my eyes are up here!"

"W-whatever! Just let's hurry up!"

"Embarrassed about something?"

"N-no..." She denied as she moved and got under the water.

"Then why are you stuttering?"

"Because I was cold." She answered quickly.

"In a hot shower? Try again Mai."

"W-well it was cold over there!" She began to let her hair get soaked. Naru just shook his head at her.

Mai decided to ignore him and focus on her task. She reached out to grab some shampoo but Naru stopped her. "What are you doing?!" Mai demanded to know as she glared at Naru.

"What are you doing?" He mimicked. "Do you even know what you were getting?"

"Yeah, shampoo." She answered.

"No, you're getting conditioner." Naru reached around Mai and grabbed a bottle of shampoo and handed it to her. "Here. Now move, it's my turn." Instead of putting shampoo on her own hair Mai poured some on Naru's head and started to gently rub it in. "Mai-what are you doing?!"

"Shampooing your hair." Mai replied nonchalantly.

"I can see that, I meant why."

Mai shrugged as she continued. "Just felt like it."

"Fine then." Naru grabbed the shampoo bottle and poured it on Mai's head.

"What are you doing?!" Mai screeched.

Naru put his hands in her hair and started rubbing it. "Washing your hair...well, technically my hair."

What Naru hadn't noticed was how closely their bodies were pressing against each other due to their height difference, or if he did he did a damn good job of hiding it. Mai, however, was taking full notice of it and wishing that she couldn't notice their closeness. She stopped rubbing in the shampoo on Naru's hair, claiming it was done, and tried her best to keep her blush down. Naru still continued on with what he was doing all the same. Not long after though he was done too. By this time Mai had to turn away from him however as the 'problem' had returned full force. 'Why now?!'

"Is there something wrong Mai?" Naru asked. Mai hesitated. She really didn't know what or how to answer. "Mai?"

"Everything's fine Naru." She said slightly gruffly, trying to get rid of the images flooding through her mind, urging her to do all kinds of things to Naru. Naru just lifted an eyebrow. Obviously Mai couldn't see that so he reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. She stiffened under his touch. Naru frowned but otherwise didn't move. 'I need to finish and leave!' Mai thought. Naru started gently tugging on her shoulder, trying to get her to face him. But Mai wouldn't budge.

"Please Naru, just finish up and leave." She requested. Naru frowned. 'What's wrong with her?' He tried to peer around her to get a look at her face. He noticed that her eyes were closed. Tightly.

He just happened to look downwards at that moment and a rush of understanding hit him. "Mai?" He asked in a half sly, half amused tone. Mai snapped her eyes open at the sound of the closeness and sly-amused tone of Naru's voice. A blush crept over her entire body and her hands quickly moved to cover the problem. Naru just smirked even more. Mai glared at him and growled.

"Do I make you uncomfortable Mai?"

"This situation is." Mai grumbled.

"You're the one who agreed to it."

"Yeah, but that's before there were embarrassing reactions!" Naru just continued to stare and smirk at her. "Shut up!" Mai snapped.

"I haven't said anything Mai."

"You don't have to, your smirk says everything you want to say."

"And what am I wanting to say?"

"You want to make fun of me for this...'problem'." Mai stated sullenly.

Naru had to turn his head slightly to hide his ever-growing smirk. "Come on Mai, let's finish." He said as he picked up the body wash soap.

"You are enjoying this way too much." Mai said as she kept her back to him.

"The shower or you having the 'problem'?" He asked cunningly. She turned slightly and glared at him. Naru wasn't affected by the glare though, he just offered her the soap. Mai snatched it from him before turning away from him again. "Don't be mad at me Mai."

"Why not? You're poking fun of what is already a bad situation and making it worse!"

"It isn't my fault." Naru declared as he began washing.

"Then whose fault is it because it sure as hell isn't mine?!" Mai demanded to know.

"It's not my fault that you can't keep your hormones in check." He answered smugly.

"Me?! Why the hell would I react to my own body?! I don't fancy myself unlike you!" Mai raged. Naru glared at her. "Can't take it when you're on the other end can you?"

"Just because your mind doesn't react towards your body doesn't mean my..." Naru trailed off.

"Doesn't mean your…what?" Mai asked.

"The water's getting cold Mai. Finish up." To Mai it sounded like his voice was almost strained.

"No Naru, not until you tell me what you were going to say."

He gave her another glare. "It doesn't mean my body won't react towards yours!" He finished quickly. Mai just blinked at what he had said, trying to figure out whether he was saying what she thought he was or whether one of them had gone crazy. Naru just decided to ignore Mai so he pushed past her to get under the water to rinse the soap off of him and his hair. Mai scrunched her eyes up. The sight of the water cascading over Naru was really, really not helping her. She inwardly groaned.

"Could you just hurry up and finish?" She growled.

Naru turned his head to look at her with an eyebrow raised. "What do you think I'm doing?"

"Making things as bad as possible by taking your sweet time over rinsing yourself." Mai retorted.

"I am not."

"Yes you are."

"No, I'm not."

"I'm not going to argue with you Naru but the 'evidence' speaks for itself."

"'Evidence'?" Naru questioned lamely. Mai just glared at him again. Turning back around to hide his smirk that was forming, Naru continued rinsing off.

"I think...you've rinsed off enough." Mai declared as she tried to gently shove him out of the shower. "It's my turn now."

"No, I'm still showering." Naru said as he shoved back.

"You've had enough time!" She tried to push him out again. He slipped around her and continued what he was doing. Mai puffed out her cheeks, annoyed. She decided the only way would be to carry him out of the bathroom then lock him out. 'You want to play it that way huh, Naru?' She started to advance towards him. Since Naru's back was to her, he didn't see her. Mai grabbed him around his middle and started for the door.

"Mai, what are you doing?!" Mai didn't answer, she just deposited Naru outside the bathroom and then shut and locked the door. "Mai!" Naru pounded on the door. Mai ignored him. 'Maybe I can finally shower in peace.' "Mai, I'm soaking wet and I have no towel or clothes!" He yelled through the door. Mai continued to ignore him and went on with what she was doing. She took her time a little bit to try and forget about her 'problem'.

Meanwhile Naru still pounded and yelled at the door. He kicked the door once more before stopping to think how to get back in there. "Hey Mai," He called out. "I really need to go to the bathroom."

There was a pause before Mai answered. "You can hold it!" She yelled through the door. Naru frustratedly kicked the door again. His eyes shifted to the doorknob. If only he could pick the lock...

"Don't even think about it Naru." Mai called through the door. "Don't even think about picking the lock." Naru stared at the door slightly surprised. 'What the hell?!' "Don't think I don't know how you think Naru." Mai called out again. Now Naru was stunned. 'How is she doing that?! I'm supposed to be the one who knows what she thinks not the other way around!' "I know because I would be thinking the same thing right about now."

Naru glared at the door, imagining it was Mai. "Mai, you should be done by now. I need clothes."

The bathroom door opened and Mai came out in a cloud of steam. "In the time you have spent standing outside this door whining you could've already collected clothes from the bag in the living room and gotten dressed." She pointed out as she moved towards the bedroom to put her towel in the laundry basket.

"And like I said before I can't tell what's what with your clothes."

"So guess or use your own." Mai said frustrated.

"Oh so now you want me to wear my own clothes on you?"

"Naru, what are you on about now? I suggested it because it might make things a little easier to actually be able to get some sleep tonight instead of us keep having petty fights."

"I'm just saying you were the one who was yelling at me earlier today because I was wearing one of my shirts."

"Naru...I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. Decide for yourself what to wear."

Naru sighed exasperatedly and went to go get one of his shirts in his drawers. "That reminds me...Why were you sleeping on the bed with me earlier?" He asked as he buttoned up his shirt.
