Mai stared out the water stained window, watching the rain pelt heavily against the ground. She shivered in fear at the storm, don't get her wrong, she loved the rain, however absolutely hates the thunder.

"Mai!" She heard Naru call her from in his office.

She stood and walked to the office door and knocked before she entered. "Yes?" She asked peeking around the door.

"Tea." Was all he said without looking up at her.

She frowned at him but never the less went and made him his precious drink. Upon returning she knocked and entered placing his tea on the desk. There was a sudden flash of light outside Naru's window followed by deep, earth trembling, rumble of thunder.

Fear raced up and down her spine, she shrieked ducking down in front of his desk. Naru looked up not seeing but hearing her whimper as more thunder rumbled.

"Mai." He called to her but she didn't respond. He pinched the bridge of his nose before standing to look at her while she had her eyes tightly closed and hands over her ears.

He walked to her and tapped her shoulder making her focus on him, "what are you doing Mai?" He asked her.

She sat there with a scared look on her face, a ghostly pale color. "I hate the thunder..." she whispered to him.

"Mai how can you be scared of something so trivial? We deal with spirits and yet you're scared of the sound of thunder?" He said looking at her with a face that told her she was being ridiculous.

"It's not trivial... there are plenty of people who get scared of thunder." Mai said angrily.

Naru smirked, "and here I thought you had more brain cells than the average person, hmmm guess I was wrong." He said turning away from her.

Mai stood quickly, "well excuse me!" She yelled.

There was another flash of lightning and more thunder boomed, shaking the room. Again Mai yelped jumping towards Naru gripping the back of his shirt shaking.

Naru sighed and turned to face her, she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. He groaned and looked away not want to see her cry, "okay Mai... you're going to conquer that fear of yours." He told her.

"How?" She asked him hiccuping.

"You will see." He stated.

He backed up and went back to his desk, "Now I need to get back to work, so do you."

"But-!" Mai started but stopped.

"But what?" He asked looking at her.

She faintly blushed, "can I stay here with you?" She asked him shyly shifting under his stare.

"Why?"

Her shoulders slumped, "nevermind..." she mumbled sadly turning slowly walking to the door.

"I suppose it will be fine as long as you finish your work, and get more tea." He told her.

She smiled brightly rushing out to finish the last of her stuff and make him more tea. Once done she went into his office leaning her back against his desk sitting next to him. She didn't want to bother him so she just looked outside the window. 'Conquer the fear of thunderstorms? Hmmm that would be great but how?' She thought.

The rest of that day passed in a flash and Lin dropped her off at home seeing as she probably wouldn't have been able to make it. And just as fast, the next day came, with bright blue sky's and sun.

Everything was peaceful and Mai smiled looking outside the window at the beautiful day. Suddenly the sound of thunder filled the room and she shrieked ducking down. After a few seconds she looked out the window at the bright blue sky.

Her face contorted into confusion and she stood walking to the door walking outside, 'what the heck was that? Am I just imagining things?' She thought shaking her head walking back in the building continuing her work.

After a few hours Mai stretched, when again the sound of booming thunder filled the room making her flinch in fear. Her head whipped back to the window but it was still bright outside, no rain nor clouds.

"Okay no... I'm not imagining things... I really heard thunder..." she said standing walking to Naru's door. She knocked waiting for the signal to enter.

"Come in."

"Naru?" She called to him.

He looked at her passively, "what Mai?"

"Are you hearing any... um thunder?" She asked feeling slightly crazy.

"No?" He stated confused.

"What? How can you not have heard that?! It's was so loud!" Yelled shocked.

"Mai I didn't hear anything, I think your fear of it is causing you to hear things. Besides there's no storm so there's no way for thunder to occur without the lightning." He told her looking back down at his work.

"Oh..." she said leaving the room. Naru smirked, she was going to get used to it one way or another.

After leaving Naru's office heading straight to Lin's asking him the same stuff but again got a no. She sat in her desk feeling like she was crazy, when thunder filled the room again. She hopped out of her chair running to Naru's office.

"Okay you had to have heard that now!" She yelled at him.

"Heard what Mai? If you have nothing important or intelligence to tell me leave." He ordered.

'What the hell! I know that I'm hearing it I'm not crazy!' She thought.

This kept happening all day, Mai didn't even have time to be scared of thunder, all she could think was that she was going absolutely crazy and that thunder was all in her head. Eventually she stopped flinching at it, when she left work Naru and Lin looked at her strangely due to the way she look but never said anything.

"Did you really have to do this to her?" Lin asked him.

"It's was for her own good, for a few more days she will be going crazy over thunder to get over it all." Naru said getting in the van with Lin. Lin could only shake his head at the teen, and think of poor Mai.

Let's just say... she really did get over thunder, and really fast too.
