A/N: I have been writing this ever since that 1st day of school so it's about time I typed it for you! Please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not and will NEVER own 'Ghost Hunt'. (Ain't that a shame...) And I don't own my German teacher (no matter how odd that sounded.) But I do own that new character! hehe!
High School: Too good to let go
'I wish I was home!' Mai glared at the clock, willing it to go faster. Study hall was not her favorite class. Mai sighed. 'If I was Naru, then maybe I could use my intelligence to make the clock go faster. Mai giggled at the thought. 'Well at least he doesn't go to my high school. Wait... he doesn't go to school at all!'
RING
Mai happily got up and walked to her foreign language class. German. 'Why do I have an English class and a foreign language class?!' Mai sat, quite confused, in her assigned seat in the back of class.
"Guten tag! Let's begin by opening our books to page..." Mai tuned out the teacher and turned to gaze out the window. "I gotta get outta here..." Mai accidentally said aloud.
"Excuse me? Ms. Taniyama did you say something?" The teacher looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, n-no! Erm, I mean, noin!" Mai quickly added in the German word for 'no' hoping to throw her teacher off.
"Hmm. Ja, ich sehen. Yes, I see." Mai stared at the back of her teacher as she walked away in disbelief. 'She bought that? (sigh) Right now, I'd rather be working for Naru than being here!'
"Excuse me? Is this German I?" A voice from the overhead speaker rang out across the classroom.
"Yes, it is. Can I help you?"
"Yes ma'am. I do believe we have a phone call for a Ms. Mai Taniyama. Is she in your class now, Mrs. Berutti?" The voice politely asked.
The teacher turned and looked at Mai excusing her from class. Mumbling a thanks and goodbye, Mai rushed out the door.
'Who in the world is that? Maybe Bou-san just wanted to play hooky with me?' Mai walked swiftly to the main office. She tapped on the glass window.
"Yeah, whaddya want?" The secretary looked up from her nail file.
"I'm Mai Taniyama. I was told there was a phone call for me?" Mai shyly questioned. The secretary looked her up and down.
"All right, here." She gave Mai the phone then quickly went back to filing her nails. Mai grabbed the phone and answered.
"Hello?"
"You need to leave. Get your stuff and come to the office."
Naru's demanding voice surprised Mai to no end. "What? Now? W-why?" But Naru had already hung up.
'Damn him! No 'Hey idiot.' or 'Bye lazy'. Ugh I think I'm gonna kill him!' Mai handed back the phone with a disgusted look on her face. Sighing, she thought up a 'convincing' lie.
"Here. Uh, I need to leave. I have to go to work, so that I can afford this month's nail file and shampoo."
"Oh, of course! Go on! I'll pull some strings and get you out. Oh and the supermarket down the street is really cheap!" The secretary winked and shooed Mai out.
"Ok, thanks." Mai was laughing in her head, but trying to sound grateful. She rushed to work
------------------------
"Mai, tea." Naru's voice was like a slap in the face for Mai when she stepped into SPR door.
"Hello to you too." Mai muttered. She mumbled a hello at Lin's closed door and then walked into the small kitchen.
"Naru, here's you tea." Mai set the cup down and paused a little. She was half expecting him to say something and half expecting him to be silent. Mai sighed. 'Of course he wouldn't say anything. He's Naru!' Mai turned around missing the smirk on Naru's face.
"Hey Lin-san? Does Naru do anything in there? He's always on the computer. For all we know he could've been playing solitaire!" Mai complained sitting exhaustedly on the couch.
"Wasn't your purpose here to work? If I was playing solitaire then I wouldn't have called you here to work." Naru lamented, standing in the doorway to his office.
'Uh, oh. I am in trouble.' Mai winced at his cold words. "You're right. Sorry." Mai was too exhausted to argue a pointless argument. He was right. Naru raised an eyebrow.
'I'm right? That's it? None of your cute little arguments? Wait did I say 'cute'? Dammit! I'm going soft.' Naru was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that his face was showing emotion. Confusion was plain on his face and Mai stared.
'What is he thinking?' Mai hoped he wasn't thinking anything 'dirty'. But then it was Naru; 'Mr. I'm-so-great' wouldn't think anything like that.
'You love Mai.'
'No, I don't!'
'Aww, look at her. I just know you want to see her--'
'Shut up!'
'-- without a --'
'Don't you dare!'
'-- shirt!'
"Liar! There is no away I want to see Mai without her shirt!" Naru shouted for everyone to hear.
"E-Excuse me? W-Wha-What did you s-say?" Mai blushed tomato red.
"Nothing." Naru slammed the door behind him. 'Oops.' The arguing voice was back.
---------
"Hey Lin-san? Did he actually say what I thought he said?" Mai turned around expecting to see the expressionless man standing but instead found him sitting holding back laughter.
"Ahem. Yes, Taniyama-san, I believe he did." Lin snickered at Naru's door.
"Quit it!" Naru's angry voice came from nowhere.
"Is there something wrong with him?" Mai sincerely asked.
"I don't know." Lin replied. 'You never know with love.'
------------Next day------------
"Mai, tea." Naru glared at the poor girl as she dragged her book bag through the SPR door.
"Yeah, yeah. Now shut it." Mai glared right back. Today was not her day. First her locker broke so she had to move to a new one, making her very late to class. Then she discovered that she had forgotten her homework at home. The guy her best friend like asked her out. Even though she turned him down, her best friends was calling her a boy stealer. Naru's attitude was the last thing she needed now.
Naru instantly knew that she was having a bad day so he tried to be nice and give her only 3/4ths of the actual work that need to be done, but she glared at him anyway.
'That must have been one bad day.' He thought as he walked back into his office, feeling the eyes that were glaring daggers into his back.
'He doesn't even care that I had the worst day out of all the bad days in the world!' Mai thought at his retreating form. 'Wait. I thought I saw this stack of papers yesterday. Wasn't it taller? Hey, maybe he does care...' Mai lightly leafed through the papers, turning slightly.
"Mai, tea!" Naru's voice carried through the closed door, but Mai was sure she heard the smirk in his voice.
'On second thought, maybe not! Jerk...' Mai stomped into the kitchen to prepare the tea.
------------At school: Next day------------
"Please go faster!" Mai whispered to the science clock. "Yes! Lunchtime, here I come!" Mai shouted as the bell rang.
"Hold it! Before you go off and fill your stomachs with who-knows-what, we have a new student, Yami Suke." A handsome young man stepped into the room and smiled a dazzling smile.
'Wow he's hot! But not as hot as Naru... NO! BAD BRAIN! Don't think things like that!' Mai blushed to her textbook.
"Taniyama-san, because you are so full of 'pep', why don't you show Suke-san around?" Mai teacher sneered at the word 'pep'.
"Yes, of course sir." Mai stared him straight in the eye. Working with Naru helped her become intimidating.
"Er, yes, well than, off you go!" He shrank under Mai stare.
"Yay! Let's go Suke-san!" Mai smiled brightly at the new boy. He smiled back.
"Sure, but you can call me 'Yami-kun' if you'd like. And may I call you Mai-chan?" Yami asked politely.
"Ok! Let's go than Yami-kun!" Mai smiled and ran towards the lunchroom. Yami paused for a moment and then walked after her.
'She seems like a good prey...'
