DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GHOST HUNT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

General POV:

Mai Taniyama had just finished up her shift as SPR and was organizing one last file before she could leave. She had just put the file away and got her coat on when the voice of her handsome yet completely narcisistic boss carried into the room. "Mai! Tea!"

Rolling her eyes, she took off her coat and stomped into the kitchen with her purse draped over her arm. As she put the tea on to boil, she pulled out her phone to check her text messages. She had just one from Bou san.

Let Naru know I won't be able to help with any clients

tomorrow because my band has a gig.

3 Bou

Smiling and shaking her head, she put away her phone and sat her purse on the counter so she could finish making the tea. Sitting the teacup on a silver tray along with a sandwhich, she carried it to her boss's office and slid the door open with her foot. "Here's your tea Naru." She sighed. "I also brought you a sandwhich. Also, Bou san says he's not going to be able to make it in tomorrow because of a gig."

"I'm not hungry." He stated without looking up from whatever book he was reading and ignoring what she had told him about Bou san.

She frowned. "You havn't left your office once all day. You've got to be at least a little hungry. Just try eating a little bit."

He finally looked up from his book and stared her in the eyes. "Fine then. You can go home now."

Not sure if he was really going to eat the sandwhich but not wanting to annoy him further, she bowed her head quickly and left. Pulling on her coat, she left the office and started her eight block walk home.

...Meanwhile...

Naru stared at the tray his young assistant had left on his desk. He reached over and looked under the top piece of bread of the sandwhich. Ham, cheese and a few dill pickles. It did look good. Picking it up, he took a bite and sat it aside. There, he ate a little bit. Taking a sip of tea, he went back to reading his book. By the time he finished the chapter, he realized that he had drank the entire cup of tea and had taken several more bites of the sandwhich.

Frowning, he picked up the tray and carried everything into the kitchen to sit in the sink. He had just walked into the kitchen when he noticed a little black purse with a longish strap sitting on the counter. He sighed. Mai always forgot things like that. Sitting the tray down, he picked up the purse with the intention to sit it on her desk in case she came back.

Sitting it on her desk, he stood there for a second, staring at it. 'What is in it?' he found himself thinking. He scowled then. It was underhanded and childish to snoop through other people's belongings. 'But this is Mai we're talking about. She's my employee and I reserve the right to make sure she isn't carrying anything illegal in her purse.', he reasoned with himself. Sitting in the little swivle chair, he pulled the purse towards him and undid the clasp.

He sweatdropped. What was he doing? He was going through a young woman's purse. For all he knew, she had personal items in there. He blushed which made him more angry since he never blushed. Pausing with his hand resting on the top of the purse, he took a deep breath and flipped the lid back. He blinked and stared inside for a long time. A cellphone, a can of what looked like mace, a set of keys, a pen and a little green, sparkley notebook. Notebook...

He went against his better judgement and pulled out the notebook, sitting it in front of him. Should he? 'She's my employee. I've read in articles that this type of thing is routine for employers. Sometimes employees would write down things they planned to do such as bring a weapon to work.', he reasoned again, almost forgetting all together that Mai wasn't even remotely the type of person to do that.

He took a deep, shakey breath and opened the notebook to the first page. It was a dayplanner. It said random things like pick up dry cleaning or new case today. Feeling foolish, he picked it up by its binding with the intent to put it away. However, something caught his eye. something was sticking out of one of the pages. He shook the notebook and the thing fell out. He would have blanched if it were normal for him to show emotion. It was a picture of himself. The background of the photo was him standing in front of the SPR van and he wasn't looking at the camera so he guessed that she had taken it without his knowledge. He certainly didn't remember telling her she could take his picture.

What confused him even more was the warm feeling he felt in his chest at the fact that she carried a picture of him around. 'Why, though?' was his mental question. Why was she carrying his picture and why did he feel so happy about it? He nearly jumped out of his skin when Lin rounded the corner that led to his office.

"Naru, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Taniyama san was seen running by my office window just now. Unless you want to explain what you're doing, I suggest you put that away." The older Chinese man said softly.

Naru wanted to hit Lin for wearing such a strange smirk but he had bigger problems at the moment. Shoving the notebook back into the bag, he shut it and darted for his office as Lin walked back into his. He could hear Mai running up the stairs that led to SPR's office.

...MEANWHILE...

'NonoNO! I cannot believe I left my purse here! That picture was in it! If Naru knew I was using it as a bookmark, I'd die! I'd just die!' Mai thought. 'Relax Mai, he's not going to go through your purse. He's got too much pride to be caught doing something like that.'

She slammed the door open and found her purse sitting innocently on her desk. She blinked, confused. She could've sworn she left it in the kitchen on the counter. Shrugging, she picked it up and drapped it over her shoulder. Before she could turn around, Naru's office door slid open and he peeked his torso out the door.

"What are you doing back Mai?" He asked in his usual monotone voice. If she judged by his voice, she'd think he had been in his office the whole time and had nothing to worry about. Judging his eyes, she saw something else. Was it...humor?

"I forgot my purse...did you like the sandwhich?" She asked, not sure what else to say. She would leave but she had this overwhelming feeling when Naru put his eyes on her that made her unable to move. It had been this way for a while. The first time it happened a month ago, she assumed she was scared of him. Now she knew differently. She was crushing on her handsome, pushy, selfish narcisistic boss and she was crushing bad.

"Yes, it was fine." he admited, still giving her that strange look.

"Do you need me to clean the dishes?" She asked, somehow breaking away from his gaze and walking towards his office.

"Yes, they're already in the kitchen sink." He said and she deviated from her path to his office and went into the kitchen without looking his way. 'So Naru left his office to put his dishes in the sink', she thought. So if she remembered correctly and her purse had indeed been in the kitchen, that meant Naru had moved it. So was it possible he also looked inside it? He didn't show any traces of guilt. But she did see almost unmistakable humor in his eyes...

After she washed the dishes and put them away, she put her purse back on her shoulder and pulled her rolled up coat sleeves back down. 'Why is this still bugging me?' She complained, rounding the corner back into the main reception room. To her suprise, Naru was still outside of his office. The door to it was slid back and he was leaning on the wall, reading the same book from earlier.

"I'm going home now." Mai said before scurrying past him.

"Wait." Naru said softly but firmly and Mai froze in place, still facing the door. "By any chance do you have a bookmark I can borrow?"

She turned around with wide eyes, almost missing the smirk that briefly graced Naru's features. "No. I don't." She stuttered before trying to leave again.

"Are you sure?" Naru asked, walking towards her desk. "I see some kind of paper on your desk right there? Can I use it?" She stared in horror as she caught sight the picture of Naru laying face down on her desk. She could just barely make out the date scrawled on the back of the photo in blue ink.

"Wait!" She yelled before dashing to her desk and snatching up the photo. She stood in front of her boss with wide, panicked eyes until something hit her like a ton of bricks. "You looked..." She whispered, almost too low for him to hear.

"Beg your pardon?" Now the smirk was prominant on his face.

"You looked! You got in my purse didn't you!" Mai screamed, feeling an intense urge to hit something. That shocked her more than the fact Naru had gone through her purse. Mai wasn't violent at all.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." He shrugged, his poker face back in place.

"Don't lie to me! I know you did! My purse was in the kitchen and when I got back, it was all the way in here! You looked, you looked, you looked!" She screamed and stomped her foot. Then she blushed. Wow, she was acting really childish over this.

"For a student in high school you're very imature sometimes." He stated, crossing his arms. "As your boss, I reserve the right to do things like that. It's in the guidelines. I have to do semi annual checks."

"But through my purse? I may not know much about those kind of things but I know that I'm supposed to at least recieve some kind of notice!" she screamed.

Naru's emotionless face wavered for a second before locking back in place. "I'm your boss. I can do what I want. What I want to know is why a picture of me is tucked between the pages of your dayplanner."

And that was all it took to seriously set her off. Mai was hurt and humiliated by the fact Naru had gone through her purse and she was furious that he didn't seem to be sorry about it. Walking quietly up to him, she swung her hand back and let it fly forward, making direct contact with the side of Naru's face. Naru stared in the direction her hand had knocked his face in complete shock and before another word could be said, Mai ran. Ran from the office and straight home, not looking back once.
