Ghost Hunt Fan Fiction ❯ Naru Plus Tea Equals Bathroom? ❯ Naru Plus Tea Equals Bathroom? ( Chapter 1 )

Monday

 

“Mai!”

 

“Tea, yes, yes, I know… jeez” That's all he ever wants…

 

Leaving to pour the tea and fix it just right, she came back and set the mug down on his desk and stayed there.

 

Naru raised his eyebrow as he looked up at Mai.

 

“That is all. You can go.”

 

Mai started to get fidgety.

 

Sighing, Naru asked, “Is there something you need?”

 

“Um, well…”

 

“Spit it out already.”

 

“Why do you keep me around? I'm not a very good psychic and I some how always end up getting me and someone else hurt. Most of the time, you.”

 

After a moment of silence he said, “Someone else and ME hurt, Mai. Not me and someone else hurt. You really should go to class more often.

 

Mai sighed and tapped her finger irately on her other arm.

 

Naru continued, “Is that all?”

 

Mai nodded and stayed where she was. He would answer this question if he ever wanted a moments peace darn it!

 

Another sigh slipped out as he finally answered, “You make good tea. Now go do your work. I don't pay you for chit-chatting.”

 

Mai looked at him suspiciously. Was that really all? No… there must be something else. And she'd be the one to figure it out, or so help her!

 

Right at that moment someone decided to make his grand entrance to the office.

 

“Bou-san!! What are you doing here? I thought you had to go on a trip for a concert!” Mai said finally exiting Naru's personal office room.

 

After a friendly embrace they sat down and began to catch up, both ignoring the irritated boss who once again stated that this was an office, not a café to talk.

“So Mai, haven't lost your mind being cooped up in this building with the Narcissist have you?”

 

Mai shook her head with a grin, “No… but there's something that's been on my mind…”

 

Monk-san raised his eyebrow. “Oh really? And is it about our favorite crush? Hm?”

 

Mai blushed and said, “Well… sort of. You see, I asked Naru why he keeps me as an assistant since I don't help very much—and he said that it was because I make good tea.”

 

He raised his eyebrow. “And you don't believe him? You know, we call him a narcissist for a reason, Mai. Maybe he's just that particular about his tea.”

 

Mai nodded and said, “I know. I've thought of that… but here's the thing that doesn't make sense with that theory. He never goes to the bathroom.”

 

Monk-san looked taken aback. “What do you mean `Never'? I'm sure I've seen him go a few times, Mai. You're just exaggerating.”

 

Mai still looked very serious though, “Yes, sure I've seen him go a few times to. But that's just it. A few. Don't you get it? Every time I turn around, he's asking for more tea and every time I turn around he's already drunk it all, already asking for more. I doesn't make sense. With all the tea he's been drinking, he's got to go way more than a `few times'!! Think about it! Really. Where does all that tea go??”

 

Monk-san got silent as he mulled it over.

 

“Maybe he has a bathroom in his office to use, so he doesn't half to come out.”

 

Mai shook her head.

 

“I've thought about that too, but I have to go in there everyday to give him tea and there aren't any other doors especially to a bathroom.”

 

“Erm… secret passage way?”

 

Mai blanched.

 

Both confused they sat there for a second thinking and glancing every once and a while at Naru's office.

 

“Are you sure, Mai? Maybe you just weren't looking...”

 

Mai sighed as she stood up and dragged the hardheaded `monk' Naru's office door.

 

When they got over there, they both pressed their faces up to the window glass that was in the door so you could see through it, and at Naru.

 

While Naru was busy with paper work, the two moved their eyes all over the room, and low and behold—no door.

 

Whispering, Mai said, “See, TOLD ya!”

 

Replying in the same low voice, he said, “Well, I don't know! I just figured—oh crap!”

 

They both froze as they saw Naru's eyes lock in on them pressing their faces against the small window. A glare and the two were dropping down below the window blushing embarrassed.

 

Mai spoke softly, “I figure if we find out what really is going on, I might get Naru to tell me the real reason for keeping me around.”

 

“You may be right, Mai. But how can we figure out what Naru is really doing? And you know he'll only tell you the truth if you have proof of it.”

 

“That's why I told you. I thought you'd give me an idea.”

 

The Monk shrugged. “Well, I don—wait! Maybe I do… come on.”

 

Monk-san led Mai away from the door and onto the couch, to tell her the plan.

 

Mai nodded and grinned widely.

 

This was going to be perfect. Even Naru wouldn't be able to deny it.

Tuesday

 

“Mai! Tea!”

 

Grinning widely, she pushed open the door and set the tea down.

 

“Having a good day Naru? No? Yes? Hope you like the tea! Have a great day!” Mai said upbeat.

 

Naru raised his eyebrow. “Why are you so happy today? Is there something I should know?”

 

Mai looked surprised. “I'm happy because it's a wonderful sunny day! The sun is shining—the birds are chirping! Life is great! Don't you think so? Yes? Good! Time to go finish some very productive filing!”

 

Naru eyed his worker suspiciously and warily as she bounced out of the room. What was wrong with that girl today? She must have been planning something…

 

Naru shrugged. It didn't matter. She was no match for his awesome genius. Or so he thought.
