Prank Wars

Possession, Pink and Naru Part 2

What this strange thing was, was Naru. Of course Naru didn't fit into the category of strange very well most of the time, this seemed to be one of the rare occasions in which he did. He was like the mad hatter with a manic grin plastered across his usually stoic face as his eyes glistened with an uncharacteristic mischief. But that wasn't the end of the strange part of it. Which, considering it was Naru - who was actually smiling and jumping about the room like a sugar high toddler - was definitely pushing an invisible boundary.

She sighed to herself as she cast her eyes away from her odd boss to stare at Yasuhara who had a twinkle in his eye that showed he was up to no good.

"It's going to be a long day..." She moaned for the millionth time, shivering as a cold wind blew past. Everyone was currently gathered around the pool after breakfast and somehow, all her clothes magically disappeared, only to be replaced by a skimpy, red bikini set and shorts to match.

"What's wrong Mai? You should be having fun!" Someone sang, making her turned before she screeched and fell off her lounge chair she had been musing on. Naru stared down at her win a manic grin on his face, his blue eyes standing out against his pale skin and dark blue t-shirt and black swim trunks. She blushed before averting her eyes from his person, realising he would never smile, nor dress in that fashion if he was himself. (or would he?)

"Uh... I am having fun... It's just that..." She whispered, praying to any god that cared to listen that he would move away from her. This was completely Yasu's fault and she glare at the man in question as she remembered the happenings of the day prior.

Flash Back

By the time Monk pulled up to the villa it was a little past seven and the sun was struggling to stay above the horizon. The sunset reflected off the ocean over the cliff causing her to gasp as she got out of the car. The slight sickening feeling she had been experiencing during the car ride momentarily forgotten.

"If you don't close your mouth soon Mai, you'll catch flies." Naru stated, stepping out of the dark SUV behind her, pausing before fixing his sentence to suit the time of day, "Or moths."

She glared at her long time crush before huffing, walking up the footpath to the front door after grabbing her bag from Monk. Before she could knock however, the front door was thrown open and a pink-haired woman jumped out, catching the Mai by surprise and sending them both to the soft grass.

"Mai! You're finally here!" The older women cheered loudly, sitting up and off the poor girl who lay dazed on the ground. "Oh, dear. I'm sorry. Here, let me help you up."

With that said, Madoka stood and with unknown strength, pulled Mai off the ground, causing the already dizzy girl to wobble before someone placed their hand on her back to steady her. Turning to thank the person, she gasped as she saw Naru by her side, his hand not leaving her back even when he turned to Madoka.

"Evening, Madoka. Are my parents here?" He asked, wrapping his arm around Mai's waist and causing her to blush.

'Why is he holding me?' She thought as she was led inside.

"Yes, yes. Just go left at the first doorway to the sitting room. They've been waiting for you." She sang, skipping past them and disappearing into the dark corridor.

"Naru?" Mai whispered, grabbing his suit jacket with her free hand.

"What is it Mai?" He asked her, realising that she was shaking lightly. "If you're nervous about meeting my parents, you shouldn't be."

The kind tone in his voice shocked her enough that she numbly walked into a room and only realised it when she heard someone call her name. Looking away from the handsome, oddly acting man beside her, she came face to face with the SPR family as well as Naru mother and father.
