Their boys ( ghost hunt ) ( mai and naru )

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Dream...
"Okaa-san! Okaa-san look at me!" A voice. A voice was calling her. A voice that belonged to a boy, a young one at that.

"Okaa-san? Would it be possible for us to go to the library? I just finished this book, which means that I've read all of them." Another voice. It sounded similar to the other one but she knew that there were two different people speaking.

"Mai. Mai! MAI!"

End dream...
"MAI!"

Mai's eyes snapped open at the sound of Ayako's voice. She had made the Miko a spare key about three years back, when they all thought Naru wouldn't return back to Japan after finding his brother's body.

"Geez, Mai." Huffed Ayako, "It's 05:15.You have forty-five minutes to get ready and get to SPR or else Naru will have your hide."

"WHAT?!?!" Mai shot out of bed, the events of the previous night's dream playing over and over again. She rushed through her normal routine, only partially registering the miko's lecture. She had to get to SPR and Ayako was the least of her worries.

Mai hurried out the door, followed closely behind by Ayako. Sliding into the passenger's side of Yuki's black BMW, the brunette finished brushing her hair. As soon as Mai has slammed the door shut, Yuki drove out of the parking lot.

"For the love of all things holy, Mai! Why don't you just get an alarm clock already? I mean, it would honestly make things a lot easier." Tara Smith, better known as Yuki, had been hired by the Davis' in order to keep an eye on Mai after her apartment was broken into two weeks after Naru got back from England. Luckily no one was hurt.

Yuki was 5'3" tall, slender, had short, almost boyish brown hair, and brown eyes. She spoke four different languages, and was working on her language qualifications for two more. Oh yeah, the sassy American could also give Naru a run for his money when it came to glaring. That was a qualification in itself!

Mai huffed irritably at her 'observer'. That's right. Along with making sure no one hurt Mai, it was Yuki's job to observe not only her but her developing ESP as well. With Yuki being a telepath, it made things a lot easier too.

"So, care to tell me about the dream that you had last night?" Yuki asked Mai, sincere concern written on features. While having warmed up to the teen, she was friendlier than Naru or Lin, but didn't socialize well in large groups.

"Yeah. I heard someone call out to me. I mean, sure they were yelling 'Okaa-san' but it felt as though the voices were calling me. Also, the voices were almost identical. There were two of them and I was able to tell them apart, even though they sounded alike."

"Hmmm, well, if you're up to Naru's stupidity, you can tell him about it. All I can tell you is that you talk in your sleep when we're not on a case. You know, you could be seeing something that will happen, a premonition of sorts, or it's just something that you'd like to happen and I know for a fact that you want to have kids someday, Mai. Preferably the kids of our favorite narcissist, who still believes, quite idiotically might I add, that you're in love with his dead twin."

At this point Mai was trying her best to stifle her giggles at Yuki's melodramatic lamenting. Flashing Mai a quick but bright smile, Yuki continued on.

"Poor Gene. How on earth did he put up with the man?"

"They're twins. It's a given I suppose. Anyway, I don't know what you're talking about, having Naru's children. I'd like to have a relationship with him, now that I've gotten to know him better but I don't want to have children. I'd like to adopt. There are hundreds, literally thousands, of kids out there, with no mother, no father, no family and worse, no place to really call home. I want to care for those kids."

"All the more reason for me to go with my theory."

"What theory?"

"I'll tell you later. Right now, you need to fix your shirt. You were in such a rush you buttoned it the wrong way."

"EHH?!!"

Sure enough, Mai had successfully managed to button each button in every other hole.

"Let's see, she has five, four, three, two, one-"

"Made it!" Mai called out, as she reached the door to SPR right as the clock tolled six.

"Whoa, Jou-chan! Talk about cutting it close!" Bou-san laughed as the skinny part-timer bent over, catching her breath.

"We would have been here sooner but somebody doesn't have an alarm clock." Yuki scowled at Mai as the teen returned a glare up at her pathetically through her bangs.

"Are you going to spend all day standing around or are you actually going to get to work?"

"Well, I don't see what the big hurry is Noll. After all, you're running up a pretty hefty tab on words. Doesn't your jaw hurt from the stupidity of what you say?"

Yuki's temper began to boil. That stupid narcissistic jerk of a workaholic! She thought angrily as Mai began to gather the equipment. It's hard to believe he has a brain in that thick skull of his!

Meanwhile, Bou-san was trying, and failing, desperately to contain his snickers. Ayako walked out of the office to do her laughing outside, while Naru planned the slow torment that Yuki would endure. It did not sit well with him that not only was she able to beat him in verbal matches but that she also spent more time with Mai. They lived right next door to one another, they talked a lot and Mai told Yuki far more than she told Naru. He wasn't sure why but he hated those facts with a vengeance.

"Smith-san, may I remind you that you are not in charge here and that I can send you home."

"Go ahead, Ollie-kun," Naru flinched visibly at the use of 'Ollie', "However, you should remember that if I am not present, a letter has to be sent to your parents explaining my absence and if they think the reason is petty and childish, then I'm back at work. Face it, I work for your parents, not you. You don't sign my paycheck and you don't pay my travel fees, they do. So, anything else Ollie?"

"..." What in the HELL is with the 'Ollie' thing? Stop it!

It was a little known fact that the last person to call Naru 'Ollie' ended up with a black eye and a fear of sarcasm.

"Didn't think so." Yuki smirked. She loved that reaction. Mai would scold her later but that boy was simply infuriating.
