Naru's POV:

It's been 3 years since I have seen Mai and the rest of the SPR gang. It has also been 3 years since we found Gene's body. Lin and I have come back to Japan ready to start up SPR again, however that's not the only reason for our return. Over the past 3 years, almost every thought has been plagued by her, and all of my dreams have lingering images of that one girl who drives me insane - that girl being the one and only, Mai Taniyama. I wonder if she has changed at all, obviously she must of changed in appearance terms, but I wish when we return everything will be as we left it, especially Mai. I know that is selfish thinking, she probably has a boyfriend and a completely new life without me. The thought alone makes me angry, it also makes me sad, the reason for it is that another guy has seen how amazing she is and she has somehow she has moved on, but she could still be single and waiting around waiting for the day SPR comes back. Still more selfish thinking on my part. I just can't help it, just the thought of Mai makes me happy and makes me want do anything to get her to be mine.

Currently Lin and I are on the plane back to Japan, with Madoka in tow. I swear that women follows me everywhere just to annoy the crap out of me. Although, I am very thankful that Lin is seated between us - it means that he's the one who has to deal with her chatter the most. For the past few years, this annoying person has constantly been bugging me. "When are you going to contact Mai?" She would often ask me. Then she'd add, "You shouldn't keep your future wife waiting, you know!" Almost all of her comments makes toward me is about my so-called "love" for Mai. What utter nonsense! I sigh audibly. Why did mother have to force her along with us? Unless, of course, she too is still set on making Mai my future wife...

Thump.

My heart leaps into my throat and I feel a warm tingle on my cheeks. Don't be stupid, Noll. That girl has moved on... It is my own fault, after all... I was the one who turned her down... My throat tightens and my heart feels heavy. Honestly, that girl really does make my body do the strangest things...


Lin's POV

As I sit on this plane, half listening to Madoka's mindless chatter, I can't help but let my mind wander to Mai and the SPR team, but mostly Mai. After she told me that he shouldn't hate her because she is Japanese, or because she is an orphan, I couldn't help but admire her after that, she reminded me of Gene, he said the exact same thing to me. If he was still alive Mai and him would be soul mates, for some strange reason the thought of her with him, or anyone really makes me angry. Mrs Davis did not make this thought go away, as every waking moment of every day for the past 3 years she would refer to Mai as Noll's future wife. This sparked the strange feeling I have about Mai to intensify. I feel protective of her… like a guard dog or something. Also for the past three years Madoka and I have grown closer, everyone thinks Madoka and I would be together, but something is stopping me from asking her out. I hope returning to Japan will help me figure it out...
