MY WORST NIGHTMARE RETURN
{DREAM}
… " So you've been lying to us all this time? What kind of sick bastard are you?" Ayako said angrily after hearing the truth. Naru told us everything, his true identity that really shocked Monk, his twin brother, the reason Masako blackmailed him and the real reason he hired me.
"You used Mai and now you're leaving just like that? Don't you think your destroying her life?" Monk yelled angrily at Naru.
" I have to go," Yashu said getting up from the couch then turned and face me "Mai are you ok?" tears were streaming down my cheeks I looked up at him slowly with disbelief written all over my face. "if you need anything Mai just give me a call ok?" I couldn't find my voice I only blinked and more tears slid down my cheeks, he took one last look at me then left. I looked up at Ayako and Monk they were both yelling angrily at Naru that he was a selfish bastard Naru on the other hand was getting irritated at them.
" Miss Hara would you please wait in the van we'll be down in a minute," Naru said to Masako simply ignoring Ayako and Monk. Masako took up her suite case and briefly glance at me before walking through the door
"I should be going too," John, said softly w could hear the disappointment in his voice he left behind Masako. By this Naru was beyond annoyed with Ayako and Monk and for the whole time I was sitting there Naru avoided looking at m.
"You two are annoying, Lin lets go we have a plane to catch," Naru said walking to the door with Lin following close behind him.
"Naru wait!" I found myself holding unto his sleeve I didn't realize how fast I moved form sitting on the couch to standing behind the retrieving back of Naru, Monk and Ayako stopped their fuming and turned their attention to me. Naru stopped abruptly but made no effort to face me,
"Look at me," I said hoarsely
Naru turned around and look down at me with his icy blue sapphire blue eyes, "please don't go," I whispered "will you stay if I told you I'm in love with you?"
"No,"
At that moment I could literally hear the breaking of my heart, 'you're not in love with me Mai you love my dead brother,"
His words were icier than ever and more bitter than I ever heard him they shot at lightening speed from my ears through the veins that connect to my heart and shatter it into countless of pieces I could hear the shards falling into darkness. He brushed my shaking hand from his sleeve and disappeared into the dark abyss….
"Aaaah!" Mai screamed frantically as her body shook uncontrollably, Monk heard he and rushed into her room.
"Mai! Are you ok?"
Mai opened her eyes to see a worried Monk looking down at her
"Monk!" she cried and buried her face into his shirt "it's…th…that …dream again."
Monk knew all too well what dream she was talking about. The day Naru left was a disaster for Mai not only did he broke he took her life the only job she looked forward to going to everyday even thou it put her in a lot of danger. From that day on Monk vowed to be the big brother he always wanted o be to her, to protect her and be there for her in times like these. Monk moved in with Mai for 6 months, the girl went into devastation; night after night she would wake up screaming from the memory that made itself into a nightmare. She hardly ate and grew thinner by the days, she isolated herself form her friends and threw herself into studying and stop communicating altogether.
Now 2 yrs have passed and Mai recuperate from her devastation, she began to talk and socialize with her friends again. She was now a senior in high school that makes her 17, she got a part time job at a restaurant working along side Michiru one of her best friends.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine now" she said wiping her eyes with the back of her hand
"Not that I want to make your morning worst than it already is but if you don't hurry your gonna be late for school,"
"Eeehh, why didn't you say so," Mai said in alarm. She hopped out of bed and rushed to her closet and took out her uniform then tosses it on the bed and made a mad dash for the bathroom. Monk with all respect left her room and went into the living room he took up his cup of coffee that he bought before coming over to Mai's place but had to leave it on the table when he heard Mai screaming.
"Oh no, I have to get to school in 10 minutes if I take the subway I'll definitely be late and miss out a whole session," Mai said in alarm
"I'll take you but you'll just miss about 5 mins of class," Monk said tossing her school bag to her
"It's better than the subway," Mai said catching the bag. She took up her set of keys and cell phone from off the table and dash through the door; Monk took p his car keys and left the apartment.
"Hurry up would you, you're as slow as the old man you are,"
"I wouldn't be calling anybody names knowing you're the one that's late," Monk said getting into his side of the car Mai smiled sweetly at him. 15 mins later they pulled up at the gate of Mai's school,
"Thank you, thank you so much," Mai said and gave him a hug. Monk took up his still untouched coffee but before he could even take his first sip it was swiped away from his grip Mai took the coffee out of his hand be fore exiting the car. "Thanks for the coffee I owe you one," she said and made a mad dash to class, Monk stared dumb folded at his empty hand and the leaving back of Mai, he shook off the stupid look off his face and smile then drove off.
School was out and Mai was making her way to work, she quickly left school grounds and made her way to the subway, luckily she caught the train just before it left the strain station. 20 minutes later she stepped from the train and ran up the stairs and turned to her right, her work place was just a block up ahead three blocks further down the road was the Shibuya Physic Research building still standing vacant. From that horrible day Mai avoided passing the building. She pushed the door open just as the clock struck 2:30 she sighed in relief.
"Don't just stand there Taniyama get to work," barked an old man, he looked to be in his mid 50's with more gray hair than black. Just looking at the man he seems very mean but he is kind other wise except when it comes to working, he take his business serious.
"Right away Hyabusa-sama," Mai said and disappear into the back, she re-emerged wearing a short black maid costume with a white apron tied around her waist with a notebook and pen in hand.
"Glad you made it in time," Michiru "he would have blown his top if you were late again, Mai why wont you just take a taxi you would have been here early enough."
"No way Michiru," Mai protested "I'll be fine." She walked over to a couple that was entering the restaurant,
"Hello welcome to The Hyabusa Restaurant right this way please," she said then lead them to a table that was available she poured them coffee and took their order. Mai was handing the couple their food when Monk walked in and headed for his regular booth way in the back away from Hyabusa-sama. Michiru was pouring coffee into a customer's cup when she spotted Monk heading to the booth, she sneaked over to Mai and nudged her in her side and motion her head in Monk's direction. Both girls looked over at their boss but he was busy writing in his accounts book, Hyabusa-sama hated when Monk comes by due to the fact that he was always distracting Mai form her work. Mai quickly got a tea cup and took the coffee from Michiru and sneaked her way over to Monk unseen by her boss she placed the cup on the table in front of Monk then poured out the coffee in the cup. She peered over her shoulder at her boss but he was too busy to notice anything then slipped into the seat facing Monk and ducked her head low enough so that her boss could not see her.
"You're gonna get me fired," Mai whined
"Relax he's not even aware that I'm here," Monk said " well not yet at least."
"I'm serious Monk I can't afford to get fired,"
"Ok, ok I promise I won't be long," he said assuring, "so how was school?"
"School was fine," Mai answered peering now and then over at her boss
"Remember this morning you said you owe me one?"
"Yeah so?"
"Tomorrow we got a gig at a concert…"
"That's great! Hold on…"
Mai hurried over to the couple that she was serving and cleared their table by the time she got back the couple was gone but they left her a reasonable tip. She cleared couple more table and served few coffee before sneaking her way back over to Monk
"Sorry about that,' Mai apologized
"Oh no no no it's your job," Monk answered " as I was saying we got the gig but our lead singer called in sick and wont be able to perform so…I…uh…told the band that…you could replace her,"
"YOU WHAT?" Mai almost shouted
"Come on Mai," Monk begged, "you'll be paid plus you're not going to school or coming to work, you owe me one remember?"
"I cant believe this," Mai said through gritted teeth, "you know I have never performed before how am I gonna pull this off,"
"Mai you'll be fine you're gonna do great don't worry about it, I'll see you back at the apartment later," Monk said and place his money on the table for the coffee and left her a tip also then left.
"Oh man," Mai groaned as she took up the money and the coffee, she slumped over to Michiru
"Thanks for looking out for me,"
"No problem," Michiru said, " you know I'm a big fan of the band,"
"Uh…you on duty tomorrow?" Mai asked
"No why?" Michiru answered
"The band got a gig at this concert and I was wondering if you wanted to go,"
"YES!" the girl screamed earning them a stern look from their boss "Keiko is gonna flip when she hears this can she come too?"
"Of course," Mai answered, "we'll pick you guys up at around say 7:30," Mai whispered as she slipped off to assist some customers.
Mai had a long day at work and was now climbing the stairs to her apartment she heard talking coming from he apartment, she knew Monk and Ayako was there surprisingly they were not arguing but actually having a conversation. She opened the door to se Ayako lying on the couch and Monk leaning on the wall next to the window, they paused their conversation as Mai walked in
"What the hell happed to you, you look like you were hit by a truck," Ayako said staring at Mai
"Ha ha not funny," Mai said sarcastically "I had a long day at work today man am I tired,"
"I heard you were going to perform,"
"Oh yeah, you heard that already,"
"Monk told me,"
"Who else would have," mumbled Mai under her breath
"What was that?" Ayako asked with a comic look on her face
"Oh nothing it was nothing," Mai said with a fake smile " even so I don't know what I'm going to sing,"
"How about a love song?" Ayako suggested
"No way I don't do love songs," Mai rejected
"Hey Mai how about that song, that American song you're always singing?"
"I don't know which song you're talking about,"
"You know that American actor who also sings and wear those dresses you like,"
Mai scratched her head in concentration then she recognize who Monk was talking
"Oh that one, I don't know"
"Like I said Mai you're a pro no need to worry you'll do fine,"
"Wait a minute, who are were talking here?" Ayako said lost to everything
"And they say I was old," Monk commented which earned him one of Ayako's shoes to the head
"Hey what's that for?" Monk yelled at Ayako
"That stupid comment," Ayako said through gritted teeth
Mai yawned and made her way to her room but before she closed the door she said
"You know you two are one in a million I would be surprise if you guys got married." Then closed her door leaving Monk and Ayako in the living room, Monk made his way over to the couch where Ayako was and gave her back her shoes,
"I wonder if she's seeing through us," Ayako said in a whisper peering at Mai's close door
"I don't see why we have to be hiding our relationship from Mai," Monk said in a hush tone
"Quit complaining," Ayako whispered back " it's for Mai's own good, you know how she gets when she see couples together,"
"I know," Monk pouted
"Two more wks I promise then everything will be out in the open, ok," Ayako whispered then leaned into him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, "so cute,"
"That was nice," Monk comment, Ayako blushed like a 16yr old high school girl. "This morning when I came over to check on Mai before she leave for school, as I got to the door I could hear her screaming her heart out. You know how I am I rushed inside to find out what the problem was when I got in Mai was still in bed when I shook her awake she started crying said it was that dream again."
"Don't tell me it's starting again," Ayako said burying her face into her hand " I thought that dream stopped haunting her 2yrs ago,"
"Me too," Monk agreed "I'm really worried about her,"
"That egotistic jerk,"
"I have something to tell you," Monk said
"What is it?"
"I saw Lin two weeks ago,"
"Really?" Ayako said in surprise
"Told me things weren't so hot on his side of the planet, he was visiting some relatives in china then he gave me a call he flew over here and we meet up at a café in town, we talked a little then he told me they were coming back to work on more cases they'd be here permanent."
"Are you serious?"
" The problem is that they planned on asking everyone back to help on the cases that turn up,"
"But that includes Mai, I can't believe he really has the heart to ask her to work for him again after what he did to her," Ayako whispered angrily
"Calm down its not like she knows yet," Monk whispered
"Do you think him coming back here could trigger off the dream again?" Ayako asked
"I don't know, maybe we'll just have to see if she will have the nightmare tonight again,"
"This is too much for me I better get going," Ayako said getting up from the couch and made her way to the door Monk followed close behind her. "I'll see you in the morning, I'm taking Mai shopping,"
"You may not see me when you get here I'm leaving early got to go practice with the band, you taking Mai shopping sounds like a plan to me," he said then leaned down and gave her a long passionate kiss. Ayako left shortly after Monk made his way back to the couch and took off his shoes and lay down minutes later he was fast asleep.
The next morning Mai woke up with a start, it was those eyes that woke her up the eyes of her nightmare,
"Grrrr," Mai growled in frustration "why wont you leave me alone," Suddenly Mai heard someone unlocking her front door, keys tossed on hard wood assuming it was the table and the click of heels on the hard wood with each step (Ayako)
"Mai!" her voice rang out
"In here," Mai called back as she got out of bed, Ayako walked in clothed in a fashionable red top with black pants and black heels, her long red hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
"You look nice, what's the occasion?"
"Don't I always look nice," Ayako flaunted "hurry up and get into something I'm taking you shopping I got to find you something to wear I would die of embarrassment if you war something from your closet,"
"Gee thanks,"Mai said fuming
"Consider it as a gift for your first gig,"
"Whatever," Mai said going into her bathroom " by the while you're out there could you call Monk and tell him to pick up Kieko and Michiru at 7:30 tonight.
"Sure," Ayako said exiting Mai's room, ten minutes later Mai emerged from her room Ayako had just got off the phone,
"He says sure lets go we have a dress to buy,"
AT THE CONCERT
"Ayako we're late," Mai exclaimed getting out of the car
"Nothing is wrong with being fashionably late, and you're talking like it's my fault we got stuck in traffic,"
"How are we gonna get in? Monk didn't give us any tickets,"
"This way," Ayako said and lead Mai around to the back of the building, they hurried around to the back where they saw a big heavy iron door Ayako pound on it three times the door swung open to reveal a large muscular man looking down at them, but before the man could say anything Monk popped his head through the door,
"You guys are late,"
"Traffic," Ayako said pushing Mai into the building
"You two look nice," Monk comment over the loud rock music
"Thanks to Ayako," Mai said
Mai was wearing a short red pumpkin style dress with a bow in the front, with long sleeve black jacket and black booty. She had in red hoop earrings and black accessories around her neck her nails were painted black, she wore light make up with strawberry colour lip stain, and her hair was water curled which bounced with the slightest movement. Ayako was dressed in a purple fitting top and white pants with black boots, her red hair was flowing down her shoulders she wore a slight heavier make up than Mai.
"Mai come on it's your turn to go on stage," Monk shouted over the noise
"Its my time already?"
The M C got on stage after the previous entertainer got off,
… "We have a first timer in the place give her a hand Miss Mai Taniyama!"
Mai felt her heart skipped a beat and for some reason it felt like it was pounding in her throat and her palms became sweaty. Mai walked out slowly onto the stage, the floodlight was really bright and the crowd was pumped
"H…Hi everyone," Mai said to the crowd and they cheered "h…how are you tonight?" and the crowd cheered even louder "this song is dedicated …to a certain narcissist,"
Monk was shocked that Mai would saw something like that, she closed her eyes and began to sing
Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me
Did you regret (did you regret)
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget (did you forget)
We were feeling inside
Now I'm left
To forget
About us
As she began to sing uncontrollable memories began to flash back into her mind, they portrayed like the scenes of a movie. She remembered when she fell down the manhole and Naru came to save her even though they both end up falling in not long after a ghost appeared and he protected her telling her to stay behind him and don't make any sudden movement.
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget
We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us
Someone quickly ran up to Mai and strapped on her guitar on her, she remembered when she woke up in the nurse's quarter and saw the ghost lying on the bed next to her when she tried to get out, the floor collapsed taking her with it. She had no idea of how she was going to get out of there when Naru showed up he was surprised to se her down there, when he tried to help her up the ceiling gave out a loud crack. The next thing she knew, she was trapped between the ceiling and the floor but she realized she wasn't alone Naru was there protecting her. The sadness was too much for her and tears slid down her cheeks as she sang
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
(Guitar Solo)
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it at all
And at last
All the pictures have been burned
All the past
Is just a lesson that we learned
I wont forget it
please don't forget
Us
Somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you wont sing along
You've forgotten
About
Us
(Don't forget)
The crowd cheered wildly and whistled for her, Mai on the other hand was wiping tears away from her cheeks and waved at the crowd then walked off stage.
"Mai that was great," Keiko said hugging the girl
"You didn't tell us you were gonna perform," Michiru added
"Mai you look so hot, any guy would fall for you," Keiko shouted over the noise
"Mai that was awesome," Monk commend
"You rock," Ayako added
"Thanks guys," Mai said
"Oh My God!" Keiko said in alarm
"Oh no," Michiru said looking behind Mai, they caught Mai's attention and she turned around to see what the problem was, her heart literally stopped for a milli second. She looked up into the eyes that taunt her that very morning; it was Naru along with Lin.
