Chapter One: The Meeting.
"Fine I will than!" Mai Taniyama yelled slamming the door to SPR's office. She was fuming as she stormed past Lin, on her why out of the building. 'Stupid Naru.' She growled jogging to the bus stop; she would be late for her first day of collage if she didn't hurry.
Pulling her jacket closer against the wind she sighed, feeling drained from her latest fight with her narcissistic boss. It had been the same problem all year; she needed to do only part-time work so that she could concentrate on her studies.
But Naru wouldn't agree, he said that she had a perfectly good job, so why finish school? it was completely un-Naru like, he'd been the one (until last year) pushing her to spend more time in school-so that she wouldn't be so stupid-but now that it was Mai asking for it, he wouldn't let her? It just wasn't fair!
The bus pulled up and Mai grabbed her bag and jumped on happy to be getting away from her irritating boss.
Haruka Ozawa stared at the sleeping man, lying on the couch in the film research room. Haruka was worried about him, it had been raining almost all week, and this room wasn't exactly the warmest.
Yakumo Saito shifted uneasily, feeling someone's eyes on him as he tired to get some sleep after a long night of working with Detective Gotou. He groaned cracking him eyes opened to see Haruka looking down at him with a loving expression.
Annoyed he sat up, glaring at her. "What do you want woman?"
Tapping a finger on her chin she thought about it for a moment. "Nothing really."
She looked so cute just then that Yakumo couldn't say anything, grunting his disapproval he flopped back down to get some much needed sleep, before Gotou came back to get him later that afternoon.
"I'll be back later." Haruka said picking up her bag. "I have to meet up with some friends for lunch and then I stop by before going home." The expected silence made her smile. "See ya then!" she said closing the door with a soft click.
Yakumo sighed; he'd wished she had stayed longer, even if he'd never tell her.
Mai glared down at the caller ID on her new cell phone; Naru.
She ground her teeth, slipping the phone back into her pocket before she could lose her resolve and answer. There was no way that she was going to let him spoil her good mood with his nasty remarks. slapping her face, she shook her head clearing it.
Mai looked up at the massive school in front of her and smiled, she was about to enter a whole new world! Excitedly Mai walked up the steps and headed inside with all of the other first year students.
Haruka was late. She ran through the on coming students, trying desperately to get to the opening Ceremony. hopefully before her teachers noticed she hadn't arrived yet, there were only ten minutes till it started after all, and they had trusted her with this because she was reliable. she didn't want to betray their trust. Her speech clasped tightly in her hands, she dodged a group of tall male students and collided with a brown haired girl.
The two slammed into each other, falling over into the wall with dull thuds. Haruka dropped her speech, while the other girl spilt her bag all over the floor.
"I'm so sorry!" they said together grabbing to get all of each other stuff before someone stepped on it. Haruka smiled as the girl handed her speech to her.
"Thanks." She said as she helped her to her feet. "I'm Haruka Ozawa."
"Mai Taniyama."
"It's nice to meet you Taniyama-san, sorry but I really have to hurry..."
"Oh. Me too!" Taniyama cried catching sight of the clock. The welcoming ceremony would start any minute now, the halls were already empty of the mass of students from before.
Quickly saying their goodbyes the two girls ran in opposite directions. Haruka ran to the stage door, walking through just in time, taking her seat before the lights were turned on. Her teacher sent her a meaningful look before standing to welcome the new students.
The Ceremony was short and after shaking a few hands, Haruka was allowed to leave the teachers. Just in time for lunch with her friends. Shiori and Miki were chatting happily at their table when Haruka came up to them apologizing for being so late.
"Not a problem." Miki said waving if off. "How'd the Ceremony go?"
"Okay, I almost didn't make it." Haruka admitted slumping into her seat. Yawning, she asked the girls what it was that they wanted to talk about.
"Were both going on a group date. Some first years are going to be coming too. But we need you to even out the numbers." Shiori looked pleadingly at her. "Please? It would really be a big help!"
"I don't know..."
"Come on! It's not like Saito is going to get jealous or anything so it should be fine. Right?"
Haruka looked at Miki frowning. "And why do I have to go? I'm sure there are lots of other people who would want to go with you." Haruka said picking at her food disinterestedly.
"Because the guy you'll be partnered up with, doesn't want a girlfriend right now. So you, are the perfect match for him." Shiori said patting her shoulder. "It'll be like two friends hanging out, rather then two people on a date. How about?"
"Please come Haruka, it'll be fun we're going to the movies."
Haruka looked at her friends pleading faces and she knew what her answer was going to be, rolling her eyes she said. "Okay, I'll go."
"Yea!" both girls cried smiling.
"But don't expect me to like it."
Lunch ended, and having no classes that afternoon meant that Haruka was free to go visit her favorite club room and the young man who lived there. Yakumo was waiting for her, though not really seeming to. He watched her not listening as she blabbed on about nonsense until he heard the words 'group date' his ears perked up as he began to pay attention to the bubbling woman.
"—and since no one else wants to hang out with someone who doesn't want a girlfriend, they thought of me." Sighing, she rolled her eyes. "Really i'm to much of a push over, i'm only going to even out the numbers but really..."
"Why?"
"Why what?" Haruka asked passing him a doughnut, from the box that she had picked up on the way over, from his favorite shop.
"Why did they ask you?" he elaborated biting the squishy white powdered doughnut. He really was interested, it had been a while since Haruka's friends had asked her to join a group date, he'd been happy when they stopped, it bothered him that she was going out with other people...wait, what?
He shook his head clearing such ridiculous thoughts from it, before they could take to much of a hold on him. It wouldn't do him any good to get too attached to Haruka. he knew that there really wasn't anything keeping her with him, when she got bored she'd leave him, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Because, I don't want a boyfriend either, so it all works out." Haruka glanced over at him, concerned. "Are you alright?" she asked moving towards him, she place a small hand on his forehead, gasping she shouted. "You have a fever!"
"Hmm."
"Lay down! You should be sleeping!" Haruka said panicking, 'how could she go on a date when he was burning up?' she pushed him on to the couch and grabbed his sleeping bag. She was in the process of pushing him into it, he pushed her over trying to get more distance between them. Haruka growled wrapping her leg around him and flipping them both onto the couch, with her sitting on his legs.
"Ha! Don't underestimate me I've been taking self defense for a while now."
"Oh, really?" Haruka was so shocked by the smile he gave her that he was able to shove her over, but his hand got caught under her arm and he was pulled over, both fall in a tangled mess to the floor.
"Get off of me!" Haruka laughed pushing at his chest.
Yakumo tried to move, feeling awkward. but he was stuck. "I can't." he said coolly. they kept struggling, trying to get free until a knock on the door made them both halt their actions.
Detective Gotou had become very careful these days, having walked in on a few awkward situations, that the young pair of collage student had been in, a little too often. So he had starting knocking, today he was in to much of a hurry to wait, though so he knocked once and pushed the door opened.
He instantly wished he hadn't, the sight that met his eyes was the worst of the passed few extremely awkward positions he had seen. Anger flaring up inside him, that couldn't at least have enough sense to lock the door. "Would you two please, remember to lock the door next time!" he yelled glaring down at them. "I don't want to walk in once the kissing starts."
"Wha-what? I wouldn't. I mean..." Haruka sputtered blushing scarlet, she looked back and forth from the detective and Yakumo, confused for a second before his meaning clicked. She kicked out pushing Yakumo enough so that she could get up. he rolled on the floor holding his stomach, glaring at her.
ignoring him, she turned shaking her head to Gotou. "No, no, no, no! It is definitely not what you're thinking; I was just trying to get him into his sleeping bag that's it. I swear!"
Irritated that she had to explain everything to the intruder, Yakumo sat up, deciding to be difficult. why shouldn't he have some fun once in a while?
"Then why were you on the floor?"
"Umm... well that is we were-"
"What do you think? Did you have to walk in just then, Gotou-san really." Yakumo said lifting himself onto the couch. "You always interrupt."
Haruka paled, staring at Yakumo with an opened mouth. What was he doing?
Gotou narrowed his eyes at the human cat.
"That the two of us having been toget-"
"Wow, ignore him please, he's got a fever and doesn't know what he's talking about!"
"I don't really care, what you two do do as long as i don't have to see it." he said rubbing his temples, trying to stop the headache he could feel building in his head.
"Really?" Yakumo asked, smirking.
Haruka didn't know why but she just had to clear up this misunderstanding, before it went of any further. "You wish!" Haruka shouted startling the older man. "I'm going to be late for my date, so i'm leaving. Yakumo you need to rest or your fever is going to get worse. See you later Detective Gotou-san."
The two men stared at each other neither knowing what to say, for a moment.
"So, you lied?"
"Yeah..."
Half an hour earlier...
"Mai tea!" Kazuya shouted from his office. He was beginning to feel withdrawal from not having any of Mai specially made tea. Lin had tried to make him some, but he was horrible at making tea, and he would only make Chinese tea, which Kazuya had never liked to begin with. "Mai?"
Annoyed he got up from the couch, placing his book on the table. he made his way over to his assistant's desk, seeing that she wasn't there, he growled. He'd heard her come in just a minute ago.
"Mai!"
"Yes?" Kazuya jumped, as she popped up behind him, eyes shining. "Was there something you wanted?"
"Tea." he watched as she smiled, bouncing off to the kitchen to make it for him. He followed closely, watching her. It was strange, she looked different some how then the last time he'd seen her. She seemed happier, and less bothered by his demands lately.
"Mai, is something wrong? You're acting very strange."
Mai glanced at him over her shoulder, watched him for a moment before turning back to the tea. "Nothing, I'm just happy, I had a great first day at school, and I'm going out on a group date with some of my classmates tonight." She smiled handing him the now finished tea. "Nothing's wrong."
Kazuya stared at her.
"What?"
"Hmm?"
"What did you just say?"
"About what?"
"Mai!" he shouted losing his patience with the younger girl. It had been happening a lot lately, he wasn't sure as to why; he didn't mean to, she was just so frustrating. She made his head and chest hurt on a daily basis, and it was making him crazy. The worst part was it hurt more when he didn't see her, which was the reason that he told her not to go to a school so far away.
"Sorry." Mai said pouting a little. 'Ah, why is she so cute?' shaking his head, he tried to listen as she repeated her plans for that evening.
"A group date? That doesn't sound like fun at all." He said dismissively.
"Well maybe not for you, but there are some really cute guys coming, and a bunch of older girls." Mai glared. "But none of that would interest someone like you, Oh great Oliver Davis sir."
Kazuya stared shocked as his cute assistant stormed out of the office (for the second time that day) slamming the door behind her.
"Ouch." Lin stated unnecessarily.
