Hello everyone!

I'm sorry for being late, I have been in writer'sblock and I was quite busy. This is theHeavenly re-write.

I want to say thank you to ScarletLycrois, for being my new editor so this chapter is for her. This chapter would never be perfect without her help!

-Mai's dream- Mai's POV.

"Such a beautiful place..." I whispered. I looked around and felt I was standing in a peaceful abyss of white. I blinked and took a look around me. Golden orbs of light shine dimly, rising all around me.

"Hello my dear..." A soft voice echo'sthrough the air. Interrupting my peaceful thoughts.

"Who's there?" I nervously asked. I felt a presence behind me. I raised my hands in the warning, chanting gesture Monk showed me awhile back and looked behind me.

A beautiful woman with long, blondehair and golden eyes appeared in-front of me. She had a slim figure and was wearing a pale dress.

"Donot be afraid child." She whispered.

For some reason the woman in-front of melooked somehow familiar. I looked deeply into her eyes to find myself being overthrown with a wave of comfort.

"Why have you bought me here?" I asked. She just smiled at me gently in response.

"Mydear child, it is almost time for you toawaken..."

The women was still smiling at me but in her eyes there was a hint of sadness and despair.

"Almost time for what?" I begged.

"Time will answer your question as I cannot answer for you." She said with a sad look on her face

"Then what's your name? At least tell me that!"

"At the moment I cannot tell you, but I shall when the time is right." She said gently and quietly.

At that moment I heard thefaint sound of someone calling my name.

"Mai."

"I must go now, but be careful..."

"Mai."

"Careful? Careful of what? Wait! Please don't go- please!"

"You will find changes."

"Change? In what? Where? In me?" I begged, waiting for the reply. But it was too late.

I was already waking up.

Mai's Pov

"Mai! Hey sleepy-head, I've been calling you for the past five minutes. It'stime to wake up!" Monk yell at me while pulling my blanket away.

"But dad, please it the weekend!"I mumbled, pulling the duvet over my head.

In case you didn't know, Monk and Ayako got married three years ago, during that time they also decided to legally adopt me as their daughter. I've been living with them ever since.

"That's a no, you have to go to work Kiddo." Monk yelled back.

"What work?" I grumbled, wanting to go to sleep, but instead I jumped out of the bed too tackleMonk.

"Naru's back." He lightly whispered.

"WHAT!"I screamed.

"He isn't alone, is re-starting the SPR." Monk grumbled, rubbing his head.

"So why am I going to work with him?"I whisper with a bitter sadness in my voice.

"He calledall of us to work together again and we said yes." He was looking into my eyes, meaning he was serious.

"We?"

"Well, me and your mom."

I pouted. "I'm twenty years old, I have a college degree and I'm the highest in my class which means I can get my own job instead of working for the stupid SPR!"

"I know sweetie but you need to face you fears." He said while giving me a hug.

"But that stupid Narcissist hurt me..." I whisperedputting my face into his shirt . I felt it get slightly damp from my tears.

"Iknow, but you can't run away from it forever." He said quietly and tightened the hug.

"I know, and I have gotten stronger." I said with a smile letting go of his fatherly hug.

"That'sright, and I'm sure you can do anything." He said getting up, off the bed.

"Thanks dad." I said as I watching him walk to the door. He stopped by the door-frame.

"When did you change your hair?"

"Hmm?"

"I thought you did something different with it...it looks nice."

I remembered my dream from last night and how I woke up with gold highlights.

"Thanks dad."

"Now get ready we don't want to be late." He said closing the door right behind him.

I let out a huge sigh and fell straight back down on the bed. I stared at the ceiling contemplating my next move. 'It's been a few years...a lot has happened...can I face seeing Nar-...himagain...after what he did...' I rolled around and stretched my arms above my head before leaving them to rest on the pillow above my head. 'C'mon Mai, get a hold of yourself, show him you've changed these past few years!' A breathe of a laugh escaped me. I got out of bed and walked to my wardrobe.

Looks like I'm meeting him again...

ok that it. This all thanks to ScarletLycrois, because without her my grammars would be everywhere!
