Chapter 1: Back Again.
I lay across my bed, tears stained my cheeks. I hadn't felt like this in ages, it was almost like three years ago.
It was a different pain but the same amount of tears. I curled up in a ball around my pillow and sobbed into it.
I felt something vibrate on my bed and I looked up at my phone, she was ringing. I flipped up my phone and pressed it to my ear.
"Mai." she said and I sighed, "Yes Ayako." I heard the woman gasp. "Mai, what's the matter you sound upset, I'm on my way round your now." she half shouted, I went to reply but she cut me off and I sighed rolling back onto my back.
Everyone had become protective over me. Ever since they saw be that upset, that day, three years ago, they had always been there, by my side.
I sat up on my bed and ruffled my long brown hair. I had grown it, I hated having it short now and it was a lot longer. I sighed and stood from my bed, I walked over to the bathroom door.
I poked my head round the door quickly to look in the mirror. I had red eyes but my hair was fine. I turnt around and head out into the kitchen.
The door bell rung as I set the kettle on the stove and turnt it on. I walked out the kitchen and towards the door. I slowly opened it but it was soon busted open and arms wrapped around me.
"Bou-san, I can't breathe." I shouted. He let me go and looked into my eyes. "What's up, what- OW" he shouted as a certain miko hit him around the head.
"Mai." she exclaimed. I looked up at her, and she smiled down at me, "Nazumi." I nodded and she hugged me as Bou-san shut the door.
"What did he do?" she asked and I sighed, "He cheated on me with another girl, I dumped him and now he keeps harassing me, look." I showed the them phone I had in my hand which was vibrating. Ayako raised an eyebrow, "That's not his number." I looked down at the caller, it was Masako.
"Hello?" I said as I flipped the phone up and put it to my ear. "Mai, I know your with Ayako and Bou-san, can you give them the phone please?" she asked. "Sure." I muttered, I held out the phone to Ayako and she took it as I walked back into the kitchen.
The kettle was whistling and it was giving me a head ache.
I heard a huge gasp and I looked over my shoulder at Ayako as I poured out the tea. "What is it?" I asked and she shook her head. "Nothing," I nodded knowing there's no point in arguing.
I poured out three teas and set them on the table, Bou-san picked up his and nodded at me, I smiled softly taking a sip of mine. "Sure, I'll tell them" she nodded. "Yes I know, I know." she nodded her head again and sighed, "I know, she won't like it." she nodded, "Okay bye." Ayako flipped the phone down and looked at me, "Your not going to like this." she stated and I put my tea down.
"What aren't I going to like." she shook her head, "We all need to meet Masako, she, John, and Yasuhara are all waiting at the usual café she has something she needs to tell us all, I already know."
I nodded, "Okay." Ayako looked down on me with a sad expression on her face, I smiled up at her softly and turnt to walk out. "Mai, what ever it is, we are always here for you." Bou-san said. I nodded and then continued my walk to my bedroom.
I sipped at another tea. Masako and John were sat opposite me smiling and blushing, Masako had ditched the kimono's and now was wearing normal clothes. John was still the same, but he had quit priest hood for Masako, he had permission from his church to still do exorcisms.
I smiled at the couple and someone nudged me. I looked up Yasuhara, "That's could be me and you." he winked and I glared. "Oh, come on Mai-chan, you know you love me," I hit him playfully.
"I'm only joking, I only have room for one man in my heart." he grabbed Bou-san arm and hugged him. I burst into laughter at the sight of them to.
Bou-san was sweating dropping and Yasuhara had a devious grin covering his face. Ayako tapped her nail on the table restlessly and I stopped laughing, "So Masako, why did you bring us here?" I asked and she looked over at me.
"I have some news, and there is someone that would like to speak with you all but they won't be here for another hour." I nodded and smiled at her, she smiled slightly and I picked up my tea.
"What's the news then, a baby." Yasuhara joked and both John and Masako blushed. "No, something different, me and John...are...getting married." I gaped at her.
"Masako." I squealed and hugged her over the table. Me and Ayako squealed over Masako who had gone ten more shaded of red. Yasuhara and Bou-san were clapping John on the back while he went more red than Masako.
"That's great." I said again at Masako and then I smiled at John as we all sat back down.
"When?" Ayako asked and Masako smiled, "10th of August." I grinned, "8 months time." she nodded and I grinned again.
The waitress came round with out next lot of drinks. "So, Ayako and Bou-san, any baby news yet?" I asked, being serious and joking. They both went a bit red and Ayako hit my arm. "What?" I exclaimed and everyone laughed, "No." Ayako whispered quietly and Bou-san laughed one arm hugging her, "But she would make a good mum." I smiled.
"She would." I admitted and she smiled down at me. "Mai" she shouted and hugged me.
"Ayako." I squealed and everyone laughed again. I looked at Masako who's face had dropped. John's was just the same and everyone all stopped laughing at different times. I smiled, "Masako, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Your no different Mai, always caring for others." a cold voice said from behind me. I froze and kept looking at Masako, Why was he back. When did he get back?
I thought. "Naru-bou" Yasuhara shouted and Ayako let go of me. I stayed in my seat looking at Masako who was smiling at me softly, like she knew my pain.
"When did you get back?" Bou-san asked. I looked down at my tea while I listened to their conversation. "Yesterday." Naru answered. "Great, why are you back?" Ayako asked.
"I am back because Japan has more activity in the paranormal then England." He stated. The others snickered and the chair next to me moved. I stayed still looking down at my tea.
"So this is who you were on about Masako." Bou-san said and it went quiet, "So it is, then you have something to ask us." I kept looking down at my tea, not looking about.
I stood, "I need to get home, I need to get things ready." I began to walk out. "Don't leave." Ayako said. I stood in the middle of the empty shop aisle. I sighed, "Ayako." I called over my shoulder, "I need to." was all I muttered walking out the door.
I pulled my coat closer around my body, why is he back, I don't want to see him, look at him or even hear him I hate- "Mai." he called. I didn't look round, I carried on walking. "Mai." he called again. I stopped.
I knew he was stood behind me so I turnt around. "Yes Shibuya-san." I looked up into Naru's eyes, "Let me take you home, its late." I sighed, "I'm fine, my house is only around-" "Mai, its late." he stated and I sighed again.
"Fine." I muttered and he turnt like he was on a parade and I followed him back towards the café.
Out side was a slick black car, of course this is Naru's car, its black, I sighed as he opened my door. "Thank you." I murmured getting into his car.
He shut the door after me and I put my seat belt on. He walked around the car and got in the other side. He started the engine which broke the silence.
He pulled out of park and we head to my house. It was the same small house I had lived in since I moved out of my old teachers house. We pulled up outside five minuets later. We sat there in silence. "Thank you for taking me home." I muttered opening the door.
A hand came down on my arm, I looked over at Naru. "I want you to work for me again." he said. I stared at him, I pulled my arm away slowly. "I can't I already have a job." I slid out the car and shut the door behind me. I slowly walked up to my apartment door. I had the key in hand and put it straight in.
I unlocked my door and hastily stepped in side, not glancing back at all.
I closed the door behind me and I slid down it. I brought my hands up to my face and leant into them. "Why are you back, why?" I asked myself.
A cold breeze brushed across my neck, I sat bolt up. I stood and quickly opened the door and stumbled out. A ghost was stood in my doorway.
"Mai" someone shouted behind me as I stepped back again, my feet didn't land on anything solid and I fell back. I screamed and someone caught me. I was staring at the ghost, he had a smirk on his face before it disappeared.
I felt faint and sick, someone was calling my name. "Hm" I murmured before falling into a deep slumber.
Yay, Chapter 1 done.
Read and Reivew.
Peace Out- DemonHairedandBlueEyed.
