Case File no. 10: Innocent Children

Chapter 1

It couldn't get better than what I have dreamt of when I was a child. Mai thought as she stares out of the van's window as they drive around that particular area in Japan. At the age of 19, I, Mai Taniyama have never thought that I would marry at such a young age. Furthermore, I married the last person I would have expected to marry. I have married Oliver Davis also known as Kazuya Shibuya in Japan, he is the antithesis of myself wherein if I am all smiles and sunshine, he was the darkness reincarnated ten times the power of the aeons and I have never regretted it until today.

"Naru! I don't know what is the difference of hiring another person for SPR from getting someone from the BSPR to transfer here" Mai whined to his husband who was very determined to ignore her.

It had been one month already when she requested her husband to hire another person for filing of cases and assisting them in office works for the SPR. It all started after Luella asked them what they would do if Mai get pregnant immediately, she informed them that she will not allow Mai to work for SPR as it might cause her stress and worse she might harm herself on cases. Mai immediately suggest to hire someone that she had met on her school as a replacement for her. She then lists all of the qualities that the person she was referring and discuss how that person love the paranormal as much as Naru and her do. It was all okay until she informed them gender of the person that she was referring to and how she had met him, that was where the argument had started.

Lin just shook his head off as he started to have a headache from hearing the same argument over and over again. He wonders when they will stop and how dense and innocent Mai could be. But, who could blame her? Naru was the epitome of a guy who has a super ego due to his narcissistic personality, who would have thought that he could get jealous to another guy when he already married Mai. As it turns out Mai referred a guy whom she met in college, he was also the same guy who courted her and almost become her first boyfriend. Fortunately, Mai reconsiders her decision after Yasu blatantly commented on how similar the guy who was courting her to Naru. He then proceeded on saying that it will be bad if Mai would find out later that she only saw Toshiro as a rebound because of the said similarities.

"Mai, I have told you already that I don't want a newbie in the company. I don't want to train another person because it is time consuming and I don't think that we need a new person now, especially we haven't settled back here yet"Naru said as he tries to control his irritation. Why would he hire someone whom he doesn't know and who have tried to take his Mai away from him, Naru grimace at this thought. He do sometimes wonder how his wife's mind work. How could she not tell how awkward it will be for them if this guy starts to work in SPR. Especially if they can't tell him that Mai is his wife. Due to his personality as the celebrated Professor of Parapsychology both of them decided to maintain Naru's alias in Japan. Therefore, this brings the dilemma on how they will inform everybody outside the circle of SPR that they were husband and wife if Mai's last name had already been changed into Davis.

"Well, that would be too late then" Mai said. This had earned a skeptical look from Naru as they disembark from the ever trusty van of SPR.

Mai had stopped walking and fidget a little as she tries to remain calm. Lin just walks ahead as he somehow can guess what Mai would say next based on her nervous state. They haven't started yet on cleaning the office, but he was feeling exhausted already. As he nears the base of the stairs, he heard Naru's exclamation on what Mai had told him.

"What do you mean you asked him to come today?"Naru shouts to his wife.

"Well, umm ….. We always argue before and… somehow you always follow my wishes after we fight. I figure out that this argument is one of those and later on you will hire him also with attached rules you know?"Mai said uncomfortably to Naru, then she suddenly looks up and look at him with those puppy dog eyes she always use to him. Naru then immediately knows that he lost the battle, how can he wins against his wife with those eyes and pouting lips that had captivated him in the first place? Naru just made a face palm and walk faster after Lin, it is official now. Mai would cause his early death and for some reasons he doesn't mind it. At least he would die happy teasing Mai and making her blush until Gene take him away with him.

Toshiro sighs as he looks at his watch again. He was waiting outside the SPR office for one hour already and wondering if Mai had somehow forgotten about him or if it is her usual habit of being late. Mai called him one week ago double checking if he still needs a part-time job and if he is still willing to work with her at where she was currently working on. At first, he was mildly interested. He heard from Mai's friend that she was working at SPR, an agency that specialized with paranormal research and exorcism. It was that thing both he and Mai had in common, their love with ghosts and paranormal events. It was also that thing that had made him like Mai because he haven't met any sane girl aside from her in their school who wasn't weird nor gothic who was into paranormal stuffs.

This mild interest had escalated into wanting to ask her if they still need another person for office work and manual labor. Surely with the way Mai's friends always boasted how SPR is gaining popularity, they will eventually need another pair of hands for their agency. It came to that point until it was diminished when he learned that it was Mai previous Boss who have broken her heart. He heard how cruelly he rejected Mai's confession and told her that he love and much prefer Mai's other best friend, the celebrity medium Masako Hara. Mai blatantly argue against that fact, telling them it wasn't true, but it had already ignited the irritation and hatred I have for the man that had left Mai broken.

After that, he thought Mai would be his girlfriend until Mai told him that she wants to think first and weigh if she truly likes me or she only sees the similarities between him and this "Naru"guy. He said he will wait, but Mai suddenly said that she will stop studying and will return to their second term informing them that she will go to London for some "family"event. Keiko and Michiru clarify this by saying the family event she was referring to might be her co-worker's wedding in the month of June. The reason why in London is what baffled them.

The rest was history after Mai sent me an e-mail asking me if I want a part-time job in SPR. I immediately agree so that I can study this Naru and maybe give him a piece of my mind by showing him that his lost is my gain after I steal Mai right under his nose. Mai told me that she will arrive today with his boss from London and she will introduce me to this Naru, but it was already passed 10 am and still no one is in the SPR office. I sighed again when I noticed a tall man with a hair slightly covering half of his face. I stood straight and wonder if he is Naru. He ignored me and took out a bunch of keys before opening the door of SPR office. Little did I know that at that instance, everything in my life would change and my life journey would then start with one question. How could this man managed to walk towards the SPR office and open the door while sleepwalking. As I noticed his closed eyes and a slight drool in the corner of his left mouth.

Author's Note:

Finally done with my first chapter. I hope it is not too boring, because I need to introduce Toshiro as he will later have a big role in my story. This is the main story of my prequel song fan fiction series that I have updated before. If you could help me improve my writing feel free to review my works.
