Ok there you go Ch. 2

Thanks for the review I really appreciate it

HIS MISERY

"Grrr…," growled Naru as he sat up in bed frustrated by something that happened two and a half years ago. The room he was in was lit up by the early morning sun; he got out of bed and closed the curtains and went back over to the bed and sat on it.

{Flashback}

….."Naru wait!" Mai voice rang out everything suddenly went quiet; I didn't even saw when she got up from the couch to holding unto my sleeve I really didn't want to face her. "Look at me," she ordered her voice was hoarse from crying I turned around slowly and looked into her big brown eyes, "don't go," she whispered and more tears slid down her cheeks. I hated seeing her like that I hate the fact it was my fault she was crying how I could forget she's so vulnerable "will you stay if I tell you… I'm in love with you?" When she said those words it broke my heart I just remember every time when she would wake up from a dream she had that glaze look in her eyes and for the whole day she would be so happy I had the feeling that I wasn't the one she fell for.

"No," I answered more venomous than I intended, I was angry at her she was no better than Miss Hara they only like me because I look just like my brother "you're in love with my dead brother," I brushed her shaking hand from my sleeve and turned to leave but before I turned around completely away I caught the heartbroken look on her face and she grabbed at her chest she looked as if she was going to have an heart attack…

From that day on the memory haunt Naru every chance it got, the boy ran a frustrate hand through his hair. He got off the bed and went into the bathroom 20 minutes later he exit his room dressed in his casual black, he made his way down the stairs where he met Lin who had just exit his father's office.

"You're just in time your father would like to see you," Naru nodded and went in.

Lin could tell Naru was troubled by something ever since he came back Naru was insomnia rampant for six consecutive months he would walk around with a huge black aura around him. He easily got annoyed and quick to anger something Naru wouldn't normally do, even though Naru is Naru and required his peace and quiet but this silence was beyond that Naru plunged into the solitary confinement and into the sea of anti-social. One day Naru ordered tea from the new maid, she forgot and brought him coffee instead pissed off and annoyed he growled at her

"Can't you do anything right Mai?" the poor maid was so frighten she immediately started to apologize and she started to cry .Naru saw her tears and instantly remembered Mai crying and regret growling at the poor girl, he gently touched her on her shoulder and apologized sincerely then left. It was then that Lin figured out that Mai was his problem it was a pity that he couldn't see that he too was in love with the girl. Meddling wasn't something Lin indulged in but this opportunity was too good to pass up and the perfect person to turn to for a sold plan was no other than Monk. Couple days later Lin had a talk with Naru's father about the cases they had done when they were in Japan at that time the man told Lin of his own plans,

"I wanted to tell him but he's been in a foul mood ever since he came back, did he had a bad experience when he was in Japan?" the man asked

"Not really but there is a reason for his mood he just have to man up to it. Lin got his break when he had to go visit his mother in China couple days after he got there he called Monk and arranged a meeting they met at a café not too far from the SPR building.

"What's the big idea of being so discreet?" Monk asked as they took their seat

"I have a preposition for you I assure you, you will enjoy it," Lin said avoiding the question

"Huh?"

Lin told Monk what took place on his side of the planet, Monk was a bit surprise when he heard what happened between Naru and the maid then he shared his side of the story of what happened to Mai after Naru left.

"She took it pretty hard," Monk said "so is that what you wanted to talk about?"

"I have an idea and I'm gonna need your help," Lin said then he told Monk of his idea the man jumped at the idea and waste no time in scheming up the perfect plan

"You know Mai is gonna be really mad at me,"

"That's your problem just make sure everything go as to planned,"

"Sheesh…are you sure you're not related to Naru in any way?"

That very evening Lin booked a flight back to England when he got back he had another talk with his boss this time telling him about the persons that assisted them on the cases as well as the constant bickering between Naru and his young assistant Mai.

"You know I would love to meet that girl," Mr. Davis said

"If all goes well sir I'm sure you'd meet her," Lin answered

"Is she nice?" Mr. Davis asked

"Too nice,"

The next day Lin spent the entire day in his boss's office relating their events of the cases they have been on, he told the man of how special Mai that she saw Eugene in her sleep and giving Noll a nickname calling him 'Naru' for being a narcissist. Mr. Davis was pleased to hear to hear of their adventure in the paranormal world.

Naru got out of his father's office and walked over to where Lin was how,

"He insisted that we go back to Japan to continue to work on more paranormal activities," Naru said standing beside Lin gazing through the window.

"Did he say why," Lin asked

"He claimed the reports of the cases we did were interested and would like for us to continue our investigations but it's weird … he told me to make sure the persons that assisted me on the cases are working with me."

"That is weird," Lin suggested "I'll go call Miss Hara."

"We leave 1pm tomorrow afternoon," Naru informed right before Lin left. Naru then walked over to his bookshelf and took up a random book he settled in a nearby chair and opened the book to read.

{Flashback}

THE DAY GENE BURIED

….Naru was standing by the window glaring through it , Masako was sitting across him dressed in black silky kimono her cheeks were stained with tears and as for Madoka and Lin they were nowhere in sight.

"The only reason I was jealous of her was because she could see him…," Naru didn't looked at her but he was listening "…I hated that everytime when she fell asleep she would see him and talked to him but when she's awake she had you I used to think she was lying but when I was taken away on the Labyrinth Case I saw him and he told me everything was going to be ok. I knew then that it wasn't you it was him it was Gene and she wasn't lying I figured out that she didn't have a clue that it wasn't you cause she always referred to him as 'Dream Naru' because he looked exactly like you she could only assume it was you. You talked to her so casual and the constant bickering between the both of you is so annoying it made me sick to my stomach. The next thing that really pissed me off was that every time I told you to call me Masako you kept on calling me 'Miss Hara'." Naru now had his back turned to the window his arms crossed across his chest he cast her a brief look then turned his attention to the bookshelf she had a sad distant look in her eyes. "…and for that I'm sorry and I am sincerely sorry for blackmailing you it's just that I missed him so much and you were the closest thing to him then I found out you were going to Japan under an alias name and the only way I could get you to go out with me was by blackmailing you I thought that if I had you I didn't have to let go…but…you are nothing like him you are the total opposite I only felt like I was in love with you but I'm the one who's in love with your dead brother not Mai I would know if she was in love with him." Madoka then walked in

"There you are I have been looking for you Masako your drive is here,"

"Thank you Madoka," Masako said and the two ladies left the room leaving Naru to his thoughts after the funeral he never saw Masako again.

Annoyed with the flashbacks he snapped the book shut and tossed it on the table at that moment Lin walked over to him,

"Miss Hara said she's more than happy to work with you again,"

"That's not the worst part yet we have Mai and the others to face," Naru said

"I took the opportunity to call Monk too," Lin informed

"Just great," Naru comment "what did he say?"

"He suggested we have a meeting tomorrow night at Mai's place,"

"What?" Naru asked in shock "and she's ok with that?"

"She doesn't know of it but he said we should meet up at some concert he was going to play at Mai will be performing," Lin said then left

(Mai performing?) Naru thought to himself (What have you been doing for the pass two and a half years Mai?)

(THE NIGHT OF THE CONCERT)

"Where did you get these?" Naru asked putting the backstage pass around his neck

"Monk sent them to the office and I picked them up," Lin answered. Naru was very anxious and nervous to see Mai again after all these years he didn't know how she was going to react when she sees him tonight. Naru and Lin walked in after showing their passes to the guard out front the place was really crowed people were talking loudly and cheering for the persons on stage over the noise Naru heard the M.C called out Mai's name. His heart skipped a beat both he and Lin stopped suddenly and directed their attention to the stage a shy girl made her way front and center in a red and a black jacket.

(This have got to be a mistake there is no way that is Mai, she looks nothing like her) Naru thought as he observed the girl on stage but when she spoke on the mike there is no mistake that was Mai. Just her voice alone drove his anxiety into over drive no one would know this by looking at him knowing Naru he was always in control of his emotions even if it was wrecking him apart.

"Did you forget?"

Naru was shocked not only that Mai was singing but she was singing in english he was impressed but knowing Naru he would never tell Mai that. He stood there and listened to the song, he could hear it in her voice that she was sad she sounded as if she was on the verge of crying and she did. When the song ended Mai walked off stage Naru and Lin then made their way to the backstage it didn't took him along time to find her she was standing out, when Naru spotted her she was talking with her friends the ones he met when he first met her.

(Ok here goes)

Naru thought to himself before he walked up behind the pre-occupied girl, he heard when her friends made comments they were looking directly at him obviously catching the girls attention then she turned around to see what the problem was. Everything seemed to go in slow motion to Naru even though her body wasn't that of a child anymore her face was certainly the same as she turned and looked up at him his icy sapphire eyes met with her big brown eyes, her eyes widen in shock as she gazed upon him.
