Mai POV
Suddenly all the girls stopped singing, because someone had entered the class. I didn't look up, because I thought it was the second music teacher again, searching for his notebook again. He was a very forgetful person, so I saw him in this class about six times in a day. Although he seemed careless, he was a very good teacher and I enjoyed his classes very much.
"Mai, can you come out for a few words?" I gasped. I was wrong. It wasn't music teacher that was in the class, but my employer, also known as Naru. I slowly lifted my eyes and they met his deep blue ones. He looked slightly annoyed and... amused? My cheeks turned red and I jumped off the desk. I wonder what was he doing here all of sudden? Wasn't he the SPR vampire who came out only in the night? I must admit, it was something new.
I could feel my friend and classmate gazes on my back. I could feel their grins and smirks. I can only guess what was going on in their minds. I gulped and put a weak smile on my lips. Somehow Naru looked... like an annoyed kitty. I know, I know, it really does sound weird, but he really did look like one.
I watched how Naru closed the doors behind me. I could almost hear my friends sneaking towards doors, trying to hear every word of our conversation.
"Are there a problem, Naru?" I asked smiling. He frowned and then let out a sigh He looked tired and like he hadn't slept for days.
"Yes, actually there is a problem," he finally said. Right, after all, the formula 'Naru + no problems' was impossible.
"First of all, you should remember to charge your phone when the battery dead," he continued making me understand that he had tried to reach me on phone before going to meet me in school. Right, my fault again. "And we have a new case. The client said that she would meet the team tomorrow in our office, so you should also be there at ten o'clock in the morning."
"But you gave me two week holiday. Can I skip only this one time?" I asked making puppy eyes. He – of course – didn't fall for them. He just glared in reply.
"No, I think it is more important than a singing class," he said. I clenched my teeth. What a jerk. He is always calling me stupid and saying that I should study more and now, when I really did what he said and studied even in summer time, he appears from nowhere and says that I should leave it, because a client had proposed a new case. Uhh, I really felt like punching him, but it wasn't the right time and place, plus he was already grumpy.
"Fine," I said in defeat. The was no other choice. I will leave the summer school and help him with the new case.
"You should also pack some clothes, because we are going to client's place right in that morning," and with those last words, he was left, leaving me alone in the corridor. With no good-byes as always.
Why did he always get what he wanted? He wasn't even nice, but I still agreed. I should show my temper sometimes too. Yeah, I should and I knew I couldn't do it. I just had too look at his expression and my mouth was already shut. 'What an influence,' I thought and went back to the class.
The girls, as I thought was glued to class's doors, they ears all red. I sweatdropped. Girls, especially the ones I knew was really scary when it came to boys. Handsome boys like Naru for example. What could I say? Good luck with stalking!
Naru POV
I looked at the clock impatiently. There was a hot cup of tea in my hand, and no, Mai didn't make it. To tell the truth, she wasn't even here and other members from the team either. It was always like that. They always found a way to miss the time they had to arrive. And then they gave me the lamest excuses ever. I still remember the monk excuse. He once told me that he missed the meeting, because he was helping a pregnant woman to get to the hospital in time... No, that wasn't the worst. The worst was – he said it two times in a row. Of course, I didn't argue. I didn't even care what he was doing, only the fact that he was late was important.
I sighed and enjoyed the last minutes of silence. It was like a music to my ears. No screaming, no laughing, no fighting. That kind of life I had past three years. Somehow, I had used to live like that, but still it sometimes sent me a big headache.
Suddenly the door flew open, crashing in the wall. I lifted my eyes to the intruder. My eyed widened as I saw who was standing in front of me. No one else could enter like that. Madoka. I could see bright smile in her features. God knows what she was up to, and you know what, I really didn't want to find out.
"Morning, Naru!" she said in loud voice, making Lin exit the office. The intruder turned to Lin with another bright smile, making the black-haired man turn away.
"Madoka," I slowly started, "what are you doing here?" She took a seat on the couch next to me, with her hands placed in her lap;
"Where did your manners go? I haven't visited you for so long time and you are welcoming me like that," she said, joking. I glared at her. I knew I couldn't object with her anyway, so I kept my mouth shut. She still hadn't replied to my question, so I kept silent waiting for her to start speaking again.
"Actually, I was the one who proposed you the new case," after a while she said. Oh, I knew that was coming. And I definitely new what was behind all of this. My mother, Luella Davis. In that case I couldn't argue with her either.
"I see," soft murmur left my mouth. I didn't have other choice if Madoka was here. I could almost here my mother's voice in my head, telling me how cute my team girls are. Oh joy...
"Good morning," I lifted my eyes again to see the whole team in front of me. Impressive. They had arrived all at the same time.
The voice belonged to Ayako. I nodded in response and turned to Madoka, who was waving her hand and greeting them.
"So, Naru-chan. Where is the client?" Asked Bou-san, taking a seat on the other couch, facing Madoka. Mai took the seat next to him and John next to her. The seat next to Madoka was occupied by Ayako and Masako.
"Actually, I am the one who purposed the case," suddenly said Madoka and five pairs of eyes turned to her. She giggled and continued. "We don't really have much time left, so I think it will be better if we are going now."
"Where are we going?" asked Masako.
"You will see," she said and smiled. Then she got up from the coach and went to my office. I raised and eybrow and wnt after her, leaving the confused team behind my back.
I closed my office doors and turned to Madoka who was gathering some files on my desk. 'And she called me rude.'
"Where exactly are we going?" I asked, not even wanting to hear her answer.
"To England."
I gasped. That was ridiculous. In England they had so many good researchers, why the hell did they wanted me to solve the case? Wait, no. Don't say anything, I know it myself very well. My parents. I already knew that they wanted to meet my team and – of course – me.
"When is the flight?"
Mai POV
The van slowly moved further, leaving the green traffic light behind it. I sighed and looked around. I was sitting closely next to Bou-san and Masako. He have been driving like this almost twenty minutes, and still I had no idea where Lin was taking us and what was the case about. Naru kept silent and when I tried to speak to him, he just glared at me, making me shut my mouth. I really didn't understand why was he in that kind of mood. I mean, yes. He is always cold, arrogant and the perfect idol of narcisst, but this time... this time it felt little different.
"Mai, you are taking the most space here," Masako next to me said in her soft voice, her big eyes turning to me. I rolled my eyes and moved closer to Bou-san. Altrough we are closer to word "friends" now, she still find a things to argue with me.
I could her Madoka chatting with Lin is low voice. Lin in other hand was just nodding and adding some short comments. Naru was sitting behind Madoka, looking out of the window, placed next to Ayako who was... wait, what was she doing? I leaned over her shoulder to find her filing her nails. Right. Two narcissts sitting next to each other. Perfect combination.
"We are almost here," said Madoka turning her head to us. I looked out of the window to see Narita's airport right in front of my eyes. To told the truth, I have never been in airport. This was my first time here and I couldn't help but to wondered what was she planning to do here.
Madoka get off the car and went to baggage carrier to take out the bags. Naru was standing right next to her, helping here. I could see that he was holding Masako's purple bag in his right hand and John's bag in other. Now I was officially confused. Why was he taking out our bags? I thought that maybe the customer wasn't yet in Japan, so we went to greet him.
I felt a hand on my back, trying to push me out of the car. I didn't even realize that everyone was standing next to car and me and Masako was the only ones left. "Sorry," I said and stepped out of the car, allowing Masako too. I yawned loudly and looked up to the sky. It was bright and sunny today. A little windy, so the heat wasn't so unbearable. I still wondered how could Naru walk around in black clothes in that kind of weather. Weirdo was all that I could say.
"Are we going to exorcise the airport?" Asked Bou-san, as we walked in the Airport. It was full of people. They were walking around with luggage, trying to find the right check point. I had only seen the Narita airport on TV and it looked awesome, but when you see all of this in live it is much different.
"No," laughed Madoka. "We are not going to exorcise the Airport, we are going to fly." My eyes widened. What did she just say?
"Fly?"
A/N: I didn't give it to someone to edit (I tried to edit myself) so please don't mind the mistakes. If you see any major mistakes, please not them to me.In those chapters I have played with POVs. I think I will stay with Mai's, because I think I go off character when I tried to write from Naru's POV. ;;
oh, and Twin. You really wanted to be in my notes.. so then. Luff you my sweet, thanks for being my dear twin and giving me some kind of inspiration for writing. ;)
