"Its a question of lust
Its a question of trust
Its a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together"---

"A Question of Lust" Depeche Mode.

"Hello?" A rough male voice echoed around the office, coming from the lobby. "Any one here?"
"That's your 10 o'clock appointment..." Mai uttered, surprised she could speak.
With an angry growl, Naru pulled back, tossing Mai's top at her. "Get yourself dressed and go introduce yourself. I'll be out in a few minutes."
Mai frowned. It seemed like he was angry with her, as if she caused the interruption.
"Whatever." She muttered, pulling her top over her head and fixing it in place, running her hands threw her hair. With that she stormed out the room, leaving Naru alone to try as hard as he could to get the tightness in his trousers to go down.

Mai smiled as brightly as she could at the two men. It was hard to do thanks to a mixture of her self inflicted sickness-also known as a hang over-and her guilt. She was with Yasuhara, sweet, kind and loving Yasuhara, but of course, because she was Mai, she had to muck it up.
"Hi! I'm Mr Shibuya's assistant Mai Tamiyama! He'll be with you in a moment." She showed them to the lounge where Naru would conduct the interview.
"Thank you sweet cheeks." The shorter fatter man smiled at her leeringly. He had a shaved head and his stomach protruded over his belt.
"Mai. Tea." Naru said, exiting his office and taking a seat on the couch.
"Of course." She said stiffly before smiling at the men, focusing more on the taller and younger man, who had short, dark hair and a friendly smile, unlike the older one who was looking her up and down like she was a piece of meat. "Would you like some Mr.." For a milisecond Mai paused remembering the names from her appointment book. "Kenji? Mr Nobuhara?"
Both men nodded and she went into the small kitchen.
"Sure would like to have her as an assistant. " Mr Kenji, the fatter man said with a leer in his eye.
"Yes. She is rather adapt at making tea and good with filing." Naru nodded stiffly, trying to repress the urge to smack the man for looking at Mai that way.
"It can't hurt that shes quite the looker eh?" Kenji chortled, not noticing the preditorial look in Naru's eyes.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about my assistant that way. She's here to work, not be stared at."
Nobuhara glared at Kenji as Mai came back in.
"Now, what is your case?"
Mai set the cups down in front of there respective drinkers before sitting next to Naru.
"We work for Thrills and Spills. It's a big carnival that travels around Japan every year. But one of the rides...strange things keep happening. At first we thought people were making it up, since it was teenagers normally..." Nobuhara sighed, running his fingers threw his hair. "But...then people started coming out in tears with bruises and cuts all over...one girl had a broken jaw."
"What ride is it?" Mai asked curiously, taking notes.
"Terror Tunnel..." Kenji answered taking a gulp of his tea.
"At first we thought it was the boyfriend but...he had a black eye and had been attacked too."
"Could it have been another passenger?" Naru asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No...each cart takes 2 people only, it's big with younger couples, so we give them some space. Only one cart is in the ride at each time and no workers go in whilst it's running..." Kenji shrugged. "We need to have it fixed or else the park'll shut down."
"So you think it's supernatural?"
"Yeah."
Mai could practically see the wheels turning in Naru's head.
"Ok. We'll take it."

After the men had gone Naru looked at Mai.
"Call Takigawa-san, Matsuzaki-san, John and Hara-san and see if they can be here for 10 am tomorrow morning." He paused in thought. "Then come to my office. We have unfinished business."
"Naru!" Mai exclaimed with a blush. "We can't let that happen again!"
"Why not? You enjoyed it. I enjoyed." He stated it as if it was the most obvious thing ever, like he was saying 'I brushed my teeth this morning' or 'Two plus two is four.'
"But..." She chewed her lower lip, unaware that Naru was watching the small trait she did whenever she was thinking hard with a hunger in his eyes.
"Mai." His voice was filled with lust.
"I..I'm with Yasuhara! It's cheating! What if he found out?"
"He won't." And with that said he picked Mai up in his arms and stormed into his office.

Mai was awoken by a cheerful song. Her cell phone, the one Bou-san had bought her.
She groaned as she sat up, hopping off Naru's desk and moving across to where her denim skirt lay, tossed carelessly on the floor, unaware of Naru's eyes watching her, pulling the slim phone out the pocket.
"Oh...Yasuhara..." Mai suddenly went red with guilt. "Hi...what? No I'm fine! Just busy...yeah Naru's really hard on me."
Naru had to suppress a laugh at the sexual innuendo the boy had just unknowingly said, causing Mai to shoot a glare towards him.
"Dinner tonight? Sure, pick me up from the office at 6. We'll need to swing by my apartment before we go out though, Ive not been home since last night. Ok, see you then."
Mai hung up and placed her phone of the edge of a shelf, pulling her underwear on then her skirt. She critically looked around for her tube top.
"If you hate what you're doing to him why don't you break it off." Naru's voice broke threw her thoughts as she plucked her top off of a potted plant.
"With who? You or him?"
"Him." Naru said straight away.
"Why would I break off a loving relationship in favor of this?" She waved her hand around his room. "We fight non-stop, have no feelings for each other than a mutual attraction and your my boss!" She frowned then sighed as the phone began to ring in her office. "I need to get that."

Naru sat in his office with a frown. He hated the thought of Mai being with someone else, other than him. Just the mention of Yasuhara made him want to break something. Preferably the boys nose.
As far as he was concerned, Mai Taniyama was his. He owned her. He was her employer. He was her mentor. She. Was. His.
But the frustrating thing was, Yasuhara didn't seem to understand this. Yasuhara touched his Mai, flirted with his Mai and...Naru almost imploded at the last though. Yasuhara had, had sex with HIS Mai.
Of course, he had thought of planning to break Mai and The Bastard Formally Known As Yasuhara up, but stopped thinking that after about 5 minutes. Mai would hate him.
He couldn't't handle Mai, of all people, hating him.
But he knew it would break him into hundreds of pieces when Mai left at the end of the day with The Bastard Formally Known As Yasuhara.

Does anyone else feel really bad for poor Yasuhara? Hell, I'm writing it and I feel bad. But what can I say! I'm a sadist.

Please review as it feeds my insanity...which may not be a good thing. But review anyway!!!!
